stand back, let me come

Chapter 1307: Welcoming the King's Division (Part 1307) [Seeking monthly pass]

The woman's grievances were not complicated.

The trigger for the annihilation of the family was the discovery of some valuable things in her fields. The whole family was extremely excited, hoping to pawn some of the money to buy food, clothes and bedding for the winter, and keep the rest for the purchase of seeds, rental of farm tools and oxen for the spring plowing next year.

Adults can keep their mouths shut and know that they shouldn’t show off their wealth, but how can children of a few years old be so wary?
Within two days, it was known that this family had made an unexpected fortune.

After a few days of surveillance, I basically figured out what was going on.

What follows is a routine of plundering and robbery.

The bully in the village intended to rob someone, and injured someone during the dispute. He had to give up temporarily because he was worried about causing death. The bully went back and became more and more unwilling to give up. He came up with a vicious plan - fabricating that this family had robbed the ancestral tomb of a wealthy family. How could the family sit still after hearing the news? They sent the head of the mansion to inquire about it. The good news was that it was not an ancestral tomb, but even better news was that it was a big tomb!
The owner of the tomb has no descendants.

Whoever occupied the land on the cemetery could legitimately own the burial objects in the tomb. At this point, the matter was simple. If the family gave some compensation, the subsequent tragedy might have been avoided. However, they were unwilling to pay even this little cost. They directly sued the official and falsely accused the woman's family of stealing the ancestral tomb. They also took out a few pawn deeds and wanted to get the matter done without spending a penny.

The woman and her family were imprisoned.

He was beaten to death by bribed jailers on the same day he went to jail.

The woman had a stomach bug and escaped the arrest. On the day her family's bodies were thrown back, she cried so hard that she almost went blind. A nearby expert heard about this and told her that someone could help her get justice. The woman was overjoyed and was ready to seek justice after burying her family, but the expert stopped her and said, "You have buried them all, so you don't have any evidence!"

The old woman was at a loss as to what was going on.

Her whole family is dead, how can there be no evidence?

Would I risk the lives of my entire family by lying to the officials?
The old woman was at a loss for a moment, hoping that the master could help her come up with an idea and tell her what to do to make the official believe her and help her get revenge? She suddenly remembered the rumors she had heard before, which seemed to allow her to take the corpse with her...

but--

She was old and weak, and she might die on the way alone, not to mention carrying several bodies. Wouldn't that be like delivering food to the wolves and tigers on the road? The villagers were afraid of being associated with her family, so they would not help her. The old woman was disappointed, and the expert pointed out a clear way for her: [… It is definitely not convenient to carry several people on the road, but it is okay to carry a head and a hand. ]

The old woman was shocked when she heard this!

I didn't dare to agree at all.

The family had died such a tragic death, and now they were to be mutilated, how could she bear it? The master also wanted her to cut off their heads, hands and feet with her own hands, wasn't this just trying to tear her heart apart alive?

The expert sighed and explained things to her bit by bit.

She said: "You go alone to seek justice, you have nothing to prove, and you are likely to be bitten back. Look at this world, how many families are more pitiful and miserable than yours? So many people are waiting for justice, when will it be your turn? If you drag the bodies of your entire family to seek justice, you will be dragged to death before you even walk two miles! But it will be different if you go with your head, you are the mother, if it is not a great injustice, what mother would be so cruel as to cut off the bodies of her own flesh and blood and let them die without a complete corpse?"

Precisely because it is shocking enough, there is a glimmer of hope.

The old woman fainted from crying several times.

Finally, I made up my mind and decided to go all out.

She followed the direction pointed out by the expert and walked and walked. She didn't remember how long or how far she walked. She drank muddy water when she was thirsty and ate grass roots when she was hungry. She relied on her obsession to get here. She heard that there was free porridge nearby, so she came to ask for a bite. Perhaps it was because she was close to the destination, or perhaps it was the aroma of hot porridge that touched her nerves, and her consciousness began to become chaotic.

Someone behind her pushed her.

She didn't react until she fell to the ground.

Shen Tang knew everything that happened afterwards.

Gong Yang Yongye was moved by the part about cutting off her own children with her own hands, but he was indifferent to the rest of the story. This kind of thing was too common in troubled times, and the old woman's luck was even good.

At least, she could live to this age without having to suffer the pain of having her entire family wiped out.

At least, she was still alive to come and complain.

"...The person who gave her instructions was quite clever."

There are too many injustices in the world. If we don’t find a way to “stand out”, the day when our injustices are redressed will be a long way off.

The common people are like ants.

It is as difficult to convey the affairs of ants to God as it is to ascend to heaven.

Even if Shen Tang didn't witness what happened today, it might have reached her ears, which is much better than having no hope at all.

The person who came up with the idea has some talent.

"What is Shen Jun going to do?"

In Gongyang Yongye's opinion, the best outcome for the old woman would be for Shen Tang to issue orders and have his men thoroughly investigate the government officials handling the case, arrest the jailer who took people's lives lightly, and take the opportunity to punish the family by killing a few people.

Shen Tang placed the letter upside down on the table.

Said: "What can we do? Of course we have to make a big fuss about it!"

Gongyang Yongye didn't understand, but he found that Shen Tang's ministers understood. He was too embarrassed to get to the bottom of it, and felt quite unhappy.

He shamelessly asked, "Why do you want to do it in such a big way?"

