Boom boom Khotan...
A carriage was driving slowly on the road back to Sioux City, its wheels rolling and making a rhythmic sound.
In the carriage, Song Yuan looked at Zhao Bingfang who was lying down, kicked him gently with his feet, and looked up at Su Dongchu.
"Second brother, he is also your disciple after all. Are you being too harsh?"
"Who would have thought that he was so weak and that if I made a little move, he would fall asleep for such a long time." Su Dongchu said with emotion: "My fantasy life should be to kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace for thousands of miles. When the matter is over, I will leave and leave behind. Hide and name.”
"But I didn't expect that the two disciples I recruited have never lost a fight or won a fight."
When Jiang Yifeng heard Su Dongchu's words, he smiled with satisfaction. It was not in vain that he forced Su Dongchu to recite poems every day.
Only by memorizing enough can you be able to cope with various situations without exposing your secrets.
"What a poem!"
Zhao Bingfang suddenly sat up and looked at Su Dongchu with gleaming eyes, "Teacher, this poem seems incomplete. Can you complete it?"
"cannot."
Su Dongchu was stunned and refused directly, and then asked: "You didn't wake up until you heard me reciting poetry, right?"
"Maybe!"
Zhao Bingfang was not sure. The first time he regained consciousness, he heard Su Dongchu reciting poetry.
As for Su Dongchu calling him weak, he didn't mind.
He is a scholar and a scribe, so naturally he cannot compare with those rude warriors.
"You are really obsessed with poetry."
Jiang Yifeng suddenly had the urge to ask Su Dongchu to knock Zhao Bingfang unconscious again to see if he could really wake him up with poetry.
But when I think that I am a master and belong to the elders, I feel embarrassed to do such unethical things.
"snort!"
Zhao Bingfang snorted coldly, "You clearly know that the dog officer named Cao Rui is not a good person, why don't you hand him over to the county guard?"
Jiang Yifeng asked, "Why should I hand him over to the county governor?"
Zhao Bingfang said: "Of course he should be punished!"
Jiang Yifeng continued to ask: "What then?"
"Then?"
Zhao Bingfang was stunned for a moment and replied: "Of course, let the county guard punish him. His behavior of killing good people and taking merit will require beheading according to the court law."
"I'm not talking about this and then, but what will happen to Qinghe County after Cao Rui is arrested?"
"You don't have to worry about this. The imperial court will send a new county magistrate to govern Qinghe County."
"Can you ensure that the new county magistrate is not someone like Cao Rui?"
"This...can't be done."
Zhao Bingfang shook his head.
After all, he was not a low-level scholar like Tang Shubai and Xu Ning. From time to time, he would hear dirty things from his father, and some of the things that dog officials did were even more hateful than Cao Rui.
Therefore, in his subconscious mind, good officials in the Zhou Dynasty are particularly rare nowadays.
Even if Cao Rui is executed, the new county magistrate will most likely not be a good official.
"Since there is no guarantee that the new county magistrate will be a good official, then why should I hand Cao Rui over?" Jiang Yifeng continued: "I have a handle on him. As long as he is disobedient, I can deal with him at any time. A Between a controllable dog officer and an unknown dog officer, which one do you think is more beneficial to me?"
Zhao Bingfang was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head, "It is undeniable that Cao Rui is beneficial to you, but you can't let him, a dog official, go unpunished just because he is beneficial to you."
"how to say?"
Jiang Yifeng thought for a while and replied: "Like you, I hate corrupt officials very much, but you have to figure out one thing: is the current court completely corrupt? If the court is completely corrupt, no matter how much Qinghe County replaces it, The county magistrate is useless.”
"It has been more than 800 years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. It has been powerful in all directions, and all barbarians have surrendered. It has controlled everything and looked down on the world. How can it be corrupted?"
"Yeah?"
Jiang Yifeng smiled coldly and asked: "If the Great Zhou Dynasty is so powerful, why does it owe Jiujiang County three years of military pay? Why is there a flood in Yuzhou with almost no rescue, resulting in starvation and death all over the land?"
"No one cares about floods, no one saves fires. In order to welcome guests from other countries and drive away homeless people, even if such a country is strong, it is already in decline."
Although it has only been a few months since he traveled through time, he can clearly feel that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger now, and there is an aura of decay everywhere.
However, the fact that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been able to last for more than 800 years is already quite impressive. It must be understood that the dynasty in the previous life would have reached its end in 300 years.
"this……"
Zhao Bingfang hesitated.
Jiang Yifeng continued: "Perhaps in your eyes, the Great Zhou Dynasty is still very powerful, but when you read history, you should understand that many powerful dynasties suddenly weakened."
"Since Dazhou has shown signs of weakness, why don't I think about myself and make myself as strong as possible so that when the crisis comes, I can protect myself and the people around me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Bingfang stopped talking completely.
…
On a new day, the sun shines on Coal Village.
In a thatched house, Cao Meng took his sister Cao Mengyao and stayed there for a night in a nervous mood.
He originally thought that the people in Coal Village would lock him up, or at least teach him a lesson to avenge the person he stabbed.
However, not only did he not encounter any torture, he was even taken to a simple thatched house at night.
This thatched house was leaky and didn't even have a decent door panel. If it weren't for the charcoal burning in the house, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
However, after seeing other houses in Mei Village, Cao Meng knew that the thatched house he lived in was already pretty good.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
Cao Mengyao is a very cute girl, with a pink face that makes people want to pinch her.
"..."
Cao Meng didn't know how to answer.
In fact, he was also a little hungry. The problem was that with his current status, he was too embarrassed to ask for food from Coal Village.
boom!
At this moment, the door was pushed open by a huge force.
Hearing the noise, Cao Meng immediately protected Cao Mengyao behind him, looked at the door warily, and found that it was Li Erniu.
Cao Meng was deeply impressed by this man who was stronger than himself. It was he who broke the legs of the village chief Cao Jin with a stick.
"What are you going to do?"
Cao Meng looked at Li Erniu with a wary face, mentally prepared to risk his life to protect his sister.
Li Erniu glanced at Cao Meng coldly, and put down the two bowls he was holding. There was fragrant rice inside, and the rice was topped with gravy. The aroma was fragrant.
"This is breakfast for you two brothers and sisters."
Gulu!
Cao Meng and Cao Mengyao looked at the rice covered with gravy and kept swallowing their saliva. This was better than what they ate during the holidays.
"Is this... my decapitation meal?"
Cao Meng looked at the sumptuous food and looked up at Li Erniu.
