Changsheng starts from taking care of the painted skin master

Chapter 117: Take Advantage of the Situation and Cut Through the Mountain with One Knife

"What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do for a living? What are you doing in Tongzhou? Tell me the truth!"

"My surname is Li, my name is Changsheng, I am from Jiangzhou, my official position is General of Qianwuwei, I am promoted to the rank of envoy, and I am also the Grand Commander of Tongzhou. I am an imperial envoy, in charge of all military and political affairs in Tongzhou."

Li Changsheng's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but to Wang Tong's ears it was like a bolt from the blue, causing his body to tremble and his thighs to shake.

"You...you are the Heavenly Sword King Li Changsheng?"

Wang Tong was shocked and horrified, and his speech was incoherent.

Even though he is the governor of Tongzhou and a high-ranking official, he is nothing in front of Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng took out the imperial edict and walked in front of Wang Tong:
"Tongzhou was hit by a flood, and there were starving people everywhere. The people were displaced and had to trade their children for food. As the governor of Tongzhou, you did not think about helping the victims, but instead indulged in pleasure. What use is there for you?!"

"My lord, please spare my life!"

Wang Tong's legs softened and he fell to the ground:
"I have no other choice. There are too many victims to help. To prevent chaos in the city, I can only block them outside the city with tears in my eyes!"

"No way?"

Li Changsheng smiled, "Is this your reason?"

"It's ridiculous!"

"Death is imminent, yet you are still trying to make sophistry!"

“How can someone like you change?”

"Only death!"

"Uh"

Wang Tong’s eyes widened and his head fell to the ground.

The government office was dead silent.

Wang Tong's men prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Ask the Sima of Tongzhou, the governor of Tongzhou, and all officials of Tongzhou to come and see me!"

"Yes!"

A powerful master responded quickly, stood up and ran outside.

Li Changsheng was sitting on the governor's throne waiting.

soon.

Tongzhou Sima Chai Yuhui and Zhenfu Envoy Lu Tianshuo hurried over with a group of officials and bowed their heads.

They were panicking.

The body of Tongzhou Mu Wang Tong was placed nearby.

The eyes widened.

Li Changsheng took out the imperial edict and looked at the officials in front of him:
"All officials in Tongzhou receive the order."

"I, the Minister of Tongzhou, Chai Yuhui (the Pacification Envoy Lu Tianshuo), and my subordinates from Tongzhou respectfully await the Imperial Edict."

Li Changsheng opened the imperial edict and read:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: All the ancient sage kings who ruled the country attached great importance to water conservation. From Yao and Shun to Yu, they mobilized the people of the world to dredge the river, guide it according to the flow, eliminate floods, and open up the rivers to benefit the world. This is why all dynasties have entrusted virtuous and capable ministers to manage rivers and canals."

"But now the floods are raging and the disasters are endless. The people of Tongzhou are displaced."

“The people are the lifeblood of the country, and their responsibility is as heavy as Mount Tai.”

"Imperial envoy Liu Songyuan, who was delivering disaster relief to Tongzhou, has disappeared for no apparent reason."

"I am worried about the government in the prefectures and counties, and the officials in the prefectures and cities are not familiar with the administration. The people below have no way of knowing the details, and even the people's livelihood is unknown."

"The Jiangbei Dao is the lifeline of the country, and its position is particularly important. I value it very much."

"I hereby promote General Li Changsheng of the Qianwuwei Army to be the ambassador of Jiangbei Dao, in charge of all military and political affairs of Tongzhou, to patrol on my behalf, provide disaster relief to the people, rectify the administration of officials, and clear the river channels. Wherever I go, it is as if I am personally present. If there are undecided matters, I can exercise my discretion. I decree this!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Chai Yuhui, Lu Tianshuo and their subordinates received the order and were terrified.

Not to mention Wang Tong, the governor of Tongzhou, even if Li Changsheng killed them all, it would still be an easy task.

Li Changsheng put away the imperial edict and looked at them:

"Do you think that since the emperor is far away, you can do whatever you want and act like a local emperor?"

"I don't dare!"

Everyone shuddered and replied in unison.

Li Changsheng pointed at Wang Tong's head and said calmly:
"I came here and inspected all the counties in Tongzhou. The disaster was so severe that it was shocking. What are you doing?"

"The governor of the state, Wang Tong, is in charge of a region. Outside, there is widespread grief, but he is doing nothing here, flirting with the maids and telling me that he has no way to deal with them. But he has a way to play with women!"

Everyone buried their heads on the ground, not daring to breathe!

"I don't care what you did before. I will remember it for now and give you a chance to redeem yourself."

"If anyone dares to neglect his duties and hinder me again, I will be merciless!"

