Chapter 94 This is all Daoyi Palace's conspiracy

"Hahaha! It's good that Governor Ren has agreed!" Wei Xiong laughed heartily and took the initiative to raise the wine glass, "Here, this glass is for you."

"Okay!" Ren Yuankui nodded heavily and raised the wine glass, "I'll have to ask Wei Biejia to take care of me in the future, and please say a few good words in front of Governor Shen."

"Of course there is no problem." Wei Xiong drank the wine and smiled very comfortably.

After all, as the governor of a state who is in charge of the affairs of a state, the tax revenue of Fengzhou received by Youzhou is almost equivalent to that received by him. It goes without saying how many resources can be freely allocated.

This is a big gift!

"Then please don't drive." Ren Yuankui toasted Wei Xiong with another glass of wine, pretending to be bitter, "I'm so poor this time that I have to tighten my belt."

"Haha, are you still playing tricks on me?" Wei Xiong laughed and scolded, "Can you make a loss? Why not just increase the taxes of the people? As long as there is no figure like Hongwu Heavenly King in Fengzhou under your rule, there will be no loss." "

Hahaha." Ren Yuankui laughed and said no more.

In fact, for him, this transaction is still very well calculated.

As long as he can get the position of Fengzhou Mu.

It's all worth it.

All the efforts now can be made back with more money!

And even if he promised benefits to Youzhou, it was not his own money.

In the end, it was the common people who were oppressed, and even the interests of the families, sects, and even merchants could not be affected.

This could not really affect his rule over Fengzhou.

Even if an uprising really broke out, it didn't matter.

At that time, he could easily persuade the families, sects, and merchants to suppress the uprising.

After all, these common people were the foundation of these people. If the foundation collapsed, the foundation would also collapse, and they would definitely join forces to suppress it.

"A bunch of peasants, without strong backing, it's impossible for them to rebel even if they want to." Ren Yuankui looked outside and sneered, "There is no Hongwu Heavenly King now."

Since ancient times, there have been countless kings, princes, generals and ministers who have risen, but the only one who rose from a commoner to dominate the world was the Hongwu Heavenly King more than 200 years ago.

Even after so much time, the word Hongwu is still a nightmare for all the "superiors" in the world.

Unfortunately, there is only one Hongwu Heavenly King.

There will never be a second one, and there must never be a second one.

This is the common understanding of all the people in power in the world.

"Yes, there is no Hongwu now, and there will be no Hongwu in the future!" Wei Xiong nodded, and he believed it deeply, but he seemed to think of something, looked in the direction of Lu County, frowned and said, "By the way, how much do you know about the governor of Lu County?"

"Why, Master Biejia still wants to find him?" Ren Yuankui immediately became alert when he heard it, "We have already agreed on it just now."

"Haha, what are you thinking of?" Wei Xiong waved his hand and laughed, "Just now when we talked about Hongwu, I felt that Cui Heng's style of doing things is somewhat similar to that of the latter. Don't you think so?"

"Well, fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land, collecting the industries of the major families and sects, and taking control of the people's livelihood..." Ren Yuankui nodded, and was immediately amazed and said, "Yes, it is very similar, but he is implementing new policies and conducting experiments in the counties under his rule, so it has not attracted much attention. If you think about it carefully, this is a complete replica of Hongwu Heavenly King!"

"In fact, I just said that Shenzhou Mu asked me to find Cui Heng to cooperate with him just to provoke him." Wei Xiong suddenly smiled and said, "It was Shenzhou Mu who heard about Cui Heng's practices in the counties of Lu County and asked me to investigate the truth. How much do you know about him?"

"Hahaha, Master Biejia scared me just now." Ren Yuankui was relieved after hearing this and laughed, "As for Cui Heng, I do know him. It seems that this man suddenly appeared in the past six months."

At this point, he paused, and said while recalling: "A few months ago, he appeared in Juhe County, Lu County, and served as the county magistrate. He won the hearts of the people by using the method of beating the local tyrants and dividing the land, and was loved.

