Hearing what Zhou dared to say, the officials in Shandong went to the provincial border to greet him, and they did not hesitate to work the people and lose money to welcome him. Wang Xian was not happy but worried, and frowned: "There is nothing to be done, and it is either a traitor or a thief." These people are going too far, aren't they? ”

"It seems that the subordinates are normal." Zhou Dare replied: "My lord doesn't know, Shandong is rotten, and the gods can't save it." If adults want to find their faults, they have to find a quasi, and they can only use this method to block the mouths of adults. ”

"Tell me, what kind of rotten method is it?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"The basic situation in Shandong, adults have long understood, let's just talk about the White Lotus Sect case investigated by the adults this time." Zhou Dare said in a deep voice: "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this Shandong is the territory of the Red Turban Army, as early as the seventeenth year of Zhizheng, Liu Futong sent Mao Gui to attack Jiaozhou, Laizhou, Yidu, Binzhou and other places, since then this area is under the control of the Red Turban Army, and the White Lotus Sect has also penetrated into the people. Later, Taizu banned the White Lotus Sect of the Ming Sect, and the White Lotus Sect in Shandong was only slightly covered, and the backbone of the hall was not damaged at all, but it turned from open to underground activities. After a Jiazi is operated, Shandong has long been the world of the White Lotus Sect! From officials to merchants, and even the subordinates and family members of the Sanji Mansion, there are many faithful believers! ”

"It's all to this extent, and the three chiefs have never turned a blind eye?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"Not only do they turn a blind eye, but I'm afraid they are all more or less connected," Zhou Dang said with some frustration: "If they want to raise taxes, manage public security, and prevent the displaced people from causing chaos, there is no other way but to turn to the White Lotus Sect for help." Every time there is a festival of the White Lotus Sect, the local officials have to go to the temple in person and worship the Buddha respectfully, but in fact, they are not worshipping the Buddha, but the Maitreya Buddha of the White Lotus Sect......

"This is really ......" Wang Xian became heavier and heavier the more he listened, and his brows became tighter and tighter: "It's a big joke in the world!" Whose world is this Shandong?! ”

Zhou Dang sighed and said, "There is no way to say it, it doesn't matter if you are an official, a businessman, or a farmer in Shandong, as long as you live here, you can't get around the White Lotus Sect!" Don't tell you the truth, even in our Jinyi Guard, there are a large number of followers of the White Lotus Sect! Although the subordinates tried their best to cleanse it, I am afraid that there is still no remnant to be removed......"

"I heard you were assassinated last month?" Wang Xian looked at a scar on Zhou Kang's neck and asked softly. "That's why it's because of this, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Dang nodded, and said with some fear: "A hundred-year-old son of a hundred households invited me to eat and drink." As a result, who thought it was a killing game, those guys from the White Lotus Sect had already wanted to kill me, and they ambushed dozens of people in the house. Fortunately, his subordinates had some eyesight, and they found it early, and they killed it under the desperate protection of their subordinates, but the six brothers who went with me only came back......"

"They're so rampant?!" Wang Xian's expression became more and more solemn and said: "It seems that my trip is really going deep into the tiger's den." ”

"Your Excellency is right, this Shandong is the Longtan Tiger's Den! Be careful! Zhou dared to laugh at himself: "There is a precept under the subordinates now, except for their own people, anyone can be the White Lotus Sect...... Stay in this place for a few more years, and you'll be able to drive yourself crazy. ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" Wang Xian has the impression that Zhou Kang's personality is just like his name, bold and enterprising! Now that he is saying such depressing words in front of himself, it seems that the experience of the past few months is unforgettable. He comforted Zhou Dang softly and said, "Let's work together this time to solve the White Lotus Sect, and the days ahead will be better!" ”

"Yes." Although Zhou Dang responded, he could hear his words and did not have much confidence in Wang Xian. Cheering up, Zhou Dang said in a deep voice: "In addition to the White Lotus Sect, beware of the Han King ......"

Hearing this name, Wang Xian was not surprised at all, the King of Han was sealed in Shandong, and the palace was next to Jinan! Although in the struggle with the crown prince, the king of Han was completely defeated, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was more than enough for him to claim the king and hegemony in this Shandong place! Wang Xian had no doubt that from the moment he learned that he had come to Shandong, King Han would definitely make up his mind that no matter what means he used, even if he sent troops directly, he would let himself be buried in Qilu!

Because of the hatred between the two, it's worth it! Because he is the son of the emperor, he does not need to pay for his life to kill a minister......

"His subordinates were ordered to monitor Le'an Prefecture and found that Zhu Zhantan, the son of the Han Dynasty, had close contacts with several high-level officials of the White Lotus Sect," Zhou Dang told Wang Xian about his new discovery: "And the Han King secretly controlled the salt fields of Laizhou and Jimo, as well as the gold mines in Zhaoyuan, I am afraid that the thief's heart will not die, and there will be a struggle!" ”

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded approvingly, Zhou Dang was able to learn so much important information in such a short time, which showed that he was not wrong. "Unless King Han dies and the lights go out, he will definitely toss to the end!"

