Chapter Thirty-One: Gains and Losses

Because the spirit candle resided for a long time, his body could completely wi...“We agreed on this before, we clearly agreed. Hundreds of people in the firm are waiting for their lives! How can you just not count it!”
"How can the Hou Mansion maintain its credibility with such constant shifts in policy"
“Aren't you ashamed of yourselves, bullying people like this Do you think the authorities won't know!”

"Master Jiao, Master Jiao, please don't do this, please don't. What have I done wrong Please tell me so I can fix it. I'll apologize, I'll make amends, I'll even kneel down! Please"
The person begging for mercy was kicked far away, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.
"No, this can't be happening... " he muttered painfully.
"Get lost!" A brawny man in fine clothes stood before the Houchun residence, likely one of their household guards. He pointed his spear menacingly at the person he addressed, his voice harsh: "If you come back to cause trouble again, I'll kill your entire family!"
The pleading voice abruptly ceased. The person on the ground gritted their teeth and endured for a moment, catching their breath before slowly getting up and walking away.
Jiang looked far away, and recognized the person.
When the banquet was held in the inner courtyard, when the Marquis Wugong suddenly arrived, everyone stood up to greet him. Some guests even rushed out of the door to welcome him. This man was one of them.
It must have been that action which offended the Wei Ning Marquis's mansion, causing whatever was agreed upon earlier to fall through.
The specifics are unknown, but for the merchant firm this person belonged to, it must have been a matter of life and death. But for the grand and influential Weineng Marquis's Residence, perhaps it was like shooing away a stray dog, insignificant and unimportant.
Jiang Wang stood silent, silently moving further away into the darkness.
Can we say that the man who was driven away brought this upon himself Can we say that he was foolish and couldn't see the situation clearly No matter how he puts it, he represents a merchant firm with hundreds of people. Among ordinary people, he should be considered to have some wealth. But in front of these two meritorious marquises, does he amount to anything
Hearing the name of Wugong Hou, how could he not scramble to greet him
The Wei Ning Household became so forceful because of this matter.
The burly man who threatened with his voice must be a soldier from the Wei Ning Marquis's mansion. Jiang Wang could tell that the threat to "kill your whole family" was not empty bluster, but carried a real murderous intent.
Just look at how frightened the person being threatened is, and you'll know how persuasive that statement is.
Can just anyone from the Wei Ning Hou Mansion go around killing entire families
From this incident, it can be seen that for the Weining Marquis's Mansion, Yong Guo's laws are simply a joke!
A power that cannot be maintained by rules is chaotic, terrifying, and unstable. This applies to both nations and sects.
Jiang Wang then thought again, Feng Yue came to celebrate his birthday with heavy gifts and apologize, but unexpectedly was arrested.
He certainly didn't have any feelings for Feng Yue, nor did he know anything about his character. But just looking at this matter, Qingyun Pavilion, the most powerful sect within Shun'an Prefecture, was framed by Weining Houfu without a shred of evidence. They didn't even bother to come up with a decent excuse, let alone fabricate any proof!
Let's think back to that time at Chiyun Mountain, the secret place of historical transmission in Qingyunting. Jiao Xiong said he would participate, and even became the leader. Regardless of what happened behind the scenes, at least on the surface, Chi Yue still had to fawn over Jiao Xiong. Even though Chi Yue's true strength was clearly stronger than Jiao Xiong's!
Qingyun Pavilion is not some nobody. Even in Shun'an Prefecture, it has a reputation that commands respect. To be treated like this... What about others What about the other factions It's easy to imagine they suffer even more.

Wéining's contempt for the laws of Yongguo permeated his very bones.
Just like the country of Yong had just emerged from the brink of national ruin after a devastating defeat, Wei Ning Hou's birthday banquet was so extravagant and lavish.
It's not that the Yong Nation lacks funds, nor is it saying that Marquis Weineng has to tighten his belt and live frugally. Rather, in such a difficult time, shouldn't someone like Marquis Weineng, one of the most powerful figures in the Yong Nation, lead by example and share the burden
Even a cold-hearted person like Zhuang Gaoen can be frugal and thrifty, since his ascension to the throne, not a single tile has been added to the palace.
In the end, Jiao Wu wasn't even willing to bother with face.
All of these are not attitudes formed in a day or two. They are habits left over from past years, the accumulated problems of history.
This is not just Jiao Wu's problem.
The key issue isn't why Jiao Wu did this, but rather how he was able to do it.
At this very moment, witnessing everything unfolding before her eyes, Jiang Wang suddenly understood why Han Xu had to reform the government. She understood why, at a time when the nation had just emerged from the brink of collapse, he had initiated such a drastic and intense transformation.

The once prosperous nation of Yong had decayed to its very core. This ancient kingdom, steeped in history, had rotted away over countless years. Beneath its superficial splendor lay the festering rot of decay and corruption. With each day that Han Yin held sway, Yong descended further into an abyss of ruin.
Once he understood this, Jiang Wang's perspective broadened suddenly. Many things that had been unclear became clear at once. Looking at the overall trend of the Yongzheng reform, everything had a new explanation.
Jiao Wushou's banquet, Mo Jingyu's visit, can perhaps be seen as the Yongguo conservative forces vying for the Mo Sect. Of course, from the perspective of the Mo Sect, it could also be another faction within the Mo Sect that is dissatisfied with Han Xu, extending an invitation to the Yongguo conservative forces.
But Marquis Wu's sudden visit was to break this connection.
The war has ended, and the reckoning could have happened long ago, but Han Xu remained motionless until today, when he finally exposed the traitor from Jiao Guo.
The confrontation at the banquet. It was Marquis Wugong Xue Mingyi, representing Prince Yong Han Xu, who forced Hou Weining Jiao Wu to make a statement. Due to this pressure, Jiao Wu had to take a stand. Otherwise, he would have been accused of treason.
>
Wei Ning's statement is a clear break from the faction opposed to Han Xu, which aligns with Mo Men.
Perhaps this was why Mo Jingyu's mood had soured. This trip of his had been for nothing.
As for later taking hold of Feng Yue, Jiao Wu might have been venting his anger, or perhaps he was simply continuing his plan from before. Perhaps...he wanted to make one last profit before the complete overhaul of the government.

