The Spirit World

Chapter 698 Ordinary People
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the ability to stop Locke. I don't have any personal grudge against him. I won't resort to lynching out of personal grudges."

Chang Yufeng sighed and continued speaking to the former city lord.

“You may not understand who I am, but even if I can get out of here, I can’t help anyone defeat Loken. I mean, as far as my personal vendetta is concerned. I can’t do that. Just like you said, I am not involved in any conflict of interest with them. Maybe I am not sure whether there is any conflict of interest, but for now, I am innocent with them.”

Chang Yufeng's whole body began to emit a faint golden light, which was like a little firefly illuminating this smelly cell.

Sorry, maybe the ones in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are called prison cells, this place just looks like a dirty and smelly hell.

"I think you have figured it out. There are not that many heroes in this world. Or rather, it is not yet your turn to be a knight. Keeping yourself safe is the wisest choice."

The former city lord had his hair tied up in a loose knot. To be honest, no one would think that this outfit could match the city lord. Lord Longxu had been in Wenti County for six years. The reason why Lord Longxu came to Wenti County was because the former city lord had disappeared for three years and had not made any reports to the higher-ups. He was in office during the two years when Locke's Longxing Society was the most arrogant.

Don't talk about being in cahoots with each other, at least they are no longer in the same boat, otherwise they wouldn't be thrown into jail - Locke's private prison.

Chang Yufeng is just an ordinary person. He has parents, a younger sister, and even a relative who is looking for him. There is no possibility that someone would drag him into trouble.

Therefore, Chang Yufeng was ready to take a step back in dealing with this matter. He was no longer a mortal, and he would not be restricted by anything. Even if he wanted to leave this cell, he could enter the Three Thousand Palaces and escape from here.

But then he thought, if he escaped, what would happen to Lin'er? What would happen to his parents? Or what would happen to the countless victims that Locke would have to face next?
The root of this matter comes from the legal fairness of the pornography and gambling industries in Wenti County. Others have not violated the law at all. Even those engaged in the pornography and gambling industries do not have the same legal supervision measures, and even face obstacles in legislation.

You insist on accusing them of such a serious crime as human trafficking. Historically, in big cities like Wenti County, the protection for outsiders is not as great as imagined. In addition, in the eyes of those who were bought, there are even two extreme situations. There are even two factions, those who support Locke and those who want to overthrow Locke. Their human trafficking is illegal, but there is no law to control it because they are the product of the gold guarantee system.

Locke produced a contract of sale, and the law had no choice but to side with Locke, which would make the originally vague population definition a certainty, giving Locke even more reason to exploit...

To be honest, this kind of company system that only modern people can think of has made the spiritual world, which originally focuses on magic and has not very perfect other related systems and laws - no one has ever thought about why someone would do this - this company system is too advanced and is protected by laws. It makes no sense to want to overthrow it on the basis of personal grudges.

Well, this kind of personal revenge does not exist for Chang Yufeng alone. No one can take personal revenge casually. If everyone in this world can take personal revenge without scruples, what a terrible world it would be?
If you can take revenge on others just because of your personal likes and dislikes, then what is the point of having laws? Even the law may not be able to truly protect the victims, let alone allow you to perform actions that are comparable to knights.

If he did it, what's the difference between him and a bad guy like Loken? If the chivalrous people's robbing the rich to help the poor are not protected by the law, then robbing the rich to help the poor is just a private revenge. Moreover, not everyone's wealth is obtained illegally...

Since the current laws cannot control Locke, it is too abrupt to hope that Yu Changyufeng can control Locke, and there is no formal logic to support it.

Even if Chang Yufeng wanted to save people, what to do with the rescued people would be a very troublesome thing. Even if he saved them, he had no way to take care of them and no way to give them any chance of survival. Imagine that they still needed to rely on relief to survive and still needed to sell their bodies to live.

