Chapter 132 Going to the Forest (11)

Both Zhang Xing and Qin Bao are close to the completion of the main pulse. Killing a general banner and a yamen servant team will no longer need to hide and kill people, but the two are still cautious, changed their clothes, touched the place, and found out the situation. It was only in the middle of the night that he turned into the bedroom with his face covered, and then pretended to be a robber, tied up the woman and gagged her, and then took away the gold and silver.

In the end, he took the man out and killed him with a knife, and threw him into the courtyard, not forgetting the routine inscription... But Zhang Xing changed his name again, called Black and White Shuangsha, and specially inscribed it under the eaves... I don't know who they are Who is black and who is white?
After killing two people and confiscating the gold and silver, they took advantage of the rain and sent the gold and silver to Tongtuofang. The gold and silver were thrown into the Tianjie in fine pieces.

After finishing all this work, it was vaguely four o'clock. When the two returned home, the rain just stopped, and the stars were shining for a while. Qin Bao didn't know what happened. Instead of being tired, he simply accompanied Qin Erlang to add fodder to the two horses and one mule in the backyard, then went to the kitchen to fetch two bottles of wine, and sat on the south wall of Chengfufang together.

At this time, it was still dark, but Luoshui in the south of Chengfufang was full of people all night long, and even the Chengfumen Square on the west side of Chengfufang was still crowded with people.

That's right, whether it's raining or thundering, in mid-winter or early summer, there are still [-] official servants and official slaves working day and night in the Tongtian Tower.

And in the small pier square outside Chengfu Gate, it was naturally non-stop around the clock... It lasted for more than half a year, and everyone got used to it.

"I feel a little more refreshed?" Sitting on the high wall, Zhang Xing looked at Qin Bao who started to drink heavily, with a half-smile.

"It's fun, but I'm actually a little uneasy... It's not uneasy, it's just a little confused..." Qin Bao took a gulp of wine, and answered sincerely, his previous embarrassment and sickness seemed to disappear from his face. "I don't know what's going on. I've killed people with my third brother before, but I definitely wouldn't have such strange thoughts."

"Environment." Zhang Xing took a sip and said sincerely while looking at the misty Luoshui in the morning. "You used to be born in the Eastern Territory, where the folk customs are fierce. Wanting to be an official is just a thought, and it is still utilitarian, so you still have no entanglements in your bones. But you came to the Eastern Capital and became an official. In fact, it was smooth sailing, so I gradually integrated into the officialdom, and I started to talk about the rules in everything, and I like to think more... Today's matter, that is, it is just a matter of fact, those two people should be killed, so I still have fun. If it were something else illegal, you might not even be willing to come out with me."

"But third brother, is it good or bad to obey the rules?" Qin Bao paused for a moment and asked seriously.

"See if you recognize this rule..." Zhang Xing still answered calmly. "If you think this rule is generally good and right, then continue to follow this rule. There is no need to resist, but if you have experienced something at any time and feel that this rule is false, wrong, yes If it doesn’t work, then why keep it? It’s like today’s incident.”

"But..." Qin Bao obviously hesitated. "Why are the rules fake and unacceptable? Since the rules are rules, don't everyone recognize them? Even if I think it's not good, can I say it's fake?"

"Of course you can't just say it's fake or bad just because one person thinks it's bad." Zhang Xing finally laughed. "But there are indeed false, bad, and bad rules...and if you want to answer this question, you have to ask first, what are the rules for?"

Qin Bao was at a loss for a moment, not completely understanding, but vaguely understanding in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it.

"It's for the benefit of taking care of the most people." Zhang Xing replied immediately upon seeing this. "Let everyone get the greatest benefits overall, and let everyone get the most benefits on average... Therefore, in ancient times, the wise kings rebelled and conquered the world. When they came to one place, they made three chapters. The murderer died, the wounded and the thief was punished. It is the simplest and most suitable rule that can save everyone from casualties and financial losses, and it is also a universal rule that can immediately win people's hearts."

"Yes." Qin Bao nodded sincerely. "That's how it should be."

"Don't kill, don't steal, don't bully the weak, and then develop into helping the weak, helping the needy, hurting a pregnant woman and adding a crime, and a son hurting a father. These are the most basic rules and regulations. However, as more and more rules are gradually added, there will be situations where the rules fight, and the rules will become invalid..." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "The most important thing is that it is people who manipulate the rules. People's hearts can be good or bad... Once people's hearts are bad, you don't use this rule when you should use it, and you use that rule. There is a way."

