The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 318 Conscience Online
But Ling Xiao didn't feel that the other party's conscience was on the line.

If Jiao Shangshu had a conscience, he would not have sent someone to break the embankment.

In fact, many people who are officials will forget their original intentions after being an official for a long time.

The common people who yearn for honest officials always call them their parents.

I hope that those who are officials will treat the people below with the love of parents.

In many cases, officials will indeed say that they are the parents of the people for the sake of their political achievements.

Most officials want the filial piety of the people under them, and they must obey every government order issued by them.

They never thought of leveling a bowl of water at all, and they belonged to the kind of parents who favored very few children.

Those children who don't like it will work hard to squeeze out the last drop of benefits from their bodies.

And the squeezed flesh and blood were used to support officials and their beloved children, and they boasted that they did their best.

Just like this Jiao Shangshu, after hearing Ling Xiao's words, there was no conscience torment, some were the kind of anger of being exposed.

Ha ha!Ling Xiao can naturally feel that the other party doesn't have any thoughts of repentance, but also thinking about how to erase the traces of sin?

Fortunately, Ling Xiao didn't overestimate the other party's moral bottom line. In fact, the members of the Jiao family had already broken through the bottom line of the law, but they would still be safe and sound.

Ling Xiao knew this a long time ago, but she still tried Jiao Shangshu. After knowing the result, she was not disappointed at all. She had no hope at the beginning.

If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. In addition, Jiao Shangshu has always advertised himself as an official from the people over the years, and he is definitely the kind of person who loves the people like a son.

As a result, today Ling Xiao pointed out that he was wrong about the Tao family. The Tao family was innocent at all. The crime of breaking the embankment for selfish desire and causing the flood did not exist at all, and his revenge was unreasonable.

How could he admit it?This completely subverted his previous cornerstone of revenge, that is to say, the revenge he wanted to carry out was a crime at all, so the retribution Ling Xiao just said made him feel even more harsh and he didn't want to face it.

After refusing to admit it, Ling Xiao pointed out what the Jiao family did. In order to covet the money of the rich, they even killed the pillars of other families, and then took the woman as a concubine. One day, someone will come and kill the entire Jiao family in the name of revenge, just like today.

"Haha! Let me see, how many family members died under the coercion of the Jiao family? Besides the Lu family, there was another time when a motorcade worth tens of thousands of dollars was directly robbed by your Jiao family. It’s a free grab, but a payment.”

At this point, Ling Xiao was amazed and only gave a penny.penny?Is it possible to buy a biscuit?No wonder he made such a fortune. This is simply the so-called no-capital business, a huge profit.

Thinking of this, she shook her head, flicked the stack of papers in her hand with her fingers, and looked at Jiao Shangshu with slightly slanted eyes, with a sense of contempt.

Jiao Shangshu, who has always advertised to be the master for the people, is nothing more than that, since she has to settle some accounts carefully, she will choose this time to meet him.

During this period of time, Ling Xiao has been very nervous, for fear that the emperor will let Shibaniang marry immediately, so there may be no chance to deal with the grievances with Jiao Shangshu?
Fortunately, the emperor said that he would wait for the weather to cool before marrying Ji Mo, so Ling Xiao naturally seized the time to deal with the problem, especially investigating all aspects of the Jiao family's situation.

Because Jiao Shangshu didn't investigate clearly, he calculated others at will, which always led to the death of a lot of innocent people in that natural and man-made disaster.

Ling Xiao, who strongly opposed this kind of behavior, naturally would not make the same mistake. She spent a lot of money and time to investigate the relevant situation.

As for Jiao Shangshu's personality evaluation, the key part is to inquire about him, and to investigate his situation clearly from various aspects.

This is because Ling Xiao doesn't want to judge a person's good or bad at will. Some people may look bad, but in fact they are not bad.

Soon the most superficial information arrived first, and Ling Xiao found that Jiao Shangshu suddenly seemed to be a good person.

First of all, he is one of the cleanest officials, and generally no one finds out that he accepts any bribes.

In the official office, he can be regarded as a relatively capable person, and he is more willing to support and support the backward, and has a good official reputation.

The first thing I feel is that Jiao Shangshu is a clear stream in the mudslide, which makes ordinary people very moved after reading it.

But Ling Xiao is not one of the ordinary people. There is a deep-rooted hatred between the original owner and him.

In this case, it is generally not easy to be fooled, and there is no filter from the beginning when looking at the other party.

It is impossible for her to let Jiao Shangshu go so lightly just because of several reports saying that Jiao Shangshu is good.

As for the reputation of incorruptibility, Ling Xiao also had some doubts.

In many cases, you need to dig deeper into the situation yourself.

Otherwise, how should I explain to the original owner in the future?
Following him, Ling Xiao began to investigate the situation of Jiao's family.

