Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 169
"Water Dragon Bodhisattva is actually Lord Dajiang Longjun!" Salamander finally said it.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei quickly shook his head and said, "This is impossible, Suicune has his own beliefs, so there is no need for him to pretend to be other gods!"

Zhang Wei's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. The position of Dajiang Shuijun is very important. In order to keep this position, Ao Li fell out with his hometown, the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea.

If he seeks some kind of water dragon bodhisattva, then the great gods in the world will definitely not agree, and may directly impeach him and ask him to give up the position of water king.

It is impossible for Ao Li to lose watermelon for sesame seeds.The location of Dajiang Shuijun is really important. The place covered by the water system is the most prosperous and most populous area in Daqian. There are tens of millions of people here, and the annual contribution of incense is huge.

Not to mention the incenses collected by myself, there are also the sacrifices of the imperial court. The sacrifices of the imperial court are to redistribute the incenses across the country, and the Dajiang water system also accounts for a large part!

The incense of the imperial court can be understood as the central finance, and the incense collected by oneself can be understood as the local finance.No matter how much local finance is, it is not as much as the central finance!

Having figured this out, Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "This is impossible."

Salamander sneered, "Maybe it's impossible, that's the fact. This is a compromise between him and Jinshan Temple. Hasn't Buddhism done many such things?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei was not sure again.Because Buddhism has really absorbed many immortals.

Zhang Wei thought for a while, but was still a little unsure.

At this time, the voice of the Li family suddenly came from the door: "Master Zhang, someone is looking for you."

Zhang Wei couldn't think of an ugly Yinmao, so he could only glance at the salamander, and then walked out of the water prison.

When they came outside, a low-key sedan chair was parked in the yard, and Li Tan was waiting beside the sedan chair.

Seeing Zhang Wei approaching, Li Tan hurried over and said, "Master Xian Zundi has arrived."

Zhang Wei nodded and walked up.

Beside the sedan chair, there was a young man with his hands behind his back, looking at the surrounding environment.Beside him was Yan Caiguan who was carrying a long bow and sword.

Li Tan immediately introduced: "Brother Zhang, this is the county honorable Di Guang."

Zhang Wei immediately cupped his hands and said, "Eshan Zhang Wei, I have met Master Di!"

The county official named Di Guang bowed his hands to him, then looked Zhang Wei up and down and said, "I've heard about Zhang Xiucai's name for a long time, but seeing him today is really not as famous as seeing him."

"Your Excellency is ridiculous!" Zhang Wei said politely.

The two exchanged pleasantries, then walked into the room and started talking.

Di Guang from Gaotang County was also a floating official.But his family is a well-known big family in Jinyang Mansion.Three years ago, he brought Officer Yancai to take up his post. During these three years, he was a low-key official and seldom took charge of affairs. In these few years, he was called the "no matter county magistrate" by the local people.

But Di Guang came from a wealthy family, and Zhang Wei didn't believe that he was really the kind of person who would eat and wait to die. If he was that kind of person, why would he come all the way here to take up the post?

Zhang Wei and Di Guang sat down, while Yan Caiguan and Li Tan stood on both sides and listened.

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "I heard that Master Di has been resting and recuperating since he came to Gaotang County, and he didn't make any big moves."

Di Guang laughed and said, "What is rest and recuperation? If you say it so implicitly, just say that I haven't done anything!"

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "There are records in the Spring and Autumn Period that Daxian didn't fly for three years, soared into the sky, didn't sing for three years, and became a blockbuster! In my opinion, the lord is just like this."

Di Guang smiled, but did not answer Zhang Wei's words, but asked, "You also cured "Spring and Autumn"?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Exactly."

Di Guang's face became softer again, and he said: "Chunqiu speaks in a subtle way, and the pages are grand, and there are not many people who dare to rule the Spring and Autumn Period, and who can rule the Spring and Autumn Period."

Zhang Wei blushed, this is the original body's memory, the original body's memory is very good, reading is really good.

"It's going to be Qiu Wei in a few months, do you plan to take the exam?" Di Guang continued.

"Still thinking about it." Zhang Wei said vaguely.To be honest, even with the memory of the original body, he still has no confidence.But you can also try it.

There is no conflict between the examination of merit and practice, and many great monks are academicians.It's just that he has the status of a heavenly official and cannot be a yang official.It is also possible to only test for merit and not be an official.

Di Guang looked at Zhang Wei's young age and didn't say much.The two chatted for a while, and finally got down to business.

