In the darkness, a beast shadow suddenly jumped into the yard, with a low growl sound from its mouth, and the stench came out, and spread in all directions.
In the yamen, the pacesetters under the governor heard the movement and immediately gathered in the direction where the beast's roar erupted.
Under the light of the fire, the true face of the beast shadow was revealed instantly.
One of the pacesetters looked at it for a moment, and said, "The two ears are pointed and long, and it looks like a dog... Is it a jiao? Be careful..."
But before he could roar, the monster known as Ji had already charged into the crowd.
I saw that this monster moved like the wind, and a random collision would turn everyone on their backs.
A pair of sharp claws are as steel as iron, leaving deep claw marks on the ground with a light leap.
The monster rushed all the way to the backyard of the yamen, and the places it passed were either killed or injured, causing bursts of exclamation.
The pacesetters began to hesitate one by one, only Ning Yu roared, and the muscles and muscles all over his body swelled under the perfusion of energy and blood, and directly blocked the monster.
boom!
A beast and a man slammed into each other violently, a burst of fiery air burst out, and the blue bricks under the feet of both sides shattered inch by inch.
Ning Yu's face turned pale, and she became surprised in her heart: "This monster's brute force is stronger than a five-level master trained horizontally, and its fangs and claws are comparable to magic weapons... How could such a monster appear in the city?" A beast? '
Roar!
The two sides fought fiercely, and Ning Yu didn't check, and the beast's claws had brought a gust of wind, and slammed into her chest.
Seeing the claws approaching her chest inch by inch, the sharp air currents scraped her cheeks with pain.
At this moment, a palm appeared between the two as if traveling through space.
That palm seemed to carry a strange magic power, making everyone on the scene couldn't help but focus on it.
Under the extremely fast impact, the beast's sharp claws slammed into the center of the palm.
But the palm was not injured at all, but the violent backshock shattered the flesh of the claws, exposing the white bones.
Then the palm turned slightly, as if the atmosphere was stirred.
Dao Dao Gang Qi screamed and dispersed like a whirlpool.
Under the rotation of the stellar energy, the beast began to spiral from its claws.
It looked as if a pair of invisible big hands grabbed the beast, and then twisted it hard like twisting a towel.
Amidst the crackling sound, the beast was squeezed into a ball of twists from the claws to the chest cavity to the stem and hind paws in a blink of an eye, and burst into a rain of blood.
Chu Qiguang swept out lightly with his palm, and under the sweeping aura, he gathered the bursting rain of blood into a ball, turning into a blood cell and appearing in his palm.
Then a burst of high temperature came, and the bloody water turned into a mist and floated into the sky, disappearing.
The pacesetters around stared wide-eyed, watching this scene in shock.
From the beginning to the end, it took such a block, a shock, and a roll of effort, without even a single breath, the monster that was still fierce just now turned into a broken corpse on the ground.
Ning Yu felt this more deeply, because her martial arts realm was higher than these pacesetters, so she knew how terrifying the power and explosion of this beast was.
And such a ferocious beast was crushed to death like a small fish.
Chu Qiguang clapped his hands, and said casually: "Find someone to put it away, and the rest of the people should do whatever they want, don't get together here."
Everyone was deeply intimidated by Chu Qiguang's hand, and they subconsciously followed what he said.
After Chu Qiguang turned around and walked towards the study, Ning Yu quickly followed in to check Li Qingyun's condition.
I saw the governor sitting at the desk dealing with official documents, his expression was normal when he was using his pen, as if he was not worried about things outside at all.
Obviously, with Chu Qiguang in charge, he was very relieved and didn't worry about his safety at all.
Chu Qiguang read softly: "Xuanyuan Wuji, listen to my orders!"
The talisman 'God General' in his body was activated suddenly, and five gleaming golden Dharma protectors were summoned to stand beside Li Qingyun.
"Then they will stay here. I will go out for a walk and be back in a while."
Seeing Chu Qiguang stepping out and disappearing into the study, he became more and more mysterious in Ning Yu's eyes.
She asked in surprise: "Zhongcheng, what is the background of this person? Could it be that he is a master of Dragon Snake Mountain who can summon the guardian gods?"
Li Qingyun didn't give this answer, but said while looking at the official document: "Anyway, in Shuzhou, there is no safer place than around him."
"You don't have to worry about my safety. Next, we need to find out who did it..."
……
On a street a hundred meters away from the governor's yamen, several big men in hard attire were pushing a carriage, looking in the direction of the yamen from time to time.
"Why is there no movement?"
"Could it be that the beast that was put in was subdued?"
"Could it be that the governor is surrounded by masters?"
At this moment, a voice came faintly from the darkness behind them.
"I heard that there are Mao, Song, and Xiong families in Jinrong Mansion. Which family do you belong to?"
Several people looked back quickly, and after seeing Chu Qiguang's appearance, one of them breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that he is a brat."
After all, geniuses in this world are very few.
In the common sense of most warriors, the level of martial arts is related to the length of hard training.
According to common sense, a person's martial arts level can be roughly judged by a person's appearance and age.
From their point of view, Chu Qiguang in front of them doesn't look like a powerful person.
"Let me change jobs for you."
As Chu Qiguang said that, he stepped out in one step, and the Gang Qi swept over his body, like a walking storm that suddenly exploded.
The screams were buried by the strong wind.
