The world of Taoism

Chapter 267 Regiment Training Envoy (seeking monthly ticket)

"Rich households in the city?" Zhou Xuan turned to look at Zhou He, "What's going on?"

Zhou He frowned and thought about it, and after a while he seemed to understand something, and said, "I probably understand."

The Zhou family was originally a wealthy family in the county.

He didn't have much connections, but he was brought up abruptly by relying on Zhou Xuan's strength.

After mentioning Jiangnan County, coupled with the care of the policy, the strength of the Zhou family expanded rapidly

It has become a first-class family in Jiangnan County, and its background is comparable to that of some centuries-old families.

But the cake is only so big, the rise of the Zhou family has violated the interests of others.

It might not be easy to say anything in the Taiping era, after all, the Zhou family was also taken care of by officials.

However, in this chaotic world, where swords and guns have no eyes, and people's hearts are unpredictable, it is reasonable if something happens.

So the big families in the city gathered one after another and secretly funded the bandits, just like the bandits came to attack the Zhou family, and agreed to share the benefits with each other.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhengxiong's father happened to be among them, and sent Lin Zhengxiong to secretly report the news.

"So that's how it is." Zhou Xuan immediately cupped his hands to Lin Zhengxiong, "Thank you, Brother Lin, for your help."

"You don't have to be polite, just lead your brother to get promoted and make a fortune in the future." Lin Zhengxiong smiled and said it in very straightforward words.

"Of course." Zhou Xuan smiled.

He just likes Lin Zhengxiong's straightforward character, saying what he says, never beating around the bush.

If it is said that brotherly love is deep, Zhou Xuan feels a little nauseous.

Adults talk about interests.

To put it bluntly, Lin Zhengxiong wanted to get promoted and make a fortune with himself, to enjoy wealth, and to be a child, so he came here to tip the news.

That being the case, Zhou Xuan of course had to push the boat along.

"Then send people to the county town, pretend to be bandits, and let them have a taste of being ransacked." Zhou Xuan said, "By the way, who are there?"

"Cao Zhang's household, and the Liu family of the regiment training envoy. It is mainly these two families, and there are other rich households. I don't think it is a bandit, and it should have a lot to do with this regiment training envoy." Zhou He said.

"Regimental Envoy? Has this all come out?" Zhou Xuan was thinking about something else instead.

The so-called regiment training envoys are actually a kind of militia organization that allows localities to recruit soldiers and horses to solve matters within their jurisdiction by themselves.

It greatly saved the cost of the court, but also increased the power of the local government.

Although the imperial court also has ways to restrict it, it still cannot avoid the expansion of local powerful forces.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan raised his head and said to his subordinates, "Let's go now."

Jiangnan County City, east of the city.

In a large deep house, several middle-aged men were sitting in the hall, looking furtive, talking about something.

"I heard that the Patriarch of the Zhou family is a cultivator, won't we attract revenge by doing this?" the middle-aged man on the left asked worriedly.

Sitting next to him was a one-eyed man with a scar on his face, full of toughness.

"So what? Do you know who did it?" The man smiled.

The one-eyed man is the regiment trainer Liu Dong.He is a retired school official, with a lot of lives in his hands, and he has done a lot of things to kill good people and take meritorious service. He is more like a bandit than a bandit.

There is no psychological burden at all to do this kind of thing, but a little proud.

Liu Dong turned to look at an old man.

This old man looked strange, with dark skin, not like a Han Chinese, with his eyes closed, muttering about something.

"My lord wizard, what are you going to do?" Liu Dong said in a low voice.

"It's almost there." The old man opened his eyes and took out a scarecrow from his arms.

A charm was pasted on the scarecrow, with Zhou He's name and birth date written on it.

The old man took out a needle and aimed it at the scarecrow's head.

This is the technique of Nightmare Town, and it is also a curse technique.

Connect a person with the scarecrow through the personal things of the employer and the birth date.

As long as the scarecrow is hurt, there will be corresponding wounds on this person's body.

This is an extremely clever curse technique. There have been legends of this spell since ancient times, and many dignitaries avoided it.

This court ordered that anyone who encounters the technique of Nightmare Town shall be killed without guilt.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries have a high status, and there are countless master guards around them.

Ordinary people are not allowed to get close, so it is very difficult to kill a high-ranking official.

The curse technique is different, as long as the birth date, hair, or even clothes close to the body are used, one can die silently.

What a terrible thing this is for these noble people who cherish their lives.

