Chapter 259

The woman in black waved her hands forward, and a large number of iron needles shot out like rain.

Yang Jiu grabbed Gao Tianhai's body and stood in front of him.

The iron needles all shot into Gao Tianhai's body.

"Despicable." The woman in black was trembling with anger.

Yang Jiu smiled and said: "Gao Tianhai will be humiliated by you after death, you are really loyal to Gao Tianhai."

"You..." The woman in black was so angry that she flew towards Yang Jiu, drew a soft sword from her waist as she approached, and stabbed at Gan Sisi.

She knew that Gan Sisi's martial arts were weaker than Yang Jiu's, so as long as she could catch Gan Sisi quickly, she could threaten Yang Jiu to give up resistance.

Clang.

Unexpectedly, Gan Sisi's long sword was out of its sheath, and at the same time as she swung the soft sword, the light of the sword brushed over the shoulder of the woman in black.

The clothes were ripped open, and on the exposed snow-white skin, blood was gurgling from the cut made by the Peach Blossom Sword.

boom.

The woman in black was still in astonishment, and received another slap from Yang Jiu on her left shoulder.

Suddenly, her body was like a thrown stone, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and landed with a bang, vomiting blood continuously.

Yang Jiu teased, "Your martial arts are far worse than Gao Tianhai's."

But the woman in black struggled to stand up and charged again.

Gan Sisi flickered, brushing past the woman in black.

The woman in black who was running forward quickly fell to the ground, with blood pouring from her throat, she died instantly.

The fighting outside became more and more intense.

Yang Jiu dragged Gao Tianhai's body out, and shouted: "Gao Tianhai has already subdued the law, so don't be too stubborn. Turn around now, and the court will forget the past."

The soldiers and guards were stunned when they saw Gao Tianhai's head was split open.

After a little thought, he put down his weapon.

Those masked men in black glanced at each other, jumped onto the roof one after another, and disappeared in an instant.

"Who are they?" Gan Sisi asked suspiciously.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "It should be the one who came to kill us."

On the contrary, Gan Sisi became more and more confused, since he was a person from the world who came to kill them, how could he help them in the end?

Yang Jiu didn't know the details, but he could roughly guess what was going on, which made him look at Shi Lingling with new admiration.

Obviously Shi Lingling and Shi Xiongxiong are not in the same way.

Perhaps Shi Xiongxiong also had a chivalrous heart before, but everything has changed since he embarked on an official career.

Yang Jiu immediately ordered people to hang the corpses of Gao Tianhai and the woman in black outside the government office, so that the common people would know that Gao Tianhai had been punished.

The people were shocked when they saw it, and they didn't show much joy.

Gao Tianhai and his son were killed one after another, which made the people feel uneasy.

After dinner, Yang Jiu came to the empty room.

Gao Tianhai's body was lying on a huge table.

After cleaning up the iron needles on Gao Tianhai's body, Yang Jiu just burned incense and sewed up the corpse.

The split head is actually very easy to sew, and it didn't take much time to sew it up.

"Book of Life and Death" now.

Gao Tianhai was intelligent since he was a child, and his family was well-off, so his father specially invited a learned gentleman to teach at home.

Gao Tianhai also lived up to everyone's expectations and was full of talent. In that year, he won the Jinshi.

Although the ranking is low, as long as you can make it, you can enter the official career.

Soon after the official documents from the imperial court came down, Gao Tianhai came to a small town in northern Xinjiang to serve as the county magistrate.

Gao Tianhai knew that if he wanted to climb up, he had to make some political achievements.

At that time, the Kingdom of Jin invaded, and the people in northern Xinjiang were living in dire straits.

Wanting to make political achievements in this general environment is wishful thinking.

However, Gao Tianhai still has a way. In the era of war, it is the fastest to get promoted through military exploits.

Knowing that the situation at the border was tense, Gao Tianhai summoned more than a thousand people from all over the county to rush to the border.

Not only did Jin Guo not notice this thousand-man team, even Wei Guo's border guards didn't know about it.

