Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Little County King
Qin Hengde, who was already dressed, was surprised: "Why did Master Qi say this? ”
Qi Xuansu said: "Then let me put it another way, what does the little county king mean is that the king of Langya is related to the matter of Qiuhua Courtyard?" ”
Qin Hengde suddenly stopped talking.
Qi Xuansu then pursued: "The little county king has acquiesced? ”
"I didn't say that." Qin Hengde immediately denied it.
Qi Xuansu said again: "What about the little county king?" Is there any relationship between Kogunwang and Qiuhuain? ”
Qin Hengde still denied it: "It doesn't matter, I'm just an ordinary guest." ”
Qin Hengde understands very well that some things are not called four or two, and they can't be beaten by a thousand catties on the scale, once the matter of Kun Dao is exposed in broad daylight, no one can suppress it, judging from Qi Xuansu's words of hidden mystery, Qi Xuansu does not intend to compromise, so what he has to do at this time is to take himself out, not fall into it.
"Since it is an ordinary guest, as long as the problem is explained clearly, why should the little county king report himself? Could it be that the little county king thinks that this is a glorious lintel thing? Qi Xuansu was still pressing step by step.
Qin Hengde was vigilant in his heart, and said: "I just can't believe Master Qi, after all, Gao Mingyin died an unknown death after being taken away by Master Qi, I reported my identity early, so that Master Qi could be afraid of a little bit, at least I could save my life." ”
This was said in a blatant and heart-wrenching manner, and there was even a bit of deliberate intention to provoke Qi Xuansu hidden in it.
However, Qi Xuansu didn't care, and turned his gaze to the two Kun Dao: "If you are coerced, then I will give you a chance to prove your innocence." If you are willing to fall, then I give you a chance to atone for your sins. ”
Talk to smart people, don't have to speak too thoroughly. Qi Xuansu had just made a start, and the two Kun Dao had already understood what Qi Xuansu was going to say, and Qin Hengde also understood Qi Xuansu's intentions.
The two Kun Dao subconsciously looked at Qin Hengde.
Qin Hengde was almost furious, and forced his anger and said, "See what I do? ”
Qi Xuansu still spoke calmly: "Little Junwang, since this matter has nothing to do with you, what are you anxious about?" Let people speak. ”
Qin Hengde stopped talking, just stared at the two Kun Dao fiercely.
A Kun Dao was intimidated by Qin Hengde's prestige, and said tremblingly: "No, I don't know ......."
Qi Xuansu interrupted: "Deliberately concealing and covering up, if you are not guilty, you are also guilty, and if you are guilty, you will be guilty of one more degree." ”
This Kun Dao immediately stopped talking.
Qi Xuansu glanced at the two of them again: "You have to understand what kind of person you are, what position you should stand on, and don't do things that go against your position." ”
This is a pun.
The first meaning refers to the identity of the two Daomen, and the Daomen has its own system independent of the imperial court, so there is no need to worry too much about Qin Hengde's power. The second meaning is to imply the situation of the two of them, to do something that is in their own interests, what is in their own interests? It's about getting rid of yourself, not being a scapegoat.
Qin Hengde understood when he heard this, and couldn't help but directly and half-provoked: "Master Qi, what are you doing here?" ”
Qi Xuansu replied: "If the little county king asks each other on official business, then I will answer on official business, I am on the order of the two real people of the Imperial Capital Provincial Mansion to rectify the atmosphere of the imperial capital, and what I want to do is to rectify the unhealthy atmosphere." ”
Qin Hengde was forced by this set of official words, and couldn't help but increase his tone: "Master Qi, you are not yet thirty years old, you are already a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, and you have a great future, Dijing is just a resting place on your way forward, there is no need to make a big move." I think you should also understand a truth, whether it is the Taoist gate or the imperial court, if you can't put people to death, it's best not to rashly make enemies. Many friends, many roads, many enemies, many walls. ”
Qi Xuansu did not answer immediately.
This reason is very simple, he doesn't understand, but he understands that Su Li is staring at him.
Su Li's original intention can't be said to be wrong, but Li Ruoshui cleverly used Su Li's paranoia, as long as Qi Xuansu's intentions and mud are thin, it is insincere to the heart of the Dao, Su Li immediately wanted to bite back, and also gave Li Ruoshui a reason to dispose of Qi Xuansu.
This is Li Ruoshui's cleverness, she doesn't have to risk leaving a handle to arrange for a henchman to go to Qi Xuansu's side, and she doesn't have to deliberately explain anything to Su Li, as long as she takes advantage of the situation and makes clever arrangements, she can use a Su Li who has nothing to do with it to contain Qi Xuansu.
Even if something went wrong, whether it was interrogation, other means, or even a direct soul search for Su Li, it would not involve her, because she did not give Su Li any instructions that were unfavorable to Qi Xuansu, and the two did not have personal attachment, just the relationship between the boss and subordinates. Others can't accuse her of anything, because it is completely reasonable to let the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, which has a very strong sense of morality, assist Qi Xuansu in rectifying the atmosphere.
What a good person to know.
After a while, Qi Xuansu spoke: "The little county king said that I have a grudge against others, so I want to ask the little county king, who am I making an enmity with?" ”
This sentence put Qin Hengde there again, not knowing what to say.