As Chu Qiguang stepped out step by step, he swept away with a storm around him.
He wrapped these well-dressed men in front of him in the strong wind, and just like that, he returned to the previous yard with the strong wind, and stopped in front of Li Qingyun.
Then Chu Qiguang slapped out casually, and Gangfeng threw several big men to the ground.
"Let's have a trial and see which family these people belong to. They should be the ones who did it this time."
Before dawn the next day, several big men were dragged in front of them covered in blood.
The soldier in charge of the interrogation said: "They are all martial artists invited by the Mao family. The Mao family drugged the monster in advance and let them wake it up after sending it."
"What a Mao family, dare to attack the governor of a state. It is really greedy and reckless."
A cold light flashed in Li Qingyun's eyes, and he was about to call up his soldiers and go to Mao's house to get someone.
A staff member on the side persuaded: "Zhongcheng! No way, this Mao family has been rooted in Jinrong Mansion for hundreds of years, and has been married to prominent families from all over Shuzhou for generations. The relationship is intertwined. If you move his family, you may stab a hornet's nest. "
Li Qingyun sneered when he heard the words, but his eyes, who were obviously not very good at martial arts, burst into a fierce light that shocked everyone present.
"The root is intertwined? This is the intertwined root! Shout out all the soldiers and follow me to catch the thief."
The governor has direct subordinates, several staff members laughed wryly when they heard the words, feeling that Li Qingyun was still impulsive.
……
Inside the Mao Family Manor.
A young man ran into the backyard nervously: "Father! It's not good, the newly appointed governor came here with troops."
An old man sneered when he heard the words: "Well done, after letting him return home this time, I see what face he has to clear Tian."
"I don't even look at where Shuzhou is, let him be a governor or Jinshi, and I have to lie down here when I come here."
"This field was saved by my Mao family through generations of hard work, how could it be defeated by me?"
This old man is the current head of the Mao family, Mao Ying. For him, Li Qingyun's figuring out Tian is to cut his flesh and bleed him, and he will never give in.
……
On the other side, Chu Qiguang and Li Qingyun rushed to the manor belonging to the Mao family outside the city with their soldiers.
Walking along the way, you can see the fields outside the manor, and countless tenants are working.
The Mao family has developed in Jinrong Mansion for many years, and the annexation of land is a basic operation, and most of the nearby farmland has already been occupied.
The local people either did or stayed as tenants, or fled and became refugees.
Li Qingyun sighed from the side: "The Mao family only occupies more than 30 mu of land in Jinrong Mansion, but the land that is handed over to the land tax every year is less than [-] mu, and the shops and real estate owned by them are countless..."
Chu Qiguang laughed: "The copy must be from this kind of wealthy family."
While talking, he saw thousands of villagers in front of them carrying hoes and sickles, blocking their team together.
The people standing in the front row are all old and weak women and children.
Apparently, someone on Li Qingyun's side leaked the news long ago, and then someone organized people to block him.
Li Qingyun sighed when he saw the peasants standing in the way silently, neither speaking nor doing anything.
In fact, most of these are tenants of the Mao family. It stands to reason that their ancestors were all taken over by the Mao family by trickery, and the two sides should be enemies.
But now Chu Qiguang and Li Qingyun brought people to deal with the Mao family, but these tenants were instigated by the Mao family to stop them.
Just because the Mao family is still there, they can still work as tenants for a living.
If the Mao family collapsed, they would have nowhere to go, and they were worried about being taxed heavier by the court than in the past.
In the eyes of these tenants, the imperial court is more vicious than the Mao family, and taxes are more terrifying than land rent.
Ever since Li Qingyun began to preside over Qingtian, the local people have been uncooperative, because the gentry and rightists spread rumors that the imperial court measured the land to increase taxes.
The common people were convinced of this, just because the imperial court was like this in their eyes, and it was useless for Li Qingyun to explain in every possible way.
It was the same now, Li Qingyun yelled a few words, but the tenants in front of him remained motionless.
At this moment, Bian Tai, the Zuo Buzheng of Shuzhou, ran over and persuaded him: "Li Zhongcheng! The Mao family is a kind family in Shuzhou. It is famous for donating money to build bridges and pave roads every year, and to support poor families." Please do good deeds."
"It is absolutely impossible for the Mao family to attack the court officials. There must be villains among them. Li Zhongcheng must not be fooled."
Li Qingyun sneered: "Occupy farmland, evade taxes, attack the governor of a state... and then spend some money every year to build bridges and pave roads, and invest in poor families. Is this a kind home that is willing to do good?"
But Zuo Buzheng Bian Tai was only the first one, and then Shuzhou Press Inspector, Jinrong Prefecture Prefect, Fuxue Jiaoyu, Qingchi County Magistrate... all rushed over.
Even Han Jueyong, the deputy of Zhenma Division Qianhu, ran over, but when he saw Chu Qiguang standing beside Li Qingyun, he paused: "Why is this here?" '
Wang Xuan, the magistrate of Jinrong Mansion, was still there persuading: "Li Zhongcheng! If there is something to be discussed in the long run, it must not provoke a civil uprising."
Originally, once this kind of "civil uprising" came out, and with the cooperation of so many officials, foreign officials, even the governor, had only two choices, either to join forces or be forced to leave.
But Li Qingyun's complexion became more and more serious, and he didn't speak for a long time, but looked at Chu Qiguang who was on the side.
