Chapter 326 Disposal

The news that the Qian family's ancestor was an evil cultivator soon spread throughout Tongxian City.

Everyone was surprised, but it didn't seem to be surprising.

After all, the Qian family's reputation was too bad, and they had too many enemies.

Because of the Qian family's ancestor, the Qian family was sealed off and no cultivator was allowed to go out. Those who violated the rules would be punished for having private contact with evil cultivators.

When the Qian family's ancestor was found, the Dao Ting Division would convict him and then make a decision.

"What will happen to the Qian family?"

In the Dao Ting Division, Mo Hua asked while drinking tea with Zhou Zhang Si.

Mo Hua came to the Dao Ting Division to help Zhou Zhang Si.

The Qian family's ancestor escaped, but his cave was still there. The Dao Ting Division cleared his cave and confiscated all the items to see if there were any other clues or evidence.

Among them, Zhou Zhang Si didn't understand the formation, so he asked Mo Hua to help.

Mo Hua was entrusted by the old chief to look through them one by one, pick out the evil array inside, and find some other clues to prove the relationship between the Qian family's ancestor and the Black Mountain Village.

In this way, the evidence is solid when writing to the court, and the document written by Chief Zhou can also be well-reasoned.

After a while, Chief Zhou invited Mo Hua to have tea, and Mo Hua took advantage of his free time to ask Chief Zhou this question.

Chief Zhou's wounds had not yet healed, and his face was still a little pale. He coughed and said slowly:

"The ancestor of the Qian family must be caught and executed no matter what, in order to comply with the Dao law and to serve as a warning to others."

"As for the other disciples of the Qian family...it can be light or heavy."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "How should I say it?"

"If you want to punish the heavier crime, it goes without saying. I wrote to the Dao Court, saying that the Qian family colluded with the Black Mountain Stronghold, colluded with evil cultivators, killed people and robbed goods, and most of the cultivators of the Qian family would be executed. Even if they don't die, they will be exiled, deprived of their surnames, and exiled from Tongxian City."

"If you want to punish the lighter crime, it means that the collusion with evil cultivators was all done by the ancestor of the Qian family, and the other disciples of the Qian family were unaware of it. In this way, even if the Dao Court holds them accountable, it will not be too serious. At most, the family property will be lost, and the lives of most of the disciples of the Qian family should still be safe."

Chief Zhou looked kind and patiently explained to Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was surprised, "There is so much room for operation here, won't corruption breed?"

Zhou Zhangsi was choked, coughed violently twice, and said unhappily:

"How dare you say anything, kid..."

Mo Hua smiled embarrassedly.

Zhou Zhangsi couldn't do anything to Mo Hua, and said helplessly: "Indeed, it will..."

Zhou Zhangsi sighed, "So in this world, some monks committed serious crimes, but they were protected by Dao Tingsi and were safe and sound, and some monks made minor mistakes, but their entire family was executed because they offended Dao Tingsi."

"I told you this, not to let you bribe, nor to let you accept bribes, but to let you understand the doorway here, and don't suffer in this regard in the future."

"Some things, if you know the way, it is actually very simple to solve, but if you don't know the way, even if you spend a lot of effort, you may run into obstacles everywhere and make a mess."

Zhou Zhangsi said earnestly.

Manager Zhou has been in Daoting Division for most of his life, and he knows everything about it.

These things may not be profound or complicated, but if no one points them out to the cultivators outside Daoting Division, they may never understand them in their lifetime.

Mo Hua was grateful for Manager Zhou's advice, and patted his chest and said:

"Manager, if you need to draw a formation in the future, just find me!"

Manager Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, the little formation master!"

Mo Hua nodded confidently.

Within the scope of the first-grade formation, he now has his hands in his pockets, fearless, and looking around, he can no longer see any opponents.

Of course, except for Mr. Zhuang.

Then Mo Hua asked again: "How will the Qian family deal with this matter?"

"What do you think?" Manager Zhou asked back, with some caution in his eyes.

Mo Hua held his chin and thought for a while, then said:

"I think it's not good to punish them severely or leniently..."

"If it's punished severely, there will be too many casualties, and even if there are many evil cultivators in the Qian family, there are always innocent people. A one-size-fits-all approach won't work."

"It's not good to punish them leniently either. The Qian family won't learn a lesson, and they may become even worse in the future."

"It's best to look over the old accounts, and kill and arrest those who have killed people or have criminal records to serve as a warning to others. Then deprive them of their property, and let the remaining cultivators live a hard life, and go to refine weapons, make pills, or hunt monsters themselves..."

"When people are comfortable, they tend to feel sick. If they are tired every day and fall asleep as soon as they lie down, they won't have the heart to think of bad ideas."

Zhou Zhangsi's eyes lit up as he listened.

