AWB Chapter 201 Too Brutal
Chapter 201 Too Brutal
Mu Zhilian spoke after a long pause: "Is what I wrote really so insignificant?"
Su Yun immediately became alert: "Hiss, the Imperial Advisor's emotions are really overflowing!"
What kind of cultivation is this "Supreme Forgetfulness"? Why does he spend all his time wallowing in self-pity?
Shouldn't we just ignore what others say?
Fortunately, Mu Zhilian quickly recovered and said, "Then you should read more books."
With another wave of her hand, hundreds and thousands of martial arts manuals appeared beside her.
Any one of them would be the envy of outsiders.
Even if you exhaust your family fortune, you may not be able to catch a glimpse of it if you lack talent.
Now, these things are piled up haphazardly in the cell like junk.
If the cultivation technique itself weren't enveloped in spiritual energy, those ordinary disciples would have been incredibly distressed by the dirt on the filthy ground.
At this moment, it wasn't just the disciples who were saddened.
The entire Ministry of Justice prison was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Dai Zui stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.
His mind was buzzing, as if a thousand exotic alpacas were running wild.
What the hell?
The Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Head of the Taixu Sect, a dignified Saint Realm expert.
They really came to visit me in prison?
What kind of magic does the child of the Marquis of Zhenyuan possess?
It's one thing for a military saint to be admitted, but the Ministry of War had previously attempted to visit him in prison.
What's going on with this Sage of the Taixu Sect now?
Swish!
Dai Zui looked at Jun Youlan without speaking, but her wounded eyes conveyed a thousand words.
You've caused me so much suffering!
Jun Youlan was also extremely shocked and couldn't come to her senses for a long time: "You...he...me...what exactly happened?"
Has the world gone mad?
Are saints so cheap and commonplace?
Even the emperor's words were obeyed, not summoned.
The imperial advisor came here not to visit the prison, but to observe the condition of this little thing.
Jun Youlan's mind was in turmoil. He looked down and suddenly noticed the huge pile of precious furniture, rare treasures, and delicacies.
Mu Zhilian said calmly, "Use these things as you see fit, and throw them away if you don't need them."
Jun Youlan's face burned; he found the embarrassment of misjudging the situation even harder to accept than a head-on confrontation.
These things were not meant to reward our own side at all.
The civil officials dared not question it, but those strange looks still made Jun Youlan feel very aggrieved.
What kind of world is this? Who could have imagined it!
The two saints who came to visit the prison were not acting on the emperor's orders, but rather because of their connections!
Who would have thought that sending so many valuable items to the prison would have nothing to do with their own side!
The more indignant Jun Youlan became, the more silent he became.
Su Yun said "Oh," and then added, "Sister Qingman, you decide what to do."
Overjoyed, Qingman jumped and skipped out of the cell and began to sort out her belongings one by one.
The jailer saw everything and immediately reacted by stepping forward.
puff!
Jun Youlan's face turned pale, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Xiao Erke quickly stepped forward: "My lord!"
Jun Youlan was both angry and resentful; he had already coughed up blood for the third time today!
As the blood spurted out, the jailer who was about to step forward suddenly scratched the back of his head in confusion.
When he saw Qingman come out to pack her things, he no longer had the desire to stop her.
Jun Youlan's commandment, "Be loyal to your duty," shattered instantly under Mu Zhilian's powerful spiritual energy.
The immense backlash caused the official excruciating pain, as if his internal organs were being burned by flames.
He was furious: "Didn't you say that the Marquis of Zhenyuan's child failed to become a disciple of the Taixu Sect?!"
Xiao Erke was on the verge of tears: "It's the truth!"
On the day of the assessment, in front of everyone, Su Yun indeed failed to join the Taixu Sect, a fact known to many nobles and royalty.
How can you blame yourself for this!
Jun Youlan's gaze towards Xiao Erke already carried dissatisfaction.
But he quickly suppressed it.
A genius capable of writing "A Treatise on Governing the People" can have some other personality flaws, but that's acceptable.
Mu Zhilian suddenly spoke up: "What you just said is wrong."
Jun Youlan was taken aback, realizing that the person was speaking to him.
He sighed inwardly, knowing he couldn't avoid it, and forced a smile: "Your humble servant begs for the Imperial Preceptor's instruction."
Mu Zhilian said casually, "Behind him are not only Confucianists and military strategists, but also Taoism."
Jun Youlan's smile froze.
He cursed inwardly, wondering what was going on.
Why are so many important figures trying to protect this child?
Confucianism and the Ministry of Rites have always had a relationship, so it's normal for them to want to influence and merge with each other.
The government and the military were originally one entity. Now that the military has become powerful, it is understandable that the government would also be elevated to a corresponding level of strength.
Jun Youlan guessed the emperor's thoughts and used the situation to do his own thing.
By uniting Confucianism and military strategy, one can not only be innocent but also gain merit.
Therefore, his targeting of these two families was still within the emperor's checks and balances.
As long as you don't fail, you can succeed.
But now, with the Taoist sect represented by the Taixu Sect getting involved, things have changed.
Taoist schools were scattered throughout the Great Qian Dynasty.
Targeting Taoism could easily force them to unite, which would mean dealing with many more enemies.
The emperor would not want so many enemies to suddenly appear.
Then the person who caused the incident will become the scapegoat.
Moreover... the Taixu Sect is one of the strongest Taoist schools.
If I were to force the Imperial Advisor to rebel, even ten of my own lives wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.
Jun Youlan's face was grim, but he still had to force a smile: "Grand Preceptor is joking... There is no mastermind behind it all."
"It's just that my interrogation methods were too rough, which led to a misunderstanding."
“I think there must be something fishy about this. The young master of Zhenyuan Marquis is of pure character. How could he do such a heinous thing?”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will investigate thoroughly and find out the truth. I will not wrong an innocent person, nor will I let a guilty person go unpunished!"
The words were repeated, but the meaning was completely reversed.
Xiao Erke opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but Jun Youlan glared at him and stopped him.
He's a great talent, but he's really clueless when it comes to such trivial matters!
I really don't know how someone with such thoughts could write such an astonishing and outrageous article.
That was a remarkable piece of writing that shook the very foundations of the nation and inspired countless others!
Mu Zhilian regained her aloofness and ignored these people.
It appeared suddenly, and then disappeared just as suddenly.
Qingman opened a lid, revealing a silver plate underneath filled with steaming roasted pork, its aroma filling the air.
She quickly said, "Young master, are you hungry? Let me serve you your meal!"
As Qingman prepared the food, she couldn't stop smiling: "I never thought I could eat such delicious food in this place."
"Oh, I'll have a bed and blankets to sleep in tonight."
"The Imperial Advisor is much better; he's gentler than that General Luo."
Luo Hanjiang, with his straightforward male mindset, felt that this kind of environment was not bad at all.
Mu Zhilian fared much better, having already made proper arrangements for her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
Qingman felt reassured: "Young Master, with the Imperial Advisor watching over you, you will definitely be alright!"
With two sages watching over him, who could possibly harm Su Yun?
