Chapter 353: The situation is rolling, the five gods of plague
Strike while the iron is hot! Bu
Ling Chi in public this time undoubtedly allowed Tie Tang to establish great prestige in Qingshui City.
Take advantage of this opportunity.
He wanted to finalize the matter of the city defense formation.
So after a brief exchange with Fang Pengyi, Tie Tang took the relatively complete new formation map and reconvened the heads of the major families and a group of officials.
The hall is full of guests.
This time is different.
Except for Si Yuanlong, who was restless, everyone else was very well-behaved, and no one even gasped loudly. Bu
The Lu family asked Lu Zhengqing, the county magistrate, to serve as their representative. Lu Yuande himself was not present and always adhered to his original attitude.
"Everyone, Mr. Tie won't talk nonsense. This is the new formation route. If you are still dissatisfied, you can mention it again!"
Wow~
Tie Tang shook his hand and unfolded a seven-eight-foot scroll. Just like last time, Qingshui City was planned in four directions: east, west, north, south, with 218 red dots on its center.
There was silence in the Laiying Hall, and everyone watched silently. Regardless of whether they had any opinions or not, they did not dare to speak out at this time.
Ling Chi's power is still there, the Gou family is about to fall, the Ji family has bowed its head, and the attitude of the Yang family and the Lu family is unclear, but on the surface they are on Tie Tang's side.
In this way.Bu
The only family that dares to confront Tie Tang is the Si family!
If there is only one Si family, it is not difficult for everyone present to choose between it and the county governor.
Soon.
Officials on Tietang's side have spoken out one after another, expressing their full support and no objections.
Some third-rate and lower-rate families also began to agree. Almost half of the nearly a thousand people in the field made their choice.
Si Yuanlong was shocked and angry, and kept winking at the affiliated aristocratic families, hoping that they would take the lead in opposing them.
But things have come to this point... No one is a fool. Bu
No one dares to say whether the Si family and the Gou family will fall, but the matter of the city defense formation... is a certainty, and there cannot be enough opposition.
Several major families did not dare to speak, their eyes evaded, avoiding Si Yuanlong's gaze, just waiting for the last moment to follow the crowd.
At this moment.
A hoarse, vicissitudes of voice sounded.
"I...agree!"
Gou Hanfei closed his eyes, but made his own voice.
"Uncle Gou, why don't you think about it again?" Si Yuanlong stood up anxiously. Bu
"My nephew, the general trend is~"
At this time, the head of the Yang family also stood up, looked around at the heroes, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Gou has also nodded, I, the Yang family, will watch the wind and follow closely.
This is not a bad thing, I think you don’t need to worry too much, right?”
His attitude is very obvious, even a little too obvious, which undoubtedly makes many neutral families start to make choices.
Soon after the voices of agreement rang out, Ji Jianzhang couldn't sit still anymore, stood up helplessly, and also expressed his agreement.
Three of the four major aristocratic families have expressed their stance, and the trend has completely turned towards Tie Tang.
This is also the time for the Lu family to fulfill their promise. Bu
In addition, Lu Zhengqing originally wanted to promote this matter, so he also stood up and chanted loudly.
"On behalf of the Lu family, Mr. Lu is willing to fully support this matter!"
Boom!
The inside of Laiying Hall became completely noisy.
The major aristocratic families that have yet to express their opinions are whispering to each other and discussing.
But it won’t take long.
Everyone did not hesitate and clearly stated their position. Bu
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I am willing to do my part for Sangzi."
......
The momentum is rolling and cannot be stopped by one person.
Si Yuanlong snorted coldly, ignored the looks of Tie Tang and others, and walked away directly.
Tie Tang smiled slightly and didn't care. He just leaned over and said to He Changsheng and Qiu Zhengyang: "This guy is going to run away. The two leaders will help me keep an eye on everyone in the Si family." Bu
"Huh? Are you sure?"
"**Bi Li Shi, once this is done, they will no longer have a foothold. If they don't leave now, when will they wait? Are they left for me to kill?"
He Changsheng and Qiu Zhengyang looked at each other, nodded, and quietly disappeared into the Laiying Hall.
Everyone agreed, and Tie Tang finally felt relieved.
The formation matter had not been delayed for a long time, but he felt that the days were passing like years. Now that it was finally confirmed, it was a big stone in his heart.
Tie Tang did not leave after that, but began to consult everyone's opinions and delete some routes that were really unreasonable or involved sensitive areas of various aristocratic families.
Of course.Bu
And the most important thing.
That is the share of gold and silver produced by each house.
In line with the principle of giving money if you have money and giving efforts if you are able, how much each family contributes is entirely voluntary, and Tie Tang does not force it.
As for the approximate cost of the formation, he has already said it before, and everyone has an idea.
