I have a fortune book

Chapter 242 Zong Zhengzhi Clan, Dragon and Tiger Enter the Law

A cloudy wind suddenly picked up, and in the dark pond, the water waves rolled, and countless bubbles emerged, as if something strange was about to emerge from the bottom of the pond.

All the yamen servants looked terrified, and the head catcher who was reciting the official document of the imperial court immediately speeded up: "...the demons and monsters, suppress them together!"

The seal of the county magistrate of Pingcang affixed on the official document appeared red, with dragons singing and tigers roaring, with invisible majesty overwhelming one side.

The restless pond suddenly calmed down, only an unwilling scream came out, and looking at the earthen temple by the pond, the weird and ugly statue had been split from head to tail.

As a head catcher at the official level, I was a little scared at first, but seeing the evil god being suppressed, my mood calmed down a little.

But when he caught a glimpse of the worshiping eyes of his subordinates, he immediately stiffened a little, and shouted at the pond with righteous words: "Hmph, how can a mere evil god dare to resist the court's law, how can he know the power of a dragon and a tiger?"

"Come here, tear down this temple and put a seal on it!"

……

After the matter was over, Zhou Bai nodded slightly, waved away the water mirror, and then turned to look at the embarrassed people in the Qunshi Hall.

"The fortune of the country is prosperous, these wild ghosts really don't know how to live or die, and they actually came to us to confuse people."

"It's all the patriarch's ability to govern the country, which is really the luck of the people..."

A group of people were sweating profusely, whether they were clan elders or key deacons, they could only try their best to flatter them.

They knew that Zhou Bai's intentions were very righteous, and maybe a large number of people would be unlucky today.

But Zhou Bai didn't ask their opinions, but turned to Zhou Lin, who was the first one next, and said, "Mr. Zhou, how should we deal with it according to the laws of the country and the clan's rules?"

As the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and the owner of the second house of the Zhou family, Zhou Lin sighed in his heart. He probably understood what Zhou Bai meant.

Immediately cleared up his mood, got up and cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Return to your lord, according to the national law, those who participate in persecuting the officials of the Township Administration shall be sentenced to labor reform; those who participate in spreading the belief of evil gods shall be exiled to Shibian after they regain consciousness."

"According to the clan rules, the offending clansmen, regardless of their descendants, should be expelled from the Zhou clan, so that they can be regarded as righteous!"

Zhou Lin's punishment directly made the hall silent again, and several deacons' legs were weak, almost unable to stand.

"Well, let's implement the national laws and family regulations together. After the family registration is revoked, send it to the Pingcang County Government." Zhou Bai's indifferent voice reached everyone's ears, and no one dared to raise any objections.

No, immediately a Xuanjia imperial guard standing outside the door entered the hall and began to pick people according to the list in hand.

Seeing this, the clan elders didn't understand. Their clan leader had checked it out a long time ago, and they really didn't ask for their opinions.

So the clan elders who still had the right to speak slumped on their chairs, silently watching the middle-class clan people they regarded as their successors being taken away.

Among them are the leaders and backers who intimidate the Township Administration, and there are also those who indulge in the affairs of evil gods, and even accept beliefs and accept bribes from believers.

"Patriarch, I was wronged, I don't want to be expelled from the clan."

"Why, the patriarch is already the lord of the country, and my Zhou clan still has to abide by those cumbersome laws and regulations!"

"Forgive us once..."

In desperation, some people who were taken away were not reconciled, and said things they shouldn't have said. Later, they came to the county government to make their own judgments.

After seven or eight people left their seats in a row, and the list was almost finished, two guards actually walked up to a clan elder.

The silence could not be maintained, and there was a loud noise in the hall...

Because the old man of this clan is Zhou Chengxian, who used to be the owner of the six-bedroom home. He not only has the right to speak in the group affairs hall of the clan, but also has great prestige in Hongni Township.

It is the old man of Hongni Township. Many clansmen and villagers will invite him to witness and decide when they encounter matters that need to be debated.

"Hold on."

Zhou Bai walked up to Zhou Chengxian, called a timeout at the right time, and let the guards leave first.

Then he stared at the old man who was past seventy years old and said: "Sixth Uncle, do you have anything to say? You are the one who wants to replace the national law with the clan law in Hongni Township, right?"

"Brother Bai, I..." Zhou Chengxian wanted to explain something, but under Zhou Bai's gaze, he didn't say anything completely.

After confirming this information, Zhou Bai sat back on the main seat, and said loudly to the group of rulers of the Zhou clan in the Qunshi Hall: "The king's law is ruthless, and the law does not show favoritism. Today I will play favoritism for the last time."

"Zhou Chengxian, the elder of the clan, will not be punished according to the laws and regulations of the country. He will be relieved of all positions in the clan immediately. From now on, he will be responsible for the incense in the ancestral house and ancestral hall. Don't go out and walk around."

Hearing this, Zhou Chengxian and all the clan elders were relieved. If they went to jail, they would even be expelled from the clan.

How do they face the villagers, how do they face the people of other countries.

However, they also understood that Zhou Bai's treatment of the entire Zhou clan was the key point.

The last time you showed favoritism to your tribe?Most likely true.

"I handed over [-] mu of farmland under my name, as the family land, to support the juniors to study and learn martial arts. In addition, three times a year, the clan has the right to directly recommend talented people in the clan to me, and I will appoint them according to the situation."

No one expected that when Zhou Bai opened his mouth, it was his own benefit to the clan.

But without waiting for the elders to thank them, Zhou Bai looked serious and said coldly: "But from now on, the Zhou family is the Zhou family, and the Anbei country is the Anbei country. In the future, they will confuse the two, and even think that the Zhou family is the 'royal family' Those who are involved will go to the Zongzheng Mansion to report by themselves."

