Chapter 190 Ask the Sheriff to Break the Engagement (4,200 Words)
Guo Xiang was a little taken aback.
Daoist Qing Hui wants to take himself to divorce?
To be honest, she also had such thoughts before, and even made a decision when she left Xiaohanshan Temple, but she really wanted to do this, but she felt uneasy.
"You... want to take me to divorce?"
Guo Xiang repeated in disbelief.
"Yeah, since you don't want to, then go and retire the engagement. Now that you are a disciple of my Spirit Pivot Temple, how can I let you suffer this kind of grievance, and you should retire as soon as you retire."
Zhang Ming said as if he didn't care.
Guo Xiang subconsciously stopped and looked at the straight back in front of her. Suddenly, she felt that the back of the blue robe in front of her was very tall, as if supporting the world.
What holds up is her world.
"Daoist Qinghui, thank you..."
She murmured, now Taoist Master Qinghui is taking her to do something that her father and she have never dared to do.
Zhang Ming held a big black umbrella and looked into the distance.
"Actually, Pindao is not entirely for you, but to express an attitude to the world."
He thought for a while, and then explained, "Nowadays, the Jin Dynasty is undercurrents and the situation is changing. Many people are secretly playing chess, fishing, and even using the poor as bait."
"I flattened Xiaohanshan Temple, offended Xuankong Temple, and proved that the poor are not Buddhists. In fact, the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism is the general trend of the world, and this is impossible."
"But Pindao killed the Ziyang old Taoist of Taiyi Immortal Sect again, which shows that Pindao is not a member of the Three Sects."
"Yesterday, Pindao burned Zhaoming Academy. Well... everyone in the world thought I burned it down, and forced the quasi-sage Meng Xueyuan to die. This means that Pindao does not belong to the Confucian lineage."
Having said that, he paused slightly.
Guo Xiang was clever, and asked immediately: "Master Taoist, are you taking the Lingshu Temple out of the disputes in the world? No, not only that, but also to show your position!"
In the words of Daoist Qing Hui, she saw the general trend of the world, and all kinds of forces were all deployed.
"good."
Zhang Ming continued, "Actually, Meng Xueyuan and the Confucian school are doing the same thing, withdrawing from the world's disputes, hiding behind the scenes, and watching the tigers fight from the mountain."
[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Mimi Reading, install the latest version. 】
"Pindao doesn't belong to the Demon Sect, doesn't belong to Buddhism, doesn't belong to the Three Sects, and doesn't belong to Confucianism, and now...Pindao is only the last one left to express its position!"
It turned out that he traveled all the way, entered the county town of Dongling County, and suppressed the aristocratic family and Confucianism, he had planned for a long time.
All the forces in the world are standing in line, and now there is one last place left, but he didn't say it directly.
Guo Xiang's expression changed, and he asked, "The imperial court?"
Zhang Ming turned to look at her, nodded approvingly, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's the Great Jin Dynasty, the current empress! In the past, the poor Taoist couldn't see clearly, so Qingquan was conferred the title of Heavenly Master, but now... ..."
"Pindao has seen it clearly, and he has to choose a position. After the battle of Nanling City and the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, the world thinks that Pindao is the empress of today."
"However, Pindao is not. Therefore, now Pindao needs to show an attitude to the world!"
Both Guo Xiang and Lu Xueqing understood. Unexpectedly, Daoist Qing Hui already had thousands of gaps in his heart. He not only saw the general trend of the world clearly, but also had a strategy to deal with it.
"What attitude are you guys talking about?"
Yin Xue asked in confusion.
"Stupid, of course it's to offend the prefect's office. Use the most loyal county of the empress today to show the world that Lingshu Temple is not a pawn of the Jin Dynasty, let alone bait!"
Guo Xiang poked her and teased her.
Zhang Ming stepped forward and said, "That's right, Lingshu Temple does not stand in line, does not target, does not represent anyone, but only represents Lingshu Temple itself, and no one can influence it!"
There was a coldness in his tone.
The so-called my way is only me, the sky cannot be changed, the earth cannot be changed, all causes are not added to the body, and all dharmas come from the heart!
The same should be true for the Spiritual Pivot View!
...
In the pharmacy on Long Street.
"Lingshu watched Qing Hui and went to the prefect's mansion,
It seems that our guess is right, he is the bait thrown by the current empress, stirring up the world and picking chestnuts out of the fire. "
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy quickly wrote a line of information on the table, but it was not sent out immediately, but was temporarily stored.
Everything still has to wait for the results of the Sheriff's Office to come out.
He is the eyeliner of Yao Wangzong, one of the three sects. Now that the world is in chaos, it is also an opportunity for them. What's more, the three sects have always been connected with each other, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged.
The same scene appears in many places.
One by one, the spies recorded, handed out, or temporarily stored the message. Some of them come from the Three Schools, some from aristocratic families, some from Confucianism, and so on.
They all knew that Lingshu Guan Qinghui's visit to the prefect's mansion this time might not be as grand as Nanling City, Xiaohanshan Temple, Four Sacred Mountains or Zhaoming Academy.
