Chapter 491: Everyone in the Little Family
The wind in the rivers and lakes has risen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard has changed, and the newly appointed Lord Lu has proved with the Nanshan Immortal that his way of handling things is as good as Meng Yuan's, and he also treats the rivers and lakes with a tough attitude.
The Nanshan immortals were arrested, beheaded only one day after being imprisoned, and hung their heads in the city tower to show the public, Jinyiwei proved with practical actions that they would never compromise on the rivers and lakes.
In front of the blood-drenched heads, some people mourned, some people scolded angrily, and more people were afraid, and the methods of the Jinyi Guard became more and more ruthless, and even more impersonal than before.
But compared to the dead Nanshan immortals, the current rivers and lakes are more concerned about another thing, the Hengshan faction was entrusted by the Qingcheng faction to send disciples to help the Nanshan immortals escape, but the result failed.
Not only did they fail, but the disciples of the Hengshan faction were also caught by Jinyiwei, and now several thousands of households in Beizhen Fusi are all gearing up, planning to go to Hengshan to ask the truth.
Although everyone knows that there are not a few Jianghu people who secretly help the Nanshan immortals to fight against the will of the imperial court, these people either die unexpectedly, or they are nobodies, maybe there are a few of them who are bigger, but the secrets they do not let Jinyiwei grasp the handle.
The rivers and lakes preach morality, and the imperial court must also arrange the regulations, and the shackles called "rules" that bind everyone are not only a means to show their skills on the stage, but also the bottom line.
It is this rule that frames the Jinyi Guard, so that they cannot kill unscrupulously, but it is also these rules that bind countless knights in the rivers and lakes, so that they know that the Jinyi Guard cannot do whatever they want, and understand that this rule is a shield to protect them, so all the fears in their hearts and their actions have been restrained, so that the dog will not jump off the wall in a hurry and the world will be in chaos.
Now Shi Suxue, an inner disciple of the Hengshan faction, was caught by Jinyiwei, the evidence is conclusive, and Shuang'er, the outer disciple who fled back to Hengshan, confessed everything.
Those who were also in Hengshan, in order to rescue the immortals of Nanshan, came from all over the rivers and lakes were present, and now this matter has spread all over the rivers and lakes.
Jin Yiwei drew a line between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, this line is the rules and the bottom line, after this line, no matter how noisy the people of the rivers and lakes are, they should not be able to see it, but once they cross this line, they will immediately invite destruction.
Since everyone is playing according to the rules of the game, the Hengshan faction loses, it is not as good as others, and naturally there is nothing to say.
After all, helping the imperial court prisoners escape for their lives is a chivalrous move in the rivers and lakes, and it should be greatly promoted.
However, this kind of thing is applauded by everyone in the rivers and lakes, and it can be called chivalrous, but if it is placed in the imperial court, it is a proper disobedience to the decree and the destruction of the nine clans.
This is why the stories of these heroes are either apocryphal or the past of the previous dynasty, because in actual operation, the heroes who dare to step on the face of the court and become famous, the greater the fame, the faster they will die.
It is often those who do things without leaving a name to live for a long time, such as the former beggar gang leader Liang Benlang, who is chivalrous and righteous everywhere, he has long been unaware of how many big things he has done, but his hands and feet are clean, and he never leaves his name, so that the court can't catch any handles.
Therefore, everyone in the world praises Liang Benlang as a hero, but if he really wants to ask someone to talk about his exploits carefully, he can't say a word, this is the real hero's means of acting.
Speaking of the Hengshan faction, this time they took action to help the Nanshan immortals show their feet, and now that the catastrophe is coming, there are also two different voices among the Hengshan faction.
One side advocates saving people, Shi Suxue and them are both disciples of the Hengshan faction, and they are also the closed disciples of the former head of the sect, so they must be saved no matter what, and the other party is still in trouble because of righteous deeds, which is even more necessary to be saved.
On the other hand, the Hengshan faction is not as good as before, Shi Jiuning died suddenly, they are not in the door, and several uncles of the older generation can barely support the mountain gate, and the new generation of disciples are still very immature.
Today, on the top of the Hengshan Palace, the disciples who are divided into two factions have already quarreled with each other.
"Everyone, no matter how you say it, Su Xue is a disciple of our Hengshan faction, and now she has fallen into the hands of Jinyiwei, as a person from the same sect, she actually saw death and did not save her, how do you think of our fellow Taoists in the rivers and lakes?"
Mingyu, the person who spoke, was a disciple of the same generation as the former head of Shi Jiuning, and now she was in charge of the Hengshan faction with several other senior sisters, and she was also a faction that advocated saving people.
"Senior Sister Mingyu, you and I both know, the head of the family went suddenly, and the Taishan faction is eyeing it again, and now the Hengshan faction is in turmoil, if we are at odds with Jinyiwei again, do we really look at this Hengshan century-old foundation, ruined in our generation?"
The person who refuted it was called Yu Fang, the same generation as Mingyu, her junior sister, and she and most people advocated that you should not save people without authorization, otherwise you would inevitably fall into the fire and water of the teacher.
Yu Fang's words were supported by many people, and another person also persuaded him: "Senior Sister Mingyu, we can't be vain and deal with real disasters." ”
Mingyu said angrily with a straight face: "Senior sister's words are ridiculous! What a false name! Isn't it possible that we want to watch the disciples left behind by Senior Sister Jiuning die? ”
"Senior sister, I didn't mean that......." The man retreated to the rear in shame.
"Senior sister, listen to me."
Yu Fang sighed and said, "Su Xue grew up together with us, do you think I was ruthless so I let her die in vain?" If I face a person from the Demon Dao this time, even if it is the Xuantian Sect, I will fight firmly, but that is Jinyiwei, senior sister, do you understand? ”
Everyone knew that Jinyiwei would not tolerate the Jianghu sect, Shi Suxue fell into their hands, and if they didn't save them, it might be enough to kill someone, but if they did, it would be full of suffering.
At extraordinary times, the friendship between teachers and disciples cannot become a moral shackle that sways decision-making, and what they want to protect is not one or two disciples, but the century-old inheritance of the master.
Mingyu looked at these fellow disciples in front of her in disappointment, she took a deep breath, picked up the sword in her hand, turned around and left, Yu Fang's eyes were fixed, and she immediately asked everyone to step forward to stop her.
"Get out of the way, if you don't go, I'll go by myself, and I promise that I won't ask you to take on the role." Mingyu's sad gaze swept over, and everyone lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at him.
"Senior Sister Mingyu, you Hutu, why do you think Jinyiwei must arrest Su Xue, but let Shuang'er go, if you make a move, the situation will be worse than Su Xue, and Jinyiwei will give us one more crime, and then it will really be a catastrophe."
Yu Fang persuaded bitterly: "Senior sister, the master is our family, we have to protect this family, even if we have to sacrifice the lives of one or two disciples, it is for the good of everyone, for the good of this family." ”
Mingyu sighed deeply, her heavy gaze fell on Yu Fang, and she said faintly: "Senior sister, since you said that this master is our home, then do you know that since ancient times, the role of the family has been to protect the disciples in your mouth who can be sacrificed at will, and you have put the cart before the horse." ”
“......”
Yu Fang's eyes flickered, but he still refused to back down, the two confronted each other in silence, at this time, a small disciple outside the door hurriedly came to report-
"Uncle Yu! Uncle Mingyu! Jin Yiwei sent a letter! ”
