"If Zhang Linchuan, the leader of the coaching staff, heads eastward, Jiang Wang, the Marquis of Wu'an, is willing to offer him 20,000 primeval stones in return, and promise to do his best once and for all without violating his true heart and justice!"
This is definitely the most significant reward offered by any country in the world in recent years.
It's not that Zhang Linchuan weighs much.
But among the powerful people in the world, few people can be affected by the bounty.
Just like Jiang Mengxiong, if he could be killed, Jingguo would be willing to give out no matter how much Yuan Stone he had. But who dares to hang this reward? Who dares to take it?
Only a leftist monster like Zhang Linchuan, once identified, is a rat on the street, and everyone calls for beating him.
And his growth method is destined to attract more believers and expand his teachings. Even if there is an inanimate world as a gap, some traces will inevitably be left.
Because of his usual caution and the secrecy of the inanimate world, he himself could still hide. However, altars in various places were destroyed one after another, and the Disha messengers who preached abandoned their careers and fled. If they ran a little slower, they would be rewarded with their heads beheaded.
Things like the crazy expansion of Diyou Envoys in Fengtai City of Chengguo and open competition with righteous sects such as Lingkong Temple will never happen again in the Eastern and Southern Regions.
Once it is classified as a cult, it is no longer qualified to grow in the sun.
Jiang Wang had already thought about dealing with Zhang Linchuan. I have thought about it seriously many times.
To deal with everything walking in the darkness, no matter how strong, evil, or cunning it is, just crush it with the powerful force of the sun. The sun will shine across the sky and the mountains and rivers will naturally shine through.
Where can the demons and demons escape?
It's just that before Lin Youxie's accident, he didn't see the possibility of completely wiping out the Wu Sheng Cult, and he didn't want to alert the enemy. To deal with an enemy like Zhang Linchuan, small fights will not help at all. What is important is that if you don't move, you will be done, if you move, it will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Linchuan would sneak into Qi State and replace Lei Zhanqian's identity with his strange numerology powers... They were already close at hand, but he didn't know it!
Just like when he was in Maplewood City Taoist Academy, he never knew that senior brother Zhang Linchuan, who was superb in thunder skills and had a clean nature, was actually a member of the White Bone Taoist.
There is no life or death enemy waiting for you to grow up in this world.
If it weren't for Lin Youxie, the outcome of this game would have been unpredictable.
…
In the savage forest, a solitary grave was erected.
The tomb is not very magnificent, but it is exquisite in every aspect, showing that it has been carefully built.
The genius Qingpai Lin Youxie rests here.
There is no body, no soul, just clothes and clothes as a tomb...
Even these clothes were taken from the sealed Lin family's old house.
Also buried in the tomb are the original case files that she has solved over the years, which may be regarded as the few traces of her life. The files still left in Beiyali are all copies - these files were sorted and sent by Zheng Shangming himself.
Jiang Wang personally arranged Lin Youxie's funeral.
Every part, inside and out, is done by oneself.
He originally wanted to bury Lin Youxie at Tianxing Cliff, because Sanxing Palace was the last place this girl wanted to go.
But she hasn't really left Qi Tu, nor can she really join the Sanxing Palace. And as the only descendant of the Qingpai family, she has a special status. The Qingpai family, which originated during the reign of Emperor Wu of Qi, had ceased to exist and had completely become history.
Although not many people cared about her during her lifetime, no one knew about her disappearance for several months. But where she is buried after her death still needs to consider the perception of the people of Qi and the impact on the country...
This seems to be a fate that has been doomed since she was born.
Chong Xuan Sheng persuaded him seriously. Moreover, the momentum to annihilate the Wu Sheng Cult must also originate from Lin Youxie of the Qi people. It started from Lushuang County in Qi State and swept the world...
After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Wang decided to build a grave for Lin Youxie at the place where the two separated.
It can be regarded as telling her that she has waited for her old friend to come and look for her.
Today is the day when the tomb is completed, and the funeral and funeral rites have all dispersed.
Lin Youxie liked peace and quiet, so he didn't invite anyone.
Even if there is someone who wants to have a relationship, no one dares to get in trouble with him at this time.
That is to say, Chong Xuan Sheng, Shi Shi, Li Longchuan, Yan Fu and other friends came over specially to burn some sticks of incense.
They have all left now.
September is the height of autumn, and the sky is messy with branches. The old crows are flying away gradually after making a few calls.