Under Gao Tianhai's command, they made a detour to the rear and set fire to the Jin army's food and grass one night.

The fire that reflected the red half of the sky burned for a whole night.

It is said that in war, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Without the food and grass, the Kingdom of Jin had to retreat.

Gao Tianhai's troops were less than a hundred.

When the news spread, Gao Tianhai became famous and was praised by people all over the world.

Gao Tianhai, who returned to the county government, waited happily for the imperial edict.

But what he waited for was not a promotion, but a reward of gold and silver.

Gao Tianhai wasn't discouraged either. After all, one thing that was rumored outside was true. It was because he burned the enemy's food and grass that the enemy would retreat and bring temporary peace to the people of northern Xinjiang.

But it cannot be denied that what he did was against the rules.

This time he was the one who won to win a lot of praise, but what if he lost?
Fighting a war is a very complicated matter, and sometimes because of his reckless behavior, the plan of the frontline commander may collapse in an instant.

Gao Tianhai can only wait patiently, believing that as long as he serves the people wholeheartedly, he will be appreciated by the court.

However, when a county magistrate who had been in office for less than half a year was exceptionally promoted to magistrate, Gao Tianhai was not calm.

After a secret investigation, I found out that the county magistrate had seized a large amount of money in the past six months, and then sent the money to Chang'an. As expected, he was promoted soon.

After becoming a magistrate, he has more power at hand, can collect more money, and then become a bigger official.

Gao Tianhai waited for a few more years, but still couldn't wait for the official document of promotion.

At this time, his mentality had collapsed, and after careful consideration, he felt that the only option was to spend money to buy an official.

Facts have proved that this path is correct. When a large amount of money was sent to Chang'an City, not long after, he was promoted to two ranks, and after a few years, he was promoted to prefect again.

It was at this time that Gao Tianhai met Shi Xiongxiong.

Shi Xiongxiong came to northern Xinjiang to deal with the zombie wounding incident, and he hit it off with Gao Tianhai.

At that time, Shi Xiongxiong was not yet the envoy of the Zhenshi Division, but he had a good personal relationship with many high-ranking officials in Chang'an.

Shi Xiongxiong had a way to get Gao Tianhai to become an official in Chang'an. At the same time, he also warned Gao Tianhai that there are high-ranking officials everywhere in Chang'an City. If they go there, they will be inferior. It's better to be a magistrate in this northern Xinjiang and live a good life as a local emperor.

Gao Tianhai followed Shi Xiongxiong's suggestion. Although he had the opportunity to go to Chang'an, he chose to refuse, saying that he was reluctant to part with the people in northern Xinjiang and must lead them to live a good life.

It was also with Shi Xiongxiong's help that Gao Tianhai began to practice martial arts and made rapid progress.

Gao Tianhai will also look for some suitable corpses and even living people for Shi Xiongxiong, so everyone can get what they need.

Every time Gao Tianhai learned that a high-ranking official in Chang'an was beheaded and his home was ransacked, Gao Tianhai felt that Shi Xiongxiong's advice was right.

However, when he learned that Shi Xiongxiong later entered Chang'an and became the envoy of the Zhenshi Division, with a first-rank official residence, he was stunned.

Shi Xiongxiong was persuading him not to go to Chang'an, but he went instead, which is quite ironic.

When Gao Tianhai was hesitating whether to go to Chang'an, Wei Zhongxian sent someone to find him, hoping that he could help collect the fox fur.

As for the number of fox skins, Wei Zhongxian said in his letter that the more the better.

After the matter was completed, Wei Zhongxian promised to let Gao Tianhai enter Chang'an as a servant of the Ministry of War.

Although the official status has not changed, the power at hand has increased a lot.

Of course, the minister of the Ministry of War is just a springboard, and Gao Tianhai will soon be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War.

Gao Tianhai knew that Wei Zhongxian had this ability.

Now it seems that if you want to catch up with Shi Xiongxiong, you have to rely on Wei Zhongxian.

There are so many foxes in northern Xinjiang, Gao Tianhai thought it would be easy to satisfy Wei Zhongxian, but unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian couldn't get enough to feed.

