I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 305 Disappearing Hatred

On the way back, Xu Yongding hesitated again and again, and finally said to Liu Qi: "Fang Fu, Dad didn't think there was anything wrong just now. The reason why Mr. Liao spoke with sarcasm was because he originally planned to give the position of Tui Guan to his brother-in-law!"

Xu Yongding learned about this from the prefect Chen Xingwen. It was said that Liao Lei had already given away the silver for this matter, but with a piece of paper written by Sun Jiyun, all of Liao Lei's running around for half a year and a large sum of silver went down the drain!

Xu Yongding asked himself, if he were to take over, his performance would probably not be much better than Liao Lei's.

After all, the other party had only said a few sarcastic words to him. If Xu Yongding couldn't even stand this little bit of humiliation, how could he have worked in the position of county lieutenant, a position with light responsibilities but heavy responsibility, for more than ten years!

Liu Qi said unsteadily on his horse, "But from the tone of Mr. Liao's previous words, it seems that he has someone to rely on."

Knowing that Xu Yongding's daughter is her, Liu Qi, she still dares to say that she is not afraid. If she says that she does it just to vent her anger, then she is too brainless!

Xu Yongding, who was riding with Liu Qi, smiled helplessly and said, "This Lord Liao is indeed quite confident. Kong Hen, one of the Five Righteous Ones, was hunted down by his enemies before he became famous. He was seriously injured and fell on the side of the road. It was Liao Lei's mother who saved him."

"However, Liao Lei's mother has passed away for many years, and we haven't heard of any contact between the blood-faced monk who hates evil and the Liao family in these years. But it is said that when Kong Hen recovered from his injuries and left the Liao family, he gave the string of Buddhist beads he carried with him to Liao Lei's mother, and promised that if there was any problem in the future, he could use this string of Buddhist beads to look for Kong Hen."

Liu Qi had heard of this legendary monk more than once.

Konghen, one of the Five Righteous Men today, is known as the "Angry Vajra". But before he became one of the Five Righteous Men, he had a more widely known nickname, the Blood-Faced Monk!

It is said that he was an upright person who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. When he was a monk in Shaolin in his early years, he was ostracized because he was too upright. Later, he was expelled from Shaolin for committing murder.

From then on, there was a monk in the world who killed people without blinking an eye and was covered in blood, Konghen!

The last battle in which Konghen was truly known was before Po Wuling. At that time, Buddhism was flourishing and there were monasteries and temples all over the Da Qi.

As a result, the Daxing Temple, where even the emperor had gone to worship Buddha, was slaughtered overnight. None of the more than one hundred monks in the temple survived, and their deaths were so tragic that not even a complete body was left.

On the day of the incident, Kong Hen claimed responsibility for this shocking murder and became the number one wanted person on the Six Gates' wanted list.

However, after a detailed investigation, it was discovered that the Daxing Temple had been raping countless women in the name of praying for children. Lai even built a secret room in the temple and abducted women from the folk to be sexually abused by the monks in the temple. Until the six doors finally dug up the secret room under the main hall of the Daxing Temple, the numerous babies' bones almost piled up into a small mountain!
In the end, all the local officials, both big and small, who were related to Daxing Temple were sentenced to death, and Kong Hen turned from a murderer into a hero who eliminated evil and protected the good overnight!
Afterwards, his injustice was cleared and his name was removed from the wanted list, but Kong Hen's cruel method of fighting violence with violence and tit-for-tat still made people in the entire underworld shudder.

Even when Xu Yongding mentioned this major case that shocked the court and the underworld, there was still some lingering fear on his face.

When Liu Qi learned that all the monks of Daxing Temple had their legs pulled and torn to death, he couldn't help but become interested in this big monk who hated evil.

Konghen, according to the generation order, this person should be the elder of the current Shaolin abbot Jingchen. Maybe Feng Qun had met him when he was in Shaolin.

I don't know whether this word "hate" was chosen when he became a monk, or if it was chosen by him after he was expelled from Shaolin, but it does fit very well!

Jiangnan is undoubtedly a place of great martial arts. Anyone can be related to such a person!

Liu Qi immediately whispered, "Father, are you planning to go home today?"

When Xu Yongding saw that Liu Qi changed the subject, he knew that she didn't want to talk about threatening the officials at the banquet today, so he smiled helplessly and let out a long sigh.

