Seeing Feng Yuning's tragic situation, the officials who knew a lot about it had their eyes wandering. Faced with Xu Huizhi's persecution of Feng Yuning, they chose to remain silent.
But this cannot be blamed on them. Not everyone has the strength to resist in the face of terror.
Being silent and not doing evil or being an accomplice is already very valuable.
However, their ethics and conscience as scholars have mostly been completely forgotten.
After all, there is a big difference between scholars and ordinary people.
A person who understands things after reading a book needs to be tempered in life. When the people are ignorant, no matter whether they surrender, beg for mercy or whatever, it is excusable. Only the scholars who understand things are different. After they understand things, they still kneel down and beg for mercy.
, but also to surrender, this is "sin plus one" in terms of character.
This is also true.
However, this is also true. They are afraid of Xu Huizhi, Ji Gongzi, and naturally they will also be afraid of "Ji Ren" Wei Hao.
Because from their judgments, it is easy to get a common result. Both Ji Gongzi and Wei can kill people, and both kill people without batting an eyelid.
When the word "upright gentleman" is used to describe Wei Hao, there is always a strange sense of inconsistency.
"The eyes of Magistrate Feng."
"And his feet."
Several demon slayers quickly determined that Feng Yuning's feet had been cut off and his kneecaps had been dug out, making it extremely difficult for him to move.
Can such a person continue to be a county magistrate?
What's more, he has no eyes and can't see the official document clearly. I'm afraid he can't even stamp it, right?
There are many people with various thoughts, but when the thoughts suddenly arise, after seeing Wei Xiangxiang, all thoughts and thoughts are extinguished.
"Hey, I'm going to take a bath in a hot spring when I'm done here."
Wei Hao looked at the attitude of the local officials and was very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.
"Wei Jun, there are hundreds of thousands of mouths in the city now. Could it be that Wei Jun has a way to convert food into rations?"
The old sheep spirit didn't know how the city raised food and grass before. Of course, if it knew, it would probably make its back numb.
"This matter is not a big problem. The princess of "Dajiang Longshen Mansion" is a rich woman. I have a close friendship with her, so borrowing food will not be a problem."
Wei Hao pointed to the fields outside the city again, "Even though Wuquan County is a mountainous area, it's not comparable to anyone. Although this field is very ordinary in Hanshui, in the north, it is already considered a pretty good irrigated land."
"As long as spring plowing is not delayed, it can be slowed down in one season. Elephant is right about this."
Feng Yuning is proficient in practical matters, similar to Wang Fubo, except that Wang Fubo is better at civil engineering, digging ditches, building walls and other projects, and he is very good at it.
Feng Yuning, on the other hand, has made great achievements in encouraging students to teach farmers and cultivate mulberry trees.
Breaking a big problem into many small problems and then tackling them one by one is the basic ability of a person who is proficient in practical matters.
If we break down the hundreds of thousands of mouths in the city, it will be a short-term food problem and a long-term food problem.
At this time, we basically only need to consider food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The rest of the issues are secondary and can be put aside for a while.
The problem of eating in the short term is how to get food. It doesn't matter whether you have birds, animals, plants, flowers, or if you can stuff it into your mouth and eat it without killing people, that's fine.
In addition, it is to borrow grain from the next county, the next door county, the same year as an official in a foreign country, and the rich and distinguished people who used to have nothing to lose can use it at this time...
As long as Wei Hao can get it from the pockets of ghosts and gods, it's no big deal.
"Let's first stabilize the people's sentiments."
Feng Yuning didn't hesitate and started giving orders when he arrived at the county government office.
The rural people who were in the various fences on the East and West Streets were already depressed at this time. Suddenly, they were a little frightened when they heard that Feng Yuning had regained the power of Wuquan County Magistrate.
If it weren't for the fear of the rampant monsters outside the city, there would be many people who would consider returning home.
Riding an argali that looks like a giant elephant, Feng Yuning brought a strong sense of mystery to the officials and people in the city, which also made Feng Yuning more powerful and made the two teams of county officials even more humble and submissive.
When Wei Hao saw this, he simply stopped standing guard for Feng Yuning and instead went to various suspicious places in the city to inquire about the situation.
"Judging from the number of people in the city, there is no particularly sharp decrease."
Rubbing his chin,
Wei Hao frowned slightly. He originally thought that there would be human trafficking, but now it seems that most of them should be involved in blood sacrifices.
The human trade he speculated was not a business involving Yaxing, but someone cooperating with spirits.
