Chapter 51: own thoughs

Xia Fan was startled, what Li Zeng had said suddenly appeared in his mind.

"You don't think that the Privy Council is specially used to deal with evil,

right?"

"Hahahahaha —" Wang Renzhi on the side said, "The surname is Xia, do you know

that you are already an eight-rank official? Are there many ordinary people in

the world, or many officials? Is ordinary people important, or Officials are

important? If anyone is in trouble, we have to save it. Can you get over it!"

"But I have obviously encountered an alchemist in the Privy Council who took

the initiative to destroy evil..."

"Is it possible that you think they are all free to go on horseback?" Wang

Renzhi spread his hand, "Think about it, those ordinary people can tell what

is evil and what is their own imagination? Not setting a threshold will only

let everyone Tired of running for life, in the end they found that the snake

lying on the beam or the wild cat hiding at the foot of the bed! What's more,

is it expensive for a life of dozens of taels? This can at least make them ask

the privy Before the government helps, go through your mind first, instead of

treating your imagination as reality!"

"What if someone can't even draw out these tens of taels of silver?" Xia Fan

frowned.

"Then die. There are people dying every day in this world. They die from

disease, starvation, exhaustion, hardship, and poverty. It doesn’t make a

difference if one more is killed by evil. I say what you are thinking about—

Isn't your purpose of joining the Privy Council for the sake of money and to

be superior? If you really want to help those people, you can travel around

the world and be what people call the "Xia Daochang"!"

"Enough." Master Zhang waved to interrupt Wang Renzhi's sarcasm, turning to

Xia Fan and said, "The Privy Council’s responsibility is to guard the world,

not to be a tinker. If there are serious evil incidents in the local area, the

command will naturally send The alchemist will dispose of it, and the

necessary expenses will be collected by the local chief official. This is

considered a shelter for the world. But we can’t protect everyone. Although

Wang Renzhi’s words are not acceptable, they are facts. The number of

alchemists is ultimately the same. Limited, we shouldn’t focus on trivial

things.”

Is it just... trivial matter? Xia Fan subconsciously said, "What is the big

event?"

Such a rhetorical question has the meaning of questioning.

Master Zhang’s tone was obviously unhappy. He stretched out his hand and

arched toward the north, “What else can be, of course, the guardian saint,

protect me. It is because the world is peaceful, you will be here. If war

breaks out, you But they all have to shoulder the mission and work for Daqi."

"Eh, are we still going to the battlefield?" Wei Wushuang asked in surprise.

"Otherwise? The two won't know it." Wang Renzhi sneered, "Armageddon can

destroy evil, and naturally it can also destroy people. If there is an

alchemist against one side, and the other side does not, the latter must be

defeated. You see, The alchemist is so important that it can even determine

the rise and fall of a country. The things you mentioned are naturally trivial

things that are not worth mentioning."

Master Zhang continued his words, "When you rise to the top, you will

naturally understand that alchemists play an irreplaceable role in

intelligence, diplomatic relations, governance, and strategy. This is why this

institution is called the Privy Council—— It is the center of the Lord's

mastery of the world, and the guardian of the mysteries of the world. It's a

pity that with your current thinking, I'm afraid it will be difficult to

improve."

After he finished speaking, he stopped going to see Xia Fan, as if he had lost

the value of teaching, "If there are no other questions, I will take you to

the recording department."

……

Until about four or five in the afternoon, everyone left the Privy Council.

Walking on the bustling street, Xia Fan still hasn't recovered from that

conversation. After that, Master Zhang did not make any trouble for him, and

he was not hindered in entering the recording department. Looking at the book

full of books, he still had difficulty concentrating.

"Brother Xia, are you okay?" Wei Wushuang patted him on the shoulder and asked

with concern.

"It's nothing...I was too rash." Xia Fan exhaled. He found that he had made a

basic mistake, which was to put the original concept of the past on the Privy

Council.

Thinking from a rational point of view, Wang Renzhi was right. There were 189

passers in the Qingshan Township Examination. Even if there are five

examination rooms in one session, there are only 1,000 people. In Shenzhou

alone, there are three cities and sixteen counties with a population of over

one million. Such a wide disparity in numbers, coupled with the backward

traffic environment, is destined to be impossible for the alchemist to deal

with every evil incident.

The so-called screening line of dozens of taels of silver is actually just a

cover-because the Privy Council does not require alchemists to respond to

requests. Townships and counties that are closer to the big city may still be

cared for. Small villages and towns in remote places can take ten and a half

days to pass the news. There are probably only a handful of alchemists who are

willing to take a trip.

This is probably the reason why the Privy Council opened one eye and closed

one eye to those who are not in the establishment.

But from a perceptual point of view, it is difficult for him to accept such a

natural attitude of the Privy Council.

"Hey, you two wait!" Luo Youer's shout suddenly came from behind.

The two turned their heads, and saw Luo Youer trotting all the way with

Shangguan Cai.

"Miss Luo, Ms Shangguan." Wei Wushuang said with joy, "Do you also live in the

eastern courtyard?"

"Yes, I live next door to her." Luo You'er nodded, "Although the house is a

bit broken, the senior sister said it is always right to save money."

My fellow villager couldn't help but raised his mouth, "Then we can just go

home together."

"I didn't expect you to come here too." Xia Fan cleared up his mood and said

to Luo Youer.

"Why can't I come here? Laughing at my ranking is equivalent to laughing at

yourself!" Luo Youer made a grimace, "but this exam is really strange, I

haven't returned to Youzhou yet~www.mtlnovel. The com~ appointment and

dismissal order has already been delivered to the senior brother. To be

honest, I was quite uneasy to let me come to Jinxia by myself at first, but I

am more relieved to see you here."

Wei Wushuang's eyes looked at Xia Fan suddenly became weird.

"But I remember when you met you called him the Caihua Thief." Shangguan Cai

glanced suspiciously.

"That's a fact, and it's mainly because my senior sister believes him very

much." Luo You'er pouted, "Senior sister's judgment is always right. If she

thinks it's okay, then I think...this person should not be bad. Where to go."

"Your sister is..."

"The famous Luo Qing from Youzhou."

Wei Wushuang's expression is indescribably complicated.

No... Brother Wei, you will listen to my explanation later. Xia Fan felt

bitter.

"By the way, why didn't you argue in the end?" Luo Youer changed the topic and

asked vigorously. "Senior sister was angry for several days. She felt that if

you did not stand up, you were destroying the order of the exam and fostering

injustice. The spread! To be smaller is to ruin one's own future, to bigger is

to shake Qiguo fundamentals!" She paused briefly, and added, "--this is what

she said."

Your sister is really... the light of the right way. Xia Fan was slightly

embarrassed, "I joined the Privy Council just to study alchemy. It doesn't

matter whether I go to Gyeonggi or Jinxia, so at that time—"

"Liar." The little girl interrupted his excuse.

"What?"

"If you were just for this purpose, why did you argue with the Master just

now?" Luo Youer said with a straightforward expression, "Does it matter

whether other people can be saved? Does it have anything to do with your

research on Alchemy? Xia Fan, you really know Your own thoughts?"

Xia Fan was stunned.

My heart passed by like thunder.
