The peaks and mountains are like clusters,

The waves are like anger,

Mountains and rivers outside and inside Tongguan Road.

Wangxidu,

Hesitant.

Sad about where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled,

All the palaces and palaces were made of earth.

When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer.

——Zhang Yanghao's "Sheep on the Hillside. Tong Cares About the Ancients".

This song is Zhang Yanghao's masterpiece in his later years. Although it is short, it fully explains the position of poor people in the long history. No matter whether it is ups or downs, people are always weak and will encounter all kinds of human sufferings. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters.

In prosperous times, there are often many natural disasters, and in troubled times, there are always man-made disasters. In short, the law of the jungle is the eternal truth.

The people have always been weak, so they are oppressed everywhere. There are corrupt officials and sycophants at the top, and there are robbers and bandits at the bottom. In front of them, the people are just helpless sheep waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist. Many times, corrupt officials and

The bandits are like a nest of snakes and rats, so the people have to suffer double oppression from them.

Natural disasters are certainly terrible and make people helpless, but what is more terrible and more helpless are often man-made disasters among natural disasters. The so-called man-made disasters among natural disasters mean that they originate from natural disasters but become man-made disasters. There are some lawless people

, in order to make huge profits during natural disasters, they eventually put the people in dire straits. Although this kind of man-made disaster originated from natural disasters, the final seriousness

The consequences are heavy, but they are still caused by man-made things. If the people in the temple can sympathize with the sufferings of the people, the harm of this man-made disaster can be minimized or even completely avoided. However, how many holy masters and wise kings in the world have truly seen

The suffering of the people? Most of the time, they can’t see it; so many times, the people are always in pain.

The most terrible natural disaster is famine.

In the long history, famines are everywhere. In the Ming Dynasty alone, famines were clearly recorded more than a hundred times.

In the midst of a famine, if you meet a wise Lord who can provide money and food for disaster relief in a timely manner, the people may still see a glimmer of hope. If your Lord is foolish and ignorant, then refugees will naturally spread everywhere and the land will be starved to death. Chaos will be extreme, and the living will kill each other.

For food, it is not impossible.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Huguang for many years, and there was no grain harvest. The people were starved of food, hungry people swarmed, and thieves were everywhere. Fortunately, the Lord was wise and promptly mobilized money and grain from surrounding areas to relieve the victims. Among them, Sichuan gathered

The disaster silver amounted to 1.5 million taels, all of which were collected in Chengdu. Sichuan Governor Liang Biao ordered the garrison general Song Jin to escort the official silver out of Sichuan to Huguang for disaster relief on a certain day. Unexpectedly, the official silver had not been moved, but he had already been targeted by the heroes in the rivers and lakes.

.

At this time, the status of Shaolin and Wudang was greatly reduced, and the world was controlled by four major families. The Tangmen in Sichuan, the Temple in Beijing, the Dushou Gorge in Guangxi, and the Xiaoyaomen in Hangzhou were incompatible with each other and each dominated their own side.

The Tang Sect has always upheld the truth and has great prestige in the martial arts world. Although the Temple is not as powerful as the Tang Sect on the surface, it secretly has a lot of contacts with Dongchang. In fact, it takes its orders and does some ulterior things for it.

, but no one dares to underestimate the strength. Poison

Beast Gorge is far away in the mountains of southern Guangxi, bordering foreign countries, and its customs are the same as those of humans. Logically speaking, it is no longer a Central Plains sect.

People think of themselves, and the power of Poisonous Beast Gorge has also

It extends into the surrounding provinces of Guangxi, so people in the martial arts have to regard it as a Central Plains sect. The Xiaoyao Sect was once the largest and most powerful gang in the world, but now it has declined and is not as good as before. The director of the Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyao's four sons and four disciples, have gone.

Seven people, only

It is difficult for Tian Shi Lie to survive, so Xiaoyao Sect has no successor. However, Ren Xiaoyao's martial arts is so high that even the leaders of the other three sects are inferior to him. Therefore, as long as Ren Xiaoyao is still there, there will be no one in the world.

