"Hahaha! Just let the prefect Ren agree!" Wei Xiong laughed happily and took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, "Come on, I'll toast you this cup."

"Okay!" Ren Yuankui focused his head and raised his wine glass and said, "I will ask the guards to take care of you in the future. I will still say a few more beautiful words in front of the Shenzhou Mu."

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

After all, as the Prime Minister, he was a state governor, and the taxes he received from Youzhou from Fengzhou were almost equivalent to that he got. It goes without saying how many resources he could allocate at will.

This is a great gift!

"Then I'll stop doing it." Ren Yuankui toasted Wei Xiong with a glass of wine and pretended to be bitter. "I'm so poor this time that I'm so poor that I'm going to tighten my belt."

"Haha, are you still performing with me?" Wei Xiong laughed and scolded, "Will you lose money? Just raise the taxes of the people directly. As long as there is no person like the King of Hongwu in Fengzhou under your rule, you will not lose money."

"Hahaha." Ren Yuankui laughed and stopped talking.

In fact, for him, this deal was still very cost-effective.

As long as you can call the position of the governor of Fengzhou.

It's all worth it.

All efforts now can be regained even more!

And even if he promised Youzhou the benefits, he would not use his own money.

In the end, the ordinary people were all exploited, and they could not even touch the interests of their families and sects and even merchants.

This would not really affect his rule over Fengzhou.

Even if the rebel army really breaks out, it doesn't matter.

At that time, he could easily persuade the forces of the family, sects, and merchants to suppress the uprising army.

After all, these ordinary people "carry" the foundation of them. If the foundation collapses, it will collapse and they will definitely join forces to suppress them.

"Just a bunch of mud legs. Without strong backstage support, it is impossible to rebel even if you want to rebel." 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, but they have swept the world from common clothes. Only the King of Hongwu more than two hundred years ago.

Even though so long has passed, the word Hongwu is still a nightmare for all the "highest people" in the world.

Unfortunately, there is only one King of Hongwu.

There will be no second one, and there will never be another 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 future!" Wei Xiong nodded, deeply convinced, but he seemed to have thought of something again. He looked at the direction of Lu County and frowned, "By the way, how much do you know about the prefect of Lu County?"

"Why, don't you want to find him?" Ren Yuankui immediately became alert when he heard this, "We have agreed just now."

"Haha, where have you been thinking about it?" Wei Xiong waved his hand and smiled, "I just talked about Hongwu just now. I feel that Cui Heng's style of conduct is somewhat similar to that person. Don't you think?"

"Well, I will fight the local tyrants to divide the land, confiscate the industries of various major families and sects, and take all the livelihoods into my hands..." Ren Yuankui nodded and said in a frightened manner, "That's right, it's really similar, but he is doing experiments in various counties by implementing the new policy and then governing various counties, so he did not attract much attention. If you think about it carefully, this is a completely replica of the King of Hongwu!"

"Actually, I just said that Chenzhou Mu asked me to find Cui Heng to cooperate with him just a provocation." Wei Xiong suddenly smiled, "In fact, after Chenzhou Mu heard about Cui Heng's approach in various counties in Lu County, he asked me to check the truth and reality. How much do you know about him?"

"Hahaha, don't drive me so scared just now." Ren Yuankui sighed relieved after hearing this and smiled, "As for Cui Heng, I have indeed known this person. It seems that he suddenly appeared in the past six months."

Speaking of this, he paused and recalled, "A few months ago, he appeared in Juhe County, Lujun, and served as the county magistrate. He won the hearts of the people by defeating local tyrants and sharing the land.

"Later, he accepted the transfer from Liu Litao, the former prefect of Lu County, and became the new prefect of Lu County. As soon as he took office, he fought a grain-salt battle with the merchants controlled by the Wang family of Langya and the Taichong Sect.

"After a month of fighting, I won the hearts of the people in the county and city, and then I took a bold attack, scouting the merchants' homes and exterminating the clan. Even Wang Jinsheng, the eldest son of the second house of the Wang family in Langya, and Wang Qingquan, the fourth house leader, were arrested. They were so bold.

"Then he began to send his subordinates to the counties under his rule to implement new regulations, and to attack the local tyrants and divide the land. To this day, he has offended all the major forces in the county.

"The last thing is the big event that happened recently. The Wang family of Langya and Xie family of Pingshan joined forces with major forces from various counties in Lu County, and they attacked the city of Lu County. In the end, they were trapped and flooded, and their entire army was wiped out... To be honest, this guy is indeed a character!"

"Is it really a trap to flood?" Wei Xiong stroked his beard and frowned, "Why did I hear that the prefect of Lu County has great powers and can call the wind and rain?"

"When I was in Juhe County, I had flooded the Yan bandit army. This time, the Wang and Xie coalition was destroyed and attacked Lu County City failed. There are also reports that it was the prefect of Lu County who used his great powers.

"It is said that the land under the feet of the Wang and Xie coalition forces collapsed directly, and tens of thousands of troops were instantly buried in a deep pit. Then the deep pit was connected to the Hong River, leaving behind a large lake and a large river. Prefect Ren thought this was a bit credible?" spanstyle> Valley/spanstyle>

"Impossible." Ren Yuankui shook his head and frowned, "I have heard of the rumors that Cui Heng has great supernatural powers, but they are all too exaggerated. How could there be such a person in the world? Even the immortals in the upper world can't do it."