"As the prince commands, I will not hesitate to die even if my heart is broken into pieces!"

Everyone said in unison.

"This king does not want to hear this nonsense."

Li Changsheng glanced at everyone and ordered:
"Tongzhou Sima Chai Yuhui temporarily took over the post of governor, integrated the Tongzhou government, opened the granaries and released grain to provide relief to the victims."

"At the same time, we will organize disaster victims to build houses and provide them with work instead of relief. For those who work, we will not only provide them with food, but also give them appropriate wages!"

"I obey your orders, but..."

Chai Yuhui said cautiously: "But the grain and money stored in Tongzhou Prefecture may not be enough to support the relief of so many disaster victims."

"I have brought 1 billion taels of silver and supplies, plus the grain stored in Tongzhou Prefecture, which is enough to help the victims!" "Anyone who dares to embezzle the disaster relief funds will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

"Pacifying Envoy Lu Tianshuo!"

"The subordinate is here!"

"You will lead the demon slayer guards and be responsible for searching and rescuing the victims and maintaining law and order."

"Subordinate to obey!"

With the arrival of Li Changsheng, the sluggish machine of Tongzhou Prefecture started to run rapidly.

In particular, Li Changsheng killed the governor Wang Tong with one sword.

Just like cutting off the obstacle stuck in the machine, no one dared to touch Li Changsheng's tiger whiskers at this moment.

Outside the city, porridge stalls and shelters were built.

The victims now have food to eat and a fighting spirit in their eyes.

When they heard that they would be paid for the work, they rushed to work hard and were very motivated.

Li Changsheng also does not conduct regular inspections.

Anyone who caused trouble or engaged in corruption was killed.

The headless body of the governor Wang Tong was also decomposed by Li Changsheng using the Yugui Space.

This guy was greedy for money and lustful, and he disregarded human life. He did all kinds of bad things and he deserves no pity for his death.

Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, nor with the disappearance of the former imperial envoy Liu Songyuan.

"Liu Songyuan's disappearance is most likely caused by the White Lotus Cult!"

Li Changsheng had some guesses.

Although Wang Tong is the governor of a state, he is only a perfect grandmaster. In Li Changsheng's eyes, he is not a big shot.

"My Lord, something bad has happened!"

Tongzhou Sima Chai Yuhui hurried over and reported:

"Your Majesty, the water level of the Black River has risen sharply and is about to burst its banks!"

“The water level of the Black River is rising?”

Li Changsheng looked at the sky and it was not raining. The rising water level might be due to a problem upstream.

"I'll go take a look!"

He took a step forward and disappeared in the governor's mansion.

"The prince is truly powerful!"

Chai Yuhui was filled with emotion, envy and awe.

He also has the cultivation level of a late grandmaster, but he doesn't even know how Li Changsheng left.

He hurried towards Heihe with Lu Tianshuo.

Over Heihe.

Li Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire Heihe River.

“The water level is rising too fast!”

Li Changsheng frowned: "If we don't stop it, the Black River will burst its banks and flood a large area, even the newly built shelter!"

Li Changsheng went upstream along the Heihe River.

Wow!
The water next door is surging and turbulent, it is the Molong River, the source of the Heihe River.

Looking at the Molong River, which is only separated from the Heihe River by a mountain, Li Changsheng had an idea:
"If I split this mountain, wouldn't it be possible for the water of the Black River to flow back into the Molong River? Then the water level will naturally drop!"

Li Changsheng pulled out the lone star, poured his true energy into it, and with the blessing of the five-colored sword spirit, it turned into a three-hundred-foot five-colored sword energy.

"That is."

Sima Chai Yuhui and the pacification envoy Lu Tianshuo, who had hurriedly chased after them using light skills, opened their eyes wide and looked at the three hundred feet long five-colored sword energy, their souls trembling.

"What does the prince want to do?"

"cut!"

Li Changsheng slashed with his sword, but there was no deafening sound, as if he was slashing in the air.

next moment.

Rumble!
The water of the Black River suddenly dropped, and the mountain, which was four hundred feet high, was split into two, with a canyon in the middle.

The incision was smooth, yet still retained a terrifying edge.

Chai Yuhui and Lu Tianshuo’s eyes widened. Is this the strength of Heavenly Sword King?

Cut the mountain with one knife! ?

So terrifying! ?

"Roar!"

Before they could come to their senses, a deafening dragon roar resounded through the sky.

In the distance, the vast Molong River was rising with huge waves hundreds of feet high.

A pitch-black dragon hundreds of feet long rose into the sky and rode the waves towards Li Changsheng, as if it was frightened by him.

"Beast, courting death!"
