Sometimes malice arises, it is very simple. Those kind people are too kind, too easy to believe, and too easy to deceive.
This has to tell the story of Cao Cao and Wang Wu.
Since it is a story, it may not be true, but it may not be fake...
Cao Cao had too many people and had less food, so he would soon lose food. The soldiers ate less and less every day, and they all complained. The grain official Wang Wu ran away and said, "What should I do if there is really no food?"
Cao Cao said, "There is no way, I can only lend it to your head."
Wang Wu was very scared and defended: "I am innocent!"
Cao Cao said: "I know you are innocent, but if you don't kill you, your morale will change."
After Wang Ha was killed, Cao Cao explained to everyone that because Wang Ha was greedy for military rations, everyone had no food to eat, and finally stabilized the morale of the army.
If it is corruption, then not only Wang Hu, the grain official in charge of food, is guilty, but the upstream and downstream people are not aware of it?
Those who bought grain from Wang Ye must not know that it was military rations?
Those who took the money from Wang Ye were definitely not sure what the money was going to take?
What is it to just kill Wang Ha?
Have you taken off a white glove?
The problem is that doing so will really stabilize the morale of the army.
So, he said, "A person's head can be eaten as a meal and can relieve resentment. Isn't this simple?"
Of course, in feudal society, people directly borrowed heads. In later generations, they became much more civilized. It was too cruel to borrow heads from others, so I let them go abroad to hide...
Otherwise, just grab a small one and just make a point?
After all, everyone understands that they are all vulnerable groups...
Just like Qiao's current situation, I feel that Zhang Liehuo doesn't understand.
Everyone has difficulties, can’t they take a step back?
Qiao has given up the price, how could Zhang Liehuo not buy it?
Besides, ordinary people are also going to sell talismans. Why do the people make things difficult for the people?
When the talisman is made, regardless of whether it has any effect or not, the original intention is for everyone's good. Why can't I understand it?
In this way, wouldn’t it prove that Zhang Hunter maliciously did not buy talismans?
And it’s malicious and not consuming! How can Qiao make more talismans for everyone if he doesn’t consume?
Save money maliciously! Everyone saves money like Zhang Huowen, so how can the talisman made by Qiao be sold at a high price?
At the same time, he was traveling maliciously! He walked around without a talisman. Isn’t this trying to clearly say that the Qiao talisman is useless?
If this hunter is not malicious, what is it?!
Anyway, Qiao felt that as long as Zhang Liehuo was unwilling to be a leek, everything he did was malicious.
The five-way God Church itself is good, conveying goodwill and cultivating virtue, but like many policies, it is formulated with kindness. However, after a series of "explanations" by the squire who are known as "concerned people of the people", these things become distorted.
So, what should someone do if he doesn’t buy talismans with “malice”?
It's just borrowing someone's head.
Zhang Crooked the man and the cat were on the way back to Zhang Huowen.
Zhang Liewo lived alone on the mountain, which was a shed built by himself. A path he stole from when he traveled on weekdays.
Zhang Cutezi and others were waiting on the edge of the path.
There are more mosquitoes in summer, and it is approaching evening, and it is very arrogant. Zhang Chuizi and others cannot walk around at will. In the eyes of mosquitoes, it is undoubtedly the best delicacy. They bite and bite, making Zhang Chuizi and others scream.
"I said, head, or we'll go to his house to wait! There are so many mosquitoes!" One person slapped the back of his neck with a bang, then reached out to see two or three mosquito corpses lying in his palms, with some blood. He couldn't help but shouted with depression, "Look, how many mosquitoes are!"
Zhang Chuizi also regretted it a little. If he went to the countryside to collect money and food on weekdays, he would have some outfits, anti-worm medicine, mugwort smoke, etc., but now he has a sharp blade in his arms, and he doesn't bring anything else.
While hesitating, the person who was watching the wind at the foot of the mountain ran up, "Here, come!"
Zhang Crook quickly waved his hand, and the people around him understood and took out the sharp blades, either hiding behind trees, or hiding in bushes, waiting for Zhang Hunter to come.
Soon, a figure came shaking from the bottom of the mountain.
Zhang Liewo drank some wine, and his dark face was a little red. Now he just wanted to go back to his hut and have a good sleep. While walking forward, he hummed the tune he heard today.
While walking, Zhang Huehuo suddenly saw a little corner of his clothes behind the tree. He was stunned and stopped.
