Chapter 82: Something Happened, I'll Take It
If someone does something against the norm and doesn't care about letting you watch, what is the result?
Liu Jin's heart seemed to have fallen into ice.
The prison is a very tightly guarded place, there are too many secrets held here, and it is closely guarded on weekdays, let alone a table of food, even a fly will be strictly checked.
As for doing things with such fanfare as Zhou Huan, no matter how much you cover it up, it will be noticed afterwards, and this can only show one thing, that is, this matter does not need to be covered up.
A person who is stared at to death by civil and military officials, and a person who is concerned by the Son of Heaven, is as easy as entering and exiting the prison in and out of his own courtyard, if this kind of thing is poked out, I don't know how many people will lose their heads!
This is even more powerful than Chen Yunying's killing of the imperial court officials back then, because this represents an organization's infiltration of the imperial court.
"Father-in-law Liu, thank you for coming to visit me in the prison, I don't know what you are doing?"
Zhou Huan's words made Liu Jin smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty asked me to come and see you, and bring you a message, so that you can reflect on it for a while in the prison. ”
"What?"
"It's not a big deal to keep your head down and admit your mistakes. ”
"I see. ”
Zhou Huan's eyes fell on Su Qiaoer and asked, "Why did Miss Su come to prison?"
"My uncle wants to ask you if you know you're wrong, and he's willing to help you, but you have to understand what you're wrong with first. ”
Su Qiaoer also let go at this time, Liu Jin may be able to leave a life, but she will never be spared.
"Know your mistake and admit it?"
Zhou Huan also smiled, and his smile was very bright.
"I really don't know what's wrong with me, after I arrived in Beijing, I will abide by the law, operate reasonably, pay taxes according to the rules, and even give you a lot of money. ”
After saying this, Zhou Huanzai didn't pay attention to Su Qiaoer's thoughts, and stood up, and at this time, there were footsteps in the distance, and the person who came did not hide it in particular, and soon came to the front of the restaurant room.
There were ten people who came, including monks and Taoists, scholars and merchants, young girls, and martial artists, who glanced at Liu Jin and Su Qiaoer, and then saluted Zhou Huan together.
Liu Jin and Su Wan'er on the side were stunned, because they all knew these nine people, this is the leader of the nine major sects, some of these sects are incompatible, and some will never meet, but today, they came here.
Among them, if five people gather together, it means that something big is happening, and nine people appear together peacefully, which is almost impossible.
These are the Nine Great Sects.
The nine major schools that are regarded as thorns in the eyes of the imperial court can turn the world upside down.
Fortunately, the nine major sects are very well-behaved, and they are much better than the princes in some places, and they also abide by the law on weekdays, and the money and food that should be paid to the court are not less.
But this does not mean that there are no contradictions between the Nine Great Sects and the imperial court, on the contrary, the contradictions are extremely great.
There are always some people who were forced by the government to join the Nine Great Sects and then go back to take revenge, there are always some officials who set their sights on the industries of the Nine Great Sects, and there are always high-level leaders of the Nine Great Sects who were cut off by the government because of irreconcilable conflicts of interests.
But in any case, for more than a hundred years, the Nine Great Sects have been suppressed by the government, so that the court has an illusion that the Nine Great Sects do not dare to rebel, and they are afraid that their bottles and cans will be smashed and so on.
But is that really the case?
In Zhou Huan's world, most of the rebellions are dozens of people, or even a few farmers who rebel if they can't survive.
Successful rebellions start with organizations, so do the leaders of those organizations care that bottles and cans are smashed?
No, they lost just shackles, and if they succeeded, they would get the whole world.
A force needs to keep moving forward, it needs to provide a better vision for those below, and many organizations are rushing to rebel from the beginning, and these organizations can expand rapidly.
Each of the nine major sects is a master, with thousands of direct disciples, and the local princes who control a million people, and their mobilization ability is far stronger than that of the imperial court, and such a force has long rebelled in Zhou Huan's world.
Look at Liu Bang, the Three Kingdoms, the Tang and Song Dynasties, etc., how many people were there when those Taizu raised their troops? And how many of those who practiced martial arts were not indifferent to life and death?
What can really suppress them is the sword of Aunt Tang.
In the fourteen states of a sword and cold light, Aunt Tang suppressed the nine major sects with incomparable fear and made them abide by the laws and regulations, but those civil officials, including Confucianism, thought that the nine major sects were sheep, and the gentleman could deceive them, and planned all day long how to divide and disintegrate the nine major sects, how to better eliminate the martial arts.
The smile on Su Qiaoer's face on the side was a little stiff, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Zhou Huan sat in the first seat, the masters of the nine major sects sat down one by one, and the only intermediary was named Huangfu Song, a well-known Jiuding gentleman in the rivers and lakes.
His reputation and character have even been praised by Aunt Tang, saying that he will never lie about what he witnesses.
The picture of these eleven people sitting down reminded Su Qiaoer of an ancient painting, the Alliance of Jincheng.
