Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

"Brother He, I've said it a long time ago. If you don't stop, you will suffer the consequences."

While Qi Baiyi informed He Zhongheng that Luo Zheng had slipped and drowned, he also used the corpse of the corpse in the Yamen to be filled in after the autopsy.

"The yamen's statement is that Luo Zheng's family died due to accidentally eating puffer fish meat. In addition, the cause of Luo Zheng's death is also somewhat strange... I said, Brother He, are you going to continue to pretend that you can't see anything?"

"But, if I really do what you said, then what's the difference between me and them, and those people named Liu?!"

He Zhongheng's face was full of anger and he asked Qi Baiyi.

"In the beginning, I didn't become the head catcher for this kind of thing. I did it to uphold justice, to ensure the safety of one party, and to..."

"You can't do it."

Qi Baiyi blocked the rest of his words with one sentence.

"You know very well in your heart that if you don't get rid of the three gangs and nine societies, and if you don't correct the bad habits in the county government, you can't do anything... Brother He, to deal with the surname Liu, and the 'Tianjiu Master' Chang Fugui, Your approach will never work, because you are still a good person, and as a good person, you will always be restrained and will only be bullied by evil people. If you want to avenge Luo Zheng's family and uphold justice, you must learn-"

His cold voice sounded in this secret room.

"...Be a villain. When you are a villain who is more powerful than them all - Liu is ruthless, violent and vicious, you can do better than them; Chang Fugui is cunning and cunning, you can also do more than him. treacherous.

To deal with such villains, you must learn to be ruthless, because to deal with the real evil party, if you don't want good people to bleed, then let them bleed first, and if you don't want your relatives and friends to die for them, then let them die. On the spot...after all, you don't have much choice. "

Under the candlelight, He Zhongheng's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was in a battle between heaven and man. His face suddenly became painful and twisted, and then became as cruel as a man-hungry evil ghost crawling out of hell.

"boom!"

His eyes were glaring red, he was panting heavily, and he pressed the Pu Dao and the scabbard hard on the table.

"Do it! I do it!"

"good!"

The corners of Qi Baiyi's mouth raised into a smile. Seeing He Zhongheng's appearance, he knew that the young master's plan had been successful.

"He Zhongheng, He Zhongheng... Your choice today, whether it is to become a Buddha with a single thought or to become a demon with a single thought, will be destined to be rough. Whether it is worth it or not, you may have another opinion in the future, but everything you do will It will not be beyond the master's calculations and control, and will become a sharp knife in the master's hand, clearing obstacles for him and achieving his wishes."

While thinking this, he took out two boxes, one of which contained a human skin mask, and the other contained a night suit.

"Brother He, take out this mask later, use the identity of 'Big Thief Sun Long' to go to Chang Fugui's house with me, and kidnap 'Tian Jiuye'. This man is the leader of the gambling gang and also the leader of the gambling gang." The county magistrate's financial backer, if something happens to him, the whole Longhe County will be shaken."

"As expected, it was you who tried to kidnap Magistrate Ge last time," He Zhongheng came to his senses.

"Are you asking me to go against the government?!"

"Make no mistake, with the means we had at the time, it would not be difficult to kill Ge on the spot. But if a magistrate is killed, the court will definitely be furious and send a large number of manpower to investigate the matter thoroughly. What does this do to us? good."

Qi Baiyi smiled.

"This is just a trap! Nothing will happen to Ge Zhixian County. This strategy was used to drive a wedge between Mr. Ge and Capt. Liu, so as to create a gap between the two."

"But this time, you have decided to take action against Chang Fugui."

He Zhongheng's eyes became extremely sharp.

"I didn't say I wanted to kill him. It's not a pity for this man to die, but it doesn't have to be now. Besides, I know Brother He, you want to arrest him more, and put him in prison after trial under the law... I Nature will give you this opportunity!"

Qi Baiyi glanced at him.

