My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 214 Caution
After igniting the candle, respectfully worship the clay sculpture of Yuanshi Tianzun sitting above, and then carefully insert the three sticks of incense into the ashes of the incense burner.

"Tianzun," Zhang Meng looked at the clay sculpture of Yuanshi Tianzun surrounded by fireworks and said, "Thanks to Tianzun's blessing, I can say that the wind and water have been smooth all these years. If I can really become the sheriff of Zangcang County this time, I will definitely be happy in the future." People make a golden body for Tianzun."

"This Bodao County is actually very good, but that Bodao Ting Hou Zhou Xing is too domineering. But that day I read two volumes of Huang Ting after being anxious that day, thinking that fortune and misfortune depend on each other, so I let go of my mind and ignored it. Who would have thought that the refugees now There was such a big commotion, and people in all counties and counties panicked. Although everyone kept quiet, they might not be envious of Zhou Xing, who has an astonishing cultivation and hundreds of private soldiers in my territory. Yibo said In addition to this domineering Marquis Ting, Bo Dao may have nothing to worry about in the short term."

Just when Zhang Meng and the clay sculpture Yuanshi Tianzun were talking about their concerns in a low voice, they suddenly heard a burst of anxious footsteps, and then the door of the Xiangtang was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

He took a closer look and found that it was his eldest son Zhang Yong who came.

"Why are you so panicked?" Zhang Meng was very satisfied with his eldest son all this time, but when he saw him coming in a hurry, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked in a deep voice.

"Father, something is wrong." Zhang Yong had lost his usual composure at this time, and said anxiously: "A group of thieves pretended to be businessmen and sneaked into the county, saying that they were sent by Li Xiang, and now they have attacked the county. At the gate of the yamen."

"What!" Zhang Meng's face changed drastically when he heard this, "Quickly, you go to the back hall to protect your mother and others, and I'll go to the front to have a look."

"Father, there are not many soldiers left in the city, and the gang of thieves are attacking fiercely. When I came, the gate could no longer withstand it."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a male voice resounding throughout the county office, "I am a general under the command of General Zhendong, Bodao has been captured by me now, you should surrender quickly, otherwise Shoot to kill."

Hearing this voice, Zhang Meng and his son looked at each other, and they both saw incomparable shock on each other's faces.To be able to make everyone hear clearly from such a long distance, this person's cultivation should be above the fourth rank.

At this moment, the first thing that came to Zhang Meng's mind was Zhou Xing, the Bodao Pavilion whom he had never been able to see.

It would be great if he was here.

Of course, he didn't know that all of this was originally written by Zhou Xing.

The long-lost sunshine penetrated the dark clouds that covered the Yizhou Plain for many days, injected a lot of warmth into the cold winter, and seemed to bring a little vitality to the depression everywhere.

The courtyard of the Second Hall of the Bodao County Yamen was crowded with people, and these people were all the leaders of the major households in the county.For many years, this is the first time that so many heads of big families can be gathered together.

This day has been five days since Bodao Ting Hou Zhouxing re-"recovered" Bodao County, and there are still a few unlucky heads hanging on the not-so-majestic city gate of Bodao County, which shows the inevitability of "rebels" end.But for these big households who have lived in the local area for hundreds of years, Zhou Xing's seemingly complicated actions can't hide the truth from too many people.

Of course, at the beginning, everyone was really scared.When they heard that Zhou Xing led the army to recapture Bodao County and kill the thieves, everyone also increased their quota with their hands, thankful that there is such a person in the county.But as the people who escaped from the county slowly collected the news, some leaders of big families who had already become elites discovered that there must be tricks in it.

First of all, the thieves did not stick to the city, but even moved the materials in the city out.

Secondly, moving out is not moving across the river to the north, but to the south.To the south is the territory of Bodao Tinghou.

In the end, a few days later, when Zhou Xing attacked the bandits, the bandits went out of the city to fight, and then they scattered and fled as soon as they fought, allowing the Marquis of Bodao Ting to "recover" Bodao County easily.

It's just that this kind of thing can be clear in the heart, and you can't say it out of your mouth.Who knows what that Bo Daotinghou is planning.When Zhou Xing sent people to invite them to the county government, most of the leaders of these big households were frightened. Some even left last words to their family members before they left. Who should be in charge, what measures should be taken, and so on.

