Dao Fruit

"The law establishes the great law, etiquette is obedient to human relationships, the law is established at the top, and the teachings are spread to the bottom."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Wen Anguo showed a different look on his face, then continued reading, and finally laughed.

"What a favor from the law! This scholar named Qiu Yan has such a powerful mouth. He immediately gave the Pan family a reputation as illegal and ruthless, saying that the Pan family disrespected the law and violated the etiquette."

He pointed at a sentence in the letter and said to the staff beside him: "Look at this sentence."

The staff came closer and read softly: "Although the desire cannot be exhausted, it can be close to it; although the desire cannot be left, the pursuit can be restrained."

Then, the staff took a breath and said: "This Qiu Yan said that the whipping of Xie Shan and others was to teach evil people and make them restrained. It was to help Xie Shan and others control their evil thoughts and desires. That is not hurting people, but This is the way of upright saints! This beating of Xie Shan and others was in vain. When they entered the city, many people followed them along the way, including many scholars. It will soon be known to everyone. If Pan Mansion takes revenge afterwards, If it spreads to Shilin, I'm afraid..."

"Yes," Wen Anguo nodded, "Now, the Pan family has nothing to say. If they had acted quietly, I would have been accommodating afterwards. But now they go to arrest people in a big way, but they are not caught, but many people are arrested." People know that if they tell the truth, there is nothing the official can do. Is it possible that they still use their official positions to oppress people and oppress good people? This is unacceptable under the law!"

The staff nodded and said: "My lord is wise, this matter is due to the Pan family's poor handling. Pan Zhi is still young and does not know how to be feared. My subordinates also made inquiries and found out that the Liu family is just a small family with no power or influence. What's wrong? Can it be related to what happened at night?"

"Pan Zhi still had to practice a lot, but Qiu Yan was a bit interesting and courageous. He subdued Xie Shan and others, and took out a silver cake and asked people to bundle it up and deliver it. Under the heavy reward, he worked hard, Moreover, they were unable to control each other and brought the matter to the magistrate's office." Wen Anguo said and glanced at his staff, "Have you found out the origin of the money?"

The staff nodded: "It comes from a few soldiers and gangsters, and it seems that Qiu Yan has taken advantage of it."

Wen Anguo felt a slight difference: "Oh? So, Qiu Yan is not only scheming, but also good at methods. He is a man who can be made. I heard that he is just a boy?"

The staff member whispered: "You also know what happened in the last Taoist test. Li Jianchang accepted bribes, and those who could pass were those who had stuffed money into them. Qiu Yan's family is impoverished, so of course he can't pass."

"It's good to be penniless," Wen Anguo took another sip of tea, "You just said that his father died in a banditry. This way, he has nothing to worry about. He has some talents and skills, so you might as well pay attention to him in the future."

The staff nodded in agreement.

Wen Anguo glanced down at the letter again and sighed: "His handwriting is also a bit interesting. Although it is invisible, it has a charm. Maybe he can become famous. This kind of person doesn't even have the reputation of a scholar." No, it’s too unreasonable.”

"My lord is right." The staff also nodded and said sincerely.

"Okay," Wen Anguo waved his hand, "Let's send the person to Pan's house first, and tell Pan Zhi that it's not that I don't want to help, but that he doesn't do things well and can't help even if he wants to. By the way, Click on it and ask him to calm down. If things get too big, it will not be good for anyone. This Yuanning City belongs to Darui, not his Pan family. If the trouble goes up, no one will get any good results. "

………………

Boom!

"What did you say?" Young Master Pan punched the table and stood up from his seat, "The men sent to arrest were beaten? And they were sent to the prefect's Yamen?"

"Reporting to the young master," Zheng Yan raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat and said, "I just learned about this. It was the prefect who sent someone to send Xie Shan and others back. I heard from the teachers in the mansion that their kung fu skills are as good as Destroyed!"

"Destroyed?" Young Master Pan's eyes widened. "Aren't they all martial arts masters? How can they be deposed after catching a few thieves? By the way, who are they going to arrest? Pan Mansion is arresting someone, who is it? Do you have the guts to resist? It’s a waste of time.”

"This..." Zheng Yan's expression changed slightly, but he still said truthfully, "They are going after Liu Huai's family. They have just been dismissed by the government. It is inevitable that they have a grudge, so my subordinates ordered people to arrest them."

"Liu Huai? Liu Yue?" Young Master Pan glanced at Zheng Yan, "Thank you for thinking of them. They are such a family. Even if they were given ten courages, they would not be able to commit such a thing!"

