Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 249 Death of Mo Zhe

Gu Dan returned to the small courtyard of the Gu family.

His return did not bring any new changes to the Xia Dynasty.

Now that the entire Xia Dynasty is flourishing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is changing with each passing day. Even Yuzhou can eat high-quality and cheap fruits brought back from abroad, so Gu Dan no longer needs to worry too much about the world.

Gone is the decadence of yesteryear.

This time, Gu Dan was the only one left in the small courtyard of the Gu family.

Thinking back to the last time when the small courtyard of Gu's family was so quiet, it was after the stars fell at night.

The difference from Night Falling Stars is that this time it was not because of a disaster, but that the people in the small courtyard had grown up and started to shine in their respective fields.

Xiaoying and Xun Ke have been married for ten years, and they already have a child, so they brought them here for a visit with Gu Dan.

Gu Dan seemed a little distant to the children, not affectionate, and never even asked their children's names from the beginning to the end.

He is deliberately distanced from the next generation.

Zhan Fanchen, Zhan Fanchen, it's easy to say, but who can wave his hand indifferently and completely let go and say goodbye to the past?
He is not a person with a cold nature.

In these years, he has experienced too much life and death, and even witnessed Xu Zhian's departure with his own eyes.

Although the mentality is still young, but the heart is already a little tired.

It is a blessing for the vast majority of people for a black-haired person to send a white-haired person, but for Gu Dan, it is just a complete tragedy.

He will not destroy the relationship established in the past, but he will certainly not leave too deep a bond in the mortal world.

This loneliness can only be endured by oneself.

Fortunately, he is not without things to do.

So far, the innate realm is still a mirror image. Gu Dan has already begun to study the notes left by Ji Lao, and when he has no way to go, it is time to head for the entrance.

There is also curing diseases and saving people, this should not be forgotten, the accumulation of small amounts will make a lot, sooner or later, you will be able to save enough for the next entry of the green wood transformation formula, and when the green wood liquid has accumulated to a certain level, Gu Dan will go out and turn it into various All kinds of people, come to an act of giving to the world.

Time rushes forward.

In the 23rd year of the Xia Dynasty, something happened.

This matter may not be big or small, but the speed and impact of its spread are unparalleled, which can be called extremely fast.

Mozhe's family members were reported. After the officials went to investigate, they found Baijin from their home.

The hundred gold is not the end yet, there are still thousands of acres of fertile land, several cattle, and even a few mansions.

There is no doubt that these things are definitely not something Mohists can have.

Because the Mo family suffers so much, they even wear the simplest coarse linen clothes, and they hardly ask for compensation when they do things for others. In many cases, they even have to pay for the cost themselves.

Of course, the Mohist also has a salary. After all, one person can suffer for the ideal in his heart, but it is not easy for his family to suffer because of his choice.

After all, the Mo family was also the state religion of the Xia Dynasty, and the Xia Dynasty was quite wealthy at this time, not bad for the three melons and two dates of the Mohists.

But Mo Zhe's salary is not much, it is not a problem to feed a family of three, and it is impossible to live a good life.

The origin of these things is not difficult to find out, it is nothing more than someone bribing the Mohist's family.

Because the Mohists and the Mohists were involved, the officials did not dare to make a private decision, so they began to report layer by layer, and finally got stabbed to Wang Mang.

In the past 23 years, this was the first time that the emperor had to make a decision on matters related to the Mohism. Countless eyes from all over the court were staring at this matter.

But Wang Mang didn't handle the matter himself, he just threw the matter to Qin Lisheng again.

As a Mohist giant, Qin Lisheng needs to be responsible for the Mohist, and the Mohist is of course a part of the Mohist.

Qin Lisheng rushed there with a group of Mohists and personally investigated. The evidence is conclusive and definitely not a false accusation.

The Mohist involved in the incident was named Lin Fan, with a common name, and like all Mohist, he was simple and frugal, and worked alongside Qin Lisheng, diligently and hard-working.

Didn't the Mohist who worked with him say that he had never seen him do anything extravagant and licentious, let alone violated any regulations of the Mohist school.

In order to maintain the morality of the world, he didn't even return home for three years—but it was precisely because of this that he knew nothing about the affairs at home, and it ended up like this in the end.

"My monthly salary is sent directly to my family. There should be no shortage of money in my family. Why do I do this?!"