Chu Qi saw almost the same people and coughed.
He cast a glance at Han Jueyong, who was looking at his nose and heart with his eyes straight in the distance, and said, "Han Jueyong, what are you doing here?"
Han Jueyong was still a little unclear about Chu Qiguang's attitude, so he just said vaguely: "Master Chu, I heard that there are people gathering here to make trouble, and I came here to take a look because I was worried that it was a monster."
Seeing that the usually fierce and mighty Deputy Qianhu of the Zhenma Division was so humble in front of the other party.
All the other officials present looked at Chu Qiguang with surprise, and some of them had thoughtful eyes.
Chu Qiguang said lightly: "There is nothing to see, let's go back."
Han Jueyong nodded, turned around and left immediately.
Bian Tai, the chief minister of the left, couldn't help but said, "Han Qianhu, you... are you leaving now?"
Han Jueyong thought for a while, and then reminded: "Don't worry, with Chuzhen Demon Envoy here, no monsters and goblins will cause trouble. I still have business to do, so let's go first."
Several officials were shocked immediately: "The town demon envoy surnamed Chu... so young... Could this person be Chu Qiguang?" '
As more and more people's eyes focused on Chu Qiguang, he felt a wave of evil fire bursting out of his heart.
On the other side... Thinking of the other party's identity, several officials who were persuading Li Qingyun just now immediately fell silent, as if they had fallen into a trance.
Only Bian Tai, the Zuo Buzheng envoy, had received too much money from the Mao family, so he stepped forward and said: "But Chu Zhenshi? The Mao family is a well-known local family. I think there must be a misunderstanding..."
Chu Qiguang looked at the other party coldly, suppressing his heart disease, the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "Get out."
Bian Tai's face froze. He is the Zuo Buzheng, in charge of the government orders of a state, and he is also a big official in the frontier. He did not expect the other party to be so disrespectful.
Chu Qiguang turned his head, looked at Bian Tai who was still frozen there, and said coldly: "You want to stay, let me check with you?"
A trace of anger flashed in Bian Tai's eyes, he glared at Chu Qiguang, and said forcefully, "The officer suddenly remembered that he still had some business to deal with, so he left first."
Seeing Bian Tai, the one with the highest official position and the most money collected, leave in such a disheveled manner, the other officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and were even more relieved to speak for the Mao family.
Even the magistrate of Qingchi County had a bit of a mentality of watching a good show.
He is relatively young and healthy, so he fell into the beauty trap of the Mao family not long after he took office, and was pinched by the local gentry for two years. The county magistrate felt extremely aggrieved.
Chu Qiguang looked in the direction of the thousands of tenants again, and the evil light in his eyes became more and more intense.
As soon as he opened his mouth to drink, waves of sound swept away, like thunderclaps on the ground.
"Not going away quickly."
Accompanied by the effect of the 'Buddha's Throat Zen Sound', Chu Qiguang's voice spread in all directions, with a strong deterrent, and aroused waves of voices to respond.
"Quickly go away."
"Hurry up and go"
"go with!"
The tenant in front of him showed hesitation on his face, and someone had already run away in shock.
But a big man shouted: "Everyone, don't be afraid! This official dare not do anything to us!"
"They want to grab our land! Can't retreat!"
Some warriors hiding in the crowd encouraged the people.
They were too far away to hear the conversation between Chu Qiguang and several officials, and thought that everything was still as planned.
Chu Qiguang snorted coldly, and glanced at a rogue-eyed warrior in a crowd.
His figure flickered, and he rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye, pinching the back of his neck and lifting him up.
"The government forces the people to rebel! Fight them!"
"The official murdered!"
Seeing Chu Qiguang's actions, several other warriors in the crowd shouted.
There was also a five-level martial artist who had been hiding in the crowd shouted angrily, and his blood burst out suddenly, and he rushed towards Chu Qiguang with a billowing heat wave.
This five-level martial artist is the elder of the Mao family. Although he has cultivated to the fifth level, he has never participated in martial arts, just because the sky is high in Shuzhou and the emperor is far away. The officer is much more comfortable.
Chu Qiguang glanced at the five-realm old man who was rushing towards him, and punched through the air, and saw the strong Gang Qi rushing towards his face.
boom!
The five-level martial artist roared and blocked the gang qi, but his whole body exploded in the blink of an eye, turning into flesh and blood scattered all over the sky amidst the screams.
He was directly punched by Chu Qiguang.
The villagers who saw this scene immediately screamed in fright and ran away like chickens.
The warriors of the Mao family also exclaimed: "Grandfather!"
Chu Qiguang flicked his ten fingers lightly, and under the blessing of the 'Wanxiang Gangliu', his Gangqi became more agile and miraculous.
With a flick of the fingertips, Dao Dao Gang Qi flew out like a shooting star, beating a screaming Mao family warrior until he passed out.
Li Qingyun at the side immediately waved his hand when he saw this, and rushed towards the Mao family's manor with his soldiers.
Looking at the huge gate of the manor and the five or six-storey small building in the distance, he couldn't help cursing: "The manor that Eunuch Chen Zhong built outside the capital was not as big as before. Small local gentry are really cowardly."
……
Following Li Qingyun's command, his soldiers rushed into the Mao's Manor, arresting anyone they saw.
Chu Qiguang stood beside him and sat down.
