The newly built Tiannan Provincial Governor's Mansion is much simpler than the previous palatial manor. The new governor Xie Guangxi is not an extravagant and wasteful person, and the office yamen and the small courtyard where he lives are only more than one acre of land.

Just finished a busy day, Xie Guangxi rubbed his eyebrows and walked to the backyard. Recently, there have been too many official documents in Tiannan Province, and even this old courtier, who has a good name, feels exhausted.

When he returned home, a few plates of home-cooked side dishes had been prepared, and after Xie Guangxi finished eating in three or two bites, he took the hot towel prepared by his wife and covered his face.

It is his personal habit to sleep after eating, because when he wakes up, he has to correct official documents all night, and he can't sleep until at least the third watch. Then the fifth watch will wake up and prepare to go to the yamen office.

It can be said that Tiannan Province can have today's stability, and the new governor accounts for seven successful labors. It's just that tonight, the old wife said to Xie Guangxi a little unbearably: "Master, Fei'er is back." ”

Tearing the towel off his face, Xie Guangxi frowned and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

Xie Fei is Xie Guangxi's youngest son.

Xie Guangxi has three sons, the eldest son is now a noble teacher in Taixue, although he has no relationship with officialdom in this life, his status in the court is not low, and he is the "teacher" of many high-ranking officials and nobles. The second son is a doctor who opened a pharmacy in the capital, and his life is stable.

Only these three sons wanted to take the imperial examination, but they were stopped by Xie Guangxi, and as a result, he was angry and practiced martial arts and became a martial arts ranger. Later, he worshiped in Baiyun Temple and changed his name to Xie Feiyun.

The father and son have a deep contradiction, Xie Fei and have not been home for many years, and suddenly appeared today, I don't think it will be to release their suspicions.

The old wife sighed and said, "Master, Fei'er came with the Taoist of Baiyun Temple, and I heard that Fei'er competed with others and was abolished for martial arts. ”

Xie Guangxi's face did not change, but his palm squeezed the towel tightly. After a while, Xie Guangxi said, "Let him wait for me in the study." ”

Xie Guangxi did not go directly to the study to see his son, but according to his usual habits, he slept for half an hour first, and then slowly walked to the study.

In the study, Qingsheng Zhenren and Xie Feiyun were already waiting a little impatiently.

As soon as he entered the door, Xie Guangxi saw his son Xie Feiyun pacing back and forth in the study, and Qingsheng Zhenren kept picking up and putting down the teacup until he saw Xie Guangxi appear.

Xie Guangxi remained silent, sat down at the desk and picked up an official document and began to read it.

Xie Feiyun couldn't help but feel angry when he saw his father's behavior, and said loudly: "We haven't seen father and son for several years, so you can't let go of your official duties and call me?" ”

Xie Guangxi said without raising his head: "Among the three outlines and five constants, how can there be a reason for my father to speak first, you have forgotten all the sage books over the years?" ”

Xie Feiyun laughed angrily and said, "Hahaha, what's the use of me reading so many books back then? I wanted to take the imperial examination, but you kept stopping me, if you hadn't forced me, I would have become what I am today? ”

Xie Guangxi slapped his desk and scolded: "If you study only for the imperial examination, and then enjoy the blessings of becoming an official, then you are reading the sage book to the dog." ”

Xie Feiyun didn't shrink his head, he had been afraid of his father since he was a child, because this person had never smiled at him. Old-fashioned, stern, reprimanding and beating the board at every turn, this is his impression of Xie Guangxi.

Now that he was scolded, Xie Feiyun was scared at first, but then he was even more angry, and roared: "You are your own governor, but you don't let me be an official, you are such a father?" You have never treated me as your son, so what right do you have to rebuke me? ”

Xie Guangxi looked at his hoarse son, and still didn't change much of his expression, but said indifferently: "If you really don't recognize me, what are you doing here?" ”

"You!" Xie Feiyun's face was red and white for a while, the injuries in his body were not all healed, but now he was so angry that he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Qingsheng Zhenren hurriedly supported Xie Feiyun and gave him a piece of true qi to soothe his internal injuries.

Xie Feiyun couldn't say a word, so he could only sit on the chair with a dead face. When Qingsheng Zhenren saw this, he spoke: "Governor Xie, it is always father and son, this family relationship where blood is thicker than water, you shouldn't be so indifferent, right?" ”

When Xie Feiyun heard this, he felt that his master Qingsheng Zhenren was really closer than his father.

Xie Guangxi didn't answer this sentence, but asked Qingsheng Zhenren: "The Taoist chief came to see me, what is the matter, you might as well say it directly." I'm busy with business here, so I don't have time to fight with you. ”

Qingsheng Zhenren frowned, this Governor Xie is too faceless, Baiyunguan is one of the seven factions in the world, he is still Xie Feiyun's master, why is he not even polite?

