My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 175 This knife is surprisingly useful

The head fell to the ground like a deflated rubber ball and rolled around for a few times before stopping in front of Pei Ruhai. The eyes that were staring at him were filled with bloodshot eyes, as if he was telling everyone his unwillingness.

Pei Ruhai exclaimed and sat down on the ground, his face as pale as the head in front of him.

Pei Ruhai travels all year round, especially in the past two years, when the Guiyi Sect has been causing a lot of trouble and has seen dead people. Naturally, Pei Ruhai cannot be so courageous and lose his temper after being frightened by a human head.

What really made him lose his temper was Jiang Shu's identity.

The grandson of the current prime minister!

Lu Xuan is really crazy, he even dares to kill such a person!

Pei Ruhai almost thought of what kind of dilemma Shangyang County would face next.

He wouldn't be surprised if the current Yipin's anger razed Shangyang County to the ground.

Not only him, but also the wealthy businessmen present and powerful people like Cui Yuan, all of them looked ugly when they saw Jiang Shu's head fall to the ground.

One can imagine what will happen to Lu Xuan next.

But how Lu Xuan died had nothing to do with them. What they were really worried about was whether the anger of the court would implicate them.

During this period, thanks to Lu Xuan, they were also fortunate to see the destructive power of high-level monks. The most important thing is that Shangyang Thirteen County does not have the green energy to protect the city. Once a fight comes, they are now at Ding Dian. The child has no ability to protect himself.

Lu Xuan said something else on the general stage, but no one paid attention. Everyone was thinking about their own escape now, and they must not be implicated by Lu Xuan.

"Everyone, my leader invites you to have a banquet at Lu Mansion." Ergou led the people to the crowd and clasped his fists at them.

Lu Xuan has left. He killed Jiang Shu in public today just to spread the word. The goal has been achieved. The next step is to talk to these rich families about the future of Shangyang County.

No one wanted to go, but in the face of Lu Xuan's invitation, no one in Shangyang County dared to refuse.

Lu Xuan is a nostalgic person. He has been to Sanyang County for the third time. The house is still the same as before. He has not moved it and does not want to move it. The furnishings have not changed. But today, in order to officially commemorate the Tianshi, the house is covered with white silk.

The lobby was already full of people, but it was eerily quiet. If you couldn't still hear the sound of breathing, you would feel horrified when you suddenly walked in.

The figures who used to be influential in various counties of Shangyang County are now like students waiting for punishment from the teacher, sitting upright and not daring to squint their eyes.

"Why, are you afraid that I will implicate you?" Lu Xuan led the people in, looked at everyone's appearance, and sat in his seat with a golden sword: "Don't worry, you have been very considerate to me during this period. Remember grudges and gratitude. Since you didn't help Jiang Shu, Lu remembered this favor. He invited everyone here today to repay this favor. From now on, each family's business tax will be reduced by half, and [-]% of the profits will be enough. "

If nothing had happened before, this would indeed be good news.

But now the disaster is coming, who wants to hear this at this time.

"Of course, this money is not for nothing. If you encounter any problems in Shangyang County, just take care of it and I will help you solve it!" Lu Xuan said as if he didn't know what everyone was thinking, and said to himself.

"As for the cultivated land, don't think about it. The cultivated land in Shangyang belongs to me. Whoever touches it will die." Lu Xuan looked at the crowd and said: "I hope you understand that as long as Lu is still alive one day, this is the rule of Shangyang County. , it was decided by Lu, and no one can change it. Of course, if Lu dies one day, these things will no longer be under Lu’s control. I have called you here today. Regarding these matters, if you don’t have anything else to say, , let’s disperse.”

"Yes, leader, I'll take my leave!" Cui Yuandang stood up first and changed his title smoothly. In the school grounds, he had just heard that people from the Guiyi Sect had changed the title of Lu Xuan. They don't know the reason yet, and they didn't bother to know.

In everyone's eyes, Lu Xuan was already a dead man.

