The emperor advocated Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, had a tolerant political environment internally, and implemented subtle teachings in his foreign policy, so that the three religions were close to each other and compatible with each other. And at this moment, the Confucius Pavilion, the crowds outside the pavilion, the pavilion is bustling, the crowd in the three provinces building is shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot, struggling, no gap, such a scene, day by day, has become commonplace, as long as the child is empty, the wealth of the Master Pavilion is rolling, never stopping.

Ziqian, who was standing on the edge of the railing on the third floor, was holding a glass of wine, and after a while, the duel downstairs ended, and all the sons left one after another, Zixu walked upstairs and put his hands on the railing, and said, "Senior brother, how long have you been back?"

"Three quarters of an hour, where is the shadow?"

"She, where else can she go? She must have gone to Wan Qiping. ”

The two of them have been in love with each other for a long time, and this marriage is also a matter of time or time, so I told her not to go all the time in the future, but it will lead people to talk. ”

"I'll tell her. By the way, have you found the murderer?" Ziqian picked up the pot in his left hand, held the porcelain cup in his right hand, and slowly poured the wine into it: "Taste it, I bought it from the remnant house yesterday." Zixu turned around and leaned his back on the railing, took a sip of the wine glass, and said, "Be careful not to hurt Lan Zhi." Punish the evil and promote the good, the righteous do it. ”

After hearing this, Ziqian reluctantly smiled, and said with a heavy heart, "It's Ghost Valley." ”

When Zixu heard this, his face did not change, his heart was not surprised, and he said in a calm tone: "Fa said: Expect the enemy to win, plan the danger from far and near, and the way of the general." The hiding of the two evil sects is extremely hidden, and it is the first and most important task to grasp all the circumstances of the other party in detail. ”

"I'm sorry for you. ”

"Sharing worries for my brother and seeking peace for the people are all things that are within our bounds, and everything we should do is right. ”

Ziqian drank a glass, Zixu poured him a glass of wine, and said: "In recent years, I have obtained a lot of information about the two evil sects from the debaters and from the mouths of the debaters, and I personally sent it to the senior brother's room after sorting it out. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, time is pressing, I hope my junior brother will hurry up. ”

"Who will replace the debate in the Master's Pavilion?"

"Ziying?"

"Ziying, it's okay to take care of the Master's Pavilion, if it's a debate, it's not convincing, it's too reluctant. ”

"Then who can enter your eyes?"

"It's better to invite Liu Jing to stay for a few days ...... next post. Before he finished speaking, Ziqian stopped and said: "According to the rules, the goods escorted by Bafang Town are confidential, and the knife holder will not be leaked on the neck, but this time the murder of the disciples of Bafang Town has nothing to do with him." ”

Zixu was a little puzzled, and said suspiciously: "The Liu family has been in business for generations, and they are out-and-out businessmen, and their ancestors have always said that they can't do business with the people of the rivers and lakes, and they don't participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”

"That being said, between power and jewelry, as a businessman, I guess I will shake my original intention. ”

"Senior brother, they ...... what they mean. ”

"You're all involved, what about you, guess which link they can interfere with?"

Zixu stared at Ziqian, sat and thought, and suddenly woke up and said: "The owner of the official goods that was robbed can't be him." ”

"Unexpected, right?"

"There are still many questions that I don't understand. All in all, he seems to have been pulled in. ”

Zixu snorted and said disdainfully: "Today's imperial court attaches great importance to literati, whether they are officials in the court, rich businessmen, or ordinary people, they are all studying and researching, no matter what their purpose is, all in all, there are more and more people with poetry and books in their stomachs, and my master is not missing a Liu Jing." ”

Although the master of the Confucius Pavilion is Ziqian, it is Zixu who has been presiding over and managing the Master's Pavilion, although he is not as knowledgeable as Ziqian, and his appearance seems to be slightly inferior, but Zi is open-minded, and has an incomparable humility and humility that ordinary people can't match, and the most reassuring thing for him is that the senior brother has an equal and fraternal heart, loves the people, respects the people, and supports everyone around him who needs help.

Ziqian regarded his younger brothers and sisters as relatives, and he assured them to do everything, and he also cared about and respected their choices, so he said: "Then you can decide this matter yourself. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange people, senior brother, don't worry about it. ”

"By the way, I'll have dinner later, and I'll have two cups with you. ”

"Okay. Then, Zixu went back to the room, and Ziqian was still standing in place, drinking Lanzhi wine.