"My lord," Zhou Dang said with some uncertainty, "According to unreliable sources, King Han has already entered the White Lotus Sect...... His subordinates dared to guess if he wanted to rebel with the help of the White Lotus Sect? ”

"Haha!" Wang Xian shook his head with a smile and said, "You said unreliable news!" Rest assured, the pride of His Royal Highness the King of Han is not something that we ordinary people can understand, and he is the son of a dignified emperor, and he can't do that kind of thing. Said with a somewhat contemptuous smile: "Back then, he was in the sky, with 100,000 soldiers, but he was still wiped out in the snap of His Majesty's fingers, and now he is in Shandong, why did he rebel?" As long as His Majesty is in one day, he will not have this thought......" In the end, Wang Xian himself was a little speechless.

"Your Excellency?" Zhou Dang asked softly.

"It's fine." Wang Xian shook his head, he thought that if His Majesty was gone, King Han would definitely give it a go! And His Majesty the Emperor's dragon body is getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid it won't last a few years...... It seems that it would be great if he could take advantage of this trip to Shandong to completely eliminate the threat of the Han king.

But this year only flashed in Wang Xian's heart, because it was too unrealistic. I don't know if the White Lotus Sect alone can be eliminated, plus a Han king...... That's called a fool's dream.

On the way back, Wang Xian was a little silent. To tell you the truth, he was a little less confident...... This time, the enemy is almost the whole of Shandong, and the only thing he can rely on is the hundreds of people around him, a Jinyi Wei Qianhu who has not yet become a climate, and then the official seal token on his body. Those things look bluffing, but if no one buys them, it's better than a kitchen knife......

As for the imperial court eight hundred miles away, I am afraid that it will become more and more strange and alienated as I leave Beijing for a long time, and it is uncertain whether it will be friend or foe at that time...... In fact, when Wang Xian set off, he very much wanted to take the avant-garde of the government army on the road together, and Zhu Zhanji also wanted to use this way to let the avant-garde of the government army who had been greatly injured be reborn. But when he cautiously proposed to the emperor whether he could send the avant-garde of the government army to help Wang Xian, Zhu Di categorically refused. The emperor told Zhu Zhanji that it was just a rebellion, and there were enough soldiers in Shandong! The avant-garde of the government army must stay with the grandson!

In all fairness, over the years, there have been several attacks, and this time the position is the most prominent and powerful, which is to control the military and government of a province! But this time, Wang Xian felt isolated and hopeless......

This kind of emotion also spread among his subordinates, although Shi Wan and the others did not say it, they all looked solemn, and their hearts were already full of doubts about the trip to Shandong.

On the last night before arriving in Shandong, they stayed at Hengshui Xiazhuang Station. In the middle of the night, Wang Xian sprinted desperately on Gu Xiaolian's body, his expression was a little hideous, and his movements were never more brutal. Gu Xiaolian felt his strangeness, but tolerated the pain he gave until Wang Xian was exhausted and lay on his back on the couch.

"Xiao Lian, do you think I'm a little old?" Wang Xian's voice was tired, and there was some weakness hidden.

"The official is talking nonsense, Xiao Lian can't move your fingers when you toss it......" Gu Xiaolian's coquettish voice is the best medicine to soothe a man.

"I'm talking about ......" Wang Xian paused and sighed: "I am actually a little afraid of the road ahead, which has never been ...... before"

"This shows that the officials are really mature." Gu Xiaolian thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "Sage Cloud, trembling, walking on thin ice. Only by having fear in our hearts can we truly overcome fear......"

"Unexpectedly, you have become a Confucian again...... Wang Xian laughed, and then there was no more sound, as if he was asleep.

Gu Xiaolian waited for a while, and wanted to get up to cover him with a quilt, but saw that Wang Xian's eyes were still open, and there was really lingering fear in those black and white eyes. Gu Xiaolian stretched out her arms around Wang Xian's head, and soothed the man's heart with her warm chest...... Wang Xian was in her arms and finally fell asleep .......

In the early morning of the next day, Uncle Zhongyong, who appeared in front of his subordinates, regained his usual vigor and composure, and his gestures could bring great confidence to his subordinates, making them firmly believe that although this time seemed incomprehensible, it was just another magical performance of the adults to 'turn the impossible into possible'!

"My lord! My lord! My lord! "The brocade guards were scrubbing their harnesses and feeding the horses and saddling them, and Wang Xian walked among them, and they did not stop, but only saluted him and called him 'my lord'. Now Wang Xian has become the governor and earl, and only his closest subordinates still call him 'lord', which contains loyalty, faith, and life and death! They are Wang Xian's greatest source of strength!

"Hurry up and clean up, Lao Tzu can't wait, I'm going to Shandong to explode the chrysanthemums of the Buddha's mother!" Wang Xian burst out with a foul mouth, causing a wolf howl from all his subordinates! The unbridled laughter resounded in the post house after many days.

Half an hour later, everyone finished breakfast and got ready to go!

"Let's go, they're all going to be in a hurry." In the golden light, Wang Xian turned over his horse, led the crowd to leave the post station, and rushed to the tiger's den in Longtan!