The head of the Mao family, Mao Ying, walked out quickly and came to Li Qingyun and Chu Qiguang.
He had obviously received the news, and he cupped his hands and bowed to Chu Qiguang, and said respectfully: "Chu Town Envoy, this time I have offended you, the great god, because I have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai."
"I'm willing to pay 2 taels of silver, and I just ask you to hold your hand high."
Chu Qiguang laughed: "2 taels?"
Sensing the other party's staring gaze, Mao Ying gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and said, "5 taels! This is all the money in our Mao family."
Chu Qiguang said lightly: "I copied the Mao family, and I can get the 5 taels."
Mao Ying was shocked and said angrily: "Chu town envoy must be killed?"
Chu Qiguang flicked his fingers and let out a burst of anger, only to hear him say slowly: "Everyone in the Mao family, don't try to escape today."
Behind Mao Ying, a young man shouted angrily: "Dog officer! You're spouting blood! I'm going to the capital to sue..."
Mao Ying's eyes widened, regretting in his heart that he was still too loose in controlling his children, and he stretched out his hand to stop this impulsive dude.
But seeing Chu Qiguang glanced at the other party, there seemed to be an afterimage flashing in front of his eyes, and a cloud of blood burst out from the boy's body, and he flew out like a cloud.
Chu Qiguang touched his chin, and there seemed to be a cold light in his eyes: "Anyone else want to say anything?"
Mao Ying and several other members of the Mao family fell to their knees with a plop, and kowtowed their heads incessantly: "Mr. Chu! How can you let my Mao family survive?"
Chu Qiguang said nonchalantly: "When you kill pigs, do you know what the pigs are called?"
Mao Ying looked at Chu Qiguang bitterly, and at the same time couldn't help looking at the gate behind him, but he didn't wait for an official to intercede for him.
He didn't know that, he was given up by the officials of Shuzhou.
Those officials tested the governor's purpose and hole card through the Mao family, only to find that the hole card turned out to be Chu Qiguang, which directly frightened everyone.
That night, box after box of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin were shipped out from Maojiazhuang.
The men, women and children of the Mao family were all arrested in Shuzhou Prison, waiting for trial by the government.
Some relatives and friends of the Mao family still want to run back and forth, trying to find a way.
However, it was discovered that the officials of the Sansi Yamen, the Yushi, and the magistrate in Shuzhou were either sick, or they left temporarily, or they couldn't find anyone, and none of them dared to stand up for the Mao family.
Next, Li Qingyun took the matter of the monster as a breakthrough point and personally interrogated the members of the Mao family.
In the blink of an eye, one appalling, cruel and vicious case after another was revealed.
The Mao family has been the local emperor of the Jinrong Mansion for hundreds of years, and the government can't control it.
The acts of disregarding human life, bullying men and women, and all kinds of robbery are simply too numerous to record, and Li Qingyun's eyes were tearing apart during the trial.
According to what he said afterwards, if all the members of the Mao family were killed, they might be wronged.But if one kills one at a time, there must be fish that slip through the net.
Under severe torture, the Mao family confessed many things about other local clans.
Li Qingyun simply posted a notice and opened a hall to accept the complaints from all the people in the government.
Seeing that the members of the Mao family were arrested, it was as if the wall was overturned and pushed by everyone. More and more people came to Li Qingyun's side to complain.
However, not everyone among the common people is a good person. At the beginning, there were real evidences, and then there were more and more false accusations, which made Li Qingyun have to punish those unruly people.
A few days later, the Song family and the Xiong family, the other two families in Jinrong Mansion, were also captured by Li Qingyun and Chu Qiguang, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were confiscated from their cellars in one go.
In addition to all kinds of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and the things confiscated from the Mao family, the total value has exceeded one million taels of silver.
Li Qingyun immediately arranged a team to transport the confiscated silver to the capital.
The various properties and fields of the Mao, Song, and Xiong families were returned to the bitter owners by Li Qingyun, and those who could not be found were sold off on the spot by Li Qingyun, intending to collect money and send them back to the capital.
However, there are not many locals that can swallow so many real estate and fields.
Now that Li Qingyun can't sell it, and it's useless to him, he just wants to quickly sell it at a discount, and suddenly feels a little worried.
……
Among the mountains, Qiao Zhi looked at the soldiers and horses in the distance, and said, "This is the army, come on!"
In the blink of an eye, all over the mountains and plains, monsters rushed down and plundered the silver delivery team.
Not long after, news came that the team escorting the silver had been robbed.
Li Qingyun was shocked and angry when he heard this, and felt that Shuzhou was really lawless.
Chu Qiguang on the side had a murderous look on his face, and said in a cold voice: "How does this monster know the route for the team to escort Baiyin?"
"They can roar in the mountains and forests, so they must have connections with the local gentry and aboriginals. I'll send people from the Zhenma Division to find out who is colluding with the demons."
Li Qingyun nodded, and then said frowningly: "I have to get the money back quickly, I have already reported to the imperial court to search the house, if I can't get the money..."
Although Li Qingyun is a reformist, he also deeply knows his majesty's disposition. If the agreed money is gone, he will definitely lose points in the other party's heart and be blamed.
Chu Qiguang waved his hand and said: "I run a chamber of commerce in Shuzhou, and I have left some money, so I might as well eat up the property of these three companies. Mr. Li, you should take the money to put it on top first."
