Chapter 110 Children only choose, adults I want all [10000,
The reason why Min Si didn't plan to tell Ning Chen that she wanted to start a holy path was because she didn't want Ning Chen to bear too much psychological burden.
Min Si sighed and said, "You are already more talented than me on the farm road, so I stand in front of you. This is what I should do as an elder.
You should know better than me. If the farm roads can be opened, what will it mean to all the people in the world? What will it mean to the human race?"
"It is precisely because I understand the significance of farm roads that I feel even more
Aunt Min should take the farm road after me.
I can't get through, can I use another one?
But is Aunt Min willing to change lanes?"
Min Si didn't say anything, but the answer was obvious.
"Aunt Min, this matter is settled. Aunt Min, don't worry, I am very confident in opening the farm road." Ning Chen said with the last word.
Seeing that he could not dissuade Ning Chen, Min Si could only say:
"Wait for me here, and I'll get you my manuscripts.
Add my manuscript to your understanding of farming.
Even if you may not be able to see the Holy Gate, there should be no problem in passing through the fifth heaven gate."
"Thank you Aunt Min." Ning Chen bowed his hands respectfully and thanked her.
This must be done respectfully.
These manuscripts of Min Si have not yet been completed into books.
Therefore, whoever writes this thing first in Haoran Zhengqi's book belongs to him.
Min Si is willing to take it out and give it to herself first. This is no longer just a matter of trust.
Of course, Ning Chen didn't plan to use Min Si's manuscript, because Ning Chen's reputation points were about to arrive.
After two days of fermentation in Dibao, Ning Chen has now accumulated nearly three million [loyalty].
This translates to more than 30,000 reputation points.
It was more than 10,000 than I had expected, more than three times.
With so many reputation points, Ning Chen can definitely use a big move.
Soon Min Si moved all his manuscripts and books accumulated over the years, which were as tall as a person, to Ning Chen alone.
Ning Chen didn't expect that there were so many manuscripts, so he quickly went up to receive them.
By the way, he glanced at Liu Zhongzhi, who was standing straight to the side with no intention of moving.
This senior brother is hopeless.
"Aunt Min, there are so many, why don't you say something, I'll just go over and get them." Ning Chen said very apologetically after taking the manuscript.
"There are still some inside, I'll go get them again." Min Si said, rubbing his shoulders.
It is true that Min Si is of the sixth rank, but the sixth rank of Confucianism is still incomparable to the physical strength of a martial artist.
Moreover, Min Si is not a Confucius priest. For these books, he will directly perform a star-changing show for you.
"Senior brother, go help Aunt Min move it together." Ning Chen said to Liu Zhongzhi.
Liu Zhongzhi said bluntly: "This is her handwriting. I cannot turn it over without permission. A saint's words are wrong..."
Ning Chen directly interrupted Liu Zhongzhi and said to Min Si: "Aunt Min, I'll go get it with you."
After the two people left, Liu Zhongzhi still didn't feel at all that he had done anything wrong.
After Ning Chen and Min Si went over, he directly put all of Min Si's manuscripts and books into his own life stone.
"Aunt Min, I took these with me, but I suggest you write it in a book first. I am very confident in my ability to open farm roads.
Not to mention that you can see the Holy Gate, but you can still pass through the sixth or seventh Heavenly Gate." Ning Chen said to Ning Chen while following Min Si back.
Now that the matter had been decided, Min Si no longer struggled with Ning Chen and nodded directly in agreement.
"You still owe me a saint-level agricultural poem." Min Si reminded Ning Chen.
Ning Chen patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Min. I remember this. When I practice it for you on the winter solstice, I will give it to Aunt Min as well."
Min Si's iconic aunt smiled and said to Ning Chen: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
The two of them returned to the main hall of Baijia College talking and laughing. Ning Chen looked at Liu Zhongzhi who was still standing like a pacesetter.
I really don’t know how to help my senior brother.
It's just a pity that my senior brother's lifelong wish to be buried with others will never come true.
After leaving the Imperial College, Ning Chen went home directly.
After arriving home, Ning Chen also took out Min Si's manuscript and read it carefully.
Although Ning Chen is a plagiarist, it does not mean that Ning Chen has no culture at all.
