After burning the incense, Chen Shu came back with a little sadness and sympathy on his face.
"Old Chen, what did you find out?" Jin Xiangrong asked quickly when he saw him coming back.
"Sir, the head of the Wan family next door unfortunately passed away away from home. The body has just been transported back. The family is feeling sad." Chen Shu replied with a sigh.
"What's going on? I remember that Mr. Wan was a few years younger than me. He was strong and tall. He walked with wind and spoke with a strong voice. He didn't look like someone who died young at all!" Jin Xiangrong was shocked. I never expected that he would leave earlier than me.
Chen Shu shook his head and said: "Master Wan's death was not due to illness, but because of an accident..."
"What accident?" Jin Xiangrong asked, frowning thoughtfully, "Did he encounter robbers? He often goes out for business, so he is very likely to encounter robbers."
Chen Shu would also shake his head: "Sir, you guessed wrong. What Master Wan encountered was not robbers, but gangsters. He was so unlucky. By chance, he met two groups of gangsters seeking revenge while passing through a mountain road. During the fight, their caravan was involved. They couldn't dodge, and those people in the world were so jealous. Who cares if they are enemies? Anyway, if they are in their way, they will be eliminated..."
"Those Jianghu lives are so lawless that they can even attack innocent ordinary people. They care about people's lives and don't care about the laws of the court at all!" Jin Xiangrong said angrily.
"Dad, they killed ordinary people, won't the government arrest them?" Jin Shichu asked curiously.
Jin Xiangrong looked ugly and said: "Those Jianghu people rely on their martial arts skills and don't take the court seriously at all. Even if someone from the government comes to arrest the prisoner, they will resist. They even dare to kill people from the government. After they were caught, they fled, their whereabouts were uncertain, and the government had nothing to do with them. As time went by, those Jianghu people became more and more wanton, not to mention the lives of ordinary people. They would kill if they wanted to, but they wouldn't know how to kill them anyway. When ordinary people are punished, they can only blame their own bad luck..."
Even though Jin Shichu knew that the consciousness of this world belonged to the world of martial arts, he couldn't help but feel disgusted with people in the martial arts world after hearing Jin Xiangrong's words. What is the difference between such Jianghu people who care about human lives and bandits and ferocious beasts?
Chen Shu also said at this time: "Girl, there is chaos outside now. That is to say, the capital where we live is better, and there are relatively few people from the world running here. But in other places, there are many sects that have occupied many fields and forced the people to work for them. , used and exploited the common people as slaves, causing countless people to flee and become refugees. They did not pay taxes to the court, and the local government had less tax revenue and could not help the people when encountering floods and droughts. This also involved Many people have lost their lives and are homeless... They really deserve to die!"
"Doesn't the imperial court have any masters? Or send soldiers to besiege them? Even if the soldiers' martial arts are lower than them, as the saying goes, the number of ants kills the elephant. Even if you use the number of people, you can still destroy several sects, right?" Jin Shichu asked.
"Chu'er, you think too simplistically. To send soldiers to annihilate Jianghu sects is to fill the hole with the lives of soldiers. How many people will die? The soldiers raised by the imperial court are used to protect the family and the country. They are not the same as annihilating Jianghu sects. Compared with other sects, protecting the family and the country is the most important thing." Jin Xiangrong said to Jin Shichu with a serious face, "Moreover, the world is not peaceful now. In addition to constant intrusions from foreign enemies, there are also large and small natural disasters. The country and the country are not peaceful. It’s unstable, so what if all the sects are wiped out? The people are still living in dire straits, whether it’s a foreign war or a civil war, it’s ordinary people like us who are suffering.”
Jin Shichu thought about it and realized that what Jin Xiangrong meant was that today's imperial court is not strong enough, natural and man-made disasters occur frequently, and there are internal and external troubles. Therefore, those who fight and kill are not the main contradiction for the time being. After all, they do not have They raised the flag to rebel, so although the court was aggrieved, it was not in a hurry to annihilate them with great fanfare.
"Then Master Wan's death was in vain, and he couldn't even take revenge?" Jin Shichu said helplessly.
"Isn't his death in vain? You can only admit that you are unlucky. Those gangsters ran away after killing people. They couldn't even find them, let alone take revenge." Chen Shu had a look of compassion on his face, "I heard that Wan Most of the caravan guys brought out by the master died, and the Wan family has to pay each of them a resettlement allowance. As for the goods, they can't be recovered. This time, the Wan family suffered a heavy loss and lost all their money."
"Hey, let's see if their family needs help. Let's help if we can." Jin Xiangrong said to Chen Shu.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask their family." Chen Shu said happily.
Mr. Wan is a generous and generous person. Every time he comes home from business trips, he is always kind to his neighbors. He brings specialties from other places and gives them to the neighbors to try. Therefore, he has a good relationship with his neighbors. This time he was killed. The neighbors were very sympathetic and regretful, and they would not refuse to help if they could.
The incident with the Wan family made Jin Shichu's impression of people in the world much worse. Jin Xiangrong also felt a lot depressed because of the death of the Wan family. He often said to Jin Shichu in a worldly tone: "I thought I He was the one who left the earliest. Unexpectedly, I fell seriously ill and had to go to hell. Finally, I crawled back. But Mr. Wan was a good person. No one thought that he would die young, but he did. I met an accident and lost my life suddenly..."
Jin Shichu had no choice but to comfort him: "So, Dad, no one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident. We can only live every day as the last day of our lives, enjoy what we should enjoy and give up what we should." Just give up, see through life and death, see gains and losses, enjoy life, and don’t wait until you are on your deathbed to regret that you didn’t live as you pleased..."
Jin Xiangrong was originally in a melancholy mood, but when he heard her words, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't expect that you can think more thoroughly than an old man like me at such a young age, but you are right, we ordinary people Your life is very fragile, and you should live at ease and leisurely."
"Yes, yes! So daddy, let's eat braised rabbit head today! It doesn't matter whether it tastes elegant or not, the most important thing is that it tastes good." Jin Shichu said with a smile, and took the opportunity to ask for it. The food that I have been coveting for a long time.
How could Jin Xiangrong not see the cunning in her eyes? But he still agreed and said, "Okay! Dad hasn't eaten for a long time, and he misses it a little."
"Dad, have you ever eaten this dish before?" Jin Shichu was very surprised and asked him quickly.
"This happened a long time ago. At that time, your father and I were your age and were very romantic..."
