The third day after being released from the black prison.
Xu Chong was informed that his contribution had been received.
This contribution is really inconvenient.
Although it is tied to the household registration, you are not afraid of being stolen or robbed, but the household registration is not the same as the APP, and you can check the balance at any time.
How much contribution you have left is entirely up to you to remember.
If the forgetfulness is bigger, wouldn't it be a loss of blood?
Xu Chong complained while slowly climbing the stairs.
Although your contribution will not be lost, it will not accrue interest if you keep it there.
For ordinary people, it is the most cost-effective way to use the enhanced strength in time.
"Unfortunately, I am not an ordinary person, and my contribution must be exchanged for exercises that I don't use."
Xu Chong shook his head and continued to climb the stairs.
This time he was going to the Daqing arsenal to exchange the true power of Tongmai Realm.
Just as we reached the fourth floor, a captain hurriedly turned out.
Looking at the original direction, he looked like he was going to jump down directly, but when he saw Xu Chong clearly, he suddenly stopped and said: "Master Xu is here just in time, can you go down quickly?"
"Go down? Where?"
Xu Chong was stunned.
"Hell, the old man wants to see you by name."
The captain pointed in the direction of the entrance to the black prison.
"See me?"
Xu Chong thought for a while and walked towards the entrance.
Soon, he met Jiang Zhihong on the first floor.
I can only say that he is worthy of being the former censor of Zuodu...
Not only had Jiang Zhihong's shackles been removed, but the cell door of Lian Jia No. 1 Prison was still wide open.
Compared with before, the cell had more tables, chairs, benches, beds, and even a wooden shelf filled with books.
Is this the dark prison of Senhusuo?
"Come and sit."
Jiang Zhihong pointed to the seat opposite the table.
"You always look for me..."
Xu Chong approached and was stunned before he could finish his sentence.
The dishes on the table were not as sumptuous as he imagined. On the contrary, they were inferior to the extreme.
A pot of something that is neither black nor yellow, similar to porridge.
"You're right."
Jiang Zhihong served himself a bowl and said, "The bran mixed with sand and soil can be eaten and you can survive."
Gudong.
Jiang Zhihong raised his neck and drank a full bowl of 'coarse grain porridge'.
"..."
Xu Chong sat down silently, but he had no intention of trying it too.
"Not only can it survive, but it can also resist hunger."
Jiang Zhihong put down the bowl and patted his belly, "I have recalculated what you said... If it is normal food, even if it is the same as 5.5 million dan, and all of it actually goes into the stomachs of the victims,
There are still not enough people to survive, so it is right to replace the bran with sand."
"As long as you figure it out."
Xu Chong nodded, with a look of great relief on his face.
"Oh."
Jiang Zhihong sneered, "Weren't you very tough that day? Every bite was yours. Why are you called 'you' now?"
"This is just a moment and that is a moment."
Xu Chong looked calm and unafraid at all, "At that time, you were just a self-destructive walking corpse. I can't call you too much no matter how you call it."
"That's true."
Jiang Zhihong actually nodded in agreement.
"You keep looking for me. Do you have any orders?"
Xu Chong asked, "No matter what, as long as the place can do it..."
"It's not an order."
Jiang Zhihong waved his hand and said slowly: "I plan to go to Beijing."
"Going to Beijing?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
Although Jiang Zhihong is still a sinner on the surface, he can leave anytime he wants, and it has nothing to do with his strength.
Xu Chong didn't doubt this, but he didn't understand why for a while.
"Could it be..."
Xu Chong paused and asked tentatively: "Do you want to reconcile with Mr. Lou?"
"Reconciliation? Bullshit!"
Jiang Zhihong was furious. He stood up and cursed: "So what if I misunderstood him?"
"The worst case scenario is that I admit that I did something wrong. I will kowtow to him and kill him or chop him into pieces."
"But what happens after that?"
"Starting from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, all the way to joining the cabinet, and finally taking the position of chief minister."
"Forming cliques for personal gain, suppressing dissidents, and controlling government affairs... Which of these is not lawlessness, having no king and no father?"
"Reconciliation? Let's have his big dream!"
"As long as I am still alive, sooner or later the evidence of his crime will be found!"
The barrage of words seemed to be venting, but the tone and expression made Xu Chong feel that this was not aimless.
Come to think of it, you are sitting in the position of chief minister, and there are countless overt and covert struggles. How can you not at all form cliques for selfish interests and suppress dissidents?
But it’s not something I can get involved in.
Xu Chong asked: "If you are not looking for the Prime Minister, then why did you come to Beijing?"
"Didn't you say that I have never seen real hardship?"
Jiang Zhihong stroked his long beard and said, "I plan to ask your Majesty to ask for a county magistrate to see how a natural disaster is approaching."
All right.
This is indeed something a stubborn old man can do.
but……
Xu Chong frowned, "I haven't heard of any disaster happening anywhere right now?"
"Nothing at the moment."
Jiang Zhihong sighed quietly, "No matter how long it takes, natural disasters will always come."
Xu Chong's heart suddenly sank.
There is nothing wrong with saying that natural disasters will definitely come.
But the problem is, Jiang Zhihong seems to be very sure that the natural disaster will break out in the place where he is the county magistrate?
What's the meaning?
Can the imperial court predict where natural disasters will occur?
Also talk about...
This natural disaster was simply caused by the imperial court?!
