Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 73
Heavenly King Hongwu, 200 Years Ago

"It's so good."
Cui Heng nodded lightly at Hui Shi. Then, he looked at Sun Panshi, He Chengmao, and Monk Jingcong and chuckled. "What did you three say?"
Right now, the three of them were already kneeling in front of Cui Heng.
They no longer looked as arrogant as before.
At this point, they were already completely desperate.
They could not even think of escaping.
After all, with the presence of such a terrifying expert like Hui Shi, it was impossible for them to escape.
Now, the most important thing is how to survive.
Only by surviving can they have hope.
Otherwise, everything will be in vain.
Sun Panshi's mind raced. What's he supposed to do?
The threat will not work.
If the other party was truly afraid of his identity, he would not attack at all.
In this case, he should show his worth.
But where is it worth?
Wang Jinsheng's!
Sun Panshi's eyes suddenly sparkled. He hurriedly lay on the ground and said to Cui Heng, “Master! I have important intel to report. That's something only I know!”
As soon as he said this, the expressions of He Chengmao and Monk Jing Cong changed and they began to curse.
“Omong empty! You want to talk about Wang Jinsheng's news, don't you? I know that too. What do you mean by only you know?
“I also know his intel! Sir, Wang Jinsheng is from Yanzhou. He's from the Wang Clan of Langya!”
The first one was He Chengmao, who only retaliated and scolded Sun Panshi. The last one was Monk Jing Cong, who directly told him what he knew.
The Wang Clan of Langya in Yanzhou!
Other than Cui Heng and Hui Shi, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, showing shock.
"What do you all know ?!" Sun Panshi became furious when she heard the two of them. He pointed at them and scolded, “I've been with Wang Jinsheng for a long time and know more than you. I can definitely help this Master!”
Then, he said to Cui Heng with a flattering expression, “Master, don't listen to their nonsense. These two people only ate a little with Wang Jinsheng. The information they know is superficial. Only I have a deep understanding of Wang Jinsheng.”
"Sir, why don't you listen to him first?" Xu Feng'an used his True Qi to send a voice transmission and said to Cui Heng, “The Wang Family of Langya is one of the Seven Distinguished Families in the world. Their background is amazing.”
"No need to rush." Cui Heng shook his head lightly and said to Hui Shi, “Take the three of them off first. We'll keep raiding the business tomorrow. After we clear those merchants, we will hold a public trial together. ”
"Okay, my master!" Hui Shi bowed, then grabbed the three of them with both hands.
"Your majesty! No, don't!” Sun Panshi panicked upon seeing this situation. He shouted, “Master, the information I know is very important!”
"Yes I know." Cui Heng nodded and reminded Hui Shi, “Be careful during the public trial. Don't let anyone beat them to death. Just leave them alive.”
Sun Panshi and the other two were the ringleaders who exploited the people of Lu County. Courting them in public with the merchants was more conducive to the spread of truth.
It can mobilize the emotions of the community.
For Cui Heng, this was an opportunity for his cultivation to increase greatly.
In addition, questioning the culprit after a public trial will further confirm the completeness and authenticity of the information.
After Sun Panshi and the other two were detained by Hui Shi, the County Governor's House finally regained its composure.
Only the smell of blood left in the air and the dismembered limbs on the road ahead showed that a very tragic one-sided massacre had just happened here.
“Letnan Chen, clear the streets with your people so as not to disturb the people tomorrow,” Cui Heng told Chen Tong. "If any soldiers are still alive, arrest them too to await punishment."
"Okay, my master!" Chen Tong bowed respectfully before leaving in a hurry. He immediately gave orders for people to clear the streets overnight.
After seeing Hui Shi break through three realms in a row and commit a massive killing, he became obedient to Cui Heng's decision and had no other thoughts.
“You two, follow me,” Cui Heng said to Xu Feng'an and Liu Litao before turning around and returning to the inner hall.
….
In the hall in the office of the county magistrate.
Cui Heng took a sip of hot tea and asked Xu Feng'an and Liu Litao, “I've heard of the Seven Distinguished Families before, but I don't know much about them. Tell me more.”
In the past, he had asked Xu Feng'an and Liu Litao to better understand the overall situation of this world.
In name, the Great Jin Royal Family was the leader. But in reality, there were independent factions everywhere. Even the various State Supervisors who relied on the Great Jin regime had begun to govern themselves.
The entire Great Jin Dynasty was basically a scattered and divided power.
Hence, aside from the Middle Continent, the ten State Supervisors were the strongest people in the world.
But this is only on the surface.
In this world, aristocratic sects and families were the main players.
Although the Imperial Court and the State Supervisor controlled a large amount of military power, aristocratic sects and families relied on their deep foundations to infiltrate various industries.
They are involved in hundreds of industries concerning the livelihoods of the people, and the transportation of military equipment, ore, metals, and other industries.
If something were to happen to this industry, not to mention the counties or states, even the citizens of the entire world would be provoked into revolt, and the Imperial Court would soon collapse.
Moreover, the sects and noble families also possessed the highest individual martial power in the world.
Even if a one-man martial power was unable to compete with the troops, he could still make a killing.
As long as the Imperial Court dared to attack the aristocratic families of the sect, they would dare to let the current high officials and even the Imperial Family die suddenly. Many dynasties have also been destroyed like this.
Hence, there had never been a thousand year old dynasty in this world, but thousands of years old aristocratic sects and families were everywhere.
The three Holy Lands of the Dao Sect, the six Holy Lands of the Buddha Sect, the 13 Evil Sects, the Nine World Swords, the 12 World Gangs, and the 16 world Families were all incredible powers.
The Seven Distinguished Families were among the 16 famous Families.
But in reality, the Seven Distinguished Families were already the top faction with a history and bloodline of over 3,000 years. It was an existence on the same level as the head of the Dao Sect, Dao Yi Palace, and the head of the Buddha Sect, Baolin Buddha Hall.
The other Nine Families were not on a level with the Seven Honorable Families.
“It is said that the Seven Distinguished Families are the main supporters of the founding of Jin Agung.” Liu Litao knew more about the Imperial Court. “More than 200 years ago, at the end of the Da Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos and countless heroes rose up.
At that moment, the founding ancestor of the Great Jin was actually only from a small inconspicuous faction. Coincidentally, she was married to a noble daughter of the Wang Clan of Langya. That was how he gained support and quickly became famous. Then, he gained the support of the other six Wang Families and finally swept the world to establish Great Jin.”
“Yes, I've heard about this before.” Xu Feng'an nodded. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and smiled. “By the way, there are other rumors that I don't know if it's true.”
"Oh?" Cui Heng asked with interest, "What rumors?"
"I will explain, My Lord," Xu Feng'an replied respectfully. “It is said that the Seven Distinguished Families have suffered great losses to support the rise of the founding ancestors of the Great Jin Dynasty, especially the Wang family of Langya. They almost perished.
Moreover, it triggered a martial world disaster more than 200 years ago—Hongwu Heavenly King killed all the Divine Realm experts in the world.”
"Who?" Cui Heng could only raise his eyebrows.
