"Brother Hong, I don't dare to agree with what you say!" Hearing Hong Yi's words, Hou Qingchen, the "iron-blooded governor," frowned more and more, and then said: "Let the cult bewitch these people for one more day, and open a chūn in the coming year, maybe these people will be bewitched to death, and even today they are still honest and honest people called Huazi, who are given a cotton coat, and after a mouthful of porridge, they will become the backbone of the sect! Let them preach everywhere and vigorously develop! The entire Wuyuan Province may immediately erode!" At that time, more people will die! Moreover, with the heavy snow and road closure, it is difficult to allocate rice and grain even if there is money, and the will of the imperial court is also needed to use the money and grain from the Fanku for disaster relief. At present, the imperial court has not yet issued a holy decree, and I have no way to do it. ”

At first, Hou Qingchen's words were a little harsh, but then they softened, this "iron-blooded governor" was arrogant, had a tough wrist, was a one-sided figure, and was very strict under his rule. Originally, Hong Yi's grade was far below him, and he could be reprimanded at will in terms of etiquette.

But now Hong Yi has vast magical powers after all, boundless mana, and he saved his life just now, and it is not easy to speak in terms of strength and affection, so he said and spoke, and his tone eased.

"If the government does not do a good job, but the cult does a good job, the people will naturally listen to the cult, and whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world." ”

Hong Yi waved his hand, but he didn't care about Hou Qingchen's attitude, how he was born, and he disagreed, they were all people in the same boat. Moreover, now the argument between the two has come into contact with learning, the understanding of the principle of "benevolence and righteousness".

Hong Yi and Hou Qingchen had a difference in government affairs, one was to immediately send troops to destroy the various nests of the cult. One is to provide disaster relief and release food and clothing first.

Political disagreement is not in agreement.

"Brother Hong!" Hou Qingchen heard Hong Yi's words, which was equivalent to a bit of 'great rebellion' in it, and he couldn't help but get louder, not because he was reprimanded, but because he was afraid that this word would spread and cause disaster.

"Brother Hong, what you say, I have to refute and refute you well, how can the imperial court compare with a cult?"

Hou Qingchen cleaned his throat.

"There is no need to refute it, we also have our own reasons, when the reason doesn't make sense, you have to look at the fist, I am now profound, and my mana is mysterious, so Brother Hou don't argue with me, let's listen to my advice." The earth is big, and the truth is the greatest, but in the final analysis, the fist is the real truth. ”

Hong Yi waved his hand again, stopping Hou Qingchen from talking.

"Is it reasonable to have a big fist?" Hearing Hong Yi's words, Hou Qingchen couldn't cry or laugh.

Of course, and this is a very hard, very solid truth, the cornerstone of all truths, without which all truths cannot be implemented. Hong Yizheng said: "Brother Hou is now the governor, and there is a big difference between my brother and yours." But that's why you still have to listen to me. ”

"When did I say that I wanted to listen to you, Brother Hong Shi?" Hou Qingchen said in amazement.

"Okay, let's discuss the issue of money and food, Brother Hou Shi, you are born in the two rankings, you are deeply educated, and the article is also splendid. In particular, the way of economy is also very jīngtong, which I admire very much, but now that the cult is raging and you can't protect yourself, you don't need to argue with me academically, in short, we are all people in the same boat, don't get angry because of this matter. ”

Hong Yi smiled, and said in a disapproving and controlled tone: "Although you are reluctant and unwilling to admit it, brother, you still have to listen to me, don't stalemate for face, I have two, first! Brother Shi, hurry up and gather the gentry of the whole province and let them donate money and grain for disaster relief, of course, this is just a drop in the bucket, but it is just a cover-up, you vacate a few large Tibetan treasury, I will give you 100,000 taels of jīng rice, which is enough to help the victims of a province." Second, while you are providing disaster relief, you will give me the power of the eight battalions, and my subordinates will lead the troops to arrange everything. ”

"Just these two items, you come forward to provide disaster relief! I will come forward to raise a war. ”

After Hong Yi finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair slightly, as if everything was in plan

"Summoning the gentry of the whole province to donate money and grain? That is really a drop in the bucket, those big landlords, although the families of the big gentry have a mountain of stored grain, but they are all iron roosters, now the heavy snow is closing the road, the price of grain is even higher, they will be even more indispensable, even the government can not help them. It's impossible to raid their homes for no reason, and where did you get 100,000 quintals of jīng rice?"

