Shennong Daojun

The sky is dark, the river seems to have turned black, and the waves are turbulent. The marching hall rises and falls with the building boats on the river. The words "Inspection Division" on the plaque of the side hall are printed upside down on the river. The commanders on the left and right of the hall hold orders with both hands, and the left is the chopper. , right for arrest.

A word-catching order was inserted behind Zhao Xing's back, causing the arrow to emit a black-gold light and lock all the vitality.

No light can penetrate this gloomy hall. Candlelights are swaying on both sides. There is a huge body sitting on the main seat, with an aura as powerful as prison. Half of his body is shrouded in shadow, and only half of his face is exposed, but this half of his face It turned out to be like withered grass. The eyes were opened, revealing pure black eyeballs, and a few grasses grew out of the eyelashes.

"Are you the Lanjiang Transportation Department, the second-level transportation envoy Zhao Xing?"

"It's the lower official. I wonder why your Excellency wants to take me?"

"As the Lanjiang transshipment envoy, you pocketed 749 thousand stones of fifth-level supplies. You also forcibly scrapped three 70% new building ships and sold them to Leiyang Chamber of Commerce Yi Zhijie at a low price. You received kickbacks from them. Can you plead guilty?”

"The official pleads guilty and is willing to pay the stolen money and fines..."

"Since you have confessed, you will be executed immediately!"

"What?! I am a fifth-rank official, how can I be executed without asking? Master Liu's actions violate the seventh law of Article 362 of the Great Zhou Law..."

"Pfft~"

Before Zhao Xing could defend himself, he saw his body kneeling on the ground with no head.

It's really unlucky that he managed to rise up with the help of the union brothers, but was chopped down by this guy again... The last thought flashed through Zhao Xing's mind, and his eyesight went dark.

"Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing, wake up! It's time to go!"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and then Zhao Xing felt that his face was wet.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the bobcat licking his cheek.

Zhao Xing sat up from the bed, his eyes a little blank.

The dream lasts for thousands of years, what year is it today?

"You haven't slept enough? You went to bed at 9 o'clock the day before yesterday and have been asleep for twenty-seven hours now. Are you okay?" Long Xiao came to the bed curiously when he saw Zhao Xing waking up.

"It's okay." Zhao Xing's eyes instantly became clear. Yes, I am Zhao Xing of the Shenwei Army now. I am about to leave Shiyang Cave Heaven and go to Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion south of the Canglan River to complete the military affairs arranged by the military community.

"I heard that you only slept for an hour every day during training, and you have never stopped for a year. Now it seems to be true." Chen Shijie stared at Zhao Xing and said, "You were too tired, and now you relaxed and fell asleep for two hours." Seventeen hours, how's it going? Did you sleep well?"

"I feel comfortable." Zhao Xing nodded, stretched out his hand, and the clouds moved with his palm, automatically forming a cloud basin.

Wow~ The water flowed out, the towel was blown by the wind, and then he started to wash up in front of Chen Shijie and Long Xiao.

When Chen Shijie saw this scene, he couldn't help but a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

For an expert to look at the door, from the details of cloud control, it is enough to tell that Zhao Xing's magic has truly entered the house.

"Meow~" The bobcat came over to drink the water from the basin.

"Aotian, why are you drinking this?" Long Xiao quickly pulled Shanmao away, "It's not clean."

"Meow!"

Shanmao broke away from Long Xiao's hand and moved closer.

No, I want to drink!

Zhao Xing smiled and pushed the bobcat's head away, then divided another cloud and filled it with water, signaling it to drink from it.

The lynx immediately turned its head obediently.

Long Xiao was a little worried.

After raising it for a year, it’s not as good as your cheap master’s words, hey.

After washing up, Zhao Xing, Long Xiao, and Lao Chen went to the side hall to eat.

"Is there anyone you want to see?" Chen Shijie asked.

