Chapter 1052 The Demon Wind Resurrects

A copper coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, with golden brilliance on it, engraved with the four words "Tianyou Tongbao".

At this time, with the man's hand, it was photographed on a desk with several other copper coins. The owner of the hand smiled and stood up to thank the storyteller who had already stood up to thank him, "The story I told today is really wonderful, but it is really uncomfortable to stop here. I'll add some money, so please tell the story that follows."

"Okay..." The other storytellers in this tavern were naturally very happy to see someone willing to pay for the update. They applauded and then turned their eyes to the Qingyan storyteller, and some people shouted: "Let's go down for another paragraph!"

Seeing this, the storyteller quickly bowed to everyone and smiled and said, "Everyone is a young parent of food and clothing. Since you still want to hear it, there is a special guest who has added money, so the younger one will say another..." Amid the cheers of everyone, he sat down again, slapped Xingmu again, and started talking.

What this person is talking about is the story of the current Emperor of Dayue who is expeditioning the grasslands in the north, making great achievements, and then returning to Beijing to ascend the throne. Although this story happened more than a year ago, many officials in the capital experienced it personally, there are very few people who really know the truth, and many of them have been re-arranged and exaggerated like the contents of this book.

Especially the difficulties that Sun Bi and others experienced along the way back to Beijing were even more stunning at this time. Guan Yun passed through five passes and killed six generals, and Tang Sanzang went through eighty-one difficulties in taking the West, which was not as thrilling as it was. Under his vivid description, it was even more exciting. Even though he knew what the result was, everyone was still worried about Sun Bi and his party.

After more than half an hour of content, the storyteller's throat was about to smoke, and the story ended: "... In this way, Your Majesty finally ascended the throne safely, sat on the dragon throne, and became the lord of my Great Yue! And he was also a wise and holy lord who was comparable to the ancient wise king. Although it was only more than a year, he had accomplished many major events, reformed the bad policies, rectified the administration of officials, wiped out all the corrupt officials, and reduced the many harsh taxes, so that we and the common people could live a safe and comfortable life... This is really..." After adding two likable poems, he finally woke up and finished the book.

"Okay!" Everyone in the tavern cheered again, and many people nodded frequently. Of course, everyone can experience the changes in their own lives. Although it has only been one or two years, ordinary people's lives are indeed much better than before.

However, the guest who had just given money and asked him to add a paragraph was then served without saying a word. Until the storyteller came over to thank him again, he smiled faintly: "You said it well, this paragraph is much more exciting than what I had heard elsewhere before. By the way, did you modify it yourself?"

The storyteller was very honored to see that he, a noble man who was dressed in good clothes and was still interested in his career. He said with a smile and replied: "The young man did adapt some of the stories. After all, the guests listened to books just to listen to something fresh. If everyone said the same thing, they would not attract people after one or two."

"Well, it makes sense. By the way, all of your books have their own backgrounds, right? But where did they come from?" The distinguished guest looked curious again and asked.

"Uh, this..." The storyteller looked embarrassed, and then he saw the other party turn his hand and a small ingot of silver was placed on the table: "Well said it, this is also yours."

The storyteller's eyes were so dazzled that he had worked hard for more than half a month. How could he still persist in making such a profitable opportunity in front of him? He smiled and said, "To be honest, this was something the county magistrate refused to let us say it to others..."

"Oh? The original is from the county government?" The guest's mind was quickly turned and he immediately understood.

The storyteller nodded and felt proud. He didn't even say it directly, but he had guessed it. He had earned such money and made no mistakes. It was really profitable.

"Haha, it's interesting." The guest smiled and stood up, and did not touch the silver again, so he left. The storyteller was overjoyed and quickly picked up the silver and put it into his sleeve. Today, he could add some food to his family.

The guest didn't care about the joy of such a petty citizen. He just walked casually on the streets of this small county town. Looking at the people coming and going, and the sincere smiles on people's faces, the smile on his face slowly disappeared. Until he returned to his residence and closed the yard door, his eyes became more striking. He soon entered the main hall in the middle, looked at the few people sitting there, and whispered: "It seems that we can't wait any longer."

"Why did Brother Xing say this?" the man in the middle asked with a smile.

