Chapter 58: Complaints
"You were just eighteen that year, and you were not as weak as a crown. You wanted to study and get fame to repay your father's nurturing kindness, but before you could achieve anything, your loved ones left you forever.
"After your father died, your family property was still occupied by relatives in the clan, and there was no good land and house left.
"You hated yourself for being a weak scholar who couldn't kill the enemy, and sighed that you insisted all your life but didn't get your dream come true, so in despair, you chose to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river."
Speaking of this, Yan Chujing paused slightly, observed Chen Jingshan's face for a moment, and then continued: "But there is no endless road, maybe God can't stand your experience, so not only did you not die in this jump, but you were also rescued by well-wishers."
"You were rescued by the leader of a small dart game, and you followed him to practice martial arts and exercise, and you have developed a skill. Later, he even married his daughter.
"But after only five years of such peaceful days, you have changed the course of your life again in a famine. During the famine years, you had a disagreement with your host, and some of your brothers fell into the grass, and since then you have become a mountain bandit who has dominated a mountain. ”
People who had never had any mood swings before, when Yan Chujing said this, he suddenly frowned.
It seems that this memory has always been a fish in his heart.
Seeing this, Chi Xinian hurriedly touched Yan Chujing with his elbow.
And such a change, Yan Chujing will naturally not let go.
Almost at the same time as Chi Xinian reacted, he spoke: "Judging from your past experience, your nature is not bad, but life has given you too much suffering, so you have embarked on the road of being a bandit."
"But after being a bandit, your life is quite moist. In this case, how could you agree to do something for the Xue family?
"Since ancient times, officials and bandits have been people who stand on opposite sides, and you have neither the embarrassment of life nor the affection of the other party. Why did you willingly make a knife in his hand?
"What's more, this knife is still aimed at the people of your country."
"Fellow villagers?" Chen Jingshan seemed to mind Yan Chujing's rhetoric, and the moment his words fell, he spoke in a dumb voice, "I'm afraid you're not mistaken, when did I kill my fellow villagers?" I robbed the rich and gave to the poor so that they could live a good life, and they thanked me for helping them through the hardships of poverty. ”
"It's you officials, heh...", he sneered again, "If you don't seek politics in your position, you are the murderer who kills the people!" ”
Is this a complaint against the officials?
Chi Xinian secretly raised his eyebrows, and analyzed his psychology from his words.
Realizing this, she hurriedly tugged at Yan Chujing's sleeve and signaled him to stop talking.
Immediately, she picked up his words again and said: "You are right, from the imperial capital to the small border counties, the Dajing rivers and mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and among these thousands of officials, there is always a handful of waste who eat the emperor's grain.
"They took the money of the court, and they should have taken care of the people, but they regarded the people as nothing, even the people of fish and meat.
"You hate such officials, and you want to be a hero in the green forest and take care of the people yourself, I think you are very courageous and do the right thing. But... Are you doing this knowing that you're on the right track?
"Or are you sure that what you are following is a good official who will benefit the people?"