First, Zhang Wei said: "My lord, the big households in Gaotang County and Jinshan Temple have colluded together like an iron bucket. If you haven't done anything for three years, you must be held back by them."

Di Guang nodded slightly. As a low-level official, the most difficult thing for them to deal with was the collusion of local forces, which made him unable to perform.

"I know that when you first took office, you used to be good at attacking the incense master. But if you don't die after beating a snake, there will be endless troubles. You still haven't been able to open the situation."

Di Guang nodded and said: "At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I really wanted to go head-to-head, but I didn't have any foundation here, so I still failed. The big families here are not scary, and Jinshan Temple is not scary, but the two are combined. Terrible."

The big family controls the population, the Jinshan Temple controls the faith, and the dual control of the mind and body really makes Di Guang like a dog holding a hedgehog, with nowhere to go.

Zhang Wei said at this time: "But it's different now. After three years, I guess the county lord has a certain foundation. This time, I think we should use the Xiangzhu Association as the starting point!"

Di Guang didn't speak, he knew that Zhang Wei had more to say.

Sure enough, Zhang Wei said: "Last night, two goblins from the Fragrance Master's Association led goblin soldiers and gangsters to attack the Li family's manor, and they were also captured by us. This is the opening!"

Di Guang glanced at him and said, "Two goblins, you can't shake the Fragrance Lord Association."

Zhang Wei shook his head and said: "On the contrary, I think this is the best opportunity. The Lord of Xiangxiang will do all kinds of evil, especially abducting women and children. This is something that cannot be tolerated. If we don't fight other things, we will fight against abduction." Women and children!"

Di Guang was taken aback for a moment, he was a smart man, and immediately began to think.And Zhang Wei continued: "Mobilize the people, they may not care about other things, but this is related to their children and grandchildren, daughters-in-law, women and children, they must not bear it!"

The 'yellow' people can tolerate it, because they have their own needs. "Gambling" people can also tolerate it, because there are many poor people who have no money to gamble.

"Loan" people can still bear it, because the poor can't get money.But the people who are "abducted" can't bear it anymore, because they are the direct victims. The children and wives of rich families are not easy to be abducted, and the most injured are the common people.

Zhang Wei's words made Di Guang suddenly enlightened.He immediately said: "I understand, I will immediately start attacking the Xiangzhu Association."

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Don't attack too hard. To mobilize the masses, first of all, we must investigate those families with missing girls, and bring those families with missing family members from outside the city to the city. Start to slowly sweep away the stronghold of the Incense Lord Association."

He paused and continued: "Those who force women into prostitution, those who violently collect debts, and those who have been gambling for a long time, you list them as 'missing persons' and raid them under the pretext of cracking down on kidnapping!"

Hearing this, Di Guang's eyes widened.He has never thought of this kind of operation!At this time, the government, because it has the strongest power, does things directly and rudely, where there are so many thoughts and enemies to take their time.

It's like solving the matter of Pujia Village, first arrest it and then talk about it!What if I got it wrong?Who dares to sue this official?
Zhang Wei continued to talk eloquently: "In this way, it will weaken the vigilance of other incense masters, and it can fully mobilize the anger of the people. The bigger this matter is, the greater the confidence of the people, and the more we can win." .”

"Now, it depends on whether you have the ability and courage to do this."

Di Guang had already closed his eyes at this moment, he thought carefully for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "Then do it!"

Hiding here for three years, Di Guang didn't just eat for nothing. He also secretly recruited some people to work under his friend Yan Caiguan.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "If your lord needs it, I can bring you some Jinhua sailors."

Di Guang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "That's unnecessary. If it's really necessary, I can find a way."

Good guy, this Jinhua navy seems to be able to mobilize anyone!

The two chatted again and went to work separately.

The next day, a person stumbled from outside the city.He went directly to the gate of the government office, and beat the drum of grievances without saying a word.

Di Guang, who had already put on his official uniform, heard this voice and suddenly asked, "What happened outside the door? Such a commotion?"

The guard guarding the gate immediately said: "Report to my lord, someone is beating the drum of grievance!"

Di Guang laughed and said, "Okay! Follow me to the hall!"

Soon, the yamen servants on duty lined up in two rows, shouting 'Wei~wu~', and a man who looked like a little old man was brought up.

The little old man knelt down towards Di Guang and shouted: "I beg the master to make the decision for me. My little girl has a beautiful name and is thirteen years old. She is pretty and pretty. Yesterday, she was taken away by two big men." !"

