I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 16 The Prestige of Confucianism and Taoism
In the dead of night and the moonlight, the entire city of Changsha fell into a deep sleep.

clap clap clap...

Outside a small courtyard on the western edge of the city, harsh knocking on the door woke up the whole block.

Li Changce, who was over [-] years old, went to bed early, and was awakened by the knock on the door. He couldn't help feeling a little angry, but he still got dressed and got up.

"Master, the man outside claims to be your student Zhang Zehan, and wants to see you."

Just after getting dressed, a servant came in to report.

"Zhang Zehan?"

"Why did he come to see me so late?"

Although he was puzzled, Li Changce walked to the outer hall and saw Zhang Zehan who was out of breath.

"Teacher, Lin Qian was taken away by Xuan Jing Division!"

……

"Boss, Xuan Jingsi is arrogant and domineering. It's fine to arrest people as soon as he arrives. Now even my younger brother has been arrested. He doesn't take us seriously at all."

"I'm just such a younger brother. If they dare to use torture, I will definitely fight them!"

After Lin Qian was taken away, Lin Zhen, who appeased Lin Xinyun, returned to the county government, found his immediate boss, and was still cooperating with the Xuanjing Division to arrest the head of the Changsha County Government, Hao Dazhuang.

"okay!"

"Don't follow me with this."

Hao Dazhuang glared at Lin Zhen, and then said, "As long as your brother is innocent, no one can do anything to him, just wait here for me."

As he said that, he couldn't help but look into the depths of the prison, his expression dark and uncertain.

Even in a world where Confucianism and Taoism are prosperous, it is difficult for the prisons in Changsha City to have clean windows.

The humid air makes people feel like they have entered the sticky tropical rainforest, and the occasional drops of sweat slide from your neck to your body like slippery tentacles.

The rotten smell of something, coupled with the smell of excrement, made Lin Qian temporarily lose his sense of smell in a short time.

The burning brazier in the torture room illuminated the entire space, and it was also very warm. Combined with the humid water vapor in the prison, it was really sour.

"Tell me, why do you write this kind of article to slander the court?"

"If you tell the truth, it will save you from suffering."

The leader of the Xuanjing Division who came to arrest him turned out to be the person in charge of the Xuanjing Division of Changsha Mansion this time, Tao Feipeng, the general banner of the Xuanjing Division!
At this time, he was playing with the red-hot soldering iron in the charcoal basin, and casually said to Lin Qian who was tied to the cross stake in front of him.

"I do not know what you're talking about?"

"You don't have evidence, so you can't punish me, I'm a scholar!"

Seeing the red-hot iron and the various instruments of torture hanging on the four walls of the torture room, especially the dark brown traces on some of the instruments of torture, just looking at them gives people a cold feeling and makes people shudder.

Lin Qian couldn't help thinking of the various tortures he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, and his scalp tingled.

Although life is hard in this life, he is really not sure whether he can withstand all kinds of torture.

Seeing the obvious fear in Lin Qian's eyes, Tao Feipeng was overjoyed. This mission might be easier than he imagined.

"Then I will remind you!"

"The author of the two articles "The World Is Too Narrow" and "The Immortal"."

Tao Feipeng walked up to Lin Qian with a red-hot soldering iron in his hand, and put the soldering iron in front of Lin Qian. The fiery breath penetrated his nose into his lungs, creating a feeling of fear, which made Lin Qian's heart beat wildly and his mouth dry. .

"Don't think about sophistry, the shopkeeper of Zuixianju has already admitted that you charge him 60 taels of silver, a deposit of 50 taels, and a final payment of [-] taels. You promote his Zuixianju in your article, right? ?”

"I do not know what you're talking about?"

From the beginning to the end, Lin Qian only had this sentence. Maybe the other party really got a lot of information from the shopkeeper of Zuixianju, otherwise he wouldn't have come to arrest him directly, but he firmly believed that the other party could not produce hard evidence.

He is now a little thankful for his caution.

"Humph!"

"I really don't cry without seeing the coffin."

"There is an old saying in Dagan that those who know the current affairs are the best. I think this wall full of instruments of torture will surely be able to pry your mouth open!"

Tao Feipeng's face turned serious, and with lightning speed, he stabbed Lin Qian's chest with the soldering iron.

"A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

In the blink of an eye, a clear voice came from outside the torture room.

This voice seemed to have a magical power, which made Tao Feipeng's hand holding the soldering iron unable to advance an inch, and hovered in the air less than an inch in front of Lin Qian's chest, as if an invisible force fell on his hand, making him unable to move. Inch.

At this time, a hale and hearty old man in a long gown and a melon cap walked into the torture room.

It was the lecturer of Taoli Academy, Lin Qian's teacher, Li Changce!

"Eight grades of Confucianism and Taoism, Confucianists who cultivate themselves!"

Tao Feipeng's pupils shrunk, Confucianism and Taoism nine grade enlightened, attracting talents to open the world's orifice, familiar with the sage's classics, turned it into his own use, with a glance and ten lines, never forgetting, can understand the truth of the world, perceive danger, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and protect himself wisely .

Confucianism and Taoism cultivate one's body, and heaven is healthy. A gentleman strives for self-improvement and nourishes the body with awe-inspiring righteousness. He is not weaker than a martial artist. What he cultivates is the body, but what he cultivates is the heart.Therefore, Confucians of the eighth grade can feel the hearts of others with their own hearts.

This was why his soldering iron failed to land on Lin Qian just now.

Tao Feipeng himself is an eighth-rank warrior, but this Daqian is a country where Confucianism and Taoism are prosperous. It has been many years since Martial Arts has not produced a warrior above third-rank, but Confucianism and Taoism have a group of semi-sages running all over the world, so they are both eighth-rank , but he dared not be rude.

Otherwise, Confucianism and Taoism were not good at fighting in the early stage, and they were also at the eighth rank. It was already the limit for the old man to stop him by surprise. If he insisted on using torture, the branding iron would have already fallen on Lin Qian by now.

"Secretary Xuan Jing is working, why did you stop him?"

If you can't suppress the opponent by martial arts, then you can only move out of the Xuanjing Division.

"I don't know what my student has committed? You need to use such a severe punishment?"

Li Changce's eyes were cold. For a scholar, being tortured by his parents is a great insult to a scholar.

"Sir, have you read the two articles "The World Is Too Narrow" and "The Immortal" on "Book Sea" today?"

"I've read it!" Li Changce nodded, but he didn't understand why he suddenly started talking about these two articles.

"These two articles are suspected of slandering the court and despising the Holy Majesty. We suspect that he has something to do with this person in front of us. I am under the order of Lord Baihu to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"It's about him?"

Li Changce was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing, sir?"

After laughing for a long time, Li Changce restrained himself a little, but still couldn't help asking with a smile on his face, "Do you have evidence?"

Tao Feipeng stated his speculation again.

"Nonsense!"

"It's absolutely impossible for these two articles to be related to Lin Qian."

After listening to Li Changce, he said firmly.

"Why are you so sure, sir?"

"Because he is my student!"

"I don't know his strength yet? He couldn't write those two articles, he doesn't have that ability!"

Lin Qian was a little dumbfounded. Although he was a little sad to find himself in such an image in the teacher's mind, it seemed to be a good thing for him.

"!!!"

Tao Feipeng was shocked, it was the first time he saw someone so confident because of his incompetence.

"Did I really guess wrong?"

He didn't suspect that Li Changce was lying. If it weren't for the facts, it would be hard to act out such an upright attitude.
