Chapter 591 The most 'short-lived' acting governor

This place in Jizhou is like a wrestling field, no one is convinced, and everyone wants to overwhelm the other.But obviously, for thousands of years in the past, the holy pilgrimage had an absolute advantage.

Jizhou has been brilliant before, but who would have imagined that it will be like this now.

As far as Chu Xian knew before, more than [-]% or even more than [-]% of the people in Jizhou already believed in various gods. This belief is deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it is difficult to correct it in a short time.

When Duke Jiang Heng was arrested, the Holy Dynasty sent an official to be the acting governor at that time, but after these few months, it was obvious that the acting governor had limited ability, and he did not solve the situation in Jizhou. It was probably because of this, so Xiao Yuzhong Only then did Shu make up his mind to agree to Chu Xian's petition and let Chu Xian be the governor of Jizhou.

When Chu Xian arrived in Heihe City, the first thing he did was to replace him.

In Heihe City, Zhou Gongming hadn't slept for several days. Ever since he was appointed as the governor of Jizhou, Zhou Gongming knew that this was a heavy burden.

After he came, he was busy almost every day, first to understand the situation in various places, and then to maintain the operation of the state capital.It's just that he is alone, and he is in the state capital. Although he can give orders, the people below can fool him by any means.

So although he has been here for several months, Zhou Gongming's understanding of Jizhou is only on the surface, or in other words, it is all in the "scam" designed by others.

Officials in various places are not stupid. How dare they report the real situation now, so they all made up and downplayed the situation in Jizhou and fooled Zhou Gongming.

In this way, Zhou Gongming didn't know that most of the people believed in gods, let alone that there were still horrible things about using living people as sacrifices in various places.

He has been worrying about people's livelihood for the past few days. The biggest problem he encountered is that the state capital has no money, and the places are also poor.

For this matter, Zhou Gongming can be said to be exhausted and exhausted.

But even so, Zhou Gongming was diligent, because he wanted to do this job well and restore the official position of acting governor.

But he didn't know that his generation of governors had already done it well.

Just when Zhou Gongming was reviewing the approval documents from various places, someone from below reported it. The official looked weird and a little frightened. After entering, he saluted and said, "Lord Inspector, outside...outside..."

Halfway through, I didn't know how to continue.

As an official, Zhou Gongming is very good at it. At the moment, he is pretending to be majestic, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on outside? Let's talk after we think about it."

The official gritted his teeth and said, "There is a Master Chu outside, who said he came to take up his post."

"Appointment?" Zhou Gongming stopped writing in his hand, raised his head and said, "Who is taking office? Master Chu?"

The official bowed his head: "It's Chu Xian, Lord Chu, he said he was ordered to serve as governor of Jizhou."

When he said this, the official's heart was beating. Obviously, no matter whether this matter was true or not, he had to be careful, because he couldn't afford to offend whether it was this person or the person outside the door.

"What, the previous governor?" Zhou Gongming's eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and he said angrily, "It's just nonsense. You can believe what a liar says. How did you do it?"

The official who reported the letter kept complaining, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Lord Inspector, then, that Lord Chu has a letter of appointment in his hand, and on it is the official seal of Zhongshu."

Zhou Gongming was stunned this time.

"Wait a minute, you just said, what's that person's name?"

The official hurriedly said: "Chu Xian, Lord Chu."

"Chu Xian?" Zhou Gongming put down the pen in his hand, of course he knew who Chu Xian was, officials of the Holy Dynasty, scholars, who didn't know Chu Xian?
He was an example for the literati in the world, and he was also a dazzling star in the official circles of the Holy Dynasty. Of course Zhou Gongming knew it.But for Chu Xian, he personally doesn't like it very much. In Zhou Gongming's view, this Chu Xian is too young, and he always feels that his rise is too fast, and there must be something shady.

To put it bluntly, I was jealous and unconvinced.

Zhou Gongming has worked hard in the officialdom for more than 30 years, and he can be regarded as an old officialdom. He is also a little complacent to be able to sit in the official fifth-rank official, and he has indeed done some amazing things in the past, so he always feels like A new official like Chu Xian, who has been promoted so quickly, came through the back door through connections.

Because of this, he looked down on Chu Xian.

"This Chu Xian, why is he here? Isn't he in Liangzhou?" Zhou Gongming muttered to himself, as if thinking of something, he asked, "Isn't it a liar?"

The officials below hurriedly shook their heads: "No, the letter of appointment in his hand is absolutely true."

"Hmph, you are blind, how can you tell the truth from the fake? Let him in." Zhou Gongming still felt that it was safer. He didn't believe it a hundred times. Substitution?

This is not normal.

Even if it is to be replaced, you should notify yourself.

