Chapter 374: Infighting in Middle-earth
The Liberty King stared at the judge of the Punishment Division and said seriously: "The Freedom Alliance is indeed inferior to Xudu, but we have no choice. ”
"The era of the end of the law is coming, and in order to protect themselves and occupy a place in Middle-earth, they continue to oppress our group of ghost people living at the bottom."
"All kinds of exorbitant taxes have risen sharply, reaching five or six times the usual amount! The ghost people who can't pay taxes are directly refined into soul beads by you as nutrients, and the ghost people who can afford to pay taxes can't bear your layers of taxes, and sooner or later they will also be refined into soul beads! ”
"Those high-ranking old men have never thought about how we live, and they have never cared about our life and death."
"If you continue to wait, you can only die!"
"Your Excellency, please get on your way!"
"Don't worry, after your soul is gone, you don't have to worry about the strife in this world anymore!"
When he said this, he shouted, "Execution! ”
I saw the cyan flames suddenly rise, and in an instant, one hundred and thirty souls turned into one hundred and thirty cyan torches!
The flames kept rising upward, and the burning ghost soldiers screamed again and again.
But the souls of the onlookers under the city gate applauded loudly.
Take the ghost city, burn down the evil judges, abolish the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and reformulate the tax rate.
All of a sudden, the prestige of the Liberty King rose dramatically in the city.
Zhang Baiqiang and I watched it for a while, and then we were taken to the City Lord's Mansion by the non-mainstream.
And the Liberty King is waiting for us in the living room.
It was my first time getting up close and personal with the rumored Liberty King.
I had seen it once secretly outside the River Styx, and then again when the Judge of the Evil Division was burned at the gates.
Now it's the third time.
Judging from the degree of condensation of the soul, the strength of the Liberty King is at least an A-level, that is, the level of the Ten Palaces of Yama.
And he was dressed very interestingly, a tunic from the twenties and thirties of the last century, and from this point alone, I can judge the time of his death.
It was the era of warlord warfare before the formation of Middle-earth.
If you count the time, it's been about 100 years now.
When we entered, the King of Liberty was looking down at a book.
The so-called book is actually made of paper unique to Xudu, and some important things are recorded on it.
Seeing us enter, the King of Liberty looked up from his seat, then smiled at us and said, "Friends from Middle-earth, please be seated. ”
Zhang Baiqiang said grinningly: "Lord Liberty, I am Zhang Baiqiang. ”
The Liberty King laughed, "I've heard diplomats say that if you hadn't set a fire in the River Styx, we wouldn't have been able to get in touch with Middle-earth. ”
"Also, you've done a lot for the Freedom Alliance, and everyone in the Alliance is grateful to you."
Zhang Baiqiang waved his hand and said, "You pay the money, and I will do the work." How much money to pay, how many things to do, Tong Su is not bullied, there is no need to thank me. ”
The Liberty King nodded: "Don't worry, although the Freedom Alliance is poor, the fee that should be paid to Mr. Zhang will not be less at all, as long as I am still the head of the Freedom Alliance, this promise will always be valid!" ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at me seriously, and said, "Mr. He Yongheng, I really didn't expect you to come to the underground world. ”
"Do you know that now because of you, the whole of Middle-earth is almost turned upside down!"
I was surprised and said, "What? ”
The Liberty King took a document from the table, tossed it in his hand, and it appeared in front of me.
I reached out and took it, only to find that my picture was printed in the most prominent part of the document!
Judging from the format and text of the document, it is clear that this was issued by Middle-earth.
The Liberty King said: "Mr. He Yongheng, now your fame can be regarded as spreading all over the country, Yin and Yang. Middle-earth almost had infighting for you. ”
"This document was jointly signed by the Governor's Office, the Consulate, the Secret Bureau, and the Inspectorate, and then sent to the Uncursed Road Base."
"It just so happens that we have trade dealings with the Uncursed Road Base, so Master Sima also gave us a copy of the document, hoping that we can help Middle-earth find you."
When he said this, he smiled: "Let's say it first, the price paid by Middle-earth is very high, whoever finds you will be able to take this batch of rewards, and I will not be polite when the time comes." ”
My heart was shocked.
What happened in Middle-earth during the time I came to the capital?
Infighting? Who quarreled with whom?
This document was jointly signed by the four departments of Middle-earth, which roughly means that the entire Middle-earth, Yin and Yang worlds, as long as they are friends of Middle-earth, must do their best to find He Yongheng.
Once found, it is to be safeguarded immediately and reported to the four major departments of Middle-earth.
When the time comes, you will also be rewarded by Middle-earth.