"As for those monsters who stole it, I'll go and track it down, and I'll definitely find it out for you."
Li Qingyun was secretly dissatisfied with Chu Qiguang's operation of the Chamber of Commerce for personal gain.
But at this moment, he couldn't control these things, and asked quickly: "Master Chu, how much money can you give?"
Chu Qiguang thought for a while and said: "20 taels, I don't have much money in my hand, so I can afford it."
Li Qingyun frowned and said, "20 taels? Master Chu...can you take out a little more?"
A few days later, the Bashu Chamber of Commerce swallowed hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in Jinrong Mansion, as well as countless shops and real estate.
The chamber of commerce began to train the local farmers to cultivate the land, just like the set of procedures in Lingzhou, firstly the Tianyao foundation method, then learning new farming techniques, composting techniques, and then renting land for farming...
A similar process has been improved many times in Lingzhou, and now it is brought to Shuzhou by the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, and it works after a little improvement.
The deeds of Chu Qiguang and Li Qingyun also caused countless waves in Shuzhou.
(End of this chapter)
In the darkness, a beast shadow suddenly jumped into the yard, with a low growl sound from its mouth, and the stench came out, and spread in all directions.
In the yamen, the pacesetters under the governor heard the movement and immediately gathered in the direction where the beast's roar erupted.

A beast and a man slammed into each other violently, a burst of fiery air burst out, and the blue bricks under the feet of both sides shattered inch by inch.
Ning Yu's face turned pale, and she became surprised in her heart: "This monster's brute force is stronger than a five-level master trained horizontally, and its fangs and claws are comparable to magic weapons... How could such a monster appear in the city?" A beast? '
Roar!
The two sides fought fiercely, and Ning Yu didn't check, and the beast's claws had brought a gust of wind, and slammed into her chest.
Seeing the claws approaching her chest inch by inch, the sharp air currents scraped her cheeks with pain.
At this moment, a palm appeared between the two as if traveling through space.
That palm seemed to carry a strange magic power, making everyone on the scene couldn't help but focus on it.

Dao Dao Gang Qi screamed and dispersed like a whirlpool.
Under the rotation of the stellar energy, the beast began to spiral from its claws.
It looked as if a pair of invisible big hands grabbed the beast, and then twisted it hard like twisting a towel.
Amidst the crackling sound, the beast was squeezed into a ball of twists from the claws to the chest cavity to the stem and hind paws in a blink of an eye, and burst into a rain of blood.
Chu Qiguang swept out lightly with his palm, and under the sweeping aura, he gathered the bursting rain of blood into a ball, turning into a blood cell and appearing in his palm.
Then a burst of high temperature came, and the bloody water turned into a mist and floated into the sky, disappearing.
The pacesetters around stared wide-eyed, watching this scene in shock.
From the beginning to the end, it took such a block, a shock, and a roll of effort, without even a single breath, the monster that was still fierce just now turned into a broken corpse on the ground.

And such a ferocious beast was crushed to death like a small fish.
Chu Qiguang clapped his hands, and said casually: "Find someone to put it away, and the rest of the people should do whatever they want, don't get together here."
Everyone was deeply intimidated by Chu Qiguang's hand, and they subconsciously followed what he said.
After Chu Qiguang turned around and walked towards the study, Ning Yu quickly followed in to check Li Qingyun's condition.
I saw the governor sitting at the desk dealing with official documents, his expression was normal when he was using his pen, as if he was not worried about things outside at all.
Obviously, with Chu Qiguang in charge, he was very relieved and didn't worry about his safety at all.
Chu Qiguang read softly: "Xuanyuan Wuji, listen to my orders!"
The talisman 'God General' in his body was activated suddenly, and five gleaming golden Dharma protectors were summoned to stand beside Li Qingyun.
"Then they will stay here. I will go out for a walk and be back in a while."
Seeing Chu Qiguang stepping out and disappearing into the study, he became more and more mysterious in Ning Yu's eyes.
She asked in surprise: "Zhongcheng, what is the background of this person? Could it be that he is a master of Dragon Snake Mountain who can summon the guardian gods?"
Li Qingyun didn't give this answer, but said while looking at the official document: "Anyway, in Shuzhou, there is no safer place than around him."
"You don't have to worry about my safety. Next, we need to find out who did it..."
……
On a street a hundred meters away from the governor's yamen, several big men in hard attire were pushing a carriage, looking in the direction of the yamen from time to time.
"Why is there no movement?"
"Could it be that the beast that was put in was subdued?"
"Could it be that the governor is surrounded by masters?"
At this moment, a voice came faintly from the darkness behind them.
"I heard that there are Mao, Song, and Xiong families in Jinrong Mansion. Which family do you belong to?"

Then Chu Qiguang slapped out casually, and Gangfeng threw several big men to the ground.
"Let's have a trial and see which family these people belong to. They should be the ones who did it this time."
Before dawn the next day, several big men were dragged in front of them covered in blood.
The soldier in charge of the interrogation said: "They are all martial artists invited by the Mao family. The Mao family drugged the monster in advance and let them wake it up after sending it."
"What a Mao family, dare to attack the governor of a state. It is really greedy and reckless."
A cold light flashed in Li Qingyun's eyes, and he was about to call up his soldiers and go to Mao's house to get someone.
A staff member on the side persuaded: "Zhongcheng!

