On this day, Zhang Zhongjun had just come out of the noble pearl and was about to take a breath, when a retainer who was sent to Guangnan Mansion to purchase supplies hurriedly ran over to report: "Lord, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhongjun asked suspiciously.

The retainer said in a panic: "The White Lotus Sect suddenly went crazy, and actually suddenly attacked the six county towns of the land of the three prefectures where they were in turmoil, and they were all defeated! Now they are coercing the officials and gentry of these six counties to attack the capital cities of the land of the three prefectures!"

"What?!" Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but be stunned, in the past, the White Lotus Sect did have a strong behavior that ravaged half of the country, not to mention attacking the capital city, the provincial capital had been breached.

It's just that as the White Lotus Sect has been suppressed again and again, the later White Lotus Sect has become weaker and weaker, and even in recent decades, although the White Lotus Sect has been able to crisscross several prefectures together, it has never had the merit of breaking through the county seat, at most it is to break a few towns, and it is completely only raging at the village level.

And this is one of the reasons why the officials of the Great Chen Dynasty connived and ignored the White Lotus Sect to rage, those untouchables in the countryside died when they died, and the hillbillies in the town were destroyed and destroyed, and even these government personnel wished that the White Lotus Sect would destroy more towns, so that they could harvest a lot of loot when the White Lotus Sect was exterminated in the future.

But now, the White Lotus Sect suddenly went crazy, and actually attacked the six county towns, and then coerced everyone! This coercion, Zhang Zhongjun knew what it meant, that is, to turn all the people in the six county towns into puppets controlled by the evil scepter.

Thinking of the population of the six county seats, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, the White Lotus Sect was really crazy, you must know that in the six county towns, no matter what, more than six million people will become puppets.

And although these six million puppets are divided into three shares, each of them has two million people, and these two million people go to attack Fucheng, I believe that it is definitely ants biting elephants to death, and no matter how cattle in Fucheng are, they will collapse under the impact of two million people. And once the White Lotus Sect completes the capital city of the Three Mansions, the other counties will have no room to fight back, with the madness of the White Lotus Sect, it is impossible to say that they will turn all the people in the Three Mansions into puppets, and then start to wreak havoc on the world!

"What's the government's reaction?" asked Zhang Zhongjun eagerly.

"The garrison and local gangs have been summoned to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect. The retainer hurriedly replied.

"It's so fast, it seems that the county seat is being breached is the warning point of the government, and I thought those bureaucrats would wait for a while before they started. Zhang Zhongjun nodded.

The retainers smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, it's strange that the official government is not moving quickly, because the officials and gentry in the six county towns are all coerced by the White Lotus Sect, which causes the death of the rabbit and fox of the officials and gentry of the Great Chen Dynasty, so they who originally wanted to wait for the White Lotus Sect to loot more can't wait." ”

"So, the Great Chen Dynasty has already taken action against the White Lotus Sect, how is our water forest area? Have you summoned me back to form a force to participate in the conquest?" Zhang Zhongjun asked.

As soon as these words came out, the retainers' faces were not very good-looking, and after a while, they replied: "My lord, when the White Lotus Sect conquered the six county towns and coerced everyone, all your positions in Heyuan Mansion were dismissed, and now there is a new district chief in Shuilin District, and it is said that as soon as this new district mayor took office, he wantonly recruited strong men, and wantonly embezzled the money you left for the district government, and is concentrating on preparing to support the crusading army formed by Heyuan Mansion. ”

"What about the manpower I arranged in the Shuilin District?" asked Zhang Zhongjun with a frown.

"Because the new head of Shuilin District has brought a large number of people to take office, and all the positions have been taken over by his people, so our people are now demoted to civilians, and now they are moving to our side with their families. The retainers replied very aggrievedly.

Zhang Zhongjun was not surprised at all that Heyuan Mansion had been exempted from all his positions, and after he became a nobleman, he was mentally prepared to be removed from all his positions. After all, aristocrats and officials are completely two systems, that is, those, so that they can have the status of an official at the same time as a nobleman.

And he is not a, so he is naturally not qualified to enjoy this treatment, so people go to tea and cool, especially if they become nobles who do not deal with the government, it is strange that their official positions are not removed.

It's just that Zhang Zhongjun didn't expect the new district chief to do so thoroughly, and actually dismissed all the people he appointed. As a result, I didn't expect people to care about the face at all, and they had already prepared for it, otherwise it would not have been possible to bring so many people who could be replaced immediately.

"What about our shop?" Zhang Zhongjun asked again.

"It's been sealed, and it's said that it's a crime of incomplete information, tax evasion, or something, but what is it said that it's for the sake of your face, so I let it go for the time being, and I didn't arrest the shop staff. It's just that because the district government came forward, all the contracts signed before were nullified, and all the timber we collected before became the timber of the government. It seems that they have been spying on our timber trade for a long time, and it is said that the new district chief has sent people down the river to Magong Town to contact the trade!" said the retainer angrily.

Hearing this set of methods one after another, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but scold: "Damn, is this Heyuan Mansion preparing to remove its traces? Lao Tzu really offended the new government so ruthlessly? I remember that Lao Tzu has never seen him!"

However, Zhang Zhongjun was just scolding, and now he is really helpless against Heyuan Mansion, even if he is inexplicably provoked so many people to attack, remember that he did not harm their interests?

Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's only because I hold Lord Li's famous thorn in my hand, I'm afraid that those who attack me are forces that don't deal with Lord Li, such as the Xinfutai of Heyuan Mansion, and the inexplicable Thirteen Princes.

Forget it, it's okay to be a nobleman obediently, and Lao Tzu ignores other things, whether your White Lotus Sect is raging across the country, or whether your Great Chen Dynasty sends troops to quell the rebellion, it's none of your business!

It's just a pity that the time I worked so hard to build the water forest area was wasted.

Zhang Zhongjun, who calmed down, put aside the affairs of the Shuilin District since then, and he didn't bother to take care of Luo Zhengrong's affairs, damn it, give him so many benefits, Lao Tzu didn't come to the ceremony when he was canonized as a nobleman, plus the supply of timber is gone, and it is estimated that he has nothing to do with this goods. It's a shame that I still vigorously wooed him at the beginning, and gave him [Flame Fist] to practice together, but fortunately, in order to seduce him for a long time, I only gave the beginning of [Flame Fist], which is not too much of a loss!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun waved his hand and asked his retainers to properly receive the retainers and their families who would arrive soon, and then he concentrated on building his noble pearls.
