Chapter 125 Soul Shackles
After giving a bow, Su Hao turned around and walked out of the Chenghuang Temple, only the thousand-year-old ginseng was placed quietly on the altar.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yi's mouth in the divine realm raised slightly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He had only seen Su Hao seem to be overly addicted to power and ignore his practice. He also wanted to ease the relationship with Su Hao, so he took the initiative to give in. But he didn't expect that something amazing seemed to be released.
At this time, Su Hao, who walked out of the City Emperor Temple, felt that a layer of shackles had been removed on his body. However, when he thought of the shackles, Su Hao's expression became gloomy again. It was indeed not possible for the Ming Dynasty to rule the world in this world full of ghosts and gods for two hundred years.
This time, Lu Yi's guidance was not to point out his shortcomings in his practice. He was systematic and there was no big obstacle in his practice. Instead, he had a layer of invisible shackles that he had put on after becoming a thousand households of Jinyiwei, a invisible thought hidden deep in his heart, and an invisible thought that made him abide by the rules of the officialdom.
It is now the end of the third year of the Apocalypse, and in two months it will be the fourth year of the Apocalypse. There are only more than three years left before Wei Zhongxian's fall. He defected to Wei Zhongxian, and the grain investigation with Fang Haichuan also caused heavy losses to the Donglin Party. Once Wei Zhongxian fell, the Donglin Party would come to power, and after Chongzhen ascended the throne, rebellions in various places would occur one after another.
Logically speaking, what he should really do now is to cultivate his own power with all his might, and then find ways to gain more enlightenment points to enhance his strength, so that he can protect himself after Wei Zhongxian falls.
Instead of checking out some bullshits here, with his current status as Qianhu, even if he assassinated the patriarchs of the wealthy families in Jinan Prefecture, and then called for a thief to catch the thief, he could get a considerable enlightenment point.
As for great achievements, he could pay for it. Fang Haichuan was in the capital and it was a slaughter to help him acquire some great achievements.
But he chose the stupidest direction, just Zhang Chongxiu. Even if he could help him, how many he could have is probably not even one ten thousandth of the system.
This is not his stupidity, but this invisible thought has always influenced his thinking. Before becoming the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, he thought of hiding in the deep mountains and forests to practice martial arts masters, and then going out to fight for dominance of the world.
However, after becoming the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, the idea of fighting for dominance in the world never appeared again. He had plotted against Fang Haichuan and killed Li Yaoping and the others before. However, after being promoted to Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, the rebellious thoughts in his heart seemed to be hidden, and he became more concerned about the position of Qianhu of the Jinyiwei and the power of Qianhu of the Jinyiwei.
When facing the patriarchs of the wealthy families, Tong Hong and others, there was no such thing as trying to replace them with enlightenment. Instead, they thought that if there was no benefit, everyone would not disturb each other. This was incredible to him. After all, a long time ago, he knew that his opponents would be these people in the future.
Even he himself did not notice these changes. If it weren't for Lu Yi's pointing out this shackle for him this time, then he would have been developing in this stupidest direction. Perhaps he would have to wait until Wei Zhongxian fell down and lost the position of Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, that he might have woken up...
He also had some speculations about this layer of shackles. This may be the court's restrictions on some local officials. As the Jinyiwei Qianhu, who is in charge of the Jinyiwei in one government, he can barely be regarded as a local official.
He also understood this method. Officials who had powerful power could easily develop ambitions. Without restrictive means, the court would probably be busy quelling the rebellion every day.
………
Henan, Kaifeng Prefecture, Ferry.
In a tea stall, He Liu, Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang were quietly watching the people coming and going on the ferry, and merchant ships were constantly coming and going.
"Sixth brother, what should I do next?"
Gan Yang's face, which had always been cold and calm, rarely appeared sad. "The grandson named Wu really wants to kill us."
"Yes, Brother Six."
Jiang Shizhong also said with a bitter face: "This Huangsha Gang is from the Zhou Palace. If the Huangsha Gang is moved, the Zhou Palace will never give us good fruits."
