Chapter 133: Awakening a bright moon, full of snow and ice
Hundreds of rivers flow!
When Lu Jing answered, his tone was serious and careful.
Even though he still has shackles on his hands, even though behind him are the young ministers of Dali Temple and the two temple tigers escorting him, even though the person questioning him is Jiang Baishi, the chief minister of Taishu Pavilion at that time!
But he still said the word "no regrets".
Jiang Baishi looked down at him.
There were many people on both sides of the street who heard Lu Jing's words, and they passed them from word to mouth. The words were calm and did not seem to be mixed with many mighty and thunderous words, so they were passed from mouth to mouth.
In the eyes of countless people, the white cow, the chariot, the noble man, and the tall and tall young man seemed to form an indescribable scene.
It's as if Mount Cuiwei is about to collapse and pour down, breaking the paths of many people.
So there was a young man who was not that tall and weak, with shackles on his hands, and he used his shoulders and spine, full of blood and youthful loyalty, to hold up the collapsing mountain.
This feeling is quite strange.
It was the princess with a high level of cultivation who couldn't help but picture this strange scene in her mind after hearing Lu Jing's few whispers.
Princess Chong’an didn’t realize it was weird at all!
"The First Assistant asked him if he was helping him or if he wanted to get him off the hook. Lu Jing only had to answer that he regretted it and that he shouldn't have been so impulsive. This would be easier for Lu Jing.
It’s just...Lu Jing..."
Princess Chong'an turned her head and, like everyone else here, looked at the young gentleman who had become famous in Taixuanjing in a very short time, but she didn't know where his persistence came from.
"Perhaps it comes from the long-standing quagmire in the Lu family, and from the misery of Qing Yue who depends on her for life."
Princess Chong'an couldn't help but think so.
When Jiang Baishi vaguely admitted in his words that Xu Baiyan had committed great evil, Jingyin Street became even more silent.
Many people on this street also witnessed Lu Jingjian beheading Xu Baiyan under the Misty Rain Bridge that night!
Lu Jing's decisiveness when he wielded his sword with an expressionless face, and Feng Lei's impassioned expression when he composed his vow to kill, all echoed in their minds.
Especially the young scholars, their faces are all red at this moment!
They gritted their teeth, with Lu Jing's casual words just now still echoing in their minds.
Words are like ripples in the breeze.
When it falls on the ears of these scholars who have read the words of saints for a long time, it is like stars falling, mountains collapsing, and rivers flowing into the sea!
"gentlemen……"
When countless people were silent, a swordsman was depressed, but he tried his best to speak loudly: "There is so much suffering in the world, and there are countless thorns on the road.
You are holding the sword today to kill the injustice. Only by not regretting can you live up to the words of the sage. You are not killing the injustice with random thoughts, and you are not using force to disrupt the ban!
You use the words of the Holy King to kill injustice, cut down thorns, and eliminate suffering.
Although he is a young man, he is willing to bear the shackles for justice and dares to be furious for justice. Please accept...student's bow."
The sword took a step forward, facing Lu Jing from a distance...
Take the disciple’s salute and bow!
As soon as the swordsman bowed, another poor scholar said loudly: "Sir's sword is like the bright sun, his writing is like the whistling wind and thunder, and his three-foot sword is as powerful as Mount Tai. Every word and every action expresses the spirit in my chest!"
Yu's family is poor, and he studied at a young age, but because he was poor and short of breath, he could not develop a strong body. In the face of the teacher, I realized that all the young people in the world can't be judged by their origins. Thank you, Mr.
…
On both sides of Jingyin Street, many young scholars saluted Lu Jing, and many library students thanked Lu Jing.
Many people watching seemed to be affected by this scene.
In today's world, ordinary people naturally have a kind of respect for scholars.
When many scholars respected Lu Jing so much in front of them, these common people finally began to think more...
——The incorruptible Jiang Shoufu, who is admired by all the people in Dafu, has bluntly said that Xu Baiyan is evil!
They thought again of countless scholars writing in the streets and alleys.
I thought of the shocking words in it, of those innocent children, and then of my own children.
With various thoughts.
The shackled young man in the distance, but with his back still straight and not bent at all, now looked so fearless, so... tall.
Just like what Jiang Shoufu said!
This young man named Lu Jing was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He only had to follow the steps step by step, preach the teachings carefully, and practice seriously, and he achieved achievements that ordinary people could never imagine.
