Song Shisan felt that he should leave Geling immediately. This place he once thought he had adapted to was prosperous and beautiful, but also full of crises.
The abilities he displayed in Dongbo were infinitely amplified because of the uniqueness of that place.
But after arriving at Geling, this ability was completely exposed.
Sometimes, Geling is like a huge demon mirror. Song Shisan once saw a businessman reveal his true colors under the demon mirror. Today, he also revealed his true colors.
He wanted to leave but didn't dare, because at this moment he was exactly the same as the businessman who was forced to hang on the crooked neck tree.
He knew that he was being watched to death, and the Cui family would closely monitor his every move.
When the young masters of a family have more cultivation strength than him, it is enough to say that there are more people in this family who are more powerful than him.
Before he returned to Geling, he thought that with his own ability, even if he failed to meet his expectations, he could escape unscathed.
Looking back at it now, no wonder Wanyu Tower asked him to deal with trivial matters in the world.
Because Wanyu Tower knows very well that people like Song Shisan cannot get on the stage in Geling City.
If Wanyu Tower had let Song Shisan deal with more difficult matters without any consideration at that time, Song Shisan would not have gone to Cui's house blatantly this time.
When he returned to the inn, he realized that he still underestimated the Cui family's strength.
Because there was already someone waiting in his room.
It was a man who looked about thirty years old, standing in his room like a javelin stuck in the floor.
"Who are you?"
Song Shisan, who had just suffered a big loss, did not dare to show off anymore, but asked in a very soft voice.
The man replied: "My young father-in-law said, let me teach you about a kind of bird."
"bird?"
Song Shisan didn't understand.
The man said: "Didn't you say that you came back from Dongbo? Then you should know that there are many ferocious beasts in the swamps of Dongbo."
Song Shisan nodded.
The man said: "There is a very small bird that lives by eating the carrion left by ferocious beasts. Occasionally, it will stand in the mouth of ferocious beasts and peck some residue from the gaps between its teeth."
Song Shisan understood that he was now the kind of bird the Cui family saw.
And the Cui family are those ferocious beasts.
He leaned over and asked: "Excuse me, what do you want me to do?"
The man replied: "Lin Fangchu, who is not afraid of you, made an appointment to meet the young master on the Qingyu River tomorrow night, but the young master does not want to see him."
Song Shisan nodded: "I understand."
He didn't even dare to refuse.
"very good."
The man with Han Feng's temperament looked into Song Shisan's eyes and said, "My name is Qi Ai, and we will meet often in the future."
He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and placed it on the table: "The banknotes are here. When the heads are placed here tomorrow night, you can take them away."
After saying that, Qi Ai turned around and left.
Song Shisan walked over and looked at the banknotes on the table. He really didn't dare to pick them up directly.
But the amount of the banknote at the top is a huge amount of money that an ordinary family could not obtain in three lifetimes of hard work. There is a stack of such banknotes here.
He knew that he and Cui Fanye had spoken so many words. If there was only one sentence that moved Cui Fanye and became the reason why he could leave the Cui family alive, it was that sentence... The appearance of outsiders, in Geling
The city will be easier to use.
Cui Fuye asked him to kill Lin Fangchu just to check whether he, an outsider, had the strength worth using.
It was when he was thinking about this that he discovered that the bottom of the pile of banknotes was not a banknote, but a piece of paper.
After much hesitation, he pulled the piece of paper out from under the banknote.
There is not a word on this piece of paper, but a very random painting, but it can be seen that the painting is of three woods.
The difference between the three woods is that they are different in size, from small to large.
Song Shisan sat down and looked at this painting and fell into deep thought.
Just now, the man named Qi Ai asked him to kill Lin Fangchu.
Forest......
Song Shisan recalled that when he was at Cui's house, Cui Fuye asked him if he dared to kill Lin Ye.
Forest......
Song Shisan frowned, San Lin, then who is the third Lin?
After a while, he came to his senses. There were three woods, and the smallest one was Lin Fangchu.
The second larger piece of forest is Lin Ye. The largest forest, which can be bigger than Lin Ye, can only be Lin Mu Mansion.
Thinking of this, Song Shisan took a deep breath.
Killing Lin Fangchu shouldn't be a problem. Even if he is the owner of a very powerful trading company, no matter how difficult it is to deal with, he is still just a businessman.
Lin Ye......
Song Shisan thought for a long time, and he was sure that he could not kill Lin Ye.
Then jump away from the forest leaves?
At the same time, Zhenyuan Palace and the Imperial Study Room.
Lin Mufu was sitting opposite the Emperor, looking down at the chessboard in front of him with awe in his eyes.
"My lord, I am no longer a match for Your Majesty."
Lin Mufu sighed: "Ten years ago when I played against His Majesty, I could barely parry it. Now, I can't even see a chance. I have tried my best and found that there are dead ends everywhere."
The emperor also smiled.
"My chess skills back then were taught by Mr. De Ge."
The emperor stood up, there was no need to play anymore, Lin Mufu could not win this game.
While moving his body, he said: "I still remember that Mr. Ge once said to me that a teacher is not worthy of admiration the more people he teaches, but he deserves admiration if he teaches the right people."
