Hai Dongqing picked up the wine bowl, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped the wine from his mouth and whispered: "That's it, isn't it? This is my last meal, isn't it?"
"
Lin Jue nodded lightly, sighed and said: "Master of the Dazhai, why do you need to ask? After asking, do you still have a good appetite? If I were you, I wouldn't ask at all. Let's eat meat and drink."
Hai Dongqing laughed and said: "You have underestimated us. I will not lose my appetite. In this case, I will not let you have this meal. This pot of meat and this jar of wine are mine. You
But there is no share.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Yes, in addition, I have an extra glass of wine here. It's also yours, and I won't steal it from you."
Lin Jue took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, with a red wooden stopper on the bottle's mouth. He placed it gently on the table.
Hai Dongqing's eyes were a little panicked, and he stared at the white porcelain bottle with a timid look. He wanted to ask what kind of wine it was, but he didn't want to ask, because the answer would definitely turn off his appetite.
Hai Dongqing suddenly reached out and grabbed a piece of hot dog meat from the pot, tearing it into big mouthfuls. From time to time, he picked up the wine jar and took a few sips. The soup and wine he ate was dripping with water. His mouth and beard were all messed up, and he was making noises while eating.
A low roar like a beast.
Lin Jue looked expressionlessly at Hai Dongqing eating and drinking crazily, sitting there motionless. Suddenly, Hai Dongqing put down the wine jar, stretched out his sleeves to wipe his mouth clean, looked at Lin Jue with wide eyes and said: "Lin
Jue, you have to admit that I, Hai Dongqing, have lived a life worth living and lived to my core, right?"
Lin Jue thought for a while and nodded: "The leader of Dazhai has a great life, which is by no means an ordinary life. In terms of your personal life, you definitely live a decent and wonderful life. Many people live a mediocre life.
The life of the leader of Dazhai is so colorful."
"Hahaha, okay. Your words show that you are not a hypocritical person. So, can I be considered a hero?" Hai Dongqing laughed.
Lin Jue thought for a while, but this time he shook his head.
"What? I'm not a hero? I, Hai Dongqing, have done so many great things, but I'm not a hero?" Hai Dongqing said angrily.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "What is a hero? If you show off your intelligence, you are called a hero; if you are courageous, you are called a hero. But that alone is not enough to be called a hero. Heroes are mostly admired by the world, because they are not only brave but also talented and different from others.
Ordinary people, and most of them have the ambition to serve the country and benefit the people. Whenever there is a crisis, a hero will appear and save the people from fire and water. Such people should be called heroes. Although the life of the leader of Dazhai has been ups and downs, Dazhai
Everything the Lord does is done by his own selfishness and brings disaster to the country and the people. If you call him a hero, you are dishonoring the name of a hero. If I were to use one word to describe you, I can only call you a great bandit. That is the best thing I can give you.
Good review.”
When Hai Dongqing heard this, he was furious and shouted: "Why? Why can't I be called a hero? Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished. I am also a person who does great things, and I am definitely not a robber. I want to follow Guo
Although I am defeated by those who compete for the world, I can't even be called a 'hero'? You are humiliating me in front of my face."
Lin Jue sneered and said: "Master of the Dazhai, don't deceive yourself. How can you be a rival to the current emperor? You are not even my opponent, why bother to put gold on your face? You have occupied the southeastern island for nearly twenty years, but
Have you made an inch of progress? In twenty years, you have not even occupied a piece of land in the interior. Is this called fighting for supremacy in the world? As soon as the imperial army arrived, the trees fell and the hozens dispersed. It is really hopeless. What's more, you ran away.
Colluding with foreign enemies, confusing the people, and using evil cults to gather people to cause chaos. This is an extremely despicable act. Colluding with foreign enemies to cause trouble in the Zhou Dynasty is the most despicable act. If you really pull up an army to fight against the imperial court, you will be allowed to
People admire you. It's a pity that you took a shortcut that is despised by the world. Think about it, are you worthy of the two words hero? I am quite polite to you, but if I say it unkindly, I would call you a "evil thief"
'There are two words to describe you."
Hai Dongqing glared at Lin Jue angrily, like a wild beast that was about to pounce, his breathing was hissing, and his evil look was evident. Lin Jue was not afraid and looked back at him coldly. After a while, Hai Dongqing withdrew his gaze and sighed loudly.
"Well, there is nothing to say. The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. I lost. You call me a bandit or a thief. I have nothing to say. If I win, what should you say? If so.
I, Hai Dongqing, defeated Bianliang, captured Guo Chong, and became the emperor. I am afraid that you will have to prostrate yourself in front of me. I have seen through you people. You talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact it is all bullshit."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Master of Dazhai, it's not me who is attacking you. It's just because of your unjust behavior that you will never succeed. Don't say that the current situation of Dazhou is not yet in a state of crisis. Even if Dazhou is on the verge of collapse,
You will not be the one who can conquer the world. There has never been an unjust person who has conquered the world, and there has never been a person who colluded with foreign enemies to conquer the world. Even if you succeed, it will only be a flash in the pan."
