Chapter Fifty-Seven: This Knife Is Unexpectedly Useful
The human head was like a deflated ball that fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping in front of Pei Ruhai, his dead eyes were full of bloodshots, as if telling everyone about his unwillingness.
Pei Ruhai exclaimed, sat down on the ground, and his face was as pale as the head in front of him.
Perennial travel from south to north, especially in the past two years, the Unification Sect has made a lot of trouble, and it is not unheard of dead people, Pei Ruhai's courage naturally cannot be so small, and he is frightened by a human head.
What really made him lose his temper was Jiang Shu's identity.
When the prime minister's grandson!
Lu Xuan is really crazy, even this kind of person dares to kill!
Pei Ruhai almost thought of what kind of predicament Shangyang County would face next.
When Chao Yipin was angry, he would not be surprised even if he razed Shangyang County to the ground.
Not only him, but also the rich businessmen present, whether it is a strong place like Cui Yuan, watching Jiang Shu's head fall to the ground at this moment, all of his faces became difficult to look at.
It is conceivable what Lu Xuan will do next.
But it didn't matter to them how Lu Xuan died, what they were really worried about was whether the anger of the imperial court would implicate them.
During this time, thanks to Lu Xuan's blessing, they were also fortunate to see the destructive power of high-grade monks, and the most important thing is that the thirteen counties of Shangyang do not have the green energy to protect the city, and once the time comes, they will not have the ability to protect themselves at all.
What Lu Xuan said on the stage, no one paid attention, everyone is thinking about their future now, and they must not be implicated by Lu Xuan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sect leader of my family invites you to go to the Lu Mansion for a banquet." Ergou came to everyone with people and hugged his fists at everyone.
Lu Xuan has already left, and today he killed Jiang Shu in public, just to spread the matter, the purpose has been achieved, and the next thing is to talk to these rich people about the future of Shangyang County.
Everyone didn't want to go, but in the face of Lu Xuan's invitation, I am afraid that no one in the entire Shangyang County would dare to refuse.
Lu Xuan is a nostalgic person, three into Sanyang County, the house is still the same as before, it has not been moved, and I don't want to move, and the furnishings have not changed, but today in order to officially commemorate the Heavenly Master, the house is full of white silk.
The lobby was already full of people, but it was so quiet that if you couldn't hear the sound of breathing, you would feel panicked when you suddenly came in.
A person who used to call for wind and rain in the counties of Shangyang County is now sitting upright like a student waiting for the teacher's punishment, and his eyes don't dare to squint.
"What, I'm afraid I'll implicate you?" Lu Xuan brought people in, looked at the appearance of everyone, and sat in his place with a golden knife: "Don't worry, you have given me face during this time, I am a person who holds grudges and remembers gratitude, since you didn't help Jiang Shu, Lu remembered this favor, and today I recruited everyone to come over to repay this favor, and in the future, the business tax will be halved for each family, and two and a half percent of the profit will be enough." ”
If it weren't for the past, this would be good news.
But now that disaster is coming, who wants to hear this at this time.
"Of course, this money is not collected in vain, in Shangyang County, as long as you encounter any problems, as long as you take care of it, I will help you equalize!" Lu Xuan didn't seem to know everyone's thoughts, and said to himself.
"As for the cultivated land, don't think about it, the cultivated land in Shangyang is mine, and whoever touches it will die." Lu Xuan looked at everyone: "I hope you understand, as long as Lu is alive one day, the rules of Shangyang County are set by Lu, and it is not easy for anyone to come, of course, if Lu dies one day, these things will not be under Lu's control, I will call you over today, just these things, if you have nothing else to say, let them go." ”
"Yes, Sect Master, I'll take my leave!" Cui Yuan got up first, and changed his title by the way, just now he had heard that the people of the Guiyi Sect had changed the name of Lu Xuan, and they didn't know the reason for it for the time being, and they didn't bother to know.
