Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey

Chapter 307: Collusion (Part 1)

"Yes, real person!" Soldier A responded and went out.

Pei Ziyun ignored him and went straight into the flower hall. Several soldiers followed him in, lit lamps, and stood aside silently. A clerk came up and silently presented the official document. When he saw that there was no ink in the inkstone, he poured some water into it. , gently rub the ink.

Amidst the sound of grinding the inkstone, Pei Ziyun gradually calmed down. He pulled out the official document and read the first one, which said that Chen Yong had captured two counties and led troops to surround Yuan'an County. There was also annotation on it: "Chen Yonghui" There are 25,000 soldiers from the three nearby counties!"

Pei Ziyun smiled, seeing that Mo was there, he nodded and said: "Yuan'an County is an isolated city, with only seven thousand soldiers. You can call for internal support, or there may be surprises. It's okay to not succeed. Wait until I lead my troops here." To make a calculation."

The next one was about Ronglai County. Captain Zhang Qiu sent troops and was defeated. He was beheaded by the guerrilla general Ren Bin of the Marquis of Jibei. He took advantage of this to attack Ronglai County. Wan Ying, the magistrate of Ronglai County, died in the battle and martyred his country. The city was broken.

Pei Ziyun secretly sighed. In fact, he has a deeper understanding of military affairs after leading troops in wars. This Ren Bin may have some generals, but on the side of the Marquis of Jibei, no matter how many generals he has, it will be difficult to save the overall situation. His The only outcome was death, and he immediately issued instructions: "Ronglai County has been destroyed, and Gu'an County must be more careful. Wanying's death in battle must be verified and reported."

Then there was the story of Kuancheng Mansion, which successfully transported three thousand shi of grain through the waterway. This was a good thing, but people couldn't help but sigh that countless weapons and weapons were spent.

He put it down casually, not intending to read the instructions. He walked to the window and saw the spring scenery, which was exceptionally bright even in the rain. There were soldiers patrolling in the distance. Pei Ziyun's eyes were gloomy, and his mind was no longer on Yingzhou.

After he was reborn, he was actually entangled with Xie Chengdong. Some developments were still the same as before, but more developments were completely separated from the memory of the original owner.

On the line of the original owner, the original owner will never forget Xie Chengdong's calm and comfortable demeanor at that time, but now, he is still worse than Xie Cheng in Yin Shen cultivation, but his swordsmanship is not inferior. As for his power, he is now in control. State, has surpassed Xie Chengdong.

"Xie Chengdong is no longer as prosperous as in his previous life. We don't have to wait until later, we can attack him now." Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun was enlightened and made up his mind. At this time, the county magistrate came with the soldiers, cold sweat on his face.

Pei Ziyun stopped thinking and sat upright in the hall with a solemn face. Several soldiers stood in a row with long swords in their hands. As soon as the county magistrate entered, he felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. His face was pale, and there was cold sweat on his forehead and palms. Risking it, he knelt on the ground and said, "Master, I'm summoning my subordinates. I don't know what's going on."

He heard Pei Ziyun ask solemnly: "Xiaoguan? You have been a traitor and rebel, but you still have the dignity to call me a subordinate. Come here, take off this person's black gauze hat!"

"yes!"

The two soldiers agreed and knocked off the black gauze hat. The county magistrate suddenly turned pale.

According to the imperial system, removing the black gauze hat means dismissal from the post, but the official status has not been lost. In the past, he had dignity and even a seat in front of Pei Ziyun, but now he has to kneel down.

"For the sake of the overall interests of the imperial court, it was my idea to pardon the traitorous officials, and I also sent a document to the counties to implement it." Pei Ziyun didn't even look at the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground: "Maybe because of this, some people think that I can be deceived. I can spare you some things, but what do you mean by writing to my mother?"