If he didn't have pure energy, if he didn't have the passion for justice, why would he be able to kill evildoers with his sword, and why would he be a prisoner of this rank?
…
With all these factors in mind, the way many people looked at Lu Jing had clearly changed.
The girl Hancai next to Pei Yingui opened her mouth. After a long time, she lowered her head and said, "Miss, the Third Emperor...the Third Young Master was also trying to make a living for the common people at that time."
Pei Yingui's body suddenly trembled, probably because he remembered something terrible, and he took a deep breath before calming down.
She whispered: "Most of the people who killed him have fallen to the ground, and only one person is left sitting high on the throne.
No need to rush!”
Pei Yingui and Miss Hancai squeezed out of the crowd, but suddenly stopped, stood on tiptoe, and glanced at the young man's back.
She had no reason to think of the young man who pretended to be drunk and broke a bottle of precious sake in order to help several children escape danger that night on Yanglu Street.
"It's not surprising." Pei Yingui fluttered in white clothes and left Jingyin Street.
In the distance, Jiang Baishi was still looking down at the scene.
His eyes were as deep as ever, but he frowned: "You know, there are many things that cannot be impulsive. The emperor regards you as a noble noble. You kill people with a sword to uphold the words of the sage. He cannot bear the appearance of evildoers in this clear world and does not want to be ashamed.
The word Qinggui.
But there are many energetic people in the world who cannot see good and evil. What if they draw their swords and commit crimes based on their own thoughts?
You also need to seriously reflect on this matter."
Jiang Baishi said this.
Lu Jing looked at Jiang Baishi with a hint of gratitude.
Jiang Baishi is the chief assistant of Taishu Pavilion. There is a reason why he is asking in front of so many people at this moment.
Naturally, Lu Jing could also tell that Jiang Baishi had grasped the number "The Emperor points me to be noble" that he deliberately left in his slogan, and wanted to use it to help him.
So Lu Jing raised his locked hands and saluted Jiang Baishi.
Jiang Baishi nodded slowly.
Behind him, the young minister of Dali Temple and the two temple tigers bowed respectfully.
The young minister of Dali Temple wearing a high crown was much more solemn when he spoke to Lu Jing.
"Mr. Lu Jing, please."
Lu Jing nodded slightly and continued to move forward.
Many scholars also saluted.
Someone shouted: "Sir, you punish the lawless with the words of the sage. What crime do you have? The disciples of the library are waiting for your safe return!"
Then, there was another familiar figure in the distance.
The voice had a strong physique, a resolute face, and a beautiful beard hanging down. He laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Lu Jing did not use force to cause chaos, but used the words of the sage to kill evildoers and arouse the justice of many young people in Taixuanjing! This is thunderous,
To avoid the turmoil, please sir, keep your heart upright, be impartial, and set an example for young people all over the world!"
When Lu Jing heard this familiar voice, he turned his head and saw Guan Changsheng, several library gentlemen, Yuan Zhushan, Jiang Hu and many other library disciples standing on the street.
These library gentlemen and library disciples showed admiration on their faces and held court.
When Lu Jing saw these people, he couldn't help but smile.
In addition to admiration, the faces of several library gentlemen and library disciples also showed some worry.
But there was no trace of worry in Guan Changsheng's eyes, instead there was a hint of smile.
So Lu Jing also smiled at them and said loudly: "Awaken the bright moon, shine on me full of ice and snow, and let hundreds of rivers flow!
Lu Jing is honored and would like to thank you all."
His tone was full of joy and joy, as if he was delighted to see so many people of the same mind.
When his laughter fell, he turned around and walked forward without looking back.
At this moment, even the young minister of Dali Temple was following behind him.
Lu Jing took the lead and walked with his head held high.
If there were no shackles that locked his hands, people on the street might have thought that the Dali Temple Shaoqing and the two temple tigers behind him were his followers and not the people escorting him.
However... the shackles on Lu Jing's hands suddenly trembled slightly.
Someone came from a distance riding a strange horse with silver horns on its head, a red body and a pair of red wings.
The horse's hooves landed on the bluestone slab, making a dull thunderous sound.
Everyone looked around and saw a man with a raised body and thunder in his eyes coming on horseback.
When he came to Jingyin Street, the young minister of Dali Temple felt helpless. He only felt that Jingyin Street, which was several miles long, was so difficult to walk.
Not only was there a huge crowd of people, but there were also many dignitaries who even he, the Young Minister, wanted to bow to respectfully.
