Chapter 219 The Unexpected Reaction of Emperor Chongning
These residents in Zhongjing City all came out calling for friends and looking at the scene in front of them in amazement.

I feel that my long-standing view of the world has been impacted.

A brothel girl can also be buried in such a beautiful way;
A rich man, Duke Xie Yuan, would condescend to pay his funeral;

Then, all the brothel women in the city spontaneously came to see him off?

Looking at the mighty team in front of them, many people felt a kind of strange novelty, maybe it would be rare to see such conversation material in this life, so they all followed subconsciously, and then the team became bigger and bigger, all the way out of the city.

Just when Xia Jingyun could see the city gate in the distance, two old men in Confucian shirts, surrounded by more than ten young scholars, blocked the way.

Xia Jingyun stepped forward calmly, "What do you all want?"

"Master Xia, this is not in line with etiquette! Please stop!"

"What's wrong with that?"

"As Jieyuan of a state, you are well-known all over the world, representing the face of a state's students! At this moment, you are burying a lowly prostitute. Isn't it a ridiculous thing! It's ridiculous! It's not too late to turn back! The old man and others will not stop his burial, but you must leave immediately!"

Xia Jingyun said calmly, "She's not a prostitute."

"Why not! Everyone knows! She is the number one card in the Fenghe Pavilion!"

Xia Jingyun looked at him, "But, she has already redeemed herself."

The old man was taken aback, apparently he had not received such information before, but he continued immediately: "So what! A prostitute for a day, a prostitute for the rest of his life! A person who always entertains people with sex, how can he be able to enter the elegant hall!"

Xia Jingyun looked at him: "Sir, what do you mean, as long as you make a mistake, you should bear this brand for the rest of your life? There will never be a chance to reform?"

The old man's momentum weakened, "If you can do that kind of business, if you can still behave like ordinary people, what's the etiquette!"

"The court laws allow it, why don't you allow it!"

Xia Jingyun hadn't opened his mouth yet, but a figure in white rushed out from the side, looked coldly at the group of Confucian scholars and scholars blocking the way, and opened his mouth angrily!
"If she is willing to degenerate, we will naturally avoid her, and we will spurn her, and we will never do such a thing! But since she has a heart for the light, is willing to be good, and has spent all her savings to redeem herself, why should we treat her as a prostitute!"

Bai Yunbian glared, "Gao Yang is willing to act like this, I don't agree, but I will definitely not stop it, and you are even more unworthy to stop it!"

"It's all of you. When people have to endure humiliation and entertain others with sex, you are all pursuing and obsessing with others. You can't wait to hug other people's feet and lick them. When people really want to be a good person, you despise them. Is this how you behave with your mouth full of benevolence and morality? Don't you think it's absurd? Don't deny it. I have met several of you in Fenghe Hall! You look so perverted, I'm sorry!"

"My Great Xia has established the country for hundreds of years. There have been bandits, enemy generals, and rebels who were recruited and surrendered. These people later made many contributions to Great Xia. In your opinion, these people should never have such a chance. They should have been chopped down at that time, with the proper law!"

"What kind of prisons are there in this world? Once you commit a crime, you can just chop it up with a knife. Anyway, as long as you make a mistake, you shouldn't have the chance to be a normal person again. Why bother to imprison him? It's a waste of manpower and material resources? Just chop it up with a knife, and use the proper law!"

"The sages once said that knowing your mistakes can make you better. The Buddha also said that you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. How come you say that it is heinous? These miserable people, the only thing left in their lives is this little thought. Are you going to completely deprive them of it? Are you worthy?"

"Go away, my son!"

Baiyun's fire was fully fired, and the people on the opposite side were so scolded, their faces were red, they obediently moved out of the way, covered their faces and fled.

Xia Jingyun, who did not expect Baiyun to come, looked at him and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Finally his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, Bai Yunbian, who had shown himself in front of so many people, was so excited that his hands were shaking, he nodded reservedly, and said proudly: "It's okay."

The team continued to move forward, and when they reached the city gate, the women in the brothel stopped in unison. No matter how tolerant the owner was, it was impossible for them to go out of the city like this.

As a result, the team became the group of people who started out again.

Compared with the funeral procession, the burial is much simpler. Gongsun Jing found a hilltop with good geomantic omen in the nearest Zhuangzi under the jurisdiction of the Hou Mansion, and buried Ning Bing.

Seeing that the coffin was covered with brown soil, and Ying'er beside him was crying into tears, Xia Jingyun also felt a little sympathetic.

This is the first old friend he personally sent away in this world.

And this will only be the beginning of his life.

In the future, there will be one after another.

The original faint barrier seemed to quietly disappear with the end of this fresh life.

Gongsun Jing walked up to him, with a worried expression on his face, "My lord, when we return to the city, the ground will be full of mess."

Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes and sneered, "It's a mess? That's not necessarily the case."

"Hahahaha!"

