Day 2.

Early in the morning, the crowd spontaneously gathered around the original precinct.

The whispering is hard to contain.

"What's going on?"

"Yesterday was fine, why did you go out today, and the old man's residence was gone?"

"yes!"

"I heard ......," someone lowered his voice and said:

"It's because of the jealousy of the heavens, and last night a god man made a move and drove all the lords here back to the underworld. ”

"After all, our Anle County has been in good weather all these years, and we don't need these old men to be in charge. ”

"Not necessarily!" someone shook his head, swept left and right, and then whispered:

"I heard that it was done by those who rebelled against the underworld, and there are some martial arts masters who can open mountains and seas. ”

"Be careful, be careful!"

"Impossible, this is hundreds of acres of land, as well as houses, courtyard walls and the like, and there was no abnormal sound in the vicinity last night. ”

"Except for the legendary immortals, who can make these things disappear suddenly?"

"That's right!"

"Silence, an adult is coming. ”

"Shh......h

The tall man walked to the ruins in a daze, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, but only grabbed a void.

Although he is a native of Difu, he has lived in Anle County for many years and has already started a family here.

I won't live here.

And because of this, he escaped.

"How is this possible?" he muttered at this time, his eyes blank, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

In front of him.

The once vast and luxurious underworld courtyard has completely disappeared.

In its original place, there was only one ruin that was three feet into the ground and not an inch long on it.

It's like a pair of invisible hands that take everything in this place, leaving no trace.

According to the feedback from the surrounding neighbors, except for the sudden thick fog, there was no abnormal sound last night.

As soon as you open the door and walk out, this is already the case!

"Your Excellency. A subordinate stepped forward, his face was also pale, and whispered:

"There is news from the government that Lord Wang went to the military camp outside the city yesterday and has never returned. ”

"They didn't say it directly, but they ...... Probably killed!"

"Killed?" tall man's eyes narrowed.

However, in one day, the king of the county government and many masters of the prefecture were all killed.

And those who died in the city during this time......

There is also an army from outside the city stationed in the county town to take over the defense in the hands of the government, won't this be the prince's hall of words in the future?

It can't be so coincidental!

Thinking of this, his heart beat wildly, and he subconsciously wanted to escape from Anle County with his family.

"Drive!"

"Appeal ......"

Someone outside the stadium shouted loudly:

"Let one go, let one go, the prince's convoy is coming, and the people in front of him are all letting go. ”

The carriage came rolling in and stopped beside the tall man.

The curtain of the car was opened, revealing Guo Fan's handsome face, and his expression was slightly indifferent.

"Tall, sir. He sat down in the carriage and looked down:

"What's going on here?"

The tall man stiffened, slowly turned sideways, bowed slightly, and replied in a slightly difficult voice:

"Last night, there was a sudden change here, the courtyard of the underworld disappeared, and many inconsistencies inside were unknown. ”

"Hmm. Guo Fan nodded:

"What clues do you have, Lord Gao?"

"......" Master Gao's eyes flashed, and he shook his head slightly:

"Not at the moment. ”

"Condolences change. Guo Fan's voice was indifferent:

"Since the incident has happened, let's do the aftermath, fortunately, you are not here, and you will not be destroyed. ”

"Yes. The tall man hung his head and did not dare to raise it, and said:

"Thanks to your blessing. ”

"Don't dare. Guo Fan said indifferently:

"Master Gao is a person from the underworld, even if he dies, he has a place in the underworld, how can this king live with protection?"

"Lord Wang. The tall man trembled and said:

Gao has always admired the prince, although he is in the underworld, he has always regarded himself as a subordinate official. ”

"Don't dare...... Don't dare to be disrespectful!"

"Huh?" Guo Fan raised his eyebrows, and looked at him with a smile:

"You're a smart man. ”

"Poof!" the tall man fell to his knees on the spot, and said:

"The prince loves the people like a son and has the common people in his heart, and Gao has also learned the words of the sage, and he is even more convinced by this. ”

He knelt on the ground, his body trembled, but his heart was cold, and the fear was difficult to contain.

The wealthy merchants and officials in the county town were assassinated one after another, and no one knows who is behind the scenes.

But now, even Lord Wang and the Difu Courtyard have been swept away, and there is no doubt who will benefit in the end.

