The yellow-clothed rebel army was just a mob, and the rebellion was short-lived and had not developed at all.
At the beginning of the battle with the Jingnan Army, they already showed signs of being invincible.
After a few days of fighting, the main force of the yellow-clothed rebel army was defeated, and the other units dispersed and fled.
So the Jingnan army dispersed to pursue the fleeing enemies, and by the way, they wiped out the "collaborating with the enemy and rebellious people".
So Wei Zeng encountered many rebel troops and Jingnan sergeants along the way.
Fortunately, Wei Zeng and the others were not inconspicuous, and they did not attract a large army.
The journey was uneventful.
On this day, when we arrived at the junction of Yanbei and Xuhuai, we were about to get out of the range of the yellow-clad rebels.
The scene we saw was no longer as miserable as in the four counties, but there were still sporadic rebels and soldiers.
Sergeant Jingnan appears.
Wei Zeng and the others planned to pass through Xuhuai and then transfer to Anyun, and should reach the capital before September.
On this day, when the three of them were walking, a group of rebels appeared in front of them.
Seeing that Wei Zeng and the others were alone, this group of rebels wanted to coerce Wei Zeng into joining the rebel army.
Wei Zeng and the others had encountered many such things along the way.
After killing the leading man in yellow, the rebel army dispersed like birds and beasts.
Maybe there was too much noise in the fighting, maybe there was a group of sergeants chasing this group of rebels, and the Jingnan Army arrived here not long after.
Wei Zeng knew that the Jingnan Army was stationed nearby and it was unwise to entangle with the Jingnan Army, so he hid in the wasteland and bushes.
When the three of them walked close to the road in the grass, they saw five Jingnan soldiers surrounding a middle-aged scribe.
This middle-aged scholar was carrying a bag, and although the clothes on his body were shabby, his face and eyes were full of righteousness, and he was not afraid of the five sergeants holding swords and guns with fierce looks.
"Why do you want to kill these pedestrians?
They are just passing by here and are obviously not rebels.
You are soldiers of the imperial court.
How are you acting like this any different from bandits?"
The scribe pointed at several corpses on the ground and asked several sergeants.
"Damn, it's really unlucky.
I just killed a few people, and you came here, Luo Luo.
When the others saw Grandpa, I couldn't run away, and you still dared to come.
It's really impatient for the old man to hang himself.
The captain slashed with his knife.
He got it," one sergeant said.
"Commander Wu, don't be like this.
This man looks like a scholar at first glance.
It is very ominous to kill a scholar.
This man looks like he is not afraid of heaven or earth.
Either he has fame or a very tough background.
I'm afraid there will be trouble if you kill him," another sergeant quickly advised.
"You're so poor, you don't have much to gain at first glance.
I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare your life and get out of here."
After hearing what the person said, the team leader didn't want to cause more trouble, so he scolded the person and left immediately.
"You people are really lawless.
You treat the king's law like this.
The sky is clear, the sky is clear.
I will definitely find you and other officials to explain this situation.
I don't believe it.
There is no one in this dynasty.

Legalist Fu Shi, please seek justice for this injustice."
Seeing that these five people had no intention of repenting, the scribe said even more angrily.
"Although I couldn't understand nine out of ten sentences that the corps commander said, I still understood that he wanted to tell our officers and punish us for our crimes.
Although killing a few passers-by is not a big deal, it is If we let him stab us, we won't be able to save face, and it will inevitably lead to our sins, and then we are really in trouble," a sergeant said to the corps leader.
"Damn, you are so shameless.
Do you really think we are afraid of him?
I don't think there is anyone here.
Let's chop him down and others won't know it was us."
Another sergeant said.
"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you break in.
I think you are a scholar and don't want to cause more trouble, but this trouble has come to us and we have to deal with it.
I think this person is a collaborator and thief.
Come on, brothers, finish him off for me," the corps commander said viciously.
Then the caller will kill the scholar.
"You really have no conscience at all.
Don't you have any conscience at all?
You are simply not human, you are simply an animal."
Seeing the crowd approaching, the scribe couldn't help but take a few steps back, but he still couldn't help scolding.