In everyone's eyes, Lu Xuan was already a dead man.
"Sect Master, what's wrong with these people today?" After Ergou saw everyone leaving, he looked at Lu Xuan with some puzzlement, even if he didn't want to, in the past, he would stammer a few words in the face of Lu Xuan, but today, one by one, they seemed to be afraid of being involved with Lu Xuan.
"What else, Jiang Shu is Jiang Song's own grandson, I killed him, they were worried about being implicated by me, this is drawing a line." Lu Xuan laughed.
"These shit, I'll get them!" Chen Ergou's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
"Do your own thing, we have time now, there are only two things to do now, learn to deal with your own affairs, and practice, don't worry about the rest, let them go, the second hall of Shenfeng Hall and Shennong Hall is vacant, the hall master of the kamikaze hall I want to choose between you and Xiaobai, but no matter who sits in this hall master, they must have the merit to think about these things." Lu Xuan glanced at Ergou and said.
"Yes!" Ergou could only agree, he didn't really want to do this, but it was not good to brush off Lu Xuan's kindness, so he could only say goodbye and leave.
In the next few days, Shangyang County was calm, Lu Xuan did not appoint a county order, but with or without a county order, it seems that Shangyang County can operate independently.
The Guiyi Sect has also begun to take root among the people, and anyone who has been canonized by Lu Xuan can clearly feel that with the more people in the sect, the stronger the sense of belonging to the Guiyi Sect, the more luck will flow through them, the faster their cultivation will be, and the clearer their minds will be.
Many things that couldn't be figured out before seem to be easily understood now, and even many people have broken through the small realm during this time.
This also made everyone's enthusiasm even higher.
……
On the other side, Tiandu, Chaotian Temple.
Ji Huan frowned and looked at the position of his hand, and frowned: "Why does the prime minister go to the court today?" ”
The Great Cadre Dynasty Meeting was not held every day, and when there was no major event or the emperor summoned them, they would be held two or three times a month, and the courtiers would not be late.
As the head of the courtiers, the prime minister is an example of hundreds of officials, and he will basically not be absent from the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Xiang is now waiting outside the palace for His Majesty's summons." Liu Chunhua bowed and said.
"Huh?" Ji Huan frowned when he heard this, "Why don't you come in?" ”
"Something seems to be going on." Liu Chunhua said uncertainly.
"Declare him into the temple." Ji Huan was impatient.
"Yes." Liu Chunhua raised his throat and shouted outside the hall: "Prime Minister Jiang Song enters the hall!" ”
"Prime Minister Jiang Song enters the hall~"
As the words of a famous attendant came out of the hall, Prime Minister Jiang Song staggered in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, please let Your Majesty be the master of the ministers!" Jiang Song came to the front of the jade steps, fell to his knees with a pop, and sobbed.
"What happened?" Ji Huan frowned.
"Back to Your Majesty, Jiang Shu, the grandson of the old minister, was ordered to go to Shangyang County to quell the thief rebellion, I don't want the thief chief Lu Xuan to be cunning, and designed to lure my grandson into being fooled, not only captured him, but also killed him in public! The old minister dared to beg His Majesty to send troops to quell the rebellion! Jiang Song said mournfully.
Under the jade steps, Zhang Wang and Cao Jingzhong glanced at each other, and they could see the satisfaction in Zhang Wang's eyes.
When I looked at the most beloved son in the hands of Jiang Song, I didn't talk about it at all.
"Bastard!" Ji Huan frowned when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Zhang Yuqing is dead, these remnants of the Unification Sect dare to be so rampant!" Kill the ministers of the court without permission, and be punished! ”
"Your Majesty, you can order the general Yuwentong to lead the elite to quickly quell the rebellion!" Xie Yao stepped out of the queue and bowed.