He stood alone at the tomb.
Stayed quietly for a long time.
The tombstone was carved by his own hands, using his fingers to chisel and carve it into the stone. After thinking for a long time, I finally engraved only the three characters Lin Youxie without adding any prefixes or suffixes.
Those so-called honors and so-called remembrances are all implicated in Lin Youxie.
Throughout her life, she had been trapped by too heavy a web of dust. Her ideals, relatives, and family glory were all very heavy. She never lived for herself even for a moment.
Nothing easy.
What remains in Jiang Wang's memory now are only the sound of pounding medicine, the figure waving away, and the black cat broken in Xinniao's eyes.
A clean tombstone was erected and the three words Lin Youxie were engraved on it.
Not many people in the world care about her, and I hope that after she leaves, they won't have to worry about the world either.
…
The sound of broken branches gently crushed the emotions.
Qingzhuan, who had been busy with various affairs in Lushuang County these days, walked into the forest worriedly: "Master Marquis, I just received news from Linzi, ordering you to return to Linzi to participate in the court meeting."
Many recent investigations surrounding Lushuang County were jointly conducted by the Lushuang County Garrison and the Inspection Office. The person in charge of Beiya is Qi Huaichang, the deputy inspection envoy, a member of the Qi family in Donglai... This is of course a gesture to control the situation, and it is difficult to say whether there is any other meaning in it.
Qing Zhuan's worries have their own reasons.
An open letter from the Marquis Wu'an of Daqi caused an uproar in the world.
Reactions vary from place to place.
Although Chu and Mu have spoken out, and Sanxing Palace and Jiange have expressed their stance, not everyone in the world is selling Jiang Wang's face.
For example, Jingguo Jingshitai, although it is an organization that belongs exclusively to Jingguo, but because of Jingguo's special status and the influence of the Central Empire, it usually monitors the responsibilities of the world on its own. The ancient covenant to slay demons is often invoked to eliminate foreign thieves and kill evil spirits.
However, they did not speak out on the issue of the Immortality Religion.
Even though Jiang Wang's open letter was delivered to the door. All the evidence regarding the evil laws practiced by Wu Sheng Cult was handed over to them. This organization that monitors evil and evil people in the world still remains silent.
It is said that Jingshitai cannot act rashly. It will take time to verify the nature of Wusheng Sect and Zhang Linchuan's specific information...
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that what is reflected behind this incident is more of Jingguo's dissatisfaction with Qiguo and the intentional neglect of Jingshitai Qiguo's people. As the mirror of Jing State, he did not want to give greater momentum to Marquis Wu'an of Qi State.
If you send a letter from the Duke of Qi, I, Jing Shitai, will come forward immediately. Who is in charge of the world now?
Jingshitai did not speak out, and the central region covered by Jingguo's influence, and even the Taoist countries in the world, were naturally silent.
The external political environment is like this, but even within Qi State, it is not monolithic and speaks with the same voice.
Although there are evil cults and monsters, everyone will find them and punish them. But it is not that simple to use the power of Qi to promote this matter. Politics sometimes exists beyond stance.
Jingshitai was unwilling to let the matter led by Jiang Wang gain greater momentum.
Does everyone in Qi hope that Jiang Wang will be well?
It is true that with the current political status of Bowang Hou and Wu'an Hou, it is not impossible to implement a decree targeting a specific cult in Qi State.
But in terms of efficiency, it will definitely not be very fast.
After all, they are not the Duke of Huai who has been in charge of a thousand-year-old family, nor are they the Princess Mu who is deeply loved by the empress.
To completely eradicate the Wusheng Cult, the most important thing is speed.
With Zhang Linchuan's wisdom, he would not have imagined the consequences of his failure in Qi. Even if Jiang Wang's influence was misjudged, he must have made a lot of preparations.
If he was given enough time, it was hard to say whether he would be able to safely transfer the belief in the Immortal Cult and create another organization like the Immortal Cult. He was extremely proficient in the art of reviving corpses.
Therefore, Jiang Wang and Zhongxuan Sheng took two steps in pursuing the Wu Sheng Cult.
Jiang Wang's open letter was sent directly to Sanxing Palace and asked the Legalist Holy Land to notarize it. The many evidences attached to the letter were enough for Sanxing Palace to see the matter clearly.