But the significance is definitely greater than all of them.
This is an opportunity for the world to see the situation clearly when the undercurrent is surging, and it will also be a turning point of the chess game.
In any case, Lingshu's trip to the sheriff's mansion to observe Qing Hui once again touched the hearts of the world's forces.
...
Jicheng, the county guard's mansion.
"Lord Sheriff, the Lingshu Guanqing Emblem has arrived!"
A servant stepped into the hall and reported.
Qi Zhengye raised his head and asked, "Did the concierge tell him that the county guard is handling business?"
The servant responded respectfully: "I told you, I have asked Lingshu Guanqinghui to wait in front of the door."
"How did he react?"
Qi Zhengye asked while holding a teacup.
The servant shook his head and said, "There was no response, I just closed the umbrella, saying that such a snowy scene is hard to see."
Qi Zhengye nodded and felt relieved: "When Dou Jun and Han Xingyuan arrive, invite him into the hall."
The servant was ordered to retreat.
After a while, Dou Jun in black armor led a group of people and entered the Sheriff's Mansion through a side door.
"Master Sheriff!"
Dou Jun cupped his hands and said.
"General Dou, you came just in time! The life of the county guard is tied to you today!" Qi Zhengye said with joy, "General Dou, please sit down quickly, and we will meet with the Lingshu Temple later. Qing Hui!"
Dou Jun waved his hand, and a group of black armor soldiers behind him scattered into the left and right courtyards. Some people hid in the dark with their knives;
"Be careful, there is no big mistake, Lord Governor, it is the duty of the general to protect Dongling County, so you don't have to be polite."
Only then did Dou Jun smile, and stepped forward to take a seat.
After a while, Han Xingyuan also arrived in front of the hall. He looked a little ugly, and asked: "Master County Guard, this Lingshu Guan Qing Hui has made a lot of contributions to the Jin Dynasty, so he should not turn his face into an enemy. Why do you have to make such a big battle?" battle?"
He was a little dissatisfied with Qi Zhengye's arrangement.
"This person is arrogant and domineering. He even dared to burn Zhaoming Academy and slaughter the Wang family. He didn't have the slightest bit of Jin law in his eyes. How could he not guard against it?"
Magistrate Qi explained with a smile on his face.
After all, Han Xingyuan represented Jiantianyuan and belonged to the Great Jin Dynasty, so he could only sit down in the hall resentfully. If anything happened, he would still help Qi Zhengye.
Seeing that everything was ready, Qi Zhengye smiled slightly, and ordered: "Chuan Lingshu observes the Qing emblem!"
A servant walked towards the gate of the government office.
The heads of the Shen, Liu, Su, and Fang families went to the side hall, waiting for Qi Zhengye's mediation results.
"Daoist Qing Hui, the governor of the county welcomes you!"
The servant came to the door and preached.
Only then did Zhang Ming raise his head and smiled: "Is the Sheriff finished? But, the snow is not enough for Pingdao, please let the Sheriff wait for a while."
The servant choked.
What kind of person is this, dare to let the county guard wait, it is really audacious!
"This...isn't that good?"
He faltered and said.
Zhang Ming waved his hand and said impatiently: "What's not so good, the poor Taoist waited for Qi Zhengye to be able to wait, now let the poor Taoist wait for a while, what's the problem?"
The servant widened his eyes and wanted to say more.
Yin Xue suddenly grabbed his collar by the back, threw it into the yard, and said, "Daoist Qing Hui doesn't like being disturbed when he is watching Xue, so get out of here."
The servant fell and ate shit, his face was ugly.
He works in the county guard's mansion, and no one dares to provoke him when he is not decent. Even if the children of those aristocratic families visit occasionally, they still provide tips.
Now, to eat such a big choke!
"Hmph, wait for me! I'll report to the Magistrate of Ming Dynasty to punish you!" He muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart, and hurried towards the government office.
"boom!"
Hearing the servant's report, Qi Zhengye's face turned livid, and he dropped the teacup heavily.
"What a coffin to watch the Qing emblem! He even dares to brush off the face of the county guard! Appreciating the snow? I'm bah!"
He cursed angrily, but Qing Huilai was at the door, and they couldn't beat him, how could he please?
"Your Majesty, it may be that Taoist Master Qing Hui got impatient with the wait, so he acted a little less tempered."
Han Xingyuan stood up as a peacemaker and said, "Why don't Mr. Han go over and make a move?"
Qi Zhengye had no choice but to take the Qing emblem. Seeing that Han Xingyuan was willing to stand up, he immediately said: "Okay! If Han Xingyuan comes forward and he doesn't listen, then the county guard doesn't have to pay attention to him anymore, and he will directly report to the court, Your Majesty, please make the decision! "
"Even if His Majesty doesn't make a decree for a moment, the county guard will definitely issue decrees at all levels to sanction their coffin temples, and take back the fief, making it difficult for them to move a single step!"
He had never been blocked like this before, so he immediately made up his mind that if Qing Hui didn't know what to do again, he would use the court decree to let him know who Dongling County should listen to.
