Raising the Demon

Chapter 257
Outside the city of Xijing, a dam blocks the Tushui. The Tushui in winter has entered the dry season, and the river flows quietly. It has long since lost its ferocious appearance of rushing and roaring in summer.

Tushui, which was cut off by the dam, obediently followed the appearance of human planning, and imported aura into Xijing.

Two dams upstream and downstream, four diversion channels, and two large reservoirs constitute the lungs of Xijing.

In the middle of the night, a cold current hits, the bitter cold wind blows, the rushing river water gradually settles down, white flowers appear, and then a thin layer of ice flakes form, the ice flakes gradually thicken and connect with each other , finally completely frozen up.

There was snowflakes in the sky, and the snow fell bigger and bigger, covering the whole of Xijing, the whole of Xijing was quiet, no one was willing to stay outside, even the watchmen hid in their huts , drinking spirits.

The dam and river embankment were squeezed by the ice, and there were creaking and cracking sounds from time to time. Suddenly, a crack opened in the upstream dam.

Under the strong and slow force, the crack grew bigger and bigger, and finally collapsed.

"It's not good, the dam is cracked!" An exclamation resounded throughout the dam, and then the shrill horn sounded through the snowflakes all over the sky, resounding throughout the dam.

In the early morning, the supervisor of Dongting came to Zhizhengyuan.

Seeing the supervisor of Dongting, Zi Baifeng knew that maybe something was about to happen.

Sure enough, the supervisor of Dongting Division saw Zi Baifeng, made a embarrassed look, and said: "Zi Zhizheng..."

"Master Supervisor." Zi Baifeng cupped his hands and looked at him quietly.

Many brothers around stopped what they were doing and looked over together, their piercing eyes made people feel a lot of pressure.

"Zi Zhizheng..." The supervisor laughed dryly again, and then said: "There is a new appointment."

Zi Baifeng nodded silently, then smiled in an instant, and said, "What appointment?"

Seeing Zi Baifeng's expression, the supervisor breathed a sigh of relief.

He had heard long ago that this Zi Baifeng had a violent temper, he even dared to beat other Zhizheng violently, and he still hit the door, if he was beaten up here, there would be no reason for him.

"Yesterday the dam broke, Zizhizheng, did you know?" the supervisor asked.

Zi Baifeng nodded. Yesterday morning, he felt the aura content in Mengcheng dropped sharply, and the aura transmission efficiency in Xijing dropped by more than [-]%.

Moreover, this incident is a super big event for the entire Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry's water department was directly dismissed from the fifth grade member Wailang, and it has other uses.And the Master Dushui who was in charge of the dam was sent to prison directly for dereliction of duty, and he was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life in prison.

Zi Baifeng understood it very well. For the whole of Xijing, the dam is where the heart is. If the heart is destroyed, the whole body will be unable to move.And no matter how many years the dam has been in operation, whether the cause of the failure is force majeure or not, Mr. Du Shuishi will not be able to escape responsibility.

"At the regular meeting two days ago, Li Qingyang and Li Langzhong said that Zizhizheng has a great research on the formation method, and he has outstanding talents, is honest and trustworthy, especially the formation method, and is very good at it, so I propose to all the adults in the Ministry of Industry. You Zizhizheng will take over the post of Dushui envoy for the time being, tentatively from the seventh rank, and when he becomes full-time in the coming year, he will be able to position the seventh rank."

Lord Sijian cupped his hands to Zi Baifeng and said, "Congratulations, Lord Zi."

His supervisor is just a seventh-rank official, and his subordinates are still big. Compared with Zi Baifeng, he really has nothing to be proud of.

Zi Baifeng remained silent, and the supervisor did not dare to breathe.

In fact, most of Zi Baifeng's reaction had already been thought of.

In a place like Zhizhengyuan, life is good, benefits are high, there are not many jobs, there is a lot of power, and there is a lot of money. It is a first-class good position.

As the water envoy who is in charge of the dam, he has to stay away from the bustling center of Xijing and go to the place where the birds don't shit on the dam, especially in the current weather, which can freeze people to death, and the oil and water are not as good as it is now. The place is rich.What about a promotion?Who are you going to show off to?
Even if it is promoted to the seventh rank, people probably don't care much about it. After all, they are backed by a big family, and their talents are extremely outstanding.If this matter is not done well, maybe it will be a scapegoat instead. Who can I complain to when the time comes?

As long as you are not a fool, you will not want to go.

So, originally about this kind of appointment—especially this important appointment, Zi Baifeng should be notified by other more important people, but in the end, you push me and I push you, and finally fell to the poor supervisor adults' heads.

When he came, he had already thought about Zi Baifeng's unwillingness, and then he could only push all this to Shangguan, and let this troublesome uncle go to Shangguan.

"Li Qingyang." Zi Baifeng sneered.

It is not a secret that Zi Baifeng drove Li Qingyang out directly. It has long been spread throughout the Ministry of Industry and the Supervision Department. Ruojie.

But what is puzzling is that Mr. Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was really accurate. He went through the process in the Ministry of Officials, and he accepted his fate the next day.

It can only be said that Master Yi trusts Master Zi.

