Chapter 543: Counselor Zuo

Yongzhou Wanhu Hou?

Wuxu was a little stunned in the wind and snow for a while, and nodded subconsciously. Among the three, he is bald, and he is naturally the Marquis of Wanhu in Yongzhou, the master of Wuxu.

The three of them were then welcomed into Yongzhou City, and directly entered the City Lord's Mansion, and Wuxu was invited to the City Lord's Mansion alone. Li Mingshan and Zhu Yuanzhang sat on one side, while the others sat on the other.

Without waiting for Wuxu to ask, the person who wanted to ask before stood up, claiming to be the general of the city guarding Zhu Donglai, and said that he had an urgent order to welcome Wuxu to take charge. Then he introduced the number of people sitting under him one by one. There are the left and right counselors, the left counselor will pay a knife, the right counselor will be Murong Xue, there are the left and right counselors of the City Lord's Mansion, the left counselor Sima Zhi, the right parameter Xu Chuanshan, and then, what are the Great Zhou Comfort Courtyard Demon Domain Division and other personnel.

These people, when Zhu Donglai mentioned his rank and name, stood up one by one and bowed to Wuxu. It just looks enthusiastic, but in fact it's just a show.

Wuxu can see it clearly, but he has never thought that he wants to stay in this Yongzhou for a long time. It's just a matter of eating and lodging for a few days, and then I'm leaving. Yes, Wuxu didn't mind, and kept smiling.

Wait for this cadre to retire and leave. Have their own attendants, prepare food and drink, and arrange sleeping.

But I didn't want to, early in the morning of the second day, Wuxu was sitting upright, and someone reported that someone outside was beating drums and shouting grievances.

Someone beat the drum and shouted that he wanted to be Bao Qingtian himself, or the detective Di Renjie? realized that someone must be doing something, but he couldn't help his curiosity, so he followed the person who reported it, and came to the city lord's mansion meeting hall again. On the ground kneeled a crowd of people, ordinary people, who kowtowed and wailed there.

Wuxu looked at the person standing next to him and asked, "What is going on?"

This little guy lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, "It is said that they came to the ghost cultivator and harmed a lot of people, and I want to ask the city lord to give an order to send someone to exterminate them." ”

Wuxu frowned, "If it's true, it can be handled by the left counselor of the house." ”

Yesterday, when General Zhu Donglai of Nayongzhou introduced Counselor Zuo, there was an explanation. Sima Zhi, the left counselor of the Zuocheng Lord's Mansion, is responsible for the internal affairs of Yongzhou City and its affiliated areas. If you don't look for him, who will you look for?

The little guy replied with a bitter face, "The city lord doesn't know, the position of the city lord has been vacant before, and many people are not fully matched. If you want to exterminate those ghost cultivators who come to attack, I'm afraid you can only find the military?"

Wuxu sneered, "Yesterday, I met Counselor Zuo Sima Zhi. His cultivation is not bad, but a few ghost cultivators who disturb the people can't deal with it? Don't say anything more, just send a message to him and ask him to deal with this matter. With that, Wuxu withdrew.

The little guy hurriedly glanced at the person who was kneeling on the ground.

Suddenly, all of them wept and wailed loudly. Among them, there were also people who shouted, "Cultivate and protect each other! Heaven does not tolerate it!" The voice was so loud that it almost spread throughout the entire City Lord's Mansion.

Wu Xuan felt more and more that this was a trap, and just ignored it as if he hadn't heard it.

After returning to the residence, the more Wuxu thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he summoned Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Mingshan, proposing to leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better, at this moment. Li Mingshan had no opinion, but Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "First there is a demon road through the Xuan overhaul, drive me out of the demon domain, and then a cadre of people is ordered to welcome Yongzhou City." According to the junior brother's opinion, senior brother, you, the city lord of Yongzhou, should not be appropriate. ”

Wuxu laughed secretly, and later put away the six-yuan blessing order, which was likely to be the "culprit", and saw what you would do with the Xuanxuan overhaul. But he didn't explain to Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, the left counselor Sima Zhi actually came and stood outside. Wuxu had to let him in first.

