Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 1162
Wuzhou, Henghe County.

The state animal husbandry inspection team headed all the way to Henghe County. Liang Zhaohuang was sitting on the attic on the top floor of the flying boat, but his mind and consciousness fell far behind Yuhu County.

At this time, in the northwest of Yuhu County, in the sky above the Yuan family's ancestral land, in the wind layer above thousands of feet, the wind and clouds gathered and circulated, and the Kunpeng Dharma Aspect was entrenched in it, rotating the "Kunpeng true pupil" to look down at the Yuan family. 'Uncharted'.

He could clearly see the ins and outs of Yuan Qicheng, the Patriarch of the Yuan family, entering and exiting the secret realm.

Although he couldn't see what the other party was doing in the secret realm, the fact that the other party hurried into the secret realm as soon as his inspection team left the Yuhu County area undoubtedly proved more and more that there was a ghost in it.

"It seems that we should pay more attention in the future and pay attention to the situation of the Yuan family and this secret realm."

Liang Zhaohuang looked at Yuan Qicheng coming out of the secret realm and returning to the family through the Kunpeng Dharma, and couldn't help thinking.

Afterwards, there was no more change between Yuan's family and the secret place, and the city of Henghe County was already in front of him, so Liang Zhaohuang withdrew his attention, and Dharma Apostle Kunpeng also flew back from the Gangfeng layer.

The reason why Henghe County is so named is precisely because Liuli River has a bend here, and Henghe County occupies tens of thousands of miles on both sides of this bend.

The Wangge family of Sipin County, the prefect of Henghe County, was supported by the Yang family of "Longjiang". The Shuixing resource mine is where the 300-year mining rights were originally traded between the Liang family and the Yang family.

For this reason, when Wuzhou established a tripod, the Yang family supported the Ge family to establish a family here to protect the Yang family's interests in the mining of this large resource mine.

With the support of the Yang family, after 60 years, the Ge family has also successfully won the position of governor of Henghe County.

However, the Ge family of Henghe County and the governor of Ge County have always positioned themselves clearly. Although they have the support of the Yang family behind them, they have always shown great respect and support to Liang Zhaohuang and the Liang family, without any offense. Violation of the meaning.

They are very clear that the strength of the Liang family, and even the relationship between the Liang family and the Yang family, are not something they can compare or confront.

The Bai family of Zhongjunwei's family in Henghe County is a powerful family supported by the Liang family.

The county guard and the county lieutenant led the team to meet thousands of miles away, and led Liang Zhaohuang's inspection team into the city of Henghe County.

As in the previous practice, Liang Zhaohuang first inspected the work in the county guard's mansion, then held a banquet in the county town, entertained the families of several counties in Henghe County, and finally inspected the counties in the county. .

During the whole process, he also operated the 'Five Elements' and 'Tianyantong' many times to observe the situation in Henghe County, but he also found nothing.

Afterwards, Liang Zhaohuang did not stay in Henghe County for a long time, but continued up the Liuli River and arrived at Heyuan County, the last county on the Liuli River.

The reason for this name is that this county is already half in the riverside plain and half in the Qingpeng Mountains, and is very close to the underground river where the source of the Liuli River is located, and the Qingpeng Mountains, so it is named "Heyuan". .

The Xiao family, the gatekeeper of the middle county of this county, was one of the noble family of the Xian Dynasty who followed the Liang family to the south to open up Wuzhou. The old family of the county was born in Jingzhou. Migrated here, occupied Heyuan County, and directly won the position of the county guard.

However, even though the Xiao family is a veteran county family that has been passed down for thousands of years, it has been very low-key after moving to Wuzhou, and it has always been very submissive and respectful to the Liang family in the past 60 years.

The Liang family's control over Heyuan County is only lower than the five counties controlled by the family's support and family.

In Heyuan County, as usual, they observed politics, held banquets to watch the gatekeepers in the county, and inspected the counties in the county. They also used the 'five elements' and 'Tianyantong' to observe everywhere, but there was also no gain.

Yuhu County, Henghe County, and Heyuan County, the three counties are distributed on both sides of the Liuli River, and the Liuli River is the "main artery" directly controlled by the Liang family, and its influence even radiates to both sides and among the three counties.

Every year, the Liang family's fleet will cruise the Liuli River. In the river, there are giant whales and monsters domesticated by the Liang family, as well as a lineage of dragons that cooperate with the Liang family. monitor.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that it is difficult for any enemy to hide in these three counties without being exposed.

Therefore, Liang Zhaohuang inspected the land of the three counties and found no hidden enemies, demon cultivators, etc., which is considered normal.

Among the three counties, the only suspicious place is the "secret realm" built and mastered by the "Water Ape" Yuan's family, but it cannot be found out immediately.

After inspecting the three counties along the Liuli River, Liang Zhaohuang's inspection team entered the Qingpeng Mountain Range.

