Chapter 166: What is right and wrong?
Early the next morning, Shangguan Yi and the two of them took their luggage and rushed over with Shangguan Yi's new younger brother, no, it should be said that the first younger brother - Zhikong walked to the place where he had made an appointment with Jun Yishen, went down the mountain together, and set off in a carriage.
"Who is this little master......" Jun Yishen looked at Shangguan Yi who came with a little monk, and was a little confused about what the situation was...... Aren't you afraid that Huichen will chase you?
"Well, this is a dirt bun who wants to go down the mountain to see the outside world, don't mind. Shangguan Yi said very casually, with a hint of disparagement, looking down on him.
Zhikong glanced at Shangguan Yi with his peripheral eyes and did not speak.
Don't talk nonsense outside, and don't believe what others say, whether it's theirs or ours.
This was one of Shangguan Yi's instructions last night, and he remembered it.
Jun Yishen looked at the little monk Hanhan, and didn't pay much attention to it, he was a little impressed by this monk, as if his status in the Great Guangming Temple was not low, if he wanted to come out to see the world, he told Huichen that he couldn't refuse to come to Shangguanyi, so no wonder he was so unhappy.
"Then let's go, he's in a carriage with you?" After Jun Yishen figured it out, he told him that he was going to go, and asked Shangguan Yi about Shangguan Yi's arrangements for the little monk, which seemed to be an inquiry, but it was actually an arrangement.
"Well, of course, I'll have to take good care of him. Shangguan Yi said helplessly, very reluctant to carry this drag oil bottle.
"It's not a big problem, let's get in the car. Jun Yishen smiled, comforted him a little, and got into the carriage to leave.
Shangguan Yi naturally took Hua Xiangrong and the little monk into another carriage, and when Yue Zhengdao got on the horse belatedly, they officially set off and rushed to Kyoto according to the established route.
After the three of them got into the carriage, Shangguan Yi naturally sat near the exit, letting the little monk and Hua Xiangrong sit inside.
"Will there be any danger on the road?" Hua Xiangrong looked at him obviously defensive, a little suspicious, could anyone else be bold enough to rob the convoy of the robber Yi Shen...... don't want to live? Even the people of the Demon Sect should weigh it.
"I can't say, it's always right to be careful, no one is perfect, and their defenses can't be seamless, don't be careless. Shangguan Yi naturally knew Hua Xiangrong's thoughts, after all, he chose to walk with Jun Yishen because he took a fancy to this, safety. It does not mean that the more people there are, the more the masters, and the stronger the overall strength of the team, the safer! There are still a lot of masters in Jun Yishen and his party, so naturally they are safer.
"That's right, there should be a lot of people who want to kill Jun Yishen, will we just get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den again?" Hua Xiangrong nodded, although the situation of the two of them is very ordinary, even very dangerous, but Jun Yishen's is not much better than them, right?
"This is the East China Sea after all, and he is the prime minister of the East China Sea, where the king's land, there must be people who protect him, not to mention, there are so many people who swear to protect him, it is more than enough to send away a Jun Yi Shen. Those people might only have one chance to do anything to Jun Yishen, and they had to be cautious, especially after they had already failed once in Jiangnan City, and their chances were even less. Shangguan Yi explained, not saying his guess about those who were secretly protecting Jun Yishen, if someone wanted to do it this time, it might have to pay a considerable price.
"That's right. Hua Xiangrong nodded thoughtfully, and the little monk next to him also had a hint of understanding in his eyes, maybe this is the reason why the master asked him to follow this guy, just one rush, there were so many twists and turns, these are all things he didn't think of, and he didn't think about it.
"What I said to Jun Yishen just now, you don't have to take it to heart. And you have to remember that after leaving the Great Light Temple, no matter how harmonious and friendly we seem to get along with Jun Yishen and them, don't trust him too much, it's better to beware of him. After all, acting on the scene is just acting on the spot, maybe he is serious, maybe he is not, different positions are different positions after all, he serves the monarch, and we may be friends, but they will not be forever friends, one day the times will change, conflicts of interest, maybe become enemies. In fact, this sentence is not only to say that he and us, you and we are the same, the world is impermanent, no one knows what kind of changes will occur, I can't expect it, now you can trust me, but after many years, whether you can trust me is not necessarily. Shangguan Yi turned to the little monk and said earnestly, this is the first lesson he taught the little monk, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
"But the reputation of the monarch in the Great Guangming Temple has always been very good, everyone thinks that he is a humble gentleman, gentle as jade, and does not put on any stands......" The little monk retorted in a low voice, he was afraid that others would hear it, and he was also lacking in confidence because he was now listening to Shangguan Yi's orders, but he still said his opinion.