Under Qianwei County, there are five counties in total, which are Wuyang (in the area of ​​Renshou in Pengshan), Niuhuang (in the area of ​​Jianyang), Zizhong (in the area of ​​Zizhong in Ziyang), Nan'an (in the area of ​​Qianwei in Leshan), and Bodao (in the area of ​​Nanxi, Muchuan, Yibin). .Bodao County is not only in the south of the river, but also in the north of the river.Although the imperial court's roster only registered more than 2000 households in Bodao, among the two households in the early [-]s, there were hundreds of Guangda households, and each household had dozens or even hundreds of people.At this time, hundreds of people gathered in the county government office, chatting and whispering, not knowing what the rumored Marquis of Bo Daoting called them here for.

"Everyone," Zhou Xing, accompanied by Cuan Chen and Yan Meiting, came out from the back hall, and at this moment he looked very high-spirited.Anyone who got a large amount of money, cloth, silk, food, grass, and some spirit stones and sand from the county treasury would be inexplicably excited.

"I, Mr. Gao, invited everyone here today to discuss something together." Zhou Xing didn't deliberately increase his voice, but with his cultivation, everyone could hear clearly even if he stood at the end, "Everyone must We all know that a few days ago, a group of vagrants and thieves occupied the county government office and exiled the family of Mr. Zhang, the county venerable, along the river, and there is no trace of them until today."

"I have already sent someone to Wuyang to report the matter to the prince. But a family cannot be without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day, not to mention that Yizhou is currently in troubled times, and refugees are everywhere. Bodao cannot do without a person in charge. Before the return of the county magistrate, or before Luo Shijun re-appoints a county magistrate, I hope that all of us in Bodao can jointly elect a person of high moral and high prestige to temporarily take charge of the county. The position of chief. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is very worried." Just as the leaders of the big households looked at each other, someone among the crowd took the lead in saying: "Now Yizhou is in great chaos and people are panicking. It happened as in the case of refugees occupying the county seat a few days ago. For today's plan, Gao Junhou has a noble status and regained the county seat by himself. This leader can be chosen by no one other than a prince and marquis." The person who spoke was called Huang Yang , is Huang Ang's younger brother.After Huang Ang was sent to prison, he served as the new head of the Huang family.

"Yes, yes." Bo Yanmeiting, the head of Bodao County next to Zhou Xing, saw that someone was taking the lead, and immediately said, "Except for the prince, no one can take the lead."

After Yan Meiting was captured that night, he thought that he might be doomed this time, but he didn't expect that the leader of the other party would release him and the officials in the county without even asking for a ransom, which made him very unhappy. untie.After watching Zhou Xing easily regain the county seat, he, who has been in the officialdom for so many years, already understood it in his heart.The moment he understood, his perception of Zhou Xing turned into fear.

"This Marquis of Gaoting talks and laughs happily with the county magistrate Zhang on weekdays, but he doesn't want to drive the county magistrate Zhang away quietly. It's really a shame. Is it just because the county magistrate Zhang blocked his way? Is he so If you do something wrong, you are not afraid that the court will ask you for your crime?"

Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Xing in his heart, how can he not bow his head now that he is under the low eaves.He thought to himself, if you want to sit in this seat, Zhou Xing, there are so many people in this game, no one in Bodao County can stop you, and no one dares to stop you.But why do you still insist on taking off your pants and farting?

"Yes, yes. This position must belong to the prince!" Everyone saw that Yan Meiting, an old official for many years, had opened his mouth, and immediately responded.

Seeing such a situation, Zhou Xing laughed.Originally, Gongsun Sheng's suggestion to him was to push back a few more times, but he thought from the bottom of his heart that this was really taking off his pants and farting, and it was too much a test of his acting skills, so he couldn't do it. He preferred a simpler and rougher method.

"Since everyone is so sincere in recommending me, then I will not be disrespectful." Zhou Xing said with a smile, and asked someone to take out a piece of green paper, which was filled with many words, "Big guy, no one is on it. Press your thumbprint and you can go home."

Yan Meiting stretched her neck and looked towards Cuan Chen, and saw that the blue paper in Cuan Chen's hand was written with her head up: Bodao and all the sages jointly recommended Bodao Tinghou Zhou Xingzan to take the Bodao county magistrate.Suddenly, there was a "buzz" in his head, and his eyes began to darken.

"Well, you bastard Bodao Tinghou, you are going to kidnap everyone in Bodao County! Once the name is signed and the handprint is pressed, the court will be held accountable in the future, but what to do. "

"It's just nonsense!" In the mansion of Qianwei prefect in Wuyang County, Wang Zhan, the prefect of Qianwei, walked back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, with an angry face.A servant in Tsing Yi was kneeling on the ground carefully picking up those fragments in fear and trepidation, while sneaking eyes from time to time at another beautiful woman in the house who showed no trace of fear on her face.

