Chapter 401: Woe to the Wall (1)
White clouds and dogs, the rivers and lakes are the same.
The Central Plains martial arts seemed to fall into the tranquility before the storm, seemingly undisturbed, but in fact it was treacherous. Time passed, it was a scorching summer, the weather was unbearable, and it seemed that this summer's "blazing" came unusually fiercely.
Because of Di Mo's betrayal, Luo Tianjin's great attention was aroused. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Luo Tianjin ordered Huang Yulang to conduct an unannounced inspection of an unprecedented scale in the Xianwang Mansion, with the purpose of eliminating all the "spies" and returning the Xianwang Mansion to a prodigal situation.
Having said that, once the purge is put into practice, it often causes a lot of panic and even mutual suspicion.
Huang Yulang is iron-faced and selfless, and acts with an iron fist. In front of him, no one can be ruthless to talk about. With the attitude of "I would rather kill by mistake than let go", he conducted a large-scale inspection in the house.
From the seven heroes of the Xian Wangfu, to the ordinary disciples, and even the servants and servants of the Luo family, they are all included in the list of suspicions, and they can't wait to find out everyone's ancestors for eighteen generations, even three meals a day, words and deeds.
Not only that, Huang Yulang also set up a "merit box" in the middle hall. All disciples in the house can write down other people's "crimes" and put them in the box, which is like a report.
What's even more terrifying is that the merit box is an anonymous act, and there is no need for real evidence, even if it is chasing after the wind, there is no sin. Therefore, many people with ulterior motives have taken this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and make up and fabricate rumors.
A rumor and rumors made the people in the house panic, and there was no peace day and night.
Those who have doubts will be sent to monitor them day and night, and at worst, they will be put in a dungeon and tortured. Therefore, during this time, many people in the government were imprisoned for their vague words. What's more, he couldn't stand Huang Yulang's torture and died unjustly. There are also many people who are humiliated and seek suicide.
Human life has become worthless this summer. Huang Yulang set seven prohibitions for this purge, and violators will be killed.
Secretly communicate with foreign enemies, kill!
Those of unknown origin, kill!
Fatteners, kill!
Those who refuse to cooperate, kill!
Those who try to escape, kill!
Leakers, kill!
Covert conspirators, kill!
These seven articles, like a haze that cannot be seen without seeing the five fingers, are tightly shrouded inside and outside the Xianwang Mansion, and permeate the hearts of every disciple.
In response to this absurd move, Luo Tianjin not only came forward to stop it, but praised Huang Yulang's resolute and resolute behavior.
Therefore, everyone in the house dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only live in seclusion, act in a low-key manner, and secretly pray that no one would stab themselves in the back.
In just one month, 63 "spies" in the Xianwang Mansion have died in Huangquan, and more than 100 others have not yet been cleared of suspicion and are still suffering under severe torture.
Now, the atmosphere of the Xianwang Mansion is the same as the original judgment, and this deep mansion compound is no longer a holy place for rivers and lakes, but more like a hell on earth.
Today, the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion are all living in panic and anxiety, carefully trying to survive in trembling.
When they meet each other, don't say that they hook their shoulders and talk about wine, but now they don't even dare to say hello. The brothers in life and death who used to be close to each other are now resigned, like strangers. Even if they passed by, they didn't dare to turn their heads to look at each other, for fear of attracting criticism and carrying the capital crime of "secretly conspiring".
If you can't live, you can't die, you can't escape, and you can't wash it away, that's the best interpretation of the current situation.
On the first day of July, in the morning.
Lin Fangda stood outside the courtyard gate with a knife, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were split, and he seemed to be extremely ashamed and angry in his heart. Behind him, the four people of "Fushou Kangning" trembled, their faces were like white ash, and their expressions were very frightened.
At this moment, standing opposite Lin Fangda was a group of black-clothed disciples with cold expressions and unkind eyes. They are Huang Yulang's cronies, and they are also the executors of this purge of "spies".
"Master Linmen, hand over the four traitors Zhang Fu, Wang Shou, Li Kang, and Zhao Ning, don't set yourself on fire, and don't embarrass us. ”
The black disciple led by him was not afraid of Lin Fangda's anger at all, and strode forward, letting Lin Fangda's blade against his chest, but his face did not change and he did not breathe, as if he was full of confidence.
"Fart!" Lin Fang scolded angrily, "You blind dogs, you all day long, you dare to bully Lao Tzu today? The four of them are my confidants and brothers, not traitors in your mouth at all, let alone spies!"
"Yes or no, we will find out and not bother the forest master. The black-clothed disciple was not happy or angry, and replied, "The sixth master has an order, and anyone who is suspected must be brought back for detailed interrogation." ”
"Bullshit suspicion!" Lin Fang was indignant, "They have always been loyal to the mansion master, where did the suspicion come from?"
"Lin Sect Master see for himself!" Hei Ji's disciple took out a note from his bosom and explained, "Someone anonymously submitted a letter, Zhang Fu and the four of them secretly conspired under Yang Huai in the West Courtyard at three o'clock yesterday to discuss the matter of 'secret visit and inspection' privately, and made disrespectful remarks to the mansion master and the sixth master. His heart is ill-intentioned, or he is suspected of selling for glory. ”
"This ......"
Facing the note of the black-clothed disciple, Lin Fangda couldn't help but be stunned, turned to look at the "Fushou Kangning" who was walking on thin ice, and hesitated: "Is there such a thing?"
"Door master, yesterday we were just chatting, there was no ill intention, and there was no intention of selling the owner for glory......"
Before he finished speaking, the black-clothed disciple abruptly interrupted: "In this way, you admit to talking about the 'secret visit and inspection' privately, and make disrespectful remarks to the mansion master and the sixth master?"
