Chapter 63 The whole world was shaken, and everyone was astonished.
"I heard that the new governor is the current magistrate of Juhe County?" Peng Lanzhi, the external affairs officer of Tianjianmen, suddenly spoke.
"Juhe County?" Ouyang Zhen, the chief medicine officer of Qingyu Temple, frowned and looked at Sun Panshi, "Brother Sun, I heard that the governor of Juhe County was a fierce man who defeated the 50,000-strong army of King Yan."
"I've heard that too." He Chengmao, the general manager of the He Family Store in Pingchuan, also nodded, "It is said that the governor of Juhe County has a mysterious origin and can call the wind and rain. He drowned the 50,000-strong army of King Yan with just a bowl of water."
"I have also heard of this legend, but I used to just treat it as a joke." Monk Jingcong, the chief of the Medicine King Court of Fashan Temple, smiled and said, "After all, there is no one in this world who can call the wind and rain, unless he practices martial arts and becomes a Buddha."
"Everyone, the Juhe County Magistrate is nothing to mention." Sun Panshi seemed to have anticipated the topic of the crowd and laughed, "In fact, my brother Wang Xian and I have already investigated him. He is just a scapegoat arranged by Liu Litao."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Brother Wang Xian, do you know the origin of this Juhe County Magistrate?"
"What's the matter?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Panshi again, and a young man next to Sun Panshi was also asked.
The young man's name is Wang Jinsheng. He is dressed in white, handsome, and has delicate features. He is a real handsome man.
At the age of 19, he has already entered the Qi Transformation Realm. He is the one with the highest martial arts among the six people present.
He is not from Fengzhou, but from Yanzhou next to him. He traveled to Lu County with his family elders.
In the six months since he came to Lu County, Wang Jinsheng used extraordinary means to tear off 60% of the share of the salt industry in Lu County, which originally had no place to intervene.
Moreover, anyone who dared to attack him or tried to stop him violently, whether he was a master of the transformation realm or a great master of the mysterious realm, would die.
Therefore, in this small group of six people, his status was even higher than that of the organizer Sun Panshi.
Although Wang Jinsheng did not interfere in the management of specific affairs on weekdays, and many things were decided by Sun Panshi himself, everyone, including Sun Panshi, would not ignore the importance of Wang Jinsheng.
After all, they could easily control the governor of Lu County by virtue of their control over the people's livelihood, but it was impossible for them to use this to push a governor to the position of governor.
However, Wang Jinsheng and his family elders had this power.
Facing the inquiries of the crowd, Wang Jinsheng did not answer directly.
He looked around at the crowd, casually threw open a folding fan, shook it gently, revealed an unfathomable smile, and said lightly: "Everyone, do you really believe that there is someone in this world who can call the wind and rain?"
"Although I don't believe it, it is certain that the 50,000 troops of the King of Yan were destroyed." He Chengmao smiled bitterly, "It's inevitable that people are worried."
"I asked my uncle." Wang Jinsheng still shook the folding fan lightly and smiled confidently, "The answer my uncle gave me is that even if immortals and Buddhas come to the world, it is impossible to call the wind and rain to destroy 50,000 troops."
When everyone heard this, they were relieved immediately.
The uncle mentioned by Wang Jinsheng is a top martial arts master who has cultivated his inner vision. Such a big man must be right.
"But, what about the 50,000 troops of the King of Yan?" Peng Lanzhi was a careful and cautious woman. She still couldn't figure out how a small county could resist 50,000 troops.
"It's actually very simple." Wang Jinsheng was still confident and smiled, "My uncle went to Juhe County to check it out and found that the battlefield where the King of Yan's army was destroyed had obvious traces of being washed away by floods.
"And this kind of scouring marks is obviously not caused by rain, but more like the water from the river surging in, he discovered again after inspecting the terrain.
"Although the area is generally flat, the battlefield is located at a lower terrain. There is also a Honghe River next to Juhe County. As long as we take advantage of the Yanwang army's unpreparedness, dig a big gap in the Honghe River, and then mobilize the power of heaven and earth to guide it, it is possible to flood the army!"
"Great!" He Chengmao clapped his hands and laughed, nodded, "Calling the wind and rain is the ability of immortals and Buddhas, but making a big gap in the Honghe River, guiding the water, and then plugging the gap again after the war is over, a grandmaster of the Xuanguan realm should be able to do it."
"Yes, with Liu Litao's connections, it should not be difficult to invite a grandmaster of the Xuanguan realm." Sun Panshi sneered, "So, all this is actually just a scam he made.
