Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 125 Xiuchun knife is not sharp enough
Ding Mian and Lu Bai knew how to assess the situation, but they were a little different from Fei Bin's reckless temperament.

Lu Bai said: "It's not a threat. I know Master Qin, you have great martial arts skills and profound sword skills. Even if the three of us join forces, we may not be your opponent. We are out of luck, and this time we kicked the iron plate. Qin My lord, your purpose is to save people, and you don't want to see the situation where the fish die and the net breaks, do you?"

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said: "It makes sense. Let Liu Zhengfeng's family members go, and I will let you go."

It wasn't that Qin Zhiyong didn't want to arrest all the people from the Songshan faction, it was because he really had more heart than power.

Speaking of it, Qin Zhiyong is the Jinyiwei, representing the imperial court, but in fact, Qin Zhiyong is the only one here to maintain the law and order.Even if Qin Zhiyong's state of mind is profound, his heart is strong, and his mental quality is excellent, he still cannot help facing the current situation.

Unless, Qin Zhiyong gave up the persistence in his heart, used the power of his mind to hypnotize the people of the Songshan School, and then went on a killing spree.Kill all the members of the Songshan faction and the Qingcheng faction, and they will be wiped out once and for all.

But Qin Zhiyong is a scholar and a disciple of Confucianism, so he can't do this.

Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and Fei Bin never thought that Qin Zhiyong would agree so easily.

Fei Bin said: "If Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children were released, what should you do if you say you're going against your word? You, Qin Zhiyong, are a court eagle. What you say is really unconvincing."

It was not the first time that Qin Zhiyong was scolded as a court eagle, but he was still not angry at all.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Qin is the Jinyiwei, the emperor's pro-army, and represents the face of the emperor and the court. When Qin speaks, he does not mean to follow what he says, but he absolutely keeps what he says. With Qin's martial arts and saber I don't bother to deceive you. What's more, the heads of all the sects are here today, and they can hear Qin's words clearly. If I go back on my word, how can I stand in the world in the future?"

People cannot stand without faith.

A person who does not talk about credibility is a villain.

Ding Mian and Lu Bai looked at each other, and let go of Liu Zhengfeng's son and daughter.

Lu Bai supported Fei Bin.

Ding Mian said to those Songshan School disciples who had their tendons broken, "Let's go."

Qin Zhiyong said, "Wait a minute."

The faces of the Songshan faction changed drastically.

Ding Mian said angrily: "Qin Zhiyong, didn't you say that you won't go back on your word? Why, do you still want to keep us?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "Qin will never turn back on what he says. Before leaving, Qin will give you a piece of advice. I say this to the Songshan sect, as well as other sects. Don't kill people, or if I find out, I will definitely not kill you." You'll get away with it."

After the Songshan faction left.

Sun Qian said, "Brother Qin, Yu Canghai has escaped."

Qin Zhiyong saw that Yu Canghai was no longer in Liu's mansion.

Yu Canghai saw Qin Zhiyong's martial arts and sword skills, and knew that he was by no means an opponent, so he took the opportunity to slip away.He said a lot of harsh words before, but fled in a desperate manner, which really slapped himself in the face.

Qin Zhiyong said, "He can't run away."

The Golden Basin Handwashing Conference was so disturbed by the Songshan faction that it could no longer be held.Yue Buqun and other sect leaders bid farewell to Liu Zhengfeng, and then left Liu's house with his disciples.

However, everyone looked at Liu Zhengfeng in a strange way.

Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang had a friendship, even if he hadn't colluded with the Demon Cult and betrayed the Five Sacred Sword Sect, people of righteous ways would probably keep him at a respectful distance in the future.

The crowd dispersed.

Liu Zhengfeng took his wife and children and knelt down to Qin Zhiyong, gratefully saying: "Liu Zhengfeng, thank you for saving my life."

Qin Zhiyong helped them up, and said: "Please get up quickly. Qin is paid by the court, and it is his duty to uphold the law. Liu Zhengfeng, you are injured, so you don't have to."

