The Taoist boy was a little puzzled. Usually when encountering such things, the real person would always want to get rid of the monster immediately. But now when he encounters such an opportunity, he hesitates. Is it because he cares more about things here?
But here, there is just a new top scholar Su Ziji, an ordinary person, how can a real person be so afraid?
But he only dared to think about these words in his heart and did not dare to ask them out like this.
Liu Zhan, on the other hand, actually hesitated to say this and frowned again.
Obviously, such an opportunity to eliminate demons is also an opportunity for demons to gather together, and it is not that easy for him to encounter.
"As soon as the demon was born, there was a backlash."
"It's just a small demon. As the years go by, the inner demons grow night after night. The Dragon Lord opens up thousands of paths, allowing the demons to follow the human path, reaching the state of transformation, overcoming the inner demons, and gaining liberation."
"Chess, medicine, and piano are just some of them. They don't do much harm. There are also ghosts, gods, demons, and imperial examinations that have penetrated into the civil society. If Long Jun hadn't perfected them, the disaster would have been far more serious than that of Yu Yao."
"The Dragon King really deserves to die, and the Dragon Girl must also be killed."
What the fortress is most afraid of is an internal breach. Over the past few hundred years, the relationship between Taoists and monsters is not just a game of running and chasing, but a relationship of infiltration and counter-infiltration into human society.
Over time, the Taoist sect's skills in finding and catching monsters have improved, but so have the monsters' ability to escape and infiltrate.
Moreover, the lifespan of monsters is very long. When the Demon King fell, he took the opportunity to kill a large number of them. It was gradually difficult to catch a large monster with a higher level of cultivation.
Just because such monsters survived, they not only had high cultivation, but also had a human identity. There were even monsters that penetrated into the upper echelons and were able to mobilize the government to encircle and suppress Taoists and destroy the mountain gate.
Take myself as an example, it is not that the Yin Guan sect wants to cling to the government, but if they don't do this, they will be surrounded and suppressed by monsters using the power of the government.
"Why do monsters have brains? Can they only fight, kill, drink blood and eat people?"
Liu Zhan laughed at himself and thought about it carefully. If he made a big fuss and let people pass, he was afraid it would mess up the situation.
It's just as usual. At this time, all the demons gathered together or colluded with the King of Qi to get rid of the Dragon Girl.
Of course, this is just a guess. Even if he has confirmed that King Qi and the monster are indeed colluding, no one can say whether they will cooperate this time or how they will cooperate when the critical moment comes.
If the demon clan had other ideas, it would not be impossible for King Qi to be kept in the dark and exploited.
So, he added: "Let them pass. We just need to send people to follow them to find out what they want to do. We have to confirm their identity in the world."
"Of course, once there is a change, involving the rise of the demon clan, we must immediately cull them."
Because Tao Tong was often exposed to all kinds of intelligence, he actually thought more carefully. He couldn't help but remind: "Master, do these monsters have other plans?"
"If they collude with King Qi and have official protection, will they still take action?"
When Liu Zhan heard this, his expression turned cold: "Even if you have official protection, you should take action."
Seeing that Daotong was still hesitant, he said angrily: "First of all, the imperial court is more hateful and suspicious of the infiltration of the demon clan than we are. After all, people who are not from our clan must have different minds."
"As long as you kill the monster, there is no serious sin."
"As for everything else, we are Taoist priests, so we should do what Taoist priests should do. Even if we are close to the King of Shu, if we really get involved in political affairs, we are seeking death."
But the Dao Sect doesn’t get involved, but the Demon Clan does. If the Demon Clan becomes powerful because of this in the future, where will our Dao Sect have a foothold?
The Taoist boy thought to himself that it was obvious that Liu Zhan's face was not very good-looking and he did not dare to tell the difference, so he hurriedly agreed in a low voice.
Liu Zhan didn't care whether a Taoist boy had changed his mind. Anyway, he was not his disciple who wanted to pass on the mantle. There were so many people in the Taoist sect, and they couldn't stop other people's thoughts.
Even if you really want to follow the dragon's technique, it's not the people below who can make the decision.
These things were all trivial to Liu Zhan. Thinking of the purpose of his transfer to Shun'an Mansion, Liu Zhan frowned again.
"Su Ziji is a noble person based on his aura, but his aura is a bit strange, but when you look deeply, it's too hazy to see clearly."
"Is it possible that he is not only noble, but also has an indescribably noble destiny?"
"Being from a poor family, being the number one scholar in a new subject is extremely expensive. He can only be granted a title of lord or duke in the future. However, although Dazheng was granted a title when he founded the country, they were all people who conquered the world together with the founding emperor of Dazheng."
"We are now in a peaceful and prosperous age. Although there are wars, they are never serious enough to cause a war. How can a minister be granted the title of lord and duke if he does not make great military achievements?"
This made Liu Zhan a little puzzled. If he was a civil servant at the top and managed well, he could only be granted a title of uncle or a noble title (which could not be hereditary). How could he be like this?
Although he had a valid position in the imperial court and had made friends with some officials, imperial envoys like Luo Pei did not know about Su Ziji's life experience, so Liu Zhan naturally did not have the channel to know.
And if no one exposes this kind of thing, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to think of it.
But even if he didn't know this, Liu Zhan said thoughtfully: "Let's not talk about this for now, Su Ziji, what are you going to do in this situation?"
Shun'an Mansion·Fuya
A group of officials who had just returned from outside were taken to the magistrate's yamen again before they could return to their seats. According to the magistrate's request, they sat in the hall and held a locust extermination meeting.
This made some officials who were already a little tired even more dissatisfied.
Of course they also know that if locusts become a force, they will have a great impact on farming. This is not a trivial matter, but haven't locusts not yet become a disaster?
Most of them are just locust eggs sitting in the ground. What's the big deal if it's one day earlier and one day later?
How can we treat them like slaves, who come and go as soon as they are called? After all, they are also people with official status. They are first taken to the farmland, reprimanded so that they cannot hold their heads up, and forced to interact with the farmers.
To keep company, do some things that are disgraceful to them.
That's it, just treat it as a show.
But after a tiring day, why can't we let them take a breath before continuing? Besides, they don't have nothing to do every day, they also have many things to be busy with in the Yamen!
However, since Qi Hongxin is the prefect, has a high rank, and is his superior, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only respond in silence, not daring to complain out loud, and just keep silent.
Just their negativity made Qi Hongxin angry.
He was sitting at the top. He had changed into official uniform. His thin dark face looked very serious. He frowned and glanced at the county officials sitting at the bottom. He was also very dissatisfied.
If he hadn't just arrived and had not cultivated a few powerful local helpers, how could he have used these wine bags and rice bags?
Of course, Qi Hongxin also knew that there were some things that these officials were not to blame. It was really difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw, but this was no reason to slack off.
