This place in Jizhou is like a wrestling field, no one is convinced, and everyone wants to overpower the other. But obviously, for thousands of years, the Holy Pilgrimage has had an absolute advantage.

Jizhou was also glorious, but who would have thought that it would be like this now.

As far as Chu Xian knew before, the people of Jizhou, more than seventy percent, or even more than eighty percent, already believe in various gods, this belief is deep-rooted, deep in the bone marrow, and it is difficult to correct it in a short period of time.

Jiang Henggong was arrested, and the Holy Dynasty sent an official to do the history of the assassination at that time, but in the past few months, it is obvious that this assassin has limited ability, and he has not solved the situation in Jizhou, and it is estimated that it is because of this, so Xiao Yuzhongshu will make up his mind and agree to Chu Xian's petition and let Chu Xian do the history of the assassination of Jizhou.

When Chu Xian arrived in Heihe City, the first thing he did was to replace him.

In the state capital of Heihe City, Zhou Gongming has not slept for several days, and since he was assigned as the assassin of Jizhou, Zhou Gongming knows that this is a heavy burden.

After he arrived, he was busy almost every day, first learning about the situation in various places, and then keeping the state capital running. It's just that he is only one person, he is in the state capital, although he can give orders, but the people below can fool him with any means.

So although he has been here for several months, Zhou Gongming's understanding of Jizhou is only on the surface, or in other words, it is all in the 'scam' designed by others.

The officials everywhere are not stupid, where do they dare to truthfully report the real situation now, so they are all making up nonsense, downplaying the situation in Jizhou, and fooling Zhou Gongming.

In this way, Zhou Gongming didn't know that most of the people believed in gods, and he didn't know that there were still terrible things about using living people as sacrifices in various places.

He has been worrying about people's livelihood these days, and the biggest problem he has encountered is that the state capital has no money, and there are poor people everywhere, and some people are already unable to open the pot.

For this matter, Zhou Gongming can be said to be tired and tired.

But even so, Zhou Gongming can be regarded as diligent, because he thinks that he will do this errand well and correct the official position of the assassin.

And he didn't know that his generation of assassins had already done it.

Just when Zhou Gongming was reviewing the approvals from various places, someone reported below, the official looked strange and a little frightened, saluted after coming in, and then said: "Lord Assassin, outside...... ...... outside"

Halfway through it, I didn't know how to continue.

Zhou Gongming is an official, he has a very good set, and at the moment he is pretending to be majestic, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on outside? ”

The official gritted his teeth and said, "There is a Master Chu outside, who said that he was here to take office." ”

"Take office?" Zhou Gongming stopped with the pen in his hand, raised his head and said, "Who is it? What Lord Chu?"

The official bowed his head: "It's Chu Xian, Lord Chu, who said that he was ordered to come to take up the post of Jizhou Assassin." ”

When he said this, the official's heart and heart were beating, and it was obvious that whether this matter was true or not, he had to be careful, because he could not afford to offend either this person or the one outside the door.

"What, the assassin in office?" Zhou Gongming's eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and he said angrily: "It's just nonsense, you also believe the words of the liar, how did you do it?"

The official who reported the news complained bitterly, but he could only stubbornly say: "Lord Assassin Shi, then, that Lord Chu has a certificate of appointment in his hand, and there is a Chinese book seal on it. ”

Zhou Gongming was stunned this time.

"Wait a minute, you just said, what's that man's name?"

The official hurriedly said, "Chu Xian, Lord Chu." ”

"Chu Xian?" Zhou Gongming put down the pen in his hand, of course he knew who Chu Xian was, the officials and scholars of the Holy Dynasty, who didn't know Chu Xian?

That is an example for the people of the world, and it is also a dazzling star in the officialdom of the Holy Dynasty, of course Zhou Gongming knows. However, for Chu Xian, he personally doesn't like it very much, in Zhou Gongming's opinion, this Chu Xian is too young, and he always feels that he is rising too fast, and there must be something shady.

To put it bluntly, the red eyes are jealous and unconvinced.

Zhou Gongming has worked hard in officialdom for more than 30 years, and he can be regarded as an old officialdom, and he can sit all the way to the official of the fifth grade, he is also a little complacent, and he has indeed done some amazing things in the past, so he always feels that a newcomer in officialdom like Chu Xian, who has been promoted so quickly, relies on relationships and comes up through the back door.

Because of this, he looked down on Chu Xian.

"This Chu Xian, why is he here? Isn't he in Liangzhou?" Zhou Gongming muttered to himself, as if he had thought of something, and said, "It can't be a liar, right?"

The official below hurriedly shook his head: "No, the appointment certificate in his hand is true." ”

"Hmph, how can you tell the real from the fake? Let him in. "Zhou Gongming still thinks it's safer, he doesn't believe it a hundred, after all, he is now a representative assassin, and he is doing a good job, why should he suddenly change people?

This doesn't make sense.

Even if you want to replace it, you should inform yourself.