On the one hand, the poor people are brought out, while on the other hand, the weaklings are sold.
This is more reasonable.
It must be understood that if they are not truly wealthy, most spirits will reach a bottleneck in their cultivation and will not be able to resist the attraction of human energy and blood.
Taking over the creation of heaven and earth, the greatest creation in heaven and earth is the birth of "human world".
But now a large number of weak fairies have become food, and there are no demon slayers with any achievements. It is basically certain that there are ruthless characters among the fairies who specialize in this kind of business and then make profits.
What fairies can do, humans usually do even more outrageously and are extremely covert.
However, Wei Hao inspected the whole city and found no possible place.
"Strange, if this is the case, could it be that the spirits are doing charity and sacrificing themselves for others?"
There may be such things, but it's unlikely to be so many.
"Although Mr. Ji is arrogant, he is not reckless. He just lacks some experience in the world."
Wei Hao reorganized the problem, "I'm afraid the problem still lies with this young master."
Wuquan County did not have much decent combat power before, which was a good thing for Wei Hao; but after the situation changed, for Wei Hao, what was originally a good thing also turned into a bad thing.
"I hope the bears from east to west and the cats from north to south can come faster."
Wei Hao had already rescued all the evil spirits that still existed in the city, but the safer it looked, the more certain he was that his son, Xu Huizhi, must have prepared backup plans in case the county town changed hands.
After scaring off the black pigs, at least the city's national destiny has been preserved. So no matter how you look at it, Wuquan County should not have much of a problem in fending off monsters and monsters.
In addition, Feng Yuning is still the county magistrate, so the "Qiankun Throw" is no joke. There is no special geographical environment like the East China Sea nearby, where hundreds of thousands or millions of troops can be hidden and invisible.
As long as the "Throw of the Universe" is not abolished, in a place like this, it is equivalent to one man blocking the barrier and ten thousand others unable to open it.
However, Wei Hao was sure that he must have omitted something, as if there was something he hadn't thought of.
"The enemy is divided into internal enemies and external enemies. External enemies are protecting the city and the country's destiny. No, wait."
Wei Hao's eyes lit up, "I have entered into a misunderstanding. Even if it is a foreign enemy, it is not impossible to ignore the national destiny of protecting the city."...
There is a very simple way, that is, "recruitment". With the approval of the king of the capital, this is not difficult to do.
Because Wei Hao himself had done similar things, if the "Emperor's Certificate" was thrown out, it would at least be easy to use in the underworld.
Wei Hao had always made the most malicious speculations about the rulers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Wei Hao returned to the county government office, looked for Wuquan County Lord Bo and other officials, and then began to inquire.
"Are there a large number of people around Wuquan County?"
Wei Hao stared at the officials, carefully examining their movements and eyes.
"Elephants and bandits nearby, I have wiped them out very early."
"No! Magistrate Feng, this is not a matter of bandits."
Interrupting Feng Yuning's words, Wei Hao said, "There are several things here that should make the mastermind behind the scenes quite miscalculated. First, the blood sacrifice was interrupted; second, Magistrate Feng is still alive; third, Wuquan County has not changed hands; fourth, I succeeded
Got rid of the inner demon of the pig god; five, lost a valuable treasure.
Wei Hao didn't say what the heavy treasure was.
If Wei Hao said "rootless water", there is no guarantee that there is an evil spirit here.
Wuquan County Governor Bo and officials at all levels, after careful consideration, finally said: "The "green forest" deep in this county, if we talk about a large number of people, they should be the heroes walking in the "green forest". Most of them form cliques and are proficient in
With martial arts skills, you can move in the mountains and you won’t be afraid of big monsters.”
"There is also Qiu Tianxia from Wubao County. He originally had a helper, but later he started his own business and separated from Qiu Tianxia. One went east and the other went west."
Qiu Tianxia?
Wei Hao had an impression of this man. When he passed through Wubao County, he coerced the troops to attack Wubao County. The defender was Ren Xingkong, the "Tiebi Tanhua", and his son Ren Lan. Wei Hao had met him this time in Yueyang Mansion.
.
"Well
That makes more sense."
"Elephant, what do you mean?"
Wei Hao then said: "Now the soldiers in Wuquan County are weak, and two officials from hundreds of households fell into evil ways and were killed. Protecting the city and national luck can stop evil spirits, but it cannot stop the imperial officials. You must know that those who recruit troops from various places today are not the original ones.
To be noble means to be in charge of a party. Because at this moment, supporting the troops and respecting oneself is not a rebellion. It can be done with a little background and just serve the country wholeheartedly."