Even if one or two people can find a good family, or one or two people can find a way to make a living, can everyone do it?
How can there be such simple truths in this world?
It's like putting my own morality at the highest level, and telling them, I'm here to save you from the dire straits, and then you can go live your own lives. If you can't support yourself, beg on the street, or live a life worse than pigs and dogs again, I can only say that it's no longer my problem...

I only care about saving you, not your life...

Wenti County is... people working in the sex and gambling industries in the Red Flower District of Locke. They really should have no parents to rely on, or they should be rescued from disaster areas... Don't talk about dignity, face, shame... Some people just can't talk about this. If they want to survive after being rescued, what can quickly get them money to survive?
There is no such thing as a permanent solution in this world. Can everyone live a good life through this rescue?

It certainly won't work if you rely on yourself.

If there had not been the help from Longxugong, all that would have been left in this world would have been nothing more than using money to help beggars. Wouldn't there be a shortage of beggars in this world?

Of course there is no shortage. What is lacking is a job that can provide beggars with a stable life, or even a guarantee in a society where people rely on each other. Beggars don't even have a bed. It's understandable to ask them to give you some money, but to want to provide them with a job... that's simply crazy...

How much kindness would it take to give a beggar a decent job? It's not that there are none, but... there are too few, so few that you can only see them in novels...

If you say forcing women of good character into prostitution, no one will disagree, but if you want to force prostitutes to be good people, you will more or less have a bit of cerebral palsy.

It is ridiculous to not think about the causes and consequences and just think about solving the problem of Locke. If it could be so easy and the former city lord knew everything, couldn't he do it?

Lord Longxu has higher prestige than anyone else. Wouldn't it be more effective to just expose Locke's past and then fight him to the death?
Is it a solution that even a fool can think of feasible?
How is it possible? It's just like Locke said... this mess of his... whoever touches it will have his hands dirty, and he might even become exhausted and sacrifice the lives of all his loved ones, ending up in a miserable state.

If Locke is really easy to deal with... is it Chang Yufeng's turn to deal with him? He has no conflicts of interest with Locke. Those who have conflicts of interest with Locke, will they just watch everyone come to overthrow Locke?
You, a little kid selling handicrafts in Wenti County, can you really fight against the three families in Wenti County? All the chambers of commerce?
There are hundreds or thousands of them, and if each of them punches you, Chang Yufeng might not be able to withstand it.

Being a knight requires the courage to flee to the ends of the earth... and they didn't break any law... You can just use any righteous and high-sounding reasons to take revenge...

Are you a killer? Are you an assassin? Who are you hired by? What is your purpose? How much benefit did you get? Where did you hide these benefits? Did your family get involved? Do you want to challenge the law? Do you want to...

Who can endure this?

Although Chang Yufeng thought a lot, if something really happened to him, it would be more trouble than gain...

It's like stepping on dog shit. You know which dog it is, but you can't scold the dog because you stepped on it without eyes... But if you scold its owner for having no sense of public morality and letting the dog defecate randomly... you might be crazy...

Because dogs are not people... How can you reason with a dog? How can you expect the dog's owner to stop the dog from defecating...

Maybe only a mentally ill person would think like this...

But honestly…

If there is no way to solve the problem, then get rid of the person who raised the problem... This is the most common and widely used self-deception in the world... It is undeniable that it is sometimes really useful...

So how should we solve the problem we are discussing here?
1. Loken must be eliminated... 2. The Longxing Society model should also be eliminated...

3: No matter how big the conflicts of interest are involved in the Legislative Yuan, pornography and gambling should be included in the law.

The first problem is not that difficult. It is easy to get rid of Locke, the person who caused this problem. Anyway, we don’t need to deal with his problem, we just need to get rid of him...

The second question is difficult, because Longxinghui is a real chamber of commerce that does not have many illegal and disorderly behaviors... Its system of using money instead of guarantee has supported and even made many people happy. It is impossible to suddenly eliminate this system. Moreover, the system of using money instead of guarantee is... a modern company system... Modern people cannot solve it, and it is too much for me to solve it... Unless everyone dies, forgets the system of using money instead of guarantee, and then lets everyone return to primitive life, otherwise this employment system... should always exist and exploit generations of people... It is not surprising that Longxinghui will last forever...

