"Beheaded, beheaded."
The next day, the weather was fine.
Men, women, and children in Baling County who were well-informed rushed to inform their neighbors.
"Today at noon, I was watching a beheading at Caishikou. Who was killed this time? Tell me about the official punishment and choose the time to be beheaded. I heard that the one who was beheaded was the county magistrate..."
"What? Wang Lezi, please stop talking nonsense. This is not a joke."
Everyone who heard it changed their expressions.
In Baling County, the county magistrate is the sky, the earth, and the king's law.
Normally, only Lord Wenxian can order someone's head to be chopped off. When have you ever heard of someone who dared to kill someone's head under the canonical punishment?
Wen Zhongguang has been operating in Baling for many years. He has a good official reputation on the surface, but no one knows about some of the secret things he does secretly.
However, most people are not fools.
Over the years, since Magistrate Wen took office, their lives have become worse day by day.
The number of injustices and mistakes is increasing day by day.
Some crimes cannot be broken, and it has become an unspoken rule to find anyone to blame.
No matter how good the official reputation is, the people will always secretly spit in their hearts.
I dare not scold...
But every time I hear the name of the county magistrate, I feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
I thought to myself, I heard that officials like this can be promoted through performance appraisal, but God really has no eyes for it.
Only this time, when they heard someone saying that General Wenxian was going to be punished and beheaded in the street, the people were very excited when they heard it. They were afraid that this was false news. Even if they didn't like to see Wang Lezi on weekdays, they were still affectionate at this time. I grabbed him and asked for some details.
"Is it true? Magistrate Wen colluded with demons and gangs, and also attracted demon monks to harm the people. Now the incident has come to light..."
"Zhang Bailing and Zhang Baotou have taken up the post of county captain and are acting as county magistrates. Now the people of Baling are blessed."
"Yes, yes. Zhang Bai... Mr. Zhang has a kind heart. Although many businessmen and wealthy people say that he is greedy for money and power, but who doesn't know that he really makes decisions for the people. Since he took up the position of head catcher, our lives have become much better, and even those gentlemen do not dare to blatantly bully us."
"Also, when the Yamen agents colluded with those monster monks to insult our daughter Juan, Master Zhang also ordered the White Dragon Society to guard everywhere. On that day, the city was full of killings and blood flowed into rivers, and the women's Juan of each family was not dragged away. , he is truly compassionate, and since he said that Magistrate Wen’s crimes were extremely heinous, it must be true.”
While everyone was talking, they saw Wei Lian, Shitou and others dressed in police uniforms in front of them, leading a group of about fifty people, escorting a prison car past.
Along the way, there was a sound of shouting and killing. Rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown like raindrops at the people in the prison car, making a loud banging sound.
Amidst the filth and embarrassment, Wen Zhongguang's hair was disheveled, with only one head exposed, and his eyes were full of panic and fear.
After the death of Monk Guangming, he had come to his senses. Thinking of what he had experienced these days, he felt extremely sad and resentful at the same time.
With great fear rising in his heart, Wen Zhongguang shouted at the top of his voice: "I am not convinced, Zhang Bailing. You are not qualified to punish me. If you dare to act against me, you will be in disaster today."
The master, Mr. Boshan, now looked gray and dull, and his eyes were dull.
He didn't complain.
This man could see the situation clearly. When he saw something happened in Magistrate Wen's home that day, he wanted to run away, but he was reluctant to give up his position as a staff master.
Wen Zhongguang was not diligent in his work. For most of a month, his master Boshan was handling county affairs. The taste of power was very addictive. Whether he should leave or not has been delayed until now.
When the monks from the Bodhi Monastery came over, Mr. Boshan was used to following the wind and running errands, but he was very comfortable serving the monks.
For example, the master was responsible for exploiting the property of merchants and counting the women from various families and bringing them to the county government. It can be said that although Boshan's life was not as comfortable as before, it was not bad.