Fortunately, after learning the rumors about Wenjia Village, Gao Tianhai acted quickly, using the villagers of Wenjia Village, and caught a large number of foxes.

When these better-colored fox skins were sent to Chang'an, Gao Tianhai was also praised by Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian promised that after this year is over, he will increase Tianhai's military department.

Gao Tianhai believed it to be true. After that year, he hadn't been able to wait for the official document of promotion.

But at this moment, Gao Tianhai received a letter from Shi Xiongxiong.

Shi Xiongxiong needs twenty strong Jin people.

There are also Jin people in Chang'an City, but the number is not many. If 20 people are captured at a time, it is easy to cause problems.

But it was very easy for Gao Tianhai to catch twenty Jin people.

This time Gao Tianhai did not obey the order.

But to his surprise, Wei Zhongxian also sent a letter later, asking for twenty strong golden men.

Looking at the two letters with similar contents, Gao Tianhai was confused.

He had no choice but to follow suit, and at the same time sent people to Chang'an to find out.

At this moment, Yang Jiu appeared in Beijiang, first disturbing the fox hunting in Wenjia Village, and then came to Chang'an to kill Gao Tianhai's son.

In the end, even Gao Tianhai died in the hands of Yang Jiu.

After reading Gao Tianhai's life, Yang Jiu suspected that Wei Zhongxian had never contacted Gao Tianhai, and Shi Xiongxiong was behind everything.

Shi Xiongxiong has been refining corpses all the time, but does he need fox fur for refining corpses?
If it was really Shi Xiongxiong, where was the fox fur sent to Chang'an hidden?

Because of the greed of those traveling gang members, they stole the fox fur while carrying the fox fur, which resulted in a murder case of the fox demon.

Originally Shi Lingling and Wen Shuang were both suspects, but in the end both of them denied it.

Now it seems that the real murderer is either Shi Xiongxiong's person or Wei Zhongxian's person.

Shi Xiongxiong had already died, so Wei Zhongxian was very suspicious.

[Stitching 190 nine corpses, the host will be rewarded with corpse control skills. 】

As the name suggests, corpse control is the ability to control all kinds of corpses, whether they are human corpses or various animal corpses.

It is a bit like puppet art in use, but its power is much stronger than that of puppet art.

Seeing Yang Jiu come out, Gan Sisi asked: "Jiulang, now northern Xinjiang is in complete chaos, what should we do?"

Yang Jiudao: "Find someone to temporarily replace Gao Tianhai to handle affairs, and it should return to normal soon."

In the end, who will be sent by the imperial court to take charge of Northern Xinjiang is a matter for the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials needs to recommend someone, and with Wu Sanyue's approval, they can officially take office.

"Who are you looking for?" Gan Sisi asked again.

It feels like all the officials in the city are Gao Tianhai's henchmen, and if they don't even sit together now, these officials feel that they have burned Gao's incense.

It is very difficult to find one of them to temporarily take charge of northern Xinjiang.

Yang Jiu then asked people to gather all the officials in the city, no matter how small the official position was, there must be no one less.

Northern Xinjiang must not be chaotic. At this time, a person with outstanding ability is needed to step forward. No matter how small the official position of this guy is, as long as he is capable, the possibility of being recognized as the magistrate is very high.

……

"Lingling, have you really given up on killing Yangjiu?" Wen Shuang was still a little disbelieving while eating the wonton.

Shi Lingling was very obsessed with killing Yang Jiu before, but now that Yang Jiu has eliminated Gao Tianhai and others who caused harm to the people in Northern Xinjiang, will Shi Lingling let Yang Jiu go?
Shi Lingling swallowed the wontons in her mouth, and said with a smile: "Shuang'er, what have my father been doing all these years, what have you done, do you think I really don't know anything?"

Thinking back now, she persuaded her more than once, but it was a pity that Shi Xiongxiong refused to listen.

When she learned that Shi Xiongxiong was killed by Yang Jiu, she was really sad, but she was more relieved.