"Later, he accepted the transfer of the former Lu County prefect Liu Litao and became the new Lu County prefect. As soon as he took office, he started a food and salt war with the merchants controlled by the Langya Wang family and the Taichong faction.

"After fighting for a month, he won the hearts of the people in the county, and then launched a brazen attack, confiscating the property and exterminating the clans

of those merchants. He even arrested Wang Jinsheng, the eldest son of the second branch of the Wang family of Langya, and Wang Qingquan, the head of the fourth branch. He was really daring. "Then he began to send one of his subordinates to the counties under his jurisdiction to implement the new policy, which was still the same method of beating the local tyrants and dividing the land. To this day, he has offended almost all the major forces in the county.

"The last one is the big event that happened recently. The Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Pingshan joined forces with the major forces of the counties of Lu County and led tens of thousands of troops to attack Lu County City. In the end, they were trapped and flooded, and the whole army was annihilated."

"Did they really set a trap and flooded the army?" Wei Xiong stroked his beard and frowned, "Why did I hear that the governor of Lu County has great magical powers and can call the wind and rain?

"Previously in Juhe County, they had caused a flood to drown the Yan thief army. This time, the Wang Xie coalition was defeated and the attack on Lu County City failed and was destroyed. There are also reports that it was the governor of Lu County who displayed great magical powers.

"It is said that the ground beneath the feet of the Wang-Xie coalition collapsed, and tens of thousands of soldiers were instantly buried in a deep pit. Later, the deep pit connected with the Hong River, leaving behind a large lake and a large river. How credible do you think this is, Governor Ren?"

"Impossible." Ren Yuankui shook his head and frowned, "I have also heard rumors about Cui Heng's great magical powers, but they are too exaggerated. How could there be such a person in the world? If it is just one person's power, even the immortals in the upper realm cannot do it."

"Has Governor Ren ever sent anyone to take a look at the site?" Wei Xiong thought for a moment and said, "That big river and that big lake. The first time might have been luck, but the second time was just too much of a coincidence."

In the minds of most people, the only two times Cui Heng possessed great supernatural powers were when he summoned the wind and rain in Juhe County and destroyed the coalition forces of Wang and Xie in Lu County.

After all, both of these happened in public.

As for what happened in Xiling County, since no one saw Cui Heng cast a spell, few people would connect this with Cui Heng.

Only some people who migrated from Juhe County to Xiling County guessed that it might have been Cui Heng who did it, but it was just a guess. Most people still believed that the Yan bandit army had committed many injustices and was punished by God.

In this ancient society, feudal superstition was the mainstream value.

"Of course I went to check it out, seeing is believing." Ren Yuankui smiled, "The roaring river and the misty lake are really amazing, it is simply the work of nature.

"If this was really caused by the efforts of one person, then the governor of Lu County would be an immortal saint walking in the world, an invincible god or Buddha. What a pity... hehe!"

"Oh?" Wei Xiong asked hurriedly upon seeing this, "Does Governor Ren have any clues about the truth?"

"Hehe, actually it's not much of a clue. Many of the governor's spies should have found out about it." Ren Yuankui smiled and said, "Who do you think our spies saw in Lu County City?"

"Who?" Wei Xiong asked puzzledly.

"Zhou Hongyi!" Ren Yuankui clapped his hands and laughed, "Even when the so-called flood river flowed through the deep pit and gathered river water to form a lake, it was Zhou Hongyi pretending to be Cui Heng."

"Zhou Hongyi, isn't he the direct disciple of Zhang Shuming, the head of Daoyi Palace?" Wei Xiong was shocked and doubtful when he heard it. Many thoughts flashed through his mind at once. He suddenly got a shock, as if he suddenly figured something out. "You mean, all this is actually Daoyi Palace's..."

"That's right!" Ren Yuankui nodded and said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, this Cui Heng has been a chess piece of Daoyi Palace from the beginning, a chess piece that interfered in this hundred years of immortal fate and even in the interests of the human world!