He turned back to look at Lin Mufu: "I still remember that Mr. Ge not only told me what a teacher should be like, but also what an elder should look like."
The emperor brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lin Mufu.
"At that time, you told me that I should be more tolerant towards the younger generation. Even if this person has done something wrong, as long as the goal is right, don't be too harsh."
Lin Mufu stood up quickly and said: "I was talking nonsense at that time. Every time I think about what I said in front of His Majesty, I regret it so much that I can't sleep."
The emperor smiled and said: "How can this be nonsense? These are all good words."
He looked at Lin Mufu and said: "I was thinking at that time, as long as a person's goal is right, if he makes some small mistakes while walking towards the goal, it is indeed worthy of forgiveness. As long as the original intention is still there, how wrong can it be?
go."
"I thought again, a person has done many wrong things, but if he does one bigger thing right, it should be able to offset the previous wrong things."
Lin Mufu was shocked.
He vaguely guessed what the emperor was going to say.
The emperor's meaning should be... No matter how many wrong things you have done before, even if you brought the late emperor to Geling, you had another purpose.
But, after all, it was you who received the late emperor from Geling, and that’s why we became the current emperor.
This one right thing can offset many wrong things.
The emperor sat down and said in a calm tone: "I asked Xumi Pianruo to come into the palace yesterday, and I told him the same thing. Does Mr. Ge know why I said this to him?"
Lin Mufu leaned over and said: "I dare not speculate on the Sacred Heart, but if your Majesty asks, I will boldly make a guess."
He raised his head and looked at the Emperor: "Is it because the case currently being investigated by Dali Temple involves too many people?"
The emperor nodded, then shook his head, looking a little helpless.
The emperor said: "Today's young people are not easy to teach. They are not as obedient as when Mr. Ge taught me before. I was the same at that time, but am I obedient?"
Lin Mufu's heart tightened and hurt again.
He looked at Lin Mufu: "Young people today dare to talk back, argue, and question whether what I say is correct."
The Emperor said: "Xumi Pianruo said, if a right thing can offset a wrong thing, then why do we need national laws? Just burn the code and just do things according to human feelings."
"He also said that if one big good thing can offset countless small bad things, then is it true that if you give some life-saving money to a sick person, you can wipe out the sins of stealing other people's life-saving money countless times before?
Are they all offset?"
"He also asked, is it possible for an elderly man who committed all kinds of evil in his youth to start fasting and chanting Buddha's name in his later years, so that he can resolve his previous sins?"
The emperor smiled: "Look at these young people now, they make me speechless."
Lin Mufu's heart was trembling, and the trembling became more and more severe.
He knew that the emperor had reminded him enough, and it was almost as if he was telling him something clearly.
But he didn't dare to say directly at this time... I was indeed involved in Liu Jigong's case.
Because once he admits it, the number of people involved in this matter will be terrifying.
"Your Majesty is right. Today's young people do lack some respect."
After hearing these words, the emperor's eyes drifted slightly, and some faint disappointment flashed away.
He looked at Lin Mu's Mansion: "What is the awe that Mr. Ge is talking about?"
Lin Mufu said quickly: "What I'm talking about is Master Xumi's respect for Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded: "You are right, people should be in awe, and it is only natural that ministers should be in awe of me."
He suddenly asked Lin Mufu: "But...what should I fear?"
Lin Mufu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
It stands to reason that with his knowledge and experience, it is not difficult to answer such a question. He can always say something colorful to deal with it, and at least it will sound beautiful.
But what the emperor said just now had already confused his mood, and he could not react in time.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the emperor didn't intend to ask further questions.
The emperor said: "I also asked myself, I am the emperor who everyone in the world should fear, so what should the emperor fear?"
He said: "I should also fear the emperor."
Lin Mufu raised his head, his eyes a little confused.
The emperor said: "The emperor should fear the emperor more. If he doesn't, he will definitely be a foolish king. I have thought about it, but I can't find a particularly suitable word to sum it up. I can only use the word "duty" to sum it up.
almost."
The duty of being an emperor.
Lin Mufu was about to say something, but the emperor didn't want to say anything anymore.
He looked at Gu Xiujin and said, "Mr. Ge is already old. Please arrange carriages and horses to send him back to rest."
This made Lin Mufu swallow back the words that were on his lips, leaned over and said: "I thank your Majesty, I take my leave."
When he came out of the imperial study, Lin Mufu suddenly felt that it was really too cold in early spring.
The cold is even worse than the past winter. No wonder an old friend said that we should be in awe of the late spring cold.
The winter that has passed for more than ten years has given all the chill to the spring that will come more than ten years later.
He finally understood where he had gone wrong.
The mistake was that they all guessed wrongly when the emperor would stop.
Everyone judged that the emperor should stop after getting rid of Tuoba Lie.
But at this time, Lin Mu's Mansion belatedly discovered that getting rid of Tuoba Lie was not the emperor's intention to stop, but the emperor's just move.
In the past twenty years, the emperor seemed to have been taking action constantly, but in fact he was just practicing for the next twenty years.
It's like a swordsman who only practices drawing a sword and stabbing. He has been drawing a sword and stabbing for the past twenty years.
But those things that were stabbed were sparring partners, not targets.
