(Thanks for the reward and support for discovering one hundred ways men lie)
Some of the Underworld disciples who were captured by teachers and students sent by Zhuhe and were sent to a secret village to undergo labor reform while waiting for the development of the civilian version of the corpse poison antidote accepted Chu Tianbi's preaching and explanation. Surprisingly the best source of intelligence:
First, the location of the Hades Palace headquarters. To put it bluntly, the Hades Palace headquarters is a village in Miao territory. Civilians are brought here to receive a blaming brainwashing education. Those who agree with the Hades Palace philosophy receive corpse poison and practice the "Jiuquan Heart Method". Those who agree work as logistics and production personnel, but they think too much about free release;
Secondly, regarding the location of local strongholds and the content of short-term plans, grassroots personnel only know the work areas they are responsible for, and the information they have is limited, but it is still helpful to the work of exterminating corpses;
Thirdly, the intelligence of those who have a cooperative relationship with Hades, and the work of recruiting underlings and finding allies is done by the leaders. The grassroots personnel only need to obey orders, but the grassroots personnel are not required to run around when taking action, so how can they know nothing.
The prefect of Nanchang is the most important collaborator of Hades.
The teachers and students of Xiayinge were not too surprised when they learned the news. Although the Nanchang prefect had always been very honest and caring for the people, cooperated with Xiayinge's work in all aspects, and even saved Tang Sanchang's life, but two years ago During the mission of escorting a certain grain merchant who was trying to stun the poor people for Hades to the capital, the officers and soldiers sent by the Nanchang Prefecture tried to silence him. Although this was not considered to be much evidence, fools would not keep an eye out.
Regarding how to deal with the issue of the Nanchang magistrate, teachers and students of Xiayin Pavilion debated openly and secretly for some time. The disputes focused on "whether there was a factor of self-preservation" and "whether there was a name for righteousness".
Hades Palace is not a law-abiding organization. If you don't cooperate obediently, even if you report illness and resign informedly, you may not be able to survive. Masters of Hades Palace or Masters of Sadness and Joy Tower will come to your door to provide silence services.
Some people think that there are extenuating circumstances and that others cannot be forced to abide by the law when their lives are threatened. Anything they do for survival should be forgiven. Some people think that if something is wrong, it is wrong, and you cannot murder others for your own selfishness. , the victim is so innocent, he should take his own life.
It is unclear whether the Nanchang magistrate is just betting on both sides for the sake of high-ranking officials and rich salaries, but from the standpoint of court officials, the martial arts people are not a group that obeys management. It makes perfect sense for the underworld and Xia Yin Pavilion to fight each other. An example of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
Some people have proposed that "becoming a chivalrous person who does not use force to break the ban" is the fundamental way to eliminate the contradiction between chivalrous people and the court; some people point to the original text of Han Feizi's "Five Li" and argue that since the scholar can rely on the sentence "a chivalrous person uses force to break the ban" Just as the knight can murder the knight with confidence, the knight should also be able to slaughter the scholar with confidence by just saying "Confucianism and literature corrupt the law".
As always, Xiayin Pavilion failed to reach a conclusion in the debate. After reading the laws of the country and paying attention to the current affairs of Nanchang, they still could not reach an agreement. Chu Tianbi's final decision was to "wait and see" and ordered Gaohu to send the girls from Baihu Village to secretly follow the actions of the Nanchang prefect.
The efforts of the girls in Baihu Village were not in vain. Not only did they make a list to identify who was involved in Nanchang City and who was innocent, they also recently discovered that the Nanchang Prefecture secretly sent people to investigate the family situations of Xia Yin Pavilion disciples from ordinary families. After reporting back to Xia Yin Pavilion, Chu Tianbi quickly sent people to secretly protect the families of the disciples.
Then——Duan Hong'er assassinated the prefect of Nanchang.
The reason is simple. Chu Tianbi's approach is contrary to her thoughts.
After last year's incident, Duan Hong'er decided to abandon the illusory ideal that could not save anyone, embrace the guilt of her senior sisters and brothers who lost their lives due to her immature decision, and accept the cruel reality.
If the devil is one foot high, the Tao must be one foot high!
Even though the road ahead will be filled with the arbitrary actions of martial arts and the resentment and criticism of others, she will carry out everything she believes in and protect the people she should protect at all costs - even if she is just a shadow!
"..." The body of the Nanchang magistrate was discovered, and the mansion was in chaos. Duan Hong'er's various thoughts about killing people who were unable to resist gradually dissipated, turned around and used Qinggong to leave.
She didn't know if there was any precedent in Xiayin Pavilion where a disciple defied the pavilion master's decision-making action. Anyway, she had a clear conscience and was mentally prepared to be expelled from the pavilion.
"...!" Duan Honger, who was about to fly over the city wall, stopped and landed on the city wall.
Because there is a majestic figure standing on the city wall.
Her father, Duan Xiaolie.
"..." Duan Xiaolie said nothing, and did not even turn to look at his daughter.
"...Father." Duan Hong'er felt uneasy.
According to Duan Xiaolie's behavior, he should not reprimand the behavior of using violence to control evil, but there is also a saying that 'a small impatience will mess up a big plan'. Perhaps Chu Tianbi and Duan Xiaolie had plans in mind that they could not explain to their disciples in advance, and their own actions This plan was ruined.
"That man asked me to take the message." Duan Xiaolie said in a calm tone, "It's best to investigate in person before killing someone. Don't blindly trust the information provided by others. There is no need to talk nonsense to the target when killing someone, even if the other party is helpless. The same is true for useless people; it is a bad habit to linger at the scene after a murder. If you are emotional, go to the funeral. Every time you make a mistake, write a two thousand word article of reflection and hand it in within three days."
"?!" Duan Hong'er was frightened by someone's prediction.
Duan Xiaolie glanced at his daughter: "Why don't you go back quickly? Do you think you are qualified to graduate?"
"Yes...yes!" Duan Hong'er was shocked and quickly used Qing Gong to leave.
As for realizing that his father was actually here to protect him, it was already a few minutes later.
"...We must cherish the precious learning opportunity." Duan Xiaolie turned his attention to the Nanchang magistrate's mansion and murmured, "If Xia Yin Pavilion had the guidance of Yongting killer, the third brother, sister-in-law, and wife would not …”
》》》》》》
"..." Chu Tianbi noticed Duan Hong'er's return, but did not show up to say anything.
In fact, when he learned that Duan Hong'er's whereabouts in the short-hand combat course were missing, he had already guessed Duan Hong'er's whereabouts. Using his Qinggong to catch up, he might be able to stop Duan Hong'er. Of course, there might be dangers along the way. You have to have a fight with Duan Xiaolie.
But he didn't do this, partly because Duan Hong'er grew up under his eyes. Even though unlike Jing, she didn't call him 'father' or practice swordsmanship, he still regarded her as half a daughter in his heart. I really don't want to meet her in battle.
As for the other part of the reason.
"I thought Feiton would do something about this matter, but it turned out to be unfounded worries." Chu Tianbi knew that Duan Hong'er's behavior was spontaneous and was not deliberately induced by Feiton. "It wasn't me who set himself on fire at all. Have you been trying to wrap the flames in paper...?”
