Chapter 95 The Whisper of the Strong

"I didn't know how deep your relationship with your husband was!

Make you decide to leave your children behind and follow him.

But since your husband values ​​this child so much, I don't think he would want you to abandon your child just to see him earlier!

You should raise your child by yourself!
I will give you a job and send your children to school!
But the premise of all this is that you have to be alive!

My kindness is limited to providing you with a livelihood, not including raising children for you.

Once you die, I will throw this child into a beggar's den!
Let him fend for himself!

Don't think I can't do it!

I am far more cruel than you think!
Besides, to be precise, I am not your benefactor, but your enemy!

The reason why your family suffered an unexpected disaster is that someone wanted to kill me. I fought with the person who came, and you became the innocent victim.

For my own goal, I didn't care about the life and livelihood of you ordinary people, and used many powerful and influential moves!

So, don’t have any expectations of someone like me who is so heartless and ungrateful!
My kindness is limited. I cannot sympathize with you infinitely, nor can I raise children for you.

If you want your child to survive, you must survive first!

If you think I am your enemy and want to avenge your husband, you'd better live first!

Whether you want to find the flaw after my negligence and kill me, or train your child and let him avenge his father, you must survive first!

Don't let your children recognize the enemy as their father! ! "

Zhu Chengwu looked at the blind woman who was kowtowing to him and said some heartbreaking words.

As Zhu Chengwu finished speaking, the blind woman who was kowtowing froze.

She didn't expect that the "kind-hearted person" and "great benefactor" who saved her and her son turned out not to be a benefactor.

Not only was she not a benefactor, she was also the enemy who harmed her husband.

Her husband

Her husband who suffered so much but still had hope and wanted to give her and her children a good life!
Do you really want to hand your son over to the murderer who killed your husband?
The blind woman's original intention was indeed to let her child leave without pain, so that he would not have to suffer the pain that she and her husband had experienced.

Later, when the blind woman found out that the person who saved her seemed kind and that her child had hope of survival, she changed her mind.

She wanted the benefactor in front of her to adopt her child.

For this goal, she has even decided to die.

After she dies, her child will be an orphan without a father or a mother. The benefactor in front of her can adopt her child without any worries, without having to worry about some miscellaneous dirty things!
However, Zhu Chengwu's words now made the blind woman, who had already decided to die, feel at a loss.

If she dies, her child will not be adopted!

If she is alive, her child will have hope of survival!
But at the same time, she was worried: could she, a blind woman whose husband had died, really raise and nurture her child?

This…

There were two reasons why the blind woman initially decided to die.

One is the deep affection for her deceased husband.

One is to give her child hope to survive.

Initially, from the blind woman's perspective, both of these reasons led to her death.

Therefore, the blind woman's decision to die was made easily and decisively.

But now, these two reasons are contradictory, one wants her to die and the other wants her to live.

Such a contradiction made the blind woman, who had little experience, a little at a loss.

suddenly!

Wow~~~
A burst of loud crying interrupted the blind woman's thoughts and left her no time to think about whether she should die or live.

Under maternal instinct!
After a flurry of panic, the blind woman finally took the child from Zhu Chengwu's arms.

After a lot of consolation, the child's crying did not subside at all.

It turned out that Zhu Chengwu discovered the blind woman's helplessness.

Constantly using hidden power to stimulate the child's pain nerves.

This is why the baby kept crying.

“Such a disobedient child is so troublesome!

You'd better bring it yourself!
My promise will not change. I will give you a job within your ability so that you and your children can survive!
I don't think your husband would mind if you were to spend time with him a dozen or even dozens of years later in order to raise his child!"

Zhu Chengwu said this and no longer paid attention to the mother who was lovingly caressing and comforting the child in her arms with her blood-stained hands.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at a bailiff from the Xuzhou County Government who had appeared not far away.

"come here!"

Zhu Chengwu called the bailiff to come in front of him.

"Master Hou!"

Hearing Zhu Chengwu's greeting, the yamen runner trotted to three steps in front of Zhu Chengwu with a smile on his face and bowed.

"What's your name?"

Zhu Chengwu looked at the lonely county yamen runner in front of him and asked.

"My Lord, I am Xu Tianfu, and I am appointed as the first shift servant of the county yamen."

The bailiff suppressed his excitement and his voice was a little trembling when he replied, but it was still fluent.

As an ordinary yamen runner, he did not follow the large group of the county yamen, but instead came to Zhu Chengwu alone.

This Xu Tianfu is either a speculator or a die-hard fan of Zhu Chengwu.

"Xu Tianfu, right?

I remember you!
I have a task for you. Go to the coffin shop and buy a coffin!
Help the head of this family choose a good place for him to be buried in peace.

At the same time, help the women, children and young children to handle the funeral!
The wife of this family has poor eyesight. Please write down the address of the husband's grave.

