Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 421 A noble person should have the awareness of a noble person (7.6k, please subscribe)

The living room of the prime minister's residence suddenly became quiet.

The Prime Minister looked apologetic and emphasized:
"You need to think twice before you act."

"Please wait for a moment, Champion."

What does it mean?
Before Chu Wujiang could react, he saw the Prime Minister surrounded by a circle of brown light, and his whole body seemed to be covered with dirt.

The Confucian secret knowledge - the power of virtue and tolerance!

At this moment, the Prime Minister communicated with the earth, resonated with each other, became one, and became indistinguishable from each other.

The circle is the earth, and the earth is the circle.

Once this Confucian martial art is mastered, one can transform oneself into the earth and bear all attacks.

This is the virtue of being broad-minded.

Chu Wujiang could not help but open the [Eye of Truth], took a quick look, and thought to himself:

[No wonder the Prime Minister is known as the ruler of the nine states.]

[It turns out that this means that he controls a small area of ​​land. If his connection with the earth is not cut off, he will continue to receive support from the earth and will be almost immortal.]

Fang Xiaoran's expression became stern, and he saluted and said:
"Marquis Champion, my father said that I should think twice, which normally takes three incense sticks of time."

"I will entertain you first."

"Sorry for the poor hospitality."

Chu Wujiang didn't expect that the Prime Minister would take a break. He couldn't help but smile:
"It doesn't matter."

"However long it takes, my Lord Prime Minister, I will wait for."

"We just happened to chat."

What Chu Wujiang cares about most in the Fang family now is not Prime Minister Fang Yuan, nor Fang Wanjun, nor Fang Xiaoran, but Fang Fusheng.

The appearance of the Demon Lord made Chu Wujiang suspect that there was some connection between the two.

Fang Xiaoran said politely:

"My Lord, whatever you want to talk about, I will accompany you to the end."

When he was alone, Fang Xiaoran was quite chivalrous. He had a good reputation in the martial arts world, but he was implicated by Fang Fusheng.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"Mr. Fang, there's no need to be so polite."

"I wonder if your brother is in good health?"

"I was a little impulsive last time, and I wanted to meet him to clear up the past grudges."

Fang Fusheng might be possessed by an evil star. Chu Wujiang has just synthesized a dragon pupil and plans to find out the truth.

If the other party really has a magic star, it would be better to make arrangements in advance.

Fang Xiaoran kept his composure and replied politely:

"My brother has learned his lesson and deeply regrets his behavior."

"He has been studying at the Six Gates recently and is working hard to reform himself."

"I would also like to thank the Marquis for his education."

Chu Wujiang didn't take it seriously and continued to ask:

"It just so happens that I am free tomorrow and will go to the Six Gates. I wonder where your brother is?"

"Is it in the Ministry of Justice or in the Six Gates?"

Fang Xiaoran hesitated a little, but he changed his mind and realized that Chu Wujiang couldn't hide this kind of thing, so he replied:
"My brother went to the prison."

Chu Wujiang asked curiously:
"Could it be that your brother has violated some family rules?"

Fang Xiaoran shook his head and said:

"It's not a violation of family law."

"Just let him stay with his aunt, receive education, see the fate of prisoners in the prison, and wake up."

Fang Xiaoran is a master of Confucianism, so it is natural for him to make up lies.

"Some of those prisoners in the prison were not bad people by nature, but due to some strange circumstances, they went astray and made big mistakes."

"After the teachings of Marquis Guanjun, my brother has realized that there are always people better than you and there are always things better than you."

"I hope he can learn from his mistakes in the prison and not make the same mistake again."

Chu Wujiang's eyes flashed, and he had an idea in his mind.

[You are kidding! ]

[I have the ability to forge books and scriptures, and I can easily distinguish the true from the false. ]

[In addition to venting anger and practicing magic skills, what else can be done in Tianlao? 】

[If Fang Fusheng was so easy to educate, would he still be like this? ]

Fang Xiaoran didn't want Chu Wujiang to care too much about his brother, so he said in a deep voice:

"My Lord, let's talk about something serious."

"My brother is not worth mentioning."

Chu Wujiang did not expose the other party's lies, but smiled and said:

"In this case, I am willing to play a game with Master Fang."

Fang Xiaoran asked in confusion:

"what game?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"It's very simple."

"Mr. Fang, you are standing in opposition. How are you going to refute my tax increase proposal?"

Fang Xiaoran looked at Chu Wujiang in surprise and asked puzzledly:
"Why?"

