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

Chapter 450 Some villagers are cunning and sly

Old man Li was actually quite angry. Why?

Because their ancestors have been honest and ordinary people for generations.

There has never been any great figure.

So I never thought about becoming a celebrity in my life.

I just want to be honest and live my life well.

Don't be self-pitying, don't complain about your own status, and don't belittle others. This is what we think is the best virtue.

Rural people should be simple and unpretentious like this.

But when they mentioned the people of Jianghu just now.

These ordinary people actually felt at the first moment that those gangsters were not as good as them, the farmers.

Although in many cases some people in the underworld are indeed like this.

But the people he came into contact with were all ordinary people.

The reason why they have to wander around is always because of some changes in their family.

Who wants to go out and travel the world?

To be honest, what's so good about wandering around? Although they have some freedom and sometimes the government can't do anything about them, the only thing they want is to keep them in line and abide by the law.

Sometimes it is even difficult to collect their taxes, but they may have to live outside all their lives, sleeping in the open air, and sometimes they cannot even be buried after death. Many of them may not even be able to return to their hometowns. Is this the kind of life they want?
That kind of life is absolutely not what everyone wants. Precisely because of this, Old Li can especially sympathize with those people in the underworld and knows how difficult their lives are.

Precisely because he has reached this age, he understands particularly well how sad it would be if he could not return to his hometown.

So now when he sees his fellow city folks actually talking about those gangsters like this, and thinks that what those gangsters say is like fart and cannot be believed, he is very angry.

As ordinary people, why do we have to belittle others like this?

In fact, those people in the underworld have never done anything wrong to you, and sometimes they even help you.

Many people in the underworld are willing to reveal some information to you after knowing it so that you will not be cheated or exploited by the government.

Hasn't anyone done anything for you?

Now that people know about this good thing, the first thing they do is come and inform you guys.

They are well-informed and don't hide anything. It's none of their business.

Even if there is compensation for these occupied fields and lands, the people there don't get a penny. Why are they willing to come here and share them with you? Isn't it based on the moral principles of the underworld?

Guo Feixue is also a woman of the world. Did she show off after arriving here?

There was a man from the martial arts world who was the direct descendant of a Duke's wife. He should have returned home in glory, but he did not do so. It was even a bit like he was traveling at night in fine clothes.

They have already done so much and hope to help us live a better life, but we have to doubt their meaning.

Although I know clearly that the saint is a person who saves all living beings and has done so many good things, I still feel that what she says may be difficult to believe because she is a person of the world.

What is the reason for this?

Old Li found it unbelievable. He didn't expect that the people in his village would be such people.

The villagers were a little surprised to see Old Li so angry. Why was he like this?
We are just normal people.

Why should we trust those scoundrels?

Those gangsters neither gave us money nor made our lives any better, so why should we trust them?

They originally roamed the streets, and sometimes they made a living by cheating and deceiving people.

Many people have some prejudice against the so-called gangsters because they have been deceived by them.

So what if Guo Feixue is a saint?

Even if Guo Feixue saved the day from the flood in Wenzhou, what would that do?

Can it cover up the absurd things they are saying now?
Can they believe it? Who dares to believe these things?

If you believe in it but cannot do it, then it’s all in vain.

I don't want to be played like this.

So not believing it is just a normal reaction for normal people.

What gives you the right to accuse us like this?
Are you too confident, old man?

Do you think people will treat you well in this way?
In fact, it is not the case at all. Maybe you just feel good about yourself.

Don't be fooled, there's nowhere to cry.

So some people directly refuted: "It's not that we don't believe in the saint, but we don't believe in these so-called national policies. Who can believe it? Do you dare to believe it?

I have never seen such a good thing in my entire life. Why should the government occupy our fields, land and houses and still give us money?

I only know that if you refuse to give up your land when the government wants to requisition it, they will accuse you of rebellion and may even kill your entire clan."

What this middle-aged man said is what everyone now understands particularly.

Why would you not give the government something it wants to requisition? If you don't give it, they will accuse you of rebelling and kill your whole family, or even your entire clan.

It's not like this hasn't happened before.

Some people once said that one should not occupy the Feng Shui land of one’s ancestors, but what can one do about it?

Isn't it just a matter of flattening it directly?
You must move your family’s grave. If you don’t, it will be dug up and all the bones inside will be turned over.

What compensation did you get in the end?

In the end, I just became a laughing stock of others.

Who told you to go against the government? Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials. If you fight against the government, aren't you seeking death?

In other words, just like now, if the government directly uses your fields and land and you don't give it back, what will be the end of you?
The good outcome is just exile, and the bad outcome is beheading in the street to warn everyone that you are not allowed to do such things.

This is the government's method, and this is the consequence of going against the government.

After hearing this, Old Li was furious and said directly: "Who told you that people are going to do this now? When the Duke of Guo carried out the reform, the whole southeast was littered with corpses. No one believed that this could be done, but it was done anyway.

Now that the Ming Bank has been established, people can earn interest by depositing money into it. No one else can do this, but the Duke has done it. Since he can do it, why do you say that this thing cannot be compensated?

