Chapter Forty-Nine: Imperial Power and the White Lotus

The main dish, fried veal tenderloin, the guest officer uses it slowly, more than 6,000 today, ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for hug......

――――――――――

Mingzhou City is not big, but it is not small, it was once extremely prosperous, but now it is a depression. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In this depressed city, there are two respected characters, or in the game, or cold-eyed and compassionate, I have to say that it is a little surprising and a little interesting.

Elder Liu came alone, but the old man was not rickety, and his white beard was full of peace, but he was standing there, and he was not domineering, but more imposing than five hundred brocade guards and dozens of soldiers patrolling the city.

Zhu Ding stopped crying, just like a child from an ordinary family who was suddenly frightened, and began to shrink into Old Man Fang's arms and feel uneasy, this acting skill made him give himself 100,000 likes in his heart.

He was curious about how this prefect, who seemed to be a little stubborn and not afraid of power, would deal with this matter.

Just now, he had already seen that this old man, at least on the surface, was a good official who loved the people like a son.

However, the matter that Elder Liu is suing is not only limited to the dispute over who is right and who is wrong, but also involves the dispute between the clerical power and the law of the country, which can already be said to be the dispute between the deified woman and the high-ranking Hongwu Emperor.

There shall not be two days in the kingdom, even if it is a male and a female.

Zhu Ding's thoughts kept drifting around, although he didn't have many opportunities to really make decisions about the struggle for power and profit in his life, he had experienced a lot.

Back to his current situation, he didn't worry about his safety at all, the government overwhelmed the White Lotus Sect, he was at most a day trip to the prison, and Zou Yu, who could command the position of the officer, couldn't even do this little thing.

The White Lotus Sect overwhelmed the local officials, and he was even more worry-free, it was nothing more than the acquittal of a White Lotus Sect, what is this, really according to blood, most of the people he had never seen, and he didn't even know a few names, but they were all family White Lotus Sectists earlier.

Rhubarb had just hugged Zou Yu's thigh, and he would never be okay if he thought about it.

As for the Oiran siblings? Zhu Ding doesn't care, whether he is cold-blooded or insensitive, he doesn't have the temperament of a virgin, he only cares about the people he cares about.

He is even maliciously speculating now, Duan Hong has just been directly circled by the prince of Goryeo, and he can't stand steadily, will he borrow the slope to get off the donkey at this time, just come to a "faint", and hand over this mess directly to Jinyiwei?

Except for Elder Liu, the faces of the others present were ugly, and the onlookers were evacuated home by the very discerning Deng Zongqi as early as halfway through Elder Liu's words, and then he and dozens of soldiers patrolling the city blocked the area around the inn.

Only then did Zhu Ding discover that this little officer, who could only keep his head down and fight silently, was actually quite good at handling things, at least much better than Zhang Wancheng, who had been pretending to be invisible since Elder Liu came.

Governor Duan's face was very calm, at least now he was calm, he looked into Elder Liu's eyes, and he was no longer mixed with other emotions, there was no sign of fainting at all, he was very clear.

He straightened his clothes, straightened his long beard, bowed respectfully in the direction of Nanjing, and said:

"Elder Liu's words are wrong, the Son of Heaven has made it clear since the beginning of the founding of the country, there are traitors, and the respect of the prince is also the same as the common people!

Today, the old man surnamed Fang grandchildren raised their voices and forced them to blame them in the place where the foreign nobles stayed, which is already disrespectful, although there is a reason for the incident, and he was injured by the evil slaves, the cause of which is investigated in detail by his own government, and naturally will not let the good people be wronged and let the wicked go free.

This government doesn't ask him what family he came from, let alone what family he came from, as long as it is my Ming people, as long as it is under the jurisdiction of my Ming Prefecture, this government will definitely judge impartially, and don't bother Elder Liu! ”

Zhang Wancheng was shocked, he never expected that Governor Duan would deal with it like this, this is quite polite, if it is placed in the market, it means the same as "What does this matter to you, which onion do you count as you?" "It's not much different!

Duan Hong's behavior today really surprised Zhang Wancheng, where is this good old man who is soft and bad on weekdays? This is obviously a stone in a thatched house, stinky and hard!

Zhu Ding shrank in the arms of the old man Fang and shivered, and his afterglow looked at Zou Yu, who seemed to be looking at him casually, and quietly made an affirmative gesture agreed in the alley.

