When I see this happening, I know it.
Demons cannot be banned at all. What I want to ban is not the demons, but the greed in people's hearts.
And under the current posture, there is no way to stop it.
It's really a very pessimistic thing.
Perhaps this is the reason why Xue Cheng became depressed in the future.
It's not just because he reported the method of raising monsters, but also because he knew that even if he didn't report it, this matter would be spread in the near future. The Rising Sun Country's ten years of consistent operation and persistence had already brought this matter to the brink of an explosion.
It will be uploaded sooner or later, and even though we know all this, there is still no way to change it. It is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. In the face of the rolling trend, personal efforts seem so powerless.
In the future, Ruihai might face even more terrifying and cruel scenes. Perhaps Ruihai already knew about the situation of demons in various places. After all, he was already the governor of Yangzhou at that time.
The situation in all places must be reported to him, and he is powerless to change it even if he wants to. This is undoubtedly the cruelest torture for a person with ideals.
We asked ourselves, should we continue doing this?
Yes, I found that I am not a saint, my will is not so firm that it is indestructible, I also hesitate and hesitate to move forward.
If you know that even if you work hard and put in a lot of effort, you will still get no reward and will only fail, should you still do such a thing?
Can't I just come back and become a normal person?
With my strength and realm, and with my ability, it is not difficult to protect my family and friends.
I have a choice.
I was in deep hesitation.
…
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, feeling worried about his future brother.
It is too cruel for one person to make an enemy of the whole world, or to say, to make an enemy of all the wealthy families in the world.
If it happened in a novel, it would certainly be called a legendary thing, but if it really happened in reality, the terrible and cruel blow would make people truly doubt life.
The Zhang family could be easily destroyed by the aristocratic families of small sects and factions, not to mention the top families that were entrenched in Longxing Prefecture, grew up in an area, or even a state.
Who can withstand their terrible attack?
Faced with a hugely difficult choice at such a moment, it is understandable that Zhang Mingtu retreated. He did not feel that he was unforgivable and did not consider himself a saint.
Moreover, even saints will have moments of hesitation and hardship.
Xue Cheng chose to give up, and Rui Hai even resigned from his official position and returned home.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Mingtu could understand why the future brother chose to retreat.
…
I chose to stay at home for the time being. After all, in this big world, there are not many people who are truly connected and related to me.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This statement makes sense, but it actually misses a point: the greater the ability, the greater the power, and at the same time, the greater the responsibility.
No matter how you think about it, I am still just the chief flag of the Jinyiwei in Jianyi County under Longxing Prefecture, and I am in charge of two small flags. The people controlled by the small flags are just a small Jinyiwei station.
I have already eliminated many of Jianyi's ills. I used intelligence to slay the demons hiding in Jianyi's underground rivers, and I have wiped out the Grain Boat Gang that has oppressed the people for years...
Given my position, I do enough.
I have not done anything wrong to others or myself. I have tried my best.
I use these words to convince myself every day, but in fact there is still a hint of unwillingness in my heart.
Perhaps it is the flaw of being a time traveler, or perhaps it is the baptism of China's 5,000-year-old culture, but the culture of family and country has taken root in my heart.
Protecting my small family and giving up everyone else seems reasonable from a personal perspective, and there's not much I can do.
When you really make this choice, everyone will still have a little regret in their heart.
I gave up, but not completely. At least I was still paying attention to the situation in Jianyi and its surrounding counties.
People still go missing in rivers every day, but they are all minor matters because not many people report them, or there is no habit of reporting cases in various places.
The government office has faced south since ancient times. Don’t come in if you have no money but a reason.
This slang, which was popularized at an unknown time, is not widely circulated at the official level, but is extremely popular among the people.
Except for Jianyi and Xingguo, where Ruihai had dealt with the situation, the government offices in other areas did not experience too many things all day long.
Moreover, many people cannot get a response even if they sue the government. For commoners, going to local wealthy families often ends in failure. Over time, this option is eliminated from the minds of many common people.
I still care, and there is a fire burning in my heart, but I don’t know where to go.
I will go to the river where some people disappeared, walk around there, and kill the monsters.
But that seems to be all that can be done.
Occasionally slaying demons and monsters in Jianyi and surrounding areas has become a habit of my life.
And during this calm wait, Rui Hai's position was transferred again.
I don’t know who moved that little butterfly, but Ruihai was not promoted to Governor of Yangzhou.
Instead, he was transferred to Jiujiang and became the local governor.
I was at a loss. The future was uncertain and was changing inadvertently.
But I don’t know the reason for this.
However, this did not prevent things from developing normally. Ruihai took the initiative to transfer me there and made me the chief flag of the Jinyiwei in Jiujiang Prefecture. My position and the personnel I managed remained unchanged, but in fact it was already an exceptional promotion.
After all, Jianyi is just a remote and poor place, while Jiujiang County is a major transportation hub with a very prosperous economy, and it is also a prefecture.
It was like I had reached a new level out of nowhere.
But I didn’t feel at peace or very happy in my heart.
Because I found that there was no way for me to quit.
Ruihai is still moving forward, and I had promised Ruihai before that I would move forward with him side by side, at least for a while.
It’s not easy to get off Ruihai’s ship once you’re on it.
No matter how uncomfortable the situation is, keep moving forward.
On my first day in office, my immediate superior ran into a big problem. Xue Cheng, the rising star of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and who had just been promoted to the rank of Captain of Jiujiang County, was attacked by an evil spirit and was seriously injured.
The entire Jinyiwei was in turmoil, and that night, I saw Xue Cheng, who was safe and sound.
He was accompanied by his three uncles and another bronze-medal captain from the Six Gates. In a hidden corner, he negotiated with the elite Jinyiwei.
"I have discovered traces of the enemy. We will organize a surprise attack tonight."
I remained silent.
The map that Xue Cheng pointed to was exactly the hidden demon base.
