When night fell, the generals in the army brought food, and after Feng Mu and Xiao Que'er had eaten, they wandered around the yard together.

They heard the soldiers in the courtyard talking about the ten card law, the so-called "ten card law", that is, the armor sits, ten families as a unit, every day to take turns patrolling, if something happens, everyone will be punished together.

Among these people, this was praised and said that this policy was implemented, so that the bandits had nothing to hide, and those who had benefited from it no longer dared to shield the bandits.

Feng Mu listened to it in his ears and benefited a lot in his heart. He realized from this that the lesser of the two harms, when there is a contradiction between interests and life, anyone will choose to save their lives.

A middle-aged man who looked like a master book walked out, and Feng Mu stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the honorable elder, when will Lord Wang come back?"

"If he is busy with official business, Lord Wang will stay in Yamen, and if it is so late, he may not come back tonight. ”

As soon as Feng Mu heard that Wang Shouren might not come back, wouldn't the matter of apprenticeship be delayed?

"What are you looking for Lord Wang? Your Excellency has no time to pay attention to you. ”

The master bookkeeper walked out as he spoke, but Feng Mu followed closely behind him, and he expected that the master bookkeeper should have something to report to Wang Shouren, so he followed.

Can't stand Feng Mu's stubborn fighting, the master didn't blame too much, and acquiesced to Feng Mu's behavior, Xiao Qi'er also wanted to go with him, Feng Mu persuaded her softly, let her have a good rest, these days have really suffered a lot, he will come back soon.

The little finch did not insist any longer, walked back to the room alone, and after taking a bath, fell asleep in bed.

When he came to the yamen, Wang Shouren was still explaining the matter, and the master and Feng Mu were standing outside the door, not daring to rush in and disturb. I saw Wang Shouren talking and gesturing, Feng Mu did not eavesdrop on what he said. Every time Wang Shouren said a word, his lieutenant nodded once, and after he finished speaking, the lieutenant general clenched his fists, said a word of command, and hurried outside.

The main book walked into the inner hall, Feng Mu stood respectfully outside the door, Wang Shouren looked at him, beckoned to him, and motioned for him to go in.

"My lord, after my sorting out these days, there are indeed some people on the case file who have been recruited by the imperial court, and then turned against the water again. The names of these people are written on this booklet, please read them. ”

Wang Shouren took the pamphlet, read it carefully from front to back, memorized the number of people, and then called out to the general, asking him to lead the soldiers to arrest all these people on the list, and execute them at noon tomorrow to set an example.

The chief bookkeeper asked with some concern: "My lord, the killing is ominous, lest it provoke a rebellion." ”

Wang Shouren said flatly: "I have my own measure in this matter, these people don't really accept the court's recruitment, and it will be a disaster to keep them, and when the time comes, they will bite back, and it will be you and me who will fall to the ground." ”

After the master went back, Feng Mu was still standing aside, Wang Shouren looked at Feng Mu, and asked aloud, "What are you doing here?"

"I want my lord to teach me the supreme method, only in this way can I improve my cultivation. ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Who did you hear that I understand the Supreme Mind Method? Since you want to learn, then let me ask you, why have you learned all this?"

"A man stands up to the sky, assists in the society, and dawns in the bottom, this is the purpose of practicing martial arts, and it is also the criterion for dealing with people. ”

Feng Mu said, Wang Shouren nodded slightly, and said, "Who taught you these words?"

His question made Feng Mu a little embarrassed, because Grandpa Xu had explained that he couldn't mention to Wang Shouren that he was his heir, and what was the mystery in it, but the old man didn't say a word.

"The boy had studied in a private school for a few years, and every time my husband would tell us to cultivate ourselves and rule the country and the world, and then I met Xie Ge Lao, and his words and deeds taught me a lot. ”

Listening to Feng Mu's words, Wang Shouren said lightly: "I can't see that you are so calm at such a young age, and you don't blush and heartbeat at all when you tell lies, this concentration is really unusual." ”

Feng Mu was stunned for a moment, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, he thought that a set of rhetoric that had no loopholes was so easily debunked, and he had mixed feelings at the moment, how should this be good? If Lord Wang was angry with himself, he would definitely not accept himself as a disciple again, let alone teach him the method of his mind.

He was panicked and remorseful at the moment, he should never lie in front of this wise sage again, it seems that the apprenticeship was completely failed.

"Xiao Ke really has a last resort, please forgive me. Feng Mu said, hurriedly knelt down, Wang Shouren stopped him, and said: "That's it, you don't want to say that it's inconvenient for me to ask more, since you want to learn wholeheartedly, I'll teach you." ”

Feng Mu was overjoyed, this result was something he never dreamed of, and he was about to bow to his teacher, but Wang Shouren still stopped him and said: "No need, you and I don't have the name of master and apprentice, I will teach you what I have learned, just as a meeting gift at first sight." ”

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Feng Mu bowed and saluted, and Wang Shouren arranged for a guard to send Feng Mu back, saying that he still had something to deal with, and Feng Mu followed the guards.

After Feng Mu left, a white-haired old man came out of the yamen and said to Wang Shouren: "This son is probably the heir of Zhao San, what is his intention in letting this child come to you, isn't he afraid that you will completely cut the grass and eradicate the roots?"

Wang Shouren smiled and said leisurely: "He's gambling, betting that I can't bear to pull out this good seedling, he still won in the end." ”

The white-haired old man said with a sad face: "I really don't understand you, since you are a sympathetic confidant, why do you want to die?"

"Sometimes the enemy is more reassuring to entrust, and it is better to be a mortal enemy who takes care of each other than a friend who hides a knife in his smile. ”

The white-haired old man looked at Wang Shouren, sighed, looked at the already dark sky outside, and asked, "With this practice, the bandits should have subsided." ”

Wang Shouren took two steps and walked to the door, the night wind blowing his hair. A trace of vicissitudes appeared on his face, and he said in a low tone: "It is easy to break the mountain and the thief is difficult, but it is difficult to break the heart." As long as there is greed in people's hearts, the troubles in this world will never be quelled. This is also the reason why I have admired the way of the sages for many years and taught the science of the mind, and I only hope that the people in this world can clear the turbidity and be clear as soon as possible. ”

There is no good and no disgusting body, and there are good and malicious movements. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing.

This is Wang Shouren's four tips of mental learning, pay attention to the unity of knowledge and action, but unfortunately there are many people who know, but very few people really understand, even if it is a person like Hai Rui who has left a strong mark in history, he has not been able to read it.

However, Hai Rui is still only a three-year-old child, where does he understand so much, for him, now he only needs to rely on instinct to live.

And Feng Mu has already arrived at Wang Shouren's side, can he understand?