Hai Dongqing said solemnly: "I won't argue with you. You have read books, are full of knowledge, and are sharp-tongued. I may not be able to argue with you. But you may not know what I know. I have seen what this world is like.
World. You people talk so much, but how many of you really understand the pain of the people at the bottom? For you, this world is full of flowers and orioles singing and dancing. For us, this is a cold and ruthless world where the weak and the strong prey on the strong. If we don’t work hard for a day, we will see
The sun will not shine tomorrow. Therefore, we must use all our abilities to fight, even if there is a slight chance, we will fight. We don’t care about the righteousness or the important issues. We have to struggle to survive, so any way we can
We will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal. Have your parents been forced to death by officials? Have you ever laid down in a puddle full of mud to load a stone on a cold night to avoid being chased by the officials?
Have you ever been betrayed by the people around you. One moment they call you brother and sister, and the next moment they stab you in the back? Huh! You have never experienced anything, how can I expect you to understand what I am doing? Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are not benevolent.
I'm just a rotten dog. I don't believe in God's mercy, I only believe in myself."
When Hai Dongqing talked about his anger, he picked up the wine jar and drank a few big gulps. He opened his mouth and spit out the smell of alcohol, and looked at Lin Jue sideways.
"But, is this the reason why you can treat the fate of others like pigs and dogs, and push people who live miserable lives like you into a pit of fire?" Lin Jue said coldly after hearing Hai Dongqing's words: "You know the suffering of the common people.
, we should not add salt to the pain of the common people. Tell me what you have done for them? When you were a pirate, you harassed coastal villages and towns, burned, killed and looted, intercepted ships, killed fishermen, and blackmailed merchants.
Have you alleviated the suffering of the people or increased the suffering of the people? Now you have created a youth religion to deceive the people and persuade them to die one by one. Fifty or sixty thousand people died this time in the five counties of Beijing, East and West Road, and North of Beijing
There are so many, most of them are innocent people, how do you explain it? You are so shameless that you let them give up their family assets, wives and daughters for your sexual pleasure. What you do is not for your own selfishness, but in the eyes of the people
Adding more suffering to the situation? In the final analysis, you are not doing it for yourself? Why bother talking about the suffering of others?"
Hai Dongqing shouted loudly: "So what? People will be punished if they don't do it for themselves. Is it wrong for me to seek life for myself? They can do this too, they can do this to me. It's just that they are stupid and timid.
They deserve to be oppressed and enslaved by me. They deserve to die for me."
Lin Jue sneered: "This is your heart, so there is no need to give high-sounding reasons. Don't use your misery as an excuse for the harmful things you have done in your life. You just have to do it for yourself."
That’s all, you don’t care about the life or death of others. This is what I said about you not having the moral obligation to serve the people. The big flag you put up on the island to uphold justice for heaven is just a slogan, and the so-called slogan put forward by the Qingjiao to redeem all people is also just a slogan.
It's just a slogan. You have no intention of doing anything for the poor people. So you have ended up where you are today. Don't you understand now? You are not worthy of talking about other people's sufferings, because you are one of the reasons why the people suffer.
"
Hai Dongqing glared at Lin Jue fiercely, suddenly lowered his head and muttered something, reached out and grabbed the dog meat in the pot and started chewing it. He didn't want to talk to Lin Jue any more, because he found that what he was thinking in his heart was in Lin Jue's eyes.
There is no way to hide in front of you. You can't argue again and again, and your dark and dirty heart is exposed. It's not worth doing this.
Lin Jue didn't say much. He folded his arms and watched Hai Dongqing wolfing down the food in silence. Hai Dongqing ate quite a lot. The hind legs of a black dog had seven or eight kilograms of meat, and he ate them up piece by piece.
There were pieces of bones thrown on the ground. A jar of Nuerhong weighed more than three kilograms, and he drank it all.
Finally, the meat was gone, the wine was gone, and Hai Dongqing's belly was full. He burped several times, wiped his mouth randomly, and stopped.
"Are you full?" Lin Jue asked.
"I'm full." Hai Dongqing's face smelled of alcohol and his body was swaying.
"Very good. Master Dazhai, you and I have an agreement. The imperial court sent someone to ask me for help. The emperor wanted to execute you in Lingchi, but I blocked it. I will certainly fulfill my promise to you.
Promise. During this period, you have helped me a lot and redeemed a lot of your sins. I think you have awakened to something. I hope you will be a good person in the next life. Let’s say goodbye. That porcelain bottle
The poison is the poisonous medicine Soul-Severing Water. After drinking it, there will be no pain or suffering, and you will be dead in a dozen breaths. Just drink it." Lin Jue said calmly.
Hai Dongqing stared at the white porcelain bottle, his eyes full of fear. He thought he was not afraid of death, but when death came to an end, he discovered that he was so afraid.
Under the pressure of Lin Jue's gaze, Hai Dongqing stretched out his trembling hand towards the poison porcelain bottle. The moment his fingers touched the porcelain bottle, he quickly retracted as if being set on fire.