After hearing this, the county magistrate felt weak all over, and knelt on the ground, his face turned pale: "Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me, I am oppressed by King Lu, holding the order, and King Lu's troops are by my side, so I have to obey." , I don’t dare to protest, so please spare my life.”

"Since you are not the instigator, do you dare to identify the person who instigated it?" Pei Ziyun asked coldly.

After hearing this, the county magistrate was a little hesitant and spoke smoothly: "This, this, this, I'm going to lower my official rank."

He stuttered. Seeing the county magistrate's appearance, Pei Ziyun sneered and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Baoyang County Magistrate, you framed the prince and colluded with the rebels. His crime is unforgivable. Take him out and execute him on the spot."

"Yes!" The soldiers pounced on him ferociously and dragged him away. The county magistrate suddenly became anxious and screamed: "Please forgive me, please give me a chance. Please give me a chance."

Seeing that he was pulled into the courtyard, everything seemed to be in despair. Pei Ziyun waved his hand: "Slow down!"

After shouting stop, the soldiers pulled him back. Although the county magistrate knew that this was a power trick, he was still wet with sweat, his heartbeat was beating fast, and he knelt down and collapsed on the ground. In just a minute, he saw the magistrate's face turned pale, his hall turned black, and his eyes were frightened. , showing a mixture of fear, fear, anger, helplessness and other emotions.

He kept kowtowing: "Don't kill me, real person. I am willing to identify him."

The magistrate's forehead was swollen after just a few blows. Just now, when the murderous intention came, he truly felt the fear of death and no longer dared to hesitate.

"Do you know who the person sent here is?" Pei Ziyun asked, and the county magistrate kowtowed: "I only know that he is a Taoist, and the person in charge is Xie Chengdong."

Pei Ziyun snorted, stood up and stared at him: "Xie Chengdong is the elder of the Qi Xuan Sect. I will give you a chance to accuse the court of the collusion between King Lu and the Marquis of Ji Bei and send the Qi Xuan Sect as thugs!"

After hearing this, the county magistrate suddenly raised his head, looked at Pei Ziyun's murderous face, and lowered his head helplessly: "Yes!"

Tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes. With this accusation, he immediately fell into the strife among the princes of the current dynasty. The disaster was unfathomable. If he just refused, he would die immediately, so he had to accept it.

Seeing the county magistrate's answer, Pei Ziyun changed his mind and picked up the black gauze hat on the ground: "Is this right? Come on, put it on and go back and think about how to write a testimonial report."

"Yes!" The county magistrate took back the black gauze hat, felt relieved, and retreated.

Pei Ziyun turned to the meeting hall. At this time, the rain gradually stopped, and the dark clouds blew away with the wind. The sunset was like blood, the sunset was like fire, and the blood was dripping, and the dusk was dark.

In the meeting hall, the corpses of some black-clad guards and Taoists were lined up in a row.

The dirt and blood stains on the corpse were not washed away, but a strong smell of blood and stench rushed out. There was such a smell in the county government office. Pei Ziyun couldn't help but frown, but just endured it.

Pei Ziyun squinted and saw the bright red sunset shining on the corpse, making it even more depressing and dull. He couldn't help but laugh up at the sky: "One hundred black-clothed guards, together with the Taoist Yinshen, want to kill me, and there are even more earthly immortals Possession is so majestic."

"If I die, even if I succeed, even if there are clues, no one will seriously pursue it, but if I am not dead, things will not be completely different."

When Pei Ziyun said this, he pointed at the corpses and armor with a sinister smile: "The corpses of these black-clad guards are here. It is clear after checking the book. This is ironclad evidence, and Taoists do not appear out of thin air, especially Taoist Yin Shen. They are even the backbone of a sect, and the Qi Xuan sect cannot be separated."

"These people are lawless, and they will be punished in the future!" Lord Yu Yun was afraid that if Pei Ziyun hadn't been vigilant, the Songyun Sect might have been destroyed.

"Will you give me retribution in the future? I will give you retribution now." Pei Ziyun smiled grimly.

