Ye Nan entered cautiously, and Song Zheng got straight to the point: "Wang Zhihai wants to hide something, tell me everything, and I will forgive you."
At this point, how dare Ye Nan not say anything?
"It's the Yongfeng Hall of the Capital." Ye Nan said: "The imperial court collects only 20 million yuan in taxes from Baihe Town every year, but in fact the annual tolls in Baihe Town are as high as hundreds of millions of jade.
All this money fell into the hands of Yongfengtang."
Song Zheng frowned, but did not interrupt, letting Ye Nan finish.
"Businessmen don't have to pass through Baihe Town, but the journey will be much longer and the cost on the road will increase. Moreover, Yongfengtang has secretly bribed a few bandits. Anyone who takes a detour will be robbed by them."
"Yongfengtang comes from the capital. I heard that there are people from the royal family behind it, but I don't know which official it is. Bai Yongfeng, the shopkeeper of Yongfengtang, is from the Bai family of the holy monkey Guan in ancient times."
"Bai Yongfeng and Wang Zhihai had actually noticed the anomalies in Lei Ah Ba and the others for a long time, and the official had reported them many times, but they had suppressed them all. The official guessed that Bai Yongfeng intended to indulge Lei Ah Ba and let them continue to develop.
, and then involve all the locals in order to catch them all."
Song Zheng suddenly realized: "The locals and outsiders are at odds with each other. The locals have interfered with many things, which has made Bai Yongfeng dissatisfied. Now we have this opportunity to completely eradicate the locals. The most important thing is to get the land they occupy."
, it’s a huge profit.”
"That's right." Ye Nan said: "The locals own land. The land prices in Baihe Town have skyrocketed in recent years. The land occupied by the 70,000 to 80,000 locals is worth at least one billion yuan, and it can solve future problems once and for all.
, only Bai Yongfeng would take risks."
Song Zheng thought for a moment and then asked: "Master Hong was invited by Bai Yongfeng?"
"Master Hong was not invited directly by him, but he heard that Master Hong is good at fine wine. In recent days, Bai Yongfeng funded and held a 'spirit party' in the town, asking each restaurant to brew the strongest wine. Master Hong naturally
Came after hearing the news."
Song Zheng sneered.
Bai Yongfeng thought that with Master Hong's presence, he would be safe, but he didn't expect that this time he happened to encounter a terrifying evil demon, and almost fell into it himself.
He had just finished talking to Ye Nan when Shi Zhonghe reported outside: "Sir, Shopkeeper Bai of Yongfeng Hall asked for an interview. He said that you had agreed before and would see him after finishing the official business."
Song Zheng also understood at this time why Bai Yongfeng was chasing him to buy things. He wanted to use money to seal his mouth.
He waved his hand: "Let him wait."
"yes."
He asked Ye Nan to go out first, took the jade talisman and contacted Xiao Zhen, asking: "There is a kind of boxing technique that can break the void and make the sound of thunder. What kind of magical power is it?"
Xiao Zhen replied: "The Shattering God Fist, Sky-shattering Thunder Fist, and Xingsui Nine Styles can all achieve the effect you mentioned.
The Shattering Divine Fist is the secret technique of the Jingzhou Jiukong Sect, the Sky-shattering Thunder Fist comes from the Guan Bai family, a medieval family, and the Xingsui Nine Styles are inherited from the Luo Xingfeng of Bianmai Longshan."
Song Zheng sneered and told the story.
Xiao Zhen said: "There is no royal family behind Yongfeng Hall, it is just opened by the younger brother of one of your Majesty's concubines. That concubine is not favored, so you can deal with it as you like."
"Okay." Song Zheng agreed, knowing what he was doing.
He stood up and came out, already prepared to make those who despise the official weapons of the imperial court pay the price.
…
Song Zheng took Fan Shouyi away from Guixian County, and the Yanzhou Prefecture Yamen sent another magistrate to take office quickly. Song Zheng originally intended to thoroughly investigate the Yanzhou Prefecture Yamen, but he wanted to wait until the Nirvana Sect incident was over and let Han Jiujiang take action.
The newly appointed county magistrate's surname was Hou, and his name was Hou Cheng, which was the same surname as the concubine of Yanzhou Prefecture. He was worried that he would not be able to convince the old officials in the county when he took office as a new official, so he asked his brother-in-law to give him a team of personal guards and take them with him.
Rush to Guixian County.
The Nirvana Cult in Guixian County has not been completely eradicated. It is still spread in private, and the scale even exceeds Fan Shouyi's imagination.
As soon as Hou Cheng took office, some believers began to gather together secretly. Within half a day, thousands of people had gathered in Sifangping, Wuniu Township. Then they built altars and began to sacrifice to evil spirits. The leader of the incense master devoured the believers and grew into
Crazy devil.
At this time, the county government had of course received the report. If Hou Cheng had reported it immediately, the matter would not have gotten out of hand. But Hou Cheng was just a villain who relied on nepotism to rise to power. His first consideration was his own gains and losses: He had just taken office
Even if such a big thing happened, the magistrate wouldn't have to do anything.
So he decided to hide it for the time being and "find another way." This way was to send someone to ask for help from his brother-in-law, and secretly send monks to kill the mad demon.
He was also afraid that his brother-in-law would scold him, so he deliberately belittled the power of the mad demon in his letter asking for help.
After receiving the news, Huang Dazu, the governor of Yanzhou, felt that since it was not serious, he sent four of his disciples, Mingjianjing Daxiu, to Guixian County, and told them to complete the matter and come back as soon as possible.
