Every day I want to quit my job and farm

Chapter 108 Power Temptation

What? !Everyone was shocked.Shen Xi frowned, isn't this... the person who did it is too hateful, to be so ruthless.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.In order to prevent any omissions, Shen Xiong asked Dr. Ye to ask for pulses for everyone.Doctor Ye took the pulse of Shen Yu and the others one by one, but did not find out anything wrong.After the pulse diagnosis, Fu Sheng paid the consultation fee and sent Dr. Ye out.

When this happened, no one was in the mood to eat.Shen Xiongcai ordered someone to bring all the servants in the kitchen, and the three brothers interrogated them in person.Shen Hao, Qiao Ke and other juniors were listening, but after asking and asking, no one found any suspicious person.Everyone claims to have nothing to do with themselves.

The general way of asking is that you can't ask anything, Shen Hao pointed to the person in charge of the kitchen and said: "Drag it down and fight."

The guards immediately dragged him to the courtyard, set up a stool and beat him severely.The shrill scream hit the servant kneeling on the ground, fear began to spread.Shen Xi took a sip of tea calmly: "Beat until you faint. Then the next one will come, one by one."

Hearing this, the kneeling people desperately begged for mercy, and someone grabbed and bit the maid who served the dishes.The maids shivered and knelt down, bluntly saying that they didn't know anything.The number of people increased, but Shen Hao still did not change his words.This matter cannot be let go, even if they are not the ones who prescribe the medicine, these servants are also guilty of dereliction of duty.If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Don't try to escape.The punishment continued. After the first person passed out, the second person was dragged along.

Crying, shouting, begging for mercy... Seeing that the stick was getting closer and closer, the desire to survive made them think about everything they could think of.

"Chen's mother... Yes, Chen's mother came to the kitchen today. She was sneaking around in the kitchen, not knowing what to do."

Mother Chen?Shen Xi turned to look at Qiao Ke.Qiao Ke reminded: "Aunt Chen's dowry is also her confidant."

Shen Xiong gave the order: "Go, call someone. Don't disturb the others, just bring Mother Chen."

"Yes." The guard took the order to do the errand.Shen Xi frowned and waved his hand, temporarily stopping the beating.List?Shen Chen?Inside thief?No, it is definitely not an insider who prescribed such a vicious drug.But he doesn't know who the target of the black hand behind the scenes is, so he can't determine its purpose.

At this time, Shen Xi never thought of what kind of sad consequences his momentary negligence would cause.

When it got dark, the general's mansion lit up lanterns.Shen Xiongcai and others sat in the hall with sullen faces and waited, the servants who made mistakes knelt by the door in fear, and the servants on duty did not dare to show their anger.Chen's mother was quickly escorted by the guards, and while struggling, she said: "Uuuuh..."

Chen's mother was escorted into the living room and forced to kneel on the ground.The guard took out the cloth ball from Mother Chen's mouth, stepped back and stood upright.

"Why did you arrest..." Chen's mother raised her head to see Shen Xiongcai's majestic face, she lowered her head and did not dare to act presumptuously.

"Mother Chen." Shen Fenglin smiled, his eyes sharpened, "What are you doing in the kitchen today? Who asked you to do it? Tell me!"

The Shen family is not connected to the General's Mansion, but they are more or less familiar with the people in the General's Mansion.Chen's mother is also the face of Shen Chen's side, so it is not surprising to be able to enter the general's mansion.But why today?Why go to the kitchen?Was it Mother Chen who gave the drug?

"Slave..." Mother Chen cast her eyes everywhere, trying to cover it up, "Slave came to see my cousin. He is in the kitchen..."

"Who is her cousin? Stand up." Shen Xiong said in a deep voice.A fat man stood up tremblingly.

Looking up and seeing Shen Xiong with a dark face, the man quickly knelt down and explained: "The villain is not close to her, this matter has nothing to do with the villain."