"No more." Zhao Xing shook his head. The day before yesterday, he went to Wanfa Palace and met the last person.

Unexpectedly, when I was sleeping, I actually dreamed of many scenes from my previous life, including the scene where Liu Tianning beheaded him. It seemed that I would have to visit this Wanfa Palace less often in the future.

"Since it's gone, let's set off after eating." Chen Shijie said, "There's no need to move too much in the Eighteen Sophora Trees Garden. You'll be back later anyway."

"Okay." Zhao Xing really had nothing to deal with.

After eating and going out, there was a swordfish flying boat parked on the lawn.

However, the three people and the cat were not in a hurry to get on the boat, but were waiting for something.

"Da da da~"

Gao Ming, riding a bamboo horse, rushed from the horizon and landed outside the courtyard gate.

"We're here." Zhao Xing stepped forward to greet him. "Brother Gao Ming."

"Zhao Xing." Gao Ming got off his horse and handed over a box, "This is the mission item awarded to you by the Yangcheng Military Department."

"Thank you, Brother Gao, for sending me this." Zhao Xing took it. It was just a small box, which contained new secret seals, ground mirrors and relevant certificates for performing military affairs.

"I wish you a bright future and a bright future." Gao Ming said with cupped hands.

"Thank you very much, and I also wish Brother Gao a prosperous business." Zhao Xing returned the gift.

"Hahaha, let's go." Gao Ming turned over and rode on the bamboo horse, clattering away.

Datong Mansion, Wanfeng Mountains.

The calm, mirror-like surface of the lake suddenly rippled in circles, and the texture became denser and denser, until at a certain moment, the central area suddenly arched.

"Wow~"

A firing pin penetrated from the crest of the water wave, and the sharp bow and scale-covered hull emerged.

"Whoosh~"

Like a swordfish jumping out of the water, the airship quickly flew up and climbed up to an altitude of 100 meters, and the hull returned to a horizontal position.

A military flag swayed with ten suns embroidered on it.

"Zhao Xing, after leaving Shiyang Cave, you should be able to see the first mission issued by the military community. If the location does not pass through Xi'er County, I will not go with you." Chen Shijie said.

He still has to return to Xi'er County, where the Shenwei Army is currently mainly gathered.

There are military towns stationed along the Canglan River, and the bridgehead of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion is like a needle thrust through the Canglan River. However, the Zhou Dynasty has a very long border south of Pinghai Prefecture, and the war has not officially started yet. Therefore, except for the permanent combat readiness troops stationed in Yingyuan Mansion in Jiutian, most of the troops stationed in Yiying are waiting for orders north of the Canglan River.

Zhao Xing opened the box sent by Gao Ming and took out the new ground mirror to check. Sure enough, the first ring mission had been posted on it.

However, after seeing the first ring mission, Zhao Xing's expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shijie asked.

"The first ring mission is located in Xi'er County."

"Isn't that good? Lao Chen can go back with us." Long Xiao said nonchalantly. He didn't react until he found that Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie's expressions were not right. "Your first mission won't be related to the Divine Power Army, right?"

Zhao Xing said nothing.

Chen Shijie's face became increasingly ugly: "Is it so serious?"

Is it so serious that both of them have to avoid suspicion? Can't they know the content of the mission?

Zhao Xing nodded slightly.

Long Xiao also opened his mouth: "You, your first mission won't be an inspection mission, right?"

"Stop asking." Chen Shijie said in a deep voice, "Hand over your earth mirror."

"Oh, okay." Long Xiao took out his mirror from his arms.

Then Chen Jijie took out his piece and handed it to Zhao Xing.

The attitude is very obvious, meaning we support you and do whatever you want.

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Just keep it, I believe you."

"It's not a matter of belief or not." Chen Shijie said firmly, "The evaluation in the military world starts from the moment you leave the cave. There are gods three feet above your head. Every move you make will be seen and accepted. Here we go. The Xi'er County Inspectorate will return it to us."