"Perhaps you don't know, but a few days ago, the governor of Lu County began to send letters to the governors of other counties, openly declaring that he wanted to be the governor of a state, and asked us to behave ourselves."

"Yes, then everything can be explained!" Wei Xiong felt that everything was suddenly clear, and smiled, "A man with no background has become a governor in just a few months, and has done earth-shaking things one after another, and is competing for the position of governor of a state.

"This is obviously impossible to do with the power of one person. There must be an extremely powerful force secretly helping and fanning the flames. The force that can create the power of calling the wind and rain, and even causing the earth to collapse and the rivers to flow, must be Daoyi Palace!

"Daoyi Palace claims to have been passed down for thousands of years, and its foundation is extremely profound. It has countless magical weapons hidden in it. Their martial arts also emphasize being close to nature, and it is very likely that they have magical weapons that can affect celestial phenomena in a short period of time!

“If there is the power of the immortal weapon and the help of the gods, it is not impossible to dig a huge pit underground as a trap in advance, which is enough to create a shocking great magical power! ”

“Moreover, whether it is the Juhe County that called the wind and rain, or this time in Lu County City, they actually used the terrain adjacent to the Hong River, which greatly reduced the difficulty of operation.

“Use these two so-called "great magical powers" to strengthen Cui Heng's power, and then take advantage of the strongest power to send letters to the governors of various counties to demonstrate, intending to defeat the enemy without fighting!

“Okay, what a good plan, Daoyi Palace is worthy of being the leader of Taoism, he is really good at calculating, and it is extraordinary. "

After some review, the two of them clearly analyzed Cui Heng's "true face". From the moment Cui Heng appeared, every major event he did could be pointed to the conspiracy of Daoyi Palace!

"Yes, Daoyi Palace is very important." Ren Yuankui smiled bitterly and said, "Cui Heng is at best just a pawn of Daoyi Palace, not a big deal, but the Daoyi Palace behind him is extremely tricky.

"Don't drive, I won't hide it from you. If I hadn't handed over 40% of the taxes to win the support of the Ye and Jiang families, I really didn't want to fight for the position of governor. Now I'm in a difficult situation and have no choice."

"Haha, are you going to give up the position of governor to Cui Heng?" Wei Xiong saw through his thoughts and sneered, "Don't think about bargaining. Even if you don't fight for the position of governor and let Cui Heng sit on it, you will be hanged on the flagpole according to his political direction."

"Hahaha, Lord Don't drive has seen this, so I won't bargain." Ren Yuankui smiled again as if he changed his face and said, "In fact, I have discussed this with several other county governors before, and finally I thought of a way.

"Since Cui Heng has the support of Daoyi Palace, why don't we directly find the enemy of Daoyi Palace?"

"You mean... Baolin Zen Temple? "Wei Xiong was stunned at first, then he laughed, "Haha, that's true, that group of monks and the Taoists of Daoyi Palace are indeed mortal enemies!

" "In this way, Cui Heng is the meat pie caught between the two huge monsters, Daoyi Palace and Baolin Zen Temple. With the pulling of the two sides, it is impossible for him to sit on the position of governor.

"In the end, it must be you, the prefect of Luoan County, who has completed all the normal procedures. "

Bang!

At this moment, there was a loud noise suddenly from outside, like the sound of a door being knocked open.

Then two figures were thrown in with a buzz.

"Who!" Ren Yuankui shouted, "Come quickly, there is an assassin!"

"Anyone who dares to approach will be killed on the spot! "Hui Shi drew out the steel knife from his waist, and with a casual move, he slashed out a three-meter-long blade light, blocking a group of soldiers outside.

Etiquette?

When Cui Heng sent Hui Shi out, he asked him to pay attention to the situation of the local people.

For a place like Luoan County where people were frozen to death, there will definitely be a large-scale purge in the future, and there is no need to talk about etiquette.

He looked at Ren Yuankui.

"Are you the governor of Luoan County? I am the envoy of the governor of Lu County. I have a letter to give you. Come and receive it quickly!"