After hearing this, Feng Yuning also understood: "What the elephant means is that maybe it's not the demons that are suppressing the situation, but human soldiers and horses?"
"good."
Wei Hao nodded and asked Feng Yuning directly, "Why doesn't Magistrate Feng think about it? If it is a monster, it can be resisted by protecting the city and national luck. But if there are "green forest heroes" holding "recruitment" documents, they will form groups to fight against the monsters.
We rushed into the city in name, but there were not many capable soldiers in the city."
"this"
"and"
Click!!
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and Wei Hao followed the sound and saw dark clouds rolling in in the sky. He didn't know when.
The clouds were rolling and changing, and among them, a huge human face actually appeared.
Wei Hao took a closer look and knew that a ruthless character was coming.
It’s Xianyun again!
"Wei Hao! Hand over the 'rootless water' -"
The loud shout was so terrifying that it made the people in the city tremble.
When Wei Hao saw this, he was overjoyed and said: "Originally I only knew it was a valuable treasure, but now looking at the market, I probably know what kind of treasure this 'rootless water' is. It's not a loss, it's not a loss, this trip is not a loss at all."
…
"Elephant, what on earth is this"
Hearing Feng Yuning's doubts, Wei Hao simply didn't hide it and said with a smile: "I was in the underworld and heard that the evil master of the country had a way to create a sacred artifact."
"Um?!"
"County Magistrate Feng, please be patient and listen to me slowly."
The huge human face in the sky had a very ferocious expression. Every roar made Wuquan County tremble.
But Wei Hao didn't take it to heart at all, and still calmly said in the county government, "County Magistrate Feng, this "Sheji Divine Artifact" is quite famous, not to mention the magical means, just one thing, with the 'Sheji Divine Artifact,'
, if you establish a feudal state, you can quickly accumulate resources. Whether they are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, or even yin and yang, they can all be used.
"When I was studying in my early years, I heard about using the "sacred weapon of the country" to suppress the national destiny. After I passed the imperial examination, I actually saw it."
"That is the 'important weapon of the country' and a relatively special 'artifact of the country'. Magistrate Feng, for many small and weak tribes, there is no need to be so sophisticated and powerful when they start. If it can provide food, grass and water, it is already a supreme artifact."
After Wei Hao finished speaking, he continued, "Just like this 'rootless water', as long as it is used properly, it can be used to create a spring in the human world. It is like the graveyard of the dragon clan in the underworld, which is called 'Longyuan'. If it is moved to the Yang world, it will be a spring."
It is a supreme treasure.”
"Listen to what the elephant is saying, isn't that 'rootless water' extremely important?"
"I think it is the capital of the black pig, but it is not obtained by the black pig's own practice. If it is gone, if you want to establish a country, you have to follow the steps. But there are not many conveniences. It is difficult to gather soldiers and horses.
It’s getting harder and harder.”
When a large army travels, people eat a lot of horse chews in one day.
Let’s not talk about food, but having to drink a sip of clean water for tens of thousands of people every day is a mind-numbing thing.
However, "rootless water" has a unique characteristic. It can act as a spring, attract rainwater, spring water, and stream water, and then purify it, so that the water problem can be easily solved.
A cultivator with vast supernatural powers and boundless magical power would naturally not care about drinking in one sip.
But for large armies traveling, this is extremely important.
"The one outside who is shouting in the sky says 'water without roots' when he opens his mouth. This shows that it is really important."
Wei Hao smiled and said, "However, it is precisely because of this that the other party is afraid to make trouble directly. Otherwise, if I bring the 'Rootless Water' to slap the person on the butt, regardless of this
Where can they go to explain the market situation in Wuquan County? Haha."
"
"
Wei Hao said it easily, but Feng Yuning was not stupid, so he asked: "An elephant must be invincible when dealing with ghosts and gods."
"I'm afraid it's not just ghosts and gods."
After saying that, Wei Hao stepped out, looked up, and saw a star twinkling above the face of the dark cloud. After seeing it, Wei Hao immediately smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
"Don't pretend to be a fool. If you want 'water without roots, you have to rely on your true skills.'"
"Wei Hao!! How dare you show up -"
"Hey, it's you who's calling for me; it's you who's still making noise after I show up. Why do you want me to obediently offer you the 'rootless water'?"
“You better do it”
"Hahahahahaha."
Wei Hao suddenly laughed and raised his finger to point at the sky, "You'd better look up and look!"
