Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu wanted to rush over to question the villagers, but they were stopped by Qi Wang's words.
"Do you think you haven't committed enough crimes?"
As soon as these words came out, the two brothers stood still on the tree trunk as if they had taken root under their feet. Did they commit any crime? The faces of the two brothers and sisters changed, but they didn't know how to react.
Doing evil without knowing it, but always thinking that what you are doing is a good deed. It is not so easy to persuade them and change their minds in a few words.
Rather than talking empty words, let them open their eyes and take a good look at what they have done.
After what happened just now, both Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu were not in a good mood. Even though they were far away from that village, their depressed mood still did not recover.
The three of them walked along the path, their footsteps were very fast, and within a short time, they arrived at the nearest county town.
It was already mid-afternoon, and after entering the city, Qi Wang said that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
The two brothers who had internal energy protection didn't feel hungry, but thinking that the master is now an ordinary person, it's normal to be hungry, so the two of them wanted to find a similar restaurant to eat as usual.
The two brothers and sisters in this county often come here, so they quickly found the best Yuelai restaurant in the city. After arriving at the destination, the two brothers and sisters wanted to invite Qi Wang to go in together.
Looking at the three-storey building with extremely high-grade decoration in front of him, Qi Wang didn't move his footsteps, the two brothers and sisters felt a little strange, so they turned back and walked in front of Qi Wang.
"Master, aren't you hungry? Why don't you come over?"
"Yes, Master, is there something wrong with you?"
Qi Wang looked at his two apprentices, resisting the desire to hit them on the head with his hand.
These two are completely elm lumps, I really don't know how the original owner tolerated them, oh, the original owner is just like them, both are elm lumps and don't understand.
"Do you have money?"
Qi asked a question.
The two brothers and sisters were stunned, with a blank expression on their faces.
Don't they have money
When traveling in the rivers and lakes in the past, the two brothers and sisters would directly withdraw money from the account of the villa. They had never been short of money, so they couldn't adapt to their penniless pauper setting for a while.
"Do you have money?"
The senior brother touched his withered purse and shook his head.
Even if they are stupid, they know that they can't eat in restaurants without money.
"Then master, what are we going to do now?"
Xiao Qingyu asked stupidly.
"Find a way to make money."
Qi Wang pointed to Yuelai Restaurant and said, "I want to eat here. Before dinner, you must earn enough money."
Qi Wang still has a lot of banknotes on him, but he doesn't intend to take them out. These two apprentices have obviously not been beaten in reality. If they want to empathize with ordinary people, they must enter the lives of ordinary people. , otherwise, they might never know how hard the life of ordinary people is.
These two children are not bad in nature, but they have been taught crookedly. Qi Wang thinks that they can still be saved.
Just make money, simple.
The two brothers and sisters were full of confidence, and they were going to go to the homes of a few rich and unkind merchants in the county to withdraw some money.
Qi Wang seemed to have seen through their plan and strangled their way directly.
"You have to rely on your own hands to make money. The old ways are not allowed. You have to be like ordinary people and earn money to eat."
Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu were stunned for a moment, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong. The two brothers, who had never made money with their own hands, were obsessed with self-confidence—earning money for a meal, simple.
"Master, don't worry, we'll be right back."
After saying these words, the two brothers and sisters left.
Looking at the confident backs of the two senior brothers, Qi Huang shook his head, not optimistic about them, and when they disappeared completely, he entered the Yuelai Restaurant.
Well, he is indeed hungry too, it's time to eat something to make up for it.
Qi Wang is not worried that those two apprentices will deceive him, they are both simple-minded people, they will obey his master's words, they will not go against his will, since he said that it is not allowed to use the old methods to make money, They will not use it, but will make money honestly like ordinary people.
But can they really earn enough money by going the normal way by their own abilities? Qi Wang is not sure about this.
The food at Yuelai Restaurant tastes good, and after being full with wine and food, Qi Wang walked out of it contentedly.
The sun was setting and the sky was going to be dark. The two brothers who said they would come back early did not show signs of coming back until the sky completely darkened, the moon climbed into the night sky, and the pedestrians on the street had disappeared. The end of the road Only then did the two familiar figures appear.
Qi Wang didn't greet him, but waited quietly on the spot.
Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu, who were originally high-spirited, looked very depressed at this moment. When they saw Qi Wang standing not far away, the guilt in their hearts rose to the extreme.
Originally, they thought it would be easy to make money like ordinary people with their own hands, but when they actually did it, they realized how difficult it was.
Most of the county towns are recruiting long-term workers, and the money is paid out on a monthly basis. To do it is to start in a year. There are very few places to recruit short-term workers, and the wages are not high. They traveled all over the county town in the afternoon to barely I found a job helping the rice shop to carry rice bags.
However, the two senior brothers worked for half a day, and only got twenty copper coins at the checkout.
Ever since the two of them entered the Famous Sword Villa, the smallest money they saw was only scraps of silver. How had they ever seen these copper coins? After working for such a long time, but only got such a small amount of money, these copper coins are probably not enough to pay for a plate of food in Yuelai Restaurant.
