Chapter 18: Be a Good Man
Unexpectedly, the Xia family collapsed, and Xia Zhen actually played such a role.
Looking at the old man in front of him, he is at least in his sixties, but he is still intriguing and calculating for power.
Xue Dong said that he didn't want to kill anyone, too many people died some time ago, and all the people in the small world were brought in by the ancestors of the Xia family, and he didn't want to kill Emperor Dehui and kill so many civil and military officials.
As long as Emperor Dehui doesn't go perverse and doesn't harm the people, his head can grow well on his head.
At the same time, he asked Emperor Dehui to revoke the "Ban on Martial Arts" and return the people to a normal life, as long as Emperor Dehui can agree, he can also guarantee that he will be Emperor Dehui for a lifetime without worry, and try not to disturb him in the future.
If he is a good emperor, he can also give him the way to enter and exit the small world, he won the throne and got a few stone-like tokens, but he doesn't know how to use it, let alone where the entrance and exit of the small world are.
The Great Elder was overjoyed, and immediately said that he would be obedient and treat the people well, and that he would announce the abolition of the "Ban on Force" tomorrow morning.
In the end, he took the initiative to hand over all the Xia family's martial arts secrets that he had put away, as well as various treasures, saying that he wanted to return them to their original owners, so as not to let these treasures follow his pearl to dust.
Xue Dong didn't ask for those large things, and there was a box with a dozen shiny pearls in it that caught his attention, and the color was even more beautiful than those embedded in the room.
He knew that this kind of pearl that could shine was a rare treasure outside, and just one pearl was several times higher than his current net worth, not to mention that there were more than a dozen of them here.
There was also a long box containing a ginseng, which was almost formed, Xue Dong could sense that it contained a large amount of spiritual power, and he naturally smiled, in his opinion, the value of ginseng was higher than the more than a dozen pearls that could shine.
He knew that the old guy had been here for a few months, and he must have gotten a lot of treasures, but he didn't care, the palace would be back in the future.
Sending Xue Dong out of his own place, he saw him easily jump on the roof and disappear in the blink of an eye. Let him doubt that he really met that murderous and ruthless Xia Zhen tonight? However, there is nothing to doubt about this, except for him, only Xia Zhen knows here.
Watching Xue Dong leave, the ghost-like speed stunned him, he knew that it would be difficult for anyone to kill this man after he failed to kill him last time, at least he couldn't, at least not the people from Tianwumen.
What made him even happier was that Xue Dong told him that the relics of Tianwumen were still gathering outside, but let him not worry, he would help eliminate the relics of Tianwumen, and he just needed to be the emperor. Is there anything better in the world than this?
In just a few hours, the mood of this Emperor Dehui can be described as a big ups and downs, from great sorrow to great joy, and he sighed again and again that happiness came too suddenly.
Xue Dong, who returned to the guest room, was also in a good mood, and after getting the secrets of the Xia family, his martial arts dream was more complete, he wanted to practice all these secrets, and he also wanted to become a person like a martial saint.
Early the next morning, there were soldiers in the square who put up a notice, and Xue Dong also gathered around to see it, and it turned out that the notice not only announced the abolition of the "ban on martial arts", but also the reduction of taxes, so that ordinary peasant households no longer had to pay taxes, and only more than 10 acres of landlords paid taxes.
It seems that everything has returned to the previous time when the Xia family ruled, and the people watching the proclamation were boiling, and everyone celebrated with their crowns, and then they saw dozens of fast horses galloping out of the national capital, and the soldiers on each horse held a proclamation in their hands, which seemed to be about to post the proclamation to various places.
And after the end of the early dynasty, there was a person in the palace who was dragged out by several soldiers, and the man shouted while struggling, "Your Majesty, the ministers are all for the sake of the royal inheritance!" Your Majesty ......" However, no one paid attention to him, and he was directly guillotined by the soldiers.
A eunuch took out a holy decree and first shouted to the crowd: "The holy decree is about to be read below, but the holy lord has specially explained that there is no need to kneel to receive the decree today." It's good to be on your feet. ”
The eunuch read out to the audience: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: Yan Bi, the treasurer of the household department, tried his best to prevent me from giving and reducing taxes in the early dynasty, and did not forgive the people, but persuaded me to increase taxes, wanting to put the people in trouble, and even claimed that it was for my eternal inheritance...... , it is really a heinous crime, and it is now beheaded. ”
Xue Dong didn't look any further, he didn't like to see killing, even though this treasurer should be damned.
