In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun opened his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Why did the second-generation disciples of the two sects get mixed up so quickly? Forget it, the general trend of the law of heaven is irreversible, and small things can be changed. Such small things are no problem."

Because the two sects of interpretation and interception are now affiliated to the Taoist sect, and now Fengshenjie has risen, so Hongjun has a feeling.

After speaking, Hongjun closed his eyes again.

Outside Chaoge City, an old man in Taoist robes appeared at the gate of Songjiazhuang.

Looking at the gate, the old man's eyes were full of memories.

"It's been 40 years, and I don't know if my brother is still around."

This old man is Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya who went down the mountain.

After seeing Jiang Ziya, the concierge saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, and his face was full of respect.

"Is the old man an old fairy?"

Since a fortune teller came last time, everyone in the Song family said that the master met a god, and that no matter if he is a Taoist priest or a fortune teller, he must respect it.

Moreover, Jiang Shang at this time does have a taste of immortality.

"Old Immortal? Hahaha, I'm not!" Jiang Ziya laughed a few times, and then said, "Is your master Song Yiren?"

"Yes, yes!" The porter nodded repeatedly.

"Brother, please let me know that an old friend is visiting!" Jiang Ziya said happily.

After [-] years of cultivating Taoism, Jiang Ziya was of course happy when he suddenly heard that his elder brother Jieyi was still alive.

"Taoist priest, please wait a moment!" The concierge went in for a while, and Song Yiren quickly followed.

Looking at Jiang Ziya at first glance, Song Yiren was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Jiang Ziya called out anxiously: "Brother!"

Only then did Song Yiren come to his senses, with a look of surprise on his face: "My dear brother! My dear brother Ziya! That old fairy is right, you really are back. Come here, hurry up and set up a banquet to welcome my dear brother Ziya!" Wash the dust."

"Brother, don't bother, just arrange a simple vegetarian meal for me." Jiang Ziya said.

"Then vegetarian meal, hurry up and prepare!" Song Yiren welcomed Jiang Ziya in enthusiastically.

After sitting down, Jiang Ziya asked: "Brother, you said that old fairy is..."

Song Yiren smiled and said: "Not long ago, an old fairy came to my Songjiazhuang and said that you would come soon. The old fairy is really good at predicting things!"

Jiang Ziya was even more puzzled.

I returned to Chaoge because of the order of the master, so how did the old god know?

"The old god even told my fortune, saying that I can live another 11 years, I am content, I am content. Look, this is a jade pendant given to me by the old god. It is said to be able to ward off evil spirits. From now on, it will be a family heirloom of my Song family! "Song Yiren was also happy to see his brother come back, he vomited out of his brain, and took out the jade left by Chen Xuan.

Jiang Ziya took the jade pendant over and was startled, it turned out to be an acquired treasure.

Although Houtian Lingbao is not as good as Xiantian, it is still very rare.

This spiritual treasure is not very effective, but it can also ward off evil spirits and strengthen the body. It may be useless in the hands of immortal cultivators, but it is a treasure in the hands of ordinary people.

And it can't attract the coveted eyes of the immortals. It seems that the old immortal has considered this aspect.

"What, Ziya, you have practiced Taoism for so long, isn't this a treasure?" Song Yiren asked.

"Yes, and it has a good history, brother, take good care of it!" Jiang Ziya nodded.

Hearing what Jiang Ziya said, Song Yiren was even happier.

Then he said: "Zi Ya, you have practiced Taoism for so long, what have you learned!"

Jiang Ziya said truthfully: "Chop firewood, water pine, sweep the floor..."

This can't help but make Song Yiren a little disappointed: "Didn't you go to learn the way of immortality? Why did you do some rough work? But don't worry, if you come to my Songjiazhuang, I will definitely treat you well and take care of your retirement."

Jiang Ziya was moved and smiled again: "Brother, there is no need to send me to my death. I still have the order of the master. When I came to Chaoge, I heard that there was a demon that misled the country. Is there such a thing?"

Song Yiren sighed, and said, "I don't know if it's a monster or not, but a while ago a team of Royal Forest Army measured the cultivated land on my village."

"Measurement? Just measurement? I heard that many people in Chaoge died under torture after the king reused the demon look?" Jiang Ziya frowned.

"No one died. It was just that someone stopped him from measuring the land and was executed by the Imperial Forest Army. The Imperial Forest Army concealed the report and was also beheaded. No more than ten people died. My Songjiazhuang has a connection with a scholar-bureaucrat. I know Some things are just rumors. However, there is indeed some chaos in Chaoge now." Song Yiren said.

Chapter 218 Please Your Majesty Exterminate the Demons

Song Yiren is not a small landlord outside Chaoge City.

Don't underestimate him just because he looks simple and honest, it is impossible for a person with no ability to sit on so much property.

In fact, Song Yiren is very smart.

"According to elder brother, how many people in Chao Ge didn't die?" Jiang Ziya asked again.

On his way to Chaoge, he heard various rumors.

It is said that there was a monster in Chaoge City, which was valued by the King of Shang, and she abused lynching, and no less than five hundred people died at her hands.

And under those people's descriptions, the demon appearance is even more heinous.

After Jiang Ziya heard these rumors, he couldn't wait to rush to Chaoge to get rid of the demon immediately.

But Song Yiren said so.

"No, no, those news were released by those high-ranking officials in Chaoge, measuring the cultivated land, how can they evade taxes?" Song Yiren whispered.

Jiang Ziya immediately understood that what he had heard before were rumors.

But the three became tigers, the rumors are terrifying, and the Shang Dynasty is afraid that it will be chaotic.

Song Yiren suddenly thought of something again, slapped his head, and said to Jiang Ziya: "My dear brother, I remember that old fairy said that if you want to find a wise master, go to Chaoge City!"

