Cheng Changfeng's face was extremely serious.
Standing on the mountains from a distance, watching the Taoist in green approaching with a sword, he remained calm.
As the commander-in-chief of the Jiangzhou Demon Slayer Division, he is actually a capable person.
In fact, there were ten states in the Tang Dynasty with 360 states, and Jiangzhou was considered the upper state. The Demon Slayer and Demon Slayer Division stationed here was not weak at all.
When the former Governor Zhao was still there, Cheng Changfeng was determined to kill the thieves but was unable to save his life.
Without him, the governor is too incompetent and mediocre, and most of his officials are just plain old people. When something happens, they will only shirk the blame and cover up.
The Demon Slaying Division he was in charge of was struggling in the three counties. If he killed the demon today, something strange would appear there again; tomorrow it would appear in the south, and the north would be in chaos again.
Speaking of which, Cheng Changfeng also has a fourth-level out-of-body real person cultivation level. Although he majors in martial arts, he has some expertise in dealing with those ghosts and monsters.
However, in a head-on confrontation, you just don't fall behind.
"As long as there is help and timely intelligence, in fact, in the Jiangzhou area, whether it is a black dragon insurrection or a tide of ghosts in the tombs, it can be extinguished.
The results of it?
During his three years in office, not only were there more and more monsters in Jiangzhou, but they also became stronger and stronger, so that they were no longer able to do what they wanted.
Who's to blame?
Cheng Changfeng felt that he was not to blame, but because of the human heart.
When people lose their morale, they will easily develop various negative emotions, such as sadness, despair, hatred, and emotions of destruction.
In a state where most people live like zombies, demons are naturally rampant.
There will even be a large number of demon slaves who rape people, kill their own kind, and spread the news.
The Demon Slaying Department is an independent organization, and there are not many people under its command. It is just less than a hundred people, and they are scattered in three counties.
And because he couldn't stand what Governor Zhao was doing, he expressed his dissatisfaction many times in some public occasions.
It is normal for Jiangzhou officials to be isolated intentionally or unintentionally and to be unable to use their strength.
Therefore, Cheng Changfeng hoped day and night that something would happen to Governor Zhao, and that he would appoint a more clear-minded official who cared about the people and wiped away the evil atmosphere in Jiangzhou.
For this purpose, Cheng Changfeng did not know how many reports he made to his superiors.
Useful or useful.
However, what he was waiting for was not the news that Governor Zhao had resigned from his post, but the news that the Governor had been killed by a demon and his whole family was dead.
Some of the servants and servants who escaped from the governor's mansion also died soon after.
Then, Cheng Changfeng also knew that the rebellious ghost in the governor's mansion was very powerful.
Even he didn't dare to face the situation directly without investigating the situation clearly.
After all, he is only in the out-of-body realm and has a fourth-level cultivation level.
There are not many experts under his command, and they are divided into three counties, so they are really busy.
In the days after Governor Zhao died, Cheng Changfeng chased a dog demon deep into Diaoji Mountain and was not at home.
He sometimes wondered if he would have gone to the Governor's Mansion to fight with the female ghost if he had been in Xunyang County, the prefectural government office, that day.
Asking himself afterwards, he felt that he didn't know how.
Sometimes, officials are more powerful than demons.
In a time of chaos and chaos, ghosts eat people. Why don't stupid officials who do nothing do not eat people? Their harm is even greater.
The day when the new governor Chen Zhuangyuan came to Jiangzhou.
Cheng Changfeng hid in the crowd and watched.
He didn't take action, nor did he go to see him. After all, the two sides were not in the same system.
The Governor is an official of the imperial court, and in principle, he is a sharp blade in the dark, protecting the people of the world, and is not suitable for making friends with officials in public.
Moreover, deep down in his heart, Cheng Changfeng actually did not want to meet the new governor. He was worried that another mediocre and incompetent official would come.
Logically speaking, as the number one scholar, you will not be mediocre.
After experiencing the incident with Governor Zhao, Cheng Changfeng still had some doubts about the court's official selection system.
At that time, Governor Zhao was not only a second-ranked Jinshi, but also ranked among the best and had a great reputation as a true Confucian scholar. Before coming to Jiangzhou to take up the post, he had held several official positions and had a very good official reputation.