Although it is the gangsters who are promoting these things nowadays, and although some of those gangsters are indeed cheating and doing many things that are sorry to the common people.

But did you hear what he said? He came here to promote the show on the orders of Guo Feixue.

In other words, this matter was actually promoted by Guo Feixue.

In other words, these things are actually done by the Duke.

To us, the Duke is a star sent by God to save us. He is a great god, but we don’t believe in others.

Why? Because we were cheated by gangsters before?

Just because we think that this thing cannot be done, just because ordinary people like us think we can’t do it, do we believe that others can’t do it either?

Is this what you call a self-justifying statement?
If this is the case, then you people really have no hope of being saved. You should be poor all your life, and you should be oppressed by others all your life.

I am an old man, but I can still accept these new things.

It’s because I know that people in the underworld are not necessarily bad people, and they still have some moral principles.

They have actually done a lot to help us ordinary people, but we just don't trust others.

I have always believed in the morality of the people in the martial arts world, and I have always believed that people like the Saint will not easily deceive us.

Because there is no need. Don’t we poor bosses have anything worth being cheated of?
So it is a good thing to open your mind and believe that the government can do all this and believe that the Duke can do all this. "

Old Li was earnestly advising the villagers to trust the man from the underworld.

As soon as he finished saying this, there was applause from behind.

When everyone turned around, they found that the gangsters who had just been promoting at the village entrance had returned.

Because after they finished their promotion in other places, they returned to this village again.

As soon as I came back, I heard Old Li talking.

In fact, the people from the underworld were very angry when they heard what was happening just now.

To be honest, I haven't gained any benefit from doing this now.

They just hope that as people of the world and as people of justice, they can do something for ordinary people.

I don't ask the people to remember my kindness, I just want them to know that people in the underworld are still very reasonable.

We can help each other. If any of us have any difficulties in the future, we will ask you for help, and we hope that you can repay us as generously as I did today.

But when they were listening just now, they found that some people did have a lot of opinions about the people in the martial arts world.

This opinion is largely based on prejudice.

Because many people think that people in the underworld are just so-so.

They are just some down-and-out people who have lost their fields and land and are now wandering around the world.

They are indeed like that, and many of them have ended up wandering around because of this reason, but that doesn't mean their spiritual world is not rich.

They have never thought about harming others. They just want to get along with the common people so that they can make more money. As for those who cheat and deceive, they are not worthy of being called gangsters.

It was Old Li's words that really touched people.

The villagers were still a little afraid when they saw those gangsters coming back.

Many of them have heard that some people in the martial arts world have many tricks up their sleeves, whether it's using drugs or having very powerful martial arts skills.

So now when I see that others have heard me saying bad things about them, I am even afraid and hide behind them when I come back.

But the Jianghu people said at this time, "Don't be afraid, we are here to promote the Saint. Now that the fields, land and houses have been occupied for road construction, we can get compensation."

Some people in the underworld also said half-jokingly, "If you really don't believe it, I would like to ask you all, if this matter has anything to do with us, does it have anything to do with us if you tell us about it?

Why do we do these thankless tasks?"

At this point, other people in the martial arts world also said, "That's right. We have come from Ningbo Prefecture to your place for at least dozens of miles. We have taken care of our own food and drink along the way. No, we should say that the food and drink were provided by the Saint.

The reason they do this kind of thing is not because they need you to pay anything. You haven't paid anything at all. But in the end, after we finished the publicity, we didn't get any support from you. Instead, you accused us of trying to plot against you.

I want to ask you what we are plotting against you. Are you people really rich enough for us to plot against you?

Even if we want to gain something from you, we only want a little bit of benefit from your word of mouth.

I hope you can tell others about our goodness. We just want to have such a small request. Is it too much to ask? "

After hearing what the people in the martial arts world said, many of them lowered their heads in shame, or even blushed.

They had just spoken with such confidence, but now they couldn't say at all what the other party was planning to do to them.

Just like what they said, they just promoted so much and left without even sipping a sip.

It just means that they haven't even thought about what they want from them.

Even the food and drink for the people are provided by the saint, which shows that she doesn't want the common people to pay anything at all.

I just wanted to bring some benefits to the common people, but such a request was actually misunderstood by all these people. This is really inappropriate.

So I felt very embarrassed when I thought of this, and I felt even more embarrassed because I was caught in my true form.

However, some people were stubborn and stammered: "We don't know whether what you said is true or not, but we know that there is no benefit in going against the government.

If the government really wants our fields and land, and we don’t give them to them, we will be killed.

Isn't it as easy for the government to kill us as to kill an ant?

Even if we have grievances, there is nothing we can do even if we file a complaint with the higher authorities.

That’s why we still don’t believe what you’ve said. If you really want to build a road in the future, just go ahead and occupy our fields and we won’t say a word.

You don't have to spend so much time telling us about the benefits.

We don’t believe it until we get the real benefits and put them in our pockets.”

The person who said this is a well-known deadbeat in the village...
