Chapter 1186: How Many Benevolent Ones
The world is complicated, how many benevolent people are there?
Jianghu chivalry, are you worried about the people?
On the surface, there are people in this world who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, all over the world, and there are many people in sight. But in fact, throughout the ages, there have always been only a few people with lofty ideals who "worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world after the world". It is even said that it is rare to see it in the whole world.
In fact, people are selfish, and benevolent saints who truly have the world in mind will definitely be remembered by the world. However, there will always be people who have selfish desires and will pierce the true face of those hypocrites, so that the world will feel that this "world is for the public" true, benevolent and benevolent person does not actually exist.
Many times, people are sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact, it is because of the supervision of others. If we can be a good and noble person without the supervision of others, then we are truly righteous.
Lixun desire, do not change the original intention.
Such a person is the most rare and rare, and it is true, goodness and beauty.
In front of the world, we can behave in a dignified manner, like a real living Buddha in the world. But we can't deceive ourselves, because our own hearts can reflect our ugly souls.
Under the mirror of the soul, any demon or monster will surely show its original form.
This year's severe drought has affected several provinces.
Although the court made great efforts to provide relief, it could not make up for this special famine. In particular, at the time of the autumn harvest, there was a locust plague, grain production was insufficient, grain prices were growing day by day, and the famine not only did not improve, but it seemed to be spreading from Huguang to all surrounding areas.
At this time, the court also stepped up its efforts to provide porridge and disaster relief in various places, but there were many hungry people and the sick were wandering, and the court could not provide all the relief.
In addition, the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River were rampant again, taking advantage of the famine to make chaos, and the court was busy, and it was also unbearable to go all out to suppress the bandits.
In the rivers and lakes, many martial arts sects are also helping the court to fight against the Japanese pirates on the sea, but the beggar gang seems to stay out of the matter.
However, this is not the case. On the one hand, the beggar gang let people collude with the Poisonous Beast Gorge to make trouble, and on the other hand, they want to continue to fight and pester, but they are busier than other sects.
"Brother, where is Elder Sha?" The fifth line and Master Sun's master and apprentice followed the disciple of the Beggar Gang Purifying Clothes Sect for most of the day, but they still didn't see Sha Hailong, so they couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! Elder Sha is in Huaqing Town, twenty miles away from here. The disciple replied.
"What is he doing there?" The fifth line asked.
"Huh! Now the beggar gang is not more than usual, big and small things are wasted, the head elder is out of harmony, no one has long been able to do the right thing, all rely on Elder Sha to support him, what do you say he can do? The disciple's tone seemed to be dissatisfied with the current situation of the beggar gang.
Of course, the fifth line also knows that the beggar gang is in civil strife now, and the real benevolent and righteous people seem to have no one else except Sha Hailong.
It turned out that since Xu Guohui chased and killed his mentor Mu Qianzhi on the one hand, and wanted to collude with the Japanese and the Poisonous Beast Gorge on the other, no one had taken care of the original beggar gang's business. Now there are many hungry people, and most of them are flowing out of the vast land of the lake. When the court couldn't take care of it, the beggars were also trying their best to help.
However, as this disciple said, Xu Guohui and the elders of the Beggar Gang are now in the midst of infighting, and this important matter of helping the hungry people in various places has actually fallen on Sha Hailong, the elder of the Dirty Clothes Sect.
Huaqing Town, which is the main road to Huguang Province, is also the place where the hungry people are the most scattered.
Sha Hailong came here at this time, most likely busy with similar beggar affairs.
The group of four soon came to Huaqing Town. Originally, there was no rudder for the beggars in this town, and generally only in areas above the state and county level, the beggar gangs would have rudders. However, the situation here is special now, so Sha Hailong temporarily set up a rudder to take care of those who are seriously ill and hungry.
The fifth line came to the temporary rudder of the beggar gang in Huaqing Town, but did not immediately see Sha Hailong, but only saw a whole rudder of hungry people.
The fifth line has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and similar situations have not been seen before. However, Zhizhi has never seen such a scene of starvation all over the ground since she was a child. At this time, my mood was greatly touched, and I finally realized the real suffering of the world.
Half a year ago, although she had heard about the disaster in Huguang this year, she had never seen it in person. Occasionally, I saw some hungry people wandering, but it was only the tip of the iceberg, and most of them were not seen.
It's just that when I came to Huaqing Town today, I saw what the real hungry people were like, even more tragic than the corpses on the battlefield.
"How so?" Zhizhi watched it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"The people in the world are suffering, and it has always been like this! What's more, the previous Sichuan disaster relief official silver was also jointly robbed by Sheng Ling and Xue Qianhe. Although after the case was solved, the prince vigorously pursued it, but the official bank was lost very quickly, and half of the recoverers were insufficient, which made it more difficult for the court to provide disaster relief. Although the fifth line doesn't say it on weekdays, he is also secretly paying attention to these things.
"Impossible! How come there are less than half of those who recover the many official silver? Zhizhi was even more puzzled.
"I haven't had time to investigate this matter in detail. I only know that regardless of the Kunlun faction and the temple, the family assets have been copied almost completely, and I don't know where the rest of the official money went. As for the details, it is not known. The fifth line answers.
"After the royal brother closes the case, who will handle the aftermath?" Zhizhi, as the princess on the spot, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Dongchang Si Li's palm seal eunuch, Shi Zhongshi's father-in-law!" The fifth line answers.
"This old eunuch, is he deceiving his superiors and subordinates and stealing official money?" Zhizhi said hatefully.