"I want to use Chang Fugui, the boss of the gambling gang, to set up a game and completely defeat Liu, the core figure who controls the power of the county government, the underworld, and the white gang. When Liu falls, Brother He can take advantage of the situation and take his place. If you can become the largest agent of these three parties, we will have the ability to leverage everything in Longhe County. We are the officials and we are the bandits. When the time comes, if I want to practice your justice, there will be no more Who can stop you."

"How exactly do we do this?"

He Zhongheng still didn't understand.

"The reason is also very simple. Longhe County has been at peace for a long time. There has been no big storm for so many years. Even the Hengyun Thirteen Villages in Mingfeng Mountain have behaved themselves without any major troubles... Now, we have to sort things out. If the commotion becomes so big that even Liu can't stop the momentum, then for the county government, we need another person with powerful skills who can make the final decision, and that person is you."

At this time, Qi Baiyi did not expect that he could speak such a smooth sentence. He himself was not a person who was good at strategy. He Ping, who taught him behind the scenes, carefully explained the key points of his plan to him.

"The top officials of the three gangs and nine guilds were robbed in the name of Black Flag Village in Qingjian Mountain. As long as the county government's money is removed, Gezhi County will definitely send people to attack Black Flag Village, and Black Flag Village is now under our control. Using this situation, I will look for an opportunity to kill the man named Liu, and I will conveniently support He Zhongheng as the top catcher."

He Ping analyzed the situation with cold eyes.

"The man surnamed Ge is a corrupt official. He doesn't value his subordinates that much. Anyway, his term is about to expire, so he just needs to make money.

He will value whoever is useful to him. Once the man named Liu dies, He Zhongheng captures Black Flag Village and rescues the bosses of the Three Gangs and Nine Clubs, that is a great achievement, and he will be reused by Ge Zhi County. "

"During the period we created, the three gangs and nine gangs will also have riots due to internal problems. At that time, we can secretly send people to break in and slowly find opportunities to control these local gangs."

"Next, we will make another move and pull out all the Thirteen Villages of Hengyun and replace them with our people. By then, Mingfeng Mountain will be ours. Who is the balance in the county government? The three gangs and nine will have our informants. Officials It’s us, the bandits are also us, so Longhe County is naturally ours!”

Recalling what He Ping said that day, Qi Baiyi repeated it in front of He Zhongheng according to his own understanding.

"Brother He, if you want to achieve great things, you have to be informal. If you want to break the evil situation in Longhe County, you have to use unexpected tricks. Can you understand this?"

"I'll listen to you."

He Zhongheng's eyes flashed and he nodded.

"To break the situation, we can only use extraordinary methods. The people who died should also be given justice."

He knew that this might be a bitter pill, but he had to swallow it for the sake of the two dead brothers.

…

Chaos was approaching in Longhe County. He Ping on the other side had completed all preparations. He had no intention of bringing anyone else with him, so he ordered his steward He Fusheng to set off immediately.

He is accomplished in magic and can travel freely in a paper sedan chair, traveling through the "Nether Realm" space. He can travel hundreds of miles day and night with ease.

He Ping first went back to the customs, took out the coffin, and then led the paper puppets to carry the paper sedan. He took the paper sedan alone and flew away in the direction of Xihuang Road.

Chixinzi was extremely vigilant and only gave him the name "Niutou Ridge of the Western Wilderness Road" but did not tell him the specific route. He Ping did have a map of the Western Wilderness Territory purchased from a businessman from other places, but he did not have this location.

"This innocent man is very scheming. He only gave me his address and name, and asked me to use the 'Mud Telephone Puppet' to find the marks he left along the way. He asked me to follow the marks and go all the way until I found Niutou Ridge."

In the paper sedan, he spread out a map in his hand. Several red dots were dotted on the map with a cinnabar pen. Each red dot mark was a mark left by Chi Xinzi along the way. He searched along the way according to this mark. Entering the Xihuang Road.

He shuttles between the Yin and Yang realms in a paper sedan, day and night, and the speed is fast. However, if he stays for a long time, he will get tired easily. Furthermore, driving the paper sedan also consumes the soul, so he often drives for half a day and has to stop to rest. .
