Chapter XXVIII
"This..."Xie Yu looked at Xu Xiaozhang in the distance, Rao thought that he had seen the wind and waves, and he couldn't help but knot his tongue. "You... Kill them all?"
"yes. Xu Xiaozhang walked towards him slowly, as if killing people like slaughtering pigs and dogs, without the slightest compassion.
Xie Yu couldn't help but take a step back.
Di Xing also carried Jin Gong out of the door, and she planned to leave here while the two of them were fighting with those bandits, as Xie Yu said.
As soon as she went out, she stayed there too.
For a while, when did the pampered prince of Jin ever see such a scene?
Da Xing's whole body trembled, and he sat on the ground in fright, and spit it out.
Jin Gong also slipped off her shoulders and fell to the ground on her side.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaozhang looked at Dian Xing who was spitting with an inexplicable expression. "Why did you throw up?"
After speaking, he looked back at the scene behind him, smiled and sneered: "It seems that our noble children are frightened." ”
"You... Aren't you afraid that the gods will punish you for doing this?" Condemnation on his face.
"Heavenly God?" Xu Xiaozhang wanted to laugh a little, and the disdain in his eyes was even worse. "What are you talking about? What do you think they're here for... They're here to kill you... Can your mercy be applied to your enemies?"
"But—" Dian Xing retorted, holding up the gold tribute on the ground. "Your disrespectful behavior towards life... What is the difference with these bandits? If all the people in the world are like you... Where is the royal law, where is the righteousness, where is the ritual law... Xie Shizi... Do you say?"
Xie Yu didn't speak, just looked at the blood flowing all over the ground and fell into deep thought.
He didn't get a response from Xie Yu... My heart began to feel uneasy.
"Hahaha. Xu Xiaozhang was obviously amused by Dian Xing's slightly childish remarks. "The royal law, the righteousness, the etiquette law?"
"You obviously don't understand the cruelty of this world. Xu Xiaozhang walked to Xie Yu's side, found a clean place and sat down directly, blood flowing through his brown clothes stuck to this place that had not been stained with blood.
"yes... The law of kings, righteousness, and etiquette. It is most preached by you nobles... You use these things to rule the world, you use these things to regulate people's behavior, yes, yes, this world needs the royal law, the righteousness, the etiquette... But it is by no means the law of the king of the nobility, the righteousness of the nobility, and the etiquette of the nobility. You don't even know what this world is like?" Xu Xiaozhang didn't stop. Go on. "If it weren't for me today, Xu Xiaozhang... Thy manners, thy righteousness, and thy royal law, with whom do you go?
Xu Xiaozhang pointed to the stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and asked Dashing Xingdao loudly.
"Impossible... Nanxia will never be a murderer like you. Dash Xing argued. "Admittedly, today without you... I may die, but that's not a reason for you to kill and whip corpses. ”
"The existence of the law of etiquette, the law of the king, and the righteousness is what the people of the world look forward to and are willing to abide by... It's not like you're talking about being a tool for the rule of the world. Qi Xing looked at Xu Xiaozhang and said loudly. "I once inspected the feudal towns with my father, and it is precisely because of the protection and restraint of the royal law and the ritual law that people can be harmonious with each other, neighbors can be friendly, and relatives can not fight for a few stones of wealth. The world has these in order to be stable... And our clan is just a person who practices the righteousness for the royal law and the ritual law! And what you are doing now is to destroy this ritual law and the royal law!"
Xu Xiaozhang was stunned and laughed again.
"Practice righteousness?" Xu Xiaozhang asked rhetorically. "I don't know how you came to such a conclusion, in my eyes, nobles are maggots in this world, constantly eating away at the blood and sweat of people in the world!"
"In my eyes, more than half of the rice and grain that ordinary people get from months of hard work have to be handed over to the family... Before that, they had to endure the exploitation of the officials, and in the end they could only eat 10% of the rice grain. Xu Xiaozhang shouted loudly. "This is not counting natural and man-made disasters! Is there still a small occurrence of the children of nobles oppressing the people? Is there still a small number of cases of officials exploiting the people? These royal laws, ritual laws, and great righteousness that you keep talking about? Which nobles have obeyed them? Which nobles have been punished by the gods? Isn't the royal law of this world given to the common people by your nobles?"
"Besides, when did you nobles care about people's lives and deaths like you? In your eyes, aren't untouchables slaughtered like pigs and dogs?"
"You..."Dian Xing couldn't help but be annoyed by Xu Xiaozhang in his heart, but no matter what he said, Dian Xing just couldn't refute it... Such as a fish in the throat.
Yes, as Xu Xiaozhang said, she also knows the things about officials bullying the people and the big families exploiting the common people.
"They hijack people, extort money, and want to kill people... Why can't I kill him?" Xu Xiaozhang saw that Da Xing did not say anything to refute, and lowered his voice. "All I do is to get rid of evil. ”
"No..." Xie Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth and interrupted the conversation between the two. "You're violating the ban by force. ”
"Oh?" Xu Xiaozhang turned his head and looked at Xie Yu with interest.
"Son... My teacher once told us a story. Xie Yu also looked at Xu Xiaozhang. "There is a hero named Guo Xie in Luoyi... When he was young, he relied on bravery, fought with others, formed gangs, and violated laws and disciplines. He killed many people for the so-called elimination of evil, including husbands, fishermen, merchants... He's killed too many people... Later, when he was old and couldn't kill, he began to collect money and shield many heroes who committed crimes in the name of righteousness... Those who benefited from him began to sing the praises of his deeds, and those who wanted to benefit from him boasted even more for him. ”
As time passed, his fame grew, his virtues became more and more known, and those who did not know what he was in the first place began to admire him. Countless young rangers heard about his deeds and were even willing to die for him. So much so that later... He killed a man with whom he had a grudge... This man is a notoriously good man, he never commits crimes, obeys the law, and does not transgress the rules. But he happened to offend Guo Xie one day... So Guo Xie killed him... Then, the government arrested Guo Xie and released him from prison. Countless people petitioned for Guo Jie, and countless people flocked to the door of Gyeonggi Province to avenge Guo Jie's grievances, which led to the fact that Gyeonggi Province did not handle official affairs in a stable manner for three months, and bandits were rampant in the entire Nagi jurisdiction due to lax governance... This incident even alarmed Tong Hou... Tong Hou was originally born as a hero, and after hearing about Guo Jie's righteousness, he personally went to the Son of Heaven Hall to ask for Guo Jie's pardon..."
"You say... Is this Guo Xie damned?" Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Xiaozhang seriously.
"This..."Xu Xiaozhang was speechless.