After taking a closer look, Ning Chen found that Min Si really deserved the word "everyone."
In Ning Chen's opinion, many of the agricultural concepts in Min Si's manuscripts were really advanced.
For example, the prototypes of compost and fire fertilizer can be found in Min Si's manuscripts.
Ning Chen even found a method that Min Si said could double the output.
Ning Chen was shocked after seeing Min Si's idea.
Min Si's idea is to select the best-growing rice from the upper, middle and lower fields as seeds for the coming year.
But instead of planting back into the original field, they plant crosswise.
Plant the best growth from the lower-grade fields into the middle- and upper-grade fields. The same goes for the middle-grade fields and the upper-grade fields.
Ning Chen felt that if Min Si followed this idea, it would be possible to produce hybrid rice.
Ning Chen must say, Aunt Min yyds!
By the time Ning Chen finished reading all the manuscripts, it was already evening.
Lanxiang Pavilion was sealed, and Ning Chen had no place to go for the time being.
I can only make do with it at home for one night.
The most important thing is to take a rest tomorrow. I don’t know what I will do tomorrow.
"Forget it, go to bed first, wait until the reputation points are settled tomorrow, and then think about other things."
Ning Chen, who wanted to take a nap the next day, was woken up early in the morning by the sound of Zheng Da's morning exercises.
Ning Chen, wearing single clothes, came to the courtyard and looked at Zheng Da, who was whistling and laughing there.
Ning Chen really felt that Zheng Da's speed was slow enough.
He entered the eighth level of martial arts at the same time as Zheng Da.
But now that he has reached the seventh stage of Qi Transformation, Zheng Da is still tempering his muscles, bones and skin.
"I asked you, are you a little too slow? If you practice like this every day, when will you reach the seventh level?" Ning Chen teased Zheng Da, whose muscles were bulging.
Zheng Da put down the stone lock, panted like a bellows and said: "If you had worked half as hard as I have, I'm afraid you would be at the sixth level of martial arts by now."
"Sir, I am just afraid that I will push you too far away, so I am waiting for you at the seventh level."
As Ning Chen spoke, his feet did not move, and his body stretched and fell backwards.
Almost at the same time that Xia Zhu fell down with the basin, he hugged Xia Zhu with one hand and held the copper basin with the other.
Before Xia Zhu could react, Ning Chen drew a circle again and turned Xia Zhu and the copper basin in front of him.
This is the ability of the Qi Transformation Realm.
The energy is transformed into the whole body, and the body can make any movement that goes against common sense of physics.
At the same time, the five senses of the body have been developed to a great extent.
The pinnacle sign of Qi transformation is that the Jin Qi can be dissolved into the blood, and the two mix to become the most yang and strong Qi and blood.
Qi and blood travel throughout the body, the body is improved in all aspects, and the combat effectiveness can be directly doubled.
Xia Zhu waited until he stood firm before he remembered that he should let out a exclamation.
"Are your reactions slower than Zheng Da's?" Looking at Xia Zhu who opened his mouth and exclaimed, Ning Chen rubbed his ears and said.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xia Zhu shut up and said with a shy look, "Thank you, sir."
After saying this, Xia Zhu did not forget to give Zheng Da a fierce look and said: "It was all Zheng Da who caused this, you see, the ground was all uneven because of his steps.
Otherwise, how could I have been thrown down?"
"Sir, I can't control my power properly now, and I didn't do it on purpose." Zheng Da quickly explained to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen saw that Xia Zhu wanted to refute Zheng Da, so he interrupted Xia Zhu and said, "Okay, it is indeed a bit difficult for him at this stage. After all, he is not a martial artist, but he is as talented as your lord.
You go to Dongmei to collect some money, and find some craftsmen to come back and repair the areas that need to be repaired.
In addition, let them open a small yard behind Zheng Dana’s house so that he can practice there in the future.”
After a pause, Ning Chen said to Zheng Da: "If you need any other medicinal materials or equipment, tell Xia Zhu and ask Xia Zhu to buy them for you."
Ning Chen is now a rich man, so naturally he will no longer treat his sincere servants badly.
"Sir, I can buy it myself." Zheng Da glanced at the aggressive Xia Zhu and said to Ning Chen.