"Your Majesty!" looked out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "That Shangyang thief Kou, just the remnants of the Guiyi Sect, the imperial court wants to destroy a group of thieves, and even sends the three generals of the dynasty to go out on the expedition, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of the imperial court, so that the people of the world think that the imperial court is unavailable." ”
Ji Huan nodded in agreement and said: "My conquest of the Qingxuan Dao Sect is imminent, and the five grades of the court are cultivated as generals, so they should not be moved lightly." ”
In the battle of Meteorite Valley, Ji Huan had already made up his mind to eliminate the five sects of this Dao Alliance and gather the mountains and rivers seals, not to mention that this matter was originally nodded by him, even if there was no stubble, it would be impossible for Ji Huan to send out a five-grade martial artist at this time.
"But I don't know who Father-in-law Zhang thinks, who is suitable?" Xie Yao frowned slightly, although what Ji Huan and Zhang Wang said was quite reasonable, but the ups and downs of officialdom for many years made him keenly capture a trace of unusual atmosphere, and he didn't refute it at the moment, waiting for the other party to make a move.
"This is a matter of the Ministry of War, how could Xie Shangshu ask our family?" Zhang Wang shook his head and didn't answer.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that there is no need to bring this matter to the court to discuss." Cao Jingzhong said with a smile: "Shangyang bandits, but the mustard of moss, the last time His Majesty asked all localities to recruit soldiers and Ma Anmin, this Shangyang bandits, in the final analysis, is still a matter of officials in the counties of Yunzhou, just let the counties send troops to suppress the bandits, why do you need to send troops from the sky?" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't know, that thief chief Lu Xuan, is Zhang Yuqing's proud disciple, he is cunning and good at fighting, he has repeatedly defeated the official army, and he is not an ordinary thief, and he also asks His Majesty to send the elite of Tiandu to get rid of it as soon as possible!" Jiang Song hurriedly said.
"Oh?" Cao Jingzhong was puzzled when he heard this: "When His Majesty was asked to delegate power to the counties, and the counties recruited troops on their own, it was to relieve the pressure on the imperial court to use troops. ”
Jiang Song's heart sank when he heard this, he frowned and looked at Cao Jingzhong and Zhang Wang, and secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, today's loss of grandchildren was heartbroken, and he messed up the rules, but he was exploited by these two eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that it is not impossible for Tiandu to send troops, but since it is useless to recruit troops from all over the country, and now that the Guiyi Sect has also been destroyed, it is better to return the military power of each county to the imperial court." Cao Jingzhong bowed and said.
Ji Huan didn't answer immediately, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, Lu Xuan's knife was unexpectedly easy to use.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be handed over to the county guards of Yunzhou to deal with." Xie Yao stepped forward and bowed and said, "There is really no need to send troops from Tiandu. ”
This military power was finally released by them to force the Son of Heaven to compromise, how could it be returned to the court because of a trivial matter.
"Your Majesty, now that the imperial court is about to start a war with the Qingxuan Dao Sect, it is indeed inappropriate to dispatch generals to sweep away the small chaos at this time." Cui Yongnian, the secretary of the military department, bowed and said.
Jiang Song looked at this scene and closed his eyes a little helplessly, this matter is indeed not considered, but that Lu Xuan, he must be killed!
"Then the military department will order and order all counties in Yunzhou to cooperate to fight against the thief." Ji Huan nodded and ignored the matter.
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the master of the Tai Academy, if the scholars of the Tai Academy have not gathered the green qi of the city for many days today, in the long run, the safety of the capital is worrying, and I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible."
"Are they pushing me?" Ji Huan snorted coldly when he heard this, and said with a look of displeasure in his eyes: "Regardless of whether the Tai Academy has a master or not, let those scholars go back to me as soon as possible to reunite the green qi of the city!" ”
"Your Majesty......"
Regarding the position of the master of the Tai Academy, a new round of debate was launched in the court again, Jiang Song silently looked at the ministers who seemed to have forgotten him, and felt that he was suddenly rejected by the entire court.
