Deputy head

The value of the rumored treasures of the previous dynasty is getting higher and higher, and now it has evolved to the point that "whoever obtains this treasure can sit on the world and become king on his own".

It's so outrageous, I like it.

Such remarks are sure to attract the attention of officials soon.In fact, the small magistrate has already taken action, and some people began to secretly check the truth of the matter.Coincidentally, I do have a few pieces of official seal gold that circulated in the previous dynasty. These shiny little things carry great taboos. Once they appear in the world, even the emperor may not sit still.

Of course, Huayumen is also indispensable. Their disciples seem to be very happy. There were several sects that participated in the overthrow of the Bronze Sect, and Huayumen was the leader among them. If the Bronze Sect seeks revenge, the first one to deal with is naturally Huayumen Yumen, and vice versa, among the sects that participated in it back then, Huayumen most wanted the Bronze School to be completely wiped out.

In the beginning, the place where I spread the rumors was within the jurisdiction of the branch of the Bronze Sect World Light Hall, and now disciples of Huayumen can be seen everywhere in this area. You can tell at a glance.My word spread fast and well, and apparently they had a hand.

I'm afraid they have the same purpose as mine for the time being, and they also want to disturb the court.

Huayumen needs a reason to attack the Bronze Sect, an aboveboard reason.

Huayumen has not made any obvious moves for several years, not because they don't want to, but because they can't, because Huayumen is strong enough, so they can't act rashly.

This is not to say that it underestimates the enemy or is arrogant, but that it has the possibility of being coveted by others - once Hua Yumen takes action recklessly, and the teacher is unknown, it will be despised by others, criticized by people in the world, and may lose its reputation.

Reputation is invisible, intangible, and useless by itself, but for Jianghu sects, reputation is life. If reputation is completely lost, then people of all kinds and ranks will emerge in the Jianghu, no matter what purpose these people have. No matter what your intentions are, you can become a righteous teacher holding high the banner and crusade against the sects that have lost their reputation.

The ultimate goal of these righteous people is generally to carve up the sect's secret books and property.Once a sect is crusaded, it will be exploited by many sects in the Jianghu. Even if they want to "reform" and make a comeback in the future, the forces in the Jianghu who participated in the crusade will not sit back and watch it grow. After all, people who have done bad things are always particularly guilty.

Since I was seven years old, I have been in the Bronze School almost all the time. The master left early, and the old master took a step ahead before he taught me these things, so why do I know these twists and turns?

Because, it was the Bronze Sect who was attacked in this way last time.

But I just saw it with my own eyes.

The head of the Huayu Sect is inherited by blood relatives, and the head must be named Hua. This head of Hua is obviously well-educated and well-learned. He knows the unspeakable rules in the martial arts. I'm afraid they don't want to bear the notoriety of "killing them all".

But in private, he showed no mercy, and now he is taking advantage of the wind, preparing to bring the Bronze School to the table.

Don't even think about it, this head of Hua wants to use the power of the court to do what he wants.

Different from the previous dynasty, the current imperial court and the rivers and lakes are separated from each other. The relationship between the two is very strange. Generally, the well water does not violate the river water. It is taboo to suddenly break into the other party's territory.If a person enters the rivers and lakes and is included in the list of the Wulin League, then this person's life and death will follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, as long as he conforms to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he will live or die.The government only cares about the affairs of the common people, and never easily participates in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

But there are always exceptions, for example, when the thieves in the martial arts kill the court officials, or the stupid officials use their power to bully the rangers, so what should we do?This kind of thing has happened, and since there are lessons learned from the past, there are naturally solutions to this kind of problem.

Officials of the imperial court can cooperate with people in the martial arts, but the premise is that someone from the other party must first provide a guarantee.For example, if an official wants to arrest a person from the Jianghu, someone from the Jianghu must first come out as a guarantee to ensure that the official is only here to catch the thief. After that, the official can do something to the thief, and vice versa.

This seems to be a win-win situation, but in fact cooperation is not so simple.While cooperation is allowed by default, there is also an unwritten rule in Jianghu: before the end of the matter, the person who acts as a guarantor must also be included in the jurisdiction of the other party. However, if the martial arts leader kills a martial arts person, then the officials can arrest the martial arts leader for the crime of murder and sentence him to death.

Now that people from the imperial court have been brought into the rivers and lakes, before the end of the matter, these people from the rivers and lakes who stand in the same camp as the imperial court will also be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.In fact, this is also a check and balance condition to maintain the balance between the two sides, but there are many grievances and hatreds in the world, and there are often enemies who will deliberately set traps to frame the guarantor during the guarantee period, so there are very few individuals who guarantee the court officials. So what should the court do?

Then there is another solution: collective guarantee.

Generally, sects or organizations make guarantees in the name of the collective. The advantage of this is that as long as the sect or organization does not do anything unconscionable, the court will generally not launch troubles. Dealing with a sect is far more difficult than imagined, and framed It is also very difficult to do a whole sect. So far, there has never been a sect or organization that has had an accident because of guarantees.

