Why do people live?
I guess many people won't think about this problem.
A shepherd baby.
Question: "What are you doing with sheep?"
Answer: "Make money."
Question: "What are you doing to make money?"
Answer: "Marry a wife."
Question: "What are you doing to marry a wife?"
Answer: "Give birth to a baby."
Question: "What are you doing with a baby?"
Answer: "Grafting sheep!"
This is the answer given by the most ordinary people to the question of why they live.
Just like the people of Yingchuan, they don’t know why they are alive, nor do they know why natural disasters and man-made disasters come to their heads again and again, and then ruthlessly bully them, torture them, and destroy them. And they are like moths, pounced on the war and strife, and then turned into a wisp of blue smoke, without any trace.
Yingchuan, heavy fog.
In the hazy fog, a group of people walked out.
Although this group of people were wearing custom-made uniforms like soldiers, it was obvious that these were not considered soldiers, but were just similar to soldiers, or they were originally just people, and then they wore soldiers' costumes.
Moreover, the so-called military uniforms do not have armor like warriors, but just red and black battle robes. If you look closely, you can see some differences.
This is just a imitation of the big man's battle robe, and it is very different in terms of fabric or style.
The battle robe is imitated, and these "soldiers" are naturally imitated.
Of course, for ordinary people, they can't tell it.
『The Wangjia Village is ahead...』
"Let's go! Don't stop ahead!"
『Move faster!』
『…』
Noisy sounds sounded in the queue. Although the captain seemed to be tidying up the formation, there was no sign of neatness at all, and even became even more scattered due to the uneven roads.
In order to avoid the puddles on the mud road, some people opened their feet and jumped left and right, but instead slipped and fell down with a grunt, which immediately stained the yellow mud water on most of their bodies.
The farmer working outside Wangjiazhai couldn't help laughing when he saw this, as if he had seen a well-dressed gentleman stepping on the banana peel, but before they could wait for them to be happy for a long time, they found something was wrong...
The group rushed directly into the Wangjia Village on the hillside.
"What are these people... going to do?" A farmer in the field asked, lowering his hoe, leaning on his hands.
"I don't know..." answered in a daze.
Soon, the noise inside the village seemed to show some problems. The farmers working outside looked around and put down their issues and subconsciously followed them into the village.
The noisy sound gradually became louder, and then cried.
"It seems to be Wang Laosan's side..."
"Let's go! Let's go!"
When these farmers arrived, they saw this team of soldiers dragging Wang Laosan and tied Wang Laosan with ropes.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
『Dad! Woooo...Dad...』
『Children's father!』
A messy piece.
In the outer circle were a group of people from Wangjiazhai staring at her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"have no idea."
"Has you committed a crime?"
"have no idea."
"Then what do you know?"
"……have no idea."
The soldiers in the field shouted: "Scatter! They all disperse! What are they doing around them?"
"No, why are you trying to catch Wang Lao San?" In the crowd, someone finally asked.
"Stop meddling in other people's business!" The captain glared, "The superior ordered to arrest him!"
"Why did the superior catch him?" someone asked again.
"How do I know? This is the boss who wants to catch it! It's not me who wants to catch it!" The captain was impatient and pointed his finger at the place where the sound made in the crowd, "Do you want to be arrested together? Hum?! Trying to resist the order and refuse to obey? Hum!"
『…』The crowd fell silent.
Anyway, I'm not here to catch me...
Or, fortunately, I wasn't arrested...
Seeing that everyone stopped speaking, the captain became more and more arrogant. He widened his eyes and shouted fiercely: "Get out of the way! If you don't let go, you will be arrested together! Don't block the way! Those who block the way will also be arrested together according to the order of disobedience!"
The timid people shrank aside when they heard the sound. Even if these people were not standing in the road, then the people standing in the road could not stand any longer when they saw that the surroundings were thin, and they also retreated to the side.
The captain waved his arm arrogantly and threatened the people behind him, "Everyone is honest! You don't have any good results in disobeying the order! Let's take it away!"
A group of soldiers dragged Wang Laosan out.
Wang Laosan was tied up with a rag on his mouth, and was staggeringly pulled by a rope, pulling behind the queue.
After walking through the ridges of the fields, the dirt roads, the official roads, and then we arrived at a small inn.
The captain proudly stepped forward and handed over the order. "Chief, Master, we are arrested!"
"I know, bring the person up!" The head of the pavilion nodded, then stretched out his arms, lifted his sleeves, and shouted in front of Wang Laosan who was taken up, "Wang Laosan! Do you know if you have committed a crime?! Say! Who did you meet at the market the morning before yesterday? What did you say? Who did you tell me? Then you went there? To be honest, don't blame me for being punished!"
Wang Laosan hesitated.
"Oh..." The captain then realized and stepped forward to tear off the rag that was blocking Wang Laosan's mouth.
"Cough cough cough..." Because he had been blocked for too long, Wang Laosan coughed and gasped violently, curled up on the ground like a sheep being skinned, unable to even scream.
"Oh?" The head of the pavilion sneered, "You're still stubborn? Come on! Just hit ten whips first and then ask!"