The most important thing is that this guy doesn't love women. He only loves money and power, and likes the feeling of being superior. He doesn't even have a wife at home, so the monk can't find him to kill him. (This chapter is not over yet.) !)
Chapter 236: The County Magistrate’s Submission and Transfer of Orders
No loss at all.
Originally, he thought that the days would pass like this day by day.
As long as he has talent and learning, no matter who makes the decision, Baling will still be Baling, and he will always be able to live a good life.
The results of it?
Things changed in a blink of an eye.
After Bodhiyuan Zen Master Guangming and several major disciples died that night, a large number of sergeants rushed into the county government office at midnight. The remaining monks, as well as the civil servants with bloody hands, including him, the master, and the chief clerk, As well as the jailers and officials, all those with bad records will be caught in one fell swoop.
This time, it was useless for Magistrate Wen to say anything.
People didn't listen at all.
The shouting and killing sounds that echoed through the sky all around made Mr. Boshan almost doubt that this was not Baling.
He never expected that the people in the city would be so ferocious and cruel.
"Aren't they all obedient and humble? How is that possible?"
He was thinking this, and a row of prison cars behind him, containing more than thirty people, were also thinking the same thing.
Countless rubbish was thrown on their heads like hula-la-la, causing a group of people to have their heads bruised and bloody, and loud cheers could be heard from all around.
"The people's support is available."
Zhang Kun was dressed in the uniform of a county lieutenant, sitting upright on his tent, blocking the sun.
Next to him were more than 80 recruiters and kuaishou who had been recruited again, headed by Wei Lian and others.
These people were all recruited recently under the name of the White Dragon Society. They were independent warriors with strong skills and good reputations.
Some are from Sanren warriors who came to Baling to seek refuge with their relatives and friends, and some are from strong farmers who have fallen into the streets and are loyal to protect their neighbors. Of course, there are also some who are involved in gangs and do not want to join in, but still maintain their inner feelings. A somewhat kind warrior.
The last part.
They were some of the agents Zhang Kun recruited when he was serving as the head catcher.
Not all police officers are bad guys with sores on their heads and pus on their feet.
Just like Wei Lian, Shitou, Wang San and others, these people don't care about good or evil. They concentrate on doing things on weekdays, have certain bottom lines in their work, and abide by the law.
Although he behaves in a rather vicious manner, overall, he is not a bad person.
On that day, this group of people were infected by Zhang Kun's personality charm and would rather abandon the clothes of a police officer and follow him to join the White Dragon Society. Later, they became the backbone of the society, fighting at the front to control the place for Zhang Kun. Do your best.
This time Zhang Kun was determined to run Baling City without leakage, so he naturally wanted to keep a tight grip on the police station and the city guards.
All key positions must be replaced by your own people.
He even found a way to replace the county government officials such as Cang Cao and Hu Cao with his own people.
It is said that he is acting as magistrate of the county.
He really runs Baling County as his own home.
There is no other reason.
It was because, ever since he issued an announcement that he was going to kill everyone in the county government and the remaining fierce monks, he felt that the energy rising in the entire Baling City had become a little different.
In just half a day, he discovered that he had gained 10 dragon energy points.
As time goes by, bits and pieces of Qi, the emotional power of worship, admiration, trust and dependence, turn into golden purple dragon Qi points bit by bit, and merge into the sea of spiritual consciousness.
Like a gurgling stream, it is endless.
"With my reputation, I can gain at least 20 dragon energy points in one day. In one month, it will be more than 600 points...
Now I have accumulated 3274 dragon energy points. I still have 726 dragon energy points left before I can accumulate 4000 dragon energy points for the next step of improvement. However, as my strength increases, I will be able to deal with some unscrupulous evil thieves and even easy muscle forging. For opponents at the bone level, dragon energy points gained are greatly reduced, and it would be great to even be able to give one or two points.
In this way, it is a good way to start from another aspect, starting from the people's hearts and minds, and gathering the power of all people's thoughts to form dragon energy points. "
"At the current speed, as long as you work hard for one month and seven days, you can meet the increased dragon energy points, and the divine martial realm is in sight..."
