#548 - Thunderous Rectification

Jun Wuxie looked around and said, "Where are Chan'er and Xiao Xiao?"

"Chan'er dragged Xiao Xiao to the back mountain to play."

Lingfei poured hot tea, put away the jade slip on the table, and said with a smile.

Jun Wuxie sat down at the bluestone table, took a sip of tea, and said, "Has the dynasty been going smoothly during this period? For example, the spirit field matter, have you encountered any problems?"

"It shouldn't be."

Lingfei also sat down and shook her head, saying, "The spirit field matters are all managed by the people appointed by His Majesty. I haven't asked about it for a long time."

"What are you doing standing? Sit down."

Jun Wuxie looked at Mu Yunxi and then at Mu Xuelan.

"You talk first, I have something to say to Yunxi."

Mu Xuelan said, grabbing Mu Yunxi's hand and walking out of the small courtyard towards the back mountain.

Mu Yunxi wanted to say something but stopped, wanting to struggle but ultimately not struggling, letting Mu Xuelan pull her forward.

"Is she the Holy Maiden Mu Yunxi of Bingyun Tower?"

Qin Keqing and Su Lan both showed shocked expressions.

Jun Wuxie withdrew his gaze from their backs and nodded: "Yes, and she and Xuelan are mother and daughter..."

Instantly, Qin Keqing and Su Lan opened their mouths wide, unable to speak for a long time.

Even Lingfei was stunned, seemingly not expecting the two to have such a relationship.

She had just noticed that Mu Xuelan seemed a little off, and thought they were master and disciple, who would have thought it was… mother and daughter?

"Young Master, why do you have such a taste?"

Su Lan blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

"Hmph, I knew you were a big pervert, taking in mother and daughter together, how exciting is that?"

Qin Keqing felt less pressure in her heart and became cheerful, teasing him with a blushing face.

"What does it matter if they are mother and daughter? The cultivation world doesn't care about these things."

Lingfei said nonchalantly, but in fact, she was still a little surprised in her heart.

"It's not what you think..." Jun Wuxie twitched his lips twice and said, "I didn't know about their relationship before. I met Yunxi in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm. At that time, I knew very little about Bingyun Tower, let alone the relationship between them."

"Young Master, you don't need to explain ~" Su Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "This pair of mother and daughter flowers are devastatingly beautiful, peerless in the world, even under the entire starry sky, they can be ranked in the top ten, it's better to benefit Young Master than to benefit others."

"You're getting more and more outrageous!"

Jun Wuxie was very speechless, he was annoyed now.

Looking at Mu Xuelan's reaction, she seemed to be angry.

"Sister Su Lan, it's not really what you think."

Seeing that Jun Wuxie was a little unhappy, Qin Keqing explained, "Bingyun Tower is very special. They pass down their lineage through the blood of women, never marrying in their lives, nor do they have contact with men. They use their own essence and blood to place within the Ice Cloud Heart to nurture offspring, without the reality of childbirth."

"Is that so?" Su Lan was a little disappointed and said, "Then the sense of taboo is not so strong. What I want is that kind of feeling."

Jun Wuxie: …

This woman, since following him, has become more and more daring. What kind of tiger and wolf words are these?

Qin Keqing and Lingfei both glared at her with shame and annoyance.

At this moment, footsteps came from her ears.

Jun Wuxie turned his head and looked over, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Wine Grandpa?"

He got up to greet him, and saw Wine Grandpa holding a little girl's hand, walking unsteadily, with a pacifier in her mouth, curiously looking at him with her watery eyes.

"Wuxie, this is your junior sister, Fanyin."

Wine Grandpa said, and then said to Little Fanyin, "Aren't you clamoring to see your Sect Master Senior Brother every day? He is your senior brother."

"Eeya ~ Senior Brother ya ~" Little Fanyin sucked on her pacifier, then made a giggling laugh, holding her pacifier, and wobbled towards Jun Wuxie, opening her small arms: "Senior Brother, hug hug ya ~"

Jun Wuxie's mouth twitched, he really didn't expect that Wine Grandpa would find such a young disciple back, and give her a seniority equal to his, inexplicably having a milk doll junior sister…

Seeing her running over, Jun Wuxie was afraid that she would fall, so he quickly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.