After all, Zhang Cuzi and others are not professional assassins, and they inevitably reveal some flaws when they hide.
There are very few people coming to Zhang Hunter wherever Zhang Hunter comes, so Zhang Hunter immediately became alert and shouted: "Who is hiding behind the tree?"
Seeing the traces revealed, Zhang Crook also shouted and took action.
Zhang Crooked his eyes shone fiercely, holding a short blade in his hand and turned out from behind the tree, attracting Zhang Huowen's gaze. But the one who really attacked was not Crooked Zhang, but another person hiding in the bushes aside. The man also stabbed Zhang Huowen's chest with his sword, and footsteps sounded behind Zhang Huowen and left at the same time. With the sound of his clothes rubbing, the evil wind came.
Zhang Liehuo was also fighting with the beast in the mountains. Although he was not a man who had many battles, he was not a person with weak legs when he was bleeding. He didn't have to look back and knew that there were people coming from behind and on the left. Although he also brought a short blade to defend himself, the opponent's actions were too sudden. The knife had reached his chest in an instant, and he didn't even have time to draw the knife.
"Ahhh!" Zhang Liewo roared, and in critical moments, he used his right arm to slightly open the blade stabbed in front of him to the right, while his left hand blocked the left, trying to use the short blade sheath in his sleeve to block the knife from the left, but his center of gravity had not been adjusted and his footsteps were not moving. A blade behind him had already stabbed his back!
At the critical moment of life and death, Zhang Liehuo used his years of experience of encountering violent beasts, and shrank and slanted. The blade stabbed from behind did not pierce directly into his body, but a long gap was made along his back, and blood immediately gushed out.
Zhang Crook is lame and his movement speed is slow, but slowness also has the benefits of slowness. When Zhang Seihuo avoided or resisted the first wave of attacks, Zhang Crooko happened to arrive. He grabbed the hilt of the knife tightly and stabbed Zhang Seihuo desperately.
Zhang Liewo was injured in his right arm and back at this time. He pulled out the short blade to force the man on the right, threw the scabbard to scare the person on the left and back, subconsciously rushed forward, trying to return to his hut, but Zhang Lazi stabbed into the ribs with a knife. The short blade broke through Zhang Liewo's muscles in Zhang Liewo's ribs and rubbed it on the ribs, making a harsh scratching sound.
The foreign object and pain caused the muscles around Zhang Lehuo's wound to contract violently, clamping the blade tightly. Zhang Crook wanted to draw the knife, but couldn't pull it out for a while.
Zhang Liehuo howled, and slashed at Zhang Liehuo with a backhand. Zhang Liehuo wanted to hide, but he was lame, so he couldn't dodge. He was hit by Zhang Liehuo's counterattack, and his clothes broke open on his chest and blood came out.
But the blade that attacked again later made Zhang Liehuo unable to continue chasing Zhang Liehuo. After being stabbed for a few consecutive times, Zhang Liehuo felt that all the strength in his body disappeared and he fell down softly.
The few people still didn't let it go, so they rushed up and stabbed Zhang Huowen with a knife. Everyone stabbed three or four times. After a lot of blood was splashed on their faces and the ground, they stopped panting...
Seeing Zhang Liehuo dead, Zhang Crook realized that he was also hit by a knife. He screamed, and then he wanted to kick Zhang Liehuo in the head angrily, but because of his lameness, he fell again and touched the wound, and screamed in pain.
The person next to him rushed forward to support him, "Hey, you rest, we'll do this..."
Zhang Crooked his wound with his hands and shouted, "It hurts so much... Do you know what to do?"
Several of his subordinates just knew that they were going to kill Zhang Huowen, so of course they didn't know the reason.
"You want to be a ghost that is going to be a ghost!" Zhang Crooker pointed to Zhang Liehun's corpse and said, "It was a ghost that hurt him, do you understand? You want people to see that it is a ghost... Oh, it hurts, it is a ghost, do you understand?"
"I understand!" The subordinate subconsciously answered, and then realized, "But... head, what should this ghost look like?"
"Ghosts are of course..." Zhang Crooker said half of the word, and then got stuck, "Of course they are like ghosts... Ghosts are more powerful than humans, so... Well, that's right, go to his house to find out if there are any axes or something, take them! Then your hands and feet are separated... throw your hands and feet away, pull your intestines out, and pull them away, and throw your head into the house..."
