The funeral of the hero of the Beggar Gang became a complete farce. People in the Jianghu felt that the Gang was arrogant and overbearing, and the Gang felt that the people in the Gang were ungrateful.
It was inevitable that the two sides had formed a feud. The two elders of Chuan Gong and Law Enforcement also hurried over. They originally stayed in the Central Plains because Lu Hanjiang went north, but they did not expect that the leader of the Lu Gang would cause such a big thing in the North.
things.
I finally met Lu Hanjiang, but was deceived by him for a while.
In fact, Lu Hanjiang's methods were not very clever. Many of the ways he taught the disciples of the Beggar Clan were laying the foundation for the future. Anyone with some foresight could see the flaws in them.
For example, Lu Hanjiang forced the Beggar Gang step by step to the point where he had no relatives. This kind of policy of estrangement from the righteousness of the world, a discerning person could tell at a glance that he had bad intentions, but now everyone thinks that the leader of the Lu Gang has great wisdom.
, he is playing a big game of chess.
Not only the Beggar Gang itself, but also Shaolin, Wudang and other major sects in the martial arts world do not dare to underestimate them. They all believe that the Beggar Gang has great intentions, and they are stepping up their defenses.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is because the reputation of the old gang leader Liang Benlang is so great that no one has ever thought that there was actually something wrong with this gang leader Lu from the beginning.
Lu Hanjiang established his righteousness by relying on the reputation of Old Gang Leader Liang, and used several incidents to overwhelm all the major factions in the world. Even the Jin Yiwei did not give him a good look, letting everyone understand his methods.
With both prestige and strength, Lu Hanjiang, the leader of the gang, is naturally as stable as a rock. Now, even if he is clearly doing evil and bringing the Beggar Gang into the pit of fire, the disciples will firmly believe that their gang leader must be far-sighted, but they are too short-sighted.
Just can't see it.
Through a series of events, Lu Hanjiang has packaged himself as a master of the world. Now his every move will be deeply interpreted by various factions in the world, and every move attracts the attention of the entire world.
After reaching this point, Lu Hanjiang can actually stop. He doesn't even need to do it himself. As long as he gives some specious orders to the Beggar Clan disciples from time to time, this ancient sect will immediately fall into the abyss.
However, Lu Hanjiang was not in a hurry to take the final step at this time. Firstly, he had to use this identity to attend Gongsun Cheng's crowning ceremony. Secondly, the incident of the Beggar Clan disciples besieging and killing Xue Rakshasa gave him a lot of trouble.
Inspire.
The general premise that he intends to use the help of Jianghu to get rid of the Beggar Gang has not changed, but the actual operation can be somewhat different.
In the past, what he wanted was to destroy the reputation of the Beggar Clan, and then distort the Beggar Clan's guiding ideology and let them destroy themselves in the world. But now, he suddenly discovered that such a large group of Beggar Clan disciples could be used if they were used
Wouldn't it be perfect cannon fodder to deal with those unsightly sects?
Once this idea came up, it was like a spark falling on paper that could no longer be suppressed. Lu Hanjiang immediately had several goals in his mind, but he put them down for the time being, because before that, he had to return to something.
Travel to the capital.
There is no other reason. If you want to use the power of the Beggar Gang to attack other Jianghu sects, you first need to effectively deploy its power. After all, no matter how stupid the cow is, it cannot be controlled unless it is given grass to eat.
When he was in Qingshi City, he had thought about taking the land south of the Yangtze River into his arms. Now that he has the Beggar Gang in his hands, he can be more ugly and wipe out the remaining small fish and shrimps in the south of the Yangtze River.
But there is an insurmountable force among them. It is neither a demonic path nor a righteous path, and it does not even belong to the Jianghu. However, it has a special status in the land south of the Yangtze River.
To be precise, it has special significance for Lu Hanjiang, who has the dual identity of the leader of the Beggar Clan and the governor of the Jin Yi Guard.
That force is Meihua Academy, owned by Baimei Master Luo Yuanjing, and one of the most prosperous places for contemporary Confucianism.
Luo Yuanjing once lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, under the pseudonym Baimei, and had a few disciples, but he did not run it in a big way. This Meihua Academy was founded by his disciple Qi Yunzhou after Luo Yuanjing came to Beijing to become an official.
Luo Fuzi was the dean and appointed himself acting dean.
The academy itself is a place for teaching and educating people. It is neither involved in the imperial party disputes nor has anything to do with the disputes in the Jianghu. Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with it. The problem that makes Lu Hanjiang an eyesore is that the dean Luo Yuan is far away in the capital.
mirror.
Although Lao Buxiu supports the crown prince's influence, he is not on the same path as the crown princess, or even the former prince. He is considered a "holy grandson" and does not value the powerful crown princess or the domineering prince.
But everyone has been in the officialdom, and who doesn’t feel like Mingjing? Luo Fuzi seems not to rely on both sides, which means that he is still hesitating, and there is still a possibility that he will waver, which means that he may be attracted by either party.
Win over.
Because it is obvious that it is really difficult for him to rely on his own efforts to pull together a faction that purely supports the rise of the "Saint Sun".
It's not that Lu Hanjiang doesn't think highly of this old master. Let's talk about the facts. The prince, the princess, and even Qiao Shifang later were all disciples taught by him himself. But in the end, good guys, none of them had the same path as him.
At this level, it is difficult for Lu Hanjiang to believe that he can maintain his seemingly neutral position for how long.
Now that he plans to use the Beggar Gang to cause trouble, after occupying the land of Jiangnan, other than the Jin Yiwei and the Beggar Gang, no third party forces will be allowed to put their hands into Jiangnan, so Meihua Academy looks very annoying.
After all, if one day the old man falls in love with the prince or the princess, wouldn't it bloom in the center of his territory?
After the incident at the Dongfang family last time, Lu Hanjiang no longer had any doubts about the Crown Princess' ability. This person was the same as him. They were both born gamblers, and they were also the kind who were favored by God.
For others, whether something is done or not, there is a 70% probability that you can start planning, an 80% probability that you can further consider it, a 90% probability that you can take a gamble, and a 100% probability that you can give it a try.
But for destiny gamblers like Lu Hanjiang and the Crown Princess, they only need a 30% chance to put all their chips in the game.
This was the case with the Dongfang family's siege. The Crown Princess had no conclusive evidence to prove that "Lu Qi" was Lu Hanjiang. Everything was just her conjecture. But just the slightest possibility made her bet on the Dongfang family's fortune.
trump card.
From the subsequent analysis of the situation, whether this matter is successful or not, the Dongfang Family's card will be discarded. It can be seen that the courage of the Crown Princess is beyond the reach of others.
So when Luo Yuanjing turned to her side, it didn't depend on how strong the old master's self-control was, but when the Crown Princess planned to use him to cause trouble in Jiangnan.
Although the old man is now highly respected and can be called the mainstay of Confucianism, and even Mr. Meng has a high opinion of him, Lu Hanjiang has a hunch that if the Crown Princess wants to plot against him, he is afraid that the old man will do it before he can react.
Enter the game.
So he had to guard against it.
After giving some instructions to Elder Qi, Lu Hanjiang hurried back to Beijing. The first thing he wanted to do was naturally give gifts. After being away for such a long time, it was his duty to bring some gifts to his family and friends when he came back.
Secondly, Lu Hanjiang visited the Imperial College the next day after returning to Beijing to catch up with the old master.
