Chapter 858 Capture the Hell
The news that Zhong Changtong rushed to Luoyang, sure enough, spread quickly, because after he arrived at the sacrificial mansion, thirteen officials wrote to resign from his position. Of course, when Zhong Changtong came Before, quite a few people had resigned from their official positions. Most of these people were Taoists, that is, those who were proficient in various sacrifices. There were also some monks and alchemists among them. When they heard that Zhong Changtong was coming, they resigned in a hurry just run.

The reason why the remaining 20 people did not run away was that they were not alchemists themselves, nor did they know much about the sacrificial matter. Zhong Changtong was afraid, but he definitely had no intention of resigning. However, after Zhong Changtong arrived, they suddenly felt that they were wrong.

I was wrong, I was still too naive.

They knew that Zhong Changtong was a man who ignored ghosts and gods, but they did not expect that Zhong Changtong was a man who hated ghosts and gods at all. After he served as a servant of the priest, the first thing he did was to recruit elites, ask for armaments, recruit Things like Jingzhuang are not allowed, and it is even more impossible to ask for armaments. The officials resigned one after another, and only six people stayed with Zhong Changtong.

These officials went directly to Shangshutai, asked to resign, and wanted to impeach Zhong Changtong at Xun Yu, but they didn't see Xun Yu at all, and Xun Yu directly sent someone to agree to their request for resignation without saying anything , and drove them away. Although these people couldn't bear it in their hearts, they were afraid when they thought of Zhong Changtong's appearance in the sacrificial mansion, so they resigned from the official post with pain.

More than a dozen officials resigned, and it was the second day after Zhong Changtong took office, which naturally caused a sensation in Luoyang.

However, at this moment, Zhong Changtong was sitting calmly in the mansion, not caring about their departure at all. There were eight people sitting beside him, and these eight people were the last to stay by his side. Except for Xu Shu, there were seven other people. , Yang Lian was also here, which made Zhong Changtong very happy. He said with a smile: "I am very happy that you can stay, thank you all!"

"Don't dare!"

"Most of the people here are older than me. As expected, young people still can't understand my thoughts, and you are the ones who understand." Zhong Changtong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Most of the people who stayed were older , These people are smiling wryly now, if it weren't for the support of the family, who would want to stay, those people are still young and have no scruples, we can't do it.

"Since this is the case, then we will officially start work. The matter of recruiting manpower."

Xu Shu on the side said: "This matter is not easy to handle. With the current official system, it is impossible to recruit manpower or ask for armaments." Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Zhong Changtong remembered that he hadn't introduced it to everyone. Said: "This is my staff, called Xu Shu." Then everyone came to see him. This man is a man of understanding. Hurry up and persuade Mr. Zhongchang, don't let him have such an idea again.

Xu Shu continued: "So, it's best to contact the Gengzu Mansion. I have some friendship with Wei Yan from the Gengzu Mansion. He is from the Southern Army. I will go find him. We have one hundred soldiers, let us move around, so we don’t have to ask for ordnance anymore, and things will be easy.”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. By the way, don't recruit people from Liangzhou." Zhong Changtong said, looking at Yang Lian again, and ordered: "There is something I have to trouble Mr. Yang. "

Xu Shu came to the Gengzu Mansion, Wei Yan heard that an old friend had come, thought for a moment, but couldn't remember who it was, but now he is the Zuo Cheng of the Gengzu Mansion, no one would dare to come to lie to him, so Someone took him in. Xu Shu was taken to Wei Yan's study by a petty official. After entering the door, Wei Yan looked at it, then stood up, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Xu, why did you change your name?" , I almost let the officials drive you away!"

"Hahaha, I also forgot about this incident. Just now I was still wondering why Jun Wei neglected me so much. I thought that Jun Wei held an important position, so I looked down on my old friend."

"What are you talking about? Come on, sit down, sit down, alas, I can't afford an important position as a Zuo Cheng." Wei Yan said with some disappointment, and the two sat down and exchanged greetings for a long time, Xu Shu knew his temperament , This person has a good reputation, so he praised him, "I heard that Zhuge Pushe is very important to Wei Jun. Wait a few years, let alone Pushe, it is the position of Zhong Shuling. I think Wei Jun You can also fight for it."

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Wei Yan was overjoyed. Under Xu Shu's deliberate catering, the two chatted very happily. Gradually, Xu Shu said: "I am now working in the Jifu, and the servant of the Jifu She Zhong Changtong is He is my good friend, so I became a staff member under his command, and advised him, Zhong Changjun arrived in Luoyang, intending to use his hands and feet, but there is no manpower available, I remembered Your Excellency, so I came here."

Xu Shu didn't hide his reason for coming, and spoke truthfully.

Wei Yan frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "What's the use of manpower in this sacrificial mansion? There are not many manpower in Genzu mansion."

Xu Shu was taken aback for a moment, he knew that, to be honest, Wei Yan might not be able to help him easily, so he said slowly: "Mr. Zhong Chang heard that there are ghosts and ghosts in Sili, and there are often strange things, so I have to take it with me." Use human hands to catch ghosts and subdue demons"

"Ah?!?", Wei Yan was shocked, his face turned pale with fright, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then asked: "Is Zhong Changjun really doing this?"

