Chapter 110 This Prince Consort is quite good-looking

In the evening, Xu Ming helped Fang Ling finish the farm work.

Mr. Fang invited Xu Ming to his home for dinner.

Xu Ming couldn't refuse Fang Ling's invitation, so he had to go.

Mrs. Fang killed an old hen and made a pot of soup for Xu Ming, which contained mountain mushrooms and tasted very delicious.

Mrs. Fang picked up a few fresh eggs from the chicken coop, fried them into poached eggs with lard, and then stir-fried the poached eggs with chili peppers, which was very appetizing.

Finally, it was served with Chinese spinach and a dish of braised pork, making the dinner a very sumptuous one.

After dinner, Fang Linghe invited Xu Ming to play chess, and they chatted while playing chess: "Xu Ming, the affairs of the noble families are the most difficult to deal with. As you know, our Wu Kingdom was founded on military power. At that time, there were more than a dozen forces in the territory of Wu Kingdom.

The voting teams of the aristocratic families are particularly important.

Whenever a force comes to you, should you give them benefits?

This laid the foundation for the powerful families to become too powerful to be eliminated.

Fortunately, we learned the imperial examination system of Qi State, so students from poor families and even ordinary people also have certain opportunities. In addition, a series of reforms by previous monarchs have reduced the influence of the powerful families to the greatest extent.

However, in many places, especially in remote small towns like this one, the influence of the wealthy families is still extremely outrageous. On the one hand, the imperial court does not care much about those remote places.

On the other hand, these small cities are weak, while the nearby sects have been around for hundreds or thousands of years. So once a disciple of a certain family becomes a disciple of the sect, the family will expand rapidly with the help of the sect's influence.

And those sects also condone or even encourage this behavior because they can suck blood through it.

Today, the four powerful families in Baihe County are supported by four nearby sects.

Doesn’t the court want to intervene?

The question is how to manage it?

There are intertwined connections in various places, and support from sects, such as Baihe County.

The county magistrate is from the local area, the petty clerk is from the local area, and the constable is also from the local area.

These people don’t accept bribes? If there is another more evil-minded county magistrate, will he not accept bribes?

By then, the county magistrate will become involved with these benefits and take advantage of them, and the whole county will be in chaos.

In my opinion, the aristocratic families of Wu State are even more troublesome than the princes.

The princes are like tigers, while the local aristocratic families are like termites.

The tiger must be killed, and the termites must be eliminated, otherwise if this continues, the foundation of the Wu State may be undermined.

So it is very difficult for Xu Pangda to solve those cases. I am afraid you may not even be able to find evidence. "

Xu Ming took a sip of wine and said, "I think so too. So I'm thinking, why not look for evidence at all?"

"Hmm?" Fang Ling looked at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming did not try to hide it any more: "Since Yu Tanhua has concerns, we cannot report this matter to the higher authorities. It would be too public. But we will handle these cases well, and we don't know when it will happen.

Before leaving Wudu, His Majesty gave me a jade pendant."

Xu Ming took out the jade pendant and placed it on the table. There was a sword engraved on the jade pendant, and a dragon was wrapped around the sword:

“Your Majesty once said that this jade pendant has two functions. One is to mobilize the army in the county, and the other is to have the power to execute officials below the fifth rank, and even ordinary people, with permission later.

There is no need to mobilize the troops in the county, and it is difficult for the court to say.

But there shouldn't be any problem with executing first and asking for permission later."

Fang Ling looked at Xu Ming seriously: "Xu Ming, you better think it through!"

Fang Ling knew what Xu Ming wanted to do.

Since there is no evidence, Xu Ming doesn't need any evidence.

Kill these four powerful families first, then their power will naturally be disrupted, the others will be afraid, and the resistance will be smaller. Finally, Xu Pangda will take over, and he can basically investigate the matter.

but……

Fang Ling advised: "Xu Ming, you are just a warrior in the Heroic Soul Realm, and a warrior in the Heroic Soul Realm is not enough to walk sideways in Baihe County.

Secondly, even if you finally found evidence that the four powerful families deserved to die, what would that do?

There will still be people in the court criticizing you.

You are indeed deeply favored by His Majesty, but the more favored you are by His Majesty, the more dangerous you are. There are many people who wish you dead.

You don't want to be a royal consort, but do others not want to be one? Besides, you might offend four sects!

The four powerful families in Baihe County are the spokespersons for the four sects in Baihe County. When they do something, they will definitely clear their own disciples from the blame.

Even if you purge these four powerful families, you probably won't be able to find evidence to sentence them to death.

And according to the laws of our Wu country.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

You killed him.

In order to save face, they don’t care whether you are the top scholar of Wu State or not. They have the right to ask cultivators of the same realm to seek revenge on you.”

Listening to Mr. Fang's words, Xu Ming smiled and said, "Of course I know. If that's the case, then let them come. It just so happens that I don't have anyone to practice with."

"That's all." Fang Ling shook his head. "In fact, I should have known that you are not the kind of person who lives a stable life. Otherwise, you would not have entered the Bloody Pagoda, let alone divorced. When you can't stand it anymore, just go back to Wudu and become a prince consort. I guess no one will dare to touch you."

Xu Ming made a move: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

After playing a few games of chess with Mr. Fang, Xu Ming said goodbye and left.

Walking on the streets of Baihe County, the lights in every house have been turned off, leaving only the silent night and the bright moonlight.

As he walked, Xu Ming suddenly felt something was wrong and frowned slightly.

Xu Ming continued to move forward.

And just when Xu Ming walked past a street corner, he stopped.

When he lowered his head, he saw a glowing formation. The formation was blood red, as if it was painted with blood.

Then, the formation gradually spread, as if rain washed away the red ink, leaving a pool of blood.

In the blood-red, one red ghost hand after another grabbed Xu Ming's feet.

"Oh."

Xu Ming sneered and stepped down hard.

The warrior's blood and energy were shaken and dispersed, and the two-meter floor tiles centered on Xu Ming shattered and collapsed.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a man appeared in front of Xu Ming.

The man looked very feminine, without any masculinity at all, as if he had practiced the sword technique to ward off evil spirits.

Looking at the man, Xu Ming smiled and said, "Let me guess, you want to kill me?"

"That's right." Li Hui waved his hand, and several ghost talismans were scattered in the air. Ghosts emerged from the ghost talismans and pounced on Xu Ming.

At the same time, on a roof, a girl in a black skirt tapped her feet, propped up her chin, and looked at the street with a smile:

"This prince consort is quite handsome. What a pity, he is going to die tonight."