But he couldn't walk away, this time he did have something to ask for.

"Governor Xie, of course I am here to seek justice for my apprentice Feiyun. Do you know who he was injured by that his martial arts were all useless? Kiyomori said righteously.

"Who is it?" Xie Guangxi asked.

"Kongsang Mountain Imperial Sword Sect, the people of this sect are despicable and shameless, and they used the means of the next three indiscriminate means to plot against Feiyun, so that he lost all his martial arts. Governor Xie, you are his father, aren't you going to help him avenge him? Kiyomori asked.

"The Taoist chief is a monk, and he also pays attention to retribution?" Xie Guangxi asked.

"Of course, repaying grievances directly has always been the principle of our Baiyun Temple." Kiyomori replied.

"Daoist, you are so sure, you should have been there at the time, right?" Xie Guangxi asked.

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes." Kiyomori said with certainty.

"In that case, tomorrow I will order the Kongsang County Commander to investigate this matter, and ask the Taoist Chief to make a record, and when the time is to raise the court, I will also ask the Taoist Chief to testify in court." Xie Guangxi said.

When Kiyomori heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and asked, "That's it?" ”

"Or else? Since you said that you used unfair means to harm people's lives in the competition, as long as the evidence is conclusive, of course I will seek justice for the dog. Since you are his master and an eyewitness, isn't it natural for you to confront the people of the Imperial Sword Gate face to face? ”

"However, the people of the Imperial Sword Gate are extremely cunning, and I am afraid that they will not be able to convict them at all just by fighting a lawsuit. Or, Governor Xie, you think of something more effective? Kiyomori hinted.

Xie Guangxi finally raised his head, stared at Qingsheng Zhenren and said, "Dao Chief, I respect you as Fei'er's master, I can take this sentence as if I heard it." But if there is a next time, don't blame the official for doing business. ”

Qingsheng Zhenren only then understood, this Xie Guangxi was unwilling to help his son deal with the Imperial Sword Gate? He was really shocked, how is this a father, his own son has been abolished, and he, as the governor of a province, doesn't even dare to let out a fart?

Dare to say so much just now, this person is completely regarded as a joke?

Qingsheng Zhenren was furious, and the momentum brought by returning to the virtual realm was unreservedly released, pressing towards Xie Guangxi. He had to teach this Governor Xie a lesson, otherwise Baiyunguan's face would really be lost.

However, just as he was about to put pressure on Xie Guangxi, the Governor, who looked to be old and decrepit, let out a cold snort. This sound was like a flood bell Da Lu, which directly crushed the momentum of Qing Sheng Zhenren, and it buzzed in his ears.

"What a strong cultivation!"

Kiyomori Zhenren only felt that his true qi vortex had been thrown into a boulder, and his true qi was instantly disordered. A mouthful of reverse blood spurted out, and Qingsheng Zhenren fell to the ground like Xie Feiyun.

"You...... You're ...... It's also a return to the realm?! Kiyomori said a little inarticulately. Half of them were scared, and the other half were so badly injured that they had already injured their meridians.

Xie Guangxi is not only a return to the void, but also a return to the void that is several times stronger than Qingsheng Zhenren, otherwise he must not be injured with a cold snort, but it will not affect Xie Feiyun next to him. This cultivation is not much better than that of the White Cloud Observation Lord.

"Daoist Qingsheng, you attacked the imperial court officials just now, and I can take you into custody. But I remember that you are guilty of your first offense, and this time you are not to blame for the past, so you can do it yourself. Xie Guangxi waved his hand, and Qingsheng Zhenren felt a whirlwind rise and push him out of the study.

This hand is similar to Jiang Wanren's casual dispatch of the elders of the Kongsang Sect.

Xie Feiyun looked at this scene in a daze, he never knew that his father was actually a master of returning to the virtual realm, and he was able to beat the Qingsheng real people of Baiyun Temple to the point that he was powerless. In his impression, Xie Guangxi has never practiced martial arts, but is just a "clean official" who is obsessed with official duties all day long.

Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, this Qing official explicitly forbade his three sons to enter politics, one to be a teacher, the other to be a doctor, and the remaining unconvinced Xie Yunfei wanted to take the imperial examination, but he was forcibly pressed by him and could not be on the list, so he had to live in the rivers and lakes.

Xie Yunfei thought to himself, how much effort and hardships he had spent and suffered in order to practice martial arts, but his own father turned out to be one of the top masters in the world, but he never planned to teach himself martial arts?

