Chapter 420 Violence and Order

"justice?"

"What justice?"

Li Zhongren sat up lazily, holding the bed with one hand and the other hand raised high, as if he was stretching.

"Of course it's justice for you to exploit the people of Tancheng and its surrounding areas!"

Lin Chaoying made a sword flower and protected the soft sword in front of her.

There is not much information about this new Tiangang warrior in the martial arts world. Even Bai Xiaosheng, who is good at gathering intelligence, only knows that he is good at using an extremely fast sword technique and can also control the wind between heaven and earth.

I don’t know anything else.

Therefore, in order to avoid falling into a passive position, you should first hold the sword in front of you.

"How did I exploit the people of Tan City?"

"You annexed the land and made everyone in Tancheng your tenants."

"Why, is it against the law?"

Li Zhongren looked at Lin Chaoying with a smile.

"Lin Chaoying, the Jiangnan Lin family of the Ming Dynasty is also a famous aristocratic family. Do you want to check how much land your Lin family has annexed in the past hundred years?"

"Why, your Lin family can annex it, but I can't?"

"I"

Lin Chaoying was stunned.

"We, the Lin family, did not force them to sell the land. They sold it to us on their own initiative."

"Uh-huh."

"Three years ago, there was a severe drought, and countless people sold their children and land just to survive. You wealthy families made a lot of money. Since you are so kind, why did you buy their land and make them tenants? Why didn't you think of lending them some money to help them get through the difficult times?"

"Ok?"

As he spoke, Li Zhongren stood up.

"Not answering?"

"Because the noble families know that this is a reasonable excuse to exploit the people."

"Well, you guys exploit the people, so why can't I exploit all of you, including the people?"

"They are all being exploited anyway. I am the one exploiting them. They don't have to pay taxes to the government. All other taxes are also exempted. They just have to pay taxes to me. As for the land, they have no share in it. You are dreaming if you want to buy or sell it."

"What if there is a disaster?"

"Of course I don't collect taxes. Are you stupid? The land is mine, the tenants are mine, and their lives are mine. If they die, who will farm for me?"

"This"

After Li Zhongren said this.

Lin Chaoying simply stopped talking.

Because she seemed to have discovered something.

But it seems that he hasn't figured it out.

But she didn't have a chance to figure it out.

Because Li Zhongren had already rushed over from the opposite side.

Pinch your hands into a knife.

There was a green glow on his hands.

He struck Lin Chaoying with one powerful blow and split Mount Hua.
"Whoo~~~"

Lin Chaoying instinctively dodged to the side due to the powerful blow. Her Lin family's forte was Qinggong, especially the short-distance maneuvers, which were so fast that it seemed like a flash of lightning. This was also the reason why the Lin family was able to gain a foothold in Jiangnan where there were many wealthy families.

The sword energy gushed out and hit the candle, but it was like a breeze blowing on the face.

This is the control power of the Tiangang warrior.

It's not like the big bomber who proves how powerful you are by demolishing things with a bang.

The more advanced the warrior, the stronger his control.

They can demolish it, but there is no need.

If the other person is a human.

To refine the power to the last detail is a true master.
"Whoosh!!"

Lin Chaoying turned sideways and flicked her finger, and three icy needles shot towards Li Zhongren in the shape of a Chinese character "品".

Then, they were swept by Li Zhongren's sword energy and flew towards the glass window. Similarly, when these three needles hit the glass window, the window did not break, but only left three spots of water vapor on it.
"Ice Sword Dance!"

Lin Chaoying touched the ground with her toes and flipped in the air, with the tip of the sword circling around her. Immediately, a stream of icy sword energy spread out in all directions with the momentum to cut the room in half. Moreover, every time Lin Chaoying turned around, a stream of sword energy would be generated.

Like a small spinning top, she immediately chopped out dense sword energy, almost covering the entire inner hall!

Li Zhongren was not nervous about this.

Instead, he held the knife with his backhand, pointing the entire blade at an angle towards Lin Chaoying, then he jumped up and turned himself into a spinning drill, thrusting Lin Chaoying at the speed of a cannonball!

Wherever it passed, all the icy sword energy was shattered.

Suddenly, the whole room was filled with scattered ice crystals.
"when!!"

Finally, the two men's swords and knives intersected, one blocked the other's sword dance, and the other blocked the other's thrust.

