Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 125 Mind Shackles
After saluting, Su Hao turned around and walked out of the Town God's Temple. Only the thousand-year-old ginseng was quietly placed on the altar.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Yi's mouth in God's Realm raised slightly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He just saw that Su Hao seemed to be too obsessed with power and neglected cultivation, and he also wanted to ease the tension between him and Su Hao. Because of the relationship between them, that's why they made a move, but they didn't expect that they seemed to release something incredible.

At this time, Su Hao who walked out of the Town God's Temple only felt that a layer of shackles had faded from his body, but thinking of the shackles that had faded, Su Hao's expression became gloomy again. Da Ming was able to rule the world for 200 years in this world full of ghosts and gods. Not covered.

This time Lu Yi gave him advice not to point out his flaws in practice, he has a system, and there is no major obstacle in practice at all, but a layer that he has put on since he became Jinyiwei Qianhu The invisible shackles, an invisible idea hidden deep in his heart, an invisible idea that made him abide by the rules of the officialdom.

It is now the end of the third year of the apocalypse, and in two months it will be the fourth year of the apocalypse, and there are only three years left before Wei Zhongxian's downfall. He has taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian, and the case of food grain that he and Fang Haichuan investigated together has caused the Donglin party to lose money Once Wei Zhongxian fell from power and the Donglin Party came to power, he would never end well. Moreover, after Chongzhen ascended the throne, rebellions would arise one after another in various places.

Logically speaking, what he should really do now is to cultivate his own power with all his strength, and then find ways to gain more enlightenment points to increase his strength, so that after Wei Zhongxian falls, he will be able to protect himself.

Instead of investigating some bullshit cases here, with his current status as a thousand households of Jinyiwei, even if he assassinates the patriarchs of those wealthy and powerful families in Jinan Mansion, and then a thief comes and shouts to catch the thief, he can get a lot of enlightenment points.

As for great achievements, he can buy them with money. Fang Haichuan is in the capital, so helping him buy some great achievements is a matter of little effort.

But he chose the stupidest direction, a mere Zhang Chongxiu, even if it could bring him help, but how much could it be, probably not even a ten-thousandth of the system.

It's not that he's stupid, but that this invisible idea has been influencing his thinking invisibly. Before he became Jinyiwei Qianhu, he thought about hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to become a martial arts master, and then came out to fight for hegemony.

But after he became Jinyiwei Qianhu, the idea of ​​fighting for world hegemony never appeared again. Before that, he plotted against Fang Haichuan and killed Li Yaoping and the others, but after he was promoted to Jinyiwei Qianhu, those rebellious thoughts in his heart seemed to be hidden. When he got up, he became more concerned about the official position of Jinyiwei Qianhu, and the power of Jinyiwei Qianhu.

When facing Tong Hong and the patriarchs of the rich and powerful families, he didn't have the kind of thought of wanting to exchange them for enlightenment points, but thought that if there was no benefit, everyone would not disturb each other, which was inconceivable to him Yes, after all, he knew a long time ago that his opponents in the future would be these people.

He didn't even realize these changes. If it wasn't because Lu Yi broke the shackles for him this time, then he would have been developing in this most stupid direction. Maybe he would have to wait until Wei Zhongxian fell and lost Jinyiwei Qianhu After this official position, he may wake up.

He also has some guesses about this layer of shackles. This may be the imperial court's restrictions on some local officials. As the Jinyiwei Qianhu who is in charge of the Jinyiwei of the Yifu, he can barely be regarded as a local official.

And he also understands this kind of method. Officials like them who have great power can easily develop ambitions. There are no limited methods. The court probably has to be busy fighting the rebellion every day.

Henan, Kaifeng Mansion, Ferry.

In a tea stand, He Liu, Jiang Shizhong, and Gan Yang quietly watched the people coming and going on the ferry, and merchant ships kept coming and going.

"Sixth brother, what should we do next?"

Gan Yang's usually indifferent and plain face showed a rare look of sadness: "That grandson surnamed Wu really wants to kill us."

"Yes, Sixth Brother."