Rajah!

Now there are soldiers stationed in the county......

Since then, Anle County's military defense, finance and taxation, and government affairs have all fallen into the hands of Guo Fan.

Here, it has completely become his word.

Gao is a smart person, so he naturally knows what choice he should make at this moment.

And there are any masters in the underworld that others don't know, but he knows it clearly.

They can be wiped out silently......

Only the immortals in the world are true!

No matter how the prince did it, he finally has the ability to be comparable to the top ten ghost handsome.

"Get up. Guo Fan opened his mouth, not intending to pay attention to him, but just waved his hand forward:

"Go to the yamen of the county government. ”

"Yes. Lu Ping, who was driving, should have said that with a light swing of the whip rope, the sedan car was already slowly turning the direction.

Guo Fan lowered the curtain of the car, his eyes swept over, and he saw a few familiar figures in the crowd.

They were shocked and angry, and their eyes when they looked at the sedan car were even more complicated.

Among them is the head-hunting head-hunting that I saw a few days ago.

Although this person is impulsive, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be an expert in the yamen to inspect bad people.

There is no need for evidence, the restlessness of the county these days, the only person who will benefit in the end is the royal palace.

So it's self-evident who is behind the chaos these days.

This prince, who is rumored to love the people like a son and cares about the people, is so vicious in his actions.

If you don't make a move, you will kill all the opponents who may cause trouble in the future, and almost none of them will survive!

Xiang Duo bowed his head, and his face was bitter.

He just has too upright personality and has never been reused, but he admires the prince very much in his heart.

But today......

The image of the other party in the past is shattered.

This seemingly open-minded prince is actually a man with blood on his hands and murderous people.

On the surface, he is quiet, but secretly he is more ruthless than anyone else.

Where are there any good people in the world?

"Lord Wang. "The carriage had not traveled far, and news came from the palace in a hurry:

"The princess is back, with Senior Ling. ”

"Huh?" Guo Fan raised his eyebrows and frowned subconsciously.

It's not the right time to come!

"Go back to the palace first!"

"Yes. ”

............

Back in the palace, Ling Buxu was not there, and the princess also met her former close friend in the backyard.

Guo Fan was not in a hurry or impatient, and sat down in the front hall.

Last night's drill swept away the Difu Courtyard in one fell swoop, and now no one in Anle County can restrain it.

The power is in hand, the internal worries are swept away, and there is no need to worry about anything else in a short time, only the external troubles do not know when they will come.

However, he has been in the killing field for a long time, and even if he dies, his face will not change, so he will not panic.

But I can calm down and think about other things.

Just like last night's drill formation, although the power is strong, but now that I savor it, there is still a discord.

One of the reasons is that since it is the first time the formation has been practiced, it is imperfect and has some flaws, which is normal.

As long as you make more adjustments in the future and exercise frequently, you can improve.

The second reason is his own reason.

According to the records of the Hundred Battles, the Ten Thousand Blades Tianxiang Array has 3,000 people in formation, even if they are ordinary people, they can also compete with the innate people.

Ten thousand people can block the ancestral tricks, and tens of thousands can kill the mysteries.

100,000 elite soldiers and a million reserves, when they can sweep through this realm, even the underworld and heavenly court can't stop it.

Now there are more than 20,000 soldiers, most of whom are familiar with martial arts, and they can almost compete with the Tongxuan masters.

But last night's power, strong and strong, was not as unstoppable as expected.

The reason is that Guo Fan's cultivation method does not come from the strategy of a hundred battles, although he uses the law of soldiers, he does not cultivate military spirit.

can control the large array, but it can't reveal the full power of the formation.

It runs and is slightly suffocated.

Especially when the battle array broke out with all his might, it was not running smoothly, and his own breath was flawless.

But that's not conceivable.

You can only use more people to join the battle formation and crush the opponent with absolute strength.

"One hundred thousand!" Guo Fan sat in the middle, squinting slightly:

"According to the Hundred Battles, among the 100,000 elite soldiers, there should be 1,000 people who have innate cultivation or above. ”

"I have been in this realm for no more than ten years, and it is impossible for me to cultivate so many martial arts masters. ”

"The only way to achieve the same effect is to accumulate in quantity. ”

"Then at least 200,000 or even 300,000 soldiers are needed, and if you want to achieve it, how easy is it to say?"