What Shi Xiongxiong is going to do is enough to kill thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

If Yang Jiu is also a dog official in the mouth of the people, then Shi Lingling will kill him to avenge his father.

It turns out that Yang Jiu is different from those dog officials. No matter how difficult the situation is, he must kill the dog officials and make decisions for the people.

"I thought that if Gao Tianhai died, the sky in northern Xinjiang would clear up, but I didn't expect..." Wen Shuang sighed softly.

Sitting on the street eating a bowl of wonton at this moment, one can feel that the city is on the verge of losing control.

Some people didn't pay at all after eating, and the boss chased after them, but they were beaten up instead.

There are also people who walk on the street, see who is upset, and go straight to it.

It feels like the common people are suffocated on weekdays, but now that Gao Tianhai is dead, everyone has completely let go.

"Isn't Yang Jiu looking for reliable officials? As long as someone stands up, I believe the situation will get better." After all, Shi Lingling is Shi Xiongxiong's daughter, and she is quite familiar with some things in the officialdom.

Wen Shuang shook her head and buried her head in her meal. Finding a good official was not easy.

Under the rule of Gao Tianhai in recent years, northern Xinjiang has been covered with haze. Even if there were some good officials, they have changed with the passage of time.

After eating the wontons, Wen Shuang wiped her mouth and said with a smile, "I don't think there are any good officials in northern Xinjiang."

"I do know a person who may be able to lead the people of northern Xinjiang to live a normal life." Shi Lingling looked confident.

Wen Shuang was quite curious and asked, "Who?"

"Bao Juzheng." Shi Lingling smiled.

Although Wen Shuang was born and raised in Northern Xinjiang, she has never heard of this person.

Shi Lingling has many friends in the Jianghu, and it is very easy to find out some old things.

This Bao Juzheng was originally an official, and his official position was not small.

Originally, Bao Ju was expected to become the magistrate, and some decent officials in the DPRK were also strongly recommending him, but Gao Tianhai was killed halfway.

Gao Tianhai wanted to win over Bao Juzheng, but Bao Juzheng was naturally unwilling.

Under Gao Tianhai's framing and persecution, Bao Juzheng resigned angrily after being demoted several grades in succession, and made a living by farming in the village outside the city.

At the beginning Gao Tianhai kept looking for troubles for Bao Juzheng, but later seeing that Bao Juzheng really wanted to farm the land, Gao Tianhai had a bit of conscience and chose to let Bao Juzheng go.

"Does Yang Jiu know this person?" After hearing Bao Juzheng's story, Wen Shuang felt that this person might really be able to do it.

Shi Lingling smiled and said: "Isn't there us here?"

Wen Shuang smiled, and knew that Shi Lingling was a kind and good person.

……

Living under Gao Tianhai's rule, even officials who were originally very decent had to go along with it.

After all, this is the only way to save the lives of yourself and your family.

Yang Jiu just instinctively felt that none of the officials who were called together was good.

When killing Gao Tianhai, I felt very happy.

But to deal with the aftermath, I feel extremely painful.

Yang Jiu wanted to go back to Chang'an, but seeing the current situation, it was difficult to go back in a short time.

If he can't find a suitable candidate, he can only stay and deal with the affairs temporarily.

Those officials stood in the courtyard of the government office, waiting patiently for news.

They all know that this is an opportunity, as long as they can be selected and work hard, they can usher in a better tomorrow.

Just when Yang Jiu was in a state of desperation, suddenly a feathered arrow shot at him.

Yang Jiu didn't hide, the feather arrow hit the wall behind him, with a letter tied to the end of the arrow.

Gan Sisi was taken aback, pulled out the arrow, took down the letter and handed it to Yang Jiu.

"The little girl Wen Shuang is interesting." Yang Jiu read the content of the note and said with a smile.

There were only five words "see you at the gate of the Yamen" written on the note.

Yang Jiu asked all the officials to stay in the government office and wait patiently, while he and Gan Sisi came outside the office.

On the opposite side of the long street, Wen Shuang was wearing a white jacket, looking at the Yamen with clear eyes.

