Chapter 81: Birds of a feather (first order requested)
"Bring him here!" Qin Wei said.
After a while, Tian Sixin and He Zhijie followed the soldier to Qin Wei.
"I pay homage to Your Highness!" the two of them bowed.
Qin Wei waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
He looked at the chessboard, seeming to be thinking about the chess game in front of him.
Li Ru glanced at Tian Sixin and his eyes fell on the chessboard without saying a word.
Xiao Shunzi and Wang An next to them were even more speechless.
Seeing this, Tian Sixin and He Zhijie couldn't help but look at each other.
Everyone was silent, and they didn't know whether they should speak or not.
The sound of chess pieces falling down was heard, and Tian Sixin felt more and more depressed.
After a long time, he finally couldn't help but said: "Your Highness!"
"ah!"
Qin Wei raised his head in astonishment.
"Oh, Mr. Tian, why are you still standing? Xiao Shunzi, why don't you bring a chair for Mr. Tian and prepare some tea?"
"No, no, just stand still!" Tian Sixin waved his hand and said.
Seeing him like this, Qin Wei couldn't help but feel angry.
He also understood the little old man's character. At best, he was cautious, and at worst, he was mediocre and inactive.
If you don't force him, he won't do anything.
After arriving in Tianzhou City for more than half a month, Qin Wei secretly asked him to help Zhenwu Si several times. As a result, the old man kept pretending to be stupid, neither fully supporting nor hiding.
It seems that everything is just business, but as long as Qin Wei doesn't speak, he will never take the initiative to do anything.
"Master Tian, do you have something to do with me?" Qin Wei asked.
"I have something I want to discuss with His Highness." Tian Sixin lowered his head and said with a gentle brow.
"What's up?"
"It's just a matter of Chasi."
"Shouldn't we ask Mr. Ji about the Chasi matter? What's the use of asking me?" Qin Wei blinked and said.
"This~" Tian Sixin looked distressed, "Your Highness, now it is not just a matter of Chasi, but a matter of the entire Tianzhou."
"If the Chief Inspector doesn't stop, I'm afraid all the government offices and county offices under Tianzhou will stop."
"Your Highness, we can't investigate any further."
Tian Sixin said with some pleading.
Qin Wei shook his head and scattered the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard.
Although this game of chess has not been played yet, Li Ru has already won.
The trend has been established, and continuing to struggle is in vain.
"Master Tian, do you want to plead for those corrupt officials?"
Tian Sixin said: "No one is here!"
Qin Wei said: "What is Master Tian afraid of?"
Tian Sixin said: "I am afraid that no one in Tianzhou will be an official, no one will dare to be an official, and I am even more afraid that the prestige of the Tianzhou court will be lost."
"On the contrary, I feel that killing a few corrupt officials will be more conducive to improving the prestige of the court." Qin Wei said calmly.
"But you can't kill too many!" Tian Sixin said.
"Not killing is not enough to deter." Qin Wei said.
"Killing a few people is enough!" Tian Sixin said in a low voice.
Qin Wei raised his head, his eyes were like a deep pool, and his voice suddenly changed and he said: "Master Tian is very familiar with Master Tongming from Wanfu Temple!"
Tian Sixin's expression froze, cold sweat instantly oozed from his forehead, and he looked at Qin Wei with fear in his eyes.
"Your Highness, I only have a personal relationship with Master Tongming and have no interests involved."
His voice trembled slightly.
"The interactions between imperial officials and sect forces, even if they are just personal relationships, will be mixed with many invisible and intangible interests."
"In recent years, your Tian family has purchased a lot of properties in Tianzhou, right?"
Qin Wei said unhurriedly.
What does it mean to be like a raccoon dog?
Tian Sixin and He Zhijie are in the same boat.
He Zhijie's family had business dealings with the Lishan Sword Sect, and the Tian family, represented by Tian Sixin, also made a fortune in Tianzhou.
Tian Jixin's expression changed drastically, and the thick bags under his eyes trembled.
Next to him, He Zhijie was trembling all over and his legs were sore.
What does it mean?
Your Highness wants to take action against Mr. Tian?
He Zhijie was shocked and frightened!
He was shocked that Qin Wei would actually attack Tian Sixin, and he was afraid that if Tian Sixin fell, he would definitely be finished too.
And Tian Sixin did not expect that Qin Wei would actually target him.
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and have never sought personal gain for the family!" Tian Sixin said in a panic.
Qin Wei sighed softly.
"Cultivation of one's character, order of family, governance of country, peace of the world!"
"Master Tian, you are also a Confucian student, don't you understand this truth?"
"You don't know that I don't believe what the Tian family has done."
Tian Sixin was not a good official. He was cautious, inactive, and only wanted stability in everything.
But he is not a corrupt official. He does only have a personal relationship with Master Tongming, and there is no interest between them. However, the Tian family has used his influence to do many evil things in Tianzhou.
Cultivate oneself, manage one's family and govern the country.
Tian Sixin only practiced self-cultivation.
"I'm a low-ranking official. I'm a low-ranking official." Tian Sixin didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You are incompetent. Li Zhengkun also said that he is incompetent. Isn't it just because of you incompetent officers that Tianzhou is like this?" Qin Wei said.
He shook his head and ordered in a somewhat depressed mood: "Xiao Shunzi, go and give Ji Lin a message from Chasi, arrest the big ones and release the small ones, and those who surrender will be given a lighter sentence."
"Here!" Xiao Shunzi responded.
Qin Wei looked at Tian Sixin and slowly stood up.
"In Kyoto, Mr. Lu Tonglu is also a cautious person. The Yuezhou Lu family has no property in Kyoto. He even sold off all his previous properties after Mr. Lu Tong became the governor of Shuntian!"
"As an official, you are far behind him!"
