While Chu Chen and Long Nu were enjoying tea and talking about Taoism, huge waves arose in the underground world of Yunlin County.
The Yunwu Ghost City is not unique to one force, but the demonic forces around Yunlin participate together, working together to exploit and plunder the people of the county, and share the feast.
A Yunwu Ghost City stronghold was inexplicably and suddenly destroyed by a mysterious monk, which caused a sensation in the entire Yunlin underground world. Countless cows, ghosts, and snakes were in danger, and everyone was in danger.
Yunwu Shuifu.
Empress Yunzhi was practicing in seclusion, adhering to her spirit and refining her spirit, when some soldiers and crab generals came to report in a hurry and disturbed her pure practice.
Astonishingly, it was a group of Yunlin ghosts and gods seeking to see them.
They are secretive and only send incarnations, no one shows their true form.
Lady Yunzhi was surprised when she saw the posture of the ghosts and gods.
"What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
Some ghosts and gods hurriedly reported:
"Empress~ Something bad has happened. A stronghold in the Yunwu Black Market was taken over by a mysterious monk today."
Empress Yunzhi frowned and said displeasedly:
"It's no big deal if it's done. Could it be that you were involved? If you were, why would you come to me? Once the matter is exposed, no one can protect you."
All the ghosts and gods hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands. The city god was sincere and hurriedly explained.
"Empress~ We didn't participate. Even if you gave us ten courages, we wouldn't dare to participate!"
"Yes, yes, the little god swears to God that I was not involved in this. Hooking up with demons is a serious crime and is punishable by death. How dare we do that?"
"If we were involved, how could we dare to come and beg you..."
...
All the ghosts and gods swore to each other and broke off their relationship one by one. .
Lady Yunzhi looked around and saw that the words and deeds of all the ghosts and gods did not seem to be hypocrites. She understood in her heart and said:
"So, you bought incense for Shengmin to worship?"
All the ghosts and gods smiled and acquiesced.
Lady Yunzhi looked at all the ghosts and gods with annoyance, and said with anger:
"You have crossed the line. Once found out, the Immortal Court will not let you off lightly."
The faces of all the ghosts and gods turned pale, and they were worried and argued in low voices.
"Mother, we didn't have direct contact with them, but we pretended to be incarnations. It should be... okay..."
Empress Yunzhi shook her head and said disdainfully:
"The biggest devil in people's hearts is luck. You think you can get away without contacting the monster. Paper cannot contain the fire. The sky is vast and there are no leaks. You are too greedy."
When the ghosts and gods heard this, their eyes were full of fear and worry.
"Empress, we always respect you a lot and make offerings to you every year. You can't ignore us."
All the ghosts and gods were anxious.
Empress Yunzhi snorted coldly and said: "I am not unloyal. A few days ago, the new county governor took office. I stepped forward to suppress the Chu governor for you. Then, in order to win over him, I even gave him a daughter. I The palace has already done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous."
"this..."
All the ghosts and gods stopped talking.
Seeing the complicated colors in the eyes of all the ghosts and gods, Lady Yunzhi said with complicated eyes:
"Hey, I can only blame you for discovering it too late and indulging you. If you are in trouble, I will have to suffer. No matter what, I will try my best to mediate for you."
"Thank you so much for your kindness!"
All the ghosts and gods breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lady Yunzhi didn't let go.
They had no direct connection with the demon, but only bought some incense of unknown origin to offer as offerings. They were suspected of "selling stolen goods" for the demon. There was a huge room for mediation in this crime.
If there is a fifth-grade god who speaks for them and smooths the relationship.
Even if something happens in the future, they can take it lightly.
Empress Yunzhi glanced at everyone with a rather disgusted expression and asked impatiently:
"I am in retreat today and don't know anything about this matter? Who destroyed the Black Mist Ghost City? Have you received the news?"
A ghost quickly said:
Valley reclamation
"Ms. Qi, the little god has inquired about it. There was a fierce battle in the dense forest outside a stronghold. All the monsters and monsters in the market disappeared, as if they had been wiped out by the strong. Only ordinary people escaped."
