PAID Chapter 102 – Nobles and generals, are they born with such privilege?

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

Qiushan said, "Though we are bandits, we are still men of integrity. If we were to rob the elderly, women, and children, would we still be considered human? Don't you agree, Mister?"

Xu Qingzhou nodded in agreement, looking at Qiushan with a hint of admiration.

"Then why not rob these scholars?"

Qiushan lowered his head and sighed.

"To tell you the truth, Mister, it's no joke. Since ancient times, generals have conquered the world, while scholars have governed it. Every official is mostly a scholar."

"And these scholars could be future officials. I think, if one day a good official emerges, like a saintly one, then the common people would have hope."

"So scholars shouldn't be killed; they are useful."

"Although there are countless scholars in this world, only a few achieve fame, and most end up as corrupt officials."

"But I, Qiushan, believe it's better to let a thousand go free than to kill one by mistake. If, because of me, a good official is lost to the world, my sin would be great."

"So I don't rob scholars. Instead, if I encounter a poor scholar, I might even give them some help, hoping they can achieve fame and govern well, making the world clearer and reducing the number of people like me who turn to banditry."

Xu Qingzhou felt a slight stir in his heart, gaining a deeper understanding of Qiushan.

Though a bandit, he had a heart that cared for the suffering of the world.
