After leaving Xuanting Hall, Jiang Beiran, who had planned a private visit route incognito, was thinking about who should be chosen as the "Three Virtues" and "Fayin".
First of all, Mu Yao had to be brought with him. After all, he could directly crush ordinary officials from various places with his identity as emperor. But if there was a sect or demon sect as a backer, it would be better to use Mu Yao's eldest father's name.
Deng Xianghan can also be brought with her. First of all, Jiang Beiran wants to dig out more information about Liang Guo from her, and what kind of cooperation her father has with Liang Guo, so it is good to get along with her more.
Secondly, Deng Xianghan was familiar with state affairs, and it was much better to chat with her than with Mu Yao.
After confirming the candidate, Jiang Beiran called the two of them directly in front of him as soon as he returned to the study and said: "Let Cai'er help buy some civilian clothes to change into, and come out with me later."
Mu Yao and Deng Xianghan were stunned at the same time, but they didn't ask why, they just nodded and said: "I obey the order."
At this time, Kong Qianqian, who was standing behind Jiang Beiran, winked at the senior sister and kept pointing at herself, indicating that she also wanted to go together.
But she soon noticed that the emperor slowly turned his head, so she immediately stood up straight and motionless.
After looking at Kong Qianqian, Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and said, "Go with them and change into civilian clothes."
"According to the order!"
After saying that, Kong Qianqian followed Mu Yao out in a hurry.
The main reason why Jiang Beiran decided to bring Kong Qianqian with him was that he lacked a "bait".
Since the purpose of going there is to fight against corrupt officials, fishing for law enforcement is naturally indispensable. Let's use Mu Yao as bait. After all, she is the daughter of the devil's godfather. If things get serious, killing all the local officials will not be enough to compensate.
.
Let's use Deng Xianghan. She is a princess of the former dynasty. Although the chance is very small, there is still a possibility of being recognized, so she is not suitable for bait.
Compared with them, Kong Qianqian is so suitable. Her face is almost like "Come and lie to me". Anyone who is a bad person will probably feel sorry for himself if he doesn't do something bad when he sees her.
conduct.
The efficiency of the three of them was quite good. They dressed themselves up like common people in half an hour and came to the imperial study room to report back to Jiang Beiran.
Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran pushed away the other palace maids and eunuchs, and led the three of them to the backyard.
He took out the cirrus tube and blew hard, and a white and big auspicious cloud was blown out.
"You have also seen these days that I have promulgated many new decrees, but I have to personally confirm whether these decrees are being implemented properly, so today I will take you with me to visit towns and villages, and listen to me when we get there.
Act according to the order, do you understand?"
The two people who instantly understood what was going on and the one who pretended to understand what was going on saluted at the same time.
"According to the decree."
Sitting on the auspicious cloud, the four of them quickly rose into the air and flew towards the east at extremely fast speeds.
The first stop Jiang Beiran came to is called Fengfeng County. The reason why it is called this is because this county is located at the foot of Pingdang Mountain, and Pingdang Mountain is very interesting. There are two peaks, one high and one low, with the sun hanging high on the high one.
, the clouds and mist are lingering low below, which is very magical.
Therefore, because of these magical twin peaks, the county and town were named Fengfeng County.
Since a village is built on the side of a mountain, it is inevitable that the valley will be obstructed and dangerous. The land is far away and sparsely populated. There are basically tens of miles between villages. It would take an ordinary person half a day to walk.
Deng Xianghan frowned slightly when he smelled the stench of cow dung wafting in the breeze, while the other three didn't react at all, because they had been to many such villages.
Because he needed to understand the situation in the village first, Jiang Beiran gave Mu Yao and the others a set of Minran first, so that the three of them could stop being so conspicuous.
Avoiding the cow dung all over the floor, the three of them walked into the village closest to where they landed. Along the way, Jiang Beiran found that the people here were all in ragged clothes, and it was even colder than in the palace. It was almost like this.
It can be said that wearing "ventilated clothes" with no thermal insulation effect on the body can hardly keep out the cold.
But after Jiang Beiran ascended the throne, his most important concern was the issue of food and clothing for the people. Food and cotton and linen cloth were top priorities.
Fengfeng County is located in Anxing County, and Anxing County is a relatively cold place and is an area of priority care. However, it seems that the new policy is obviously useless. The people should go bare buttocks or bare buttocks.
