People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 442: How long will the dark clouds cover the sun?
When the Ningbo prefect heard what those gangsters said, he felt relieved. So that was the case.

If the saint could really do this, it would be equivalent to saving her life again.

Because now my actions represent not only one person, but also many colleagues in the province.

If something really happens, a large number of people will have to pay the price for this incident.

Although everyone in the officialdom wishes that all obstacles would disappear, he still doesn't want to implicate others because of himself in this matter, otherwise it would be too unethical.

So after hearing what the people in the underworld said about him, he finally felt relieved, and then he said with some doubt: "Is it really going to be okay?"

Hearing this, the Jianghu people laughed and said, "It seems that you don't disbelieve in us, but you don't believe in our Saint."

"No, no, no... I dare not do this. Anything is fine as long as the Saint is not angry." The Ningbo prefect now looked a little frightened.

"You don't know that the Saint saved my life. If the Saint suffers any injustice because of me, I will never be able to atone for my sin even if I die a thousand times!"

When everyone saw him like this, they immediately asked him about what happened back then.

It was only after the Ningbo prefect explained it for a year that everyone finally understood what was going on.

However, it can also be seen from this that the current saint is the real savior of the Ningbo prefect, and she is the kind of person who lends a helping hand in the most dangerous times, so she must be grateful, otherwise it would be too conscienceless.

Others were also quite surprised when they heard that there was such a connection between the Ningbo prefect and the saint.

"I never thought that the Saint had saved your life before. You should be grateful for this. Even if the Saint doesn't care about what happened today, you still have to reflect on it."

The people in the underworld would not be so polite to him. They finally got a chance to teach a prefect a lesson, so of course they had to give him a good talk.

Although the Ningbo prefect was a very face-conscious person, he did not do a good job in this matter and did it very poorly. So when he heard these words, he was very convinced.

There is even a sense of being taught.

Perhaps he really did something like this many years ago, because when he recalled this, he immediately smiled with understanding.

Because he was also so reckless and impulsive at that time.

In fact, the reason why we were able to adjust in time was because of the saint.

He was not in a very good condition at the time, because the flood came so suddenly and no one expected it to be so severe. At that time, he was still an official with little experience, because he had been in the Hanlin Academy before.

Being transferred to Wenzhou Prefecture as a magistrate was his first time in a local government position. At that time, everyone envied him for this rare opportunity.

After all, some people may never be able to get promoted to the position of county magistrate in their entire life, but unexpectedly, he was promoted to deputy magistrate all of a sudden.

At that time, he was still thinking about making a name for himself in one go, so that he could comfort himself with what he had learned in his life. However, he did not expect that he would encounter such a big thing just after he started working. He was completely at a loss at the time.

Fortunately, the saint lady suddenly appeared like a god descending from the sky at that time and helped the entire Wenzhou Prefecture. At the same time, she also saved the life of the official who had just come from the capital. Otherwise, he might have been beheaded while in office, because this kind of thing is obvious without even thinking about it.

If a disaster is not handled properly and sparks a civil uprising, local officials will definitely be beheaded, so that the local people can be given an explanation.

After all, if the officials of a local garrison do not have this ability, then their death is not a pity.

It was because of the help of the saint that they all escaped.

When the Ningbo prefect thought of those things, he suddenly felt that he was really lucky at that time.

That is why he is still very grateful to the saint.

Now when he heard about this, he first felt very guilty, and then angry.

What made him angry was why even now there are still many scholars who don't understand the Duke's good intentions. You have to know that the Duke is risking his life for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Now he has traveled to the lair of the Japanese pirates just to get rid of all the pirates once and for all. This in itself is a commendable thing, but why are there always people who seize on the little mistakes of the Duke, the little procedures that were not followed, and start to make a big fuss?
Is that little process so important?
As a person in the officialdom, he understood too well that many times one cannot blame the Duke for being swift and decisive, because in the process, as long as one is soft-hearted, there will definitely be people who manipulate the process to cover up the facts, and they may even commit murder and arson in order to destroy the evidence.

She had lived in Beijing before and often heard that some major cases ended up in nothing. Why?
Because a lot of evidence was destroyed artificially in this process, the person who was finally caught may become a scapegoat, while the real mastermind is at large behind the scenes. Aren’t such things rare?

The Duke saw this and that's why he didn't give these people time to act. He knew clearly that those people were corrupt officials and parasites, but he still gave them enough time to act. Isn't this pedantic?
Not everyone deserves to be treated according to the procedures of the Ming Dynasty law. Many people deserve to be put to death.

And those so-called scholars seemed to understand the truth very well, and used the Ming Dynasty laws to accuse the Duke. In fact, they understood better than anyone why they had to do this, but why did they still use such examples to attack the Duke?
In fact, I am just looking for trouble to show that I am different from others, so that everyone knows that I am an educated person and I understand things better than you people.

In fact, this kind of person is the most hateful. They don't do their job properly, but do something unconventional just to show that they are different.

That scholar was such a person. After hearing his subordinates report what happened, the Ningbo prefect wished he could fly over and kill the scholar directly.

On the one hand, it was indeed out of personal vendetta, but on the other hand, he also wanted to teach a lesson to those who were secretly preparing to do such a thing.

Let them all know that doing such a thing is seeking death.

A businessman even came forward to comfort the Ningbo prefect: "In fact, everyone has witnessed your actions in Ningbo City over the years. You are not corrupt and do not accept bribes. You are also a person who knows how to handle things flexibly. This is much better than those officials who seek fame and reputation."