Information from the Weining Houfu is insufficient to make an accurate judgment. But regardless of the reason, his appetite will be astonishing.
Fortunately, Jiang Wang had already told Feng Ming and Chen Qing about their formidable abilities. If that person was intelligent enough, they should know what to do.
Even if the other person doesn't understand or is unwilling, Jiang Wang suffers no loss. It's just watching a fire from afar. Whether it's a heroic or tragic end, they are matters of other people's households.
Of course, the better off Feng Yue is, the more convenient it will be for him to get on this line. So Feng Ming had better be smart about this.
Night silently flowed past.

As the sky began to lighten, a massive convoy emerged from afar, like a long serpent slowly slithering towards the residence of the Wei Ning marquis. Just from the deeply rutted tracks left behind, one could tell how much was being transported within the carriages.
Feng Chi rode a tall horse, at the head of the procession.
In just half a night, his condition had deteriorated considerably. There was a kind of fatigue that shouldn't appear on an extraordinary cultivator, one that couldn't be concealed. But perhaps because he had accomplished something major, his eyes shone brightly.
He glanced at Jiang Wang by the roadside, met her eyes, and confirmed that there were no unexpected changes. Then, he leaped off his horse and strode to the plaque of Wei Ning's residence, striking the doorbell.
His steps were firm, and his hands steady.
He has made up his mind.
Having already received the news, Jiao Guan pushed open the door just in time and looked at Feng Chi with some surprise: "What's this"
Today, Feng Ming bows deeply, a stark contrast to yesterday's raging arrogance.

His voice was both loud and earnest: "It is said that treacherous spies from the Jiao State are causing chaos in Wei Ning. The people of Shun An Prefecture deeply resent them! Although Qing Yun Ting is small and poor, it also has a patriotic heart. My father, Feng Yue, is the guardian of Qing Yun Ting, and he received imperial grace and national favor. I am willing to spend all my family wealth to assist Lord Hou in marching into Jiao State and pacifying the western frontier of our Great Yong!"
Whether these words were his own or polished by someone else, they were certainly eloquent and heartfelt.
He looked at him deeply, his previous disdain gone.
“Young Master Feng, please wait a moment. Allow me to go and make a report.” With that said, he turned around and returned to the mansion.
The principle that "when one loses land, they lose their humanity; when one loses people, everyone loses," is well-known to many. However, not everyone has the courage to squander all their wealth.
Just today's experience alone made Feng Ming's impression of him drastically different.
The Wuning Hou Mansion, like a monstrous beast with its jaws wide open, devoured an entire convoy of wealth. It swallowed the entire sealed family, leaving nothing but bones and skin, yet in the end, it only spat out Feng Yue.
In the history of the past, under the glamorous facade of Yong Nation, how many such behemoths silently gnawed at the flesh and blood of this country Those standing at the pinnacle of this nation could not have been oblivious, nor could they have been unaware. Even each one of them was deeply ensnared within it.
But Han Yin didn't care, Han Xu couldn't stand it.
Perhaps Yongguo might rise from the ashes, or perhaps it will fall to disease. Before that moment truly arrives, no one knows for sure. Perhaps national affairs cannot be measured simply by right and wrong, perhaps any decision can find numerous justifications and reasons. But perhaps, right and wrong lie within each individual's heart.
It may be simple, but it is not shallow.

Just thinking about it, one could tell how agonizing this night must have been for Feng Yue. The more intelligent a person is, the more agonizing it becomes. Life and death were entirely in other people's hands; he was trapped in between, unable to control his fate, left only to wait for destiny's arrival.
That kind of pain can drive a person to the brink of insanity.

But at this moment, Feng Yue walked out of Hou's Mansion with high spirits and a beaming smile. He greeted Jiao Guan as brothers, bidding farewell warmly and affectionately. It seemed he had simply been hospitably entertained by the Hou Mansion, so he stayed overnight as a guest. His lifetime savings were like the wind passing by his side.

This qigong practice alone is worth learning for decades to come.
The gates of the Marquis' mansion slowly closed, and Feng Ming stepped forward to greet his father. Jiang Wang followed silently. This was the perfect time to be at the core of the Feng family's affairs, and he certainly wouldn't miss it, but he wouldn't steal the show either.
When he arrived, he came with a whole convoy of vehicles. When he left, he walked away empty-handed. The family's years of hard work and savings were gone in an instant.
Feng Ming cried out, overwhelmed by grief. "We have lost everything," he lamented.
"No, we have everything."
Feng Yue turned his head and patted Feng Ming's shoulder forcefully: "Ming'er, I used to think you were not sensible. Now I realize that it was because as a father, I ignored you. You have already grown up! You did very well this time! Your filial piety is commendable, and your thoughtfulness is even more commendable!"
Feng Ming's gaze swept over Jiang Wang for a moment, but he remained silent in the end.
“This is the duty of a son!” he said.
