The first cause of all realms

Chapter 308 Map of All Beings in Various Forms (Second Change)

Shasha~
Sparks sparked between the sharp Yanling knife and the whetstone.

In the small courtyard, Qiu Zhanyu, who hadn't slept all night, flicked the edge of the blade, put the blade back into its sheath amidst the crisp and long chirping of the blade, and stood up expressionlessly.

"Master Qiu?"

"grown ups!"

"Master Qiu."

In the government office, a group of knife and pen officials greeted respectfully, but they didn't get a response, and they all avoided in surprise.

After days of heavy rain, the air in the mansion became very good, and there was no longer the stench of the past. Qiu Zhanyu strode to the backyard.

He originally had a lot of resentment in his heart, but when he saw the old man writing at his desk, his voice softened and he called out:
"My lord."

Compared to more than a month ago, Xu Wenji looked a little older, and the arrival of Lingying made him even more tired.

"Xiaoqiu, do you know why the old man has to follow the rules?"

Xu Wenji put down his pen and rubbed his temples lightly, with deep exhaustion in his tone.

"Rules must be followed, but some people don't follow the rules, so why do we have to follow the rules?!"

Qiu Zhanyu said in a cold voice, his eyes turned red.

He, Qi Gang, Cao Jinlie, and Qian Jinge belonged to the same batch of Jinyiwei who entered the industry, and they had been classmates in the same place for more than ten years. The grief in his heart at this moment is really hard to describe.

Even in the face of Xu Wenji, it seems that the respect of the past is gone.

"When I was young, I used to be a headhunter in Yunzhou. At that time, I always had doubts in my heart, doubts about the rules."

Xu Wenji got up slowly, walked in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the distant mountains that seemed to be somewhat moistened after the rain, and said with a soft sigh.

"Why don't the merchants charge heavy taxes?"

"Farmers are poor and weak, why do they have to be forced into corvee?"

"Warrior in the Jianghu, why don't you add security?"

……

Qiu Zhanyu listened expressionlessly, naturally he couldn't answer this question, nor did he have the heart to answer it.

Fortunately, Xu Wenji didn't ask him at all, and quickly gave the answer.

"It wasn't until later that the old man understood Taizu's deep meaning."

Xu Wenji turned around and looked at the senior Jinyiwei official with a calm expression:

"Businessmen are highly profitable, and they should not be allowed to be in high positions, otherwise, no one will be willing to farm and work, and farmers are poor and weak, and they must be given the same rank as scholars in the imperial examination."

"Warriors in the Jianghu, if they break the ban by force, they must not be recruited easily, otherwise, there will be a large number of strong thieves who don't think about hard work, only know about fighting and killing, so-called heroes and celebrities."

"I……"

Qiu Zhanyu wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute. This seems to be true, but it made him very uncomfortable.

"The middle peasants in the imperial court, the peasants can feel at ease. If the imperial court emphasizes business, it will oppress morality and the people's morals will be corrupted."

Xu Wenji said:

"This old man has lived for decades. Although he is not a great person, he is still in the eyes of countless people. If I rely on the power in my hand, I will kill people, kill officials, and dismiss the governor without evidence.

They have an excuse. "

Speaking of this, Xu Wenji looked a little sad:

"If officials act recklessly and everyone learns from them, they don't pay attention to rules and evidence, and they can kill whoever they want, what kind of situation will that be?"

"That……"

Qiu Zhanyu was startled, but immediately realized: "My lord is alarmist, how could it be..."

"The king likes to have a thin waist, and many people starve to death in the palace. Although this old man is not a model for the world, he still has to be on the lookout."

Xu Wenji said calmly:

"If those who violate the law do not die but occupy high positions and are imitated by others, the law will die, the court will die, and the country will die."

"Thunderbolt Thunderbolt is something that has not been developed by the Tiangong Institute for a long time, and there are not many of them. In this land of Qingzhou, there are only two people who can transport a large number of Thunderfire bombs that can blow up the mountains!
Since no one moved in the army, it must be Nie Wendong! "

Qiu Zhanyu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth:
"Whatever you say, today, Qiu wants to touch him, so what if he kills him first and plays later?!"

Jin Yiwei has the right to behead first and play later, but that was at the beginning of the founding of the country, and it was limited to the capital, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away. No emperor dared to give his subordinates the right to behead first and then play.

But he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

There was no news of casualties before, and he was still lucky, but now he heard that Qi Gang and others might be wiped out, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"coming."

Xu Wenji spoke suddenly.

"Who?"

Qiu Zhanyu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized something.

Huhu~
The swift wind blows into the government office, and several Longyuan guards file in, walk forward quickly, and step into the backyard amidst the astonished and awe-inspiring eyes of all the officials.

"My lord!"

Several Longyuan guards bowed deeply.

"Let's take a look."

Xu Wenji pointed to the files held by several Long Yuanwei.

"This is?"

Qiu Zhanyu's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to take the file: "This is the file of Nie Wendong's disobedience?!"

"His methods are ruthless and cruel enough, the head and tail are cut off, and his painful feet can hardly be caught..."

Xu Wenji rolled up the scroll on the case and walked out:

"But if you want people not to know, unless you do nothing!"

call!
Qiu Zhanyu raised his head, with an excited expression, he grabbed all the files and stuffed them into his arms, striding to follow.

Several Long Yuanwei followed behind.