At this time, Liu Zhengfeng's apprentice came to Danian and said, "Master, the magistrate Mr. Li is here."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "Quickly, please come in Master Li."

…………

In the living room of the Liu family.

Xiang Danian walked in with an old man in his 50s.Liu Zhengfeng clasped his fists to the old man and said, "Liu Zhengfeng has met Mr. Li. Mr. Liu is disappointed, but I hope Mr. Li will forgive you."

Master Li said: "Zhengfeng, you and I are old acquaintances, so don't be so polite. I heard that you were injured by Ding Mian and Lu Bai of the Songshan School?"

Liu Zhengfeng said: "It's not a problem, a little internal injury can be healed after a period of time."

Master Li looked at Qin Zhiyong and said, "Old man Li Jing, the magistrate of Hengyang, you must be Qin Zhiyong."

Qin Zhiyong said slightly respectfully: "Qin Zhiyong, General Banner of Jinyiwei, has met Mr. Li."

Li Jing is the magistrate, a fourth-rank civil servant.

The magistrate of the fourth rank can already be regarded as a big official in the frontier and a person with real power.Li Jing's demeanor is extraordinary, not to mention that he is righteous, but observing his mental outlook, he is not a treacherous person.

No matter how advanced Qin Zhiyong's martial arts skills are, no matter how powerful his sword skills are, no matter how good his literary talents are, but in terms of official position, he is only a seventh-rank martial arts school.When you see a big official in the frontier like Li Jing, you should be more polite and respectful.

Li Jing said: "Sit down, let's all sit down."

After Qin Zhiyong sat down, he asked, "Lord Li, the Songshan faction is so rampant that they dare to come to Hengshan City to kill people. Is the imperial court not going to take care of it?"

Li Jing sighed, and said: "Care? How to control? They are all martial arts masters, lawless people from the Jianghu. The water in the Jianghu Wulin is too deep. You, Commander of Jinyiwei, are peerless experts. In the Jianghu, he is the most powerful. However, he can't control the affairs of the Jianghu."

"Qin Zhiyong, you were right to let the people from the Songshan faction leave. If you catch them, the prison in Hengshan City won't be able to lock them up. If Zuo Lengchan sends someone to rob the prison, there will be no one knows how many arrests will be made by then." Yamen servants will die under the sword of the Songshan School."

Qin Zhiyong is not the only court official with a sense of justice.

A hundred years ago, there was an official in Dali Temple who was extremely capable in handling cases, and more importantly, he was also a peerless expert.

This pusher wanted to use the imperial court's laws to punish lawless people in the world.At that time, the pushing officials took the official documents of the imperial court and the imperial decree of the emperor, and the local governments fully cooperated.

It's a pity that things still can't go on, the resistance is too great.

In the end, this peerless master under the command of Dali Temple was jointly encircled and suppressed by various sects, and ended up decapitated.

Li Jing finished telling Qin Zhiyong the deeds of the peerless masters in Dali Temple, stroked his beard, and then said: "Qin Zhiyong, you took the initiative to investigate the massacre of the Fuwei Escort, and the emperor and the court are happy to see it. The governments of all places did not cooperate with you. It is because the emperor is afraid that you will follow in the footsteps of the official who promoted you a hundred years ago. If you die under the sword of various sects, the emperor will issue an imperial decree to announce to the world that denying your status as a Jinyiwei will make you blamed. "

Qin Zhiyong was silent, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.

Li Jing continued: "Qin Zhiyong, if you're being rude, this old man, your Xiuchun Knife is not sharp enough to cut through the injustices of the world. It's too late for you to stop now."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Although Qin is a Jinyiwei, he is also a scholar. He cultivates himself, regulates his family, governs the country, and calms the world. There is no turning back when you open the bow. If you stop now, what I did before will be meaningless. I'm even more sorry. The salary given to me by the imperial court. Since the Xiuchun knife is not sharp enough to cut all the injustices, then I don't use the knife."

Clang.

Qin Zhiyong drew out the Xiuchun knife, and with a jolt of movement, the blade immediately shattered into more than ten pieces and fell to the ground.