"My subordinates know that this is not to... satisfy the Shangling Dao? It must withstand scrutiny after all. After all, the Liu family is unwilling..."

Young Master Pan shook his head and said: "Okay, okay. Since I have left this matter to you, I just believe in your ability. I don't care about your thoughts, as long as you can work for me with peace of mind. However, how can the Liu family have the ability to hurt you?" It’s thanks to the mountain.”

"Thank you for your trust, young master. I will do my best to retaliate with all my heart," Zheng Yan said first, and then said, "I heard from Xie Shan that it was a cousin of the Liu family who hurt them, his name is Qiu Yan."

"Qiu Yan? That scholar who always wanted to report to the official, but ended up taking Xiruan and running away? Such a courageous person can hurt a martial arts master? Xie Shan is really bad at making excuses!" Young Master Pan sneered, "But since someone from the Pan family has been injured, no matter who it is, we must not let it go. We must immediately add more people to capture the Liu family and his party!"

Zheng Yan looked happy after hearing this: "I obey, the villain..."

But before he finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from outside the door.

"Master! You can't do it!"

"Huh?" Young Master Pan looked over and frowned, "General Manager, why is it you?"

The man who came was about fifty years old, but he was energetic and walked quickly without taking a breath. He was the chief steward of the mansion, also surnamed Pan, and was called Chief Steward Pan. When he arrived at the house, he said directly: "Young Master, the Liu family can't be arrested. Not only can they not be arrested, but Xie Shan and others must be punished. As for the instigator, he must not commit the same crime."

When Chief Steward Pan spoke, he glanced at Zheng Yan, who had an ugly face.

Zheng Yan's eyes were flashing with resentment.

………………

"Yan'er, I won't ask where you learned kung fu, but today's matter can't be settled peacefully. Master Xie is a master recruited by the Pan Mansion. He and his men were injured by you, and the Pan Mansion will definitely not let it go."

On a muddy road outside Qingchang County, Liu Huai was full of worry.

In front, Qiu Yan was carrying a lot of bags. After hearing this, he said without turning his head: "Uncle, you are wrong. If we just keep silent and accept it, the Pan family will not let it go. But I made such a big fuss and paid someone to take Xie Shan and others to the prefectural government, so the Pan family dared not do anything to us."

"How can this be true? The prefect and Mr. Pan are old friends and have a good relationship. It's good that he doesn't add fuel to the fire of the Pan family. Can he stop it?" Liu Yue, who was pushing a flatbed cart in the back, shook his head.

Since Xie Shan led people to block the road, Qiu Yan and others got off the carriage. The driver did not dare to offend the Pan family and did not dare to take Liu Huai's family. Qiu Yan and others had to walk, but there was still Pan Rongniang who was unconscious, so he spent money to buy this flatbed cart from passers-by.

"Even if the government and the Pan family are colluding, they are all doing things in secret and cannot be put on the table."

Qiu Yan didn't care at all.

"It's fine if it's a small matter, but now that the matter has become so serious, we are right. The Pan family must avoid this limelight. They are wealthy and powerful, unlike those ruffians. The roots of such a big family are in Yuanning, so they must protect their reputation. Otherwise, if they get a bad reputation, the careers of their children will be unstable and people will use it to make trouble. This is an open conspiracy. No matter how powerful the Pan family is, they have to endure it."

"That being said, once the limelight is over..." Liu Yue shook his head, thinking that although his cousin has changed recently and is no longer so pedantic, he can't help but be careless when encountering things.

"Once the storm is over?" Qiu Yan sneered, "Once the storm is over, even if the Pan family doesn't come to me, I will go to the Pan family to settle accounts. Cousin, don't worry about these things. I know what's going on."

There are some things that he didn't say, but kept in his heart--

"Since I have offended the Pan family, I don't have to hold back. Do I really have to wait until the storm is over before I can stop them? It's too troublesome. It's better to strike first! The Pan family is rich and powerful, but I have a soul and spirit now. Compared with the two, there may not be much difference. I just need to be careful and not attract the attention of the upper spirits. However, I have to wait until I get to Qingchang to make a detailed plan. Now I have to settle my uncle's family first."

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked to the side and said, "Brother Yan also heard what Qiu said just now. The Pan family will not take action for the time being."

Not far from him, a tall man was walking alone with a knife on his back, less than ten feet away from Qiu Yan and others.

"Haha, little brother, don't be so polite. I have good intentions. I have no idea where to go in Shu to seek immortality. It doesn't matter if I delay for a day or two."
