Chapter 445: There is no conflict between committing evil acts and compassion
The father and son walked back to the courtyard with dignified and mighty postures. As soon as they entered, Li Qinzai's expression changed and he hurriedly ordered the door to be closed tightly.
The Buqu who were guarding the door saw Wu Shaolang's panic and thought they had encountered a strong enemy. They subconsciously showed a fierce expression and placed their right hands on the handle of the knife.
Li Qinzai ignored them, carried Qiao'er to the middle of the yard, and ordered him to stand still with a sullen face.
He looked around to find a handy weapon to wear with him, but only the horizontal sword on the side of his waist seemed to be more convenient. After some hesitation, he decided to forget it.
"Stand right here! Keep your back straight and your head raised... No! Lower your head and keep the posture of confessing your guilt and submitting to the law!" Li Qinzai shouted angrily.
Qiaoer stood up straight and bowed his head.
Li Qinzai looked left and right again and took off the horizontal knife from the waist of the corridor.
When the horizontal sword was unsheathed, Bu Qu was shocked. He grabbed the handle of the sword and refused to let go: "Fifth Young Master, no matter how big of a mistake the Young Master makes, there is no need to use the sword!"
Li Qinzai glared at him and let him pull the knife by the handle, but he took off the scabbard and walked directly to Qiao'er.
"Injuring someone for no reason and punishing them without teaching them is cruelty. I must punish you today. Do you know your mistake?" Li Qinzai asked with a cold face.
Qiao'er lowered her head and whispered, "I know I was wrong."
"Okay, if you do something wrong, you must be punished. Your brothers and sisters will be whipped if they make mistakes. You are still young, so you don't need to be whipped, but you still have to be beaten. Keep your hands out!" Li Qinzai raised the scabbard high.
Qiao'er pursed her little mouth and stretched out her white and tender hands fearfully.
Li Qinzai was about to slap his palm when suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind the hall.
Cui Jie didn't know who had tipped off the news, so she held up her skirt in a panic and ran out of the backyard in a hurry.
"Husband, please wait!" Cui Jie called.
The father and son looked at her.
Cui Jie rushed to the middle of the yard and stopped in front of Qiao'er without saying a word and stared at Li Qinzai.
"What mistake did Qiao'er make? Why did your husband punish him?"
Li Qinzai snorted and said, "Ask him."
Cui Jie turned around and squatted down, looking level with Qiao'er. Her tone became much softer: "Qiao'er, good boy, what did you just do to make dad angry?"
Qiao'er carefully looked at Li Qinzai's face and whispered: "I... hurt someone with a slingshot."
Cui Jie hesitated for a moment and asked without giving up: "Did that person bully you first?"
Qiao'er shook his head: "He didn't bully me, I hurt him."
Cui Jie was stunned for a long time, and was speechless and choked.
Really... I tried my best to find an excuse to forgive him but I couldn't find one.
"Why did Qiao'er hurt him?" Cui Jie had to ask from a different angle.
"Dad told me that everyone in the world is gray. Everyone has a good side and a bad side. Qiao'er only has a good side. If you break the rules, you must do a bad thing to be tolerated by the world." Qiao'er was weak.
typical.
Cui Jie looked at Qiao'er in shock, then turned to look at Li Qinzai. Then her pretty face suddenly turned cold, and she glared at Li Qinzai and said, "Is this how you teach your children?"
For some reason, Li Qinzai suddenly felt a little unreasonable and subconsciously explained: "I mean..."
His mind was a little confused. Li Qinzai tried his best to think through the logic, then came back to his senses and said: "Huh? What I said is right."
Cui Jie said angrily: "There are good and bad people, gray and white. If you hadn't instigated him, everyone would do bad things. Would Qiao'er hurt people for no reason?"
"Did I instigate you?" Li Qinzai was furious.