In the midst of contemplation, footsteps sounded.

Looking up, I saw Ling Ruowei, who was dressed in plain clothes, slowly stepping into the main hall.

"Princess. Guo Fan nodded:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's always good?"

Ling Ruowei looked up, her face complicated.

In this year, she also thought that maybe her husband was really lucky not to die.

It's just that there was a sudden change and a big change in his temperament, which led to all the things he did at the beginning.

Although I know that this is unlikely, I have some thoughts after all.

But at this point, the man's eyes were cold, deep, and difficult to see, which made people daunting.

Obviously, he only has Dingwu's skin on the outside, and his husband, who was once gentle and kind on the inside, is long gone.

It also extinguished her only glimmer of hope.

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and spoke slowly after a moment:

"With His Excellency Lao's concern, I am doing well. ”

"Hmph!" Ling Ruowei snorted lightly and said:

"Thanks to Your Excellency, this year I have also calmed down, and my cultivation has also benefited. ”

Guo Fan nodded.

Ling Ruowei was refined into Gang Qi back then, and now she is a Gang Qi master, and her talent is definitely amazing at her age.

Present Opening:

"Congratulations to the princess!"

"You're welcome. Ling Ruowei stepped forward, sat down on the seat, and said leisurely:

"I've only been away for a year, but Anle County has changed a lot, and things and people are not good. ”

"Definitely. Guo Fan should be, looking sideways:

"In the eyes of the princess, is this change good or bad?"

Hearing this, Ling Ruowei's beautiful eyes flickered, she pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly:

"Gather the displaced people, expand the number of soldiers, so as to maintain the stability of the county; establish academies to spread martial arts throughout the body, strengthen the body and not forget to teach and educate people; set up a commercial market, communicate what is there or not, and promote the improvement of people's livelihood through business. ”

"All this, benefiting the country and the people, is good, Ruowei is also deeply admired!"

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but flicker.

This kind of thing is easy to say, but when it really starts, it involves all kinds of things, and she can't do it.

Moreover, in terms of governance and policy, the other party can find a different way, which makes people have to admire.

Merely......

This person couldn't be so good!

The reason why he has done so much is probably for himself, not for the people.

Having doubts, she naturally spoke:

"What the hell are you going to do?"

The princess knew about it later. Guo Fan's voice was indifferent:

"Senior Ling is not here?"

"I've got something to go out for. Ling Ruowei stroked the hair on her forehead, took the opportunity to cover her searching eyes, and said:

"My father said that there was something strange about the atmosphere here, but he didn't know what to do, so he went to investigate. ”

"Oh?" Guo Fan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he nodded slightly:

"The predecessors are worthy of being immortals in the world, and their eyes are the same, and they can actually see that there is a difference in the atmosphere of Anle County. ”

"Did you do it?" Ling Ruowei frowned, she didn't expect that Guo Fan would admit generously:

"Why?"

"No, why. Guo Fan spoke:

In this way, it is only convenient to do things, and some things are inconvenient to be known, and it is necessary to cover the ears and eyes. ”

"The princess doesn't need to ask!"

Ling Ruowei frowned, the other party's tone made her a little unhappy, and then sighed and said:

"I have nothing to do with you, and I don't want to ask about it, but there is something I would like to ask. ”

"What's the matter?" Guo Fan said:

"Tell me about it. ”

"Tax!" Ling Ruowei's voice sank, and she said:

"Why are your taxes so heavy?"

"Heh......" Guo Fan chuckled:

"It seems that the young lady of the Li family complained to the princess, is this here to question?"

Ling Ruowei's friend can't be an ordinary person.

Don't say anything else.

Children from poor families, where do they know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am afraid that there are few who know words.

"It's not just the sister of the Li family. Ling Ruowei shook her head and said:

"My close friends have complained and wanted you to reduce their heavy taxes. ”

"I know you have other plans, but many wealthy families in the county are complaining, and I'm afraid it's hard to make things happen!"

"Really?" Guo Fan's face remained unchanged, and he lightly buckled the armrest with one hand, as if he was thinking about what to say.