Therefore, Zhou Gongming decided in his heart that it was a liar outside, and he wanted to see which way the thief was so bold and actually deceived the state capital.

Soon, Chu Xian came in.

Before this, he had already walked around Heihe City, and what made Chu Xian's heart ache was that even in this state capital, the people's faith situation was quite serious.

If you look closely, every house has a shrine dedicated to the unknown gods and gods, and even if the children are hungry at home, the children have not eaten, but the food offered to the shrine every day does not dare to be sloppy.

Even Chu Xian had seen ignorant children stealing food from the shrine because they were hungry, and after being discovered, they were beaten and punished.

Is the child at fault?

No.

Is there something wrong with you?

It doesn't seem to be either.

When this distorted belief becomes the norm, those who do not follow it will be regarded as an outlier, and even punished and retaliated against.

Those who are already in pain, do not think of crawling out, but can only be in it, and then sink, if they find that someone is going to betray, they will attack them in groups, and if there is someone who opposes the gods, or even blasphemes the gods, these people are the first to attack.

This kind of distorted belief torments everyone in Jizhou.

Even the entire Polar State, which seems normal, is actually terminally ill.

This kind of thing, Chu Xian has seen too much along the way, and he has seen too much, I thought that the situation in the state capital was better, who knows, it is the same here.

So Chu Xian was also a little angry.

He knew that after Jiang Henggong was arrested, the Holy Dynasty sent a representative assassin history, and it has been a few months since the calculation time, so for such a long time, doesn't this representative assassin history not know the situation in Jizhou? Don't you want to think of a way to solve it?

If you don't do anything and stay in the state capital all day long, what's the difference between it and Jiang Henggong?

Chu Xian thinks, as an official, you have to do things, even if things are difficult, even if they are full of thorns, you have to do the same, the more difficult it is, the more necessary it is to do it.

If you are afraid of this, afraid of that, and lazy, then don't come to be an official.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Xian is also dissatisfied with this assassin Zhou Gongming, and on other days, Chu Xian may be polite, at least on the surface, he will not show too much, everyone wants to save face, especially officials. But this time, the situation is different, the situation in Jizhou is already so serious that it is terminally ill, and it will be too late if you don't do it.

So in a hurry, Chu Xian didn't plan to give this stabbing Shi a good face.

Therefore, when he came in, Chu Xian had a black face, and he wanted to ask the current assassin Shi Zhou Gongming what he was eating.

In other words, Chu Xian and Zhou Gongming were both angry and ready to question each other.

At this moment, Chu Xian strode in, Zhou Gongming stood in front of the hall with a disdainful face, and at first glance, Zhou Gongming was in his heart, and secretly said that this person is quite imposing, full of official power, just this momentum without anger is actually a point stronger than himself.

This made Zhou Gongming even more unhappy.

A liar is actually more temperamental and imposing than a genuine official, are all current liars so good at acting?

Zhou Gongming sneered in his heart, let's act secretly, and when the time comes, I will debunk you, and see that your liar's momentum is not enough.

When Chu Xian walked in, Zhou Gongming was ready to attack, but obviously, his mouth was half a beat slower than Chu Xian.

"Zhou Gongming, right? Since you have been ordered by the Holy Dynasty to come to Jizhou to do this generation of assassins, you are not out of the door, and you are nesting in the state capital all day long, how much do you know about the current situation in Jizhou? How much do you know about the people's lives? At present, the people are suffering, and they are still being oppressed and controlled by those gods, and they are miserable, what have you done in the past few months?"

Chu Xian came up with a fire, and when he came up, he questioned like a cannon, and directly blinded Zhou Gongming.

The latter stared, and was actually intimidated by Chu Xian's momentum, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he was furious at the moment. Zhou Gongming was a person who wanted to save face, and this one was reprimanded by a liar in his eyes, how could he bear it? That anger was rushing upwards, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was angry and rushed to the crown.

At that moment, he slapped the table angrily and shouted: "You liar, you still dare to question this official? What does this official do, I need you to ask? It's a joke, unreasonable, this official has been working diligently for the people for several months, he hasn't slept for a day, and the official documents he has disposed of are enough to pile up into a hill, and you actually say that this official doesn't know the suffering of the people, it's just nonsense, come here, take down this liar." ”

Zhou Gongming was really angry.

He has never been so angry, especially the other party's words, they are simply to the point, and what they say is his sore spot, as an official, this accusation is already extremely serious, so it is no wonder that he is so angry.

He was angry, and Chu Xian was also angry.

Chu Xian has seen too many along the way, and he has seen it with his own eyes, he has killed many gods, and rescued some people, but Chu Xian knows very well that this kind of thing is not a cure for the symptoms.

He also knew that the strength of those gods was due to this 'power of faith'.

Similar to the incense and golden body technique, this kind of exercise Chu Xian has studied before, and it is originally a superior exercise, but if it is used by those gods, it will become a means to control people.