"Has the prefect Ren sent someone to see it on the spot?" Wei Xiong thought for a moment, "It's that big river and the lake. The first time may be luck, but it's a bit too coincidental."

In most cognitions, the statement about Cui Heng having great supernatural powers is just the two times when Juhe County City defeated the Wang Xie coalition.

After all, both of these happened in full view of the public.

As for the matter in Xiling County, since no one saw that Cui Heng was casting spells, few people would associate this with Cui Heng.

Only some people migrated from Juhe County to Xiling County, the people speculated that it might be Cui Heng's actions, but it was just speculation. More people believed that the Yan thieves were mostly unjust and were punished by God.

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

"Of course I went to check it out, but seeing it is true." Ren Yuankui smiled, "The river surging, the lake water is really amazing, it is simply a natural creation!

"If this is really caused by one person's strength, then the prefect of Lu County is the immortal saint walking on the earth, an unparalleled god and Buddha. What a pity... Humph!"

"Oh?" Wei Xiong hurriedly asked, "There is a clue to the truth in the prefect Ren?"

"Hehe, it's not actually a clue. Many spies from the county magistrates should have found it." Ren Yuankui smiled and said, "Are you guessing that our spies saw in Lujun City?"

"Who?" Wei Xiong asked in confusion.

"Zhou Hongyi!" Ren Yuankui smiled, "Even when the so-called Honghe penetrates deep pits and gathers rivers into lakes, it is Zhou Hongyi's way."

"Zhou Hongyi, isn't he the disciple of Zhang Shuming, the head of Daoyi Palace, who entered the house?" Wei Xiong was shocked and puzzled when he heard this. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He suddenly felt aroused, as if he had suddenly figured out something. "What do you mean is that all this is actually Daoyi Palace..."

"That's right!" Ren Yuankui nodded and said solemnly, "If I expected it would be right, Cui Heng was a chess piece from the Taoist Palace from the beginning, a chess piece that intervened in this century-old immortal fate and even the interests of the world!

"Maybe you don't know yet. Just a few days ago, the prefect of Nalu County had already begun to send letters to the county magistrates, openly claiming that he wanted to be the prefectural governor, and hope that we would be more peaceful."

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

"This is obviously impossible to do with the power of a person. There must be extremely powerful forces secretly promoting the fire. And the forces that can fake calls for wind and rain, even the collapse of the earth and penetrate rivers are the only one palace!

"The Taoist Palace claims to have been passed down for thousands of years, with a very profound foundation, and contains countless immortal weapons. Their martial arts are also about being close to nature, so it is very likely that they have immortal weapons that can influence the celestial phenomena in a short period of time!

"If there is the power of the immortal weapon and the divine realm, it is not impossible to dig a huge hole underground in advance to make a trap. It is enough to pretend to be a shocking magical power!

"Using the so-called 'great magical power' twice, Cui Heng's power, and then took advantage of the strongest momentum to send letters to the prefects of each county to demonstrate, with the intention of defeating the troops without fighting!

"Okay, it's so easy to plot. Daoyigong is worthy of being the leader of the Taoist sect. He is really good at plotting, which is a great deal."

After some review, these two people clearly analyzed Cui Heng's "original appearance". Starting from Cui Heng's appearance, every major thing they do can point to the plan of Dao Yigong!

"Yes, Daoyi Palace is not a minor matter." Ren Yuankui smiled bitterly and said, "Cui Heng is just a pawn of Daoyi Palace at best, it's nothing, but the Daoyi Palace behind him is extremely difficult.

"Don't let me know, I won't hide it from you. If I had not paid 40% of the taxes before to win the support of Ye Jiang's two families, I wouldn't really want to compete for the position of governor of this state. Now it's difficult to get rid of the tiger, so I have to do it."

"Haha, can you give up the position of state governor to Cui Heng?" Wei Xiong saw through his thoughts and sneered, "Don't bargain. Even if you don't fight for this state governor and let Cui Heng do it. With his government orders, you will be hung with a flagpole."

"Hahaha, this is something that the other magistrates can see, so I won't bargain." Ren Yuankui smiled again as if he changed his face, "Actually, I have discussed it with several other county magistrates before, and finally came up with a solution.

"Since Cui Heng has the support of Dao Yi Palace, why don't we find an opponent of Dao Yi Palace directly?"

"You mean... Baolin Zen Temple?" Wei Xiong was stunned at first when he heard this, then laughed, "Haha, that's true. Those monks and Taoist priests in the Daoyi Palace are indeed mortal enemies!

"In this way, Cui Heng was caught between the meat pie between the two giants, Daoyigong and Baolin Zen Temple. With the two sides pulling it, it was impossible for him to take the position of the governor of the state.

"In the end, you, the prefect of Luo'an County, must have completed all the normal procedures, will sit on you."

Bang!

At this moment, there was a loud noise from the outside news, as if the door was being opened, and then two figures were thrown in.

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

"Who dares to approach, kill it on the spot!" Hui Shi pulled out the steel knife at his waist, slashed out three feet of sword light with a casual knife, blocking the soldiers, and then looked at Ren Yuankui.

"Are you the magistrate of Luo'an County? I am the envoy of the prefect of Lu County. I have a letter to you. Come and receive it!"