"Master, what happened to these people today?" Ergou looked at Lu Xuan with some confusion after seeing everyone leave. In the past, even if he didn't want to, he would fawn over Lu Xuan, but today, everyone It was as if he was afraid of getting involved with Lu Xuan.

"What else can I do? Jiang Shu is Jiang Song's grandson. If I kill him, they are worried about being implicated by me. This is drawing a clear line." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"I'll get rid of these idiots!" Chen Ergou's eyes flashed with a ruthless look.

"Do your own thing well. We have time now. There are only two things you have to do now. Learn to deal with your own affairs and practice. Don't worry about other things. Let them go. Shenfeng Hall and Shennong Hall The second hall is vacant. I want to choose between you and Xiaobai as the master of Shenfeng Hall, but no matter who is the master of this hall, he must have outstanding achievements and think about these things." Lu Xuan glanced at Ergou glanced at him and said.

"Yes!" Ergou could only agree. He actually didn't want to do this, but he couldn't brush off Lu Xuan's kindness, so he could only say goodbye and leave.

In the next few days, Shangyang County was calm. Lu Xuan did not appoint a county magistrate, but with or without a county magistrate, it seemed that Shangyang County could operate independently.

The Guiyi Sect has also begun to take root among the people, and those who have been canonized by Lu Xuan can clearly feel that as the number of followers increases, the sense of belonging to the Guiyi Sect becomes stronger, and the luck flowing through them increases. The more they practice, the faster their practice will be and their minds will be clearer.

Many things that were difficult to figure out before seem to be easily understood now, and many people have even broken through to small realms during this period.

This also made everyone's enthusiasm even higher.

……

On the other side, Tiandu, Chaotian Palace.

Ji Huan frowned and looked at the position of his subordinates, frowning and said: "Why did the Prime Minister not come to court today?" The Great Qian Dynasty Meeting was not held every day. There were no major events or the emperor summoned it, but it was only held two or three times a month. Courtiers are generally not late.

As the head of the court, the prime minister sets an example for all officials and will basically not miss court meetings.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jiang is waiting for your Majesty's summons outside the palace." Liu Chunhua bowed.

"Huh?" Ji Huan frowned and said, "Why don't you come in?"

"There seems to be something going on." Liu Chunhua said uncertainly.

"Introduce him to the palace." Ji Huan said impatiently.

"Yes." Liu Chunhua raised his voice and shouted outside the palace: "Xuan Prime Minister Jiang Song has entered the palace!"

"Xuan Prime Minister Jiang Song enters the palace~"

As a famous chamberlain spread the words outside the palace, Prime Minister Jiang Song came in staggeringly.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!" Jiang Song came to the jade steps, knelt down on the ground with a pop, and cried.

"What happened?" Ji Huan frowned.

"Your Majesty, my grandson Jiang Shu was ordered to go to Shangyang County to quell the rebellion. I didn't expect the thief chief Lu Xuan to be cunning and trick my grandson into being deceived. Not only did I capture him, but I also killed him in public! I'm brave, old minister, Please, Your Majesty, send troops to quell the rebellion!" Jiang Song cried sadly.

Under the jade steps, Zhang Wang and Cao Jingzhong looked at each other, and one could see the satisfaction in Zhang Wang's eyes.

When Zhang Wang's beloved adopted son fell into Jiang Song's hands, he didn't show any kindness at all.

"Damn it!" Ji Huan frowned when he heard this and snorted coldly: "Zhang Yuqing is dead, but these remnants of the Guiyi Sect still dare to be so rampant! Those who kill court ministers who are good at it should be punished!"

"Your Majesty, you can order General Yu Wentong to lead the elite to quickly put down the rebellion!" Xie Yao came out and bowed.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Wang came out and bowed and said: "The Shangyang bandits are just remnants of the Guiyi Sect. The imperial court wants to destroy a group of small thieves, but it actually sends a third-rank general of the dynasty to go on an expedition. If word spreads, I'm afraid there will be someone. Damage the dignity of the court and make the world think that there is no one available in the court."

