Chapter 6: The Heartless Man

The four major irons in life, Lu Xuan and the four of them have now gathered two, and the strangeness of the first acquaintance has disappeared a lot.

In the next few days, Li Xingzhi began to take over the affairs of Sanyang, helping Lu Xuan to extricate himself from the case, becoming an official is a process of cultivation for Confucianism, especially for Confucian cultivation in the Confucian realm, whether he can step into the realm of fame and fame depends on whether he can keep his heart in the ups and downs of this officialdom.

Now the court is full of Confucianism, but you can't keep your heart, after all, in the world, there are too many temptations and too many entanglements, even if you are of noble character, but there is always a weakness, right?

If you don't compromise, you won't be able to get into it, but if you compromise, fame is delusional.

Family, close friends, wine and wealth, these are sometimes like soft knives for Confucian cultivation, which can pierce your soft underbelly silently and make you unable to extricate yourself.

Especially in today's era, if you want to step into the realm of fame, the best way is to quit officialdom like Li Xinian! But in this way, it can be regarded as cutting off his own path of cultivation, and he has no hope of making further progress for the rest of his life, so he can only end up depressed.

On the contrary, a new force like the Unification Church, whose interpersonal relationships are relatively simple and which is in dire need of such management talents, can show their strength here.

Li Xingzhi had this feeling when he was in Dongzhou before, but there were too many reckless people within the Guiyi Church, and many of his decrees were difficult to achieve, and after entering the Confucian realm, it was difficult to move forward.

But after arriving in Sanyang, the situation is different.

Lu Xuan's subordinates are mostly reckless, but Li Xingzhi found that the reckless men here are different from the reckless men of the Guiyi Sect, and the reckless men here attach great importance to the rules, especially the set of rules set by Lu Xuan, although simple and rude, but they are indeed effective.

Moreover, the reckless man here worships Lu Xuan almost to the point of fanaticism, and some people are dissatisfied with his appointment as the magistrate of Sanyang County, but no one disobeys his orders!

This makes Li Xingzhi very comfortable, just a few days, Li Xingzhi feels that his righteousness has increased a lot, if he continues like this, give himself a certain amount of time, maybe he has hope to enter the realm of fame.

For the wealthy families in Sanyang County, Li Xingzhi's existence is a little unwonderful.

originally thought that Lu Xuan let go of Sanyang County, a Confucian student took the throne, and their good days came.

But Li Xingzhi's governing methods are a little ruthless, someone gives him a gift, he accepts all the orders, and then he is to die.

The specific case is that the Pei family wants to go to Fujishan County without going to the official face through Li Xingzhi, no matter which dynasty the salt is in, it is a profiteering business, Lu Xuan is now letting go of the salt to sell, which is also one of the means to attract merchants, but the salt tax is not low, if you go to the official face, the profit will be less than half.

This is a huge profit, the Pei family tentatively gave Li Xingzhi a gift, but he didn't expect the other party to accept it.

It is a good thing to be willing to receive gifts, which means that we can talk about it next.

The follow-up was also very successful, although it was not explicitly stated, but everyone clicked to the end, and they tacitly agreed, Pei Ruhai was relieved to go to the salt, but he was detained by Li Fu, who was in charge of the matter.

Needless to say, the next thing was almost stripped of his skin, and finally ran to Lu Xuan to beg for mercy and pay a large amount of food, and this matter was over.

Lu Xuan's whole person, that is a clear knife and a clear gun, evil is also evil, play a game, as long as you are okay, this matter will be over.

It's different when you change to Li Xingzhi, this product is poisonous, like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, it bites and doesn't let go, and in terms of mental torture, Li Xingzhi is even worse than Lu Xuan.

Of course, if you follow the rules, there will be no such things, but one-third of the business tax is really distressing!

What kind of evil has Sanyang County created, there are so many living Hades!

