Chapter 163: The Situation in Lin'an Town
The little boy said seriously: "Mother said that the people of the Tianming Sect are all good people, and the people who bully them are all bad...... Not....... ”
The mother next to her hurriedly covered the little boy's mouth and kept nodding her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all kids' nonsense." ”
Lin Ming was even more puzzled, the so-called childlike words, why do children say this, and why do parents teach them like this. Lin Ming asked the parent softly:
"Please tell me, why is the Tianming Sect good?"
"I don't know, I don't know. ”
The woman hurriedly left as she spoke, Lin Ming still wanted to ask the others, and the people around her also dispersed, like a plague god, avoiding Lin Ming's eyes and not daring to look at her.
The group of people who were still under pressure just now were left without anyone in the blink of an eye. Turning his head and seeing those two Tianming Sect people, Lin Ming didn't want to arrest them.
Looking at it blankly in his heart, he didn't know if what he was doing was right, what he was doing now was really right? What was right and what was wrong? Lin Ming was confused.
Something went wrong. The two Tianming Sect people, seeing that Lin Ming didn't pay attention to them anymore, but left alone in a daze, they were overjoyed and picked up a life. The two of them supported each other and quickly left the place.
......
Lin Ming knew what went wrong, and he asked people along the way, what was going on with the Tianming Sect, but those people were like seeing ghosts, and they couldn't avoid it, and they left when they heard him ask about the Tianming Sect.
Finally, Lin Ming asked an old beggar, and the old beggar said:
"Young man, you don't know about the situation in Lin'an Town, they won't tell you, they still want their own lives, my old man has no scruples, hehe, as long as you give some money, I'll tell you everything you want to know." ”
Hearing this, Lin Ming hurriedly took out the silver taels and put them in the old beggar's hand, and said, "You say, you tell me what's going on." ”
The old beggar took the silver taels, checked it, put a bright smile on his face, put it into his clothes, and began to tell the story:
"Do you know why you don't know about Lin'an Town?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Ming frowned. I can't say that I don't understand, but listening to his tone, I don't know Lin'an Town at all.
"Do you think that Lin'an Town benefits from the country to live and work in peace and contentment?" the old beggar smiled even more when he saw him ask, and asked rhetorically.
Lin Ming was puzzled, is there anything wrong with the people relying on the country to live?
The old beggar shook his head and said:
"The people in Lin'an Town are all people from the Tianming Sect to live their current life, do you still think this is a cult?" Lin Ming was a little surprised, the people in Lin'an Town actually relied on the Tianming Sect to live their current life. Lin Ming was shocked, how could this make people believe.
When the old beggar saw that he had stopped talking, and knew what he was thinking, he continued:
"That's what I dare tell you now.
Lin'an Town was a very desolate place before, and the reason was that because of the mayor's harsh policy, he deliberately increased taxes. Originally, people could not eat enough, and after teaching taxes, they could only wait to die and starve. Speaking of this, the old beggar paused, as if to give Lin Ming a chance to digest.
Lin Ming couldn't help but ask: "If it is a deliberate increase in taxes, then you can sue him to the provincial officials." ”
"Sue him?" the old beggar asked, and shook his head again: "You are too young, the people of Lin'an Town can't go out to sue him, even if you get the opportunity, the mayor will spend money and money to pass, what do you think?"
Lin Ming was stunned.
The old beggar sighed and said, "If there were enemies in Lin'an in the past, then it was the mayor's family, and there were two other families, known as the three evils of Lin'an! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Zhumen's wine and meat smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Before, the daughter's family didn't dare to go out at all, and the nobles took it away directly.
Until the advent of the Tianming Sect. Suddenly the old beggar asked:
"Do you know when the Heavenly Ming Sect appeared?"
Lin Ming didn't talk, didn't it appear recently, since the old beggar asked like this, there was definitely a problem. Seeing that Lin Ming didn't speak, the old beggar stopped selling Guan Zi, and couldn't help but say:
"Five years, the Tianming Sect has been in town for five years!"
Five years?Lin Ming was stunned, and Bo Mingzong only got the news recently. However, as you can imagine, it is said that it has only appeared recently, and it is impossible for the Tianming Sect to show such a huge scale.
"As soon as the Tianming Sect came to this town, they collected the scandal of the mayor and them, so they didn't notify the government until recently, when the mayor realized that things had reached a point where they couldn't control them, so they notified the government to collect them.
However, they underestimated the strength of the Tianming Sect, and the government personnel were all wiped out, and then they began to inform the sect, but it was too late to inform the sect, and the people sent by the Boming Sect were killed by the Tianming Sect. At this, the old beggar shook his head and looked into the distance as if to reminisce about the past.
"The mayor told the sect that the Tianming Sect had raped and plundered, smashed, burned, and killed, but they didn't think about why so many people were willing to defend the Tianming Sect if this was the case. ”
Lin Ming frowned, listening to him until now, it was beyond the scope of Lin Ming's cognition, in his story, the Tianming Sect defended the townspeople, and the mayor of the town was a fish and flesh people, doing all kinds of evil.
Looking at Lin Ming's appearance, he knew that he was a little unconvinced, so he immediately said:
"Do the former mayors and nobles know how they did it?"
Lin Ming raised his eyes and looked at him curiously, and the old beggar said:
"There used to be a festival in the town called the Hunting Festival. ”
"Hunting Festival?" Lin Ming muttered in a low voice.
"Yes, the day before that festival, people send their daughters deep into the mountains or into the forest. Because on the day of the hunting festival, the children of the nobility rode horses to hunt beautiful girls in the town, and sent the girls they hunted to the judges, and in the end, whoever hunted the most beautiful girls could also get a large reward. ”
Lin Ming was stunned, his eyes full of shock. The old beggar sighed: "Alas, in the former Lin'an Town, the people in the town were just playthings, real aristocratic toys. ”
"This festival was later canceled, just because of the Tianming Sect, the people of the Tianming Sect had several bloody hunting festivals, and they never held them again, and there are many similar situations. Why are the nobles now restrained in their lives and no longer like this? It's not because the sword of the Tianming Sect hangs above their heads and they have to be restrained."
There was too much information from this conversation, and it was too shocking, and after thanking the old beggar, Lin Ming left in a daze.
After he left, Xiao Muran appeared next to the old beggar.
