Chapter 953: You Are Worthy of Being Called a Hero
Hai Dongqing picked up the wine bowl, threw his neck up and drank it dry, wiped the wine on his mouth, and said in a low voice: "That's the end of it, right?" This is my last meal, isn't it? ”
Lin Jue nodded lightly, sighed and said, "Master of the village, why do you need to ask, after asking, do you still have a good appetite?" If I were you, I wouldn't ask at all, just eat meat and drink wine. ”
Hai Dongqing laughed and said, "You also underestimate us." I don't have an appetite. In this case, I won't let you have this meal, this pot of meat, this jar of wine are all mine, and you don't have a share. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Yes, in addition, I have an extra glass of wine here." It's yours too, and I won't rob you. ”
Lin Jue took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, and the mouth of the bottle was stuffed with a mahogany stopper. Gently placed it on the table.
Hai Dongqing's eyes were a little flustered, staring at the white porcelain bottle with a timid look, he wanted to ask what kind of wine it was, but he didn't want to ask, because the answer would definitely make him lose his appetite.
Hai Dongqing suddenly reached out and grabbed a piece of hot dog meat from the pot and tore it with a big gulp. From time to time, I picked up the wine jar and took a few sips, the soup and wine were dripping, and the mouth and beard around the food were in a mess, and I let out a beast-like roar while eating.
Lin Jue watched Hai Dongqing eating and drinking frantically with an expressionless face, sitting there motionless. Suddenly, Hai Dongqing put down the wine jar, stretched out his sleeves to wipe his mouth clean, stared at Lin Jue and said, "Lin Jue, you have to admit that my Hai Dongqing has lived a good life." Live enough. Isn't it? ”
Lin Jue thought for a while and nodded: "The life of the master of Dazhai is not an ordinary life, just in terms of your personal life, life is absolutely enough, and life is wonderful." Many people have been mediocre all their lives, how can the life of the owner of the village be so colorful. ”
"Hahaha, okay. With your words, it shows that you are not a hypocritical person. So, am I a big hero? Hai Dongqing laughed.
Lin Jue thought about it, but this time he shook his head.
"What? I'm not a hero? I, Hai Dongqing, have done so many great things, but I am not a hero? Hai Dongqing said angrily.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "What is a hero? Clever show, called Ying; Courage, called heroic. But that's not enough to be a hero. Most of the heroes are admired by the world, because they are not only brave and intelligent from ordinary people, but also most of them have the ambition to serve the country and help the people. When there is danger, there will be heroes to save the people from fire and water. Such a person should be called a hero. Although the life of the owner of the village is wonderful, the people who do it are all things that harm the country and the people for their own personal purposes. If you call yourself a hero, you insult the name of a hero. If I were to describe you in one word, I would only call you a generation of bandits, and that would be the best I could give you. ”
Hai Dongqing was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Why? Why can't I be called a hero? Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will wait, and I am also a person who does great things, and I am by no means a thief of chickens and dogs. I am the one who wants to compete with Guo Chong for the world, although I am defeated, but I can't even call the word 'hero'? You're humiliating me to my face. ”
Lin Jue sneered: "Master of the village, don't deceive yourself. How can you be an opponent of the current emperor? You're not even an opponent to me, so why bother putting gold on your face. You have been entrenched in the southeast island for nearly 20 years, can you make an inch? You haven't even occupied a piece of territory in the interior for 20 years, which is also called competing for dominance? As soon as the imperial army arrived, the trees fell and scattered, and it was really useless. What's more, you still went to collude with foreign enemies, bewitch the people, and use cults to gather people to cause chaos. This is an extremely despicable act. Collusion with foreign enemies to cause chaos in the Great Zhou is the most despicable act. If you really pull up a soldier and horse to fight against the court, it will be admirable. It's a pity that you are taking a shortcut that the world will spurn. Think about it, can you deserve the word hero? I'm kind to you, and if I don't say it politely, it's the word 'thief' to describe you. ”
Hai Dongqing glared at Lin Jue angrily, like a beast that pounced on him, snorting and groaning, and his evil appearance appeared. Lin Jueyi was not afraid, and returned to him with cold eyes. After a long time, Hai Dongqing retracted his gaze and sighed long.