The Lu family in Yuezhou and the Tian family in Jiangzhou are both official families in Dali. These families have been passed down for hundreds of years, and many of their children are serving as officials in the court.
They are also a family of officials, but the Lu family of Yuezhou is much smarter than the Tian family of Jiangzhou.
Didn’t the Yuezhou Lu family take advantage of Lu Tong’s influence?
No, they borrowed it!
They were just taking advantage of the situation in Yuezhou.
Although Yuezhou is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, as long as Lu Tong sits in the position of Shuntian Prefecture, Yuezhou officials will have to show some face.
But the clever thing about the Lu family is that they do a good job of superficiality, so that no one can catch anything.
"Go back, let the Tian family withdraw from Tianzhou, cut off contact with Wanfu Temple, and then write a self-defense statement!"
"His Majesty knows everything that I know. You should understand!"
Qin Wei said.
The self-defense letter was not for Qin Wei, but for Emperor Li.
This can be regarded as Qin Wei pointing out a clear path for Tian Sixin.
He didn't want to kill Tian Sixin. Although Tian Sixin did nothing, at least Tian Sixin was honest.
And after this incident, Qin Wei believed that Tian Sixin should understand what he should do and who he should rely on.
Tian Sixin said, and his anxious heart finally calmed down.
"I understand!"
He lowered his head and said.
…
Lishan Sword Sect.
"Elder!"
A disciple came under the green pine tree and handed a letter to Qi Jinfeng.
At this time, Yu Zheng, the leader of the Lishan Sword Sect, had already gone down the mountain with several elders, and only Qi Jinfeng stayed behind to guard the sect.
Qi Jinfeng sat on the bluestone, his old face full of vicissitudes and ravines like a dead tree.
She opened the letter and glanced at the contents, then a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes.
"Ye Gucheng!"
"never heard of that!"
"An unknown person actually wants to challenge senior brother!"
Qi Jinfeng was filled with doubts and confusion.
She can be considered an old person in the world, and knows a lot about the innate warriors in the world.
But she had never heard of the name Ye Gucheng.
It stands to reason that an innate warrior will not appear out of thin air. Before becoming an innate warrior, he is also a ninth-level warrior. In the martial arts world, ninth-level warriors are already considered masters and basically have their own names.
"Where is the messenger?" Qi Jinfeng asked.
"He's gone, he's just a bodyguard." The disciple replied.
Qi Jinfeng thought for a moment and said, "You go down first."
After the disciple retreated, Qi Jinfeng stood up and walked towards the back mountain of Lishan Sword Sect.
Although she thought it was ridiculous for an unknown person to challenge Yu Shan, she did not ignore it easily.
No one should joke about this kind of thing, after all, the majesty of an innate warrior cannot be challenged.
If the other party fails to deliver the letter as scheduled, it will be a provocation to the entire Lishan Sword Sect.
Therefore, Qi Jinfeng estimates that the other party will come, but it is not certain whether he is qualified to challenge Yu Shan.
But no matter what, she needs to tell Yu Shan about this.
…
As many sects attacked, Xueyi Tower suddenly became the target of everyone in Tianzhou.
Seeing this, the martial arts forces in other states in Dali couldn't help but look at each other.
They cannot understand the practices of the Tianzhou Sect, just like they cannot experience the competition between the forces of the Tianzhou Sect.
For them, the establishment of the Zhenwu Division is of no benefit at all, and they will never rely on the Zhenwu Division for the official position of the Zhenwu Division.
But whether they can understand it or not, the martial arts forces in Tianzhou choose this way.
It was difficult for them to intervene even if they wanted to. They could only watch as the martial arts forces in Tianzhou began to move closer to the Zhenwu Division.
At the same time, all the branch owners of the Xueyi Building from various states have arrived in Tianzhou. Some have lost their heads, and some have been captured. However, most of the branch owners still escaped and came to Heiyaling.
On the Black Cliff Ridge.
In a dark cave.
Jin An looked at the figure in front of him with a playful expression.
He was a man with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. Although the corners of his eyes were covered with crow's feet and he looked quite old, he still gave off a handsome and elegant temperament.
"You're still here!" Jin An smiled.
"I want the Yuansha Blood Dissolving Skill." The man deliberately lowered his voice and said.
Jin An said: "I can give you the Yuansha Blood Dissolving Skill, but you have to do me a favor."
"What's the deal?"
"Help Xueyilou survive this crisis."
"I can't do this alone." The man shook his head slightly.
"Then add Wanfu Temple!" A strange smile appeared on Jin An's face.
The man clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Wanfu Temple will not help Xueyilou."
"But you, the abbot, came to beg me! Hahaha~~"
"What a sanctimonious bald ass!" Jin An laughed, his tone full of sarcasm.
The man in front of me is the abbot of Wanfu Temple, the great monk Tongming.
Listening to Jin An's ridicule and scolding, Tongming showed no sign of anger, his face remained calm, and his temperament remained elegant.
"I can go to hell, but not Manpukuji Temple!"
"My place is not hell!" Jin An said.
"To me, this is hell." Tongming said.
Jin An looked at him strangely and couldn't help laughing again.
"You bald donkey is the most hypocritical."
After saying that, he took out a book from his arms and threw it to Tongming.
"I'll give you the Hemolysis Technique, but you have to stay here and help the Blood Clothes Building."
Tongming caught the book and said, "Do your best."
"Haha, since you are in hell, you should act like a ghost, otherwise your identity will be exposed. Don't blame me for not warning you!" Jin An said.
"Amitabha, this poor monk has his heart set on the pagoda, and everything will lead to Buddhahood!" Tongming said calmly.
Jin An's expression became even weirder.
This bald donkey is not only hypocritical, but also extremely thick-skinned.
