"Qiu Ping, the uncle of the Bashui River, has seen the Haiping mansion."
Qiu Ping released his breath, an illusory river flowed beside him, and he stepped into the City God's Blessed Land.
Although the City God's Temple in the outside world seems to have only three small houses, in the underworld, there can be a continuous underworld city.
"Ah... it's Qiu Killing God who is here."
In the Brilliant City God's Blessed Land, a vermilion figure turned into a middle-aged man with a pale face, looking at him in his forties.
He was about to bow and ask questions, but when he suddenly heard Qiu Ping announcing his home address, he was shocked and wanted to close the blessed place and hide.
But it was already a step too late. Qiu Ping appeared beside him and grabbed his arm.
"I've met...I've met Lord Qiu."
He, the City God of Haiping Prefecture, was also a scholar. Although he had a bad feeling at the moment, he still maintained his courtesy.
Qiu Ping's reputation has long been spread throughout Shinto. Although he has always been known as a genius, his mischief in the Cao Movement a few days ago has caused the entire Cao Movement to be shaken. I don't know how many people have spoken out to impeach him.
Haiping Mansion and Caohe are right next to each other, so of course he has heard of this man's evil reputation.
"Hahaha, you don't need to be polite."
Qiu Ping stepped forward, but he was secretly happy. This feeling of being recognized by people wherever he went was really not bad.
I recall that a few years ago, he had to be respectful to the county god, but he didn't expect that he would one day become successful.
"Sir Qiu, you are in charge of water transportation, how come you have time to come to my place?"
The City God of Haiping Prefecture had a bitter look on his face and whispered tentatively.
"The thing is like this, King Mingling ordered me to rectify the water transportation, but now the water transportation in the Daqian Dynasty is in chaos, and local forces are intertwined. They use this water transportation to make money wantonly, making the people miserable."
"I want to find out the crux of the problem in various places, so I would like to ask your government to secondment one or two wandering gods to help me collect some evidence of the local forces' misdeeds."
"Of course, if there is any trouble with this matter, I will think of some other solutions."
Qiu Ping didn't hide anything, so he spoke directly.
The City God of Haiping Prefecture wanted to refuse directly, but Qiu Ping stretched out his hand in the void, and a dark crack jumped on his fingertips like a tumbled rope.
Sometimes it turns into a hole, sometimes it tears apart the space.
The terrifying spatial turbulence sends chills down one's spine.
"Ahem, these are just trivial matters, not troublesome at all. I am in charge of a city. In this thousand-mile territory, nothing can be hidden from my eyes and ears. The relevant documents in my yamen will be copied by the deity. Just take it away.”
Haiping Chenghuang immediately straightened his face and spoke.
The city god is in charge of the rise and fall of a place, and he knows exactly what each household has done.
"In that case, that's the best, but it's too troublesome to copy them. I'll take those documents away and read them for a few days, and then return them to you when I'm done with them."
"You should send someone to the Governor's Water Transport Department to pick it up when the time comes. It's the place where the warehouse was burned to ashes the day before yesterday. You should know."
Qiu Ping also became happy. This trip was smoother than he imagined. Sure enough, we are all Shinto people, and Shinto people help Shinto people.
"I know that place, but Lord Qiu, we gods cannot interfere in the affairs of mortals at will. Even if we have evidence of mortal crimes, we can only let the underworld judge them after they die."
"If the punishment is done privately, I'm afraid it will cause resentment."
The City God of Haiping Prefecture was complaining in his heart. He felt that this little loach must not have held it in well.
"I have a good idea about this matter. Even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with you."
Qiu Ping had directly manifested his sacredness in Caohe, but now he only used documents and information from some places. Even if it caused resentment in the end, his divine fire could eliminate it.
After hearing what was said, the City God of Haiping Prefecture could only bite the bullet and agreed first.
…
"Stop standing around and come over to work."
Qiuping's scale space was filled with documents, so Shi Shiran left the Haiping Prefecture City God's Temple.
He waved his hand and a pile of jade tablets was piled on top of Lao Gao.
"What?"
Jing Xinghuai looked at the empty ground, but saw nothing.
"I forgot that mortals cannot touch the things of the gods."
Qiu Ping flicked his finger, and the space in front of him trembled, and a nearly transparent force instantly shrouded it. In that space, there was a gloomy air, which made people feel a chill in their hearts for no reason.
