I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Take Prefect Liang for example. As the prefect of Jinzhou County, he was not able to enjoy much national fortune, which could only be said to be at an average level. But even so, it was more than three times the speed of his own cultivation.

When the Zeng family found him, they promised that if this matter was accomplished, they would find a way to transfer him to the Imperial Capital and raise his official rank. Although it was only a small promotion, it could at least shorten his hard training time by more than ten years. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Prefect Liang.

Prefect Liang was already seventy-five years old, but as a sixth-rank scholar with a long life span, he did not look old at all, and looked no more than forty or fifty. However, despite his appearance, he was filled with resentment and anxiety.

Since he was promoted to the sixth rank fifteen years ago, he has been practicing diligently, working harder than others every day. However, due to his limited talent, his progress is slow, like a frog in boiling water, with no improvement.

Seeing his colleagues and friends, who were originally lower in rank than him, being promoted one after another, his mentality gradually collapsed. This sense of disparity made him feel extremely stressed and frustrated.

So when the Zeng family made this tempting promise, he agreed without hesitation. After all, such an opportunity was too rare. If he could succeed, not only would he be able to improve his status, but he would also save a lot of time in cultivation and establish a relationship with the Zeng family.

For Prefect Liang, this was a rare opportunity and also the key for him to get out of trouble and achieve a breakthrough.

No matter how desperate and anxious he was, as Gu Yunzhou finished speaking, the illusory figure in the sky had already spoken. The voice came from all directions. Although the tone was not loud, everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Since that's the case, then open your heart and examine your conscience. Right and wrong, justice and truth, will be clear to you!"

As Ou Sheng's shadowy words fell, a suffocating, terrifying force spread out in all directions like a tide. At the same time, a ruler gleaming with a green light streaked down from the distant sky.

"Oh my god, it's the legendary ruler of the heart!"

"Isn't this the Heart-Rectifying Ruler preserved in the Book Mountain Holy Land? Saint Ou is truly Saint Ou. With just a wave of his hand, he summoned this treasure of the human race!"

Countless people looked up, their faces filled with astonishment, staring intently at the scene before them. They could brag about what happened today for the rest of their lives.

What, you haven’t seen Saint Ou? Tsk tsk, I have seen him with my own eyes!

Yes, I also saw the legendary ruler of uprightness that is kept in the holy land of Shushan!

I believe this scene will be played out in many people’s homes in the future. No wonder they are making a fuss about it. Such a lively scene is rare to see in a century!

"Saint Ou, I implore the person involved, Gu Tianhua, to confront me in person, as well as Gu Tianqiao and Prefect Liang who falsely accused me. One of them slandered and destroyed my reputation, and the other, as the prefect of a continent in Beichen Kingdom, not only did not make any inquiries or verify the facts, but instead believed the words of one person and directly locked me up in the jail without any evidence. I am dissatisfied. I implore Saint to let them correct their consciences with me!" Gu Yunzhou had been holding back for a long time. Since the fight was already going on, he might as well be direct. Today, it was either you or me. This was a matter of life and death.

"No, I don't want it. I was misled. It has nothing to do with me!" Gu Tianqiao shouted in fear in the crowd, and kept backing away. He no longer had the high spirits of yesterday. His whole body was shaking like a sieve, and he was shouting wildly with a cowardly look.

His face was as pale as paper, his eyes filled with fear and despair. He knew he was in a desperate situation and could not escape the judgment of the heart.

He regretted it endlessly. He regretted why he had framed Gu Yunzhou, why he had followed his father's instructions and cleaned up the mess for his good-for-nothing brother. Now, he could only pray to God for help, hoping to escape.

"Gu...Gu Yunzhou, what happened yesterday was my dereliction of duty. I apologize to you and promise to seriously investigate the truth!" The corners of Magistrate Liang's mouth twitched as he tried to force a smile, but under extreme fear, his facial muscles became stiff and his smile looked very distorted.

"It's too late. I just believe that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet!" Gu Yunzhou had no reaction to the two people's pleas for mercy. He looked firmly at the shadow of Ou Sheng in the sky, his eyes full of determination.

"What a great saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come yet! Gu Yunzhou is indeed a great talent. A few words he says can make people think deeply!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in admiration.

"This sentence is so well said. It is easy to understand and can guide people to do good. It is worth raising a toast to celebrate!" another person echoed.

"A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Gu Yunzhou does have real talent behind his fame!" More people began to talk and expressed their admiration for Gu Yunzhou.

When these words of praise reached the ears of Governor Liang and Gu Tianqiao, they seemed to become a death warrant, making them feel even more desperate.

"I ask for permission to open the Ruler of Righteous Heart. The Ruler of Righteous Heart is used to correct one's original heart. No false words are spoken, only true words are spoken. Open it!" Saint Ou's illusory face showed no joy or sorrow. As his vague words fell, the Ruler of Righteous Heart, which was spinning in the air, violently burst out with a faint green light. Several beams of light shot towards Gu Yunzhou, Gu Tianqiao and Prefect Liang respectively. At the same time, a figure that screamed in fear and fell rapidly from the sky was also enveloped by the light and stopped in mid-air.

"Little brother!" Gu Tianqiao, who was originally in despair, widened his eyes when he saw the young man who suddenly appeared, and the despair in his eyes became even stronger.

"Brother, where is this? What's going on?" Gu Tianhua, feeling dizzy, finally managed to stand steady in the light curtain. When he looked up, he saw his elder brother who was far away in Jinzhou County. He rubbed his eyes, looked around, and found Gu Yunzhou. His expression immediately turned fierce. "Untouchable, you are not dead yet!"

This was a completely unconscious reaction, but as soon as he said it, he realized he had made a grave mistake. Countless eyes turned to him at his outburst, sending a chill down his spine. Only then did he realize where he was and what had just happened, as if waking from a dream.

Gu Tianqiao nearly fainted from anger at his brother's roar. This idiot, did he really think this was still the Gu Mansion in Liuyun Town, where he could do whatever he wanted? And now, in full view of everyone, he's losing his composure like this. He's simply courting death. You think your life's too long and you've had enough, right? If you've had enough, don't drag me down with you!
