Chapter 181: Bad Behavior
"This trip is too dangerous. We need to make a long-term plan." After Qin Xiangnuan lamented, she changed her mind about going together.
"Will it be more dangerous if we separate?" Qin Guang knew what Qin Xiangnuan was thinking, but he still hoped to advance and retreat together.
"No." Qin Xiangnuan refused sternly, "We are too few in number. This is a town full of people working together to face the outside world."
Qin Xiangnuan insisted on her own ideas, and Jiang Lin naturally stood on her side.
"General Qin, please take Madam Qin and the others forward first. I will be by Nuannuan's side and will ensure her safety."
Qin Xiangnuan thought Jiang Lin would stop her from going, so she was very surprised by what he said.
"I don't want you to take risks, but I know you will go." Jiang Lin seemed to know what Qin Xiangnuan wanted to say. After assuring Qin Guang, he met her gaze.
Qin Xiangnuan could hear his helplessness and indulgence, and a warmth rose in her heart.
With the joint persuasion of Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan, Qin Guang and his Qin family continued to head towards the border.
"Husband, is Nuannuan in danger?" Liu was very worried and had some complaints about Qin Guang abandoning Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Guang comforted Liu, "Nuannuan is now capable enough to deal with danger, and Jiang Lin is here to protect her, so you don't have to worry too much."
Qin Xiangnuan watched the carriage go away and felt a little reluctant.
"See you soon." Jiang Lin held Qin Xiangnuan in his arms and stood with her until they could no longer see the carriage or hear the sound of horse hooves.
Qin Xiangnuan's voice was a little dull, "I know, I'm just used to being with so many people every day, and suddenly there are only a few of us left, so I feel a little disappointed."
Jiang Lin didn't want her to dwell on the separation any longer, so after a few words, he asked, "Should we wait here for Anliu to return and go together, or should we leave a letter for them and go ahead?"
"Wait." Qin Xiangnuan raised her head, as if making a promise, "Let's go together."
"Okay." Jiang Lin smiled.
However, it was dark while we were waiting.
Qin Feng and Anliu walked over together, supporting each other.
"What happened?" Qin Xiangnuan stepped forward to greet them. After a quick glance, she found no signs of a fight, then continued, "Did you find out anything?"
This question seemed to ignite a fire, and Qin Feng continued to talk: "Cousin, let me tell you, this is simply the most tragic story I have ever heard. Even the storytellers in the capital could not think of such a terrible thing."
Qin Feng looked very tired, but he still had a sense of indignation in his grief.
"undercurrent."
"Master, we..."
Anliu's speech was much more concise than Qin Feng's, but one could still hear his suppressed anger.
After receiving the message from Heshui Town, Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan could guess that something tragic had happened, but they never imagined it would be so cruel.
"Isn't this just covering one's ears and stealing the bell?" Qin Xiangnuan didn't know how to evaluate the group of corrupt officials in Heshui Town.
"Cousin, you don't know how miserable the villagers are!" Qin Feng said, and couldn't help but clench his fists so hard that they made a crackling sound.
"They originally just wanted to go to town to do some small business and earn some money to support their families, but the officials not only robbed them, but also forced them to rob others, and the cycle continued."
Speaking of the suffocating part, Qin Feng needed to take a few breaths before he could continue. They were in the village because he was so angry that he lost his mind and was helped back.
"Nowadays, everyone in Heshui Town has done evil to others, and those who can't do evil are killed. They are killed just like that, just because they don't want to do evil, they are killed!"
Qin Xiangnuan's chest was filled with anger just by listening to Qin Feng's story. She could understand how deeply Qin Feng would feel when he heard the villagers who had experienced it firsthand tell about those forgotten things.
Jiang Lin was silent for a moment after hearing this.
"But, you can't kill them all!" Jiang Lin murmured, "Are they going to keep killing like this?"
Anliu was also deeply shocked by this, "That's what they did."
"Damn it!" Qin Xiangnuan even had an extreme idea, "How about burning Heshui Town down?"
"Cousin!" Qin Feng opened his mouth wide, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from her mouth.
"I'm just talking." Qin Xiangnuan knew that it was not allowed.
Some people choose to go along with the corrupt in order to save their own lives. Is that wrong? Of course it is wrong, but does it deserve the death penalty? Not really.
Many times, people cannot determine whether a person is good or bad because people have too many sides. In fact, the same is true for things. After all, everything is done by humans.
"Why are they doing this?"
Jiang Lin suddenly asked a question. They were all immersed in the hateful actions of Heshui Town and forgot to explore the original reason.
"Isn't it just for money?" Qin Feng blurted out without even thinking.
Jiang Lin shook his head slowly. "If it's just for money, there's no need to make such a big fuss. They're just small vendors. How much profit can they get from this?"
"Then, why is that?" Qin Feng didn't know either.
"Have you noticed anything strange in the town?" Qin Xiangnuan recalled everything that happened in Heshui Town.
The street is bustling and lively, with smiles on everyone's face that seem to come from the heart, rare elderly people and children, and clean and tidy noodle stalls on the street.
"There are no beggars! There are no poor people!" Qin Xiangnuan suddenly came out of her thoughts, opened her eyes wide, and stated what she was thinking.
Qin Feng asked, "What are you talking about, cousin?"
Jiang Lin and Anliu also looked at her with curious eyes.
Qin Xiangnuan stared at them and spoke word by word: "There are no beggars in the entire town, not even any poor people."
"Isn't this reasonable?" Qin Feng said, "People who come to the town go for money, and those who stay in the town have robbed others, so they will become rich."
"What about the people in the original town?" Jiang Lin suddenly thought of it. He looked at Qin Xiangnuan and raised his doubts.
"Yes!" Qin Xiangnuan nodded. "Beggars can be seen everywhere in the capital, so why not in a small town?"
Qin Feng was still confused and couldn't connect the reasons behind all of this.
Anliu had a few small thoughts, but he still couldn't figure it out. "Did those who killed people want the people to live a prosperous life? But they killed so many people."
"Everything will be solved only after we find out who is behind this."
Qin Xiangnuan felt that this person must be a lunatic or a pervert, otherwise he would not do such a thing.
He went to great lengths and even slaughtered the people just to create a "Peach Blossom Spring" where people would not suffer from poverty but could do all kinds of bad things; and those who entered the spring would be brutally killed if they did not want to do bad things or enjoy the dirty money.
Is this something a normal person would do?