If you move his family, you may stab a hornet's nest. "
Li Qingyun sneered when he heard the words, but his eyes, who were obviously not very good at martial arts, burst into a fierce light that shocked everyone present.
"The root is intertwined? This is the intertwined root! Shout out all the soldiers and follow me to catch the thief."
The governor has direct subordinates, several staff members laughed wryly when they heard the words, feeling that Li Qingyun was still impulsive.
……
Inside the Mao Family Manor.
A young man ran into the backyard nervously: "Father! It's not good, the newly appointed governor came here with troops."
An old man sneered when he heard the words: "Well done, after letting him return home this time, I see what face he has to clear Tian."
"I don't even look at where Shuzhou is, let him be a governor or Jinshi, and I have to lie down here when I come here."
"This field was saved by my Mao family through generations of hard work, how could it be defeated by me?"
This old man is the current head of the Mao family, Mao Ying. For him, Li Qingyun's figuring out Tian is to cut his flesh and bleed him, and he will never give in.
……
On the other side, Chu Qiguang and Li Qingyun rushed to the manor belonging to the Mao family outside the city with their soldiers.
Walking along the way, you can see the fields outside the manor, and countless tenants are working.
The Mao family has developed in Jinrong Mansion for many years, and the annexation of land is a basic operation, and most of the nearby farmland has already been occupied.
The local people either did or stayed as tenants, or fled and became refugees.
Li Qingyun sighed from the side: "The Mao family only occupies more than 30 mu of land in Jinrong Mansion, but the land that is handed over to the land tax every year is less than [-] mu, and the shops and real estate owned by them are countless..."
Chu Qiguang laughed: "The copy must be from this kind of wealthy family."
While talking, he saw thousands of villagers in front of them carrying hoes and sickles, blocking their team together.
The people standing in the front row are all old and weak women and children.
Apparently, someone on Li Qingyun's side leaked the news long ago, and then someone organized people to block him.
Li Qingyun sighed when he saw the peasants standing in the way silently, neither speaking nor doing anything.
In fact, most of these are tenants of the Mao family. It stands to reason that their ancestors were all taken over by the Mao family by trickery, and the two sides should be enemies.
But now Chu Qiguang and Li Qingyun brought people to deal with the Mao family, but these tenants were instigated by the Mao family to stop them.
Just because the Mao family is still there, they can still work as tenants for a living.
If the Mao family collapsed, they would have nowhere to go, and they were worried about being taxed heavier by the court than in the past.
In the eyes of these tenants, the imperial court is more vicious than the Mao family, and taxes are more terrifying than land rent.
Ever since Li Qingyun began to preside over Qingtian, the local people have been uncooperative, because the gentry and rightists spread rumors that the imperial court measured the land to increase taxes.
The common people were convinced of this, just because the imperial court was like this in their eyes, and it was useless for Li Qingyun to explain in every possible way.
It was the same now, Li Qingyun yelled a few words, but the tenants in front of him remained motionless.
At this moment, Bian Tai, the Zuo Buzheng of Shuzhou, ran over and persuaded him: "Li Zhongcheng! The Mao family is a kind family in Shuzhou. It is famous for donating money to build bridges and pave roads every year, and to support poor families." Please do good deeds."
"It is absolutely impossible for the Mao family to attack the court officials. There must be villains among them. Li Zhongcheng must not be fooled."
Li Qingyun sneered: "Occupy farmland, evade taxes, attack the governor of a state... and then spend some money every year to build bridges and pave roads, and invest in poor families. Is this a kind home that is willing to do good?"
But Zuo Buzheng Bian Tai was only the first one, and then Shuzhou Press Inspector, Jinrong Prefecture Prefect, Fuxue Jiaoyu, Qingchi County Magistrate... all rushed over.
Even Han Jueyong, the deputy of Zhenma Division Qianhu, ran over, but when he saw Chu Qiguang standing beside Li Qingyun, he paused: "Why is this here?" '
Wang Xuan, the magistrate of Jinrong Mansion, was still there persuading: "Li Zhongcheng! If there is something to be discussed in the long run, it must not provoke a civil uprising."
Originally, once this kind of "civil uprising" came out, and with the cooperation of so many officials, foreign officials, even the governor, had only two choices, either to join forces or be forced to leave.
But Li Qingyun's complexion became more and more serious, and he didn't speak for a long time, but looked at Chu Qiguang who was on the side.
Chu Qi saw almost the same people and coughed.
He cast a glance at Han Jueyong, who was looking at his nose and heart with his eyes straight in the distance, and said, "Han Jueyong, what are you doing here?"
Han Jueyong was still a little unclear about Chu Qiguang's attitude, so he just said vaguely: "Master Chu, I heard that there are people gathering here to make trouble, and I came here to take a look because I was worried that it was a monster."
Seeing that the usually fierce and mighty Deputy Qianhu of the Zhenma Division was so humble in front of the other party.
All the other officials present looked at Chu Qiguang with surprise, and some of them had thoughtful eyes.
Chu Qiguang said lightly: "There is nothing to see, let's go back."
Han Jueyong nodded, turned around and left immediately.
Bian Tai, the chief minister of the left, couldn't help but said, "Han Qianhu, you... are you leaving now?"
Han Jueyong thought for a while, and then reminded: "Don't worry, with Chuzhen Demon Envoy here, no monsters and goblins will cause trouble. I still have business to do, so let's go first."
