Chapter Twenty-Three: Rumors of Sect Wars
For the next three days, Heyang City quietly became a battlefield, being played back and forth by two palms hidden in the shadows. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, every trader was given notice not to give any beggars alms, especially food, in the near future, even if they starved to death.
Such an order is unbearable for some people, but in order to avoid causing trouble for themselves, they can only let it go without saying a word.
The only thing that could not be tolerated was the direct victim of this order: the beggar.
With a population of tens of thousands in Heyang City, there are no more than a dozen beggars in the city, and there are hundreds of beggars in the entire city even if they don't come forward. It is precisely because of the existence of these peers that Loach can inquire about so much news about Da Rimen in three days.
Although the disciples ordered by Wang De were able to find out which part of the city where the loaches were active, they could not only restrict their activities in this area, not to mention restricting the industries in the city and only giving them a few alms, so they simply let all the beggars have no food.
This is actually the contempt of the disciples of the Great Rimen for the beggars, thinking that these untouchables have no power, and they can be bullied anyway, so they simply serve it in a pot.
Wang De knew about this matter afterwards, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, untouchables, one is also beaten, a group is also beaten, all of them are all, and they simply didn't stop it.
So he didn't know that at this moment a little beggar named Loach came forward and very generously waved his silver to buy big fish and meat, and feasted his peers!
Of course, the beggars would not refuse such a good thing, so they patted their chests after they had eaten and drunk, and said that it was all right, and went their separate ways to do their work.
So a few days later, Wang De, who tasted the taste of power in the door, suddenly faced many applications.
"You have business to deal with at home, and you need to go to Luochang City immediately?"
Wang De looked at the young master of the largest silk merchant in Heyang City in front of him, frowned and asked, "You didn't lie to me?"
The disciple of the Great Rimen nodded, and said respectfully and firmly: "Senior Uncle, how dare I lie to you? This is really an important matter, I have to go." ”
Wang De stared at him for a long time, seeing that his expression did not change at all, he could only nod: "Okay, you can go." ”
The man then turned and walked away, pushing the door open. And after Wang De watched him disappear in front of him, his brows were furrowed, as if he was locked.
"What's the matter, this is the first one!" he was puzzled: "Are there any chamber of commerce activities in Luochang City recently? Why are these nominal disciples rushing to do business?"
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he simply called his disciple to ask what was going on.
The disciple looked strange, and after carefully peeking at him, he said softly: "Senior uncle, I don't know if there are any chamber of commerce activities in Luochang City, I only know that there seem to be people in Heyang City recently." ”
Wang De was stunned: "What activity?"
"It seems that a big official has come from Xianyang, it seems that he is a person from the Shenwu Division, what is the name of the inspector, who specializes in investigating the situation of the martial arts sects in various places!"
Wang De was suddenly shocked, and jumped up from his chair with a scream: "What? Why didn't you say it earlier?"
......
When Wang De screamed, the loach was also in the shack, thinking about Lin Sen and asking.
"Master Lin, isn't it a bit bold for us to be like this. He hesitated and said: "The big officials of the imperial court, can we arrange them casually? Those martial masters are afraid of reputation, and they will not directly kill them, but if they break the law, they don't need big officials, and the small officials can let us die." ”
Lin Sen, the initiator of the news, the loach's financier, and the participant in the sect war, shook his head and asked, "What law did you violate?"
"It's not right for me to privately spread the whereabouts of a senior official like this, right?"
"He is not a official, but a citizen. Lin Sen smiled: "I told you, Master Mo is now a person who resigned and returned to seclusion, not an official body." ”
"That's even more wrong. I can say that he is a big official from Xianyang, or that kind of Shenwu Division. ”
"So what. Lin Sen still smiled and said: "You are just a beggar, an uninformed civilian, it is normal to recognize the wrong person, right? ”
When the loach heard this, he was finally relieved, but he still said, "But in this way, won't that noble man be angry?
Lin Sen said firmly: "Absolutely not." ”
Finding trouble for the Great Rimen is the common goal of Sun Ting Mo Wenhou Tongtian Sect, how can I act alone? Even if you two have such and such reasons to make a move, then I can't help you make a move? If you want to enjoy the fruits without putting in the labor, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Lin Sen thought like this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and there was a bit of teasing.
"All in all, continue to spread this news, and scare away all those nominal disciples with energy in the Great Rimen!"
......
Lin Sen was helping his allies when his allies were crying and laughing.
In the study of the private residence of the prefect of Heyang, Sun Ting and Mo Wenhou looked at each other, and they both saw a little speechlessness on each other's faces.
"This Sect Master Lin actually did this!" Sun Ting raised his hand, kneading the bridge of his nose, very distressed: "Arrange Brother Mo like this, aren't you afraid that I will accuse him of slandering the imperial court officials and send someone to take him down?"
Mo Wenhou smiled bitterly: "He expected that Brother Sun would not do this." Besides, there is no reason to do this, I have resigned now, and I am just a civilian, how can it be regarded as slandering the imperial court?"
Sun Ting also cried and laughed when he heard this: "Yes, he has no way to get it." ”
After a pause, he said with a strange expression: "It's just Brother Mo, don't you and I really care?
When Mo Wenhou heard this, his eyebrows raised, the bridge of his half-collapsed nose moved slightly, his eyes swept over Sun Tingfang's front gaze, and after a little deep groaning, he said softly: "It's okay, it doesn't have any impact." ”
Sun Ting's heart jumped when he heard this, and his face changed rapidly.