Dare to break ground on Xiaoyao's door.

Capital City, Temple.

The Lord of the Temple, Sheng Lingren, was sitting high in the hall, like an emperor dominating the world, holding two beauties in his arms. Regardless of whether there was anyone below, the three of them kept making intimate gestures.

Sure enough, there was someone down there, a young man who looked somewhat similar to Sheng Ling.

"Zhiqiang, do you know Guanyin's whereabouts clearly?" Sheng Lingren asked while having fun with the beauty.

"Go back to father, Guan Yin is still in Chengdu Mansion, what should we do?" Sheng Lingren has a son and an adopted son. It was his son Sheng Zhiqiang who answered. However, Sheng Zhiqiang didn't seem to notice his father's behavior at all and spoke very calmly.

.

"Robbed it?" Sheng Lingren said very grandly.

"That's the territory of the Tang Sect. If we want to rob it, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!" Sheng Zhiqiang was obviously frightened by his father's words and asked tentatively.

"I have already thought of a way. You go to Kunlun Mountain immediately to find Xue Qianhe, the leader of Kunlun. This man is as greedy for money as his life. He has been thinking about Guan Yin for a long time. But he is timid and does not dare to take action. You go and give him courage.

, after everything is done

, all the official silver belongs to him. With us helping him, he will get the advantage alone, so he will definitely take action. Remember, you can't come forward directly, or you will get burned." Sheng Lingren came one by one.

"How can this be possible when he has taken advantage of it all by himself?" Sheng Zhiqiang said unhappily.

"You're a worthless thing. He can't think half as fast as your brother. After the matter is completed, the official silver will be a hot potato. Whoever gets more points will be in more danger. Our purpose is just to frame the Tang Clan. It's dangerous."

Of course you can't take it home

, then it’s all left to Xue Qianhe. Even if he is found out by the government afterwards, as long as you don’t come forward directly, we can completely refute it, and the government can’t do anything to us. Do you understand?” Sheng Lingren was half-sent.

He said with half explanation.

Sheng Zhiqiang was still confused and asked again: "Oh! I understand. But if we take such a big risk to rob the official silver, the government may not think that it is the Tang clan. Once they suspect someone else, what about us?

Isn’t all your efforts in vain?”

Sheng Lingren replied: "You don't need to worry about this. When the time comes, Eunuch Shi will fan the flames in front of the emperor and encourage the emperor to send people to thoroughly investigate the Tang Sect. As long as the emperor gives the order, we can take advantage of the fishermen. Even if the emperor does not thoroughly investigate.

The Tang Sect will also be suspicious of the Tang Sect, and it will be easier for us to deal with it in the future."

After hearing this, Sheng Zhiqiang praised: "It seems that everything is under dad's control, so I feel relieved."

But Sheng Lingren scolded: "Stop flattering me, learn more from your brother, and use your brain when doing things."

Sheng Zhiqiang said unconvinced: "Dad is always so partial. I am your biological son. Am I not as good as the one he picked up?"

Sheng Lingren scolded: "You bastard! Both my biological son and my adopted son are my sons, so I will treat them equally. Your brain is just not as good as inexplicable. It's really hard for you not to be convinced by this. Get off! I'm going to rest." Sheng Zhiqiang

Although I felt dissatisfied in my heart, I had no choice but to endure it, turned around and went out.

Just as Sheng Lingren was about to enter the house with the two beauties, another young man came in again and looked very anxious: "Dad, do you want to rob the disaster relief official?"

When Sheng Lingren saw the young man, he stopped and replied: "Yes, I have asked your elder brother to handle this matter."

But the man objected: "Dad, you can't do this. If the official banknotes are robbed and cannot be used for disaster relief in time, I'm afraid many hungry people will starve to death."

However, Sheng Lingren replied very calmly: "Many refugees starve to death every year in the world. What does it have to do with us? Besides, if one more person dies or one less person dies, it doesn't make much difference. It's inexplicable! Just leave this matter alone.

, I have given up." After saying this, without waiting for Sheng's inexplicable reply, he had already gone in with the beautiful woman in his arms.
