"I haven't been able to sleep at night for the past month."
Compared to the emotional damage, the physical injuries are nothing!
Being defeated in one's area of expertise is something no one can accept.
Shen Jinghe was no exception. "I came here to avenge my previous humiliation!"
"In the past two days, I have investigated all of Qin Yu's information."
There are no issues with his identity or background.
There was nothing unusual about their interpersonal interactions.
If it weren't for your information, even Tingfenglou wouldn't know that she and Chen Xinchen had a past relationship...
Combined with her being silenced and the third young master of the Chang family being inexplicably dragged into the turmoil...
I am almost certain that the force behind Qin Yu is the Spider Web, the intelligence network of the four major families.
Only this organization dares to plot against the Chang family.
Only this organization could have planted such a hidden network.
Speaking of the hidden plot, Shen Jinghe thought of that man.
Former Spider Web Master, Dongfang Quan Cheng, the most refined scholar in Tiandu.
Shen Jinghe originally thought he had hidden himself well enough.
But to his surprise, Dongfang Quancheng was even more cunning than he had imagined.
Fortunately, Dongfang Quancheng died, killed by the man right in front of him.
This also proves a point: in the face of an absolute brute, all planning is superfluous.
"I see. It seems the four major families are trying to cause trouble for the Spirit Sect this time!"
After confirming the forces behind Qin Yu, many things became less complicated.
Spiderweb originally didn't intend to use Qin Yu as a chess piece.
It just so happens that I used Chen Xinchen's identity at this particular time, which is why I attracted the attention of certain people.
Qin Yu and her son were used to intensify the conflict between Chen Xinchen and the Lingzong Sect.
As for why Spiderweb didn't choose to join forces with Chen Xinchen directly, the reason is quite simple.
Firstly, they were unsure whether Chen Xinchen was indeed Chen Xinchen, given that they had been tricked by their own team during the battle in Jiangzhou.
Secondly, Chen Xinchen and Long Daoji are enemies, while Long Daoji is his ally. At this time, trying to win over Chen Xinchen could very likely bring unnecessary trouble. For example, he might bring people to kill Chen Xinchen to help his ally solve some problems.
Thirdly, in the struggle for the royal family's secret realm, there is only one Dharma Body Pill. Putting aside the benefits of winning over Chen Xinchen, we also have to be wary at crucial moments. Rather than that, it would be better to let him directly confront the Spirit Sect.
"What are Alliance Leader Li's plans to do next?"
Seeing that Li Fan understood immediately, Shen Jinghe became somewhat curious.
He wanted to see what Li Fan would do.
After all, Li Fan is now the leader of the Grand League.
"I'm here to cause trouble for the Spirit Sect."
Since the four major families have already handed me the knife, I have no reason not to accept it.
Of course, we can't just let the four major families watch the show.
Senior Shen, what do you think?
"Leader Li, I, Old Shen, am relieved to hear your words."
You are in charge of the Lingzong faction.
"I'll give them some fun over there on the other side of the spider web!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinghe smiled.
......
At the same time, in the county government office of Hejian County, a large, dusty drum was struck.
The act of beating a drum to appeal for justice has not happened for a long time.
In fact, in Hejian County, many things are not based on the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The people here believe in a simple viewpoint.
If something happens, find someone immediately.
If you can't find it, then you're out of luck.
There are almost no people who do what Chen Shouyu did.
The surrounding pedestrians were all attracted.
Discussions ensued.
"Who is that person, daring to beat the drum and appeal for justice?"
"I don't know him, but even if he doesn't die, he'll be skinned alive!"
"Brother Li, what makes you say that?"
A young scholar asked, looking puzzled.
"Zou Tiansheng, the magistrate of Hejian County, was also known as Zou the Skinflint!"
You'll have to figure out the rest yourself!
The man accompanying him whispered, "If nothing unexpected happens, this person is about to have an accident."
If you have money, then it's fine.
Without money, he would surely die.
"Brother Li, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
The young scholar frowned and said, "According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all those who beat the drum to appeal for justice must have their cases reported to higher authorities."
The provincial, prefectural, and county governments need to conduct a joint investigation, and at the same time, case files will be sent to the imperial court for review by the Ministry of Justice.
If this person gets into trouble, someone from higher up will definitely investigate!
Li Hua shook his head slightly, then leaned close to the young scholar's ear and said, "Brother Wang, let me put it this way to you!"
The entire officialdom of Yuzhou, from top to bottom, is a single group.
"It's easy to cover up the death of one or two people."
Even if the officials in Yuzhou protect each other, isn't there still the Ministry of Justice above them?
The current Minister of Justice, Lord Nangong, is a graduate of the Jixia Academy and is known for his integrity and impartiality.
The stability and peace of Nanzhou were established by Lord Nangong.
He was able to quell the rebellion in the southern region, preventing heroes from breaking the law with their martial arts and restraining the power of the nobility.
They then have the ability to restore order to the court. A few days ago, I heard that dozens of corrupt officials in the three prefectures of northern Xinjiang were brought down.
How dare the officials of Yuzhou act so presumptuously?
The young scholar's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if there were real light in them.
Seeing that they had attracted the attention of those around them, Li Hua quickly covered Wang Kai's mouth.
"Brother Wang, this is Yuzhou, not Nanzhou."
The powerful and influential in Nanzhou dared not act recklessly, but the officials in Yuzhou certainly did.
No matter how powerful Lord Nangong is, he has no jurisdiction over Yuzhou.
And do you really think that the Ministry of Justice can accomplish anything with just one Lord Nangong?
Although he was able to oversee the overall situation, he ultimately needed his subordinates to do the work.
Most of those people came from various states.
Behind them stood nothing more than powerful figures from various states.
Do you think it's possible for them to deal with their own people?
Also, please keep your voice down.
Speaking carelessly can truly bring about a fatal disaster!
Li Hua's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Wang Kai's heart.
Yuzhou seems truly different!
Even a scholar like Brother Li accepted this rule in his heart.
Power is supreme, force is supreme.
But is this really the right thing to do?
Is this really how the world should be?
Wang Kai looked into the distance and fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
"Hey, look, those constables are retreating!"
"That shouldn't be the case! Aren't they usually quite arrogant?"
"Idiot, don't you even know who they're facing!"
Among the crowd, a passing martial artist recognized Chen Shouyu.
Compared to the other powerful figures who swaggered around the county town, Chen Shouyu seemed somewhat out of place.
His activities were limited to the river docks.
Even when entering the city, they would quietly complete their business and then leave.
Therefore, most of the residents in the county town had only heard his name and did not know what he looked like.
"Master Wang, who is he?"
"Chen Shouyu, the Swift Sword of Hejian!"
"What? It was him!"
"No wonder those yamen runners didn't dare to come forward."
"Wasn't it said that the Xia Ke Tang and Yu Lu Lou were supposed to be destroyed? Why isn't he dead?"
"Who knows? But why did he come to the county government office?"
"That's easy, he's here to report a crime!"
"Report a crime? Don't be ridiculous. His enemies dared to wipe out the Xia Ke Tang, why would he be afraid of the Hejian County government?"
"After all, the county government represents the imperial court, so their intervention will definitely be useful!"
"Will it be useful? In my opinion, at best they'll just pay some money, then the officials will host a banquet, and both sides will drink three cups as a penalty, and that'll be it!"
