Chapter 340: Rebellion or Not?!
The villagers of Heihe Village packed up their things and prepared to return to the village. They looked a little uneasy.
They couldn't predict what would happen next, but one thing was certain: the imperial court would not let this go.
I'm afraid the peaceful days of Heihe Village are coming to an end.
"If it's a blessing, it won't cause trouble. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided." The village head comforted everyone, "First live the present day well, and don't worry too much about the future."
Although refugees and guests can be trusted, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.
Not to mention that today's witnesses included not only refugees and guests, but also merchants coming from other places.
When the imperial guards came, they all hid, but now they all came out of their corners.
The villagers looked at them with complicated expressions.
The vendors were frightened by the stares and were afraid that the Heihe Village would kill them to silence them.
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone what happened just now!"
"Yes, we won't cause trouble for Heihe Village. We also hope that Heihe Village will get better and better. Only in this way can we earn more money!"
"We can swear an oath!"
After those people finished speaking, they actually started swearing loudly.
The village head looked at them with a piercing gaze. "I'm willing to believe you all. First, Heihe Village has been very kind to you all. Second, anyone who spreads this kind of talk will surely face disaster! Let me remind you all, those people were killed by lightning. Even if the imperial court investigates, Heihe Village will have a legitimate case!"
The vendors nodded repeatedly.
"If that day ever comes, we are willing to testify for Heihe Village!"
"Those people went too far, actually wanting to kill all the children in the village. Heaven couldn't stand it and killed them. They deserved it!"
The village head nodded and said, "Everyone, just act like everyone else and pretend nothing happened!"
"Nothing happened in the first place!"
The vendors returned to their stalls with smiles on their faces, and everything returned to normal.
The villagers of Heihe Village returned to the village to prepare food for tonight. Life still has to go on, so they can only take it one step at a time.
Little Dumpling took Hawkeye's hand and ran towards the village.
Two Zen masters walked behind.
The older one said, "Brother, I have a question. Why do I feel like you are deliberately going against the court?"
The older one said, "Your feeling is very accurate."
"Why?" Master Hongkong asked, puzzled. "Even if the Great Universe is nearing its end, a rebellion is inevitable. But it's not our turn as monks to do such a thing, is it?"
Zen Master Huineng smiled and said, "I'll take you to see someone, and you'll understand."
The main house of the Ye family.
Ye Buwei smiled and said, "Master Hongkong, long time no see."
Master Hongkong didn't move at all, as if he had been struck by lightning.
“This, this, this…”
Master Hongkong talked for a long time, then walked up to Ye Buwei and touched his face.
After confirming that this person was indeed the regent, Master Hongkong still looked incredulous and kept asking questions.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Since the Prince Regent is still alive, then who was the person for whom the monks at Lingji Temple prayed for the souls for 49 days twenty years ago?"
"Why has the Prince Regent been hiding here for over twenty years?"
…
Zen Master Huineng told him roughly what had happened that year.
Master Hongkong frowned and shook his head. "The Regent King worked so hard for Dayu, yet he was murdered by the person closest to him and whom he trusted the most. Such a heartless, ungrateful, and incompetent king is simply outrageous! He has let down not only his uncle, but also the people of the world!"
"Junior brother, it's not too late for you to leave Heihe Village now," Zen Master Huineng said solemnly. "The world is so big. Besides the capital and Heihe Village, there are many places you can go."
Master Hongkong said firmly, "No, I will stay in Heihe Village with my brother!"
Zen Master Huineng shook his head and sighed, "Why are you doing this? I'm doing this for my disciple, what are you doing this for?"
Master Hongkong's eyes were bright, "I'll just do it for the people of the world!"
Footsteps were heard outside the door, and Zhao Xingjian walked in, followed by Ye Yanping, the village head, and Hawkeye who was holding the little girl's hand.
As the little girl walked, she shouted, "Meeting, everyone, come to the meeting!"
Master Hongkong smiled and said, "Look, Xiao Jiuer's mind is as clear as a mirror, everything has been arranged!"
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling threw himself into Ye Buwei's arms, "Head, why don't you just go get rough?"
Ye Buwei smiled bitterly. Now was not the best time to reveal his identity, so he couldn't go out.
"Xiaobao, Naobao is practicing martial arts in the house. I heard that something happened outside?" Ye Buwei was a little afraid to look into Xiaojiuer's eyes.
"That's right! Don't worry about your brain, just practice your skills!" Xiao Jiuer patted his chest with his little hands, "Leave it all to me!"
Then he greeted everyone like a little adult, "Everyone sit down, it's time for a meeting!"
“Okay, okay!”
Everyone sat down immediately and looked at the little dumpling with a smile.
"Xiao Jiuer, what do you want me to do?" Zen Master Huineng laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible.
Xiao Jiuer moved her little mouth, but when the words came out, she retracted it.
She really wanted to say that it seemed that one couldn't use too many space bombs at a time. Only four bombs were dropped today, and the shelf for storing bombs was empty.
I don’t know if it will reappear later.
The more Xiao Jiuer thought about it, the angrier she became. How stingy! Your Highness is too stingy!
How can the baby do anything big if he is so stingy?!
Then, everyone in the room looked at the little girl as she suddenly puffed up her cheeks in anger, her chest heaving up and down, and the air she exhaled from her nose made her bangs flutter.
"Daughter, who made you angry?" Ye Yanping waved his fist, "Daddy will help you beat him up!"
The little dumpling jumped off Ye Buwei, put his hands on his waist, and stamped his feet, "One word! You are so cute! Do you want to rebel or not?!!"
Everyone: ? ? ! ! !
The village head was so frightened that he almost fell off his stool.
Hey, my dear, is the opening so exciting?
Ye Buwei pursed his lips. Xiao Jiuer really had an obsession with rebellion.
"I've been so worried about you." Xiao Jiuer patted his left chest. "You're so cute, who's going to go first?"
Ye Buwei glanced at Zhao Xingjian.
Zhao Xingjian raised his hand, "Xiao Jiuer, regarding rebellion, the Master has something to say!"
"Okay! Husband, why are you rebelling!" Little Jiuer climbed onto the chair using his hands and feet and sat down, his little chubby face looking very serious.
Zhao Xingjian cleared his throat. "If things keep going this way, Heihe Village and the capital will eventually come to blows. Instead of waiting for them to come knocking on our door, why don't we take the initiative? I plan to go to the capital and muddy that mess even further!"
Zen Master Huineng stroked his beard. "I believe your method is feasible. Right now, the people of the capital are filled with resentment, yet it's being forcibly suppressed. It's like boiling water in a sealed cauldron, desperately needing an outlet. If someone raises their arms and speaks up for the people, there will surely be a surge of support!"
