Wang Jing's smile froze slightly, and he nodded to every guest who came to congratulate him. Regardless of his status, he was such a person.
Just from the corner of his eye, when he saw Wu Ming, who was half a master, welcoming him with him, he couldn't help but twitching in the corners of his eyes.
From his epiphany to his awakening, it only lasted one day and one night. It was originally a happy event to touch the holy way of Legalism, but Wu Ming's existence completely changed!
Although the nominal Five-Fang Alliance is in name only, it is still stable and balanced. This is one of the reasons why he chose this place. It can be regarded as a testing ground for practicing his legalist ideas.
But because of Wu Ming's arrival, everything changed, and the five families became three.
Faced with an act that was similar to overturning the table, Wang Jing felt as if he had punched the old master to death. Of course, he was the old master and vomited blood in depression.
Although there were countless reasons or Legalist laws to regulate Wu Ming in one hundred and eight ways, it just didn't work, because the "three deficiencies" were actually the most logical sayings of the Legalists, and they were his countless years of pursuit of the truth.
He didn't understand how Wu Ming could have such true knowledge and insights when he was only eighteen years old.
The destruction of the Five-Fang Alliance Experimental Field is like bricking up the windows of a house with walls on all sides, and smashing open a door arrogantly!
Which one is better, windows or doors? Even a fool knows how to choose.
As for the guests coming and going, everyone with a discerning eye knows it very well, but they can't guess the details. They all assume that they don't know, but their attitude towards Wu Ming is even more enthusiastic.
Can you not be eager?
The Five-Fang Alliance is over, but the Five-Fang Town is still there. Two of them have no masters, or there are only a few rotten fish and shrimps left in the two houses. They are just fat meat that anyone can take a bite of.
In the past, no one dared to make a decision, but now with the appearance of Wu Ming, what is brought is not the dawn, but the fat is brought to the mouth.
No need to remind you that the remaining people in the two families will be torn to pieces by the beasts that smell the fishy smell around them!
This prince is a righteous man. He made a righteous statement and would never condone the murderer. This was a statement and it did not mean that he would interfere at all.
As a result, those who wanted to get involved in the two towns took on the responsibility of dealing with the aftermath with a tacit understanding, and expressed to Wu Ming tactfully that he would have no worries.
Wang Jing was very smart and could see through the intrigue between the visitor and Wu Ming at a glance. He knew clearly that Wu Ming did it, but he was helpless.
He can make a fire with just a handful of sticks, but he can't change the facts!
Seeing through is one thing, but the key point is that there is no evidence!
This is the difference between a gentleman and a villain. The key is that Wang Jing is still very rigid and an honest person. Of course, this honest person was slapped hard by Wu Ming just now, and now he is a little confused!
Originally, with his strength, he could cast a big net immediately and catch all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under Wu Ming, but he realized that one day and one night, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals had already dived!
Wu Ming, a real dragon who is as cunning and cunning as a loach, is left alone to stir up trouble and rain outside, but there is nothing he can do!
"Elder Qingjue of Taiqing Palace Discipline Hall has arrived!"
At this moment, a high-pitched roll call came from the front door.
"Why!"
Wang Jing rubbed his temples and glared at Wu Ming, who was pretending to be innocent, but did not move.
So what about the Taiqing Palace? They were just powerful men who relied on their power to dominate one side, dominate and disrupt the laws and regulations of the court!
As a true scholar and a pioneer of Legalism, Wang Jing has an almost instinctive hatred for sects and aristocratic families!
Even Taiqing Palace, which has a good reputation in the world...
There are three reasons for sitting in Wuyunpo. The first is to repay the favor of Prince Wu, the second is to use it as a experimental field, and the third is that the Taiqing Palace is a hard nut to crack here!
This is also the reason why Wu Ming admired Wang Jing, so he sent him to a dead end without hesitation!
Yes, Wang Jing doesn't know, or pretends not to know, this is a dead end, but with his character, even if he knew, he would be happy with it.
This is his path, and there is nothing wrong with it. He is even grateful to Wu Ming for saving him countless time and not wasting years to find this path.
Even a single-plank bridge!
The fundamental reason why Wu Ming sent him to his death was that this was a world where force ruled the roost. Even if Wang Jing had the power to suppress the current world, he would be nothing more than a handful of loess after his death, and everything would disappear.
Just like the stubborn husband in the previous life, his life was full of ups and downs, and he died in depression. It took thousands of years for his name to be rectified!
There are three major forces in the world, the imperial court, the aristocratic family, and the sect, but they will not allow him to create a real legal system, because that will weaken the power of all parties.
Therefore, this is a dead end and doomed to failure!
And Wu Ming's behavior style is destined to make him an enemy. When one day he does something extraordinary, Wang Jing will not hesitate to pick up the butcher's knife and kill him!
Since he was destined to die, destined to fail, and destined to be an enemy, Wu Ming decided to give him a push and give him a death destined to be spectacular!
It's just that Wu Ming didn't realize that this method of using all living beings as pawns was becoming more and more familiar and becoming less and less humane!
Until you wake up, the regret that breaks your heart and burns your bones will fill your life!
Of course, these are all things for later!
A middle-aged Taoist priest with a dark complexion, a thin figure, and an unusually tall figure, accompanied by eight law enforcement disciples behind him, came to the main entrance to greet him.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, Qingjue has met the layman!"
Qingjue Ji bowed his head.
Although neither party likes it very much, the due etiquette must be observed. Moreover, Wang Jing is a decent man, has the style of an ancient gentleman, and is a Legalist. He still has some friendship with the old stubborn of the Taiqing Palace Precepts Hall.
