Chapter 391 Breaking the Situation

Chapter 391 Breaking the situation

In fact, Ye Tingsheng himself can do this trick better than anyone else, and he knows that whether he can pull it off depends on the difference between host and guest, and who has the upper hand. It's a bit like the relationship between you and your superior in the system. If something goes wrong, you are obviously in charge and the superior has greater responsibility, but he can scold you bloody and you won't even have much to say in defense even if you want to. Power.

Although the situation this time is different, there are similarities. It is all a matter of momentum. At the home court of Wenjian Sect, surrounded by a group of high-ranking sects who have a natural tendency to "look down on the lackeys of the imperial court", Mu Jianli's voice can be so bright, and she can grab the conversation in all kinds of ways, which is really frustrating. Ye Tingsheng seemed to have seen himself sitting in the hall, and he was playing the same trick in being condescending... This time, he was played back twice in a row.

He took a serious look at Xue Mu again.

I heard that Xia Houdi once wanted to recruit him to serve in the imperial court, but unfortunately he failed. The so-called city lord position was basically equivalent to sealing him with gold. At this moment, Ye Tingsheng also felt that it was a pity that this person did not join the system.

After turning these thoughts in his mind, Ye Tingsheng's expression remained unchanged and he said slowly: "According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, those who mistakenly purchase stolen goods from thieves will not be held accountable if they can return them to their original owners. The governor will return to the house to investigate carefully. If there is indeed a family member who mistakenly Purchase it and return it all to your sect another day."

Mu Jianli smiled and said: "Governor Ye is indeed upright, but there is still a large amount of stolen goods flowing elsewhere. Should the Governor's Mansion and the Six Gates come forward to investigate and confiscate it, or should our sect handle it ourselves?"

This is the strength of the eight major sects. To a certain extent, they can replace the functions of the government. Punishing murderers and arresting thieves are among their business scope. At first, it was just to assist the government in the name of righteousness, but under the power of the Eight Sects, the functions of the Six Sects were squeezed out of shape, and they controlled the military affairs in the country in disguise, and then extended to more aspects.

Forget it if you set up private courts for your own internal affairs and replace national laws with family rules. They also killed corrupt officials after their own investigation. They were justified, and people applauded them. Xue Mu might also praise them, but from the court's standpoint, this was absolutely intolerable. In addition, there are some vendettas that are unclear about right and wrong. Anyway, if you only explain the rules of the house and don't explain it to your court, the six gates will not be able to do anything.

When Xue Mu first met Xia Houdi, wasn't this what worried her? To put it bluntly, Ji Qingyuan's troubles are also here. In fact, speaking of it, they still act according to the sect's template and do not interfere with local governance. It is really not that serious of a separatist regime. But in the eyes of Ji Qingyuan, this is a separatist regime. In the eyes of Ye Tingsheng and other pastors and Xia Houdi, they are also a bunch of bastards. Damn it. The degree is no less than that of the Demon Sect.

When Ye Tingsheng answered this question, he couldn't help but speak with a bit of resentment, and said coldly: "The heroes of your sect are invincible. They usually rush to do the things of banditry and dare to break into any place. This time, I just need to take care of my own stolen goods." !”

Mu Jianli stroked his palm and said, "It's easy to say this. Where is Elder Du of Jianfeng Hall!"

An elder came out solemnly: "Here."

"The Shenqianmen has a large amount of stolen goods from our sect. Do you know what to do?"

Elder Du raised his hand and said, "Whatever the sword points at will definitely live up to your destiny!"

Ling Baizhan was stunned for a while, and then he came to his senses: "Wait! Why do you think our sect has hidden stolen goods?"

Mu Jianli said solemnly: "I have obtained the exact information, and you will know it with just one search!"

Ling Baizhan didn't expect how this girl could be treated so differently. He made a "mistake" to Ye Tingsheng, and pointed a sword at Shenqianmen. He was so angry that he was shaking: "You ask Jian Zong for bullying others too much! "

Mu Jianli said coldly: "In public, Governor Ye personally gave our sect the right to search for bandits and recover stolen goods. This is not because our sect is tyrannical. Could it be that Master Ling didn't hear it?"

This time, Ye Tingsheng secretly complained that he had been deceived, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "The Shenqian Sect is also a leader in the righteousness of Jianzhou, how could they sell stolen goods? Is there something wrong with Sect Leader Mu's report?"

Xue Mu finally spoke: "Why do you look down on our Xingyue Sect's information? There are many special products among the stolen goods, such as the Wenjian Sect's special sword blanks, which even Zonghengdao dare not sell. How many powerful people are here, you will know after a check , I suggest that Marquis Xuan go out and have a look, lest anyone call me a monster and slander me."

