Huang Tianba sighed and said: "Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong with them killing corrupt officials. Although the methods are not aboveboard, those corrupt officials are preying on the people in Jiangnan and taking human lives seriously. By doing this, at least they are eliminating harm for the people.

, it can even be said to be a very satisfying thing."

"..."

When he said this, I couldn't help but frown.

Because I know that things will not be that simple.

Sure enough, Huang Tianba was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Until last year, the imperial court assigned an official to Yangzhou named Liu Shizhou."

I said: "I know he is an upright official."

"Not only is he an upright official, but he is also a good official. He has been in office for one year and his accounts are not bad at all. I am the president of the Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce, so I naturally know some inside information. Moreover," Huang Tianba said, "he also actively reported to the court and asked for his depose.

Untouchable status in the three provinces of Jiangnan, and the imperial court’s restrictions on Jiangnan students from entering Beijing to take exams were lifted.”

Untouchables, that was an imperial edict issued by the emperor in anger after Yangzhou was captured, reducing all the people in the three provinces of Jiangnan to untouchables. Not only did the taxes they borne be several times higher than those in other places, but students from the south were also required to take the examination.

They are also subject to more restrictions, basically blocking the career path of southerners.

Just like this, no one in the court could speak for the southerners.

Liu Shizhou was the only anomaly, but this anomaly also received news of his sudden death at the beginning of the year.

"They still attacked Mr. Liu...?"

"Yes." Huang Tianba nodded: "I have always opposed their attack on Liu Shizhou before, and even tried to stop them when they wanted to attack several times, but in the end, they still took the opportunity to kill Mr. Liu."

His words were filled with unspeakable heaviness and regret: "After this time, I began to reflect on our actions. Blind revenge is not rational, so I had objections to them on several subsequent actions.

It is precisely because of this..."

Because of this, his situation at Huisheng Pharmacy became increasingly difficult.

No wonder Wei Zhengbang dared to challenge him blatantly.

"Then, I heard them say that you don't agree with assassinating the prince, why?"

Huang Tianba glanced at me and sighed softly: "Since Liu Shizhou's incident, I found that the power of hatred in my heart has weakened a lot. It is precisely because of this that I have the energy to consider others and consider more people. Third Prince

Going south, if he is really assassinated, the emperor will definitely be furious. The implication will only affect the three provinces, and may bring another bloody storm to Yangzhou. We are highly skilled in martial arts and can enjoy grudges, but those ordinary people are innocent.

How can we let them become the victims of our revenge?"

I didn’t expect that he would have such a big heart!

I looked at him, full of reverence in my heart, and said: "Master Huang, the ancients once said that the difference between heroes and sages is that heroes conquer others, while sages conquer themselves. Can you put aside hatred and serve the people

Consider that you are not only a hero, but also a sage and great hero."

"Sage and great hero?" After hearing these five words, he seemed to find them funny and burst into laughter.

There is a hint of sadness in the laughter.

His laughter startled a flock of birds in the silent mountain forest. When he raised his eyes, he saw the mountain fog slowly dissipating, and a quiet temple slowly appeared in front of him on the mountain covered with red leaves.

"Arrived."