This Sima Zhi, a pure Confucian cultivator, spoke respectfully, but he went straight to the point, asking Wuxu, those petitioning villagers who are still in the council hall at the moment, don't know how to settle?

Wuxu was stunned for a moment, and said, "I have just notified Counselor Zuo of this matter, and you are fully responsible." ”

Counselor Zuo was silent for a moment, "This matter is indeed within the responsibility of his subordinates. In fact, the day before yesterday, someone from this Niutou Village came to report that there was a suspicious monk haunting. The subordinates first sent people to investigate, but they found nothing. Last night, his subordinates went to the place in person, and only then did they notice some clues, but these clues were broken when they arrived at the garrison. ”

"Although the military and the government have their own subordinates, they are also colleagues. Counselor Zuo, you can report the situation to General Zhu and ask for assistance. Satoru interrupted him unhurriedly.

That Sima Zhi quietly listened to Wuxu's words, and said in a deep voice, "This is nature. Yongzhou City is where the border pass is located, which is different from the inland city of my Great Zhou. In many places, the cooperation of the garrison is needed in order to handle it well. For example, these villagers who came tonight were actually escorted into the city by the nearby garrison. β€œ

The garrison escorted into the city? Wuxu frowned, and the deep face of Zhu Donglai, the general defending the city, couldn't help but appear in front of him.

I only heard Sima Zhi continue to say on the side, "That night, my subordinates followed the clues and saw that he had entered the garrison, so he immediately explained the situation to the person in charge of the garrison. The school officer, who was polite on the surface, was hesitant in his words, and it took a while for him to agree to lead his subordinates to inspect everywhere. It turned out to be nothing. ”

"Counselor Zuo, does it seem to mean something? Could it be that it implies that someone in the army colluded to protect and protect the ghost cultivator who killed the villagers of Xiaoniutou Village?" Wu Xuan then asked.

Sima Zhi shook his head, "That's not true." Moreover, the subordinates have already inspected the scene of the incident, and it doesn't seem to be the work of a ghost cultivator. ”

Isn't it? It doesn't look like a ghost cultivator? Wuxu listened with a big head and waved his hand, "That's it." Those villagers, Counselor Zuo, settled down for the time being according to the standards of disaster victims. As for the arrest of the murderer, if the garrison needs to cooperate, I can write an official letter in the name of the city lord here, and order the general who guards the city to come to Zhu Donglai, and fully cooperate. ”

Sima Zhi, rarely, raised his head completely, looked at Wuxu, and smiled without saying a word. After a while, Fang Cai said, "Yongzhou borders the Demon Domain, and the imperial court has a garrison here. Although General Zhu is called the general who defends the city, he is actually directly under the command and dispatch of the military department. ”

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that this Zhu Donglai was not under the command of himself, the lord of Yongzhou City.

Wuxu sighed softly, and then looked at Sima Zhi with a wry smile.

But this Sima Zhi still refused to leave, and stood there fixedly.

Wuxu had to ask, "In that case, what else is the matter with Counselor Zuo?"

But I saw that Sima Zhi stretched out his right hand, took out a scroll from the cuff of his left hand unhurriedly, and then presented it with both hands. Fortunately, there are not a lot of aura on it, otherwise Wuxu would have thought it was some kind of big killer。。。。。。

"The imperial court reformed and changed the law, and successively promulgated the "Spiritual Resources Order", "Promotion of Repair Order" and other decrees, and also issued many orders to all localities, cities and governments to actively respond and strictly abide by them. As the left counselor of Yongzhou City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, his subordinates drew up a charter, and hoped that the city lord would read and decide. Sima Zhi, without waiting for the enlightenment to speak, held the scroll in both hands, just like Wei Tuotian holding the vajra.