Lu Rusong, the British Duke, has never stopped smiling since he woke up in the morning.

Until noon, he was still smiling, "It was such a good situation, but he broke it up! This Xia Jingyun really lost his mind! God help me! God help me!"

"Burning a prostitute, is this something a family member can do? Not only is he cutting himself off from scholars, but he is also cutting himself off from the family!"

The British prince was in a good mood, and he ate an extra bowl of rice at noon.

And in the Qin family at this moment, Qin Yuwen was furious again!
"This is trampling on the face of my Qin family! If you don't avenge this revenge, you will never be a human being!"

He thumped the table angrily, and the steward beside him also lowered his head, thinking that Mr. Xia was indeed a little too much.

The man was killed by the Qin family, and you held his funeral with such great fanfare, and even attended his funeral, is it that you are determined to fight the Qin family to the end?

"Son, why don't you ask the old Patriarch! Let's see what happens next and how to deal with it."

"Need not!"

Qin Yuwen's pride made him immediately wave his hands, "It's just a waste of passion, I can settle it myself!"

Almost the entire elite class in Zhongjing City gave Xia Jingyun's unexpected move an extremely low opinion. Even some people who were faintly optimistic about him changed their attitudes in an instant, but the reaction in the palace was surprising.

When the head of the Black Ice Terrace, Xuanhu, told Emperor Chongning in detail about today's events.

Emperor Chongning frowned when he heard the words, asked again, and after getting a confirmed answer, he fell silent.

Xuanhu said softly: "Your Majesty, this Mr. Xia is indeed a little reckless. He went to the funeral for a prostitute, oh no, he claimed to be an innocent woman who had been redeemed, and many dignitaries and officials complained."

"It's okay if they have criticisms, it doesn't matter."

Emperor Chongning suddenly smiled, "I am very happy to hear about this."

Xuanhu raised his head in surprise and looked at Emperor Chongning, the head of the Black Ice Terrace who walked in the eerie darkness and knew the most secrets in the world, and was also puzzled by Emperor Chongning's reaction.

Emperor Chongning hesitated for a moment, but explained a few words to his loyal dog.

"Think about it, what is Xia Jingyun capable of?"

Xuanhu replied: "Handsome appearance, outstanding talent and learning, unparalleled poetic talent, outstanding intellect, and fantastic ideas. The pulley earth transportation method presented in Sishui Prefecture earlier has achieved a lot in the construction of frontier cities. The invention of this mirror is also a testament to his business talent."

Emperor Chongning nodded slightly and looked at him with a smile, "Then what is his weakness?"

Xuanhu was stunned, looking at the smile on Emperor Chongning's face, after a moment's hesitation, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning suddenly split the chaos in his mind, and he suddenly realized.

Seeing his expression, Emperor Chongning knew that he had already guessed it, and put his hands behind his back, "For me, it is a good thing to value love and righteousness, and it is also a good thing to be arrogant. If he has no weakness at all, how can I use him with confidence!"

Xuanhu was sincerely convinced, feeling the huge gap between the emperor's heart and himself, bowed and bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Chongning said: "Gao Yi, order someone to pass on an oral order, telling him that if he behaves recklessly, if there is another time, he will not be forgiven lightly!"

Gao Yi, who had been standing aside like a wooden stake, nodded in response.

Emperor Chongning suddenly asked: "Did you say you were going to Zhaoyang Palace tonight?"

Gao Yi respectfully said: "Yes, Concubine Shu sent someone to ask when His Majesty will be there."

"Tell her that I'm tired, I won't go tonight, go and invite Concubine De to press me down."

Gao Yi froze for a moment, then nodded in response.
-
Zhulin, Jiang Yuhu frowned after hearing the report from his subordinates, "Why is this kid so mad? How do you do such a thing?"

Behind him, the old military god sat on a chair and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuhu told the news he had just received, with a puzzled expression on his face, "This kid usually takes one step at a time and three steps at a time, how could he do such a stupid thing?"

The old military god smiled slightly after hearing this, "Do you still remember that Hou Zhongyi fought with Beiliang and made great contributions, but after returning to Beijing, he was so arrogant that he killed evil dignitaries and caused lawsuits?"

Hearing his grandfather talking about the long past, Jiang Yuhu nodded subconsciously.

The old military god went on to say: "Loyalty Hou has done too much, and the rewards are too generous, which will easily attract His Majesty's suspicion. This is the idea that the old man gave him. It can not only take the opportunity to eliminate evil for the people, but also give His Majesty a higher level. Later, this kid learned this trick well. Among several military princes, he lived the most comfortable life."

Jiang Yuhu suddenly realized, "You mean, he is polluting himself?"

"Not necessarily. Naturally, there are factors of affection, but if you dare to act like this, you naturally have this calculation in it. As for the thoughts of those fat-headed waste, who cares!"

The old military god Youyou said with emotion: "The old man is very curious, is he really 20 years old?"