What can such a little money do
The two brothers thought that the owner of the rice shop had deducted their wages, but the other people who worked together did not have any dissatisfaction, but happily took the money and left.
The owner of the rice shop is rich and heartless, and he is clearly exploiting these poor people. Even if the two brothers and sisters want to get angry, they dare not be impulsive when they think of what their master has told them.
Master forbids them to use force casually. If Master finds out that they are disobedient, Master will definitely be angry.
The two brothers and sisters rarely used their brains. They went to the common people who worked with them and asked them why they were so happy when they gave so little money. Shouldn't we go to trouble the owner of the rice shop together
"The owner of the rice shop is rich and unkind. We have done so much work but paid so little wages. How can you be so happy?"
Xiao Qingyu asked her doubts, waiting for the other party to answer.
However, after hearing Xiao Qingyu's words, the commoner looked at Xiao Qingyu like a monster.
"How can you say such a thing? Boss Jia is not rich and benevolent? Boss Jia is the kindest person, and the price he gives to us day laborers is also the most reasonable in the entire county. You can get ten copper coins for half a day's work. Where do you find such a good thing? You are really strange, there must be a limit to greed."
That person felt that Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu were acting a bit out of place, and didn't want to say anything more to them, so he left here in a hurry.
These two people are really inexplicable, what they said must not be known by Boss Jia, or else they will be so sad
However, Xiao Qingyu and Lin Qingfeng also found it unbelievable, but it was only ten copper coins, how much money was there
Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu didn't believe it at first, but they asked all the workers who worked with them, and everyone's words were exactly the same.
They all said that Boss Jia is very kind, and the price he gave is also the most suitable. What they are most willing to do is like the job given by the owner of the rice store. If it weren’t for Boss Jia who only finds people to do the work a few times a month. If not, they will definitely work for Boss Jia for a long time.
After hearing these people's words, the two brothers and sisters only felt that their worldview had been greatly impacted.
If the price given by the owner of the rice shop is right, and he is not a rich and unkind profiteer, but a good person, what about those profiteers they have dealt with? Are they all good people
Then they used to rob the rich and help the poor, and those profiteers who did justice for the sky, are they all good people? If, if they are all good people, what are they doing...
Thinking of this, the two brothers and sisters dare not continue to think about it, they are afraid that if they continue to think about it, what they once thought of as righteousness will become evil.
Afterwards, the brothers didn't find work anymore, and when it got dark, they were afraid that it would be dangerous for Master to be alone, so they came back with the twenty copper coins.
"Brother, we only have this money, how can we have enough for the master? We can survive with the two internal energy guards, but the master is just an ordinary person now..."
Xiao Qingyu's footsteps became slower and slower, and in the end she couldn't move at all.
Is it so hard to live without money? Is it so easy for ordinary people to make money? Even if they have internal energy to protect their bodies, they find it hard. For those ordinary people who don't have internal energy to protect their bodies, wouldn't it be even more difficult for them
Lin Qingfeng gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "We will buy whatever we can. At worst, we will go to the mountain to catch rabbits for Master to eat. He will never be hungry. We have hands and feet, and good kung fu. Always take good care of Master."
Hearing what Lin Qingfeng said, Xiao Qingyu now had the courage, yes, even if they couldn't make any money, relying on their abilities, they wouldn't starve Master.
The two walked up to Qi Wang step by step, because they were afraid of seeing Qi Wang's disappointed eyes, they didn't dare to look up at Qi Wang, and wished they could lower their heads to the ground.
"Master, I'm sorry, it's the disciple who is incompetent."
Looking at the twenty copper coins handed over by the two seniors, Qi Huang was silent for a moment, then said: "Didn't you say that making money is easy?"
The two brothers and sisters opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.
Making money doesn't seem to be that easy.
"Don't rely on force to rob the rich and give to the poor, that's all you can earn in a day."
The two brothers and sisters were not talking, but their heads were lowered even lower, and the sense of guilt in their hearts deepened a lot. They were useless, they couldn't even do such a simple thing.
Qi Wang didn't talk about anything else, they couldn't even afford an inn with only 20 copper coins, so Qi Wang took his two little apprentices to make do in an alley all night.
There were quite a few people in that alley, and some of them looked familiar, like villagers in the villages at the foot of Mingjian Villa.
The sky is too dark, the light in the alley is not good, the night vision ability of martial arts practitioners is very good, and they can see the appearance of those people clearly, but they obviously can't see Qi Huang and the others clearly. , these people immediately became nervous, but when they found that Qi Wang and the others were also resting in the alley, those people also put down their guard.
Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu took off their coats and spread them on the ground, letting Qi Wang sleep on the ground to rest, while they sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating and exhaling.
The other people in the alley had already put down their guard, but after seeing the actions of Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu, those people ran out of the alley in a panic like frightened animals.
After what happened today, Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu have undergone some changes. After seeing those people fleeing regardless, they felt that it might have something to do with them.
Have they reached the point where everyone is afraid
The two brothers were full of doubts, but Qi Wang had already fallen asleep, they didn't dare to disturb Qi Wang, so they could only keep these doubts in their hearts.