Mo Wenhou opened some shackles instead, and said directly: "Brother Sun, you and I have been in contact since the early years, and the relationship is not far away, and thanks to your care during this time, although some things cannot be explained in detail, there is no need to hide them, I am indeed entrusted by a noble person to do something on this trip." ”
"But even if you do things, you must always take care of your own safety first. Now that there are villains secretly plotting, it is not a way for me to hide and not show up, it is good for Sect Master Lin to publicize me like this, only in this way can I force people out and solve them, so that I can have no worries. Brother Sun, do you understand?"
Although Sun Ting's heart was agitated when he listened, he also understood what he should say, and nodded immediately: "Brother Mo is thinking well, it should be so." After a pause, he asked softly, "I don't know what I can do?"
Mo Wenhou didn't seem to hear this question, but instead asked, "Brother Sun, do you know what Sect Master Lin did a few days ago?"
Sun Ting was stunned, but he didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to this, and only after thinking about it a little did he say: "What Brother Mo said is that he was intercepted by the disciples of the Great Rimen outside the city, so he cut off the wrists of the three people?"
Mo Wenhou nodded: "Yes, I heard that one of the disciples is a martial artist cultivator?"
Sun Ting said: "Not bad." The strength of this Lin Sect Master was somewhat unexpected. ”
"Young talents, that's how they should be. Mo Wenhou said meaningfully: "Sect Master Lin has such an ability, there are naturally more outstanding young disciples in his sect, and I hope that Brother Sun will take more care of it." ”
Sun Ting frowned, are there more outstanding young disciples in the sect? He was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and nodded again: "I understand." My Dayong Dynasty is orthodox for the human race, and it should be like this!"
Mo Wenhou also smiled and nodded, just sighed in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: My daughter, there is only so much that my father can do now.
The two tacitly reached a consensus, and the conversation was naturally more relaxed and pleasant, and even a little less scruples.
"Sect Master Lin is also bold, and he actually found the name to find the head of the Shenwu Division. Sun Ting shook his head and said, "Shenwu Division, this is not something that can be mentioned casually. ”
Mo Wenhou said: "This is actually the most suitable, after all, for these martial arts sects, the Divine Martial Division is the most useful name, and Brother Sun and I are naturally incomparable." ”
Sun Ting sighed: "It's okay, I don't dare to use the name of Shenwu Division, but now with the help of Sect Master Lin, I can just treat it as if I don't know." After a pause, he suddenly smiled: "Brother Mo doesn't know, many people came to me today to knock on the side, wanting to confirm whether you are from the Shenwu Division as rumored, and I have denied all of them." It's just that they can't believe it, and they look more cautious. ”
When Mo Wenhou heard this, his face was a little unnatural, the corners of his stiff mouth were raised, and he laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I would have a day to show off my might in the name of the Shenwu Division!"
Sun Ting saw that his expression was wrong, and his mind changed, and he suddenly thought of something: "It is said that Mo Wenhou was not originally called Mo Wenhou, but changed his name after encountering an incident, and he is bound to gain fame as a literati......
The law system of the Dayong Dynasty, all those who enter the military are commensurate with the Marquis of Wu, and those who make meritorious deeds will be crowned with the title of 'Marquis of Wu X', such as the most powerful Wu Weihou of the dynasty. The literati are just the opposite, the title is 'Wen X Marquis' as the lowest, and the highest is 'Wen Marquis'!
Mo Wenhou gave himself this name, although it shows his long-term ambition, but at the same time, it also has some other meanings, such as hostility to martial artists and the like......
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Ting didn't mention the matter of the Divine Martial Division, and turned to chatting about other things.
After a while, Sun Ting continued to handle official business, while Mo Wenhou left the study and returned to the backyard wing, only to see his wife sitting on the edge of the bed, teasing a white fox curled up on the bed.
Mo Wenhou couldn't help frowning: This is Sect Master Lin's white fox, these days he has been busy with the affairs of the Great Rimen, so he handed over the fox to Mrs. Mo to take care of it.
"Alright, it's just a brute, how can you put it on the bed?" he said in a deep voice, "Take it down, or how will you and I sleep on it?"
Mrs. Mo was not very happy: "Master, this is not an ordinary fox, it is smart." ”
Mo Wenhou frowned when he heard this, and just thought, 'It's just a beast', but he saw the white fox on the bed suddenly look up at him, and his blue eyes were full of disdain, which made him stunned.
I have to say that this white fox is indeed the most humane beast he has ever seen, not only eating and drinking exactly like a human every day, but occasionally one or two movements are also full of human flavor, and its dexterity is unbelievable.
"I kind of understand why Xiao Li'er likes this fox, such a dexterous little guy, who doesn't like it?" Mrs. Mo took the white fox into her arms, kissed and touched it, just like treating her own child: "Little fox, I'll play with you well, and when you go back in the future, you can also play with Xiao Li'er, okay?"
Mo Wenhou understood his wife's plan at this time, and knew that whatever he said was in vain, so he simply didn't look at the fox, and sat directly on the chair and said to himself: "It should go back soon, and there will probably be something wrong on Sect Master Lin's side soon." ”
Mrs. Mo was anxious when she heard this, she knew the general situation, and immediately said: "Master, nothing will happen, right? Xiao Li'er is in Sect Master Lin's sect, and Sect Master Lin must not have anything to do." ”
Mo Wenhou said: "I always feel that something is wrong, there must be a secret on our Sect Master Lin, otherwise the Great Rimen would not be targeted like that-all in all, don't worry about this, the person who can easily surround me and Brother Sun into it will never be someone who can be easily dismissed." ”
Mrs. Mo didn't listen to this, she still frowned and didn't show a sad look, but the white fox in her arms raised her head slightly, and her blue eyes looked Mo Wenhou up and down again, and her eyes were very strange.
It's like saying, "You guessed it."