Han Xingyuan said: "The Qing Hui Daoist knows the book and reason, this is not likely to happen. Please wait a moment, the governor."
Then, he cupped his hands and left the main hall.
However, before he could reach the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, he heard a crashing sound coming from the front.
"Huh? What happened!"
He quickly got up and rushed to the door.
I saw the originally majestic and majestic gate of the government office collapsed into ruins at this time.
The porter and guards stood aside dumbfounded, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Daoist Qing Hui was standing in front of the ruins, unhurriedly holding up a big black umbrella to block the flying snow.
Han Xingyuan was a little confused: "Master Qing Hui, you... what are you doing?"
"It turned out to be the inspector of Han."
Seeing him coming, Zhang Ming finally smiled and said, "Thank you for what happened last time. As for this gate... Oh yes, the three great families of Liu, Shen, and Su in the county town came to me yesterday, saying that they wanted to make an apology and donate money to repair the spirit. pivot."
"Pindao thought that Zhuoguang Mountain was thousands of miles away, and the incense was scarce, so there was no need to repair it. So I discussed with them and changed it to repair the county guard's mansion."
"When I was looking at the snow just now, I saw that the door was old and blocked the falling snow, so I couldn't hold it back for a while, and helped the sheriff to dismantle it and rebuild it. It's okay, it's all a poor job, and the sheriff doesn't need to thank you I."
These words were well-founded, making the corners of Han Xingyuan's mouth twitch, not knowing how to refute.
The concierge and guards next to him were even more frightened and dared not speak.
I'm afraid something big will happen to Dongling County!
For many years, they haven't seen anyone dare to tear down the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion!
Han Xingyuan put aside his intention to persuade, and had no choice but to say: "Daoist Qing Hui, the governor is here to invite you."
Zhang Ming suddenly realized: "It's all because of the poor Taoist obsessed with the snow scene, he forgot the time for a while, and asked the inspector to lead the way!"
The two looked at each other knowingly.
Han Xingyuan stopped talking nonsense and led him to the inner palace.
He knew in his heart that the relationship between Lingshu Temple and the Sheriff's Mansion might not be good today.
A group of people walked through the inner courtyard and entered the main hall.
Zhang Ming caught sight of the fat middle-aged man sitting in the middle, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Lingshu is watching the Qing emblem, and I've seen the governor!"
Qi Zhengye was very unhappy, and asked with a cold expression: "Qing Hui, I heard that you demolished the gate of this county guard?"
Zhang Ming smiled slightly, and replied: "Just now, Pindao has already explained to Inspector Han."
"Pindao is kind enough to help the governor to tear down the door so that people from the three major families in the county can rebuild it."
"Now the governor is wrong. How can he be indiscriminate and wronged the poor. If Dongling County is governed like this, it may not be a good thing!"
The words Qi Zhengye just wanted to reprimand were blocked by his unreasonable reasoning.
Three great families? Repair?
I bother!
However, he could not find a reason to refute.
Qi Zhengye thought for a while, then restarted the topic and asked, "Qing Hui, let's leave the matter of the door for now. I don't know why you came to visit today?"
Qi Zhengye is not a fool if he can achieve the position of sheriff.
According to the plan, he originally planned to send an order to summon Lingshu to watch Qinghui, but now the other party turned his back on the guest and came to the door on his own initiative, probably something strange happened.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have anything to do. Pindao came to the door today, and I really have something to discuss."
Zhang Ming said straight to the point, "This is Miss Guo Xiang, she must be familiar with the governor."
"She is the daughter of the city lord of Nanling City, and she has been worshiped under the Taiyin Peak of my Lingshu Guan."
"To be honest, I came here just for the marriage between Miss Guo Xiang and Young Master Ling!"
Qi Zhengye's complexion changed slightly, and Qing Hui came here for the marriage of the two families.
He is naturally familiar with Guo Xiang's name.
Moreover, since his youngest son Qi Ling came back from Xiaohanshan Temple, he had repeatedly talked to him about the beauty of the other party, and he was obviously very fond of it.
Now, is something going to happen?
But the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker!
Then Guo Liqing didn't say anything, so could this Spiritual Pivot Guan Qinghui have any opinions!
"Oh, Daoist Qing Hui, I don't know what the marriage between my Qi family and Guo family has to do with you?"
Qi Zhengye asked calmly while holding a teacup.
He hasn't invited Daoist Qing Hui to sit down so far, obviously out of intention to humiliate and suppress him.
The words are already facing each other.
Zhang Ming didn't seem to be aware of it, and smiled slightly: "Lord Sheriff, I don't have any other intentions, I just think... this marriage is not suitable."
"Miss Guo Xiang is devoted to cultivation and has no intention of caring about her children's personal feelings for the time being. Therefore, Pindao has the courage to ask the county magistrate to dissolve this engagement."
"Crack!"
Qi Zhengye's hand tightened, and the blue and white porcelain cup in his palm suddenly turned into a cloud of powder.
In the hall, it became extremely silent.