Xuangzhe really wanted to go and take a look, but he suddenly remembered what Xia Houdi said and knew that this was really not a matter of stolen goods. It was better not to be led into a ditch by Xue Mu, so he had to stay silent and avoid it.

Both Ye Tingsheng and Ling Baizhan knew that this was really something that no one could see, so they hurriedly said: "Perhaps it was a mistaken purchase. It's possible that the people below can't tell the difference between Wenjian Sect's special sword type. It's better to let Lingmen The Lord will go back and check for himself, and if it is indeed there, just return it."

Mu Jianli stopped Elder Du, sighed and said: "Unfortunately, our sect rebelled, which not only led to the loss of resources, but also used the name of the ceremony to fish and meat Jianzhou, ruining the reputation of Wenjian Sect, and making the world's heroes laugh. I am really ashamed. I will carefully examine Zhao Hao's crimes, clarify the punishment, hold the party members accountable, and compensate the village. If you are interested, you may wish to leave a witness to show our determination to self-heal. In addition, I would also like to ask Governor Ye to take more trouble to stabilize prices. , let’s all work together to bring peace to Jianzhou.”

Ye Tingsheng was expressionless.

He had known for a long time that they would put all the blame on Zhao Hao, and he had told it in advance, thinking that he could block this move... But unexpectedly, this move was delivered at a different time, and the effect was still great. He and the Shenqianmen couldn't be wiped clean. Everyone looked at them with scrutiny and suspicion, but Mu Jianli let it go and didn't pursue them fiercely. At this time, they couldn't even breathe a sigh of relief. What other counter-arguments can be made?

In the eyes of others, the Wenjian Sect is cutting through the mess with a sharp knife, catching the rebels, and pursuing the stolen goods. He should be held accountable for his crimes and compensated for his crimes. Although he has made mistakes, he has expressed his determination to heal himself resolutely and quickly, and he is worthy of the right path. name. As for whether it will be implemented one by one in the future, no big boss will have the leisure to stay and observe, and will only judge based on the news later.

In other words, the reputation that Wenjian Sect may face for depravity and violating the right path has basically been cleared at this time. Moreover, in addition to Zhao Hao's gang members, the scope of his punishment will not be expanded, and it will not lead to centrifugation, which is extremely beautiful.

Even though many sect leaders knew that something was fishy and could not be done by Zhao Hao alone, they would not care too much about it.

After all, Wenjian Sect is not someone's subordinate. It is a super powerful sect on par with Lin Wuya. In fact, it is stronger than any other sect. At this level, right or wrong has become a secondary consideration. Since you are already willing to express your stance to the world like this, which shows your sincerity, you still want to get to the bottom of it?

If it was just to clear up a temporary reputation and the root cause was not solved, something would go wrong sooner or later in Wenjian Sect. But Ye Tingsheng knew that there was no chance. The return of the "thief's stolen goods" immediately solved an urgent need. After overcoming the current difficulties, various transactions can be opened and the chaos at the bottom can be sorted out. The Wenjian Sect will soon be back to normal.

The foundation of Wenjian Zong is too strong. Although the characters have personality problems, they are not fools. As long as you are willing to do things, you are certainly not incapable of doing things. In the past, it was Lin Wuya's indifference and other people's dissatisfaction with him that caused everyone to stop working and practice their own swords. It was a mess. Now that Mu Jianli is determined to forge ahead, even if Xue Mu stops coming up with ideas, Wenjian Sect will gradually turn around and there will no longer be any chance to take advantage of it.

Ye Tingsheng let out a long sigh and cupped his hands in a depressed manner: "Since Wenjian Sect has a pure heart, I am naturally happy to see it. Let's go back to check the stolen goods and take a step forward."

Ling Baizhan didn't even say a word, turned around and left angrily.

Mu Jianli didn't say any polite words to persuade them to stay, and watched them leave with cold eyes. At the moment, I have too many things to deal with, and I need to solve my own troubles first, so I focus on breaking the situation quickly and letting go of these two forces who are plotting to harm the sect. Once the sect is operating stably, sooner or later this place will be restored.

Everyone looked at her in amazement. Even if there was guidance from Xue Mu, it was impossible to teach them in advance how to deal with the situation on the spot. They could only give a rough idea of ​​what to do. However, Mu Jianli's performance was flawless, advancing and retreating freely, making it impossible to find any faults. This is her own talent.

This is a true genius, both in swordsmanship and worldly affairs.

Just by looking at the looks in the elders' eyes, you can tell that from now on, no one will treat her as just a little kid anymore. Faced with a shortage of supplies and on the verge of losing her reputation and being criticized by thousands of people, the new sect leader brought the sect to break the situation, which was enough for her to completely establish her authority, and it was also enough for Xue Mu to gain the friendship of the entire Wenjian Sect.