Looking at the surrounding houses, almost all are mud houses that have been in disrepair for many years. Some of them have even collapsed in half, but there are still people living inside.
Not only that, Jiang Beiran found that all the people were a little sluggish. It was not that their limbs were weak because they were not full, but they were lack of energy, as if they couldn't muster the energy to do anything.
While Jiang Beiran was observing the village, the other three girls were naturally looking around. Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian were okay, they had seen many such villages and helped a lot.
Deng Xianghan frowned more and more. She had been in the palace as long as she could remember. Even if she went out, she would only stay within the confines of Ningdu. She had never gone out. It could be said that she had seen all the prosperity.
Now that she suddenly saw such a dilapidated scene, it was hard for her to accept it for a while.
However, Jiang Beiran did not come to see how miserable the people at the bottom were living this time, so he quickly ignored them and walked to other places.
Jiang Beiran's pace was very fast, and he visited the entire village in a short time, and finally stood in front of a large field.
"Gan...this group of dog officials are so evil-hearted."
I saw a large field in front of me, all of which were grown with endive!
In this Black Dragon Continent, coriander is similar to opium poppy, and is one of the indispensable raw materials for making green hemp. And this green hemp is like opium, and it is almost a dead end after addiction.
'No wonder those people were so depressed just now. It seems that they are not only hungry, but also addicted to drugs...'
"Brother, what is this? Why are you staring at it like this?"
After standing at the edge of the field for a while, Kong Qianqian couldn't help but asked.
A private visit incognito? Naturally, you can't just say "I, I, I" all the time, so when Jiang Beiran set out, he said that the four of them would treat each other as brother and sister.
Hearing Kong Qianqian ask this question, Mu Yao also looked over curiously. Although she could feel that this didn't seem to be a good thing, she still couldn't remember what it was.
"Endive, green hemp is made from it."
As soon as she heard the word "green hemp", Mu Yao's expression changed drastically. She knew too many stories of families and people being destroyed by green hemp.
"This... so much!?" Looking at the endless fields covered with blue endives, Mu Yao simply didn't want to imagine how much green hemp could be made.
"Mu Yao, take these and burn them."
Without special processing, these endives would not emit addictive poisonous gas, so Jiang Beiran decided to be smart and cremate them on the spot.
"yes!"
After receiving the fire talisman and seal script handed over by Jiang Beiran, Mu Yao took one out without saying a word and activated the profound energy to light it.
"boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and a large field of coriander suddenly burst into flames.
Next to the coriander field, a bald man was drinking tea and listening to music.
The sudden violent explosion almost frightened him and caused him to fall off his chair.
Turning his head to look at the place where the explosion occurred, the bald man's heart twitched when he saw the flames blazing into the sky. If the boss knew that the coriander field was burned, he would probably be burned with him.
"Fire out! Call someone to put out the fire!"
After giving instructions to his younger brothers, the bald man immediately ran towards the burning charcoal field, intending to find out what was going on.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Several more explosions were heard in succession. Looking at the flames rising into the sky, the bald man felt that his heart was bleeding and he accelerated his pace desperately.
Finally, he came to the first field where the explosion occurred. Although the heat wave made him unable to open his eyes, he still tried to open his eyes to find out what was going on.
"I set the fire. Go and find your master."
Hearing the sound, the bald man turned around and saw a man wearing a black cloak and a bamboo hat looking straight at him.
"Who the hell are you! Do you know whose territory this is? How dare you come here and act wild!" the bald man roared.
'Sure enough, these gangsters can no longer pose a threat to me in any way.'
If it had been before, Jiang Beiran believed that when he was about to burn this field of endives, the system would have jumped to the option.
But now that the leaders of the two largest forces in Fengzhou have become his backers, it is difficult to find someone who can pose a fatal threat to him in Fengzhou, even with a very outrageous chain reaction.
'Cool!'
This made Jiang Beiran seem to have seen the prototype of his invincibility, and when the time came, he would kill whomever he wanted!
"Qianqian, go teach him a lesson."
After all, Kong Qianqian is still a cultivator in the Mysterious Realm, and he can't easily deal with an ordinary person.
"yes!"
In response, Kong Qianqian rushed forward and slapped the bald man in the face.