But what happened to this governor with a good official reputation? He had seen so many times that he didn't even have the strength to curse.
I originally thought that the new governor would basically follow the precedent, just be an official, write a few beautiful memorials, cover up some bad things, and tell the court that there is peace and prosperity here. It is a prosperous and prosperous era.
Most officials all over the world operate this way, and Cheng Changfeng is not surprised at all.
He felt that maybe not long after, he would die on the way to exterminate demons, and the champion might be able to serve for three years and be transferred away.
Perhaps he would follow in the footsteps of Governor Zhao and be harmed by demons and lose his fortune and life.
He has always been very open-minded about these things.
In recent years, the world has been very chaotic. Today, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. We live today and die tomorrow. Cheng Changfeng is used to it.
Facts have proved that Cheng Changfeng was indeed mistaken.
The new governor is not only not faint, he is also too wise and mighty.
It only took three months.
Just wipe out the demon chaos in the three counties, clear out the ghosts, and restore peace to the three counties in Jiangzhou.
This was originally a great joy.
Even though the governor's office still ignored the demon-slaying division who was hiding in the dark, Cheng Changfeng felt that he actually needed to pay a visit.
Perhaps, by working together, the two sides can turn the land of Jiangzhou into an iron barrel, drive out all the demons, and live up to the high hopes of the court and the people of Li.
Just when he felt that his family had finally made it in Jiangzhou, he might be able to write "No monsters disturbing the people, rule Da'an" on the annual merit test.
He realized something was wrong again.
Every household in Jiangzhou was worshiping the governor, burning incense and praying, but he felt that there was a huge network in the three counties, which was getting stronger day by day.
As an official of the Orthodox Demon Slaying Department, although he has never seen this kind of situation, he has seen it in some documents and classics.
Every time a network of gods appears, it is usually an evil god causing chaos and usurping faith.
Often in the end, there will be a very bad ending.
Therefore, when the people of Jiangzhou beg their grandfather and grandma, and the officials who come to ask for help may be a bigger disaster.
Why do you think so.
The reason is simple.
It is only natural that the hearts of the people of the world should belong to the imperial court and the king.
And the No. 1 Scholar, not long after he took office, rallied the faith of the state and the hearts of the people to his side.
There was no court and no emperor in sight. What was he going to do?
In this era, aristocratic families did not dare to cook porridge to provide disaster relief or build bridges and roads in their own name alone, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the court and wearing the hat of buying people's hearts.
Even if you want to do some good deeds, you can only do it in the name of the government and the court.
Otherwise, it will be the end of confiscating the entire family.
But the Governor Chen had no taboos and did things a hundred times more extraordinary than distributing porridge for disaster relief and repairing bridges and roads.
He actually used his name to do things that were beneficial to the people of the world. Moreover, whether in official documents or external speeches, he rarely mentioned the imperial court.
What is this behavior?
This is treachery.
Nowadays, in the territory of Jiangzhou, only the governor is known, and no one knows who the emperor is, let alone the princes in the court.
Cheng Changfeng began to struggle again. On the one hand, he felt that Governor Chen had done a good job. At least he had saved many people from demons and ghosts and allowed them to live a better life.
On the other hand, I feel that this is not good. Such an act of being without a king and a father must have a deeper intention, and I am afraid that something big will happen.
The incident has not happened yet, and every move of the Jiangzhou governor may have just been sent to Chang'an. However, paper cannot cover the fire, and things will come to light sooner or later.
Jiangzhou will soon usher in turmoil.
Perhaps, it won't be long before the Jiangzhou Demon Slayer Division will receive the order to "slay the gods".
The evil gods disrupting the government may be more serious than the demons and ghosts disrupting the law.
Cheng Changfeng saw the ending, but had nothing to do.
Perhaps, the officials of the imperial court who are far away in Chang'an don't know how powerful Mr. Chen is in Jiangzhou. He has established an office not far from the governor's mansion, but he can feel the huge power in the governor's mansion every day. God's strength and energy machine, how can one not know how powerful the other party is.
While secretly complaining, Cheng Changfeng did not dare to do anything. Even in his monthly reporting letters, he only mentioned some things vaguely and did not dare to directly report the governor.
Afraid of letting the other party discover his hostility.
