Chapter 562: Just A Little Lazy...
The man surnamed Dong sighed: "Brother Zhong is from the state of Chu, so he is naturally blessed, but I am from the state of Zhou, how can I redress my grievances?"
The man surnamed Zhong asked suspiciously: "When you came to Yongzhou, didn't Brother Dong say that this trip was only to find an opportunity to take revenge? Did Brother Dong ever find an opportunity?"
The man surnamed Dong gritted his teeth and said: "Originally, I came here to find a suitable time to join a big sect and ask the sect to avenge my grievances, but who would have thought that they would not dare to offend the Poison Scorpion Sect. It is great that Brother Zhong was born in Chu State Blessed, someone like me who wanders the Rivers and Lakes... well... this is probably fate."
The man surnamed Zhong waved his hand and said, "Master Hou, he understands righteousness deeply, and hates evil like hatred. The disciples of the Poison Scorpion Sect beat Brother Dong's Little Brother to death. It is really an act of human and god indignation! If Brother Dong doesn't go, I will ask Lord Hou!"
The man surnamed Dong looked at the man surnamed Zhong who walked out and wanted to pull him, but he didn't. The man surnamed Zhong had already walked out.
The man surnamed Dong saw that he couldn't stop him, so he had to follow the man surnamed Zhong forward again.
Seeing the man surnamed Zhong, Xu Qing was surprised and said, "Do you still have grievances?"
The man surnamed Zhong knelt down on one knee and cupped fist, and the man surnamed Dong also knelt down helplessly.
The man surnamed Zhong said: "Master Hou, Caomin is not doing it for himself this time, but for the people who came to Liuzhou to participate in this Martial Forest conference and met in the same way!"
"Oh?" Xu Qing asked curiously, "A fellow traveler? It seems that your friend is a bit shy."
The head of the man surnamed Dong lowered.
The man surnamed Zhong shook his head and said: "No, Lord Hou, Cao Min's friend is not from Chu, but from Zhou. He has a blood feud with the Poison Scorpion Sect! I beg Lord Hou to avenge him!"
"People from the state of Zhou." After thinking for a while, Xu Qing said, "It's not because I don't want to appeal for grievances, but because I don't have the power to do so. Naturally, Ben Hou, a disciple of the poisonous scorpion sect in the state of Chu, can order the arrest, even if the criminal is in a foreign country. After the war between the two countries is over, I can also ask the court to force Zhou to hand over the criminals, but the Rivers and Lakes of Zhou has the court of Zhou to intervene, and I am the Marquis of Chu, so I can’t do it for me.”
"Don't say Zhou Guo, even if it is Chu State, I can only hand over some criminals to the government for questioning according to the law. Even I don't have the power to enforce the law. I can only supervise the execution of local officials. This is the process and rules of the court. , There is no rule without rules, and without rules, it is easier to breed corruption and gain power, I hope you understand."
The man surnamed Dong sighed and said: "What Hou Ye said is true, there is no rule, there is no circle, and Hou Ye's power is not in this, the grassroots dare not force it."
Xu Qing looked at the man surnamed Dong and sighed, "I'm sorry."
The cupped fist man surnamed Zhong looked at Xu Qing and said, "Master Hou, the Zhou government can't control the affairs of Rivers and Lakes, so... my friend has something to complain about?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Since, as you said, Rivers and Lakes has its own Rivers and Lakes rules, and the influence of the imperial court is indeed small among Rivers and Lakes, why don't you use the rules of Rivers and Lakes?" Follow the rules?"
"The rules of Rivers and Lakes?" The man surnamed Dong raised his head and murmured.
Xu Qing said: "That's right, aren't you here to elect the leader of the Martial Forest? The leader of the Martial Forest in the entire Central Plains naturally has the power to handle affairs in Rivers and Lakes, such as mobilizing the power of Rivers and Lakes to punish the poisonous scorpions. "
Hearing this, the man surnamed Zhong couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, this friend of Caomin just wants to join a Rivers and Lakes sect in order to ask the sect to avenge his grievances, but those who claim to be decent The Rivers and Lakes sects are just bullies who are afraid of the hard-boiled. They dare not go forward when they hear that it is the Scorpion Sect. They are afraid that even if the leader of Martial Forest is elected among these Rivers and Lakes sects, they will not dare to oppose the Scorpion Sect. , it is always us Rivers and Lakes Rogue Cultivators who suffer."
The Tiejiamen and the Pijia Gang widened their eyes when they heard the man surnamed Zhong, glaring angrily, but they were still speechless, because what they stated was the truth...
Although the head of the poisonous scorpion sect on the side was not approached by the shadow guards, he did not dare to act rashly, because he could feel that there were more than one line of sight locked on him in the field, and one of them was majestic, and his martial arts were even more powerful. Far surpassed him, and more than one crossbow was aimed at him. The strength of the crossbow is not like that of a bow and arrow. If he is not careful, he will be pierced by thousands of arrows.
In any case, the Rivers and Lakes faction can't wrestle with the state apparatus.
The man surnamed Zhong turned his head and glanced at those members of the high-ranking faction, cupped fist and said: "Master Hou, since the Rivers and Lakes faction also has the virtue of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, coveting life and fearing death, why not become the leader of the Martial Forest! Other Central Plains comrades redress their grievances!"
Xu Qing said: "I am indeed here to fight for the leader of the Martial Forest, but at this time you already know my identity. I am the Marquis of the imperial court. There has always been a gap between the imperial court and Rivers and Lakes. Is your court eagle dog worthy to be your leader of the Martial Forest?"
The man surnamed Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "If Master Hou is not worthy, then there is no one in Rivers and Lakes!"
The man surnamed Dong next to the man surnamed Zhong also cupped fist and said: "Master Hou, the grass people were extremely disappointed and angry at the darkness of the government because the government united with a large family to embezzle the property of the grass people's family. In the Rivers and Lakes, but I don't want the Rivers and Lakes, which the grassroots thought to be happy and enmity, is still dark."
"Caomin thought they saw the darkness of the government, but they didn't realize that the darkness had already filled the whole world."
"Since the world is already full of darkness, the grass people are willing to follow Lord Hou in order to have a bright future!"
After the man surnamed Dong finished speaking, people all around Rivers and Lakes knelt down one after another: "I am willing to follow Lord Hou for a bright future!"
Xiao Ruxue was stunned when she saw this scene. She stared blankly at Xu Qing, only thinking about one thing in her mind, is Xu Qing going to become the leader of Martial Forest?
Does being the leader of the Martial Forest mean both civil and military skills?
Not far away, Liu Chongdu briefly looked away from the head of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, and looked at Xu Qing with surprise and admiration on his face. Could it be that this is the little junior brother's plan?
You don't need to conceal your identity, and you can get the approval of the entire Rivers and Lakes Martial Forest. It's really far-sighted!
The younger brother even pleaded with His Majesty to reduce or exempt the tax burden for the people of Fengzhou. Such an act of righteousness is not to mention the court of Chu State, even the court of Central Plains can't find a few people who are dedicated to the people, right?
It is truly a blessing for the state of Chu to have a junior brother in the state of Chu, and it is a blessing for the world!
Just... just lazy...