Angry, Lin Fan usurped his wife's collar. They were all from poor families. They were all in trouble. If there hadn't been Mo Qiu in Yangzhou who helped defend the city and let them go ahead, they might have died there. In a monstrous flood.

After so many years, he has never forgotten the kindness of the Mohists. With his own efforts, he has also become a Mohist gloriously. umbrella.

But behind him, he never thought that it was already riddled with holes.

Facing the glances of many silent Mohists, his wife just kept crying and shaking her head.

"why?!"

Lin Fan grabbed her collar with one hand, panting heavily, in extreme pain, while the other hand had already pulled out the long sword from his waist, "Could it be, do you think I won't dare to kill my relatives righteously?"

"You are not at home, I do all the farm work in the field. Cao'er in the east of the village is just married to an ordinary official, and someone will farm for her, and she doesn't have to do anything every day."

Lin Fan's wife cried and said: "I don't accept it! She just married a petty official. You are a Mohist! Everyone praises Mohism! When you became a Mohism, I don't know how many people envied you In our family, people from ten miles and eight villages will praise it when they see it, and there are people who have traveled dozens of miles and want to come to our house to see what kind of life Mohist lives."

Lin Fan's wife finally broke down and cried bitterly: "But after you became a Mohist, you haven't had much time to come back these years. The things at home are broken and can't be used anymore. I will find someone to repair them. The farm work in the field It’s also me and my mother who have been working together for so many years, you go ask the neighbors in the neighborhood, who still envies our family? They all say you are a fool!
I don't accept it. Why is the Mohist, whom everyone praises, so much worse than the family of a petty official? "

Lin Fan stared at his wife in astonishment.

When he was working hard for his ideals without thinking of anything in return, his wife who had never left him at the beginning seemed to have become another person.

Jealousy and dissatisfaction blinded her eyes, and the hardships and hardships at the beginning have been completely forgotten in her mind, leaving only a bewildered person who uttered an extremely selfish cry.

It turned out that the person who joined hands with him and abused those silverfish didn't really hate those silverfish from the bottom of their hearts.

She was just cursing why she wasn't part of the silverfish.

Those sufferings did not make her vigilant and awakened, but instead yearned for the life that trampled people under her feet.

When he also started to shine, to save people who were as helpless as himself, his wife had already started to use his identity to secretly earn benefits.

No wonder, no wonder she would often write to ask Mo Zhe what he was going to do and what he was going to do.

At first, he thought it was caring about his life.

"what"

Lin Fan lost his mind and threw her to the ground.

After all, he couldn't bear to kill his wife who had shared weal and woe with her, even though she seemed to be a different person now.

But he also has no face to face his former partners.

Facing those silent gazes, it was as if flames were igniting him from the inside out, and his whole body was burning hot.

He was shaking.

The hand that had killed the seven gangsters seemed to be completely disobedient, even the sword could no longer be held.

Emotionally speaking, he cannot be blamed for this matter.

But his wife relied on his status to absorb benefits that did not belong to them.

"I don't have the face to stay in the Mohist family anymore, and I'll call myself a Mohist."

Lin Fan looked into Qin Lisheng's eyes, said these words in great pain, and personally cut off his ideals, "I have damaged the reputation of the Mohists, and the crime cannot be punished. The crime committed by the wife"

His lips were twitching, but he still trembled and said, "I just ask you to give her a way to survive."

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly put the long sword in his hand across his neck, and committed suicide.

But no matter how hard his palm was, the cold long sword did not move at all.

Pinching the long sword with two fingers, Qin Lisheng said calmly: "You have lived up to the name of the Mohists, and you have never damaged the name of the Mohists. Why did you kill yourself?"

Qin Lisheng snatched the long sword from his hand involuntarily, facing the master, he couldn't even kill himself.

"This matter should be handled according to the national law of the Xia Dynasty, and it can be done as it should."

Qin Lisheng looked around, "But Mo Zhe didn't do anything wrong, so why should he be punished?"

In this way, it is considered qualitative.

Qin Lisheng didn't blame Lin Fan, but he wouldn't be extra merciful to forgive his betrayed wife.

Everything is left to the law of the state.

That must be a dead word.

If things stop here, it doesn't seem worth mentioning.

But it didn't.

Because of the presence of the Mohist giant, the trial came quickly, and the officials were very active.

