Chapter 98: The Elegant Generation
The magistrate of Ningyang was furious: "How dare you point fingers at the subordinates of our county?
Which immortal sect do you come from? Do you understand the rules?"
The tone is full of disgust.
These officials who come from scholars and follow the words of the saints, so-called respect for ghosts and gods and distance themselves have always lacked favoritism for the immortal sect!
However, the Taoist sneered even more: "Mr. Magistrate, now is not the time for you to show off your power. This time, you can just wait and lose your head!"
The magistrate became even more angry. He wanted to have an attack again, but the corner of his clothes was already pulled by his staff. He shook his head desperately and winked the magistrate.
The magistrate was puzzled, so the aide had to stand up and said, "I dare to ask all the Taoists what important things are? Just say that. I think things should be very urgent, otherwise the Taoists would not have broken in!"
After saying this, the magistrate woke up. Yes, let’s first listen to what these Taoists want to say!
However, the Taoist just sneered: "It's important to be a big deal. It's better to leave the idle people waiting for it to avoid leaking the secret!"
The staff laughed: "Students are quite familiar with the county government, and there may be useful things!
Besides, it’s really a secret, and I can’t leave. Otherwise, if the secret is leaked, then the students and others will not be able to argue!"
The two Taoists looked at each other, nodded, and said, "What you said is reasonable!"
He also told Guangwei magistrate: "We Xu Zuguan found traces of the movements of the Three-Eyed Demon Sect in Gui County..."
Before he could finish his words, the aide who had just stepped forward had already gasped and screamed: "What!"
The county magistrate and the several clean guests were puzzled, but looking at this, it seemed that something amazing happened...
Guangwei County Magistrate regarded himself as elegant and did not take care of common affairs, and rarely interfered in the affairs of the county.
The guests close to him were probably similar people, playing chess together, talking about poetry, painting, etc.
Anyway, it’s pretty good for everyone to do art together!
But I am not familiar with political affairs at all.
At this moment, it seems that only one of the staff members is a sensible person!
The aide was very familiar with his proprietor and quickly explained: "The Three-Eyed Demon Sect is the court. A few years ago, the court ordered a reiteration that it would be strictly prohibited from any officials, civilians and others from believing it. Violators would confiscate their families and exterminate their clans!"
As soon as these words were said, the magistrate and others took a breath and began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
The Song Dynasty was in peace for more than two hundred years, and the government orders were lenient and slow, and rarely issued such murderous orders.
And it was reiterated a few years ago, which shows that the court is still strictly enforcing this matter, not an old order decades ago or hundreds of years ago...
For example, although the order to strictly prohibit the hut delegation is still there, no one has mentioned it for at least decades.
Although the court did not revoke this order, it was almost equivalent to being in name only.
This is different from the ban on the Three-Eyed Demon Sect!
"And..." The aide continued to say in a deep voice: "Local officials must be strictly guarded. Once they cannot detect it, or if they are lenient, local officials will be dismissed from their posts and take action!
At the beginning of the year, the prefect of Xunyang Prefecture was dismissed for this matter and was transferred to the capital on the spot. He was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles and was pardoned and refused to be pardoned!"
The Song Dynasty seldom killed officials, and exiled to three thousand miles was the worst crime.
Add to that if you are pardoned, it will simply make people unable to return home even if they die!
In short, after hearing the story, the Guangwei County Magistrate had sweaty on his forehead and almost collapsed on the ground.
When the two immortal Taoists saw this, they contemptuously said: "Idiot!"
If the county magistrate had not been required to use the seal, they would have been too lazy to talk to such idiots.
However, this staff member explained the matter clearly, so that they would not be too rude. At this moment, he said bluntly: "This time we have come here in person and have already attacked those demons!
The matter is serious, you already know. If a demon sect is released this time, the magistrate, please wait to be exiled to the poor mountain!"
So, the county magistrate has never experienced such things. Since he entered the officialdom, he has never been concerned about political affairs, but he has also taken office as a smooth sailing.
At this time, when something serious was happening, he was already sweating like rain and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes... I dare to ask how the supervisor asked me to cooperate?"
Both immortal Taoists shook their heads and said so clearly. This fool still has to ask how to cooperate?
I could only bear it and said: "Mr. Magistrate, now we need you to cooperate to mobilize the ghost soldiers of the Chenghuang Yinsi!
Also, the city gates will be blocked immediately and no demons are allowed to be let go!
Also, the Wu family, the big family in your county, is also a demon sect. They need the county magistrate to cooperate and mobilize personnel to search!"
"I, I immediately... just how to mobilize..." Guangwei magistrate looked confused.
In this state, his staff couldn't stand it and reminded him: "Dongweng, you need the county magistrate's seal!"
"Oh!" Guangwei magistrate woke up from his dream: "Get my big seal, go and get my big seal!"
Before the two Taoists could speak, the aide had already shouted: "Dongweng, this kind of thing must prevent the leak of news. Why not let me and this Taoist priest go to get the big seal? You can accompany another Taoist priest to rest here for a while!"
The magistrate of Guangwei was still a little confused about why he did this, but it seemed that nothing was wrong after doing this, so he responded immediately.
The look of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the two Taoists.
This arrangement is appropriate! With Taoist being around, you are not afraid of someone raising the news.
They are really those guys from the Three-Eyed Demon Sect, who are too elusive and are better at confusing the heart. No one knows whether anyone in this yamen is a believer of the Three-Eyed Demon Sect!
At the moment, a Taoist accompanied the staff to get the seal of the magistrate. The seal of the main hall could not be used easily, and it was impossible to carry it with you.
"Do not blame Taoist priest, my Dongweng is not like this normally. Maybe this time I was suddenly scared..."
Many times, people are not that unbearable.
But many people lack the ability to adapt or have not experienced major events.
So much so that I was confused when I encountered something!
This is what this county magistrate is now.
However, logically speaking, a county magistrate has a high position and a powerful position, and can be said to be a Bailihou. They are all selected elite figures. How could this be so?
After all, this magistrate is just a useless idiot.
Of course, the deeper reason is the question of the body!
The Song Dynasty was peaceful for too long, the country was strong, the people were prosperous, and the civil and military played with each other.
Among the officials, there are more and more elegant people, so there are naturally fewer people who work hard!
Although the Taoist sneered in his heart, he did not refute it.
Although the Song Dynasty court nominally gave the Taoist Supervisor the power to supervise local administration, in fact, out of fear of the seven immortal gates, he was very wary of Taoist intervention in politics.
Therefore, these immortal Taoists are also very conscious and generally do not express their opinions on political affairs!