Yu Yunjun frowned after hearing this: "These people can be verified. They must also be members of the Black Guards and Qi Xuan Sect. There is no problem with the evidence, but how do you want to handle it?"

"What else can we do? Just do it impartially. I have ordered the county magistrate to accuse Qixuanmen of colluding with King Lu." Pei Ziyun said coldly, raising his sword eyebrows slightly: "Now is the critical moment to encircle and suppress the Marquis of Jibei, but King Lu is He sent someone to assassinate me and said that they were not secretly cooperating. Do you believe it? Not to mention that there is such evidence."

"Accusing King Lu of collusion with the Marquis of Jibei!" This is no small matter. It can be said that the real accusation will shock the government and the public. Yu Yunjun thought, uneasiness emerged in his heart. At this time, he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air and murmured: "Qixuanmen is one of the top ten Dongtian sects. , The foundation is deep, and King Lu is the beloved son of the emperor. If he accuses him at once, does it involve too many things? If one finger is involved, the whole body will be affected, and the whole world will be uneasy. Disputes will spread everywhere, and then the trouble will be big. "

"And there is also the issue of the Holy Family. I'm afraid the emperor will believe in his son more." Yu Yunjun was surprised and said sadly: "In other words, he is more willing to believe in his son."

She emphasized the word "willing".

Pei Ziyun's eyes were gloomy and he said, "You're right. That's why I asked the county magistrate to jump out at this juncture and pierce the paper. I want to see if the court continues to pretend to be deaf. Pretending to be dumb.”

Pei Ziyun smiled grimly. If he was really loyal, he would swallow the bitter pill for the sake of the overall situation, and wait until the Marquis of Jibei is dealt with before he can start to take action.

Many people always endure in the thorns, endure temporary anger for the sake of the overall situation, regardless of gains and losses, and are tempted to endure. Even if they are misunderstood, they will break their front teeth and swallow blood, thinking that the master will understand and understand.

But Pei Ziyun knew very well that this had been rare since ancient times.

If you don’t ask for conditions when you are in the overall situation, who cares if you are past the overall situation

If you don't kill the heroes, you will be an eternal wise king. Even if you are tortured, it is for your own good - the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked. Does the Marquis of Jibei really want to rebel

"If I endure it now and I dare to attack King Lu later, I'm afraid the emperor will kill me for the sake of the overall situation - even the prince will not really help me!" Pei Ziyun knew this clearly. King Lu is the prince. He is a prince, and to the court, he is the overall situation.

As long as King Lu has not officially rebelled, in order to prevent father, son and brother from killing each other, the only way to appease him is to let the heroes be loyal.

How do you say that

"Now the overall situation requires your sacrifice. Since you consider yourself a loyal minister, please die with a smile. If you have any resentment, you are not a loyal minister."

Of course, if Pei Ziyun remained silent even after being slapped and did not cause trouble to the court, the prince would still protect him, otherwise it would not be too cold to the hearts of his subordinates.

"King Lu and Xie Chengdong have repeatedly attacked and even attacked my mother, which has broken my bottom line. Do you really think that I will be infinitely patient for the sake of the overall situation?"

"I'm going to flip the table at this critical moment to see what the court will do?"

Pei Ziyun thought like this, with a sneer that he couldn't hide. Seeing Lord Yu Yun's worry, he smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I know your concerns. I just said that it was the county magistrate who said that King Lu and the Marquis of Jibei were in collusion. It’s not me, although everyone knows it, but it is still a step.”

"Just because the county magistrate is discounting, the most likely thing the court will do is to treat it coldly."

"Afterwards, the county magistrate and his superiors will find other reasons to punish him - but he followed the thieves and wanted to kill me, my mother, you and the teacher. This fate is not unjust to him."

"And at most it only affects him alone. He will not be punished for the crime of robberies and genocide, so he actually gets benefits."
