Chapter 48: The Law of the King
Soon, a woman walked upstairs, her face full of anger, as if she was the one who had beaten someone.
It is also strange that the person who was beaten was full of smiles, but the person who beat people was angry and seemed to have suffered a big loss.
Qi Xuansu retracted his gaze and didn't say anything.
In Yujing, it is rare to see this kind of thing, not to say what the atmosphere of Yujing is, but that Yujing's status is too special, and everyone is cautious, for fear of getting into trouble. On the contrary, in the local area, there has never been a shortage of soil emperors, lawlessness has become habitual, all kinds of outrageous things have emerged in endlessly, and even some soil emperors have brought this habit to Yujing, such as Wang Danqing provoking Qi Xuansu.
At the beginning, Qi Xuansu thought about it for a few days and nights and didn't figure it out, why did Wang Danqing dare to make a move in Yujing, or in Ziweitang? Also use the spirit officer! Li Changge, the little national teacher, didn't dare to do this. Later, he understood that this was the habit of being domineering in the local area, lawless, and couldn't change it for a while, and he really regarded Yujing as his own home.
Later, the result was also obvious, Donghua Zhenren personally handled the matter, and Wang Jiaohe had nothing to say. In the end, Wang Danqing was fined 30,000 Taiping money, demoted from a five-grade Taoist priest to a seven-grade Taoist priest, and was banned from entering Yujing for three years.
Qi Xuansu continued to drink, and the drama between the two was still being staged.
The young man who was knocked downstairs before said in a calm tone: "Beat people." β
The woman glared at him angrily: "It's you who beat you!" β
The young man dusted off his shirt and said with a smile: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, beating people for no reason, I want to ask, is there still a royal law?" β
The woman was even more angry: "Because you should be beaten!" β
The young man still smiled and said: "Should I be beaten, I can be handed over to the government to judge, or I can be handed over to the Taoist government to judge, but I can't be handed over to you to judge, I can't just open your mouth and say whatever you say, you say I should fight, I should fight?" Don't talk about the law? β
The woman was also angry, and she was a little unscrupulous: "I'm from the Taoist Mansion, can I beat you?" β
As soon as Qi Xuansu heard this, he knew that this woman had been fooled and fell into a trap set by others.
Sure enough, the young man's smile became brighter and brighter: "Okay, it turned out to be a person from the Taoist government, that is, he knows the law and violates the law, and he has to oppress people with power." β
The woman immediately realized that she had been deceived, blushed, and stretched out her hand to point at the young man: "You, you are shameless!" β
"Am I shameless?" The young man sighed, "What did I do to be shameless?" It's you, relying on your identity as a Taoist priest, you dare to commit blatant murder, if I sue the Taoist Fengxian Hall, I don't know what the crime is? β
The female Taoist priest trembled with anger: "You say those foul words first, what's wrong with me beating you?" Even when I arrived at Yujing Fengxian Hall, I was justified! β
"Foul language? Who heard? The young man's face was full of innocence, "Feng Xiantang can't listen to your side of the story. But you started to kill and beat people, and so many people here have seen it, and they can't deny it. β
Qi Xuansu put down his wine glass and said softly: "This person is not a small people, I don't know which family's son." But the female Taoist priest, judging from her clothes, should have no background. β
Naturally, not all of them are children of families, and there are many people from poor backgrounds. For example, Qi Xuansu, his parents have no support since he was a child, he doesn't know who his parents are, he was adopted and raised by the Dao Palace, although he later rose to prominence because of Qi Niang and a series of opportunities, but if he insists that he is a child of a family, it is really unreasonable, he can't be a family alone.
Many of the surrounding spectators don't think it's a big deal, the reputation of the Taoist government is good, it's not good, it won't satisfy everyone, many people think it's a dog eats a dog, and some people think that the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and more people are timid and afraid, anyway, no one dares to stand up to help the female Taoist.
Chen Jianqiu's parents died when he was a child, he was used to seeing the hot and cold world, and later joined Qingluanwei, he saw a lot of all kinds of dark things, he couldn't control it, he couldn't manage it, he had already exhausted a little bit of enthusiasm, and he just waited and watched the changes at this time.
Ke Qingqing is different, she has always been in the Dijing Daofu, or under Shi Bingyun, and later followed Qi Xuansu, who belongs to the standard flower garden Taoist, and is somewhat naΓ―ve, so she couldn't help but say at this time: "It's almost there." β
The young man's gaze immediately moved to Ke Qingqing's body, and by the way, he also swept over Qi Xuansu and Chen Jianqiu.
Chen Jianqiu was not a big man in the past, and few people knew that Xu Jiaorong was his stepmother, so he was naturally omitted. As for Qi Xuansu, he only appeared at the reception dinner, and then he began to inspect the countries, and there were really not many people in the Shenglong Mansion who knew him.
