old grace

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan had just had breakfast, and they sat on the porch to warm up by the fire while discussing Feng Shuniang's matter.

"I once wanted to spend money to redeem all the land title deeds left by her husband, and told her to take the money and go and enjoy herself. Even if it is difficult to make a living elsewhere, there is Jianhu Manor here to take care of it, and it is even worse to go to Hanshan Town. There is always a happy life for the rest of my life. However, yesterday I boasted that Haikou would take care of everyone, so it would not be a good deal - everyone asked me to spend money to buy land and property, I am afraid that I will not be able to sustain it." Fu said.

Xie Qinghe poked charcoal with copper chopsticks: "Well, tell me."

The brazier had just been lit, and the charcoal hadn't fully heated up yet, pointing at this pot of fire to boil water to make tea, it was still too late.

Fu Chuan is also a businessman. He can occasionally do good deeds out of his own pocket regardless of the cost. However, there are so many troubles in the world.He had to start thinking about how to do it cost-effectively.

"From my point of view, Feng's trouble is nothing more than her daughter-in-law with a foreign surname who has lost her support and can't fight against her husband's family with a large number of people. I took the land in her hands and took her off. Go out, I will fight against her husband's family after taking the plate. Naturally, I am not afraid of the short-footed farmers of her husband's family, but it is impossible for me to actually plant the land of her husband's family. If I give it to others, I am afraid No one dared to pick it up. Didn’t I pay for them to buy a piece of land for the vacant place? If they really want to plant, I can go to fight with them every now and then, can’t I?”

Fu Chuan was so angry that Xie Qinghe was amused.This thing is such a rogue, you can't move the land.

"I thought about it again, and felt that this idea was wrong." Fu said.

"Situations like Feng's are not unique to women. From what I've seen, in villages and villages, there are often families with big surnames living together, wantonly bullying villagers with foreign surnames, even between big surnames and small surnames, there are sometimes fights People don't convince others with reason, but with force, with crowds. This is the root cause of the poor, the weak, the lonely, the old, women, and children.

Xie Qinghe looked up at him, and said with a smile: "This is interesting. Let's talk about it."

Fu Chuan continued: "I thought it was a dereliction of duty by the court."

"The fumin officials in various places are angels who replace the imperial court and represent the emperor to raise the people in the localities. The common people often refer to the fumin officials as 'old parents'. Since they are parents, they should mediate the disputes between the 'children'. Don't use violence and tyranny, don't let each other conquer, love and cooperate with each other, and live a good life."

"But these stupid officials have misrepresented all the good scriptures. The higher ups want people to be honest, so they strictly prohibit lawsuits. They set up all kinds of unspoken rules and tacit rules, intimidating the people not to go to the Yamen to sue. People have no place to sue for grievances, and no place to seek redress for victims. , so that the most vicious people run rampant in the world, and the old and treacherous people wantonly bully the good. This group of stupid officials has a smooth resume and a smooth official career. They say that they have planned to rule in a certain place for three years, and they do not close their doors at night. No murders at all—shit to whitewash the peace!"

Xie Qinghe didn't say anything, and after Fu Chuan finished spraying, he caught a glimpse of the elder brother, and felt guilty immediately, and made amends weakly: "Dog officer."

Fu Chuan never regarded himself as an outsider.

In his mind, the first senior brother rules the world, and the second senior brother rules the secular world, and the two sides can cooperate to govern the world.

In particular, Xie Qinghe deliberately wrapped up the murder case of Wang's father and daughter in Xingcheng, so that the three words "Xie Qinghe" appeared on the official official document sent back to Longcheng by Xingcheng Order and Longlin Guard. The senior brother intends to join forces with the second senior brother.

After nearly 20 years of management by Fu Wei and Shu Hanyun, the Zhou Dynasty has cultivated national power, enriched the people, and no longer needs to struggle for people's livelihood.

Is there room to pursue something unprecedented?

For example, security.

Walking on the road, you don’t worry about being beaten by hooligans. Orphan girls don’t worry about being kidnapped and sold at home. When you’re out of town, you don’t worry about being ganged up by locals. I can get my money back through deception, and no one can take it away from my property—is there such justice in this world?

Seeing that the charcoal fire was burning, Xie Qinghe moved the kettle filled with spring water to the brazier and waited for the water to boil to make tea.