Xu Wenji walked out of the backyard slowly, and the officials in the government office suddenly noticed the unusual atmosphere, but before they could ask any questions, Qiu Zhanyu waved his hand, and many soldiers stepped forward, controlling everyone.

"Please wait here, everyone!"

Qiu Zhanyu glanced at everyone coldly and followed with his sword.

Following Xu Wenji's footsteps, Qiu Zhanyu discovered that this old man had obviously made preparations long ago. When he left the backyard, he was accompanied by several Long Yuanwei.

When they reached the front yard, more than a dozen people followed behind.

"Boss, do you want to send someone here?"

Qiu Zhanyu lowered his voice.

"No need."

Xu Wenji shook his head.

Qiu Zhanyu was suspicious. With just this few people, can Nie Wendong be taken down?

He has been in Qingzhou for many years, and he knows how powerful Nie Wendong is. With the power of the imperial court, this person has recruited countless martial arts masters in the past few decades.

Dragon and Tiger Fengyun is just a guard on the bright side.

"Old, my lord!"

When Xu Wenji walked out of the government office, a dark and thin soldier stepped forward and presented a letter with both hands.

"You are this?"

Xu Wenji took the letter: "Resignation?"

He looked at the soldier in front of him. He had an impression of this young man. At first, he was a postman, and then he followed him. He was conscientious and hard-working.

"I'm here to say goodbye to the boss. Although, although I'm just a small soldier, I'm here with the boss. Let's go, I have to say..."

Seeing Xu Wenji, Li Chuang was a little nervous, but thinking of someone, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Li Chuang doesn't want to just guard a city gate, the world is so big, I also want to take a walk and have a look!"

He said this passage with his heart beating like a drum, with some apprehension and anticipation.

Will the boss keep himself?

Will you blame yourself?
"Li Chuang, you have to know, Master Xu..."

Qiu Zhanyu was about to speak when Xu Wenji stopped him.

"Your words, the old man accepted."

Xu Wenji took out the seal he carried with him, printed it on the letter he handed over, and returned it to Li Chuang, saying:
"But believe me, you keep it. One day, if you want to come back, you can come back. Even if the old man is not around, there will always be a place for you."

After all, turn around and leave.

"My lord..."

Looking at the thin and old figure, Li Chuang felt a little sour and moved.But thinking of that person, his heart suddenly became hot, and he turned and returned to Chunfeng Tower.

then……

Looking at Lin Daoren standing by the window and looking far away, Li Chuang felt as if a pot of cold water had been poured on him, and his heart was half cold.

"It's such a big show. It's a pity that classmates fight each other..."

Looking at the south of the city, Lin Daoren shook his head slightly, turned around and said:

"Let's go."

"Go, where?"

Li Chuang was extremely disappointed.

"Go find a few people and ask a few words."

Lin Daoren's footsteps paused slightly, as if he could penetrate his mind, and said lightly:
"Now you, are you worthy of her?"

After hearing this, Li Chuang felt even more sad:
"Qin, where did Senior Sister Qin go?"

"go……"

Lin Daoren shook his head slightly, thinking about the anxiety of his grandniece before, and sighed:

"Probably go... to pay homage to friends."

……

……

Chengnan mansion.

Even though the state lord seems to be losing power, there are naturally many guards, including some masters. However, seeing Xu Wenji from a distance, except for a few people who were too frightened to move, everyone else dispersed.

Either there was a notification, or they simply avoided to another courtyard.

Along the way, there was no resistance in any sense. All the guards, servants, and maids were taken down, and few dared to resist.

In two months, the entire Deyang Mansion was cleaned by Xu Wenji. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the rumored saying that "everyone with flesh on his face will be killed", a lot of people were killed.

Which of these serving guards would dare to stop them?

It wasn't until they reached the front hall that they were stopped by two people.

"Second Guard of the Wind and Cloud."

Qiu Zhanyu lightly holds the handle of the knife, his eyes are cold:

"Nie Wendong's crime is unforgivable, are you going to go to prison with him?!"

"My lord misunderstood."

Fengyun Erwei smiled slightly, moved out of the way, and bowed to make an invitation letter:

"My lords, please, my master has been waiting for a long time."

"Let's go."

Qiu Zhanyu was shocked, but Xu Wenji looked calm, as if he had expected it, he stepped into the front hall.

The front hall is huge, so big that if the lights are not lit during the day, it will be a little dark.

On the wall on the left side, there is a large pair of unfinished scrolls hanging on the left and right sides. Nie Wendong is holding it upside down with one hand, splashing ink.

Beside him, one standing and one sitting, there are two people.

One of them was wearing a monk's robe, an old monk, and the other was dressed as a scholar, sitting and drinking tea, when he saw Xu Wenji, he got up and saluted:
"Student Yang Xuanying, I have met Master Xu."

Xu Wenji remained silent, looking at the wall.

It was a [-]% unfinished painting, but the outline was also seen for the first time. There were distant mountains, forest scenery, big sun and white clouds, city walls and pedestrians, and more, but there were various forms in the world.

There are traffickers and pawns rushing around, soldiers and servants maintaining order, there are cooks cooking porridge under the shed, and more are starving people with withered bodies and dark yellow complexions.

It is today's Deyang Mansion.

Snapped!
Nie Wendong put down his pen, turned to look at Xu Wenji, and smiled slightly:
"Brother Wenji, how is this 'Picture of All Beings in Deyang', my little brother?"

　It's the second update, it's coming to an end, it might be a bit slower.
