C343 Failure
Outside the Buping House.
When it came to chasing after Huang Cailun, even more people had come to join in the fun. They saw dozens of fresh human heads fall to the ground with their own eyes.
Among these people, there was the City Lord of Flowing Wind City, the City Lord's younger brother, his son, nephew, and the patriarch of Lee Family, the patriarch of Wang Family, the vice president of Eastern Mountain Chamber of Commerce, and so on and so forth.
All of them were 'big shots' in the eyes of the people. All of them were existences that made people fear them. They were all powerful people who could make people feel angry but not dare to say anything.
However, today, under the swift and decisive actions of Buping House, the heads of these people fell to the ground.
Many people were crying, their hearts were tearing and their lungs were tearing.
But. . .
They were not sad for the death of these people, but they were crying tears of joy because of the injustice.
They were victims, victims of persecutions. They were treated unfairly, but they had no way to seek justice. They thought that they could only live with pain and despair for the rest of their lives, but who knew. . .
There was actually someone who could make the decision for the people.
"Everyone. . . "
Sun Zhi came to the door of Buping House and stood in the middle of the dozens of human heads. He looked around at the increasing number of people. Every pair of eyes was staring at him. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, under the protection of Buping House, there will be no more injustice in Liufeng City.
If you are accused of injustice and are bullied by others, you can come to Buping House to report it. Even if the person you want to report is a member of Buping House, we will deal with it seriously.
When the Emperor ascended the throne, he said that the Son of Heaven broke the law and is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. Even with the dignity of the Emperor, he is willing to set an example for himself, let alone us, the ignorant. . . "
As Sun Zhi spoke loudly, the surrounding people discussed animatedly.
"The son of heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the commoners. . . "
Lo Qingcheng muttered to herself. She had lived for so long, experienced so many things, and had seen so many things, but this was the first time she had heard these words.
As the Son of Heaven, The most respected person in the entire country was actually willing to place herself in the same position as a commoner in front of the law.
Putting aside whether or not this Son of Heaven would receive the punishment he deserved if he really made a mistake, just this act of tarnishing the authority of the Emperor to raise the law was already unprecedented.
And as a person from outside the domain, after witnessing it in the public hall of Buping House, Lo Qingcheng was also able to understand what kind of existence this Buping House was.
At first, it was only a spur of the moment for the two youths in the Jinxia City. With their pure hearts, they wanted to sweep away all the injustice in the world.
However, in just a short period of one year, the actions of Buping House had shocked everyone. They had saved the millions of disaster victims in Cangnan Domain and destroyed the evil plot of Royal Qin Clan.
Now, one of the two young men had ascended to the throne and became the Emperor. He was called Emperor Yongping. Although he was the king, he still shouted 'The Son of Heaven has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as a commoner'. He would set an example for himself.
The other man was called Chu Yun.
It was Yang Xiaochan's master.
Lo Qingcheng looked at Yang Xiaochan who was holding a pig knuckle and eating it with force and her expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.
At this time, Sun Zhi came to Lo Qingcheng's side. He said, "Miss, if you have nothing else to do. . . You can stay in the vicinity of Buping House for the next few days. We will protect you strictly. . . Oh. Don't misunderstand, it's not that I have any ill intentions towards you. It's that a few people were caught during the arrest just now. Now, they've fled outside and are nowhere to be found. Before we capture them, all the witnesses are in danger. "
“. . . ”
Lo Qingcheng looked at him and did not say anything.
After that, the woman raised her jade-like hand and seemed to grab something in the void.
Hundreds of miles away, a few figures who were running away suddenly had a drastic change in expression. They realized that their bodies were uncontrollably flying towards the direction of Flowing Wind City.
In less than a breath's time, those few figures were forcefully dragged back to Liufeng City. They flew to the front gate of Buping House and stared into Sun Zhi's eyes with fear and confusion.
“. . . ???”
Sun Zhi's face was also filled with shock. His eyes were wide open. He had never thought that. . . This Heavenly Immortal girl in front of him actually had the ability of a Heavenly Immortal! With a casual grab, he caught the few fish that had escaped from the net.
"J-Miss. . . What a great move. . . "
Sun Zhi stuttered as he spoke. He was already guessing the cultivation base of this girl in his heart. It was impossible for someone at the Mountain Sea Stage to do so. He had seen a Nirvana Stage warrior before, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it either. Could it be a Fate Wheel Stage warrior?
However, she was still so young. . .
