I am the Dragon King of the Well

Chapter 427 Retreat!retreat!retreat!

As Jing Xinghuai opened the "vision hanging", he started from Haiping Mansion and continued to rectify it.

He first ransacked the house and then found evidence. No local powerful person involved in water transportation could escape his capture.

However, he also knew that he couldn't kill everyone with one shot.

Although he had evidence that everyone violated laws and disciplines, he only targeted the forces involved in water transport exploitation.

Although some people had done extremely bad things, Jing Xinghuai was too lazy to attack them now. He just copied all the evidence of their crimes and let the court interrogate them after the matter was over.

These local tycoons who have been able to accumulate such wealth basically have no clean bottoms.

It’s just a matter of how many bad things are done.

Under Jing Xinghuai's drastic measures, he captured more than six powerful forces, large and small, in the entire prefectures and counties along the Cao River in Qingzhou.

He mainly attacks the leading forces, and temporarily lets others go.

Every day he would write a document and report all the details of the situation here to the emperor.

Now he is criticized countless times every day, and he uses the Emperor's Sword to mobilize the navy, and then uses the proceeds from confiscating homes to pay military salaries.

Although he was trusted by the emperor, this kind of thing was already a matter of military and political affairs, and was very taboo in the court. If someone was ambitious, he would not be able to directly separate the government and cause chaos.

All his rights now come from the emperor. As a lonely minister, if the emperor becomes suspicious of him, all his efforts will be in vain.

Unless he really chooses to separate sides.

Jing Xinghuai felt the urgency of the matter and wished he could separate his family background to handle official duties. Now he almost slept for only two hours a day.

Even because he urged the navy officers and soldiers to hurry up for days, there were complaints in the army.

If he hadn't relied on the heavy reward, those soldiers would have given up their work long ago.

……

"Thorn."

Outside the courtyard wall, the body of a man in black suddenly split into two parts, and the pungent smell of blood quickly spread.

"I came out to clean the floor, and another one died."

Qiu Ping yawned. In the past few days, assassins had attacked and killed Jing Xinghuai almost every day.

But they obviously didn't remember to hit, and they hit here one after another.

The Zhenfusi guards stationed on both sides expertly dragged down the two corpses. These A- and B-class warriors who looked majestic outside could not even climb over the courtyard wall here.

"Life is really lonely like snow."

Qiu Ping put his hands behind his back and sighed softly.

"Boom."

Just when he was secretly groaning in his heart, he suddenly heard a thunder explosion, and a bolt of thunder flew across the sky, lighting up the night thousands of miles away.

"Boom boom boom."

The thunder never stops and the roar continues.

The sky was gloomy, with clouds gathering, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

However, Qiu Ping's eyes were like lightning, and he noticed that there were countless heavenly soldiers in white armor floating above the clouds.

The leader was a dark-faced god with a beard.

Qiu Ping was overjoyed when he saw it.

Isn't it a coincidence? I happened to be talking to a good brother from the Lei Department about something.

He immediately swayed and appeared directly above the clouds.

Cao Wuyang was frowning, preparing to instruct everyone to release thunder to calm the grievances of the world.

I don’t know what happened recently, but the grievances in the Qingzhou area have accumulated for Lao Gao, and Yushu Yuan specially issued a decree to let them clean up quickly.

But suddenly, a small figure suddenly appeared next to him, startling him.

He thought the enemy was attacking him, but he almost didn't hit him with an iron whip.

After seeing the little black face clearly, his big black face suddenly became darker.

What is this kid.

"General Cao, long time no see."

Qiu Ping greeted him very warmly.

"What are you doing?"

Cao Wuyang glanced at Qiu Ping, but he was secretly shocked. He hadn't seen him for a long time, but this kid turned into an immortal.

Moreover, the vague intimidating power conveyed by it actually made him feel frightened.

"That's it. I want to ask to see Lord Changyang. I wonder if I can do it for you?"

Qiu Ping's face showed a trace of embarrassment. He now has a very grand plan and wants to take Changyang Jun with him.

Then everyone will make a fortune together.

"No time, you can go."

Cao Wuyang didn't even look at the little loach and pointed his nostrils directly at him.

Little Loach's expression changed, but then he showed a flattering look. He quietly approached Cao Wuyang, took out a piece of fairy mine, and tried to put it into his hand.

