Lin Han left only after arranging some matters for the academy.
Afterwards, Lin Han practiced with peace of mind and did not leave the village. He needed to be vigilant at all times to see if Lu Kang would attack them.
Three days later, a guard came into the meeting hall to report.
"Sir, there is an envoy claiming to be the governor of Lu Kang, and he wants to see you."
"See."
Lin Han waved his hand and asked someone to come in.
When Wu Qing entered Hanjiang Village, he heard the loud shouts of soldiers on both sides of the training ground and became secretly alert.
When I followed him in, I was shocked by the road, but the valley was peaceful, the people had happy smiles on their faces, and the children in the academy were reading in clear and orderly voices.
This kind of scene is hard to come by even in a peaceful world, and in today's world, with thieves everywhere and natural disasters, this scene is even more rare.
Hanjiang Village actually has such a well-planned public security system. No wonder the two county lieutenants failed. I'm afraid this village is not simple.
Soon, Wu Qing met Xiao Hange, who was rumored by the outside world.
The leader of Hanjiang Village.
He is as brave as the rumors say, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and is extraordinarily handsome.
"Boss, I am Wu Qing, the messenger of Governor Lu. Governor Lu sent me here to inform you, Boss."
"What's the matter?"
"I hope the great leader will surrender and turn over a new leaf. The world is in turmoil right now, and the governor is unwilling to resort to violence."
"Emissary Wu, I ask you, what is evil and what is righteous?"
"Those who bring disaster to the people are evil. The boss is now a bandit, and the people have no peace. This is evil."
"According to the envoy's words, those who bring disaster to the people are evil. In the current court, women are interfering in government affairs, relatives of the emperor's wife are in power, and eunuchs are in power. Is this evil?
The emperor built shops in the harem and ordered the court ladies to do business, play with dogs in the West Garden, and ride donkeys. Is this right?
The emperor likes to make private profits, collect treasures from all over the world, use them as funds for transportation, and make the people suffer. He spends more than he pays, and the corrupt officials benefit from it, while the people suffer from it. Is this evil?
"A minister who flatters others, who is always willing to sacrifice his own interests, and who is tolerating and fostering treachery, is this evil? May I ask the envoy, who is causing harm to the people?"
Wu Qing's expression changed drastically.
"How dare you! This is a rebellious statement. Be careful with your words."
"Okay, I won't talk about politics. Let me ask you again, envoy. You said that bringing disaster to the people is evil. Have you ever heard of me plundering the people and killing innocent people?"
"No, but the chief has massacred 25,000 of the county lieutenant's soldiers and horses. This crime is unforgivable."
"I never robbed the people, nor did I kill innocent people, yet the county lieutenant led his troops to attack. I was only defending myself. What crime have I committed?"
"This...it's the county lieutenant's job to suppress bandits. Since you didn't rob the civilians, why are you afraid? Why don't you leave the camp and surrender? You will be innocent. Now it's too late to slaughter 25,000 of the county lieutenant's soldiers."
"The messenger dared to say that if I surrendered and left the village, I could really live? Not necessarily."
Wu Qing was speechless for a moment, then said, "Now that you have another chance to survive, why don't you surrender? Prefect Lu has agreed to write a petition on your behalf. With the prefect's merits in suppressing Huang Rang's bandits, and the prefect's loyalty in annihilating the remnants of Huang Rang's army, he will surely find a way for you to save your life."
"Then please ask the governor to get the imperial edict before coming back."
Lin Han shook his head.
"Messenger, please return and deliver my message to Governor Lu. I respect your loyalty and righteousness. I do not wish to bring disaster to the people, nor have I ever done so. I do not wish to engage in war with you, but only to maintain peace in this world. If things do not go as I wish, I will be forced to protect myself. I hope you will make a prudent decision."
"I will definitely convey the words of the great master."
Wu Qing looked at Lin Han deeply, nodded and took his leave.
