Many of the casual cultivators who came to watch the martial arts conference had been bullied by people from the Poison Scorpion Sect, but they only dared to endure it in their hearts and did not dare to speak out because the Poison Scorpion Sect was so powerful.
Now that the poisonous scorpion sect has offended the officer and army commander, the Ming family compound is surrounded by officers and soldiers at this moment.
It is true that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation. If you don’t believe it, look up and see who will be spared by heaven!
Although they, the Jianghu people, could not applaud as the government and army eliminated the Jianghu forces, they were still quite happy about the complete disappearance of sects like the Poisonous Scorpion Sect.
The head of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect saw that no one dared to move, so he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you just standing by and watching today, afraid that you will be the next to be eliminated by the imperial court?"
Xu Qing looked at the leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect and said: "Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by death. How many evil things have the Poisonous Scorpion Sect done over the years? They bully men and women and bully the weak in the arena. Do you think the court doesn't know about it at all?"
?”
The casual cultivators in the surrounding world couldn't help but feel a little sad when they heard Xu Qing's words. Apparently many people had been oppressed by the Poisonous Scorpion Sect in this way.
Although the Scorpion Sect cannot be said to be heinous and full of evil, the number of evil deeds it has done is added up to a terrifying amount.
Moreover, there is another difference between the Poisonous Scorpion Sect and other prestigious sects, that is, if you want to join the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, it is best to have a certificate of surrender, and it also takes in gangsters and murderous gangsters. Sometimes the chief officials of the local government have a headache.
, dare not easily antagonize him, let alone report to the court to affect political performance.
The shops of the Guoshangyuan have basically covered all the important state capitals of Chu State, so it is naturally easy to collect this information.
It's just a pity that Xu Qing and the little girl didn't encounter anyone from the Poisonous Scorpion Sect doing evil along the way, otherwise the little girl would have been excited.
But it’s normal to think about it. The Poison Scorpion Sect is in the Zhou State. Although the Zhao State also has many branches and disciples of the Poison Scorpion Sect, the number is not as large as that of the Zhou State.
When the leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect heard Xu Qing's words, he looked around at the officers and soldiers who were already waiting, and then glanced at the casual cultivators in the surrounding arena. He said solemnly: "The arena has its own rules. Does the imperial court still plan to do this for these arenas?"
Are you a casual cultivator?"
Xu Qing looked at the leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect and said: "I have no control over the rules of Jianghu. Although Jianghu has no borders, there are people in Jianghu! You are just a sect from the Zhou Dynasty, but you want to bully our country of Chu.
The people above just can’t do it! The court of Chu State has the responsibility and obligation to protect every citizen of Chu State! Today, I seek justice for all the Jianghu people of Chu State who have been insulted by your poisonous scorpion sect!”
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the Chu people among the casual cultivators around him trembled, then raised their heads and looked at Xu Qing, and then couldn't help but feel a sore nose...
Jianghu people like them are called cosmopolitan at best, and wandering at worst. In their eyes, the imperial court is full of corrupt officials, and all the crows in the world are as black as black. There is no difference.
But now when I think back to my days in the world, there are no figures like corrupt officials in the imperial court.
As long as there are people gathering, such things are inevitable...
But now, at the end, this high-ranking official of the imperial court told them that rivers and lakes have no borders, but rivers and lakes people do. He has no control over how the Zhou sect is in other countries, but he can't bully the rivers and lakes people of Chu State!
This feeling is wonderful and exciting. For the first time, the thoughts and thoughts of these wandering cultivators are connected with the country they live in...
Xu Qing swept through the Poison Scorpion disciples, Mingxun, and the other three sects. Finally, he looked at the helpless cultivators who came to watch and said:
"I know that many of you have been bullied by the disciples of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect. Today, all Jianghu people in Chu State can report any grievances to me. The crimes committed by the Poisonous Scorpion Sect and its disciples
I will try and judge your crimes in accordance with the law, and give you justice. Please remember that you are from the Chu country, and you can talk about your own affairs behind closed doors slowly, but if the sects of other countries want to bully you, the imperial court
I won’t agree!”
When Xu Qing said this, many Jianghu people from Chu State had tears in their eyes. Things in Jianghu have their own rules, and the unchanging rule of Jianghu is that whoever has the bigger fist is the right one. But now the court wants to replace it.
People like them, who have always been dissatisfied with government discipline, came forward.
How could they not be moved by this?
Of course, although they were moved, they did not dare to move because the Ming family was still surrounded by elite soldiers at this moment.
But at this time, there were already a lot of discussions among the casual cultivators around him. Just now he claimed to be a marquis, and he should be a marquis, but I don’t know which marquis he is. But how could there be such a young marquis in Chu State?
At this moment, among the people around him, a man in civilian clothes with a scar on his left face suddenly stood up and looked at Xu Qing, with a bit of uncertainty and a bit of joy in his tone, and asked: "
Your Excellency... Your Excellency, you are the Marquis of Anding County and the President of the National Business Academy, Mr. Xu Qing?"
When the man in cloth asked this question, many people in the world suddenly raised their heads and looked at Xu Qing with a bit of uncertainty in their eyes.
Xu Qing looked at the clothed man in surprise: "Do you know me?"
The face of the common man was suddenly filled with joy: "It's really Mr. Xu!"
Not only the commoner man, but also the many people around him looked at Xu Qing with eyes full of conviction and joy.
Xu Qing looked at the commoner man and the people around him with confused expressions. He had always lived in a temple and had not had much interaction with the martial arts world. Why were they so excited when they saw him?
Xu Qing asked doubtfully: "We... know each other?"
The man in cloth clasped his fists and said: "Although the grassroots and others have never met Mr. Xu, they have heard of Mr. Xu's name for a long time. There was a big disaster in Fengzhou last year, and the land was annexed by the Huang family.
The state was overbearing, and it was Marquis Xu who punished the Huang family, and then the imperial court took back the land of the Huang family to the government. Marquis Xu also begged your majesty several times to reduce the tax burden for the state for half a year. These measures were righteous, and in the world
The reputation of Lord Shanghou has spread so widely that many farmers in Fengzhou have even built shrines for him, and the common people also sincerely admire him for his righteousness."
Xu Qing was slightly startled when he heard this. He remembered that after he told the old emperor about nationalizing the land, it was the old emperor who took the initiative to issue an order to reduce the tax burden on farmers in the feudal states, right?
Why did I ask the old emperor so hard several times?
I am still righteous...
No, no, no...I am not a righteous person...
But that's not all that important. What's important is... why did you build a shrine for yourself?
Xu Qing looked at the man in the world who looked at him with sincere eyes...
Although tax reductions and exemptions really have nothing to do with me, the atmosphere has been heightened here...