"Okay." Zhao Xing put away Chen Shijie and Long Xiao's mirrors.

The swordfish flying boat flew through the sky, Chen Shijie was driving the flying boat outside, Long Xiao entered the cabin, and Zhao Xing took Shan Mao into another room.

Since Zhao Xing's first location was Xi'er County and it was an inspection mission, the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Therefore, the three of them did not communicate with each other along the way.

After flying for most of the day.

At a certain moment, Zhao Xing suddenly looked outside the cabin.

The power of water between heaven and earth became intense.

"The destination is almost here." Zhao Xing sat up straight. Xi'er County was near the river, and the power of the water was several times stronger than that of Shiyang Cave.

When looking at the sky, I feel that the earth is favorable, and the water veins in the earth's veins also become strong.

Taking out his ground mirror, Zhao Xingfu looked at the mission.

[First Ring Military Affairs: Inspection of the Divine Power Army]

[Location: Xi'er County]

[Military Intelligence: Xi'er County is an important border town. However, it has been at peace for too long and has been neglected. Many illegal activities have occurred within it. A total of 1,423 people have been involved in smuggling, smuggling, corruption, adultery, murder, robbery, abduction, and wounding. people. 】

[The following is a specific list and the crimes committed by each person. You need to convict and punish the people on the list. 】

[After completing the task, you can submit it in the ground mirror. 】

Zhao Xing opened the list and read it again.

[Hong Tai: The current captain of the Shenwei Army, Changshui, is under the seventh rank. He served as Tian Ling from Tao County, Xi'er County for five years, and returned after the reorganization of the Shenwei Army. The crime committed: raped fourteen people and forced five to death. After Boping Hou was reinstated and transferred, in order to cover up the crime, all the family members of the fourteen victims were killed. 】

[Qi Shan: Shenwei Army is currently a lieutenant in the middle base. From the seventh rank, he served as the Pinghuai Order of Fubu County, Xi'er County for three years. He set up private checkpoints and accepted bribes of 3.42 million taels from foreign chambers of commerce. 】

[Fan Geng: The current commander of the Nine Sections of Shenwei Army, he is the eighth rank. He once served as Sinong Cheng of Taicang, Heyuan County. He used his power for personal gain and occupied three mountains, two lakes, manors and fields, totaling 14,800 acres. 】

[He Cheng: The current leader of the Nine Sections of the Shenwei Army is under the eighth rank...]

【Chang Sihai...】

…

The list was very long. After Zhao Xing quickly went through it, he closed his eyes and thought.

It was five years since Bopinghou lost his position as the commander-in-chief of the Shenwei Army.

He also returned to his fief.

During these five years, the Divine Power Army existed in name only.

Without the leader, most of the soldiers were sent to various places to serve as officials. This is why Lao Chen came to Gucheng, Nanyang County for five years.

A year ago, when Zhao Xinglai was training, Boping Hou Yang An was reinstated and was re-appointed as the chief general of the Shenwei Army. This was a fourth-grade military general. No matter what Yang An's original strength was, as long as he was the chief general of the Shenwei Army, he would definitely It will be the fourth level.

If the plain-barbarian war starts, it is estimated that they can temporarily have the combat power of the fourth level. This is the characteristic of the Qi Luck Dynasty system.

Regardless of your own strength, if you sit in this official position, your strength and official rank must match.

The Shenwei Army was reorganized, and many soldiers who had been sent away to serve as officials returned to Xi'er County.

Of course, there are also those who are unwilling and don't want to fight anymore, so reserve forces are needed to supplement the troops, so there is a matter of selection and transfer.

Five years is enough time for a brave and capable soldier to rot.

After the reorganization, Bopinghou Yang An did nothing but reorganize military affairs in Xi'er County and re-train, so that these old troops could regain their fighting strength and fighting spirit.