Seeing Yang Jiu approaching, Wen Shuang was quite nervous, clasping her hands together, extremely uneasy.

Walking closer, Yang Jiu clasped her fists and said with a smile, "Miss Wen, it's been hard work following us all the way."

"Master Yang, I know someone who may be the one you want to find." Wen Shuang's voice was unnatural.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "Let's hear it."

Wen Shuang briefly talked about Bao Juzheng.

"Sisi, go prepare the horse." Yang Jiu said.

Gan Sisi returned to the government office, and soon led two horses out.

Yang Jiu thanked Wen Shuang, and rode out of the city.

It wasn't until Yang Jiu's figure completely disappeared that Wen Shuang raised her hand to caress her heart, her forehead and back were covered with cold sweat.

Go outside the city and find the place where Bao Juzheng lives.

It was a simple thatched hut, surrounded by a fence, and the yard was full of vegetables.

A man in his early forties was weeding in the vegetable garden with a hoe.

Yang Jiu didn't go in through the fence gate, but came to the side, clasped his fists and asked, "Your Excellency, is Bao Juzheng?"

Hearing the words, the working man raised his head and found that he didn't know Yang Jiu and Gan Sisi, and he was probably sent by Gao Tianhai to watch him again.

Not long ago, Gao Tianhai came here in person, trying to persuade him to enter the government office again so that he could help Gao Tianhai with some chores.

Now that he has left, Bao Juzheng will definitely refuse.

"Who are you two?" Bao Juzheng just nodded.

Yang Jiu said with a smile: "Here in Xia Yang Jiu, he is a corpse stitcher from Dongchang. He is here to invite Mr. into the lord's office to protect the people in northern Xinjiang."

"I've heard of Yang Jiu, but Gao Tianhai used such a clumsy method, he really looked down on me, Bao Juzheng." Bao Juzheng smiled.

It seems that Gao Tianhai is really at his wit's end. It's really funny that he could think of using a corpse stitcher from Dongchang to deceive him.

Bao Juzheng's reaction made Yang Jiu quite happy.

Yang Jiu jumped in from the fence and said, "It seems that Mister is quite capable."

"You're breaking into a private house." Bao Juzheng was holding the hoe tightly, as if planning to defend himself.

Yang Jiu chuckled and said, "Gao Tianhai is dead, doesn't Mr. know?"

Bao Juzheng couldn't help being taken aback.

The people sent by Gao Tianhai dare to speak like this?
However, Yang Jiu told Bao Juzheng the cause and effect, and elaborated on the extremely complicated situation in northern Xinjiang today.

If no one can stabilize the situation, Northern Xinjiang will surely fall into chaos. At that time, Bao Juzheng may not be able to grow vegetables and water the garden here with peace of mind.

"Master, you can go." At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked out of the hut, holding a son and a daughter by both hands.

The daughter is older, looks very juicy, and looks about fourteen or sixteen.

The son is chubby and a little naive, probably in his early ten years old.

Bao Juzheng glanced at them, sighed softly, and said, "I want to see Gao Tianhai's body first."

Gao Tianhai's body was displayed at the gate of the government office for a day, and the news caused a sensation in the whole city.

It seems that although Baoju Zhengren is outside the city, he is actually living a life isolated from the world, and he knows nothing about what happened in the city.

"Okay." Yang Jiu nodded in agreement.

When leaving, Yang Jiu asked Gan Sisi to stay and take charge of protecting Bao Juzheng's family.

Although Gao Tianhai obeyed the law, over the years, Gao Tianhai has always cultivated some lackeys who are loyal to him, just like the woman in black.

Gan Sisi also wanted to know more, to see if Bao Juzheng was really capable of stabilizing northern Xinjiang.

Back at the government office, Yang Jiu took Bao Juzheng directly to the room where Gao Tianhai's body was buried.

After Bao Juzheng saw it, he sighed endlessly.

On the way back to the city, he heard the people talking, and felt that the whole city was indeed different from before.

In the courtyard of the government office, officials of all sizes in the city were waiting for Yang Jiu's decision.

