Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch
Chapter 974: Public Opinion
Coming out of Li Yuan's palace, Yun Ye's face was gloomy and his feet were swift.
Things on his side were developing not far from what he expected. The emperor Li Yuan did call Pei Ji and the old man of the Dou family, and pulled Yun Ye to play a mahjong table, trying to solve the problem on the card table.
At the beginning, with Li Yuan's pressure, the atmosphere on the card table was still okay.
But when the old man Dou said in a sinister way that there was already a wax girl kneeling on the mourning hall of his grandson, and a boy was still missing, Yun Ye's anger that he had endured for a day finally broke out.
He completely tore his face with the old man Dou on the card table and officially declared war.
Neither the emperor Li Yuan nor Pei Ji expected Yun Ye to be so angry, and they looked at him in astonishment.
Obviously, they were all carnivores, and did not take the life of a singer seriously at all.
Such performance made Yun Ye even more angry, and he became ruthless and threatened that he must make the Dou family pay the price for it.
Since then, the card game ended unhappily. Yun Ye did not show them any mercy. After saying the harsh words, he strode out of the palace.
Prince Li Chengqian chased after him from behind, grabbed Yun Ye, and asked worriedly: "Ye Zi, do you really want to avenge that singer?"
Yun Ye hung his fist on the palace wall and said bitterly: "I don't want to avenge Lu Zhu, I just want to give justice to the wronged souls who died tragically in the world. Confucianism always talks about benevolence and forgiveness. Old man Dou must also like benevolence and forgiveness, but he used this noble virtue on himself and was only cruel to others..."
"There was an article called "Song of Righteousness" before, which I always couldn't understand. Now I suddenly understand that those noble people, when they first did these things, originally had a sense of injustice in their hearts, which made people toss and turn and couldn't sleep. Only by doing this thing can they really sleep well."
Li Chengqian looked at Yun Ye's expression and nodded: "It seems that you are serious this time. . "
Yun Ye glanced at him: "Why do you think so?"
Li Chengqian sighed and said: "You were so angry that you even forgot to take the gold you won. This is not your character, so I said that you are serious this time. At least this matter is more important to you than the pile of gold."
Yun Ye frowned, paused, and asked: "Where is the gold?"
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I put it away for you. You can send it to the Yun family anytime you want."
Yun Ye shook his head and said: "No, I will write a petition and send it to your house later. You can use the gold to print hundreds of thousands of copies of the petition I wrote. I want all the people in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, to know the beastly behavior of the Dou family!"
"Ah? This..."
Li Chengqian looked at Yun Ye in astonishment, hesitated for a while, and agreed.
After Li Chengqian hurried away, Yun Ye took another step and walked forward.
Just then, a voice fell from a high place and floated into his ears.
"Are you going to distribute flyers?"
"..."
Yun Ye paused, looked up at the top of the palace, and saw the figure in black.
Lin Zhongtian fell from the sky, landed gracefully, looked at Yun Ye's face that seemed calm but was actually angry, and said: "It seems that you already know the fate of Miss Green Bamboo without me saying anything..."
Yun Ye clenched his fists tightly, looking at Lin Zhongtian with red eyes.
"Human wax... was made into human wax!"
"As human beings, why can they do such cruel things?"
Lin Zhongtian said lightly: "Maybe it's because there are no crimes against humanity in this world!"
In this era, there is no such thing as human rights for the lowest class of people.
Civilization only exists among the powerful, and at most benefits a part of the middle class. As for the rest, they are naked exploited.
Yun Ye knew this a long time ago, but he still had a fluke in his heart.
Until just now, when old man Dou calmly said that the Dou family had made the singer into human wax, and Li Yuan and Pei Ji and others beside him didn't care about it, Yun Ye finally saw the cruel reality of this era.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at Yun Ye's expression and said softly: "What do you mean, as long as you say a word, I can rush back to the Dou family now and kill all the Dou family members. No one will escape."
"No!"
Yun Ye shook his head and said firmly: "Killing the Dou family will only make the court afraid of me and the emperor afraid of me. In this way, they will only care about me, not the people of the world. This is not the result I want."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "So, you want to mobilize public opinion and let the court see what it means that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
This is Yun Ye's strategy in the original book!
He spread the petition for the injustice of Green Bamboo Girl all over the world, trying to stir up the sympathy of the people and arouse their anger, so as to achieve the result of using public opinion to destroy the Dou family.
But this approach is too idealistic.
Yun Ye was able to do it in the original story because Li Er secretly helped him.
Once the reputation of the Dou family was ruined, Li Er immediately took action and uprooted all the Dou family businesses in Guanzhong, Longyou, Luoyang, and Hebei.
Otherwise, the Dou family, a behemoth, would never be able to be shaken by the public opinion that was aroused briefly.
Yun Ye's actions would indeed make the powerful and noble feel a little bit of awe for the people, but this awe is still under the imperial power.
