Otherwise, it only takes half a breath, and the Jinling Prefect's Mansion will be reduced to ruins in an instant, and no one present can survive.

Thinking about Zhong Cheng's previous actions, whether he wanted to snatch the Yanyun Chamber of Commerce by force, or sent fierce guards to snatch people, they had already pushed the two sides onto a single-plank bridge with no retreat.

Shirataki came here to watch, but he still only wanted to 'tell the truth', and he was already extremely restrained.

It can even be said, how can people in the Jianghu have such a good-tempered king?

They are the last people in the world who don't need to listen to other people's reasoning, but others should listen to their reasoning.

It is the prerogative of these people not to reason.

Bai Taki glanced at Zhong Cheng who was kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground, and smiled disapprovingly.

"I wanted to reason with you before, but you didn't listen."

"Do you think it's useful to kneel down now?"

Zhong Taishou lost his mind, his expression was gloomy.

He tremblingly said: "I would like to exchange my life for the lives of the rest of the Zhong family..."

Bai Taki said flatly: "That's your problem, even if you hang yourself here, there will be inevitable consequences."

Zhong Cheng said sadly: "My lord! Your Highness! The rest of my Zhong family are worthy of death!"

"If you really don't deserve death, what are you afraid of?" Bai Taki asked back.

Zhong Cheng's face was pale.

"Do you think that I will secretly instruct other people to raid your home? Give you all a death sentence and push you to the vegetable market to beheaded?" Bai Taki said coldly: "I really want to kill your whole family, but do I need someone else's hand? Do you really want to kill your family?" Do you think I, Bai, care about my reputation and world evaluation?"

Eunuch Zhong said tremblingly, "Forgive me, forgive me..."

"What about your Zhong family is not for me to deal with. There will be six gates in the capital and the Criminal Department to jointly check. If you are clean enough, at most you will get rid of the black hat on your head and go back to Yamada. Except for you, behind your whole family It’s not clean, so do what you want.”

Zhong Cheng raised his head abruptly, the last bit of reserve in his bones made him grit his teeth.

"I offended His Highness, but if you do this, you will be cold..."

"Whose heart is chilled, your heart, or that group of dirty people? Prefect Zhong, I'm afraid you have forgotten who taught Zhao Ya's strategy and political policy."

Shirataki sneered: "All of you people want nothing more than personal interests, the word interests, either power and status, or money and beauty, that's all. If that's the case, then I will give you enough benefits, but if this If you can’t tie your hands, then you need to hang a knife over your head.”

"Zhao Ya's strategy of high salary and honesty has not been fully implemented. Carrots and sticks are two-pronged. You might as well let me push it. It can be regarded as a show to the group of people. What happens to those who don't restrain themselves after taking money? Killing chickens to scare monkeys. You asked for it too."

Shirataki looked down at Zhong Cheng who was gradually feeling ashamed.

"Do you know what I hate about people like you the most?"

"You don't realize now that you are wrong."

"Because you didn't realize it, you couldn't listen to what I said, so you thought you could keep your Zhong family by kneeling down and begging me."

"It proves both your ignorance of me and your own incorrigibility."

"In your opinion, what you did was right."

He shook his head and said again.

"Or, you think that you are wrong to offend me, but you have never reflected on your own behavior of trying to rob people's property."

"You just regret that the incident was exposed and kicked a piece of iron, but you don't regret that you treat ordinary people as despicable people who wantonly oppressed."

"Where do you have the confidence to put yourself above the people for granted?"

"People like you make me feel sick."

"Killing you will dirty my hands."

"Scholars know that respecting the common people is awesome, but you don't understand this truth, so you deserve what you are doing today."

Shirataki let out a lonely and helpless sigh.

"Ideological education is too lacking. If you don't change the concept in this area, many things can't be implemented. The political review department and performance appraisal mechanism should be established earlier... Otherwise, every time I see this kind of stupid criticism, it will raise my blood pressure. .”

He turned around and stopped looking at Zhong Cheng who was completely silent.

"In the future, whether you are struggling to die, or fighting with me, or finding a place to hang yourself alone, or simply fleeing outside the Great Wall with your family, you are free."

Be as free as you want, because it's the same how you do it.

Xiao Taohong was about to leave with Bai Taki when she heard Zhong Cheng's voice.

"Wait..." For a moment, the veteran who seemed to be decades old stopped Xiao Taohong, and he asked weakly, "You made up your mind from the beginning? Why didn't you explain it clearly?"

Xiao Taohong was stunned for a moment, and then showed a strange expression: "Master Taishou, did you want to ask me if I did this on purpose? Waiting for you to come to the door, make trouble for us, and then be slapped to death by the young master?"

Her words were too pungent and too straightforward.

"Of course not." Xiao Taohong said flatly: "For you chickens and dogs, as for troublesome young master? Besides, young master is away all year round, I don't know when he will come back, and I didn't expect...you To be so stupid as to try to use force to solve it."

"Do you think we're fishing? If you weren't greedy, why did you come to this point? It doesn't matter if it's the bait. As long as you stick to your heart, don't take the bait, and be your Jinling prefect honestly, why don't you worry about not being promoted?" Opportunity?"

"You think that if you are demoted to Jinling, you will never go back to the capital, but in fact, as long as you have outstanding political performance, you can go back at any time. This generation of emperors is different from the past. Those who are virtuous can come to the fore."

The woman said quietly: "Young Master is a reasonable person, so we also hope to be able to reason with others... You don't believe it? It doesn't matter, after all, many things don't make sense to you, otherwise we wouldn't have come to this point."

Zhong Cheng said hoarsely: "I beg you, you can take away everything from the Zhong family, please beg for me..."

