Chapter 305 The Truth
The Luodong Chen family and the Qiongjia gang are the two opponents of the Xiaoyao faction today.

The founder of the Chen family in Luodong is an old man of the Iron Blood Changhe Sect. He was once made a viscount by the Emperor Taizu because of his military exploits. After the Iron Blood Changhe Sect was disbanded, he followed Li Mingzhe's advice and stayed in Luoyang. It is a pity that he died young due to multiple injuries on the battlefield, which seriously affected the development of the Chen family, causing its strength to rank behind the five great masters in Luoyang.But that's all.It still defeated the Xiaoyao faction 3:2.

The Qiongjia Gang from Lianghuai Wulin is said to have been created by the remnants of the beggar gang that was exterminated by the previous dynasty. However, the martial arts inherited by this sect are really ordinary. Part of the water transport is not only not poor, but rich.The disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect defeated him 3:2 and won the second sect contest.

Xue Chang was very happy after listening to Xu Xi's story about the victory. He praised the five of them well and encouraged them to make persistent efforts and strive for another success in tomorrow's competition with the last opponent of the group, the Poyang Water Gang.

After the dinner party, Xue Chang was going to discuss with Zhou Wanyao about marrying Luo Lanmeng, but the concierge came in and reported that Xu Zhen, the commander of the Dragon Guard who had been here the night before, was asking to see him outside the door.

"Why is this person here again?" Gu Shijing showed disgust.

Xue Chang's heart moved, and he said, "I guess we're here to talk about Beiyan's spies. I'll go out and have a look first."

After finishing speaking, he strode out, and as soon as he was out of the hospital, he saw Xu Zhen coming up to him with a smile on his face, and saluted with fists cupped: "Master Xue, congratulations! As the saying goes, 'The night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber is the time for titles on the gold list', What you have done is several times better than what you said, from now on, Master Xue will be famous all over the world!"

Longwei deserves to be an organization that specializes in inquiring about news. Emperor Taixiang's marriage proposal in the city tower should not have been made public yet, and Xu Zhen's pun showed that he already knew everything, so Xue Chang didn't hide it, and said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Xu. ! You came this time just to congratulate me?"

"Of course more than that." Xu Zhen replied: "The matter you asked me to investigate yesterday has already come to a conclusion—"

"Great!" Xue Chang was overjoyed.

Xu Zhen suppressed his smile, pulled Xue Chang to the carriage far away from the entrance of the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "Today, I specially went to the Chief Martial Arts Division to check the secret files of the Bashu Martial Arts for the past 20 years, and there is indeed Xu Hao. Record. But don't get excited, just listen to me quietly."

Xue Chang nodded.

"This Xu Hao was born in a family of military generals in the former dynasty. When the northern barbarians invaded the south and the former dynasty collapsed, Xu Hao's elder brother Xu Ming was the general of the Gongzhou Navy. Surrendered, but led the army to continue to fight against the first emperor, causing a lot of trouble. Later, Gongzhou officials followed the righteousness and launched a mutiny in the city, killing him, and his family was also slaughtered by the rebels.

Xu Hao was also an official of the former dynasty in his early years. He was arrested and imprisoned because of his straightforward personality and offended the officials. He was exiled in southern Xinjiang. His wife and children died of illness during the exile.After the fall of the former dynasty, he secretly fled back to Bashu to live in seclusion. After some officials who knew about it reported to the late emperor, some generals asked the late emperor to arrest him and punish him, so as to prevent him from antagonizing the court and avenging his brother.The first emperor forbade him to praise Xu Hao for his uprightness and courage to resist traitors. He was a rare and loyal man, so he sent people to recruit him instead.Unexpectedly, Xu Hao sternly refused, saying that he no longer wanted to be an official, but only wanted to be an ordinary rivers and lakes person.

But when the northern barbarians invaded Bashu, many martial arts people from Bashu joined the army to resist the invasion, but he didn't; when many martial arts people joined the Jagged Changhemen and went to Jinghu with the army, he didn't either.During this period, he married a wife and gave birth to a child, but the child died of illness at the age of one, so he blamed his wife and divorced her.

After the establishment of this dynasty, the world was initially settled, and the people first settled down. This Xu Hao is already in his 40s and married a young wife.Later, the Xunwu Division was established, and all martial arts people in the world were notified to register with the Xunwu Division to facilitate future governance. However, Xu Hao did not want to be governed by the Xunwu Division, so he moved his family to Hanzhong and lived in seclusion in the mountains.After that, his wife gave birth to a child for him, who is your big apprentice—”

Having said that, Xu Zhen paused and looked at Xue Chang.

Xue Chang didn't interrupt, because he knew that the most critical time had come.

"Xu Hao thinks that since he lives in the mountains and does not have contact with the outside world, the court will ignore his existence. How did he know that the Martial Inspection Division not only manages these sects and martial arts people who are willing to cooperate with the court, but also pays attention to those who are willing to cooperate with the court? People from the rivers and lakes who are outside the imperial court, because they may all be threats to regional stability."