Jiang Shizhong also said with a bitter face: "The Huangsha gang is from the Zhou Palace. If the Huangsha gang is disturbed, the Zhou Palace will never give us good fruit."

Before the demon fox was caught in the demon fox case, the three of them hurried back after receiving the order from the yamen.

As soon as they arrived at the Yamen, Wu Kun assigned them a mission to deal with the largest family in the city, the Li family. The Li family owned thousands of ships and monopolized most of the waterway freight in Kaifeng Prefecture.

As a result, as soon as the Li family was brought down, Wu Kun asked them to deal with the Huangsha gang. The Huangsha gang was the only gang at the Kaifeng mansion ferry. At most, they dare to offend some civil servants, but Zhou Palace is not something they can offend.

Zhou Wangfu is different from the previous Zhengwangfu. The previous Zhengwangfu committed a taboo, but the Zhouwangfu is different. The Zhouwangfu has always kept its duty. They dealt with the Huangsha gang by slapping Zhouwangfu in the face in public. There is nothing but a face left. If these petty officials dare to slap each other in the face, the Zhou Palace will definitely retaliate wildly. When the time comes, the few of them will probably end up in an unspeakable end.

"You two go to Shandong to seek refuge with Brother Su."

He Liu shook his head: "I want to wait here for Qianhu. The others have already taken refuge in Wu Kun. If I leave too, when Qianhu comes back, he won't even have anyone he can turn to."

"Sixth Brother, why are you so stubborn, go to Shandong to seek refuge with Brother Su, and it won't be too late to return to Kaifeng Mansion after Qianhu comes back."

Jiang Shizhong hurriedly persuaded him, he didn't understand why He Liu had to be so stubborn, he could avoid Wu Kun when he went to Shandong, but he had to stay here.

"You go."

He Liu shook his head. Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang wanted to go to Shandong to seek refuge with Su Hao. He was also happy to see it come true. He and Jiang Shizhong have been born and died together for so many years. Brothers are better than brothers, and he doesn't want them to be with him. Road to the dark.

As for himself, to be honest, it is not difficult to mobilize Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang's two trial hundred households, but it is by no means an easy task to mobilize a Jinyiwei hundred households, especially when Wu Kun is still staring at him. , he didn't want to cause trouble for Su Hao.

...

On the other side, Zichuan County.

As a wealthy family that has been rooted in Zichuan County for more than 200 years, the Zhang family's house is naturally not small. It is composed of two big houses with three entrances.

It's just that outside Zhang's house today, dozens of yamen servants under the leadership of Zhang Qi, the head catcher, have blocked the front and back doors of the entire Zhang's house.

"Zhang catcher, what do you mean by this?"

Looking at Zhang Qi and many government servants blocking the door, the housekeeper of the Zhang family frowned. They were all from the same county, so he naturally knew Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi asked: "Where is your master?"

The housekeeper of the Zhang family frowned and said, "My master is at home, what's the matter with Chief Zhang?"

"I have something to see your master, go in and report."

Zhang Qi has a serious expression: "It's quite important."

"Zhang Butou, please wait a moment."

Seeing Zhang Qi's expression, the housekeeper of the Zhang family nodded quickly, and then hurried back home.

Not far away, Su Hao and Zhou Xu were dressed in casual clothes, looking at the Zhang family from a distance.

"Su Qianhu, why do you have to go to such trouble, can't you just rush in and arrest people?"

Zhou Xu was puzzled and said that he had already caught the Bailian disciples arranged by Zhang's family at the gate of the city. It would be fine to just go to the gate and arrest them. Zhang Qi had to take people to Zhang's house to test them out.

"The Zhang family colluded with the members of the White Lotus Sect. Who knows how many masters of the White Lotus Sect there are in the family. If they rush in rashly, they will only fall into a trap."

Su Hao calmly said: "It's better to let Zhang Butou and the others to test it out."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhou Xu's face changed. Zhang Qi and the others are his subordinates. Su Hao actually used them as bait, but Zhou Xu still didn't say anything.

People from the White Lotus Sect appeared in Zichuan and took control of the city gate, but he didn't know about it. If Su Hao hadn't found out, his fate would not be much better.