Jing Xinghuai and others soon discovered that a pile of jade slabs slowly appeared on the ground.
They looked at the candles lit in the room, but they couldn't feel any warmth, but instead felt a bit cold to the bone.
This is naturally the blessed land of the underworld that Qiu Ping opened up casually.
With his current spatial attainments, he can intercept a section of space at any time and transform it into attributes of different worlds.
Everyone was immersed in this quiet paradise of the underworld. Under Qiu Ping's guidance, they put the jade plate on their heads, and a large amount of information was immediately transmitted to their brains.
All of this is evidence of local powerful forces causing chaos.
Either they hid it in underground cellars or put it in dark rooms. Although they burned the water transportation account books, they had accumulated such a large amount of wealth, so naturally they would not be clean in other aspects.
It goes without saying that officials and businessmen colluded and embezzled the court's money.
And some powerful people have been operating in the local area for hundreds of years. Although they are not as good as the previous wealthy families in raising private soldiers, it is not uncommon to kill a lot of people. It can even be said to be commonplace.
Not to mention, more than a year ago, a case occurred in the Dashan family that week.
It turned out that Zhou Dashan wanted to build a garden, but the garden would occupy the paddy fields of the Asi family in the same village.
If you pay to buy these paddy fields, it will cost twenty taels if you can't keep them all.
In order to save this money, Zhou Dashan slandered the boy from the Asi family for eating his own old goose.
After several threats, Ah Si went crazy and took his son to the City God's Temple.
He cried to the City God and the villagers, saying that his child had been wronged. Although his family was not rich, they had always done things according to their duties, but they had never thought of stealing.
But the others just watched and laughed, but they joked that they didn't believe it.
Ah Si also had a fierce personality. In anger, he cut open the baby's stomach with a knife, but only found some undigested bran in his stomach.
Seeing that people were killed, everyone dispersed angrily.
And from beginning to end, the City God never came out to make the decision with him.
From then on, Ah Si became really crazy. Zhou Dashan also took advantage of this opportunity to occupy the unowned land, built a garden, and saved a full twenty taels.
Qiu Ping felt he had dyslexia, so he didn't read these documents, but when he overheard Jing Xinghuai telling him some stories about the place, he became angry.
That old turtle, Haiping City God, is indifferent to this kind of thing?
This god's ability to do this is very different from that of clay sculptures and wood carvings.
He regretted not beating that old guy before.
"Jing Xinghuai, please read these Shinto documents carefully for me. As long as there is a loss of life, don't let me go. Those who have done bad things, I will copy them from every household."
Qiu Ping has always been a moody person. He used to be a little forbearing when his strength was low, but now he can't stand it.
How to say that sentence: When my strength was low, I was groveling. Now that my strength has improved, I am still groveling.
Then my strength has not improved in vain.
"This is natural. Even if we are confronting the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I must clean up the problems in this place."
Jing Xinghuai nodded heavily.
"That Zhou Dashan left to me, I will kill him with thunder."
Qiu Ping could only feel his teeth itching with hatred. If he could use the power of space to chop people into nothingness with one strike, it would be painless and it would be too easy.
On the contrary, his thunder magic power is half-baked. He can't kill someone with one or two strikes, but he can always succeed with a few more strikes.
Jing Xinghuai looked at Qiu Ping, and he always felt that there was something human about this deity.
Although he didn't know what other gods were like, he thought this one was an anomaly among Shinto.
Qiu Ping didn't notice Jing Xinghuai's eyes. He was thinking about how to establish supervision over mortals.
A mere six-path reincarnation has limited deterrent effect on the human world. Many people feel that they are dead, so what is the use of their futile next life?
If there is no deterrent from this world, even if a person does bad things, he can still live a long and stable life. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
Qiu Ping felt the urgency to establish a Shinto supervision system even more firmly in his heart.
Maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to complete this matter.
However, he may not be able to do it himself. For this matter, he needs an ally.
Qiu Ping was thinking in his heart. While he was thinking, a ball of thunder condensed into a ball in his hand and was tossed around.
…
"Crash."
Jing Xinghuai had a cold face, holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand, and behind him was a wave of naval forces.
These naval forces were broken up and reorganized by him, and were led by the emperor's personal soldiers from the Zhenfu Division. Their combat effectiveness may still be poor, but their numbers are large and they look very intimidating.