He asked Fu Chuan: "If you were Xingcheng Ling, how would you deal with Feng Shuniang's troubles?"

"Feng's land property was left by her husband, her in-laws died early, and the rest of the family members are outside the third service. How can they dispose of her family's land property? If you are worried about her remarrying and causing the family land to flow out, you have to wait until the day she remarries." Geniuses are so arguing about this matter. If I were the order of Xingcheng, I would strictly order Feng's husband and wife not to disturb and make trouble, otherwise, they would all show their shackles to the public." Fu Legend.

"It can be seen that when you made the Xingcheng Order, you can only punish your own crimes, not innocent ones. What Feng Shuniang was afraid of was that she would be secretly tied up and sold by her husband's family in the middle of the night, but the husband's family had never sold her at this time. As a parent officer Is it possible to punish the people who have not committed crimes first?" Xie Qinghe shook his head.

"I already know that they are plotting against Feng Shi, if something happens to Feng Shi, naturally they will be the first to question them." Fu said.

"You remember one Feng Shuniang, how about a hundred Feng Shuniang? Even if you remember it all in your heart, she can't live in the county government office and spend time with you day and night. If something happens to her, it will be three to five months later. When a person dies, you can call your soul and be sold to a place where the sun never shines. Where can you find it? There is no evidence, so why do you accuse him of crimes? Besides, you have been an official for three years, and you left the place. Does Feng Shuniang still have to register with the new county magistrate so that people can remember her?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan was thoughtful.

"You watched the battles in Miaojiang, and fought with Han Lin for a few years. Not long ago, you fought in Chuiliucheng... It's just that your kung fu is so good that you always fight flatly."

Xie Qinghe took out several sweet potatoes, yams, peanuts and oranges that were waiting to be roasted, first grabbed a peanut and an orange, and put them on the table.

"Oranges want to bully peanuts, so you take a sweet potato to deal with oranges." Then, he grabbed another handful of peanuts, took a few oranges, and put them together, "So many peanuts are bullied by so many oranges, sweet potatoes don't Do you have to come over?"

"Actually, throughout the ages, there have been many famous battlefields where the weak prevailed over the strong. The root cause is that the overall weak side, with local advantages, defeated the local disadvantages of the overall strong side. It is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong, the key is to concentrate Troops, find weaknesses."

Xie Qinghe put the sweet potatoes aside, gathered more than a dozen peanuts together to surround the same orange.

"Peanut cares about the fate of Peanut." Xie Qinghe said.

"Master thinks that all living beings are stupid, but you think that all living beings are weak. Junior brother, even if you and I have the power to fly into the sky and enter the earth, don't be too conceited. If the sky is broken, you and I will mend it. If the earth is sunken, you and I will fill it up." .The life of ordinary people is for them to live by themselves. If you always hope that the blue sky will hang high, and the gods will help you, why do you and my ancestors have to practice hard and go so hard until today?"

——If the ancestors all thought so, why would they cultivate immortals?Kneeling and kowtowing, won't it be over when the gods come to save you?

Xie Qinghe is familiar with Fu Chuan's state at this time.

It is after a long period of experience that the cultivation base has been raised suddenly and far surpassed that of ordinary people, naturally there is a kind of contempt for ordinary people.

This contempt is not necessarily malicious.But after a kind of power breaks through the boundaries of mortals, it naturally condescends like a fairy.Fu Chuan sympathizes with all the poor and weak people in the world, and he wants to save the world by himself.

However, the world is always the world of the people of the world.

Xie Qinghe patted Fu Chuan's head, peeled a peanut for him, and fed him: "I have written a letter to invite Master Fu to come down the mountain."

"The legend of An Xiangu is naturally false, but Fu Xiangu is true. Li Nanfeng is going to teach apprentices in the Longlin Guard class to teach people to summon ghosts and ghosts. I thought, don't favor one over the other. Let Fu Shimei stay temporarily Xingcheng, ask Longcheng to allocate money for her to build a Xuannv Temple, and usually explain the Dharma to the good believers in Xingcheng, and explain the truth. Strong?" Xie Qinghe said.

Fu Doukou is a rare female cultivator of the Hanjiang Sword Sect. She usually only cares about practicing and playing, and rarely manages affairs.