"My lord, let's start quickly. When it's done, I will offer you a thousand pairs of gold." Liu Dong was also afraid of this nagging guy in his heart.

For the sake of huge benefits, he endured it abruptly.

During this period of time, the Zhou family could be said to be extremely rich. If it wasn't for Zhou Xuan, the family would have been ransacked and exterminated long ago.

Now this time is different, get the things in your hands first, and Zhou Xuan may not find him anyway.

And he now has more than 1000 people under his command.

Coupled with the protection of the magic stick in front of him, he is not afraid of such a small cultivator.

"Okay!" The old man nodded, just about to prick the scarecrow's head with a needle.

After thinking about it, he took back the iron needle in his hand and replaced it with another small knife.

The knife was aimed at the scarecrow's neck, trying to cut off the neck in one fell swoop.

Click!

With one stab, the head fell off.

But it was not the scarecrow's head that fell, but the old man's head.

Hot blood sprinkled on Liu Dong's head.

Liu Dong subconsciously turned his head, the scene in front of him almost made his heart jump out of fright.

I saw a man in black standing behind him.

The entire face of the man in black was covered by a black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes that were emotionless and full of murderous intent.

"Save..." Liu Dong didn't finish his sentence, and then his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness instantly.

After killing everyone present, the man in black tore off the cloth covering his face. This person was Zhou Xuan.

"Clean up and take away all your belongings."

At this moment, there was a noisy sound from outside the door. It turned out that Liu Dong's men heard the sound and surrounded them with troops.

Zhou Xuan and the others left in full view and did not continue to kill.

Going on like this may expose the true colors of myself and others, which is not conducive to what I will do in the future.

The next day, news of Liu Dong's death spread all over the world, and many people gloated at his misfortune.

Since this guy became a regiment training envoy, it can be said that he has committed all kinds of evil.

Relying on the soldiers under his command, he blackmailed the wealthy households around him all day long, causing people to suffer unspeakably, so it would be better to die now.

The county government office, the back hall.

A man in his 50s, with a refined appearance and a vermilion official uniform, sat on the case and dealt with government affairs.

This person is Fan Wenchou, Fan Wenxun's younger brother.

Fan Wenchou looked at the official documents on the case, frowned and thought deeply: "Liu Dong is actually dead, killed by bandits?"

For some reason, Fan Wenchou always felt something was wrong.

He knew Liu Dong's character. He made troubles all day long, and he didn't know how many people he offended. Maybe he was killed by his enemies.

But to die is to die.

Fan Wenchou was disappointed by this man.

I thought this guy could rectify one side, but he always caused trouble.

His subordinates are also a bunch of idlers, so they know Yurou Township.

Fan Wenchou originally planned to remove it, but he was afraid of making people anxious, so he could only endure it.

Now that he is killed, Fan Wenchou wants to applaud.

"Who killed it?" Fan Wenchou was a little puzzled.

"I killed it."

Fan Wenchou suddenly raised his head and found a person standing in front of him. Just as he was about to call someone, the person suddenly spoke.

"Master Fan, do you remember me?" Through the candlelight, the face of the person in front of me gradually emerged.

"Zhou Xuan, no, it's Master Tianshi." Fan Wenchou stood up and bowed to Zhou Xuan.

The scope of family affairs is also understood.

Knowing that the family has turned to Shenxiao Tianzun, and this person in front of him is the celestial master of Yushu Academy of Shenxiao Palace, that is, their immediate boss.

"You don't need to be too polite, I and your lord are old acquaintances, see you today, Mr. Fan's demeanor is even better than before." Zhou Xuan said politely.

, After the two of them were polite, Fan Wenchou got to the point: "Did Liu Dong be killed by Master Tianshi?"

"That's right, this person is so arrogant and domineering that he actually set his mind on my Zhou family. He will not cry when he sees the coffin."Zhou Xuan snorted coldly.

"Good kill, Master Tianshi, don't worry, it will never be leaked this time. Liu Dong was killed by a strong man, and has nothing to do with the Zhou family."

After offending Liu Jing, Fan Wenchou and the Zhou family are now in a relationship that is both prosperous and prosperous, so it is natural to help Zhou Xuan cover up the truth of the matter.

"Of course, I don't want others to pour dirty water on the Zhou family."

Zhou Xuan changed the subject and said seriously: "There are more important things to come here this time."

"What's the matter?" Fan Wenchou was puzzled.

"I want to be a team training envoy."