Two hundred years ago, the great grandmaster Zhou Huan was born out of thin air, and he had a very high prestige in the government and the opposition, at that time, if he went further, he was likely to win the world, but the great grandmaster Zhou Huan gave up his personal ambitions, and Princess Pingyang returned to the mountains and forests.
Before leaving, Zhou Huan, Princess Pingyang, and his subordinates concluded an alliance in Jincheng.
Zhou Huan said that he guaranteed the safety of his subordinates' personal lives and property, and if they were maliciously injured and murdered, Zhou Huan would definitely go out of the mountain to kill the murderer, and his subordinates cooperated with the court to dominate the world, and no longer persuaded Zhou Huan to add a yellow robe, nor did he consider rebelling.
At that dinner was the final swan song, and the founders and great masters of the Nine Great Sects of Martial Arts, including the founders of the Four Great Families and the Demon Gate, all appeared on that painting.
Thirty years later, Princess Pingyang was able to ascend the throne because of the full support of those subordinates, and the reason why Aunt Tang was able to dominate the world in the future was also because the elders of many sects remembered the old feelings and fully assisted Aunt Tang.
When those old people of the same generation died, Aunt Tang also passed the most dangerous moment, her martial arts reached the peak, and there was no opponent in the world, but even so, Aunt Tang and the Nine Great Sects still have a love of incense, or a secret covenant.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for this thing, and now the original thing is returned. ”
It was the Shaolin Celestial Phenomenon Master who spoke, and he respectfully sent a cloth bag to Zhou Huan, not because he was respectful to Zhou Huan, but because he was respectful to this object.
In the cloth bag is a light red bracelet, this thing made of thousands of years of warm jade can make the person who carries it warm in winter and cool in summer, prolong life, on the picture scroll of the Jincheng Alliance, Princess Pingyang wears it on her wrist.
It was the trophy that Zhou Huan got from Murong Tieqi after he killed him, and then gave it to Princess Pingyang, and since then, Princess Pingyang has always carried this thing with her.
This one-of-a-kind treasure, Zhou Huan found it in the tomb of Princess Pingyang when he woke up, and carried it with him when he came to the capital, and then he stored it somewhere, and now he has taken it out.
After the pure real person entered the prison that day, Zhou Huan asked him to save himself from the prison?
The pure Taoist said that it was impossible, the Wudang faction could at most guarantee that Zhou Huan would not suffer much in prison, but if Zhou Huan was robbed or used legal means to get Zhou Huan out, the former would be too costly, and the Wudang faction would not be able to challenge the court head-on, not to mention the latter, there was no hope.
The Wudang faction can't do it, what about the nine major sects?
Zhou Huan asked the pure real person to send a message to the Nine Great Sects and said two things.
First, his identity is a descendant of the great master Zhou Huan, and there are tokens as evidence.
Second, Chen Yunying is a disciple cultivated by Tang Damiang, no matter what method the Nine Great Sects use to rescue him from the prison, he can convince Tang Damiang to care about this matter.
What happened in the trial, many people were puzzled, because the sword madman Chen Yunying should not have liked a man so quickly, but after listening to Zhou Huan's rumors and seeing the token of the great master Zhou Huan, the people of the Nine Great Sects suddenly became enlightened.
No wonder Chen Yunying's martial arts are so high, no wonder Zhou Huan can win Chen Yunying's heart, this is a typical arranged marriage, Aunt Tang had a crush on the great grandmaster Zhou Huan back then, and after accepting the apprentice Chen Yunying, it is not strange that Chen Yunying will marry the descendants of the great grandmaster Zhou Huan.
As for saying that the great grandmaster Zhou Huan and Princess Pingyang have no descendants in history, the people present said that Zhou Huan's face is the best evidence, and the nine major sects all have a portrait of the great grandmaster Zhou Huan, this face that has not used a knife is like the nine-point portrait of the great grandmaster Zhou Huan!
Afraid of harming the children and grandchildren and not letting them inherit the family business, there are many of the nine major sects, and it is not uncommon to let the children and grandchildren go incognito to become rich elsewhere, right?
Fifteen days have passed, and in these fifteen days, Zhou Huan silently waited for the decision of the Nine Great Sects, and then looked boredly at the children of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who had formed a group to brush him.
Eleven people sat at the table, eating dishes like dragonflies ordering water, the relationship was very harmonious, there was no friendship in private, and the people of the Nine Great Sects were eating while asking some inconspicuous questions, including some old things from two hundred years ago.
Zhou Huan's answer was very smooth, and it was also very satisfying to these people, which further proved Zhou Huan's identity.
"Xiaoyou, have you already decided on this matter?"
A gray-haired old man asked.
"I'm just stained with some remnants of the ancestors, how can I order you? Everything is arbitrary, you can do whatever you want, that's all. ”
"Are you really sure about Aunt Tang?"
"I haven't seen Aunt Tang, but the ancestor left something that can convince her, just let me meet with Aunt Tang, if you have any news from Aunt Tang, please inform me. ”
"Can you be sure that our actions will not cause Aunt Tang to be angry?"
"You can't burn the capital to the ground, can you? ”
Zhou Huan said calmly, whether it was the ten people who were still here, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, only the blazing fire was burning.
