Chapter 442: Merit


Chapter 442 CreditWhen the Emei faction was overwhelmed by Wang Ge's various methods and had to let Luo Jiuniang go to the capital for help, the Tang Sect was also facing pressure from the government.In comparison, Wang Ge's methods against the Tang Sect were much simpler and more direct, just using the illegal actions of the Tang Sect's clansmen in the local area to let the bitter lord find the Yamen, and then the Yamen began to exert pressure on the Tang Men and their clans.A martial arts family like Tangmen, a bunch of masters in the family, must have a lot of illegal oppression in the local area, but in the past, they were shocked by the power of the Tang Sect, and the government was unwilling to take care of this kind of thankless "Jianghu affairs", or they themselves had collusion with the Tang Sect, so no one dared to make trouble, and those who made trouble had already been settled.But now, when the government began to find trouble with the Tang Gate, and the Tang Gate dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, everyone knew that the strength of the Tang Gate was not as good as before.Thinking of the previous Jingjing disaster, after the Tang Men participated in the Jingzhou attack on Zhu Di, who was still the King of Yan at the time, even many forces that had nothing to do with the Tang Sect, had never been oppressed, and might even cooperate, began to fall into the ground.The Tang Sect is not like the Emei faction, although it is also a big force in Shuzhong, but firstly, it does not have so much influence on the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, and secondly, there is no grandmaster master in charge.As long as they are not facing the catastrophe of annihilation, they do not have the courage to break the net, and even if the net is broken, it may not have much impact.What's more, Wang Ge's purpose was not to force him to die.The Tang Sect is also a force that he has important to subdue, and many things in the Tang Sect, although in Wang Ge's view, are a bit of a sacrifice and the wrong point to the science and technology tree.But in a sense, there are also a lot of references.In addition to the Tang Sect, there were many small and medium-sized sects that participated in the Battle of Jingzhou, and they were also rectified by Wang Ge in the same way.Of course, even if they were soft, they didn't need to send someone to the capital to sit in the "Martial Arts Hall" - that was a place that only grandmasters were qualified to go.And in the Battle of Jingzhou, Xue Liang, another grandmaster who participated, naturally would not be let go by Wang Ge.It's just that compared to the "Demon Slaying Sword Immortal" Miao Xuzi, Xue Liang, whose family is already in Jiangnan, is actually easier to deal with than the Tang Sect.It is impossible for Miao Xuzi to give up the Emei faction, and it is even more impossible for Xue Liang to give up the Xue family.Therefore, after the two side branch children of the Xue family were arrested and imprisoned by the government for some old cases, Xue Liang consciously went to the capital to "report".However, the four grandmasters of the Battle of Jingzhou, in addition to Gu Xinyang, Xue Liang, and Miao Xuozi, there is another person, but even Wang Ge feels that it is difficult to deal with it, that is, the "Sword Fairy" Wang Hatshui.It's not that Wang Ge can't deal with this grandmaster, but her relationship with Cheng Haoyan makes it difficult for Wang Ge to really get started.Wang Hatshui does not have a fixed mountain gate, and her whereabouts are uncertain, and the little apprentice she cares about the most has already "broken" with her.Therefore, whether it is the tricks of martial arts sects such as the Emei faction, or the tricks of families such as the Xue family and the Tang family, they are not very effective.If there is no relationship with Cheng Haoyan, with Wang Ge's usual style of acting, he will not allow such a hidden danger to exist on the rivers and lakes, which may have a possible impact on his future plans, and will find a way to fish it out, and if it can be subdued, it will be subdued, and if it can't be subdued, it will be directly and completely "solved".But with Cheng Haoyan's relationship, even if she has broken away from the master-apprentice relationship with Wang Hatshui, and even abolished her martial arts for this, Wang Ge still knows very well that Cheng Haoyan will not allow him to hurt and design Wang Hatshui - unless Wang Hatshui takes the initiative to deal with him.Therefore, Wang Ge did not specifically target Wang Hatshui, and just regarded her as not being able to find her for the time being.Less than a year after Wang Ge took charge of Dongchang, he captured the head of the Mengyuan Tatar secret agent - although he was dead, but it was also a merit.Eliminated all the Tatar spy strongholds in the capital, and found almost all the spies.And on the rivers and lakes, great results have been achieved in a short period of time, and when Miao Xuzi also goes to Beijing, he has successfully subdued the two grandmasters and made them "willingly" enter the "Jiaowu Hall" of the Ministry of Rites.Although he only said that he was sitting in the capital to direct martial arts, and he did not have the obligation to accept any assigned tasks, he still hung the name of the Ministry of Rites, neither the Ministry of War nor the Ministry of Punishment.But whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the imperial court, they naturally regard the two grandmasters as having returned to the Zhao'an imperial court, which is the merit of Dongchang's rectification of the rivers and lakes.There was no need for Wang Ge to secretly report to the emperor the success of controlling the Wumeng through Huangfu Yuan, just this that everyone could see was enough to reward him again.On the side of the Emei faction, everything was in Wang Ge's already arranged plan, when Zhou Hanxiao and Luo Jiuniang returned to Emei Mountain and brought Wang Ge's two requirements to them, with the cooperation of the Emei County Government and other sects in Emei Mountain, in the end, Miao Xuzi and the Emei faction still chose to compromise.In order to appease the other sects in Emeishan, those people who do have lawsuits with the Emei faction, and the bitter masters, the head of the Emei faction chose to step down from the position of head and go to the county government in person to solve the backlog of cases.Although she was not sentenced in the end, after this experience, she is no longer suitable to continue to be the head of the Emei faction.So with the joint support of the former head, Miao Xuzi and other elders in the Emei faction, Luo Jiuniang became the new head of the Emei faction.After that, Miao Xuzi set off and went to the capital with Zhou Hanxiao to report to the "Jiaowutang" of the Ministry of Rites.Miao Xuozi herself also knows that from then on, it will be difficult for the Emei faction to return to its previous reputation, status and appeal in the rivers and lakes, and after she went to the capital, whether she did things for the imperial court or not, in the eyes of other Jianghu people, she has also been imprinted with the background of "official government".But at the critical moment of the sect's life and death, she has no other better choice, the government and Shaolin, or the Dongchang and Wang Ge behind it, use the method of oppression and coercion that is clearly displayed, so that they have no other way to go except to choose to submit.And this incident also made her see what kind of faces the other so-called righteous sects on the rivers and lakes were.There are many famous factions who may not be aware of the coercion and oppression suffered by the Emei faction, but not only have they not done anything, but they also have no intention of supporting and upholding justice in public opinion, and even many people have the desire to fall into the ground.In the company of these hypocrites, it is really better to simply be the eagle dog of the court and be a real villain.When Miaoxuzi arrived in the capital in mid-April and entered the "Jiaowutang" with Xue Liang, the imperial court issued a commendation decree for Wang Ge's meritorious service in purging the rivers and lakes.In the past year or so, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the two major intelligence agencies directly responsible to the emperor, were quite active, but Jinyiwei was constantly interrogating Jianwen's former ministers, while Dongchang was dealing with Mengyuan's secret agents and Jianghu sects, compared to which, there is no doubt that the latter's reputation among the courtiers was much better.
