Chapter 283
But I have nothing to do recently, so I want to go out and have some fun in the amusement park.
He went to the snack street, asked the people around him to carry a lot of food, and then found a place to sit down and eat.
Suddenly I saw the red mark again.
The servant told him that the red mark was begging, so he came to them. He didn't know what happened after he was driven out.
But looking at the clothes Red Mark is wearing now, it's better than when he was chased away. He must have found something else to do.
Leyuan nodded while eating.
"This lotus root is delicious. I'll order more next time."
Paradise said to the servant.
The servant nodded and wrote down the name of the store.
Suddenly, someone started arguing nearby. It turned out that they were arguing about who was the biggest traitor at the moment.
Leyuan took a mouthful of noodles and thought, what doubt is there?
There is no doubt about that, but some people actually think that he is a good person.
This is horrible, what's wrong with them?
Paradise almost choked.
The noise of the quarrel over there was getting louder and louder.
"Who else could be the biggest traitor except that piece of trash who was once the top scholar and later became the prime minister?"
"Of course it's the one who's against him, with gray hair and a big beard, pretending to be a good guy, but actually he's a piece of trash."
"Why is it waste?"
"If it was really amazing, it should have been stopped before it happened, but it was not done. It happened, people dealt with it, and nothing was done. Isn't it just waste?
Even if you have the will but not the ability, and can't even afford to pay to get everyone out, you still have to raise money from others. Isn't this just wanting others to think that you are poor and upright?
Fuck you!
Qingzhi County earns 100,000 silver dollars a year. He can compete with the prime minister. He also has a large number of students under him. Is it possible that he doesn't have money? If he doesn't get rid of people, it must be because he doesn't want to.
But he wanted to have a good reputation, so he had to tell everyone about himself. He seemed to have done a great thing by paying such a small amount of money. In fact, he could neither save people nor pay money, so what was the point?
I don't believe that if he makes people think that his opponent is a treacherous minister, he can reap the benefits. Anyone who believes this is a fool."
"You're talking nonsense! He has no money because he's a good man. He doesn't exploit the people or take bribes, so how could he have money? It's not your fault.
He was not the one who killed the person, and he was not the one who wanted to deal with the person. How can you blame him? You are being unreasonable. You don't say that it is wrong to kill people, but you say that it is wrong not to save people.
I don’t think he’s wrong. It just proves what a good person he is.”
As they were arguing, they turned their heads and heard a cough. Seeing that Paradise seemed to be out of the matter, they decided to ask him.
"Do you know who we are talking about? You come and judge. You are neither one of us nor one of them. You can definitely give us a fair answer."
A man came over and asked.
"I don't know what you want me to answer."
Leyuan wiped the corner of his mouth and said.
The bowl of noodle soup was spicy, red, and steaming. Even though he wiped his lips, the cloth that had wiped his lips was bright red, as if he had just spit out blood. It looked a little scary.
"Who of them is the good guy and who is the bad guy. Can't you figure out even such a simple thing?"
Another person came over, blocking the road, and stood beside his table to ask.
"Isn't this very clear? Who is the traitor? The other one is the good guy."
The park is packed up and ready to leave.
"Can you please tell me who that is?"
The others blocked him.
"That old man is a good guy, and the other one is a bad guy, okay? If you still don't understand, I'm going to do something else."
Paradise smiled.
"What can you do?"
The people around were somewhat disdainful.
"I can send you to prison, saying that you illegally gathered to discuss state affairs. Although I can't let you be beheaded, but I can let you live somewhere else for two days, there is no problem at all."
Le Yuan replied with a smile and gave him a push.
The man staggered and became very angry. He asked with his hands on his hips, "Who are you? You are so pretentious. You act like you are a very important official."
The servant packed up his things and ran away.
Anyway, they are all very fast.
Red Mark came over from behind, saw their backs and answered the person who asked the question, "Isn't that the traitor you were talking about?
It's strange that you don't know who you hate. "
The faces of the people around him turned pale.
The man who was speaking trembled and shouted, "Nonsense! He is a spoiled and extravagant person. How could he come to such a winding and fly-filled alley like ours?
People like that would wipe the bench three times when they sit on it, so how could they just sit there, eat here, and talk to us when it was our turn? "
The people around also reacted and didn't believe what was said, but they were still a little confused in their hearts, so they kept comforting themselves.