Xu Chong was horrified, with an uncontrollable look of shock on his face.
He thought of the third master's collection of books.
Those two wooden shelves are full of records of natural disasters that have occurred for more than a thousand years!
"You seem scared?"
Jiang Zhihong raised his eyebrows, "What did you think of?"
"……nothing."
Xu Chongqiang calmed himself and managed a calm smile.
Jiang Zhihong stared at Xu Chong for a while, then slowly said: "No matter what you know or what you think of, I advise you not to delve into it."
"At least don't delve into it now."
"When you go to work in the capital in the future and are promoted to a noble status, someone will tell you many things."
After a pause, Jiang Zhihong added, "Otherwise, you are likely to be blinded by yourself like me, and only believe what you believe, and ultimately you will be farther and farther away from the truth."
Xu Chong didn't speak, but he did feel a little more relaxed.
Jiang Zhihong is right, he currently has too little information.
No matter how anyone or any force infers this, it is likely that they will come to a conclusion that is completely opposite to the truth.
"Good character."
Jiang Zhihong sensed Xu Chong's change and nodded appreciatively, "Then let's get back to business."
"Are you going to Beijing? Don't worry, Lord Qianhu will definitely send enough force to escort you."
Xu Chong stood up and went back to report.
But Jiang Zhihong shook his head, "You don't need any escort, you and I are enough."
"..."
Xu Chong froze and turned around bit by bit, "What did you say?"
"I said, it's enough for you and me to go on the road."
The old god Jiang Zhihong was here, "Originally, I could have left by myself, but who told me to still be guilty? There must be someone to escort me, right?"
"I……"
Xu Chong pointed at himself and said without tears: "Escort...you?"
"Well, that's right."
Jiang Zhihong nodded, "You are the one who escorted me."
"No no no."
Xu Chong sat down quickly and looked at Jiang Zhihong sincerely, "Look, although you are a sinner, you are still a being above the Tongmai. And I am only a ninth-level enlightened person. Then
Where did I get the ability and the courage to escort you?"
"No no no."
Jiang Zhihong stretched out a finger and waved it, "You are wrong about one thing."
"What?"
Xu Chong hesitated.
"Actually, I had already made a breakthrough when I left Beijing and returned to my hometown, but no one knew about it."
"Now, I am above Tongmai..."
Jiang Zhihong chuckled and pointed upward with his outstretched finger: "More on."
Above Tongmai...and above?
Does it mean it’s two realms higher than the Tongmai realm?
Xu Chong looked confused, "Then how did you act like a few days ago..."
"Looking like you're about to die?"
Jiang Zhihong finished what Xu Chong didn't dare to say, and then explained: "There are several different routes to this realm. The route I take cannot make my vitality stronger than that of Tongmai."
Well, the unused knowledge has been added again.
Xu Chong nodded numbly.
"If I intend to resist, it will be useless even if you add the entire Qianhu Office, the military station, and the government office."
Jiang Zhihong's tone was calm and did not mean any disdain, "So it doesn't matter whether there is someone or how many people are escorting me. I am looking for you because after all, I have to pretend, and I am only familiar with you."
"Okay...I can't make the decision on this. I need to ask Mr. Qianhu for instructions."
Xu Chong said with his last hope, turned around and left.
It's not that I should be wary of Jiang Zhihong.
After being in contact with him for a while, he trusted Jiang Zhihong's character. No matter what the other person's level was, he would not have any evil thoughts towards him.
But the problem is, he doesn't want to go to the capital so early.
And this time, even if you travel at full speed, it will take a month, and you will lose 4 points of spiritual energy...
Just like that, Xu Chong came out of the entrance and went directly to the fifth floor.
Then……
"What!!!"
Ge Wanshan was so frightened that he was ejected. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have crashed through the roof and flew out.
When he fell lightly, the look of horror on his face was still obvious, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
"That's it, that's it..."
Ge Wanshan supported Fang Ji and murmured for a long time before he came back to his senses and looked at Xu Chong: "There's nothing I can do about it. He wants you to accompany him to Beijing, and no one can stop him."
"All right……"
Xu Chong had already expected it. He just nodded helplessly and said nothing more.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about anything at all."
Ge Wanshan changed the subject and said, "Not only will there be no harm in taking this trip, it will also be a great good thing."
"Uh, what do you say?"
Xu Chong was puzzled, "He returned to Beijing with the intention of becoming a county magistrate, and he did not want to be reinstated."
"Having said that, after all, Mr. Jiang has been the censor of Zuodu for decades, so it's not too much to call him a leader of Qingliu."
Ge Wanshan smiled and patted Xu Chong on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Think about it, with this friendship, as long as you don't commit any major crimes or make some minor mistakes, the censors will definitely not hold you accountable.
Don't let it go, it will be of great benefit to you in the future when you become an official in Beijing."
"Is this so..."
Xu Chong nodded thoughtfully and then said, "I want to visit the arsenal before setting off."
Now I have changed to the Tongmai Kung Fu method. When I come back, I will show the first level of Tongmai and take the general flag test.
What? Are you saying I have poor qualifications?
I went to the capital and got a little bit of the emperor's aura to break through. Who dares to question it?
This is Xu Chong's plan.
"Little things."
Ge Wanshan turned his palm and took out a large seal: "Don't stay too long when you go in. It'll be fine if I guard you. I'm just afraid that Mr. Jiang won't be able to wait."