The third problem is even more difficult... Fighting with all the conflicting interests is like walking into a tiger's den... You have to be smart...

The only people who rely on passion and don't care about anything behind them... I'm afraid they are just children... For example, children whose minds are not yet mature... They may look at passion and force and make moral criticisms: knock down Loken, rescue everyone, and then everything will be fine, just pat your butt and leave - this is not an irrational question that will be made after discussing it for so long...

Suddenly I remembered that King Fuchai of Wu did not kill King Goujian of Yue, which led to Goujian sleeping on firewood and tasting gall. With only 3,000 Yue soldiers, he was able to conquer Wu. This really provided a basic negative example for those in this world who do not cut the grass at its roots.

If he killed Locke, he would not only need to kill Locke, but also anyone who supported Locke, Alvin, Katutan, all the people inside Longxing Society who were happy and lived a happy life, even those who had been rescued by Locke and needed to rely on Locke's Red Flower District to survive. He would cut off their jobs... They must also be killed... He even needed to kill some people who had beneficial connections with Locke. The former city lord had already made it clear that there must be some conflict of interest between the Legislative Yuan and the other three families... He also needed to kill them?
If he didn't kill them, even if someone killed his family with a magic bullet on the street one day, he wouldn't know where it happened...

Huh... So there are such complicated things in this world?

Do not……

The world itself is much more complicated than this...

But there is one situation where these things are not complicated at all...

That is……

When there is nothing to think about here, what kind of time is it? When there is no way for me to kill Loken...

I can't even take the first step, but I still want to kill so many people who are related to Locke?

If you don't have the strength of the King of Tianyu Renxin... what else do you want... just lie down and let Locke slaughter you...

Just like the skeleton of a child crawling with maggots next to me... He starved to death here, and then no one came to collect his body...

It turns out that I was thinking about this matter from God’s perspective…

What about revenge, personal vendetta...Locken...the Legislative Yuan...Longxing Society...are they really what he can think of?

Hahahaha...it turns out that I still can't get rid of this horrible, God-like, stupid way of thinking.

Now, what should I think about?
It’s Lin’er!
idiot!

What do you need to think about now?
Lin'er!
Now Lin'er is still dealing with the old devil Locke. In the struggle, Lin'er will definitely fight to the death with Locke.

My attention should be on Lin'er, Lin'er is my selfish concern... not any trafficked women and their livelihoods after being rescued...

They naturally have their own way of living... If you think that they can't survive after being rescued, then you really underestimate them...

In the face of great disasters, they did not resolutely choose to die. Why do you worry about them?
Haha... sometimes this kind of thinking does not make me smarter, and it may even put me into shackles.

This kind of thinking ability is very good, but you should not be too rigid... or you should be too eager to do the best and worry too much, so you will be cautious and have no idea where to start...

I just need to follow Lin'er... Lin'er might be in danger now... Why am I still trying to rescue others?

"Little kid, why are you laughing?" The former city lord saw Chang Yufeng sneering. He didn't know that Chang Yufeng was mocking himself. He thought that Chang Yufeng had figured out how to deal with Loken. He leaned over and asked, "What good idea have you come up with?"

"What?" Chang Yufeng came back to his senses and looked at the expectant dirty face of the former city lord.

"Why are you smiling so brightly?"

"Me? I'm just laughing at my own stupidity..."

"Oh……"

The former city lord slowly turned around.

Chang Yufeng retracted the golden light on his body, stood up, patted his clothes, and shook off the maggots on them.

"However, I don't know if there is a good solution... But even if there is no solution now, there will definitely be a solution in the future... Have you heard of it? It's not that I won't take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet."

This kind of thinking ability is very important, so I wrote for a long time...
