At the door of the main house, two Jiupin are standing, one on the left and one on the right.
One of them was dressed in a smart outfit, similar to that of a servant, and was obviously from the Jiang family; the other was wearing a soap coat that represented an official, and seemed to be from the government.
In the room, sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the main seat is a middle-aged man with a square face. He has three long beards, is wearing a cloud robe, a beam crown on his head, and a reserved smile on his face. This man is Qishan Jiang.
The second master of the family is also the person in charge of the family's secular affairs, and his name is "Jiang Wuye".
But sitting in the guest seat, wearing the official uniform of a county magistrate, is the magistrate of Qishan County.
"County Magistrate Li, you should not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I don't know what's important today. Please come." Jiang Wuye said with a smile.
Magistrate Li had a serious look on his face, neither humble nor overbearing, "so that Mr. Jiang will know that I am here today to ask for help from the nobles."
"Oh?" Jiang Wuye showed just the right amount of confusion.
County Magistrate Li continued: "Three days ago, the emperor sent an order to summon Zhang Zhixuan of the Taiping Sect to the palace to meet the saint. This order caused an uproar in all branches of the Taiping Sect. In recent days, several Taiping sect members have also been discovered in this county.
The believers gathered together this time to declare that Zhang Zhixuan traveled to Jiuzhou and spread benevolence. If this continues, something bad may happen."
"That's it." Jiang Wuye said noncommittally.
To put it bluntly, they were afraid of the Taiping Rebellion.
Don't say that the Taiping Sect is not rebelling now, but it is rebelling. So what does Jiang Wuye have to do with him? Is it possible that he wants to do his best for the Great Zhou Dynasty and take the lead in fighting against the Taiping Sect?
No, he will only take advantage of the war to plunder fertile land and make a wave of war fortune.
From Jiang Wuye's point of view, no matter how many people the Taiping Sect gathers, they can't do anything to the imperial court. This so-called rebellion can be wiped out by the imperial court. With those civilians who have no foundation in spiritual practice, they also want to shake the 800-year-old foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
?How can it be.
The Jiang family in Qishan only needs to defend themselves for a period of time and survive the war, and then they can make great profits.
This is not a disaster, it is clearly a good thing.
County Magistrate Li didn't seem to notice Jiang Wuye's perfunctory intention, and continued, "In order to prevent the rebels from causing trouble, I would like to ask the Jiang family to help disperse the crowd. Of course, I know that the second master
Now I am worried about the difficulty of unifying the nobles, so I will first help the second master solve the important issues on his mind, and then let the Jiang family take action."
Jiang Wuye smiled, "Does Magistrate Li know what you are talking about?"
Is it just you, the county magistrate, who can solve the most pressing issues?
But County Magistrate Li did not smile, but looked directly at Jiang Wuye calmly.
Jiang Wuye couldn't laugh anymore. He stared at County Magistrate Li and lowered his voice subconsciously, "Who is behind you?"
Of course, a county magistrate cannot solve this matter, but if there is someone higher up to give guidance behind the scenes, it will be different.
This time, Magistrate Li came to visit not to ask for help, but to lend a helping hand. Helping the Jiang family in Qishan was his real purpose.
But didn't the imperial court choose Jiang Li as their puppet?
"Second Master Jiang just needs to know that not every noble person wants to see Jiang Li rise." County Magistrate Li replied calmly.
The two sides looked at each other, and Jiang Wuye actually felt that this little county magistrate was particularly confident.
If that's the case...
It's not that we can't try to get in touch.
If there is strong support, the Qishan Jiang family will be more certain to unify and separate.
For this goal, it is not impossible to collude with the imperial court. If Jiang Li can do this kind of thing, the Jiang family of Qishan can't do it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wuye showed a warm smile, stood up and said, "Where are you talking, Magistrate Li? We were born and raised in this aristocratic family, and it is our duty to maintain the stability of this place."
"Please also ask County Magistrate Li to tell that noble man that my eldest brother will never let Jiang Li's conspiracy succeed. If there is a chance, I will tell him whether he comes or not-"
Before the last word "hui" was uttered, a red shadow came through the door, and the two ninth-grade men guarding the door simultaneously had blood marks on their necks and fell silently.
The red shadow immediately approached, and the light and shadow on his body changed, hazy, like an invisible phantom, and a black sword pierced him. A sense of life-threatening danger made Jiang Wuye dare not to be distracted.
He urged Gu Zhenqi and used Dao Fruit. His robes bulged like a sphere, and the flames surged. Even the shadow of the god general on his body took on the color of flames. Both palms came out, like hitting the waves on the river, with unparalleled palms.
The energy bursts out.
Magistrate Li, on the other hand, shook up the Grand Master's chair and jumped back. A burst of white energy emerged, and at the same time he shouted: "There is an assassin!"
The land of Yongzhou can be said to be full of martial virtues. Even if officials are not dealing with government affairs, they must take time to practice, otherwise they may be in danger one day. Magistrate Li and Ren Zihe are both in the eighth rank, but when it comes to
The on-the-spot response was better than Ren Zi and more than one chip.
As the main target of the assassination, Jiang Wuye resisted with all his strength, while Magistrate Li ran away while calling for help. Although the two had never joined forces, at this moment they cooperated tacitly and made the best response.
However--
The long sword suddenly swayed, and a shrill black light flashed past. The sword that stabbed Jiang Wuye actually shot towards Magistrate Li with black thunder, piercing through his body with lightning speed, and nailed him to the main body.
On the pillars of the house.
The white air that escaped from the ground quickly dissipated, revealing a face that couldn't believe it.
Jiang Li, on the other hand, used both palms to connect with the blazing flames. The torrential red light was eliminated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the flames were refined.
"Xiantian Yiqi?! You!"
Jiang Wuye quickly turned from attack to defense, restraining his palm power and at the same time going against the luck of his true energy. He used Jiang Li's palm power to retreat even if he was hurt.
Innate Yiqi is invincible, especially when the martial arts and Xiantian Yiqi come from the same source, let alone resist it head-on.
The four palms touched each other, and the powerful palm power suddenly surged forward. Jiang Wuye gathered his strength and was about to use it to retreat, but unexpectedly, the palm power suddenly transformed into a sinister aura when it touched, and a series of
The black energy spreads upwards along the place where the palms touch, the flesh and blood erodes wherever it passes, and the meridians are on fire.
poison!
"Bang!"
Jiang Wuye was knocked back by the force of his palm, and landed on the master's chair where he was seated. His eyes widened, and black lines spread all over his face. He was killed by the poison.
On the other side, County Magistrate Li was killed by the Yin Thunder, which destroyed his flesh and blood.
Jiang Li stretched out his hand to grab the long sword, stepped back, turned into a phantom again and walked out of the main house, passing by the servants who came after hearing the sound, and continued all the way out of the Jiang Mansion and boarded the carriage.
At this time, the carriage just happened to pass through the crowd and slowly accelerated along the street. After Jiang Li got up, the carriage left Qishan County directly and headed for the Jiang family's ancestral home.
Later, the news of the death of the second master of the Jiang family and Magistrate Li was still circulating in the Jiang Mansion. By the time it spread throughout the city, the carriage was probably almost at the ancestral home.