The long night passed quickly, and Qi Duan, who had a good night's sleep, woke up refreshed, but Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu, who stayed up all night without sleep, looked a little unhappy.
"Let's go and have breakfast."
Qi Wang didn't say anything else, and left the alley with his two apprentices.
The morning market outside was already open, pedestrians were coming and going on the street, Qi Wang took two apprentices to the breakfast stall on the side of the road, and bought three bowls of wontons for six renminbi.
The portions of wontons were quite large, and Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu ate to their hearts content. They just felt that they had never eaten such delicious wontons. After their stomachs were filled, their moods seemed to be much brighter.
After eating, Qi Wang took them away from the small town.
It wasn't until they left the county seat and set foot on the official road that Qi Wang asked them what happened yesterday.
The two brothers and sisters did not hide anything, and told Qi Wang everything honestly.
"So, when you judged whether the other party was a corrupt official or a rich and heartless person when you were acting chivalrously, you all relied on your own subjective judgment?"
Qi Wang asked, there was no emotional change in his tone, but the two brothers and sisters could feel that the master was not in a good mood.
The two of them didn't dare to make more excuses, they nodded honestly.
"Ok."
Qi Wang said again: "Why do you think your judgment is correct?"
Before yesterday's incident, the two of them could confidently say that their judgment was correct, but after yesterday's incident, the two of them could no longer utter their excuses.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Qi Wang took another dose of strong medicine: "Have you ever thought about how many of the corrupt officials and businessmen you killed for being rich and heartless were wronged by you? "
"Have you ever given them a chance to defend themselves? Do they deserve to be killed by you? Just because you are martial arts fighters with strong martial arts skills? Because you hold high the banner of justice, you can do whatever you want to them and manipulate their lives ?"
"What do you think you are?"
"In the name of acting for the heavens, do you really think you are the gods?"
Qi Wang pressed them one sentence after another, and the two brothers and sisters had layers of cold sweat on their foreheads, but they didn't know how to explain.
They want to say that what they are doing is right, they want to say that they are doing justice for the heavens, but when the words come to their lips, they can't say anything.
Usually, when they are rich, they always have a superior attitude when they contact these ordinary people. They have never been among these ordinary people. Listen to what they say, as if they have placed themselves above the ordinary people. They don't need to listen to what these ordinary people say, they just need to do things according to their own will and judgment.
Qi Wang stopped, seeing the two of them began to reflect, he didn't say much, and the three of them hurried all the way, heading towards Hangzhou City.
Famous Sword Villa is not far from Hangzhou City. With their footsteps, they went all out and arrived in Hangzhou City in about five days.
Hangzhou City is the largest city in the south. After arriving here, the clothes of the common people going in and out of the city are much better, and their spirits are much better than those they have seen before.
The three of them followed the flow of people into Hangzhou City, and after entering the city, Qi Wang asked the brothers if there was any restaurant in the two cities who knew their identities.
Lin Qingfeng thought for a while and said: "I know the shopkeeper of the VIP building, he knows my name and who I am."
Qi Wang made a decision immediately.
"Let's go to the VIP building."
For the past five days, because they had no money to stay in the inn, the three of them had been living in the open, looking a little haggard. After having no money, the two brothers and sisters finally realized the importance of money when they heard the master said that they would go to the largest VIP building in the city The two panicked, and hurriedly opened their mouths to stop Qi Wang.
"Master, we have no money."
They only have one copper coin for their whole body now. The consumption of the VIP building is so high, how can they afford it
Qi Wang pointed at Lin Qingfeng, and said confidently: "The shopkeeper of the VIP building knows Qingfeng."
Xiao Qingyu said nonchalantly: "So what if you know Second Senior Brother? We don't have any money."
Qi Wang looked at Xiao Qingyu with a lovesick look like looking at a fool: "Since you know Qingfeng, you know that he is the jade-faced son of Mingjian Villa. Can you still renege on the debt? Find Mingjian Villa to reimburse all expenses."
Lin Qingfeng & Xiao Qingyu: "..."
They felt that something was weird, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
However, at this time, Qi Huang raised his footsteps and walked towards the direction of the VIP building.
The two brothers and sisters didn't care about what to think, and hurriedly followed.
The VIP building was not far from here, and the three of them arrived at their destination very quickly. Qi Wang walked in first, and Lin Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyu followed.
As a result, they had just entered the door when they witnessed a big show.
"The prostitute, take your life!"
The three of them had just stepped into the Huibin building when a young man in brocade clothes was kicked down from upstairs. He fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain. Jumping up and down, she pulled out the long sword slung around her waist, and stabbed at the young master on the ground mercilessly. Judging by her posture, she seemed to want to kill him in public.
"Breeze."
Qi Huang shouted, Lin Qingfeng drew out the soft sword wrapped around his waist, and blocked the girl's sword that stabbed the young master's heart.
The girl in red couldn't match Lin Qingfeng's internal strength, so she stepped back a few steps, but the young man escaped from death, crawled up from the ground, and hid behind Lin Qingfeng.
"Heroes, help!"
Seeing someone stopping her to teach that prostitute, the girl in red raised her brows and scolded coquettishly, "How dare you stop me!"