Turning his head and glaring at Qiao'er fiercely, Li Qinzai said angrily: "I'm talking to you about Chicken Soup for the Soul, and you treat it like a sunflower manual? You're right and who's wrong? Stretch out your hand!"
Cui Jie guarded Qiao'er behind her like a hen guarding her chickens, and said sternly, "Qiao'er is at fault, and it was your father who instigated you. If you want to be punished, you should be punished!"
"Besides, Qiao'er hurt someone, and you, the father, didn't apologize in person. Instead, you took Qiao'er and sneaked back. What are you thinking? The upper beam is crooked, how can you expect the lower beam to be better?"
Li Qinzai was stunned again. After getting into trouble, he sneaked away with Qiaoer, purely following the call of his heart...
What I just said about good guys and bad guys, gray and white, etc., from the perspective of an adult, those words are absolutely correct.
Qiao'er misunderstood what she meant, thinking that a person must do a bad thing to be complete. From a child's perspective, it seems... right?
So, who is at fault?
Could it be that Li Jingxuan was wrong? Who told him to appear in the wrong place at the wrong time?
The three views in Zifu were a bit shaken, and Li Qinzai found that he had to find a place to stabilize his cultivation.
Seeing Li Qinzai stunned, Cui Jie was also a discerning person, so she immediately dragged Qiao'er and ran to the backyard: "This opportunity is rare, your father is stupid, run away!"
The two women disappeared in a puff of smoke.
When Li Qinzai came back to his senses, Cui Jie and Qiao'er were no longer in the yard, only a group of tribes were hiding under the pillars and cautiously watching him.
Li Qinzai shouted in a deep voice: "There is a gag order on what happened today, no one is allowed to tell it!"
…………
Early the next morning, Li Sujie hurried to the other hospital and told Li Qinzai that Dr. Li was assassinated yesterday evening. The assassin attacked Li Jingxuan with pebbles. After succeeding, he escaped in a very cool way.
Li Qinzai was shocked: "How is Dr. Li? Is there anything serious?"
Li Sujie's expression was complicated, and she didn't know whether to be happy or angry: "Dr. Li was seriously injured and had a big bump on his head. He asked students to deliver messages today and cannot teach his disciples anymore."
Li Qinzai lowered his face and said coldly: "Any assassin who dares to assassinate court officials on my territory is committing a heinous crime and must be investigated and punished severely!"
Then Li Qinzai raised his voice and said: "Ah Si!"
Liu Asi flashed forward and cupped his fists.
"Assemble your troops and search around Zhuangzi for the assassin's whereabouts. If there are any clues, report them to me immediately."
There was such a big commotion in the other courtyard last night, and Liu Asi was naturally aware of it, but he was given a silence order. Seeing Li Qinzai's righteous face at this moment, Liu Asi couldn't help but secretly fell in love, cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
Then Li Qinzai looked anxious again and said to Li Sujie: "Take me to visit Dr. Li quickly."
The performance was flawless before and after. Li Sujie did not suspect anything and led Li Qinzai to the school.
The house where Li Jingxuan lived was located in the backyard of the school. When the school was first built, Li Qinzai took precautions and asked craftsmen to build a row of separate bungalows as teachers' dormitories. After Li Jingxuan took office, he moved in alone, and he was the only one living in the entire row of teachers' dormitories.
Walking outside the door of Li Jingxuan's house, Li Qinzai paused, adjusted his expression, and then revealed an expression that was one part anxious, two parts angry, two parts distressed, and one part sad.
Don't ask why so many emotions can be divided so clearly. The question is that I talked about my ex-girlfriend who acted like a monster in my previous life. I spent all my best youth learning acting skills.
After calming down, Li Qinzai took a deep breath, opened the door and rushed in quickly, crying sadly: "Dr. Li, I'm a step late!"
Li Sujie, who was following behind, paused and immediately became suspicious.
Sir, this reaction...is a bit excessive.
Could it be that he did the immoral thing last night?
