Chapter 97: What is right and what is wrong, buying people's hearts

"Am I wrong?"

"Am I right?"

In a guest room in Yuanjiazhuang, Lin Tian sat at the table, watching the candle flame flickering, a little distracted.

Han Xiaoying was killed by him, he said: "This is what you were raped by Ouyang Ke, and then you couldn't think about it, and you committed suicide, it's none of my business!"

He seriously injured Guo Jing and snatched away the secret book of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending, he said: "This is your own stupidity, and your martial arts are not good!"

On the rivers and lakes, tens of thousands of outlaws were bewitched by the rumors he spread, causing blood to be splashed on Nanshan Mountain, thousands of people were killed in Huangquan, and the vitality of the Quanzhen Sect was greatly damaged! He said: "This is because you yourself have been tempted by greed and have fallen to your own death, and you don't care about my business!"

Hong Qigong was seriously injured by him, and he said, "This is the price you paid for your own way!"

But in the face of those children and babies who were killed, what reason could he find?

They are ignorant and can't tell the difference between a silver ticket and a waste paper, and the young don't even know how to speak!

In the mountain of corpses, the image of the tragic death of a child and a baby appeared in his mind, those children's eyes were wide open, although their eyes were empty, but from their faces, there was no fear and fear, despair and resentment!

They are young and ignorant, and they don't even understand what death is!

Lin Tian's eyes showed self-blame, he knew in his heart that those children were innocent, or as Peng Lianhu said, keeping these children would become some kind of hidden danger in the future, but ...... Is there nothing they can do to let them never know the truth, so that they can live?

"Alas!~" he sighed softly.

There was two knocks on the door, and then someone pushed it open and walked in!

It was Li Mochou, except for her, no one dared to enter Lin Tian's room without his consent!

Li Mochou walked to Lin Tian and sat down, reached out and held his hand, her hand was soft and cool.

The corners of Lin Tian's mouth reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "Why are you here, don't you rest?"

Li Mochou said: "I saw that your face was a little wrong just now, come and take a look." ”

Lin Tiandao: "I'm fine. ”

Li Mochou smiled: "I know you, in front of me, why do you want to hide?"

Lin Tianxin said: "I don't even know myself!" stared at her for a while, suddenly pulled out the hand she was holding, put his arm around her thin waist, and then leaned on her shoulder, he closed his eyes, and whispered as if in a dream: "Mo Chou, am I a bad person?"

Li Mochou's delicate face was slightly red, Qianqian's thin waist was hugged by him, and the fiery aura wrapped around her, and said, "Anyway, you are not a good person." ”

Lin Tian smiled bitterly and said, "You say the same thing." ”

Li Mochou said, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Tiandao: "Those children...... The children of the Yuan family who were killed by us, they were dangling in front of my eyes, alas, alas! Do you think they deserve to die? Are they innocent?"

Li Mochou was silent.

Lin Tiandao: "Do you also think they are innocent? Do you also think that they don't deserve to die? But they are already dead, already dead, we killed them!"

Li Mochou said: "I don't know, I don't know, I only know that if it weren't for us, those eighteen equally innocent and equally unworthy children would have died!"

Lin Tiandao: "How can merit make up for mistakes?"

Li Mochou said: "Then what about the Yuan family that killed my family back then? Are the people who died in my family innocent? Shouldn't they die? But they are also dead! How can there be any innocent and innocent people in this world, and whether they should die or not!"

Lin Tian was stunned.

I heard Li Mochou say again: "Besides, are those children and babies of the Yuan family really innocent? They wear snacks from the Yuan family, they enjoy the blessings brought by the Yuan family, and of course they have to bear the bad luck brought by the Yuan family! If there is a mistake, then blame them for being born in the Yuan family, this is the fault of fate!"

Li Mochou is Li Mochou after all, although she also has a gentle and loving side, but she also has a ruthless side - although her side is not as good as described in the original book, because of the frustration in the love scene, she will kill all the people on the boat because of a name!

Lin Tian's heart trembled, the most poisonous woman's heart, and said secretly: "Is it really good for me to provoke her?"

*

There is water and food in the village, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and a huge Yuanjiazhuang has been taken over by Lin Tian and a few others!

After dawn, after breakfast as usual, thousands of people gathered in the square in front of the Neizhuang Hall again!

The mountain of corpses of more than 100 people has been cleaned up, and the bloodstains have been washed away!

The people of the Yuan family are really filial, and they originally wanted to use eighteen children for the funeral, but now, they are going to accompany the funeral themselves!

Sha Tongtian was so tired, he was busy all night, and when he came back early in the morning, he took people and dug big pits on both sides of Yuan Shusheng's grave and buried those corpses!

Lin Tian was accustomed to believing in the mercenary view, and after saying a few words to everyone, he announced the distribution of silver, ranging from 100 taels, 80 taels, 50 taels, 30 taels, etc., and the least got 10 taels!

He wanted to buy people's hearts with this, but he didn't discuss it with Peng Lianhu and the others, and after they were slightly stunned, they also understood, and without saying much, Lin Tian asked Lu Guanying to do this with Zhao Bin, the big account room!

After a while, they led a group of people, led ox carts, and carried several large boxes to the square!

The wooden box was unloaded and opened, and it was full of silver!

The snowflake silver of the white flowers is presented in front of everyone, which is really shocking!

There are several boxes, how can there be hundreds of thousands of taels!

Although Yuanjiazhuang has a lot of silver, it is the savings accumulated in the past hundred years!

Lin Tian looked at those shining silvers, his heart was also beating secretly, and the wealth was moving, this is indeed true!

