Raising the Demon

Chapter 156
Zi Baifeng couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on the matter at hand.

When Mengcheng Mansion was first built, it is estimated that there were experts who gave advice and calculated factors such as feng shui, and because Mengcheng Mansion is the place where the beliefs of the entire Mengcheng gather, the aura of Mengcheng Mansion is the strongest in the entire Mengcheng.At this moment, before the officials outside had completely dispersed, Zi Baifeng followed the aura of the Mengcheng Mansion and observed carefully.

A person in Mengcheng Mansion, in Zi Baifeng's vision, showed dark and shallow dots.

A black dot is striding out of Mengcheng mansion, that is Luoqianshan, he and Zi Baifeng have a life-and-death friendship, and they trust him extremely.

The sergeants around him are all hollow circles of different shades, some black and some white inside, they don't trust Zi Baifeng as much as Luo Qianshan, but they are all controlled by Luo Qianshan , so as long as Luo Qianshan trusts Zi Baifeng, they will be Zi Baifeng's help, which is like the attitude of a villager of Xiayan Village towards Zi Baifeng under the coercion of Sigou.

There is no doubt about Luo Qianshan's control, Zi Baifeng felt that these people don't need to worry, so he ignored them and continued to watch.

The two dots, white inside and black outside, are outside Zi Baifeng's study room. They are two documents.

Zi Baifeng had some doubts about these two people, but soon understood.

These two people don't trust Zi Baifeng very much, but they obey Zi Baifeng's authority, so it is this kind of dot that is white on the inside and black on the outside, just like Luo Qianshan's subordinates obey his authority.

After understanding this point, Zi Baifeng found that there are many such people in Mengcheng Mansion.

They may not trust Zi Baifeng, but they trust the authority. They don't need to think too much, they just need to follow the order. When there is a conflict of orders, whoever is the official will naturally listen to him.

This is also the normal state of this world. Most people have no interest in any power struggles or struggles for power and profit.

What's more, now that the whole of Mengcheng is in the midst of famine, and only people like Mengcheng Mansion can get salaries without drought or flood, so that the old snacks can have enough food.

The famine in Mengcheng is a test for Mengcheng, but from another perspective, it is good news for Zi Baifeng.

In this case, those without too much ambition will unite more closely with Zi Baifeng and will not change course easily.

However, this phenomenon is limited to grassroots personnel. Mengcheng's second in command, Zi Baifeng's current deputy, Master Bo is a complete white dot, not even a little black.

When the Fujun was around, the Master Bo could still assist the Fujun with due diligence, but when the Fujun left, he actually put the hat of acting the Fujun on Zi Baifeng's body, which made the Master Bo completely out of anger and could no longer help him. Think rationally.

At this time, Lord Bo must never have imagined that Zi Baifeng could use unusual means to see his every move.

The master's study and the Fujun's study are separated by a courtyard, and in the middle is the courtyard where the Fujun and the master's clerks are located.At this moment, Master Bo was pacing up and down in his study like a trapped lone wolf, and there was another Xiangzheng standing in his room, the Xiangzheng of Xiding Township.

"Master Bo, the car has been prepared outside the mansion. Shall we start now?" Xi Dingxiang was lowering his head and asked cautiously. Speaking of it, it is also a kind of torment. At this moment, getting too close to Master Bo is not necessarily a good thing.

Just look at Master Bo's expression at this moment.

At this time, Xiding Township is even regretting that he should not have invited Master Bo to visit his Xiding Township. My lord, will you regard yourself as a diehard loyalist of Lord Bo?
Zi Baifeng watched the dot representing Xiding Township keep jumping back and forth, turning black and white for a while, which showed the fierce struggle in his heart.

"If Master Bo...if it is inconvenient at this time, I will leave first. I will invite Master Bo later when Master Bo is free." Xi Dingxiang bowed quietly, as if he wanted to retreat.

"You dare!" Zhu Bo suddenly turned his head, and a porcelain pen washer slammed into pieces in front of Xiding Xiangzheng: "Ding Sanji, let me tell you, if you dare to go out through this door, you will never come back again in the future." Beg me Bai Shun!"

Zheng Ding Sanji of Xiding Township hurriedly lowered his head and said with a smile, "Master Bo, what did you say, what did you say..."

He was secretly annoyed, but he didn't dare to offend Mr. Bo, he was just an ordinary township official, and Xiding Township was the worst-hit township in Mengcheng.

He was the one who complained to the Fujun that Zibaifeng should not take in the refugees. At the beginning, he was only worried that when the cold winter passed, the people of Xiding Township would flee on a large scale, resulting in the loss of people and the barrenness of cultivated land. According to the township, it is a great crime.