It didn't take long for Lin Fan's wife to be convicted. The most serious crime was not embezzlement, but using the convenience of her status to inquire about the internal affairs of the Mo family and then sell the information. This is an intolerable thing.

In the end, the punishment was decided.

Sentence: Beheaded.

On the night of Lin Fan's wife's execution, Lin Fan also died.

suicide.

The suicide note left behind said: He has never failed the morality of the Mohists, nor has he failed the responsibilities of the Mohists, but he has failed his family and his wife.

If he hadn't become a Mohist, then with his company, his wife probably wouldn't be what she is today.

Moreover, because of his incident, the Mo family was humiliated, and he had no face to face his former partners. He felt flawed, and he was sorry for both his family and the Mo family. repay.

A Mohist died just like that.

Of course Mozhe is not unable to die. Many Mozhe who followed Moqiu died, but they fell on the road of ideals.

It was the first one to commit suicide.

It was also because of Lin Fan's death that this matter was detonated instantly.

After the news spread, it became the talk and topic of countless people after dinner, and it lasted for a long time.

This matter seems simple, but it involves human nature, interests, ideals, close relatives, and families. Countless conditions converged together, and finally fermented completely, creating a turmoil.

Among them, whether it is pitiful Lin Fan's wife who can't live a good life when she marries Mo Zhe, or insulting Lin Fan's wife who is lucky enough to marry Mo Zhe and wants more, or regrets that a man who instinctively continues The radiant Mohist committed suicide like this, and some women even hated the man who became Mohist and no longer took care of his family. They all had enough crowds, and no one could convince the other.

This seems to have become a matter of saying that the public is right and the woman is right. Even the second fool in the village can express his opinion.

But no one can give an accurate word.

Gu Dan also heard about this incident when he went out to treat patients. Apart from those disputes, he also saw other things.

If you don't argue about the right and wrong, this matter will actually plant hidden dangers.

Without the knowledge of the person concerned, if a close relative uses his identity to gain benefits, is the person guilty?

If there is no crime, will anyone follow suit?
Qin Lisheng didn't pursue Lin Fan's responsibility and no one questioned it, it was because of the prestige and virtue left in the hearts of the people through the efforts of the Mohists day after day, they believed in the Mohism, so they believed that the Mohism would not protect bad people.

The Mohists said that Lin Fan didn't know about this matter, but the common people believed it.

But what if the Mohist is replaced by another official?

Can the people still be convinced?
If there are officials who allow their family members to make profits and live a life of luxury and wealth, and then say that they don't know about it after being caught, will they also be sentenced according to this "old rule"?
If you don't follow this example, are you saying that the Mohists and the Mohists are inherently superior?
This mine has not detonated yet.

But this has already involved the key to whether the law is intolerant or the law can be merciful, and whether it can be judged according to the circumstances.

When it develops to a certain level and meets the minimum limit of supplies, the Xia Dynasty still has a long way to go.

One seemingly inconspicuous problem after another will truly affect the final development of a country, and even determine its future achievements.

When each choice is in front of you, every decision will be very important in the days to come.

Gu Dan has seen this, he is definitely not the only smart person in this world, and someone in Xia Dynasty will definitely find out.

However, Chaotang's attitude is very strange.

Regarding the death of the Mohist, which was widely discussed among the people, the court did not respond at all.

It's like you didn't see it, you didn't hear it.

But this is impossible. Before the incident, Wang Mang was the first person to get the information.

And the continuation of this matter is not over yet.

After Lin Fan, the family members of other Mohists were reported one after another.

There are a dozen of them.

Compared to thousands of Mohists, this ratio can be described as selfless and extremely clean.

If all the officials of the Xia Dynasty needed to be punished according to this ratio, Wang Mang would be able to wake up from his dreams with a smile.

Moreover, among the more than a dozen family members of the Mohists who were reported, those who were as greedy as Lin Fan's wife were after all very few.

The most ridiculous thing is that one of the family members of the Mohist family who was reported used the water for irrigation. They always irrigated their own fields first, which was not in line with the spirit of the Mohist family.

This thing is ridiculous.

However, the time has come to deal with it.

The Mo family must also give a sufficient positive response, so that Lin Fan's tragedy will not happen again.

Gu Dan watched all this quietly in the small courtyard, feeling the changes in the world.