"Now that Fatty Wan won't buy medicine, I'll ask you to buy it yourself.
Do you think your family’s current wealth is strong enough?
If I let you go alone, my little wealth will allow you to be deceived.
If you want anything, just tell Xia Zhu directly." Ning Chen said to Zheng Da angrily.
Xia Zhu was also on the side, covering her mouth and giggling: "What you said is absolutely true.
I asked him to buy rice two days ago. Not to mention the quantity was missing, but I gave him too much money.
If Dongmei hadn't gone to find him later, he would have revealed his name.
We will lose a lot of money."
Mr. Zheng blushed and said, "That's because that person is a profiteer."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Then do you think that businessman is not a traitor?"
Zheng Da was speechless.
"Okay, if you need anything, just tell Xia Zhu. She will go shopping and she will naturally bring back what you want."
After finishing speaking, Ning Chen said to Xia Zhu: "Remember to bring my waistband. Let's go shopping. We don't want to take advantage of others, but we can't be cheated either."
Xia Zhu simply agreed.
Just when Ning Chen felt that today's Xiu Mu was going to be a boring time teasing four little girls.
Sun Feilan actually came over.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen this little fan in a long time.
The key is that since we are in two departments, it is really difficult to have any intersection.
Although occasionally Sun Feilan would come over to prevent Zheng Da and the evil slave from bullying the master.
But now that Ning Chen is at the seventh level, this reason obviously doesn't work very well.
Just when Sun Feilan was about to say hello, Ning Chen saw that behind Sun Feilan, there were two police officers from the Six Gates following him.
I saw three people coming, they were obviously here for official business.
"Sun Feilan, the leader of the Six Gates, has met Mr. Lang Ning, the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, the Minister of Rites and the Right Minister of the Ministry of War."
The etiquette system of the Dawu Dynasty and formal occasions required all official positions to be mentioned first.
Ning Chen feels that he doesn't hold many concurrent jobs now. If he can hold part-time jobs in all six departments in the future, he will probably be called an official for half a day.
What's more, even now, Sun Feilan has also missed his official position in the staff department.
But as a martial artist, that’s understandable.
"Why did Capt. Sun come to see me today?" Ning Chen asked Sun Feilan seriously after complaining.
Sun Feilan raised his head and said with a serious face: "I came to see you today about a murder case."
"Homicide?"
Ning Chen never thought that he would be involved in the murder case.
"Who died?" Ning Chen asked.
Sun Feilan replied: "The peasant family under the rule of the Zhu family in Luanzhou studied righteousness, Wu Zhengtang."
"Wu Zhengtang is dead?" Ning Chen couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.
This guy is actually dead.
And he died before the Zhu family planned to open a farm road.
Is this death weird enough?
But he is dead, so why come here to find him?
Do you still doubt that you killed him?
"Why is it that since he died, do you suspect that I killed him?" Ning Chen asked expressionlessly.
After hearing this, Sun Feilan quickly explained: "That's not the case, sir. We are just following the rules and investigating all stakeholders."
After hearing what Sun Feilan said, Ning Chen couldn't help but sneered: "This is really funny.
He, a private scholar with no fame or rank, died.
But they want to investigate me, a high-ranking official of the imperial court.
When did the fifth-rank officials of the imperial court become so worthless?
Anyone who dies can come and investigate.
That day, I met a wild dog on the road.
As a result, the wild dog died the next day.
Do I also want to cooperate in investigating the cause of death of the wild dog?"
Sun Feilan quickly explained: "My lord, this is not the case. This time it is just because of the special status of the person who died."
Ning Chen interrupted Sun Feilan and said:
"Special status? Aren't you just a lackey of the Semi-Holy Family?
They are all dogs, why is this dog so valuable?
Or, in your opinion, this dog is very valuable.
Gold is so valuable that I, a fifth-grade official,
recognized by saints,
The man who founded hundreds of colleges,
I have to cooperate with you in investigating the cause of death of a dog!"
Sun Feilan bit her lip and said with difficulty: "Sir, please don't make things difficult for us. We are also following orders."
Ning Chen snorted coldly and said: "I'm not making things difficult for you, but you are making things difficult for me now?
I really don't know whether Jing Zhaoyin is from the Dawu Dynasty or from the Zhu family.