It turns out that Jiao Shangshu may be innocent, but his family is not.

In order to make the Jiao family prosperous, the Jiao family did a lot of crazy things.

Ling Xiao had to suspect that Jiao Shangshu should know something about what the Jiao family did.

But because he has always been mostly in the government office, it can also be said that he has not noticed any loopholes.

But no matter what, he is still responsible for negligence, and he can only reluctantly say that being an official is so-so.

The reason why his family has done so many bad things so boldly is because he is an official with real power.

Ling Xiao even suspected that his family members obeyed his words and oppressed others unscrupulously for money and self-interest.

The reason why he didn't have many bad deeds was not because he was so noble, but more likely because he didn't have a chance to make a move.

Ling Xiao glanced at Jiao Shangshu with a somewhat inquiring gaze. Judging from Tao's family affairs, she did not believe that he was innocent from the bottom of her heart.

A person who wants to be a good official will use all kinds of evidence to prove that the other party is indeed guilty after careful investigation even if he encounters a situation.

Instead of taking other people's guilt for granted, what's more, for the so-called personal revenge, he did not hesitate to hurt other people and did not regret it.

Even now, they keep saying: the innocent people involved are their own lives. This kind of double-standard GOU is really eye-opening.

Jiao Shangshu is still unwilling to give up at this moment, the dark hand left behind will be useless, which means that no one can save him, so will he just catch him without a fight?
cannot!Unexpectedly, this Tao family is so cunning, no wonder the old gods were there all the time, and they pretended not to hear when they heard themselves yelling loudly, hateful!He underestimated the Tao family.

Just now he thought that he could teach this immature Tao family a lesson, but now he can naturally see that the other party has already secretly dealt with the servants and bodyguards who may come, and he is happy for nothing.

It never occurred to him that he would meet a person in his own home who was sympathetic to both gentle and martial arts. He was also very thoughtful, and he had thoroughly investigated the affairs of Jiao's family. What did the other party want to do?
Ling Xiao had prepared long before she acted. She wanted to let the dignitaries in the capital know that sometimes don't think that with money and power, you can do whatever you want.

Before coming this time, she specially prepared some good things for the people in the capital, and she has been thinking about how to get revenge for this time.

Of course Ling Xiao knew that it was impossible to kill all those dignitaries who ignored human life. How many people would it take to kill?I'm afraid there will be a long river of blood in the capital.

If the original owner came back and knew that Ling Xiao dared to do something like this, I'm afraid the whole person would be frightened, and maybe he wouldn't dare to contact Ling Xiao for the so-called handover.

And Ling Xiao absolutely dare not leave this world without explaining anything, because the distance between her and her is too great.

She thought about the original owner's temperament, that kind of killing is definitely not something the original owner can do, will she be frightened to see the original owner?

In addition, she doesn't have the strength to kill someone instantly with one move, this body is still a mortal body, and she will have a mental breakdown.

Ling Xiao felt that if he did this, the original owner might not feel well in the years to come, and he would live with self-blame.

After thinking about it carefully, she prepared to present a super gift package to those dignitaries.

This is thanks to the last time I got a lot of recipes in the Xianxia world, and the raw materials are very abundant.

She refined a lot of strange things, there is a medicine called mirage.

Has a unique function: make the person who smells the fragrance fall asleep and start dreaming.

If this person belongs to the kind of very honest person, he is not afraid.

It was just a normal happy dream.

If it is a person who likes to do evil, what happens in sleep is just the opposite.

Being bullied will definitely make many people too scared to sleep after going to bed at night.

Of course, this was done to cover up one thing: she planned to have a good talk with Jiao Shangshu.

Seeing Jiao Shangshu's repeated denials and shaking her head, she said, "Then you still have the face to talk about the Tao family?"

There was a strong sense of sarcasm in her tone, she looked at Jiao Shangshu with an unconvinced expression, and smiled lightly.

"The Tao family has spent hundreds of years building embankments at their own expense during the dry season, so as to ensure that they will not be washed away every time the flood peak arrives."

"It can be said that they have sheltered a group of elders and folks. It is true that the Tao family cannot all be good people, but the Tao family has indeed done nothing wrong in this respect."

"It can even be said that there is great merit. If there is a hall of hell underground, you can see how many sins you have done? And will the sins you have done touch your ancestors?"

After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Jiao Shangshu's face changed several times. He wanted to say something, wanted to say that he didn't believe Ling Xiao at all, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

He was in a bad mood at the moment, because he didn't know what to say, and what he thought was a righteous thing, turned out to be his own fault!

No, no, no, it was not his fault anyway, of course Jiao Shangshu didn't want to admit that it was his fault that he drowned the Tao family, he couldn't have done something wrong.

