Chapter 232 Official skills are no match for supernatural powers!
An hour later, Chengzhou City, Zhoucheng.
A purple sword light fell from the sky, fell directly into the streets of the city, and transformed into a young man in green shirt holding a purple flying sword, it was Chu He.
Someone exclaimed: "Immortal!"
He also cleverly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Immortal, accept me as your disciple!"
However, Chu He's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, causing many people to think that they had just hallucinated.
After a while, the Governor's Mansion.
Two well-dressed guards with swords stood in front of the door, looking cold.
At this time, a young man in a green shirt suddenly appeared in front of the door and said coldly: "Let me inform you, Lord Governor, that I want to see him and ask him to come out to greet me!"
One of the guards suddenly said coldly: "How brave! How dare you let the governor come to greet you. If you can't explain the reason, you have no choice but to go to the prison in the city."
Chu He didn't say anything, but just took out his prince's token.
The two guards looked at it carefully, and their expressions suddenly changed. They hurriedly knelt down and bowed in salute: "I see you, Your Highness, the Fourth Prince!"
Chu He took back the token and said coldly: "Go quickly!"
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a purple official robe and an elegant face came out to greet him, bowed and saluted: "I am the governor of Chengzhou, Zhang Changsong, to see His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"
Chu He glanced at him and could sense the hot energy of the early stage of a master, but he didn't care and said calmly: "Get up!"
A moment later, in the hall.
Chu He said: "Master Zhang, you first send someone to invite officials at all levels in the city to come over to discuss disaster relief matters."
Zhang Changsong looked respectful and said: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Immediately, he called two guards and asked them to notify officials at all levels.
At this time, Chu He said: "This king is here to open a warehouse to release grain and relieve the victims. How much food is there in Changping Granary in the city now?"
Zhang Changsong immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, forgive me! In fact, I have long wanted to open a granary to release grain to help the victims. Unexpectedly, Meng Changhe, the newly appointed governor, secretly smuggled away all the grain in the granary. Changping Granary was almost empty, and the storage
The only way to obtain food is in the granary.
The thin layer on the surface cannot be found at all if you don't look carefully. The official neglected his duty and only discovered the abnormality when he was preparing to open the warehouse to release grain. The official has already written a letter to report to the Holy One, and he will surely catch it soon.
Meng Changhe, find the food."
When Chu He heard this, his face darkened, and he didn't believe Zhang Changsong's words.
How could no one notice that so much grain was shipped out of the warehouse? Moreover, the Changping warehouse was empty. He didn't notice it for so long. He only discovered it when he was about to provide disaster relief. What a lie.
Compared to Meng Changhe, he suspected that Zhang Changsong was responsible for the theft.
As for searching for Meng Changhe and retrieving food, it is even more nonsense. I am afraid that Meng Changhe will either be silenced or disappear at this moment.
If it were an ordinary prince, faced with this situation, it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
Without food, wanting to provide disaster relief can only be delusional. Even if you suspect Zhang Changsong, you can't take action against him.
Although Chu He had the Imperial Monk Fang Sword in his hand, ordinary officials below the third rank could be beheaded first and then reported. However, Zhang Changsong was the governor and a third-rank imperial official, so he was not an ordinary official who could be killed at will.
As for forcibly detaining Zhang Changsong and extracting confessions through torture, if the interrogation fails to produce the desired confession, there will be backlash, attracting criticism from officials of the prince and the second prince's faction.
But Chu He had no intention of playing with Zhang Changsong like a court official, because wouldn't this mean using his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points?
Immediately, Chu He thought, and a Taiyin soul power quietly invaded Zhang Changsong's sea of consciousness, freezing his Yin spirit, and then the power of the soul invaded his Yin spirit and searched his memory.
Ten minutes later, Chu He had a smile on his face because he got the information he wanted from Zhang Changsong's memory.
