Chapter 639: Chapter 307: Luo Ping was dumbfounded_2
Therefore, Luo Ping did not take this matter to heart.
But now, upon reflection,
he faintly sensed something amiss.
“Could it be that Luo Ze, that little rascal, and Luo Yao planned this together?”
The more he thought about it,
the more Luo Ping felt that this was indeed the case.
However, helplessly,
he had no concrete evidence.
Moreover, this matter wasn’t particularly important.
Therefore, the issue had to be left unresolved.
“Forget it.”
“Deal with government affairs, deal with government affairs.”

“Today is a rest day, those people are not around.”
“If Luo Yao and those strategists were here, I would definitely need to have a good talk with them.”
At least a superficial lesson in manners was necessary.
As for the outcome…
He, Luo Ping, could not manage so much.
It was the same old saying, in this world, as long as there were people or living beings,
there had never been any fairness or justice.
The so-called fairness, and justice,
were merely tools used by the strong to bind the weak.
Even if fairness and justice did exist,
they were only relative.
Absolute fairness and justice, that certainly did not exist.
…
Before long,
noon had arrived.
At this moment, a blazing sun hung high in the sky.
The scorching sunlight relentlessly shone down upon this vast land,
causing the outdoor temperature to hastily climb.
Making the earth feel like a giant steamer,
the heat becoming almost unbearable for many.
However, what is described here is only the situation outside Qingshi City.
Inside Qingshi City, and outside Qingshi City,
were completely different worlds.
Even Qingshi City’s outer city was still as such.
“Hey, Er Gou, how come all of a sudden, so many people want to enter our Qingshi City?”
“Even during wars in the past, it seems we’ve never seen such a scene…”
In Qingshi City,
on a bustling street near the city gate,
a middle-aged bachelor,
was at that moment asking a scrawny man about 1.6 meters tall, who looked somewhat sleazy,
frowning slightly as he inquired in a low voice.
“You don’t know huh?”
The sleazy man known as Er Gou, upon hearing his friend’s words, smiled slightly and then somewhat proudly and smugly said, “Nowadays, with the war breaking out, the Great Flame Dynasty, our Qingshi City’s Luo Family, and the White Brahma Temple inside White Lotus Prefecture have gone to war. Inside the territories of the Great Flame Dynasty, chaos abounds, a large number of common folk have chosen to become bandits, and even more have taken up arms in rebellion.”
“Although, these events do not affect the Royal Yan Family in the least.”
“However, for us commoners, it ultimately has a huge impact.”
“Thus, the commoners, the wealthy merchants, and even those noble cultivators within the Great Flame Dynasty are all fleeing.”
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Er Gou beside him, speaking softly, “Just because of that, why are so many people flocking to our Qingshi City?”
“There are other places of peace, not just our Qingshi City, right?”
Er Gou grinned sleazily and then continued to reply, “You don’t understand, you don’t understand.”
“You’re right, there are certainly other places of peace, not just our Qingshi City.”
“But, the only place where absolute fairness and justice exist is right here in our Qingshi City.”
“Even the other cities controlled by the Luo Family certainly cannot achieve this.”
“Besides, look at those people lining up outside.”
“Do you notice anything different about them?”
The middle-aged man looked at the people in line outside, furrowed his brows, pondered for a long time but still couldn’t come up with any answer: “Different? What’s different?”
“You’re saying it’s different, could it be that we are inside Qingshi City while they are outside?”
Er Gouzi smiled faintly, making a somewhat pretentious show of straightening his collar.
Only then did he give an answer.
“Sweat.”
“Those people outside, the sweat on their faces, on their foreheads, didn’t you see it?”
The middle-aged man heard this, and then he hurriedly looked out at those people’s faces.
Indeed, on the faces of those who were lining up,
it seemed beads of sweat had already formed.
Not a single person was an exception.
Even those who wore fine silks and satins, their cheeks and bodies were still covered with beads of sweat.
Even if they wiped it away time and again, it would soon reappear.
“Besides the peace I just mentioned, and the absolute justice.”
“There’s also the comfort of an eternal spring.”
“This is what those places outside lack.”
“So, you see…”
At that point,
Er Gouzi did not continue.
After hearing these words, the middle-aged man seemed to gradually understand.
Why the Qingshi City he lived in,
was so popular.
“What you said is all correct.”
“However, isn’t this ‘absolute justice’ a bit too much of an exaggeration?”
The middle-aged man cast a sidelong glance at Er Gouzi next to him.
It seemed he was trying to regain some face from this so-called ‘absolute justice’.
“Absolute justice, I didn’t say anything wrong,”
Er Gouzi pursed his lips and then said, “As long as we don’t provoke those from the Luo Family, isn’t what’s implemented inside Qingshi City considered absolute justice and fairness?”
“At that time, the law is above all else.”
“I remember, not long ago, wasn’t there a young master who was up to no good nearby, relying on his father’s advanced cultivation?”
“That young master hadn’t been arrogant for long,”
“before he was directly caught and sent to prison for reformation.”
“Now that the young master has been released from prison, ask him, does he dare to be as presumptuous as before?”
“And then there’s the Dong Family within the inner city of Qingshi City.”
“How venerable was the Dong Family at the beginning?”
“In the end, Dong Liang, the son of the current family head of the Dong Family, lost his life because of his own actions.”
“And the position of the family head of the Dong Family was directly replaced.”
“Tell me, isn’t this absolute fairness and justice?”
“Of course, if you are stubborn and insist on provoking those lofty people from the Luo Family,”
“then I have nothing to say.”
…
As Er Gouzi’s words echoed,
after slowly reverberating in the ears of the middle-aged man,
he fell quiet for a moment.
Indeed, Er Gouzi was right.
As long as one did not provoke those noble and lofty people from the Luo Family,
justice and fairness were absolute.
The law was supreme.
Also, the comfort of having four seasons like spring,
truly, it was unmatched by any other place.
“And there’s more…”
Seeing that his friend by his side seemed to have lowered his head slightly, lost in thought,
Er Gouzi smirked somewhat slyly.
He moved next to his buddy,
and whispered in his ear, “Another point is, those of us with the status of residents within Qingshi City are actually quite popular outside.”
“At that time, if you want to find a wife, you only need to lift a finger, and countless good-looking girls will throw themselves into your arms.”
Er Gouzi’s words, tinged with a touch of lechery, still echoed in the middle-aged man’s ears.
Just as the middle-aged man was about to retort something,
he saw a woman with the delicate air of the girl next door approaching towards where Er Gouzi was.