"It's not that we're not making insulting remarks, we just think that there may be something wrong with the audit......"
"Lin Sect Master, did you hear that?" The black-clothed disciple didn't give "Fushou Kangning" a chance to defend himself at all, and directly turned his fierce gaze on Lin Fangda.
"That's not going to work!" Lin Fangda said in a deep voice, "If you say a few words, you will be taken away, it is simply unreasonable!"
"The Lord of the Forest Gate means ......"
"They are my people, and if you want to check, I will check, you are not qualified. Lin Fang's eyes were fierce, and he said bluntly, "You go back first, and I'll tell you the results when I find out." ”
"It seems that the Lord of the Forest Sect is doing this, it seems that it is not in accordance with the rules......"
"What rules? This is the Hugh Gate, I am the Lord of the Hugh Gate, and I have the final say on everything. Lin Fangda suddenly turned the knife upward, and the sharp blade was directly against the neck of the black-clothed disciple, and said coldly, "Are you not even giving me face?"
"Lord of the Forest Gate, you ......"
"Lin Fangda, are they not qualified enough?
Before the black-clothed disciple could speak, a cold voice suddenly came from a distance.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Yulang, whose face was sinking like water, accompanied by a group of black-clothed disciples, walked quickly towards Lin Fangda. Looking at his gloomy gaze and tense face, he seemed to be very angry in his heart.
"Sixth master, I ......"
"Smack!"
Before Lin Fangda could explain, Huang Yulang waved his hand abruptly and "rewarded" him with a loud slap, which made Lin Fangda dizzy and his head buzzed.
"Lin Fangda, no wonder your subordinates are so presumptuous, it's all because you, the master of the sect, are unruly and lawless. Huang Yulang said, "Tell me, is it up to you here?"
"Naturally, the sixth master has the final say......" In front of Huang Yulang, Lin Fangda had a thousand or ten thousand resentments, and he didn't dare to speak up at this moment.
Lin Fangda understands Huang Yulang's character, and his sophistication has always been worthless in front of him. Don't say that a small lord of the closed door, even if Luo Tianjin did something wrong, Huang Yulang also dared to speak out.
"I know that the lord of the mansion has always favored you, but you should not be arrogant and arrogant. Huang Yulang said, "In front of me, your tricks of playing tricks are useless at all." Not only did you obstruct the purge, but you even drew your sword against each other, just with this one, I have nothing to say if I kill you a hundred times. ”
"Yes......" Lin Fangda hurriedly put away the knife, and bowed his head to Huang Yulang unwillingly to admit his mistake, "It's me who is reckless, please punish the sixth master." ”
"Come and take Zhang Fu, Wang Shou, Li Kang, and Zhao Ning away for strict investigation. Huang Yulang stared at Lin Fangda without squinting, and ordered, "Who dare to stop me?"
"Yes!"
The black-clothed disciples received orders one after another, quickly rushed forward, tied up the wailing "Fushou Kangning" Wuhua Da, and forcibly dragged him away from Lin Fangda and the rest of the disciples.
Lin Fang's anger rose from his heart, and he was angry, and he clenched his fists to vent the fire in his heart. Even so, he still stood respectfully in front of Huang Yulang, not daring to move a single bit.
"Lin Fangda, I remember that you are loyal to the lord of the mansion, and I will spare you this time. Huang Yulang said indifferently, "If you dare to obstruct the purging again, I will not spare it!"
After that, Huang Yulang snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away. Only Lin Fangda, who was blocked in his chest and embarrassed and indignant, was left.
A moment later, Luo Ningyu came slowly. At this time, she was full of sadness and panicked.
"Ningyu, you came just in time, I have something to ask you to help ......"
"If it's about purging, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Without waiting for Lin Fangda to pin his hopes on Luo Ningyu, she interrupted first, "After the eldest brother's accident, my father's temperament has changed greatly, and I have repeatedly persuaded him...... But instead of being moved, my father scolded me not to interfere with Uncle Huang's affairs. At present, my mother's serious illness has not recovered, because of the eldest brother's affairs all day long. Second Uncle Xie obeyed his father's orders, and he was even more stubborn. I really can't do anything but come to you, hoping you can ...... Help find clothes. ”
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Fangda's face changed suddenly, and he was surprised: "Something happened to Xun Yi?"
As soon as Liu Xunyi was mentioned, Luo Ningyu's eyes couldn't help but darken, Bei Yan bit his lower lip lightly, and nodded silently.
"What's the matter?" could it be ......" Lin Fang stopped talking, and a look of horror flashed quietly in his eyes, "Could it be related to purging?"
"I've heard that more than a dozen impeachment notes appeared overnight in the merit box. Luo Ningyu's eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice, "You know Uncle Huang's temperament, if he is allowed to see these notes, Xun Yi will definitely be in danger." ”
"How can this be?" Lin Fang was stunned, "Although there is a lot of uproar about rumors, most of them are ordinary disciples attacking each other. Xun Yi is now the master of the shocking door, and the promotion of the black fan is just around the corner, and he is definitely a pivotal figure in the Xianwang Mansion, who is so short-sighted that he jumps out to make trouble at this juncture?"
"It doesn't matter who did it anymore. Luo Ning said, "Uncle Huang is selfless and unkind, once he finds a clothes ...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
Looking at Luo Ningyu, who was anxious and chaotic, Lin Fangda couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and then thought of Liu Xunyi's situation and the brotherhood between the two, which was even more complicated and indescribable.
"I'm an elm pimple, and I can't think of a good idea. Lin Fangda pressed his thoughts and muttered, "But there is one person who may be able to help find clothes." ”
"Who?"
"Xun Qin!"
