It's a rare opportunity for Wang Ying to show off in front of others. Seeing the people's response was so enthusiastic, and then I thought about how many girls and wives were hidden among them. What if some of them like ours? The more he thought about it, the more his heart surged. He couldn't help but feel passionate. He jumped up and stabbed Cai Jiu twice. While Cai Jiu screamed, he cut off two pieces of flesh on his chest.
The dwarf triumphantly weighed the human flesh in his hands, and shouted seriously: "This meat is offered to the sky!" After saying this, he threw a piece of meat into the sky, and then shouted: "This meat is offered to the earth!" and dropped another piece of meat to the ground. Throw it, this is considered a sacrifice to heaven and earth.
Cao Cao nodded secretly after seeing this. Among all the people in Liangshan, this dwarf was the one he despised the most. Unexpectedly, crooked people have strange uses, so these two actions against him were indeed serious.
Wang Ying shouted again: "Cover people's eyes!" He jumped with his knife, pulled off a large piece of skin from Cai Jiu's eyelids, lowered it to cover Cai Jiu's eyes, then patiently and slowly started to cut, cut a piece, and then went to Throw it into the crowd.
Cao Cao was so frightened that he raised his face and shouted: "You are a little boy who knows how to make trouble. There are so many people, they fight over each other and blow up the camp. Even our brothers are not spared." He secretly said that this boy is really useless. , some things almost led to disaster.
Wang Dwarf Hu was also startled. He was a cart driver and knew how terrifying it was for mules and horses to lose control. With so many people here, losing control was more terrifying than hundreds of mules and horses. He didn't dare to say anything at the moment and cut people carefully. Deng Fei next to him was fascinated.
When Wang Xiaohu was driving around, he heard people talk about Ling Chi's meticulousness. He relied on his martial arts skills and cruelty, so he felt that it was nothing more than that. The previous sacrifices to heaven and earth to cover people's eyes were quite decent, but now The stuffing was exposed at the bottom, and more than fifty cuts were made randomly. Cai Jiu's blood flowed all over the ground. When his head tilted, he was dead.
Deng Fei couldn't believe it. He checked his breathing with his hand and realized that he had been fooled by Wang Dwarf. He said angrily: "You are a pretentious guy. You are such a trendy craftsman. Why don't you give me a cut? Anyway, cut him." Three to four hundred dollars."
Wang Aohu argued to himself: "Who knew this guy was so fat that he couldn't help but cut it? Yes, according to the rules, the prisoner must be given ginseng soup first to hang himself, and ginseng should be fed from time to time in the middle. Otherwise, even Iron King King Kong wouldn't be able to survive. Why don’t you prepare ginseng?”
Deng Fei was so angry that he ignored him, chopped off Cai Jiu's head with a knife, and kicked him off the stage.
Cao Cao said: "Mother-in-law, look, your family's enemy has paid for it with blood." After saying this, he was surprised, but saw the mother-in-law staring at the stage with her eyes fixed on the stage, with a happy expression on her face as if a great revenge had been avenged. I don't know when Already exhausted.
Cao Cao sighed, thinking that after all, this woman saw her enemies suffer and die before she died. However, there were countless families in the world who were killed. Even if he really came to power again, would the world really become a better place?
Just like in his previous life, although he had a lifetime of success, how many dead bones were beneath his feet?
The so-called heroes rise up and climb all the way to the top, but how many families are displaced and separated from their families behind the scenes?
Thinking about this, he felt uninterested for a moment. He sighed secretly and called Mu Hongshixiu: "I will remember to tell King Chao Tian that the people now regard him as a god and let him personally give orders to teach the people to slowly retreat from the outside and the inside." , Don't push or step on her. Another thing, this mother-in-law is a miserable person, so she asked a few brothers to buy a coffin for a proper burial. As for other things, we will talk about it in detail when we get to the government office tomorrow. "
Mu Hong nodded in agreement, but Shi Xiu was very sensitive and asked doubtfully: "Isn't my brother here? Where are you going?"
