After the master left, Wen Zhongguang stood there and meditated for a while, then turned around and walked through the garden path, winding around, and came to an exquisite wooden house.
"Squeak..."
The portal opens automatically and slowly when there is no wind.
A slightly older voice came out.
"The county magistrate actually has free time today and comes to talk to the old Taoist about mysteries and Dharma?"
"That's not the case. We are really encountering a difficult situation and want to ask the Taoist priest to go there in person..." Wen Zhongguang looked slightly embarrassed. It was not easy to ask for help. However, after raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while, no matter how hard it is to ask for help, it would be easy to ask for help. Have to speak.
For more than ten years, he has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, looking for treasures and medicinal materials everywhere, and assisting the old Taoist in condensing elixirs to refine evil spirits. Now the opponent's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has already completed the evil refining, and he will be able to become a great monk in the near future.
When Dao Zuo met, he was still a penniless scholar, and the other party was also a desolate old Taoist who was seriously injured and waiting to die. Now, one is the magistrate of Mu Shou Fang, and the other is a Taoist priest who has stepped into the realm of a great monk. build.
It can be said that both sides are opportunities for each other.
Everyone be well.
Who owes whom more?
In Wen Zhongguang's opinion, the old Taoist priest still owes him more.
So many treasures of heaven and earth were fed to this old Taoist priest, and even helped him cultivate two capable disciples. Seeing that the other party could live longer and live a second life, to be honest, he felt the same in his heart. Extremely envious.
It's a pity that he himself has no talent for training, and his children are also dull. This opportunity can only stop at him, and it will not benefit his descendants.
"Are you going to deal with that Captor Zhang? I heard that all the Zhao family's wealth fell into his hands, and now the White Dragon Society is very prosperous."
The old Taoist priest opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed through his cloudy eyes. His body, which had been sitting as dry as a log, had become clear and natural when he stood up, as if the wooden house had merged into one. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't see it at all. There was no way to notice that he was still standing in the house.
"Your Majesty the County Lord may not know something. The old Taoist has been wandering around in the near future recently and discovered that the head catcher is not as simple as it seems. His energy and blood are as strong as a furnace, and his soul is scorching. He is probably also a strong player at the peak innate level. With the old Taoist In the same realm..."
At this point, Old Taoist Sangmu paused, knowing that Magistrate Wen understood what he meant.
Although I have received many benefits over the years, my path has been smooth.
But these training resources are not free.
Wen Zhongguang didn't know how much effort the old Taoist priest put into protecting his family and life, but he didn't bother to tell him in detail.
With Wen Zhongguang's way of dealing with people, he secretly offended many people.
These include attacks and frame-ups by colleagues, assassinations by martial arts masters, and even secret invasions by demons and monsters.
With the old Taoist Sangmu in charge, Wen Zhongguang not only did not hurt a single hair, but everything went smoothly. Isn't it easy to put in all the thought?
"I also know that this is a merciless request. That head catcher is very powerful and extremely difficult to deal with. But there is no need for the Taoist priest to confront him personally. The person currently in charge of the White Dragon Society is just a twelve or thirteen year old Little girl, Taoist priest, don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Moreover, according to Wen’s information, Dongting Water Mansion secretly issued an order to reward the capture of a golden carp. For this reason, the Qingyu Gang also killed some people at Zhang Captou’s place. Master..."
"You mean?"
The old Taoist priest originally planned to make a move for Wen Zhongguang, and then the two would be reconciled. His white clouds and clear breeze would always be at ease, and he would not be bound by human kindness and righteousness.
Take action once, and only once.
After all, he couldn't do more risky things. Once his true abilities were exposed, this place would no longer be a safe place.
At this time, when I heard Wen Zhongguang's call to the Water Mansion, my state of mind, which had long been practiced to be still and without waves, started to stir slightly.
"Just as the Taoist Master guessed, the leader of the White Dragon Society, the girl named Xiaolian, according to my investigation, her identity is a mystery, and her strength has improved very strangely... Moreover, there is one more thing that cannot be hidden from anyone. .
Three months ago, Zhang Bailing bought a golden carp. Since then, his family has had a little girl, and his own strength has also begun to improve by leaps and bounds... No one will believe it if there is nothing fishy about it. "
Wen Zhongguang smiled. He knew that the old Taoist priest was tempted. Moreover, he did not ask him to come out to do something this time. The other party really wanted to do something. "If we win this girl, what materials will Taoist Priest Ninggang need?" , isn’t it so easy to get it? The world’s richest man, could it be the Dragon King? Although Dongting Dragon Palace is just a side branch, that little dragon has been operating for a long time and should have many rare treasures. Taoist priest doesn’t want to have a hand in it? "
"That's it, the county magistrate is interested."
Taoist Sang Mu looked happy and his voice became much softer.
The reason why he followed Wen Zhongguang from north to south and protected him well was not entirely because of kindness.
Most of the time, it's because this person knows how to behave.
Whether it is the annual offerings or daily enjoyment of life, everything is taken care of properly, making people happy.