Hou Qingchen wondered.

"You don't have to worry about this so much, in short, I use the five ghosts to carry **, and I have to carry it for you. But you can't divulge this matter at all, summoning the big landlords and gentry is just a cover-up, after all, Taoism does things, if it is transmitted to the imperial court, your position is not stable, and it may not even be known if it will affect the prince!"

Hong Yi is not worried that Hou Qingchen will leak out of the matter of taking out 100,000 quintals of jīng rice from the Qiankun cloth bag, he will only keep his mouth shut, after all, the use of Taoism to relieve disasters, which dynasty and generation, is taboo by the imperial court.

In the past history books, there were many Taoist priests who used Taoism to block the water and relieve the victims when there was a flood, but in the blink of an eye, they would be arrested by the imperial court.

What the imperial court is afraid of is this kind of "demon who uses evil magic to restrain the hearts of the people".

If Hou Qingchen spreads out, he will not be able to keep his first official position.

"You still want the military power of the eighth battalion, you have to let me think about it" Hou Qingchen didn't ask much about Hong Yi's "transformation" of 100,000 taels of jīng rice, he knew that it was very powerful, and the more he knew, the more he knew, the more he would be disadvantaged.

However, Hong Yi wants military power, and he has to think about it.

Wuyuan Province's eight battalions of soldiers and horses, 4,000 iron cavalry, easy to give, the matter is naturally important.

However, Hong Yi didn't pay attention to Hou Qingchen's thinking, but drank directly.

"Iron Pillar, come in!"

"Yes!"

Shen Tiezhu was wearing a big wolf skin cloak and holding a jīng steel square heavenly painting halberd in his hand, and walked in like a god, and the whole house trembled slightly.

"You take Lord Hou's edict and the accompanying staff, go to the barracks outside Wuyuan City, transfer fifty iron cavalry, go to Baxian County, and discuss with the county commander of Baxian County, and say that the government and the local church will cooperate to jointly help the victims. If after this heavy snowfall, if you don't freeze to death and starve to death a civilian, from now on, there will be no life, and you can preach in Wuyuan Province at will, and you will never be arrested!"

"Xiao Mu, you come in! You are with your master. Lei Lie assisted you, and also took Lord Hou's warrant, fifty iron horses, and rushed to Chen County!"

"Chi Chaiyang, you also take fifty iron horsemen and rush to Wu County!"

"Mr. Zhou, you rush to Heng County!"

"Shanqiu, you take two Silver Shark warriors and fifty iron horsemen to Wen County. ”

"Feiyan, you take two Silver Shark warriors and fifty iron horsemen to Yuan County. ”

As one by one's cronies called in, they stood in a row, all of them looked unfathomable, and Hou Qingchen grew his mouth when he saw it, and this "iron-blooded governor" was also stunned by Hong Yi's strength that burst out in an instant.

Moreover, from Hong Yi's mouth, one county after another jumped out, showing that Hong Yi knew the geographical distribution of the entire Wuyuan Province to a detailed level.

In less than a cup of tea, the arrangement of more than ten counties and several prefectures in Wuyuan Province was all sent by Hong Yi with men and horses.

"Be careful, you must pretend that the government is planning to cooperate with the cult, and after you arrive at the counties, discuss with the county orders, talk to the leaders of the religious circles in various places, and after the disaster relief is completed, secretly arrest the big leaders!

After Hong Yi finished his order, he said to his subordinates: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Childe is not tired of deceit, first lure out the leaders of the sect, and then act in secret, Lord Hou was hurt by the cults, and these cults are now rampant. Lord Hou's attitude can be regarded as a statement, but he may really think that these cult leaders think that Lord Hou has changed the direction of the wind. ”

Mr. Zhou's eyes flickered.