"That old fairy really said that?" Jiang Ziya was shocked again.

He began to speculate on the origin of that old fairy, not only knowing that he was going down the mountain, but also explaining that the Lord was in Chaoge City, could it be that a senior brother from Chanjiao was guiding him?

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed possible.

"Ziya, don't think too much, eat first, settle down and then go to Chaoge." Song Yiren laughed.

Jiang Ziya didn't think much about it.

At this time, in the royal palace of Chaoge City, Di Xin sat at the head and gave him a look.

Fei Zhong came out with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the cultivated land has been measured now, and many of them have concealed the report. What's more, they have concealed nearly [-]% of the report! Among them... there are... some Many of them are ministers of the DPRK and China.”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers trembled violently.

At the same time, all eyes focused on Fei Zhong.

If eyes could kill, Fei Zhong would have already been beaten.

In this case, Fei Zhong also had troubles that he couldn't tell.

He didn't know how many times he blocked Di Xin.

Now, he has become the most hated treacherous official in the entire Shang Dynasty except for Su Xiaoli and the others.

Fei Zhong felt that the route he traveled the most was the king's routine.

And among these many sharp gazes, there is actually a rare look of envy mixed in.

The owner of that line of sight is Youhun.

You Hun watched Fei Zhong being entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the king, his envious chickens turned purple, and he wished to replace him.

It's a pity that the king despises him now and doesn't want him anymore...

Blame that damn fart!

Since the last trip to Nuwa Palace, not a single bean has been found in Youhun's mansion.

"Do you have anything to explain?" Di Xin said coldly.

"Who would have thought that among the officials of the Shang Dynasty, there would be a damn thief?"

The officials were speechless, and after a while, Shang Rong said: "Your Majesty, when the water is clear, there will be no fish... They were also confused for a while..."

As a veteran of the Shang Dynasty, would he not know some crux of the Shang Dynasty?

Tax evasion has always existed, and both he and the previous Shang kings turned a blind eye.

Because those scholar-bureaucrat families controlled a lot of power in the Shang Dynasty, if they were moved, the Shang Dynasty would also be hurt.

"A moment of confusion? A moment of confusion can hide [-]% of the arable land and not report it?" Di Xin was furious.

"My lord..." Shang Rong wanted to say something else.

But Di Xin said directly: "All those who conceal the area of ​​cultivated land will be taxed for ten years."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but they could still hold on to paying taxes for ten years.

But Di Xin's next words changed the expressions of the officials.

"All scholar-bureaucrats who have concealed more than [-]% of their arable land will be executed!"

Di Xin waved his sleeves, and all the officials knelt down for nearly half.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"I beg your Majesty to be merciful! We are willing to compensate, and we are willing to compensate taxes!"

There is a saying that the law does not blame the public, and the officials have this mentality.

Nearly half of the courtiers, if all were beheaded, the Shang Dynasty would be on the verge of paralysis.

A normal king would definitely not do this.

But, is Di Xin normal?

He is not normal!

If it weren't for this, Chen Xuan would still have looked down on him!

"Compensation? It's late! As an official, if you know the law and break the law, the crime will be aggravated. Anyone who comes, drag them out!" Di Xin yelled, and the Imperial Forest Army rushed in and arrested them.

Officials panicked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although these officials are wrong, but...but they can't move! Otherwise, the entire Shang Dynasty will be paralyzed." Shang Rong quickly kowtowed.

"With Prime Minister Su here, the situation in the Shang Dynasty can be completely controlled!" Di Xin waved his hand and shouted: "Take them away, find out how much they concealed, and make compensation before beheading!"

Those Yulin soldiers arrested people as soon as they entered the field, and took away all the crying ministers.

"You remaining people, don't take chances, I will find out all of them, and none of them will escape!" Di Xin said.

The ministers trembled violently, apart from fear, there was resentment towards Su Xiaoli and the others in their eyes.

Fei Zhong was terrified, and hoped that the ministers would not bear him a grudge.

After the morning dispersed, the remaining officials all gathered together.

"Master Shang, now the king is letting that goblin do what he wants, it's not a problem if it goes on like this! Today the king found a reason to plow the land and killed a man's head. I don't know what reason to find next time!" An old minister said tremblingly.

"You say, is the king crazy..."

If he had heard this before, Shang Rong would have scolded the person who said it like hell.

But after these days, Shang Rong felt that Di Xin had gone crazy.

The rest of the ministers all looked at Shang Rong, he is now the backbone of everyone.

"Continuing like this is not the way to go. I will try my best to persuade the king when I go to court tomorrow morning!" Shang Rong's eyes flashed with determination.

Complicated colors flashed in Bi Gan's eyes, and finally heaved a sigh.

The next day, with a bruised nose and swollen face, Fei Zhong stood up again tremblingly, and under the hostile eyes of everyone, he said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Dean Wang of the Qiji Academy has cultivated high-yielding crops and divided the cultivated land into different types." , It will be spring plowing soon, and these seeds will come in handy."

Yesterday, because his speech was published, those people surrounded him and beat him up.

If it wasn't for his cleverness, he might have been beaten to death...

Fei Zhong felt miserable...

Before Emperor Xin could speak, Shang Rong yelled: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. Farming is the top priority of the country. How can you mess up? If something goes wrong, the people will suffer!"

"Principal Wang's seeds are all miraculous things, which can turn the harvest over. Why did the Prime Minister stop this kind of thing?" Di Xin said displeased.

This old man is so annoying that he has to come out against him in everything.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it! These four people, I don't know where they came from, they just want to destroy my luck, so I can't keep it!" Shang Rong glared at Su Xiaoli and the others, and then looked at Di Xin: "My lord, I implore you to kill these four demons!"
