Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 47

Liu Yunmeng turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng, her watery eyes blinked.

"Perhaps it was the two prescriptions I sent to Baiyun Temple that attracted the attention of the Daoist." Ren Pingsheng told the truth.

"Pan recipe?" Liu Yunmeng's eyes lit up, and she was even more curious. She wanted to ask what kind of pill recipe could arouse Daoist's interest. Before she could speak, she was interrupted by Bai Youwei:
"Master likes to collect alchemy formulas and improve them on weekdays. The alchemy recipes sent by Ren Pingsheng may not be very useful, but they are quite innovative. It is normal for master to take a fancy to them."

Bai Youwei looked at Ren Pingsheng, and naturally changed the subject: "The people from Jinyiwei have already left, when will you follow me up the mountain?"

Ren Pingsheng glanced at Zhao Xue, seeing her preoccupied appearance, decided to ask what happened just now.

"Auntie, please wait a moment, I will leave after a few words with my servant."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Bai Youwei didn't want to involve too much karma, nodded slightly, and stopped in front of the door.

Ren Pingsheng saluted his aunt, and then returned to Ren Mansion with his guards.

Liu Yunmeng originally wanted to follow, but on second thought, the nephew's friend was the assassin who assassinated King Jin after all.

Although he had almost no contact with King Jin on weekdays, as a princess, it's best not to have too much contact with the assassin, so he stopped and chatted with Bai Youwei.

Fuzhong.

Screen back the guard.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the ordinary Zhao Xue after the disguise, and asked doubts in his heart: "Did Cui Yu transmit the sound just now?"

"En." Zhao Xue nodded lightly.

"What did he say?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.

"Let me stay in the capital and forget the past." Zhao Xue replied.

"Including the assassination of King Jin?"

"Including the assassination of King Jin."

Ren Pingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this.

Although Cui Yu had already had a similar speculation when he transmitted the sound to him, but it was still incredible to be confirmed. After all, King Jin is the emperor's own flesh and blood.

"Besides, he also told me that in a few days, the imperial court will set up a new yamen called the Zhenmagic Division. I will be the first batch of servants in the Zhenmagic Division, and I will handle five cases within a year. , I will be able to leave, if not, I will have to stay in the capital for three years."

Zhao Xue's eyes are full of confusion about the future:
"He said it was the emperor's will."

Town Magic Division?
In this world, there are demons, barbarians, Gus, Buddhas, and it is rumored that there are immortals and gods, but no demons have been heard.

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly, and guessed: "The so-called Zhenmagic Division, may it refer to evil cultivators, such as murderers and madmen?"

"Maybe."

Zhao Xue sighed, and said leisurely: "In recent years, chaos has been rampant in the rivers and lakes, demons are rampant, and the local government is unable to deal with it. As a result, they have caused disasters and disturbed the peace of the people. Now that the imperial court has set up a magic suppression department, it may not be a bad thing."

Ren Pingsheng sensed worries and worries from her words, and said bluntly: "Nvxia Zhao doesn't seem to want the imperial court to set up a town magician?"

"really."

"Why?"

"Because before this, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes were clearly separated, even if there were demons that harmed the people, the local government's Confucian scholars and catchers were short of manpower, most of them were solved by the Jianghu knight-errants, and the government rewarded them.

Nowadays, it is okay for the imperial court to set up a magic department, but if the scale is too large, people from the Jianghu must be recruited. In this way, there is no need for many Jianghu forces to exist. "

Ren Pingsheng said: "What's wrong with that?"

In his perception, the emergence of rivers and lakes is essentially due to the imperfect establishment of local government, loose organization, lack of combat power, and inability to form effective governance, resulting in a vacuum of grassroots rights.

If the ruling power of the imperial court is weak in the local area, sects and aristocratic families will appear in the local area, relying on their influence to gather idle forces and assist the government in management.

The so-called knights of the rivers and lakes, except for some casual cultivators, most of them come from these rivers and lakes forces.

Being chivalrous and righteous, eliminating violence and keeping the good, sounds good, but in fact it doesn't do much.

Most of them rely on strength, exploit the common people, run amok in the countryside, or fight each other and compete for interests.

They are not corrupt officials, but the degree of harm is almost the same.

Now that the imperial court has set up the Department of Magic Suppression and personally ended it, it shows that the imperial court's ruling power among the people has been relatively sound and can be extended downwards, which is actually not a bad thing for the lower class people.

Anyway, being exploited is the same, at least there is no need to worry about being affected by the Jianghu struggle.

Zhao Xue obviously understood the reason, and replied: "It's nothing wrong."

"Then what are Zhao women's concerns? The fact that Jiang Hu's forces were replaced by the Zhenmagic Division does not mean that Jiang Hu will die. Should you travel or travel? Should you be a hero or a hero?"

Before finishing speaking, Zhao Xue interrupted: "I'm worried about my father."

"?" Ren Pingsheng was taken aback for a moment, chatting about Town Magic, Jianghu, why did he get involved with her father?

Zhao Xue sighed, and said leisurely: "My father is the most powerful force in Jianghu. The reason why I am worried about being the leader of the Wulin League is because I worry that the imperial court will set up a department to suppress magic. Especially the Wulin League, which can threaten the rule of the imperial court."

The Martial Arts League is the largest force in Jianghu. There are more than a dozen sects under it. Although they are not affiliated with each other, they all obey the orders of the leader. The organization is not loose, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

And the martial arts leader himself is one of the five extraordinary martial arts masters, and he is of the third rank just like Ren Pingsheng's father.

"It turned out to be the daughter of the leader of the martial arts, and she really has a deep background."

Ren Pingsheng had guessed Zhao Xue's identity for a long time, and he was not surprised at the moment, but just a little curious: "You, the daughter of a martial arts lord, why did you go all the way to the capital to assassinate King Jin, just because he has no conscience and commits all kinds of evil?"

I asked this question before, and Zhao Xue's answer was ambiguous, giving people the impression that she lacked motivation, so for quite a long time, Ren Pingsheng regarded her as a silly girl with no background, force but no brains.

Zhao Xue opened her mouth, wanting to answer, but remembered that the person in Baiyun Temple was still waiting outside, and said: "You should meet the Taoist priest first, and I will explain the reason to you when I come back."

"You don't have a tight mouth, why are you willing to tell me now?" Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Before walking in the rivers and lakes, my father told me that no one can be trusted, so no matter who asks a question, I just prevaricate it casually, so as not to cause trouble.

You saved me, I didn't want to lie to you, so I kept silent. "

"It's quite principled."

Ren Pingsheng asked again: "Why are you willing to tell me now? Is it just prevarication?"

Zhao Xue looked at Ren Pingsheng with clear eyes, with a touch of softness in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Although I haven't experienced too many sinister and intrigues, I can still distinguish right from wrong. If you treat me with sincerity, I will treat you with sincerity. That's all."
