After Li Chengfeng introduced Chu Yun to Ouyang Nan and others, Ouyang Nan and others immediately respected Chu Yun with great courtesy.
In this world, sometimes it is not just because some people have big fists that they will be respected and treated with courtesy. Similarly, it is not just because some people have no strength that they will be spurned and humiliated.
Justice is in people's hearts, and righteousness will last forever.
There is a scale in everyone's heart, and this scale has nothing to do with strength, position, race, or origin.
It is related to what everyone does, to everyone's decision at critical moments, to this person's personality charm, and to this person's moral integrity.
General Long Tenghai was just a weak scholar who couldn't carry his shoulders or lift his hands. However, he was able to attract a generation of prodigy Gao Shenghan to serve him regardless of his status. He had nothing but personality charm.
Li Chengfeng is just a newcomer who has just joined the Hidden Sword Pavilion for less than a month, but Ouyang Nan and others are already willing to listen to his orders, without any hesitation, it is just his leadership ability.
Chu Yun, the chief administrator of Tong'an City, may be a moderate official in Tong'an City, but in the eyes of the monks such as Li Chengfeng, he is just a small official with a big nose. However, he did not want to join forces with the prefect of Tong'an. He would rather die than redress the grievances of the people and went to Beijing to file a complaint. This courage and justice were admired by Li Chengfeng and others.
"Sir, please sit down!!"
Ouyang Nan respectfully invited Chu Yun to the side of Li Chengfeng and sat down at the bottom. Li Chengfeng pulled Chu Yun to his seat and said respectfully: "Master Chu, please take a seat!"
Chu Yun was startled. Although it was a barren mountain, with everyone leaning against a cave and surrounding a bonfire, Li Chengfeng and others still followed the etiquette and asked Chu Yun to sit at the top. He quickly waved his hands and declined.
Chu Yun said: "I am just a small registrar. I dare not sit side by side with all the masters."
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but put Chu Yun in the top position. He said: "What Mr. Chu does has nothing to do with status, official position, or identity. Anyone who has integrity and conscience in his heart will let Mr. Chu sit in this position. Come on! Not for anything else, just for the great righteousness in Mr. Chu’s heart!”
Chu Yun let out a long sigh and exclaimed: "Ashamed! I have been reading saints' books for more than forty years, but I never thought that... in the end, I would be useless. I could only rely on my passion to fight against this unscrupulous official. If not Master saved me, I'm afraid..."
As he spoke, he shook his head with tears in his eyes.
Li Chengfeng was silent for a while, then he took a deep breath and sighed: "Master Chu, please don't belittle yourself! The grievances and turmoil in Tong'an City still need Master Chu to make it known to the world and wash away the grievances!"
Ouyang Nan let out a long sigh and said, "If we weren't so busy with worldly affairs, I would have accompanied Mr. Chu to Beijing and properly prosecuted this imperial edict!"
Su Youdao, who had been silent all the time, said: "The emperor may not be able to take care of this matter. This matter... must be dealt with by the national preceptor."
Ouyang Nan sneered and said, "National Preceptor? How many years has it been since the Imperial Preceptor did nothing? Can he take care of this?"
Su Youdao: "In half a year's time, there will be a five-year cultivator fighting conference, and the national master will definitely appear at that time!"
Ouyang Nan was stunned, clapped his legs and said: "Yes! It makes sense! This matter involves practitioners, and I'm afraid the emperor is really difficult to control. It would be more useful for you to find the national master."
Chu Yun was silent for a while. As an orthodox official, he actually resented these monks who were above the entire scribe group, especially the culprits of the Tong'an Rebellion were those monks who were so powerful and lawless, but... But... His life was saved by these monks.
This made Chu Yun very conflicted deep in his heart.
Chu Yun was of course more inclined to seek a petition from His Majesty the Emperor to resolve this matter. As a scribe, he was of course more inclined to resolve this issue at the level of civil servants. What he wanted to sue more was the Tongan bureaucrats represented by Xu Tao.
