There is no way to restrain the demons. What I want to restrain is not the demons, but the greed in people's hearts.
And under the current attitude, there is no way to stop it.
It's really an extremely pessimistic thing.
Maybe Xue Cheng will be depressed in the future because of this.
Not only because he reported the method of raising demons, but also because he knew that even if he did not report it, this matter would also be spread in the near future. The Land of the Rising Sun's ten years of continuous management and persistence would soon
This has brought this matter to the brink of explosion.
Sooner or later it will be uploaded, but knowing all this, there is still no way to change it. It is like a mantis trying to block a car. In the face of the rolling trend, personal efforts seem so powerless.
In the future, Rui Hai may face even more terrifying and cruel scenes. Perhaps Rui Hai already knows the situation of demons in various places. After all, he had already become the governor of Yangzhou at that time.
The situation everywhere must be reported to him, and he is unable to change it if he wants to. This is undoubtedly the cruelest torture for a person with ideals.
I asked myself, should I continue doing this?
Yes, I discovered that I am not a saint, and my thoughts are not so firm that they are indestructible. I will also hesitate and hesitate to move forward.
Knowing that if you work hard on something and put in a lot of effort, you will still get no reward and will only face failure, do you still want to do such a thing?
Isn't it possible to come back and become a normal ordinary person?
With my strength, realm, and abilities, it is not difficult to protect my family and friends.
I have a choice.
I fell into deep hesitation.
…
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, feeling worried for his future brother.
It would be too cruel for a person to be an enemy of the entire world, or to be an enemy of all the wealthy families in the entire world.
If it were in a novel, it would certainly be a thing that could be called a legend, but if it really happened in reality, that kind of terrible and cruel blow would make people truly doubt their life.
Just a small sect of aristocratic families can easily destroy the Zhang family, let alone those top big families that are entrenched in Longxing Mansion and grew up in one place or even one state.
Who can withstand their terrible onslaught?
Faced with huge difficult choices at such a moment, Zhang Mingtu did not feel unforgivable and did not think he was a saint.
And even saints will have times of hesitation and trouble.
Xue Cheng chose to give up, and Rui Hai even resigned and returned to his hometown.
In such a state, Zhang Mingtu could understand that the future brother chose to retreat.
…
I choose to stay at home for the time being. Anyway, in this huge world, there are not many people who really have contact and relationship with me.
It makes sense that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. But in fact, there is a missing sentence: the greater the ability, the greater the power, and at the same time, the greater the responsibility.
No matter how you think about it, I am still just the Jinyi Guard General Banner of Jianyi County under Longxing Mansion. I am in charge of two small banners. The people controlled by the small banners are just a small Jinyi Guards.
I have eliminated many shortcomings in Jianyi, used intelligence to kill the demons hidden in the underground rivers of Jianyi, and wiped out the grain boat gang that has oppressed the people for many years...
Judging from my position, I have done enough.
I have not sorry for others, nor for myself. I have tried my best.
Every day I use these words to convince myself, but in fact I still feel a little bit unwilling in my heart.
Maybe it’s the shortcomings of time-travelers, or maybe it’s the baptism of five thousand years of Chinese culture. The culture of my country has taken root in my heart.
Protecting the small family and giving up everyone else seems reasonable from the perspective of personal interests, and I can't do much.
When this choice is really made, everyone will still have a little bit of regret in their heart.
I gave up, but I didn't give up completely. At least I was still paying attention to the situation in Jianyi and its surrounding counties.
People still go missing in the rivers every day, but they are all trivial matters because not many people report them, or there is no habit of reporting them in various places.
The Yamen has been open to the south since ancient times, so no one can come in if they have reason or no money.
This slang, which was spread for unknown reasons, is not widely spread at the official level, but it is widely spread among the people.
Except for places such as Jianyi and Xingguo, which Ruihai has dealt with, other areas are indeed yamen that do not experience too many things all day long.
Moreover, many people do not get a response even if they file a lawsuit with the government. When ordinary people go to local wealthy families, they often end up in failure. Over time, this option is excluded from the hearts of many ordinary people.
I am still concerned, and there is a fire burning in my heart, but I don’t know where to turn it.
I will go to some rivers where people have disappeared, walk around them, and kill monsters.
But it seems that's all that can be done.
Occasionally slaying demons in Jianyi and surrounding areas has become a habit of mine.
And during this peaceful waiting, Rui Hai's position was transferred again.
I don’t know who stirred that little butterfly, but Rui Hai was not promoted to governor of Yangzhou.
Instead, he was transferred to Jiujiang and became the prefect.
I was confused, the future was uncertain, and it was being changed inadvertently.
But I don't know the reason, nor do I know it.
However, this did not hinder the normal development of things. Ruihai took the initiative to transfer me there and made me the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang Prefecture. The positions and management personnel remained the same, but in fact I was promoted in an exceptional way.
After all, Jianyi is just a remote, remote corner of the country, while Jiujiang County is an important transportation road, has an extremely prosperous economy, and is a place of government.
It's like I rose to a big level out of thin air.
But I don't feel safe in my heart, nor do I feel very happy.
Because I found that there was no way for me to quit.
Rui Hai is still moving forward, and I have promised Rui Hai before that I will walk side by side with him, at least for a while.
It's not that easy to get off the boat on Ruihai.
No matter how uncomfortable the situation is, you still have to keep moving forward.
On the first day I took office, my immediate boss had a big problem. Xue Cheng, the rising star of Jinyiwei, who had just been promoted to Jiujiang County Hundred Households, was attacked by evil spirits and seriously injured.
The entire Jinyi Guards House became restless, and that night, I saw Xue Cheng who was intact.
He was accompanied by his three uncles and another six-door bronze medal catcher. In a hidden corner, he led the elite Jin Yiwei to negotiate.
"I have discovered traces on the other side, and we will organize a raid tonight."
I was speechless.
The map Xue Cheng pointed to was the hidden demon base.