In desperation, he also hurriedly saluted.
In the distance, there were shouts from the mountains and the sea, and I don’t know how many people hurriedly bowed down.
Because this heroic man is the current prince!
The prince seemed not to have heard these calls.
He came to Lu Jing and the others, reined in his horse, looked up and down, and said casually: "Killing someone to protect the Holy Word, even though it is impulsive, can still be considered meritorious.
The specifics of this matter can only be decided after the trial in Dali Temple.
Since he has not been convicted, it would be fine if he were someone else. Lu Jing is a scholar with a respectable status. Even if he went to the atrium of Dali Temple, he would not kneel down... In this case, why should he be held in chains? "
The young minister of Dali Temple raised his head and looked at the prince.
Most of the people in the distance have already prostrated themselves, and many gentlemen who do not want to do so are avoiding him.
The place was silent, and most people had never heard the prince's words.
But then, someone saw...
The prince stretched out his finger, but with just one finger, a stream of murderous blood flowed through him.
The shackles on Lu Jing's hands actually broke into several pieces and fell down, hitting the bluestone floor with a crisp sound!
Before Lu Jing or the young minister of Dali Temple could react, Prince Yu Zhuoxian took the reins of his horse again and rode through Jingyin Street.
Never said a word to Lu Jing.
His back was broad and he could carry mountains. Many people watched him leave with admiration in their eyes.
In a restaurant in the distance, Li Yushi's eyes flickered and his expression was a little gloomy.
"This Lu Jing is really unexpected. He acted too impulsively."
Behind Li Yushi, the Shenhuo cultivator in black robes pondered for a while and said: "This Lu Jing's talent is astonishing. He has suffered a great loss in soul but he can still break through to the realm of transformation.
Moreover, his sword energy stirs up the blazing sun and can cut down long rivers. He is so domineering that he can actually cut down the real palace with his divine thoughts.
Today the prince came in person to untie his shackles, presumably because he took a fancy to his talent."
When Li Yushi heard what the black-robed monk said, he finally had a smile on his face and said: "Because of this, I have been feeling more and more happy in the past two days. I heard that the prince's party is also looking for repairs."
The treasure of Yuanshen has already gone to Zhuxing Mountain to ask for the North Que Sea Dragon Pearl. Zhuxing Mountain is far away, and it will definitely take a long time to go back and forth.
When the Seventh Prince opened his mansion and took out the Nine God Lotus, the matter was already settled and there were no more variables. The Seventh Prince's mansion could have such a genius and the Third Prince of the Dragon King of Beique, even if he was not as majestic as the Crown Prince at this time.
Just wait a few more years..."
The Shenhuo monk's skinny face also showed recognition, and he immediately asked: "Just like this... Master of the Black Stone Hall..."
The smile on Li Yushi's face gradually faded, and he said with some pity: "The master of Blackstone Hall is the nail that drives me into the Huai Gang. Xu Baiyan's incident happened, but I don't know if Lu Jing knows that it was Xu Baiyan who assassinated him. If he already knows, he will definitely investigate."
this matter.
Moreover, the Shantang incident has caused an uproar, and the second leader of the Huai Gang left the capital last night. In this case... it is most appropriate to let the leader of the Black Stone Hall also leave Xuandu."
"It's just... if this happens, the Master of Blackstone Hall will attract the attention of the Huai Gang. Please don't contact him again in the near future."
The skinny Shenhuo cultivator just disappeared into the shadows.
Li Yushi looked at Lu Jing who disappeared at the end of Jingyin Street from a distance, his eyes showing lust again.
"Let the Master of the Black Stone Hall leave and Xu Baiyan die. This matter will not leave any clues. When Lu Jing has fully grown up... we must also eliminate the hidden danger of the Master of the Black Stone Hall to prevent many problems from arising out of nothing."
——
Dali Temple, in charge of the trial of prison cases.
In other words, Dali Temple is the highest judicial authority in Dafu, responsible for reviewing serious prison cases in various places and making the final decision.
Dali Temple also attaches great importance to Lu Jing's case, otherwise it would never send important ministers like the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to fetch Lu Jing.
After Lu Jing was led into the Dali Temple prison, he sat cross-legged in the prison, imagining the great sage Yantian of the Ming Dynasty and practicing the Dongyue Refining Mystery Canon.
This prison should be used to house important prisoners. Except for the fact that the four walls are made of extremely hard metal, the other conditions are much better than those of the Jingyin Mansion secret prison.