When Wei Zeng saw the scribe talking like this, he thought of the old scholar who had taught him for several years, and how he had also promoted writing in class, criticizing social injustice and the lack of clarity in the court.
But it's a bit unrealistic for him to be like this in front of swords and guns.
"Perhaps all scholars in the world are the same, some are bold and some are timid."
Wei Zeng thought.
Seeing that the scribe was about to be killed, Wei Zeng sighed, fired a javelin, and then rushed out with a shield and staff.
Gu Chayi followed Wei Zeng to kill all the soldiers, while Wei Zhen held a short sword to protect the middle-aged scribe.
In the sneak attack, two sergeants were killed in one go.
After a few more rounds of fighting, all the sergeants fell to the ground and died.
The middle-aged scribe was also stunned when he saw the two men rushing out and killing five sergeants with lightning speed.
When Wei Zeng and the others came over to him after finishing the battle, he just kept sighing and said: "Why is it like this?
Why is it like this?
The sage has a saying: Killing people without teaching is called disregarding the people.
For these evildoers, also He should be warned first, and if he refuses to repent, his uniform should be handed over to the local magistrate for punishment.
Such killing is not the work of a wise man."
"You are really a person.
These people want to kill you, but you still speak for them; when we save you, you still have to scold us.
Do you know any sense?"
Gucha responded as soon as he heard this.
"Sir, you are very righteous, and you have a sense of compassion for these evildoers.
But you have also seen that these people not only do not want to repent, but also plot to kill you.
Such evil people really deserve to be killed.
You have also seen that there are few people like me. , the opponent has a large number of people, if there is no killer, what will happen?
How can we defeat them, let alone subdue them?
If we show mercy, we will follow in the footsteps of those passers-by, and we have no choice but to do so."
Wei Zhen explained to the scribe. , then pointed to the killed passers-by and said.
"I know that's true, but it's just five lives, that's all."
Although the scribe said this, there was still a look of regret on his face, but he still bowed to the three of them and thanked them: "Anyway, thank you very much.

The grace of these three people for saving my life.
If I hadn’t saved my life, I would have been a dead body on the roadside.
I will remember the kindness of these three people.”
Wei Zeng also knew that this scribe was motivated by book business.
If Wei Zeng had been like Wei Zhen in the past, he would have talked it out, but now that the hatred between the country and the family was just yesterday, it was really difficult for Wei Zeng to sympathize with the Jingnan Army and the Yellow Clothes Rebellion Army.
The scribe just handed over his hand, said goodbye and continued on his way.
"Sir, I think you are going to Yanbei.
We have just come from Yanbei.
At this time, Yanbei is not safe.
The Jingnan Army and the Yellow Cloth Rebellion Army are causing harm to all sides.
Sir, it is better not to go.
Let's rest in the land of Xuhuai first.
A few days will be good."
When Wei Zhen saw that Wei Zeng was about to leave, he quickly said a few words to the scribe and chased after Wei Zeng.
After hearing this, the middle-aged scribe also knew that Yan Bei had no choice but to go, so he followed Wei Zeng and the other two people towards Xu Huai.
I also talked with the three people along the way, of course, Verity was mainly the one who answered the questions.
Wei Zeng was in a bad mood and had no intention of talking to others.
After Gu Cha said a few words, it was really difficult to deal with it, so he just listened and said nothing.
The middle-aged scribe saw that Wei Zeng had been silent, and there was sadness and anger in his eyebrows.
Hearing Wei Zhen say that Wei Zeng was from Yanbei, and thinking of the troubles in Yanbei, the middle-aged scribe stepped forward and said to Wei Zeng.
"Why did the righteous man say nothing?
Is it because he was disdainful of Qi's words?
Qi was also a pedantic person.
It doesn't make sense."
The middle-aged scribe said to Wei Zeng.
"No, sir, I admire your righteousness very much.
It's just that I'm not good at talking."
Wei Zeng just responded lightly.
"Hey, Qi doesn't know what a righteous man means.
I, Qi, have lived a long time, and have traveled in this world for several years.
I am also a person who has seen things.
How can I be that just a fledgling who can only The scholar who talks about morality was intolerant of evil when he was young.
He always wanted to see through the evil in the world with his sharp eyes.
Expose it and make it obvious to the world.
