Astral Apostle Chapter 230: Rules and wavering
The latest website: Huyang, Yueshan Lake, Longwangzhai.
Some time has passed since the triumphant return of the army, and all trivial matters have been settled properly. Now that the Huyang family dominates, it is finally time for the official seating arrangement.
But I saw warships all over the lake, lined up in an array, facing the direction of the stockade, and a large flag fluttered and danced in the wind.
Boom boom——
The sound of drums and drums was like thunder, and a sea of people quickly gathered by the river beach, surrounding a wooden platform on the bank.
On the high platform, there are incense burners and candles, as well as dozens of bowls of wine.
When the commotion of the crowd gradually calmed down, Zhou Jing and a group of leaders stepped up the steps, went up to the high platform, and stood still in front of the incense table.
Zhou Jing looked around and saw all the faces in his eyes. Then he used his inner strength and spoke loudly. The sound spread far away like a trumpet:
"We gather together in Huyang, and we don't want to die with the grass and trees. We just want to make a career. Today, we brothers and sisters swear to the heavenly alliance that from now on, we should work together, share weal and woe, and live and die together. Let me ask you... this world is gloomy, full of corrupt officials, landlords and gentry, I will do justice for the heavens, and the heavens will learn from it!"
"I would like to lead the horse and hold the whip for the village master!"
The crowd responded loudly, picked up incense sticks, bowed before their foreheads, then burned yellow paper, swore blood as an alliance, drank strong wine, threw bowls and shouted.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jing began to read aloud the seats and positions of everyone, and discussed the rewards for meritorious deeds.
Guo Haishen is a well-deserved second master, Duan Yunfeng as the third master, Du Ying as the fourth master, Hong Dingxian as the fifth master, Fang Zhen as the sixth master and so on.
Counting it all together, there are altogether ninety-six chiefs in the village, most of them came to work later, and some of them are quite useful.
After arranging the seats, Zhou Jing looked around everyone with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"All the brothers know my deeds. I used to travel between villages and counties, seeking evil and evil, and doing justice for the heavens. Now I have a huge foundation, entrenched in Huyang, and I should protect the village.
After today, set up a grievance hall. If the poor in Huyang have grievances, they can come and tell them. All sons and daughters should not be neglected. I will make decisions for them if they are proved to be correct... No matter whether the target is rich or powerful, All have revenge for injustice, and revenge for revenge!
At the same time, set up another martial arts lecture hall, and spread martial arts to the people every day, no matter how poor or poor, as long as they want to learn martial arts as the foundation of their lives, they will not refuse. "
"The village master is righteous!"
When the voice fell, many children shouted.
Zhou Jing looked at the excited crowd and nodded secretly.
Now it is necessary to accumulate food widely and build high walls, and it is not time to rise up, so he did not shout slogans to overthrow the imperial court, nor did he immediately establish a new law independent of the imperial court.
It is just beating side drums in ways such as avenging grievances for the people, in order to have a lasting impact on the people.
'It didn't directly touch the bottom line of the imperial court, and it was still a banditry. They would calculate the cost of suppressing bandits, and the local officers and soldiers have been maimed by me, so they are not a threat. I can develop seriously in Huyang for a few years...'
Zhou Jing thought to himself.
The ceremony was completed quickly, and under the witness of many minions, the group formally arranged the seats and set the rules, and then held a banquet in the stockade for three days in a row, until they got drunk.
…
The news spread everywhere, not only in the Huyang area, but soon everyone knew the rules of Longwangzhai to defend the people and pass on the martial arts to the people, which caused a lot of discussion.
Some people praised this as a benevolent act of being the master of the people and doing justice for the sky, while some scolded this as an evil deed of going its own way and lawlessness.
The people in the Huyang area were rejoicing, but the gentry and dignitaries here were beeping dogs, shouting crimes, and being shocked and frightened.
This Chen Feng picked up his mother's footsteps again!
Can't you be your king of the mountain?
We're not bothering you, we can give you food and money, why do you have to make trouble with us? !
According to this **** rule, wouldn't it mean that just any beggar whose life is like nothing is justified, and someone will come to take their life? What kind of reasoning is this!
Huyang can't wait anymore!
For a moment, the landlords and gentry were filled with panic. They were all frightened, and sold their properties one after another, looking for another way out, and fled to other lands.
In the past, when Chen Feng's small gang committed crimes, they at most went out to avoid the limelight, but now that Chen Feng wants to occupy Huyang for a long time, this land has become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in their eyes, and they have no plan to come back at all.
They did not expect the government to suppress the bandits at all. The local officers and soldiers in Huyang were all disabled, and Chen Feng could not be cured at all.
On the other side, the government offices of the prefectures in Huyang were also very angry, but there was nothing they could do about Chen Feng.
The imperial court did not send a large army to suppress the bandits, and the state officials were incapable and furious, but they were always in fear. Every night when they slept with their concubines, they were afraid that someone would sneak in and cut off their heads, making the bed fun.
And some well-connected Huyang officials have secretly operated, trying to get transferred to other regions as officials.
With such a God of Plague by his side, staying here would be a desperate attempt!
…
The capital city, the imperial palace, and the Ziji Hall.
The emperor sits on the dragon chair, and the ministers follow the court meeting.
"...The Chen Feng rebellion in Huyang is becoming more and more rampant. Now there are tens of thousands of people, and one family dominates. It is difficult for the court to suppress the bandits. If they are not curbed, it will become a serious disaster!"
A minister opened his mouth to play.
The emperor's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "Last year, I traveled to Ningtian, and the prince supervised the country. Officials in Huyang have already reported the banditry, and I let the prince take full power to deal with it. Has it deteriorated to this point?"
