Chapter 391 Disaster is an Opportunity

Qin Lu lowered his eyes, but did not answer.

Guo Qibao pursed his lips, struggled for a moment, and then said: "My lord is a master of predicting things, he can calculate many things, and he can calculate that the flood is coming soon. My lord has been staying here all this time, just waiting for the flood?"

"You...why didn't you stop the flood..." Guo Qibao lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

Guo Babao gave Guo Qibao a hand, and muttered: "Natural disasters, how to stop them, Seventh brother, stop talking nonsense!"

Qin Lu laughed softly, and looked at Guo Qibao with deep eyes, "Do you think that since I know there will be a flood, I should stop the flood and stop the casualties of the people?"

Guo Qibao pursed his lips, but looked directly at Qin Lu.

Obviously, he thought so in his heart.

Qin Lu sat down, playing with the teacup, the corners of his mouth raised, with a bit of sarcasm: "Why?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Qin Lu raised his eyes, those eyes were indifferent and ruthless, like gods aloft, looking down on all living beings, showing no mercy and compassion, but more clearly rewarding and punishing the world.

"The floods broke the dams, destroyed the crops, and the houses were washed away. The damage caused is not enough to cause death. At most, it will make you displaced."

"If the levee hadn't been cutting corners, you wouldn't even have this disaster."

"In the final analysis, this was caused by the Lin Dynasty. It was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Since it is a man-made disaster, why should I clean up the mess for the Lin Dynasty?"

"Guo Qibao, as you said, I am waiting for the flood, for the disaster to come. For the common people, this is a disaster, but for me, it is an opportunity."

"In other words, what I'm waiting for is the suffering of the people, and in the name of benevolence and righteousness, I will help and win people's hearts."

Every word and sentence clearly entered the ears, brains, and hearts of ten people.

The ten fell silent.

After a long time, Guo Shibao was the first to speak: "I think what the lord said is right. Why do you want to clean up the mess for corrupt officials? Seventh brother, what do you want the lord to do? Knowing that the dams are poorly built, they will be washed away by the flood and cause disasters. Spend money, effort, and stupid people to strengthen the dams and stop this disaster from happening?"

Guo Babao continued with what the tenth brother said, "People's hearts are the most unpredictable thing in the world. Seventh brother, the people will not thank the lord, they will only think that the disaster has not happened, and some people even think that even if it is not strengthened, it should be fine. Yes, if something really happened, it would be useless to reinforce it. But the lord has offended the Lin Dynasty, and he went to reinforce the dam, isn't he accusing the Lin Dynasty of shoddy construction of the dam? At that time, the lord will not benefit, but annoyed thing."

Guo Sanbao, who has always been wise and safe, suddenly said: "Seventh brother, put away your conscience, we are rebels. We are thieves, why should we be living Bodhisattvas."

Guo Qibao, who wanted to argue with the eighth and tenth brothers, was at a loss for words and didn't know how to speak for a while.

I just felt that the third brother's words were like a slap on the face, burning and hurting.

Yes, he is not an official, so why bother with this.

He's a thief...everything is only considered for big things.

Floods are disasters for the people, but for thieves, it is an opportunity.

He hasn't clarified his position, hasn't fully figured out who he is and what he does, and he is trying to persuade the lord in vain, which is simply stupid.

Guo Qibao lowered his head deeply, and said hoarsely: "Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't question you."