"I don't want to say anything to slander him, but you have to know that you are an immature child, and he is a mature adult, and you can't just look at what he looks like. He is certainly like this in the Great Guangming Temple, but what about the Great Guangming Temple? A humble gentleman, gentle as jade, can he suppress the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of a country?" Shangguan Yi asked in the last two rhetorical questions, and the little monk who asked was speechless.
The little monk knew this no matter how lacking common sense, but he still couldn't imagine Jun Yishen's other faces.
"Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and you will see people's hearts over time, and you will understand in the future, people's hearts are unpredictable, there is no need to carry out such difficult things as soon as you come up, especially Jun Yishen's mind, if you can really touch him very thoroughly, you will not follow us down the mountain, and you will be able to take charge as your master hopes." Shangguan Yi persuaded him, if Jun Yishen was so easy to be seen through by the little monk, he would not be worthy of these three words.
In fact, if there are any, he still hasn't said it very clearly, for example, if he doesn't put the true identity of the little monk in front of Jun Yishen clearly, just to prevent Jun Yishen from noticing the little monk, and then curry favor with him and offer hospitality or something. A politician's vision of investing in the future is also an important factor in measuring his success, Jun Yishen has undoubtedly done a good job in this regard, if he knew that the little monk was the only disciple of Huitong, and knew that it was Huichen who asked Shangguan Yi to take him down the mountain to practice, he would not be so careless.
After all, there is a person in the core leadership group of the next generation of forces that you have always wanted to win over, and this is what kind of help it is, it goes without saying, and it is very reasonable and reasonable to pay some price for it.
As for whether the little monk can become such a key figure, before the change, Shangguan Yi was still uncertain, even if he knew that the little monk was a disciple of Huitong, it was the same. Because the position of the Great Light Temple is not a Zen concession system, and the master is the abbot and the head of the institute, will his disciples definitely be able to take over this position? No, not necessarily, the talented and virtuous people live in it. Therefore, even if Jun Yishen finds out the identity of the little monk, he will not care too much, there are geniuses in the Pranya Hall who have the ability to take over as the head of the Pranya Hall, and there are people who perform better than the little monk, and the little monk is a candidate for this identity, but he is not the only candidate, or even the best candidate.
But after Huichen asked Shangguan Yi like that, from what he meant, Shangguan Yi could hear that maybe in Huichen's heart, there was already a candidate for the next head of the Hanruotang, and the next question was whether he could be qualified for this position. If Shangguan Yi can help him up, then Huichen will arrange the little monk step by step to take the position according to his own ideas, but if the little monk is a dou who can't be supported, then he can only be replaced by someone to take over.
He knew about this, Huichen knew it, and it wasn't necessarily true that Hui Zhi didn't know, and other people, including the little monk, naturally didn't know. Therefore, he will not let others know, it is too dangerous, for example, if the Demon Sect knows, he will use their means to bewitch, and he will not be stabbed from inside in the future and will be hit hard.
"Okay. The little monk said as if he didn't understand, very well-behaved.
The master comes first, although Shangguan Yi is better than him in this regard, which is a bit shameful, but he still treats Shangguan Yi with an attitude of respecting his teacher.
"By the way, you didn't seem to say what we were going to Kyoto for. Hua Xiangrong thought for a while when Shangguan Yi was "teaching children" and thought of this question.
"Well, I'm going to deliver a letter first, but it may not be that simple, there must be something else waiting for us afterwards, it won't be easy. Shangguan Yi didn't say it in detail, because he didn't know it himself.
"It's not easy to send a letter. Hua Xiang nodded solemnly. If it's just a casual letter, then whoever can send it, but if you send it to someone, especially if it's a very capable person, things will be very tricky, and there will be trouble in the future. After all, the truth that you don't need a knife to kill chickens is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the person who sent Shangguan Yi to deliver the letter still chose Shangguan Yi to deliver it, how troublesome it is, she has a hunch.
"Send a message... Is there anything difficult about it? Could it be that both of them are legendary road idiots and can't find the way?" the little monk muttered in his heart, not quite understanding why the two were worried, but he didn't ask.
Listen more, see more, think more, try to understand our thinking before the end of the matter, you can put forward different opinions, and ask if you don't understand afterwards.
This is also Shangguan Yi's teaching, and the little monk also remembers it.