Moreover, the thinking of thousands of years will not be changed so easily. The powerful and noble will still eat people, at most they will do better on the surface and act more secretly.
Lin Zhongtian mercilessly analyzed all of Yun Ye's ideas.
After listening to Yun Ye, his face was still expressionless, but his hands were clenched tightly.
"Can you think of a better way?"
Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "With your current conditions, you can't... However, I do have a few ideas that can add icing on the cake, which may shock the powerful and nobles in Chang'an City."
Yun Ye was refreshed and asked quickly: "How to add icing on the cake?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, but did not answer directly. Instead, he looked up and looked at the sky with dark clouds.
"Yun Ye, don't you think the dark clouds in the sky are a bit thick?"
Yun Ye was slightly startled, looked up at the sky, frowned and said: "It's a bit thick, it looks like it's going to rain tonight."
Lin Zhongtian smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully: "Not only will it rain, but there may also be thunder!"
...
...
"Hua La La——"
In the dim night, heavy rain suddenly poured down.
In the Dou family's mansion, old man Dou, who had just returned from the palace, had not yet calmed down his anger from Yun Ye's vicious words, and received a message that something was wrong in the mourning hall.
After hearing the situation reported by the servant, old man Dou suddenly sat up from the low couch and looked at the servant with an angry face.
"What did you say?!"
The servant was frightened and fell to his knees, and quickly repeated: "Reply... reply to the master, the old Liu who was guarding the mourning hall was killed, and Xiao Si was inexplicably knocked unconscious. It seems that someone has sneaked into the young master's mourning hall."
"..."
Old man Dou's face was gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice: "How is the coffin?"
The servant hurriedly said: "Reply to the master, it's still there."
Old man Dou's face eased a little, and he asked again: "Where is the slave?"
The servant hesitated: "Also...still there, but the posture has changed!"
"What?!"
Old man Dou looked surprised and looked at the old servant beside him.
After a little thought, he immediately stood up and decided to go to the mourning hall to take a look.
When they arrived at the mourning hall, Dou Huaiyi, the eldest brother of the Dou family, and Dou Huai'en, the third brother, had already arrived here. The mourning hall was full of people inside and outside. Everyone stood in silence, looking at the figure sitting cross-legged in the mourning hall.
"What's going on?"
Old Dou's angry voice came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads and quickly made way.
Dou Huai'en, the third son of the Dou family, fell to the ground, holding a long knife in his right hand, looking forward with fear.
Hearing Old Dou's voice, he woke up suddenly and crawled to Old Dou's feet.
"Dad, Dad, the mourning hall is haunted!"
"Pah!"
Before he finished speaking, Old Dou slapped Dou Huai'en in the face, pointed at him with trembling fingers, and said angrily: "A man does not talk about strange and chaotic things. Have you read all these decades of books?"
Dou Huai'en covered his face and said in horror: "Dad, I'm not lying, it's true!"
Old Dou froze, then slowly raised his head and looked at the mourning hall.
I saw that beside the coffin, the green bamboo girl who was kneeling on the ground had changed into a cross-legged position at some point.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, hands clasped together, neck slightly lowered, as if chanting in a low voice.
Old man Dou stared at Lvzhu who changed her sitting position with his eyes wide open, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Suddenly, old man Dou pulled out the waist knife of the guard next to him, roared and rushed forward, swung a semicircle, and chopped heavily at the white neck of Lvzhu girl who lowered her head.
His action was so sudden that the people who were distracted by the side didn't react.
Dou Huai'en stared wide-eyed and exclaimed: "Dad, don't!"
"Clang!"
A sound similar to the collision of metal and iron sounded.
Lvzhu girl's body surface burst out with golden light, and the long knife that old man Dou chopped was heavily bounced away.
The rebound force was transmitted to old man Dou, causing the long knife in his hand to fly out, and his already hunched body suddenly fell back to the ground.
Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to help the fallen old man Dou up.
Old man Dou didn't care about the pain in his body. He helped the people around him to get up, pointed at the wax figure with trembling fingers, and swept his eyes over the people around him who also had ugly faces, with a tone of fear and anger.
"What...what's going on?"
"Who knows what's going on?!"
Old man Dou's roar echoed throughout the mourning hall, and everyone looked at each other, unable to answer.
Dou Huai'en smiled bitterly. He also chopped angrily just now, but he couldn't hurt Luzhu either, and was blocked by the golden light.
"Boom boom--"
At this moment, thunder roared outside the mourning hall.
The cold wind mixed with drizzle blew in from the door, blowing up a piece of paper nailed to the coffin.
The people in the mourning hall only then noticed the paper on the coffin, and turned their heads to look at it, only to see sixteen big characters written on the paper:
"The evil thief of the Dou family has lost all conscience. If people don't get rid of him, God will punish him!"