Bafang Town is located in the east of Luoyang City, in charge of the world's freight, secretly send every customer's request to the destination, never missed, whether it is a peddler or a dignitary, either pay enough silver, or give enough treasures, or provide enough information, in short, the price paid must be worth the money, otherwise turn away. The former Bafang Town is not called Bafang Town, the name and mayor of the town have long been forgotten when it was formed, maybe not capable enough, so it did not stand firm on the rivers and lakes, and was submerged by the strong, and now it is out of the rivers and lakes again, the wind and water are rising, and the current mayor is called Mr. Ouyang, no one knows his real name, no one has seen his true face, no one knows where he is, and no one knows the depth of his martial arts, it is rumored that he is a ranger, and the real presiding over and in charge of Bafang Town is the deputy mayor Ouyang Palace, there is Ouyang Shang, the master of the Qinglongmen Gate in charge of the eastern region, and the arrow is the dragon card; , make the arrow a tiger brand, Ouyang Zheng, the master of the Vermilion Bird Gate in the southern region, make the arrow a finch brand, and Ouyang Yu, the master of the Xuanwu Gate in charge of the northern region, make the arrow a turtle brand. Speaking of these four people, one is more extreme than the other in personality, one does not like to be lively, silent like ice, and treats anyone, including his relatives; one is sloppy and invisible, unkempt, has no relatives and cares, and ignores them; one has no one in his eyes, does his own thing, is good at wine and lust, and has a group of wives and concubines; the other is chattering and chattering, and there is always joy that cannot be erased from his face, Ouyang Palace can't control them at all, as long as he doesn't go out of line, he will turn a blind eye and do whatever he wants.

At this time, Ouyang Palace ordered the disciples to summon the four major masters, sat on the chair and watched the four people sitting down, shook his head and sighed: "The murderer is Ghost Valley. ”

The four people who sat down sat on their chairs without changing their faces and hearts, and everyone was talking, but they all seemed to be thinking about things.

"In case of a rainy day, we still prepare in advance. ”

Although I listened to the words, you still didn't say anything, in fact, what you were waiting for the mayor to listen to their suggestions, as long as the mayor asked them openly.

"Ouyang Yu, you speak first. ”

Ouyang Yu crossed Erlang's legs, shook the right leg on his left leg, swallowed the melon seeds that had just been put in his mouth, and said with joy after burping: "I like it the most, mayor, you can tell me, whether to fight or not? ”

Ouyang Zheng listened to it with a disdainful expression of disdain for what the world is in turmoil about, and said solemnly: "The sky is falling, what does it have to do with me?" Lao Tzu only knows the rules of Bafang Town, abide by the rules of Bafang Town, and do what Bafang Town should do. After saying that, he swaggered away, and Ouyang Palace did not say anything.

"What about Ouyang Jiao?"

Ouyang Jiao's clothes were shabby, the dust and dirt on the collar looked disgusting, I saw him clasping his nostrils, whistling, dirty thick hands, floating eyes scanning around, his lips kept sipping the wine in his mouth, listening to the mayor's inquiry, he quickly settled down, and said: "Killing people to pay for their lives is a matter of course, and Fuzhou can't catch the murderer, so what can we poor people do? Besides, they have been holding the money of the imperial court and exploiting the oil and water on the people's bodies, for more than ten years. In terms of strength, they can't take the Ghost Valley, can we take it? Why should we give them a thunderstorm? I can't do anything about it. To put it mildly, if I am killed if I am not good for my teacher, what can I do with my brothers? What can I do with those travelers? Don't blame me for speaking wildly, as the master of the White Tiger Gate, I have to be responsible for the mayor of the town, and I have to make a living for the disciples under the door, this ghost valley and the yin and yang people in the world are terrified, and everyone avoids it, we don't want to take our lives hastily, Lao Tzu doesn't do it, Lao Tzu has to do things. After speaking, he also brushed his sleeves and left, and Ouyang Gong did not respond.

Such an embarrassing scene, the same every time, is commonplace, and it is not surprising. Ouyang Gong knew that these people had their own characteristics in character and life, but when it came to his heartfelt devotion to Bafang Town and his loyalty to Mayor Ouyang, it was respectable and admirable, but it was just that the way he did things was a little uncomfortable.

Ouyang Yu changed his posture again, slumped on the chair, and said, "What kind of virtue are they, is the mayor fighting or not?"

He walked up to Ouyang Yu and said, "Of course we have to fight, but it is our brother who will die, and it will damage the brand of our Bafang Town, as well as the reputation and credibility of our Bafang Town." ”

"How do you play?"

"From today onwards, half of the disciples of the Qinglong Sect and half of the disciples of the Xuanwu Sect will be organized into a team, and the two of you will intensify their training day and night. ”

After hearing this, Ouyang Yu had an opinion and said: "You have to make it clear, the division of labor between the two of us must be specified, otherwise there will be a fight." ”

"This is reasonable, you are responsible for training the martial arts of the disciples, and you are responsible for the diet and daily life of the disciples, so you decide. After speaking, he turned his head and said to Ouyang Shang: "What do you think?"

"It's all up to the mayor. ”

But seeing Ouyang Shang get up, he walked to Ouyang Yu's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, thank you." ”

"I'm the master of the Xuanwu Sect in Bafang Town, and to bully you is to bully me. ”

After that, the two went to Xuanwumen to discuss matters such as staffing, training regulations, and follow-up arrangements.