Cao Cao said: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go to sleep first."
Shi Xiudao: "There is no peace in the city now. It is enough for the Mu family brother to report to King Chao Tian. The younger brother will send him back."
Cao Cao was unwilling to brush off his brother's kindness, so he nodded in agreement.
At this time, the audience cried and vented for a while, and some people began to complain. Chao Gai stepped aside from the high platform, and Pei Xuan and Huang Wenbing still accepted the verdict.
Cao Cao and Shi Xiu quietly walked out of the crowd and walked. After a while, the tens of thousands of people crying and laughing, and the mixed joys and sorrows were all left behind. There were only long black roads in front of them, and they didn't know where they all lead. Where to go.
Shi Xiu was an obedient person. He saw that Cao Cao was not very interested and didn't say much, so he thought to himself: "Seeing that the city was successfully captured, a lot of dog officials were killed, and many new heroes joined the army, it was a great harvest. Why is my brother unhappy? Could it be that he gave up his reputation to Liang Shanbo, so he is unhappy? That’s not right, he was the one who wanted to give it to Liangshan, and he also had the intention to conquer Liangshan. Isn’t this reputation rotten in his own pot? "
There are a lot of speculations in my mind at the moment.
Cao Cao walked for a while and noticed that Shi Xiu was a little uneasy, so he said: "Brother, look at how many people are suffering in this mere Jiangzhou city. When we see the displeasure, we scold the dog officials and the foolish kings. But if someone else becomes the emperor, will the world really be better off?"
Shi Xiu saw that there was no one around, and said boldly: "My younger brother Ruoyi said that if my elder brother can be the emperor, and all the brothers can be high-ranking officials, and love the people like sons, he will naturally do better than these dog officials."
Cao Cao shook his head: "Although we brothers are brave men, it's hard to say how good we really are. Brothers are always willing to help people in danger and help those in need. With all our abilities, we never resort to bullying. He is indeed a good person, and Pei Xuan is selfless at heart and a good person; others, Luan Tingyu, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Xue Yong, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, etc. are just ordinary people; as for Mu Hong, Zhang Heng, Huang Wenbing and others , they are either doing evil, seeking wealth or killing, or they are greedy for power and jealous, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are bad people."
The more Shi Xiu listened, the more confused he became: "If the elder brother doesn't like them, how can he still be brothers? But the younger brother doesn't know what the elder brother wants."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "I don't look at people simply as good or evil. In my opinion, good people, ordinary people, and bad people are all matters of the moment. Their temperament will change due to different circumstances and different environments. Good and bad, good and evil, are all originally thought in this mind. Good people may become bad, and bad people may learn to be good. Therefore, there is a need for a rules and regulations to curb the evil in people's hearts and guide the good in people's hearts. I used to think that this rule is convenient It is Chao Gang's national law, but today he changed his mind."
Shi Xiu was quite intelligent. When Cao Cao said this, he understood: "My brother is saying that if we can control people's hearts with rules and regulations, we don't have to worry about what a person thinks. As long as he is willing to abide by the rules and do good deeds, he is a good person." , isn’t that the law of Chao Gang?”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "If we really followed the national law, Cai Jiu and others would have died a long time ago. Why do they continue to enjoy the glory? If we followed the national law, the old woman should have been avenged long ago. Why was she driven crazy? Just because the people who enforce the law, Invisibly, there is power outside the law. Since the law cannot treat everyone equally, it is no longer a law. If the rules cannot bind everyone, they will naturally become no rules. They are just legitimate knives in the hands of a few people."
Shi Xiu listened and thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: Those dog officials in power keep talking about the laws of the country, but how can they use those laws to restrain themselves? Unless someone at a higher level comes to control him, the problem is always the same. People at a higher level may be willing to control the lower level, but how can they be willing to restrain themselves?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had no solution. I couldn't help but scratch my head and said with a sad face: "It's difficult. It's really difficult. Does Brother have any good ideas?"
Cao Cao exhaled and said helplessly: "If I have a good plan, I won't be depressed anymore."