…_(:з」∠)_…
Qiao Ming admired Zhang Crook's execution ability very much.
When he saw Zhang Crooker injured again, he gave him a reward without saying a word.
Of course, if you are a leader, you like such subordinates the most. You don’t have to explain anything clearly, and then the subordinates will do it happily. In this way, if there is any responsibility, it is not the leader’s fault, but the subordinates will make their own decisions, fail to understand the spirit, increase their investment without authorization, and deviate from the original direction...
For example, the post-00s generations who move are holding a recorder and keep evidence of everything. The leader just doesn't like it, saying that such people are not proactive at all, and do whatever they call them. The execution ability is too poor and cannot be kept. They must send it out when they are thirty-five years old.
Zhang Cutezi received the reward, and of course Qiao also said that the reward had nothing to do with Zhang Liehuo, but it was just because Zhang Cutezi accumulated the rewards of hard work in his previous work.
Zhang Crook also knew that the reason why he could kill Zhang Liehuo was inseparable from the assistance of his several gang members. So after receiving the reward, he did not say that he had taken it alone, but asked his subordinates to buy wine and meat, eat and drink together, and give him some money to his subordinates, which could be regarded as labor fees and other things. Then he asked these subordinates to spread new rumors that Zhang Liehuo was found by a ghost and released the news of his sudden death...
The news spread gradually.
Although this news made the farmers feel the "terrifying" of the ghost, it also attracted the attention of Ma Zhong, the inspector of Chengdu.
Ma Zhong is from Langzhong County, Baxi County. When he was a child, he was fostered at his grandfather's house. His surname was Hu Du. Later, he was restored to Ma and changed his name to Zhong. As a person who was deeply involved in the rebellion incident in the Li family in Chengdu, Ma Zhong knew that many things were not what they seemed on the surface. Sometimes subtle negligence may lead to serious consequences.
It is precisely because of this that he discovered the abnormality of Zhang Huheng's death.
Ordinary people cannot tell what is the biting of ghosts and the scars of swords and guns, but Ma Zhong knows it.
There are also some veterans who retired from the military inspectors. When they walked around the scene, nothing could escape their eyes.
Ghosts eat people.
Wild beasts can eat people occasionally.
But the blood on the ground seemed very miserable, but if you look carefully, you will find that Zhang Huowen's body was actually not much flesh and blood, and it was more like a small animal after death, rather than the rumored act of a man-eating ghost.
If a ghost really eats people, can so many be left?
So Ma Zhong reported the abnormality of the matter to Fazheng.
Fa Zheng immediately ordered Ma Zhong to conduct further investigation, and as a result, Zhang Cutezi jumped out by himself during Ma Zhong's investigation. It was not that Zhang Cutezi was arrogant, but because Zhang Cutezi was sick.
After Zhang Crook was injured, in order to show his hard work, he did not choose to clean the wound. Instead, he simply bandaged it and went to see Qiao Ming. After getting the reward, he took his brother to drink again. It was very pleasant, but the wound was infected.
Maybe if you clean the wound in time, or if you don’t rush to drink and eat meat, Zhang Crook may not have any problems, but just like Zhang Crook thinks that Zhang Seow can pretend to be a ghost after dismembering Zhang, it is so ignorant and ignorant.
And what's even more interesting is that after Zhang Chuizi fell ill, his subordinates also got sick.
Zhang Crook was infected, while his subordinates had malaria and were bitten by a mosquito carrying bacteria.
Both Zhang Crooker and his subordinates had no knowledge and culture, so they were suffering from illness and hallucinations that Zhang Liewo was coming to seek their lives...
In order to deal with the life-seeking evil spirit, Zhang Crooker's other two subordinates found "professional" people, Taoist priests from the Five God Cults, and they believed that they were "real" Taoist priests with magic power. Of course, the basis for their judgment was very simple, that is, like them, those who became Taoist priests for the sake of collecting money, basically have no ability, and those who do not collect money can be called "true" Taoist priests.
The "true" Taoist priest I found was naturally not from Qiao. This Taoist priest looked down on the behavior of these people who used the Gods of the Five Directions to make money. It was just because he wanted to cast spells and drive away ghosts to Zhang Chuizi, of course he had to ask clearly. As soon as he asked, Zhang Chuizi's subordinates were hesitating again, and finally he said that the ghosts who harmed Zhang Seower also came to harm Zhang Chuizi and the others...