Because of Lin Kuang and Wu Lie's past contributions to the Xing Ming Palace, Judi Palace had already reserved a place for Lin Youxie to enter school. Lin Youxie was killed in the process of tracking down the cult leader... Based on the three Xing Palace's His behavior is that he will not avoid this matter no matter what.
Of course, the statement made by Wu Bingji, the great master in charge of Judi Palace, was something Jiang Wang had not expected.
He originally thought that for a cult of the size of Wusheng Cult, it would be enough for Sanxing Palace to send a true disciple of the divine level to speak out, and even the real person did not have to come forward. Not to mention that Wu Bing had personally spoken out and called on the Legalist monks all over the world to join in the execution... This can only be attributed to Lin Kuang and Uriel's legacy.
On Zhongxuansheng's side, he started from Lushuang County and blamed Wusheng Cult for all the actions Zhang Linchuan did in Lushuang County after replacing Lei Zhanqian. Starting from the "victims" in Lushuang County, a large-scale wave of annihilation of the cult was triggered.
A large part of these "victims" can actually be said to be losers under reasonable competition. Because Zhang Linchuan borrowed Lei Zhanqian's body to board Qi's ship, not to cause any damage from the beginning. Therefore, he was very disciplined in various struggles in Lushuang County.
However, these people were indeed suppressed by Zhang Linchuan, the ancestor of the Wusheng Cult, and there was nothing wrong with using them to sound the death knell for the Wusheng Cult.
Specifically regarding Jiang Wang's open letter and the huge response it triggered, there have always been different voices within Qi.
Among them, the loudest one is still the famous Confucian scholar Fengming.
This person wrote three articles in a row, saying "How can Lingyang be held in great responsibilities", "What is the use of public tools for private use", and "How can national affairs be regarded as private hatred".
For the last two articles, you can roughly know what they are about just by looking at their names. The "Lingyang" in the first article refers to the Marquis Lingyang during the period of Emperor Wu of Qi. He was deprived of his title by Emperor Wu for using official weapons for personal use.
The first article scolds Marquis Lingyang, which is considered a test of the waters.
Using the past to advise the present, his literary talent flourishes.
Following the second and third articles, the wording became increasingly harsh, and they were directly targeted at Jiang Wang.
Of course, Er Fengming represents more than just him. But it is difficult to forcefully classify him into a party. This brilliant pen and the madman's attitude that no one dares to criticize are his philosophy of survival.
The cunningness of knowing who can and cannot be scolded, and the thick-headedness to shrink away and shut up whenever he encounters a tough situation, are the prerequisites for him to live a more prosperous life than Xu Fang did back then.
Some people seek a good reputation, while others seek a bad reputation. Dragons and snakes each have their own ways, and both can prosper.
These three articles were indeed wonderfully written and aroused much discussion among the government and the public.
No big shot in the Political Hall or the Military Hall came out to express their views, but from then on, the quarrel became more and more intense.
As one of the most popular figures in Qi State today, the fact that Marquis Wuan mobilized state resources to hunt down an unknown cult has become a hot topic in the streets.
The memorials related to it are more like raindrops flying.
There are supporters and opponents.
Until today, the emperor made it clear that Jiang Wang would participate in this court meeting.
This is probably to make a final conclusion for the material debate that has been raging during this period.
Qing Bian is worried about this.
Jiang Wang was very calm. When he heard the news, he just said: "I understand."
Some things are actually not debatable, but some people can't stand the carping and others are adding fuel to the flames.
If you are bent on provocation, you will always find a reason. Block me from the sun when you stand, block my way when you lie down.
He has long been accustomed to it, and it is nothing more than facing it.
Just one more glance at Lin Youxie's tombstone, then he stood up and fled away... The blue clouds were heading towards Linzi.
…
Ziji Hall is the hall where civil and military officials of the Da Qi Empire discuss matters.
The local political affairs of this great empire can be completed in the county governor's office. The imperial court was usually only responsible for supervision.
Political affairs involving the whole country, as well as some government affairs that cannot be decided by the local government, can often be properly resolved during the discussion stage of the officials.
Further up is the collegial meeting in the political hall, and finally the emperor's review.
After all, such a huge empire, with thousands of miles of territory and hundreds of millions of people, how can we worry about everything?
Historically, it was common for emperors to pay homage once in half a month, once in a month, or even for a year and a half.