Qin Baoruo suddenly realized.

"Besides that." Zhang Xing smiled. "The bad-hearted people have become stronger, their status has risen, and they have reached the point where they can establish rules. So what if they deliberately set up bad rules that bully others for their own self-interest? This is a fake rule. Although it is a blatant rule, it is obviously a fake one. rule."

Qin Bao looked at the faintly visible officials and servants, hesitant to speak.

"Don't get entangled, I just want to say one thing, should these two people be killed in accordance with the most fundamental rules today?" Zhang Xing also took a sip of his wine.

"It's time to kill!" Qin Bao said decisively.

"That's right, but why do we have to break the rules and kill people?"

"because……"

"Because the original rules are suppressed by the new rules, it has no effect, and the new rules are bad, wrong, and fake." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "According to the original basic rules, these two people should have been arrested and punished a long time ago, just like you said before that someone should be in charge of extortion... But there is no... So the two of us will break the rules of the public , according to the basic rules, be a law enforcement officer in private, and declare the canonical punishment in private."

Qin Bao let out a deep breath: "Yes...according to the rules, they should have been sent to prison, they should be killed and punished, but no one cares about them; and we seem to have broken the rules, but we are actually enforcing the right rules!"

"Look, it's as simple as that." As he said that, Zhang Xing raised the jug and bumped into each other in mid-air, and then the two drank a lot.

"Third brother."

"Ok?"

"How do you tell the real rules from the fake ones?" Qin Bao asked earnestly.

"Are you confused?" Zhang Xing was speechless. "Didn't you just say that? It's good to return to the original intention of establishing rules...the so-called everything must have a beginning, don't forget the original intention, roughly like this... It's just this original intention, not only the original intention of doing things here, but also the establishment of rules for the whole world original intention."

"I know this truth, but I'm stupid, and I can't always explain things and truths smoothly like the third brother." Qin Bao replied sincerely. "Please third brother teach me."

"Then let me try?"

"Ah."

"It's that sentence... Let's look at this rule first, whether it can protect the overall interests of everyone in the world..."

"nature."

"Then let's see if it can help improve the overall benefits of the people in the world, such as allowing the world to harvest more food, allowing more people to eat enough, allowing more people to study, practice, and relax. Appreciating calligraphy and painting, being able to communicate with one another... Actually, I am a little bit inarticulate, you should understand."

"Understood, understood."

"Finally, among the people in the world, sometimes the benefits are opposite. If you have more points, I will lose one point. At this time, we must go further and ensure that this rule protects the interests of the largest group in the world. effect."

Zhang Xing made a few sentences and said it casually, and this is also the basic general education he received since he was a child, the so-called immersion in the bone, the kind without thinking.

But perhaps because of the existence of such a model as Supreme, coupled with his background experience, Qin Bao of Neixiu was unexpectedly highly accepted.

"Is there any more?" Qin Bao thought and thought, and couldn't wait to ask again.

"Yes, but I will..." Zhang Xing spread his hands and continued to drink slowly. "In fact, if you think about a few supreme beings, you will know. Did they become supreme just because they did things according to this?"

"Really." Qin Bao sat on the wall of the square, thinking seriously. "So, in addition to the rules, can you use this to measure the quality of things?"

"Really?" Zhang Xing answered casually.

"How to measure it specifically? For example, the Great Golden Pillar of Xiutianshu is said to be the center of resetting the world, and the conquest of Dongyi is also for the unification of the world... It seems to be in line with some of the three, especially the unification of the world, and there will be no need for it in the future The suffering of conquests is best counted from anywhere, but why...why do we in the eastern border always feel that this is unspeakably miserable?" Qin Bao asked sincerely.

"This is the crux of the problem, as I said before." Zhang Xing was surprised by the other party's quick response, but he was helpless. "A thing and a rule seem to be good, but the people who implement it must be kind, and have vision and ability... If there are too many such situations, it is easy for good things to turn into bad things, and the rules change from true to false... Why did you turn back again?"

"Yes, yes, yes... I drank too much, third brother, don't take offense." Qin Bao nodded again and again, and finally couldn't hold back. "Then third brother... Is Mr. Zhang Han a bad heart?"

