After Fang La and his friends left the temple, Zhao Ji immediately turned around and asked Qiao Feng: "Brother Qiao, you have fought with both of them in their business. What do you think of their martial arts skills?"

After hearing this, Qiao Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "Although the man who made the big sword had a little worse internal skills, the tiger's mouth was full of calluses, and the sword skills were definitely not weak. I only touched the leader of Fang La Fang, and I really couldn't figure out his depth. If I wanted to decide the winner, I would have to at least 100 moves to get out of it. As for the monk and scholar, they had strong steps and long qi veins, they should be both martial arts masters who practice both internal and external."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji sighed: "I didn't expect that their martial arts are so skillful. If they want to use the yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture, they will definitely not be arrested and will only hurt their lives. Unfortunately, they can only let them leave Bianliang first."

After hearing this, Qiao Feng's face changed, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, as if he was worried. Seeing Qiao Feng like this, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Brother Qiao thinks they will not die?"

Qiao Feng was silent for a moment before speaking: "Although the man named Shi was vulgar and rude and offended Mr. Zhao, he did not have the intention to be too vicious. As for the fact that the leader Fang wanted to ask for an explanation for his brothers, it was also a common habit in the world..."

Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head and said, "Although my cultivation is not as high as I do it myself, I will not have murderous intentions in life because of this little thing. The reason for this idea is because of the Manichaeism."

"What's the problem with Manichaeism? I have heard of this sect. It is said that no matter how noble or low a person they entered, they all call each other brothers and help each other, which has helped some poor people to fight against the evil gentry and tyranny in the local area, so they are very popular with the people in Liangzhe. Moreover, although these people have great martial arts skills, they have no names in the world, which shows that they are not combative people. Although the man in the Shi family treats people badly, the scholar also said that he should use the rules to punish him, which shows that the rules are still very strict..."

When Zhao Ji heard this, he frowned and said in a cold voice: "Brother Qiao, what you see, this Manichaeism is in great momentum in Jiangnan?"

Qiao Feng pondered for a while before nodding, "Yes, I have been to Jiangnan several times in recent years because of gang affairs. I have seen many people who believe in Manichi. There are about one or two believers in the ten families."

After a pause, he added: "In recent years, the court has imposed new laws on time and abolished them, which has greatly added a lot of burden and trouble to the people. There are many despicable clerks in the local area who also take these opportunities to work on them, fishing meat in the countryside. Although the Jiangnan area is known for being rich, the people are particularly disturbed, so they live a better life than other places. The Manichaeism advocates mutual help, which has attracted many people to believe in them. In some places, even one clan and one clan are believers, in order to fight against the gentry and evil officials who exploited the countryside."

Zhao Ji became more silent after hearing this. He did not doubt the phenomena mentioned by Qiao Feng. Since the Shenzong Dynasty appointed Wang Anshi to reform, the new and old parties in the court have been in constant conflict. Not to mention the distant past, the Empress Dowager Gao, who was in charge of politics a few years ago, appointed a group of old and old ministers to abolish all new laws. However, with the death of Empress Dowager Gao and the current officials began to rule, the new party and all the new laws were reinvigorated one by one.

Zhao Ji did not have much profound research on history and had no experience in governing state affairs. However, he had heard that governing a big country is like cooking small things, and applying politics to the people is most afraid of changing orders every day. Regardless of whether the new laws are good or bad, the court officials are fighting enthusiastically, but the people are unable to bear it. The vitality of the entire Song Dynasty was also consumed in the disputes again and again. The party struggles really ruined the country!

Seeing that Zhao Ji had been pondering for a long time, Qiao Feng said again: "Although there are many believers in the Manichaeism, there are not many evil deeds. I once heard from our brothers in the Beggars' Sect in Jiangnan that these Manichaeisms are kind to others. During drought and flood years, some wealthy believers also have good deeds of building canals and filling porridge. Of course, perhaps there is some conflict with the government, and most of them are poor families who are really unbearable..."

Zhao Ji turned to Qiao Feng and smiled, "I remember that I could compare this Manichaeism to this good deed by Brother Qiao."

"Oh? Mr. Zhao, who are you talking about?" Qiao Feng asked curiously. He talked about so many good deeds and helplessness in Manichaeism, all of which were his own experiences and did not add fuel to the fire. The main purpose was not to let Zhao Ji take the blame for hurting the righteous man. He heard Zhao Ji say that Fang La was a bit relieved compared to the great figures in history. Although he was not a well-read poet, he felt that the person who could leave a name in history must be extraordinary. Zhao Ji said this, because he gave up on his investigation.

Zhao Ji faced Qiao Feng's eyes and said, "Zhang Jiao, a great wise teacher during the Han Dynasty."

Qiao Feng was stunned at first after hearing this, feeling that the name was familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered the story of the Three Kingdoms that he had heard in the teahouse. He was shocked and kept silent, but his mood turned to his Beggars' Sect.