He knew that this was the Great Elder showing his loyalty to him, and he could see that the eunuch had read the decree but let everyone kneel freely, which made him really unable to find fault with it.
He came to the small world, although he failed to avenge the Xia family, most of the Xia family's enemies played themselves to death, which is also a good thing.
Besides, he didn't swear to avenge the Xia family, he didn't be blinded by the powerful power, and he didn't want to control the small world with strong power, it was all Xia Zhen's self-righteous thoughts.
Instead, he saved countless ordinary families. If the Great Elder is killed, many more people will die. If the remnants of those assembled Tianwu Sect were in chaos and were touched by him, they would clean it up later, as for killing, Xue Dong had never thought about it.
There are two days left in the small world for three months, others are here, but the heart has already flown home, he left the national capital, and spent another day walking back to the town where he came, at this time, he knew that this town is called Xianhe Town, the people here were too miserable before, everywhere was a lifeless look, so that no one talked about the name of this town, and even the town monument was broken in the turmoil.
But today, when Xue Dong returned to the town, he saw several stonemasons chiseling a new town monument at the entrance of the town, and everyone's faces were beaming. The new policy of the national capital has been announced here, and there are praises of Emperor Dehui everywhere, saying that he is a Ming monarch.
After half a year of ups and downs, the people saw the light again, they were even happier than the New Year, when they ruled in the Xia family before, they didn't feel that when they went through the hellish life of the reign of Emperor Bijie, they once again ushered in the pro-people policy of Emperor Dehui.
They feel the beauty of life. Xue Dong saw someone scolding Tianwumen, and immediately someone came over to pat this person on the shoulder and remind him that Emperor Dehui was also a member of Tianwumen, and it was not Tianwumen who was wrong, but a part of Tianwumen.
Xue Dong didn't stay in Xianhe Town for long, when he passed by the tofu shop and saw that it was no longer open, thinking that the "Tofu Xi Shi" had already left, Xue Dong was relieved, he didn't want the person he had saved once to be killed again. Thinking of the beautiful girl lying on the bed, he still has a great touch in his heart.
He thought, when I was in elementary school, the teacher told us to learn to fight (harmony) Feng, and my act of saving people can be regarded as a "big fight"! He snuffed out the bad thoughts of the first brother in his heart, I am a fighter! I want to be a good person, I have to say that Xue Dong really has a bit of Ah Q.
He went back to the recess again, and everyone in the recess was actually there today, and the fast horse of the national capital passed the notice to the town yesterday, and the people in the recess all knew the news yesterday, and everyone did not go up the mountain today, and they gave themselves a day off, and the people in the recess gathered around and happily talked about the new emperor and the new policy. The laughter and laughter returned to everyone's side.
Looking at Xue Dong who appeared in front of everyone, Hu Qihan jumped up happily, "Brother, you're back! Aren't you going to come back in a month? It's only been three days and you're back!" Old man Liu patted Hu Qihan on the back, "Qihan, what are you talking about? Isn't it good for Xiao Xue to come back?" Zhu Tianqin, Liangshan and others also greeted warmly.
"Brother, do you know? Now that the new emperor has abolished the ban on martial arts, you don't have to hide and practice in the future" Hu Qihan was very happy, and his voice was a little louder than usual.
"I know, I'm coming back from the national capital" Xue Dong said in his heart, in fact, I was the first person to know about it.
Everyone didn't ask Xue Dong in detail why he went to the national capital, Xue Dong suddenly came to this recess, and a young man who suddenly appeared in the era of war and chaos must have some secrets of his own. turned to ask Xia Dong what kind of martial arts he would have.
Xue Dong opened his palm and beckoned to a stone in the distance, and the stone flew into his hand, and with a grip of his five fingers, the stone shattered into powder and fell from his fingers, which shocked everyone. They couldn't close their mouths in shock.
Old man Liu is well-informed, "Xiao Xue, you have reached a high level of refining qi into the body, and taking things from the air is not something that ordinary people can do!"