"By the way, Zhou Lin is the Zongzheng of the Zongzheng Mansion, responsible for restraining the words and deeds of the clansmen. Anyone who commits a crime will be punished by the national laws and family regulations!"

The cold and harsh voice echoed in the Qunshi Hall.

Zhou Lin, who had been with Zhou Bai for a long time, was still sensible, and immediately bowed and said, "My minister takes orders."

The rest of the clan elders and deacons, what else can they say in the face of carrots and sticks, can only take orders together.

The local government didn't dare to take care of it. This week, Bo can understand that human nature is like this.

Therefore, the institution of the Zongzheng Mansion was used to make up for the omissions of local supervision, so that the Zhou family who raised him would not become a moth of the state.

The admonition and arrest, the ruthless king, and the Zong Zhengfu, after a series of combined punches, these high-level clansmen inevitably became much weaker.

Whether they were resentful or afraid of Zhou Bai, they didn't care, but he knew what was right was wrong.

Therefore, when the meeting ended, Zhou Bo abruptly said: "I saw that luck in the clan has greatly increased, and the younger generations are born in large numbers. If you can get a few candidates in this imperial examination, it will pave the way for you to become an aristocratic family."

"Patriarch Xie, we old guys will definitely urge the juniors to study." Mentioning the status of the aristocratic family, everyone stopped feeling depressed immediately.

The prestige of the county, after Zhou Bai established the Anbei Kingdom, and Zhou Lin, Zhou Rui and others were appointed as high-ranking officials, it has been logically achieved.

But the aristocratic family is still far behind, and the blessed land in the yin world is mostly supported by the fate of the yang world, and it is not really privately formed by the Zhou family.

Yes, with such a wise monarch and patriarch in power, why should they be obsessed with the current "petty profits.

When the Qunshi Hall was emptied, Zhou Bai immediately noticed the changes in the clan's law net. This was because many clan elders were dividing power to the core children who had not been implicated this time.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and the fortune of the clan took advantage of the rising fortune of the country, and it became more and more solid.

The yellow luck of the prefect of the county pervades the whole clan, nourishing the younger generations, making them active in thinking and healthy in body.

If the Zhou family can really follow his pace, after raising a generation in the yellow house, the hope of the green house will not be far away.

……

In Zhou Bai's favorite study room, Li Yuan, the deputy head of the Taoist regiment, and Yao Ping, the commander of Xuanyiwei, had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Zhou Bai took his seat, Li Yuan reported with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, after your dragon and tiger talisman was engraved on the Pingcang County Law Open, the majesty of the government has greatly increased. Even a small county official, as long as he has the official document stamped by the county magistrate, he will be fine." It can suppress the wild hairy gods, let alone those ordinary ghosts."

"What about the monks who have not yet belonged to the Taoist regiment? Apart from opening the law, can they resist the power of the government." Zhou Bai nodded, and immediately asked the key point.

Li Yuan's expression suddenly fluctuated, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ordinary Taoists and even casual cultivators can only retreat in front of the official Pei Yin."

"Weichen has experimented. The county magistrate of Pingcang used his official seal to attract the luck of the dragon and the tiger, and directly suppressed a casual cultivator in the early stage of Taoism into an ordinary mortal. Taoism is forbidden before the law of dragon and tiger."

Hearing this, Yao Ping, who had more contact with people with supernatural powers, was also shocked.

You must know that before the dragon and tiger talisman entered the French Open, although the official spirit had the power to suppress the extraordinary power, it was far from being so outrageous. Most of it was suppressed instinctively by the French Open.

Even in Shenjing City, dignified monks will not be suppressed into mortals, making mana completely inert.

"Where's Wu Fu?" Zhou Bai continued to ask.

"The repressive power will be much smaller, but it still has the same power. The official talent can easily defeat the folk talent." Li Yuan replied without thinking.

He took out a photo ball from the storage bag, which contained a scene of Ping Cang's martial arts training and chasing Jiang Yang's robbers.

At first, the two sides chased after each other, and the fight was evenly matched, but when the instructor took out the sea arrest document and loudly reprimanded the robber for violating the law, the situation changed.

Suppressed by official qi, Jiangyang Bandit's true qi was obviously not flowing smoothly, and he could only surrender in the end.

"So far, under my rule, there is a big difference between inside and outside the system, and extraordinary power is also restricted by the king's law." Zhou Bai casually pointed to the official seals assigned by the two, and said calmly.

He had also witnessed a quarter of an hour ago that a team of ordinary yamen servants could destroy the temple of the evil god.

Speaking of which, there were some omissions in Shenting, and there were wild gods and evil gods sneaking in from the territory, but the gods and the gods can't be blamed entirely.

In the domestic struggle of the Jin Dynasty, countless resentful souls died in battle, and countless evil spirits and ghosts were created.

Recently, Shenting has been busy guarding the south, guarding important places such as the capital and county, and has not completely blocked the large number of sneaking ghosts and gods in the north for a while.

"Such a sign, it seems that the reunification of the Kingdom of Jin is imminent, when Huyanhe will unify and sweep the country, it is reasonable for these things to flee in a hurry." Zhou Bai murmured in a low voice.

"Yao Ping, you must pay close attention to the information on the grassland recently, and see who they want to fight in the first battle after unification."

Yao Ping immediately said sternly: "The minister took the order. Taking advantage of the infighting between the two golds, Xuanyiwei has already infiltrated a large number of spies."

"Has the congratulatory gift for Zhenjun Minghui been delivered, and does he have any intentions?"

"Zhenjun wants my minister to tell you bluntly, saying that the temple of your uncle country is too small for the time being, and if he can become a marquis, he would be willing to be a big enshrinement."