"These few people didn't run away by themselves. They were purposely let go by a few members of the Buping House. "
Lo Qingcheng's expression was calm as she stared at Sun Zhi.
As soon as she finished speaking, a few members of Buping House who were working behind Sun Zhi could not hide the shock and panic in their eyes. Before they could react, Lo Qingcheng grabbed their bodies and brought them in front of Sun Zhi.
Just now, Lo Qingcheng had covered the entire Liufeng City with her powerful divine sense while the capture was going on. No matter what the people in the city did, it wouldn't escape her senses. These few members of Buping House had taken the benefits and purposely let these fishes escape. Naturally, she had also noticed it.
"Are they the ones?"
Sun Zhi's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant. He looked at the few Buping House members.
At this moment, under the pressure of Lo Qingcheng's powerful strength, those few people knew it was useless to deny it. Hence, they kowtowed like garlic and hurriedly begged for mercy. They claimed that they were blinded by greed and did not think of harming Buping House and Yunyun. However, Sun Zhi's tensed face did not relax at all.
"Knowing the law and breaking the law is an additional crime!"
Sun Zhi angrily said. "Guards, suppress him for me. Ask him what happened. Punish him severely. Kill those who deserve to be killed!"
. . . "Yes!"
When the Buping House's members heard this, their bodies immediately trembled. They hurriedly stepped forward and suppressed these traitors. During the entire process, wails of pain and regret were heard continuously.
"I've let this young lady see a joke. "
Sun Zhi's expression was still ugly, but he forced out a smile. He cupped his hands towards Lo Qingcheng and said, "Thanks to young lady's divine ability, you helped us catch these fishes that escaped from the net. I. . . "
Before he could finish his words, he was caught. Lo Qingcheng raised her hand to stop him.
"I don't want to hear this nonsense. "
Lo Qingcheng shook her head and said, "I just want to know, how is the Buping House going to face itself?
When faced with the outside world, you will receive reports from anyone and proactively protect those who report it. These are all very good and are the foundation for doing things well, but. . .
How are you going to face the internal corruption? Like those traitors just now, I believe that this is not the only time that they took the money and deliberately let the person go. This time, I saw. . . What about the next time when no one saw it?
As time passes, the people of Buping House will continue to corrupt and degenerate. Will there be a day when they will become like those corrupt officials who were killed by you?
Have you ever thought about these problems? Or perhaps. . .
Your OP, have you thought about it?"
As soon as Lo Qingcheng's voice faded, Sun Zhi's face turned solemn.
Being able to ask such a question proved that Lo Qingcheng's horizons were not something ordinary people could compare with. The depth of her thoughts was also worth affirming.
Buping House was an organization that made decisions for the people.
It held tremendous power and could raise a butcher's knife against local officials and tyrants.
But. . .
After killing those evil people, how could the Buping House, which had power and power, guarantee that it would not become a new evil person?
After killing the dragon, the brave dragon slayers would often lower their heads in front of the dragon's treasure. Dragon scales would grow all over their bodies, revealing sharp fangs, turning into a new dragon.
This was the weakness of human nature, and it was also a type of reincarnation. Wherever there were people, there would be oppression, and wherever there was oppression, there would be resistance. However, when the old oppressors were overthrown by the rebels, those who had the power to resist would often be lost in the game of power and become new oppressors.
"What Miss said is the most important part of the Compendium of Buping House, and that is. . . The law of oneself. "
Sun Zhi replied in a deep voice, and with a serious expression, he said: "Our Lord Chu Yun once said that human nature is multifarious. Sometimes it is beautiful, sometimes warm, sometimes ugly, and sometimes greedy.
Many people with firm beliefs. With a pure heart, one can travel very far in the cold darkness alone, ignoring all the temptations and threats along the way. Such qualities are precious and worth learning, but we can't place our hopes on all the members of Buping House who are like this.
Therefore, Lord Chu Yun set a strict regulation.
All the branches and managers of Buping House would take turns every two years. No matter how good his current political achievements were, he had to leave two years later and go to a new branch.
Under this kind of rotation system, it could be said that the local forces were completely eliminated. There was no possibility of forming a party with the management of the Buping House.
At the same time, in Buping House, there was an internal investigation system. Similarly, it accepted complaints and reports from anyone. Once a member of Buping House violated the law and did something that he shouldn't have done, he would be severely punished.
