"Go to the guard unit's kitchen first and add some secret seasoning to their lunch."
He talked to Wei Shufen by the incense, spending all his time researching Gu poison. He happened to have the opportunity to refine a small amount of Gu poison to give the guards a good time.
···
After noon, at the governor's house, the table full of food and wine was in disarray, and the smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of perfume lingered in the hall.
After a hearty meal and drinks, the county magistrate loosely embraced a beautiful woman in his arms, his eyes glazed with drunkenness as he sighed deeply.
"The situation is unstable, and it's hard to make money. I've been planning this for so long, and I've created a lot of anxiety throughout the city. I was just waiting to reap the rewards smoothly, but then a Taoist priest with real skills suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
"I can't get in touch with Mr. Liu, and the remaining walking corpse was killed by the ghost. I asked that Taoist priest to subdue the female ghost, but I don't know how it will turn out."
"The province is still undergoing reforms, and there's revolution everywhere. The old system was perfectly fine, so why change it? I can't even be a father to the people anymore. What about the title of 'parent official' that has been used since ancient times? It's just an empty name now!"
Alas, it's early summer, yet it's such a troublesome time.
The beautiful woman chuckled lightly: "No matter how you change it, it's just a different way of saying it. As long as you're still in this position, in this small town, the heavens are under the jurisdiction of the gods, and the earth is under your jurisdiction. That won't change."
The county magistrate asked again in confusion, "Why did Mr. Liu leave without saying goodbye, abandoning the walking corpse? In this chaotic world, his methods should be invincible, allowing him to thrive."
The beautiful woman asked, "Could it be related to that female ghost?"
"The corpse-driver was scared out of his wits by the ghosts? Hahaha! I just hope that Taoist priest can get rid of the ghost problem in the suburbs and leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause me any more trouble."
"It's alright, what's there to be afraid of? The men we have are armed."
The county magistrate opened his small eyes and leered at the woman: "I also have a gun hidden somewhere. Want to play with it?"
"You look terrible!"
···
Two figures were crouching on the roof of the blue-tiled house.
The foxhound sat between the roof tiles, while Zhang Huaiyi sat cross-legged beside it. Every sound from inside the house reached their ears.
"I understand, I guessed correctly, let's do it."
"Now?" Zhang Huaiyi asked.
The fox was startled: "You still want to watch?"
What's coming next is content that requires payment to unlock.
Chapter 93 Zheng Yi Gang?
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not interested in that kind of thing." Zhang Huaiyi made his position clear and asked about the guard regiment: "Have the armed guards really been dealt with?"
Hey~
The fox with its pointed snout gave a wicked smile. Because of the addition of a poison that promotes intestinal peristalsis, the kitchen was now a scene of hell. Forget about holding a gun, it would be a good thing if anyone could even stand up.
"Stop laughing, I know what you mean," Zhang Huaiyi said.
The fox pointed its paw forward: "Go, it's chosen you, Zhang Huaiyi!"
After the future "One Person", let me witness the brilliance of "Under One Person".
Zhang Huaiyi glanced helplessly at the fox. "Don't treat me like a thug and order me around. What was your relationship with the fox like when you traveled together?"
Swish!
Zhang Huaiyi flipped over and leaped down, smashing the window and bursting into the hall, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.
The county magistrate, who had barely managed to suppress the effects of the alcohol and stand up straight, was startled and collapsed again. Pulling up his trousers, he asked in a panic, "Taoist priest, what brings you here? Has the ghost problem in the suburbs been resolved?"
"The ghost in this city is probably someone else entirely."
"What do you mean, Taoist priest?"
Before Zhang Huaiyi could reply, a crisp "crashing" sound came from the roof, the green tiles flew up, and shards of pottery flew everywhere.
The beautiful woman screamed and curled up in a ball. The county magistrate, shifting his corpulent body and staggering half a step, pointed at the roof and demanded, "Who's up there?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than something, accompanied by a biting black wind, smashed through the roof.
Blinding sunlight poured down through the huge hole, splitting the hall into two halves of light and shadow. A black fox stood steadily on the edge of the hole, its golden eyes lowered, looking down at the two terrified people inside.
Chen Ruoan said, "Not human."
"This land, and the heavens, are all under my jurisdiction."
"A deity?" The woman's voice trembled.
The county magistrate clenched his fists, his heart sinking. The fox was clearly overhearing his earlier complaints when it spoke these superstitious words.
"Help! Help!"
"Where is the commander-in-chief?!"
The fat magistrate shouted in a panic, but no one responded. He then took the copper bell and shook it frantically.
Chen Ruoan flicked his paw, and the broken tiles fell into the hall, hitting the county magistrate's black hat.
"Don't bother, the kitchen is bustling with activity."
The county magistrate clutched his head, pleading, "What are you trying to do? If you want money, I have it! Just don't hurt me!"
"Let's start with Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Liu? That's a corpse-driver from western Hunan, who controls more than a dozen corpses. We were plotting something together, but he ran away yesterday!"