But he knew very well in his heart that there might be a real mistake, Jiao Shangshu's body was shaking a little, how could things develop to this point?
She has always advertised herself as a person of high morals, even if she did something against her heart, she had no choice but to do so.

It was the surrounding environment that forced him to make the choice. He has always lived without reason and confidence, and it was never him who was wrong.

Those who dared to point out that Jiao Shangshu was wrong, he tried his best to get rid of them, or he brought them out of the capital.

In fact, with the passage of time, he has undergone many changes, and he is no longer the person from the small village.

He accomplished the feat of a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, turning the little Jiao family into an official family.

He has become completely different from the one he used to be, and has his own confidence.

After marrying a wife and taking concubines, they gave birth to many children, and later gave birth to the next generation.

In his opinion, the entire Jiao family is about to prosper.

In his opinion, this is an achievement, but all this will be lost.

At this moment, Jiao Shangshu didn't want anyone to know what happened tonight.

His palm moved quietly, and at this moment he had a new plan.

He even felt that as long as Ling Xiao died, everything would return to the original track.

He is still Jiao Shangshu, the leader who single-handedly let the Jiao family step into the gate of power.

In order not to expose his target, Jiao Shangshu has only one thought in his mind: how to kill Ling Xiao.

And Ling Xiao felt the murderous intent of the other party, the other party was that kind of high-ranking official, so naturally he didn't have the ability to contain and release murderous aura freely.

After feeling the killing intent, she can be regarded as a person who has experienced many killing scenes, how could she not feel this killing intent?
She is now waiting for Jiao Shangshu's movements. Although they are very subtle, she has not stopped moving. She should think about how to move her body well.

Seeing Jiao Shangshu's body stagger suddenly, his whole body fell in one direction, while Ling Xiao, who had been standing with arms crossed, just watched and didn't want to move forward.

The corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, with an unspeakable joke, do you want to compare her mobility with her?OK!She wants to see what the other party can do?Watch his last struggle.

Seeing that he had fallen to the ground, when he rolled on the ground, he heard a sword cry, and drew out a sword. This should be placed here specially by Lord Shang Shu. In fact, Shang Shu has made a lot of grievances, and has also encountered Many assassinations.

This allowed him to have the experience of how to prevent assassinations, and it was the kind of experience that rapidly increased himself. There were several swords hidden in this study to prevent assassinations that could be encountered at any time.

And this time Ling Xiao's arrival was the most powerful one he had ever seen. Jiao Shangshu had a feeling that either you die or I die, so he naturally thought about how to kill Ling Xiao.

It's just that he didn't have a chance to see Ling Xiao's expression. If he really saw it, his first thought was not to attack, but to think about how to retreat and escape from the study.

I saw him get up quickly, and then swung his sword down with a roar. It could be seen that he had practiced before and was more agile than ordinary people.

There was no hesitation when the sword came down, and he had no intention of letting Ling Xiao go, this sword just wanted her to die quickly.

And seeing her standing there without moving, I don't know if she was surprised and couldn't move?Or something else?Something is wrong!

At this moment, Jiao Shangshu had a slight hesitation towards Ling Xiao, but quickly abandoned this somewhat weak idea.

Her arrival is in danger of destroying the Jiao family. In his eyes, the Jiao family is the most important existence.

The other party can grasp so many things, they just want the Jiao family to die.

In the dead family?It's still the simple multiple-choice question of Ling Xiao's death.

He had no other choice but to keep his family.

There are very few people who can kill relatives righteously.

Naturally, he is not the kind of person with noble thoughts.

If you choose to let Ling Xiao die, you can keep the entire Jiao family.

Also keep your own reputation, this choice is inevitable.

As for whether the Tao family should die?In his eyes there is no problem.

It's normal to kill wrongly. After he himself became an official, not all of his men were clean.

Originally, there were a few unjust souls, and if they wanted to advance in official career, they would inevitably do dirty things.

If you want to be promoted faster than others, in addition to learning, it is more about relying on your own political skills.

He ran out to work alone, so he didn't have many connections, even if he married a wife who had some connections at home.

But his Yue's family also had their own children, so they naturally wanted to take care of their own family, so they got to Jiao Shangshu, the son-in-law.

Jiao Shangshu was really unhappy about this, because after playing around in the officialdom, he knew that what he lacked most was connections.

He wanted more opportunities to climb up, so he shot at Yuezhang's family. As for those uncles?Since it is in his way, it is natural to get rid of it.

In the end, he took the resources of the Yue family into his hands. Anyway, no one would know that his brother-in-law did it. In the end, he gained a firm foothold in the officialdom.Later, just in case, the original wife and her natal family died under his calculations, and then married a wife with more resources.
