Chapter 1573 I Don’t Mind Your Cleansing
There was no one to greet them, only Long Shu and two maids.
This was a special instruction from Lei Zhen. He didn't want to trouble too many people, so his wife could come to pick him up. If he didn't tell her, the elders of the Long family would come.
That would be bad, as it would be like making things difficult for your wife.
After all, there are still many members of the Long family who are dissatisfied. Although they don't say it, they must feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
"husband."
Long Shu's face was full of smiles, but her complexion looked a little pale.
"Wife, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Lei Zhen walked up to her, held her in his arms and kissed her deeply.
It smells very good and has a very mellow taste, and she has to be the daughter-in-law that was married to her in a formal ceremony.
Although it is not as exciting as having an affair, what belongs to you is yours and it will never change.
"What happened?" Long Shu asked.
"It's hard to explain in a few words, but it's quite troublesome anyway." Lei Zhen held her hand and said with a smile, "But don't worry, I can handle you, so I can definitely handle this matter too."
This is so down-to-earth, true, and encouraging.
Long Shu was of such a high status back then, yet she was taken down anyway. So Lei Zhen was very confident that he could take down the prominent family and control its development, so this matter would not be a big deal either.
"The gate of the holy land was just opened half a year ago. Elder Long Xun brought people to worship. It will take ten years for the gate to open again." Long Shu said.
"Okay, I understand." Lei Zhen nodded.
The sanctuary opens its doors once every ten years, and only for a few days. During these few days, those who are destined can enter, and some people will also walk out.
Once closed, it will enter a closed period of ten years, during which no one can enter.
"What should we do then? Should we go?" Long Shu asked worriedly, "Once it's sealed, the Death Valley will activate, and no living thing will be able to pass through."
To enter the sanctuary, one must pass through the Death Valley. It is said that this valley is only passable for a few days in ten years. During the rest of the time, any living creature that enters will die.
"I have to go." Lei Zhen sighed softly and said, "I have provoked the Western Prophet. I must enter the Holy Land to find a solution. Otherwise, I am afraid I will have to... just keep it to yourself. Don't tell the elders of your Long family."
"I am your wife, you have to trust me." Long Shu stared into his eyes.
His eyes were full of determination, but also a hint of dissatisfaction, as if he was not trusted.
There are some things that don't need to be discussed between husband and wife, so Lei Zhen's instructions seemed inappropriate, and it was normal for them to cause his wife's dissatisfaction.
"Sister Long Shu."
"Call me Auntie. I'm 46."
"This...Wife, I don't mean anything else, I'm just scared."
After a slight teasing, Lei Zhen's face became extremely serious.
"Many people wanted me dead because they thought there would be no more mountains above my head after I died. But they never imagined that there would be landslides and earthquakes, and I would be buried alive without knowing why."
"I'm not questioning you, nor can I question you, because my life is in your hands, but too many people in the Long family want me dead, and you know it very well—"
Lei Zhen's life has always been in Long Shu's hands because of the immortal.
When he was bitten by the fairy released by Mi Tang, he was saved by Long Shu's blood. Since then, he has to take antidote every three months.
This medicine is made from Long Shu's blood. Once she stops taking it, she will die of the poison again.
Is there any other way to save it?
Of course there is hope!
Wu Mei was able to completely remove the deadly poison from the snake because the snake was cultivated by their Mei clan, but Lei Zhen refused and chose to continue using Long Shu's medicine.
This is equivalent to putting your life in the hands of the other party. Of course, it is also to reassure the Long family of Shenlong Peak, otherwise the famous family will be in chaos.
Besides, with the Long family's deep-rooted influence, it is not impossible for them to carry out a restoration.
So we have to reassure the Long family and also reassure Long Shu.
"Yes, I know. Sometimes it's hard for me too."
"From time to time, there are people who question and are aggressive, and are not satisfied with the status quo."
Every family has its own problems, and the Long family’s is even more difficult, because the Dragon Emperor, Long Shu, is a woman after all, and she is married to Lei Zhen.
Strictly speaking, Lei Zhen is an enemy.
But unfortunately, the other party is the uncle of Tianji Temple, and he has put his life in Long Shu's hands, so he can feel at ease. But even so, various problems will arise.
"Wife, you are too kind." Lei Zhen laughed, "If you kill everyone who needs to be killed, no one will give you any trouble."
"It's...very hard for me to do that." Long Shu smiled bitterly.
Different people have different styles of doing things. If it were her eldest brother, he would definitely kill everyone who should be killed to maintain his rule as the Dragon Emperor.
But Long Shu never thought of becoming the Dragon King, and her methods were not cruel enough.
"That's why I married you, because you're kind-hearted enough." Lei Zhen pinched her face and said, "We can't just kill people whenever we want. That's inappropriate. A benevolent government is the ultimate way of ruling. You see, I don't like killing people."
This is the truth, even though I had just killed twenty or thirty people before coming here.
But that's someone seeking death, not someone who enjoys killing people.
To be honest, Lei Zhen almost never killed anyone in the prominent families, but he used strategy.
"So they think I won't kill anyone, bully my wife, or want to take back everything I once had. Is that right?"
"Wife, do you mind if I give you a good cleanup? I'm afraid something might happen to you. After all, the elders down there are not easy to deal with!"
A thorough cleansing is necessary, but how you clean it is important.
The deceased Pope Ster taught Lei Zhen this point of understanding, which is how to cleanse, at what point to cleanse, and how to use the great cleansing to consolidate one's position in order to achieve control over any layer below.
In other words, any organization must undergo a purge when it develops to a certain stage. Only in this way can it ensure political stability, harmony among the people, and compliance with orders.
If problems start to arise in the small town's schools, then there are problems in many places, and the problems are even bigger.
Just like at home, if you don’t clean, garbage will pile up in less than half a month. In order to maintain a good living environment, regular cleaning is very necessary.
"I don't mind." Long Shu nodded.
"You really don't mind? If you have any ideas, just say it. After all, you are the Dragon Emperor, and I am just an outsider." Lei Zhen said sincerely: "And I don't want to interfere too much in the affairs of the Long family, otherwise it will make things difficult for you."
"Husband, benevolent policies don't work. More people in the clan will suffer, so we have to purge what needs to be purged. We can't put more members of the Long family in danger because of a few people. If we continue like this, internal strife will break out sooner or later, which will be bad for both you and me." Long Shu said in a deep voice.
Having a good heart is a good thing, but it doesn’t mean you are not clear-headed.
Once internal strife breaks out in Shenlong Peak, she will be the first to bear the brunt, and her life is related to Lei Zhen's. Long Shu sees this clearly.