"Senior brother seems to have found his own way." In the county office, looking at Li Xingzhi, who was handling the copywriting, Xu Yifan suddenly smiled.

"Master is right, this place is indeed more suitable for me." Li Xingzhi nodded without raising his head: "I don't really want much, a master who can absolutely trust and support me, even if there is no glory and wealth, I am willing to follow!" ”

Even under Zhang Yuqing, many times he couldn't do anything with those senior brothers, in fact, Lu Xuan's suggestion to Zhang Yuqing, he also mentioned, but the master couldn't give up the relationship between master and apprentice, and it wasn't until after the rapid decline of the luck of the Guiyi Sect that Zhang Yuqing made up his mind from Lu Xuan.

It can't be said that Zhang Yuqing is biased, but Zhang Yuqing doesn't have Lu Xuan's courage, Lu Xuan will use a knife against his own people, and Zhang Yuqing cares too much about personal feelings in major matters.

Zhang Yuqing told him before he left, what you want, Lu Xuan may have it here, Li Xingzhi actually didn't have much hope at that time, but after he came, Lu Xuan gave him a big surprise.

"Your request is the most outrageous, it is easy to get a thousand gold, it will be difficult to find, and it is even more difficult to find the master, and the master who can fully trust and support you......" Xu Yifan shook his head and sighed, in fact, he wanted to persuade Li Xingzhi to go his own way, but there was no way, Confucianism is like this, the way to prove himself is to sell the emperor's family, and the positioning is in an auxiliary position, under such a framework, it is difficult to become a person like Lu Xuan.

Everyone has their own way to go, and it is not wise to interfere in the path of others, so Xu Yifan did not persuade again.

"Don't talk about me, what about senior brother? Will it stay? Li Xingzhi asked with a smile.

"It's very comfortable here, it's not that my junior brother is good to me, but here, no matter where I go, I can feel kindness, Senior Brother Lu's policy seems simple, but as he said, the people can't remember things that are too complicated, and the simpler the rules, the better it is for the people."

"It's not so much that the people here are simple, but that Senior Brother Lu governs the people well."

Xu Yifan said with emotion.

"Well, the strategy given by the governor is to interfere with the people as little as possible, which is actually more in line with the Taoist system, the role of the government will only take effect when it encounters major events, and in this way, the people's will will be higher." Li Xingzhi rarely calls Lu Xuan as a junior brother now, and he sighed a little emotionally at the moment: "If he was born in the emperor's family, maybe it would be better." ”

"You, you respect your background too much." Xu Yifan got up and shook his head and said, "I prefer the sentence of the junior brother that the prince and the prince will be like Xiangning!" Born as a human being, how can there be a natural high and low? ”

Li Xingzhi didn't argue with him, he saw different things with different positions, and he also recognized Lu Xuan's sentence, but it was undeniable that if Lu Xuan's starting point could be higher, the road would be smoother.

"Leaving?"

"Well, the wine in Qinglou is good, let's go together?" Xu Yifan nodded, he was a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, and it was natural for him to go to the Qinglou.

"Recently...... Quit color! Li Xingzhi shook his head and calmly met Xu Yifan's teasing gaze: "Senior brother knows, I didn't ask this. ”

"It's really good here, I'll stay for a while, but if I stay, my Tao may be wasted in the gentle township, don't worry, I like it very much, it's difficult here, I won't sit idly by, and ......"

Xu Yifan sighed and said: "I am slowly coming back to my senses now, the master sent us here, I am afraid that there is a sense of entrustment, not only to entrust the junior brother to us, but also to entrust us to the junior brother, this day, I am afraid that it will change, if I leave at this time, I will look down on myself." ”

"It turns out that the senior brother also noticed it." Li Xingzhi went out side by side with him.

