Only half a month later, His Majesty Emperor Tianyou's Zhubi Imperial Approval quickly returned to the 'Yecheng' Governor's Yamen. And Cai Ning, who 'took the mouse with the dog', had in his hands the Zhu Approval of Emperor Zhou Yuanqing, and he was able to completely close the coffin of the two arson cases in Julu County; of course, Emperor Tianyou also punished Cai Ning, the governor of Zhongzhou, who was 'under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou', for a whole year; and the 'portraits of criminals' that had been dictated by layers and pieced together by the painters of the Criminal Department were also successively distributed to the prefectures and counties in various places......

But if the arrest in various places really relies on this kind of portrait to catch thieves, then the safety of Shen Gui and the others will be fully guaranteed.

As for the candidate for the successor magistrate of Julu County, it is still 'imitated' in the way of 'showing filial piety and honesty' like the previous Lord Chen; that is to say, the gentry and elders of the county will deliberate, and then select a person with both talent and virtue from among the civil elites to serve as the magistrate.

Yes, at the beginning, the 'Youlang Zhixian', although he followed Feng Qiling's door, was a county magistrate who was born as a 'donation official'; but from the perspective of Beiyan's law, because Beiyan did not allow the promotion method of 'donating officials', 'Chen Youlang' was able to serve as a mere Bai Ding as a Qipin Zhi County, and on the bright side, he adopted the promotion method of 'raising filial piety and honesty'.

But now the head of the gentry and elders in Julu County, Feng Qiling Feng, has been buried in the fire; And the 'whole team' of the former magistrate Chen was also killed by General Cai, who was angry, and came to a 'full house'...... So who should decide the candidate for Julu County's 'filial piety' this time?

Let's ask the opinion of the Huashen Sect!

Now in the entire Julu County, at least more than eighty percent of the ordinary people have all become loyal believers in the Huashen Sect; Some of them are true, and those fallacies have been blinded to their minds; The remaining 'smart people' are also opportunists who have come simply to 'take advantage', but no matter what their purpose is in joining the Huashen Sect; But somewhere in the body of these people, all of them were tattooed with the 'merit lines' that could not be washed off for a lifetime by those 'Huashen monks'; that is to say, if the Huashen Sect was really completely exterminated by the imperial court one day, and these ordinary people, who were originally in peace and self-discipline, would also be punished with the same crime as those divine sticks because of this highly recognizable tattoo pattern......

Shen Gui's journey in Julu County was the first confrontation between him and the Huashen Sect. Although judging from the scene, Shen Gui has already lost a lot; But in fact, this final result was also unacceptable to the Huashen Sect!

First of all, they were disrupted by Shen Gui's original plan, and were forced to put the plan of 'usurping Julu Village' on the table in advance; secondly, they also paid Zhao Qi (Zhao Huashen), a great steward of the Huashen Sect and the 'chief planner' who personally established the Huashen Business Group; Moreover, they also have to pay their only ally, Nan Kang Diting, an extremely high 'indemnity' to compensate for the 'death' of the Diting Offering in the course of the mission-Chi Zhong; In the end, because Julu County, the 'premature birth altar', needs a long time to gain a firm foothold, they have also been forced to stop the 'Huashen Business Group' that is in a period of 'rapid development'......

The Huashen Sect had been preparing painstakingly for four years from top to bottom, and just as they were about to gradually grasp the first 'trading city', they were suddenly beaten back to their prototype by a Shen Gui who was born out of nowhere...... And when Zhang Yuan compensated Di Ting for the huge amount of money, he suddenly found that the remaining 'activity funds' of the Huashen Sect had reached the point of 'stretched'!

If you still rely on the 'dozens of taels or hundreds of taels' of those Youfang Taoist priests to cheat back, it will be a drop in the bucket for the current size of the Huashen Sect! And if you don't have any money in your pocket, what should you let those compassionate Huashen monks take to 'do good deeds and accumulate virtue'?

However, not all of them are wine bags and rice bags! Of course, there are also those who know that behind the crisis, there is also a turning point......

A week later, at the regular court meeting of the Zijin Palace, the left prime minister Wang Fangdang presented a 'jade ring' with poor workmanship.

According to him, this is the 'evidence' of Wang Dejiu, the new 'acting magistrate of Julu County', who was sent to his Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. Because this 'Wang Daizhi County' is a private school gentleman, he has never had any experience in his life; Therefore, he is not very clear about the government affairs process of the imperial court.

And the jade ring that he 'mistakenly presented' to the Prime Minister's Mansion belonged to the ancestral heirloom of Chen Lian'an, the former Julu Zhixian who had been governed by the governor of Zhongzhou. According to the visitor, this jade ring was dug out of a pile of coke when Wang Dejiu led people to clean up the ruins of Fengfu......

