Chapter 216 Where is the road
After talking for a while, Xiaoxiao followed Xing Suer back to her room to sleep at Chang Jin's suggestion.
"Brother Tu, what happened in Tongqu County recently? I just passed by the top of the county town and found that the evil spirits in the city were strong." After Xiaoxiao and Xing Suer left, only the monks and gods were left in the field. Chang Jin asked impatiently.
"Yunsheng doesn't know anything. Not long after you went out last year, the magistrate of Zhao County was recalled to Zhoucheng to report his duties, and then another magistrate of Tongqu County came to Tongqu County. This person is very different from the magistrate of Zhao County. As soon as he came to Tongqu County, he escalated taxes and forced labor service, and then openly solicited bribes from merchants in the city. Now it has caused complaints from the people in the city, and the people are unfair, and evil spirits arise."
"So that's it..." Chang Jin sighed slightly when he heard this. He had already had speculation before, but now it has been confirmed. Such corrupt officials who were a fish-fighting people felt that they had killed the matter with one sword when Chang Jin did not know the boundaries of the three laws of human, gods and immortals. Now they know that things are not that simple. The county magistrate is responsible for the luck of the human government and takes the luck of hundreds of thousands of people under his control for his own use. It is completely different from killing robbers himself. If he is killed at will, he will be backfired.
Unless the other party causes resentment from heaven and people, and the people will deviate from each other, and then they want to kill them, the backlash will not be strong.
Chang Jin has returned safely now, and there is still time to chat in the future. Tu Yifang and Xiaoqian chatted a few more gossips and left one after another.
Abi also looked very eyebrowed and stretched out and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to go back to sleep, you guys can talk." This reason is a bit crappy. As a cultivator of the Three Transformations of the Ghost Immortal, it's common for several days to stay asleep.
Without outsiders, Chang Jin grabbed Bai Susu's jade hand and said apologetically: "Susu, I'm not good for this time, I'm worried."
"It's nothing, as long as you can come over safely." Bai Susu locked her body in the arms of her lover, leaned her head against his shoulder, and said quietly.
Although the two have been dating for a year, they have only been together for half a month. With her personality, she could not have done such intimate behavior. However, this time the lover suffered a great disaster, which changed her mind. After a hundred years of practicing Taoism, many things passed in a flash. If you don’t cherish it, you will always go.
The two sat in the courtyard and whispered. Although they were talking about some simple trivial matters, they had indescribable sweetness.
It was not until the sky was clear and the streets outside became lively that the two separated. Hearing that Yan Chixia was still waiting for her news on Qiongshan Island, Chang Jin hurriedly sent him a message to him and told him that he had returned safely.
Then he went to Wangjia Village to visit Wang Qinian. When Wang Qinian saw him, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes, followed him and hugged him excitedly.
"Brother Qingyuan, let go quickly, I am not as good as Long Yang," Chang Jin said hurriedly.
"Rare, who wants to give you a split sleeve..." Wang Qinian laughed, "It's good to come back. Yunsheng, you haven't returned for a few months. Brother Yu almost got you a tomb for worship..."
After meeting Wang Qinian, he became dull in the next few days. Chang Jin mostly stayed in the yard and stayed in the door and got together to chat with Tu Yifang, Xiaoqian and others at night.
In front of them, Chang Jin did not have the intention to conceal his cultivation, but instead revealed his entire experience of entering the realm of Earth Immortality.
After hearing this, the few people naturally admired each other. They didn't expect that Chang Jin would have such an adventure when he was killed, which was really incredible.
As the days passed day by day, news came from the surrounding states from time to time.
Half a month ago, Yuan Rucai formed the 36th battalion of the rioters who came to join him and proclaimed himself the King of Qinghua. Now he has more than 100,000 subordinates.
Gao Zuogui of Yingzhou led thousands of subordinates to fight in the four prefectures, dragging down more than 30,000 officers and soldiers who followed him to chase him down. Now, the six prefectures of Yingzhou have less than 50,000 troops, and they are no longer able to eliminate the rioters.
In order to prevent refugees from siegeing cities and ponds, the gentry and powerful people in Yingzhou recruited private soldiers to protect themselves.
Among them, Tang Zhengming of the Tang family in Huyang Prefecture began to emerge.
Two months ago, Gao Zuogui led his troops to attack Huyang Prefecture. Tang Zhengming led his three thousand private soldiers to ambush outside the city. When the refugees were at the most nervous attack, Tang Zhengming suddenly led his army to enter from behind. Gao Zuogui's army was in chaos for a while and fled in panic.
During that battle, Tang Zhengming led his army to kill thousands of bandits, and his voice shocked the six prefectures of Yingzhou.
Tang Zhengming should be the one who was selected to assist in the Xuanmen... Recalling his experience in Huyang Mansion, Chang Jin has already confirmed it a little.
He could even imagine that Gao Zuogui was probably secretly supporting Shangxuanmen.
If Gao Zuogui hadn't caused chaos, how could Tang Zhengming have taken advantage of the chaos?
Now that the Tang family's three thousand private soldiers are in their hands, it can be said that they have taken the lead in this chaos of fighting for dragons.
And Yuan Rucai should be the pioneer of the king. With such a big momentum in less than a year, there must be a Taoist sect behind him.
Zhang Cunmeng, Xuzhou, Daliang, King of Hannan...
Chang Jin knew the general trend of the world. If you unite for a long time, you will be divided, and if you divide for a long time, you will be united. This is the ultimate truth of humanity. Even if there are no dynasties on the earth in the future, there will be no dynasties for generations. Da Yan has been established for five hundred years, and it has been considered a long-lived dynasty in this world. It is normal for chaos or even collapse.
However, with the participation of the Daoist, this matter became abnormal again.
For the sake of his own incense and prosperity, the Taoist court sent his disciples to the world to help others compete for dragons, which was simply arbitrary and use any means, regardless of the lives of the people. Don’t blame Chang Jin for thinking this way, mainly because he had experienced things like Dushui Shuijun and the Later World Venerable. He really couldn’t have any good feelings for the Taoist court.
For the sake of one's own selfish interests, the people of the world do not care about it, and regards the people of the Great Yan as pigs and dogs. This is the Taoist temple.
As he thought about it, Chang Jin's expression became darker and darker.
"Yunsheng, what's wrong with you?" Bai Susu hurriedly asked when she sensed the change in her lover's mood.
"I'm fine," Chang Jin said with a forced smile.
"No, you must have something to do in your heart. Can you tell me? Since you came back, although you didn't say it, you kept sighing and telling me that I might be able to come up with ideas for you." Bai Susu is also a smart person and has long realized something is wrong with her lover. She originally thought that she had been in the underworld for a long time and could recover in a few days.
Now I found out that he was troubled by other things.
Seeing Bai Susu looking at him with concern, Chang Jin felt aroused in his heart and sighed: "Susu, you should know that before I practiced Taoism, I was a scholar, and I also had the dream of helping the world. Later, after practicing Taoism, I always thought that the greater my ability, the more I could do for this world.