What exactly are your six doors..."
When Ning Chen said this, he met Sun Feilan's big, tearful, red eyes.
Seeing Sun Feilan like this, Ning Chen couldn't be aggressive anymore and waved his hand directly:
"Forget it, I know this has nothing to do with you.
You guys go to Cao Xing and ask Cao Xing to tell me what's going on?
If Cao Xing doesn't come, I won't go anywhere today.
Even if this lawsuit goes to His Majesty, I will still not cooperate."
"Master Cao is in the sedan outside the door. I'm going to call him right now." Sun Feilan said quickly after hearing Ning Chen's words.
"When did Lao Cao learn bad things?" Ning Chen couldn't help but cursed secretly when he heard Sun Feilan's words.
Soon Cao Xing, led by Sun Feilan, entered the courtyard.
Looking at the expressionless Ning Chen, Cao Xing also walked a few steps closer and whispered:
"Master Ning, there is nothing I can do about it.
How about we change places and I can tell you the details."
Ning Chen stopped Cao Xing and said expressionlessly:
"No, just let me explain it clearly."
After saying that, Ning Chen told Xia Zhu who had not left yet: "Prepare some tea and send it to the tea room. There will be no need for refreshments."
Xia Zhu glanced at Sun Feilan and the others and said, "Your Excellency hasn't had breakfast yet. I'll send you breakfast to the tea room as well."
Ning Chen nodded: "That's fine. If there's a lawsuit, you can't go to trial on an empty stomach."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Cao Xing subconsciously touched his belly.
My stomach is empty now.
I came out early in the morning just to avoid crowds of people and came over to find Ning Chen before dawn, intending to talk about this matter.
Ning Chen turned around and glanced at Sun Feilan, whose big eyes were dim, and ordered Xia Zhu: "The three of them on duty will prepare three portions of meals and send them over.
Their job is nothing more than to carry out the orders of their superiors.
Get some more [humble rooms] to keep them warm."
"Thank you, Master Ning."
When the two detectives following Sun Feilan heard Ning Chen's instructions, they quickly raised their hands and thanked him.
It should be said that they have handled a lot of cases.
This is the first time I have encountered a master who prepares food for the following policemen and leaves Shangguan hungry.
This is considered a great experience for them.
Cao Xing saw it and understood what was going on.
He immediately said to Sun Feilan: "Captain Sun, you and I will stay here. You two go to the concierge to wait."
"It's my lord."
Ning Chen also said to Xia Zhu, "Send the wine and food to the concierge."
"Yes, sir." Xia Zhu also responded.
After the two catchers left, Ning Chen and the other three went to the teahouse.
Zheng Da followed silently into the tea room.
If you dare to touch my family, I will fight you to the death.
Facing Zheng Da, Sun Feilan felt that she was very weak for the first time.
Because this time, she was not here to protect Ning Chen.
Ning Chen glanced at Cao Xing, who was looking at him for help, and turned to Zheng Dadao: "You go outside and wait."
"It's my lord."
Zheng Da left without forgetting to reveal a fierce look on his face and the scars on his arms.
He said that he crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and was not afraid of risking his life at all.
"Master Ning's servant is really loyal." Cao Xing said without any words.
Ning Chen glanced at Cao Xing and said, "I treat them sincerely, and they will naturally protect me with their lives."
Cao Xing also heard that there was something in Ning Chen's words.
Whether it was the previous exams or Sun Jia’s case later.
Ning Chen can be regarded as helping Cao Xing.
Ning Chen was definitely a gift to Cao Xing.
Now that he can secure the position of Jing Zhaoyin, Ning Chen is kind to him.
Mentioning this, Cao Xing also smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ning, do you think I want to wade into this muddy water?"
Just as Cao Xing was talking, Xia Zhu and the others came over to serve tea.
Cao Xing and Sun Feilan only had tea, but Ning Chen had plenty.
In addition to the fragrant tea, there are also various refreshments, and there are more than a dozen kinds of breakfast.
This made Cao Xing, who was hungry, very uncomfortable.
"You four should go out first," Ning Chen said to the four Xia Zhus.
Xia Zhu and the four of them nodded, not forgetting to threaten Cao Xing and the two of them.
