Chapter 683

The chaos of rivers and mountains is in the hearts of the people.

I don't know who said this sentence first. In my spare time, pinyipin felt that this sentence was full of coquettish and pedantic flavor. When the world was peaceful, it seemed pretentious. But when the world was in chaos, think carefully. In fact, people's hearts have been in chaos all the time. Otherwise, how could it be so fast and thorough?

There is a fierce beast in people's heart. They sleep most of the time. Once they wake up with the smell of blood, it is difficult to control the fierce beast.

Because of the war, how many innocent people have become murderous bandits.

Fang Xie killed again in the county army camp, and then sent powerful generals of the black flag army to re integrate the county soldiers. Since the 30000 people Fang Xie wanted to come from the three governors, he didn't plan to return them. The generals in charge of the troops are the confidants of the three governors. Just like the roar before the death of that Lang, Fang Xie will eventually kill them.

Fang explained that if you don't make mistakes, I won't kill you. That's right.

But how can they not make mistakes?

After leaving the swallow building, Fang Xie asked all the attendants to go back, and then left the big dog in a daze on the third floor of the swallow building. He went downstairs alone and planned to walk along the street. After going downstairs, Fang Xie looked back at the big dog standing high, and suddenly thought whether he was a little difficult for him.

Big dog has always said that he has no desire to restore the country, but that is his heart knot for decades. If he doesn't explain, he's afraid he won't be down-to-earth in his life. He has been running away. Fang Xie wants to help him face it. But when he went downstairs, Fang Xie suddenly found that the figure of the big dog looked so lonely. Fang Xie shook his head and said in his heart that he hoped it was his own illusion.

A while ago, the blood of the Tu people of the black flag army had dried up, and the people began to live a normal life again. In the crowded street, Fang Xie stood up the collar of his black cloak to cover half of his face. On that day, the people of dabaohe brought the black flag army into the city. This face is no stranger in Yongzhou City.

Fortunately, the windbreaker collar designed by Fang Xie is large enough to cover his nose and only show a pair of eyes. It's not easy to recognize it.

He stopped in front of a scholar stall selling words and looked at the words on the table.

To tell the truth, Fang Xie's words are ugly, so he looks at other people's words very beautiful.

"Request word?"

It seems that a 40 year old scholar with a book in his hand raised his eyelids and looked at Fang Xie. Fang Xie shook his head, and the scholar snorted and ignored it.

"Why didn't you ask me whether to buy it or not, but used the word" ask "

Fang Xie asked him.

The scholar rolled his eyelids again and answered with a very natural emphasis: "I'm a scholar. How can I get smelly of yellow and white copper, so I can't say business. If you want words, you can only ask. Do you understand Fenggu, Fenggu?"

Fang Xie shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

The scholar turned his mouth and whispered to himself that he didn't even understand the word "Fenggu". What else do you want?

Fang Xie took out a pile of silver tickets from his cuffs, picked one from the inside and put it on the table: "I want to buy some words."

When the scholar saw the silver note, he was obviously moved. He opened his mouth and shook his head: "if you want to ask for words and buy, I can't write."

Fang Xie picked out a five hundred Liang and put it on the table: "I want to buy some words."

The scholar licked his lips, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became particularly bright: "this guest, you really have vision. Even song Lanqiao, a great Confucian in Yongzhou, praised my words. He said that people have character by looking at my words. Song Lanqiao, do you know? It is a learned Confucian who can look to the southwest and is famous for thousands of miles."

"What do you write?"

"Extensive financial resources"

Fang Xie answer

The scholar was stunned for a moment and looked at Fang Xie strangely: "are these four words... More vulgar? I think you are a person of great status. If you give it away, you might as well write some words and sentences?"

Fang Xie found a thousand Liang silver note and put it down: "write it a hundred times."

The scholar bit his teeth and said, "OK!"

Then he splashed ink. I have to say that this man's handwriting was very fast and excellent. He wrote like a dragon and snake. A large amount of wolf hair dipped in ink flew directly in front of him. Congratulations for getting rich a hundred times. It took only half an hour to write it. The ground was covered with a layer, and he picked up some stones to press the paper. At the end of the last stroke, he raised his wrist and smiled proudly, as if he was very satisfied with the words.

"It's done. Shall I deliver it to your house?"

Fang Xie looked at the 100 pieces of paper, shook his head, then took back the three silver notes, turned and left.

"Hello!"

The scholar was furious: "what do you mean? You said you wanted to buy my words, but now why don't you? I'm going to sue you in the Yamen. Don't go!"

Fang Xie looked back at the scholar and shook his head again: "I wanted to buy character, but I couldn't buy it. In addition... The song Lanqiao you mentioned was destroyed by the scribe a while ago. Before he died, he had to give his concubine to survive. He praised your character for character, so he can't praise you."

The scholar blushed and didn't know what to say.

When Fang Xie left, he spat and scolded. Angrily, he sat down and scolded. A man came over and asked how to sell Guangjin? The scholar answered casually that one or two silver pieces would not be sold if they were less! The man did not speak, took out a silver or two, put it down, took one and left.

The scholar was stunned. He looked at the silver or two and the wealth spread all over the place.

I always think I understand something, but I'm confused again.

On that day, he sold five pieces of money and got five liang of silver. Ten days ago, he didn't sell a copper coin. The next day, he wrote the word "sell" and hung it up. Then he felt a lot easier and more down-to-earth.