"First, find someone who has no vested interests with us to be the governor of Juhe County, and then secretly invite a great master of the Mysterious Gate Realm to stage a drama of flooding the army, and then publicize it as calling the wind and rain, so that we will feel jealous. What a good trick!"
"I didn't expect that Liu Litao, who is low-key in his daily life, is so cunning in secret." Peng Lanzhi obviously believed what Wang Jinsheng and Sun Panshi said.
The others also nodded.
After all, this sounds very reasonable, and it is much more reliable than calling the wind and rain to directly destroy an army of 50,000.
"Everyone, let's toast to Brother Wang Xian. With his help, we can easily recognize Liu Litao's trick! "Sun Panshi was the first to raise his glass and stand up.
Several others also stood up and raised their glasses to toast Wang Jinsheng.
"Hahaha, thank you all for the compliments!"
Wang Jinsheng was obviously very pleased. He put down his folding fan and smiled, "The more Liu Litao uses intrigues and schemes, the more guilty he is. I found out about this so that everyone can plan with peace of mind. It will benefit the university!"
"That's right, brother Wang Xian is absolutely right!"
"That's the truth. We won this time! Cheers!"
"By the way, we have to toast that miserable new county magistrate, this poor scapegoat, hahaha!"
"Hahaha, this man must be a fool. He dares to take the position of Lu County Magistrate, hehe! "
In the private room of the restaurant, laughter and joy rang out again.
Sun Panshi, Wang Jinsheng and others never even mentioned the name of the future new county magistrate from beginning to end. They
did not take the new county magistrate seriously at all.
...
In order to celebrate the complete destruction of the Yanwang Army, Juhe County entered an unprecedented state of carnival.
Wine and food were also prepared in the inner hall of the county government.
Hui Shi, Lu Zhengming, and Zhao Guang all sat here.
However, no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.
The three of them looked at Cui Heng, who was sitting at the main seat, waiting for Cui Heng to speak.
"What are you looking at me for?" Cui Heng picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of food, smiling, "Why are you so nervous? I'm just saying goodbye and having a meal with you."
"Are you leaving here now, Your Excellency?" Hui Shi sighed.
Lu Zhengming and Zhao Guang were also silent.
The fate of the three of them actually changed because of Cui Heng's appearance.
If it weren't for Cui Heng, Hui Shi would still be a monk, enduring humiliation and being a disciple of the enemy who killed his father. Lu Zhengming would probably still be in prison, and Zhao Guang would have died in the tomb of King Lu a long time ago.
This is the great benefactor who changed their fate.
Cui Heng looked at the three people and chuckled, "You all want to go to Lu County City with me?"
"I am willing to follow the Immortal Lord until death!"
The three people said in unison, and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Cui Heng at the same time.
They really believed that Cui Heng was the "Immortal Lord".
"What will happen to Juhe County if the three of you leave?" Cui Heng asked instead of answering, "Let the people here return to their previous lives, and then turn around and scold me?"
The three were silent.
"Although the Yan Wang army was destroyed, it also left behind a Xiling County City that was in ruins and unmanaged." Cui Heng added: "There are tens of thousands of people there, and we can't just let them fend for themselves."
Hearing this, the three people admired Cui Heng more and more in their hearts. He was indeed a living immortal with great compassion.
"Zhao Guang, you stay in Juhe County as the county magistrate." Cui Heng suddenly gave the order, and then said to Lu Zhengming: "Old Lu, I plan to let you go to Xiling County, first serve as the county magistrate and act as the county governor, and do your best to restore people's livelihood.
"If someone asks about your origins, just say that Cui Heng, the prefect of Lu County, appointed you. With the current level of chaos in Fengzhou, no one will object to this."
This is actually an experiment of his.
If someone is sent to govern the 50,000 people in Xiling County City, restore the people's livelihood there, and let the people know that he sent people there.
Can emotional feedback be obtained?
"As for you, Huishi." Cui Heng smiled and said, "just follow me to Lu County City, and then be Xu Fengan's deputy. "
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable! "Hui Shi was filled with gratitude.
Lu Zhengming and Zhao Guang both looked at Hui Shi with envy.
...
Seven days later.
Cui Heng gradually made follow-up arrangements for Juhe County and Xiling County City.
He was about to set off for Lu County City.
At the same time, the news that the Yan King's army of hundreds of thousands of people was killed overnight by heaven's will had spread.
For a time, the whole world was shocked!
