In the remote city where Ye Xiangyang lived, all the people were angry. They had to be angry. Lord Ye came to their county and worked wholeheartedly for the welfare of the people for several years, building water conservancy projects, transforming farmland, promoting education, opening schools, encouraging business, and revitalizing assets...
Over the past few years, the customs and habits have been changed, changing the desolate and dilapidated appearance of the remote town. The people of the town have gradually been educated and abide by the laws and regulations of the dynasty, and people's lives have become smoother.
People shouted Ye Xiangyang as Ye Qingtian.
Now people from the Jiuzhou Empire come and slander others, saying that Ye Qingtian digs three feet into the ground and is extremely greedy
He is really fucking blind. Ye Qingtian has never embezzled a single penny in the few years since he came to the small town. He works alone in the government office without any family. When he works, he takes the government servants and runners with him, and they eat, live and work together.
As of today, all of Ye Qingtian's assets add up to less than a hundred taels of silver. How could he be so greedy and digging deep in the ground? How could he be slandered with such a bad reputation
Some people spoke up for Ye Xiangyang: "Fellow villagers, Lord Ye is wronged. He is really wronged. We want to petition for Lord Ye."
"Yes, in all these years, who has ever seen such a good judge? He was actually framed. We have to do something for him."
"We can't let good people sink to the bottom of the sea. Ye Qingtian is the real Lord of Justice."
…
Once called, a hundred people responded. The people in the whole city knew that Ye Qingtian had suffered a great injustice. First, hundreds of them sat in silence at the gate of the county government office.
People were still coming in an endless stream. Within an hour, the hundreds of people turned into thousands, and then tens of thousands. Finally, all the old people in the remote areas of the north came. Men and women, old and young, black and white, ugly and handsome, there were tens of thousands of them in total. They surrounded the county government office and sat cross-legged.
Someone shouted: "Restore Lord Ye's innocence. We cannot let an honest official be bullied."
Almost everyone on the stage started shouting, "Restore Lord Ye's innocence. We cannot let an honest official be bullied."
“Good people should be rewarded.”
The cheers sounded like thunder, shaking the entire county.
The soldiers and officials who came to arrest Ye Xiangyang looked at the people who were densely gathered outside the government office, and there were still people coming in an endless stream. They were all worried: Could it be that Ye Xiangyang was really a good official
They asked around to find out about Ye Xiangyang's character. They didn't know until they asked, and were shocked to realize that it was Ye Xiangyang who changed the appearance of the remote county and made this wild little town prosperous.
After Ye Xiangyang's governance, the small town became prosperous. It seemed that it was no less prosperous than the cities in the heart of the Kyushu Empire. This was all due to Lord Ye's love for the people and his diligence.
They were also confused. Why did the inspector accuse Ye Xiangyang of digging three feet into the ground and being extremely greedy
They want to take Ye Xiangyang away, but the people are not happy about it. Once you leave, who can tell Ye Xiangyang about his grievances? Isn't that pushing good people into the fire pit
Ye Xiangyang came out, still as smart and capable, still as gentle and elegant, still as smiling. He bowed to all the residents of the small town and said, "All the elders and villagers, I thank you for your kindness. The country has its laws, and the family has its rules. Since he was sent by the court to do this, he must have his reasons. Elders and villagers, I appreciate your kindness. I have to go back with them."
"I ask all the elders and fellow villagers to forgive me. If there is a chance in the future, I am willing to be the county magistrate in our picturesque place with beautiful mountains and rivers. I am also willing to work hard for the elders and fellow villagers to live a prosperous life together."
After discussion, the common people finally decided that they would prepare the Ten Thousand People's Strategy, the Ten Thousand People's Umbrella, and the Ten Thousand People's Petition, and let three powerful warriors in the county follow Lord Ye to the capital.
The officials who arrested Ye Xiangyang had tears in their eyes when they saw the people's trust and love for Ye Xiangyang. They thought that being an official was born for this, what else could they expect
On the day Ye Xiangyang left, people from the entire county came to see him off. They brought food, drinks, clothes, gold and silver, etc., and each of them wanted to give their best to Lord Ye.
Ye Xiangyang looked at all the people and smiled: "Fellow villagers, thank you for your kindness to me. I am not worthy of your love. Let me take a pot of water, a pot of wine, and a handful of soil from our county. I will always miss this beautiful land."
Many people shed tears: "Master Ye, would you like to have a piece of the snack we made for you?"
"Master Ye, God bless you, nothing will happen to you."
"My Lords, you must protect Lord Ye and not let him get into any trouble."
…
They were escorted out of the county town, and out of the county's jurisdiction area which was over fifty miles away. There were still some people seeing them off.
Ye Xiangyang's eyes were filled with tears. What had he done for the people? Yet he was loved by them so much. He felt guilty and ashamed.
"Go back, folks. Go back. As long as Ye can escape from prison, he will definitely come back here and lead everyone to live a good life."