"That's it, there's nothing to say. Success, princes, losers, thieves, I am defeated, you call me a bandit, call me a thief, I have nothing to say. If I win, what will you say? If I, Hai Dongqing, hit Bianliang, take Guo Chong, and become the emperor, I am afraid that you will also prostrate in front of me. You people, Lao Tzu has seen through it. is full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, it is all bullshit. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Master of the village, it's not me who strikes you, it's because of your unrighteous behavior that you will definitely not succeed." Don't say that the current situation of Da Zhou has not yet reached the time of storms, even if Da Zhou is crumbling, it will not be you who can win the world. There has never been an unrighteous person who has won the world, and there has never been a collusion with foreign enemies to win the royal road, and even if he succeeds, it is only a flash in the pan. ”
Hai Dongqing said in a deep voice: "I don't argue with you, you have read books, your stomach is full of doors, and your mouth is also sharp, I may not be able to argue with you." But you don't necessarily know what I know. I've seen what the world is like. How many of you talk so much, but how many of you really understand the suffering of those at the bottom? For you, this world is full of flowers, singing and dancing, and for us, it is a world of ruthlessness, the law of the jungle. If we don't work hard for a day, we won't see the sun tomorrow. Therefore, we must fight with all our ability, even if there is a slight opportunity, we must fight. We don't care about the righteousness or the festival. We have to struggle to survive, so we will do whatever means can achieve the end. Have you ever had your parents forced to death by an official? Have you ever slouched in a muddy puddle on a cold night to hide from the government? Have you ever been betrayed by someone close to you, one moment they call you a brother, and the next moment they stab you in the back? Hum! You haven't experienced anything, how can I expect you to understand what I'm doing? Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Lao Tzu does not believe in the mercy of heaven, but only in himself. ”
Hai Dongqing said that he was angry, picked up the wine jar and drank a few big sips, opened his mouth to spew out a puff of wine, and squinted at Lin Jue.
"But is that why you can use the fate of others as pigs and dogs to push people who live miserably like you into the fire pit?" After listening to Hai Dongqing's words, Lin Jue said coldly: "Since you know the suffering of the common people and the pain of the small people, you shouldn't make it worse and sprinkle salt on the wounds. You tell me what you did for them? When you were a bandit, you harassed the coastal villages and towns, burned and looted, intercepted incoming and passing ships, killed fishermen, and deceived merchants. Have you alleviated the suffering of the people or have you increased the suffering of the people? Now you have created a Qingjiao again, deceived the people, and tricked the people to send them to death one by one. As many as 50,000 or 60,000 people died in the five counties of Jingbei on Jingxi Road this time, most of them were innocent people, how do you explain it? You are shameless enough to make them give their wealth and their wives and daughters for your sexual pleasures. Isn't what you are doing for your own selfishness, adding more pain to the people? At the end of the day, you're not doing it for yourself? Why bother talking about the suffering of the common people? ”
Hai Dongqing shouted: "So what? Man does not perish for his own sake. Is it wrong for me to make a living for myself? They can do the same, and they can do the same to me. It's just that they are stupid, they are cowardly, and they deserve to be oppressed and enslaved by me. I deserve to die for me. ”
Lin Jue sneered: "This is your heart, so there is no need to say some reasons in a high-sounding manner." Don't use your misery as an excuse for the hurtful things you've done in your life. You're just doing it for yourself, and you don't care if anyone else lives or dies. That's what I'm saying about your failure to set up a life for the people. The banner of heaven on your island is just a slogan, and the slogan of the so-called salvation of all the people put forward by the Qingjiao is just a slogan, and you have no intention of doing anything for the poor people. So you ended up where you are today, don't you still understand? You are not worthy to talk about the suffering of any people, because you are one of the causes of the sufferings of the people. ”
Hai Dongqing glared at Lin Jue viciously, suddenly lowered his head and muttered something, reached out and grabbed the dog meat in the pot and chewed it. He didn't want to talk to Lin Jue anymore, because he found that the thoughts in his heart could not be hidden in front of Lin Jue. I can't argue and argue, and my dark and dirty heart is revealed, which is not worth doing.
Lin Jue didn't say much, holding his arms and quietly watching Haidong Qing gobble. Hai Dongqing really eats a lot, a black dog has seven or eight catties of meat on its hind legs, and he eats it clean piece by piece, and he loses pieces of bones on the ground. A jar of daughter red is also more than three catties, and he drank it cleanly.
Finally, the meat was gone, the wine was gone, Hai Dongqing's stomach was also round, he burped a few times, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and stopped.
"Have you eaten enough?" Lin Jue asked.
"It's full." Hai Dongqing's face was full of wine, and his body swayed.
"Good. Dazhai master, there has been an agreement between you and me. The imperial court sent someone to ask me for someone, and the emperor wanted to put you to death, but I stopped you. I promised you what I promised, and I will naturally keep my promise. During this time, you have also helped me a lot, and you have atoned for a lot of your sins, and I think you have woken up yourself. I hope you will be a good person in the next life. Let's leave it at that. In the porcelain bottle is the highly poisonous medicine soul-breaking water, after drinking, there is no pain and no pain, and you can die in a dozen breaths. You drink it. Lin Jue said lightly.
Hai Dongqing stared at the white porcelain bottle, his eyes full of fear. He thought he was not afraid of death, but when death came, he found that he was so afraid.
Under the pressure of Lin Jue's gaze, Hai Dongqing stretched out his trembling hand and reached for the poison porcelain bottle. The moment his fingers touched the porcelain vase, it quickly shrank back as if it had been burned by fire.