Neither was he vindictive nor was he deliberately kind. He had a clear distinction between good and evil in his heart, and dealt with everyone in due proportion.

He is indeed a good kid...

Zhou Zhangsi smiled and said, "That's right, he is a little like an old man who always talks about moderation and acts impartially."

Mo Hua muttered, "Let's just call him an old man..."

As long as things are done safely, it's fine.

Mo Hua left Daotingsi and was about to go home, but met Master Luo on the way.

Master Luo said, "Mr. Xiao Mo, what a coincidence."

But Mo Hua saw his expression and it was obvious that he came prepared, and it didn't look like a "coincidence" at all.

"Master Luo, what can I do for you?"

"It's better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. I just got a cake of Tuanlong tea in my house. I wonder if Mr. Xiao Mo would be so kind as to taste it together?"

Mo Hua, who had already drunk a belly of tea, wanted to refuse, but Master Luo's kindness was hard to refuse, and he was really curious about what "Tuanlong tea" looked like, so he nodded and agreed.

Master Luo personally took Mo Hua to his cave, took out the tea cake with great care, brewed the tea himself, and handed it to Mo Hua in person.

"Please!"

Mo Hua glanced at the color of the tea, which was light gold like ambergris, and took a sip of the tea soup, which was mellow like dragon musk.

It tasted much better than the tea that Zhou Zhangsi invited him to drink.

Mo Hua couldn't help but sigh. It looked like Master Luo's life was much more "corrupt" than that of Director Zhou...

"Good tea!" Mo Hua praised.

Although he didn't know what was good about it, it was indeed delicious.

Master Luo was also pleased with Mo Hua's praise, as if he was bathed in spring breeze.

Mo Hua took another sip, then approached Master Luo and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Master Luo said calmly, "I just want to invite Mr. Mo to taste tea."

Mo Hua looked at Master Luo with a look of "I don't believe you".

Master Luo was helpless and a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and then lowered his voice and said:

"Master Qian wants to see you."

"Master Qian?"

Master Luo sighed, "The matter of the Qian family's ancestor has caused a lot of trouble in the city. The Qian family is now banned. Master Qian can't go out and is worried. He doesn't know what the fate of the Qian family will be. That's why he asked someone to pass on a message and wanted to see you."

"But why see me?" Mo Hua was a little confused.

Master Luo said, "The Qian family is not popular. Although Master Qian is a formation master and has a wide range of friends, he is helpless in this matter. In the end, I can only ask you."

"Master Qian, what does he want to tell me?"

"I don't know about this, but it's nothing more than asking questions like how the Qian family will be dealt with."

Master Luo sighed slightly and said with emotion, "Such a big Qian family will fall in the blink of an eye."

Mo Hua thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

Master Luo was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Mo!"

After that, Mo Hua went to find Manager Zhou and asked for a gift to enter the Qian family, and then went to the Qian family to meet Master Qian.

Mo Hua confirmed with his spiritual sense in advance that there were no elders of the Qian family and no foundation-building cultivators around. It was indeed only Master Qian, and then he began to talk to Master Qian.

Master Qian didn't ask anything else. As Master Luo said, it was nothing more than the safety of the Qian family and the problem of the Dao Court's disposal.

This was a small matter for Mo Hua, but it was a matter of life and death for Master Qian.

However, this matter was ultimately decided by Dao Tingsi, and Mo Hua could not interfere. He could only briefly mention it and said:

"Dao Tingsi is clear about right and wrong, and everyone will not add insult to injury. The Qian family is guilty, but the whole family will not be executed."

Master Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Hua asked again: "Master Qian, do you know about the Black Mountain Village?"

Master Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He was just a formation master who studied formations behind closed doors. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to get involved in the affairs of evil cultivators.

Mo Hua nodded and said: "As long as you don't know anything, you are safe."

Master Qian has the strength of a first-class formation master. Real first-class formation masters are scarce everywhere.

Even if the Qian family really punished the crime severely and executed the whole family, as long as Master Qian really didn't know, Dao Tingsi would find a way to keep his life.

Because he is a formation master.

Even if the Daoting Division didn't say anything, he would ask the old chief to let Master Qian go because of his friendship with the formation master.

Master Qian looked at Mo Hua gratefully when he heard this.

Master Qian sent Mo Hua to the gate and apologized:

"I am guilty, so I can only send you here. Please don't blame me, Mr. Mo."

"Master Qian, you are too polite."

Mo Hua turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Master Qian again.

Master Qian bowed deeply to Mo Hua and said solemnly:

"I don't need to thank you for your kindness. If Mr. Mo has any mission in the future, I will do it even if I die!"

"Master Qian, you don't need to be so polite."

Mo Hua also returned the greeting, thinking that maybe there will be something in the future that needs Master Qian's help.