"Yes, if a cult wants to develop, it must rely on the government, but unfortunately Brother Hou is stubborn, and now I have thrown out this bait, and I can't help but let them take the bait! Let me first say that these cult leaders must not be caught in a blatant manner, otherwise, those believers will make trouble and the whole province will be corrupted at once! You will have to control the proportions of this. At the same time, you must also cooperate well with the county decrees! Be careful, some of those county decrees may have been infiltrated by cults, and they should all find out! Then they will be captured in one piece!"

Hong Yi Dao.

"Childe is really a hero among people, so vigorous and resolute, but Lord Hou is still thinking about it. Mr. Zhou said.

"It doesn't matter!" Hong Yi smiled, got up from the chair, strolled to the desk, laid out the paper, grinded the ink block, and then picked up Hou Qingchen's governor's seal, and on the blank paperwork, it was fiercely covered with cinnabar, and a clear and bright red seal appeared on it.

"Brother Hou, I also helped you polish the ink, and the seal was also stamped for you, so please write a warrant. ”

After Hong Yi finished all this, he stretched out his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Hou Qingchen.

"Brother Hong, there is really you, the prince has your assistance, I am afraid that the queen really has hope to become a great treasure and reign in the world. In this case, I have to listen to you. ”

Hou Qingchen smiled helplessly at first, then laughed, sat down at the table, and wrote several warrants for the transfer of troops one by one. Then Hong Yi let his subordinates take these transfer warrants one by one, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, all his subordinates rushed out, and with them, of course, there were Hou Qingchen's staff

"Okay, Brother Hou, I will stay by your side for the next few days, you come forward to meet with the gentry and rich people, and order them to pay for food. With me in this Wuyuan Provincial City, even if there is no Life Dao, the two major sect masters of the Vacuum Dao will not be able to do anything to you in person!"

Hong Yi returned to his seat and said proudly.

Seeing Hong Yi leisurely, in a few words, acting resolutely, and arranging everything without leakage, he actually wanted to sweep away the cult in one fell swoop and at the same time use the cult forces to provide disaster relief. Even an iron-fisted figure like Hou Qingchen couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, "Jun is a hero of the world, I'm ashamed of myself!"

"Brother Hou has won the award!" After Hong Yi sat down, his thoughts moved, and a wind of yang and harmony suddenly flew out, dividing into dozens of strands, but quietly attached to the back of his subordinates.

Cults are rampant, some of them are powerful, Hong Yi's group of subordinates, although they are all fierce, not afraid of a little evil law, but when they meet a real master, it is difficult to resist, Hong Yi separated the soul thought to attach to their body, it is to quietly help them resist the evil law, meet a real master, Hong Yi can even sense it, the true soul flies out.

Especially by Xiao Mu's side, it was followed by the monk jīng, this great martial saint was here, even if it was a ghost immortal, he couldn't get any cheapness.

And his subordinates also have a lot of weapons to deal with the gods. For example, the "Peach God Soul Destroying Arrow" purchased in the Kamikaze Country is a peach wood, and the arrows made of spells can damage the soul.

What's more, Hong Yi can take this opportunity to take a look at the situation of his subordinates, can he take charge of himself?

It is not enough to have force, but also to be resourceful, and to be the right-hand man alone.

Later, when I arrived in Yujing, there were many things to fight openly and secretly, and this time in Wuyuan Province, it was to exercise and exercise.

"At least three days, at most five days, the results will come out in the counties of the province. I guarantee that with this move, I can smash the cult leader and even lead out the real mastermind behind the scenes! If it really has something to do with the crown prince, I have obtained the evidence, handed it over to Prince Yu, and threw it out on the spot at the court meeting, which is enough to bring the crown prince to death! In front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the scholars, even if the emperor wants to defend the prince, I am afraid that there will be no such excuse. ”

Hong Yi had already calculated it in his heart.

When he did this, it could be regarded as scaring the snake, and the snake could be captured in one fell swoop and brought back to Yujing, and this time he beat the grass, in the name of Hou Qingchen, without exposing himself

Sure enough, just a day after Hong Yi's order was issued, dozens of secret letters spread from various secret places in the provincial capital of Wuyuan, some in the direction of Yujing, and some in the residence of the governor of Zhongzhou!
