No one thought that the small Qingxi County had only been in two years, but it had already changed four county magistrates, and if Hao Jian was added, it would already be the fifth.

One of the four county commanders was missing, one fell into the water, one died unknown, and one was simply clicked by the bandits.

Tsk, in this way, the position of county commander is really a high-risk industry.

Originally, there was evil in the past life in this world, and the county order in this life is said, the position of the county order is not only low, but also ranked in the position of the ninth grade in Dakang, and the only people who can be bullied below are the county officials and the main book. Therefore, when that official came to the county order, he could only meet with a smile, be responsible for hospitality, and not be sloppy.

If you meet Hao Jian, the county and the master bookkeeper are in one breath, then it will be even more pathetic, and you can only be bullied by others.

"Sir must know something, please sit down."

Hao Jian looked at this Jiang Zhengxing for a while, smiled, and said to him.

Since Jiang Zhengxing came to talk by himself, he naturally knew something, so Hao Jian was not verbose, and directly invited Jiang Zhengxing to sit down.

This Jiang Zhengxing was not polite, put down the teapot and waved his hand at Hao Jian and the others, and quickly sat down: "I have to say that Lord Hao has a good ability, knowing that Li Xin can't fight for the time being, he just let go of his power and let him play by himself." This trick is high to watch the fire from the other side! ”

"Watching the fire from the other side?" When Li Daozheng heard this, he twisted his beard and smiled: "You don't want to talk nonsense, what if this Lord Hao is a corrupt official who likes to work purpose?" ”

"If that's the case, Lord Hao won't hide his identity and talk to that person, wouldn't it be better to show his identity directly?"

waved his hand at Li Daozheng again, and Jiang Zhengxing smiled again.

"You old man really has some meaning, since you know my purpose, then to put it bluntly, what are you doing so much?"

For this mysterious old man, Hao Jian already understood that this person might really know something, but looking at his pretending to be mysterious made Hao Jian a little unhappy.

With an embarrassed smile, Jiang Zhengxing straightened up: "Then don't hide it from Lord Hao." In fact, Xiao Lao'er and Lord Xu Xinzhou have intersected several times, and I also saw him a few days before Lord Xu disappeared, and I remember that Lord Xu was investigating the burning of incense in Qingxi County at that time. ”

"Burning incense?"

Hao Jian's face softened, he had been in Qingxi County for so long, and he had seen a lot of people burning incense in front of the Qingshui River, so he had always been curious about the purpose of these people who burned incense.

Of course, Li Daozheng and Master Li were suspected of being a member of the Wenxiang Sect, so Hao Jian must pay attention to it.

However, Hao Jian has been visiting for a long time, but the people have been avoiding this issue, and no one has explained what this incense burning is for.

"That's right, all the religious believers on our side are called incense burners. That is, smell the fragrance teaching! ”

The old man whispered.

The Smelling Fragrance Sect is a branch of the White Lotus Sect that evolves, and it also follows the childless old mother and promotes what kind of vacuum hometown or something. Their predecessor was Maitreya, but the essence is the same, because they are born with the gene of rebellion, so the court will never spare these people.

"Smell the incense? Is it very hot in Qingxi County? ”

Hao Jian frowned, in the past few days~ he has met a lot of incense burners, presumably the one who smells incense.

"Alas, it was fine when Lord Xu was there, but as soon as Lord Xu disappeared and Li Xin of the county took power, the people were killed, so there were more people burning incense."

With a light sigh, Jiang Zhengxing explained.

The county Cheng Li Xin's wave of people always changed their way to accumulate wealth, which naturally aroused a lot of public resentment among the people. The people living at the bottom had no way and did not dare to resist, so they could only draw circles and curse them on the side. At this time, the people of the Incense Sect came to pay attention when they saw it, don't you want to curse them? Come, just join us, you see we are a mature religion, hundreds of years old, and it is easy to curse people or something.

So this sleepy encounter with the pillow happened like this, and this smelling incense sect grew rapidly.

"Oh? In this way, I am afraid that the fragrance sect has become a climate in Qingxi County? ”

Hearing this, Li Daozheng was a little panicked, and in a hurry, he almost grabbed the beard in his hand.

Now there is such a saying in Qingxi County: Light the pillar incense in Qingxi County, and ten miles and eight towns come to help. Be careful, adults! ”

The power of religion is great, and it is developing rapidly, and a year or two is enough time for rapid development in a world that lacks fools but technology.