Shen Xiong didn't bother to listen to sophistry, so he ordered people to drag the man and Chen's mother down to beat him, and when to tell him when to stop.Mother Chen and the man were beaten to the point of crying. She tried to cover it up, but she had to do it under the cane.Say the whole thing.

According to Chen's mother, Mrs. Shen was dissatisfied with Qiao Ke's housekeeper, and had an accident when discussing with Shen Chen to make Qiao Ke the housekeeper.Therefore, Shen Chen thought about adding medicine to the food, which is the fastest and most direct way to show that there is something wrong with Qiao Ke's housekeeper.

After listening to Mother Chen's words, everyone looked at Mrs. Shen in unison.Mrs. Shen hurriedly explained: "It's not me, I don't."

Unfortunately, no one believed her.Shen Xiongcai directly dealt with Chen's mother and ordered Shen Chen to be punished.The people in the kitchen were also changed, and Mrs. Shen was grounded.After tossing and tossing for a long time, everyone was tired, and Shen Xiong waved his hand to announce the breakup.This is the end of the matter.

He didn't eat dinner, so Shen Xi went to the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles and bring them back to his room.Qiao Ke folded his face in thought: "Does my husband think what Chen's mother said is true? Would my mother really put medicine in the soup to deal with me? You must know that not only I will eat it, but my father will also eat it."

"It's really hard to say." Shen Yu sighed helplessly.In the struggle of women in the backyard, anything is possible.

"I don't think things are that simple." Qiao Ke frowned, "I don't know what's wrong."

"Okay, don't think about it anymore." Shen Hao put the eggs into Qiao Ke's bowl, "It's getting late, let's eat and rest quickly."

"Yeah." Qiao Ke opened his mouth to eat the noodles, still thinking in his mind.What's wrong?Where is it?

This incident seemed to be a small episode, except for the strengthening of martial law in the general's mansion, it did not cause any waves.Time slipped to May, and the fruit smoothies in the store were officially on sale, and the business was good.Shen Xi made it several times for Qiao Ke to taste. Qiao Ke felt uncomfortable after eating, probably not used to it.

The checkers competition also ended not long ago. It is said that Huang Shuyue and Gong Heng fought inextricably in the final.In the end, Huang Shuyue won by one step ahead.This incident caused an uproar. No one thought that the champion of the first checkers game was a woman, which aroused heated discussions.

Qiao Ke did not participate in the competition, he focused on managing the back house.The matter about Chen's mother made him vigilant, because he was not doing well enough.Every day when Shen Xi comes back, he sees Qiao Ke looking at the account book, and today he is dissatisfied with taking it away: "I look at it every day, can you see the flowers?"

With a helpless smile, Qiao Ke got up and changed the official uniform for Shen Hao: "Anyway, I have nothing else to do. See if there is nothing wrong."

Shen Hao changed into casual clothes, poured a cup of tea, sat down and frowned, and said, "The case of Prince Xi came out. Prince Xi was demoted to common people, and his children were punished according to the seriousness of the crime. Zheng Duan was sentenced to beheaded by Qiuhou Wen, and the others were exiled. Dismissal or sufficient corvee."

"The crown prince, the third prince, and the sixth prince all advocate investigation, and the clan will no longer cover up." Qiao Ke sat down and held Shen Yu's hand, "It's not your fault. They themselves are guilty, but you just exposed them. They deserve what they deserve, and they don't have anything to do with you." It's okay. Don't think too much about it."

"That's not what I care about." Shen Xi squeezed Qiao Ke's hand and said worriedly, "I'm really an official, and I can control other people's life and death. The feeling of power in my hands scares me. A word of mine can kill a person, Take someone's life so easily."

The power of life and death shocked Shen Hao, and the bright red blood couldn't be wiped away in front of his eyes.He couldn't help wondering whether every time he did something in the future, more people would die because of it.Human life weighed on him, and he felt like throwing up when he thought that he had killed someone indirectly.