Ning Chen glanced at Kazilan's big-eyed Sun Feilan, who was standing next to Cao Xing, looking aggrieved.
He waved directly to Sun Feilan: "You see what you want to eat, just get it yourself."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Sun Feilan's eyes turned into crescent moons when she saw her idol.
Sun Feilan walked directly to Ning Chen, and Ning Chen moved to the side to make room for Sun Feilan.
Sun Feilan knelt down and sat next to Ning Chen obediently.
"What do you like to eat?" Ning Chen asked Sun Feilan.
"That." Sun Feilan said, pointing to the crystal steamed buns not far away.
Ning Chen took it and put it in front of Sun Feilan: "It's a bit hot, be careful."
Sun Feilan nodded like a little hamster, lightly opened her red lips, blew on the steamed bun, and then stuffed the whole dumpling into her mouth.
The xiaolongbao is not big, but Sun Feilan's mouth and face are not big either.
So the whole thing was stuffed in, making Sun Feilan look more like a hamster.
Ning Chen pushed his tea next to Sun Feilan and said with a smile: "Slow down, no one will compete with you."
Cao Xing looked on and felt his stomach was getting worse, but mentally he felt a little nauseous.
"Master Cao, where have we talked?" Ning Chen raised his head and asked Cao Xing.
Cao Xing glanced at Sun Feilan, who was enjoying his meal, and turned his eyes away from the food, and then said to Ning Chen: "Master Ning, I don't want to go into this muddy water."
"But Lord Ning, there's nothing I can do about it."
"After all, a person died, right?"
"Normally, this kind of thing should be investigated directly by the Ministry of Punishment."
"But you also know, my lord, that although those in the Criminal Department do not make cliques.
But if something happens, they will protect themselves wisely."
"And the person who died is indeed considered a matter under Jing Zhaoyin.
He has no fame or rank.
The Ministry of Punishment said it was not under their control, but I couldn’t say anything.”
"So I can only bite the bullet and investigate this matter."
After hearing Cao Xing's bitter words, Ning Chen still said with a cold face: "But even if this is the case, the matter can't be traced to me.
Shouldn't you catch the murderer first?
With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to catch the murderer."
Cao Xing glanced at Sun Feilan, who had eaten all the steamed dumplings, swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Ning, the murderer has been caught."
"The murderer has been caught, why do you still come to me?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
Cao Xing said: "But the murderer is dead."
After a pause, Cao Xing added:
"The key is that now the Zhu family says that the murderer stole the manuscript of Zhu Jia Nongdao.
This may affect the Zhu family's opening of farm roads.
So this matter will be difficult to deal with now, once the matter rises to the level of establishing the holy path.
I don’t think it will work if I don’t check it out clearly.”
After Ning Chen heard what Cao Xing said, he immediately understood the content.
How Wu died is obviously not important now.
The important thing is that the Zhu family said that the man named Wu brought the manuscript of the Zhu family's plan to open a farm road.
This is very clever.
The Zhu family wanted to open a farm road, so the Zhu family could naturally guess that Ning Chen might also open a farm road.
Let's all drive together.
There is a question of sequence.
The one who opens first will naturally have the advantage.
So the Zhu family came up with a trick to throw dirty water.
Don't you want to prove your innocence?
Then you wait until I open the farm road, and then you open the farm road again.
If you can open it then, it proves that you have nothing to do with my manuscript.
But in this case, it was because the Zhu family had the upper hand.
Therefore, the farm road opened behind Ning Chen was naturally shorter.
Of course, unless it's the farm roads opened by Ning Chen and others, they can surpass the Zhu family's farm roads in quality.
In this case, the last attack will come first, and the Zhu family's farm road will naturally be suppressed.
But is this likely?
At least in the eyes of the Zhu family, this possibility is unlikely.
It can even be said to be very small.
What the Zhu family is currently guarding against is Min Si, who can open a farm road of the same quality as their Zhu family.
If Min Si takes the lead, they will be left behind.
Although they did not see Min Si's manuscript, there were some things Min Si said in court.
Of course they already knew.
In this way, they have reason to suspect that Minsi's farm roads can be equal to theirs.
That's why the scene like this happened now.
If you want to prove your innocence, then act later.
