Chapter 291: Is This Your Morality?
Xie Guangxi once thought about meeting Xu Lin, maybe Xu Lin went to the Governor's Mansion to question himself, or maybe it was Xie Guangxi's soldiers when he led a large army to surround Kongsang Mountain. But he really didn't expect Xu Lin to sit in his study so quietly, waiting for him to come back.
Although Xie Guangxi was surprised, he did not panic, and calmly sat opposite Xu Lin and asked, "Kong Sanbo is visiting, why don't you find someone to spread the word first?" ”
"Don't call me an earl, I, Xu Lin, have always been just a Jianghu person. You can call me Master Xu, and even think it's okay for me to call Xu Lin when I'm young. Xu Lin said in a solemn tone.
Xie Guangxi didn't care, and changed his words: "Then I don't know if Master Xu is visiting, what's the matter?" ”
Xu Lin took out the Dan Fang of the Five Immortal Sect and put it on the desk.
Xie Guangxi glanced at it and said strangely: "I asked a friend to study this recipe on my behalf, why is it in your hands?" ”
Xie Guangxi admitted it so frankly, which was really unexpected by Xu Lin.
"Do you know the efficacy of this pill?" Xu Lin asked.
"Of course I know, this is the Danfang that I asked my friends to help develop. If this elixir is taken by those who practice martial arts, it will block the meridians, and the internal force and true qi cultivation will not be able to advance an inch, but it will not hurt the body, but can dispel illness and strengthen the body. Xie Guangxi replied more frankly.
Xu Lin laughed angrily, feeling that this old man was really surprising. Xu Lin also imagined what it would be like to meet Xie Guangxi, but he definitely didn't expect that the other party would answer all questions, and he would be so sincere. Can't he see that he's here to kill him?
Or did Xie Guangxi think he didn't dare to kill him?
"Since Governor Xie knows the effect of this pill, it seems that he intends to spread this poison in Tiannan?"
"This is not a poison, as I said, this is a healthy elixir, which is beneficial and harmless to people." Xie Guangxi said very seriously, as if he believed it all.
"If you take this pill, you can no longer practice martial arts, and you actually say that it is harmless and beneficial?" Xu Lin asked.
Of course, it is harmless and beneficial, the people of the rivers and lakes are strong in martial arts, brave and ruthless all day long, and those who do not abide by the law and kill innocents indiscriminately abound. If this elixir can be promoted, wouldn't it be the greatest benefit if there are no such people in the world who violate discipline and law? Xie Guangxi said as a matter of course.
"There are no more martial arts practitioners in the world, and then when the barbarians invade, will they sell the people of Tiannan Province as slaves again? Governor Xie, you keep saying that you abide by the law, when the crown prince trafficked people, which law of the Wu Dynasty did you follow? Xu Lin asked in a cold voice.
"The prince trafficked in human beings, you have evidence, if the human and material evidence is complete, this governor can give you justice. Since the Governor took office, he has investigated 112 unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and all of them have been punished by the canonical punishment of all people, and there has never been any favoritism.
"But that's not the reason for you to set up a private torture hall and kill innocents indiscriminately!"
Having said this, Xu Lin understood that the two positions were completely different, and there was no possibility of anyone convincing whom.
Xie Guangxi is an old-fashioned person, he may really be as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, the so-called reversal of injustice is by no means boasting, maybe the number is less than what he said.
But how did these hundreds of unjust, false and wrongful cases in Tiannan Province come about, doesn't Xie Guangxi know? Everything is a party struggle, and it is the prince's desire to stabilize his power that makes Tiannan erosive to this point.
Doesn't Xie Guangxi know? Of course he knew, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything if he wasn't in his position, so he never asked. It wasn't until he was appointed governor of Tiannan Province that he felt qualified to take care of these things.
Xu Lin had to admit that he was a clean official, and he was still a capable clean official, everything Xie Guangxi did was done in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, even if this elixir would destroy the martial arts, Xie Guangxi also specifically required that the effect of the medicine should not harm human health.
Because in his opinion, the elimination of martial arts is a good thing, and a good thing cannot harm people, and the people must be benefited. This elixir, ordinary people take it to strengthen their health, but they can only be an ordinary person forever.
Xu Lin admired such an official a little, but he couldn't accept it. Because there is only one Xie Guangxi in the whole world, I have never heard of it before, and it is unlikely that there will be another one in the future. Even if there is a second one, the world is so big, how can you manage it, and you can't be the emperor.
When corrupt officials take office, this elixir will no longer be beneficial and harmless, but will give the people another shackle.