He doesn't like the government, he doesn't like the Jinyi Guard, but he hates the White Lotus Sect even more, and he won't forget the events of that night until he dies! can make the important figures of the White Lotus Sect deflated, of course he is happy to see it.

This is already a drama of three people, Elder Liu, Duan Hong, Zou Yu, and the rest, including the prince of Goryeo, have no room to intervene.

After Governor Duan said those words impassionedly, he looked at Elder Liu calmly, looked at his well-maintained white face, which did not show many wrinkles, and waited for the old man's reaction.

Elder Liu's face was very calm, there were few things that could move him all the way from the wind and waves, but his refutation of Governor Duan's words made people's hearts tremble.

"Lord Duan's words are wrong, although the White Lotus Sect is in the Ming Dynasty, it is not under the constraints of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect is the people of the Ming Dynasty, but it is protected by the holy light of our sect, all karma and good fortune, all the wrong and evil causes, there is the White Lotus Mingjian, the king of the world, how can I judge the indiscriminate of my people?

There are many unjust cases in the government, but I, Bailian, have never let go of a wicked person, let alone wronged a good person.

As Governor Duan said, I teach the good people, and I don't bother with the adults.

Not only the grandson, but also the sister and brother, as well as the sacred dog who stood up to protect the sect, the old man will take them away today.

Or are you going to detain me as an old man? ”

Every word is heart-wrenching!

Throughout thousands of years in China, no sect dared to talk to the government like this, even if he was holding back the great evil in his heart, when he saw the officials who represented the emperor, he could only be obedient everywhere!

But this Elder Liu, who is so hard-hearted, so hard-hearted that the Jinyi Guard, hearing these rebellious words that are tantamount to splitting the territory and splitting the land, he dared to be angry for a while!

Just because he was Elder Liu, one of the best elders in the White Lotus Sect, and because there were so many disciples in the White Lotus Sect, there were even a considerable number of disciples!

Who dares to guarantee what happened to this old man here today, and those believers who believe in madness will have another civil unrest? Who can afford this kind of thing?

Jinyiwei, who symbolizes the emperor's authority, is silent, Zhang Wancheng is silent, and Zou Yu is also silent when he considers the wording in his heart, but some people will not be silent, in his heart, the orthodox Chinese imperial power cannot tolerate any blasphemy!

"Old horseman! How dare you say such arrogant words!

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!

You are dressed in cloth, and you keep saying the holy light of the white lotus, and the official asks you, where is the holy light?

You are an old man, you keep saying that there is no evil person in Bailian, the official came to ask you, June 13, the eighteen people in Zhangjiazhen were tragically killed, and even the baby in the swaddling clothes was smashed into meat puree, and the good girl in the boudoir was insulted to death by the beasts! That Zhang is famous for his kindness, and he was burned alive in front of his house by your White Lotus bandits, one by one!

That's what you mean by a good churchman? Phew! You deserve it too!

O old horseman! This official is fighting with a thousand knives today, and this case is also settled! ”

As soon as Duan Hong's words came out, not to mention others, even Zhu Ding, who was in a big mood to see the excitement, was moved, don't look at him just a day after he arrived in Mingzhou City, but the tragedy in Duan's prefect's mouth, he really heard Old Man Fang mention it.

It's nothing more than the town to do evil, and has been punished many times by Zhang Yuanwai, not only did he not repent, but he held a grudge, just a month ago, when the White Lotus Sect gathered in the city on a large scale, the splash skin didn't know what means he used to infiltrate the teaching team, and he became a small leader in charge of thirty teaching soldiers.

Once I gain power, I will take the wrong place; Zhang Yuanwai's family was killed by him all over the house that night!

After the White Lotus Sect dispersed among the people, Governor Duan arrested Na Popi and several nearby sect soldiers under great pressure, but unfortunately, no matter how they were interrogated, they did not ask about the whereabouts of the others; It's not that those splashes are so tough, it's just that the composition of the White Lotus Sect is too loose and can't be checked.

A few months ago, Zhu Ding had heard the opening sentence of the Duan Governor's Mansion in his hometown, which was what Xu Zhi had said to the crown prince who was pretending to be the king of Hades.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!"

One said it was miserable, the other said the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and there was no shame in the heart, even if it was full of foul language, it could shock people's hearts.

Zhu Ding couldn't help but admire this seemingly sassy, but actually upright old man.

Elder Liu still looked unfazed, as if Duan Hong's mouthful of old horsemen was not talking about him, but someone else.