In the Qingpeng Mountain Range, there are two counties, which are located in the north and south of the Qingpeng Mountain Range. They are named Nanqing County and Beipeng County respectively. The "Qingpeng City" directly controlled by the Liang family is separated in the middle. and its radiation.

Liang Zhaohuang left the three counties along the Liuli River, and the next inspection was Beipeng County in the northern area of ​​the Qingpeng Mountains.

The Wu family, the gatekeeper family of Zhongjun County in this county, was founded with the support of the "Changfeng" Liu family. Similarly, the 300-year mining rights of a large-scale resource mine traded between the Liang family and the Liu family were exactly the same. In this Beipeng County, the Wu family supported by the 'Changfeng' Liu family is precisely to protect the Liu family's resource exploitation and profit income here.

Compared with the Ge family in Henghe County, the Wu family in Beipeng County is undoubtedly much less respectful and submissive towards Liang Zhaohuang and the Liang family.

Although the Wu family did not intend to compete with the Liang family, but in their daily performance, it can be seen that they are somewhat coping.

Just like this time, when Wu Province collected taxes for the first time, the "Fish Scale Atlas" of Beipeng County submitted by the Wu family was obviously deleted and concealed.

Liang Zhaohuang hadn't even entered Beipeng County for inspections yet, and he could tell a thing or two from what he saw in the past through the "Kunpeng Faxiang" and the perspective of Kunpeng's inspections.

However, when Liang Zhaohuang's inspection team arrived near Beipeng County, the County Lieutenant Xia's family supported by the Wu family and the Liang family in Beipeng County also led the county officials thousands of miles away.

During the whole process, the Wu family also showed respect.

The 'Changfeng' Liu family is now contacting more aristocratic families, and they want to jointly write a letter requesting the central government of the Xian Dynasty to reset the 'Three Provinces'. The Liang family is also one of the objects that the Liu family contacted and wooed.

The Wu family, the prefect of Beipeng County, had obviously gotten the news a long time ago, so they acted positively.

It's just that this kind of performance is mostly superficial. Once interests are involved, such as the "fish scale album" or taxation, the Wu family, the prestige of the county, is obviously still in a state of coping.

Liang Zhaohuang didn't show anything about this on the surface. After arriving in Beipeng County, he watched the government as before, held a banquet, and then inspected the whole county.

After the inspection was over, Liang Zhaohuang took out all kinds of evidence collected during the inspection in the county guard's mansion, such as the deletion and concealment of the 'Fish Scale Atlas', the encroachment of spiritual fields and resource points in counties and counties, and even private collection Taxes and fees are basically economic issues.

It can also be seen from the greedy heart of the Wu family, the governor of Beipeng County supported by the Liu family.

On the spot, Liang Zhaohuang removed him from the position of sheriff, and promoted the Xia family supported by his family to be the temporary sheriff.

Although it is said that the officials in these counties and counties are all appointed by the imperial edict directly issued by the central government of Xianchao.

However, a family of a state also has a lot of power in the state they control, not to mention the appointment and removal of officials at will, but they also have the right to direct control.

Of course, this kind of control power also has limitations, and it cannot be used lightly or abused.

This was written into the system and laws of the Immortal Dynasty when Emperor Jinyang recruited various families to establish the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty and established the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System.

At most, in the back, for the positions of official officials in these counties and counties, the aristocratic families and the central government of the Xian Dynasty will fight openly and secretly again, all wanting to support their own people.

Just like this time, although Liang Zhaohuang dismissed the position of the Wu family's sheriff, he supported the Xia family as the acting sheriff.

But he can be sure that when this matter is reported, the Central Committee of the Immortal Dynasty will definitely not directly agree with the Xia family to win the position of sheriff, but will absolutely inevitably have some open and secret struggles for power and profit.

Liang Zhaohuang didn't care about this. Given the current situation, when the clans of various prefectures were obviously united to compete with the central government and the royal family of the Xian Dynasty, he was still very sure that he would push the Xia family to be the governor of Beipeng County.

This can be regarded as a kind of follow the trend.

Especially at this time, the 'Changfeng' Liu family will definitely not become a resistance, but will most likely become a help. It is the best time for their Liang family to support their own forces to control Beipeng County.

Naturally, he wanted to seize the opportunity to further strengthen his family's control over Wu du.

As for Liang Zhaohuang's arrangement, the former sheriff of Beipeng County and the Patriarch of the Wu family suddenly turned pale as if struck by lightning.

He seemed to have come to his senses, and immediately went out to prostrate himself on the ground, saluted Liang Zhaohuang, and said in a panic: "Lord Zhou Mu, please forgive me, the subordinates and the Wu family will never dare again, I beg you to take back your life."

Liang Zhaohuang ignored it.

The Wu Junshou bowed ten times in a row, seeing that Liang Zhaohuang still didn't move at all.

He couldn't help showing a bit of despair on his face, he raised his head to stare at Liang Zhaohuang, and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, you have to look at the owner to beat a dog. Don't you care about the face of the 'Changfeng' Liu family, a family leader of the first rank?"

