A man who had complained to Xu Qing came back and wiped his eyes with sand from the wind with his sleeve. He looked at the person next to him and said, "Brother Dong, weren't you just following the poisonous people?"
Is there any blood feud among the Scorpion Sect? Why not redress your grievances to the Marquis? The Marquis will find the murderer and give Brother Dong justice."
The man surnamed Dong sighed: "Brother Zhong is from the Chu State, so he is naturally blessed, but I am from the Zhou State, how can I redress my grievances?"
The man surnamed Zhong asked doubtfully: "When I came to Yongzhou, didn't Brother Dong say that he was only looking for an opportunity to take revenge? Did Brother Dong ever find an opportunity?"
The man surnamed Dong gritted his teeth and said: "Originally, I came here to find a suitable time to join a large sect and ask the sect to plead my grievances, but who would have thought that they would not dare to offend the Poisonous Scorpion Sect at all. It is a good thing that Brother Zhong was born in the Chu Kingdom.
Blessing, for a wanderer like me...sigh...this is probably my fate."
The man surnamed Zhong waved his hand and said: "Master Hou understands justice well and hates evil as much as hatred. The disciples of the Poison Scorpion Sect beat Brother Dong's brother to death. It is really an act of outrage among humans and gods! If Brother Dong doesn't go, I will go and ask Master Hou myself!"
The man surnamed Dong looked at the man surnamed Zhong who was walking out and wanted to pull him, but he failed. The man surnamed Zhong had already walked out.
Seeing that he could not stop him, the man surnamed Dong had no choice but to follow the man surnamed Zhong and step forward again.
Xu Qing was surprised when he saw the man named Zhong: "Do you still have grievances?"
The man surnamed Zhong knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, and the man surnamed Dong had no choice but to kneel down as well.
The man surnamed Zhong said: "Master Hou, this time the common people are not complaining for themselves, the common people are complaining for the people they met on the way when they came to Liuzhou to participate in this martial arts competition!"
"Oh?" Xu Qing asked curiously: "A fellow traveler? It seems like your friend is a little shy."
The man surnamed Dong's head is lower.
The man surnamed Zhong shook his head and said: "No, Lord Marquis, Cao Min's friend is not from the Chu State, but from the Zhou State. He has a blood feud with the Poisonous Scorpion Sect! I beg you, the Marquis, to redress his grievances!"
"People from the Zhou Kingdom." Xu Qing thought for a while and then said: "It's not that I don't want to redress the grievances, but because I don't have the authority to do so. I, the disciple of the Venomous Scorpion Sect of the Chu State, can naturally order the arrest, even if the criminal is in a foreign country.
After the war between the two countries is over, I can also ask the court to force Zhou to hand over the criminals, but the affairs of Zhou will be dealt with by the Zhou court. I am a Marquis of Chu, so I can't overstep my authority."
"Not to mention the Zhou State, even if it is the Chu State, I can only hand over some criminals to the government for questioning according to law. Even I do not have the power to enforce the law. I can only supervise the execution of the local officials. This is the process and rules of the court.
, Without rules, nothing can be achieved. Without rules, it is easier to breed corruption and consolidate power. I hope you understand."
The man surnamed Dong sighed and said: "What the Marquis said is true. There is no rule without rules. The Marquis' authority does not lie here, and ordinary people dare not force it."
Xu Qing looked at the man named Dong and sighed: "I'm sorry."
The man surnamed Zhong clasped his fists and looked at Xu Qing and said: "Master Hou, the Zhou government cannot control the affairs of the Jianghu, so...doesn't this friend of mine have a grudge that he cannot redress?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Since, as you said, the rivers and lakes have their own rules, and the influence of the imperial court is indeed small in the rivers and lakes, then why don't you use the rules in the rivers and lakes?"
"The rules of the world?" The man named Dong raised his head and murmured.
Xu Qing said: "Yes, aren't you here to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance? The leaders of the martial arts alliance in the entire Central Plains naturally have the power to deal with the affairs of the Jianghu, such as mobilizing the power of the Jianghu to punish the Poisonous Scorpion Sect."
The man surnamed Zhong couldn't help but said in a deep voice when he heard this: "To be honest with the Marquis, this friend of Cao Min wants to join a large Jianghu sect in order to ask the sect to redress his grievances. Who knows that those Jianghu sects who claim to be famous and upright are
They are just some people who bully the weak and fear the strong. As soon as they hear that it is the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, they dare not step forward. They are afraid that even if they choose the martial arts leader among these martial arts sects, they will not dare to go against the Poisonous Scorpion Sect. It will always be us who suffer.
Loose cultivators in the world."
When the Iron Armored Sect and the Armored Gang heard the words of the man named Zhong, their eyes widened and they glared angrily but remained speechless because what they stated was the truth...
Although the leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect on the side was not approached by the shadow guard, he did not dare to act rashly because he could feel that there were more than one eyes locked on him, one of them was powerful and his martial arts was even more impressive.
Far superior to him, and there are more than one crossbows pointed at him. The strength of the crossbows is not like that of bows and arrows. If he is not careful, he will be pierced by thousands of arrows.
Jianghu sects cannot compete with the state machine no matter what.
The man surnamed Zhong turned his head and glanced at the people from the high-ranking sects, cupped his fists and said: "Master Hou, since the martial arts sects also bully the weak and fear the strong, and are greedy for life and fear of death, it would be better for the Marquis to be the leader of this martial arts alliance! For other Central Plains comrades,
Redress your grievance!”
Xu Qing said: "I am indeed here to compete for the leader of the martial arts alliance, but at this time you already know my identity. I am a Marquis of the imperial court. There has always been a barrier between the imperial court and the world. I can also be regarded as the imperial eagle dog in your mouth.
, are you still worthy of being your martial arts leader?"
The man surnamed Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "If the Marquis is not worthy, then there will be no one in the world who is worthy!"
Next to the man surnamed Zhong, the man surnamed Dong also clasped his fists and said: "Master Hou, it was because the government and a large family embezzled the property of the grassroots people that the common people were extremely disappointed and resentful of the government's darkness. After killing their enemies, they came to the world.
I am wandering around in the world, but I don't expect that the world where ordinary people thought they were happy and grudges is still dark."
"The common people thought they saw the darkness in the government, but they didn't expect that darkness had already filled the entire world."
"Since the world has long been filled with darkness, ordinary people are willing to follow the marquis in order to get some light!"
After the man surnamed Dong finished speaking, people from all over the world knelt down one after another: "We are willing to follow Lord Marquis in order to seek a bright future!"
Xiao Ruxue was stunned when she saw this scene. She looked at Xu Qing blankly, thinking about only one thing. Is Xu Qing about to become the leader of the martial arts alliance?
Does becoming a martial arts leader mean you are both civil and military?
Liu Chongdu, who was not far away, briefly moved his gaze away from the leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect and looked at Xu Qing, with surprise and admiration on his face. Could this be the plan of his junior brother?
You don't have to hide your identity, but you can also gain the recognition of the entire martial arts world. It's really a far-sighted plan!
The junior brother even begged His Majesty to reduce the tax burden for the people of the feudal state. Such a righteous act was not to mention the imperial court of Chu State. Even the imperial court of the Central Plains could not find many such people who were dedicated to the people, right?
It is really a blessing for Chu State and the world to have a junior brother in Chu State!