Chu Wujiang took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"Your father is thinking deeply, perhaps to refute me, or perhaps to think about the pros and cons."

"I will also improve this plan as soon as possible."

Fang Xiaoran understood.

Chu Wujiang wants to use himself as a whetstone to sharpen his own policies and guidelines.

Fang Xiaoran is also a proud person, and he has always admired his father.

Prime Minister Fang Yuan did an excellent job in disaster relief, suppressing rebellions, allocating resources, rectifying the administration of officials, etc., so that the court did not completely get out of control.

Not to mention the prime minister's efforts to restrict spiritual rice, form a Confucian alliance, fight against the King of Qin, and defend the court.

Fang Xiaoran still remembers what his father looked like when he invited Champion Marquis.

"Father, don't we need to prepare gifts?"

"Don't worry, your father has already seen through the Champion Marquis."

"He proposed the Lingmi Restriction Act, refused to submit to the King of Qin, and united with the nobles in Longzhou to reduce rent."

"These actions show that he is a man who cares about the people and is not just putting on a show."

"It's hard to win over such people with money and property."

Fang Xiaoran replied with some surprise:

"Does father think that he values ​​principles above all else?"

The Prime Minister nodded with a smile and said:
"Yes, that's exactly the truth."

"The Confucianists, Taoists, Buddhists, including the Duke of Zhenguo, wanted affection, benefits, and alliances to win him over. There was some effect, but it was not enough."

"I hope to talk to him about principles. Maybe we can get along."

Compared with the other families, the Prime Minister believed that Chu Wujiang put the people of the world first, so he planned to use this as a breakthrough.

It has to be said that the Prime Minister knows Chu Wujiang better than any other forces.

As a result, Chu Wujiang unexpectedly proposed a tax plan, which seemed to touch the heart of the prime minister and made him think twice.

Fang Xiaoran thought of his father's setbacks and said proudly:

"Please give me some advice, Champion Hou!"

now it's right.

Chu Wujiang wanted to take this opportunity to see Fang Xiaoran's level, and said in a deep voice:

"Increasing taxes on liquor and elixirs will not only reduce the tax burden on ordinary people, but will also make collection easier and generate greater profits."

"These taxes can be targeted at shops in Tianjing and a tiered tax rate can be implemented."

"If a Bai Shen pill can be sold for 500 taels of silver, then the tax can be 300 taels, or even higher."

"Mr. Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Xiaoran knew very well how terrible this plan was, and even his father was at a disadvantage, but who wouldn't find fault with it?

His mind began to work, and he sensed a flaw, and immediately said:

"Champion Hou, things are not that simple."

"For example, the tax on elixirs is actually difficult to collect."

"The pills are very small, how can we know if the transaction is real?"

"What's more, warriors rely on training resources. If we impose taxes on this, wouldn't it damage the human race's combat power?"

Fang Xiaoran is indeed a peerless genius and a saint of Confucianism. He is well aware of the moral high ground and is also first-rate at finding fault.

Warriors represent the elite of the human race.

Pills are props to assist in spiritual practice.

If the imperial court imposes a tax on elixirs, the price of elixirs will rise, which will harm the development of humanity's combat power.

When Chu Wujiang heard this criticism, he immediately added:
"Master Fang, this is absurd."

"A Hundred Ginseng Pill costs 500 taels of silver. Who dares to trade privately and buy it casually?"

"Normal warriors will only buy from trustworthy shops."

"The court can definitely reward informants, and anyone who dares to evade taxes can be punished tenfold."

"It is much more convenient to have officials monitor shops and collect taxes than for the people to pay the imperial tax."

Although ancient dynasties tried hard to collect land tax, it was a direct tax and was extremely difficult to collect.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Chu Wujiang's previous life, many places actually owed taxes, not because the people were so bold.

But life is getting unsustainable and taxation can only be postponed.

Once the imperial court demanded payment, they would force people to death.

It doesn't cost money, it costs a life.

Chu Wujiang refuted the difficulty of taxation, which made Fang Xiaoran fall into deep thought, and then added:

"As for the issue of human race's combat power."

"If we want to increase the combat power of the human race, we can exempt warriors from all taxes, then why don't we grow spiritual rice?"

"Wouldn't it be faster and more convenient?"

The Duke of Zhenguo can use the archway of human race's combat power, but the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot.

You clearly support restricting spiritual rice, but now you say that collecting taxes on elixirs will damage humanity's combat effectiveness. That's double standards.

Fang Xiaoran secretly thought that this was not good.