"You bribe the Shangguan, and according to the Lei Department's criminal law, I can strip you of your god's throne and slap you with fifty thunder whips."

Cao Wuyang reached out and knocked the fairy ore out of his hand, his words cold.

"Come here, drive away the stray fish and others."

He gave a soft drink, and the heavenly soldiers and generals behind him stepped forward one after another and glared at Qiu Ping.

When Qiu Ping saw this, he sighed in his heart, these ignorant and short-sighted people, you don't know how many opportunities your Lei Department has lost because you offended me.

It really makes no sense.

Little Loach was angry and secretly scolded Cao Wuyang for being ignorant.

If he hadn't been just an ordinary immortal and not qualified to enter the heaven, there would be no need for this black-faced report from Cao.

"Master Divine General, the Royal Envoy of the Yushu Academy inquired a few days ago and said that there is a god in the world who secretly releases lightning spells. The location coincides with this person's location. It must be him who secretly casts spells to strike mortals with lightning."

After Qiu Ping left, a civil servant-like god next to Cao Wuyang stepped forward and whispered.

"What does this have to do with me? We are here to dissipate grievances, not to accompany those spiritual officials to find trouble. If you are too busy, go to the next county to dissipate grievances."

Cao Wuyang glanced at this man and said coldly.

The civil servant felt bored and said no more.

……

Qiu Ping failed to get through Cao Wuyang's side and was frustrated, so he vented all his grievances on the local tyrants and evil gentry who had done evil.

Those who did too many bad things, he would just use his half-baked thunder technique to attack them.

Although it couldn't kill anyone, the momentum was still terrifying.

Especially after more people were struck by lightning, rumors spread on both sides of the Cao River that people who did bad things would be struck by lightning.

However, just word of mouth among ordinary people cannot be turned into substantial authority.

After all, the Shinto of this world is different from the Shinto of the previous small world.

The roots of the current world are deeper, and Shinto is more strict. Without the permission of the Shinto system, this kind of arbitrary dissemination of authority is illusory, and will be held accountable by Shinto.Qiu Ping was just on the sidelines, because he had a part-time job in the Lei Department, and he did not deliberately promote these ideas, so he would not be labeled as a prostitute.

Jing Xinghuai led the navy to push forward, and the local forces in various prefectures and counties were far from their opponents.

However, when they advanced to Jiyuan Mansion in the south of Qingzhou, the group finally fought back.

Several large households in Jiyuan Prefecture knew that this crisis could not be avoided, so they became determined and contacted local students to denounce Jing Xinghuai.

And with the help of interested people, the momentum of this condemnation grew at an extremely fast speed.

And it quickly spread from Qingzhou to Yunzhou. With the continuous spread of news, Jing Xinghuai has been completely twisted into a villain and the number one traitor around the emperor.

He played political tricks, deceived the emperor, relied on the army to oppress good people everywhere, ransacked the homes of wealthy households in various places, and confiscated tens of millions of taels of money.

After those rich people got rich, although they did a lot of bad things behind their backs, most of them would be known as good people on the surface.

Jing Xinghuai's label of oppressing good people should be labeled as such.

For ordinary scholars and lower-class people, the imperial water transportation dispute was too far away for them.

They only knew that Jing Xinghuai was going to lead an army to steal their property and occupy their land. He was the most evil person in the world.

The most cruel thing is that people in the local area began to pretend to be Jing Xinghuai's troops, looting and killing everywhere.

For a time, Jing Xinghuai's reputation was completely ruined.

"Sir, a large number of people have gathered on the pier ahead, and I'm not allowed to wait to get ashore."

Dozens of large ships from the Navy were sailing down the river and were about to arrive at Jiyuan Mansion.

But Xu Chengqing walked in from outside the cabin with a very ugly expression.

After all, their number is too small. Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been limited to counties. Powerful people from all over the country can take advantage of their local power to arbitrarily smear the imperial envoys.

Jing Xinghuai took a deep breath, opened the curtain of the cabin, and looked outside.

On the pier in the distance, a huge crowd of people gathered, including ordinary people and some scholars. They were filled with indignation, excitement and momentum.

Anything that involves public anger will be very difficult.

If one person doesn't handle it well and kills several ordinary people, he will probably be completely nailed to the pillar of shame.

Not only will he be criticized by the court, but he will also be listed as a cruel official in the history books.