Because Duan Yunfeng was assassinated in Ning Tian Mansion last year, the emperor has no travel plans this year and has been staying in the capital.
Prince Wang Jing heard the words, hurried forward, bowed and confessed: "I know my mistake."
The privy envoy Pang Hong was outstanding, and said: "At that time, Prime Minister Qin offered a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, recruiting Huyang bandits to deal with Chen Feng, but now it seems that it is useless. I don't know if Prime Minister Qin has a good plan now?"
Qin Song didn't change his face, bowed and said: "My lord, the Huyang bandits who recruited Anlai are so useless, it's true that the veteran didn't notice."
The emperor shook his head, without blame, and asked:
"This Chen Fengmu has no imperial court, it's really hateful, I don't know what plan the lovers have to destroy this person?"
Pang Hong immediately opened his mouth and said solemnly: "This Chen Feng is good at opening the court, tying the hearts of the people, and showing signs of conspiracy. In my opinion, I should send an army to destroy it!"
"Treason?" The emperor frowned.
Although he doesn't want to spend money on military expenses, if he is a traitor who conspires against him, he will be wiped out even if he spends all his money.
After all, banditry and rebels are two concepts, and the court cannot sit idly by and watch the latter recklessly rebel.
At this time, a minister stepped forward and spoke:
"Pang Shumi's words were exaggerated. Although Chen Feng was arrogant, lawless, and committed rebellion, he didn't rise up, nor did he claim to conspire to rebel. He was just a group of bandits, and what he did was the mob. Okay, don't need to go to war."
When Qin Song saw this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the veteran, dispatching a large army is a waste of money and half the result. As long as this Chen Feng does not intensify his aggressive invasion of the state capital, it is better to wait for the king of heaven to pacify Yanbei, Bandits in eastern Thailand are in trouble, and if they are sent to deal with Chen Feng, no matter how bad they are, both sides will suffer, and it will not be too late for the imperial court to send troops."
Hearing the words, the emperor pondered for a while, then nodded:
"What Qin Aiqing said is not unreasonable, so let's do it accordingly."
As long as he is not a traitor, his principle is to spend as little as possible.
Besides, there have always been water bandits in Huyang, but now the leader has changed, it seems that there is no difference.
Seeing that his calculations had failed again, Pang Hong secretly gritted his teeth and sulked.
With a few words, everyone quickly dealt with this issue and talked about other things.
At this time, there was a rumor official who said:
"I want to impeach the real person Sitianjian Shenxiao Fengling! This person used the method of alchemy to deceive Shengting. Although he was on duty at Sitianjian, he was idle all day long. Disciple, is a demon with evil intentions, I hope the Holy One will see clearly!"
As soon as the words fell, many courtiers present showed disgust, and felt that their ears could hear cocoons.
Since the emperor brought back the real Yufeng, these rumor officials have been following him for more than half a year, impeaching him every day.
This seems to be a trend, and if you don't scold Lingfengzi for confusing the public, it won't show that they are Qingliu.
"Ai Qing's words are wrong. The real person's method of alchemy is genuine and beneficial to the body. I take it often, and my spirit is much stronger than before..."
The emperor was also tired of hearing it, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to appease him once, and called back for impeachment.
Although the real Yufeng is always targeted, the emperor has obviously felt his body has become better after taking the other party's elixir in the past few months, and he can even regain his glory after a long absence. Concubine Ye Yushu re-experienced the joy of the joy of fish and water.
This made him trust Yufeng Zhenren even more... he gained real benefits, and he would not be swayed by other people's impeachment at all.
…
Yanbei, a certain plain.
The army of Tianwangzhai is stationed here, and the tents are so long that there is almost no end in sight.
Huyang is fighting lively, and Yanbei and Taidong are also fighting. Since being recruited, Lu Longchuan and other leaders have led the army to suppress bandits and deal with local bandits from all walks of life.
It was noon at this time, and cooking was buried in the camp. Lu Longchuan and other leaders were sitting by the tent, chatting while eating, and unknowingly talked about the situation in Huyang.
"I didn't expect that Chen Feng could solve the three dragons so easily, and become the lord of Huyang, the leader of the southern green forest."
"Yeah, it's not easy to compare his Dragon King Village with our Heavenly King Village on the road now."
The leaders sighed.
It took them many years to lay down such a foundation as Tianwangzhai. Unexpectedly, it took only one year for Chen Feng to become a giant in the green forest, almost on an equal footing with them.
Every time they think about the rapid rise of the other party, everyone feels like being slapped on the beach by the waves, and secretly sighs that they are getting old.
A leader sighed: "Well, after we recruited, we have mixed reputations in the green forest and are no longer the leader. The position of the overlord of the green forest may fall to the Dragon King Village in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Longchuan comforted him:
"Brothers, don't be discouraged~IndoMTL.com~We have embarked on the right path and will serve our country in the future. The reputation of the green forest is useless to us. If the eastern bandits are in trouble, everyone will be able to reward them for their merits."
Everyone nodded with different expressions.
Xiang Tianjie hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent.
The business of recruiting security is to become a knife in the hands of the court, and to sacrifice one's life in exchange for official fame and fortune.
The imperial court recruited them to calm the banditry in the world. Even if Yanbei and Taidong were settled, they might be sent to conquer Huyang.
Thinking of Chen Feng's appalling deeds, Xiang Tianjie couldn't help feeling worried.
As an enemy of such a ruthless character, even if he wins, what price will he have to pay, how many brothers will be killed or injured?
For a while, Xiang Tianjie was gradually shaken by the decision of the village owner to be recruited.