However, Yang An is not a god. Even though he screened out many people during this year and conducted self-inspection against the Shenwei Army, some people still hid their illegal activities very well.

For example, 'Hong Tai', who is at the top of the list, still stayed in Xi'er County after the commander of the Shenwei Army was dismissed.

Since the important frontier towns were all military-first systems, everything was prioritized by the military, so his power was still very great.

When he learned that Yang An, Marquis of Boping, had returned, he immediately dealt with his illegal activities and became the Changshui Schoolmaster (a kind of military Si Nong position).

"It is easy to investigate others, but difficult to investigate yourself. It is difficult to clean up thoroughly by self-examination." Zhao Xing secretly said, "It may even take into account the old relationship and let the old subordinates go after knowing it, so that they can make meritorious contributions while guilty."

The frontier military system of the Great Zhou gave great power to the commanders of the military towns, and the same was true for the enfeoffed princes. The right to deal with the crimes of the princes' vassals was also given to the respective princes to decide.

If Yang An found illegality, as long as he was willing, as long as it was not a heinous crime, he had the right to let his subordinates go.

In addition, the major thousand-year-old families all received iron certificates of exemption from death during the Taizu period, which was also a privilege.

When Emperor Wen was alive, he was tolerant of the people and officials, and he did not take action against these systems. But Emperor Jing was different.

He exploited the noble families, took the lead in internal circulation, and recovered a large number of the noble families' Danshu Tiequan for various reasons. This was the main direction of his reform for more than 200 years.

During the Jingxin period, the border army was reformed. As for the enfeoffment of princes? This is the foundation of the country, and he dared not take such a big step.

"During the Jingxin period, the number of reservists recruited by the military increased greatly, and this type of inspection mission also increased sharply. If I receive this kind of mission, if I want to get a high evaluation, I must comply with the court's policy."

"The best practice is to ruthlessly cut these people off."

"Only in this way can it meet the expectations of Emperor Jing. The 'fresh blood' he wants to add to the army is this kind of people who dare to face the powerful and are selfless."

"If I do this, I will definitely get a first-class evaluation."

Zhao Xing rubbed his brows, thought from the perspective of the task setter, and soon came up with the 'best answer'.

"But, this is the best answer the court hopes for."

"If I really do this, it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the Shenwei Army, and it may even make Bo Pinghou dissatisfied. People's hearts are like this. If you want to kill my brothers without touching their own interests, then naturally everyone will plead for mercy, and they will feel sorry for each other."

"If I kill half and release half, the court should be able to give me a B, which means that I have the courage to do things but not do them thoroughly. But in this case, I might as well kill them all."

"If the death penalty is reduced to a serious crime, and the serious crime is given a lighter sentence, based on my previous performance, I should be able to get a C, which means qualified." Zhao Xing thought.

He didn't even consider the possibility of failing, because even if he did nothing, just told the situation to Bo Pinghou, and then submitted it, and didn't care about anything, he could still get a C, which was a solid foundation laid in the first half of the training.

The inspection task does not involve the personal ability of the military minister, and it does not even involve morality, because from the above three systems, Zhao Xing is allowed to release people.

This task is only to test your heart, to see if your heart as a genius is on the same path as the court.

But if you fail three times in a row, even if you were a top-level genius before, you will be done with the third-ring task.

At best, you can be an eighth-rank military minister of agriculture.

"I have to kill the captain and the commander right after I come up. Is the first ring task so exciting?" Zhao Xing muttered to himself and looked out the window.

The swordfish flying boat began to slow down and fly down.

Xi'er County, we have arrived.

I give up, the weather is unpredictable. I was still wearing short sleeves and shorts yesterday, but it's still cold today even with a single layer of clothes.

I'm afraid it's not the "warm change". I started to have diarrhea in the afternoon and got prickly heat on my face. It's so painful.

But there are still two more chapters today, and the time is uncertain. As usual, it's midnight.