The captain took the whip handed over by his subordinates with a grin.
He liked this part the most. When he saw a guy with no power to fight back wailing under his whip, he looked at the whip and was bloody and bloody. He became excited, feeling that his hand was not just a simple whip, but also something that made him unable to speak, but would make him as excited as if he had climbed into the sky...
"one!"
"ah……"
『Two!Three, Four, Haha…』
Wang Laosan rolled around in the place, trying to avoid it with the twist of his body, but where could he avoid it?
The place where the cowhide whip was sucked, it immediately became red and swollen, and the blood penetrated outward, dyeing the gray-yellow ground red.
"Stop! Stop!" The head of the pavilion reached out and shouted, then lowered his voice, "Didn't you say ten whips? Why are you going to fight all the time?"
"Uh..." The captain was stunned for a moment, "I couldn't help it... No, it was him who hid around. If he didn't hide, I wouldn't forget to count!"
"Okay, no one will do this!" The pavilion chief waved his hand and repeatedly asked the question he had just now.
Wang Laosan gasped violently, his nose and tears were covered in his face.
"Isn't honest?" the pavilion chief threatened, "Are you going to be beaten again?"
『No! No no…』 Wang Laosan shouted, 『I don’t know, I don’t know…』
"Don't know yet?" said the chief pavilion contemptuously, "I have received the order from the superior. Someone reported that you openly promoted disobedient words at the Wang family festival the day before yesterday and slandered Prime Minister Cao..."
『I have never been to the Wang Family Festival!』
"I didn't say you're going today, I mean you're going the day before yesterday..."
"I didn't go the day before yesterday! I didn't go yesterday!" Wang Laosan shouted, with a real expression, "I didn't go! I haven't gone out for more than ten days! I'm all in the fields! My family... No, the people in the village can testify! I'm all in the village! I haven't gone anywhere in the past ten days!"
The pavilion chief was stunned for a moment.
Something seems to be wrong in this situation.
Wang Laosan said so surely, it doesn’t seem like he is lying. After all, a witness is easy to find. If you say that you can see it in a village, you can testify, and the possibility of interceding in advance is not very high...
It can't help but be a little difficult to deal with.
"Have you been to the Wang Family Festival?" the pavilion chief asked again.
"I've never been there!" Wang Laosan kowtowed repeatedly, expressing his injustice, "I really haven't! If I tell a lie, let God hit me to death!"
The pavilion chief looked up at the sky.
The fog gradually dissipated and the sky was clear and transparent.
The pavilion leader waved to the captain, and then the two of them walked aside.
The pavilion chief lowered his voice, "I'll ask you, where did you catch the person?"
"Wang Family Village!"
"Hi! It's the Li family village!"
"ha?!"
"The order from the superior is the Li family village!"
"Li? Li's village?"
"Um."
"No, this, then what, why is it the Lijia Village? Wang Laosan of Lijia Village? Shouldn't Wang Laosan be in the Wangjia Village?"
"The order from the superiors is Lijia Village! How do I know why it is the third son of the Lijia Village!"
『…』X2
The captain and the pavilion leader secretly turned their heads and looked at Wang Laosan from the Wang family village on the other side. Then the two of them turned their heads at the same time and got together.
"Then what should I do with this...this?"
『…』 The pavilion chief was silent for a moment, 『What else can I do? I have arrested him... I will lock him up first... After all, what if you can't catch the Wang Lao San from the Li family village? If it doesn't work, then just push him up...』
"Gao! Just do it!" The captain gave out two thumbs and praised, "Gao Ming! You are so tall!"
…(o▽)bb…
Something happened to Yingyin, and the officials from all over the county towns around Yingchuan were so scared that they were almost flying.
Or, it started moving...
Yingyin County Magistrate, a large group of people, all their heads fell to the ground.
These people quickly cleared their relationship and immediately began to praise Cao Cao.
It's all the same on the surface.
『No one can say bad things about Prime Minister Cao!』
"No one can criticize the government!"
"Who dares to discuss Yingyin's affairs, arrest them all!"
"Anyone who spreads rumors must be severely punished!"
In a flash, all the soldiers in Ding County and the thief and constable Cao were dispatched!
Do you want to have a meal? It’s not cold.
What’s so cold is that I’m just throwing shit into the pot while making some rice.
In order to prove that they had never thrown shit, these people began to grit their teeth and assign deadly tasks to the people below, that is, the kind of tasks that have to do even if they do it, and even if they don’t, no matter whether they can do it or not.
This is also the tradition of Chinese politics. When I had time at the beginning, I was too lazy to explain, but when the situation was urgent, I didn’t have time to explain, so I simply didn’t explain it.
When operating normally, everyone is peaceful, peaceful, healthy, smooth, and everything is so beautiful. However, only in an emergency can we tell what is the real bottom line, what is the right model, and what can better ensure the survival of the people.
Should I protect the people or the people?
These are two completely different concepts in Dahan.
But there are still people who can't tell the difference, and they don't even know where they should stand?