This woman was none other than Zhou Xing's wife and Wang Zhan's niece Wang Tianyun.

Of course Zhou Xing couldn't hide from the person next to him what he did.After he discussed with Wang Tianyun, Wang Tianyun insisted that her family should know what he did.According to Wang Tianyun, you are now the son-in-law of the Jinyang Wang family, and everyone in the world will regard you as a member of the Jinyang Wang family.Although what you did was done on your own initiative, everyone in the world will think that the Jinyang Wang family asked you to do it.The Wang family can't just take the blame for this, but they don't even know what they did.

Wang Tianyun's words made Zhou Xing speechless, and Guo Wen followed Wang Tianyun to Wuyang in a hurry the next day.

Although Wang Tianyun was very angry that Zhou Xing had done such a big thing without telling her, but her husband had already done this kind of thing, and it was a done deal, so she naturally wanted to think about how to make up for it.

Wang Zhan has no children under his knees, and has always regarded her and Wang Tianci as his own children, and loves her very much.But when he heard Wang Tianyun explain to him that Bodao County was first lost and then recovered was all planned by Zhou Xing in private, he was shocked beyond comparison.

"What does Zhou Xing want to do? Fortunately, I asked Mr. Luo to ask for credit for him a few days ago." Although Wang Zhan is not the kind of talented person among the children of the Jinyang royal family, he is well-known for being gentle. A humble person has always followed the rules.At that time, Wang Rong and Wang Yan thought that there was nothing wrong with Yizhou, so they jointly arranged for Cui Can to be the governor of Yizhou with the Cui family, so he was transferred from an official in Xuzhou to be the prefect.But I didn't want to experience such ups and downs after entering Shu.

Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, was an old official of Wang Rong and took good care of him.And he has always been adhering to the Wang family's way of being an official, loyal to his superiors and loyal to state affairs, and has always been diligent and cautious. He once thought that his niece and son-in-law, the Bo Daotinghou who was valued by his grandfather, would be like this To act recklessly, he simply regards the system and laws of the imperial court as nothing.

"Uncle," Wang Tianyun naturally understood her uncle's feelings in her heart, and she did the same at the first moment after she knew the inside story, but at this moment, she could only scold Zhou Xing in her heart, and at the same time excuse Zhou Xing, "Gao Lang He is also eager for the country. The situation in Yizhou is so bad that Luo Shang cannot escape the responsibility. Gao Lang is worried every day when he sees this scene."

"No matter how worried you are, you can't do such a thing!" Wang Zhan said angrily: "The affairs of the imperial court will be resolved by the imperial court. How can it be his turn, a little Tinghou who has no position, to come forward. Yes, whether Mr. Luo is responsible or not is a matter for the court, and it is not up to you and me to speak."

"Is it like this that everyone can only watch the situation in Yizhou deteriorate day by day?" The reason why Wang Tianyun was willing to speak for Zhou Xing was because she agreed with Zhou Xing very much on this point.

"Hmph." Wang Zhan sighed in his heart, although he hummed coldly when he heard this.In private, he was worried about Yizhou's current situation, but after the defeat of the last conquest of refugees, no one dared to take the initiative to mention another expedition.One is that after a big defeat, the soldiers have no fighting spirit.Two, if you really want to win, what should Luo Shijun do?Isn't this blatantly slapping Luo Shijun in the face?

A few days ago, there was news from CD that after Qin Si, the general of the Yamen, repeatedly asked to lead his troops to attack again and refused, he told people in private that Luo Shijun was as fearful of the enemy as a tiger.After this was known by Luo Shang, he finally found an excuse, saying that Qin Si had secretly conspired with the refugees and beheaded them for public display.It is said that Li Yang on the opposite side raised the quota with his hands after knowing the news, saying that Qin Si was the only opponent in Yizhou who could be his opponent, but he did not expect that he was killed by Luo Shang himself.

Thinking of this episode, his anger became even stronger.

This week's trip, I really don't know what the old man has taken a fancy to. Doesn't it make it difficult for my Jinyang Wang family to do things like this?

Wang Tianyun saw that he just snorted but didn't speak, rolled his eyes, put on a smiling face and pulled his sleeve like a baby and said: "Uncle, Zhou Xing should be considered cautious about this matter."