Little Fanyin's round eyes curiously looked at him, and as she looked, she chuckled, loosened her mouth from the pacifier, handed the pacifier to Jun Wuxie's mouth, and said in a milky voice: "Senior Brother, eat nenen ~"

"Cough, Senior Brother doesn't eat, Little Fanyin eats."

Little Fanyin pouted her little mouth, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and said with a pout, "Senior Brother doesn't like Junior Sister ya ~"

"Like, you are the junior sister, how can I not like you?"

He smiled and pinched her pink little face.

"Then Senior Brother eat nenen ~"

Little Fanyin stubbornly sent the pacifier to his mouth, this was her treasure, she wanted to share her treasure with Senior Brother, so that Senior Brother would love her even more.

"I eat, I eat..."

Jun Wuxie's face turned green, he endured the discomfort and embarrassment in his heart, sucked on the pacifier and took a sip.

He felt that everyone here was staring at him, and he felt indescribably embarrassed and his face was burning.

"Senior Brother is the best ~"

Little Fanyin's eyes narrowed with laughter, kissed him on the face, and then hugged the pacifier and said to Lingfei and the others: "Senior Sisters, you also have to give Senior Brother eat nenen oh ~"

Pfft!

Jun Wuxie almost spat it out immediately.

Lingfei, Qin Keqing, and Su Lan suddenly turned red, so ashamed that they couldn't wait to find a place to burrow into.

"This child…"

Wine Grandpa quickly hugged Little Fanyin and took her away as she struggled.

Jun Wuxie was embarrassed for a while in place, looking at the direction of the Sect Hall, and said: "Our Immortal Execution Sword Sect seems to have many cute little ones?"

"Yes, they are the children that Nalan Jie and the others found. They are all between three and six years old. Ancestor personally selected nine, four girls and five boys, to be your personal disciples. Young Master, as a master, do you want to go see them?"

"They are cultivating, I won't disturb them. By the way, has there been any movement from Bingyun Tower recently?"

"Yes."

Lingfei sighed and said, "The current situation of Bingyun Tower is not very good. Starting half a month after Young Master went to Binhai Ancient Town, people have been harassing the people of Bingyun Tower outside from time to time, verbally molesting them, and even beating them. Later, some people even went to the sect to provoke them. After many confrontations, Bingyun Tower was at a disadvantage."

"What is the situation of Bingyun Tower now?"

"The situation is very bad. The people of Bingyun are basically blocked in the sect and dare not go out. All of their industries have been eaten away, and now even their position in Jubaozhai is not guaranteed."

"Which forces are involved?"

"Holy Gate, Kaitian Sword Sect, Guhuang Sect, and also the Pudu Temple of the Western Desert Buddhist Sect."

"Pudu Temple?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned. The monks of Pudu Temple actually participated in this kind of thing. What do they want to do?

"Yes, I specifically investigated it. There are two major factions in Pudu Temple, one is the Vajra Zen Sect, and the other is the Joyous Zen Sect. The one involved in this matter is the Joyous Zen Sect."

"So it's the Joyous Zen Sect. Isn't the Joyous Zen a lineage of the Esoteric Sect? How did they form a Buddhist sect together with the Vajra Zen Sect?"

Jun Wuxie was really surprised. Joyous Zen, a group of lewd monks, no wonder they wanted to target Bingyun Tower.

The women of Bingyun Tower, each with ice muscle and jade bones, are the best cauldrons for dual cultivation and extraction. The Joyous Zen Sect will of course be tempted.

"Recently, several Holy Sects of Bingyun Tower have been severely injured, and their Gan Yu guardians have also been injured. Now they can only rely on the sect's great formation to hold on. Outside Bingyun Tower, many experts from the Holy Gate, Kaitian Sword Sect, Guhuang Sect, and Joyous Zen Sect have gathered."

