Seeing Su Xinghai rushing towards them, those strong men quickly planned to fight back, but they had barely practiced three moves and two moves, and they had no problem bullying ordinary people with their strong bodies.
But it would not be enough to fight against a disciple of a sect like Su Xinghai. Su Xinghai punched, kicked, and punched again, without even drawing his sword. In just a few strokes, he knocked out those evil servants one by one. He was beaten until he fell to the ground.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Watching Su Xinghai teach the evil servants a lesson, the passers-by around him also burst into lively applause. They had long disliked these evil servants. They rely on their strength every day, and now someone finally came to deal with them, even if they didn't like Su Xinghai. The result, but the process of teaching the evil servant is still quite enjoyable to watch.
"Tell me, where is the prefect?"
Su Xinghai stepped on the chest of an evil servant and asked.
"Why are you asking this?" The servant who was stepped on asked with difficulty.
"What are you doing? Of course I have to teach him a lesson. In the past few days, I have heard enough of the evil young man's deeds in Luoyang City. I am leaving today, just in time to eliminate harm for the people." Su Xinghai said righteously. .
However, when Su Xinghai was questioning the strong man, no one noticed that Meng Xiucai had quietly crawled away.
Of course, no one is paying attention to Meng Xiucai now, because the protagonist everyone is watching is no longer him, but Su Xinghai.
Meng Xiucai crawled into an alley with difficulty, but when he was about to continue crawling forward, a figure blocked him.
Meng Xiucai did not raise his head, but planned to go around directly.
"Are you just going to leave? Don't you want to see how that person avenges you?"
Meng Xiucai paused, but he did not answer, but continued to crawl forward.
"You are also a scholar, right? Although I don't know who said the saying 'A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated', but I often hear it from a scholar friend of mine. I think what he said is right, a person must live alone If there is no dignity, then he might as well die."
Meng Xiucai still didn't answer when he heard this. Xiao Liu smiled lightly, turned around and left.
But just then.
"From the Book of Rites and Confucianism." A hoarse, stuttering and unclear voice came.
"Huh?" Xiao Liu turned back curiously.
"What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"
The other party seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and he already didn't know how to speak. What he said was not unreasonable, but not clear at all.
Meng Xiucai swallowed and then said again word for word:
"Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated. From "Book of Rites: Confucianism": Confucian scholars can be loved but not robbed; they can be approached but not forced; they can be killed but not humiliated."
Hearing that Meng Xiucai was finally willing to speak, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Liu's lips.
"Thank you for your advice, brother, but it seems that you haven't done it yourself, right? Moreover, the "Book of Rites·Confucianism" sounds a bit like the code of conduct of Confucian scholars. Does this, brother, tarnish the word Confucianism?" Xiao Six asked with a chuckle.
"I am not worthy of being called a Confucian scholar." Meng Xiucai replied directly.
"But Xiong Tai still looks like a Confucian scholar, doesn't he? Otherwise, he wouldn't still be wearing that crown now."
Xiao Liu looked at Meng Xiucai with a chuckle. Even if the man was beaten just now, he was not protecting his face, but his crown. And just when the group of servants were about to take off his crown, Su Xinghai happened to appear in time.
After listening to Xiao Liu's words, Meng Xiucai couldn't help but raised his head and looked at Xiao Liu.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's who you are that matters. You can treat me as a nosy person." Xiao Liu chuckled.
"Nosy? Are you trying to help me?"
Meng Xiucai looked at Xiao Liu, his eyes were firm and sharp.
Looking into Meng Xiucai's eyes, Xiao Liu chuckled and said:
"Only you can help yourself in this world, and do you need my help? Or, do you want my help?"
After listening to Xiao Liu's words, Meng Xiucai couldn't help but ponder. After a long time, he looked at Xiao Liu who was smiling lightly and asked.
"Can you read my mind?"
Xiao Liu shook his head and said:
"No, I am neither a god nor can I read minds. I just have a guess."
"guess?"
"Yes. A very simple guess, a person who ruined his whole family because of his anger, why would he live in an ignoble way? What is the purpose of his life? Is it simply because he is afraid of death? To seek revenge?"
Xiao Liu looked at Meng Xiucai with a chuckle.
"What do you think?" Meng Xiucai asked.
"I didn't know it at first, but I later heard that you would rather eat food from the dead than accept help from others. This behavior of not eating what comes to you, plus the fact that you eat three heads every time you ask for food from a dead person, And the crown on your head shows that you are a stubborn and principled person.
And such a stubborn person must not be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, because people who are afraid of death will not care about the source of food. Having food is enough.
So you are not the first type of person, but a person who wants revenge. You want to imitate King Goujian of Yue. "
Xiao Liu looked at Meng Xiucai, and Meng Xiucai looked at Xiao Liu, their eyes facing each other. One was full of confidence, while the other was full of fear.
But before Meng Xiucai could speak, Xiao Liu chuckled again and said:
"But you are destined not to get revenge."
"Why?"
"Because you are pedantic and too principled."
After hearing Xiao Liu's words, Meng Xiucai fell silent, but Xiao Liu continued:
"You have always regarded yourself as a Confucian scholar, and you only want to take revenge through normal means. In your opinion, knights use force to break the law, so you never seek their help. Just like today, you can't even look at it. Leave without looking at the person.
Because being a Confucian scholar makes you think that you and he are not the same person, you can't take revenge through him, can you? You think that is wrong. You think that one day there will always be imperial envoys from above to inspect, and then you will come out to complain, right? "
"If you really think what I said, then I can only say that you are too naive. Your matter has been going on for so long, don't you understand?
It is true that there are honest officials in this world, but please do not regard corrupt officials as fools. They have been able to live for such a long time. To some extent, they are smarter and more difficult to deal with than honest officials.
If you want to deal with them, you have to be more cunning and cunning than them. Otherwise, you have absolute power and are not afraid of any of their machinations. But alas, you have neither. "
Xiao Liu sighed and shook his head.