"All good things must come to an end. Go back. Even if you send someone off a thousand miles away, there will always be a farewell."
People said goodbye to Ye Xiangyang with tears. They watched Ye Xiangyang's shadow disappear, and then they slowly turned around.
Ye Xiangyang was captured and brought back to the capital, where he had to worry about hunger, food and thirst along the way.
When they arrived in the capital, someone presented Ye Xiangyang's umbrella, book and policy to the emperor. When the emperor saw these things and read the people's book carefully, he realized that Ye Xiangyang was a model official and a true parent official. At the same time, the emperor also thought that Ye Xiangyang was a top scholar and the lowest official of the state, so why did he become a county magistrate
Investigate this matter thoroughly.
The emperor also personally met with three common people who came from remote areas and escorted Ye Xiangyang, and learned from them some things about Ye Xiangyang when he was the county magistrate.
The emperor decided that Ye Xiangyang was not guilty.
In the prison, someone came to the cell where Ye Xiangyang lived. He was dressed in black, with ruthless and cold eyes. He stabbed Ye Xiangyang in the heart with a sword. Ye Xiangyang immediately bled profusely and died.
As soon as the man in black left, the emperor's edict came down, but Ye Xiangyang did not wait for the emperor's edict.
The emperor was furious. Who had the guts to assassinate Ye Xiangyang right under his nose? Who dared to disregard the rules and do such a thing? Investigate him.
Find some scapegoats, including an inspector.
Heads rolled and fell to the ground.
The three people who saw Ye Xiangyang off fled overnight. They wanted to flee back to their own county and tell everyone that Lord Ye Xiangyang had passed away.
When Ye Wentian and Tang Wan'er received the news, they cried like tearful people. Ye Xiangyang passed the imperial examination and won the third place, so they had a certain status in the Ye family. But now they have no status at all and they have returned to the past.
Tang Wan'er cried herself to death again and again, and when she woke up her eyes were still blurry with tears: "My son, my son Ye Xiangyang, how could you be like this?"
"Son, why did you leave? How are we going to survive..."
Ye Wentian seemed like an eggplant hit by frost, his whole body was in a daze. Who could have thought that what he was waiting for was the bad news about his son? What was the meaning of living in this world
There was a rebellion in the remote cities in the southwest. People felt that they had completely lost confidence in the Kyushu Empire, and they wanted to set up their own regime.
The negotiations between the government troops and them broke down, so a war began. These people relied on the Shiwan Dashan and fought desperately with the government troops.
The emperor ordered people to revise the list of honest officials, and Ye Xiangyang was on the list.
Later, Ye Wentian and Tang Wan'er committed suicide and were buried hastily.
After several decades in this world, no one had heard of Ye Xiangyang's name. A person's name is just a gust of wind. As time goes by, it will no longer be remembered.
Ye Xiangyang opened his eyes on the road, tears already glistening in his eyes. This world, he was experiencing this world. Everything that just happened seemed like a dream. He didn't even know whether the dream was real or false.
The world is forgetful and ruthless. It doesn’t mean that you will be protected just because you are a good person.
Ye Xiangyang walked towards the top of the mountain step by step. He experienced the identities of a martial artist, a prominent official, a general fighting on the frontier, and all kinds of people from all walks of life. He experienced everything that no one else could experience.
Every time Ye Xiangyang wakes up, he has a deeper understanding of the world.
The world is ruthless, forgetful, cyclical, and keeps moving forward...
Walking in this mundane world, what can you grasp? Ye Xiangyang has been thinking.
I have experienced the baptism of worldly life millions of times, experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature countless times, and gone through countless identities. What have I gained in the end
Identity can be changed, state of mind can also be changed, then what is it that cannot be changed? What is the meaning of life and death, why do all living beings want to live well, why no one wants to die.
What is the determination to endure the mundane world, and what are the supreme rules in the mundane world
Ye Xiangyang's identity has undergone countless changes, but these questions still flow in his heart.
No one can change the general trend of the world; the only thing that can be changed is one's own mind.
Ye Xiangyang suddenly grasped a clue, that is, his heart has been turning around in the world of mortals for thousands of years, and it remains unchanged forever, and the outside world is a trend of reincarnation.
The heart is the root, and the trends of heaven and earth move with the heart.
My heart is full of concerns, my heart is crystal clear, like fireflies and the bright moon, eternal and immortal, talking about my own heart.
The red dust is everywhere, the fire of karma is reborn, the world is in your hands, and you sigh with vicissitudes of life. This is what the general trend between heaven and earth is like.
This is the Tao, the great path that is cultivated through experience in the worldly world, the Way of the worldly world.
Ye Xiangyang finally cultivated his own way in the world, and his Taoist skills were finally upgraded to three thousand and four types.
When Ye Xiangyang comprehended the way of the worldly world, all his experiences along the way turned into a ray of light that came into his mind.