Everyone will pay their share according to their family status.
Tie Tang summoned Long Yu as the person in charge of collecting money and keeping accounts. His subordinates will lead the county government. All the household officials in the county government will make the account books clear and fully public to show fairness.
Long Yu was originally a child of an aristocratic family in Qingshui City, and he had a top-notch appearance that no one dared to look down upon. His status and status were just right, neither high nor low. Bu
In addition, Long Yu is also a clever, intelligent and exquisite person, who is enough to deal with many aristocratic families, so it would be best for him to handle this matter.
The Laiying Hall was handed over to Long Yu, and with Ji Yingzhe, Tie Long, Tie Hu, Tie Niu and others looking after him, Tie Tang left alone.
After leaving the county government office, he first went to the area near Si's house and found He Changsheng and Qiu Zhengyang.
"How? Have you noticed anything unusual?"
"There are indeed a lot of people coming in and out of the Si family, but I have already asked people to guard the four city gates, and there are also hidden dangers on the nearby streets.
I can tell at the slightest sign of trouble, and I can't escape him."
Qiu Zhengyang was not worried about the Si family in Qingshui City. Instead, he said seriously: "It is no small matter that Si Guangji is here in the Si family. If you want to uproot the Si family... I'm afraid it won't be easy." Bu
Si Guangji himself is the Great Perfection Witch God. He is not far from the realm of immortal gods and is extremely powerful.
Moreover, he is the General of Zhenxi in Jiangdu Prefecture. He has military power, which can be said to be a high and powerful position, and his connections cannot be ignored.
He is absolutely capable of resisting the governor Tie Tang.
"It doesn't matter."
Tie Tang waved his hand and told what he had agreed with Si Guangji before.
"As soon as the formation falls, even if he goes back on his word and wants to come back to deal with me, we still have to see whose fist is stronger.
I won’t touch the Si family for the time being these days, just keep an eye on them, wait for the formation to be completed, collect evidence, and then take action." Bu
With these words...the two of them felt confident.
Qiu Zhengyang nodded: "That's good. I will take turns guarding them with Lao He in the past few days, and we will never let any of them get away."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"What's the point of doing things within one's duties?" Qiu Zhengyang looked upright.
He Changsheng sighed: "You are capable, and you can do things that we want to do but don't dare to do, or say we can't do.
You don’t need to worry here, I will be responsible to the end.”
"Okay!" Bu
Without saying another word, Tie Tang returned to Tie Mansion and found Fang Pengyi and Fang Lexian.
Seeing the smile on his face, both of them knew that the matter was probably done, but they still couldn't help but ask questions.
"How?"
Snap!
Tie Tang clapped his hands, no longer hiding it, and said happily: "It's done!"
"That's good, that's good." Fang Lexian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fang Pengyi was more concerned about the formation route: "Is there anything wrong with the formation diagram?" Bu
"There should still be some minor modifications needed, but generally the changes won't be too big. Don't worry, seniors, it's still being registered."
"Okay, my friend should be here within two days today and tomorrow. When we join forces, we should be able to defeat him in less than three days."
"So fast?" Tie Tang was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Fang Pengyi flicked his long beard and felt a little proud: "It's not difficult for those who don't know how to do it. As long as all the necessary materials are available, the speed is still very fast."
"Senior is mighty!" Tie Tang naturally praised him without hesitation.
Then he looked at Fang Lexian: "Brother Fang, how long will it take to complete all the treasures of heaven and earth?"
A batch of materials have been transferred from the Treasure Pavilion to the Iron Mansion, but the main materials for making the Star Banner have still not arrived. Bu
To refine the star banner, you need to draw in the star power of Zhou Tian. The materials used are quite special. The most critical ones are the two main materials of ‘Meteor Iron’ and ‘Yuxu Sand’.
These two items are often used in formation formations, and the supply exceeds the demand. Fang Lexian suddenly has to mobilize so many of the two main materials, and his authority is far from enough.
In the end, Fang Pengyi came forward and took his hand before transporting it from the Fang family's Zhenbao Pavilion. It was still on the way.
"It should be here in less than two days. Just feel at ease."
"My gratitude cannot be expressed in words. If you two make requests in the future, Tie will not refuse!" Tie Tang gave a deep salute to the two of them, expressing his gratitude.
Fang Pengyi did not put on airs, but threw the favor to Fang Lexian.
"If you can draw the Thunder Expelling Curse, you have satisfied my conditions. This is what you should do, so you don't need to thank me." Bu
Without Fang Lexian to come forward, Tie Tang could not recruit a formation master like Fang Pengyi even if he painted a hundred or a thousand talismans.
Fang Lexian held up Tie Tang and pretended to be dissatisfied: "You and I are brothers. If it's just superficial, how are we different from being friends with pigs and dogs?