He was looking for policy loopholes, but accidentally turned it into a moral question, which led to Chu Wujiang's counterattack.

But Fang Xiaoran quickly adjusted his state and added:

"My Lord, there is a difference between spiritual rice and elixirs."

"Most of the materials for the elixir come from medicinal fields, deep mountains, and forests. Its share of fertile land is far less than that of spiritual rice."

"Originally, spiritual rice and elixirs are interchangeable. If taxes are added to elixirs, the value of spiritual rice will increase instead."

This Fang Xiao Ran does have some skills.

In economics, there is a concept called substitutes. For example, if the price of train tickets increases, people may choose to fly.

Pills and spiritual rice are interchangeable, and if too much tax is levied, it will weaken the policy of restricting spiritual rice.

Chu Wujiang nodded upon hearing this:
"Mr. Fang has a point, but I did not say to impose the same tax."

“We can divide them into categories and in different intensities.”

“For example, elixirs similar to spiritual rice can be exempted from tax to stimulate production.”

"Taxation cannot be crude and simplistic. It needs to be managed in a refined manner and higher standards should be set for the quality of officials."

Chu Wujiang carefully explained the key points of this tax plan.

The more Fang Xiaoran listened, the more surprised he became.

[How could this Champion Hou's plan be so mature? ]

[Behind his theory, there seems to be a set of knowledge on managing the country and benefiting the people. ]

Fang Xiaoran has a keen sense of smell, and he vaguely realizes that there is a complete set of theories supporting Chu Wujiang.

However, no matter how high his talent is, it cannot compare to the accumulation of a civilization's development, unless Fang Xiaoran has the ability to [know ten things after hearing one].

But he would not give up easily, and instantly came up with a new method:

"Marquis Guanjun, the court is now in a state of internal strife, and the interests of all parties are intertwined."

"Fang is not against the imposition of a tax on the rich, but we must first consider the unity within the human race."

"Now that the demon era is approaching, we should unite and first deal with foreign threats before we talk about taxation."

"If we disrupt the human race for the sake of distribution, wouldn't that just allow the demons to succeed?"

"My father is hesitant because he is probably worried that the unity of the human race will be destroyed."

Fang Xiaoran is also first-rate when it comes to rhetoric.

He could not oppose Chu Wujiang's proposal to tax the rich more and the poor less, but he believed that if he did so, serious internal strife might arise among the human race.

For the sake of solidarity, the rich must not be taxed.

After hearing this set of words, Chu Wujiang couldn't help but laugh:
"Master Fang, unity based on compromise is meaningless."

"I have heard a story about a city that was invaded by foreign enemies. The soldiers defending the city demanded that the city lord pay the overdue military pay and double the reward."

"Who would have thought that the city lord was a stingy person, and he asked the soldiers to unite and reward them as long as they defeated the enemy."

"Master Fang, what do you think will be the ending?"

Fang Xiaoran is not a fool, he whispered:

"I guess the soldiers opened the city gates to welcome the enemy."

Chu Wujiang nodded with a smile and said:

"exactly."

“If the people within the human race are not treated as they should be, who knows if they will follow the soldiers’ lead and open the city gates.”

"They won't feel ashamed of colluding with demons."

"So in my opinion, if there are rich people who oppose, they are the demons' spies."

"The demon era is coming, we should eradicate them in advance to prevent future troubles!"

This……

Although Fang Xiaoran is a genius, he has not experienced the stigma of being accused on the Internet like Chu Wujiang.

He originally proposed that unity was paramount and that taxation could easily lead to civil unrest.

We need to deal with the demons first before we consider imposing these taxes on the rich.

I have to say that this theory is very misleading. If it were applied to Chu Wujiang's previous life, it would also be a set of high-quality rhetoric.

But Chu Wujiang has been through many battles and has seen a lot.

He directly stated that anyone who dared not pay taxes would be a traitor and would be killed.

easy to understand.

Now Fang Xiao Ran was completely at a loss for words.

Of course he could still make excuses, saying that the soldiers were greedy and if he satisfied them this time, they would ask for more next time.

But Fang Xiaoran was a decent man after all, so he did not argue any further.

Especially after the prime minister thought it over, he released the resonance and returned to normal.

"Guanjun Hou said it very well. I admire you."

Chu Wujiang noticed that the Prime Minister looked much better, and couldn't help but ask:
"How is the Prime Minister?"

