People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 387 Are people like you worthy of talking about the ethics of the underworld?
How could these people not know that if they were caught, they would be killed without a burial place.

Although they didn't want to die with those officials, the reality of this matter was that it was like playing with fire.

Originally, these people thought that if they really came this time and succeeded, then it would be a great accomplishment and they would also be able to get a reward.

But after receiving the reward, they immediately thought about leaving.

Because there will be no good results if you follow these adults.

They saw very clearly what these people were doing. If they followed such people, they would surely die without a burial place.

Especially when they saw that these people were going against the Duke, they understood it even more clearly.

It would be better for me to slip away early, otherwise there would be no need to be buried with these people.

However, the current situation seems to be beyond their control.

Now that they have been captured by the White Lotus Sect, they know that they will be killed without a burial place and have no chance to argue at all.

Especially now that they have caught you on the spot, what chance do you have to say anything else?

But one of them refused to admit defeat. He struggled to get up and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I have something to say. I can tell you anything. Just let me go, okay?"

But the people of the White Lotus Sect didn't have time to talk nonsense to him at this moment, just as their incense master had said.

Now that the White Lotus Sect has cooperated with the imperial court, we cannot do those things that are done in the underworld.

Although these people looked like gangsters who had defected to an official in the imperial court, to them, these people were enemies.

So in this situation, there is no way the leader of the White Lotus Sect would spare these people.

Especially when you see these people coming here to see if the stone bridge is damaged, you can tell at a glance that these people are in the same group as the ones who used the rotten water just now.

Can such people be forgiven easily?

If we spare them, how can we be worthy of the students from Imperial University, Guo Feixue and Sophia who have put in so much effort for this stone bridge?

These people dare not say that they have a strong conscience, but they do have a heart that can be said to be sincere.

They were standing by and watching with their own eyes as the students from Imperial University of Peking worked hard to build the stone bridge. They saw with their own eyes how much effort they put into building the stone bridge.

If such efforts are not respected, then isn't God being too unfair to these hard-working people?
It is precisely because of such considerations that the White Lotus Sect does not want to give these people any chance at all.

After being caught, he will be escorted back to Chen Han’s residence immediately.

On the way back, those people started talking because they saw that these White Lotus Sect members were not actually government officials.

If they were government officials, they wouldn't speak in such jargon like they do.

So a man who had been in the underworld for a long time said, "Since you are all friends in the underworld, why can't you give me some face?
We didn't want to do this, but we had no choice.

Our family is still in the hands of those people, so they did this. We are just here to check the situation and report back. Why did you make it a matter of life and death? I just want to ask you, is that right?"

Faced with such doubts, the incense master said directly, "I am indeed not at fault for you. To you, you are just running errands.

But have you ever thought that because of your running errands, many people may lose their lives because of this matter?

We are waiting here under orders. Our saint has ordered us to stay here and not allow anyone to destroy this stone bridge.

We, the White Lotus Sect, have been observing the rules here for more than a month to prevent anyone from causing trouble at this time.

But we just arrested a group of people in the first half of the night, and you came in the second half of the night. Who are you? Do we need to tell you?

Maybe you have your own difficulties, but what do your difficulties mean to us? "

When those people heard that they were members of the White Lotus Sect, they immediately said again: "Fellow White Lotus Sect heroes, we are all people of the Tao, why should we spend so much effort on the disputes between officials in the court?

"Everyone in the martial arts world doesn't have a good impression of the imperial officials, but you have made so many sacrifices for them. If this gets out to the martial arts world, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the White Lotus Sect?"

What a good trick to win people’s hearts.

If it happened to other people in the world, they might let them go after seeing this situation.

Because people in the underworld always have to care about their face.

It is really hard to explain why you don't give face to people in the underworld.

But for the White Lotus Sect today, these faces do not have much binding force.

After all, the White Lotus Sect has now submitted to the imperial court.

Under the leadership of the imperial court, the White Lotus Sect is now developing exceptionally well.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the several large temples under the White Lotus Sect, all of which were funded and built by the imperial court.

Now the White Lotus followers no longer need to worry about how they will live in the future.

As long as you truly believe in the White Lotus Sect and are willing to spread it.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must spread the good aspects of the White Lotus Sect, then you can receive a good salary.

For ordinary members of the White Lotus Sect, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They had a hard life before. Even in a good place like the Jiangnan branch, they had to deal with local officials and smugglers.

So nominally, people in the underworld have their own rules and tricks, but if they really want to live a good life, they must actively integrate into the rules set by the government.

Only by actively participating in government affairs can you live a better life.

In fact, if you don’t cooperate with the imperial court, you won’t be able to survive.

In order to better spread the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, they chose to cooperate with the imperial court, and the imperial court did not let them down.

Especially now that we are cooperating with the Duke, he has built a lot of good things related to the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect also saw that a sect could develop in this way.

Even though the Duke was not a member of the White Lotus Sect, he was able to plan the future development of the White Lotus Sect with a longer-term vision.

In the future, the White Lotus Sect will gradually become a powerful religious force in the Ming Dynasty, able to help the Ming Dynasty stabilize the people's hearts.

This is what they really want to do.

Although it seems that all the White Lotus Sect members are gangsters, in fact, most of them are religious believers.

They also hope to give more people a happy and fulfilling life through their religion. This is their true belief.