If nothing else, this wooden house looks very simple, but the luxurious furnishings, the spices that gather and nourish the soul, the tea with a clear mind, the wine brewed for a hundred years, and the rare jade lady in ten years, it is It's not something ordinary people can get.
When practicing the journey of immortality, you can eat the wind and drink the dew, and be ruthless and unfeeling; you can also enjoy it as much as you want, getting the best of both worlds.
In the past two years, although the offerings from the county magistrate have remained the same, the training resources have been unable to meet Taoist Sangmu's needs.
Condensation is no better than refining evil.
With each level of practice, the resources required become more expensive and harder to find.
Therefore, after completing the evil refining process, Taoist Sangmu thought about leaving more than once, but he had not yet made up his mind.
I only hope that with the help of Wen Zhongguang, I can get the opportunity to break through as soon as possible.
This thought is not an extravagant wish.
Opportunity is something that is hard to find and hard to find. Sometimes it just comes.
No, when people sit at home, opportunities come. The summons from the Water Mansion is nothing. The treasures rewarded by the Lord of the Water Mansion are the real good things.
Although I don’t know much about the changes in Dongting Dragon Palace Water Mansion.
However, as a monk, you don't just close your ears and eyes and don't know anything. Something happened in the Dragon Palace. Lord Qingyun took over and sent troops to surround and suppress the Yuanshuifu people. He was still aware of such a major event.
From the power of the dragon, Taoist Sangmu has no ability and can only watch helplessly. However, if he exerts a little strength on the outside and gets the appreciation of a great soul demon like Lord Qingyun, as long as a little treasure leaks out from the cracks of the opponent's fingers. , the mere Ninggang level is not a level at all.
Even the road to immortality for the soul is not impossible to hope for.
Thinking of this, Taoist Sangmu's heart was beating fast, knowing that this was a good opportunity.
"Then there's Taoist Lao."
Wen Zhongguang smiled and held his hands, thinking that I am not afraid of your advanced cultivation, I am just afraid that you have no need.
As long as there is demand and desire, no matter how strong the master is, he can still be at my mercy?
Taoist Sangmu also had a smile on his face: "It's such a small matter, it will be easy to handle once the county magistrate removes Zhang Bailing's position as a police officer... No matter how strong that person is, there are Shepanshan inner disciples Feng Guang and Qing The elder of the fishing gang hall, and with the support of the veteran, it will be very difficult for him to escape even if he wants to."
Hearing this, Wen Zhongguang's eyes twitched heavily.
The other party is trying to wake him up. Even though the old Taoist priest is sitting in the back garden, he actually knows everything.
I help you because you deserve help.
Don't make any bad plans, otherwise, everything is at your fingertips, which can protect you from wealth or make you lose everything.
"That's very good."
Magistrate Wen nodded in agreement, his eyes were sincere, and he seemed to have no extra thoughts at all.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them very satisfied.
…
"Mr. Boshan, it's not that Chen doesn't respect the order of the county magistrate. It's true that the battle with the Jade Phosphorous Snake that day damaged his foundation. Now he is seriously injured and it is difficult to control the overall situation."
Facing the county government master Boshan, Chen Zian had a gloomy face. He coughed a few times and frowned, as if time was running out.
small book booth
"This? In the police room..."
"It's up to you, report back to the county magistrate and say that it's difficult for Chen to take charge and I won't stand in the way. As long as the five hundred city defense troops are not moved, the appointment and removal of personnel in the police station, and the assignment of tasks, I will no longer interfere. "
Chen Zian sighed and picked up the tea cup.
Boshan resigned and left the county captain's house. He looked back and got on the carriage. A coldness flashed in his eyes and he said in a deep voice: "Go back and report to the county magistrate... At this time, it is already too late to stay out of the matter." Ah, Chen Zian is so unwise."
The carriage started slowly and went straight back to the county government office.
Watching the carriage leave, Chen Zian supported his "weak" body, holding on to the ancient screen, and slowly stood up straight. His body was straight, his eyes were sharp and sharp, and there was no trace of illness.
"Ma'am, what do you think?"
A woman in a green brocade robe slowly approached beside him, with a slight smile on her lips: "Wen Zhongguang is a man of great ambition and talent, and his actions tend to be mysterious and profound. He is very unscrupulous. I think this time, he not only wants to trap Zhang Bailing to death. , and you want to take advantage of the opportunity to win over your husband. You have a really big appetite, and you’re not afraid of being stuffed to death?"
"You think so too, that's right."
Chen Zian sneered and said: "Because of the Black Tiger Gang, Wen Zhongguang sees me as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. However, my husband has always acted carefully and never gave him any excuses... We all have selfish motives anyway, and no one dares to expose them." The lid is fine, but..."
Speaking of this, Chen County Lieutenant was a little annoyed: "I hunted geese all day long, but my eyes were pecked by the geese. That day, I was accidentally dragged into the water by Zhang Bailing. During the incident with the Zhao family, I stood on the opposite side of the Snake Pan Mountain. well……"
Thinking of this, Chen Zian's face turned bitter.
The woman also shook her head and sighed.
