Chapter 538: Killing the Official
As the sweep of the Heavenly Shogunate became more and more effective, the people of the Xuanyin Sect finally realized that this seemingly random identity certificate actually contained a lot of things. Although they still don't know how the Heavenly Shogunate used to screen them out, the Xuanyin Sect has begun to encourage the people to fight against registration.www.biquge.info
The bustling sun sprinkled the land, and the barren state in October began to show a hint of desolation. In the southerner part of the Arashi, there are vast plains. The people of this era are following the pace of the land, and where there is land, they gather there.
From a distance, the continuous farmland is neatly organized. Endless smoke rises. The county magistrate of Dechi County wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the water handed by his subordinates, and drank it fiercely.
This is his jurisdiction, and it is also his proudest political achievement. He has worked in Dechi County for 30 years, from a middle-aged genius to the current twilight old man, he has paid his whole life for Dechi County, and he is also loved by the people of Dechi County. The local people, as long as they mentioned Dechi County, Ling Jinkang all gave a thumbs up and called him a good official.
In the early years, Jin Kang also had the ambition of staying in the capital to worship the marquis, but as he grew older and matured, his ambition for promotion gradually let go. In his current thinking, governing a country is the same as governing a place. It is also for the well-being of the people, so why care about the size of authority.
This time, he handled the household registration and identity certificates of the people under his rule in the name of Taishoufu, and the other counties were struggling, but he was the only one who went extremely smoothly under the rule of Jin Kang. He was also the first to complete the urban household registration process, and now, he leads his subordinates to go to the countryside to handle it door-to-door. Maybe after this time, it is time for him to ask the court to tell him to return to his hometown.
Thinking of the big fat grandson who had just been born at home, a happy smile appeared on Jin Kang's face, and he quickly swallowed half of the bread in his hand, slowly stood up straight and patted the dust on his body.
"Let's go, there are still five villages waiting for us to register, and when we are done here, we will almost finish it in our jurisdiction, and then we will give everyone three days off!"
"Thank you, sir, slow down!" his subordinate yacha hurriedly bowed down and thanked, looking at Jin Kang's stiff body, and eagerly stepped forward to help.
I think when I first came, I walked all the towns and villages in Dechi County with these two feet and didn't feel tired, but now I have walked like this for a long time, and my legs are no longer obedient......
"Your Excellency, you are still strong. Yacha hurriedly smiled and comforted.
It was just past noon, but the smoke of the cooking stove in the countryside was still faintly rising. In order to save a bite to eat, farmers generally only eat two meals a day. Only when the farm is busy, in order to ensure physical strength, three meals a day.
The group came to the gate of a village, and at the door of the village were two huge braziers, which were piled up with thick soot that seemed to have just been burned. Although there is little smoke in the village, there is no one in the village.
Jin Kang was a little curious, and looked at the entourage around him suspiciously, "I remember that this village was called Fulai Village, it used to be very lively, but now why does it seem so quiet?
"It's farm time, what's there to be busy? Looking at the smoke at home, maybe everyone is cooking at home......
"Who is it?" Before Yacha's words could fall, a shout suddenly sounded. At the head of the village, where there was no one just now, four or five people jumped out like lightning and shouted at Jin Kang and his party.
When the people came to see the outfits of Jin Kang and his party, they were stunned, and the two hurriedly put away the guy in their hands and stood in place with some embarrassment, "Jin ...... Lord Kim, ...... Why are you here?"
"What are you doing? Why are you so wary when you see us, this place is in the open air, all the way to the flat river, there are no mountain and forest bandits, no wild beasts and fierce objects, but what are you doing as if you are facing a great enemy?
"Lord Jin, the grass people, the grass people are here, the grass people are here-" As the voice came, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe strode from afar. Although there was a flattering smile on his face, a trace of gloom flashed in the depths of his eyes. When the visitor came to Jin Kang, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"Adults don't know, today is the day of ancestor worship in our village, in order not to disturb others, we have arranged people to patrol the entrance of the village, this is the custom of our village, please don't be surprised. My lord, how did you have time to come to Fulai Village today? ”
"It's nothing, a few days ago I ordered people to come to each village to tell me that everyone must apply for a household registration identity certificate, don't you know? The time limit is half a month, but no one in your village has come to handle it. Now I wonder why I came?"
"This ......" the visitor's eyes rolled sharply, and in an instant, he patted his head and showed a flattering smile, "Don't blame me, adults, look at the grass people's brains." A few days ago, there was indeed a messenger to tell me, but these days I was busy worshipping my ancestors and forgot about it for a while. The grass people know their mistakes, and the grass people know their mistakes!"