……

……

When Fang Xie came to the street corner, he saw two old men playing chess. Five or six people were watching. They were very regular and no one spoke.

A few meters away from them, a beggar curled up under a big locust tree to bask in the sun. There is a broken bowl next to it. There are rice and vegetables in the broken bowl. It seems that the beggar's life is not too hard. In the distance, a wild dog kept staring at this side. Maybe there was only the broken bowl of food in his eyes.

Instead of watching the two old men play chess, Fang Xie sat down next to the beggar and asked, "do you sell the food?"

The beggar opened his eyes and looked at Fang Xie in surprise. When he was sure that Fang Xie was really asking him, he hesitated for a while before tentatively answering, "sell?"

"How to sell it?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Five... Five words?"

The beggar asked tentatively again.

"One hundred Liang"

Fang Xie handed the one hundred Liang silver note to the beggar.

The beggar opened his mouth and could swallow a goose egg. He stretched out his hand, but he didn't dare to take it.

"What else can I do for you?"

Asked the beggar with trembling lips.

"Do you think this one hundred Liang silver is too much?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Yes!"

The beggar nodded energetically: "if you give me a handout, these hundred Liang are really too much. People like me can't exchange silver when they go to the bank with these one hundred Liang silver notes. They are either taken away, beaten with sticks, or tied up. The official said I stole it... I really want to take this silver note, but I can't take it."

Fang Xie nodded and touched the money bag. There were dozens of liang of silver.

"Ten liang?"

He asked the beggar.

"Good!"

The beggar nodded like mashing garlic, took the silver and handed the broken bowl. Fang Xie shook his head and pointed to the hungry wild dog not far away: "feed it."

"Feed it? Why?"

Asked the beggar.

Fang Xie didn't answer, and the beggar couldn't ask again. He put the broken bowl on the roadside and then returned. The wild dog hesitated for a while. Finally, he couldn't stand the temptation of food. He ran over and began to swallow. He wasn't on guard. Look here and grin at passers-by from time to time. The beggar went back and said he really met a strange man. He spent money on the beggar's leftovers to feed wild dogs. No one believed it even if he said it.

Fang Xie looked at the wild dog and shook his head.

He remembered that on the first day he woke up, standing by the dry lake of Luofu, there was a dog crying in the ruins in the distance. Later, the Fang Xie sent people to dig up the ruins and found an old body inside. The old man didn't follow the advice of the black flag army and left his home. As a result, he was shattered by Luo Yao's Jin Gangjie and the house was buried inside.

"There's still some silver here."

Fang Xie handed it to the beggar: "just look for five people in the street. Go west and turn around the street. There is a scholar who sells words and asks them to help buy five paintings. They have a wide source of money."

The beggar was stunned again and said that he had seen many strange people for the first time. But he didn't dare to refuse. Who knows what the master came from, he got up and begged several people in the street to sell words. There were still a few liang of silver left to collect by himself.

"Ask you a question."

When the beggar came back, he explained.

"You said, I walk around the streets. I don't know what else. I've heard a lot about whose widow has a mistress and whose man has a woman outside."

Fang Xie ignored it, remained silent for a while and asked, "when people make trouble, the world is in chaos, and then people's hearts are in chaos. After people's hearts are in chaos, good people become villains. Many simple people become bloodthirsty and can raise a butcher's knife to their former fellow countrymen. How can we stop this?"

The beggar was completely stupid and asked, "are you asking me?"

"Yes"

"This..."

The beggar thought for a while, then sat up straight and answered: "In fact, people's hearts are the most cruel thing. Just like the wild dog over there, he is hungry and doesn't dare to eat people. But once one day he is very hungry and runs to the luanfeng post to eat the dead, he dares to bite the living people the next day. People are the same. They have evil thoughts in their hearts, but they don't need to be hungry at ordinary times Do evil. If you are hungry, your master can bite you. "

"How?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Kill"

The beggar answered naturally: "In this world, there is a lack of a cold-blooded and ruthless person to come out, kill from beginning to end, and everyone trembles. No one dares to oppose him. What he says is what, so that order can be restored. Although I haven't read any books, I also know that the founding emperors of all dynasties didn't have a million lives in their hands? Many, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands."

"The evil in people's hearts can be taught by promoting the good in times of peace. Everyone promotes the good, and the evil will hide obediently and dare not run around. People are imitating each other, whatever happens to them. Like dogs, follow the good people and keep the good. Follow the evil people and only bite people. But in troubled times, there is a chicken Ba Yong for promoting the good?"

The beggar said a rude word, quickly shut up and smiled apologetically.

"Kill the dog. There is a new grave in the west of Luoyao house. Bury the dog by the grave."

"Why?"

"Keeping good"

Fang Xie got up and put down the one hundred Liang silver note: "thank you."

"Thank you?"

The beggar was very surprised: "thank me for killing the dog?"

"Both"

Fang Xie patted the dirt on his clothes and took a look at the dog that showed a fierce light towards him.

"You, what's the matter?"

The beggar couldn't help asking curiously.

Fang Xie tidied up his clothes and walked away slowly. The beggar watched him leave until Fang Xie completely disappeared from his sight. Then he pulled out another bowl of leftovers from the haystack next to the big locust tree and whistled at the wild dog. The wild dog hesitated and finally came over tentatively. When the wild dog bowed his head to eat, the beggar quickly made a circle with a rope Strangle the dog and drag it. Before long, the dog has no breath.

Beggars are good at killing dogs.
