Chapter 325: The country will not be the country, and the people will not be people
(I forgot to change the title of the chapter in the previous chapter, which should be "Breaking the thief and killing the head, and it will be defeated with one blow". It is troublesome to modify it, but it does not affect reading, as you know.)
Song Zhiyuan was lying in the carriage, his arrows had been pulled out, and he applied golden sore medicine. He could recover after resting for a few days. Chen Sanlang traveled to Yongzhou, and there were many entourages, including blacksmiths, carpenters, etc., as well as doctors. When he was in Chenjiazhuang, they were treated well, and many people were willing to follow Chen Sanlang to leave Jingxian.
In the dynasty, the craftsman class belonged to a low-level industry and was deeply discriminated against. However, under Chen Sanlang, these people transformed and enjoyed many unimaginable benefits. They could not only display their strengths, but also be decent and rich. Therefore, they had long been devoted to Chen Sanlang. They would follow wherever Chen Sanlang went.
Chen Sanlang came to visit and saw that Song Zhiyuan looked pale due to blood loss, and his spirit was also hit, and he was lying there in a depressed state.
Song Kechan was taking care of her, with a look of concern on her face. When she saw Chen Sanlang coming, she quickly got up to greet her.
Song Zhiyuan looked at Chen Sanlang and struggled to sit up. Chen Sanlang bent in and held him down with one hand: "Mr. Song is injured, why should he be so polite?"
Song Zhiyuan sighed: "Song is useless. He almost missed a big deal. He really has no face to see the young master."
"What are you talking about by sir? It's just that the bandits are vicious and insidious."
Song Zhiyuan had a sad face: "It was Song who was pedantic and read the books of sages in vain, but it was useless."
The arrow not only shot on his arm, but also on his heart. He escaped from Nanyang Prefecture and settled in Jingxian County. He was treated quite well. He divided the fields and comfortable residences, and had no worries about food and clothing, and he didn't have to worry about it day and night like in Nanyang Prefecture.
For this reason, he was deeply grateful to Chen Sanlang and wanted to do things for Chen Sanlang. However, the county government had Zhou family Cao, and Song Zhiyuan had no intention of entering. After all, a small county government is so big, how much business can be handled? Zhou family Cao alone is enough. Song Zhiyuan intervened again and said that there was no meaning.
As for staying in Chenjiazhuang to host the Chen family, due to the small population of Chen Sanlang family, education matters are relatively simple. In addition, there is also a respected Mr. Yang who is doing this. His experience in teaching children to primary school is better than that of Song Zhiyuan.
As a result, Song Zhiyuan seemed to be free. He felt very sorry for this. Now that he has been to Yongzhou and encountered bandits, he wants to stand up and make contributions with his perfect words. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was first shot and was dismissed.
This is still in front of everyone. Song Zhiyuan has always been arrogant and has suffered this shame than killing him.
Chen Sanlang comforted: "Sir has its own purpose in studying, but it is not suitable for dealing with bandits. As the saying goes: A scholar meets a soldier, it is difficult to explain it clearly."
Song Zhiyuan said: "But they are obviously ordinary people, they have to be thieves."
"Maybe it was a last resort, but once you eat meat, drink blood, and kill people, you will be a real thief."
Chen Sanlang said slowly: "The changes in people's hearts are the most unpredictable. Not to mention that we are from Yangzhou, even local officials in Yongzhou will not let them go if they are caught by a weak person."
Song Zhiyuan trembled: "Are they so bold?"
Chen Sanlang looked at him: "There is nothing, this is the same as that. In today's chaos in Yongzhou, the government has no prestige, and it has even become the object of hatred and hatred by the people. How could they be afraid?"
Yongzhou was lost and became a barbarian army. There was no large army of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion, which made the people live in vain. In the hearts of the people, they naturally lost their favor for the imperial court, and they would only scold the imperial court for being incompetent, and they were even more unhappy about the imperial court's appointment.
When Song Zhiyuan heard this, he suddenly realized his heart: He talked to the thief and showed Chen Sanlang's identity. He was not a deterrent, but he was simply a mistake.
Chen Sanlang said again: "The most important thing is, in order to survive and to be able to fill your stomach, what can't be done?"
Song Zhiyuan said sadly: "The catastrophe in the world has led to the collapse of etiquette and morality. The country will not be a country, and people will not be a human being. What is our face to read the books of sages?"
When Chen Sanlang heard this, he sighed in his heart. He knew that Song Zhiyuan was a scholar and was accustomed to studying in his study. He had a very serious Confucian style. He had little interest in politics, but he was concerned about the people's governance. Now he encountered such a big change, but he saw that people's hearts were not as old as bandits came out everywhere, and he couldn't help but sigh.
In other words, such characters have a common problem: they complain too much!
It’s not that they have to open their mouths and be honest in terms of integrity and integrity, and never lose to others. They go to the national crisis with generous help and never frown.
Chen Sanlang didn't say much, but gave him a few words of advice to heal with peace of mind. After that, he got off the carriage.
Song Kechan ran out and said, "Young Master Chen, thank you."
This young woman, with her hair tied her hair and bare face, showed her own beautiful temperament. Her face could not hide her anxiety, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she didn't know whether she was worried about her father's injuries or something else.
Chen Sanlang reached out and grabbed her hand and said, "It's all a family, what's going on..."
When he said this, he was stunned and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what he did. He quickly let go and his old face turned red: "You take care of your father, I'll do something first."
Turn around and run away.
Song Kechan didn't expect Chen Sanlang to grab his hand, and his mind suddenly became blank. When he heard the words of "family", he felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand steadily. His cheeks were covered with red glows, which were particularly delicate. His heart was like a deer, and he jumped violently: "What does he mean? Could it be..."
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I quickly ran back to the carriage.
But Chen Sanlang walked away quickly and said, "It's a tragic thing, men and women are not kissing each other, why did I grab her hand?"
It is said that when he was stabbed by the evil sword, he fainted on the ground and had a strange dream. There seemed to be many things in his mind, including poems, songs, and different worlds. As a result, his thinking and behavior were greatly affected, and he would subconsciously express it when he was unintentionally.
This kind of performance is quite open. It can be said to be unconventional, or it can be said to be unruly, or it can be said to be absurd... It depends on who the object is and how it is understood.
"Forget it, just grab a hand, but you won't get pregnant, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Sanlang is determined to be honest, and more important things are waiting for him.
In one battle, the bandits defeated the thief and killed three thief leaders. Jiaoshan bandits have become frightened birds and it is impossible for them to dare to invade again. Chen Sanlang did not want to wipe out the other side, and he wanted to catch them all in one go. As Song Zhiyuan said, "I have to be a thief." There is no need to kill them all.
The urgent thing now is to continue to set off and arrive at a suitable place to create a foundation as soon as possible. Only then can you take root in Yongzhou.