It can be said that Jiang Zhengxing's words are not exaggerated, but the most intuitive understanding of Qingxi County by sober people.

Frowning for a moment, Hao Jian was still a little worried when he heard the words of Wen Xiangjiao, but he didn't expect it to be so serious: "Old man, you still continue to talk about the disappearance of Lord Xu Xinzhou, but he told you what he found?" ”

"Actually, at that time, Lord Xu was investigating the matter of the Wenxiang Sect, and he didn't tell me what the specific thing was. However, I remember that there was such a saying in Qingxi County back then: If the world is in turmoil, the heroes will clear the stream. Maybe Lord Xu Benzhong inquired about something at that time, and on the way to investigate, he recruited a villain. ”

Jiang Zhengxing didn't know anything about Xu Xinzhou, after all, he was not Xu Xinzhou's person, so naturally he didn't know more things.

"If the world is in turmoil, will the heroes clear the stream?"

Qingxi County's geographical location is important, not only the throat in and out of the southwest, but also the rear granary of Longyu Pass in front, if there is turmoil in the world ~ chaos here will naturally become a place for everyone to stare at, after all, there is food, then there is vitality.

But how can the world be chaotic?

According to Hao Jian's account, there was indeed a drought and flood the year before last, mainly in the south, but the imperial court solved it urgently, and the matter was quickly resolved. Although he was hungry for nearly two years, he finally got a citizen, although he was the top three in the imperial examination, but he still had the name of Dianyuan that others did not have.

This was a more appropriate remark back then, but in the end it didn't break out, of course this is not the point, the point is who wants to capture Qingxi County?

Could it be the Smell Fragrance Sect?

"It's a pity that after Lord Xu Xinzhou disappeared, the imperial court also sent new officials, but no one was in office for seven days, until Lord Hao arrived this year."

Jiang Zhengxing's words are undoubtedly not reminding Hao Jian that the source of the chaos in Qingxi County began after Xu Xinzhou disappeared, and the turmoil in the entire Qingxi County also began at that time.

Thinking about it carefully, it is also like this, after Xu Xinzhou's disappearance, the county Cheng Li Xin came to power in Qingxi County, and since then the people of Qingxi County have begun to live a dark life. It was also from this time that the Smelling Fragrance Sect began to grow and develop, and finally developed to ten miles and eight townships.

Of course, bandits have always existed, but with Xu Xinzhou's persistence, their courage has also been magnified, and in the end, they actually killed the court officials.

The most terrifying thing is that the officials who succeeded Xu Xinzhou often either had an accident or died in an accident a few days after taking office, which has to make people wonder what is involved behind this!

Did you do it by smelling incense? But it's not, according to the tradition of the Wenxiang Sect, they will always appear when the people are in the most critical situation, call on everyone to stand up and resist together, chant the princes to unveil the slogan of Xiangning, and begin to organize a mighty national counterattack.

Playing conspiracy, this is not the style of the Smelling Fragrance Sect.

"I see, let me ask you again, where are the four adults of my predecessor and their former masters and family members now?"

This is Hao Jian's most curious place, after he came to Qingxi County, the government searched all over but did not find the predecessor's master or even his family, but the entire back office was not a subordinate, only many empty rooms.

"This, in fact, several adults did not bring their families. And a few masters seem to be missing, and the little old man is humble, so it's not very clear. ”

Jiang Zhengxing shook his head, although he could hear a lot of news every day while guarding the teahouse, but after all, these were all internal news from the people, and he didn't know anything about the core matters at all, so he couldn't do anything now.

"The master should be the confidant of the county order in the government, if they disappear, I'm afraid there is something hidden inside."

Li Daozheng twisted his beard and sighed, as an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years, he had already understood that the violent death of these adults should not be so simple.

"In this way, that's all the little old man can say, Lord Hao, do it yourself!"

After speaking, Jiang Zhengxing made a farewell salute to Hao Jian, and then turned around and left with the kettle.

"Thanks, reminder, I'll definitely pay attention."

Seeing Jiang Zhengxing leaving, Hao Jian thought for a while, and after putting down the tea money, he also stood up and prepared to leave.

……

"Rongrong, you take care of it first. I'll go to Kiyomizuji Temple and burn incense. ”

Waiting for Hao Jian and the others to walk away, Jiang Zhengxing frowned, took out a basket, which contained incense paper money, and shouted at his daughter Jiang Rong and walked towards the mountain.

"Oh, Daddy, you're going."

Although she was curious, Jiang Rong did not stop her and continued to serve the guests here.