At this distance, it was the first time that Li Zhongren saw Lin Chaoyang's appearance clearly.

how to say?

Although she is a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, she has a graceful aura, but after years of traveling around the world, she has become more free and straightforward, looking like a piece of corundum.
"Humph!"

Seeing Li Zhongren's eyes looking at her unscrupulously, Lin Chaoying glared at Li Zhongren fiercely.

The sword in his hand suddenly became soft, like a snake, circling along Li Zhongren's long knife and stabbing towards his eyes!

Then, Li Zhongren seemed to turn into a gust of wind, not only dodging the attack, but also turning behind Lin Chaoying and starting to chop with his knife.

"Dang!!"

A piece of ice appeared out of thin air behind Lin Chaoying, blocking the attack. At the same time, Lin Chaoying's figure disappeared from the spot. At the same time, the soft sword stabbed at Li Zhongren again like a poisonous snake.
"Dang~"

"Dang~"

For a moment, there was no one in the room, only the faint sound of weapons colliding.

His body movements
The more she fought, the more frightened Lin Chaoying became.

Her Lin family's Tianluodiwang body skills were more powerful than any other in the entire Ming Dynasty, and she had never met an opponent. However, the body skills of the young man in front of her were even more difficult to deal with than the Lin family's Tianluodiwang body skills.

It really was like a gust of wind.

No matter how you chase or chop, it always seems to be without any force.
Of course, if it were just this, she wouldn't care. She would just fight slowly. As a Tiangang warrior, her true Qi is endless. In this kind of subtle contest, she could fight until she felt like going to the toilet.

So, before coming, she went to the bathroom, and this guy, after drinking so much, would definitely not be able to outlast her!
These are all her experiences in the world.

However, as time passed, the two continued to collide.

Lin Chaoying keenly noticed a problem.

My sword is damaged
His sword was called Qingming Soft Sword, a world-famous magic weapon. Although the opponent's sword was also a precious sword, one could tell at a glance that it was full of the aura of a craftsman. It was obviously made by an ordinary blacksmith with piles of materials.

Logically speaking, if they collided, its sword would definitely break, but his Qingming sword would not be damaged at all.

However, the reality is just the opposite.

There was a crack in his Qingming Sword, although it was very small.

While she felt distressed, she was also certain of one thing.

The young man in front of him is not only a Tiangang-level warrior, but also one of the few Tiangang-level warriors who can master the "intention". What is intention?
It is the Tao, it is the law, it is the rule.

In all likelihood, the other party's intention is something sharp or cutting.

Therefore, it can be so sharp only with the blessing of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!
And she had to admit that until now, she had not yet understood the meaning, and could only use the family skills to drive the internal energy to achieve some effects.

In fact, in a sense, Gangqi is also intention, but it is a kind of retreat and a bottom line.

It is too difficult to comprehend the intention, so there are Tiangang warriors who use skills to simulate the intention and achieve similar effects.

However, fake is fake after all. When encountering the real intention, although it will not be restrained like the male and female magic weapons of the Monkey King, it will always be in a weak position. Water dripping wears away the stone. If you keep fighting, the chance of losing is 100%.

"Condensation!!"

However, she could never let Lin Chaoying admit defeat directly. Moreover, she was not without means to deal with such erosion. With a flick of her wrist, a layer of ice crystals condensed on the Qingming Sword immediately. The sword collided again, and ice crystals splashed, but this time it did not harm the Qingming Sword itself.

"Hehe, you are worthy of being this girl."

Twenty-year-old Lin Chaoying was at the age of innocence and brilliance.

I couldn't help feeling a little proud.

then
Then, she found that she could not move.
It was as if I was being tightly entangled by something.

A mixture of wind and sword.
Lin Chaoying, who was also a genius, reacted immediately.

In this confined space, the two of them kept fighting, causing the room to be filled with sword and knife energy. In addition, his attention was completely focused on the gap in the Qingming Sword, and he was not careful for a moment and was directly wrapped up by the other party.

Although, it can only be wrapped for a short while.

It might even be able to wrap her up for only a moment.

In fact, the moment she found herself being wrapped up, she had already tried her best to use her family's internal energy, the Xuanbing Jue, to dispel the control.

And she did.

Unfortunately, the difference between masters lies just in the tiniest detail.