"I heard that the treacherous minister takes a bath with milk and sugar every night, and washes his face and brushes his teeth with water soaked with flower petals every morning."
"I also heard that he never goes into the kitchen and takes three steps back when he sees an oily stool, which shows that he loves cleanliness, so he wears new shoes every day."
"It is said that the people who made shoes for him every day were blind, but they still had to make shoes for him. Their hands were broken, but he still didn't let them go."
"I know this too. He changes into new clothes every day. He has one set of clothes inside, one set outside, and one set in the middle. He only wears the clothes inside for half a day, and then throws them away and uses them as rags."
"I've heard of this before. After the inner clothes are used as rags, the middle clothes must also be changed, but after that they are used as mops. The outer clothes are changed at most once every three days."
"I know a little bit about that. I heard that he used corn paper to write and asked people to eat it after use. He used ink with honey added to it, so bees and butterflies would appear when he wrote.
He beat someone to death when he tried to steal something from him."
"It sounds very credible."
So people started to discuss heatedly how the treacherous minister lived.
No one thought about whether that person was the one mentioned earlier, because they all thought it was not the one. They were afraid of the other possibility, so they didn't bring it up again.
When Leyuan returned home, a servant came to tell him a piece of news.
"The old general's daughter died. It was said that she wanted to get married because she got pregnant before marriage, but now something happened and the engagement was cancelled, so she couldn't get married.
But the baby in her belly couldn’t wait, and now the time had come for the baby to be born, but no one found a doctor, so the girl died.”
The servant said to Paradise.
Leyuan nodded to show that he understood, and asked if there was any other news.
"The emperor also knew about this matter and thought that the girl must have given birth at this time in order to leave behind an evil child to avenge her in the future.
The emperor was furious and sent people to kill the girl's entire family. However, the matter was kept secret and could not be admitted, so he just said that there were bandits and now wants you to collect the bodies immediately.
No matter who asks about this, you can’t tell them.”
The servant whispered.
"Who are the girl's whole family?"
Leyuan thought for a moment, frowned and asked in confusion.
"That's the girl's servant and her fiancé.
Although it doesn't matter if the engagement is cancelled, but in the current situation, His Majesty is worried regardless of whether the engagement is cancelled or not.
So they definitely cannot survive.
Even the girl’s child, who was unknown whether he was still alive, was to be killed.
If the child is born alive, then they will be killed and buried together. If the child dies, then he will be burned and the ashes will be taken to the palace to be seen by the emperor.
His Majesty will feel relieved after reading it.
We don’t need to do anything because someone has already done it. We just need to collect the bodies. After collecting the bodies, we have to burn them to avoid getting sick. This will be a better way to eradicate the problem.”
The servant whispered.
"I understand. I'll go right away."
Paradise stood up and said.
Before he left, he pulled his servant beside him and asked, "I just remembered that there is something I haven't done yet, is that right?"
The servant nodded and said it was about finding evidence.
Leyuan nodded, indicating that he would go and collect the body after he remembered.
When he went to collect the bodies, there was already a fire there, and the area around it was almost charred. He quickly asked people to put out the fire. While he was doing so, someone nearby accused him of setting the fire and cursed him.
He asked the servants around him to fight back, but they ended up not winning.
He laughed and told the man that if he cursed him again, he would have his house burned down.
The man seemed to be strangled and said that he couldn't do that because the law didn't allow it.
He replied, "Even if the law does not allow it, people like you still think that I started the fire. Since you think I started the fire, why do you think I can burn others but not you? Are you more powerful than the general's daughter?"
The man walked away in disgrace.
Leyuan patted the servant beside him and said, "Did you see that? I am more powerful than you. That is the only way to deal with those people. If you speak nicely to them, they will curse you back."
The servant nodded and smiled: "My lord is indeed the most amazing."
Leyuan nodded, indicating that you were right.
Everyone is very happy.
The fire was eventually put out without spreading to other surrounding houses, and there were no extra people in the burned house.
The bodies picked out from the burnt charcoal were all those who had died before the fire started.
There is absolutely no possibility of saving him.
Leyuan looked at the black charcoal blocks all over the ground and suddenly thought of a good idea.
He asked his servant to look through the contents.
"I didn't find anything. What are you looking for?"
The servant came out in the dark and asked.
"Haven't you seen the carbon block of a child? Then find me a child."
Paradise replied.
"So, should I go find something that someone doesn't want on the street, or should I just rob it?"
the servant asked.