Tonight, Shen Xi is bound to find it difficult to sleep.No matter how much Qiao Ke persuaded him, it would be difficult for him to pass this hurdle.Guilt, guilt, and remorse for being immature.Standing in the breezy corridor, Shen Xi looked at the moon and kept shaking his hands.

The scene of the executioner holding up the knife and falling in his mind kept flashing in his mind, and there was a picture of the head rolling to the ground and blood flowing all over the ground.Once the idea of ​​killing someone comes to mind, it's hard to get rid of it.Shen Xi fell into confusion, how should he fight for his goal in the future?

Unable to solve the knot, Shen Yu is depressed.Until that day when he met Master Kong in the Ministry of Punishment, he was slightly surprised: "Master Kong?"

Lord Kong clasped his fists and saluted: "At this time, I am not an official, but a common people to thank Lord Shen. Thank you Lord Shen for avenging the people's grievances and letting the wicked go to death. Without Lord Shen, I don't know how many more injustice cases will happen, and how many wronged souls will not be able to appeal .”

"Actually...you don't need to thank me." Shen Xi lowered her eyes.Because he is not avenging the people, he is just doing it for himself.

"Thank you." Master Kong bowed deeply, "I thank you for the people who died, and thank you for their relatives."

Hesitating to speak but stopped, Shen Xi pursed his lips, why?He didn't mean to be like that, he wasn't that great, he really only cared about himself.He is so selfish that he wants to use others as stepping stones to achieve his goals. Even if he doesn't want to kill people, many people will die because of it.a lot of blood...

"Since then, Mr. Shen has been my role model for being an official." Mr. Kong's eyes are firm, "Don't care about personal gains and losses, and serve the country and the people."

No...he's not...Shen Xi frowned and sighed: "Why do you think I don't care about personal gains and losses? Have you ever thought about what my real purpose is? Maybe I just use them as stepping stones. You are pawns."

"It doesn't matter." Master Kong remained unwavering, "Even though Master Shen treats us as pawns, it is our honor to do our part for Master Shen's promotion. No matter what Master Shen's real purpose is, there is nothing wrong with avenging the people's grievances. You can't go wrong with a petition."

"Even if I bully the people and do evil in the future, do you think so?" Shen Yu covered his painful head, "I'm not as great as you imagined. I do everything for myself. I'm not a good official. I'm not a good official. won't be an official."

Master Kong didn't know why Shen Hao was distressed. He felt that Shen Hao was a bit stubborn: "No one is born to do something. I don't know how to be an official, but I am still an official. I am not a good official, because I have no Courage does many things. Whether you use it or use it sincerely, the result will not change, Mr. Shen. Can't you hear the voices of the people? Can't you see the smiles of the people?"

Stunned, Shen Xi looked at Master Kong.The laughter and heartfelt voices of the people?I think of the friendliness of the people when playing checkers in the store, the kind of heartfelt laughter and respect.What did he do?Actually did nothing.He's just working hard for his goals...

In modern times, Shen Xi is an ordinary person.Bad guys are caught by the police and sentenced by judges, so far away from him.Now he has become an official, an official who holds the power of life and death.It is impossible for him to shirk responsibility all the time, because he has a long way to go before resigning, because he is now an official.He had never thought about what kind of official he would be. He was very casual and would do whatever he wanted.

But this is not feasible for an official, and an official cannot be casual.Possess power, but also bear responsibility, the greater the official, the greater the power.Life and death, what a temptation of power.Once you feel it, how many people can resist it?But Shen Hao only felt fear.

Fear of being swallowed by power, fear of losing oneself, fear of forgetting what is most important to oneself.This fear made him confused and made him doubt himself.Lifting his eyes slightly, he smiled deeply: "Master Kong is right, the result will not change."

What is there to be afraid of?The result already exists.Shen Hao smiled and turned to leave, Master Kong bowed respectfully to Shen Hao's back.

[The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_The greater the power, the easier it is to lose your heart, and sometimes even a fool can’t figure it out, hahahaha]