His strength is that he remembers very well what the people he wants to trust and will do what he says. It used to be like this for Master, but now it's for Shangguan Yi.
Two days passed, and the two days were uneventful, no one disturbed their team, and no sentry dared to obstruct them too much, and they were released after a little inspection.
Don't blame them for dereliction of duty, it can only be said that they can't afford to provoke Jun Yishen, and their boss can't afford to provoke them, if Jun Yishen is angry, even if Jun Yishen doesn't say anything or do anything on the surface, someone will definitely pay the same price as blood for this, as an explanation for making him angry. Even if everyone knows that big people don't get angry simply and casually, the fear they should have cannot be eliminated.
Jun Yishen is used to such a scene, and his attendants are also used to it, in this era, equality between people has never been realized, and Jun Yishen's attendants are to be one level higher than other people's attendants.
That's why they were so surprised when they entered a big city, Hanchang.
They entered Hanchang at noon, and like the sentry in front, the non-commissioned officer guarding the gate saw the token handed by the attendant and the words on the paperwork, his hands trembled, and he directly asked people to open the city gate and let them in.
Jun Yishen and the others sat in the carriage and looked at the soldiers outside the city gate, in fact, they were a little puzzled, after all, this number actually represented the martial law in Hanchang, just like the martial law in Jiangnan City, but it was not so serious, but it was a little more serious than usual. But he didn't plan to care, he had too many things, it was better to rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible, and Hanchang's affairs would be handed over to Hanchang's town guards, and at most, he would send a document to ask about the situation.
But when they walked some way into the city, a strange situation happened:
Countless people stopped their convoy, even if the attendants dismounted and drove them away, and even more and more, making it difficult for the convoy to move an inch. This situation was even worse after those who had some vision and information guessed that this was Jun Yishen's team, and the convoy was surrounded by layers of crowds, and it was no longer possible to move forward half an inch. All the attendants dismounted to protect the carriage and prevent people from rushing this way.
"What's the situation?" Jun Yishen asked in the carriage, he originally thought that he was just passing by the lively street, and he couldn't walk for a while, and the attendants would deal with it, but he didn't expect that the other party's target seemed to be him from the beginning, so purposefully guiding the crowd to surround the carriage was too anxious, right?
When the attendant was about to answer, he heard the sound of "puff puff" one after another, and the people knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please save his life." "He's right. "He doesn't deserve to die. "Wait, it's extremely chaotic.
"Huh. After Shangguan Yi heard these words in the carriage behind, he had some answers in his heart, I'm afraid that there was no problem in another case, right?
"You wait here, don't show your head, I'll go out and deal with it. Shangguan Yi gave them an order and walked out of the carriage himself.
When he came out, Yue Zhengdao also came out, after the two glanced at each other, Shangguan Yi made a gesture of please, Yue Zhengdao smiled helplessly, stretched out his hands, and made a pause gesture in his palms to silence them.
In fact, the two of them came out, just to tell Jun Yishen about the facts, they are two pure tool people. As for why Jun Yishen didn't come out, the main reason was that the three of them were afraid, afraid that something would happen to Jun Yishen.
Now that he knows that the other party is targeting Jun Yishen and still asks him to come forward, isn't it a fool? If the other party also has a killing weapon similar to the Red Shadow Golden Post in his hand, the probability of Jun Yishen surviving is really not high.
When the crowd gradually quieted down, Yue Zhengdao casually ordered someone to ask about the cause and effect, that is, why they stopped them, what they were asking for when they knelt down, and Shangguan Yi was also beside him, asking for some details.
Because the two of them were dressed very extraordinarily, they didn't look like some kind of guards, and they both came out of the carriage, very much like some kind of high-ranking official, plus Yue Zhengdao said that he would give feedback to the adults, so these people also answered these questions obediently, of course, the answer was what they knew, and no one could answer what they didn't know.
In fact, the ins and outs of the matter are also very simple, and the reason why the carriage was stopped was because the situation when Jun Yishen and his party entered Hanchang fell into the eyes of people with a heart.
How many people are there who can make the city gate guards dare not check, and how many people are there who are directly released after reading the document token? These people all hold the supreme authority of the East China Sea, guarding one side or living in Kyoto for a long time, and the only one who may come to Hanchang may be Jun Yishen, this elimination method is not difficult to do, and some people guess and do not surprise Jun Yishen. To his surprise, these well-intentioned people passed the news to the common people, which led to the accident.
What these ordinary people want is justice.
Thousands of people, ten thousand people bowed to the ground, for just one justice.