Although the method was a bit rough, it at least showed that the daughter still cared about her father!
Thinking of this, Xu Yongding couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and then he replied with a happy face: "Tomorrow is the first day of my appointment, so I won't go back today. Prefect Chen has already arranged a place for me to stay in the government office."

Liu Qi thought about it, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'll stay here for one more night, and we'll go back home together tomorrow after my father gets off duty."

The reason why Xu Yongding agreed to take the position in Sujiang Mansion was not only because he felt it was not a good thing to stay idle at home, but also because Sujiang Mansion was too close to the provincial capital and he could go home to rest after finishing his shift every day.

In Xu Yongding's heart, family comes first.

Liu Qi also understood that she couldn't keep the Xu family by her side day and night, so even though she knew there was a certain risk in Xu Yongding's appointment to Sujiang Mansion, she still nodded in agreement.

As her Liu Qi's family, where can they be safe from danger?
As long as Liu Qi is still alive, those wandering ghosts waiting for an opportunity will naturally not dare to act arbitrarily.

If Liu Qi were dead, even if Xu Yongding hid in the imperial palace, he might not be able to save his life!

Chu Xingbai and Liu Shijiu naturally returned to the provincial capital overnight.

Liu Qi stayed in the government office for one night.

When Liu Qi woke up the next morning, a nervous maid brought him water for washing.

After Liu Qi finished washing up, he glanced at the sky outside and asked casually, "Has Lord Xu already reported for duty?"

Liu Qi's question made the young maid tremble for a moment, and then she replied with a trembling voice and a hint of tears: "Reply... Reply to the young lady, Master Xu has already been on duty!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but glance at the maid, and then thought to himself, is my name so famous now that even the little maids in the government office know about it?
What Liu Qi didn't know was that the maids in the back court today were all temporarily replaced by the prefect Chen Xingwen. Before they came, the old prefect had given her many instructions and warnings, almost calling Liu Qi a man-eating tiger.

So when the maid just walked in, she didn't even dare to raise her head, for fear of offending the ruthless man who killed people without blinking an eye in the eyes of the prefect!
After hearing the sound, the maidservant was subconsciously a little scared, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

Why is it that the terrifying and ruthless man in the rumors actually sounds like a delicate lady!
Then, seeing that Liu Qi didn't speak for a long time, the maid plucked up the courage to quietly raise her eyes and take a peek. As a result, the moment her eyes caught a glimpse of Liu Qi's face, the maid couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh!"

It was not until the sound came out that the maidservant belatedly realized and covered her mouth. Then she stood there trembling, waiting for the coming storm.

I closed my eyes and waited for a while, but there was no movement.

The maid opened her eyes nervously, only to find that there was nothing in front of her and she was the only one left in the room.

Liu Qi walked out of the government office gate. She walked all the way from the backyard and found that neither the servants nor the runners on duty at the door dared to look up at her. Then she realized that someone had reminded her from behind.

There is no need to guess who this person is. Apart from the prefect Chen Xingwen, who was rudely humiliated by Liu Qi at the banquet last night, there can be no one else. This is also an old fox. He knew that Liao Lei was dissatisfied with his father Xu Yongding last night, but he still invited him. Isn't this clearly to provoke a conflict between the two?
But an old fox also has its advantages. Just like now, after personally experiencing the terrifying power of Liu Qi, awe naturally took root in his heart.

Liu Qi lowered his eyes and glanced at the Jingji Knife on his waist, thinking that if everyone in the world knew when to advance and retreat like the old fox, there would be a lot less blood on his hands.

But Liu Qi also understood that this was just her own beautiful imagination.

As the saying goes, it is harder to touch interests than to touch the soul.

Driven by interests, Liu Qi, the tyrant, may have become a mere paper-mache figure in the eyes of some people.

After all, people can deceive themselves.

Liu Qi gathered his thoughts, chose the direction leading to the river and walked away.

Just as Liu Qi left the government office, countless letters were sent out from the government office like snowflakes. Naturally, the people from all walks of life in Sujiang Prefecture got the news the fastest.

Of course, most of their first reaction after seeing the contents of the letter was: "Why doesn't this killer leave yet!"

Letters from farther away were sent by carrier pigeons, flying all the way to a towering mountain villa in the south of the Yangtze River. The person in charge of the carrier pigeons changed his face slightly when he saw the secret letter on the pigeon's leg. He did not dare to open it and sent the letter sealed in wax to a heroic-looking woman.

Ever since the last incident, Song Qing'er has suddenly been valued by Fang Qingluan. Now she is in charge of many affairs in Feiyu Villa, and handling the secret letters is one of them.