When the child grows up, he will also know where his biological father’s grave is!
If the woman of this family dies in the future, their son can bury them together!

Please write down how much money it cost in total to do these things.

After finishing these things, you bring them mother and son directly to Fu'an Marquis Mansion to report to me and settle the account. The Fu'an Marquis Mansion will compensate you for the money!
Also, you have to watch over them these few days, don't let anything happen to them, they will stay in Fu'an Marquis's Mansion to work!"

Zhu Chengwu looked at the county government servant in front of him, pointed at the blind woman holding the baby and the dead man not far from them, and gave the order.

Without Zhu Chengwu's secret manipulation, the baby in the woman's arms soon stopped crying under the woman's skillful comfort.

"My Lord is so kind!"

When the yamen runner heard Zhu Chengwu's order, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said with admiration.

Although Xu Tianfu came here with the purpose of speculation and seeking refuge, his admiration now is sincere.

As Marquis of Fu'an and a master of martial arts, he is still so concerned about ordinary people in every detail.

This really made Xu Tianfu, who also came from an ordinary background, admire and be moved.

Even if it's just a show, being willing to do it for ordinary people is enough in Xu Tianfu's opinion!
You know, in this world, ordinary people who have no power and no rights are almost always ignored by the upper echelons of the dynasty and the martial artists in the world.

If other people were to switch places with Marquis Fu'an, Xu Tianfu felt that under the current circumstances, a kind-hearted person would at most compensate them with a few taels of silver as a token of his appreciation.

Who will take care of the series of complicated things that follow?
But now, Marquis Fu'an is in charge!
Not only did he take care of it, but he also took care of every detail. How could Xu Tianfu not be moved and admired by him?

“Don’t flatter me!
Although you are not strong and your status is not high!
But after all, he was on duty in the county government!
You should understand!
Who is the person who caused the current situation?
I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me!

To be precise, I was the murderer who killed the young man of this family and the instigator who brought such misery to this family.

How can I be kind when I am like this?
Besides, I am only doing this on a whim!"

Looking at the dead body of the man not far in front of him, and the blind woman who was groping and comforting the baby in her arms.

Zhu Chengwu really doesn’t understand where his kindness lies?

Is Renhou ruining the life of the lame man and the blind woman, who could have lived the rest of their lives in harmony?

Is it that kindness is causing disaster for Xuzhou City?
During this journey, Zhu Chengwu's original idea of ​​attracting more followers by walking around Xuzhou city became less and less true!

Until now, seeing the dead lame man, the injured blind woman, the poor little baby...

At this moment, Zhu Chengwu's idea of ​​attracting more talents to invest has completely disappeared.

Zhu Chengwu feels that he can be selfish and self-interested, but there are some basic bottom lines that he still has to abide by.

Once he loses his bottom line, Zhu Chengwu will probably become a complete power monster and a martial arts monster.

Power and martial arts are important, but maintaining the bottom line of being a human being is equally important.

It would certainly be better if more talents came to invest, but for Zhu Chengwu, it is not necessarily impossible to achieve his goal even if there are no talents.

Over the past twenty years, hasn't Zhu Chengwu relied on himself and on using other people's strengths to get to where he is today, step by step?

In this case, why does Zhu Chengwu have to put on a show today to attract more talents to invest?

Now, it is more important to actively rescue the people affected by the disaster and make our hearts at peace.

After giving instructions to Xu Tianfu and settling this family, Zhu Chengwu no longer paid attention to the blind woman with empty eyes and complicated expression, and walked straight to the next damaged house.

Zhu Chengwu believed that Xu Tianfu could handle the affairs of the blind woman and her family.

Being able to appear in front of Zhu Chengwu at this point in time, no matter whether Xu Tianfu is a "speculator" or a "die-hard fan", he is a smart one.

Moreover, Zhu Chengwu had already said that all the money spent would be reimbursed, and after the matter was done, he was asked to bring the blind woman and her son to report directly to Zhu Chengwu...

With such instructions, Zhu Chengwu believed that the yamen runner would feel his importance and would do his job seriously.

As for why Zhu Chengwu did not personally deal with the affairs of this poor blind woman and her family who had suffered an unexpected disaster?
The blind woman and her family are indeed pitiful, but no one knows whether there will be more pitiful and more urgent situations in the future.

Zhu Chengwu can't stay!
Only if Zhu Chengwu continues to take action under the watchful eyes of the public in Xuzhou City, will the forces in Xuzhou City truly feel Zhu Chengwu's attention to the disaster-stricken people.

Rather than focusing on each household.

As long as they can see and confirm that Zhu Chengwu attaches great importance to the disaster-stricken people, then under Zhu Chengwu's current power, those forces in Xuzhou City will have to contribute most of their strength to participate in the rescue, whether for the purpose of pleasing Zhu Chengwu or out of consideration of not wanting to offend Zhu Chengwu.