Tao Hong chuckled: "Sure enough, it's a chicken talking to a duck, and I won't pay you for any more nonsense, Prefect Zhong, I'll give you one last piece of advice, don't do anything, cooperate actively, be frank and lenient, surrender yourself with a good attitude, and strive for justice." If you take it lightly, the whole family will not die...Of course I know that you will not sit still and run all night, and if that is the case, I wish you a smooth journey in advance and that the whole family walks neatly."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Taohong put her hands behind her back and caught up with the figure in front of her.

Zhong Cheng lost his mind and fell to the ground.

Zhong Zhi came over to help the eunuch Zhong who was suddenly getting old, and asked in disbelief, "Father, what should we do next?"

Zhong Cheng glanced at the few people walking away, feeling in a trance, and said in a low voice: "Order, hurry up and pack up your belongings... Divide into five batches, and run away."

He pushed the others away, walked back to the main hall alone, sat on a chair, silent like a lifeless corpse.

……

Walk out of the new prefect's mansion.

The disciples of Xiaoxiang Sword Tower have not yet come to their senses.

In just two sticks of incense, a well-behaved Jinling prefect disappeared as soon as he said he was gone.

On the contrary, the young man in white in front of him is really famous in the world, the legendary number one in the world.

They feel as if they are living in a dream.

"This is not a place to talk." Bai Taki raised his hand and said, "Why don't you go to Yanyun Mansion to have a talk?"

"I'm so happy." Liu Jingyi didn't dare to neglect in the slightest. He looked at his daughter in front of him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. In the palace, a mother is more expensive than a child, but here, it's him, the father, who has taken advantage of his daughter.

But who would have imagined that the majestic son of Jinling Prefect's Mansion is actually far inferior to this dull-looking man.

"That's right." Bai Taki stopped and glanced at the woman not far away: "She doesn't have to go."

The woman turned pale all of a sudden, lowered her head, and looked at a loss.

Liu Xu'er pinched the corner of her clothes.

Da Lei didn't want to embarrass Liu Xu'er, so he also showed anxiety.

Xiao Taohong covered her lips and smiled for fear of chaos.

In the end, Liu Jingyi said, "You guys send Master's wife back to the inn to rest first."

Xuan Zizhu stared, regardless of being a big girl, she took the initiative to pull Liu Jingyi's clothes and said coquettishly: "Master!"

"...I'll go." Han Wulong said, clutching his chest.

"Me too." Xu Zhao shrank his neck, feeling uncomfortable with this young man in white.

"No need." The woman lowered her eyebrows and smiled sadly: "I'll just go back by myself...Jingyi, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay." Liu Jingyi nodded, watching Jiefa's wife go away, he also sighed softly, whispering in his heart... Let her suffer a little bit, and reflect on it. These years, taking care of the family, instead of becoming more and more active in fame and wealth, But she ignored the human touch. She was not like this back then.

"Let's go." Shirataki's attitude became gentle again, and he was no longer aggressive.

From behind, Xu Zhao sent a voice transmission and said: "Eldest brother, don't you think he is too stingy? The teacher's wife is also concerned about it, so it will be chaotic..."

"I'm stingy." Bai Taki said loudly: "As a young man in his early twenties, do I have to imitate those seventy and eighty-year-old Confucianists and pretend to be grand? How tiring living is."

Xu Zhao's scalp was tense, it was obviously a sound transmission, but he was heard?

Han Wulong asked: "Are you really over 20?"

Bai Taki smiled and said, "Isn't it like that?"

Han Wulong didn't speak, his sword heart was a little shaken.

He has been learning swords since he was a child, and he has never slack off for a single day. However, in the hands of some people, the same sword can level mountains and cut through waves. He still does not understand the difference between himself and those people. Looking at young people who are about the same age as him, he barely entered the list of people, but he is number one in the world, it is hard not to feel a strong sense of frustration.

Arriving at Yanyun Mansion, Bai Taki looked at the familiar courtyard, not only in a daze, but also seemed to be able to see familiar people from that familiar place.

He lightly stroked the groove on the stone table, his eyes somewhat soft.

"Young master..." Xiao Taohong called softly.

Bai Taki withdrew his nostalgia, and thought about Yan Qixia who was dead but not completely dead.

"Brew some milk tea for the guests, so we can talk about Da Lei and this girl."

Liu Xu'er stood aside and did not dare to take a seat. Seeing other people looking over, her cheeks were flushed.

Then began to talk about what happened during these times, including the acquaintance and encounter.

Bai Taki nodded again and again, Liu Xu'er is a good girl, the two sides have a solid foundation of affection, they have been together for half a year, they know each other well.

He was more worried that Da Lei met Hai Hou when he fell in love for the first time. Now it seems that he is a fool with good luck.

"So, this big fool is really not good enough for Miss Liu." Bai Taki said.

"Flowers go with cow dung." Xu Zhao also said something casually, and then Xuan Zizhu stomped his foot and ran to the side to grin his teeth.

"It's a shame that none of the junior sisters in the sword building have taken a fancy to you." Xuan Zizhu folded his hands and sneered: "You can't even be considered cow dung."

"I'm pretty sure about people. This little brother is pretty good too." Liu Jingyi asked with a smile.

"Innate duality, not high, but not low." Xiao Taohong came with the brewed milk tea, and the stainless steel teapot was full of tangy aroma.

"Double innate..." Liu Jingyi said, "Enough, enough."

"Of course it is enough. Dalei's martial arts are all taught by the young master." Xiao Taohong put down the teacup and motioned for them to take it by themselves: "Little Ye Zi stayed in Yanyun Mansion for half a year before, but she didn't know the connection between Yanyun Mansion and Young Master. Originally, her assessment is almost over, and in half a month, I plan to lead her to get a martial arts, and then correct her bad habits."