Now, he mobilized a thousand people to directly surround the Shen family, the largest powerful family in Haiping Mansion.
The master of the Shen family is known as Shen Bancheng. Although there are no officials above the sixth rank in the family, there are many people in the family who serve as the head of the sixth department or as an assistant official in various counties in Haiping Prefecture.
He also runs a large amount of business and is very strong locally.
"Master Jing, what do you mean?"
It was obvious that Mr. Shen recognized Jing Xinghuai. Seeing so many people surrounding his mansion, he hurriedly walked out of the mansion.
There were dozens of guards beside him, but compared to the troops commanded by Jing Xinghuai, they looked ridiculous.
"Shen Maojun, in the 21st year of Xianping, because of business competition with others, secretly sent people to rob his goods, kill his life, and sink him in the Xun River."
"In the 24th year of Xianping, he killed a maid in his family and threw his body in a mass grave outside the northwest of the city."
“In the first year of Taisho, he embezzled 300 acres of fertile land in Xiyan Village and secretly instructed the gangsters to beat villager Xu to death.”
"Shen Yuan, the second brother of the Shen family, organized the [Fore Tian Alliance] and plundered 697,215 taels of property. The account book is in the dark room of your study.
"Shen Yuan secretly expanded the [Bitian Alliance], conspired to rebel, and attacked Chaoguan. His crime is unforgivable."
Jing Xing recited a series of crimes against the Shen family.
At first, Shen Maojun's face was calm, but as he read more and more, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
There are many things here that only a few of his closest confidants know.
And only he knows where those account books are.
But when Jing Xing recited it fondly, it was as if he were watching over his family treasures, which made people shudder.
"What nonsense are you talking about? These are all fabrications and nonsense!"
Shen Maojun spoke sharply, but his voice trembled badly.
"Really, then the crossbows and armors you purchased privately in the cellar in the south courtyard of the city were also fabricated?"
Jing Xinghuai sneered. He originally thought that the Shen family was just an ordinary wealthy family, at most a little rich.
Unexpectedly, a big fish was dug out. The water bandits who roamed the water a few days ago were secretly raised by the Shen family.
Shen Maojun's face suddenly changed several times, from livid to pale.
For other crimes, even if he is discovered, at most he will be fined some money, and he can handle it.
But whether it is forming the [Tetian Alliance] or hiding armor privately, it is a major crime of rebellion!
He secretly regretted that he had only raised a small group of water bandits to do shady things for him. Later, under the influence of his nephew, he expanded the scale of the water bandits and purchased weapons and equipment.
"Go in and search!"
Jing Xinghuai looked at Shen Maojun's face and just sneered, while the navy officers and soldiers behind him, led by the guards of the Zhenfu Division, poured into the Shen family residence like a tide.
The Shen family still wanted to stop him, but they were knocked to the ground in an instant.
These places are powerful and powerful, but they are far inferior to those of aristocratic families.
When Taishi God was in power, the aristocratic family was almost an independent kingdom.
Because they already know where the evidence is hidden, but they just deduce the process based on the answers.
Not long after, large amounts of property, jewelry, accounting books, and even a skeleton were dug out from under the locust tree in the backyard from various parts of the Shen family.
"The evidence is conclusive. The entire Shen family intends to rebel. Let me take them all into custody and wait for the emperor's fate."
Jing Xinghuai ordered loudly.
He was an imperial envoy. Although he could act expediently, he couldn't really kill these people.
However, the evidence collected was too sufficient. Even if some people said that his methods were cruel, they could not refute these solid evidences.
The best outcome for the Shen family might be to wipe out the three clans.
"Click."
And on this sunny day, a bolt of thunder flashed out of thin air and landed on Shen Maojun's head.
When Shen Maojun was in despair, the hair on his head immediately exploded, and all his beard and hair were spread out.
And his whole body trembled for a few times before passing out.
"This kind of evil person should be struck to death by lightning."
Qiu Ping was beside him, muttering quietly.
He discovered that although there is a thunder department in this world, the thunder department in the heaven is only responsible for thunder punishment in the spiritual world, and then has the function of adding vitality to the human world.
But there are few legends about someone who did something bad and was struck to death by lightning.
Qiu Ping felt that he should add this law to the world.
