Being an official in a fantasy world is a dangerous job, because you never know if a strongman will look displeased with you and come right over to take your head off.
Especially in this world, there is no dynastic luck to protect you. Killing officials is no different from killing ordinary people. You will not suffer any backlash. Being an official is even more dangerous.
However, although the danger is great, it does not mean that life is not guaranteed.
Every imperial official has a Daoguo, the ninth rank is the land, the eighth rank is the Kitchen God, the seventh rank is the mountain god or river god, and the sixth rank is the city god. Officials are the locals of the place where they are located, and the place under their jurisdiction is their divine domain. Within the divine domain, they can suppress the enemy, and they can also use the power of the territory to fight against the enemy.
Even if you can't defeat him, you can still escape at any time. The earth-like Dao Fruit can be said to be the first choice for officials.
Moreover, with Daoguo in his body, he can listen to the demands of the people under his jurisdiction at any time, arrive as quickly as possible when needed, thoroughly implement the duties of a parent official, and can also perform Daoguo by calming the people. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
However, if the governance is not good, public dissatisfaction will boil, and the progress of the officials' Tao-Guo integration will be reduced, and even backlash will occur. The court can also use this to judge whether the officials are competent.
It can be said that Daoguo is an extremely critical link in the Chinese imperial court system.
These are known to the world, and are also known to Jiang Li and others.
What they didn't know was that Gongsun Qingyue had the ability to order the county magistrate. The jade seal in her hand glowed with clear light, as if there was an invisible power, which frightened Ren Zihe so much that he did not dare to raise his head.
Jiang Li could even use the Emperor's Qi Watching Technique to observe that Ren Zihe's Qi was weak and had no resistance at all. His power was controlled by the Jade Seal.
'Gongsun's soft rice is more delicious than expected. '
This was Jiang Li's first thought. He once again saw the power of the Gongsun family.
'There is a pitfall in the imperial court. Officials are so powerless in front of the real superiors. '
This was Jiang Li's second thought.
With the support of such officials, it is no wonder that the Zhou Dynasty has been able to maintain stability for hundreds of years without major chaos.
The gap between practitioners and non-practitioners is huge, and practitioners within the system are still restricted and cannot disobey the superiors. In this way, the superiors, the cultivators (officials) under their control, and the non-practitioners (commoners) are divided. The class is stable. Unless a shocking change occurs, the Great Zhou Dynasty will continue.
Gongsun Qingyue didn't know about Jiang Li's desire to eat soft rice; Gongsun Qingyue didn't know about his speculations about the imperial court's achievements.
She just held the jade seal, pointed at the rain clouds that were still lingering in the distance, and asked, "Do you know where that rain cloud is located, and how the rain has been lately?"
"this······"
Ren Zihe looked into the distance and replied hesitantly: "Although it is considered an area under the jurisdiction of this county, it has never been inhabited. The official did not pay much attention to it. He only remembered that there have been heavy rains in the past few days, and the weather is uncertain."
"How many days, how many days is it?" Gongsun Qingyue asked in a deep voice.
As soon as her voice lowered, she had an unconcealable majesty, not like a Taoist disciple, but more like a noble person from Tianhuang. Qi Changsheng, who came out from behind, couldn't help but feel awe-struck when he saw this.
"Junior brother, this Gongsun family's soft rice doesn't look easy to eat. You'd better be careful." Qi Changsheng said secretly.
By now, Qi Changsheng had vaguely guessed about Gongsun Qingyue's identity.
With such status and power coupled with such strong majesty, if Jiang Li is served this bowl of rice, then the future... Well, it's hard to say.
"Senior brother, there is no need to worry. What junior brother is best at is eating hard and soft food." Jiang Li replied through a message.
She is stronger than me and I am stronger. It is hard to say who will be superior and who will be inferior in the future.
Magistrate Jingyun was not as bold as Jiang Li, but he was not bad at all. Under Gongsun Qingyue's momentum, Ren Zihe could still reply calmly: "It should be four days. "
"For four days, heavy rains were confined to one place and appeared from time to time. Don't you have any doubts?"
Gongsun Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a sharp look. The clear light of the jade seal in her hand shone forward, and a talisman immediately appeared on Ren Zihe's heavenly spirit, with red light overflowing from it.
As the clear light changes, this talisman has a faint tendency to fall.
Ren Zihe's Qi was suppressed to the extreme and he became completely like an ordinary person. Looking at the situation, if the talisman really fell down, his condition would definitely not be good.
"The official is indeed suspicious, but because there have been bandits in the county recently, and people have been robbed from time to time, the official is busy dealing with it, but for a moment he forgot to check for abnormalities here." Ren Zihe's power was suppressed, but he could still Answer calmly.
And what he said was reasonable and well-founded, but it wasn't considered dereliction of duty.
Gongsun Qingyue seemed to believe his words, as she withdrew the light and the talisman disappeared.
She ordered: "There is a demon causing trouble here. Go quickly and inform the Shenxing Taibao, tell him to inform the county government, and ask the head of the Shenxing Taibao of this county to come to see me."
"yes."
Ren Zihe bowed again and gradually sank into the ground in the white air.
With the speed of being within his own divine domain, Ren Zihe should be able to find the Divine Walker Taibao within two quarters of an hour. At most, tonight, the local leader of the Divine Walking Taibao should be here, and the county government will be here. We will gather some people to come here tomorrow.
The premise is that everything goes well.
"Junior brother, what do you think?" Gongsun Qingyue turned back and looked at Jiang Li.
She knew that Jiang Li had the ability to almost spy on people's hearts. The previous suppression of Ren Zihe's Qi was actually to facilitate Jiang Li's Emperor's Qi Reading Technique, making it easier for Jiang Li to observe Ren Zihe's Qi.
"Although he is not frightened, he is generally the same on the outside. If his fright did not appear when he saw Cao Yuanlong, it should be believable." Jiang Li looked at the prisoners who were taken out not far behind him.
Even when his power was completely suppressed by Qing Guang, Ren Zihe was not as surprised as when he saw Cao Yuanlong.
Gongsun Qingyue heard the meaning behind the words, and was both angry and convinced, "As expected, since you want to do such an invisible thing, you will not fail to take care of your surroundings. I actually prefer to believe those people Banditry is the Taiping Sect's method, but the reality is ultimately unsatisfactory."
The presence of bandits was actually enough for the county magistrate to ignore this minor anomaly, but the Taiping Cult went even further and directly turned the magistrate into one of their own.
Such behavior actually revealed an ominous meaning.
Even the imperial officials took action, the Taiping Sect had a grand plan.
'I'm also very annoyed. Why do you think the Jiang family's ancestral land is over there in Yongzhou? Jiang Li felt helpless when he realized that the Taiping Sect had a big plot.
The branch families of the Jiang family are actually thinking of joining together. Many branch families have been moving to Yongzhou, because the ancestral land of the Jiang family, Jiangshui, is in Yongzhou!
I was upset and didn’t know what was going on, but I finished the third update.