"Not necessarily! The truth of this matter is unknown, and I dare not talk nonsense. Moreover, it is normal for the things of silver money to flow back and forth in the rivers and lakes. This batch of disaster silver flowed into the rivers and lakes for several months, and also experienced the hands of the Qingcheng faction, the Kunlun faction, the temple, the Dongchang and other gates, among which the real number is difficult to know, even if it is lost, it is difficult to investigate carefully. Dongchang used this as a reason to play the emperor, and it was difficult for the emperor to track down the truth. The fifth line of mantra says.
When Zhizhi heard this, it was true: "However, in less than three months, more than half of the official bank has been lost, which seems too unreasonable, right?" ”
"Huh! How many people are doing ghosts, and whether there are people who deceive and hide them, I really can't say? The fifth line answers.
"Why?" Zhizhi was puzzled.
"Because, there is no account to be right; Therefore, there are people who fish in troubled waters, and there is no way to know! The fifth line answers.
Indeed, since the court flowed into the rivers and lakes, it immediately lost its accounts, and no one has ever checked the real figures. Although it is only March, there are many people who have the opportunity to embezzle it without permission, and no one has ever written it. It's really not easy to really find out about this matter. In addition, there is no account, and there is no purpose, so even if it is misappropriated after solving the case, no one will know about it.
"After returning to Beijing, I must let the imperial brother investigate this matter thoroughly!" Zhizhi said hatefully.
"It's all said, there is no account to check, so it is still verified?" The fifth line asks rhetorically.
When Zhizhi heard this, she was immediately speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"Fifth young man, Miss Zhizhi, why are you here? My brother is busy with affairs and has lost his welcome. Forgive me! At this time, the tired and haggard Sha Hailong finally returned.
"Brother Sha, you're welcome, you have something big to do, so naturally it's not as free as the two of us idlers." Zhizhi smiled.
"That's right! The old gentleman at the door who was sick for the homeless, but your friend? Sha Hailong asked.
After Sha Hailong reminded them, they realized that Master Sun had disappeared, but it turned out that he had gone to treat the homeless people.
"Oh! By the way, Brother Sha, didn't the court open a warehouse to release grain? Why are there still so many hungry people? Zhizhi couldn't help but ask.
"Huh! The court did release grain, but it was also a drop in the bucket. In addition, the drought has not been resolved, and this year's autumn harvest has been ravaged by locust plagues, and there is almost no harvest in many places. As a result, the number of hungry people has increased instead of decreasing, which is to be expected. Sha Hailong said, and led Zhizhi to the door of the rudder.
Because there are too many hungry people, the beggars here are divided, so they only take in those who are seriously ill and have no money to save them. The rudder was already full of patients, so Sha Hailong had to build a grass hut at the door of the rudder to accommodate as many patients as possible.
Sun Xiaowu not only knew how to practice Xuanmen magic, but also knew how to practice medicine to save people, at this time he saw that there were many patients in the rudder, so he abandoned Zhizhi and the fifth line, and helped the beggars to help the disciples to help the sick.
"Master, how is it?" Zhizhi asked.
"It's like a plague!" Sun Xiaowu replied.
"Famine and pestilence, how is this good?" The fifth line was also very worried.
"Indeed, it is a plague. In a year of famine, plague is indispensable. I've visited famous doctors, but I've never seen a way to do both. "Shahai Dragon Road.
"I have one side that can delay their illness, but not the root cause." Sun Xiaowu said.
"Very good, please sir teach me. It's just that this medicinal wealth is not easy to find. "Shahai Dragon Road.
"This is natural. But if you want to eradicate the roots, you need to ask one person to go out of the mountain? Sun Xiaowu said.
"Who?"
"The people in the Crazy Hall Inn, the mad demon doctor!" Sun Xiaowu replied.
"He? How do you get out of the mountains? ”
"Do I have a way to get him out of the mountains?" Sun Xiaowu replied.
"How?" The crowd asked.
"In the early years, I had a relationship with him, and we still had some affection for each other. If it weren't for Zhizhi and the others after they came back from the Crazy Evil Island, the old man really didn't know that the mad demon doctor had been hiding in the Crazy Hall Inn. I have a letter now, you only need to send someone to Yumu Village, and let the old man of the ferry send the letter to the Crazy Island, and the mad demon doctor will naturally come out of the mountain to help you. Sun Xiaowu said.
"Unexpectedly, Master Sun actually knew the mad demon doctor Caiye? As everyone knows, when I went to Crazy Island that day, I was specifically looking for him. If I had known Master Sun earlier, how good would it be? "Shahai Dragon Road.
"Good! Without further ado. I will write at once, and you will send a competent man to Yumu Village, and hand it over to the old man of the ferry. Sun Xiaowu said, took a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and asked Sha Hailong to send someone to send it.
Sha Hailong had been to the Crazy Evil Island, and he was naturally familiar with the road, so he explained it clearly to his right-hand man, and the man immediately set off.
"That's right! How did you remember me? Sha Hailong first asked someone to deliver the letter, and then came back and asked.
"To tell you the truth, the old man asked them to bring me here, and the old man wanted to ask Elder Sha about someone." Sun Xiaowu was straightforward.
"Who?"
"Elder Sha, have you ever known a snake addict?" Sun Xiaowu asked.
"Snake addict? Haven't heard of this person's name, and don't recognize it? Sha Hailong replied.
"Then that's strange, then how can he get involved with your beggars?" Sun Xiaowu was even more puzzled.