So now that these people have been captured, they want to use psychological warfare to tell the White Lotus Sect members that if you don't let us go, then it will seem like you have no moral integrity, and how will people in the martial arts world view you?

The incense master responded directly at this time: "It doesn't matter how people in the martial arts world view us. We only know that even if we are from the White Lotus Sect and even if we are people in the martial arts world, we cannot ignore the interests of the people for our own selfish interests.

Nor can we destroy the stone bridge that so many people have worked so hard to build just for our own selfish interests.

You didn't see how this stone bridge was built, but we did.

Despite numerous obstacles, the students of Imperial University were able to break through so many constraints and complete this seemingly impossible task.

Even in a once-in-a-century flood, this stone bridge can withstand it.

With such merits, wouldn't it be unacceptable, not to mention in the eyes of the government and the world, even in the eyes of us people in the world?
Such a feat should be praised by everyone, even by the people in the underworld, and they should be praised for their achievements.

And what did you do?
What you actually do is to be lackeys for those who pursue their own selfish interests.

You have your own difficulties, don’t other people have their own difficulties?
You have your own so-called difficulties, but do you have to harm the people just for these difficulties?

People in the underworld talk about morality, what is morality?
Morality means being good to the people and loyal to your friends.

But what did you do?
You keep talking about morality, but what have you done to live up to the morality you talk about?

Others say that I don't give you face, but even if it's my parents, if they help those villains do this kind of thing, I won't let them go."

When the White Lotus sect members heard what the incense master said, they immediately applauded: "Well said, incense master, well said!"

“The reason we joined the White Lotus Sect is that we hope that our White Lotus Sect can help more people live better.

Now, the students of Imperial University have worked very hard to build this stone bridge so that the common people can have a bridge to travel smoothly and avoid having to take so many detours.

I hope that the court will have more merchants doing business, collect more taxes, and allow more people to live a good life.

This is what we in the underworld call morality. This kind of morality is the real morality.

On the contrary, you guys all talk about morality, but you do dirty things for those corrupt officials.

You keep saying that this is because you have your own difficulties. Does that mean you have to hurt others just because you have your own difficulties?

I have never heard of anyone who would stab someone to death with a knife just because he had his own reasons.

Your difficulties are your business, not anyone else’s.”

I guess these people didn't expect that, although the members of the White Lotus Sect were all gangsters, they all understood the righteousness of the cause.

Since they submitted to the imperial court, they have not been ordered by the imperial court to do dirty things.

Instead, it protects the interests of the people everywhere.

Instead, they pay more attention to people who come from the lower class like them.

This gave the White Lotus followers hope.

Now under the care of the imperial court, every White Lotus leader's family lives a very good life. In this case, why not cooperate with the imperial court?
Why not help the court do more?

Especially during the time that the Duke is here, they see hope that the Ming Dynasty has a chance to become more prosperous.

Why don't I, as a member of the Ming Dynasty, want to see it?
These people just don't want to see it, so the White Lotus Sect is very angry.

When the White Lotus Sect members escorted this group of people to Chen Han's residence, Guo Feixue and Sophia were even more surprised.

Unexpectedly, they caught a group of saboteurs in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night they caught another group of people who wanted to go and see whether the saboteurs had succeeded.

This is obviously the result of the officials feeling guilty.

After catching this group of people, Guo Feixue and Sophia immediately interrogated them.

"Tell me, who asked you to do the cleanup?

Don't even think about how to evade our scrutiny. We were the ones who caught the group of people in front. Let me tell you straight, they have been tied up in our backyard.

Those people will definitely be executed. If you want to live, tell us everything useful.

Perhaps, since you haven't committed any serious crimes, you won't be beheaded. At most, you will be exiled a thousand miles away, and then you will have a chance to come back and reunite with your families.

If you are unwilling to cherish this opportunity, then we have no choice but to send you to the west.

You don’t have to confess if you don’t want to. There are plenty of torture instruments in the Jinyiwei prison that can make you confess everything you know without any hesitation.”

When the Jinyiwei was mentioned, everyone couldn't help but tremble.

After all, over the past hundred years, the reputation of Jinyiwei has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone knows that once you are targeted by the Jinyiwei, no matter how tough you are, they can take everything out of your mouth.

It even makes you regret not saying it earlier and why you have to suffer like this.

Under such an attack, Guo Feixue made the people in front of her lower their heads without saying a few words.

Then he slowly said everything.

"Young lady, please be frank. We were sent by the Left Censor-in-Chief.

It is indeed as you said, the Left Censor-in-Chief and his people planned to corrode the stone bridge with rotten water.

Although it is impossible to make the stone bridge collapse immediately after using rotten water, the stone bridge will collapse after half a month or a month.

By then, they will have a reason to attack all the people in Imperial University for nothing, and even directly attack all the national policies of the Duke as wrong.

But what we didn’t expect was that the people we sent were caught. The officials were all scared to death, so they sent a few of us to check the situation.

What they meant was that it would be best if they could meet Lin Laosan and his gang on the road.

If you don't encounter them or see them, just capture their families and use them as threats.

We didn't expect that as soon as we got under the stone bridge, we were caught by the brothers of the White Lotus Sect. We were speechless.

Now we have said everything we know, if the girl can keep her promise, she should let us go.

As you can see, we were just runners, we didn't participate in anything, and we would never accept it if we were killed.

We still have family and an old mother. Even if we don't go, will they let our family go? You should understand our difficulties. "