When the four overhauls arrived at Guixian County, they had already caused a catastrophe. The mad demon had killed nearly 100,000 people in eight townships. It had become extremely powerful and was attacking the county seat.
The four great cultivators of the Mingjing Realm joined forces and were no match for this crazy demon. Instead, they became the delicacies in its mouth, further increasing its power! After eating the four major cultivators, the mad demon broke through the city defense formation and the county seat of Guixian County
Of the 300,000 people inside, 70% fell into the mouth of the mad demon and died miserably.
These are all the sins of the villain Hou Cheng!
The mad demon grew by a hundred feet, and its body was already three hundred feet high. The black energy of chaos and destruction was rising all over its body, and pus and blood flowed from its pores, and it walked towards the county town step by step.
Every step you take will leave a deep footprint on the ground. The footprints are filled with destruction and the earth is lifeless.
…
Under the barren mountain, the stubborn rocks look to the southeast.
On the special void level, the aura of destruction and chaos is very obvious. The most powerful aura has been extinguished, and Stubborn Stone can't help but regret it.
But then there was another one that was originally very weak, but suddenly it rose higher and higher, and gradually achieved its goal, and black smoke went straight into the sky.
He smiled with satisfaction: It’s not in vain that I used special means to enlighten it.
The plan of the Underworld King to destroy the evil spirits is proceeding steadily step by step.
…
Song Zheng was so angry that he almost cursed his mother!
Reports were sent from various places, and except for Baihe Town, there were no major disasters. He didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, there was a magistrate who wanted to die.
"Go to Huishan County, Yanzhou!"
The mad demon with a height of three hundred feet is attacking the city of Huishan County. The county guard Zhao Yongcheng has raised a city defense formation and is resisting hard. There are three ancestors in the city, all in the early and middle stages of Xuantong realm, and they are powerless.
Fighting against the madman, desperately seeking help.
Song Zheng and the two peak ancestors took the lead and rushed to support as fast as possible. As soon as they appeared outside the county city, they saw that the terrifying mad demon in the distance had given birth to eight spider arms, and its back was
It opened two huge bone wings, and the bone wings were connected with a disgusting flesh membrane. When it attacked the county, it opened the bone wings with a bang, and there were strange patterns on the flesh membrane, as if there were six
Ghost eyes!
Buzz
Special waves emitted from the ghost eyes, causing the city defense formation to shake rapidly. The light of the formation was shaking and might collapse at any time.
Suddenly, the mad demon noticed them, and looked at them wisely, then abandoned the county with drooling water, and jumped in the other direction, flapping his bone wings and flying into the air.
Qi Bingchen shouted: "You evil beast, where are you going!"
Just as he was about to chase after him, the mad demon jumped up into the sky again. With a muffled bang, its huge body suddenly turned into countless disgusting gray moths, which slapped dust all over the sky. Each one quickly dissipated, and then
Without a trace.
The three of them were greatly surprised. Song Zheng opened his eyes, and the Yin God was shining all over the void and the scorching sun was shining in the sky. He did not dare to use it for a long time and found no clues. He couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of escape technique is this?"
The two peak ancestors have never encountered each other before. It seems that they are the unique methods of destroying the evil spirits in the world.
Although the crisis in Huishan County has been resolved, the madman is still on the run. If he is not found, his poison will be endless.
Song Zheng didn't have time to enter the city, so he and his two ancestors began to track him down. The escape technique was miraculous, but they also had other methods. Song Zheng looked in the sky and saw that Yin Shen had reached the level of "a prophet of uncertainty", and a name came to his mind: Xi
state!
"Go to Xizhou."
They fled all the way, and as soon as they entered the boundary of Xizhou, they saw the spiritual talisman coming out of the sky, heading straight for Huzhou City.
Song Zheng took out the big seal and came out with a shout. The magic talisman circled in the air and turned around and fell into his hand. Song Zheng took a look and found that it was indeed Xizhou asking for help from Huzhou, and he found the madman in Zhiyu County.
trace.
They rushed to Zhiyu County without stopping, but by the time they arrived, the mad demon had already retreated. It ravaged four villages, killed 70,000 to 80,000 people, and headed southwest.
Song Zheng and the two peak ancestors continued to track. After more than a hundred miles, the traces of the mad demon disappeared out of thin air. He must have used that escape technique again and flew away through the air.
Qi Bingchen was so angry that he roared loudly, his spiritual energy exploded, and his fighting spirit was raging.
Song Zheng raised his hand: "Something's not quite right..."
The madman drags everyone to play like this, always in an invincible position, but this is completely different from the feeling given to him by the evil demon in the ruined world. How could the evil demon of chaos, destruction, and death become so cunning?
"Be careful." Song Zheng reminded: "This evil demon is different, I'm afraid it has ulterior motives."
He continued to track, and at the same time he quickly deduced in his mind: the ultimate goal of evil spirits is often to invade the world, just like the underworld king last time.
But they cannot invade the world directly from their own world, otherwise they will be punished by heaven. They need the existence of the world to "receive". For example, the gray fog before, such as... this crazy demon.
Song Zheng could guess the purpose, but he couldn't guess the madman's behavior.
It seems to be accumulating strength, but that special escape technique must consume a lot of money. It may have to eat more people to gain enough power to attract evil spirits.
Where will it stop and perform a ritual to break through the void to meet its master?
