"The government?" The fat man sneered: "The government just bullies the common people! They don't dare to offend those big shots with deep backgrounds! Let me tell you, that Young Master Long is the son of Lord Hou, Lord Hou.
, He is a member of the royal family, even if the government is given ten courages, they would not dare to offend the Marquis’ son."
"The son of Lord Marquis?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "No wonder he acts so arrogantly and domineering, it turns out he has a big backer."
"This Young Master Long has a cruel personality and often bullies the people below. Over the years, he has killed not only a thousand but also eight hundred people. He has robbed, seduced women, beaten, smashed, killed and looted. He has done all kinds of evil!"
Toudaer said angrily.
"Is there no one who can cure him?" Ma Xiaoyao said angrily.
"Except for the prince and the emperor, no one can deal with Young Master Long. The key problem is...the prince and the emperor are not here at all. Even if you want to complain to them, there is no chance." Fatty sighed.
"That Young Master Long just understood this, so he acted so unscrupulously." Ma Xiaoyao said with a frown.
"That's it, I have to say goodbye beforehand." After saying hello to Ma Xiaoyao, the fat man and his big ears swayed away.
"Unfair things will happen in any era and anywhere." Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "After all, this is a society where the jungle is strong and the strong eats the strong. If you don't want to be angry, you have to find ways to improve your strength. As long as your strength is enough
Only when you are strong can others dare not bully you." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the old man who was still crying bitterly: "Take this old man as an example. If this old man has a noble status and is a royal relative, that dragon
Do you still dare to bully him?"
This is reality, cruel reality.
Out of compassion, Ma Xiaoyao stepped forward and helped the old man who was sitting on the ground crying bitterly, and persuaded him nicely: "Old sir, your things have been taken away. It's useless even if you are sad. You should take care of yourself.
Don't let your family worry."
"Young man, thank you." The old man stretched out his hand and wiped his tears: "If it is other things, you can take them, but not the jade Pixiu... It is an ancestral item of my family, passed down from our ancestors.
, it is an heirloom of my family and must not be lost..."
"Then what should we do? The things have been taken away." Ma Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile.
"I won't just let it go." The old man shook his head vigorously: "I'm going to file a complaint! No matter how much it costs, I will never let that Young Master Long go!"
"That Young Master Long is the son of the Marquis, and I heard he is a royal relative. Even if you go to the government to file a complaint, the government will not accept it," Ma Xiaoyao said.
"If the government doesn't dare to take care of it, I will file a complaint! Go to the Jinluan Palace to file a complaint!" the old man said angrily.
"Complain?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment: "This is no joke... I have heard that people who want to file a petition need to go through many tests and suffer a lot..."
"I'm not afraid!" The old man gritted his teeth and said word by word: "As long as you can get my jade brave back, even if you kill me, I will admit it!"
"You..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to persuade him again, but was interrupted by the old man.
"Young man, please stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind and I will never change it." The old man's attitude was very firm: "Young man, I can see that you are a warm-hearted and good person. I don't want to hurt you, but you still have to do it."
Go quickly, if Mr. Long sees you with me, it will definitely make things difficult for you."
Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "Old sir, I'm sorry, my ability is limited and I can't help you..."
"Don't say that, I'm very grateful that you can help me up and comfort me," the old man said.
"Old sir, I advise you not to act rashly. That Young Master Long has a profound background and is not that easy to deal with. If you let him know that you are going to file a petition, it will definitely be detrimental to you."
"Don't worry, I will protect myself. I won't act rashly until I am completely sure."
"Old sir, I have something else to do. I'm going to leave now. We'll talk to you later when we have a chance."
Looking at Ma Xiaoyao's leaving figure, the old man murmured to himself: "Good man, good man."
…
After returning to the inn, Ma Xiaoyao has been depressed and ignores others who talk to him.
Ma Xiaoyao's strange behavior attracted the attention of Yard Leng Rufeng: "Xiaoyao, why are you so depressed?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw a bad young man bullying an old man today, and I felt a little unhappy." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Leng Rufeng smiled slightly: "This is a normal thing! Don't forget, this is the imperial city. What has the most in the imperial city? The most officials! It is very common for those young masters, elder brothers and young ladies to do whatever they want with the power of their families.
.”
"Don't the higher-ups care about it?" Ma Xiaoyao said angrily.
"Control? How to control?" Leng Rufeng said with a smile: "If it is one or two people, you can still discipline them, but there are so many misbehaving young men and young ladies that it is impossible to manage them. As long as these young men and young ladies do not go too far,
The people above basically turn a blind eye."
