The monkey that will cross in the journey to the west

Chapter 99 The Tao is divided into good and evil, and there is no right or wrong in state affairs

Yongzhou City was destroyed by the monster python, and the people in the city struggled to survive. Kong Boyong was dealing with government affairs every day, arranging to rescue the victims.

He organized the young and strong to clean up the ruins, collect the corpses of the dead, prevent plagues, collect food, and build temporary shelters.

Kong Boyong even stole the granary of the wealthy households in the city, and piled up the grain at the gathering places of the common people. The grain was like a reassurance, soothing the fragile hearts of the victims.

step, step, step
step, step, step
The sound of horseshoes came galloping. This was a team of cavalry followed by a carriage. The cavalry instantly controlled the entire disaster-stricken area.

The disaster victims were in a commotion. In this era, there is no such thing as soldiers. They fear soldiers like tigers.

The carriage stopped, the door curtain was lifted, and an official in his 40s got out of the car. He was dressed in official clothes and looked solemn, looking at the victims outside the city.

At this time, many wooden houses have been built in the disaster-stricken area. The elderly and young children collect firewood, and the women mend clothes, cook and help build wooden houses.

The food was piled up on a high platform in the distance, guarded by soldiers holding weapons.

Looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Zhengfa nodded secretly in his heart. This is almost a perfect disaster relief, what a pity.

"Where is Kong Boyong, magistrate of Yongzhou County, come out to receive the order!" Zhang Zhengfa asked.

Kong Anzhi, who was helping the crowd, came out. She saluted and said, "My lord, my father is cleaning up the ruins in the city!"

"Go and pass him over!" Zhang Zhengfa said, looking at Kong Anzhi.

Kong Anzhi's face was a little dusty, and her clothes were dirty. She has been helping to treat the wounded and directing the women to work.

pity!Zhang Zhengfa shook his head, his eyes were full of regret, he closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were full of indifference.

A soldier ran into the city and found Kong Boyong.

"My lord, a group of officers and soldiers have come from outside the city. It looks like they are from the capital. Let your lord go out to receive the order." The soldier clasped his fists and reported.

Kong Boyong was taken aback when he heard the words, he looked at the ruins in front of him, and sighed: "What should come will always come!"

He already knew that there would be today, and he also knew what his ending would be. Can he escape these surviving people?

If he abandons the chaotic city and flees, the people will be chaotic, and there may not be one out of ten, how can he bear it.

Confucius said Chengren and Mencius said righteousness.He has studied for many years, and he also has morality in his heart, so he can't let the people go.

Kong Boyong tidied up his robe, even though it was dirty.

"Is there any water?" Kong Boyong asked everyone.

"My lord, I still have some in this water bag." A soldier replied.

"Bring it, I need to tidy up my appearance!" Kong Boyong fetched water to wash his hands and face, his hands were worn out, and when he plunged into the cold water, his bones ached.

Kong Boyong washed his face with cold water and straightened his hair. Because of his busy schedule, he didn't sleep much every day, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was also blistered.In a few days, white hair appeared on his head.

After straightening his hair, washing his face, and tidying his clothes, Kong Boyong went out of the city. Even though he tidied up, he still looked dirty.

But he walked very calmly, as if there was no dust on his body.

Kong Boyong walked out of the ruins of the city and looked into the distance. The cavalrymen were armed with weapons and armored.

The cavalry general is four feet tall, with a silver helmet on his head and bright armor.

Li Guangru!
Kong Boyong recognized this general, he had met Li Guangru once in the capital.

Li Guangru's martial arts strength reached the peak of human beings. He once fought a big monster undefeated by himself. When the army surrounded him, he set up an army formation, gathered the army in one body, stabbed the big monster to death with a single shot, and bathed in the blood of the monster.

In front of Li Guangru, there was an official, Kong Boyong was a little strange to him.

Kong Boyong walked over, his figure stood proudly like a green pine.

"My lord Kong Boyong, my lord!" Kong Boyong bowed his hands in salute.

"Excuse me!" Zhang Zhengfa said, looking Kong Boyong up and down.

The government office is covered with stains and dust, which means that it has not been changed for a few days, and the knees, abdomen and elbows and sleeves are severely worn, which means that he has done a lot of physical work.The frayed wounds on the hands testify to this.

There are blisters in the corners of the mouth and white strands in the hair, which shows that he has been worrying a lot these days.

His eyes were bloodshot and his complexion was sallow, indicating that he slept less and ate less.

Before coming here, he washed his face, tidied up his appearance, and walked leisurely. It seemed that he already understood his ending.

Why!Such a great virtuous person is able to put the people at ease.Kong Boyong's talent is enough to rule the government.

Zhang Zhengfa said to Li Guangru: "General, please give Zhang some favors and let me have a few words with Kong county magistrate!"

Li Guangru nodded, stretched out his palm to make a gesture, and said loudly: "Patrolling cavalry, retreat!"

Whoa!
The cavalry turned their heads and retreated for a while, surrounding Li Guangru, Zhang Zhengfa and Kong Boyong.

"Sorry, it's my duty!" Li Guangru bowed his head and saluted, showing no sign of leaving.

Zhang Zhengfa nodded without saying anything, turned to Kong Boyong and said, "Magistrate Kong, let's go for a walk in the city!"

Kong Boyong looked up at the ruins, then at the people around him, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please!"

Kong Boyong and Zhang Zhengfa moved forward, Li Guangru followed behind with his sword in his hand, and the cavalry also moved slowly.

"Under Zhang Zhengfa, I will gather the imperial envoy of the Left Dao. This is General Li Guangru, who will lead the patrolling imperial cavalry to deal with the chaos caused by monsters."

"My lords!" Kong Boyong clasped his fists together.Kong Boyong no longer cared about their identities, he looked at the ruined city and the miserable people, and felt a little relief in his heart.

"In the face of such a disaster, I believe that no one can handle it better than Master Kong!" Zhang Zhengfa looked at the ruins of Yongzhou City, nearly half of which had been cleared out.

The resettlement of the victims is also very proper, and this process is enough to be included in disaster relief documents and sent to various places for reference by local officials.

"I have tried my best, I just hope that my lord will treat the people in the city well." Kong Boyong said frankly.

"Where the Tao is, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go! Master Kong's benevolence and righteousness. The world can learn from it, and Zhang admires it. However, there are not only right and wrong things in the world!" Zhang Zhengfa looked ashamed and sighed in his heart. This trip is different from him. The moral aspect of practice is just like the treacherous minister he once hated.

Kong Boyong was speechless, he looked at the green hills in the distance, the spring was growing and thriving, but he felt the spring cold.

Li Guangru's eyes were cold and unwavering, like a cold soldier.

After a long time, Kong Boyong said: "Since I took office, I have not owed any people my self-confidence, and I have never owed anything to practice the Dao with me, but I owe my little girl Anzhi! Can you take care of me!"

Zhang Zhengfa turned his head, looked far into the distance, and said slowly: "Daughter of a prisoner, living is better than dying!"

"I understand!" Kong Boyong felt a pain in his heart, full of guilt for his daughter.He turned and walked towards Kong Anzhi.

Zhang Zhengfa suddenly arched his hands and bent down, bowed to the ground and said: "Zhang Zhengfa respectfully sends you on the road, in the darkness of the underworld, please wait for your lord, the treacherous minister Zhang Zhengfa murdered Zhongliang, he will go to the [-]th floor of hell!"

Kong Boyong stopped, but he walked towards Kong Anzhi without looking back.

Zhang Zhengfa straightened his back, his eyes were already full of coldness, and he said: "General Li, take down Kong Boyong."
