Chapter 28 Disputes

"This..." Xie Yu looked at Xu Xiaozhang in the distance. Even though he thought he had seen strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but tie his tongue. "You... killed them all?"

"Yes." Xu Xiaozhang walked towards him slowly, as if he was killing someone like a pig or a dog, without any compassion.

Xie Yu couldn't help but take a step back.

Yan Xing also carried Jin Gong out of the door, and she planned to leave here as Xie Yu said while the two of them were fighting with the bandits.

As soon as she left the door, she stayed there.

For a while, when did the young master of Jin who was pampered and lived in poverty have seen such a scene?

Yan Xing's whole body trembled, and he was so scared that he sat on the ground and vomited out with a wow.

Jin Gong also slid off her shoulder and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaozhang looked at the vomiting star with an inexplicable expression. "Why did you vomit?"

After saying that, he looked back at the scene behind him, smiled and mocked Yan Xing, "It seems that our noble children were scared."

"Are you not afraid of the God of Heaven punishing you if you do this?" Yan Xingruan sat on the ground and showed condemnation on his face.

"God?" Xu Xiaozhang wanted to laugh a little, and the contempt in his eyes became even more serious. "What are you saying? What do you think they are here to do... They are here to kill you... Can your mercy be used on the enemy?"

"But..." Yan Xing raised Jin Gong on the ground and retorted. "What is the difference between your behavior of being very disrespectful to life... and these bandits? If everyone in the world is like you... Then what is the king's law? What is the righteousness? What is the etiquette and law... Xie Shizi... do you think so?"

Xie Yu didn't say anything, but just watched the blood flowing all over the ground and fell into deep thought.

Yan Xing didn't get Xie Yu's response... He began to feel uneasy.

"Hahaha." Xu Xiaozhang was obviously amused by the slightly childish remarks of Yuxing. "The law of kings, righteousness, etiquette?"

"You obviously don't understand the cruelty of this world yet." Xu Xiaozhang walked to Xie Yu, found a clean place and sat down directly. Blood flowed through his brown clothes and stuck to this place where blood had not been stained with.

"Yes... the king's law, great righteousness, etiquette and law. The most popular is that you nobles... You use these things to rule the world, and you use these things to stipulate people's behavior. Yes, this world needs king's law, great righteousness, etiquette and law... but it is definitely not the king's law of the nobles, the great righteousness of the nobles, and the etiquette and law of the nobles. You actually don't know what this world is like?" Xu Xiaozhang did not stop and continued. "If it weren't for me today... your etiquette and law, your great righteousness, and your king's law, who would you tell them? "

Xu Xiaozhang pointed to the broken limbs and his arms all over the ground, and asked Yan Xingdao loudly.

"Impossible... Nan Xia would never be a murderous devil like you." Yan Xing argued strongly. "Authentic, if you don't have you today... I might die, but that's not the reason for you to kill and whip the corpse."

"The existence of etiquette, kingly law, and great righteousness is what people in the world expect and are willing to abide by... nor is it what you are talking about as a tool for the rule of a clan." Yan Xing looked at Xu Xiaozhang and said loudly. "I have inspected fiefs with my father. It is precisely because of the protection and constraints of etiquette, that people can be harmonious, neighbors can be friendly, and relatives can not fight for the wealth of a mere stone of rice. With these in the world, we can be stable... And our aristocratic race is just people who practice great righteousness for the kingly law and etiquette! And what you are doing now is destroying this etiquette, kingly law!"

Xu Xiaozhang was stunned and laughed again.

"Practice righteousness?" Xu Xiaozhang asked back. "I don't know how you came to such a conclusion. In my eyes, the nobles are the maggots in the world, constantly eroding the blood and sweat of the people in the world!"

"In my eyes, more than half of the rice and grain obtained by ordinary families who have worked hard for several months have to be handed over to the aristocratic races... Before that, they have to be exploited by officials, and only 10% of the rice and grain they can eat in the end." Xu Xiaozhang shouted loudly. "This is not counting as natural disasters and man-made disasters! Is there little that the nobles bully the people? Is the officials exploit the people less? The kingly laws, etiquette and righteousness you have always said? Which nobles have abide by it? Which nobles have been punished by the gods? Isn't the kingly laws in the world the ones that you nobles have to give to the common people?"

"Besides, when did you care about people's lives and death like you? If you kill them, just kill them? In your eyes, aren't the untouchables slaughtered like pigs and dogs?" Xu Xiaozhang was unforgivable, and every word was pearls.

"You..." Yan Xing couldn't help but be excited by Xu Xiaozhang, but no matter what he said, Yan Xing couldn't say anything to refute... like a thorn in his throat.

Yes, as Xu Xiaozhang said, she knew the fact that officials deceived the people and the aristocratic families exploited the common people.

"They hijacked the characters, extorted fees, and wanted to kill people... Why can't I kill them?" Xu Xiaozhang saw that Yan Xing did not refute again, and also lowered his voice. "What I did was just to eliminate evil."

"No..." Xie Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and interrupted the conversation between the two. "You are breaking the ban with martial arts."

"Oh?" Xu Xiaozhang turned around and looked at Xie Yu with interest.

"Zi...my teacher once told us a story." Xie Yu also looked at Xu Xiaozhang. "There is a hero named Guo Jie in Luoyi... When he was young, he relied on his courage to fight with others, formed cliques, and violated laws and regulations. He killed many people for the so-called elimination of evil, including husbands, fishermen, woodcutters, and merchants... He killed too many people... Later, when he was old and could not kill, he began to collect money and shelter many heroes who had committed crimes in the world under the name of righteousness... Those who obtained benefits from him began to praise his deeds, and those who wanted to obtain benefits from him boasted about his name even more."

"As time passed, his reputation became more and more famous, and his virtue became more and more known. Those who didn't know what he was originally, began to admire him. Countless young gossips heard his deeds and were even willing to die for him. So later... he killed a person who had a grudge against him... This man was a well-known good man. He never committed any crime, abide by the law, and does not transcend the rules. But he happened to offend Guo Jie one day... So Guo Jie killed him... Then, the government arrested Guo Jie and released him from prison. Countless people petitioned for Guo Jie, and countless people rushed to the gate of Jingji Prefecture to seek justice for Guo Jie, which led to Jingji Prefecture not handling official duties safely for three months. The entire Luoyi jurisdiction was rampant due to loose governance... This even alarmed Tong Hou... Tong Hou was originally a hero. After hearing about Guo Jie's righteousness, he personally went to the emperor's palace to request pardon Guo Jie..."

"You said... Is this Guo Jie damn?" Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Xiaozhang seriously.