Under the superficial actions of respecting Cao Cao, obeying orders, and even defending Cao Cao's reputation at all costs, there are still some ulterior motives, just like darkness under the light.
In the darkness, ghosts and monsters gather together to discuss countermeasures with each other.
After removing the human skin robe on his face, Lucifer threw down his disguised white feathers and exposed his flesh wings.
"Put on Xiahou's clothes! Go and beat people, kill people, and set fire to the surrounding villages and fields!"
『There is also a flag! The flag is also very important! It is necessary for people to see that it is Xiahou's flag!』
"Yes! I heard that Xiahou soldiers will come here soon! We must move quickly! We must disrupt the Shifang Market and the rural villages before they arrive!"
"We have no way to compete with them. Only after we have raised the Guizhou heads can we compete with them!"
"The rice and grain are stuck, and the caravan will be suspended! Just say that the spies in these caravans cannot be released before they are thoroughly investigated, and no grain of rice is allowed to be transported by a person!"
"That's right! Since they don't want us to live well, we will be in chaos in the world!"
"The world is in chaos!"
So, almost quickly, information from both sides spread like crazy.
He "maintains" Cao Cao's reputation without reason and encourages ordinary people to report each other, and even fabricates false reports. He puts them into the prison after being arrested. Anyway, the focus is not to really protect Cao Cao's reputation, but to show that he is doing things very hard.
During the day, these soldiers and soldiers of the county will wear formal clothes and then declare righteously that they should not be messed up or panic, everything is stable and everything is under control. Don’t believe those rumors, don’t listen to those rumors, those are all fake!
"What rumors?" Some people were puzzled, "What happened recently?"
"Ahhh? You don't know?"
"have no idea."
Suddenly, the enthusiastic "people" began to tell them vividly, and at the end they would add a sentence, "It is said that this is a rumor, don't believe it..."
The people who heard this swallowed, their eyes turned a few times, and wanted to ask more details, but they saw that the enthusiastic people had already left.
"What did he say? What did you know?" Another person came over.
"I know...you don't know?"
"I have no idea."
"Oh, then I'll tell you..."
So, the news that hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of people in Yingchuan died spread all the way to Guanzhong.
Naturally, it was also passed to Xu County, to Shangshutai, to Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Guo Jia.
Guo Jia smiled and put the information in his hand on the table in one or two books, muttering in a teasing tone:
"Look, this means that Xiahou's men forced to rob people's wealth in the street, smashed and smashed people, and killed and injured... There were four witnesses and two victims, which can be proved..."
"Look, this means that Qingzhou soldiers plundered caravans in the countryside, forced to buy and sell, bully and raped women... Some witnesses said that they had Qingzhou accent undoubtedly!"
『Look, this is saying...』
Every time Guo Jia reads a letter, Xun Yu's face turned pale.
"So, are you still protecting them?" Guo Jia patted the information on the table, and then turned slightly towards Cao Cao. "Where is the Qingzhou soldiers under the lord's command? You won't know? There are Qingzhou soldiers who have run to Yingchuan to plunder the caravan? Not only are they robbed property, but they also raped and plundered! This matter... tsk, and there happened to be witnesses... and there were still survivors... tsk... tsk... tsk... tsk... tsk... tsk...
『…』 Xun Yu's face was extremely pale.
『The military discipline of the Qingzhou soldiers is indeed not good.』 Guo Jia bowed to Cao Cao, while Cao Cao squinted his eyes and waved his hand, saying that it was okay, "Even if the Qingzhou soldiers really did this... I'm assuming that if they really did it, they should naturally be arrested, punished, and killed! But the question is... should they be widely publicized at this point in time?"
"What should we do now? Protect autumn harvest! Stabilize people's hearts!"
"What are these people doing when the overall situation is coming?"
"Look at these censors and doctors, all of whom are righteous and righteous, seem to be asking for the people, but what are they doing?"
"Look at this book, it says that Xiahou soldiers burned Zhuanghe and robbed villages! Do you think these Xiahou soldiers are really so stupid? You can't even tell the point at the moment?"
"besides……"
Xun Yu closed his eyes and said, "Stop talking."
There was a silence in the Shangshutai Festival Hall.
Outside the festival hall, the sky is clear and the wind is light and the clouds are light.
Cao Cao raised his head and stroked his beard slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Guo Jia slowly put up the censor's impeachment stamps one after another on hand, like bricks and stones built on the city wall, or like a pile of high towers.
"These guys are uncultivated... When they have meat to eat, they smile at you. When they have no meat to eat, they pounce on you and bite your meat! You think they are loyal and turn around gently under your feet. Haha, they are just thinking that the piece of meat on you is more delicious!"
"That's all..." Guo Jia gently pushed the stamps that were piled up, and these stamps collapsed and scattered everywhere. "It's time to close the net!"
These matters were originally under the plan of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.
Yingyin raised her high and let her down easily, which can actually be called guiding a snake out of the hole...
Xun Yu turned around and bowed to Cao Cao, kowtowed to the ground, "Lord... let me stop this matter..."
Chapter completed!