The Taoist priest turned around and reported it. Then when Ma Zhong came with the inspector, Zhang Crook's remaining two subordinates could not have the spirit of not surrendering. He said everything as soon as he asked.
…┐(?～?)┌…
The news about the Qiao clan brought by Fa Zheng made Xu Shu feel a little relieved while laughing and sighing.
The laughter is directed at the stupidity and greed of the Qiao clan, while the sigh is because of these blinded people.
As for whether you feel at ease, it is for Nanzhong.
After all, Nanzhong was in chaos and roads were paved during this period, so the benefits involved were naturally quite large. So I heard that it was caused by Qiao, not the people of Nanzhong, or Liu Bei, who tried to disrupt the situation, so of course I felt a little more at ease.
Of course, it is still impossible to let go of the vigilance that should be. Ma Heng still has to go to Nanzhong, but it is not so urgent now.
Xu Shu thought for a while and said to Fa Zheng and Ma Heng: "Although this matter is still controllable, it also reflects many problems... The people of Sichuan and Sichuan are confused and ignorant... and there is a little bit of agitation, which means they listen to and believe..."
Fa Zheng nodded, "It's true. The local gentry still controls the mouthpiece. Qiao uses the Gods of the Five Directions to make money. If so... it would be bad..."
Since the people can be encouraged to believe in ghosts and gods, it may be encouraged to believe in something else.
In Sichuan and Sichuan, since the Five Dou Sects, they have been gods and ghosts. This incident in the Five God Sects also shows that religion is actually two-sided, and if you are not careful, you will be exploited by others.
Xu Shu thought about it, "It's better to do this... There is a big discussion on Qinglong Temple in Chang'an. So how about we just follow the actions of the lord in Sichuan and Sichuan? "
When Fa Zheng hears the sound of the sine, he knows the meaning of elegance, "Break the prophecies and divinations?"
Xu Shu nodded.
The study of prophecies and divination is a major stubborn disease in Sichuan and Shu. In the late Zhuge period, a large number of Sichuan and Shu people still used prophecies and divination to cause trouble. Although the three servants of Chang'an and officials no longer talk about prophecies and divination, among the people of Sichuan and Shu, prophecies and divination are still very popular, and the people are used to this, just like the reason why the rumors of ghosts and gods can be circulated like this indirectly illustrate this point.
During the debate, breaking prophecies and divination was done in the previous Qinglong Temple discussion. Now, Sichuan and Shu not only need to be done on the official side, but also pass on it so that more people no longer pass on prophecies and divination words or ghosts and gods.
The five-way God Church can only be used as a spiritual sustenance and a good guide, and cannot be used by some people to use it, spread rumors, cause trouble, and destroy local areas.
Xu Shu said: "In addition, we will make some slang songs that will make people sing... Nowadays, rap people in Chengdu regard vulgarity as beauty. Although they are also loved by the people, it is of no benefit... If you can teach and enjoy it, there is no great thing."
"What the envoy said is very true." Fa Zheng nodded and said, "The people of Sichuan and Shu have lived in the mountains for a long time, and there are also mixed together between the monks and di, and the Hu and Man are intertwined. If they use official studies to govern them, they will be very slow and effective. Only by governing them with customs can they penetrate into the people and the people... Only by advocating them with elegance and common people will they not be biased."
This is like literary and artistic films have the advantages of literary and artistic films, and commercial films also have the advantages of commercial films. Then, if you have to use literary and artistic films to replace commercial films, you will undoubtedly be far away from the nearest and far away. Those who can mix some good things in commercial films are the real ability. You will only blindly say that the people’s appreciation level is not enough, that’s the case.
"Anyone who collects money in the name of God from the five directions is false faith, and can be reported and arrested!" Fa Zheng said, "If the people can know this law, most troubles will be avoided!"
Xu Shu nodded and expressed his approval.
Ma Heng was on the side, seemingly wanting to speak but stopping.
Xu Shu turned to Ma Heng and said, "What do Zhongchang thinks? Just say it bluntly."
Ma Heng suggested: "I heard that there was a public trial and verdict in Chang'an before, and the punishment was imposed on the spot... Since Qiao is like this, why not use it?"
Xu Shu laughed and said, "Zhongchang's strategy is very wonderful! Just use it for his first use!"