"My Wu family is also an in-law family of the 'Changfeng' Liu family of the first-class family, and I was sent here by the Liu family to take care of the Liu family's resource development."

"Master State Shepherd dismissed me like this, but how will he explain to 'Changfeng' Mrs. Liu!"

"Huh!" Liang Zhaohuang snorted coldly when he saw this, and with a thought, he directly suppressed the power of the real monarch, and suppressed him again on the spot, prostrating him to the ground, and said in a deep voice, "You are also worthy of being the face of the Liu family?"

"As for how I will explain to the Liu family, you don't need to worry about it. You should think about how to explain to the Liu family yourself."

As he spoke, he turned to the Patriarch of the Xia family, and raised his voice, "Master Xia."

"The next official is here." The Patriarch of the Xia family, who had just been promoted to acting sheriff, came out of the line to bow down, and responded loudly.

Liang Zhaohuang said directly: "Beipeng County is entrusted to you to manage, is there any problem?"

"The next official will definitely do his best to live up to your lord's entrustment!"

Xia Junshou bowed in response.

Liang Zhaohuang nodded, stretched out his hand, and Dayin, the governor of Beipeng County, flew out from the waist of the Patriarch of the Wu family.

Seeing this, the patriarch of the Wu family, who was overwhelmed on the ground, showed an anxious expression, and activated the county guard's seal on the spot, mobilizing the power of humanity around him, trying to suppress and regain the seal.

"Ah!"

Liang Zhaohuang sneered, and directly moved the state animal husbandry seal to suppress the human power that had just been mobilized around him.

The seal of the sheriff flew down in front of him, and a ray of purple light shot out from the seal of the state herdsman, and the majestic power of humanity swept all around and rushed into the seal of the sheriff, directly washing away the seal of Patriarch Wu.

Afterwards, his big seal flew directly to the new Sheriff Xia who took over as Sheriff.

Xia Junshou's face was full of joy and excitement, and he saluted even more respectfully. He took the big seal with both hands, imprinted his mana and spiritual knowledge on it, and mastered the big seal of the county guard.

"Thank you sir!"

Sheriff Xia thanked him again.

On the other hand, Patriarch Wu, the former governor of the county, was completely desperate and limp on the ground.

In the Sheriff's Mansion, the other counties in Beipeng County were watching the whole process, with different faces, but at this time they all came out in unison, and first saluted Liang Zhaohuang, saying: "Master Zhou Mu is wise! "

Then he bowed to Governor Xia and said, "Congratulations to Governor Xia!"

Xia Junshou smiled and accepted the salutes and congratulations of the various prefects, and then he raised his hand and said: "You are welcome, we are all for the state shepherd, for the Liang family, for the Xian Dynasty, for the Humane service, I hope that fellow Taoists can help us a lot in the future, and together we will make this Beipeng County better and better, and the humanity will become more and more prosperous."

"Follow the orders of the county guard."

The patriarchs of the various prefectures saluted again at this time and responded in unison.

Later, Liang Zhaohuang stayed in Beipeng County for several days to provide support for Xia Junshou to take over the power of the county guard.

At the same time, he also summoned the 'Changfeng' Liu family to explain the matter.

Although he was sure that the 'Changfeng' Liu family would not turn against him for such a 'small matter', an explanation and attitude were indispensable.

Otherwise, under the provocation of those who have a heart, the 'Changfeng' Liu family may turn their faces at this critical moment, but as long as there is a grudge in the heart, there will always be an explosion later.

Even though this 'heartache' is unavoidable, Liang Zhaohuang still needs to minimize it as much as possible.

A few days later, after finishing the affairs of Beipeng County, Liang Zhaohuang's inspection team continued to move forward, this time from Beipeng County to the east, to the two counties on the plateau between Chiyan Plain and Qingpeng Mountain Range.

But in the process, Liang Zhaohuang sent Kunpeng Dharma again, also hiding in the Gangfeng layer, but this time he was targeting the Liu family in Beipeng County.

However, during his inspection in Beipeng County, he was running the 'Five Elements' and 'Tianyantong', and finally found some traces left by the magic way, but he did not find any magic cultivators and monsters.

Beipeng County is located in the Qingpeng Mountain Range. Beyond the mountain range, there is a team composed of the Liang family and the prefects of various counties in Wuzhou to patrol and defend. In the mountain range, there are also many defensive measures and guarding teams arranged by the Liang family. Two 'mountain spirits' sit and take care of them.

According to common sense, there should be no magic cultivators or monsters able to enter the Qingpeng Mountain Range, or even pass through the Qingpeng Mountain Range to sneak into Wuzhou.

Unless there is a loophole in this line of defense, and it is likely to be a human loophole.

After searching all the family members in Beipeng County, Liang Zhaohuang finally found that the Wu family was the most suspicious.

This time, he dealt with the Wu family and promoted the Xia family not only to increase his control over Beipeng County, but also to stir up the water in Beipeng County, to scare the snakes, and to see if they could make some gains. Come.