"Yes, we have traveled all over the country and have seen many officials. From our own point of view, if all officials in the world can be like you, our Ming Dynasty officialdom will be much better."

The Ningbo prefect felt a little happy when he heard the merchants' praise, but he was still very angry about this matter.

"If I had known that something like this would happen, I should have escorted the Saint all the way here. To be honest with you, even without your accusations, I still find it difficult to forgive myself for this matter.

Besides the fact that the Saint was my savior, I actually blame myself more because our Duke tried so hard to change everyone's mindset, but in the end there were still some people who didn't understand.

If they are angry and say such things just because the Duke's reforms have damaged their interests, I can understand it, but what I can't understand is why there are still some scholars who are so hypocritical?"

This statement attracted the attention of others.

Everyone is saying that you are an official who has become an official through education. Do you view other educated people in this way?
The Ningbo prefect knew what they were thinking and said bluntly: "Although I am also educated, the more so, the more I can feel the benefits of the Duke's reforms.

I finally understood why the Duke had to destroy the monument in the hearts of scholars, the so-called Confucius Mansion, before the reform.

Because there are a bunch of moldy and rotten roots living there. If they are not destroyed, they will definitely spread the word. Because I am a scholar, I know what means they will use. I have read the books of sages for so many years and understand the benefits of them, but I also understand that these books of sages make some people feel too superior.

They even naively believe that as long as they are immersed in the teachings of the saints and sages, they will definitely be nobler than others. They can’t take off this long gown. "

I don’t know what I was thinking of when I said this.

The Ningbo prefect raised his head and looked towards the sky.

At this time, the dark clouds just covered the sun.

For a moment it felt like it was going to rain.

Just like this world.

Even if Chen Han's light is as bright as the sun, once the dark clouds block the light, the bugs lurking in the darkness will immediately come out to cause trouble.

The Ningbo prefect ignored the shock of the people around him and said to himself: "I don't know when the dark clouds in the world will be completely cleared."

He was full of emotion when he said this.

This time, he felt emotional not because he was almost implicated by that scholar, but because he found a hint of inspiration from the scholar's outrageous words.

Although the people in the world could not understand what the Ningbo prefect said, they could tell from his expression that the current Ningbo prefect must be lamenting that there are still many pedantic scholars who are constantly attacking the new policy for their own petty interests.

Although the new policy is very good, the main beneficiaries are still the common people. How can they, who have always benefited from the imperial examinations, sit idly by and watch such a thing happen?

Even though there was an incident in which scholars were massacred by Chen Han for obstructing the new policy, there were still many scholars who risked their lives for their own interests.

At this time on the way here, Guo Feixue's emotions had calmed down a lot.

Just as those people in the underworld said, in fact, at this time, Guo Feixue did not seem angry at all.

Because she knew exactly what she wanted to do.

If she couldn't even stand this little bit of obstruction, she wouldn't be worthy of standing beside Chen Han and receiving so much admiration.

Since you have chosen to stand with Chen Han, you must constantly remind yourself that there will be many more such things in the future.

By the time she had adjusted her mindset, the driver outside had already said, "Saint, we're here."

Guo Feixue nodded and came out of the car.

The Ningbo prefect and others were waiting at the entrance of the guild hall.

The prefect of Ningbo was very nervous at this time. He was really afraid that Guo Feixue would come down and say to him, "How do you manage the entire Ningbo city? The people under your rule are too restless."

This could be a devastating blow to him.

If Guo Feixue had really said this, the prefect of Ningbo might not live in self-blame today, or for a long time in the future.

When Jianghu Ren looked at Guo Feixue at this time, he found his eyes lit up.

Guo Feixue, who got off the carriage, exuded the confidence of a queen. She held her head high with pride. There was no arrogance on her perfect face, but she gave people a strong feeling of power.

That kind of confidence comes from within.

Although he didn't have a condescending feeling, his whole body exuded a strong aura that seemed to indicate that he had everything under control.

Everyone present is either a business tycoon or a gangster.

Each of them could shock others when they walked out, but today in front of Guo Feixue, they actually felt as if their aura was completely suppressed.

This is a little girl who is only nineteen years old.

She might be younger than the granddaughters of some people present, but at this moment, many people subconsciously avoided Guo Feixue's gaze and stood aside feeling ashamed.

"We are waiting to welcome the Saint!"

The more than 30 people present were shocked and surprised when they saw Guo Feixue get off the carriage, but they immediately began to salute.

After seeing them, Guo Feixue still kept a confident smile on her face and nodded slightly: "Sorry for the long wait!"

"Please come in, Saint. We can't wait to listen to your teachings." A man from the martial arts world said politely.

"Mr. Qian, you can't joke with me. Everyone knows your reputation in the world. If your salt gang's boats don't sail for a day, the price of salt in the lower reaches of the river may rise a lot. How many people depend on you for their food! I, a little girl, am still too young in front of you." Although Guo Feixue knew that her current status was no longer the same, she was still very humble.

This emanates from the bones.

The White Lotus Sect's current status is due to its humility.

If you are too proud, you will probably be eliminated from the world.

This is the education they received since childhood.

When everyone saw that Guo Feixue was so easy to talk to, they immediately had a better impression of her.

Before, I only knew that Guo Feixue was a simple and cute girl, but now it seems that she is actually a veteran in the world.

The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

If you don't even have any social skills, do you still want to survive in the world?
When Guo Feixue arrived, she did not show any aggressiveness, but was half-joking and very respectful to her seniors.

This makes people feel very comfortable. At least it shows that Guo Feixue will not use the majesty of the Duke's Mansion to bully the people in the martial arts world...
