Chapter 225 Turmoil
The three people in the hall of the provincial government were quietly waiting for the next words from the governor who took the seat.

In addition to Jiang Changping and Dong Wanjun, Taoist Cangsong of the Tianxuan School was also among them.

The Tianxuan Sect was entrusted by the Grand Tutor to provide assistance to the northern states, so Du Qinghui would certainly not miss this opportunity to help.

Before becoming a Jiedushi, Du Qinghui was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, a second-rank official.

However, the Censorate is still inferior to the six ministries in terms of official career, because it has to do jobs that offend people.

Who would have thought that Emperor Xuanyang relied heavily on Du Yushi and supported Du Qinghui to take the position of Jiedushi despite the dissuasion of several ministers.

Although the Jiedushi was a local official, the power he held was much greater than that of the Censorate, and even not less than that of the six ministers.

Du Qinghui spoke slowly: "Now that Xuanyang has encountered a great change, the forces in Lingzhou must be grateful for the grace of the emperor and work together to defend the territory of Xuanyang."

Taoist Cangsong, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally raised his eyebrows and glanced at the powerful governor.

Du Qinghui's words just now can be translated as, those forces that planned to gain benefits in Lingzhou should now bleed.

Jiang Changping agreed with great awareness: "Master Du is right."

Jiang Changping is aloof, but it would be foolish to remain arrogant in front of his immediate superior.

As a veteran in officialdom, he knew the ins and outs very well. Now that Du Qinghui had just arrived in Lingzhou, it was a good time to show his loyalty.

This Lord Du is a favorite of His Majesty the Emperor. With just a little recommendation, he might be transferred to Kyoto and become an official.

Although local officials have more benefits, it is easier to become a high-ranking official in places close to the imperial palace.

Of course, the prerequisite is strong strength.

Dong Wanjun: “Let’s do it right away.”

Du Qinghui waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Dong Wanjun and the other two stood up, bowed to Du Qinghui, and then slowly retreated.

The three of them crossed the threshold.

Taoist Cangsong glanced at Dong Wanjun calmly.

Since that night, he never saw Dong Wanjun again, and he was still wary when they met again.

He had heard the rumors about Dong Wanjun in Beiyuan.

Anyone who is admired by those barbarians who worship the use of force must be a ruthless character. He felt that it was extremely wise for him to retreat that night.

At this time, Jiang Changping also looked at Dong Wanjun: "Master Dong, this matter may not be easy."

The new forces in Lingzhou are all extremely powerful. Even if Du Qinghui gave the order, he didn't want to offend them all at once.

After all, he was born in the Jiang family and he always had to think about his descendants.

Dong Wanjun had a blank expression on his face: "Just beat him until he obeys."

"."

The corner of Jiang Changping's mouth twitched.

Only Dong Wanjun could say such reckless words, he admits he is not capable of that.

Being an official requires tact. Of course, this does not mean being servile all the time, but it requires knowing who can be bullied and who cannot be bullied.

It wouldn't matter if he offended one or two of the forces in Lingzhou.

But if he offended them all, even the kindness of his father, the old minister, would not be able to guarantee the peace of the Jiang family in the future.

Therefore, very few officials are willing to be lone ministers.

Jiang Changping was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Master Dong, if you come to help me this time, I will owe you a favor, how about that?"

It was really inconvenient for him to do anything about what Du Qinghui said today.

To be fair, compared with the generals and prefects of other states, his relationship with Dong Wanjun was pretty good.

However, due to the Emperor's spies, the two could not get too close.

Dong Wanjun walked away: "It's up to you."

Compared to Jiang Changping, he has far more bachelors.

It’s not that he has no concerns, but the Shenfu Sect is far inferior to the Jiang Family.

The problem that Jiang Changping was worried about, which would affect his descendants' chances of becoming officials, did not exist at all in Shenfu Gate, so he could naturally act with confidence.

As for Jiang Changping's favor, I naturally have to accept it.

The higher the official position one climbs, the more afraid one is of owing favors, because the cost of each favor is much greater than gold and silver.

A prefect's favor is indeed valuable.

A shocking storm broke out in Lingzhou.

Following the order from Shuofang Jiedushi Du Qinghui, all forces stationed in Lingzhou were required to send personnel to help guard the official road for transporting grain.

Naturally, many people were unwilling at first.

After all, the power behind them is enormous, and the relationships in the Xuanyang court are complicated. Even Du Qinghui would have a headache dealing with them, so they are naturally fearless.

But no one expected that Lingzhou General Dong Wanjun would go door to door to greet everyone and force those forces to submit.

These forces would certainly not give up after being beaten, and for a while, memorials impeaching Dong Wanjun fell on the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

However, this time the emperor changed his usual habit of accepting criticism and only said: "Without Du Qinghui, the Censorate has lost some of its rules."

These words frightened the young censors in the Censorate so much that they dared not make any impeachment statements anymore, and they lived in fear for a long time.

His Majesty the Emperor made his final decision and the matter came to an end.

The attacks on the forces in Lingzhou were in vain.

Many people were trying to guess the emperor's intentions through this incident and felt that Dong Wanjun was a good talent.

Although it is difficult to reach a high position under the emperor with such a stain, it is just right to become a knife to kill people.

I guess His Majesty the Emperor had the same idea.

