Magistrate Chen was so happy because the guest brought by Zen Master Zhixin was not only an important witness in the Dushan Village case, but also the person who put his career in crisis.
County Magistrate Chen felt that the moment his report reached His Majesty the Emperor's desk was the end of his official career.
In the past, this case could have been settled as a revenge killing involving a foreign race. Even if the case was reported to the authorities, Magistrate Chen would not be held accountable. However, this case happened at this time, and Zen Master Zhixin witnessed it with his own eyes. Magistrate Chen could not turn it into a major event.
Guhui Sect, a cult that has emerged in southern Xinjiang in recent years, preaches doctrines in southern Xinjiang, confuses the people, and disobeys the imperial court. In the sixth year of Guang Tianyou's reign, Guhui Sect committed more than 30 major crimes in Daqi.
That's all. The key is that most of the people killed by the Guhui Sect had had entanglements with the Miao people. Now, my younger brother, His Highness Duan Wang, received a letter from the Guhui Sect last month, which bluntly stated that he would kill Prince Duan within three months.
His Royal Highness Duan Wang was romantic and passionate when he was young. When he traveled to southern Xinjiang, he once attracted a Miao girl to fall in love with him. But what kind of person was King Duan? This Miao girl was ruthlessly abandoned. It is said that this Miao girl was still pregnant with the flesh and blood of His Royal Highness Duan Wang when she was abandoned.
This matter is not a secret among the dignitaries in the capital. There are even some pedantic people who think that King Duan did the right thing and that the blood of barbarians cannot be allowed to tarnish the blood of Daqi. But when the letter from the Guhui Sect reached Prince Duan's palace, no one dared to make this comment publicly. The dignitaries were afraid that the butcher knife of the Guhui Sect would fall on their heads in the next second.
When Jinshang heard about this, he became furious. Guhui Sect made trouble under the eyes of the Holy Emperor, and even reached out to Prince Duan's palace. Today, those Miao people can kill Prince Duan, but tomorrow they will rush into the palace and kill the emperor? The Supreme Being couldn't tolerate this matter, so he ordered Jin Yiwei and Liumen to handle the case together, and also ordered all states and counties to strengthen inspections of foreigners, and be sure to capture the Guhui Cult monsters.
The incident in Dushan Village was undoubtedly the work of the Guhui Sect. When Zen Master Zhixin told County Magistrate Chen, Magistrate Chen knew that the matter could not be concealed, and immediately sent people to rush to send the news to the capital. At that time, the superiors will definitely send Jin Yiwei down to investigate. Zen Master Zhixin was born in Huguo Temple and is a highly trusted Zen master in the world. Naturally, he cannot be interrogated more. But the kid who had been in a coma for a day was different. Zen Master Zhixin did not inform County Magistrate Chen of Ye Wuji’s sect, and the Zen Master did not even know his name. This shows that the two of them just met by chance and had no close friendship. The boy was by no means a famous sect, otherwise he would not be a Zen master. His eyesight must be able to identify his master's sect.
Unfortunately, the boy had been in a coma since he was brought back by the Zen master, and County Magistrate Chen was unable to get any information from him. Now that he heard that Ye Wuji had woken up, although County Magistrate Chen seemed calm, his heart was filled with joy. Before the Jin Yiwei arrived, if this boy could be kept silent about the villagers' abduction and trafficking of women in Dushan Village, he would be able to avoid the responsibility of oversight.
Before his son's 100-day banquet was over, County Magistrate Chen hurried to Tangliyuan where Ye Wuji was staying temporarily. Ye Wuji was practicing his sword in the courtyard. The light of the sword was like thunder, like spring rain, like lightning, like the tide of a river, sometimes like a dragon entering the sea, sometimes like a roc spreading its wings. Anyone standing here in the martial arts world would surely marvel at the exquisiteness of this sword technique. It's a pity that County Magistrate Chen doesn't understand martial arts at all and can't appreciate this swordsmanship at all.
"Young hero, I'm so excited." Magistrate Chen said with a smile on his face, even though he was quite dissatisfied with Ye Wuji's practice of practicing swordsmanship in his mansion.