"It's just a bad one." Zhang Xing answered calmly. "Did you realize it today? He did all these things for the sake of his family's promotion and fortune, without any other considerations... Otherwise, why would the other lords object to repairing the big golden pillar in such a hurry."

Qin Bao nodded, and asked again: "What about the saint?"

"He is also a bad saint who consumes the world for his own selfishness." Zhang Xing remained calm. "I thought you already knew that too."

Qin Bao was silent for a while, and then slowly came back: "But the saint and the great Wei..."

"I know what you mean, there is no way for a saint to inherit Wei according to the most suitable rules at present, but if he is a broken saint, can Wei still become better?" Zhang Xing blurted out. "Of course it's possible... At this time, the Nanya will be needed, three provinces and six departments will be needed, and the great masters from all over the country will be needed to correct the mistakes... But the Nanya lost, and the loss was a mess, and the great master only had one middle school." Cheng stepped forward, but he lost."

"No wonder Chang Jian was so disappointed after Nanya lost that day." Qin Bao sighed. "They should have won."

"They should have won..." Zhang Xing suddenly stood up on the wall of the square, looking at the majestic Ziwei Palace to the west and sighed. "Erlang, do you think that a saint should be a man of great talent, and that the Nanya should be a collection of elites who plead for the people? As everyone knows, meat eaters are contemptible. Among them, there may not be one or two people with more conscience than you; That's right, there may not be one or two people who know the rules of weighing."

"Isn't it?" Qin Bao, who was sitting below, finally felt that his third brother's words were a bit absurd. "Nan Yali is... even Mr. Zhang Han has served as a local minister for decades, and his head is so clever that I can't say it... How can I compare?"

"That's cleverness, not clarity." Zhang Xing stood on the wall, condescendingly looking down. "They may all be smarter than us, but they are also from the second- and third-rate families in Jiangdong. Do you know the hardships of farming? Have you ever seen farmers from Jiangdong and the East in your eyes? When weighing the rules, have you ever seen them?" Have you ever thought about these people? But you have experienced and thought about it, so some rules are appropriate and tolerable in their eyes, but they are wrong and intolerable in the eyes of you and me.”

Qin Bao looked up at the other party in a daze, without saying a word.

"Also, the way they weigh is also different from what we just said." Zhang Xing continued. "For example, Zhongcheng, he only cares about the continuation of the Great Wei, so he cares about local tyrants, powerful families, Dongyi, the reconstruction of the army, and the talents in Jing'antai... These people are very important to him. He can even care about the farmers who provide food and cloth, because the farmers may rebel... But he will never care about the merchants this time. What kind of a fart is the merchant to him? All the merchants in the east have hanged themselves, affecting Is the Great Wei long-term peace and stability? Do businessmen dare to rebel? But the two of us actually care."

"However, if everyone's knowledge is different, how can we be sure whose knowledge and weighing method are correct?" Qin Bao asked with difficulty.

"Then try it." Zhang Xing threw down the empty wine bottle and looked at the other party in a daze. "Practice is the only benchmark for testing methods... But sometimes, trying a method may result in death or injury... At this time, people are often forced to try."

Saying that, Zhang Xing ignored Qin Erlang who was dazed on the wall of the square, jumped off the wall of the square, and headed towards his home.

But just after walking dozens of steps, he found that the other party was not following, so he turned his head to look, but unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he heard a long howl on the top of the square wall, and his true energy surged for a while, like ripples on Luoshui Rolling around, and probably because of the special nature of true qi, some metal objects seemed to faintly sparkle.

Even Zhang Xing's hair was a little stiff, and he was so shocked that he didn't know what happened for a long time.

After the whistle, the residents inside and around the walls of the square had already been disturbed, with shouts of cursing, inquiries, and crying of children one after another.

Qin Bao, who got into trouble, jumped down and hurriedly dragged Zhang Xing to escape, the latter hurriedly followed, the two of them rushed to the door of the house in one breath, turned over and came in, only to catch their breath.

"Third brother, I was really embarrassed just now." At this point, Qin Bao was embarrassed. "The third brother's reasoning I heard is absolutely correct. I just think that since I want to try it, I should let people like the third brother take me, and Chang Jian and Li Silang and others into Nanya for a try, so that the world will be happy." Can be safe... One thought opened, the true energy surged, and with a long whistle, the last main channel was directly broken, but the neighbors were disturbed in the end."

Zhang Xing was dumbfounded, with complicated emotions—he was finally the second-to-last in Fulongwei.
