Chapter 325 The Victim Is Not Guilty
Not only did she not believe it, but even the old officials thought it was a ghost. After all, the bandits were well-known for shooting and looting, so it was impossible for them to have only such a small amount of silver...
The unwilling local official decided to dig deep underground to find the gold, silver and jewelry, and immediately ordered his men to do it.
When Ji Xingle saw those who were rescued, they were thin, hungry, and in tatters, so he asked them how they dealt with the abducted men.
The magistrates made tentative inquiries;
"Does Master Ji have any suggestions?"
This is their country's business, if they can be kind to the poor people, Ji Xingle doesn't want to get involved in this matter, so he explained;
"No, this is the first time I've encountered something like this, so I want to ask you how you handled it. If possible, I'd like to learn from you."
Hearing this, the local official looked embarrassed, and said with disdain as he glanced at them;
"People like them usually have no place in their homes unless their family members come to look for them.
You asked me how to deal with it. To be honest, I don’t know how to deal with it either…”
The meaning is very clear. She doesn't want to care and just wants them to fend for themselves. If they are sensible, they should choose to commit suicide instead of living shamelessly in the world and wasting resources.
The Third Princess and the others obviously disagreed with this statement, but seeing that some of them looked lifeless and had no desire to live, they did not say much.
Ji Xingle clenched his fists, a little annoyed, but suppressed his anger, walked to the victim and asked;
"Do you want to live?"
Hearing this, they looked at Ji Xingle with dead eyes. A glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes, but when they thought of their experience, they shook their heads dejectedly.
How could they deserve to live after what they had gone through? They were covered in stains, and those people could drown them with just a mouthful of spit.
Rather than being criticized and living a life worse than death, it is better to just die.
Ji Xingle saw the flash of hope in their eyes, then he sighed and encouraged them;
"It's not your fault that this happened. The fault lies with the person who did the bad thing. Don't take the blame on yourself and punish yourself.
It is the perpetrators who should be damned, not you..."
[It's not their fault. They are not wrong. It's the perpetrators who are wrong. 】
This sentence kept repeating in their minds. In an instant, they were as silent as death. They all held their heads and cried loudly, as if they wanted to cry out the grievances in their hearts...
This scene made most people feel uncomfortable, and a few people rolled their eyes and made sarcastic remarks, but Ji Xingle ignored them all, after all, the mouth was on someone else's body.
Moreover, their thoughts were old-fashioned and unreasonable. Since she couldn't change other people's ideas, she would try her best to save those who wanted to live.
The victims are not at fault, they should not give up their lives easily, this situation will only make the enemies happy and the loved ones sad...
Therefore, only by letting go of hatred and living freely can you make those gossipy husbands angry to death.
alive?
These two words were too heavy for them. They were still hesitating when Ji Xingle told them that she had a fiefdom at the border between Phoenix Country and Xianfan Country.
She said that if they were worried about having nowhere to go, they could go live with her, and if they minded,
We can give them new identities to ensure that there won't be gossipers among them...
Hearing this, they were very excited. Some of them said they wanted to go, but some who had given birth...
They regard children as a disgrace. Some of them don't want children, while others, if their children agree with them, want to take them away.
Ji Xingle would not interfere in these things. He just thought about how to arrange the children. After explaining their identities and travel permits to the local officials, he left some guards to look after these poor people.
And those assimilated men cursed at the dozens of people who were leaving, calling them ungrateful, ungrateful, and heartless...
Ji Xingle felt that those people were beyond saving and did not want to stay here any longer. Instead, he and the Third Princess and several others said goodbye to the local officials and left the bandit’s lair.
Before leaving, Ji Xingle spoke earnestly to the local official:
"If you can't find those material possessions, don't look for them. Don't waste your time and energy."
Upon hearing this, the local official agreed without hesitation and enthusiastically watched Ji Xingle and his companions leave.
After Ji Xingle and his men left, he wrote to her superior, asking her to lend him more people to dig. As for what Ji Xingle said,
She just farted...
After all, that is money that can't be spent in a lifetime. Only a fool would listen to her.
---
Fang Tingting had already been taken to the carriage at the foot of the mountain by the guards. After being frightened all night and being drugged by Ji Xingle, she was now very weak and fell asleep again.
......
A few days later, Ji Xingle received a letter from the guards, saying that the men who originally did not want children had drugged their children that night and died...
For a moment, Ji Xingle felt mixed emotions. He was originally thinking about how to arrange for these children, but he didn't expect them to solve the problem themselves...
The Third Princess and Li Danqiu also read the contents of the letter. They frowned and pursed their lips without saying anything. However, Fang Tingting disagreed.
"Do you still want to save people like this?"
Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows and asked back;
"What kind of people are they?"
Fang Tingting spoke angrily, as if they had killed her child;
"How vicious! Even animals know not to eat their own offspring, but he, a living being, could be so cruel as to kill his own child, whom he had carried for ten months.
Do people like this deserve salvation? They should die in the mountains."
After hearing Fang Tingting's words, the Third Princess and Li Danqiu still frowned and pursed their lips. After what Ji Xingle said yesterday,
They have a new understanding of her. She has her own philosophy of life and she only does what she thinks is right...
As expected, this person believes in the theory of victim blaming, Ji Xingle sighed;
"I don't agree with them killing children, but I won't judge them too much because they are the victims. Do you know the pain and suffering in their hearts?
You don't know, and I don't know either...
Put yourself in their shoes. There is a person who is extremely evil and whom you hate very much. He drugs you and secretly gives birth to your child.
Can you like it if he forces you to compromise while holding your child?
Don't rush to refute me, think about it first, think carefully about what you will do. "
Hearing this, Fang Tingting paused and frowned. Someone else gave birth to her child? If she didn't like it, she could just throw it in the backyard!
What's the matter? It's not like her family can't afford to support one person. After a while, she still wanted to complain that the victim was cruel.
Ji Xingle, who could no longer bear it, scolded him harshly;
"The harm is different. If you don't stand in the victim's perspective, just shut your stinky mouth.
If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb! If you are so capable, I will flatten your top and make you lose your feminine charm. I don't believe you can forgive me..."
When Ji Xingle thought about those innocent victims being judged, he was furious. The victims were already miserable enough, but these people were still making sarcastic remarks...
......
It was the first time that the Third Princess and Li Danqiu saw Ji Xingle so angry and cursing, and for a moment, they didn't dare to say a word.
Fang Tingting was so overwhelmed by Ji Xingle's scolding that she felt ashamed...
The guards were also terrified and all of them lowered their heads.
Seeing that they were all frightened, Ji Xingle took a deep breath and said;
"I'm sorry, I just thought of some bad things, so I can't control myself."
Then he said to Fang Tingting;
"Don't take what I just said to heart, but I hope that if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future,
If you can’t help the victim, don’t add insult to injury.”
Hearing this, Fang Tingting came to her senses and said with apology and shame;
"Master Ji, I am also wrong. You are right. The victim has suffered a lot. We should not empathize with him or mock him.
Thank you, too, for teaching me a lesson in respecting others..."
Finally, the two smiled at each other, shook hands and made peace, and everyone around them breathed a sigh of relief...