And of course, Xie Guangxi also knows this truth, but he won't think about it, because it is "possible". Xie Guangxi doesn't like this statement, he is upright and old-fashioned, only looking at the present, only looking at the empirical evidence.
The so-called future possibilities are not within the scope of his consideration.
This is the difference between his position and Xu Lin, and it is impossible to convince the other party with words.
"Governor Xie, it's useless to talk more, you should also know that I am here to take your life." Xu Lin said straight to the point.
"I know, but this governor is also curious, if Master Xu wants to kill me, he should do it quietly, just like those assassins before, why do you still sit in front of this governor and talk nonsense?" Xie Guangxi asked rhetorically.
"Because I'm afraid of killing the wrong good person, and I can confirm now that you can be considered a good official, but not a good person." Xu Lin replied.
"Hehe, it's not easy to be a good official, but I've never thought of being a good person."
"That's because you've never thought of yourself as an official, not as a common person."
Xu Lin's words made Xie Guangxi stunned, and after a while, he nodded and agreed: "Yes, this governor is a family of eunuchs, and if you want to say that you think you are a citizen, you are deceiving yourself." So, how is Master Xu going to kill me? ”
"Originally, I planned to use the assassination technique of the Qingjie Gate, and I was confident that I would do it without knowing it. But Governor Xie is a good official after all, and he can't die by such means. ”
Xu Lin stretched out his hand, and a Go board placed next to the bookshelf was grabbed by Xu Lin.
"As you just said, you have turned over one hundred and twelve unjust cases for Tiannan Province, if I can't win you before one hundred and twelve steps, then I will spare your life." Xu Lin said categorically.
Xie Guangxi looked at the chessboard and then at Xu Lin, not caring about his threats at all, only caring about one other thing.
"Master Xu, you are also a national Go player? The old man has not met an opponent for many years, and it has been itchy for a long time. ”
Xu Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know how to play chess, let alone a national player." Needless to say, let's get started. ”
In between, Xu Lin reached out and picked up a black chess piece on the chess box and pressed it on Tian Yuan's position.
came up to seize Tianyuan, this is indeed a performance of not being able to play chess. Xie Guangxi picked up a white piece and was about to drop it, but just halfway down, he heard a small cracking sound, and a layer of powder fell from the stone chess piece.
Taking a closer look, there were many fragments of sword qi lingering on the black chess pieces that Xu Lin had just fallen, enveloping the surrounding positions of two or three squares. If Xie Guangxi's son is placed in this range, I am afraid that he will be crushed by the sword qi.
This is not a test of chess strength at all, Xu Lin said that he won this game of chess before one hundred and twelve moves, and Xie Guangxi still felt that the other party was too big. If every chess piece of Xu Lin accounted for such a large range, Xie Guangxi would really lose.
Xie Guangxi could only infuse the same true qi into the chess pieces and press the chessboard. Xie Guangxi is also back to the virtual realm, and the martial arts realm is much stronger than the Qingsheng real people, this true qi is condensed on the chess pieces, although he is unable to fight back against Xu Lin's sword qi, but he can keep this white chess piece from being shattered by the sword qi.
Xu Lin didn't care either, and didn't continue to chase and fight hard against this white chess, although as long as he lost a piece, he would definitely be able to smash this white chess. Xu Lin chose a corner and placed another sunspot very casually.
Xie Guangxi did not continue to fight hard with Xu Lin this time, so he carefully followed the chess path of Go, and landed in the range away from the sunspot sword qi.
When he arrived at Xu Lin, he was not polite and left the sunspot near the second white seed. The sword qi spread, turning this chess piece into powder. Because this time, Xie Guangxi did not protect this chess piece with his true qi.
Xie Guangxi did not protest, in this game of chess, he was naturally far superior to Xu Lin in terms of chess strength, and Xu Lin was superior to him in terms of true qi. The competition between the two is in this one hundred and twelve steps. As long as Xie Guangxi can sustain these one hundred and twelve steps, he will naturally be able to win against Xu Lin's chaos.
If Xie Guangxi can't hold on, then he will definitely die.
The two of them alternately fall, as long as Xie Guangxi protects the chess pieces with his true qi, Xu Lin will not press every step, and only make random moves on the chessboard. But if Xie Guangxi had a son who didn't need to be protected by true qi, Xu Lin would not hesitate to smash the opponent's chess pieces.
Thirty or forty steps down, Shiroko's great dragon had already formed, but Kuroko was defeated and defeated. However, by this time, Xie Guangxi's speed was getting slower and slower, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
On the contrary, Xu Lin was still relaxed and freehand, and pressed down when he caught the chess piece.