"They issued a final notice to Bingyun Tower some time ago, giving Bingyun Tower one month to consider whether to submit. The condition for submission is that each of them will provide a total of 10,000 disciples and high-level members every three years to be their concubines. If Bingyun Tower does not agree, they will take down the entire Bingyun Tower and capture all the hundreds of thousands of women in Bingyun Tower and ravage them!"

"Young Master, should we take action to help Bingyun Tower resolve this crisis?"

Lingfei sighed and said, "Now that the world's environment has changed drastically, those forces are even more eager and want to quickly improve their strength. Extracting the women of Bingyun Tower is one way for them to improve their realm. If we don't take action, I'm afraid..."

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of Bingyun Tower. I have my own plans in mind."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he said again: "Now you start preparing to select talents in Da Zhou. I need a large number of talents to manage Da Zhou, whether it is high-level or grassroots. The primary indicators are character and disposition. With your soul realm, you should be able to see through their inner thoughts."

"Young Master, you are?"

Lingfei looked at him in surprise. Was he going to make a big move?

"I want to replace some of the officials in Da Zhou in a short period of time! I'm going to walk around the city, you do your own thing."

After speaking, he flew away into the sky.

The capital of Da Zhou has never been so lively and prosperous as it is now.

Jun Wuxie has also not strolled on the streets of the capital of Da Zhou like this for a long time.

He changed his appearance, went to the east city, and felt the prosperity of today, and he was also very emotional in his heart.

Passing by a district government office, he saw that it was crowded with people and heard the sound of drums.

He stepped forward, and an old man in his sixties was drumming to appeal for injustice.

However, he was lifted by the yamen servants by his arms and thrown down the steps, falling with a bloody head.

"Your Honor, please do justice for the common people. The common people have no land. The land that should have been distributed to the common people has been occupied by the local gentry. The common people work as hired laborers for the local gentry and cannot support their young grandson at all!"

The old man's face was covered in tears: "This humble citizen's three sons died for the country during the defense of the capital. Five of my six grandsons also died on the battlefield. The oldest was only sixteen. Now, only one six-year-old grandson remains, the only bloodline left. I can't let him starve. Please, sir, have mercy and help me…"

Jun Wuxie's eyes twitched violently. He took out a rune memory stone and silently recorded the scene.

"You troublemaking peasant, how dare you disrupt the yamen and spout nonsense! Everyone has been allocated land. You say you have no land, you must have privately sold it to others! This is a serious crime!"

"No! I am wronged! I didn't!"

The old man was panicked, kowtowing repeatedly to the two yamen runners.

"Humph!" A yamen runner sneered, coldly sweeping over the crowd gathered nearby, and said: "See this? This is the fate of troublemakers! Privately selling land and daring to come to the yamen to complain is a heinous crime! Take him down!"

Immediately, two people stepped forward, grabbing the old man's arms and dragging him inside.

"Hold on!"

Jun Wuxie stepped forward, pushing the two yamen runners away, looking at them coldly, and said: "Is this how you treat the families of heroes and martyrs?"

"Boy, who are you? How dare you openly defy the yamen? Families of heroes and martyrs? Many have died for Great Zhou. Should he enjoy special treatment? Besides, did we force his sons and grandsons to go to the battlefield?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people were filled with anger, but they dared not speak out.

They had seen the yamen's methods. The old man who complained was directly accused of privately selling land, a capital crime!

"Did any of you go to the battlefield during the war between Great Zhou and West Forest?"

Jun Wuxie was truly angered.

"No, so what?"

The two yamen runners crossed their arms, looking at him with amusement.

"If it weren't for their sacrifice, do you think you would still be standing here bullying their old father, bullying their grandfather? You ungrateful wretches!"

"Bold! How dare you insult officials!"

"Looking for death!"

Several yamen runners stepped forward, about to attack him.

"Young man, leave quickly! You can't fight them, run!"