Zhang Kun thought that he would soon be able to advance to another level and step out of the ordinary realm of spiritual practice (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 236: The County Magistrate’s Submission and Transfer of Orders
I can't help but feel happy when I take the necessary step.
In this world, the third realm of Yuanshen is the fifth level of strength, which is only one level away from the true fairyland.
Even in another world, the Divine Martial Realm is considered a legendary realm.
Although such characters cannot yet be called gods and immortals, the best among them already have some qualifications, which distinguish them from gods and immortals.
At least I won't be able to fight back if I encounter him.
Of course, the gap within the same realm is also vastly different.
But Zhang Kun is confident that with his all-round improvement method, he has truly reached the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. It is absolutely difficult to find an opponent at the same level.
Even when facing gods from other worlds, he can still deal with them and fight several times.
Let alone counterattack, there is still a chance to save one's life.
Because, in essence, the sixth-level true immortal and true god stages do not improve much in terms of power. Instead, they focus on rules and legal principles, and can break through if they understand the true meaning of the three thousand avenues.
This is another level of power. Zhang Kun has yet to know the specifics.
He only knew that, at least in Baling and within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, even if a true immortal with some power of rules came, he would be suppressed to the same extent as himself and use real swords and guns.
It won't lead to a situation where the power of a law is brushed down, and I can't understand it at all, and it turns gray.
This is already good.
As long as you advance to this level, your way of doing things can become more open-minded and less scrupulous.
"Even if the Buddha's weight or the Bodhisattva comes, they can still hit a dozen of them, and they won't be gone with just one palm."
All kinds of delusional thoughts flashed through Zhang Kun's mind, so he stopped thinking about it. The most important thing to focus on at this time was his own situation.
Before promotion, the threat is still there.
There are many opponents stronger than him.
It’s not good to think too far ahead.
"Now there is only one city in the territory, and the prestige is at its peak. You can get 20 points every day. What if you occupy not only one city, but five cities? Or in other words, if you occupy all the 800 miles of Dongting, you will be able to gain 20 points every day. What kind of situation will happen if the sentient beings on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are trapped, and how much dragon energy value can be obtained?"
Of course, these are just thoughts.
Zhang Kun knew that his current strength was completely insufficient to support such a huge appetite.
It is already very good to be able to run Baling well, keep the peace of the city, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Based on this purpose, anyone who dares to break his reputation and destroy the acquisition of dragon energy points is an incompatible enemy.
"The time has come for the sword to be cut."
Zhang Kun read out the charges of the prisoners headed by Wen Zhongguang one by one. Seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day, he immediately dropped the order without further delay, and the executioner immediately raised the ghost-headed sword in his hand.
Magistrate Dawen cursed loudly, screamed and howled, blood spattered, and his head rolled down.
Countless people gathered on three floors inside and three floors outside, completely surrounding the streets of Caishikou. From all directions, there were cheers and cheers that shook the sky.
The atmosphere was ten times more lively than the Chinese New Year.
…
Wu Zhenshan, the demon-subduing captain, really kept his word.
I don't know whether it was out of friendship or sincere admiration for Zhang Kun. After he hurried back to Yuezhou Governor's Office to hand over the order, a letter was rushed to Baling.
At this time, only six days had passed since Magistrate Wen Mingzheng's typical time.
Zhang Kun's accumulated dragon energy points are still 690 points short of reaching 4,000 points.
While waiting for the dragon energy point to merge into the sea of consciousness.
While training and cultivating the forces of the police officers and city guards under his command, of course, the White Dragon Society will not be left behind.
Although some of the masters of the White Dragon Society have joined the city guards and police officers, their power has been greatly reduced.
But never underestimate the power of orthodoxy.
When Zhang Kun got the position of county captain and acted as magistrate of county affairs, and gained great power, Baling's politics were clear and the people were happy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this person's style is completely different from that of his predecessor, and he really doesn't care about personal interests.
