The scholar surnamed Wang was being flattered by everyone, when suddenly there was a strange voice from beside him, he was so angry that he almost spit out his wine, and said with a blushing face, "Worship God, worship God, be careful to worship yourself."

"You haven't heard of it. A while ago, Mr. Wang was not talented. He was studying in Chang'an. He gained a lot of knowledge. He also knows some secrets. It is forbidden to worship gods privately and collect incense from the people..."

"Brother Wang, be careful, you drank too much."

Before Wang Shusheng could finish his words, he was quickly covered by the scholar at the same table, and persuaded him anxiously.

He woke up suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"I drank too much alcohol, what I said just now, Wang doesn't remember at all, let's go, stop drinking, go to Cuifang Garden to sober up."

A table of people looked ugly, they hurriedly left the restaurant, turned around and got into the carriage to leave.

In public, speaking ill of Chen Inspector Chen and accusing him of misbehavior is not nonsense.

If one is not good, it will lose its head.

Watching a table of scholars leave in a hurry.

The voice is still lingering in everyone's ears.

Immediately there were two men in green clothes, discussing in a low voice: "Is it really forbidden? But, I see that many people are burning incense to worship, not to mention, it can really protect the house and keep the family safe, and stop ghosts from harming people."

"Who knows? But, let me tell you, you must not spread the word. According to reliable sources, the Chen Zhuangyuan who came this time is actually a big demon in disguise, seizing wives, suppressing a state, and collecting incense."

"Think about it, a scholar from a poor family, how could he have such a great ability to suppress a whole state of demons with a single portrait?

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that his strength is extremely high, and he is likely to reach the level of a human immortal, or in other words, a demon fairy..."

"Don't talk nonsense... If this is the case, the governor may be able to escape from Jiangzhou with his powerful skills in the future. However, wouldn't the people worshiping in Manzhou be regarded as believers of evil gods and beheaded for public display?"

"It's really possible, otherwise, why would he vigorously promote portraits intentionally or unintentionally, making the people obsessed with worshiping gods?

The demon slayer said long ago that anyone who wantonly obtains incense has bad intentions, and this must be guarded against. "

"That's true. Pass the news back first. You must not learn to worship the gods. Otherwise, disaster will come from the sky, and it will be too late to regret."

The two looked at each other, understood, and took a few mouthfuls of food in silence, not in the mood to continue sitting down, and hastily checked out and left.

Even the students in the school have already spread the news about worshiping the incense, and they all know that it is wrong. People in the world like them can actually see that the direction of the wind has changed.

Half reclining and half sitting at the door, leaning against the pillar, an old beggar raised his cloudy eyes, his ears trembled, looked deeply at the two men in green clothes, tremblingly got up, and left slowly.

In a secret room on the mezzanine of Gaosheng Restaurant, an old man with a gray beard let go of the copper pipe attached to his ear, his face was full of horror.

He murmured: "Could it be that this Governor Chen is really a big demon pretending to be collecting incense.

I have heard long ago that when some big demons first appeared, the world couldn't tell the difference between good and evil...

In some large prefectures, it is not discovered that something is wrong until the people are dying, and then they will be encircled and suppressed by the imperial army, and they will die every time. "

……

Sima Mansion.

Wei Wuji shook his folding fan, as if he didn't feel at all that there was something wrong with the cool breeze blowing out in this cold weather.

At his current level of cultivation, the weather doesn't make any difference to him.

Shaking a folding fan in my hand is actually just a habit.

He picked up a cup of fragrant tea just brewed by the concubine Hanjiao Meimei, and took a sip in satisfaction, thinking that the tea from Jiangnan was indeed light and bitter, and tasted it, it had a special flavor.

"Shang Bo, Mr. Zhou has been traveling around for the past few days. Has things improved?"

Without looking up, he already knew that there was a middle-aged man who was about to enter the door and asked.

"Sir, you really have a clever plan, and the storm has risen."

The middle-aged man Shang Bo chuckled, and sat down without seeing anything else, and picked up the tea on the table: "It's just that the reaction of the Governor's Mansion seems a little slow. According to my observation, there is not much movement."