The reward was generous for me to glance at, but that's not the point.
The point is that I suddenly had a terrible problem in mind.
I am the usherer of the Old Gods or the savior of Middle-earth.
As early as when Zhang Sanfen was about to take over as the leader of the evil suppression team, the people in the Consulate thought that I was the usher of the old gods, and as a result, two old gods came at that time and wanted to take me away directly.
But Wei Wuguo came out of nowhere and killed an old god on the spot, and at the same time, Old Man Zhang of Taihang Mountain also personally took action and expelled another old god.
Wei Wuguo once told me that he would always trust me and guarantee my safety.
But after the two old gods came to snatch me, it seems that I am really confirmed as the old god usher.
The infighting in Middle-earth must be a disagreement between the Secret Bureau and the Consulate.
Moreover, the document also said that all those who belong to Middle-earth, and all friends of Middle-earth, are obliged to bring me back to Middle-earth and hand it over to the relevant departments after finding me.
The term used by this relevant department is very intriguing.
Is the relevant department the Consulate or the Secret Bureau?
Or is it the Governor's Office?
You must know that the attitude of the Hidden Bureau and the Consulate towards me is diametrically opposed.
My heart gradually sank, but my face remained silent, and instead asked, "What about my boss?" ”
"Is there any news of him?"
The King of Liberty said, "Yes." ”
"After you were taken captive at the Middle-earth Exorcist Conference, Wei Wuguo re-presided over the Exorcist Conference and selected the captain of the Ten Squads."
"With his strong intervention, Zhang Sanfen took over the position of captain of the evil suppression team, and obtained the batch of materials prepared by Middle Earth, as well as the right to choose his own team members."
"Zhang Sanfen publicly declared at the conference that He Yongheng is a member of the evil suppression team, if anyone finds you and ensures your safety, he can become a member of the evil suppression team, if he doesn't want to join the evil suppression team, he can take away the materials equivalent to the team members."
"He Yongheng, you are very valuable now, you don't know how eye-catching those supplies are."
"Now the exorcists in the folk are looking for you like crazy, and even the wanted criminals are trying to find you, and then take a batch of resources from Zhang Sanfen."
I glanced at Zhang Baiqiang.
If anyone found me and saved me, it had to be Zhang Baiqiang.
The Liberty King said nonchalantly, "There is one more thing I need to tell you, at least three of the ten captains of the Consulate agree with the meaning of the Consulate, and they think that your existence will bring the old gods into Middle-earth. ”
Three squads......
I smiled wryly.
This also means that three elite squads will capture me and deliver it to the Consulate.
When the Consulate gets me, it won't be Wei Wuguo's final say.
I didn't expect to get so much news when I met the Liberty King once, especially the two attitudes of Middle-earth towards me, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
The Liberty King laughed, "What? Do you feel a little aggrieved? ”
"You are bent on working for Middle-earth, bent on protecting the country, but there are always a group of people who do not approve of you, and even regard you as a guide to the old gods."
I suddenly asked, "In the tenth team, are there any people from the Qi family?" ”
The Liberty King laughed and said, "No." ”
"Not only did the Qi family not get a captain, but even Wei Wuguo publicly exposed what the Qi family did at the conference."
"At present, Qi Zhengyi, a member of the ruling house, has been dismissed, Qi Zhengyang, the deputy envoy of Liaodong Demon Suppression, is under investigation, all the assets of the Qi family have been temporarily frozen, and some Demon Suppression soldiers have rushed to Liaodong to investigate."
"Well, the Consulate and the Secret Bureau almost had infighting, and a large part of it was also because of the Qi family."
I smiled bitterly.
Wei Wuguo asked me and Zhang Sanfen to prevent the Qi family from becoming one of the ten captains, just to avoid a conflict between the Secret Bureau and the Consulate.
But the two old gods came to the venue to make trouble and kidnapped me on the spot.
Wei Wuguo was forced to forcibly investigate the Qi family when the evidence was incomplete, which of course angered the Consulate, and the two sides continued to disagree on the issue of me and the Qi family.
Zhang Baiqiang frowned and said, "What's going on in the Consulate? Is there no distinction between black and white? Is that Chairman Xiao also a capitulation faction? ”
I shook my head: "If Chairman Xiao is a capitulation faction, he will not become the president of the Consulate. ”
"The ruling house is a voting system, and one member occupies a seat, and even Chairman Xiao can't have the final say."
"And now that I'm unknown, it's reasonable for the Consulate to be cautious about me."
Speaking of this, I suddenly looked up at the King of Liberty and said, "My lord, I want to use the retrograde passage to return to Middle-earth!" We hope you find it easy for you! ”