But there are inherent shortcomings in holding meetings afterwards.
If you open first and you don't surpass my Zhu family, it means you haven't stolen enough.
The fact that you surpassed the Zhu family means that you copied enough, but you just opened it first and took advantage of it.
As for you trying to explain this matter clearly, it's very, very difficult.
If I really can't explain this kind of thing clearly, there are ten thousand ways to make it unclear.
"Have the Semi-Saint Family been so dirty?" Ning Chen said with a frown.
In Ning Chen's opinion, the dignified Semi-Saint family should not bother to do this kind of dirty work.
The second level of Confucianism and Taoism is a semi-sage.
In the entire nearly 10,000-year history of Confucianism and Taoism, there was only one Confucian sage who was superior.
There is only one first-grade sub-sage, Meng Sheng.
Even if they are semi-saints, there are only a dozen of them in ten thousand years of history.
Even if there are some reclusive semi-saints, it is probably difficult for them to exceed thirty at most.
Therefore, the status of the semi-sage Zhu family is really high among the entire Confucianism and Taoism.
If we talk about the orthodoxy of Confucianism and Taoism, the Zhu family is definitely more representative of the orthodoxy of Confucianism and Taoism than Yunshan Academy.
The reason why everyone knows more about Yunshan Academy now is mainly because the founder of Yunshan Academy was the last Confucian semi-sage.
This Confucian half-sage of the previous dynasty directly relied on hard-line tactics.
The Zhu family was unwilling to cooperate with him in co-founding a college and spreading Confucianism and Taoism as a semi-holy family.
They all rushed to the north and founded Yunshan Academy alone to spread the holy words of Confucianism and Taoism.
It is also because of this that the reputation of these semi-holy families is not as loud as that of Yunshan Academy.
After all, they are so far apart and so much time has passed, so it is normal for their reputation to weaken.
However, since the former half-sage died in battle, Confucianism has not seen a half-sage for thousands of years.
But it would be very difficult for semi-holy families like the Zhu family to take over the Central Plains.
But no matter what, Ning Chen felt that it was inappropriate for the Zhu family to play so dirty.
In the history of the human race, every half-saint of the human race died in bloody battles for the human race.
These semi-saints are the heroes who continue the human race.
But their descendants did these things,
It is a complete disgrace to the reputation of their ancestors.
Cao Xing looked at Ning Chen and said: "Master Ning, whether you are dirty or not, I think the main thing is whether the benefits are big enough."
Ning Chen asked back: "According to what Mr. Cao said, if the benefits are big enough, they can also sell the secrets of the human race to the barbarians and monsters?"
Cao Xing said nothing, but Ning Chen already knew the answer.
Obviously, such a thing was not something Ning Chen thought was possible, but it actually happened.
Think about it, the story of Marquis Dingguo.
Think again, after Dingguo Hou Yijin returned home, he directly destroyed the three clans.
Ning Chen realized that the question he just asked was a bit out of place and a bit childish.
"There are more such things between humans and monsters, and there are only very few cases with barbarians." Cao Xing felt that he should explain it to Ning Chen.
After all, Ning Chen had only been an official for two years. Cao Xing felt that Ning Chen should not see so much of the dark side.
Ning Chen took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality and said to Cao Xing: "Mr. Cao, let's not talk about this issue anymore, let's go back to the Zhu family. It's just a matter of opening a holy way. Is the Zhu family really worth using such dirty methods?
?”
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Cao Xing did not answer Ning Chen's question directly, but asked Ning Chen: "Can Master Ning see any changes in me?"
Ning Chen stared at Cao Xing and said, "My face is a little whiter and my hair seems to be missing a little. Could it be that I have kidney deficiency?"
Cao Xing:>_
"Master Ning, do you think there has been any change in my cultivation?" Cao Xing asked the question more straightforwardly.
Ning Chen sensed the concentration of the awe-inspiring righteousness released by Cao Xing.
His eyes couldn't help but light up.
"When did Master Cao get promoted to the sixth rank?"
Ning Chen remembered that when he met Cao Xing before, Cao Xing was only a seventh-level scholar.
In just a short time, Cao Xing was promoted to the sixth rank.
"Legalist?!"
Ning Chen looked at the silent Cao Xing and asked.