Only today, I am very diligent in sitting in court. As long as I am not on an expedition, I will be able to do it rain or shine. He often sits high in the Ziji Palace and listens silently to the quarrels of officials. He would not participate in discussions on non-important matters, but all matters discussed by officials must be reviewed in his mind, so no one dared not to pay attention.
After having achievements that were already comparable to those of Taizu and Emperor Wu, it was the same, and he never slacked off.
He sits in the supreme position, behind the calm beaded curtain, no one can see clearly the emperor's heart, which is also his gaze on the entire world.
All great emperors must have great aspirations. Obviously, the Daqi Empire that now spans the southeast and has its eyes on the world has not been able to fulfill his ambitions.
He has been in power for fifty-seven years since he ascended the throne.
The Yuanfeng era name is enough to be named great, but the story about this era name continues.
It is different from the majestic, quiet and great high shore imagined by many people.
Most of the time, Ziji Temple is no different from a vegetable market. The two parties in the quarrel each said their own things, and many of them were red-faced.
Today is no exception.
This means that agricultural taxes not only need to be further reduced, but also converted into money, so as to avoid the losses caused in the process of collecting grain.
The one who said that thirty taxes to one is already a huge favor from the emperor. In any decision, national conditions must be taken into consideration. If you collect money, collect money, your mother is about to starve to death. Is it okay to eat money?
There was a lot of noise.
Until the golden melon warriors outside the palace announced: "I have an audience with Marquis Wu'an!"
Ziji Palace immediately seemed to have a silent barrier, and everyone shut up.
Some people's eyes seemed to fall on the queue on the right side of the hall, the famous Confucian who stood with his arms folded and a calm expression... Er Fengming, who did not hold any official position.
At this moment, Marquis Wu An, wearing a purple nine-python Tunyun Marquis uniform, strode into the palace with his sword in his hand and without taking off his shoes.
The sound of his boots echoed loudly in the hall. Today, he has changed from his usual gentleness. His eyebrows are sharp and his energy is steaming. It seems that the world-famous sword on his waist has been unsheathed!
He walked in the passage separated by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, without squinting. In the tall and spacious Ziji Hall, there is a graceful way of supporting a dome. Step by step, he walked to Danbi.
"No courtesy." Emperor Qi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, only raised his hand.
Song Yao, who was standing in the queue at the Political Hall, had an expressionless face. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yi Xingchen, who was carrying a memorial next to him.
I know everyone is a little confused.
Neither those who supported Wu Anhou nor those who supported Er Fengming could grasp the emperor's attitude.
I haven’t bowed yet, so why don’t you excuse me?
Is the emperor satisfied or dissatisfied?
If you hold it up high, do you want to knock it down hard?
Those who are interested go to see the champion prince who is also the pride of the empire with Wu'an Hou. However, when he sees the white-clothed prince in the honorable queue, his eyes are slightly closed, and he is still immersed in his own world of practice - "standing guard" at the court meeting. , is indeed the privilege of these two young military heroes.
Jiang Wang didn't care about that at all, and didn't speculate on anything. He just stood there, his spine straight like a sword, standing on the ground and supporting the sky.
The emperor's eyes dropped, and his voice enveloped the hall: "Marquis Wu'an's letter is very well written, which shows that he has put in effort in studying recently."
Jiang Wang replied: "I just can't help myself. I just write it without any knowledge. I don't know what good or bad diction is."
The Emperor looked at him and said in a calm tone: "There have been a few articles recently that quoted scriptures and were written in beautiful words. They are like tasting fragrant tea. Have you read them, Marquis Wu'an?"
"If it's a recent article, I probably haven't read it."
"Why?"
"there is no time."
"What are you busy with, my dear?"
Jiang Wang replied calmly: "I'm busy with my friend's funeral."
The Emperor originally had something to say, but suddenly he didn't want to say it anymore.
Then he waved his hand: "Mr. I have invited Marquis Wu An over for you. If you have any questions, you might as well ask them in person."
The atmosphere in Ziji Palace was a little tense.
Er Fengming was clearly prepared. With his big sleeves fluttering, he calmly walked out of the queue and walked to Jiang Wang's side.
He was unarmed and wore only white socks on his feet, so his momentum was naturally lowered.
But with a calm face, he first bowed to the emperor, then bowed to Jiang Wang, and said sincerely: "The common people have always respected the martial arts of the marquis. I am trying to say something today. If there are any fallacies, please don't forgive me. Even if you criticize me, . If it is not enough to relieve the anger, blood will be splashed three steps, and the common people will have no complaints."