In terms of age, she is not much older than Fu Chuan.However, she is Yan Buqie's closed disciple. After Yan Buqie left the mountain, Fu Doukou inherited all the inheritance of the master's lineage.Shangguan Shiyi took good care of her, and Xie Qinghe treated her very politely, making her a detached position in the sect.

An An was introduced by Xie Qinghe and worshiped under Fu Doukou.

Fu Chuan stood up and bowed to Xie Qinghe: "I'm not as thoughtful as senior brother."

If, as Fu Chuan thought, urging the imperial court to crazily arrest officials and force officials from all over the country to take care of trivial matters that have not been dealt with for thousands of years, regardless of the effect, there will be several battles in the court alone, and no one will Three to five years can't figure out the truth.

Since the imperial power does not go to the countryside, isn't everyone just relying on their own abilities?

Tangerines have been very powerful in ancient times, so don't blame Xuannv Temple to gather peanuts and Mimi to help each other, and everyone made gestures in private.

But, to do this like this, you have to communicate with Longcheng first.Therefore, the Xuannv Temple must be built with funds from the imperial court.With this level of imperial conferment status, it is not possible to be taken over by others.This is why Xie Qinghe wanted to take the initiative to join the WTO and put his name in the murder case official letter.

"Eldest brother, did you decide to do this yesterday?" Fu Chuan asked.

Xie Qinghe peeled another peanut, with a slightly hesitant expression: "I miscalculated."

"Yesterday the officials at the city gate came to report that there were people gathered at the east gate and they were going to destroy the Xiangu Stone. The Xingcheng order was afraid that the people would gather and cause chaos, so they begged Gu Pingxiang to lead the troops to disperse them, and gave Gu Pingxiang the papers we just sorted out. Pingxiang." What Xie Qinghe was talking about was the document that Fu Chuan had sorted out in the Hanjiang Sword Sect, and added some details that Xie Qinghe perfected after swallowing Miss An's evil thoughts, "I never thought about it."

Fu Chuan wanted to refute the rumors and forbid all kinds of tragedies caused by An Xiangu's rumors. Xie Qinghe has been thinking about how to handle this matter properly.After all, the legend of An Xiangu involved five or six cases. It involved Fu Wei at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, investigating the outstanding cases in the treasury, and making them public without communicating with the court. It's hard to be human.

——Now that she is too deeply involved in the world, with all kinds of involvement, she can't always grab the court's wool and be disrespectful at all.

Xie Qinghe brought Xing Chengling, Gu Pingxiang, and Mei Yun here, just to discuss this matter with everyone and see how it can be done properly.

Unexpectedly, the people of the East Gate rushed out aggressively, Xingcheng Ling was scared to pee, and directly stuffed the documents Xie Qinghe brought to Gu Pingxiang.

At that time, what everyone was worried about was that the common people would gather and create chaos. In order to disperse the common people, they told them that Aunt An Xiangu did not exist at all, that the legends about Aunt An Xiangu were all false, and that the target that these common people wanted to attack had disappeared, so naturally there was no reason to pester them any longer. go.

Xie Qinghe was sitting in the county government office at that time, only knew that the people of the East Gate were going to destroy the Xiangu Stone, but did not know that they were beating people.

It wasn't until Gu Pingxiang and Fu Chuan escorted the rioting prisoners back and reported that the group of people were so excited that they beat women all the way, and even killed a woman... Xie Qinghe suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Such a sudden refutation of rumors has indeed wiped out all the behind-the-scenes masterminds who resorted to the theory of ghosts and gods.

However, it also took off the cockroaches on the heads of many women, and cut off the sharp swords hanging above the heads of many unworthy people.Those weak women who were sheltered by "An Xiangu" by accident were all in a bad situation.

Xie Qinghe suddenly changed his mind and suddenly interfered in secular affairs drastically.

"I'm afraid it's still too late." Xie Qinghe rarely showed regret, "Gu Pingxiang shouldn't have been allowed to take away the volume of documents yesterday."

Fu Chuan was about to comfort him, when Jian Dao's voice was heard from a distance: "Fu Zhenren! Fu Zhenren! It's not good!"

Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan relied on the disciple's family who was a rich merchant in Jianhu Village. Jian Dao knew the way well, and no one stopped her. She ran fast all the way, panting to the front of the corridor: "Feng Shuniang is dead!"
