Chapter 61 He Xianzhi can continue to spread the blessings bestowed by the Heavenly Lord...
Censor Chang, who rode a fast horse from the capital to Fujiao City, did not even dare to drink a sip of water along the way.
He knew very well that the aristocratic families would not release their eagles until they saw the rabbit. As long as the imperial edict in his hand did not arrive, even if the Demon Hunting Bureau had the means to transmit the message thousands of miles away, the He family would never take any action. They would just sit back and watch the flood spread and the people suffer.
Every time he stopped at a post station to rest and heard the postmen discussing how heavy the rainstorm in Chizhou was, he felt more and more how heavy the imperial edict in his arms was.
Before leaving, Pei Shang Gong, who was beside His Majesty, personally escorted him out of the city and told him that this time the natural disaster must not be measured by past experience. After arriving in Chizhou, no matter how rude the He family's demands were, he must be patient.
As long as they can help the people of Chizhou survive this disaster, the court is willing to make more concessions.
You know, Pei Shang Gong, just like her name Pei Jizai, is a person who has been accompanying His Majesty for many years and is privately called "the Prime Minister".
Her words represent the emperor's own opinions.
Your Majesty is so tolerant for the sake of the people. This shows your love for the people. Censor Chang was deeply moved and made up his mind not to mess up this task.
He was very arrogant and was prepared to be summoned after repeated requests and refusals. Your Majesty can tolerate it, so what does it matter if he suffers a little grievance?
When approaching the city, Censor Chang saw the sky covered with dark clouds and felt the humid water vapor. A strong sense of uneasiness filled his heart, which made his sense of mission even stronger.
He approached Fujiao City with a stern mood.
Then we saw a large group of young people wearing He clan costumes, dredging the ditches at the city gate and having fun with the common people.
Chang Yushi, who had prepared a plan to persuade He to put the overall situation first, said: "?"
Disaster relief has already begun?
Censor Chang rubbed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes, which were already red from staying up all night, became even redder. He looked in a trance at the clear sky, the rain flowing along the ditches, and the wet ground that was no longer humid.
"Who is coming?"
The gatekeeper ran to the horse and was about to reprimand him, but when he saw the scarlet official robe covered with frost, he suddenly shut his mouth: "Sir, I am blind..."
"Is it Lord Chang from the capital?" A friendly-looking young man from the He family recognized Censor Chang and trotted over, looking up from under his horse, "Lord, the master is waiting for you at home."
"Who are you……?"
"He Xianzhi." The young man laughed heartily, "You can just call me Xianzhi. I'll take you to see the master of the family. He has been waiting for you for a long time."
…
He was full of doubts and couldn't believe that He was so wise and righteous that he started to save the people before getting the benefits promised by the court. After the trance passed, Censor Chang became alert and followed He Xianzhi to He's residence.
This exquisite garden, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, has turned the only small hill in Fujiao City into its own back garden. Although there are still traces of the ravages of floods, it still retains the unique elegance of the Jiangnan water town.
Following He Xianzhi, wandering through the winding corridors and enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, Censor Chang's tense mind unconsciously relaxed.
These local tycoons really know how to enjoy themselves.
Censor Chang felt deeply moved.
I don't know why, but I can smell a faint smell of rust and blood from time to time.
Perhaps it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises during natural disasters?
Just as he was about to think deeply, He Xianzhi's reminder sounded in his ears: "Sir, we are here."
Under normal circumstances, He should burn incense, wash his hands, go out and kneel to receive the imperial edict.
But now, they actually dared to let Censor Chang bring the imperial edict to meet the head of the He family.
And Censor Chang didn't think that this was wrong.
He said "thank you" politely to He Xianzhi, lifted his robe, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the dim hall.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart that this house seemed to be all show and no substance, with beautiful scenery but very poor lighting inside.
"Lord Chang, please forgive me for not being able to come and greet you from afar." The low voice of the head of the He family rang out in the dim room. The sound was buzzing and vibrating, and it was extremely strange.
Censor Chang hesitated for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but the next moment, he ignored this feeling. He took out the imperial edict from his bosom and bowed in the direction of the capital: "Your Majesty wants to recruit the He family who are good at water management to deal with this flood. Does Mr. He have any recommendations?"
"Xianzhi is the best child in the clan at controlling water." The head of the He family, who was sitting on the main seat, still did not move.
Censor Chang looked sideways at He Xianzhi who was standing beside him. The latter raised his head, his lips slightly raised, and said happily: "The cleaning of the accumulated water in Jiaocheng and the dredging of the ditches have all come to an end. The other 17 counties have also been affected by the flood. Since the emperor has issued an order, I will set off immediately to the neighboring counties for disaster relief."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand with joy and took the imperial edict held by Censor Chang.
Without shirking responsibility, making things difficult, or asking for more, He took the initiative to assume the responsibility of flood control.
Censor Chang should have been happy. Seeing He Xianzhi couldn't wait to go out, he indeed smiled and nodded.