Several officials were shocked immediately: "The town demon envoy surnamed Chu... so young... Could this person be Chu Qiguang?" '
As more and more people's eyes focused on Chu Qiguang, he felt a wave of evil fire bursting out of his heart.
On the other side... Thinking of the other party's identity, several officials who were persuading Li Qingyun just now immediately fell silent, as if they had fallen into a trance.
Only Bian Tai, the Zuo Buzheng envoy, had received too much money from the Mao family, so he stepped forward and said: "But Chu Zhenshi? The Mao family is a well-known local family. I think there must be a misunderstanding..."
Chu Qiguang looked at the other party coldly, suppressing his heart disease, the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "Get out."
Bian Tai's face froze. He is the Zuo Buzheng, in charge of the government orders of a state, and he is also a big official in the frontier. He did not expect the other party to be so disrespectful.
Chu Qiguang turned his head, looked at Bian Tai who was still frozen there, and said coldly: "You want to stay, let me check with you?"
A trace of anger flashed in Bian Tai's eyes, he glared at Chu Qiguang, and said forcefully, "The officer suddenly remembered that he still had some business to deal with, so he left first."
Seeing Bian Tai, the one with the highest official position and the most money collected, leave in such a disheveled manner, the other officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and were even more relieved to speak for the Mao family.
Even the magistrate of Qingchi County had a bit of a mentality of watching a good show.
He is relatively young and healthy, so he fell into the beauty trap of the Mao family not long after he took office, and was pinched by the local gentry for two years. The county magistrate felt extremely aggrieved.
Chu Qiguang looked in the direction of the thousands of tenants again, and the evil light in his eyes became more and more intense.
As soon as he opened his mouth to drink, waves of sound swept away, like thunderclaps on the ground.
"Not going away quickly."
Accompanied by the effect of the 'Buddha's Throat Zen Sound', Chu Qiguang's voice spread in all directions, with a strong deterrent, and aroused waves of voices to respond.
"Quickly go away."
"Hurry up and go"
"go with!"
The tenant in front of him showed hesitation on his face, and someone had already run away in shock.
But a big man shouted: "Everyone, don't be afraid! This official dare not do anything to us!"
"They want to grab our land! Can't retreat!"
Some warriors hiding in the crowd encouraged the people.
They were too far away to hear the conversation between Chu Qiguang and several officials, and thought that everything was still as planned.
Chu Qiguang snorted coldly, and glanced at a rogue-eyed warrior in a crowd.
His figure flickered, and he rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye, pinching the back of his neck and lifting him up.
"The government forces the people to rebel! Fight them!"
"The official murdered!"
Seeing Chu Qiguang's actions, several other warriors in the crowd shouted.
There was also a five-level martial artist who had been hiding in the crowd shouted angrily, and his blood burst out suddenly, and he rushed towards Chu Qiguang with a billowing heat wave.
This five-level martial artist is the elder of the Mao family. Although he has cultivated to the fifth level, he has never participated in martial arts, just because the sky is high in Shuzhou and the emperor is far away. The officer is much more comfortable.
Chu Qiguang glanced at the five-realm old man who was rushing towards him, and punched through the air, and saw the strong Gang Qi rushing towards his face.
boom!
The five-level martial artist roared and blocked the gang qi, but his whole body exploded in the blink of an eye, turning into flesh and blood scattered all over the sky amidst the screams.
He was directly punched by Chu Qiguang.
The villagers who saw this scene immediately screamed in fright and ran away like chickens.
The warriors of the Mao family also exclaimed: "Grandfather!"
Chu Qiguang flicked his ten fingers lightly, and under the blessing of the 'Wanxiang Gangliu', his Gangqi became more agile and miraculous.
With a flick of the fingertips, Dao Dao Gang Qi flew out like a shooting star, beating a screaming Mao family warrior until he passed out.
Li Qingyun at the side immediately waved his hand when he saw this, and rushed towards the Mao family's manor with his soldiers.
Looking at the huge gate of the manor and the five or six-storey small building in the distance, he couldn't help cursing: "The manor that Eunuch Chen Zhong built outside the capital was not as big as before. Small local gentry are really cowardly."
……
Following Li Qingyun's command, his soldiers rushed into the Mao's Manor, arresting anyone they saw.
Chu Qiguang stood beside him and sat down.
The head of the Mao family, Mao Ying, walked out quickly and came to Li Qingyun and Chu Qiguang.
He had obviously received the news, and he cupped his hands and bowed to Chu Qiguang, and said respectfully: "Chu Town Envoy, this time I have offended you, the great god, because I have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai."
"I'm willing to pay 2 taels of silver, and I just ask you to hold your hand high."
Chu Qiguang laughed: "2 taels?"
Sensing the other party's staring gaze, Mao Ying gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and said, "5 taels! This is all the money in our Mao family."
Chu Qiguang said lightly: "I copied the Mao family, and I can get the 5 taels."
Mao Ying was shocked and said angrily: "Chu town envoy must be killed?"
Chu Qiguang flicked his fingers and let out a burst of anger, only to hear him say slowly: "Everyone in the Mao family, don't try to escape today."
Behind Mao Ying, a young man shouted angrily: "Dog officer! You're spouting blood! I'm going to the capital to sue..."
Mao Ying's eyes widened, regretting in his heart that he was still too loose in controlling his children, and he stretched out his hand to stop this impulsive dude.