Although Lao Cao was a lifelong hero, in detail, he has always been in the stage of fighting for the world. During war, meeting the needs of the war is the highest need. This is a matter of life and death, which is very different from governing the country in peacetime. However, he did not truly unify the country, so he actually lacked experience in governing the country in the true sense.
When it comes to how to train troops, how to lead subordinates, and how to win decisive battles, Lao Cao is a great expert. However, when it comes to how to make the country peaceful and the people peaceful, and the officials to be clear and transparent, although he has many ideas, he has never really put them into practice.
In the more than a year since he came to this Song Dynasty, he has carefully observed that although there are powerful enemies here and undercurrents are lurking, they have not been discovered after all. On the surface, there has been peace for many years. If the people's lives are compared to those in the late Han Dynasty, they are already like gods. Living method. But even in such a world, it is full of acts of robbery and bullying. For example, Ximen Qing almost killed him at one time, but when his true spirit awakened and his strength became stronger, Ximen Qing's family was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
In this world, although most people can survive, do they really live the way people should? I'm afraid not necessarily.
These thoughts had been lingering in his mind until today, when he cut Cai Jiu and saw Granny Wentian who was driven crazy by the world, they suddenly burst out. Even with his tempered mind, he couldn't help but feel at a loss.
——Even if I overthrow the Song Dynasty and defeat the Jin and Liao Dynasties, will the world really be better? Cao Cao had no such confidence at this moment.
Being accustomed to seeing Cao Cao's high-spirited demeanor and commanding attitude, it was the first time he saw him so depressed and helpless, sighing repeatedly. Shi Xiu felt sorry for his eldest brother for no reason, and deliberately smiled and said: "Brother thinks too far, we are just in the world now." We are a group of good brothers who are like-minded. It is not too late to worry about these worries when the eldest brother becomes emperor."
After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile: "Brother, that's not bad. Maybe I'm just trying to make trouble for myself."
When Shi Xiu saw Cao Cao smiling, he immediately felt relieved. In fact, he didn't know that it was this seemingly mediocre thinking that formed the watershed between a real hero and a politician.
Many people think that idealists are naive and ridiculous, but they don't know that the real heroes are often idealists.
A person who can become emperor at any time, but always cherishes the original intention of the Han Dynasty to conquer the West. Such a person's considerations will never completely stop in the present reality.
Naturally, Shi Xiu couldn't think of this. He was racking his brains to think of some interesting words to make his elder brother happy.
While I was thinking hard, my eyes suddenly lit up, and a small building covered with colorful lights appeared in front of me. On the door were three big characters: Yiqing Building.
"Brother!" Shi Xiu grabbed Cao Cao's sleeve.
Cao Cao turned his head, looking confused.
Shi Xiu blushed slightly: "This, this is a brothel."
"Yes." Cao Cao said confidently: "Why else are we here?"
Shi Xiu was stunned.
"I feel upset tonight, but it's not like I can figure out the reasons for this kind of thing in a moment. It just so happens that the big thing is over, so I came here to relax for a while." The look on Cao Cao's face was like that of the man who just worried about his family, country and world. Not like him, he said proudly: "I specifically asked Zhang Shun if there are prostitutes in this city? Zhang Shun said that Yiqinglou is the number one place to go in Jiangzhou. As the saying goes, people gamble in groups and go to whoring alone. I originally planned to come alone. Who knows that you must accompany me, so I might as well open your eyes."
"Little brother... I'd better wait outside for my brother." Shi Xiu's face turned redder.
Cao Cao looked at Shi Xiu strangely, and gradually revealed the smile of a veteran looking at a newcomer: "Brother, are you still a young man? Then I will show you something."
There are some teachings: Pangu opened the sky for thousands of years, how long will the sufferings of the humble people end? The stubble is as bitter as a chicken and a leek, and the miserable life is like a horse or a cow. He changed his cloth clothes into purple ribbons and returned to holding an official ax to pick people's oil. How easy is it to establish a heart and a world? A drunken sinking into eternal sorrow.