Everything is provided for washing, beds, bedding, and even the latrine is separate.
Lu Jing didn't care about these things, and he was quite happy now that he was alone.
By now, he has a clear idea and has done everything he wanted to do.
Lu Jing also never expected that Jiang Baishi and the prince would come in person.
It was unusual for the chief minister of Taishu Pavilion and the prince to come to see Lu Jing.
Every word and deed of these two extremely important figures has profound meaning!
But the underlying meaning is that it is a good thing for Lu Jing.
This kind of character clearly understands the evil of Xu Baiyan, who wields a sword to kill injustice for Lu Jing, and wears a hat that is as heavy as Mount Tai and is filled with golden light.
This hat was placed on Lu Jing's head, and no one could take it off except the sage who sat high on the throne.
A chivalrous person who uses force to break the law?
A teenager ignores the law and kills people in the street?
These harsh criticisms no longer exist.
Now what he has to wait for is the fierce public opinion...
Although one night has passed, there is still today's incident on Jingyin Street.
But if this matter is to spread throughout Taixuanjing, it still needs some... breeze.
Blow the scent of flowers that are already in full bloom throughout Taixuanjing, and bring justice to those children who died!
The truth is just like this...
On Jingyin Street, the chief assistant of Taishu Pavilion Jiang Baishi came in an ox cart, and his conversation with Lu Jing spread throughout Taixuan Beijing with lightning speed.
Jiang Shoufu's response to Xu Baiyan's evil deeds was like catkins in the spring.
Catkins are blown up by the wind, and snow is flying all over the sky!
This incident has become a household name in a very short period of time.
Including Jiang Baishi, the prince went to Jingyin Street.
Jiang Baishi was like an elder to the young man, teaching him not to be impulsive when things happen.
And the prince came on horseback and took off the shackles on Lu Jing's hands... People nearby also vaguely heard that the prince bluntly said that he was the protector of the holy king and was not guilty!
All these things are amazing, but they have only lit a fire in the hearts of many people.
What really ignites this fire is...
Li Shen, a great scholar of the time, wrote an article in his palace, angrily criticizing many yamen in the court, Taixuan Jingyin Mansion, Dali Temple, and even Su Xuanjun were included in his article.
"The sun is shining brightly, and it can reveal evil spirits and ghosts.
Although you have the authority, you are unable to expose this evil in Xuandu!
If this young man had not held the sword in his hand and had the words of the Holy Lord in his heart, and witnessed such great evil, how many children would have fallen into the clutches of the demon?"
Li Shen was an important Confucian scholar in the history of the Qing Dynasty. He publicly wrote this article in the high hall of his mansion when many guests came to visit, which shows that he was extremely angry!
Suddenly, memorials from the Qing Dynasty came one after another, not only from Jingyin Mansion, Dali Temple, and Su Xuanjun.
Many mansions that had good relations with Xu Baiyan were impeached.
"Because you have no vision, you have turned into a big dead tree. Although it has no green leaves, under the dense branches, it can still shelter the snakes, rats and monsters!"
Speak to the official!
Before submitting the memorial, he often cursed in public, so the contents of these memorials were known to countless people in Taixuanjing.
Faced with such fierce public opinion and the presence of many adults watching in the court, these great palaces were frightened to the extreme.
Many mansions followed the notices, punishing their own children, and frankly stated that they would donate a lot of property. Someone with high moral character and respectability would supervise and take charge, and then establish a charity hall to truly benefit the people.
And after this episode...
On the streets, there are many storytellers talking about the evils of Shantang.
The handsome ones are slaves and prostitutes, the strong ones are evil spirits, the weak ones cut off their feet and poke their eyes to beg, and the sick and weak ones are abandoned...
When the storyteller slaps Xingmu in his hand, it is full of the extreme evil behind Shantang. It is full of misery, full of blood and tears, and it is no exaggeration to say that the world is miserable.
The vast majority of people already believe it, and some who have more conspiracy theories still don’t believe it.
By the third day, more details had spread throughout Taixuanjing.
Many great scholars in Taixuan Capital spoke out about this matter, and the evil of the Huai Gang was also made public!
The Red Lion, Shiyamen, Su Xuanjun, Suweilang, and city defense troops of Jingyin Mansion all dispatched one after another to investigate the Sophora Gang in Taixuan Jing.
This incident... actually caused such an uproar.
Except this level.
Lu Jing's name resounded throughout Taixuanjing.