So when the Fujun announced that he would go to Xijing and someone else would exercise the power of the Fujun on his behalf, Ding Sanji immediately moved closer to Master Bo. The power center of the city.

But at this moment, when everything was settled, Ding Sanji was dumbfounded.

It turned out that Zi Baifeng, whom he had sued before, became the palace lord?
how is this possible?what to do?How?
He felt that he had already offended Zi Baifeng, so he didn't dare to offend Lord Bo, he shot his pen and cut his ankle, he didn't dare to say a word, just laughed with him, and let Lord Bo spit Waiting for Mr. Bo to calm down a little, he pouted his buttocks again and picked up the fragments of brush washer on the ground one by one.

Seeing Ding Sanji's performance like this, Zhu Bo only felt that his heart was a lot smoother. Now he urgently needs the respect and attention of others, so as to heal the gully in his heart.

"Let's go, you and I will go to Xiding Township together." Master Bo said to Ding Sanji, and then walked out first.

The other Xiangzhengs didn't leave either, they were standing in the corridor of the front yard, discussing something in a low voice, the sky suddenly changed in Mengcheng, the Lord Fujun left, and Zi Baifeng took over, the reaction time given to them was really short. too short.

Lord Fujun called Zi Baifeng into the mansion many times before, and they never thought much about it, because Zi Baifeng has always been the Lord Fujun's favorite general, whether it is to consult or arrange something, it is normal.The servants, guards, etc. in the mansion are also their eyes, and these people have never disclosed any information——Zi Baifeng's visit to Mengcheng Mansion is like visiting his own garden. Everyone knows about this, even Mr. Luo Qianshan, who has always trusted him, is not as comfortable as Zi Baifeng.

But at this moment, Zi Baifeng actually turned Mengcheng Mansion into his garden.

Of course they would not know that Zi Baifeng was watching them from above their heads.

There are three pavilions and sixteen townships in Mengcheng. There are three pavilion chiefs and sixteen townships. Among them, Zi Jiuyan Township is still Zi Baifeng. Three townships have already returned because of important matters. Bo is together, so here are the chiefs of Santing and Eleven Townships. Three of them have a little trust in Zi Baifeng. One of them is a friend of Luo Qianshan. He has been with Zi Baifeng for a long time. had a drink.The other two pavilion chiefs, one was pulled up by the Fujun with one hand, he was regarded as the Fujun's confidant, and the other one didn't have a special cold for Zi Baifeng. In fact, it was not without reason. Hu Caijun's uncle in the same family, and the entire Hu family, Hu Caijun is probably the only one who is friendly to Zi Baifeng.

As for the remaining township officials, one of them is so old that he can barely walk, who says black is not black, white is not white, and gray is not gray. He is a grandfather of Hu Caijun, the township official of Hu Baoxiang.

Of the remaining ten, one counts as one, and none of them trust Zi Baifeng.

In fact, the reason is very simple. They and Zi Baifeng are both township officials, and they are considered to be in a competitive relationship with each other.

In Mengcheng, where there is almost no business like this, compared with the head of the pavilion, the land and population in charge of Xiangzheng are far more than that of the head of the pavilion, and the real status is also higher than that of the head of the pavilion. Acting Fujun theoretical contender.

Some people may not have realized this before, but Zi Baifeng's ascension to the throne of Fujun as a township leader aroused their thoughts, and everyone began to hate Zi Baifeng in hindsight.

Seeing this, Zi Baifeng could only smile wryly. In the past, he only devoted himself to the development of Jiuyan Township, but he never got in touch with these people. Now, he is really lonely.

In fact, it’s no wonder Zi Baifeng. Nine out of ten of these township leaders are spokespersons for local clan forces. They are all over [-] years old. There is no common language, not all the way.

They discussed in low voices. Although they would not make a decision to advance or retreat together, they had already reached a certain consensus, that is, go back to their respective houses and see what Zi Baifeng will do.

To be honest, they are not optimistic about Zi Baifeng.

Governing a city is not governing a village. Even Zi Baifeng's ability to govern a township, they don't necessarily agree with it, such as Zi Baifeng's move to accommodate refugees.

But they didn't dare to offend Zi Baifeng directly, after all, all kinds of miracles that Zi Baifeng showed were beyond their ability to deal with.

It is rumored that there are many sword immortals under Zi Baifeng's command, who come and go, and can take the head of someone thousands of miles away.

They don't want to sleep with their concubine in their arms one day, only to wake up to find that their heads are gone, and there is a bull's head and a horse's face standing in front of the bed.

These people saw Zhu Bo and Ding Sanji approaching from a distance, exchanged a few glances with each other, and immediately dispersed, each running to the stables and post stations, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye.

Only the fellow from Hu Bao Township who was too old to walk was left, hunched over and leaning on a walking stick, muttering something while slowly moving forward.
