Chapter 9 The murderous intention comes in the dead of night

Uncle Dumb ate everything on the plate, not even the soup was left.

"This is my first time drinking wine from Xueyun City, and I never imagined it would feel like this."

The waiter came to clean things up and said happily: "Young master has a good capacity for drinking."

"It's not that I'm a good drinker, it's that your wine is too light."

The two staggered home.

The sun is setting in the sky, and the crows are tired.

"Uncle Dumb, I'm going to study and I won't go out for this year."

After hearing this, Uncle Mute felt relieved.

He was afraid that Xiao Luo would become obsessed with the prosperity of the city. If this continued, the few famous paintings hidden in his home would all be pawned.

Xiao Luo walked into the study and closed the door.

Pull out "Shang Jun Shu" from the bookshelf.

"Shang Jun Shu" has a total of twenty-nine chapters, which discusses the theory and specific measures of reforms implemented by Shang Yang in the Qin State at that time. The core idea is "strengthen the country and weaken the people."

Shang Yang believed that the strength of the country and the strength of the people were opposite.

Only by making the people obey the law and be honest and honest will it be difficult for the people to form a strong force to fight against the country and the monarch. In this way, the country will be easy to govern and the monarch's status will be firm.

"The Book of Shang Jun" preaches that human nature is inherently evil, and to govern a country, you must use evil to govern good to make the country strong.

There was a trace of sarcasm on Xiao Luo's lips.

Weak people...

The original source is here.

Weak people are easy to manage, like sheep on the grassland, requiring only a ferocious shepherd dog.

If the sheepdog still can't control it, send a wolf.

It's best to eat a few adult rams.

At the same time, "Shang Jun Shu" advocates heavy punishment and light reward, believing that if the punishment is increased and the rewards are reduced, the people will desperately strive for rewards.

If rewards are increased and penalties are reduced, people will become passive and slow down their work.

In fact, people are not striving for rewards; they are just afraid of punishment.

The punishment will be severe, the people will obey, and the world will be safe.

Xiao Luo turned to the second article "Reclamation Order" and read carefully:

"If there is no long-term governance, then the evil officials will not do enough to benefit the people for their own benefit. If the officials are not in harmony with each other, then the farmers will have a few days to live; if the evil officials don't do enough to benefit the people for their own interests, then the farmers will not be defeated. If the farmers are not defeated, but there will be a few days to live, then the farmers will be poor.

It must be cultivated.”

This passage describes the relationship between officials and farmers. If officials handle government affairs conscientiously every day, they will not have time to harass the people.

People who are not harassed can concentrate on farming and reclaiming wasteland.

Although Xiao Luo came from a royal family, he had never understood the economic and land conditions of Northern Li, and he did not know what the habits of Northern Li officials were today.

Thousands of miles of fertile fields, are the rice and millet green?

Do the people in the four realms have enough food and clothing?

Read the next paragraph:

"If you pay taxes on millet, the people will be at peace. If you are at the level, you will be trustworthy. If you are trustworthy, the ministers will not dare to do evil. If the people are at peace, you will be cautious. If you are cautious, it will be difficult to change."

…

Gradually, the moon reaches the middle of the sky, and the night enters the midnight hour.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of wind outside the small courtyard, and three black figures sneaked over.

Then, there was a very low voice:

"Big Zhang and Xiao Zhang, wait until I lure the guards away, then you two brothers can go in and look for someone else."

"yes."

"Be careful not to hurt anyone, and retreat as soon as you find out the details."

The one who spoke was Liu Qinghe. On the orders of Sikong Chengfeng, he brought two spies who were weaving a net to look for Xiao Luo.

Liu Qinghe jumped into the small courtyard and slowly touched the back garden. Suddenly, he kicked a stone away with a single step.

Bang~

In the dark night, the sound of falling stones was extremely clear.

"Ho!"

The sharp palm wind hit Liu Qinghe's face, and a middle-aged man attacked Liu Qinghe without leaving any space like an eagle attacking a rabbit.

Liu Qinghe's figure flashed and he avoided Li Zhang at an incredible angle.

The wind arises from the end of Qingping.

Piaoping is a secret from Liu Qinghe's family, and it is said to be the second best light skill in the world.

The middle-aged man was naturally the mute uncle, and his first move failed. He touched it from his waist, and a silk thread suddenly appeared between his palms.

The moonlight is exceptionally bright tonight, reflecting the fish scales and cold light on the silk threads.

"Sky scale silk?"

Liu Qinghe's heart trembled slightly.

He has been the leader of the web-weaver for many years and has studied the world's masters and strange weapons. Among the weapons that interested him was this silk thread.

Sky scale silk, about two meters long, is said to be taken from the tendon of a thousand-year-old dragon. It can be cut continuously with a knife, does not burn in fire, and is sharper than a sword.

It can be stabbed, twisted, whipped, or blocked.

The owner of Silk Thread was once among the top ten people on the killer list.

"Weren't you dead a long time ago? How can you have Sky Scale Silk?"

Liu Qinghe was rushing to transport floating duckweeds, and when he was dodging, he did not forget to find out the details of this person.

Uncle Dumb used to be a killer.

A killer can only kill but cannot speak.

The sky scales are flying, and every move never leaves Liu Qinghe's vitals.

The two of them attacked and dodged more than ten moves in the blink of an eye, but Liu Qinghe didn't find a chance to make a move.

Before coming, Liu Qinghe already had a premonition that his opponent would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

In a flash of thought, the true energy in his body moved rapidly, and the highest form of Piaoping was transported out, and it traveled thousands of miles.

In an instant, he was already a hundred steps away.

How could Uncle Mute allow him to escape so easily? The sky scales drew an arc and chased after him.

On the courtyard wall, the Zhang brothers who were watching with bated breath let out a sigh of relief.

"Brother, will Liu Shou be okay?"

"No. Let's go and carry out our mission."

The Zhang brothers jumped over the high wall and slowly walked towards the backyard.

"Brother, look at the lights in that room. Is the scholar still studying hard?"

"Go over and have a look."

Sure enough, in the study, the candlelight was bright, reflecting the silhouette of a young man sitting upright.

"superior!"

Da Zhang shouted loudly and hit the door with the meteor hammer in his hand.

Boom!

The door was broken and the hammer came, hitting Xiao Luo behind the desk.

Da Zhang has reached the first level of martial arts, and can freely retract and retract the meteor hammer in his hand. If the scholar really has no martial arts skills, the iron chain attached to the meteor hammer will be pulled back at the last moment.

At the same time, Xiao Zhang opened the judge's pen with both hands and stabbed the scholar quickly.

Similarly, as long as the scholar does not resist, the judge's pen will never pierce the scholar's body.

But Xiao Luo didn't know.

The memory of being hunted long ago reappeared, and the shadow of death once again enveloped him.
