Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch.

Chapter 974 Public opinion is like heaven
Coming out of Li Yuan's palace, Yun Ye's face was gloomy, and there was wind at his feet.

The development of things on his side was not far from what was expected. The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan did call Pei Ji and the old man of the Dou family, and took Yun Ye to play a table of mahjong, trying to solve the problem on the card table.

At the beginning, with Li Yuan pressing beside him, the atmosphere at the card table was pretty good.

But when Old Man Dou said sadly that there was already a virgin kneeling in the mourning hall of his grandson, and there was still a boy missing, Yun Ye's anger that he had been holding back for a day finally burst out.

He completely broke up with Old Man Dou at the card table and officially declared war.

Neither Emperor Li Yuan nor Pei Ji expected that Yun Ye would be so angry, and they both looked at him in shock.

It was obvious that they all had the mindset of carnivores and did not take the life of a singer at all.

This performance made Yun Ye even more angry. He became fierce and threatened that the Dou family must pay the price for this.

From then on, the game ended on bad terms. Yun Ye didn't show any mercy to them. After saying harsh words, he strode out of the palace.

Prince Li Chengqian chased after him from behind, grabbed Yun Ye, and asked worriedly: "Yezi, do you really want to avenge that singer?"

Yun Ye put his fist on the wall of the palace and said bitterly: "I don't want to avenge Luzhu, I just want to give justice to the wronged souls who died tragically in the world. Confucianism always talks about benevolence and Shu, and Old Man Dou must also like benevolence. It's just that he used this noble virtue on himself and was only cruel to others..."

"There used to be an article called "Song of Righteousness", but I always couldn't understand it. Now I suddenly understand that when those noble people first did these things, they had a sense of injustice in their hearts, which made people feel miserable. You can’t sleep peacefully. Only by doing this can you truly sleep peacefully.”

Li Chengqian looked at Yun Ye's expression, nodded and said, "It seems you are serious this time."

Yun Ye glanced at him: "Why do you see it?"

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "You were so angry just now that you even forgot to take the gold you won. This is not your character, so I say you are serious this time. At least this matter is more important to you than that pile of gold. important."

Yun Ye frowned, paused, and asked, "Where's the gold?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I collected it for you. You can send it to the Yun family anytime you want."

Yun Ye shook his head and said: "No, I will write a piece of paper later and send it to your house. You can use the gold to print ten or two hundred thousand copies of the paper I wrote. I want it all in Changan of the Tang Dynasty." The people in the county all know the Dou family’s beastly behavior!”

"Ah? This..."

Li Chengqian looked at Yun Ye in shock, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

After Li Chengqian left in a hurry, Yun Ye stepped forward again and walked forward.

At this moment, a voice fell from a high place and floated into his ears.

"Are you going to hand out flyers?"

"..."

Yun Ye paused, looked up at the palace, and saw the figure dressed in black.

Lin Zhongtian descended from the sky and floated to the ground. He looked at Yun Ye's seemingly calm but angry face and said, "It seems that you already know the fate of Miss Luzhu without me having to tell you..."

Yun Ye clenched his fists tightly and looked at Lin Zhongtian with red eyes.

"Human wax... was actually made into human wax!"

"We are all humans, why can they do such cruel things?"

Lin Zhongtian said lightly: "Maybe it's because there are no crimes against humanity in this world!"

In this era, people at the lowest level have no such thing as human rights.

Civilization only exists among the rich and powerful, and at most it benefits some of the middle class. As for the rest, it is the naked exploited people.

Yun Ye had known this for a long time, but he still had a sense of luck in his heart.

It wasn't until just now that Old Man Dou calmly said that the Dou family had turned the singer into human wax, but Li Yuan, Pei Ji and others next to him didn't care about it, that Yun Ye finally saw the cruel reality of this era.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at Yun Ye's expression and said softly: "What can I say? As long as you say a word, I can rush back to the Dou family now and kill everyone in the Dou family. No one will escape."

"No!"

Yun Ye shook his head and said firmly: "Killing all the Dou family will only make the court fear me and the emperor fear me. In this way, they only care about me, not the people of the world. This is not me. desired results.”

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "So, you want to mobilize public opinion and let the princes in the court see what it means that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."

This is Yun Ye’s strategy in the original work!

He spread the petition to avenge Miss Luzhu widely throughout the world, trying to arouse the sympathy of the people and arouse their anger, thereby achieving the result of using public opinion to destroy the Dou family.

But this approach is really too ideal.

Yun Ye was able to do it in the original plot because Li Er was secretly helping him behind the scenes.

As soon as the reputation of the Dou family was ruined, Li Er immediately took action and uprooted all the Dou family's foundations in Guanzhong, Longyou, Luoyang, and Hebei.

If not, the behemoth Dou family would never be shaken by a short-lived public opinion stir.

Yun Ye's approach will indeed make the powerful feel a sense of awe towards the people, but this awe is still under the imperial power.