Looking at Xie Guangxi with extremely resentful eyes, Xie Feiyun was really dead this time.

What kind of father is this? I'm afraid I didn't pick it up, right?

Xie Guangxi drove away Qingsheng Zhenren, and he was not afraid of his son's gaze, just like his way of being an official. There is never anything to feel guilty about.

It's just that seeing his son's tragic situation now, he finally sighed and said to Xie Feiyun: "I know you hate me, you thought you could win the championship, but I took your name down." This matter can be regarded as sorry for you for the father. ”

Xie Feiyun gritted his teeth and asked, "I want to know why?" ”

"There are two reasons, one is that your temperament and intelligence are not suitable for being an official at all. Second, because your original champion was originally fake. Xie Guangxi explained.

"No way, I checked all the candidates' test papers at the beginning, and my essay is the undisputed first. It's clear that you deliberately made me fall off the list! Xie Feiyun said unwillingly.

"When you were able to take the first test, it was because the candidates who were better than you were threatened and lured, and all of them didn't dare to do better than you! The reason why you were able to write that article was that someone leaked the topic to you in advance half a month ago, and specially found a famous teacher to guide you. As a result, you thought you were lucky, guessed the exam questions, and wrote the splendid article by yourself.

"Fei'er, do you think you're really the best talent? It's just that those people in the ministry want to pull their father into the water. When they give you a champion, they actually want to seize the handle of the father and make me collude with them.

"You can't even see this clearly, letting you become an official in the court will only make my Xie family ruined!"

It was the first time Xie Guangxi said so much to his son and said such an in-depth topic, but now it was like a sharp knife stabbing into Xie Feiyun's heart. I don't even have the best talent, all of them are traps set by others?

Isn't the pride that I have insisted on for so many years ridiculous?

"No, it's not like that, it must not be like this." Xie Feiyun couldn't accept this truth at all.

"If you don't believe it, you can check the files of the year, after your scientific examination, thirteen officials of the Ministry of Officials were imprisoned because of their favoritism, and one of them was your teacher." Xie Guangxi continued.

"How is this possible, this is impossible!" Xie Feiyun muttered to himself that he felt that his life was about to collapse.

"Fei'er, you are my son, how can there be a father in the world who doesn't want to see his son's excellence. But none of you three brothers has the talent to be an official. Do you think that by relying on your father's relationship in the court, you will be able to rise to prominence? This officialdom is like the deep sea, it looks calm, but in fact it is turbulent, and if you are not careful, it will be the end of the Nine Clans.

"When the crown prince of the dynasty, he was supposed to ascend the throne as the emperor, but in just a few months, the situation was completely reversed, and even his life was lost. Even the current status of the father is walking on thin ice. This Wu Dynasty seems to be prosperous, but in fact it has long been weakened. As a father, I only hope that you can live this life in peace, and I don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. ”

Xie Guangxi's words were so profound that Xie Feiyun burst into tears. After so many years, did he really blame his father? However, if his father really loves him, why is he unwilling to help him avenge his martial arts loss?

Xie Feiyun asked in a hoarse voice, "Dad, then why don't you help me?" My son now knows that he was wrong, as long as you help me avenge me, I will sincerely repent and never think about the past again. ”

Xie Guangxi looked at this little son, couldn't help but sigh again, and asked, "Fei'er, let me ask you, is your injury really because the people of the Imperial Sword Gate used three indiscriminate means against you?" ”

"Of course ......" As soon as he said two words, Xie Feiyun couldn't say any more.

He knew the ins and outs of this matter in his own heart. It's true to say that Squirrel Hang used tricks, but to say that the other party is plotting against himself is pure slander.

"Fei'er, can't you see clearly, you are the same as when you took the imperial examination. Baiyunguan treats you as a pawn and wants your father to deal with the Imperial Sword Gate. ”

"No, Master has always been very good to me!" Xie Feiyun insisted.

"If you don't believe, then you will make a bet with you for your father's sake. If you win, I will repair the meridians for you and ensure that your martial arts are better than before. If you lose, come home with me, and don't mess around again. How is it? ”

"Dad, what do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet on Baiyunguan's thoughts, you can now follow Qingsheng Taoist to leave, and say that I will kick you out of the house. Within three days, there will be results. When the time comes, you will understand. Xie Guangxi said.

"Okay, I'm betting!" After Xie Feiyun finished speaking, regardless of his injuries, he left the study with weak steps.

Xie Guangxi looked at his son's back and sighed heavily for the third time. Sitting back on the desk, Xie Guangxi took out a copy of those official documents, and the three words "Yujian Gate" on the cover were clearly visible. Xie Guangxi read the above content carefully, and then approved a "may" on the official document, and then stamped his seal.