When Zhao Ji saw Qiao Feng's face looked like he was in danger, he said, "Brother Qiao, you don't have to think too much. I commented on the Manichi Cult this way because it is different from the Beggars' Sect. Although the Beggars' Sect is far away from the world, it always pays attention to the human ethics of heaven, earth, king, and teacher and the morality of establishing one's life. However, the Manichi Cult does not talk about these things, and relies entirely on giving benefits to others to win over the people to believe their own opinions. If you immerse yourself in it for too long, over time, you will lack awe of the world's laws and laws. This is the real source of chaos!"

When Qiao Feng heard this, he felt a little calm. He thought of the man named Shi Bao just now that the Zhao Guan family couldn't care about him, and he couldn't help but deepen his understanding of Zhao Ji's words. At the same time, he also secretly alerted himself to warn the gang members of Jiangnan not to approach these Manichaeists who were unrighteous.

After talking to Qiao Feng, Zhao Ji's face darkened and he said to Liang Shicheng behind him: "Go and call the officials in this temple. I have something to ask them carefully!"

At the same time, Fang La led everyone away from Zoroastrian Temple and went upstairs, and went straight to the Watergate Wharf in the south of the city.

The big man Shi Bao said angrily with some dissatisfaction: "Master, we are really going to be threatened by that bastard and leave Bianliang City overnight? I see that he has no ability at all, and he is full of breath and is just right to teach him a lesson. It is so dissatisfied to leave in such a shame!"

The scarred monk Baoguang also said in a hunched voice: "Yes, that guy said something about the 800,000 imperial guards in Bianliang City. It seems that he can make any moves. If he hadn't been concerned about the man beside him's martial arts skills, I would have killed half of his life immediately. Look at how he dared to speak out!"

The Confucian scholar behind Fang La said quietly: "You two can't talk about it. Although the young man has no martial arts skills, his aura is extraordinary and he is not an ordinary person. The servant beside him has a white face and his qi and veins are tender. He seems to be an eunuch in the internal affairs, and his two guards have the same appearance as a military officer. If I guess it's not bad, this young man should be a royal noble, or it's really possible to make the imperial guards difficult for us. It's better to have less trouble than more things. In this Bianliang city, if you really provoke a noble official, it will be a difficult problem for us."

Fang La nodded and said, "The Seven Buddhas observed carefully, and I didn't even see many details. I was surprised that the young man could call out my name in one go. To be honest, it was not that I didn't have any intention to capture him and ask him what happened, but when I had a palm against that man, I was actually at a disadvantage. If I hadn't used the magical power of the Great Transfer of the Universe to secretly pull and divide part of his palm power, it would be difficult for me to maintain an equal situation with him. Of course, if I really sacrificed my life to fight, I wouldn't be afraid of him. But we are not here to fight against others. Since this is the case, why not just avoid him?"

Hearing this, the faces of the three people around Fang La suddenly changed, and Shi Bao couldn't help but exclaim: "Master, you have practiced the magical skill of the universe and the magical movement of the universe. Even those long-known masters in the world are hard to match. How could that man be in his thirties? How could he have mastered such high-level internal skills!"

Fang La shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The world is so great that there are all kinds of strange people. Bianliang is the most prosperous place in the world. It is not a rare thing to meet someone here. Besides, I focus on preaching and managing academic affairs on weekdays, and it is difficult for me to focus on martial arts practice without distractions. I don't expect martial arts to be invincible in the world."

Monk Baoguang pondered, "That man is so powerful in martial arts. He should not be an unknown person. Since his surname is Qiao, is it the Bei Qiao Feng that is widely rumored in the world?"

Before he finished speaking, the Confucian scholar Fang Qifo shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Qiao Feng is the leader of the Beggars' Sect, the largest gang in the world, and the young man is a royal noble in Bianliang City. There is no connection between the two at all, so how could Qiao Feng protect the young man in close proximity! In my opinion, this person should be a master trained by the imperial court. A few years ago, did not say that the Kyoto Imperial Boxing Hall was lifted out? Now it seems that not only did it not be lifted out, but many amazing masters have been cultivated! Master, we must restrain our mission in the future and try to avoid head-on confrontation with the government. If this group of masters really goes south, it will not be a good thing for our Ming Cult."

After hearing this, Fang La couldn't help but look solemn. After pondering for a moment, he said, "You must remember this matter. You should also pay attention to it in the future, especially Shi Bao, you should restrain your temperament and stop showing off your martial arts in front of others and competing for courage with others!"

After being scolded by name, the great man Shi Bao looked shy and asked, "Yes, Master, how are you talking to the Persian monk?"

Speaking of this, Fang La's expression slightly cleared and said with a smile: "Although our Ming Cult has a different pattern, it is of the same origin as the Persian Zoroastrianism. I have benefited a lot from visiting the scriptures in Bianliang City and made up for many omissions in our doctrines. After rushing back to Qingxi, I will carefully sort it out and keep it in the religion and pass it on from generation to generation, which will be of great benefit to the inheritance and development of our Ming Cult!"