However, after reading too many books and seeing too many things, I discovered that things in this world are by no means as simple as I thought, nor can they be explained clearly in terms of good and evil.
Yes.
Some people advocate killing to stop violence, but retribution only adds a lot of killing out of thin air, but the word good and evil has long been lost.
When I was young, I also laughed at those who advocated doing good to evil people and scorned their words.
But after experiencing so many things, I became somewhat enlightened.
In troubled times, the world is a cauldron and everything is suffering. , in this calamity, who can escape the act of advocating doing good to evil people, hoping that evil people can repent is just a On the other hand, this is only for people; for me, I just want to use my own kindness to bring a ray of light to this dark world, and I want to shine through the universe with my own candlelight. , that is a foolish dream; it is just that we are not willing to let darkness and evil spread in the world, leaving a little thought for people to prevent them from completely sinking. " "Sir's words are truly wise.
I have learned from you."
After hearing these words, Wei Zeng finally looked at the middle-aged scribe for the first time.
I saw that although this scribe was dressed simply, he was very neat from head to toe.
Although he looked dusty, there was energy and vitality in his eyebrows that could not be concealed.
His face was vicissitudes of life, but it did not give people the feeling of oldness, but It is a kind of sadness combined with wisdom and compassion.

"I have seen a lot of people myself, and I am pretty accurate about judging people.
When I look at the righteous man's face, he must be a knight who hates evil as much as he hates evil; when I look at the sadness and anger in the eyes of the righteous man, I think he has experienced something that is unbearable for ordinary people.
A righteous man is also a sensible person, I shouldn't have done more.
What can I say, but I still want to say to the righteous people that good and evil are often intertwined in this world, and good can turn into evil, and evil can turn into good.
Many people do not do evil with all their heart.
Forced by life, some people are forced to do so by strong men.
To generalize these people and kill them all without distinction will lead to cruelty.
Those who have a good heart should be given a way to make a new beginning.
There are also good people in this world who often have great temperaments after great changes.
Change and fall into the path of evil, but these people are evil without knowing it.
When these people repent, they are too deep to extricate themselves.
I hope the righteous people in the future can remember what Qi said today. , Mr.
Qi will be extremely grateful."
After saying this, the middle-aged scribe bowed to Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng was shocked when he heard this.
I thought to myself: "Have I really lost myself in hatred?
The hatred is manifested outwardly.
Only when this scholar saw it did I let him speak like this."
"Xiao Liu'er, you must respect yourself and love yourself as a human being, and don't look down on yourself."
His mother's last words echoed in Wei Zeng's heart again.
Wei Zeng joined the middle-aged scribe and said quickly: "I will remember the words of the teacher.
I will definitely follow the instructions of the teacher."
This middle-aged scribe named Qi Weilun was born in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
He was fond of poetry and calligraphy since he was a child, and he also had the ambition to manage the world and govern the country.
However, after failing in the imperial examinations many times, he lost his ambition to be an official as time went by.
However, he has been a scholar since he was a child, and he likes to talk about everything.
He also deeply believes in the morality and etiquette mentioned by the saints and sages, and the debate between good and evil in human nature, and he has always been committed to his own practice.
After failing in the imperial examination, he followed the example of the sages and traveled around the world, increasing his knowledge and practicing the words of the sages.
This journey lasted for more than twenty years.
During this journey, he saw too many things about right and wrong, good and evil.
He was disappointed, confused, and enlightened.
But he persisted and maintained the spirit of his youth.
Others travel to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but he travels to pursue the truth.
So others went home when they were tired of playing; he didn't find the result he wanted, so he kept drifting.
This time he heard about the Yanbei Rebellion in Xuhuai, but he heard that the Jingnan Army had defeated the rebel army.
He thought that the matter was over and peace had returned to Yanbei, so he embarked on the road to Yanbei.
I didn't expect to encounter that kind of thing.
Wei Zeng and Qi Weilun broke up when they arrived in a small town.
Wei Zeng and the others continued on the road to Anyun.
Qi Weilun said that since Yanbei could not go, he would go to Yaodong for a tour.
The folk customs of Yaodong were open and there were many customs different from those in China.
When he was young, he had seen these.
Just in time to revisit it