Wuxu couldn't help but feel a compelling momentum. There is no aura, and it also makes me feel extra stressed.

The Great Zhou Reform and Law Change, what "Spiritual Information Order" and "Promotion Order", it is estimated that a lot of them have come out one after another. According to the initial strategy of enlightenment, it is nothing more than to integrate the resources of the monks, survive the fittest, and improve the overall realm and level of the monks of the Great Zhou and even the Xuanyin Star. This strategy and this goal seem to be very lofty and beautiful, but any time the system is reformed and the law is changed, there is a pattern of interests, and the vital interests of many people are touched, and there is no sacrifice or even a river of blood.

Wuxu looked at Sima Zhi, the left counselor of Yongzhou City in front of him, and couldn't help but become more and more curious. This seemingly very respectful and pure Confucian cultivation is how to understand and draft the regional implementation regulations.

Wuxu finally reached out and took the scroll, holding one end of each hand, and slowly unfolded it.

"Spiritual assets belong to the imperial court, and all Yongzhou City should be handed over to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible。。。。。。 ”

"The exercises, also not hidden, Yongzhou City cultivators, should copy a copy of their exercises, published to the public, for those who are destined, qualified, capable, reference practice。。。。。。。 ”

"Ordinary people, if they don't have the qualifications to cultivate, immediately move out of the city。。。。。。 ”

Well, there is nothing new in these things, but the principles and policies of the Great Zhou court have been refined, or more radical. Wu Xuan read it patiently, then closed the scroll and asked with a smile, "Counselor Zuo, this charter is very well written. But now that the spiritual resources have been handed over, how can the monks cultivate? If ordinary people move out of the city, how can they survive?"

Sima Zhi, clasped his hands together, and saluted slightly to Wuxu, "The City Lord's Mansion can be issued on time, set up a big competition, and those who are excellent and capable will be rewarded more." Ordinary people will not be ignored, they can be placed in the Black Stone Canyon outside the city, and if they have cultivation qualifications, they can be counted as alternate monks after assessment, and all resources will be distributed by the city lord's mansion. ”

Wu said with a smile, "It's hard to be Counselor Zuo, you think so thoughtfully." ”

Sima Zhi, but he still didn't leave, he still stood there steadily, "If the city lord thinks it's feasible, please use the seal and officially release it." ”

It turned out that he wanted to sign and take responsibility, and although he was about to leave at any time, he carried this pot for no reason. Wuxu suddenly sank his face, and then unfolded the scroll again, looking at it carefully. While watching, I pondered carefully.

This charter has been submitted to the imperial court before, and it has not been approved. Until today, it was sent back along with the order to welcome the castle lord, so I'm afraid it's a hint. Sima Zhi, on the side, seemed to mean something.

Wu Xufu put away the scroll and asked solemnly, "Your charter is very detailed in the front, but these affairs involve a wide range of interests, and how to implement them specifically? For example, which agency is responsible, and how to deal with those who refuse to carry it out?"

Sima Zhi saluted slightly, "Naturally, the city lord leads the whole house and implements it with full authority." If there is a refusal to enforce it, it should be punished as opposing the new law, condemning the crime, and referring to other laws. ”

I see. It is no wonder that the matter of the garrison was mentioned earlier, and this is to redivide the power and interests with the garrison forces through restructuring and changing the law. But Wuxu didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he immediately yawned again, "It's a big matter, let's discuss it tomorrow." β€œ

Sima Zhi seemed to have anticipated Wuxu's attitude, and he was no longer entangled, but when he saluted and retreated, his hands suddenly came together and made a strange gesture.

Without waiting for Wuxu to ask, he had already withdrawn his gesture and took the initiative to say, "I didn't expect that the city lord would have a blessing from the ancestor. If there is anything, Sima Zhi will definitely serve. β€œ

Fu Ling?Wuxu narrowed his eyes slightly. watched Sima go straight away.