Chapter 473 Conspiracy and tricks, not on the stage

"In the land of three counties, there are 70 people living there. Now there are 38 restaurants spreading news at the same time. As long as the governor's mansion is not a decoration, the rumors will always be heard. This is not important."

Wei Wuji threw down his fan, stretched out his arms to embrace the charming concubine in green clothes, he didn't care: "It doesn't matter if you react or not, since ancient times, it has been said that the mouth of the people is better than the mouth of the river, people's hearts are changeable and hard to control, Even if he hears the news, he can't cut off the heads of all those disobedient people, I hope he will do so."

As the saying goes, spread rumors with one mouth, avoid rumors and run away.

Now the three hundred black-clothed guards under his command have all changed their makeup and sent them out, or pretending to be gaffes, or pretending to argue, spreading some true and false news all over the city.

Those who should have received the news naturally received it.

"The common people are blindly following. Even if it is false at the beginning, if there are more people talking about it, it will naturally become true. It is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not. Is this the truth?"

Wei Wuji sat up slightly, his eyes flashed, "Especially the big families in the cities are unwilling to take the slightest risk. If it was half a year ago when demons and ghosts were chaotic, using this plan would not be of much use. .If someone can get rid of demons and save their lives, not to mention asking them to worship gods, even if they ask them to worship ghosts, they are willing to do it."

"That's right, times have changed, and now, although there are still a few sporadic ghosts appearing everywhere, they are just hiding and not daring to harm people wantonly. The people of Jiangzhou are already in a state of great order.

When the scars are healed and the pain is forgotten, it is inappropriate for them to risk being liquidated afterwards and come to worship God again. "

Shang Bo clapped his hands and laughed.

"Young master's plan is so clever, it calculated people's hearts and pushed the boat along the way, without doing anything by yourself, it directly ruined that person's half-year business.

Although that man was born in a general family, he doesn't seem to be very talented and learned, even if he is given the title of number one scholar, he still has an empty stomach. "

Shang Bo shook his teacup, watched the yellow-green soup rippling in the cup, smiled slightly, frowned and said: "However, no matter how slow this young man's reaction is, he will find something wrong sooner or later. , it is very likely that the young master will be suspicious, and I don't know how to deal with it then?"

"No, no, don't you have to deal with it?"

Wei Wuji is holding the pearl of wisdom.

"Since I left Chang'an, my son has been making a big splash and not hiding his identity, this is the best amulet.

It's fine if he doesn't make a move, but if he moves even a single hair on me, disaster will be upon him, and his wolfish ambition can no longer be concealed.At that time, the imperial army will be dispatched, and Jiangzhou will be able to leave in a day. "

Everyone said that the Great Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land, and all nations came to court, and the reputation spread far and wide. This was not just because of the large number of people, the prosperity and prosperity.

The biggest reason is because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are powerful, able to intimidate monsters and deter foreign nations.

Not to mention the county soldiers and city guards everywhere.

Datang 360 State, a mere state, if something goes wrong, and if evidence of rebellion is caught, it will naturally be destroyed with a snap of the finger.

"Besides, apart from his identity as a big monster, everything else is true. As long as the inspector's eyes are not blind, he will be able to see the truth clearly. This young master just lifted the lid."

"Understood, so the young master has been forcing him to do something?"

Shang Bo's eyes lit up.

"Yes, although the imperial court strictly prohibits worshiping gods with incense, the world is a big place, and everyone has selfish intentions. Some people either want to leave a name in history, or want to live forever and preserve their spirit.

Or, some people practice for themselves, to protect themselves and save their lives...

The matter of winning people's hearts and taking incense by force is not unique to Jiangzhou. If it is true, it is naturally everywhere.

Based on this news alone, it is still somewhat difficult to bring down a young prince. After all, he is not without Austrian aid in the court.

However, if he dug his foundation and directly destroyed all the schemes, it would be difficult for him not to do it. "

"The most ridiculous thing is that as long as he makes a move, he will find out how powerful this young master is."

"As long as he has the evidence, take it directly, report it to Chang'an, and punish him for several crimes, even if he has a backer, he will be dismissed from office. The best ending is to be imprisoned for a lifetime, and the land of Jiangzhou will be in my hands."

When Wei Wuji said this, he gently stroked the golden sword on the table, and with his excitement, the sword also made a sound like a dragon's chant.