Lord Chu Yun once said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. It is impossible for us to form a completely clean organization. That is unrealistic. People rely on their hot blood to walk to the end of their lives. Many people will not be able to resist the temptation and will lower their heads in greed.
What we need to do is to eliminate the possibility of our members being corrupted under the strict rules and regulations. We need to try our best to maintain the purity of Buping House. That is all. "
“. . . ”
Lo Qingcheng looked at Sun Zhi. When the latter said those words, his eyes were flashing with zealous sparks.
When mentioning the words' Lord Chu Yun ', there was even an endless sense of gratitude and worship. Not all the members of Buping House looked at Chu Yun like that, but Sun Zhi was different.
He was a person who had eaten bitter porridge in Cangnan Domain.
. . .
To Lo Qingcheng, this lower realm had brought her a different kind of experience.
Originally, she only wanted to take Yang Xiaochan's mother and return immediately.
But now. . .
She had developed a strong interest in Buping House and the people who founded it.
After leaving Liufeng City, Lo Qingcheng asked Sun Zhi about the location of the Jinxia City. After that, she brought Yang Xiaochan along and rushed towards the direction of the Celestial Secret Dynasty's capital.
They did not travel at full speed. Instead, they walked and stopped. Every time they passed by a huge city, Lo Qingcheng would stay there for a while to see what the Buping House branch was doing.
The result was that without exception, every Buping House branch in every huge city was busy cleaning up. Since the establishment of the branch, there had been a lot of complaints and reports from the people. They would not show any mercy to any local corrupt officials, regardless of their identity and background.
Lo Qingcheng had even made a move. She had secretly intercepted a powerful city lord and had the members of Buping House catch him.
It was the same everywhere.
Even though it was just a hurried passerby, Lo Qingcheng could feel that a new era was about to unfold on this land.
This made Lo Qingcheng start to reflect on herself.1
In the past, when she was touring those mortal kingdoms, when she saw corruption and the things that happened to the people, Lo Qingcheng instinctively felt angry, so she swept away those corrupt officials. But after the reincarnation, the new officials would go on the stage and continue to repeat the mistakes of her predecessor.
At that time, Lo Qingcheng was doubting whether human nature was really like this.
Could it be that there was really no hope?
But. . .
In the Buping House, Lo Qingcheng saw something else. It was the rule that restricted human nature.
From the root of the system, it stopped the Dragon Slayer from becoming the evil dragon's chain of cause and effect.
The positions of those corrupt officials who were killed were vacant. Naturally, someone had to make up for it. However, the successors of these officials were not members of Buping House. In fact, many of them were not even martial artists.
Instead. . .
Scholars.
In a world where martial arts were respected, a scholar was actually in a very awkward position.
They read well. The biggest way out was to go under the rule of a city lord and be an advisor. Speaking of which, it sounded very nice to be a strategist. But in fact, it was the role of cleaning up the mess of the city lord.
The best way out of politics was to go to some forces or chambers of commerce and do some accounting. In short, it could not be put on the table.
The truly important positions had always been held by powerful martial artists.
But. . .
After Emperor Yongping ascended the throne, he changed this situation.
He listened to Chu Yun's suggestion and abolished the rule of the strong ruling everything. He then appointed some scholars as officials.
In Chu Yun's opinion, the strong were respected in this world. The principle of ruling everything was wrong in itself.
In the positions of governing the people's livelihood, what was needed was not a martial artist who could blow up a mountain with a single punch, but a scholar whose heart was tied to the world.
Whether a city lord could properly govern a place did not depend on whether he was powerful or not, but whether his field of vision was open or whether his thoughts were agile.
As for powerful warriors, they only needed to display their strengths and stay in the Buping House. As the Heavenly Eye that supervised all the officials, it was also a sharp sword that deterred all directions.
The Imperial Court did not force the innocent officials who were not sentenced to leave their posts. Instead, they encouraged them to study and learn.
Every two years, the Imperial Court would evaluate the 100 officials' political achievements. If any political achievement did not meet the standards, regardless of whether he was a scholar or a traditional martial artist, he would be stripped of his post.
This seemed to be targeted at those innocent martial artists and officials, but in reality, it was not the case. This was because the officials were unwilling to harm the common people. A clean and clean official was a good official. Even if he had not studied before, just based on his years of actual management experience, he was still a good official. It was not something that could be compared with some dead scholars.
What the Imperial Court truly cared about was not whether the officials were studying or not, but whether the officials could manage the place well and ensure peace.