The man who had already walked into the hall but had not sat down, just stared at these lazy guys and said, "You are also staying in Jingyang County like me. Haven't you seen the lives of the people in the county getting better and better?

"I also heard that this is because the Yue State court has been doing many things that were not done before. Those greedy officials who are in corpse and have been taken down by officials who can do things. Not only in the court, but even small places like Jingyang County have changed drastically. Also, there has been news that the three lords of the clerk who are the most troublesome and dare not provoke in this county were all taken down by the new Gao County Magistrate. Do you know what this means?"

The few people were still confused. What does the matter in the government have to do with them?

"Hmph, it means that the lives of the people will get better and better, and we will not be instigated to be enemies with the government because of a small matter. If this situation continues, when we are really ready and want to revive, what is waiting for us will not only be the attack of the government army, but also the opposition of the ignorant and stupid people who have been bribed by the government... By then, it will be the enemy of the world and it is difficult to have a chance to win!"

He said so clearly that these people still didn't understand the dangers, and they all frowned: "What...what should I do?"

"The orders we have been receiving are dormant and standby. Now we take the initiative to attack. Let's not mention what we will think. Just what to do is a problem..."

"I can't take care of it anymore. If this continues, it will take less than a year or two to completely overturn my great cause of the Holy Church. I, Xing Wenkuan, have little life and death, but the great affairs of the Holy Church are the most critical. If you are really afraid of death, you can withdraw..."

"What are you saying? My brothers also want to do something big, how could they be scared by this little setback? They just couldn't think of a countermeasure for a moment. As long as Lao Xing, you can come up with a solution, we will follow you in the water and fire!"

"That's right, don't think that you brothers from Luotian Sect are not afraid of death, so are we!"

Seeing that they were injected with chicken blood, Xing Wenkuan was sure, and what he wanted was this reaction. At that moment, he said, "I really have an idea here. Let's try it in Jingyang County first. Let's take advantage of the good security in the county town and there is no defense in the county government, so we will take action to kill the local Gao County Magistrate!"

"Ah? Isn't this a bit too risky?"

"You hear me that killing a county magistrate can panic the government, so they will naturally search for murderers all over the city. What we have to do is to take this opportunity to set a few more fires to completely disrupt the water in Jingyang. At that time, if the county is in chaos, it can be expanded to Quanzhou Prefecture, then the entire Huainan, and finally the entire Central Plains. You can't let the imperial officials be too peaceful, otherwise it will be too unfavorable to us."

Several people quietly thought about his strategy. After thinking about it carefully, they really had to admit that what he said was reasonable. There is indeed no more disruption to the entire Jingyang situation than assassinating a county magistrate.

So after some exchange, several people smashed their fists: "I'll listen to you! But we also need to contact our superiors and inform us of this method."

"Yes, but things will be done tonight..." Xing Wenkuan was already impatient. He had been dormant here for more than a year and had long worn out his patience.

These other people actually wanted to do something, but now that they have the opportunity, they naturally no longer refuse and immediately responded.

So, in this seemingly ordinary Zhongqiu, peaceful and prosperous, and the first year of Tianyou, a major case finally broke out. The dignified seventh-rank county magistrate of Jingyang County was assassinated in the back hall of the county government, and his head was cut off by the thugs and hung outside the lobby of the county government government.

After the incident spread, not only was the entire Jingyang County shocked, but even officials at all levels in the Huaihe River were shocked and did not dare to slack off at all. They reported the case to the court and sent it directly to the political affairs hall.

Shortly afterwards, the Case-handling personnel from the Imperial City Department, the Ministry of Justice and other yamen rushed to the local area to investigate the case and arrest the murderers, and various statements began to spread among the people. Some said that the three remnants of Jingyang retaliated against the Gao County Magistrate, some said that the killers secretly invited by some Gao County Magistrates in the county government, and there were even rumors that it was done by ghosts and gods.

Anyway, there are all kinds of statements, but no one can come up with conclusive evidence. However, when they first arrived, or attacked some people passing by Jingyang, they were often caught and interrogated by officials at all levels. For a time, the entire Lianghuai River was panicked from top to bottom, and their business was greatly affected.

The one that has been affected the most is that the entire provinces of Dayue have issued semicolons and have made business all over the world. Several of their caravans were delayed because of this, and in the end, not only did they fail to make money, but they lost a lot of money.