For a long time, Fang Dao:

"The Wangfu, the reason why the wealthy and wealthy are here today is because of their own reasons. ”

"Let their Lord be gifted and lay an inheritance, and let them be diligent and diligent, so that they will have this day." ”

"I don't know about the others. Ling Ruowei interjected with a cold face:

"But these friends of mine were innocent when they started out, and they never did anything harmful. ”

"That's true. Guo Fan nodded:

"There is no shortage of wealthy businessmen who have accumulated a lot of wealth because they have vision and ability. ”

"But they should also understand that they can get to where they are today because they don't just have their own skills!"

"Oh?" Ling Ruowei frowned:

"Go on. ”

"The Li family is in the rice grain business and runs an inn. Guo Fan spoke:

"But if there is no king to pave the official road, and Ling seniors take out good seeds, there are millions of people in Anle County, can he have this dynasty?"

"Some people always take their achievements very seriously, but they don't know that many times it's just luck. ”

"Without the Li family, there will also be the Qian family, the He family, and the Wang family, and there will always be someone who will share this cup of soup. ”

"I also know that what is taken from the people is what is taken from the people. Ling Ruowei waved her hand and said:

"But they've also paid taxes, they've already compensated, and all they're asking for is relief. ”

"Can't you agree to this?"

"Princess. Guo Fan's face was impatient, and he seemed unwilling to continue to entangle here, and said:

"Do you know what they're going to do when they have money?"

"What for?" the princess tilted.

"They hoard food, they want to earn more gold and silver, and they will reach out to other places. Guo Fan's voice was leisurely and said:

"People's greed is endless, and when they get money, they have too many advantages over ordinary people. ”

"But they won't stop there, but will use what they already have and expand to other places again, to the limit. ”

"In all dynasties, the acres of land cannot be stopped, and there are more and more rich households. ”

"One day, the people's grievances boiled and the dynasty overturned!"

"Hmph!" Speaking of this, Guo Fan snorted coldly:

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss, and the way of man is to make up for the deficiency than is enough, which is exactly the reason. ”

"It's nature, it can't be changed!"

"But ......," the princess frowned:

"In this world, martial artists are in charge, and ordinary people are rarely able to turn over, so they can only rely on one party to manage the people. ”

"You have indeed sold the poor children by doing this, but what can they do for you?"

"As soon as the army comes, it disperses in an instant, and it is not used at all, only the wealthy family is the pillar of a place, and it is also the foundation of success. ”

"In my opinion, it is the right way to treat the wealthy well, to educate them widely, and to let the children of the wealthy understand the suffering of the world and then treat the people well. ”

"As the princess said, that was before. Guo Fan raised his head and said slowly:

"But now is different from the past, who can say that ordinary people can't overturn the wealthy families of the past when they get together?"

"You ......" Ling Ruowei looked at him like looking at another madman:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

A person who refines the body can easily use one as ten, and if he has the internal qi, he can easily kill a hundred people, and the innate master is even more invincible than the accumulation of manpower.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he is no different from immortals.

Everyman?

What can it be?

"This doesn't bother the princess. Guo Fan raised his hand to stop her from talking eloquently, and said:

"After more than a year, I don't know what the princess is doing when she returns to the county town?"

"If it's just for the sake of arguing, then you don't have to!"

"Hmph!" Ling Ruowei snorted coldly when she heard this, knowing that it was difficult for her to change her mind, she could only say with a stiff face:

"Dandie has a child, and now she has no fixed place to live, and the day is precarious, I want to take them back to Qianji Cave. ”

"Dandie?" Guo Fan frowned:

"You've always been in touch?"

"Not often. Ling Ruowei's face was gloomy and she said:

"She's been staying in Yinshan, right under your nose, but no matter how hard the days are, she never wants to come back to see you. ”

"She'......"

"I'm afraid I already hate you!"

Guo Fan was silent.

What Ling Ruowei didn't know was that Zhu Dandie actually sent a letter, but he refused.

"Although you are not Dingwu. Ling Ruowei took a deep breath and said:

"But I hope you'll still be able to see them, for the boy is going to call you uncle. ”

"And Dandie has always regarded you as an elder brother, and he doesn't know that you have changed someone. ”