The Prime Minister smiled and said:
"I am fine. I was just thinking about Marquis Guanjun's proposal, which ones can be implemented, which ones need to be postponed, and how many people should be won over to implement this policy." Chu Wujiang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the Prime Minister was in a state of long thought, on the premise that he agreed to this plan.

It makes sense. From the perspective of the imperial court, Fang would naturally not object to improving the court's financial capabilities and further controlling the government.

It’s just a question of how to execute it and to which step.

Anyway, he can execute it slowly.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

"What do you mean, sir?"

The Prime Minister said firmly:

"I intend to start with liquor tax."

Fang Xiaoran quickly reminded:

"Father, this is not appropriate."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but look at the Prime Minister, who explained:

"The largest wine merchant in Tianjin is Duke Liguo, and the second largest wine merchant is Duke Zhenguo."

"Since we are going to impose a liquor tax, the best way is to ask Duke Liguo to make some concessions to show the fairness of Confucianism."

"As for the tax on elixirs, the attitude towards the Taoist sect is too obvious, so we can only take it step by step."

“The tax rates on various jewels and pearls can also be increased significantly.”

The Prime Minister was mature and prudent. He dealt with the warriors and the martial arts scholars by simply not giving them benefits. However, directly levying tax on elixirs would be tantamount to a head-on confrontation with the Taoist sect, so he started with his allies to show fairness.

He also had some selfish motives and imposed heavy taxes on the jewelry business.

Recently, the Chu family has been selling pearls and other jewelry, and the prime minister wanted to see Chu Wujiang's reaction.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister's words make sense, and I fully agree with them."

[Do you really agree? ]

[Is Champion Hou really so selfless? ]

The Prime Minister possesses the [Eye of Bole], which is very similar to the [Dragon's Eyes to Identify Traitors]. He can tell whether a person is talented or not, and the difference between sincerity and falsehood.

The Prime Minister decided to try again:
"In that case, I have something else I need your help with."

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"Could it be that he is trying to persuade the Duke of Zhenguo to give in?"

"I can try my best."

The Prime Minister shook his head and said:
"No, as long as there is no problem with Duke Li, there will naturally be no problem with Duke Zhenguo's temperament."

"On the contrary, Duke Li is in imminent danger. If I were to go and persuade the Duke's Mansion to accept the liquor tax, I would be ashamed to see him."

"Champion Hou is an eloquent speaker and is best suited to being a lobbyist."

"I wonder what the Champion thinks?"

Duke Liguo is almost dead, and his descendants are useless. Apart from the land in his fiefdom, Duke Liguo's largest industry is the wine industry in Tianjing.

Almost all the dignitaries in Tianjing drink the fine wine produced by the Duke Liguo’s Mansion.

Every year is a mountain of gold and silver.

Now the imperial court is going to levy heavy taxes. According to Chu Wujiang's opinion, the tax rate will definitely not be low.

How profitable is alcohol tax?

Taking Tsarist Russia in the 19th century as an example, liquor tax accounted for about one-third of the total fiscal revenue, which was 1820 million rubles in 4400, equivalent to 2100 million taels of silver.

You have to know that the population of Tsarist Russia at that time was only 2000 million, and the per capita liquor tax was 1 tael of silver.

The Tianming Dynasty is not addicted to alcohol, but the annual sales of alcohol are astonishing.

Duke Liguo is a dying tiger. If you try to rob his property, I'm afraid he will fight you to the death.

But Chu Wujiang nodded this time and said:

"The Prime Minister is willing to promote the liquor tax and the elixir tax to replace the land tax. I am willing to help."

“The Chu family will use newspapers to explain the pros and cons of taxation to assist public opinion.”

"As for Duke Liguo, I will also do my best to persuade him."

The Prime Minister said in a deep voice:
"Marquis Guanjun, even if this matter is accomplished, it will actually reduce the Chu family's income."

Chu Wujiang smiled upon hearing this:

"My Lord Prime Minister, I have always been content with what I have."

"If the world is in turmoil, will these fertile fields and silver money still belong to the Chu family?"

"The nobles of Longzhou witnessed the rebellion of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect with their own eyes."

"So we reached a consensus that we must not force the people to this point and let them fall into the arms of the evil god."

Just as during the Great Depression, America's wealthy felt that the entire old world was collapsing, and they were willing to make concessions for it.

A noble person should have the awareness of being a noble person, and understand that his wealth is built on the foundation of the volcano, and should not be taken for granted.

The Prime Minister could not help but sigh:

"If all the nobles in the world were like the Champion Marquis, I wouldn't have to worry."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is over-praised."