Or he didn't bother to argue with Duan Hong, he just shook his head gently, as if it was casual and contemptuous, and then he waved behind him, and the half team of White Lotus Sect soldiers in front of the carriage walked in this direction.

Zou Yu looked at the seven instructors who came from Shi Shiran, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump.

It's not because he can't see the depth of those seven people with his skills, even if they are all rare first-class players, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the five hundred Jinyi guards who have a good battle formation. Rather, he can't really do it unless he has to!

He swept towards Zhu Ding again, and when he saw Zhu Ding's movement towards him, which seemed to wipe his neck, his heart was bitter.

"Wait!"

Whether it's nonsense, I don't know the depth, it's already at this time, between this kind of dispute, he really doesn't have any good way, since he has been on the boat of the little master, since he is ready to hug the little master's thigh, he is resigned to fate, and can only pray in his heart, if there is really a basket today, this child's status in the hearts of the big man can cover him and cover him!

Can Zhu Ding cover him in this matter? Zhu Ding didn't think about it, he just didn't want the White Lotus Sect to have a good time, but he was still sure that he would leave Zou Yu with a small life.

The more than 500 Jinyi guards present were just stunned, and their eyes looked at the actual chief official Zhang Wancheng, but Zhang Wancheng watched the non-existent ant under his feet move wholeheartedly.

"I am the highest-ranking person in the city's Jinyi Guard, and this official will take care of urgent matters, wait!"

Zou Yu's body is weak, and the voice he shouts is naturally not very loud, but his words that seem to be squeezed out of his throat seem to have some kind of magic, or it is just limited by military regulations, more than 500 brocade guards neatly raise the embroidered spring knife in their hands, and the blade can be unsheathed at any time!

Governor Duan's face became even more solemn, but his eyes were full of relief.

Elder Liu's face was finally ugly but faintly looking forward to it, although he still underestimated the maintenance of imperial power by Governor Duan and Zou Yu, but he very much hoped that the battle would really happen, even if it was his old life!

As soon as the situation is about to erupt, the seven masters disguised as instructors are about to come closer.

At this time, I heard a soft cry from the carriage, and I couldn't distinguish between men and women, but it was very beautiful.

A very delicate-looking young man got down from the carriage, swaying the folding fan in his hand, dignified and chic.

He quickly overtook the seven people who stopped on the road, came to Elder Liu's side, saluted seriously, and then bowed deeply to Governor Duan's mansion:

"The students dare to ask the prefect, what is the crime of the person who unintentionally harasses the foreign envoy but is injured by the evil slave?"

Governor Duan knew that this person must be a figure in the White Lotus Sect, but he didn't know the purpose of his question, so he replied with a frown:

"Those who picket unintentionally and have no major faults will be punished for ten, but if the incident is caused and they are invaded, the sentence will be changed to half a month's imprisonment, a fine of five taels of silver, and the perpetrator will be guilty of the same crime."

After hearing this, the young man did not hesitate, took out ten taels of silver from his arms, and respectfully handed it to the Duan prefect: "The fine students are willing to pay on their behalf, and the surplus also ask the adults to explain to the jailer to give this grandson more broadband, it is not easy for the old and the young, not to mention, the Ming does not offend the elderly, and please take care of the adults." ”

Subsequently, he said solemnly: "The student has heard that the people do not raise the case and the officials do not hold them accountable, dare to ask the adults if this is possible?" ”

Duan Hong pondered for a moment, and then understood what the young man meant, and his heart was a little confused for a while, so he simply nodded yes.

The young man turned to Elder Liu and said, "There is Elder Lao. ”

Elder Liu let out a long sigh and asked, "What did Gongzi teach you?" ”

The boy bowed in agreement.

Elder Liu looked at the sword-rattling Jinyi Guard, his expression was lost, and then he looked at the Goryeo prince who was still looking down at his bleeding wound, and asked calmly: "Old man dares to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, how did your injury come about?" ”

The prince of Goryeo was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, why are you still running to me?

When he opened his mouth, he was about to tell the truth, but his captain of the guard, Pabhu Libing, replied in standard Chinese: "Returning to the noble White Lotus Messenger, the injury on my prince's body was accidentally fallen; The Oiran sister and brother, the prince was also going to let go, not as a fugitive slave. ”

Hearing his accosting, the young man saluted to Governor Duan again with a smile on his face, and without saying much, he turned around and left.
