Lao Tzu said

Chapter 15

The two got closer, maybe the incense was fused with poison, and Bai Ke accidentally broke something beside him.

A cloud of smoke floated out, and after Bai Ke came back to his senses again, he had been taken out of the Liu residence by the little emperor.

"Bai, you... are you still alive?" The little emperor couldn't tell whether it was excitement or surprise, anyway, he was just happy.

Perhaps the injury from the past few days hadn't healed, or perhaps he had inhaled too much incense, Bai Ke looked at the broken bottle in his hand, then at the direction of Liu's residence, and fell to the ground.

After waking up again, Liu's house had been ransacked and beheaded by the little emperor.

The reasons are: offending the dragon body, harming colleagues, and murdering murderers.

This is how it happened.

The little emperor sneaked out of the palace and sneaked into Liu's mansion at the same time as Bai Keqing.

There are many masters in Liu's mansion. In order to prevent the little emperor from dying inside, Mr. Fang specially sent some martial arts practitioners to pretend to be new servants in the mansion to cover the little emperor.

The little emperor was one of those servants, and before Bai Keqing entered Lord Liu's room, the little emperor had already noticed Bai Keqing.

The little emperor followed Bai Keqing to Liu Duhai's room.

In order to add to the fun, Mr. Liu did not hesitate to use the incense poison that fascinated the guards of the Mo Mansion that day.

It was precisely because of this negligence that the little emperor caught him.

Because the incense and poison floated onto Bai Keqing's body, so... there was evidence of a crime.

Coupled with the fact that the watchman came to the Mo Mansion that day and smelled the strange fragrance, the case was naturally cleared up.

Now, Liu Duhai has been imprisoned in the prison, and will be executed at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow.

It's just that there was a small episode in the middle, which almost let Liu Duhai go, but fortunately, the little emperor gave the order to die.

In the eyes of the common people, the little emperor is the biggest, and the empress dowager must not interfere in government affairs.

If the Empress Dowager does not know how to measure and loses popular support, it will be useless even if all the ministers stand on the side of the Empress Dowager.

Sometimes the people are the biggest.

If the people don't listen to the ministers, it is useless for the ministers to take care of them.

Just like a game, the little emperor is the biggest, he controls everyone, and everyone must listen to him.

If someone doesn't want to play, then those who play will abandon him.

If the little emperor, the biggest one, did something against the rules, those people would stop playing with him, then the little emperor would not be the biggest one.

To put it bluntly, if someone is playing with you, then the game is real.

The power of the masses is powerful and immeasurable.

Without the hearts of the people, without the hearts of the people, everything is useless.

The people are willing to give the king the greatest power, and they can also confiscate the king's greatest power.

Knowing this, the Empress Dowager decided to abandon Liu Duhai.

That day the Empress Dowager rushed from the palace, before she could be rescued, she was thrown rotten cabbage by the people.

Who let the empress dowager interfere in the government affairs.

The lives of Liu Anming, Jiang Shashui, Du Qianfei, and Mo Hongtian are all fates.

Liu Duhai killed someone on his own, so let's pay him back...

If you steal it, you have to pay it back. If you take away the right of others to stay in the world, you can only go to them to pay it back.

After Bai Keqing woke up, the little emperor left.

He walked away very simply, leaving nothing behind.

In the bamboo forest in the afternoon, butterflies fly and clouds float.

Mo Guoke sat on the grass, looked at the jar left by Master Mo, and at the white dove in the sky, very confused.

The big yellow dog sitting beside Mo Guoke was also very confused.

In Mo Guoji, his father died and his friend died.The big yellow dog is about to die for the masters.

Bai Ke looked at all this and said nothing.

Does he still count on what he promised to Master Mo?So what happened to his sister and Sukuo?

Bai Ke is also very confused.

Perhaps, Xi'er is still waiting for him in prison.

Dong Lingbai's family was wronged, and they shouldn't have been imprisoned.

He wanted to go back and check, Xi'er might be in the Wanjie Temple, or he might be in the cell.

Lord Mo is dead, the Empress Dowager may send some people over.

If Master Mo really let Xi'er go, then Xi'er should be in the Wanjie Temple, if Master Mo didn't let Xi'er go, then... is he still in the cell?

Bai Ke didn't know, he wanted to go to the cell to see.

Bai Ke left immediately, Mo Guo engraved like that day, did not keep him, just watched Bai Ke leave.

Bai Ke quickly returned to the cell, but the guards at the gate did not stop him.

There is no one in the cell, and there is no one in every cell, as if the world has evaporated.

Strong blood flowed over, and Bai Ke walked step by step.

Going deep, only Liu Duhai and Gu Yiliu were locked up in the entire prison.

Everyone else... where did they go?

What about the prisoners?

All... where did they all go?

What about the prisoners who were also like them?

What about the prisoner who covered him and Xi'er with a layer of clothes while he and Xi'er were sleeping soundly at night?

What about the prisoner who always joked with them at mealtimes?

What about scaring their prisoners by making faces in the middle of the night?

What about the prisoner who always picks locks and borrows things while the official is away?

What about prisoners who are not talking about life and death?

Always help them hide the escaped prisoners?

How about bullying the prisoner who has nothing to do?

What about the prisoner who keeps visiting other cells?

are gone...

……

Everyone escapes from prison, they will not run away, they will come back when they buy things, they will come back after having fun, and they will come back after seeing the world.