He can't say that Qi Xuansu is making a feud with the king of Langya County, although it is very imposing to say it, the key is to fall into the hands of others, which is equivalent to not confessing to himself.
Qi Xuansu continued: "Just now the little county king said that I have a bright future, which is about true. But a year ago, I was a wild Taoist. There are many habits in the rivers and lakes, and they can't be changed for a while. When I encountered such a thing, I also hesitated, afraid that my future would be ruined, and I was afraid that I would lose my life. But when I thought about it, if I acted impartially and would miss the future, then would the Daomen also be like these Kun Dao, secretly depraved? ”
Qin Hengde didn't dare to answer, and he couldn't answer, so he could only change the topic: "Then what is Master Qi trying to do?" ”
"Figure what?" Qi Xuansu glanced at Su Li, "Deputy Hall Master Zhang often says a word, change the Dao Gate, start from my own generation." Isn't what I'm doing now just doing it if I don't practice it? After all, talking and practicing is the real style. ”
Qin Hengde was a little disdainful in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't believe it, but he thinks that it is impossible for Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu to succeed in these young Zhuang factions. How easy is the word "change" to say?
It was Su Li, whose eyes lit up when she heard it.
She has been trapped in the trap of morality in the past, but today she has a sense of sudden enlightenment, if you regard the Daomen as a person, then is the Daomen moral high today? The answer is clearly no. Confucian scholars often say that small healing cures, Chinese medicine saves people, and great medicine heals the country, so it is the same in Taoism, maintaining personal morality can only be regarded as "small", and maintaining Taoism's morality is "big".
Since Qingqiu Mountain is sincere in its heart and strong in its commitment to the Tao, it is necessary to maintain the morality of the Daomen and rectify the unhealthy tendencies of the Daomen.
Qi Xuansu withdrew his gaze from Su Li and looked at Qin Hengde again: "If you don't live forever, a person who lives for a hundred years will eventually die, a hundred years of inaction, and a hundred years of being famous in history." ”
"What a name to go down into!" Qin Hengde somewhat understood, Qi Xuansu did not seek profit, but sought fame. It's just that fame is so easy to seek?
Qin Hengde sneered: "Then do Master Qi know that now the emperor has long regarded you as an unscrupulous cool official. ”
"Does it matter?" Qi Xuansu said indifferently, "The key is to see who can have the last laugh, and the winner takes all." ”
"Even if you win, even if you become a big master, can you really block the mouth of the world?" Qin Hengde said.
Qi Xuansu said: "As long as you have enough merit, you can block it." What's more, why block? What we do is worthy of heaven and heart, and future generations will have their own opinions. ”
Qi Xuansu paused for a moment, and then said: "Little county king, whether you are a Taoist priest or an official, you still practice the same way as Confucianism, which is nothing more than self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world." How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? ”
Qin Hengde no longer argued with Qi Xuansu, and didn't care about the two Kun Dao, and walked straight out.
Anyway, get out of this place of right and wrong first, and then think about it in the long run.
As for these Kundao, they don't admit it when they come to the big deal, and finally slowly fight a lawsuit.
Qi Xuansu did not stop it.
Those embarrassed nurses immediately had the backbone, followed behind Qin Hengde, and walked out together.
At this moment, the sound of neat and heavy footsteps could be faintly heard on the ground.
When Qin Hengde and the others returned to the ground, what they saw was a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping, as well as a large influx of black-armored spirit officials.
In fact, the spirit officer does not often use the sword, and is more accustomed to using the knife, as the name suggests, the ceremonial nature is heavier. However, in a special place like the imperial capital, the ritual sword has a place to use. As for the long gun, it was prepared to deal with the celestials.
If it is a fully armed spirit officer, in addition to the spirit officer's armor, it should be carrying a long gun, a short gun, a waist knife, a short sword, a spear, a shield, a talisman box, a projectile sac, a medicine sac, a food sac, a small machine crossbow, an arrow box, a hook, and a throwing knife.
Qi Xuansu mobilized five hundred spirit officials, leaving two hundred spirit officials to prepare, which was enough to surround Qiuhua Courtyard, because the black smoke rose before, so the first spirit officer rushed directly to this place.
Facing the crowd of guards, the spirit officers slowly pulled out their swords, although they were swords, but they were also bladed.
Even though the nurses are good at cultivating, the number of people is at a disadvantage, not to mention that the spirit officers are well-trained and the best at cooperating, so the nurses don't dare to make any changes at all.
It was only at this time that Qi Xuansu and Su Li walked out of the tunnel and ordered, "Protect the people inside closely, don't let them run away or die." ”
"Whoa!" Zhou Lingguan answered and led people into the passage.
Qi Xuansu said to Qin Hengde again: "Little Junwang, if something like this happens, Qiuhua Academy will definitely notify the backer behind the scenes, and as long as I detain you, I will force the backer behind the scenes to come forward in person, so that things will be much simpler." I guess the black-clothed people of the Shenshu Camp are already on their way to this place, and the entire Imperial Capital will definitely be greatly shaken by that time. ”
After that, Qi Xuansu didn't wait for Qin Hengde to respond, and shouted: "Chang Gong prepare!" ”
All the spirit officers put away their swords, replaced them with long guns, and began to reload the "Dragon's Eye B4".
The peculiar mechanical pull sound of the firebolt resounded.