Hell is empty, the devil is in the world, they have no choice, even if they know that it may be the protection of officials and officials, they can only ask for the king's mercy, just for that chance to get justice.
Many years ago, there was a great benevolent man Chen Shi in Hanchang, with a rich family, a wife and a son, who was good at doing good deeds, and was the kind of person who would help when he encountered injustice, and would contribute money and efforts to disaster relief in drought years and disasters, and was like a living Bodhisattva to ordinary people.
But the flowers bloomed twice, one for each branch, and they gained fame and misfortune for it.
Chen Shi, a great benevolent man, was murdered and died in prison, and all his family property was ostensibly confiscated, but in fact went into someone else's small treasury. The wife originally planned to take her son back to her parents' house after the wake for her husband, because Han Chang couldn't tolerate the mother and son! Unfortunately, the thief didn't plan to let her go, because she was a little beautiful, so...
In the end, the mother was also forced to die in the mourning hall with chastity, and her son was gone, and no one has seen him since that day.
What a grievance and resentment this is! Anyone who has a conscience is not angry, and the appeal to the government in the blood of 10,000 people is rejected, and it is useless to go to the capital to appeal, and the officials protect each other, and the petition cannot be sent to the emperor, even if an official is finally found to personally expose the matter in front of the emperor, it is also said that Chen Shi smuggled and made a fortune, and the government has verified it, so that this series of things has happened.
Things have been distorted into a different shape, and most people support the sophistry theory, including the red people in front of the emperor, and they have also produced forged evidence, and it is needless to say what the result is.
The kind-hearted official was also demoted, and later had an accident and died, as for what happened, there is no need to say clearly.
The matter was suppressed in this way, and the people who had received the favor of Chen Shi's family were angry, but they could only be incompetent and angry.
Later, the East China Sea changed, and everyone looked a little too busy to take care of themselves, and this matter was slowly suppressed, but there was a new accident recently:
The bullies who bullied Chen Shi's family were killed, and the methods were quite cruel, at first the city was full of panic, no one thought about it, after all, it was an old bad debt, only knew that people were constantly dying, and there was no law, but then after the truth surfaced, everyone just wanted to clap their hands.
The murderer believes you have also guessed, it is Chen Dao, the son of Chen Shi who disappeared back then, he didn't know how to escape with his life, and where he learned his skills to complete such an earth-shattering reversal of the big case.
God won't do me justice, I'll take it myself!
This incident caused a sensation in Hanchang again, but the surprise is still to come...... After Chen Dao killed those people, he turned himself in, calmly, without half concealing it, how he killed, when and why he killed them, he explained them properly, and he didn't hide them at all.
Except for the fact that he turned himself in, many people were not very satisfied, and no one felt that what he did was wrong, after all, he did not kill innocents indiscriminately, but only aimed at his own enemies, sinners full of evil!
But the government, which is one of the parties to the verdict, is naturally dissatisfied, and they think that since you are going to die, it is better to carry the previous pot together, and everyone will be better.
Yes, they sentenced Chen Dao to death because murder pays for life.
They think that Chen Dao deserves to die, and they have cut off their financial route; they want Chen Shi's case to be completely brought to an end, and there is no possibility of overturning the case;
Would Chen Dao be willing?
Of course not!
He didn't know how many good deeds his father had done in his life, and he had never done anything sinful or smuggling? How could this charge be placed on his father's head? If he continued to do so with this stroke, his father's life's work was like a river flowing eastward, nothing happened, and all that was left was infamy, and those who ran for their family, those who died, had no meaning, could he do this?
He can't!
He is going to die, how can he stab his father and other righteous people again?
Chen Dao is unwilling, so he will be beaten into a trick, the old routine of the government.
But Chen Dao is worthy of being the man who single-handedly brought the terrifying shadow to the entire Hanchang, and he did not give in in the end.
The government was also annoyed, and directly decided to behead at noon today, anyway, no one can turn over the old case, even if there is a criticism to do this kind of thing, it may not be able to break the sky, there are people above, don't panic.
For the people, this is the second time that such a thing happened once many years ago, and they still have nothing to do but pray for help and for God's justice.
They really can't help it.
They think that Chen Dao is right, if killing people pays for their lives, why, those who are full of evil do not die? If not, why did Chen Dao die, why did he suffer such unfair treatment!
After listening to their words, looking at the tearful appearance of the person who told the story and shouting for justice, Shangguan Yi and Yue Zhengdao were silent.
This??
Probably, power, right?
The two of them can't make any decisions about this matter, and the two of them are also wage earners.
