I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 216 Wei Changtian's version of "referring to a deer as a horse"

For the tens of millions of ordinary people in Daning, although this "Spring Dragon Rebellion" had a harbinger, it came unexpectedly.

But for all the forces that caused this storm, everything at the beginning of the chaos was going according to their respective scripts.

Whether it is the royal family, or the Liu, Wei, and Xu families, they all believe that everything is under their control, and they will definitely be the winner who has the last laugh.

However, the "win-win" situation will certainly not appear.

As for who will be the real "winner", mortals standing on this side of the wheel of fortune cannot predict in advance.

Just like half a year ago, no one could have predicted that the only son of the Wei family who came from the capital and had just committed the crime of "murdering" would suddenly become the real ruler of Shuzhou half a year later.

On February [-], Shuzhou Prefecture Yamen.

When the new governor of Shuzhou "accidentally" died at home less than a month after taking office, Wei Changtian was holding a meeting with the remaining important officials in the state government.

In half a month, more than a dozen Liu faction forces either fled, surrendered, or wiped out the whole family. It is not that Wei Changtian is so shocking to be able to clear the foundation of the Liu family in Shuzhou so vigorously. leadership.

The main reason is that he has taken advantage of the right time, location, and people.

Xuanjing Division, Freemasons, Qingpao Army, Tianluo Sect, and even the Yaozu in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

From the military to the government to the green forest, all the large-scale "armed organizations" in the territory of Shuzhou are all their own people. If they can't quickly gather power, then it is a bit wasteful.

"."

"Everyone, the world is in chaos today, and it is impossible to be alone."

In the study, Wei Changtian's "United Front Speech" has entered the final stage.

All the people present here are centrists, or officials loyal to the imperial court. They cannot be killed for the time being, so they can only be won over first.

"I reiterate again that my Wei family has absolutely no intention of treason, and everything I do now is only for the tens of millions of people in Shuzhou."

"I also hope that all the adults will help the boy to find a pure land for the common people!"

"."

Threats and lures, Xiaozhi's affection and righteousness, Wei Changtian's mouth was dry, and he finally finished what he wanted to say.

After all, if the society wants to continue to function, it still depends on these officials. It is impossible to kill all those who do not cooperate.

It's cool, but at that time, the whole Shuzhou will be completely messed up.

"Young Master Wei, if it is for the common people, I am willing to obey your orders!"

Among the officials, "Tuo" who had been arranged in advance was the first to take the lead in making a statement.

And after his motivating, several people really nodded their heads, expressing that they would stand by the Wei family.

The others exchanged glances with each other, obviously not wanting to talk to death, probably wanting to wait and see the situation before talking.

"Hehe, where are these adults?"

However, Wei Changtian didn't give them too many opportunities to think, and asked directly: "If you have any thoughts, just say it."

"Cough, Mr. Wei"

A white-haired old man coughed dryly, and slowly said: "Since we have already talked about this, this old man will simply speak up."

This old man's name is Chen Zhong, and he is an official of Shuzhou Prefecture. His official rank is not high, but he can be regarded as an indispensable real job.

Wei Changtian nodded: "Master Chen, but it's okay to say."

"Ah."

Chen Zhong arched his hands towards Wei Changtian, and carefully said his words: "Young master Wei, we are just a small official, and we have no intention or ability to participate in this dispute between Liu and Wei."

"If you really do it for the people of Shuzhou, we will do our best."

"But if you insist on me standing on the side of the Wei family and pardoning the old man's offense, if the Liu family gains power in the future, then why don't I wait?"

"."

Chen Zhong didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was very clear.

We don't know who will win in the future, so we don't want to stand in line, lest we make a wrong bet and end up decapitated in the future!
To be honest, this idea is not wrong.

After all, although they do not stand for the Wei family, they also do not stand for the Liu family or the Ning family, so it is not a big hidden danger.

But what Wei Changtian wanted was a monolithic Shuzhou, so they had to stand in line publicly.

As long as you express your position on such an occasion, it will be impossible to get off the "thief ship" in the future.

"Master Chen, I understand what you mean."

Wei Changtian remained calm on the surface, but his left hand hidden under the table aroused a trace of internal energy, burning a piece of mother-of-pearl jade at his waist.

"Surviving in the cracks, it's nothing to change the way of being an official for ordinary times."

"However, the whole of Daning is in chaos right now. If you don't choose a backer at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive no matter where you go."

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door just right, and Wei Changtian glanced at Chen Zhong, who was frowning, and shouted loudly:
"Come in!"

"Son."

Zhang San pushed the door open and entered in a second, carrying a big wooden box in his hand.

Wei Changtian knowingly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang San respectfully placed the wooden box on the table: "My lord, please take a look at this thing."

"Oh? What is this?"

"Dog head."

"Um"

Wei Changtian gently opened the box, and immediately there was a pungent smell of blood dispersing.

Chen Zhong and the others subconsciously raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, but Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged. After glancing at the contents of the box, he suddenly smiled and said:

"This bloody and bloody thing, how can you tell it's a dog's head?"

"Master Chen, you have seen a lot, why don't you help me identify it?"

"what?"

Chen Zhong felt bad, but before he could refuse, Zhang San came directly to him with the open wooden box.

"This, this is!"

"what!!"

"Pfft!"

With a scream, Chen Zhong slipped directly from the chair and fell to the ground.

His eyes were wide open, and he kept crawling backwards with his hands and feet, as if he wanted to stay away from the wooden box.

Where is the dog's head!It's just a bloody human head!
And he was the head of the previous state shepherd!

Chen Zhongyi, a civil servant, has never seen such a bloody scene before, and he has performed well if he doesn't get scared right now.

On the other side, Wei Changtian ignored everyone who also looked terrified, and calmly ordered: "Zhang San, help Mr. Chen up."

"Yes, son!"

Zhang San immediately stepped forward, and regardless of how Chen Zhong struggled, he directly lifted the latter from the ground.

"Master Chen, you have also seen this end."

Wei Changtian looked at Chen Zhong with a smile, and asked softly, "Then tell me, is this the head of a dog?"

"This this"

Chen Zhong trembled and said not a word, looking as embarrassed as he could be.

Wei Changtian didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Chen didn't see it clearly."

"Zhang San, show it to Mr. Chen for a good look!"

"Ah! No, no need! I, I see clearly!"

A scream sounded out.

"It's the head of a dog!"

"The box, the box is indeed a dog's head!!"