But seeing Chu Qiguang glanced at the other party, there seemed to be an afterimage flashing in front of his eyes, and a cloud of blood burst out from the boy's body, and he flew out like a cloud.
Chu Qiguang touched his chin, and there seemed to be a cold light in his eyes: "Anyone else want to say anything?"
Mao Ying and several other members of the Mao family fell to their knees with a plop, and kowtowed their heads incessantly: "Mr. Chu! How can you let my Mao family survive?"
Chu Qiguang said nonchalantly: "When you kill pigs, do you know what the pigs are called?"
Mao Ying looked at Chu Qiguang bitterly, and at the same time couldn't help looking at the gate behind him, but he didn't wait for an official to intercede for him.
He didn't know that, he was given up by the officials of Shuzhou.
Those officials tested the governor's purpose and hole card through the Mao family, only to find that the hole card turned out to be Chu Qiguang, which directly frightened everyone.
That night, box after box of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin were shipped out from Maojiazhuang.
The men, women and children of the Mao family were all arrested in Shuzhou Prison, waiting for trial by the government.
Some relatives and friends of the Mao family still want to run back and forth, trying to find a way.
However, it was discovered that the officials of the Sansi Yamen, the Yushi, and the magistrate in Shuzhou were either sick, or they left temporarily, or they couldn't find anyone, and none of them dared to stand up for the Mao family.
Next, Li Qingyun took the matter of the monster as a breakthrough point and personally interrogated the members of the Mao family.
In the blink of an eye, one appalling, cruel and vicious case after another was revealed.
The Mao family has been the local emperor of the Jinrong Mansion for hundreds of years, and the government can't control it.
The acts of disregarding human life, bullying men and women, and all kinds of robbery are simply too numerous to record, and Li Qingyun's eyes were tearing apart during the trial.
According to what he said afterwards, if all the members of the Mao family were killed, they might be wronged.But if one kills one at a time, there must be fish that slip through the net.
Under severe torture, the Mao family confessed many things about other local clans.
Li Qingyun simply posted a notice and opened a hall to accept the complaints from all the people in the government.
Seeing that the members of the Mao family were arrested, it was as if the wall was overturned and pushed by everyone. More and more people came to Li Qingyun's side to complain.
However, not everyone among the common people is a good person. At the beginning, there were real evidences, and then there were more and more false accusations, which made Li Qingyun have to punish those unruly people.
A few days later, the Song family and the Xiong family, the other two families in Jinrong Mansion, were also captured by Li Qingyun and Chu Qiguang, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were confiscated from their cellars in one go.
In addition to all kinds of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and the things confiscated from the Mao family, the total value has exceeded one million taels of silver.
Li Qingyun immediately arranged a team to transport the confiscated silver to the capital.
The various properties and fields of the Mao, Song, and Xiong families were returned to the bitter owners by Li Qingyun, and those who could not be found were sold off on the spot by Li Qingyun, intending to collect money and send them back to the capital.
However, there are not many locals that can swallow so many real estate and fields.
Now that Li Qingyun can't sell it, and it's useless to him, he just wants to quickly sell it at a discount, and suddenly feels a little worried.
……
Among the mountains, Qiao Zhi looked at the soldiers and horses in the distance, and said, "This is the army, come on!"
In the blink of an eye, all over the mountains and plains, monsters rushed down and plundered the silver delivery team.
Not long after, news came that the team escorting the silver had been robbed.
Li Qingyun was shocked and angry when he heard this, and felt that Shuzhou was really lawless.
Chu Qiguang on the side had a murderous look on his face, and said in a cold voice: "How does this monster know the route for the team to escort Baiyin?"
"They can roar in the mountains and forests, so they must have connections with the local gentry and aboriginals. I'll send people from the Zhenma Division to find out who is colluding with the demons."
Li Qingyun nodded, and then said frowningly: "I have to get the money back quickly, I have already reported to the imperial court to search the house, if I can't get the money..."
Although Li Qingyun is a reformist, he also deeply knows his majesty's disposition. If the agreed money is gone, he will definitely lose points in the other party's heart and be blamed.
Chu Qiguang waved his hand and said: "I run a chamber of commerce in Shuzhou, and I have left some money, so I might as well eat up the property of these three companies. Mr. Li, you should take the money to put it on top first."
"As for those monsters who stole it, I'll go and track it down, and I'll definitely find it out for you."
Li Qingyun was secretly dissatisfied with Chu Qiguang's operation of the Chamber of Commerce for personal gain.
But at this moment, he couldn't control these things, and asked quickly: "Master Chu, how much money can you give?"
Chu Qiguang thought for a while and said: "20 taels, I don't have much money in my hand, so I can afford it."
Li Qingyun frowned and said, "20 taels? Master Chu...can you take out a little more?"
A few days later, the Bashu Chamber of Commerce swallowed hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in Jinrong Mansion, as well as countless shops and real estate.
The chamber of commerce began to train the local farmers to cultivate the land, just like the set of procedures in Lingzhou, firstly the Tianyao foundation method, then learning new farming techniques, composting techniques, and then renting land for farming...
A similar process has been improved many times in Lingzhou, and now it is brought to Shuzhou by the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, and it works after a little improvement.
The deeds of Chu Qiguang and Li Qingyun also caused countless waves in Shuzhou.