Before the demon fox was caught, the three of them received the order from the yamen and rushed back in a hurry.
As soon as they arrived at the yamen, Wu Kun arranged a task for them to deal with the Li family, the largest family in the city. There were thousands of ships under the name of the Li family, monopolizing most of the water freight transport in Kaifeng Prefecture.
As a result, just as the Li family was brought down, Wu Kun asked them to deal with the Huangsha Gang. The Huangsha Gang was the only gang at the ferry at Kaifeng Prefecture. Behind it is the Zhou Palace, which is used by the Zhou Palace to control the river transportation at the ferry at Kaifeng Prefecture. If the Li family is moved, at most some civil officials will offend them. They dare to offend, but they can't offend the Zhou Palace.
The Zhou Palace is different from the Zheng Palace before. The Zheng Palace was a taboo before, but the Zhou Palace is different. The Zhou Palace has always been responsible for its duties. When they dealt with the Huangsha Gang, they slapped the Zhou Palace in the face in public. As a vassal king, there was nothing left, and there was only one face left. If a few of them dared to slap each other in the face, the Zhou Palace would definitely take revenge wildly. At that time, the few of them would probably be difficult to describe.
"You two go to Shandong to join Brother Su."
He Liu shook his head: "I want to wait for Qianhu here. Everyone else has defected to Wu Kun. If I leave too, when Qianhu comes back, he will not even have someone to use."
"Sixth brother, why are you so stubborn? Now you go to Shandong to join Brother Su first. It's not too late to return to Kaifeng Mansion when Qianhu comes back."
Jiang Shizhong hurriedly advised him, he didn't understand why He Liu had to be so stubborn. He could avoid Wu Kun after going to Shandong, but he had to stay here.
"You guys go."
He Liu shook his head. Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang wanted to go to Shandong to su Hao, and he was happy to see that. He and Jiang Shizhong have been born and died for so many years. If they are not brothers, they will not want them to go to the same path with him.
As for himself, to be honest, it is not difficult to mobilize Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang to try the hundred households, but it is definitely not easy to mobilize a hundred households in the Jinyiwei, especially since Wu Kun was still staring at him, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Su Hao.
On the other side, Zichuan County.
As a wealthy family that has been rooted in Zibo County for more than 200 years, the Zhang family's house is naturally small, and it is made up of two three-entry houses...
But outside the Zhang family today, dozens of yamen runners, led by the head of the head Zhang Qi, blocked the front and back doors of the entire Zhang family tightly.
"Catcher Zhang, what do you mean?"
Looking at Zhang Qi who was blocking the door and the many yamen runners, the Zhang family butler frowned. They were all from the same county, so he naturally knew Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi asked, "Where is your master?"
The Zhang family housekeeper frowned and said, "My master is at home. Is there anything wrong with Captain Zhang?"
"I have something to do and want to see your master, go in and report it."
Zhang Qi had a serious expression: "It's a very important thing."
"Please wait a moment, Captain Zhang."
Seeing Zhang Qi's expression, the Zhang family butler nodded quickly and hurried back home.
Not far away, Su Hao and Zhou Xu were wearing casual clothes and looked at the Zhang family from afar.
"Su Qianhu, why is it so troublesome? Isn't it enough to just rush in and arrest people?"
Zhou Xu was puzzled and had already captured the White Lotus Sect who had arranged by the Zhang family at the city gate. He could just come to the door and arrest people. He had to ask Zhang Qi to take people to the Zhang family to test.
"The Zhang family colluded with the people of the White Lotus Sect. Who knows how many White Lotus Sect masters there are in their family. If they break in rashly, they will only fall into the trap."
Su Hao said calmly: "It's better to let Captain Zhang and the others test it."
When Zhou Xu's face changed when he heard Su Hao's words, Zhang Qi and the others were his subordinates. Su Hao actually used them as bait, but Zhou Xu still didn't say anything.
The White Lotus Sect's people appeared in Zibo and controlled the city gate, but he knew nothing. If Su Hao had not discovered it, his fate would definitely not be much better.