Song Qing'er took a look at the wax sealing the letter and knew that she could not read the letter, so she took the letter to find Fang Qingluan.

Fang Qingluan stood up from the desk full of files, then took the secret letter handed over by Song Qing'er. After seeing that the wax seal of the letter was intact, she narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately opened the letter.

After quickly reading the contents of the letter, Fang Qingluan's expression became visibly solemn.

"Senior Sister Fang, what happened?" Song Qing'er saw that Fang Qingluan's face looked strange, so she asked in a low voice.

Fang Qingluan shook her head, and then instructed Song Qing'er: "Qing'er, go and invite the senior brother over. Tell him that I have something important to discuss with him, and ask him to come quickly."

After Song Qing'er responded and went out, Fang Qingluan stood there for a while, then murmured softly, "Liu Qi, what do you want to do?" and sat back.

After Feiyu Villa dealt with the elders who were close to Qi Hanwen, the old men of the same generation as Jiang Jiyu also retired one after another. Now, a group of young disciples led by Fang Qingluan and Dugu Ming have completely taken over all affairs of the sect.

As the eldest senior brother, Dugu Ming's duties have not changed much from the past. He is still responsible for teaching martial arts to the young disciples in the sect.

However, after the elders retired, Dugu Ming still felt that the burden on him was getting heavier, so he could only pull his fellow disciples to share the burden.

Even the young Song Qing'er was divided into two apprentices of the same age as children, and became a master overnight!

After Dugu Ming learned from Song Qing'er that Fang Qingluan was in a hurry to find him, he handed the disciple he was teaching to Song Qing'er and went to the study alone.

This was originally the place where Master Jiang Jiyu rested and handled sect affairs, but now it has been occupied by Fang Qingluan.

Looking at the pile of files and account books on the desk, Dugu Ming felt a headache and asked, "Junior sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Fang Qingluan, who was looking at the account book in her hand, said without raising her head: "Changle Gang's right protector Xue Pingyue appeared in Sujiang Mansion."

"What!" Dugu Ming was shocked when he heard this, but then he restrained his expression and said coldly, "Are the Changle Gang planning to break their promise and take advantage of the situation to rob us?"

"Hmph!" Fang Qingluan snorted twice, then put down the account book in her hand and said sarcastically: "Faithfulness, Changle Gang has never had such a thing!"

Fang Qingluan then changed the subject: "But you don't have to worry, Senior Brother. Someone has already helped us deal with Xue Pingyue. According to the time, Xue Pingyue's body should have been transported to the Huzhou headquarters!"

"what!"

Dugu Ming's voice was a little louder than the last time. He was surprised and asked in a trembling voice: "Xue Pingyue is dead. How is it possible? With his martial arts skills, there is only one person in the whole Jiangnan who can kill him..."

Before Dugu Ming finished speaking, Fang Qingluan threw the secret letter she had just received to him, then continued to look down at the account book, and said indifferently: "What a coincidence, the person he met can not only kill him, but maybe the Changle Gang will have to swallow their anger after knowing it."

After Dugu Ming received the secret letter and heard what Fang Qingluan said, he was wondering who could have such a great ability. However, he only took a glance at the secret letter and blurted out two words:
"Liu Qi!"

Crack!

Dugu Ming's hand holding the secret letter instantly curled into a fist, and he seemed to see the scene of Lin Yangui dying in his arms again.

Fang Qingluan heard the sound of paper being crushed, and then slowly raised his head to look at the senior brother, then sighed helplessly: "Senior brother, Liu Qi helped to remove the poison from Master."

Dugu Ming's face froze when he heard this, and then he silently dropped his hands to his sides. He slowly opened his palms, and the secret letter that had been crumpled into a ball slipped out and fell to the ground.

"Could it be that Junior Brother Lin...he died in vain?"

Fang Qingluan's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he immediately stood up and said seriously: "Big Brother, since the first day we stepped into the martial arts world, we should have known that it would be difficult to have a good ending in this life. Junior Brother Lin... at least he died happily."

Fang Qingluan could only say this much. There were some other things she was afraid to say, as they would upset her senior brother.

Although the master had never said it, Fang Qingluan understood that the hatred in the master's eyes had disappeared since the fight with Liu Qi in the palace that day.

Although Fang Qingluan herself found it difficult to understand, perhaps once one really reached that level, the so-called grudges and love and hatred would really not be important!