In fact, the supervisor is still secretly envious of Zi Baifeng, who has the kind of real talent and learning that Shangguan trusts so much, even if he stays on the dam for three to five years, he will not be able to make a fortune when he comes back?
But after thinking about it, he was already able to make a fortune, so why bother to suffer this crime?If something happens again, isn't it just asking for trouble?

"I'm going to be the envoy of Dushui, who will take over from Zhizhengyuan?" Zi Baifeng asked.

"Master Li Qingyang proposes..."

"Go and tell Li Qingyang, give him two choices, either I will expose him to the bottom and break his legs, or I will be chosen by Zhizhengyuan." Zi Baifeng said coldly, "Go ahead .”

The tone of his speech made it seem that the supervisor was not his superior, but his subordinate.

But the supervisor didn't dare to say a fart, he kept responding, wiped the sweat off his face, turned around and left.

It was the first time he had seen such a negotiation with Shangfeng.

"My lord!" As soon as the supervisor left, the people around him surrounded him.

No matter whether they were officials or servants, they all looked at Zi Baifeng with concern.

"My lord, are you leaving?" A servant was extremely reluctant and said, "My lord, please don't go..."

During the time when Zi Baifeng was here, although he was busy, everyone was elated and indescribably happy, and Zi Baifeng was generous to others, and he was able to get along with them. Everyone would give a thumbs up when they talked in private.

"My lord..." Deputy Lu Zhi and others also came over.

"It's okay, it's just a temporary leave." Zi Baifeng said, the only regret in his heart is that his road network plan was not completed after all, so he was excluded from Xijing.

It is still too difficult for one person to fight against one force.

"Everyone, don't worry, all the vice-presidents, all the inspectors, come here." Zi Baifeng waved his hand, he wanted to make some arrangements.

Not long after, all the deputy inspectors arrived, and Jin Taiyu, who was not seen at first, also arrived, putting on a solemn posture.Guo Xunzheng is also here. Recently, Guo Xunzheng has been extremely obedient, working conscientiously and diligently, without showing any arrogance at the beginning.

"Deputy Lu Zhi." Zi Baifeng said to Lu Zhifu: "I suggest that Qi Xunzheng do it for the Zhizheng of Zhizheng Yuan."

This seat is special, not for ordinary people to sit in.

"I understand." Lu Zhi said, Zi Baifeng told him first, which made him feel very good.

Jin Taiyu's expression immediately collapsed, gloomy as if it could drip water.

Zi Baifeng glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

At the beginning, he thought that Jin Taiyu was pitiful, so he proposed to help Jin Taiyu, who would have thought that in the end it would be a Zhongshan wolf.

"My lord, I don't know what to do. I'll go with you to build the dam." Qi Xunzheng said.

"Old Qi, Zhizhengyuan needs someone who can carry it. If you leave, there will be no suitable candidate. We have worked hard for several months, and I don't want others to come to my side to pick peaches. Otherwise, you are a principled person, and the brothers will obey you."

Several other inspectors nodded repeatedly to express their support.

"Brother Qi, don't worry, I'll go to repair the dam with my lord." Guo Xunzheng said, these days, his performance has become better and better, and everyone only thinks that he has changed his mind.Only Zi Baifeng still has some guard against him.

"My lord..." Before Qi Xunzheng finished speaking, Zi Baifeng waved his hand and said, "That's it, Lao Qi, do your best."

"Yes, my lord." Qi Xunzheng knew that staying here would be of great use to him, so he stopped insisting.

"Brothers, I want to transfer some to follow me, there must be some who can be used smoothly." Zi Baifeng said, he wanted to take Ge Tou'er, he was a good hand at work.

"My lord, just take us all there." Several inspectors said.

"My lord." Lu Zhi said, Zi Baifeng looked at him.

"My lord, although my lord can't be a Zhizheng, my lord is good at managing logistics. If my lord doesn't dislike me, I want to go to the dam with my lord." Deputy Lu Zhi said.

He was really tired of staying in Zhizhengyuan and wanted to change the environment.

Besides, he didn't want to face Qi Xunzheng, who would become his boss in the future. Although there was no barrier between them, there would always be lumps in his heart.

Zi Baifeng thought for a while, then nodded silently.

Back in the study in the backyard, Zi Baifeng spread his palms.

Zhizheng's seal is still in the palm of my hand.

It's just that all this doesn't belong to him anymore.

He put his hands together, closed his eyes, then separated his hands, and a seal slowly emerged.

The severe pain was like heart-wrenching lungs, and it was more painful than taking out the spiritual energy from between the eyebrows, but Zi Baifeng gritted his teeth and said nothing.

If you fail, you must bear the consequences of failure.

As Zi Baifeng pulled out the big seal, his control over the world gradually disappeared.

The aura from the Raising Demon Art receded like a tide, receding into roads, rivers, and courtyards, and buried deep in the ground.

When Zi Baifeng opened his eyes again, this world was no longer under his control.

Zi Baifeng felt weak and sad that he had never felt before. He squatted down and shrank behind the desk. At this moment, he just wanted to cry.

　The second update yesterday, the cold is better, today there is a red ticket, and then I have to watch gravity, so I will update it until evening.
