Different locations? Different positions? Perhaps.

Although he still can't accept Xiao Yue's evaluation of Song Yangxu, maybe it's just a girl who was saved in despair, and it's just the imagination of a hero in her heart.

However, since this little maid is so innocent, kind and assertive, at least it shows that Song Yangxu still takes special care of her.

From this point of view, he also seems to be a flesh-and-blood man.

In the evening, Song Yangxu took Yunxin through the paths and came to a simple thatched house. There were two guards standing outside the door.

Yun Xin looked at the house in front of him in surprise, could it be that Lord Zhao was imprisoned in such a place?

It's completely different from the layers of prisons and airtight cells in my imagination!

Hearing the voice outside the door, an old man in the house calmly responded, "Young Master Song, don't bother thinking anymore, I won't hand over the list to you, the old man is ready." ”

The voice was vicissitudes and firm, and Yun Xin could almost imagine Lord Zhao's unbending face.

Song Yangxu smiled, "Lord Zhao, I invited you here from the closed courtyard to express your sincerity, you might as well see someone before making a decision." ”

"See someone?"

Lord Zhao's voice was full of suspicion.

Yun Xin walked in. Entering the door, Yun Xin finally saw the upright and honest county magistrate.

Lord Zhao sat on the ground, the white prison uniform he was wearing was full of whip marks, his dark and chapped skin showed traces of wind and frost, a few strands of white hair on his sideburns were scattered, and his sword eyebrows were cold, and his eyes were slightly surprised when he saw a girl in his prime walk in.

Yun Xin saluted respectfully, "Qingyue disciple Mo Yunxin, meet Lord Zhao!" ”

"Are you from the Blue Moon Sect?"

"Exactly! The disciple was ordered by the bishop and King Luo Cheng to protect Lord Zhao. ”

After knowing the origin of Yun Xin, Lord Zhao didn't seem to want to communicate anymore.

"Young Master Song, whether it is the Zhisheng Hall or the Qingyue Sect, the old man will not change his mind, no need to say more."

Then he said to Yun Xin, "Girl, please go back!" ”

Yun Xin was not very surprised to see Lord Zhao's attitude, because he was an upright Qing official who was only loyal to the emperor, so he did not want to participate in any party.

However, it is precisely because of this that King Luo Cheng values him so much.

Yun Xin sat down beside Lord Zhao. Lord Zhao closed his eyes and ignored him.

After half an hour of silence, Lord Zhao realized that this girl didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Girl, I think my attitude has been expressed very clearly, even if you are here all the time, I will not go with you."

Yun Xin replied, "The order Yun Xin received was to protect Lord Zhao, and it has nothing to do with Lord Zhao's attitude. ”

Hearing this, Lord Zhao was a little speechless by Yun Xin.

The two fell silent again in the thatched hut. The stalemate lasted until the evening.

……………

Lord Zhao couldn't sit still, and he didn't give in at all to their torture, but the current calm was very tormenting, and he really didn't understand what the intentions of the people of the Qingyue Sect were.

“…… Miss Yunxin, right, the old man is ready to be murdered by them, but the evidence and list must be presented to the emperor. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Yun Xin nodded, but was still unmoved.

"The old man is old, even if you send someone to protect me, it is meaningless. So you still don't waste time on the old man. ”

Yun Xin just listened, and didn't react at all.

Lord Zhao felt very puzzled, his intention not to participate in any party had been clearly expressed, why did the people of the Qingyue Sect still insist on staying here?

Lord Zhao sighed, "......... In that case, girl, why don't you tell me what your purpose is? ”

Yun Xin bowed and replied, "Lord Zhao, the purpose of the Qingyue Sect is very simple, that is, to protect the incorruptible and capable ministers in the world like Lord Zhao. ”

"Nengchen?"

Lord Zhao stroked his beard and smiled, full of self-deprecation.

"The old man can't even protect the people of Chaodu County! The people are living in poverty, and the old man, as a county magistrate, cannot create a peaceful and happy life for them! I can only see these living people being oppressed and humiliated by the government! You say I'm a capable minister? This is a ridiculous joke! ”

Lord Zhao became more and more excited, and Yun Xin could feel Lord Zhao's resentment and dissatisfaction with the current government.

"The evidence and list of officials who have taken great pains to collect the old man must not fall into the hands of others! The old man wants the emperor to see it, let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers see it, and let the people of the world see the ugly faces of these people! ”

Lord Zhao's voice was deafening, and he couldn't help but make Yun Xin respect the old man in front of him who was over half a hundred years old.

"Master Zhao," Yun Xin said, "Disciple Yun Xin is only a shallow learner, and I have a question I would like to ask Lord Zhao." ”

Lord Zhao looked at Yun Xin.

"What is a peaceful and well-being life?"

"Naturally, there is plenty of food and clothing, and the people are harmonious!"

"How?"

"The government is the master of the people!"

Yun Xin smiled faintly, "Lord Zhao, what do you think of the current government?" ”

"Corruption is rampant! Incompetence! ”

"You can see it pretty clearly, don't you? How does the current government treat the people, and what is the government? It was the hand of the current emperor, and now that the hand has festered, do you really think that the emperor is completely ignorant of this? ”

"How dare you be disrespectful to the emperor!"

Yun Xin's bold remarks poked Lord Zhao's heart.

"Yun Xin is just expressing himself, the emperor is not ignorant of the festering of his hands, but he has already avoided medical treatment!"

Lord Zhao was thoughtful, and Yun Xin continued, "Lord Zhao, the disciple said that this is not to persuade you to join any party, but to remind you that no matter what predicament you are facing at the moment, you have a heart for the people, and you are an official worthy of respect and admiration. ”

Lord Zhao also slowly calmed down, and no longer rejected Yun Xin as before.

“…… The old man never wanted to ask for the admiration of the people, but only to be worthy of his heart......"

"If you want to do the good of the people with your own hands, don't give up your life lightly! Stay in the green mountains, there must be a day when the clouds and mist are cleared and the moon is bright. ”

Lord Zhao no longer refuted, and began to think about what he could do for the people after he had exhausted half of his life? What else can be done for the people? Is there any point in being brave for the sake of one's own principles and loyalty.........

Seeing this, Yun Xin stopped talking, maybe Lord Zhao needed to think quietly at this moment.

As a disciple of Qingyue, Yun Xin only wants to complete the tasks assigned by his master, but as an ordinary person, Yun Xin also wants to protect a virtuous minister like Lord Zhao.

Evidence and lists are life-threatening for those corrupt officials.

And Lord Zhao himself is a priceless treasure that can truly rule the world!