You don’t need to be too polite, otherwise you and I will lose our friendship.”
"That being the case...I'll just wait for the good news. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."
"Okay, I know you're busy, so go ahead."
Tie Tang is indeed very busy.
He originally thought that with his own strength and means, being a county guard would be easy for him. Bu
How difficult can it be?
In the first few days after taking office, he was still leisurely, wandering around and patrolling. Apart from worrying about the city defense formation, he didn't have much worry.
But the good times did not last long.
Chao Chenghua, the magistrate of Qingshui County who handled government affairs for him, soon couldn't stand it anymore and came over and over again to ask him to go.
Official documents were submitted to various cities under the jurisdiction of Qingshui County almost all the time. Many of them were decisions that Chao Chenghua did not dare to make and could only be approved by Tie Tang.
This means that Tie Tang can no longer be idle. At least he must finish the accumulated documents first.
Governing a county is unusual, and Tie Tang doesn't have much confidence. Bu
However, Shang Yue, the head of the Supervisory Palace who recommended him, and the Taibao of the current dynasty, had already arranged backup arrangements to allow Li Qingwan to stay here.
So at this time, Tie Tang came to Qingshui Hall in the county government office and saw Chao Chenghua and Li Qingwan sitting on one side, with mountains of official documents from various places on both sides.
"Lord Sheriff!" Chao Chenghua stood up and saluted, but was pushed down by Tie Tang.
"Coming?"
"Let me show you this~" Li Qingwan didn't even raise her head. With a wave of her hand, an official document flew into Tie Tang's hand.
"At least let me sit on my butt first to warm it up..." Tie Tang was speechless, but he still took the envelope and took out the documents inside at will.
After just one glance, his eyes lit up, and he knew why Li Qingwan handed it to him. Bu
This official document...is none other than from Yuncheng, the hometown of Tie Tang.
"Zhixian Liu is also a man of real ability. Why did you write this letter?"
He read it carefully and understood the ins and outs.
It turns out that Liu Pengfei, the county magistrate of Yuncheng, was overjoyed when he found out that Tie Tang had become the governor of Qingshui County, and he flattered her hard on the official document.
After some polite words, it’s time to get down to business.
Yuncheng has been plagued by plagues recently, killing many people. Even Liu Pengfei, the great witch of the soul, cannot find the real cause and source.
In the Yuncheng Clinic Department, there are only some ordinary works. The real Lingshi Wang Andao is still in Qingshui City at this moment, and no one can take action. Bu
After many local Xinglin experts in Yuncheng investigated it, they were helpless and could only watch the people who contracted the plague slowly die.
This kind of thing should be reported to the county.
But if it happened in normal times, or if it happened in other cities, 90% of the county magistrates would choose to suppress it and not report it.
After all, many people died in the area under his jurisdiction, so it is not a good name.
Unless something really happens and you can no longer suppress it, you will choose to report it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
However, after Liu Pengfei learned that the current county guard was Tie Tang, he no longer had the slightest scruples. He detailed the true situation in Yuncheng at this time and implored the dispatch of experts for assistance.
After Tie Tang read it, he did not get carried away because Yuncheng was his hometown, but instead asked the other two people present. Bu
"Have you two seen it?"
Chao Chenghua stood up and responded: "Sir, I have already checked it first."
"In your opinion...how should this matter be handled? Is there any mystery behind it?"
"It is impossible for an ordinary plague to stump a great witch of the soul. If even Magistrate Liu of County can't figure out the reason... then someone is probably causing trouble.
This is not a natural disaster, but a **."
"Oh?"
Tie Tang folded his hands on his chest and pondered for a moment: "I heard that there are five great plague gods in the world. If they bring disaster to the world...can the witch detect it?" Divination
"Five gods of plague?" Chao Chenghua was stunned, but he didn't expect Tie Tang to mention this.
He thought briefly and carefully answered: "The gods of plague are gods among gods, and their methods are naturally extraordinary.
Not to mention a great witch of the soul, even if he goes to the lower official level, he may not be able to find a way to solve it.
However, the five great plague gods were ordered by the Immortal Court, and they do not easily or dare to bring disasters to the human world. Why do you mention them?"
Tie Tang seemed to have recalled something and said calmly: "Because I think this matter... is caused by one of the five plague gods!"
"Isn't this...improbable?" Chao Chenghua objected in his heart, but he still showed hesitation on the surface.
Because he knows that this matter is really impossible! Bu
If the five plague gods cause trouble in the world, it will be like setting fire to themselves and will not do them any good.
There is a master in the human world today, and it is not the time three to five thousand years ago when fairies, devils and gods were allowed to cause chaos.
“You can tell if it’s true or false at a glance!”
Tie Tang didn't think too much and just asked: "Who do you think is better to send?"