Lu Jing's "Oath to Kill" text was copied by many famous pen and ink masters and hung in pen and ink studios everywhere.
"When a wild man sees injustice in anger, he wears out the eternal knife in his chest!"
"If it is justice, I will go despite all the disasters!"
"Awaken the bright moon one day, shine on me full of ice and snow, and let hundreds of rivers flow!"
"Young man is energetic and dares to fight injustice in the world. He is worthy of the word justice!"
"Lu Jing!"
"I don't regret it..."
…
Lu Jing's many words have been recited by everyone in Taixuanjing.
The people are suffering a lot, and if someone complains about them, how can they not respect them?
Especially after knowing the evil of Xu Baiyan and the Huai Gang, as much as they hated Xu Baiyan, they were grateful and admired Lu Jing.
"All the young men in Xuandu are from ordinary backgrounds. Although they are also young masters of a wealthy family, they were treated harshly by the family and were almost reduced to a lowly status. Just like Lu Jing, who is no different from ordinary people, he has a strong sense of righteousness in his heart."
Ji Yuanzhi said this about Lu Jing.
The Jiuhu Lu family and Nanfu were once again brought out for discussion by the people of Xuandu.
In the past, engagements and letters of farewell were only discussed as entertainment and jokes after dinner, which was a glimpse into the life in these luxurious mansions.
This time it’s all about angry talk!
Many people affectionately call Lu Jing Mr. Xiao Jing.
The cold eyes Mr. Xiao Jing received in the past are now being repaid by many people on behalf of Mr. Xiao Jing.
When the manager of the Lu family in Jiuhu goes out to buy something, the price is much higher and he gets scolded.
The price of calligraphy copying Lu Jing's cursive script has soared in the past few days, and many calligraphy studios are out of stock.
Someone in Taixuan Capital also secretly contacted the students of Hanmo Academy and wanted to obtain some of Mr. Xiaojing's original cursive scripts.
I want to see how much righteousness and sharpness Mr. Xiaojing’s real writing and ink contains!
The fourth day, the fifth day...
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple personally interrogated Lu Jing many times and recorded many files.
And the people of Taixuanjing became increasingly impatient.
At the entrance of Dali Temple, people come and wait every day.
The people in Taixuan Jing didn't dare to shout loudly, and they didn't dare to shout for the Yamen to release him.
But he just came to wait in front of Dali Temple every day. When the guard asked, he just said that he was waiting for someone. Several times he was driven away, but more and more people came.
The Minister of Dali Temple had already been scolded, and perhaps he found this to be a good opportunity, so he went out to Dali Temple many times to express condolences to these people.
Qing Yue, Sheng Zi, Lin Lonicera, Ning Qiang, Lu Yi... also come every day.
However, after two or three days, the weather became colder and colder, and Ning Qiang's body felt a little unbearable.
In addition to Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Zhong was deeply disgusted with this unreasonable disaster and did not allow Ning Qiang and Lu Yi to leave the house.
For the sake of Ning Qiang's health, Lu Yi stayed with her in the house and never caused a lot of trouble.
Two more days...
The matter between the government and the opposition has been settled, and more than a dozen officials have been removed from office.
Taixuan Jingyin and Su Xuanjun general were severely reprimanded by the court and fined for several years!
Many of the disciples of the wealthy family who had a good friendship with Xu Baiyan also had their wrists cut off by those strong men of the noble family. Those who left the capital left the capital, and those who were engaged were engaged.
In this matter, Shengfu and Dazhuguofu have always been invisible and have never flowed into this turbulent flow.
The people's public opinion is becoming more and more fierce, and they want Mr. Xiaojing to clear his grievances and return to the library to teach.
"To hold the sword for the Holy Word is not to kill people for the sake of pleasure, not to use force to suppress the law, and not to be punished by law!"
This view was widely spread in Taixuan, and many people already understood the difference.
Lu Jing has been at Dali Temple for many days and has no idea what is going on outside.
But the food given to him by Dali Temple became better and more delicious every day.
The tenth day in prison.
Lu Jing, who was drinking tea, looked up and saw someone squatting in front of the cell looking at him.
"Nanfengmian..."
Lu Jing looked around: "This is Dali Temple Prison, how did you get in?"
Nan Fengmian smiled casually, and the Xinggu Master on his waist made a soft sound.
He didn't answer. Lu Jing thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right. If you want to come in, the temple tigers really won't be able to detect you, let alone stop you."