With a crisp "snap" sound, the bald man was knocked away directly, and his teeth kept falling down like fried beans.
"You...who are you on earth!?"
It was obvious that this slap had calmed the bald man down, and he no longer dared to use foul language, but his words were a bit leaky.
"I told you, go find your master."
"Okay! If you have the guts, I will let you know right away how much you will pay for what you have done!"
After saying the cruel words, the bald man ran away.
At this time, a group of ragged villagers were running towards us with buckets of water. Jiang Beiran glanced at them and did not stop them. Anyway, with the little water in their hands, they were trying to put out the fire ignited by the talisman.
It's just a fool's dream.
After about a cup of tea, Jiang Beiran's ears twitched and he turned to look behind him, only to see a carriage approaching at a very fast speed.
"Carriage?" Jiang Beiran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Sir! It's right there! That's the person!"
On the carriage, the bald man just now shouted.
"Xu~"
As the driver pulled the reins, the carriage stopped in front of Jiang Beiran and the others.
Opening the curtain, a middle-aged man in blue official uniform jumped out.
Looking at the burning fields of endive and sweet potato behind, a trace of sadness flashed across the official's face, but he still bowed his hands respectfully towards Jiang Beiran and said: "I don't know which sect the hero is, why he set fire to my fields in Fengfeng County."
.”
Seeing that this official was so unsure, Jiang Beiran was also a little confused.
The bald man was so arrogant to them just now. He thought this place was controlled by some decent sect, but it turned out that the master was the parent official here. He was really stunned...
'The bald man didn't realize that we are practitioners, did he? Are we really that stupid?'
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran looked at the official in front of him and said: "You also know that this is a field? Is the field used for you to plant this!"
"Please calm down. There must be a misunderstanding here. Why don't you follow me back to the government office first, and I will explain it to you slowly."
"No need to explain." After Jiang Beiran said that, he reached out and took off the black gauze hat on the official's head: "Qianqian, tie him up."
Faced with this situation, Jiang Beiran didn't bother to hide it anymore, and fast-forwarded directly to "Do you know who this man is!"
"Yes!" After Kong Qianqian said that, he pulled out a rope from the Qiankun Ring.
"Don't act nonsense! No matter how you say it, this county magistrate is an official of the imperial court. Furthermore, I have never offended you or made any enmity with you. Even if you are cultivators, you can't be so arrogant!"
At this time, Deng Xianghan, who was signaled by Jiang Beiran, took out a piece of jade seal and showed it to the county magistrate: "The person standing in front of you is the new emperor of Sheng Kingdom, why don't you kneel down!"
The county magistrate looked at Yuxi and then at Jiang Beiran. Although he had never met the emperor, he had no idea why the emperor suddenly came to his territory.
As for the jade seal... He has never seen it before the emperor, let alone the jade seal. Even if it is a fake, he can't tell it apart.
But he finally knelt down. Firstly, he didn't think anyone dared to pretend to be the emperor in front of him. Secondly, the situation was stronger than others. Now that his life was in other people's hands, naturally he could do whatever they said.
"The guilty minister Yu Chengwang is going to kowtow to the emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
"Tie it up."
After hearing Jiang Beiran's order, Kong Qianqian couldn't wait and immediately went to tie Yu Chengwang into a rice dumpling.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life, I have no choice but to do this..."
"Is someone forcing you to grow these?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, Fengfeng County is located in a remote area and there is no iron ore to make a living. I had no choice but to..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Beiran shouted, "I don't want to hear this, just watch these endives being burned."
When Jiang Beiran turned around after speaking, he realized that the people who were putting out the fire had gathered around him, and they all looked at him with disbelief.
"You...are you His Majesty the Emperor?" At this time, a young man walked out of the crowd and asked boldly.
After hearing this, Deng Xianghan said in time: "Yes, this is the emperor of our Sheng Kingdom. If you have any grievances, please feel free to tell His Majesty."
When the people heard this, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty! We can't survive this life! The county magistrate confiscated all our fields to plant endives, leaving the whole village without land. You can make the decision for us!"
"Your Majesty, my son has been in a state of confusion, confusion and stupidity since he smoked this stuff made from endive. Please save him."
"I've heard that the new emperor is willing to make decisions for our people. It turns out to be true, Your Majesty! Please save us, save us!"