If Dong Wanjun knew some ways to please the emperor like Du Qinghui, he might be able to follow Du Qinghui's path and become a censor of the Censorate.

All of a sudden, many people tried to win over Old Man Dong.

Of course, there are also many people who feel resentful.

These forces are not from Xu Dingchun's faction, so of course they want revenge.

Although the forces beaten by Old Man Dong did not dare to take action against Old Man Dong because of the imperial decree, they could deal with the Shenfu Sect in secret.

A turbulent undercurrent has quietly approached Huanglong Mansion. "The affairs of the martial arts world are, of course, the affairs of the martial arts world."

An old man with a goatee had fierce eyes.

This person is the elder of Cangyang Sect and the first force to be beaten by Old Man Dong.

Because of this, the Cangyang Sect was the one that suffered the most shame.

The old man with the goat beard was punished by the Cangyang Sect for this, so of course he held a grudge.

If you can’t deal with Dong Wanjun, can’t you deal with a small Shenfu Sect?

And as far as he knew, in addition to the Cangyang Sect, there were no less than ten forces that wanted to deal with the Shenfu Sect.

How to be considered as a Jianghu?

Of course, it’s a door-to-door challenge.

"Master, disciples of Taibai Peak have been challenged by strange martial arts masters one after another."

Liu Donghai of Taibai Peak said in a deep voice.

In fact, it is not just Taibai Peak. In recent times, disciples from the thirteen peaks of Shenfu Sect have been challenged by strange strong men one after another.

As a major sect in the martial arts world, Shenfu Sect certainly had no reason to refuse an open challenge.

But without exception, they were all defeated.

Many disciples even had their wrists cut off.

Although there is a miraculous doctor in Shenfumen who can reattach the severed hand, it will definitely affect the future of martial arts.

This kind of situation was common in the martial arts world, but there have been hundreds of challenges in recent times. It is obvious that someone is deliberately targeting the Shenfu Sect.

Even a true disciple was seriously injured.

Bai Yuan groaned.

In fact, before Liu Donghai came, the masters of several peaks had already come to see him.

Of course he knew who did it.

The news from Old Man Dong had already reached Huanglong Mansion a long time ago. It was very common for a master to beat someone and the disciple to suffer.

However, Bai Yuan thought this was a good opportunity for training.

Disciples who can withstand the training from external forces will surely stand out and become the pillars of the sect.

Now everything is still within the scope of the rules of the underworld, so of course there is no need for him to intervene.

You can't just retreat back into the Divine Palace after receiving the challenge, right?
If this is the case, then there is no need for the Shenfu Gate to exist.

Which major clan was not formed through fighting in the martial arts world?
After all, the Shenfu Sect has lived in Huanglongfu for a long time and has long forgotten the tragic events when it was first established.

Kindness is inappropriate in commanding an army, and the same is true for commanding a sect. Being soft-hearted will only turn the disciples of the Shenfu Sect into useless people.

Which strong man did not emerge from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

"Dong Wanjun, the humiliation suffered by my Cangyang Sect must be repaid doubly by your Shenfu Sect."

The goat-bearded old man from Cangyang Sect showed a cruel smile.

During this period, too many disciples of the Shenfu Sect were seriously injured.

The Shenfu Sect’s reputation was completely lost.

Now all the sects in Lingzhou are laughing at the Shenfu Sect.

"How about we add some more explosive material?"

Another old woman spoke in a hoarse voice.

This old woman is the elder of the Feng family in Qingzhou, and the Feng family is on the list of people beaten up by old man Dong.

The person who was beaten was this old woman.

This old woman is a vengeful person on a daily basis. How could she endure such a great humiliation?
This time, the Feng family contributed the most to the fight against the strong men from the Shenfu Sect.

The old man with a goatee: "How?"

The old woman's eyes flashed with ferocity: "What's the point of crippling some disciples? Beat up a few peak masters and let them know what pain is."

"Makes sense."

The old man with a goatee had shining eyes.

Those disciples only caused Shenfu Sect to lose face, but were far from being seriously injured.

But the situation is very different for the several leaders of Shenfu Sect. They are the pillars of Shenfu Sect, and if one of them is injured, Dong Wanjun will feel sad for a long time.

"Too deceiving!"

Ouyang Hua's eyes were spitting fire.

Yesterday, Yunxiao Peak's leader Situ Liuyun was beaten severely in Huanglong City and is still lying in the house.

If it weren't for Bai Yuan's superb medical skills, he might have been left with hidden injuries and would have been unable to make any further progress.

They could still tolerate beating some disciples, but how could they tolerate beating the peak master?
Except for Ouyang Hua, all other peak masters were in the headmaster's hall.

They were all waiting for Bai Yuan's decision.

Of course they also knew about Dong Wanjun's affairs, and the forces that were trying to deal with Shenfumen had bigger backgrounds than each other.

This is why, although they are angry in their hearts, they have not taken much action.

The Shenfu Sect is not even the top force in Huanglong Prefecture now, let alone in Lingzhou.

The wisest thing to do, of course, is to swallow your anger.

As long as we wait for those people's anger to subside, everything will be over.

But they just feel suffocated.

What a powerful existence the Shenfu Gate was in the past.

In the eyes of all the peak masters——

Bai Yuan: "How do you fight back? Just fight back."

"."

After hearing Bai Yuan's words, all the peak masters looked at each other in bewilderment.