The yamen servant in the hall almost laughed out loud when he heard this.At this time, the person kneeling under the hall is no one else, but a helper.He has three sons, and he is as worried as a little old man because of his son's gift money.

But he always wanted a daughter in his dreams.

Di Guang in the hall said: "There is such a time? Do you have any traces of the thief?"

"Yes! My lord, I have it! I'll take you right away!" The little old man finished his last lines.

"Okay! Chief Yan listens to the order, and immediately gathers people and horses to arrest the suspect!" Di Guang said.

At this time, in the stronghold of the Original Incense Master Association, several people tremblingly looked at Zhang Wei and the others. These trembling people were the thieves who abducted 'Xiuxiu'.

Soon, a voice came from the door, saying, "Captor Yan has brought someone here."

Yan Butou not only brought people here, but also brought a group of people here.Many acolytes agitated the common people on the street, constantly talking about cracking down on kidnappers.Some outraged people also followed.

Zhang Wei led people away, and then Guan Yancai rushed in with people. After a "hard fight", he finally took down the culprits and rescued many girls.

Immediately, the little old man present shouted loudly: "Xiuxiu! Is Xiuxiu you?"

One of the girls suddenly raised his head and shouted in a very 'surprised' voice: "Daddy, is that you, Daddy?"

This girl was the one who followed Mo Qingyou at first, her nickname happened to be Xiuxiu, but her father was gone.

Those present witnessed a father-daughter recognition, and the touching trick earned enough tears.

At this time, an accident occurred.

Suddenly another voice came from the crowd: "Ninny! Is it nannie?"

A little girl among those girls was stunned when she heard the voice. She immediately looked up, and a man pushed through the crowd and rushed over frantically.

"Father...! Daddy!" The little girl burst into tears and rushed up to hug the man.

Those who knew the truth looked at each other in blank dismay, which one is this?
Li Gui met Li Kui?

The spectators looked at the father and daughter who were hugging and crying. This was true and sincere, and it infected everyone at once.

At this time, Officer Yancai said loudly: "Okay, take them all away and hand them over to the Elder Master."

Everyone followed these people and returned to the county government office again.

Officer Yancai told Di Guang what had just happened in a low voice, Di Guang was slightly taken aback, unexpectedly there was really a sufferer among them.

In this era, for poor people, if a child is abducted, it is really gone.They don't have the ability or the energy to find someone, and it is almost impossible for them to find a child from a thousand miles away.

But here, he could actually meet a suffering master!Di Guang was in a complicated mood, but he immediately calmed down and started the trial.

The people kneeling below were very cooperative. They knew what to say and how to say it.Soon, Di Guang picked up the gavel and said, "It's unreasonable. This incense master will abduct children. Heaven will not allow it. I am speaking here, and I will not tolerate abduction! I will do my best to arrest the thieves who abduct children!"

The people at the scene were all excited. The abduction of children in Gaotang County was extremely serious. Nine out of ten families had children and women missing.The people of Gaotang have been abducted for a long time!
Di Guang's high-profile statement today finally gave them some confidence.

In the following time, Yancai officials led the yamen servants and began to sweep against the stronghold of the Xiangzhu Association in the county, but this time, they only swept away the kidnapper's stronghold.

At this time, Zhang Wei was meeting an important person with Ming Xiu and Mo Qingyou.

Gaotang County Town God - Chen Bosheng.

Mingxiu set up a bridge for this meeting. Ever since she knew that Zhang Wei didn't plan to make an unannounced visit, Mingxiu also expressed that she had a direct showdown.He immediately contacted Chen Baisheng, the city god of Gaotang County.

Today, in a big family's home.Zhang Wei, Mo Qingyou and Mingxiu saw this City God.

Chen Bosheng was an old man. He saluted the three of them and said, "The three heavenly officials have come, but for the pardon of the local officials?"

Mingxiu nodded and said, "It's good that you know. We've been here for a few days and found that you have a serious problem here."

The city god sighed and said: "There is Jinshan Temple in this land, so there is no problem? These monks are overbearing, and they border on the territory of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I am a city god, and I am not easy to be a city god!"

　The Spring and Autumn Period here refers to the "Five Thousand Words of Spring and Autumn" in this world. It is a book similar to the Spring and Autumn Annals in this world, but each generation will repair the seal script. There are many volumes, and it is a large tome.

　　Hope you don't get confused.

　　It's gone today too.
