In the post station, Li Hua and Wang Kai had regained consciousness.
The two men looked at Li Fan and his companion with expressions of relief after surviving a close call: "Thank you both so much for saving our lives. We will never forget your kindness."
"It doesn't matter!"
Chen Shouyu waved his hand, then looked at Li Hua and asked, "Why were those five people chasing you?"
"It's all because the two of us joined in the fun the day before yesterday..."
Finally, Li Hua said with a wry smile, "It's also my fault. I've had too smooth a life these past few years. I passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and my father rose to prominence."
They treat all powerful and influential people as uncles and elders, forgetting the cannibalistic nature of these same people.
"Be more careful next time!"
Chen Shouyu gave a word of advice.
He knew perfectly well what kind of people those bigwigs in Hejian County were; they were all ruthless and heartless.
When there are benefits to be had, they address each other as brothers.
It's considered having a conscience not to kick someone when there's no benefit to be gained.
"These corrupt officials are simply lawless."
They even dare to suppress cases where people beat drums to appeal for justice; how much must the common people be oppressed by them?
Brother Li, it's better that you can't go back now.
Why don't we head north and go to Tiandu?
"Go to the Ministry of Justice and file a complaint, bring these corrupt officials down!"
Wang Kai said indignantly, "If something like this happened in Nanzhou, there would be no need to go to the Ministry of Justice."
The Zhenwu Division can make these corrupt officials pay dearly.
"Brother Wang, I'll say it again, you're thinking too idealistically."
The Ministry of Justice is not the Ministry of Justice of one person.
The waves that Lord Nangong can stir up are ultimately limited.
In the corners he couldn't see, there were those who colluded with these corrupt officials.
Even if we went to the capital, there would be no way to appeal.
Before they even get a complaint filed, they might end up as two corpses lying in a stinking ditch.
Compared to the angry young man Wang Kai, Li Hua is much more realistic.
"That's indeed the case. My advice is that you can head north and hide for a while, but don't go looking for trouble!"
Chen Shouyu followed up with advice.
"Brother Li, my benefactor."
Although you're absolutely right, I still want to give it a try!
I do not believe that there is no place in this world where reason can prevail.
Even if it means I face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.
But if I don't go, I won't be able to get over it in my heart.
Wang Kai turned around and began packing his bags.
At that moment, he felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.
I am not going here for fame or fortune, but only for peace of mind.
"Brother Wang, I've been tricked!"
Li Hua smiled wryly and then began packing his bags.
Wang Kai looked at Li Hua, grinned, and said nothing more.
Chen Shouyu was deeply moved when he saw the two scholars, who were covered in wounds but had a light in their eyes.
This was the first time he had witnessed the power of belief.
"You should go with them this time!"
Li Fan said, "After we get to Tiandu, we'll go to the Jixia Academy first."
Find either Jiang Xue or Jiang Lan, and they will handle the rest.
As for your mother's and the others' grudges, I'll handle that!
The reason for doing this is quite simple.
First, the fact that the act of beating the drum to appeal for justice was ignored shows that it was very important in the entire legal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, since it could arouse such indignation among the scholars present.
Given this, this might be an opportunity for Nangong Zhenxiang to directly rectify the officialdom of Yuzhou.
Secondly, Chen Shouyu's departure makes it easier for him to go on a killing spree, since it's somewhat outrageous for him to fight against the Lingzong sect with his own son.
Thirdly, it would naturally be less of a burden. Chen Shouyu's meddlesome personality, while not bad, was ultimately a nuisance, and Li Fan didn't want to be constantly bothered by other things.
"good!"
Chen Shouyu nodded.
......
March 18th, early morning.
Canghe County City, County Cheng Mansion.
"Lord Han, he's here!"
Han Ling jolted awake.
Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still apprehensive when the day actually came to face "Chen Xinchen".
A tenth-grade Dharma image is already a first-rate figure.
A person who has reached the tenth level of Dharma manifestation is a truly great person among great people.
If Chen Xinchen were to truly unleash a massacre, few in the entire Lingzhou would be able to stop him.
I felt like an ant in his presence.
Even if they are killed, it will be a pointless death.
No one would hold a tenth-grade Dharma Image Perfection official accountable for their own sake.
"Prepare the carriage and inform Tan Qianqiu to come with me to see him!"
......
"Old Tan, it's just the two of us in the entire county government office. You won't mind me calling you along, will you?"
Inside the carriage, Han Ling said apologetically.
You scoundrel.
I'm not just blaming you.
I'm only doing this because my temper has improved; I won't kill you.
As the chief constable of Canghe County, Tan Qianqiu's status was self-evident.
Like Han Ling, he was also left behind.
Even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to stay with Han Ling.
"Old Han, you're being too polite by saying all this!"
Tan Qianqiu forced a smile.
"That's good, that's good!"
A smile appeared on Han Ling's face, and then he lifted the curtain of the car window.
The roadside was already bustling with people.
The roadside vendors were "invited" to both sides by the soldiers clearing the way and the constables.
The reason for making such a grand display was, of course, to make it known to everyone.
Although these soldiers and constables could not protect his safety, they could provide gossip among the ordinary people in the city.
Then I'll adopt a humble attitude, and I'm sure that a top martial arts master like Chen Xinchen will eventually have some pride.
At least, he won't start by making a move.
......
"Excuse me, sir, could you please tell me where the Tiger Guard Hall is located?"
On the long street, Li Fan randomly stopped a passerby.
The reason he did this was because he wasn't in a hurry.
Let the bullets fly for a while; that perfectly reflects his current state of mind.
After all, many people had been watching him ever since he entered the city.
He was eager to see what the people here would do.
"Weihu Hall? What are you doing there?"
The passerby looked at Li Fan with a puzzled expression.
"Let's eat some melon seeds!"
"Eating melon seeds?"
Passersby sized Li Fan up and down.
Looking at the middle-aged man with a weathered face, wearing an old blue robe and carrying a broken sword box, the passerby sighed for no reason.
These days, if you don't do well in the underworld, you'll end up like this guy.
His entire body was covered in rags, and his pockets were emptier than his face.
But even in this state, he still goes to gossip; he's quite a peculiar character.
"My friend, listen to my advice."
Go back to where you came from, and don't try to eat every melon (gossip/gossip).
A passerby earnestly advised, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Weihutang has put away all its claws these past few days. Once those people recover, you'll be the one who suffers."
"Three taels of silver!"
Without wasting words, Li Fan took out a piece of broken silver.
The passerby stood there dumbfounded. He looked at Li Fan, then immediately put on a smiling face: "Hero, come with me, I'll take you there!"