At the fiftieth step, Xie Guangxi pinched Baizi, but he couldn't put it down. Because he wanted to eat a black seed under Xu Lin, so that his big dragon could be connected. It is rare for a master's Go game to have a mention, but Xu Lin is a mess, and Xie Guangxi has to mention it according to the normal chess path.
After thinking about it again and again, in fact, there was no other choice, Xie Guangxi could only use all his strength to infuse the true qi into the chess pieces, and then press it next to the sunspot.
This press almost exhausted Xie Guangxi's whole body strength. Shiroko fell, forcibly cutting into the side of Kuroko, forming a smothering momentum.
Xie Guangxi was breathing a sigh of relief, and when he was about to raise the child, he heard a crisp sound from the chessboard, and the beech chessboard couldn't withstand the collision of this true qi, and it was directly broken. The black and white pieces on top made a continuous crisp sound as the broken chessboard landed on the table.
When the dust settled, Xie Guangxi saw that only Xu Lin's black chess pieces were left on the table, and all the white chess pieces he had played before were shattered.
"Admit it, I won this game." Xu Lin said to Xie Guangxi.
Xie Guangxi closed his eyes and said helplessly: "The skills are not as good as others, the old man admits defeat." ”
"Then please Governor Xie on the road, don't worry, I will never attack your family if it doesn't hurt my wife and children." Xu Lin assured Xie Guangxi.
Xie Guangxi showed a miserable smile, and then said: "Master Xu is also a gentleman, and the old man also gave him a word before he died. ”
"Please."
"Your Majesty has officially ordered the world to ban martial arts, even if you kill me, you can't stop Your Majesty's new policy. The old man only hopes that you will either rebel directly or retire completely, and don't sway from side to side and make the world even more miserable. This is the first time that the old man has really regarded himself as a person, please consider it carefully. ”
After saying this, Xie Guangxi closed his eyes and lost his breath.
In fact, there is no need for Xu Lin to do it at all, this game of chess just now has exhausted Xie Guangxi's true qi at the thirtieth move, and the next twenty moves are supported by his overdrawn life. Now that the oil has long run out, after saying these few words, Xie Guangxi has no life.
Xu Lin lifted Xie Guangxi's body up and solemnly placed it on the collapse. Although this governor is not in the same position as himself, he can be regarded as a fair and honest person in this life, and even if he takes his own life, he must not lose his courtesy.
After doing this, Xu Lin thought carefully about Xie Guangxi's words before he died, and then carved a sentence on the wall with his finger: "Murderer, Xu Lin of the Imperial Sword Gate." ”
After leaving the word, Xu Lin bowed to Xie Guangxi's body again and said to him: "Governor Xie, you are right, either rebel or retreat, otherwise the people of the world will only suffer more." Since this is the case, Xu can only rebel. ”
After doing all this, Xu Lin left the Governor's Palace.
Until noon, a servant came to invite Xie Guangxi to lunch, but found that he was lying on the couch without a sound, and in a panic, he saw the words on the wall again, and he was almost scared to death. The old governor's mansion had just been burned, and this had just been replaced with a new one, but the governor himself had been killed, and it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
This is an earth-shattering case, the whole city was under martial law, Xu Lin became the world's most wanted criminal, and the title of earl was deprived, as long as it was found, it could be corrected on the spot. At the same time, the Edgeworth Gate was also recognized as a rebel and ordered the Tiannan Province to send a large army to exterminate it.
After making such a big commotion, Xu Lin did not leave the capital, but came to the Second Prince's Mansion when it was not dark.
The second prince sat opposite Xu Lin with a bitter expression.
"Does it have to be that way?" The second prince asked.
"Your Highness should know very well what the emperor wants to do, you can't stop it, I can only do it myself." Xu Lin said frankly.
The second prince sighed, he was also extremely disappointed in his father. He never thought that his father would be such a paranoid person, not only because he was jealous and plotted against King Zhaoyang, but also because he wanted to ban martial arts in the world because of his great achievements.
"Then Brother Xu, what do you want to do with me?" The second prince asked.
"It's just a moral notice." Xu Lin said.
"It's like you came to inform me before you killed Xie Guangxi? Who are you going to kill this time? The second prince asked.
Before Xu Lin sent a letter over, saying that he wanted to kill Xie Guangxi, the second prince originally wanted to make peace in the middle, but later he was placed under house arrest by the emperor, so he knew that this matter could not be good, so he didn't care.
"Who else, of course, is the emperor." Xu Lin said frankly.
The second prince didn't know what to say, and said in front of his son that he wanted to kill his father, is this your morality?