"According to the people who escaped, they met an old immortal who was a chivalrous and righteous man who performed justice for heaven."
"Some people saw this old man-looking monk talking to the head of the stronghold. It is said that that person was not an immortal official from the Immortal Courtyard, but a wandering monk who came from Youzhou and accidentally bumped into the Black Mist Ghost City. They acted heroically and exterminated them."
...
Some ghosts and gods will report the news to Empress Yunzhi.
Empress Yunzhi pondered for a while and said:
"Is the news reliable?"
One of the ghosts and gods said: "Mother, it's reliable. The little god cast the spell himself and communicated with a commoner in his dream. He saw it with his own eyes. The little god dares to vouch for it. He was not deceived by others. Everything was seen with his own eyes."
Empress Yunzhi nodded slightly:
"Since it was not the immortal officials of the Immortal Court who took action, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The demon is treacherous and works strictly. If a stronghold is swept away, not much information will be revealed."
"Well, I hope so!"
All the ghosts and gods were melancholy and sighing, not showing any sign of relief, as if there were divine generals hanging above their heads, ready to be chopped off at any moment.
Madam Yunzhi guessed the thoughts of all the ghosts and gods, shook her head, and didn't try to persuade them.
Feeling blessed, Lady Yunzhi thought of the newly appointed county governor and asked:
"What is that Chu Duguan doing these days?"
"I'd like to report to you, the Governor of Chu has been staying in Yunlin City for the past few days. He only appears in his residence and the Governor's study. He lives in seclusion and doesn't take care of much. He has attracted a lot of criticism from the County Ghost and God Department."
"No, this Chu Du Guan went out on inspection today, and I don't know where he went to work..."
"In my opinion, this Chu Du Guan is an ascetic cultivator and is not good at governing the place. Thanks to our nervousness before..."
...
After a while, all the ghosts and gods left one after another.
In the Shuifu Palace, Lady Yunzhi frowned and fell into deep thought.
What a coincidence.
On weekdays, nothing happened in Yunwu Ghost City, but as soon as the Chu Duguan left the city, something happened immediately.
I don't know if it's a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Lady Yunzhi put her hand deep into her sleeve, took out a colorful shell, put it to her mouth, and spoke with her spiritual consciousness:
"Recall immediately!"
"Recall quickly after hearing about it"
After half a stick of incense.
Lady Yunzhi was playing with the shells in her hands, her expression solemn.
"Why can't I contact you..."
...
Not long after, Chu Chen arrived at Yunlin County and went straight into the Du Guan's study.
The two deputy directors, Yun and Lin, came to ask for instructions respectfully as usual.
The two of them worked conscientiously and managed all the affairs of the Ghosts and Gods Department in an orderly manner, and did not show any abnormality.
Chu Chen couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Qingquan Sanren also came to Du Guan's study to ask for instructions. However, he did not mention much about the affairs in the Ghosts and Gods Department, but asked:
"Guardian Chu, will you gain anything from your inspection today?"
Chu Chen nodded slightly:
"The harvest has been quite fruitful. The governor of Yunlin County has vaguely found out that the fortune of the country and the power of the people have weakened. If you don't know it, you will be shocked. Loan lending is common among the people. Every rich and powerful person with some wealth will lend money and exploit it." It is no wonder that the destiny of the country, the fate of the country, and the power of the mind of all the people are not weakened."
Qingquan Sanren was startled and overjoyed:
"Guan Chudu has a keen eye and is able to discern every detail. He is worthy of being a young leader sent by the superiors. I have misunderstood you. It turns out that you have not been idle these days."
"In charge of the administration, I am reporting on the Yun and Lin families. They are the source of trouble in Yunlin County. The loan lending trend started from these two families. Local tyrants who are both from the same human race exploit and plunder the people, and they are often more powerful than the demons and gods."
"From the perspective of a poor man, we should use thunderous means to plow the court and clear out the holes, vigorously suppress and punish, in order to rectify the world and return the world to a clear and peaceful world!"