"How about we avoid Jiyuan Mansion and go to Yunzhou first."

Xu Chengqing suggested.

But he also knew in his heart that once he did this, it would be a bad start. From now on, this method could be used to drive away the imperial envoys in various places, and the authority of the imperial court would be knocked to pieces.

This will inevitably become an important cause of turmoil in the world.

"Change into my official uniform and bring me the Emperor's Sword. I want to go ashore."

After Jing Xinghuai was silent for a while, he spoke firmly.

Even if he is beaten to death by local people today, he will not retreat.But he would first write a letter to the imperial capital and ask the emperor to send the imperial envoy again.

The imperial envoy of the imperial court may die, but he will not retreat.

This is the bottom line.

Jing Xinghuai had countless ways to deal with those corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry, but cruel methods could not be used on these ordinary people.

After the two sides had been fighting for so long, his enemies finally found his weakness.

"It's really hard to bear. If I were in your position, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

Qiu Ping stood aside and sighed.

It can only be said that they face too many enemies, and these people's methods are too rogue. This is a conspiracy and a conspiracy, but no one dares to expose that layer of lies.

Even in the imperial court, many people felt like a mirror.

Jing Xinghuai stood aside and looked at Qiu Ping calmly.

"God has blessed me a lot along the way, and I am incredibly grateful. If I have the opportunity to repay this kindness in my next life."

Jing Xinghuai tidied up his clothes and was determined to die.

"Ahem, what I mean is that I have no solution from your perspective, but that doesn't mean there is no solution from my perspective."

"They want to play rogue, right? I'm not bragging. When it comes to playing rogue, no one can beat me."

Qiu Ping laughed loudly, this is such a big deal.

Jing Xinghuai was startled and became nervous. Could it be that this god wanted to deal with ordinary people?

Qiu Ping took one step forward, and his body appeared above Xun Shui.

A jet-black orb appeared above his head. In an instant, the entire river became turbulent, and water vapor began to rise, accumulating in the sky in the blink of an eye.

Dull clouds were rolling in the sky, but they only covered the dock.

It's so common and weird that many people have never seen such a small rain cloud.

"Whoa."

The clouds gathered quickly, and the rain fell even faster. In the blink of an eye, it fell like a pouring water, drenching everyone.

The rain was so heavy that everyone at the dock felt like they were soaking in water, and even breathing was difficult.

Everyone was hit by the icy heavy rain, and everyone's fanatical minds immediately woke up, and they fled in all directions.

And Qiu Ping was also a man of great virtue. He controlled the rain clouds and followed the crowd. Wherever the crowd went, he would follow and pour water.

Jing Xinghuai on the ship was stunned, but he did not expect such an operation.

But if you think about it carefully, this method is the most suitable.

It's summer now. Even if it rains, it won't freeze to death, but it can drive people away as quickly as possible.

The little loach stood on the cloud with its waist clasped, looking like a successful villain.

I ask you people to listen to other people's beliefs and gather illegally. From now on, you can go home and live your life honestly. Don't listen to the wind and rain.

Otherwise, let you taste the power of wind and rain.

Although he is only proficient in the laws of time and space, he is the water god after all, and he can still use his priesthood to control wind and rain.

"What kind of god is this? It rains indiscriminately!"

At this moment, a red light suddenly rose in the City God's Temple in Jiyuan Prefecture.

In the blink of an eye, a thin priest with a yellow beard on his lips flew over.

This man was wearing a red official uniform and was obviously the local city god.

Qiu Ping's eyes narrowed and he discovered that the opponent's body was actually a weasel.

This is really rare. Generally, city gods are held by human beings after their death. Very few monsters can serve as such civil officials.

"What do you mean by random rainfall? I have a part-time job in the Lei Department. Now I feel that there is a lot of resentment here, so I came to wash away the resentment. If you have any objections, you can go to the gods in the sky to report it."

Qiu Ping looked like he was not stingy, and he didn't forget to find someone to support him at this time.

The Jiyuan City God looked at Qiu Ping with confusion, but he was frightened in his heart.

Because he could find that the Qi in this boy was deep and condensed into pure Yang, and he had clearly become an immortal.

After all, an immortal is no ordinary person, and he is not sure whether the other person's words are true or false.

"There may be reasons to respect the gods, but this is the boundary of Jiyuan Mansion. If it is going to rain, you should inform us in advance."