"Now County Magistrate Wen colludes with the Qingyu Gang and wants to attack Zhang Bailing, which is actually a good thing. But he should not contact Shepanshan secretly and make all kinds of promises. This will undermine everyone's foundation...
If Snake Panshan really succeeds and the Zhao family is overturned, not only will Zhang Bailing die without a burial place, but her husband will also die. With such sinister thoughts, the man surnamed Wen actually has the nerve to ask my husband to send troops to help. Does this mean we are being treated as fools? "
Mrs. Chen was very clever and could see through Wen Zhongguang's plot at a glance.
Moreover, he also saw his own crisis.
In the battle that day, it seemed that Zhang Kun had just arrested Zhao Yuantong in a busy city, which was a normal act, and the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable.
This is where things get bad.
The more tightly the evidence of guilt is nailed down, the harder it will be to deal with it.
What's even more deceiving is that Zhao Yuantong died in the hands of the original head catcher Zhou Huchen and was chopped into meat paste. This was clearly visible to everyone.
That's okay. Even if Zhang Bailing and Zhou Huchen are both under the command of the county captain, and they have done "wrong things", as long as these two people are dealt with, it is not impossible to show their kindness to Shepanshan or the Zhao family and ask for leniency. .
The problem is, things happened too fast that day.
While Chen Zian hadn't decided what to do, the Jade Phosphorous Snake had already killed him.
Moreover, he dragged the county lieutenant into the water and had a big fight. However, Zhang Bailing showed extremely tyrannical strength. Not only did he kill the big snake, but he also forced his boss to compromise.
So, the Zhao family was confiscated.
This incident was linked together, and the county captain Chen Zian was tied up tightly.
No benefit was seen, and the blame was placed firmly on his head.
I can't shake it off even if I want to.
At this time, no matter how Chen Zian tried to explain to She Panshan or Zhao Yuanzhen, it was useless.
Did he fight with the big snake? Did you put in a lot of effort in the battle that killed the Jade Phosphorous Snake?
Of course there is.
Was Zhao Yuantong, the second young master of the Zhao family, killed by his men?
Yes.
The Zhao family was ransacked and confiscated, with many casualties and casualties, and the rest were living on the streets. Was it a good deed done by one of his men?
Still...
The yellow mud fell into my crotch and I couldn't even explain it.
Once the county magistrate Wen Zhongguang joins forces with Shepanshan to bring in the mountain's masters, the first thing the other party will do is to clean up Capt. Zhang, and the second most important thing will probably be to kill him, the county lieutenant.
Chen Zian could guess the ending without thinking.
"He may have thought that if he sent people secretly, I would not know anything about it. In the end, something went wrong and it would be too late to think about changes."
Chen Zian took a long breath and said, "For the current plan, the only way is to burn the boat. I would rather give an advantage to an outsider than to take advantage of the villain. If you want to use tricks, then let's see who can outplay whom?"
He bowed sideways and said warmly: "Madam, please tell the elder brother to contact Tiance Mansion and ask the demon-destroying captain to come here to take charge of the overall situation. He said that the evil atmosphere in Baling County is hard to get rid of, the people are in dire straits, and the county soldiers are hard to resist. , can only ask for help..."
"My husband really wants to go to this point? Once Tiance Mansion intervenes, it will be easier to ask the gods than to give them away. I am afraid that Baling will be investigated to the end, and all the interests will be theirs... Everyone will bear the responsibility and it will be difficult to escape. "
The woman asked with a troubled expression.
"There is no other way, we can only do this. Now that the black tigers and silver foxes are gone, even if I, the county lieutenant, are rated as extremely incompetent, it won't do any harm. At most, I will be dismissed from office.
Over the years, we have gained a lot of treasures, and we can live well wherever we go. Maybe, looking at the employment situation, someone from Tiance Mansion might be able to help me out... It's hard to say with the County Magistrate, haha, let him plot against me secretly, how can I do what he wants? "
A strange look flashed in Chen Zian's eyes.
He knows the tricks of Tiance Mansion best.
In the past, he did not want others to get a share of the pie, and Baling County had its own interests and had done many things secretly. Even if the situation was chaotic, he, like the county magistrate, would not dare to ask for help.
Those people in Tiance Mansion always stay away from right and wrong, and cannot take the initiative to interfere in the place.
Therefore, as long as the lid is closed well, it doesn't matter how messy it is.
Don't be afraid of them.
Once you take the initiative to ask for help due to demon chaos, things will be in trouble.
Not only will the monster be destroyed, but he may also be caught by the Tiance Talisman, and all the benefits will be swallowed up in one gulp.
There are many precedents for this kind of thing, and everyone is well aware of it.
Fortunately, now that the Black Tiger Gang has been destroyed, I have nothing to lose...
Even if someone from Tiance Mansion wants to take full advantage, he still needs someone capable to execute it.
If you behave well then, maybe you can get some benefits.
"Destroy my Black Tiger Gang and cut off one of my arms. Zhang Bailing, how will you die this time?"
Chen Zian secretly calculated, "And the county magistrate, promotion? If you can save your life this time, even if you are powerful... If you dare to collude with Snake Panshan, isn't this asking for death?"
