Yun Chao is not using superstition to deceive the people. Even in later atheistic countries, don't there still be martyrs' cemeteries and memorial halls?
No matter when it comes, life cannot lack a sense of ritual.
Human beings are intelligent creatures with richer spiritual lives than any known creature. If we lose our spiritual sustenance, it will be a very terrible thing.
With the technological development of later generations reaching that level, why do people's happiness index drop? Even in the wealthier areas, people's happiness index gets lower. It's because they have lost their faith and spiritual sustenance.
If everyone believed that having an affair would not bring good results, would anyone still have an affair?
of course.
Definitely not that much, though.
A person without faith is very scary.
Their aim is that as long as they are careful and don't get caught by the law, they can do whatever they want without restraint.
Even if they know that sooner or later they will be punished by the law, some people are not afraid because they have already enjoyed it before they were caught, which is enough.
Anyway, there is no next life. This life will be completely over when you die. What are you afraid of? Enjoy it first!
Yun Chao came out of Zhang Shu's house with a heavy heart.
Now that one of his men has died, he is so depressed. If more people die in the future, will he suffer from depression?
Yun Chao finally understood what it meant to be kind and not to wield troops.
It is obvious that a small sacrifice of our own can be exchanged for a large number of casualties of the enemy. Do you want to do that?
After sacrificing one of your own, will you feel guilty?
After feeling guilty, will you still do something like this if you encounter it in the future?
After doing it, will you still feel guilty?
If you feel guilty every time, for a long time and too many times, will you have a mental breakdown?
These issues must be considered clearly in advance, otherwise by the time the power has not developed, you will go crazy first, which would be ridiculous.
…
The next morning, as soon as Yun Chao had breakfast, a village guard came to report.
"Brother Chao, a man who calls himself Cao, said he was sent by Magistrate Sun and wants to see you."
"oh?"
Yun Chao touched his chin. He guessed it was Cao Yufeng. He didn't know what Magistrate Sun had sent him to do.
"Okay, let him in."
Not long after, Cao Yufeng walked in.
Upon seeing Yun Chao, Cao Yufeng immediately saluted: "Congratulations, Inspector Yun. You easily wiped out the bandits in Woniu Mountain. What a joy to congratulate you!"
Yun Chao didn't have the time to argue with Cao Yufeng: "Old Cao, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. You know, I don't like to beat around the bush."
Cao Yufeng was very embarrassed. He was originally the patrol inspector of Sanshui Town. He was a higher level than Yun Chao and was his immediate boss.
Now he has been demoted to Dutou, but Yun Chao has been promoted to one level, two levels higher than himself. I really don't want to see him.
However, Cao Yufeng did not dare to disobey Magistrate Sun's order. He belonged to Lieutenant Wu, and now Lieutenant Wu was dead. Once he offended Magistrate Sun, he might be arrested, let alone continue to be the leader.
"Inspection Yun, Magistrate Sun wants to see you. He said that he has urgent matters to discuss with you, so he asked you to go there quickly."
Cao Yufeng came from Woniu Mountain.
Magistrate Sun sent two of his men to Woniu Mountain to look for Yun Chao, but they didn't go at all. They found a place to hide for a while, and then returned and said they didn't see Yun Chao.
Magistrate Sun was at his wits end. If he could not replenish the grain in the granary within a short period of time, not only would his official position be in jeopardy, but his life would also be in danger.
In desperation, Magistrate Sun had to find Cao Yufeng. In his impression, Cao Yufeng and Yun Chao should have a good relationship.
Cao Yufeng received an order from Magistrate Sun and must find Yun Chao within one day and bring him to Magistrate Sun.
After leaving the county government office, Cao Yufeng went directly to Woniu Mountain.
As he walked, Cao Yufeng's liver trembled.
Others didn't know that the bandits in Woniu Mountain were raised by Wu Xianwei. As Wu Xianwei's confidant, how could Cao Yufeng not know.
Of course, he only knew that Wu County Lieutenant raised a group of bandits in the Woniu Mountain area. The specific details were not clear. There was another person who was in contact with the bandits, and Wu County Lieutenant did not let him interfere at all.
It was rumored that Lieutenant Wu was killed by bandits from Wuniu Mountain. Even the government officials said so after investigating.
However, Cao Yufeng didn't believe it.
At least, not as convinced as most people.
The bandits in Woniu Mountain were raised by Wu County Lieutenant. Why did they kill Wu County Lieutenant?
Could it be that the spoils are divided unevenly?
Even if the spoils are unevenly divided, the bandits in Woniu Mountain don't need to be so high-profile, right?
Wouldn't it be okay to kill Lieutenant Wu secretly? With so many people entering the city together, wouldn't it be obvious to the government that Lieutenant Wu was killed by himself?
Killing ordinary people and killing court officials are completely different in nature.
The bandits in Woniu Mountain often deal with Wu County Lieutenant, so it is impossible not to know this.
Knowing that they would be surrounded by government soldiers, the bandits in Woniu Mountain were still so brazen. What were they trying to do?
Is it just to become famous?
He couldn't figure it out, and Cao Yufeng didn't dare to figure it out.
I feel that things here are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Maybe there is something I don't know.
If you don’t know, just don’t know. Some things are better not to be known so clearly.
Wu County Lieutenant's front leg had just enmity with that boy Yun Er, and his back leg was dead.
Is there any relationship between the two?
Cao Yufeng thought it would be safer not to inquire so clearly.
However, things in the world cannot be ignored just because you want to know them.
When Cao Yufeng arrived near Woniu Mountain to investigate, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Woniu Mountain is very big. Yun Chao can seal off an area near the bandit's village, but he cannot seal off the entire Woniu Mountain.
With so many large trucks carrying grain back to Wolong Village, it was impossible for no one to see them along the way.
Although the gang of boys did not let anyone get close to them, the common people were not stupid either. They knew that Youxiang Yong had destroyed the bandit's village, and now they saw so many big cars pulling things coming from the village, so it would be strange not to make random guesses.
Some people say that what is being pulled in the cart must be gold and silver treasures, some say that what is being pulled must be women who were robbed by bandits on the mountain, and some say that it must be food...
Bandits are very wealthy in the eyes of ordinary people.
After robbing so many good things, how could there be no money?
Yun Chao broke into the bandit's stronghold and must have gotten a lot of good things!
After a few days, the news had spread.
Now many people in Woniu Town know that the person who broke into the mountain stronghold and eliminated the bandits was the patrol inspector of Sanshui Town. It is said that he was a young man named Yun Er.
Being able to become an inspector at such a young age means his skills are definitely extraordinary and definitely better than the original inspector in Woniu Town. No wonder he was able to eliminate the bandits in Woniu Mountain!
After careful investigation, Cao Yufeng realized that the matter was not that simple. There was definitely something wrong here!