During the moment when I was slow, the person opposite me had already put away his sword and drawn it.
There was a clang and a flash of knife light.
Lin Chaoying's intuition told her that this was a powerful strike that condensed all of the opponent's sword intent and all of his internal energy.

My own body cannot handle it.

"So, I'm going to die??"

"Whoosh~~"

A gust of wind blew.

Lin Chaoying opened her eyes.

I saw a willow of hair falling to the ground
"Why don't you kill me?"

Li Zhongren sat back on his bed.

Lin Chaoying was kneeling not far away, staring blankly at the Qingming Sword in her hand.

For a Tiangang warrior, it is easy to be defeated, but difficult to die.

This is also the reason why she had the confidence to come and cause trouble, but, she almost died just now.

Although, this was due to my own carelessness and the fact that the opponent was best at speed and cutting.

However, it is an indisputable fact that I almost died.

She has been very strong since she was young. Why is she already a Tiangang warrior at the age of seventeen?
Because she didn't want to be married off as a victim of an arranged marriage.

If a woman from an aristocratic family wants to break her fate, she must be strong enough.

She wants to control her own destiny.

Perhaps it was because of this incident that she gradually developed the character of wanting to compete for everything.

Now, suddenly, she had lost.

She felt as if her world was about to collapse.
"Why should I kill you?"

Li Zhongren picked up the wine glass and drank the nectar in it.

The two had just had a fierce battle, but the house was not damaged at all. This is the control power of the Tiangang warrior.

"Although you are a little stupid, at least you have a good heart. Moreover, you also know that you can't kill me. You came here just to cause me some trouble. Besides, you introduced yourself as the Jiangnan Lin family right away, which is also a kind of confession. You won't really fight to the death with me. Otherwise, I will take revenge on your Lin family, and then we will be even again, right?"

"Ah, do I have this idea?"

Lin Chaoying opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Zhongren quietly.

Then, she realized that she was really stupid and was really asking for trouble for her family.
However, she could not admit that how could the wise and brave Lin Chaoying make such a mistake?
"Humph!"

With a light snort, Lin Chaoying stopped talking, but she didn't say anything harsh either. In her previous thoughts, she had actually figured out some things.

That is, Li Zhongren is definitely not as the rumors say.

There was indeed something behind this matter that she had never noticed.

Moreover, the more she thought about it, the more she felt.
Li Zhongren's approach seemed to be more friendly to Pingming.

If we rent the land to you, you won’t be able to sell it.

When I have nothing, no one can exploit me. The worst that can happen to me is death.

But it is precisely under this premise that he has nothing and everything is in Li Zhongren's hands.

The problem of aristocratic families annexing land, which has plagued the world for years, has been solved just like that?

wrong
Soon, Lin Chaoying thought of a problem.

As a ruler, he would certainly choose the latter between the aristocratic families and the common people, because the latter can farm and create wealth.

Then why didn’t the dynasty eliminate the aristocratic families itself?
Is it because you don’t want to?

It can't be.

A dynasty cannot do without aristocratic families because it needs aristocratic families to rule.

You want to rule with people who can't even read a single word?

Your orders cannot be passed on.
"Yeah, how did you do it?"

Lin Chaoying patted her thigh and temporarily came out of her failure.

"What?"

"It is rumored that you have killed all the noble families and wealthy households in Tancheng and the surrounding hundreds of miles. You have no officials, and no officials will come here in the future. How can you rule such a big city and the surrounding villages and towns?"

"I'm not crazy."

Li Zhongren glanced at Lin Chaoying.

"I just killed the main culprits, and let the rest continue to maintain order."

"But won't they have hatred in their hearts?"

"This is easy. I founded the Martial Alliance and asked them to spread throughout my sphere of influence and report back regularly. I don't care what these officials do. I only look at the results. If the results are good, everyone is happy. If the results are bad, they die."

"This is the Tiangang Warrior."

Lin Chaoying understood everything.

They arrest the big ones and let the small ones go, but the most ruthless one is this organization which is similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

The warriors scattered around Tan Cheng are definitely the most well-informed. Moreover, because warriors are scattered, even if someone colludes with officials, it is impossible to bribe all the warriors. There will always be warriors who pass the news back.

Of course, the most crucial person is Li Zhongren, who is like a stabilizing force.

Absolute violence creates absolute order.

After all, he only has to be responsible for killing.