Once Zhu Chengwu left, it would be impossible to achieve this effect by just a few orders and messages.

When it comes to rescuing disaster-stricken people, even though Zhu Chengwu is a master, he is still far behind the combined efforts of all the major forces in Xuzhou City.

The facts are exactly as Zhu Chengwu thought!
Zhu Chengwu continued to appear in various disaster-stricken areas in Xuzhou City.

More and more warriors and civilians followed Zhu Chengwu.

They began to follow Zhu Chengwu and do whatever they could to help the people.

Whenever he saw more people following him, Zhu Chengwu would start to divert them.

Select a person from the government office or a noble family to lead the team, and then select a few civilians to cooperate with them, and throw the task of on-site rescue to them. After they complete the rescue mission, they should go to the Fu'an Marquis Mansion to report the results to Zhu Chengwu in person, and account for the money spent.

With his past life insights and present life experiences, Zhu Chengwu knew that sometimes, once something was arranged, it had to be followed up.

Otherwise, the people below might implement the order in a discounted manner or simply not implement it.

It’s not that Zhu Chengwu doesn’t trust the people below him, but that people have this bad nature.

As for asking them to report directly to Zhu Chengwu after they have finished their work.

Only by listening to the report in person can Zhu Chengwu show his importance and make them work more wholeheartedly.

These warriors and civilians who followed Zhu Chengwu to rescue the disaster-stricken people, not all of them, but at least most of them, did so to gain recognition in front of Zhu Chengwu.

Just letting them work but not giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in front of Zhu Chengwu, Zhu Chengwu is not so ruthless as to abandon them.

How could Zhu Chengwu pretend not to understand when he knew everything clearly?
That would dampen their enthusiasm!

As for the issue of the children of aristocratic families not being short of money to help the disaster-stricken people and not having to ask the Fu'an Marquis' Mansion to pay for it, they said that.

Zhu Chengwu severely criticized the young man from aristocratic family who requested "not to pay the bill from the Fu'an Marquis' Mansion."

Whether he was motivated by selfish desire to gain more exposure or out of pure kindness, his speech seemed too immature.

He may not be short of money and does not care about the little money used to help the disaster-stricken people.

But what about everyone else?
For example, the ordinary yamen runner who first appeared in front of Zhu Chengwu and was arranged by Zhu Chengwu to help the blind woman and her son choose a grave and hold their funeral.

The salary of an ordinary yamen runner in the county government, even if some extra money is added.

A funeral is enough to wipe out 80% of his savings.

Let them pay such a large bill for their kindness and flattery.

How many people don’t hold grudges?
When doing things, you should not only consider yourself, but also others!

After a whole day and night, Zhu Chengwu finally walked through all the disaster-stricken areas in Xuzhou City.

Zhu Chengwu saw many shocking scenes.

This is something that Zhu Chengwu had never seen in the past when he knew he could not control it and chose to be an ostrich in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion.

There was a lame little girl who lived next to a bridge tunnel and luckily escaped the collapse of the bridge tunnel.

As for why she didn't live in a bridge tunnel which could provide better protection from wind and rain.

Because the bridge tunnel had already been occupied by older homeless people.

She could only live next to a bridge hole that could slightly block the cool breeze.

For her, the best choice was to be next to a bridge tunnel that could block the cool breeze.

There is also a little boy who is dying in a corner of a collapsed temple, with a face full of pits and dents, and whose father and mother are unknown!

...

The numerous shocking things made Zhu Chengwu frightened and lament.

After seeing Zhu Chengwu's great attention and careful inquiries to this group of vulnerable groups who were hungry, cold, and dirty, more and more representatives from government offices and aristocratic families at all levels in Xuzhou who followed Zhu Chengwu said that their wealth came from the people and should be used for the people, and they were willing to take over vulnerable groups such as the lame little girl and the orphan with a rotten face.

Moreover, the representatives of government offices and aristocratic families also made promises to Zhu Chengwu that they would not only ensure that the lame little girl, the orphan with rotten face and others would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but would also treat their chronic diseases such as lameness and rotten face.

But there was one thing Zhu Chengwu couldn’t understand. What had they been doing so enthusiastically?
You have to know that as the local government and local wealthy families in Xuzhou City, it is impossible for them to be completely ignorant of these things!
Especially for government offices, ensuring people’s livelihood is their primary responsibility.

Could it be that they were also playing ostrich like Zhu Chengwu before?

Local ostrich?

So why not continue now?

You have to know that they are different from Zhu Chengwu before. They are not targeted or restricted, and thus have to act like ostriches!

Or maybe their enthusiasm and kindness will only appear after a strong man like Zhu Chengwu shows his respect!
It is true that the roar of the weak is deaf to the ears, while the whispers of the strong are resounding everywhere!