It turned out that Zhang Changsong, who appeared to be an official of the prince's line, was actually a secret agent of the Ziyang Sect. He also deliberately hid the food in Changpingcang on the orders of the Ziyang Sect.
Chuhe already knew where the grain in Changpingcang was hidden.
Moreover, Changpingcang in Zhoucheng is the largest, and the amount of millet stored in it is enough to feed millions of people for three months. The food supply in Zhoucheng is temporarily sufficient.
But this time, Master Ziyan used his corpse king clone to cause and expand the drought, and the Ziyang Sect secretly sent people to deliberately hide food, which made Chu He have speculation in his mind.
I'm afraid that the Ziyang Sect is not just planning to deal with itself this time, but is actually preparing to cause famine and turmoil, reduce the fortune of the Wei Dynasty, and even destroy the Wei Dynasty.
This made Chu He feel more murderous. The Ziyang Sect and other six major cultivation sects had opposing positions to the Wei Dynasty. It was normal to fight each other secretly, but using such underhanded methods and ignoring the life and death of the people was inconsistent with the image of the righteous sect.
Yes, it really should be killed!
After a while, a group of officials entered the hall of the governor's office and saw Chu He sitting on the throne and the governor Zhang Changsong sitting on the left seat.
All the officials saluted together and said in unison: "I see you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince!"
Chu He smiled and said: "No need to be polite! I came here to open a warehouse to release grain and help the victims. However, I just learned the news that millions of stones of grain in Changping warehouse were secretly transported away. And
It was our governor Zhang who did this."
All the officials were stunned and were about to help with a few words of defense.
At this time, Zhang Changsong stood up and came out of the queue, knelt in front of Chu He, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I was confused for a moment, please have mercy on me!"
Chu He smiled and said: "Master Zhang, if you can tell the officials involved in this matter, you can avoid death!"
When many officials heard this, their expressions suddenly changed drastically. Just as Zhang Changsong was about to speak, they all said:
"Your Highness, this matter was done by the Governor alone, and none of us knew anything about it!"
"Yes, we are in such a humble position, how can we participate in such a big event? This fact is the work of the governor alone!"
Zhang Changsong, who was temporarily controlled by the power of Chu He's mind, suddenly looked gloomy and acted with all his heart. He pointed at the officials one by one and said: "You and you, you all accepted my money. Now if something happens, don't try to shirk the responsibility."
!”
However, before he could finish speaking, Chu He tapped his dumb acupuncture point.
At this time, Chu He said with a smile: "Now let's go find food, and then open a warehouse to put food in. If someone does something carelessly, there is no guarantee that Mr. Zhang will not say anything nonsense."
Upon hearing this, all the officials felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will do our best to help the victims!"
Originally, the officials in the prefecture and city only followed the orders of the governor, and many officials were involved in the secret exchange of official grain. This matter was very involved. If all were investigated, the entire government system of the prefecture and city would be paralyzed, and it would be troublesome to provide disaster relief.
Now that Chuhe has the handle on them, who dares to do things carelessly?
After a while, the governor Zhang Changsong broke free from the control of the power of the soul and regained consciousness. He also wanted to say something to the subordinate officials, but Chu He sealed his true energy cultivation and controlled his soul, making him unable to speak even if he wanted to.
At this time, Chu He took the guards of the governor's office and a group of officials, including Zhang Changsong, to set out and found millions of stones of official grain in a large warehouse.
Zhang Changsong suddenly turned pale!
With all the witnesses and material evidence, he can't stand up!
Then, Chu He replaced the governor's confidants among the guards, directly abolished his internal skills, put him in a cell, promoted several confidants, and completely controlled the military strength of the governor's mansion.
At this time, he opened a warehouse to store grain, and asked a group of officials to sell grain at a fair price. According to the list in the household registration book, each person was limited to 10 buckets of grain.
If you are a poor person who has no money at all, you can get the money on credit and pay it back next year.