As for the culprit who caused the entire Tong'an incident, Chu Yun felt like a mirror in his heart. He knew that with his ability and status, he could not control it. If he did, he would probably cause even greater disaster!
Chu Yun has his persistence and bottom line, but he is never pedantic or stupid!
But Li Chengfeng and the others also had their own ideas. In their opinion, the person who deserved the most severe punishment for the whole incident was Qian Shanxue, who disregarded his fellow disciples and acted brazenly, ultimately causing turmoil!
But, how can we bring down Qianshanxue
Is it based on their cultivation strength
Don't be kidding, even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be able to beat a single finger of Qian Shanxue!
After all, the rain of meteorites and fire and the contemptuous faces in the sky gave them an extremely strong shock!
When Li Chengfeng saw that Chu Yun was silent, he knew that Chu Yun had something else on his mind, so he said, "It's getting late, everyone, please rest quickly. I'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and you, Xiaobao, will be on duty for the rest of the night. Everyone else, please rest quickly!" Mr. Chu, you sleep in the back!"
As a weak scholar, Chu Yun was really exhausted, so he didn't give in. He nodded and went into the cave. Li Chengfeng looked at Han Tianxing and said, "Junior brother Han, you can sleep inside too."
Han Tianxing is also a weak scholar, but he is young after all, so he showed off his courage and said: "I'm not tired, I can stay up all night!"
Li Chengfeng glared at him and said, "Go in!"
Han Tianxing didn't dare to speak and went in honestly.
After Li Chengfeng arranged everyone, he came to the entrance of the cave, leaned against the stone wall, hugged his chest with his hands, and stared blankly in the direction of Tong'an City outside the cave. He couldn't help but think about the reason why he came to Tong'an City in his mind. Bit by bit.
From Zhou Ling competing in martial arts to recruit a bride, to meeting his senior sister in a restaurant, to them being taken into the dungeon, to their bitter battle with Ji Wusheng, to his encounter with Bao Lian at night, and then the sky raining fire, Zhou Ling, Zhou Bo, sisters and Bao Lian successively Die before his eyes.
Finally, when they fled, the entire Tong'an City was looted like a war, and countless people died tragically in the turmoil.
All of this made Li Chengfeng's heart extremely heavy.
"Alas... If I had known what happened today, I would have regretted it for the first time!" Li Chengfeng sighed softly, covering his face with his hands and leaning his head back on the stone wall.
"Junior Brother Chengfeng, is there something on your mind?" A voice whispered from the side. Li Chengfeng turned around and saw that it was Tianjun.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Senior Brother Tian, why don't you go and rest? You are our main force now."
Tianjun smiled slightly and said, "There is something I want to ask Senior Brother Chengfeng."
Li Chengfeng was a little surprised. In his eyes, Tianjun was a very low-key and plain person who almost never took the initiative to talk about anything.
Li Chengfeng asked, "What's wrong with Senior Brother Tianjun?"
Tianjun looked at Chu Yun inside, lowered his voice and said, "If we return to Lingshan safely, what will Junior Brother Chengfeng... do?"
Li Chengfeng instantly understood Tianjun's intention: Yes, if they successfully return to the Lingshan Sect, what will they do next
Is it to expose Qian Shanxue's evil deeds to the boss? Or should you swallow your anger, accumulate strength, and wait for opportunities
The assessment and rating will be in less than a month, and the critical moment of life and death for Zangjian Pavilion is coming. At this time, is it really wise to focus on Qianshanxue, who is almost impossible to conquer
But... if we just let it go, wouldn't Zhou Ling, Zhou Bo and Bao Lian die in vain? Should all the blood debts of the tens of thousands of people in Tong'an City be left to Chu Yun to collect
This huge problem was immediately placed in front of Li Chengfeng, almost overwhelming him.
