There is a pot of tea, three chairs, three teacups, and a coffee table in the grove in the backyard of the Black Flag Camp.
The separation of superiors and subordinates in the public house was too deliberate, and the meeting hall seemed too formal, so Shen Hao changed the place of conversation to the backyard.
The guests that Shen Hao entertained like this were naturally extraordinary.
The visitors are Zhong Hongye, the ninth elder of Wanjuanshu Mountain, and Xiang Liu, the seventh elder of Mingshan Sect.
These two are old acquaintances. Last time Shen Hao got married, these two people came to congratulate each other in person. They were very generous and Shen Hao appreciated it, so he was very enthusiastic when he saw each other here.
He poured tea for the two great monks with his own hands, and after chatting for a few words, he became curious about what they were talking about when they came to see him together.
"Master Shen is busy with official duties. We shouldn't come here to disturb him, but the sect is so deeply involved that we have to come here." It was Xiang Liu who spoke. Although he was smiling as he spoke, his tone was quite serious.
The same goes for Zhong Hongye next to him, with a smile on his face, but his eyes are also serious, even a bit prepared. I don't know if Shen Hao gave them the impression last time that it was really difficult to deal with, so that's why they were like this.
Shen Hao nodded and said: "It's okay to tell the elders, Shen is all ears."
"It's like this. Master Shen now shoulders the important task of being the foreign affairs deacon of Fenghong Villa. Almost all affairs related to the sect and the Jing Dynasty are made by adults. He does not delay and brings new problems to many problems. The sect is very grateful to Master Shen for the solution."
At this point, Shen Hao was muttering in his heart. He didn't know what he was feeling when he said these words to Liu Xiang. Anyway, he felt extremely awkward when he heard it.
If you can't say it in such a situation, don't say it. At least you can get an "upright" impression. To put it bluntly, isn’t this uncomfortable for both myself and others?
Moreover, Shen Hao couldn't interrupt Xiang Liu. After all, it's inappropriate for you to interrupt someone else, especially since Xiang Liu's identity and cultivation are on the line here. You should at least let the other party finish what he said. Moreover, Shen Hao understood that the first word was "raise", so the next words were probably "suppression". And the focus should be on the back, and you can talk about it after listening.
Sure enough, after Xiang Liu crackled a lot of blunt compliments, his face didn't look very good. He probably felt uncomfortable saying such words to a kid who was only in the Yuan Dan realm.
Then Xiang Liu changed the topic and got to the point: "But Master Shen seems to be a little too strict on some things. The monks of the sect don't understand the secular rules and regulations very well. Many times they make mistakes when their minds are hot. In itself, There was no intention to offend the Jingjiu Dynasty, and there was no evil intention.
Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Shen to leave more room for sects that have done wrong things to have a chance to reform instead of beating them to death with a stick. "
Before Shen Hao could speak, Zhong Hongye beside him also spoke: "Many sects actually have very few disciples. It is not an exaggeration to say that they practice in isolation without fighting against the world. But if you make some unintentional mistakes, you will be severely punished or even Half of the disciples lost their lives as a result. This was too much and aroused great resentment among sects everywhere.
In order to achieve a rare balance between the sect and the dynasty, Master Shen is also asked to think more about the sect. In fact, the method does not need to be so cruel. "
Although Shen Hao has only served as the Archdeacon of Foreign Affairs of Fenghong Villa for a few months, which is not a long time, in a short period of time, everyone in the sect has a clear understanding of this Archdeacon with multiple identities and titles. .
In the past, any friction between the sect and Jingjiu Dynasty would be handled by the elders on duty in Fenghong Villa. It was common for one or two months to argue about a matter, and it was not uncommon for one or two years to occur. And in the end, peace is basically the most important thing. Most of the Jingjiu Dynasty suffered a small loss, and the sect did not take any big advantage. Both sides are barely acceptable.
But now, under the leadership of the Archdeacon Shen Hao, the situation has changed dramatically. All matters are resolved in the shortest possible time, and they never argue with each other. They directly use the laws of the old Jing Dynasty to explain things, and add things to the matter. The general facts require punishment. The executioner was Jin Jianwei of Fenghong Villa. He was not good at wrangling, but he was good at doing things.
No one who could be killed was spared. Those who cannot be killed are forced to block the door and forcefully punish everyone with nearly half of their accumulation. If you dare not give it, your future recruitment will be cut off and you will slowly die in time. Dare to break up? That would be just the reason to destroy your whole family.
The key is that one after another these incidents are basically caused by some small third-rate or inferior sects, and there are relatively few second-rate or first-rate sects.
It's not that Shen Hao only picks weak persimmons, but the lower the strength of the sect, the more resources it lacks, and the more habitually it is to take advantage of the "big family" Jing Jiuchao, and the more things happen. In the past, it was just bullshit. Although the people in Maple Red Villa are also annoying, they are not too aggressive and can be somewhat shameless.
Now it's in the hands of Shen Hao, the new Archdeacon. In the past few months, eleven low-ranking sects have been forced to hand over the heads of their disciples to appease the anger of the old Jing Dynasty. In addition, more than a dozen third-rate sects have been punished to the point of vomiting blood, and saw a The Golden Sword Guards who were surrounded outside the mountain gate did not dare to say a harsh word.
These losses were too great, and the resentment naturally spread quickly.
The families at the bottom of the sect are not cared about yet, but they are a force that cannot be underestimated, and they are the largest number in the entire cultivation world. Therefore, the voices from the bottom up eventually became loud enough that even the super sect had to step forward.
In fact, thinking more broadly, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect are not without their concerns.
According to the previous handling methods of the Jingjiu Dynasty after the destruction of the four second-rate sects, it is obvious that the Jingjiu Dynasty's control over resources will only become stronger and stronger in the future. Who dares to say that Jing Jiuchao's change of platform to Shen Hao this time is not aimed at those lower-level sects with the purpose of "eliminating one thing and increasing the other" to slowly eat away at the sect's resource quota?
In the eyes of monks, time is not a senseless knife. Even if you look at it for a hundred years, it will not be too long. If the Jing Dynasty is willing to use a hundred years to slowly cut off the flesh, how can the sect bear it?
If you don't deal with it in advance, it may be too late by the time you feel the pain.
However, the Jingjiu Dynasty is currently in control, and the sect should not be too tough, and it does not want to break up with the Jingjiu Dynasty or make things more tense under such circumstances. So Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu, who had dealt with Shen Hao, were sent over to explore Shen Hao's tone and purpose before talking about anything else.
Shen Hao's smile remained unchanged, and he could tell what the other person's purpose was this time from the first half of what he said.
So Shen Hao replied: "What the two elders mean is that they hope that Fenghong Villa will continue to argue endlessly about the sect's affairs in the future, and let the sect take advantage in the end?
Or do you think that Fenghong Villa disrespects the sect by following the inherent rules of Jingjiu Dynasty?
Or maybe the two seniors felt that the sect should be superior to others, so they could ignore the rules of the Jingjiu Dynasty? "