"Infuriating!" Ma Xiaoyao waved his fist fiercely.
"This is the way the world is. The weak eat the strong. If you are weak, you are destined to be bullied by the strong. This is an eternal fact!" Leng Rufeng glanced at the frustrated Ma Xiaoyao: "If you can't stand it, just
Work hard to improve your strength. When you have supreme strength, you can modify the laws and formulate rules. In this way, the world will be much fairer."
"Revise the rules? Establish rules?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned.
"Yes." Leng Rufeng nodded: "There are two paths for people to live in the world. First, adapt to the current rules and be an honest person. Second, work hard to improve your strength and wait until your strength reaches a certain level.
After that, you can revise the laws, formulate rules, and get rid of all the things you don't like! Which path are you willing to take?"
"I..." Ma Xiaoyao was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Leng Rufeng smiled: "If you hesitate, it means you are ambitious! You are not willing to succumb to others!"
"Master...I..."
"I understand! I understand everything! When I was your age, I was also very ambitious and a master who set the rules. It's a pity...the reality is too cruel. I struggled for most of my life, and in the end I only became an academy student.
Dean... After such a long period of running-in, my ambition has also been worn away. Now, I just hope to live a smooth and stable life, and don’t want to make trouble anymore... But you are different, you still
When you are young, you still have time to squander. Youth is the greatest asset in life. You can fight and fight hard. Even if you lose, you can start over."
"Master, what you said is very profound, and my disciples don't understand it."
"Do you really don't understand? Or are you pretending not to understand?"
"I……"
"Think about it for yourself, I'm going for a walk." After saying a few words, Leng Rufeng left with his hands behind his back.
Ma Xiaoyao was sitting alone on a chair, his expression flickering. At this moment, what Leng Rufeng had just said kept flashing in his mind. Ma Xiaoyao's eyes became more and more determined: "Master is right, I can't bear to see what I'm seeing."
We must find ways to change this world! Sooner or later, I, Ma Xiaoyao, will re-enact the rules here! All the evil young men like Mr. Long who do all kinds of evil will be destroyed! Let the secret realm be peaceful!"
After being enlightened by Leng Rufeng, Ma Xiaoyao's mood improved a little. He felt bored sitting alone in the room, so he went out for a walk and didn't return to the inn until dinner time.
After finishing dinner with Leng Rufeng, Ma Xiaoyao returned to his room to rest.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Ma Xiaoyao was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he sat in the room and read a book for a while. This book was given to him by Leng Rufeng. It mainly explained the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body. Ma Xiaoyao read it like this.
I was so fascinated that after reading this book, Ma Xiaoyao understood a lot of things, and his horizons seemed to have broadened.
Reading in the morning and going out for fun in the afternoon, in Ma Xiaoyao’s words, is a “combination of work and rest.”
As soon as Ma Xiaoyao came out of the inn, he heard news, news that shocked him extremely... The old man who was robbed of the jade brave yesterday died, his wife and children also died, and the whole family of five was hanged at home.
It is said to be suicide.
Ma Xiaoyao didn't believe it, so he ran towards the old man's shop. When he came to the door of the shop, he found that the shop had been surrounded by the government. There were five corpses on the ground of the shop, one of which belonged to the old man yesterday.
When Ma Xiaoyao looked at him from this angle, he could clearly see that the old man had his eyes wide open and his expression was painful. He clearly refused to die with his eyes in peace!
"It's so tragic! All five members of the family died!"
"It must have been that Young Master Long who did it!"
"Shh... keep your voice down, if Young Master Long hears it, you will lose your life."
"It's so unreasonable!"
"The government has concluded that it was suicide. All five members of Lao Liutou's family committed suicide."
"Bullshit! Old Liu will commit suicide, his wife will commit suicide, his son and daughter-in-law will commit suicide, how can his one-year-old grandson commit suicide? Let me see if you let a one-year-old child commit suicide!"
"You don't accept it? Then go to the government to argue! What's the point of playing tricks with me here!"
"Fuck! I haven't lived enough yet. I won't go to the government to argue!"
"Isn't that Young Master Long too cruel? Not only did he steal someone else's jade brave, but he also killed everyone in his family. This is too cruel!"
"I heard that Old Liu Tou was going to complain, so Young Master Long killed them."
"It's really impossible to live in this world."
…
The people around were whispering and talking among themselves. Their voices were not loud enough for Ma Xiaoyao to hear clearly.
At some point, Ma Xiaoyao's fists clenched tightly! There were so many veins on the back of his hands that he couldn't even tell that his nails were digging into his flesh.