Because they have no home.

Everyone is like them, the family is gone.

If you can see it, you will die.

Everyone thinks that being in prison is better than going outside.

Because everyone is sick and sympathetic.

Although he could die at any time, but... he has long since lost his worries, hasn't he?

are gone.

I can't see them, I can't hear them, I can't touch them.

It seems that they just disappeared, all of them disappeared.

Bai Ke walked towards Liu Duhai's cell door and looked at the two who fell on the ground.

It is absolutely impossible that Master Mo did it.

Temple of Myriad Tribulations.

Little monk: "The monks I went to look for haven't come back yet. I heard from some people who passed by the mass grave that they... probably died."

"Dead..." Bai Ke looked at the dead leaves in the sky, suddenly lost his mind.

Xi'er is dead?Soku is dead too?

"Xie'er wants to eat rice cakes."

"The disciple is going down the mountain to make rice cakes."

"Sakusa hasn't come back yet?"

"Master, he went down the mountain to make rice cakes."

"Sakusa hasn't come back yet?"

"Master, he went down the mountain to make rice cakes."

"Sakusa hasn't come back yet?"

"Master, he went down the mountain to make rice cakes."

"Why does Xu Cao go down the mountain to make rice cakes every day! Isn't there food in the temple!"

"Master, Suso likes making rice cakes."

"Brother, Xi'er likes to eat rice cakes."

"..."

"Sucao, why do you go down the mountain every day? The host is angry."

"Yeah, Sukuo, the rest of us blocked a scolding for you."

"Xu Cao, your scriptures, go down the mountain once, and copy ten times."

"Shoucao, and Buddhist scriptures, make rice cakes once, and copy them ten times."

"..."

On the second day, on the execution ground.

Mo Guoke sat on the roof near the execution ground and bought a basket of rotten cabbage and rotten eggs.

Bai Keqing leaned against the window on the second floor of the inn, watching the people on the street.

Tourists on the street looked at the prison van driving past, grabbed rotten cabbages and threw them at them.

The people in the prison car were Liu Duhai and Gu Yiliu.

Liu Duhai didn't speak or make a sound, and neither did Gu Yiliu.

The rotten cabbage hit the body, which hurts, and the rotten egg hit the body, which also hurts.

When the prison car came under Mo Guoke, Mo Guoke dropped a basket, which happened to hit Liu Duhai on the forehead.

Liu Duhai looked up in pain, saw Mo Guoke sitting on the roof, and secretly remembered it.

Mo Guoke smashed another basket down, which happened to hit Liu Duhai's forehead again.

Dozens of rotten eggs fell down with crackling crackles, and all those egg liquids stuck to Liu Duhai's body, and Liu Duhai grinned in pain.

The big yellow dog squeezed into the crowd looked at Liu Duhai and Gu Yiliu, and followed behind the prison car.

Those passers-by who were onlookers threw rotten vegetable leaves on Liu Duhai and Gu Yiliu, and they were hanged, and the big yellow dog yelled at the passers-by.

Although the big yellow dog is fierce, those passers-by are not easy to bully, they still smash it.

Under the scolding of passers-by, the prison car drove the two to the execution ground.

The execution ground was huge, and the executioner held up the big knife, raised the jug, took a sip of wine, and sprayed it on the big knife.

The big knife was stained with a lot of blood, but it was still as sharp as when I bought it.

The two were taken to the execution ground by the officials, and the big yellow dog followed.

The big yellow dog circled around the two of them, a bit reluctant, its master... is going to die?

The white dove in the sky cooed twice, flew to Liu Duhai's head, and stepped on it.

Liu Duhai shook his head, as if he wanted to shake the white dove off his head.

But before he could shake it, his head was held down by the executioner and placed on the guillotine.

Pressed by the executioner, the white dove also flew away.

Liu Duhai is not reconciled, but... what can I do?The empress dowager abandoned him.

Gu Yiliu was also pressed on the guillotine, and Gu Yiliu cried on the spot.

She just... wanted to marry a good husband, why, why did she die on the guillotine because of him in just a few days?

Isn't this the dream of every unmarried girl?Why?

Her mother taught her since she was a child that a man cannot be loved, and a woman will find it difficult to live without a rich man, and it will be easier to pretend to be on a daily basis.

But why?She was going to die on the guillotine within a few days of marriage, if she had known this, she would not follow her.

What kind of pretense, go to hell!She also wants to live a good life like other women.

Let all the royal family and nobles die. If she can survive, she must live well.

Messy thoughts ran wildly in his mind, and tears flowed down Gu Yiliu's face.

The big yellow dog was also sad watching from the side, so turned his head away.

Bai Ke in the distance looked at the knife in the executioner's hand, threw the remaining flowers in his sleeves into the wind, and let the wind blow away.

The residual flowers were blown into the air, and the wind blew the residual flowers into Mo Guoke's arms, and Mo Guoke was stunned for a moment.

Sitting on the execution ground, Mr. Fang glanced at the sky, raised the teacup, uncovered the tea cover, and took a sip of tea: "Cut it off..."

The big yellow dog roared, but no one paid attention to it.

Hearing this, the executioner raised his big knife and wanted to swing it down, but for some reason, a strange wind blew from somewhere, and when he opened his eyes, Liu Duhai disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yiliu was left alone with tears in her eyes.