"The Liu family of Xiangxi?"
Zhang Huaiyi was quite surprised. Speaking of which, there has been a rumor circulating in the circle recently that several members of the Liu family have caused trouble and created a lot of problems.
Most of the young men from the Liu family who fled were hot-blooded and arrogant, and they frequently appeared on battlefields after wars. Having experienced war, some areas had many abandoned graves and dead bodies, which was indeed suitable for the methods of the corpse-driving sect to be used.
Manipulating corpses utilizes the corpse energy transformed from Qi. Once a walking corpse is created, it is easy to form a large numerical advantage. The younger generation of the Liu family used their numbers to bully the weak, giving the corpse-driving lineage a considerable fearsome reputation.
"Master Dao, I've already told you, what do you think..."
Zhang Huaiyi crossed his arms and pondered. This villain who preyed on the villagers and oppressed the people should be killed to appease the people's hearts. But if he killed him, how would he deal with the trouble that followed?
This area was still ruled by warlords, whose core objectives were to suppress all resistance, confiscate civilian firearms, purge the Communists, stabilize tax revenue, and consolidate their rule...
Killing an official is tantamount to denying the provincial government's power to appoint officials and govern, which will result in severe retaliation and harm innocent people.
"As long as it's handled cleanly and neatly, that's fine." A sentence rang in Zhang Huaiyi's ears.
"Hmm...that's true, but how do I do it?" he wondered to himself.
"Based on administrative loopholes, information gaps, and unspoken rules of power, it's most appropriate to fake a sudden death from an illness. Otherwise, we'll have to have the clerk impersonate the county magistrate and then tightly control the clerk."
"Then faking a sudden death is the simplest solution."
Zhang Huaiyi nodded repeatedly, his murderous intent rising. If he could fake his sudden death, then being struck by lightning would be perfectly reasonable.
Hmm, why am I about to take action?
Zhang Huaiyi suddenly turned his head and saw the fox lying on the round table, leisurely blowing a demonic wind.
and many more!
Why does this fox seem to have heard my thoughts?
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the county magistrate hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, please spare my life, Master!"
Chen Ruoan interjected, "The official who just called himself a father figure is now so scared that he's calling him 'Grandpa'?"
"No, no, I'm not your father! You two are the fathers! Please, please, have mercy on me!"
"Hmm?" Chen Ruoan raised his head high and said contemptuously, "You even called me 'father' to beg for mercy? Son, you have no backbone at all."
"Look!" The fox gave a signal, and Zhang Huaiyi grabbed the leg of the crying county magistrate, dragged him like a pig to the courtyard, and dumped him next to a tall poplar tree used for shade in the corner of the courtyard.
"Is this how you've always acted, Senior Brother? Why does the prestigious Zhengyi Longhu Mountain sect seem so much like bandits and hooligans?"
Alright, it's time to carry out the execution.
Stab it!
A sudden burst of lightning struck the courtyard, terrifying the beautiful woman. Tears streaming down her face, she wailed and pleaded with the fox, "Don't kill me, I'm fine..."
Chen Ruoan nodded slightly: "That sounds tempting, but I'm a fox."
The woman huddled on the ground, sobbing, "You can't kill me. I'm just a weak woman. If I don't rely on the powerful, I can't find any way to survive."
Chen Ruoan did not enjoy indiscriminately killing foxes, so he opened his mouth and spat out the spirit silkworm.
The love potion used in the Miao villages of western Hunan is called "Cheng" (诚). It has the traditional function of binding hearts with love potions, but it can also be used as a means of torture and interrogation.
In the original storyline, the Wang family captured Feng Tianyang, one of the "Thirty-Six Thieves," and the Gu used by the Miao village's master Gu master during the interrogation was this Love Gu, Sincerity.
"You know in your heart whether you have done evil or not. If you lie, you will die."
Chen Ruoan inserted the love potion into the woman's soul, but for some reason, when planting the potion, a subtle sense of immorality and transgression arose in his heart.
It's a strange feeling.
Why do people derive pleasure from the desire for control?
The fox was slightly distracted, and the strange feeling quickly vanished without a trace.
When Zhang Huaiyi returned from the courtyard, the woman was already lying slumped on a wooden chair, her face flushed, drooling, and her limbs twitching uncontrollably, showing signs of a sudden serious illness.
What did you do to her?
"A wicked woman who is good at acting and deceiving people should be punished; she lied."
It's naive to have any expectations for the wolf after killing it.
After dealing with the shrew, Chen Ruoan scanned the hall, thinking of cleaning up any remaining traces.
Zhang Huaiyi, standing nearby, also pondered: "Wouldn't setting a fire be more decisive?"
Chapter 94 You Might Make Me Who I Am
"Wouldn't setting another fire be a bit unnecessary?"
Chen Ruoan inadvertently saw the ledger on the table, which recorded the specific income from the Peace Donation under the guise of warding off evil and disaster.
In addition to the planned zombie incident, there were also scams involving false reports of banditry and forced tax collection.