Wang Fang had just reported half of the matter, when Zhou Yuanqing, the displeased Emperor of Heaven, waved his hand and stopped his words:

"Wang Zuocheng, as the saying goes, 'the state has national laws, and the family has its own rules'; since I have already given instructions on this case, and the closing files of the Criminal Department have all been handed over to the case vault for sealing; if Wang Zuocheng gets any 'new evidence' and wants to overturn the case, then he should first conduct a second trial with the Criminal Law Department and the adults of Dali Temple; After reaching a conclusion, it's not too late to come to the Purple Gold Hall to talk about it...... Okay, okay, the topic we should discuss today is the Western Xinjiang ......."

After the court meeting was over and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were dispersed, Emperor Tianyou left only the two prime ministers on the left and right, and entered the imperial study with the two of them to 'deliberate'; during the discussion, the three had a 'little' quarrel, and finally broke up unhappily.

Zhou Yuanqing believes that the newly appointed Wang Dejiu, the magistrate of Julu County, is definitely a lackey of Wang Fang's new subordinates; The reason why he would use the respect of Prime Minister Zuo to recruit a little person who is still in the 'probationary period' even in Qipinzhi County is because he wants to take advantage of the two fires in Julu County and the death of Feng Qiling in the sea of fires as an excuse to start attacking the Cai Party! As for this jade ring that originally belonged to Chen Lian'an, it should be Wang Fang's desire to turn the 'Feng Mansion burned' into a scandal of their 'Cai Party' fighting in the nest through such a so-called 'evidence'!

And the right prime minister Cai Xi was even more annoyed in his heart! The reason why Chen Lian'an was able to become a county official was because he followed the path of Feng Qiling, which was equivalent to his 'party member' of the Cai Party; such a scandalous incident happened in the 'courtyard wall of his own house', which had a great impact on his Cai Xi's reputation; and from a personal point of view, he also lost a classmate and friend who could trust him with his life!

Anyone with Cai Xi's status and status can make him a hardcore ally who is willing to trust his life with his net worth is a thing that can be met but not sought. With the loss of a Feng Qiling, the Cai Party has already suffered a huge blow; And this 'Wang Pao Zhan' obviously plans to fall into the ground, wanting to uproot his entire Cai Party with a 'corrupt and perverted law' Chen Lian'an and a jade ring that can be seen everywhere!

As for Wang Fang, the left prime minister who 'took the lead in making trouble', his heart was as aggrieved as the snow in June! First of all, the royal party is still shrouded in the shadow of the defeat of the Northern Expedition and has not yet fully recovered; Secondly, who is Mr. Wang Dejiu, the private school, he really hasn't heard of it; Although his temper is a little short-tempered, he has never disdained to lie to people in this life! Whether it was in the Purple Gold Hall just now, or in the imperial study at this time, everything he said was true! But whether it is Emperor Tianyou Zhou Yuanqing or his old opponent 'Cai Donkey', he refuses to believe a word at all!

A sulking donkey prime minister, a cannonball prime minister full of grievances, and a Tianyou emperor who is in charge of 'peace and mud', what results can these three people talk about?

Wang Fang is indeed younger than Cai Xi...... At the age of one year, the anger is really bigger! When he was completely fed up with the beating and suspicion of the two monarchs and ministers, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of saliva from Prime Minister Cai, who is already sixty-four this year......

If it weren't for Zhou Yuanqing's quick summoning of the Ouchi guards and separating the two old prime ministers who were about to scuffle together; So how lively and lively is it in this imperial study today......

In fact, the jade ring that Wang Dejiu sent to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion is indeed Chen Lian'an's ancestral heirloom; And he also successfully used this inferior jade ring to induce a new round of arrest and killing between Cai and Wang! As a result, most of the attention of the entire Northern Yan Dynasty, including Emperor Tianyou Zhou Yuanqing, has been attracted by these two prime ministers......

The Heavenly God Sect, which was far away in Julu County, also got a rare respite.

So who gave this ancestral ring to Wang Dejiu? Naturally, it is Master Cheng who is stiff in the peach and the golden cicada is out of the shell!

Although Master Cheng from Ludong was born as a scholar, in the land of Qilu, the hometown of saints, a scholar like him with a 'white Ding body' was equivalent to illiteracy, but when he got acquainted with Zhang Yuan, the leader of the Huashen Sect, he was treated almost as a 'national scholar'!

Death for a confidant.

Master Cheng, who was full of wealth, willingly succumbed to Zhang Yuan's methods; And with his ability to read and write, he has become the core backbone of the Huashen Sect.

And this time, Cai and Wang ignited the war again because of an ordinary ring, and it was the handiwork of this Master Cheng! With such a rare respite, the Huashen Sect can slowly take root and sprout in this land of Julu County, and then gradually 'radiate' the entire Huayu Continent!