Instead, he considers the people at the bottom wholeheartedly.
Therefore, those who hide themselves and do not care about the world (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 236: The County Magistrate’s Submission and Transfer of Orders
Hermits and masters, as well as bloody warriors who came from all around, also began to defect to the Wei Mansion in Baling County one after another. The strength of Zhang Kun's command expanded like a balloon.
The reason why this happens.
Or because of what happened a few days ago.
After Zhang Kun came to power, within three days, he solved 128 cases of injustice and avenged the grievances of some poor people.
Under the eyes of Jiu Xuan, it is difficult to hide evil...
Coupled with the powerful force of his men, he was almost the leader in Baling, and he easily captured and imprisoned the guilty, and killed the most serious offenders directly.
Suddenly, the Baling Sea and the river were clear and the filth was swept away.
"Remember, although this person seems to be a loyal person, he may not be on the same path as us. From his standpoint, he mainly wants to do it for the court, for his own promotion, or in other words, for his own faction. Really? If you say it’s for the people, I don’t believe it.”
Zhang Kun moved the knife slowly, without squinting his eyes and keeping his body and steps together. As the knife moved with him, the air around him was stirred and turned into ripples, surging with it.
The little carp stood eight feet away, holding a letter in his hand, feeling a little unsteady.
It seems that if he is not careful, he will follow the force of the sword, throw himself into the whirlpool, and jump onto the blade.
Her eyes were full of confusion, and she felt that the sword was a bit unclear. She had a strong desire to draw the sword out of its sheath and fight for three hundred rounds. She changed her mind, but she didn't dare.
She knew that although this "husband" was very gentle and easy to get close to on weekdays, he was never complacent when it came to martial arts competitions.
If you really try out the knife, you will probably get beaten up and taught a lot of lessons.
The feeling was really unpleasant.
have to.
Just keep reading the letter.
The little girl couldn't help but take a few more glances at the sword's power and intention, silently noted it in her heart, and read the letter in a clear voice.
"...Brother Zhang, please, the new county magistrate Gu Yuanfang will arrive in Baling soon. Please be careful and don't be careless...
I promised in advance to get the position of Demon Subduing School Captain. Fortunately, Yudi lived up to his promise and attached a token to the letter, hoping to help Brother Zhang...
Recently I got news that Pingjiang is unstable and Bodhi Courtyard seems to be going to war. Tiance Mansion will not sit back and watch... Vice Governor Zuo personally took the lead and invited experts from all over to plan a conquest.
Brother Zhang's reputation for being good at fighting has already spread, and the transfer order will arrive soon. I hope Brother Zhang will think about it carefully and it is best to obey the order..."
The letter is not long, but it contains a lot of things.
Zhang Kun stopped his sword movement, chuckled and shook his head.
"The trouble is here. Sure enough, every gift has a price. I don't know what Chen Zuoshi said when he went to Yuezhou. What did Deputy Governor Zuo think?
He is known as a good fighter, haha, no matter how good he is in fighting, he is really valued enough to have me deal with the Bodhi Courtyard and face Monk Guangfa, a master of the Dharmakaya Realm. "
Zuo Donglin died in Baling, and Chen Zian also died here. The Chen family suffered heavy casualties. When the five monks attacked, it was said that Chen Zian's two sons were also killed in the aftermath of the fight.
Although it is Monk Guangming's fault, some people may not necessarily think so.
When the little carp heard this, he also understood the meaning, and his little face wrinkled up, feeling a little embarrassed:
"Are we going to meet up at Pingjiang?"
"There's no rush. Just reply to them and tell them that everything in Baling is undecided and it will take a month. Let them wait."
Direct refusal obviously won't work. It's very useful to apply for the title of seventh-grade demon-subduing school lieutenant. Also, I don't want to lose my position as county lieutenant, so I have to obey the order.
However, just trying so hard to get close to him means that he is not strong enough and may be very dangerous.
Then you might as well drag it on.
In another month, things will be different.
