Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 178 Mabel
Deng Chanyu had no friendship with the Fang brothers, but she had heard from Daji before that the brothers had the idea of ​​seeking refuge in the underworld, so she immediately stated her requirements and conditions.

"I hope you, my dear brothers, can help me rescue Uncle Mei and Old Madam Mei. In return, I can help you two get positions in the underworld."

The Phoenix is ​​about to absorb all the essence and blood of the Ancestral Witch, and will then send Zhu Rong's body to the underworld. It would be unreasonable for Empress Pingxin not to reward her handsomely, and asking for two positions in the underworld is really a small matter.

This matter doesn't even need to go through Niangniang Pingxin, Daji, who is acting as the King of Hell, can arrange it for their brothers.

The two brothers were a little hesitant, or their minds were slow, and they hadn't figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

Deng Chanyu looked at the sky and said firmly, "Mei Bo will be executed soon. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Fang Bi and Fang Xiang exchanged glances. Were they really going to rebel against Chaoge? King Zhou was actually quite nice to them.
Fang Xiang was more decisive and gritted his teeth: "Brother, let's do it!"

People like them who have some witch blood in them will find an organization when they go to the underworld. If the human world is not good, the underworld will be good!
"Little Taoist priest, what if you lied to us?"

"Then you can let Daji scold me!"

"Okay, we brothers did it!"

Fang Bi and Fang Xiang acted immediately, striding forward towards the Meridian Gate.

"Hey? Where are you going? It's not time to get off duty yet!" The other warriors in front of the palace didn't see Deng Chanyu at all. They only knew that the two brothers suddenly ran away. They looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Two people who usually looked down on the Fang brothers even said a few sarcastic remarks, thinking that the two were fools and had miscalculated the time for their shift.

The Fang brothers completely ignored the thoughts of their former colleagues and rushed to the Meridian Gate together.

The captain supervising the execution at the Meridian Gate noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Stop them! Stop them quickly! Shoot!"

The eight-meter-tall Mo brothers appeared on the battlefield, looking like human meat grinders. The twelve-meter-tall Fang brothers were as tall as a four-story building. As warriors in front of the palace, they were still wearing full sets of armor. When they ran, the ground would tremble slightly.

The captain immediately ordered his men to shoot arrows, but the arrows were simply unable to pierce the armor. Occasionally a few arrows pierced the flesh, but did not cause any pain.

Fang Bi grabbed the two-meter-high, red-hot copper pillar and held it in his hand like a toy. With a slight swing, he knocked down a group of soldiers.

Fang Xiang encountered two elephants. These were tributes from Nanjun. The four-meter-tall elephants looked so small and cute when they met the twelve-meter-tall giants.

The two elephants were so scared that they knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, big man!

The Fang brothers were only wearing armor and had no weapons in their hands. Fang Xiang grabbed the two elephants like two stones, one on the left and one on the right, and smashed them at the soldiers blocking the way.

There was chaos at the Meridian Gate. Fang Bi threw away the bronze pillar and grabbed the confused Mei Bo. Fang Xiang grabbed Madam Mei, and the two rushed out of Chaoge City.

"How dare you! The Fang brothers actually rebel against Chaoge!" King Zhou was so angry that his face turned red and he threw away the wine glass.

"King Wucheng, Grand Marshal, lead the troops in pursuit immediately! Once captured, behead the Fang brothers and Mei Bo on the spot!"

"I accept the decree."

Huang Feihu and Deng Jiugong exchanged a glance, then took command and led their troops in pursuit. The two men, accompanied by their respective retainers and family guards, pursued for a while, returning a day later to report that they had not caught up.

King Zhou asked where the Fang brothers had been.

Deng Jiugong didn't say anything. Huang Feihu said that the two brothers disappeared in the swamp in the east. Believe it or not, this is the answer anyway.

King Zhou was suspicious and sulking.

Before, he thought that all the civil and military officials in the court were traitors, but he never expected that even the gatekeepers like Fang Bi and Fang Xiang would rebel. For a moment, he had great doubts about his own judgment.

Huang Feihu's claim that the Fang brothers went east was true. Could it be that this was to help his sister, Concubine Huang, attack the empress, Empress Jiang? After all, Empress Jiang's father was Jiang Hengchu, the Marquis of Dongbo.

What if what Huang Feihu said was true? If the Jiang family plotted to seize the Shang Dynasty, could his son still be trusted? Could his queen still be trusted?
The resignation of the two security guards made King Zhou suspect that someone was coveting his position as chairman, and his suspicion grew.
Deng Chanyu welcomed Uncle Mei and Madam Mei who came from afar in Nanjun.

The old lady thanked him repeatedly, saying that what happened that day was like a dream, full of unreality.

Deng Chanyu asked her to sit down. The old lady wanted to kowtow to her again, so she hurried to help her. After several attempts, she finally got the old lady to sit down. She looked at Mei Bo.

"The situation in Chaoge is chaotic, and the situation in the south is even more complicated. If Senior Doctor is unable to return north for the time being, why not stay in Nanjun and review and address any shortcomings in my administration?"

Mei Bo certainly knew the Deng family. King Zhou had forced the Deng father and son to stay in Chaoge City, letting Deng Jiugong's daughter manage the vast southern empire. This was a very clever political tactic. If someone else had been in charge, the south would have been in chaos by now.

Mei Bo was a little reluctant. The Deng family's advantage now is that they are good at fighting and have a large number of soldiers, but they do not have a clear political stance. Outsiders don't know what you think, which is very fatal for a political group.

He stiffened his neck and said, "The Shang king is unjust and will eventually destroy the Shang dynasty. This is beyond human power to reverse. But I am a senior official of the Shang dynasty, having served through three dynasties. I no longer wish to serve as a vassal."

Mrs. Mei quickly winked at him, signaling him to be more tactful. Uncle Mei closed his eyes, pretending not to see.

Deng Chanyu thought for a moment and said, "Nanjun is ultimately part of the Shang Dynasty. It's impossible for Mei Bo to be promoted to the position of a doctor."

She is not an enemy of the Shang Dynasty now, so it is impossible for a wanted criminal from there to become a high-ranking official on her side.

"I will build my own Governor's Office. I would like to ask Mei Bo to serve as the Censor of the Censorate under my Governor's Office. Is that okay?"

The Shang Dynasty's senior official can no longer hold the position, so why don't we just create another official position? It's no big deal.

What is the relationship between Mei Bo, the censor of the Censorate of Nanjun, and Mei Bo, the wanted criminal of the Shang Dynasty?
"What kind of work does this Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate need to do?"

"When a policy measure is inappropriate, the Censors of the Metropolitan Censorate will remind and advise me, the Governor-General. They will also inspect the local areas and investigate corruption. Everything from the Governor-General's Office to the daily work of ordinary people is under the purview of the Censors. However, the Censors only have the right to make suggestions and cannot arrest or detain officials of the Governor-General's Office without authorization."

The official system of the Shang Dynasty was not so detailed. The higher-ups would just think of a job and then appoint a doctor to do it.

Mei Bo wasn't actually capable of doing the specific civil service work. You asked him to encourage farmers, conduct research, build bridges and roads, be a strategist, offer advice, plan strategies, and win battles from afar? He could do all of that terribly, but when it came to finding fault and criticizing superiors, he was an expert! He had a keen eye for finding fault and a sharp tongue.