In fact, at the dinner that day, there were not many young people, most of them were the heads of the major land snakes, or ministers, representatives, and other figures, all of them were elderly people, and not everyone could toast a glass of wine in front of Qi Xuansu, more people could only watch from a distance, and had a vague impression.
Even Chen Jianqiu relied on Qi Duyu's introduction to meet Qi Xuansu alone.
The second deputy lord is already a big man in the eyes of ordinary people, the unattainable kind. Not to mention these people, it was Qi Xuansu at the beginning, who followed the seven-person team into Jinling Mansion, which was regarded as half a Qincha angel, and it was only when he saw the second deputy mansion master Li Tianlan when he finally saw the poor dagger.
Since he didn't recognize Qi Xuansu, he naturally wouldn't recognize his secretary Ke Qingqing.
So the young man did not have the slightest fear, and played with taste: "The road is uneven and roars." Dare to ask this girl, you are also a Taoist priest of the Taoist Mansion? β
Ke Qingqing asked rhetorically, "So what?" Isn't it? Truth is truth, right and wrong are right and wrong, should it be different from person to person? β
The young man smiled: "That's a good point, but the truth in this world really varies from person to person." If the girl is not a Taoist priest of the Taoist government, I will only be a girl who doesn't know the inside story and talks nonsense. But if the girl is a Taoist priest of the Taoist government, then I have to think that the girl is going to use the power in her hands to protect her colleagues. I still say the same thing, "In all things, I must speak the law." What she said, no one heard, but it was just a one-sided statement, not evidence. But she beat me, so many people saw it, and the girl also saw it, and the evidence was ironclad. β
Ke Qingqing narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?" β
"Who I am, does it matter?" The young man smiled faintly, "Do you still want to retaliate afterwards?" β
Ke Qingqing said: "What a 'your Daofu', this sentence is placed in the Central Plains Imperial Capital, and few people dare to say so, but Your Excellency dares to say it, and you are also from a good background." Don't hide it, it seems that our Taoist government is oppressing the common people, and even with the robe on your body, you can't hold the common people. β
From beginning to end, Qi Xuansu just watched coldly.
This person has decided that the Daomen values his reputation, and he has always portrayed himself as the weak side, it seems that the Daoist government persecuted him, occupying the moral high ground, condescending, but it is a bit interesting. However, Ke Qingqing was not wrong, this robe that cost hundreds of Taiping dollars could not fit the common people, so the power of this rhetoric was not so sufficient, and the moral high ground under his feet was not so stable. But if it's just confusing, it's more than enough.
Ke Qingqing also understood this, and did not overwhelm people with power, but said: "You can immediately sue Fengxian Hall, so why bother?" If there are any conditions, you might as well say it directly. β
The young man smiled: "Or is this girl sensible, by the way, she hasn't asked the girl's name yet?" β
Ke Qingqing said: "Is this necessary?" β
"Of course it's necessary." Most of the young man's attention seemed to be shifted to Ke Qingqing's body, and at the same time, the corner of his eye swept over Qi Xuansu and Chen Jianqiu from time to time. It's just that what makes him a little suspicious is that the slightly older one is just drinking by himself, and the younger one is expressionless, as if it is none of his business.
It's a bit weird.
But it doesn't matter, these Taoist people may not have much ability, but one is counted as one, all of them belong to turtles, and the ability to not move like a mountain has been practiced ten out of ten, unlike the people of the rivers and lakes, who will explode at one point.
The young man said: "My request is very simple, the two girls give me a glass of wine and apologize, I will treat it as if what happened just now has not happened. β
Ke Qingqing said coldly: "What does it have to do with me, why should I toast you?" β
"Girl...... Is this a promise or not? The young man looked at Ke Qingqing with a playful smile, "Then let's see you in Fengxiantang, what is the crime of committing murder on the street?" It should not be small. Also, this girl, you can't run away. β
Chen Jianqiu pursed his lips, this person had already changed "beating" to "murdering" between words, so as to reverse black and white with one hand.
Ke Qingqing smiled angrily: "Fengxian Hall is opened by your family? You say you can't run away, you can't run away? β
The young man said: "Of course, Fengxian Hall is not opened by our family, but the evidence is conclusive, and you really can't run away." What, you're not convinced? β
Ke Qingqing said: "Of course I'm not convinced, wherever I go, I have to talk about the word 'reason'." I don't care what your background is, what does the people of Fengxian Hall have to do with you, Jin Que is determined to rectify the Dao Mansion, and the newly sent second deputy mansion master is in charge of the discipline of the Guanmen. In the future, when the truth is revealed, I will not be able to spare you reckless people! β
"Take the second deputy mansion master to press me?" The young man laughed and said, "What's wrong with the second deputy mansion master?" If you have power, you can be capricious? Without evidence, you can do whoever you want? Is there really no royal law? Is it really a son of heaven and a courtier? Don't forget, the Taoist Mansion is still the head of the palace, not the second place. β
Chen Jianqiu secretly glanced at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu's face was expressionless, still drinking.
Some people died, but not completely......
