Many people don’t realize that this is not a solution, but they really don’t know what to do or what they can do.

Of course, there is more that there is no real determination—

It is easy to eat and wait to die, but it is difficult to make changes. How many people think about exercising and losing weight, but they don’t even have the explosive power to get up every morning, let alone go to morning jogging and doing exercise.

Having an idea is just having an idea after all.

Once you have to change your lifestyle, you are already familiar with it, used to it, accepted it, and worked hard for an idea by yourself, most people can't even get up early and go running.

How could I hope that the plan that is very involved can be implemented in an instant? So it is not surprising that Liu Zhengyuan will do this, or it should be said that it is really normal.

He wanted to do something, but in the end he didn't do it... Just like many people are indignant about those bad things, and they are dissatisfied with the court in private, but if they are asked to do something.

But not many people have such courage.

Many people are forced to have no way to survive before they dare to make real changes. Most people will grit their teeth and endure it for their families and children as long as they have a glimmer of illusory hope.

The resistance they can make is quite negative. For example, cursing the dog official to die early and believing in retribution. At most, it is to open the window when it is late at night and spit in the direction of the yamen.

Even the poor are good. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope and not being forced into a completely dead end, they will not really want to make a desperate bet. Liu Zhengyuan's family is a big business, and his father is also the Minister of Justice, so naturally he has more concerns.

He wanted to do something, but he didn't do it in the end.

What's more, the world is the world of all people after all, and it is not something he can change alone. Before he started doing things or even made up his mind, he had such an idea first, so it's no wonder that he couldn't achieve any results.

This young master was a little sad and angry with him, but he was more accustomed to him.

He also knew that this time things would not change. As usual, there were so many things he saw that made people angry and angry... It was probably just a few days or a while before he would completely forget about this matter.

He thought so, but unfortunately, everything is missing in this world, but the only thing he lacks is accidents.

...

...

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Liu Zhengyuan slowly returned to normal, feeling like he was back to his past days.

The nightmare did not leave completely, but it was no longer as serious as it was on that day. The nightmare that had been repeatedly doing it all night did not happen again. It was just that occasionally you might dream of the bloody scene of that day.

The weather was getting colder, but the situation seemed to be getting better, because the Liao people who were knocking on the gate did not drive straight in, but were instead stranded in the north and south roads.

Although the news was very inconvenient to transmit, based on the situation, the Liao people seemed to be dragged down by the tenacious resistance of the locals and the frontier official army, and it was difficult to move forward... This news shocked the world for a while and the people were excited.

After all, compared with the fact that the iron hooves of alien races came and went freely in the past, the frontier official army was a waste. This year, it was so entangled that it was difficult to distinguish and resolve, which naturally made many people overjoyed.

I don’t know how many literati and poets were excited for a moment, and they wanted to leave their own calligraphy to praise this rare victory. I don’t know how many “capable ministers” in the court took this credit for their own name for granted. Their reasons were quite sufficient.

The border defense war will have such gratifying results this year, naturally because of the guidance of the memorials and other memorials that criticize current affairs this year, which has played a role, is incisive, far-sighted, and is superior to others...

Otherwise, how could the group of lowly generals on the frontier achieve such gratifying results? This contribution is also something that a group of ordinary people who only know how to dance with swords and guns and do not know how to educate saints?

It's such a big joke!

However, there are not only people who have such opinions. Every year, everyone has habitually criticized the incompetence of border defense, which has led to many people submitting corresponding memorials...

Since we have achieved success now, everyone has sufficient reason to think that this is mainly due to their broad vision and the credit of knowing what they have not yet made.

It can be said that before the officials in the north could express their opposition, the "capable ministers" in the court fought on their own.

However, they still have a big view of the situation in some aspects, that is, they unanimously proposed that although the Liao people were unable to advance directly this year, the other side was the powerful side after all, and they must not anger the Liao people too much, so they must still adhere to the concept of peace first...

To sum up, it is to measure the material resources of the Central Plains and make the favor of the alien race. Just spend some money to buy peace. Even if you have the advantage, you must recognize this fact.

It can only be said that the surrendered faction is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the whole family is dominant.

Naturally, Liu Zhengyuan also heard the so-called high-profile discussions of the so-called capable ministers in the court from his father, and also knew the cowardly attitude of the royal family. He could only smile bitterly in his heart, which was even more sad.

But his identity did not allow him to really say something ruthless, so he just listened to his father casually and ended a family dinner after listening to what he said calmly, as if nothing had happened.

But I felt a little depressed, and I haven't been out for half a month, so the young master was upset and finally decided to go out for a night market at night.

Then--

"Why does it seem a bit deserted today?" Looking at the prosperous streets and alleys in the past, it was already lonely and deserted this evening, with few pedestrians. Even if there were, they were speeding up and rushing.