Xue Chang nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Zhen saw it, and continued: "Of course, Xu Hao is not only concerned about Xu Hao, but also some sects in Bashu. After all, those who are responsible for monitoring tasks are disciples of various sects under the leadership of the inspector... 12 years A while ago, a certain sect sent a disciple who pretended to be a hunter at the foot of the mountain and was injured by a wild beast. He was rescued by Xu Hao and stayed in his small courtyard on the mountain to recuperate. The ancestral secret book was stolen and given to this lover. After Xu Hao learned of the adultery, he was furious. He wanted to kill him, but was injured by him. Even his wife ran away with the man. Xu Hao burned himself to death in despair... ...Master Xue, is what I said the same as what you know?"

"Basically the same." Xue Chang looked at him with a serious expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Which school is it?"

Xu Zhen spit out two words from his mouth softly: "Tang Sect."

"It really is it." Xue Chang was not surprised. He had already guessed in his heart before, but now it has been clearly confirmed.

But Xu Zhen went on to say: "Actually, Xu Hao is not the only one who encountered this. In the past 20 years, there are many reclusive martial arts people who were targeted by the Tang Sect and suffered such bad luck..."

"Since the inspector knows all about the dirty deeds of the Tang Sect, why didn't he punish him?!" Xue Chang couldn't help but questioned.

"Some of these people, like Xu Hao, have cheating wives and steal secret books; some are addicted to gambling, and use the secret books to pay off debts; Despicable, but it does not take by force, it is just using the shortcomings of these people to cheat martial arts cheats, it is not considered a violation of the law of the country.

Of course, it violated some of the Great Zhou martial arts laws and regulations formulated by the Martial Inspection Division, such as not coveting other people's martial arts cheats, not using any method to snatch...etc.However, Jiang Hu people like Xu Hao, who did not register with the patrolling military division, refused to cooperate with the patrolling military division, even did not pay taxes, and contradicted the imperial court, they were not counted as citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could the imperial court be willing to seek justice for them. "

Xue Chang was dumb for a while, pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "It seems that the inspector is pampering Tang Sect."

"It's not connivance, it should be considered compensation." Xu Zhen's expression remained calm, and his tone was still steady: "Back then, Duke Hu Guo established the Iron-Blooded Changhe Gate in Bashu to help the late emperor drive out the northern barbarians. Get to Jinghu, does Master Xue know who is the first sect to approach the imperial court?"

"Tang Sect?" Xue Chang blurted out.

"That's right, it's the Tang Sect. Tang Fangyuan, the Patriarch of the Tang Sect at the time, acted perversely and had short-sightedness. It was only because of his direct blood that he reluctantly took the position of Patriarch. Many people in the Tang Clan objected to it, but his wife, Mrs. Qiu, was extremely wise. , it was under her strong impetus that the Tang Sect publicly announced its support for the imperial court, which made other wait-and-see sects gradually move closer to the imperial court. In the process of attacking Lingnan and deterring southern Xinjiang, the Tang Sect also sent many disciples to follow The army solved the pain of poisonous miasma and snakes that soldiers feared most...

Later, Duke Hu was killed by Beiyan people, and Iron Blood Changhe Gate and its subordinate troops were mobilized privately, which was a big taboo. The late emperor decided to disband him. However, Iron Blood Changhe Gate is powerful and powerful. In the future, Luoyang, which has just regained some vitality, will be corrupted in an instant, and even the newly established Dazhou will fall into war again, so the first emperor secretly sent people to seek help from various factions. Some sects thought it was an internal dispute of the imperial court and were unwilling to intervene.Do you know which sect was the first to express its opinion and immediately brought most of its disciples to Beijing? "

"Tang Sect?" Xue Chang frowned.

"It was the Tang Sect! Tang Fangyuan had already passed away at that time, but his only son born to Mrs. Qiu had a congenital disease. Tang Fangyuan acted absurdly, messing around with women in the Tang Sect, and even died on the woman's belly in the end. As the Patriarch of the Tang Sect, the life of the mother and son in the Tang Sect will be difficult, so Mrs. Qiu forcibly took over the power of the clan on the grounds of assisting her son and managing the Tang Sect, which caused dissatisfaction among many Tang Sect elders. Disputes broke out within the Tang Sect. Mrs. Qiu actively responded to the late emperor's call, and of course she had a selfish desire to seek support from the imperial court. In the end, the imperial court successfully disbanded the Jagged Changhe Sect, and Mrs. Qiu successfully secured the position of Patriarch of the Tang Sect.

Later, the late emperor ordered the establishment of the Martial Inspection Department to restore stability and order to the Great Zhou Wulin, wipe out the notorious remnants of the Demon Cult, and ban the killer organization that disturbed the order, etc. These are relatively easy to handle. For example, some gangs are good at building ships, and sell them to pirates and water bandits without distinction; some sects are good at making weapons, and even sell them to thieves; These practices seriously jeopardized the imperial court's governance of the world.Head Xue, do you think it should be restricted? "

As Xu Zhen was talking, he suddenly asked a meaningful question, while Xue Chang, whose soul came from his previous life, nodded without hesitation.