The light and shadow of the sword flickered, and as the breeze blew by, there was a dragon shadow floating up and down, swimming back and forth in the light of the sword.

This is not an illusion, but a real golden dragon sealed in the sword, which is a fairy sword.

With this sword in his hand, even if he is a fifth-order peak, an expert who has reached the top of this world, he has the confidence to fight hard.

Therefore, even if a certain lord governor is arrogant, it is just sending meat to the door, so there is nothing to worry about.

"What if he can really bear it and pretend nothing happened and never do anything?"

Shang Bo asked again.

"That's even simpler. People's hearts are changeable. Soon, the common people will completely forget the kindness that the No.

The only thing they remember is whether they are hungry today, and will they have to work hard tomorrow?Not surprisingly, within ten days, Jiangzhou will surely usher in great changes, and more than [-]% of the people will definitely make very strange choices when their lives and wealth are at stake.

"They will burn the portrait, spit out the fragrance, and completely crucify the name of the governor and the big monster."

"Why is that so?" Shang Bo asked again, puzzled.

He's actually a pretty good stalker.

Wei Wuji smiled lightly, as if being asked the most itchy place, he was very eager to talk.

"The common people are ignorant, people's hearts are fickle, and it is their nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. No matter how great a kindness is, can it compare with the lives of your own family?

If he didn't really crucify this lord governor on the pillar of shame and draw a clear line with him, how could he get rid of his previous suspicion of burning incense and offering sacrifices? "

"Therefore, Lord Inspector will lose the hearts of the people, his faith will be backlashed, and his power will be greatly reduced. As a result, his prestige will be lost, and he will not be able to order the Inspector's mansion."

"Exactly, in this way, the governor of Jiangzhou exists in name but is dead in name, and existence is equal to non-existence."

Wei Wuji laughed out loud.

A good fighter has no great achievements...

He just moved his mouth in the mansion, randomly dispatched some people, and when he started, the people developed into a raging wave, which was about to overwhelm the governor.

……

"Conspiracies and tricks, you can't get on the stage."

Yang Lin sat in the pavilion, basking in the sun.

Although his physique is too strong now, he basically can't feel the influence of temperature changes, but he still likes to bask in the sun in winter and chat with his family as a habit.

The days of practice are neither boring nor comfortable, they are just routine, a kind of life that has been lived for a long time, and there must be some fun to pass the time.

Talking to his wife and maid about his family's grievances will make Yang Lin feel that he is still a mortal and alive.

It's not that if you don't know how to cultivate immortals, you will become a desolate and lonely mountain man who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, swallows the wind and drinks the dew.

Yin Wenjiao's complexion was light, she silently cooked the tea, the indelible sadness was gone from the corners of her brows and eyes.

Life is always going on, and there is nothing wrong with it now.

If you have a little hope in life, you have to make yourself happy.

While making tea, she was thinking about when she would beg the master to take her to the outside of Jinshan Temple.

Even if you can't enter the temple, the little guy will always come out.

Long time no see, she misses Xiaobao.

"Master, they are about to knock on the door, should we just watch like this? We can only watch."

The rumors in and out of the city spread to all the servants in the governor's mansion who were shopping for vegetables and sweeping the floor.

How could Yin Wenjiao not know.

Yang Lin smiled, without even raising his eyelids, "How could it be possible to just watch, Wei Wuji is good at everything, but he thinks too much of himself, his strategy, and got a very important question wrong."

……

Chapter 474

"Wei Wuji's plan is of course very good, if it is an ordinary state governor, there is really no way.

Not to mention the governor of the state, even the prime minister of the imperial court would find it difficult to deal with this situation.

If one is not good, it will commit a big taboo, commit the crime of treason, and attract court soldiers and horses. "

"Even if I can bear it, if I endure it, I will become a mud bodhisattva who doesn't care about things, and has no prestige.

Eating and waiting to die for a day, and being stabbed again in 18 years, I can't do anything, unless, unless I am willing to give up this good foundation..."

Yang Lin chuckled lightly, and there was some sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Yes, you are amazing.

Deliberately to pick the fruit.

Even the fairy sword was brought.

But so what?

From the start, you picked the wrong target.