So Zhou Gongming believed in his heart that the outsiders were liars, and he wanted to see which thieves were so bold that they cheated to the state capital.

Soon, Chu Xian came in.

Before that, he had already walked around Heihe City, and what made Chu Xian heartbroken was that even in this state capital, the people's beliefs were quite serious.

If you look carefully, every family has a shrine to enshrine unknown gods and gods. In some families, even if they are hungry, their children have nothing to eat, but they dare not be sloppy in the food offered to the shrine every day.

Chu Xian even saw ignorant children steal food enshrined in the shrine because of hunger, and when they were discovered, they were beaten and punished.

Is the child at fault?
No.

Is the adult wrong?

Neither does it seem.

When this kind of distorted belief becomes the norm, those who do not obey will be regarded as aliens, and even punished and retaliated against.

Those who are already in pain don't think about climbing out, but can only be in it, and then sink. If they find someone who wants to betray, they will attack them in groups. If someone opposes the gods, or even blasphemes the gods, the first An attack is also these people.

This distorted belief tortured everyone in Jizhou.

Even the entire Jizhou, which seems to be normal, is actually terminally ill.

Chu Xian has seen and seen too many things like this along the way. He thought the situation in the state capital was better, but who knows, it's the same here.

So Chu Xian was also a little angry.

He knew that after Jiang Henggong was arrested, the Holy Dynasty sent a deputy governor, and it has been a few months now. After such a long time, does this deputy governor not know the situation in Jizhou?Don't you think of a way to solve it?
If you don't do anything and stay in the state capital all day, what's the difference with Jiang Henggong?
What Chu Xian thought, as an official, he had to do something, even if the thing was difficult, even if it was full of thorns, he still had to do it, the more difficult it was, the more necessary it was to do it.

If you are afraid of this and that, and lazy, then don't come to be an official.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Xian is also dissatisfied with Zhou Gongming, the acting governor. On other days, Chu Xian might be polite, at least not on the surface. Everyone wants to save face, especially is an official.But this time, the situation is different. The situation in Jizhou is already so serious that he is dying, and it will be too late if he doesn't do anything.

So in a hurry, Chu Xian didn't intend to give the acting governor a good look.

Therefore, when he came in, Chu Xian had a dark face, and he wanted to ask Zhou Gongming, the current deputy governor, what he did for food.

In other words, both Chu Xian and Zhou Gongming were angry and ready to question each other.

At this moment, Chu Xian strode in, while Zhou Gongming stood in front of the hall with a look of disdain on his face. With the first glance, Zhou Gongming's heart trembled. His aura was even stronger than his own.

This made Zhou Gongming even more upset.

A swindler actually has a more tempered and imposing manner than a genuine official. Are all swindlers so good at acting now?

Zhou Gongming sneered in his heart, and secretly thought, "Let's act, let's act, and when the time comes, we'll see that you, a liar, don't have enough momentum."

When Chu Xian walked in, Zhou Gongming was ready to attack, but obviously, his mouth was half a beat behind Chu Xian.

"Zhou Gongming, right? Since you got the Holy Dynasty Order, you came to Jizhou to be the governor of this generation, but you didn't leave the gate and stayed in the state capital all day long. How much do you know about the current situation in Jizhou? What is the life of the people? How much do you know? Right now, the people are suffering, and they are still oppressed and controlled by those gods. They are suffering unspeakably. What have you done in the past few months?"

Chu Xian was on fire, and came up with a barrage of questions, which directly confused Zhou Gongming.

The latter stared at him, unexpectedly intimidated by Chu Xian's aura, and it took him a long time to realize that he was furious at the moment.Zhou Gongming is a very face-saving person. How can he bear to be reprimanded by a liar in his eyes this time?The anger kept going up, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was furious.

Immediately, he slapped the table angrily, and shouted: "You liar, how dare you question me? What do I do, do you need to ask me? It's a joke, unreasonable. I have been working hard for several months. For the people, I haven’t slept for a whole day, and the official documents I dealt with are enough to pile up into a hill. You actually said that this official is ignorant of the suffering of the people.

Zhou Gongming was really angry.

He has never been so angry before, especially the other party's words are so sharp that they are all about his pain. As an official, this kind of accusation is already extremely serious, so it's no wonder he was so angry gas.

He was angry, and Chu Xian was also angry.

Chu Xian has seen too many things on this journey, and he has seen it with his own eyes. He has killed many gods and rescued some people, but Chu Xian is very clear that this kind of thing is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

He also knew that the power of those gods was due to this 'power of faith'.

Similar to the kung fu method of Incense Fire Golden Body Jue, Chu Xian has studied this kind of kung fu before. It is a superior kung fu method, but if it is used by those gods, it will become a means of controlling people.