Apparently, the reason why Huayumen is trying their best to stir up the news that the Bronze Sect has the treasures of the previous dynasty is because they want to be court guarantors—once the court hears such rumors that shake the hearts of the people, it must try its best to track down the matter Now, Hua Yumen can take the opportunity to participate in it, not only has the reason to do it, but also has the backing of the imperial court, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Now that they're so desperate, I don't have to bother with rumors anymore.

I have other things to do.

Although the people of Huayumen are not good people, the scenery where Huayumen is located is really good.

Through Wangxi's letter, I have basically visited all parts of the country, but due to various well-known reasons, Wangxi has never been to Huayumen.The sect is guilty, but the land where the sect is located is innocent, and the scenery of Huayumen is praised by the outside world, so I have always thought about this place in my heart. Now that I have nothing to do, I came to Huayumen to see how it changed What has become.

Sure enough, as rumored by the outside world, there is a hole in the sky here.There are few fish and shrimps in the water, but there are various aquatic plants. If you look closely at the bottom of the water, they are all white sand and stones. The water is already beautiful, and the islands and mountains in the middle of the water are even more wonderful. Each has its own special vegetation, dark crimson, light red, tender green, goose yellow echo each other, and there are birds and animals singing in it, which has the momentum of a fairy island descended from heaven.These islands are connected by high cable bridges, and from the shore to the main island is a long covered bridge. The elegantly shaped covered bridge is simple in color, which must be the mellow color precipitated after being weathered. I have read the bridge for a long time, and now I finally meet it again, I feel really excited and complicated.

I have been here when I was a child, and I don’t remember much at that time, but the appearance of the covered bridge is deeply imprinted in my heart. This is indeed a fairyland on earth. Before the accident of the Bronze Sect, I wanted to bring Wangxi to come here. Look, at this point, I hope Wang Xi will never come here.

Just let him stay in the Bronze Pie, that's fine.

Rong Chengxun looked for it from a distance, he looked carefully for a while, and after confirming that it was me, he spoke: "Here, the wine you want."

It's not surprising that he stared at me. After all, I've changed my appearance. Now I'm Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu was the one who took care of me with Sister Hua for a long time. He was very kind to me. He passed away a few years ago, but I know He and Sister Hua have a very deep relationship. If he is alive, he will definitely bring wine to pay homage to Sister Hua.

Sister Hua's name is Sister Hua, and her surname is Sister Hua.For the sake of her younger siblings, she worked as a maid, opened a teahouse, worked as an embroiderer in the palace, and finally became her favorite chef. Wherever she went, everyone would regard "Sister Hua" as the three She yelled the word loudly, and she even teased her own name, saying that when she was a certain age, she could still be called "big sister". The age of "big sister" did not take advantage of that after all.

I imagined the scene of her death a thousand times, but each one felt unreal, and I think this is because I have not seen her without breath, I have not witnessed her disappear.

Later, I heard from others that Sister Hua passed away on the covered bridge. Her death was quiet, and the news was not sent back to the Bronze Sect until four days later. By that time, she had already died in the belly of a fish. , I can't get anything.

On the night when he got the news, Wu Shuku sat up all night, and the next day he ate, drank, ran and danced like a normal person. I thought he didn't really like Miss Hua that much, and he was quite resentful, but I didn't expect that after a month, everything When the dust settled, I never saw Uncle Wu again.

He left a letter, poor man who can't hold a pen well, actually wrote a whole 45-page letter, exhorting and exhorting me, and didn't tell me until the end of the letter that he was going to take revenge.But who knows exactly who took Sister Hua's life, no one will know except the person involved.

All I know is that I don't even have Uncle Wu anymore.

The two of them have a very good relationship, even the way of walking is similar, the only difference is that this time I can catch up with the coffin.

Because I didn't move all the time, Rong Chengxun suddenly handed me a handkerchief, probably because of a misunderstanding, I smiled at him, and then poured a jar of wine into the shallows.

The wine belongs to Wu Shujing, I don't believe in ghosts and gods.When a person dies, he is dead. Even if there is a wandering soul returning to another place and reincarnated, he is no longer the original person and has nothing to do with his previous life. So when a person dies, he is gone, and the residue left behind is eaten by fish. I also end up clean, I just ask her to completely cut off the entanglements of this life, and to be a carefree person in the next life, not to be a servant, not to open a teahouse, not to enter the palace to be a embroiderer, but to be a chef.

"Is Uncle Wu so willing? I remember that he knows how to live a good life." Rong Chengxun raised his eyes and took back the veil embarrassingly, "You don't look like you this time."

I put down the wine jar: "You lived at the foot of the mountain since you were a child, don't you know, Uncle Wu has always been very generous to Sister Hua."

"yes……"

"Yes." Not only is life willing to fight, but wine is also willing to respect.

Rong Chengxun lowered his head again, with rejection in his voice: "You say yes, for so many years, even if I knew it, I would have forgotten it."

Yes, all these years.Time flies so fast, in a few years, I will be older than Sister Hua.

Calling her eldest sister at that time is indeed taking advantage of her.