"I have traveled all the way from Longzhou and have seen the unrest and bandits in various places. The world is in danger."

"For example, in Leizhou there were the Yellow Armored Army, who killed landlords and gentry, distributed the land to the people, looted the wealth, and ran around everywhere, truly like wild beasts."

"There are countless dragons and snakes like this in the hundreds of states in the world. If one day they gain power, the wealth and glory we enjoy will become the King of Hell who demands our lives."

"We don't have much time."

After discussing this, the two sides finally reached a consensus on the spiritual rice restriction law.

Chu Wujiang will support the Prime Minister's policies, and the Prime Minister must also promote consumption tax and change the current unreasonable tax burden.

The Prime Minister nodded and said:
"I will do my best, even if it's just for the champion."

"Whenever Marquis Guanjun wants to visit Duke Liguo, please be sure to bring my son with you."

Fang Yuan didn't want to trick Chu Wujiang, so he naturally didn't want Duke Li Guo to kick him out in anger, so he planned to send Fang Xiaoran to Chu Wujiang's side.

This is also a statement that the Prime Minister has no intention of harming Chu Wujiang.

Chu Wujiang showed a satisfied smile and said:
"That couldn't be better."

"Now that the official business has been settled, I wonder if the Prime Minister would be willing to discuss some private matters."

The Prime Minister said with a serious expression:
"Is the Champion Marquis here for the Gaosheng case?"

Chu Wujiang nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course."

"This case is not complicated. The adopted son of the Duke of Zhenguo, Zhao Chongde, committed the crime. The Jingzhao Yin not only failed to see the truth, but also tried to suppress the matter and even threatened the victim."

"I happened to see this and I feel sorry for him."

"How should we deal with this Jingzhao Yin and redress the case? Please advise me, Prime Minister."

Chu Wujiang wanted to give the two thugs as gifts to the Prime Minister so that he could set the punishment procedure.

Chu Wujiang brought this up at this time in order to maximize benefits.

He has just agreed to help the Prime Minister, so you should return the favor.

The Prime Minister couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Does the Champion know the origins of Jingzhao Yin [Qian Zhaofeng]?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"I have heard that Jingzhao Yin is probably the man of Duke Rong. He is nothing to be afraid of."

"It is said that Prince Zhen is not very capable, his martial arts skills are mediocre, and he only likes to enjoy himself."

Time is ruthless.

The six dukes were restricted by the curse of Emperor Wu, and their descendants were even less capable. As the older generation died, their influence was also declining sharply.

Duke Rong himself is the last of the six dukes. The old Duke Rong is dead, and the new Duke Rong does not have the ability to defend the country. They can only survive by relying on titles, fiefdoms and the inertia of the powerful.

The Prime Minister once cursed, "Nobles can be relied upon, but sows can climb trees."

His target was the children of the six dukes.

According to the standards of the martial arts world, there is not a single accomplished person among them. Zhao Kuo, the eldest grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, is considered an outstanding disciple. At least he is physically weak and will not mess around.

The Prime Minister's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse:

"That Prince Zhen is indeed not good. He hangs out in the opera troupe all day, keeps a group of actors, and calls himself the master of the opera garden."

"He has brought shame upon the Zhen family's eighteen generations of ancestors."

"Last time, he spent a fortune on a book boy."

The Prime Minister knows the former Duke Rong, and both parties are considered aristocratic families and have certain interactions.

So when the Prime Minister thought of these useless sons of nobles, he felt a little angry.

What’s even more infuriating is that Prince Zhen and Fang Fusheng are good friends and they have similar personalities.

Fang Fusheng is the Young Master of the Five Poisons, and Prince Zhen is a playboy.

Most of the sons of nobles that Chu Wujiang met were outstanding people because they came from different circles.

If you are in Fang Fusheng's circle, no one will be successful.

Either in a brothel or in a theater, they play as much as they can and enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Chu Wujiang didn't expect that mentioning Duke Rong would make the Prime Minister reveal his true feelings.

The Prime Minister couldn't help but cough to cover up his mistake and continued:

"Cough cough!"

"Duke Rong has made contributions to the country after all. If the punishment is severe, the four dukes may unite as one."

"Now the four great dukedoms are getting worse day by day, and they value face more."

"The Champion Marquis should not be dealt with rashly."

Chu Wujiang finally understood.

The two strongest of the six dukes, the Duke of Zhenguo, needless to say, is the pillar of the court, and one of them is stronger than the other five combined.