But somehow, deep in his heart, a trace of uneasiness and anxiety still flashed through his mind.
After He Xianzhi left, the head of the He family fell silent. In the dark hall, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of him gulping down his tea.
Censor Chang picked up the tea bowl brought by the servant and just as he opened the lid, he suddenly felt a burn on his waist.
He paused in drinking tea and almost jumped up from his seat. His hand slowly touched the hot object, and his groggy brain was startled by the heat. All the things that were wrong after seeing He Xianzhi emerged in his mind one by one.
At this moment, he looked around again. How could he no longer have the mind to make fun of the lighting in this room? The sun was shining brightly outside the window, so why couldn't any light shine into this hall?
Why can't we even hear the breathing of the silent servants?
The head of the He family, who was sitting in the main seat, had a blurred face, and his upper and lower bodies were full of disharmony and bent at a strange angle.
The air was filled with a faint stench of corpse.
Chang Yushi's back was covered with cold sweat. He stood up, tightly grasped the hot object, and said calmly: "Since the imperial edict has been brought to you, I will report it to your majesty."
The head of the He family said politely: "The angel has worked hard all the way, why not have a quick meal before continuing on your journey."
When Chang Yushi heard the word "on the road", his eyelids jumped. He shook his head slowly and said, "I have official business to attend to. I am sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards the hall door, one hand quietly holding the sword at his waist, ready for the other party to turn against him on the spot.
What was strange was that the servants in the room who looked like the living dead and the He family master with strange postures just watched him leave without anyone trying to stop him.
Returning under the sun, Censor Chang did not bother to figure out why the He family let him go. He ran through the winding corridors in one breath, ran out of the He family's mansion, and fled to the noisy street. Only then did he dare to let out a long breath and slowly looked at the object at his waist that continued to heat up, cleared his mind, and gave him strength.
It was a symbol of the official status of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a bronze official seal engraved with the words "Shiyushi".
Looking at the red mark on his palm, Censor Chang took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the golden plaque on the He’s residence, and his expression became extremely serious.
He mounted his horse and galloped towards the county government office. On the one hand, he wanted to spread the news that the He family had been contaminated by evil spirits in the capital. On the other hand, he wanted to contact the local demon-hunting department to at least contain the contamination in the He family mansion.
Censor Chang, who was frowning in thought, did not notice that wherever he rode his horse, passers-by looked at him sideways with the same smile on their faces as He Xianzhi's.
He had no idea that after he left, the head of the He family walked down from the throne in a stiff manner. After only two steps, his upper and lower bodies suddenly separated with a click.
The oil lamps lit up with a pale yellow light, and several servants rushed forward to help the master of the house glue his body back together.
The soul of the head of the He family floated aside and shook his head helplessly.
Several bodies with the same disharmony between the upper and lower parts walked in at this time. One of them complained, "Dad, what's wrong with you? You almost held Xianzhi back."
Another person nodded and said, "That's right. Look at how you behave like a nobody. Censor Chang almost saw through it."
"Fortunately, we have obtained the imperial edict."
"Xianzhi can continue to spread the blessings bestowed by the Heavenly Lord."
"I really hope that everyone in the world can bathe in the glory of the Heavenly Lord as soon as possible."
There was a burst of enthusiastic agreement in the hall.
In the back mountain, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Devil floating in the air, holding soul-catching ropes, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Are these He family elders dead or alive?"
"According to reason, he is dead."
"I always feel like if I copy it back, something bad will happen."
"Hiss... hurry up..."
"It turns out that they became like this because they heard some of His mumblings in His sleep. They are already His servants. If they are brought back to the underworld, I'm afraid the underworld will also be infected..."
"Alright, why are you like the Black Impermanence? You are in a critical situation and you are still explaining here. There is no one else to talk to. Let's go now. If you don't leave, we will have to explain ourselves here too!"
After the Horse-Faced Guard finished speaking, he pulled the Ox-Head, and the two soul-catchers turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared from the spot.
…
Li Zhou had no idea what happened between Censor Chang and the He family. She was looking at the simulator interface, waiting to eat the monkey brain roasted by Yue Niang and Li Sheng.

[Luck: 10+/100 (enough to be born into a good family)]
[Root bone: 11+/100 (close to the qualifications of ordinary people)]
That leaves 2 points left.
Li Zhou looked at her comprehension and charm. She didn't need comprehension, she was already smart enough. If she added others, she would not be able to survive. Charm...
Li Zhou frowned. Why did it feel like his charm points had increased even though he hadn't added any?
Li Zhou, who always forgets things, tried to recall the previous values, but couldn't remember them.
Forget it. Never mind.
Li Zhou simply distributed the remaining 2 points evenly between luck and physique.
[Luck: 11+/100 (Congratulations, you got the best mother in the world)]

Fujiao County Government Office.
With his heart pounding like thunder, Censor Chang rolled off his horse, grabbed the yamen runner at the door and said, "Take me to see the county magistrate quickly. I have something important to discuss with him!"