Cao Xing nodded: "Master Ning guessed it right, I followed the path of Legalism."
Cao Xing was in Dali Temple before, and later came to Jing Zhaoyin.
He has always been a law enforcer.
And just Ning Chen watched Cao Xing’s exam class.
All of Cao Xing's law enforcement process has no flaws except for the harsh punishment.
Regarding the law, Cao Xing can be said to have his own set of understandings.
Now that Marquis Dingguo has opened up the Legalist path to sainthood, Cao Xing has seamlessly connected it, so there is no problem.
"Is the new holy path so easy to follow?" Ning Chen was also a little surprised by this result.
Cao Xing nodded: "It is indeed much easier to walk. The newly opened holy path is already full of holy will. In addition, there are few people walking this road, so I can naturally absorb more holy will.
And these holy thoughts, in turn, feed back what I have learned in my heart.
Naturally, you can improve your own cultivation very easily.
Furthermore, I have accumulated enough knowledge on the Legalist path.
Therefore, once this road was opened, I naturally accomplished it in one go.
And as far as I know, I am not the only one who has made breakthroughs on the path of Legalism.
The Minister of Punishment has broken through the sixth rank and is now the fifth rank.
Some officials in charge of prisons in the state capital below,
Many have made breakthroughs in Legalism."
If Cao Xing said this, then Ning Chen would understand why the Zhu family must play dirty.
The opening of a new holy path means that a large number of masters of this path can emerge in a short period of time.
If it was just speculation before, now that there are living examples like Cao Xing and others, it is no longer speculation.
Since it is not a guess, it is natural to grab this farm road.
That is to say, you can compete with a large number of masters, and you can also take the opportunity to attack and drink wine with Kong yourself.
A great thing that kills two birds with one stone.
"Master Ning, actually this matter may not have been done by the direct line of the Zhu family. It may have been done by the collateral line, or some people who wanted to please the Zhu family."
"As one of the few remaining semi-holy families, the Zhu family's background is still very terrifying."
"There are many people who want to please the Zhu family."
"Whether it's the imperial court or Yunshan Academy, it's impossible to recruit all the Confucian scholars in the world."
"And the opening of the imperial examination system also gave these semi-holy families an opportunity to infiltrate the imperial court, didn't it?"
After Ning Chen waited for Cao Xing to finish speaking, he looked at Cao Xing and kept looking at the breakfast on the table, and said to Cao Xing: "Master Cao, how about we eat something together?"
"That's fine. It just so happens that my mouth is dry as well."
Finally having food to eat, Cao Xing felt happy inside.
Ning Chen asked Xia Zhu and others to come in, gave them instructions, and asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food.
After Xia Zhu and others left, Ning Chen continued to ask Cao Xing: "Master Cao, I already know what happened and the entanglement of interests involved.
But I still don’t know. Mr. Cao, do you want me to cooperate in investigating the cause of this matter?
Can it be that if I cooperate with you in investigating this matter, the suspicion will be cleared?
And I am the real leader of a hundred schools of thought,
Let me cooperate in the investigation of the death of Xuezheng, a farmer under the Baijia family supported by the Zhu family.
Don’t you think this makes me even more disadvantaged?”
Cao Xing said: "Master Ning, I have also considered this matter.
So I came here secretly in the morning,
Are you planning to discuss this with Mr. Ning?"
"What are we discussing?" Ning Chen asked.
Cao Xing said: "Let's discuss it and see, Mr. Ning, whether you intend to protect the holy way or your prestige.
If it is Baoshengdao, Mr. Ning will cooperate with my investigation. I am confident that with Mr. Ning's cooperation, I can clear your suspicion.
When the winter solstice comes, Sir Ning, if you should open the holy way, then open the holy way.
Under the principles of the law, Sir, you can stand firm and your human heart will not be lost."
Ning Chen did not answer Cao Xing's question, but asked Cao Xing: "His Royal Highness Wu Zhao told you that I want to open a farm road on the winter solstice?"
Cao Xing nodded: "When this case happened yesterday, I went to tell His Highness Wu Zhao, after Your Highness told me about your plan to open a farm road.
I roughly know the inside story of this case.
Your Highness, after thinking about it, understands what’s going on here.”