Duke Liguo can temporarily compete with Duke Zhenguo, but he is about to die of old age. The remaining four dukes are close-knit groups, and together they can become a formidable force.

He couldn't help but ask:
"What do you think, Prime Minister?"

The Prime Minister pondered for a moment:

"It is already proven that Jingzhao Yin sent someone to intimidate us."

"I will submit a petition asking Duke Rong to stop pursuing the matter."

"As for the fact that Jingzhao Yin was able to hold on to his position, it was mainly because he compromised and did not offend any party. This time is no exception."

"The Jingzhao Yin wants to reconcile, which is nothing more than settling the matter."

"I will warn him and tell him to overturn the verdict without worrying about my sister."

"Let me deal with those Jingzhao Yin's men."

The biggest problem in the Prime Minister's Office is that Fang Wanjun is responsible for solving cases.

The whole process was that Fang Wanjun determined it was a mutual fight, Jingzhao Yin was responsible for stamping it, the Ministry of Justice approved it, the Dali Temple reviewed and approved it, and the Inspectorate made a check mark.

Although the process seems complicated, most of it actually involves stamping machines.

Now the Prime Minister's Office wants Chu Wujiang to help persuade Duke Liguo, and considering the contribution of this tax law, he will naturally have to make concessions.

Fang Wanjun lost a little reputation, and the case was allowed to move forward. The one that was truly embarrassed was not the Prime Minister's Office.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"I will obey the Prime Minister's orders."

"I will take my leave now."

The Prime Minister shouted quickly:

"Champion Marquis, wait a minute."

"There is also the case of the Demon Palace. I don't know much about it. I wonder if the Marquis has any new information?"

The Demon Palace attempted to assassinate the Champion Marquis in Tianjing, which was enough to shock the world. According to the news from Fang Wanjun:
“If it weren’t for the extraordinary strength of the Champion Marquis, an ordinary Yuanshen strongman would have been seriously injured.”

Such an assassination was enough to make the people of Tianjing panic.

Apart from Chu Wujiang, perhaps only Fang Xiaoran could withstand such an assassination.

Compared with this incident, overturning the verdict is worthless.

Therefore, the Prime Minister could overturn the verdict without any psychological burden.

Even if the verdict is overturned, no one will care.

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"Have!"

The Prime Minister immediately asked:

"Let's try to explain it."

Chu Wujiang thought for a moment and slowly replied:

"The Demon God Palace seems to want to obtain my blood. This may be related to the Demon God Palace's secret method."

"Next, all the geniuses, please be careful of threats."

Fang Xiaoran's face turned pale with anger. He quickly controlled his expression and pretended to be calm as he explained:
"The Demon Palace transformed humans into demons, and many ancient demons became extinct. On the contrary, the blood of demons is preserved in the human race."

"Maybe it has something to do with this."

"Could it be that the Champion Marquis has the blood of a divine beast?"

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"I don't have any blood of a divine beast, I only have a pure Yang immortal body."

The Prime Minister's face twitched a little. You have a fortune that far exceeds that of a peerless genius, so you should stop pretending to have a Pure Yang Immortal Body.

But he still set the tone:

"In this case, I will ask the Six Gates to investigate the bloodline and remind the Tianjiao of Tianjing to be careful."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"So good."

"With the Prime Minister in charge, I have nothing to worry about."

After Chu Wujiang finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Originally, the Prime Minister wanted to keep Chu Wujiang for a quick meal, but Chu Wujiang said that he had something to do at home and hurried back to his mansion.

After all, he had already accumulated all the luck points and didn't want to delay any longer.

If there's anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow.

The prime minister had no choice but to escort him out of the mansion himself. The prime minister looked at Chu Wujiang's receding figure and immediately ordered:

[Xiao Ran, go to the Heavenly Prison first.]

Fang Xiaoran immediately understood and said:

[Father, do you want to bring Fusheng back? ]

The Prime Minister nodded and said:
[I heard it clearly just now. During these days, Fusheng must not see any side of Guanjun Hou.]

[Now is the critical moment of the struggle between Confucianism and Taoism, no accidents can happen. ]

[Also, you should ask Mr. Gu what is going on. ]

Why does this Demon Palace want to collect the blood of the Champion Marquis?

This is not in line with what was agreed upon.

Fang Xiaoran quickly replied:
[Yes, father.]

On the way Chu Wujiang returned to his mansion, there were strong winds and heavy snow.

It was really cold today.

The streets were sparsely populated, as if a solemn and murderous atmosphere had descended upon Tianjing.