Facing this famous scholar who repeatedly scolded himself bloody, Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Please speak."
Er Fengming straightened up and brushed open his big sleeves. He seemed to have the aura of a celebrity and said, "May I ask Lord Marquis, which one is more serious when it comes to national hatred and private hatred?"
"What is national hatred? What is private hatred?" Jiang Wang asked, "Mr. you might as well say it clearly. What does it mean to conquer Xia? What does it mean to suppress Wusheng Cult?"
Er Fengming said: "Of course the attack on Xia is out of national hatred, and the suppression of Wusheng Cult is out of personal hatred."
Jiang Wang looked at him calmly: "Did the suppression of the Wu Sheng Cult affect my conquest of Xia?"
Er Fengming was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had fallen into a language trap, and felt a sense of absurd astonishment... Didn't it mean that Marquis Wu An only used old fists at every turn?
But he quickly reacted: "That's not what you said. If the Wusheng Cult is a cult, it should indeed be suppressed. I also hate the cult deeply. But how should it be suppressed? How much effort will it take?"
"A mere inanimate religion is like an ant to a majestic mountain. Is it worth the expense of our country's national power?"
He became more and more excited: "It is enough for a small sect to publish a list and put a reward in the inspection office! But the Marquis has created such a big situation with hatred. Now the whole country is saying that there is no life sect, and everyone wants to kill Zhang Linchuan The head is used by the whole court for the prince’s personal hatred. Is it true that the prince is not uneasy at all?”
Jiang Wang looked at him steadily for a while.
Er Fengming looked a little dazed, and the excitement of devoting all his energy to serving the country unconsciously weakened.
But he still straightened his spine and said with a literati tone: "What did the common people say wrong? Lord Marquis, feel free to speak out."
Jiang Wangdao: "If I want to talk about the harms of the Wusheng Cult, I can say a lot. The dangers of Zhang Linchuan, the founder of the Wusheng Cult, can be listed one, two, three, and four. You may understand, you may not understand, you may pretend not to understand. But None of this... matters today."
He sighed: "You are right about personal hatred."
"Wu Shengjiao has a hatred for me, and I will kill him before he can be resolved... In front of His Majesty, in front of all my colleagues, I cannot deny it."
He turned around, no longer looking at Er Fengming, and only paid homage to the Emperor of Qi who was sitting on the dragon throne: "In the past, in the palace, your Majesty had questions, but I couldn't answer them all. Today I will try to say——"
Although he bowed, he said loudly: "I know that you are the king of the country and the nobles of the princes! I am willing to use my four years of fame for personal hatred! I hope your majesty will grant you permission!"
He did not explain or argue. He admitted that his dealings with Wusheng Cult and Zhang Linchuan were more about his personal hatred. He admitted that he was not the kind of selfless person who only had country in mind. He acknowledges his love and hate as his own.
Now, he is willing to use everything he has won in the past four years of hard work to make this exchange!
The current world is too vast, and there is still room for the White Bone Dao in the world. He wants to ask Emperor Qi to issue a letter of credence!
The whole hall was silent.
Chong Xuan Sheng was also silent, which was inconsistent with his prior suggestions and made his subsequent preparations useless. The outcome of today's court meeting has become confusing. Is a blessing or a curse? Is it right or wrong?
Er Fengming opened his mouth to speak, but finally closed it.
Jiang Wang admitted that he killed the Wusheng Cult out of personal hatred, and admitted that he was just a person who did not understand the overall situation. What else could he say?
It just depends on the attitude of the emperor.
In this day and age, there is no need for mercy or punishment.
There can be extreme grace, and there can also be extreme coldness.
So what would be his attitude towards a military meritorious prince who does not consider state affairs as his first priority?
Regardless of princes, generals, ministers or nobles.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated.
Even Zhong Xuanzun, who was silently "standing guard", opened his eyes.
But I heard the emperor's voice raised: "How can you call it private hatred?"
He fell down slightly again: "You are the prince of the country!"
"You said you already understand the nobility of a prince, but I think you don't understand."
He looked at Jiang Wang on the dragon chair and said slowly: "You are the prince of Daqi, and you share the same honor as the country. Your private affairs are the national affairs of Daqi!"
Today there are 6,000 words, one of which is an update for Ashigan Creditors Committee. (1/10)