.
Therefore, Qingjue, who is a disciple and grandson of his generation, also has some respect for Wang Jing, because pure people are worthy of respect!
"Brother Qingjue is so polite!"
Wang Jing didn't show any emotion and returned the courtesy in a normal manner.
"I am here. I learned about the layman's sudden enlightenment on the way. Don't be surprised if I take the liberty of visiting you!"
Qingjue said again.
"I wonder why brother came here?"
Wang Jing was slightly surprised. He was still wondering. Even if the Taiqing Palace was well-informed, it would not be possible to arrive in one day. After all, it was too far away.
"Pindao, following the decree of the Master of the Discipline Hall, came to Wuyunpo to investigate the murder cases in Yiwu Town and Hongwu Town and capture the murderer!"
Qingjue flicked the fly whisk and glanced at Wu Ming intentionally or unintentionally.
The latter stood with his arms folded, the old god was there, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Those who had previously stated that they were willing to clean up Wu Ming's life all turned out to be wooden people by looking at their noses and their hearts.
Just kidding, it's one thing to clean up the mess, it's another thing to go against the Taiqing Palace. No one dares to stroke the tiger's beard even if it eats the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage!
In any case, Laoshan is the fiefdom of the Taiqing Palace. A part of the production and tax revenue of each town is handed over to the Taiqing Palace. There are many cases of tenants rebelling against the landlords, but that also depends on the person!
Wang Jingruo was aware of this, and glanced at Wu Ming with a slight frown, and said with a straight face: "As the guard of Wufang, I shall bear full responsibility for this disaster, and I will fully cooperate with the investigation. If there are clues in the Taiqing Palace, I can hand them over to you."
It is up to me to investigate to the end!"
If we want to make the investigation easier, let’s do business in a matter-of-fact manner. Although this is the fiefdom of the Taiqing Palace, it also belongs to the imperial court and must be handled in accordance with the imperial court laws!
Qingjue's face was already dark, but now it was even darker.
The sect's precepts hall is not the law of the court, but represents the establishment of a private court, which is most unacceptable to Legalists.
It is true that Wang Jing is an honest man, but he is also a scholar. He has traveled all over the world with reason. After he woke up from an epiphany, he sent people to search for him with all his strength, but the murderer had already dived and could not be found!
"Are you trying to protect the murderer with your words like this?"
Qingjue couldn't fight with her words, and even though she was slightly embarrassed, she spoke indiscriminately, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
"Stupid Niubi, impulsiveness is the devil!"
Wu Ming smiled secretly.
"Be bold!"
Wang Jing's shouts were like thunder and arousing aura, which made all those present who had ulterior motives tremble and turn pale with horror. However, they heard, "After I learned about the incident, I ordered a strict investigation. Every time I responded to the decree, there was an official document."
As proof, if you find a trace of favoritism or omission, I will hang my official seal and go to the court to plead guilty. If you can't explain why, don't blame me for punishing you for slander!"
Qingjue's color suddenly changed, and his anger surged wildly.
Although Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction, that is the realm of Taoist ancestors and saints. As long as they are human beings, they will have seven emotions and six desires, let alone the elders of Tianpin Taiqing Palace Precepts Hall who are accustomed to being aloof and superior.
"Wang Zhenshou!"
Qingjue's tone was unkind, his eyes were like swords, and he pointed his halberd at Wu Mingdao, "Since I came to Wuyunpo, there have been tragedies in the two towns, and you have had an epiphany in seclusion. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
Wang Jing's eyes twitched slightly. Before he could speak, Wu Ming took a step forward and said with a faint smile: "Since it's all about me, I've brought the case to you, sir. While everyone is here, I, the defendant, can always free myself."
Is it okay?"
Wang Jing nodded slightly, asking him to lie openly was really embarrassing!
"Ha! Officials protect each other!"
Qingjue sneered, but he didn't know that he had violated Wang Jing's taboo, and his impression score was directly negative!
Wang Jing hates his sect. The family violates laws and disciplines and sets up private courts. He even hates officials who know the law and break it!
"Since I came to the governor's mansion, I have had tea and discussed Taoism with my husband, and I have never left even half a step. Everyone in the mansion is aware of it!"
Wu Ming had a thick smile on his lips and looked at Qing Jue almost mockingly, "Don't say that everyone will protect me. Your Taiqing Palace has its own way to verify the authenticity. As for Sir's sudden enlightenment, it is really a blessing from God and a fluke.
It’s a blessing from God, and the people in the whole town can attest to this. You don’t think that hundreds of thousands of people will protect your husband, do you?”
"Tasting tea and discussing Taoism? Don't you think you think too highly of yourself?"
Qingjue sneered, thinking that he had caught Wu Ming's story. As for the verification, it was impossible to fake it because the movement when Wang Jing had his enlightenment was too loud.
Even if the saint takes action himself, he cannot simulate it!
But for mere congenital people to drink tea and discuss Taoism with literary giants is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
At this point, many people present secretly nodded in approval. This guy is really too arrogant!
"hehe!"
Wu Ming stood with his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile, "I am not a talented king. I was once a guest at Xuansheng's gate. I drank wine and gave him poems. I was also a guest at the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. I have the Dragon Seal in my hand. I also...
Haha, that’s not very humane!”
Hehehe twice, so contemptuous that it almost made everyone’s eyes pop out!
Just referring to these two incidents, anyone with some influence has heard about them. Although they don't believe them, they are somewhat jealous. Now that they hear Wu Ming admit them, they can't help but feel wrong.
Comparing people with each other is so annoying! (To be continued)