"It's not to underestimate people, although you are older than me, but junior brother, senior brother, my experience, the people and things I have seen are much richer than yours." Xu Yifan said with a smile: "Sometimes I envy the little junior sister and the senior brother, the little junior sister is innocent and free, and the senior brother is honest and upright, I actually can't rest assured that the two of them are not at ease." ”

"Senior Brother Lu is here, what are you afraid of?" Li Xingzhi was puzzled.

"I'm afraid of him, Senior Brother Lu is good anywhere, it's just that this person is too transparent and ruthless." Xu Yifan shook his head: "I have learned about his past these days, he is a ruthless person, there are only two kinds of people in his eyes, enemies and his own people, as long as the enemy he identifies is, whether it is a peerless beauty, or a beloved relative or friend, he can kill without hesitation, do you remember that day?" ”

"Nature." Li Xingzhi nodded.

Although the little junior sister said that she was very arrogant and didn't have a door on her mouth, she said that she didn't have to pick it, such a Qianjiao...... Forehead...... Beauty, normal men will have some pity, but in the eyes of Senior Brother Lu at that time, I saw the desire to win and the fighting spirit, but I didn't see the man's pity for the beauty. ”

"I'm not saying that if a person is good-looking, he should have privileges, but the instinctive reaction of a normal man, it's not a shameful thing for a man to be lustful, and Senior Brother Lu is also lustful, which you should deeply understand."

Li Xingzhi remembered that the night when the four of them went to the Qinglou, the sound of shaking the bed continued until dawn, and eight beauties were changed to go in halfway, that night, Li Xingzhi had the urge to practice martial arts for the first time, and he was indeed practicing martial arts recently.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Li Xingzhi frowned and said, Lu Xuan's public and private affairs are clear, indicating that he will not mess up his personal affairs when making decisions in the future.

"Let's put it this way, if one day, the little junior sister makes a mistake, will you punish her selflessly? I'm talking about the kind of irreparable mistake. Xu Yifan asked.

"This ......" Li Xingzhi hesitated, to outsiders, he could be ruthless, but he looked at the words of his senior sister who grew up.

"This is a private relationship, everyone has it, but Senior Brother Lu gives me the feeling that ...... He won't hesitate to do it! There may be soft-heartedness, but there will be no mercy! Xu Yifan looked at Li Xingzhi: "The distinction between public and private is not necessarily a good thing for the parties!" ”

"Absolutely, isn't it?" Li Xingzhi frowned.

"Then let's talk a little more." Xu Yifan looked at Li Xingzhi: "You know, there are women in his house, but they are all from the Qinglou, with his current strength, ability, and status, it is too easy to find a good family to get by, but he didn't do this, have you ever thought about why?" ”

Li Xingzhi shook his head.

"He is afraid that he has concerns, if he is a lover, when he encounters something, he is afraid that he will be soft-hearted and unable to give up, but as these women, he can abandon without any psychological burden, he has feelings, but when he does everything, he takes into account emotional problems and does not let himself have weaknesses!" Xu Yifan sighed: "He will be a real master or even a hero, but he is not suitable for being a family, you can stay by his side, but this degree must be grasped, and it is okay to be a monarch and minister, but if this line is crossed, it is another matter." ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, I remember!" Li Xingzhi nodded solemnly.

"The Dao Ancestor is above, the disciple has no intention of playing with the rights and wrongs of others behind his back, sins and sins, immeasurable Tianzun!" Xu Yifan suddenly clasped his hands together, bowed to the Quartet, and then looked at Li Xingzhi: "That's all I have to say, monks shouldn't talk about right and wrong behind their backs, but I'm afraid that you will make a mistake in the future, so I'll tell you a word, senior brother, I just broke the vow and told you this, and you can do the rest yourself!" ”

"Uh...... Good! Li Xingzhi was speechless, he has lived for half his life, and he is a scholar, do you still need to mention these things? But it is also clear that Xu Yifan really cares about himself, so he can only accept this kindness.

"Gone! If you have something to do to find me in the Qinglou, remember to bring money! ”

Li Xingzhi: "......"