"Well, it's not a big deal. Jin Kang looked at the mayor of Fulai Township with a sincere attitude and didn't think much about it, and said coldly indifferently. As an official of the imperial court, he should also have the prestige he should have, and his indifferent eyes swept the villagers, and he suddenly felt a little weird.
Just as Jin Kang wants to show his majesty, these ordinary people will subconsciously show fear when they see officials. No matter how approachable the official is, it's the same. But although the villagers in front of him were all standing behind the chief, they didn't dodge when they looked up at their group, let alone dodge, and even had a hint of unkindness in their eyes.
"My lord, when we finish worshipping our ancestors today, we will take the whole village to the county government early tomorrow morning to register, what do you think?" Li Chang's eyes rolled, and he came to Jin Kang's ear with a smile on his face and said in awe.
"No need, this time I brought the official who handled the household registration. When the official arrives here, he will come to the door to handle the household registration for you. Every family, even children, by the way, why don't you see little babies in this village?" Jin Kang swept around suspiciously.
In the previous villages, although the people were in awe of them, the children in the village were not. Singing children's songs, bouncing is very lively. But this Fulai Village, I have been here for a while, but I haven't even seen a child.
"That...... Because of today's ancestor worship, children are not allowed to run around and are locked up at home by adults. My lord, please inside, please inside, I will gather all the villagers. Adults are so busy with official business, they still have to work hard for us. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"
Under the guidance of the lieutenant chief, Jin Kang walked towards the village. Stepping into the village, Jin Kang's heart suddenly became a little uneasy, and even the wind that blew there was a faint fishy smell. Although Jin Kang didn't know why the boss suddenly asked everyone to make a register, it was obviously impossible to do it rashly.
In addition, during this period of time, I often heard that the Xuanyin Sect was rampant, and somehow, a trace of doubt flashed in Jin Kang's heart. Unconsciously paused, Jin Kang paused, and the entourage around him stopped. The lieutenant who led the way in front turned around with a smile on his face and looked at Jin Kang with some playfulness.
"What's wrong with your lordship?" said Satoga's smile was bright, like a fox stealing a chicken. In the depths of his eyes, there was a flickering cold glow, Jin Kang had lived a lifetime, how rich was his life experience?
"That...... The official suddenly sounded, and there was still an important official business that had not been dealt with. In this way, you will come to the yamen early tomorrow morning to register on your own, and you must not forget anything else. This is an edict of the imperial court, and it cannot be prevaricated. The official will leave first......" Jin Kang said with a pretended calm and majestic voice.
"Quack quack...... My lord, isn't it too late to go at this time?" the lieutenant suddenly put on a sinister smile, and there was no need for him to pretend at this time. Jin Kang's heart suddenly chuckled, and his face turned as white as paper in an instant.
"You...... What are you going to do......" Before he finished speaking, he felt that the vision changed as soon as he saw a flower in front of him. I don't know when, the lieutenant on the opposite side is already close in front of me. Just as he wanted to retreat backwards, he suddenly shuddered all over, and only felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The whole arm of the long man had been inserted into Jin Kang's body fiercely, sticking out from behind his back and dripping with sticky blood. This scene immediately frightened the accompanying officials stupidly, although they had a public meal, but how could they have seen such a bloody and cruel picture?
"Kill!" the middle-aged elder gave an order, and the villagers around him instantly turned into demons, pounced on the sluggish pressure difference like wolves. Under the golden sunlight, amber blood sprayed wantonly, and in just a few breaths, the dozen or so officials who accompanied him all fell in a pool of blood.
Looking at the Yacha who had been killed, the middle-aged man's face did not show a trace of happiness and joy, but was gloomy as if the clouds could not be dissolved, "Go and report to the chief rudder, the tenshofu has stretched out its claws to the countryside, and ask the chief rudder to instruct as soon as possible, otherwise the local branches may be more auspicious." Urgent!"
Suddenly, the north wind struck, and the sky suddenly began to rain. Ning Yue held the teacup in her hand, and her face was as dark as the clouds in the sky. Although it had been expected for a long time, when I heard the loss reported by my subordinates, I still felt a pain in my heart.
However, how can there be immortals in war? Ning Yue actually knew in her heart that those Xuanyin Sect disciples who were hiding in the towns were only a few secret spies, and most of the Xuanyin Sect disciples were hiding in the folk countryside.
After knowing the strategy of the Tenshogunate, the Xuanyin Sect also began a fierce counterattack. But in the face of the encirclement and ambush of the Heavenly Shogunate, the struggle of the Xuanyin Sect was also a dying struggle. But even if it was a dying struggle, the casualties caused to the Tenshofu were so shocking.