"Let's start!" Lin Tian said with a wave of his hand.

Zhao Bin was quite active, took out a roster, and read it, every time he read three people, the person who read the name came forward, and Lu Guanying instructed someone to take the silver and distribute it!

All those who received the money were frightened and happy.

Lin Tian watched it for a while, then called Peng Lianhu and others, and Lu Guanying also handed over the matter to a big boss of the nursing home, who had just received 100 taels!

The group returned to the hall.

Lin Tian instructed them to break up and redistribute the more than 400 nursing homes, Lu Guanying selected 200 people from them to enter Lingyun Hall, and the rest was divided by Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian, and Liang Ziweng, and told them to guard Zhuangzi in case there was a change! Now that they have a territory, they were instructed to call the brothers on the mountain down!

Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu were very happy to hear this, and they finally had a place to settle down, which was much better than being outlaws in the mountains! They also asked Lu Guanying to send a letter and call more than 100 brothers who had been placed in Jinzhongdu.

After Lin Tian discussed with them for a while, he called the stewards and account offices of Yuanjiazhuang in, said a few words of comfort, and then asked them to sit down and ask about the assets of the Yuan family!

The Yuan family has been operating for a hundred years, and its power has covered nine counties in the central and western parts of the country, and the large and small landlords in villages and towns around the country are all looking forward to it;

But the Yuan family doesn't actually own so much land (land ownership)!

It turned out that when the Jurchens invaded the south, they wantonly killed the Han people, seized the land, and then distributed the land to the Jurchens, collecting very little tax, and the Jurchens themselves did not produce, and subleased the land to the Han people, and after the Han people leased the land, they annexed each other (leased rights), and the Yuan family was actually a big hero born in the annexation!

It also operates the largest winery and cloth village in Guanzhong, produces and uses itself, and also opens stores in various places and sells them to the outside world, with a very rich income;

What made Lin Tian even more interested was that the Yuan family also opened a money shop, and there were semicolons in all cities in Guanzhong!

The big shopkeeper of this money shop is the younger brother of Yuan An, the original housekeeper of Yuanjiazhuang, named Yuan Tai!

Yuan An is the confidant of the Yuan family, and if he does not obey Peng Lianhu's control, he has been killed!

"Yuan Tai?" Lin Tian frowned, pondered for a while, and said: "From today onwards, Yuan Jiazhuang is allowed to enter and exit! If you go out, you need my consent and hold the permission paper!"

"Another ,......" he looked at a steward, whose name was Xiao Liang, "Steward Xiao, you immediately write a letter and ask all the stewards from all over the world to come back, saying that Old Lady Yuan has passed away, and they must also come back to worship." ”

It turned out that after Yuan Shu's death and death, the people who came to worship were all figures with heads and faces, although these stewards were also superficial in the place, but after all, they were only the descendants of Yuanjiazhuang - high-level subordinates, and they were not qualified to come back to worship before.

"Yes. Xiao Liang respectfully accepted the order, got things to do, he actually had a sense of satisfaction that was valued, he saw that Lin Tian was young, he could control Peng Lianhu and other fierce people, he was afraid in his heart, but he couldn't help but admire!

His brows furrowed, and Xiao Liang said hesitantly, "Help...... Helper, the little one doesn't know what to say or not. ”

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, cautious appearance, Lin Tian smiled and said, "Steward Xiao, if you say anything, the speaker is not guilty." ”

Seeing that he looked kind, Xiao Liang became a little bolder, and said with a frown: "Helper, you, oh, no, it's us! We kill people and occupy people's property, if the government knows about it......"

Lin Tian laughed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Manager Xiao, the government is not worried!"

Lin Tian showed favor to Yan Honglie and helped him do things, shouldn't he give him something in return? A gentleman doesn't want to repay his kindness, but Lin Tian is obviously not a gentleman!

Besides, if you don't take the initiative to provoke the government, it's not bad, if you come to mess with me, I'm afraid you won't succeed?

*

Within seven days, more than 3,000 people in Yuanjiazhuang ate and lived in the village! Managers of shops and shops from all over the country came one after another, and then they were placed under house arrest, and finally reported each other, who was the henchman of the Yuan family, was reported out, dismissed from his post, and replaced by a relatively reliable convert!

In the evening of that day, the dismissed people were tied with ropes and pulled to the front of the hall, some of them were loyal to the Yuan family, and their integrity was commendable, and they were still cursing, some of them were already frightened, and some of them were even frightened!

These people never thought that they received a letter from the master's family, saying that they asked him to come back to worship the old lady, and they originally felt quite honored, but they knew that as soon as they entered the Zhuangzi, they were arrested!

The newcomers, who had just been appointed, were also in front of the hall, and they watched in horror, and their hearts were afraid of what was about to happen!

"Kill!" Peng Lianhu ordered after a while!

Suddenly, twenty fierce men with spears stepped forward and wanted to assassinate them!

"Slow!" In the hall, a person suddenly broke out, but it was Sun Pang, who saw his fat ball-like body "rolling" to Peng Lianhu's side, and shouted: "The gang leader has an order, those who are loyal and disobedient will be killed, and the rest can be exempted from capital crimes!"

[Note:]

1. During the Jin Dynasty, slavery was revived, and the custom of slaves and maids accompanying them for burial was more common among the Jurchen aristocracy, and most of the slaves and maids were Han Chinese.

2. The land policy of the Jin Dynasty is roughly as described in the text (the Jurchens seize the land and the tax burden is very low), but there are also some interpretations in the text (the Jurchens sublease the land, and the Han people lease and compete for the right to lease).