"Food alone cannot really win people's hearts. If a charlatan comes out one day and spreads a rumor that the food was not given by me, Shen Youli, but by God, who asked me, Shen Youli, to give it to them, and that they only need to be grateful to God and don't need to be grateful to me, then wouldn't I have raised a group of ungrateful people? They can eat your food today, but they will eat someone else's food tomorrow. There is no psychological burden for them to turn their backs on you. While the legacy of the Eternal Life Church is not yet deep, we should eradicate it as soon as possible and win over the hearts of the people completely."

Gong Yangyongye: "You are quite knowledgeable."

The teachings of the Church of Eternal Life do not seem so outrageous.

"I am more curious about how you plan to win people's hearts." In Gongyang Yongye's view, winning people's hearts is nothing more than the word "interest". As long as the interests are in place, what can't be bought? In this regard, he and Shen Tang have completely opposite ideas. Shen Tang said: "Didn't the master give the answer?"

It’s that simple to seek justice.

It's not just about seeking justice for the old woman!
Anyone who has suffered grievances can come to her!
Help those who have been wronged to seek justice, provide food and clothing to the hungry and cold, and later distribute land to them so that they can recuperate, a set of smooth little combos.

"Anyway, my knife has already seen blood. There is no essential difference between killing one and killing a hundred, killing enemies on the battlefield and killing insects off the battlefield. If I don't start a killing spree now, shall I wait until the situation calms down?" The old woman gave her a perfect excuse. Who would not be moved to hear a mother being forced to cut off the bodies of her children with her own hands to seek justice?

"You are not afraid of death?"

Gong Yangyongye thought Shen Tang was too reckless.

But her current power does provide her with the capital.

Shen Tang: "There is only a head that my knife cannot chop off, there is no one I dare not chop off. The Marquis doesn't understand me well enough."

What's the difference between being afraid of death and not being afraid of death?

If she was afraid of death, she wouldn't have set up such a makeshift troupe.

Along the way, hasn't anything she done been seeking death?

Shen Tang's action was beyond Gong Yangyongye's imagination. He issued orders to occupy land in various places that day. The next morning, a notice board was erected near the porridge shed. The hungry people were illiterate, so the guards dictated the content on it. Most people didn't dare to believe it was true.

It was not until two days later that all of the old woman's enemies were imprisoned.

Mr. Shen personally tried the case.

The news spread like wildfire.

"Any news about that 'expert'?"

Shen Tang didn't care about the turmoil in the outside world, nor did she care about the fierce resistance in the areas that had not yet been conquered - a group of people had dirty tricks, and when they saw Shen Tang trying to seek justice for others, those who knew their own troubles would naturally be afraid - she was most curious about that "expert".

The person who could come up with such an idea, whether he was really helping the old lady or deliberately creating problems for Shen Tang, had to be known. Unexpectedly, the person sent out came up empty-handed.

The hut where this person lived in seclusion was covered with a layer of dust.

It seems that no one has lived here for half a month.

Before she could be disappointed, things took a turn for the better.

Someone delivered a visiting card to the house where Chu Yao was temporarily staying.

The moment Chu Yao received the visiting card, he looked dazed. He stood up suddenly and even lost his clogs halfway, fearing that he would be late and drive the guests away. The guest did not leave. Seeing him like this, he smiled and said, "Wu Hui's demeanor is still the same as before."

The guest was well built, with gray hair and the frost of time on his eyes and eyebrows. He looked like he was in his early forties.

But Chu Yao knew very well that the other party was already in his twilight years.

"I never thought that you and I would meet again in this lifetime."

“I didn’t expect that either.”

The experience of fighting side by side seems like it was just yesterday.

The guest had a comrade-in-arms relationship with the young Chu Yao. The two conquered the Northern Desert together, and then went their separate ways. Talking about the past, both of them sighed. The guest learned that Wei Shou was not only alive, but also living a comfortable life in Kangguo. He couldn't help but say: "Alas, how could I have imagined the situation today? The Northern Desert, which has threatened us for hundreds of years, was solved just like this... It would be nice if it had been stable forever."

He was tired of fighting, so he left his hometown with his family and went into seclusion. With his protection, his descendants, although not very capable, managed to take root, multiply and live a relatively stable life. As his children passed away one after another, he was not close to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, so he moved to the mountains alone, where he lived in a quiet environment.

As he spoke, the guest suddenly mentioned a joke he made many years ago.

He asked Chu Yao if he had any grandchildren of the right age.

"You and I were engaged back then."

Chu Yao was embarrassed: "This, this... I am still single."

guest:"……"

This is very embarrassing.

Chu Yao asked his old friend why he suddenly mentioned marriage.

The old friend said, "Isn't it for my great-granddaughter? The child doesn't know how high the heaven is, and a woman wants to go out and explore the world... To be honest, I was injured too badly in my early years, and my life is coming to an end. I want to find someone to entrust her to."

He knew that Chu Yao had come out of retirement many years ago, but he did not visit him. Firstly, their friendship only lasted for a few months, and secondly, he had been away from the northwest for many years and he had not cared about Chu Yao during the years when he was in trouble. Now that he had become rich, it would not be nice to visit him again.

It really took me a lot of courage to visit you today.

If we could get married, that would be the best.

If you can't get married, at least you can make a good relationship.

People really shouldn't be too proud of themselves. I twisted my wrist in the gym today. Fortunately, no bones were broken, but my wrist is a little swollen and it will probably hurt for two days.

This results in today's update being relatively short.
