Chapter 7 Inhumane 1

"It seems that the owner of the solar eclipse is not just one murder." In the Huiji House, people are talking about it.

At this time, two rows of guards were transferred from the inner house. People immediately stopped talking and stood on both sides of the lobby on a schedule. I saw a middle-aged man with a yellow scarf wrapped in his head and wings behind his ears coming out and arching his hand to everyone and saying, "Dear brothers, the master is divination. At this moment, I can't be idle, and the discussion will be moved to tomorrow noon. Everyone, please come back."

"Did you ask my brother, is there any new sign of this solar eclipse?" A man stepped out of the shift and said with his hand.

"This solar eclipse is not small, and the matter of the owner is extraordinary. Everything has been verified before, but the master thinks that there should be new fierce questions, and it will be verified in the future. At this moment, the master is resting, and he will have another lesson later.

"When the church is so smooth, I just hope there will be no loss."

"Although Taoist brother rest assured, with the presence of the master, everything will turn bad luck into good luck."

When the middle-aged Taoist was about to retreat into the inner house, there was a sudden sound of ** outside. A young believer squeezed in from the crowd and shouted, "Brothers, stay and report the emergency war!"

The middle-aged Taoist turned around and looked at the young believer. The believers went to the hall to salute according to the etiquette of Tianshi Dao, and then got up and reported, "A few days ago, Wu Xingtai Shou somehow ordered the officers and soldiers to kill thousands of residents in the city, and then escaped from Wuxing City."

"The Taishou killed the residents?" The middle-aged Taoist stared wide and didn't believe what the young man said.

"This is true. Wu Xingtai sent troops to kill the residents in the middle of the night and fled at night before the early morning. Some Wuxing residents have come to the meeting with the elderly and children.

There was a sudden uproar inside and outside the house. Many people shouted angrily regardless of the solemn etiquette.

Middle-aged Taoist people, like everyone else, have righteous indignation on their faces. However, he slowly calmed down later. He waved his hand and said to the crowd, "Brothers, please stay for the time being. I have reported this matter to the master. Do you still need to discuss it today and ask the master to make a decision. After saying that, he hurried in.

After about half an hour, the group turned out of the inner house. In addition to the middle-aged Taoist, the group was surrounded by a man in a Taoist costume. That man is Sun En.

"Dear Taoist friends, I know the news of the war that just came. The main evil of solar eclipse is not good luck. Although we have gone through all kinds of hardships in the battle, we are doing the way for heaven. Although there are sacrifices, for the sake of heaven, it is all a blessing, not a murder. The so-called murderer is nothing more than the brutality of Wu Xingtai Shou.

Everyone nodded repeatedly in the lobby.

Sun En continued: "As a local official, it is a matter of public indignation between people and gods. What I predict today is to ask for the will of God. At the right time, he was instructed by the gods and ordered us to urgently mobilise troops to save Wu Xing's people from water and fire. This matter should not be delayed, and Yao Shuai was specially ordered to go. Where is Brother Yao?

At this time, a general in a uniform stepped out of the column and bowed his hand: "Please tell me."

"The speed headquarters attacked Wu Xing. After obtaining the city, remember to keep the people first, kill only officers and soldiers, and do not disturb the people. Let's go now, no delay!"

"Yes!" The general answered and strode out of the house.

"Where is Brother Lu Dao?"

The middle-aged Taoist who came out to preach for the first time turned from behind Sun En to the front of the hall and saluted Sun En.

Sun En nodded and said, "For the time being, you will lead the headquarters to replace Yao Shuai and inspect the defense of the bank. In addition to Lu Shuai's troops, other departments sent troops north to defend along the coast of Zhejiang to prevent Jin soldiers from raiding. The rest of the Taoist friends, please come back and do your own duties. There must be no mistake.

Everyone got the order and all retreated. Only the middle-aged Taoist named Lu stood aside and did not withdraw with the crowd. Sun En looked at him and didn't say anything.

When everyone left, the Taoist surnamed Lu stepped forward, arched his hand to Sun En and said, "Brother, this arrangement is very good."

Sun En said "um" but still didn't say anything. There was a melancholy look in his eyes.

The man said again, "Brother, you don't have to worry about it."

"Yuanlong, how can you not worry? When I first came to office, I was an official in Wu Xing. He has served and preached for many years, and his relatives, friends, followers and students are all over Wuxing. This disaster is really unexpected. I just don't know what will happen if I save Wu Xing? I heard that Liu Laozhi has sent troops south from Wu County. Wu Xing is a lonely city north of Zhejiang. How can he defend it?

"The matter of defending the city depends on how to abide by the law. This killing of residents is a disaster in the world. I, Lu Xun, am also a scholarly family. Since I was a child, I have been full of reading, history, the teachings of saints, and the lessons of history. How can I allow people to be so cruel? We follow the leader and take the rise and fall of the world as our responsibility to rejuvenate the country and protect the people, not to destroy the country and kill the people.

This middle-aged Taoist named Lu Xun, whose nickname is Yuan Long. His ancestor Lu Chen once served as Sikong, a famous loyal minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and once served as Liu Kun's subordinate to conquer the enemy in the north. Liu Kun was the one who danced with Zu Tyi and finally led the army to the north to recover part of the Central Plains.

However, since Lu Xun joined Tianshi Dao and married Sun En, what he did was very different from his ancestors.

After listening to Lu Xun's words, Sun En did not answer. He knows what Lu Xun means very well. Since joining the meeting, two people have been admonishing Sun En to be lenient to the people all day long. One is Lu Xun's brother-in-law Xu Daofu, and the other is Lu Xun himself.

However, Sun En didn't think so. Although his dead uncle Sun Tai died from the hands of the court, the congregation in Yangzhou counties were repeatedly criticized and attacked by the people. Although it was because of the deliberate contempt and insance of the imperial court, many people did participate in the act of crowding out and suppressing the heavenly masters. Sun En's hatred is because of his uncle's death; Sun En's anger is because of the stupidity of the people.

Sun En's feelings are extremely complicated about Wu Xing's harm to the people.

Sun En lived in Wu Xing for many years. When he first became an official, he had a great ambition to do his best for the court and the local government. However, when he did his duty as a local official, he found that his official was far from as glorious as he imagined. The officialdom was far darker than he thought, and the people hated officials far more than he understood.

That's all. What makes him particularly difficult is that whatever he does, either restrain the officials or the people, and whatever he hopes to do will eventually become impossible, and even the situation will turn sharply and go out of control.

When Sun En, who was pregnant with talent, loved the people and hated the officials, but he hated himself even more for his inaction.

Sun En, who was full of ambition, still hated the official at the meeting, but he loved himself. He was only at a loss for the people, especially the people of Wu Xing.

In Sun En's view, Wu Xing's people are not unsaved people; Yu Li, Wu Xing's geography is in the north, and it can't be saved, and it is not a non-saved place.

When the news of Wu Xing's murder of the people and Sun En's discussion with Lu Xun in the inner palace, he intended to let Wu Xing's officers and soldiers fight with each other, and then take the benefit of the fishermen. However, Lu Xun insisted that Sun En wave his army to save Wu Xing. Of course, he still uses the same old saying that those who achieve great things need to love the people. You can't be benevolent, but take the people as ruminant dogs.