"Master Yang, what you do is against the rules." Bao Juzheng said.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "If everything had been done according to the rules, Gao Tianhai would have fled to the enemy country long ago."

Gao Tianhai has done a lot of evil, if the court really wants to kill him, I'm afraid this guy will really treason and defect to the Kingdom of Jin.

After careful consideration, Bao Juzheng no longer refused, and nodded in agreement.

In the past few years, he has been farming outside the city, but he is actually waiting for such an opportunity.

Yang Jiu holds Wei Zhongxian's token, and Bao Juzheng believes that Yang Jiu has this power.

He can take charge of northern Xinjiang temporarily and wait for the court's decision.

Just as a country cannot be without a king for a day, neither can the northern border be without a magistrate for a day.

When they brought Bao Juzheng to the group of officials, all the officials were shocked.

They waited for so long, but they didn't expect that it was Bao Juzheng who finally came. What qualifications did Bao Juzheng have to become the Lord of Northern Border?
But thinking that Yang Jiu even dared to kill Gao Tianhai, they dared not speak out, and they had all kinds of dissatisfaction in their hearts, so they could only hide it.

After Bao Juzheng put on the magistrate's official uniform, he felt that his temperament was different.

Yang Jiu intends to stay for a few more days to help Bao Juzheng eliminate potential threats.

As for what happened in northern Xinjiang, he has already written a letter and sent someone to Chang'an.

Yang Jiu stayed in the city, even if someone wanted to make trouble, he probably had to think about it.

Therefore, Yang Jiu left with a high profile and then returned quietly. Sure enough, he caught many officials who wanted to assassinate Bao Juzheng.

Those officials, without exception, were all beheaded at Caishikou.

Going back and forth like this several times, even people with ideas in their hearts dare not show off their abilities.

When leaving, Bao Juzheng saw him off in person.

Bao Juzheng didn't care whether he could become the magistrate or not. What he cared about was the future of the people in northern Xinjiang.

After leaving the city, Yang Jiu received a letter from Wen Shuang.

Wen Shuang promised in the letter that she and Shi Lingling would do their best to ensure Bao Juzheng's safety.

It's definitely not enough to rely on the two of them alone, but behind them, there are many people in the martial arts world.

Yang Jiu didn't care about this, even if Bao Juzheng was killed, the court would send another person to take office.

However, before leaving, Yang Jiu used an official luck and prosperity talisman on Bao Juzheng's body.

Bao Juzheng looked very upright, so Yang Jiu wanted to try the power of this talisman on him.

Using this talisman can really make a person prosper from now on?
Thinking of going back to Chang'an, Gan Sisi is still very happy, after all, northern Xinjiang is really too cold.

Gan Sisi was puzzled to find that the direction Yang Jiu was walking seemed to avoid Chang'an on purpose.

"We have one more thing to do this time out." Yang Jiu drove the carriage, which was very warm with a brazier burning.

Dang Xiantao stayed in the little paper figurine for too long, which was extremely detrimental to her reincarnation.

Now that they have all left Chang'an City, Yang Jiu plans to go to the south again, so as to fulfill Dang Xiantao's last wish.

Although Dang Xiantao was killed by those five strange people, her last wish was not to kill those five people to take revenge, but to help them lose their lives, which is quite strange.

Yang Jiu randomly stabbed one of the five people, and saw that the place where the five people were currently was more than 2000 miles away from the northern border.

Compared with the ice and snow in northern Xinjiang, the southern country is full of spring.

In a town with a small bridge and flowing water, the two found an inn to stay.

After changing into thin clothes, Gan Sisi felt relaxed all over.

If Yang Jiu leaves Dongchang and Chaotang in the future, she hopes they can live in the southern country.

The southern country is like spring all the year round, and the climate is pleasant, which is suitable for seclusion.

After dinner, returning to the room, Dang Xiantao, who was staying in the little paper figurine, was quite impatient and asked, "Master Jiu, are those five people really in this small town?"

 Thank you for the support of Ning Zhi's love, riding a snail to see beautiful women's monthly tickets.

  Thanks to all fellow Taoists who subscribed to vote.