That anxious look and a anxious look were as if there was something terrible behind him chasing him.

As the faint sunset slowly set, the pedestrians on the streets became even more scarce, which made the young man very suspicious. Could it be that Kaifeng Prefecture did not know when it started and the curfew system was restored? After nightfall, he would not be allowed to stay on the street again?

But it is unlikely, and if this is the case, no one will remind you when you leave the mansion.

Also, looking at the expressions of those people, they seemed to be more afraid of the sunshine falling and the night coming, as if bad things would happen if they continued to stay outside at that time.

"Young Master... This situation actually started to happen seven or eight days ago. It is said that some... some not very good rumors appeared in the city."

Facing the inquiry, the accompanying confidant said hesitantly.

"To be honest, it's related to the incident you asked us to investigate before. From that day on, people in the city have died one after another, and the deaths are the same. Something has been eaten by the meat on their bodies..."

"Um...!!" Liu Zhengyuan was about to forget about this incident, but now he was suddenly reminded to recall it, and his face changed slightly in an instant.

People in the city are dying one after another? And the death is the same? What does this mean?

As the servant explained carefully, Liu Zhengyuan slowly understood, and his face turned pale...

It turned out that it started from the tragic death of Wang Yuanwai's family of three that day, and some supernatural incident seemed to have begun to break out. It was like an infectious disease, but it was even more exaggerated than that.

Wang Yuanwai's family of three was just the beginning, and then even in charge of this case that seemed to be insignificant to the world, in order to save trouble, he directly scolded several constables who closed the case in one day, and were actually wiped out.

Moreover, the death was as miserable as it was discovered. The body had almost been eaten clean. The most terrifying thing was the teeth marks on the bones...

This caused a huge uproar. Although the government tried hard to refute the rumors and said that everything was made out of nothing, the news was leaked for some reason, and it quickly spread to ten thousand and hundreds of people.

In addition, this is under the feet of the emperor, and the Censorate is always watching the opportunity to report on the small news all day long. If such a bad thing happens, the Kaifeng Prefecture naturally does not have any privileges to let them sell their face.

There were many memorials like snowflakes, all accusing this matter, and the emperor also personally issued instructions to require such a bad case to be handled as soon as possible.

——It can be said that at this stage, most people still don’t believe that there are really evil ghosts who harm people, but they just think that there are some cruel murderers pretending to be a ghost and doing illegal things.

However, the dog could not change his shit. The emperor personally issued an instruction and put pressure on the court. The prefect of Kaifeng was naturally anxious to close the case. He could not investigate slowly, but in the end he was very likely to find that he could not catch the murderer at all, leaving stains that could not be washed away in his political career.

So he took it for granted that according to the principle of proximity, he directly arrested more than ten people near the crime site, beaten and scolded them into a blow, and convicted the crime as quickly as possible, and the case was settled on the third day.

This is pretty good. If it weren't for making it as reasonable as possible, it would seem a bit fake to solve the case in one day, and the Kaifeng prefecture could not even take three days at all.

Then, the Kaifeng prefect was destroyed on the fourth night with the praise of the court. This time, the whole family was unable to escape, and hundreds of people were killed overnight!

And when it was discovered, the body was basically eaten up...

Now, the entire Kaifeng Prefecture was almost infuriated. The court felt that his face was dull and furious, thinking that some vicious and inhumane criminal organization was provoking the power of the country. He slapped them in the face and slapped them in the face, slapped them all in the face, slamming their faces.

At the same time, he hated the damn Kaifeng Prefecture, because anyone with discerning eyes knew what the so-called "divine death" was. If the latter were not the target of the disaster this time, the court would have even had the heart to cut him alive.

However, the concepts and ideas of the people at the bottom are simpler. Although a few voices say that this is karma and retribution and sin is coming, how can we explain the whole thing?

But more people are afraid of such a bizarre and terrible phenomenon, and they believe that this is an evil ghost who eats people, so there will be great danger when they come out at night...

"... But in the eyes of the villain, this is nonsense, and there are only people in these places that don't come out at night. You can still go to the places where the young master often goes to."

The servant said with a smile, using this as a conclusion.

Liu Zhengyuan was cold all over, but at this time he did not want to show his timidity, so he pretended to be calm and continued to let the carriage move forward in the lonely and lonely streets at night, as if nothing had happened.

With the monotonous sound of the wheels rolling the stone slab road, he felt the silence outside, but he gradually felt a sense of hairiness in his heart.

But at this moment, there seemed to be a monotonous humming sound in front of me-

"... I'll listen to it, the bean shed and melon racks are like silk... I should be tired of talking about the world, and I love to listen to ghosts singing poems in autumn graves..."