Ji Huan nodded in agreement and said: "I am about to conquer the Qingxuan Dao Sect. The generals who have been cultivated to the fifth rank in the court must not move lightly."

During the battle in the Falling Star Valley, Ji Huan had already made up his mind to eliminate the five sects of the Dao Alliance and gather together in the Mountain and River Seal. Not to mention that he was the one who gave the nod to this matter. Even if there was no such quarrel, Ji Huan would not be able to kill a person at this time. A fifth-grade martial artist was sent out.

"But I don't know who Eunuch Zhang thinks is suitable?" Xie Yao frowned slightly. Although what Ji Huan and Zhang Wang said were quite reasonable, years of ups and downs in officialdom made him keenly aware of an unusual atmosphere, and he did not refute it at the moment. , waiting for the opponent to make a move.

"This is a matter for the Ministry of War. Why did Xie Shangshu ask questions about our family?" Zhang Wang shook his head and refused to answer the question.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter does not need to be brought to the court for discussion." Cao Jingzhong said with a smile: "The bandits in Shangyang are nothing more than moss and mustard. Last time, Your Majesty asked each place to recruit soldiers and horses to pacify the people. This time, the bandits in Shangyang are. In the final analysis, it is still a matter for the officials of each county in Yunzhou. We only need to let each county send troops to suppress the bandits. Why send troops from Tiandu?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. The thief chief Lu Xuan is Zhang Yuqing's favorite disciple. He is cunning and good at fighting. He has defeated the army many times. He is an extraordinary thief. Your Majesty, please send the elite from Tiandu to eliminate him as soon as possible!" Jiang Song hurriedly said road.

"Oh?" Cao Jingzhong said with confusion after hearing this: "When His Majesty originally asked your Majesty to delegate power to each county and let each county recruit troops to fight against thieves, it was to ease the pressure on the imperial court to use troops. Now that some of the remnants of the religion have been reunited, each county cannot cope with it. It still needs to be If we reach out to the imperial court for troops, what’s the point of recruiting troops from various places on their own?”

When Jiang Song heard this, his heart trembled. He frowned and looked at Cao Jingzhong and Zhang Wang. He secretly screamed that something was wrong. He was heartbroken after losing his grandson today. He messed up the rules and was taken advantage of by these two eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not impossible for Tiandu to send troops. However, since recruiting troops from various places is useless, and now that the Guiyi Sect has been destroyed, it is better to return the military power of each county to the imperial court." Cao Jingzhong bowed.

Ji Huan did not answer immediately, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Lu Xuan's knife was surprisingly easy to use.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be left to the prefects of the counties in Yunzhou." Xie Yao stepped forward and bowed: "There is indeed no need to send troops from Tiandu."

They had finally forced the emperor to compromise and release this military power. How could they return it to the court just because of a trivial matter?

"Your Majesty, now that the imperial court is about to start a war with the Qingxuan Dao Sect, it is indeed inappropriate to dispatch generals to clear up the small chaos." Cui Yongnian, the Minister of War, bowed.

Jiang Song looked at this scene and closed his eyes helplessly. He really didn't consider this matter, but he had to kill Lu Xuan!

"Then the Ministry of War will order all counties in Yunzhou to coordinate against the thieves." Ji Huan nodded and ignored the matter.

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the President of the Taiyuan Academy, it has been many days since the Imperial Academy scholars gathered together to protect the city. If this continues, the safety of Tiandu will be in danger. I hope your Majesty will make an early decision."

"Are they forcing me?" Ji Huan snorted coldly when he heard this, and said with a look of displeasure in his eyes: "Regardless of whether there is a dean in the Taiyuan Academy, let those scholars go back to me as soon as possible to regroup the green energy to protect the city!"

"His Majesty……"

Regarding the position of the head of the Taiyuan Academy, a new round of debate started in the court. Jiang Song looked at the ministers who seemed to have forgotten him in silence, feeling that he was suddenly rejected by the entire court.