Moreover, thousands of years of thinking will not be changed so easily. The powerful will still eat people if they should. At most, they will do better on the surface and act more secretly.

Lin Zhongtian analyzed all Yun Ye's thoughts without mercy.

After Yun Ye finished listening, his face was still expressionless, but his hands were clenched tightly.

"Can you think of a better way?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "With your current conditions, you can't... However, I do have a few icing on the cake ideas, which may shock the dignitaries in Chang'an City."

Yun Ye perked up and asked quickly: "How can I put the icing on the cake?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the sky where the dark clouds were getting thicker.

"Yun Ye, don't you think the dark clouds in the sky are a bit thick today?" Yun Ye was slightly startled, looked up at the sky, and frowned: "It's a bit thick. It looks like it's going to rain tonight."

Lin Zhongtian smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully: "Not only is it going to rain, maybe it's also going to thunder!"

……

……

"Crash-"

In the dim night, heavy rain suddenly poured down.

In the Dou family's mansion, Old Man Dou, who had just returned from the palace, had not yet calmed down his anger from Yun Ye's vicious words when he received news of a strange situation in the mourning hall.

After hearing the situation reported by his servant, Old Man Dou suddenly sat up from the low couch and looked at his servant angrily.

"What did you say?!"

The servant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and quickly repeated: "Back to the master, Old Liu who was guarding the mourning hall was killed, and Xiao Si was also knocked unconscious for no reason. It looked like someone had sneaked in. The young master’s funeral is here.”

"..."

Old Man Dou looked gloomy and asked in a deep voice, "How about the coffin?"

The servant hurriedly said: "Go back to the master, you are still here."

Old Man Dou's face softened slightly and he asked again: "Where is that cheap maid?"

The servant looked hesitant: "It's...still there, but the posture has changed!"

"what?!"

Old Man Dou looked surprised and looked at the old servant next to him.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately stood up and decided to go to the mourning hall.

When they arrived at the mourning hall, Dou Huaiyi, the eldest son of the Dou family, and Dou Huai'en, the third youngest, were already here. People were standing inside and outside the mourning hall. Everyone stood silently, looking at the figure sitting cross-legged in the mourning hall.

"How is this going?"

Old Man Dou's angry voice came from behind.

Everyone turned their heads and quickly made way for them.

Dou Huaien, the third eldest son of the Dou family, fell to the ground, holding a long knife in his right hand and looking ahead with a look of fear.

Hearing Old Man Dou's voice, he woke up suddenly and crawled to the feet of Old Man Dou.

"Dad, dad, the mourning hall is haunted!"

"Snapped!"

Before he finished speaking, Old Man Dou slapped Dou Huaien on the face, pointed at him with trembling fingers, and said angrily: "You are so weird and powerful, have you read all the books you have read in the past few decades into the dog's belly? "

Dou Huaien covered his face and said with a look of horror: "Dad, I didn't lie, it's true!"

Old Man Dou froze, then slowly raised his head and looked towards the mourning hall.

Next to the coffin, the green bamboo girl who was originally kneeling on the ground changed into a cross-sitting posture at some point.

She sat cross-legged on the ground, her eyes closed, her hands clasped together, her neck slightly drooped, as if she was chanting sutras in a low voice.

Old Man Dou's eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Lu Zhu who changed his sitting posture, and did not make a sound for a long time.

Suddenly, Old Man Dou pulled out the waist knife of the guard next to him, roared and rushed forward, swung it in a semicircle, and struck hard at the white neck exposed by the girl Luzhu who lowered her head.

His movement was so sudden that the people beside him who were stunned didn't react.

Dou Huaien's eyes widened and he quickly exclaimed: "Dad, don't!"

"Qiang!"

A sound similar to the clash of gold and iron sounded.

Golden light burst out from Miss Luzhu's body, and the long knife struck by Old Man Dou was heavily deflected away.

The force of the rebound was transmitted to Old Man Dou, causing the long knife in his hand to fly out, and his rickety body suddenly fell backwards to the ground.

Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to help the fallen old man Dou up.

Old Man Dou ignored the pain in his body. He helped the people around him get up, pointing at the human wax with trembling fingers. He glanced at the people around him who had the same ugly expressions, and his tone was horrified and angry.

"What...what's going on?"

"Who knows what's going on?!"

Old Man Dou's roar echoed throughout the mourning hall, and everyone looked at each other, unable to answer.

Dou Huaien had a wry smile on his face. He had also slashed angrily just now, but he was also unable to hurt the green bamboo and was blocked by the golden light.

"Rumble--"

At this moment, there was a loud thunder in the sky outside the mourning hall.

The cold wind and drizzle blew in from outside the door, blowing up a piece of paper nailed to the coffin.

Only then did everyone in the mourning hall notice the note on the coffin. They turned their heads to look at it, and saw sixteen large characters written on the note——

"The Dou family is an evil thief who has lost all conscience. If people don't get rid of him, God will punish him!"