"Then His Highness Wu Zhao asked you to come to me, are you asking me to choose, or are you planning to choose for me?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
It’s a little strange to mention this Cao Xing:
"His Highness neither said to let you choose nor said to choose for you.
His Highness just said that he knew about this matter and let me deal with it impartially and catch the murderer.
It’s because I don’t feel at ease myself, so I came over early to discuss with Mr. Ning what to choose.”
Ning Chen smiled knowingly after hearing Cao Xing's answer.
"It seems that the eldest wife, the empress, still has confidence in me?"
In fact, from Ning Chen's point of view, whether Wu Zhao chooses for him or lets him choose.
That's all a sign of distrust in oneself.
But Wu Zhao didn't mention this at all, which means he has enough confidence in himself.
"Master Cao, there is a saying in our hometown. I think it is more appropriate to apply it to this situation?" Ning Chen said to Cao Xing with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Cao Xing asked quickly.
Ning Chen said with a smile: "People in our hometown say that only children make choices. I want them all as adults!"
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Cao Xing frowned, not understanding what Ning Chen meant.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing understood what Ning Chen wanted to do.
Obviously, Ning Chen didn't want to lose his prestige, but he also didn't want to lose his holy way.
"Master Ning, do you plan to let the Zhu family open the farm road first, and then open the farm road yourself to prove it by surpassing the Zhu family's farm road?"
Ning Chen asked Cao Xing, "Isn't it possible?"
Cao Xing said with some confidence: "This is a good idea, and it is a once and for all solution."
Changing the topic, Cao Xing continued: "It's just that the Zhu family is a semi-holy family after all, and the family background is terrifying.
Even if everyone opens farm roads in a hurry, the Zhu family will probably be more prepared."
Ning Chen said indifferently: "If the Zhu family can really see the Holy Gate as soon as it is opened, then I will admit defeat this time.
But seeing how dirty the Zhu family was playing, they obviously didn't have the confidence to see the Holy Sect in one go.
I estimate that they are at most confident, but it will be difficult for them to cross the sixth or seventh heaven."
Cao Xing nodded: "I think so too."
After listening to Cao Xing's words, Ning Chen asked, "So Master Cao thinks that if I open a farm road, it will be difficult even for the Sixth Heaven?"
Cao Xing waved his hands repeatedly and said: "That's not true. If Lord Ning opens first, I think Lord Ning can at least reach the sixth level. But if he opens later, the difficulty will be doubled."
Ning Chen laughed after hearing what Cao Xing said: "Master Cao, just don't worry. I'm still confident in dealing with the Zhu family. Master Cao, just remember to applaud me when the time comes.
As for the matter of the dead person, Mr. Cao must also investigate it carefully.
After all, a person died, and the hidden story behind it must be investigated clearly."
Mentioning his profession, Cao Xing said seriously: "This is natural. No matter how or why this person died? Now that the case is in my hands, I will naturally not let him die in an unknown way.
"
Once the conversation started, we became good brothers again.
A table full of good wine and good food was quickly set up.
Although Cao Xing is now in the third rank, his life at that time was really not as good as Ning Chen's.
In addition, Cao Xing had strict requirements on himself, at least Wang Lin often went to Wanhua Tower to drink.
Cao Xing has never been there.
Therefore, Cao Xing was full of praise for the skills of Ning Chen's cook.
Although it was not the first time for Sun Feilan to eat from Ning Chen's family, the food was still very delicious.
And as a martial artist, it is normal for you to have a larger appetite.
"Master Cao, in my impression, you are not the kind of person who handles cases. Master Cao, you must have learned too much." Now that the atmosphere was relaxed, Ning Chen could also tease Cao Xing.
Mentioning this matter, Cao Xing's face couldn't help but blush, and he said dryly: "It's funny, I made Master Ning laugh. There's nothing I can do about it. If I came in person, I guess Master Ning wouldn't listen to what I said.
"
Ning Chen smacked Cao Xing's words and felt that this old guy seemed to reflect that he was a pervert.
Of course, what Cao Xing said is not wrong. If Cao Xing was the only one who came here, Ning Chen would not listen to what Cao Xing said.
After all, having a little hamster next to you can make you feel much calmer.