"Could it be that Mr. Wei has never heard of Mr. Zhongchang?"

"Of course I've heard of it. I heard that Zhong Changjun is there. Ghosts and gods dare not approach him. Even Huang Long can only leave in a hurry. How many people does he need?"

"100 people are enough, as long as there are 100 people, there will be no ghosts and gods inside and outside Sili."

"Well, if there are 100 people, if Mr. Zhongchang wants to do something, I will transfer 100 people to him, but they can't stay in the priest's house at ordinary times."

"Okay, thank you so much, Mr. Wei!" Xu Shu stood up and bowed, but Wei Yan didn't accept it. The two chatted for a long time before Wei Yan sent him away. After Xu Shu left, Wei Yan called his subordinates to ask They prepared 100 people and talked about Mr. Zhongchang, but they didn't know that this incident caused a commotion in Gengzu's mansion.

"Have you heard? Zhong Changjun of Jifu wants to borrow 100 of us to catch ghosts?!"

"Have you heard? Mr. Zhong Chang of the Jifu is said to take 100 of us to kill the fox demon!"

"Have you heard? It is said that Zhong Changjun of the Jifu will take 100 people to occupy the underworld!!"

"Um???"

Wei Yan looked at the guards kneeling on the ground in front of him, crying and complaining that they didn't want to go to the sacrificial mansion, and he was very dazed.

After completing the matter, Xu Shu returned to the mansion. Zhong Changtong was very happy when he learned about it. After a while, Yang Lian returned to the mansion, but Zhong Changtong sent him to various places in Luoyang to investigate The temples here and so on Zhong Changtong listened carefully to Yang Lian's explanation, nodded from time to time, and said: "I didn't expect that there are so many liars in the capital, so tomorrow you go to change The soldier's mansion brings a hundred soldiers over here!"

The next day, when Yang Lian arrived at Gengzu's Mansion, Wei Yan had already prepared people, and he didn't dare to see Yang Lian. The hundred Gengzu also stood at the door in fear, and some even shed tears. Going, I don't know if they can come back, but they have no way to refuse, and they have no way to leave. If they escape, they will be treated as deserters. Many people said their final farewell to their families yesterday.

Looking at these soldiers who regarded death as home, Yang Lian couldn't help but be amazed, the soldiers of the Gengzu Mansion are really amazing.

Zhong Changjun waited at the gate of the mansion. When Yang Lian arrived with the crowd, he went to talk to several officials in Gengzuli one by one. The Gengzuli looked at him in awe, and Zhongchangjun gave an order , Everyone started to move, with that look, that posture, I don’t know if they thought it was the Southern Army. Zhong Changtong led them to a temple in the south of the city. This is a Futu Temple, and many people came in and out to offer incense.

"Come here!! Surround me with these fragrant fools!!"

"The rest of the people went in and caught all the monks inside!!" Hearing Zhong Changtong's roar, the guards were taken aback for a moment, then rushed to the civilians, surrounded them, and then looked at this The temple, which was extraordinarily luxurious just now, now looks weird everywhere, as if it really is a place of monsters. Are those monks just monsters?

The guards gritted their teeth and rushed in, and when they saw the dazed monks inside, they knocked them to the ground with one blow, and four or five people jumped on them and subdued them.

"Who are you?!" These people shouted.

Then Zhong Changtong walked into the temple slowly, looked around with disdain, lowered his head, looked at the monks, and slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist. In their terrified eyes, Zhong Changtong Tong actually killed them directly, one sword at a time, but those people were so frightened that they almost fainted, Zhong Changtong raised his head, looked at the sculptures around him, and shouted angrily: "Smash them all down!! "

"But."

"Smash it!!"

"boom!!"

After a while, the entire temple was like ruins, and nothing complete could be seen. Then Zhong Changtong looked at the civilians, gritted his teeth, and said seriously: "Everyone, I will let you off this time. If you dare to come here again, I will directly execute you, and be honest and busy with your own affairs! Don’t think about praying to the gods and worshiping the Buddha, do you understand??!"

The people nodded in horror, and were driven out by the soldiers, and Zhong Changtong led them to the next place.

The soldiers were a little terrified at first, but after smashing a few temples and Taoist temples with Zhong Changtong, they no longer had any fear in their hearts. On such a day, all the places of worship in Luoyang were given by Zhong Changtong. It was destroyed, so he dismissed the pawns and returned to the mansion gracefully, but he didn't know how much chaos his actions had caused in Luoyang.

After the guards went back, they bragged, "Mr. Zhongchang took us to kill ghosts and gods, and Mr. Zhongchang stood there, no ghosts and gods would dare to harm him."

"Then what if ghosts and gods trouble you?"

"That's right, why don't you engrave a statue of Zhong Changjun and put it at home?"

It never occurred to Zhong Changtong that one day he himself would be turned into a sculpture by others and worshiped.