The old man, not knowing where he got the courage, suddenly rushed in front of Jun Wuxie, blocking the yamen runners: "Young man, run!"

Jun Wuxie's heart trembled.

Looking at the old man's thin back, he suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

He had never imagined that one day, an ordinary old man who couldn't cultivate would stand in front of him, protecting him with his aging body.

"Old fool, courting death!"

A yamen runner drew his saber with a clang, slashing at the old man.

With a *poof* sound.

A golden light flashed, and the heads of the two yamen runners flew high, spraying blood wildly.

This was too sudden, startling the surrounding people into screams. They all looked at the young man who had made the move in horror.

"Young man, you… you…"

The old man was also stunned.

"Intending to subvert Great Zhou, death without pardon!"

Jun Wuxie's voice was icy cold. He picked up the old man with one hand and disappeared from in front of the yamen.

By the time the yamen officials rushed out with the yamen runners, he was long gone.

…

The military camp in the East City was in an uproar. Dozens of generals ran out of their tents.

"This humble general welcomes Lord Jun!"

They all knelt on the ground.

At this moment, the old man suddenly turned his head, only to realize that the young man's appearance had changed.

His pupils contracted rapidly, followed by tears of joy. He knelt on the ground with a *plop*, saying in fear: "This old man didn't know it was Lord Jun. I have offended you greatly. Please, Lord Jun, have mercy!"

"Old man, get up. You haven't offended me, and there's no need to kneel." He helped the old man up and said to the generals in front of him: "Get up! Now, immediately have your men enter the city in plain clothes and investigate all government agencies and departments. Anyone who violates the law, anyone who colludes with merchants, anyone who bullies the people, anyone who disrespects martyrs, anyone who is corrupt and perverts justice, seize them on the spot, escort them to Zhongdu, and try them together, to be publicly executed by slow slicing!"

"Lord Jun, isn't this… a bit too drastic?"

The commander of this military camp was startled.

In the past few months, he had heard a lot of news. Many high-ranking officials in the court were involved.

The current Great Zhou has endless spiritual fields, and the harvest of spiritual rice is astonishing. Every grain of spiritual rice is wealth, and naturally many people cannot resist the temptation.

Moreover, since foreigners have been doing business in the capital, there have been problems with the approval of many projects.

He only knew the surface of things. Due to being in the military camp, he couldn't know the details.

"What? Could it be that you are also involved?"

"No, absolutely not!" The general was so frightened that his body went limp. He knelt heavily on the ground, saying in fear: "Lord Jun, please investigate! This humble general would rather die nine times than dare to do such a thing!"

"Good!" Jun Wuxie said coldly: "All of you remember this. Great Zhou is everyone's Great Zhou, and it is also my Great Zhou! Anyone who dares to do shady things in Great Zhou is stabbing me, Jun Wuxie, in the back and will not live!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this humble general will remember and will never forget!"

"Alright, follow my orders and start the operation immediately! Remember, be secretive, quick, and precise! Don't give them time to destroy the evidence! Don't let anyone slip through the net. Anyone involved must be arrested and taken to Zhongdu!"

"Lord Jun, rest assured, this humble general guarantees to complete the mission. This humble general will go now!"

The general left in a hurry with dozens of subordinates, quickly gathering soldiers.

"Old man, stay in the military camp for now. Go back after things are settled. You don't have to worry about the land. What should be allocated to you will definitely be allocated to you."

"This old man will forever remember Lord Jun's great kindness!"

The old man knelt on the ground, weeping with joy.

When he looked up again, Jun Wuxie was long gone.

At this time, Jun Wuxie had already appeared in the West City, still with a changed appearance.

He didn't expect that in just a few months, the capital would be so smoggy.

Some people's desires, the nature of pursuing profit, exceeded his imagination.

Perhaps those people's minds hadn't turned around yet, thinking that Great Zhou was still the same Great Zhou as before, and being an official in Great Zhou was still the same as before.

This time, he wanted everyone in Great Zhou to clearly recognize that Great Zhou was no longer the Great Zhou of the past!
