Chapter 156 The Tiger’s Gift
"Is this... the answer Tai Ashan Jun gave me?"

Xun Shaoyu's face was as heavy as water, and he was sitting casually on a chair, tapping his fingers on the table beside him carelessly.

A square copper box was placed quietly on the table.A trace of bloody smell gradually spread from the copper box.

"This is my Lord's wish. I hope the County Lord will take it for granted." The envoy was wearing a long robe and had an ordinary face, but his demeanor and look showed his general elegance.

"Slow look?"

Xun Shaoyu murmured softly and said: "How can I really dare to look at Tai Ajun's gift?"

He didn't open the copper box too much, he just waved his hand.

An attendant stepped forward cautiously, holding the copper box, bowed and stepped back.

Xun Shaoyu naturally knew the smell of blood in the copper box.

In this case, it is no longer very important whether the copper box is opened or not.

"Tea..."

Xun Shaoyu raised his hand, and several beautiful maids came forward to bring tea. The fragrance of the tea was faint and profound.

He stretched out his hand to salute and said, "I already know Tai Ajun's intention. I have to thank you for your help."

Anyone who can serve as an envoy from the town must be Tai Ajun's confidant and cannot be ignored easily.

Therefore, even if this messenger is below him in rank, Xun Shaoyu will not look down upon him in the slightest.

However, the envoy seemed to be extremely humble and bowed in return, saying: "The little god has been promoted to the eighth rank. He dare not accept the courtesy of the county king. It would be a shame to the little god."

"Hahaha……"

Xun Shaoyu helped the envoy up and said, "The envoy is very polite!"

The messenger chuckled softly and said: "It's not surprising that there are many people paying homage... Since the little god has sent the heart of my family's master, the little god's mission has been completed, so he won't stay any longer."

Xun Shaoyu said: "It's hard work for envoys to come and go."

"come……"

A number of famous maids filed in, each holding a sandalwood makeup box in their hands.

I saw that there were about seven or eight of these maids, all lined up in a row.

"This is?"

The envoy was stunned and looked at Xun Shaoyu in confusion.

In these sandalwood makeup boxes, the scent of incense and wish power is quite strong.Shinto talisman coins are lying quietly on the wooden box and red silk, with symbols of runes flowing around the money.

The envoy just took a cursory look at these Shinto talisman coins and had some suspicions in his mind.

"At least tens of thousands of talisman money!"

You know, as the hard currency in Shinto, talisman money is extremely powerful in purchasing.

Tens of thousands of talisman money is already an extremely considerable amount of money. Even for the city god of a city, it is not dispensable. It can almost wipe out the harvest of a medium-sized county town.

"These are my return gifts."

He stretched out his hand to open a sandalwood makeup box, and a dragon and tiger jade Ruyi mixed with the power of incense and fire flowed a faint red light.

This gift can be described as extremely important!

Looking at the envoy's retreating figure, Xun Shaoyu smiled playfully.

"It is rare for a mere envoy to have such a valiant demeanor!"

He played with a pair of exquisite jade lions in his hands, and spoke highly of the messenger.

Although this pair of Linglong Jade Lions is not a return gift to Tai Ahjun, it is also of unimaginable value to ordinary eighth-rank gods.

However, being able to resist such a temptation made Xun Shaoyu look at him with admiration.

…………

Woo!Woo!Woo!
The horn sounded and Xun Shaoyu walked steadily into the lobby.

The judges of the six divisions each stood aside, and the ten ghost generals occupied a corner.

There are two generals, the cow demon and the horse demon, and the two generals are judge on the left and right.

Dozens of clusters of white light swayed, gradually swaying and overflowing in the lobby of the City God's Mansion.

"See you, sir!"

When Xun Shaoyu took the throne, dozens of officials bowed one after another.

He spoke softly, with a certain energy: "Everyone, please excuse me."

This was the second time that Xun Shaoyu summoned his staff. Compared with the laziness of the first meeting, the staff were still trembling with fear because of the disaster of Changling Mountain. They still had the courage to remain reserved in front of Xun Shaoyu.

"Well,"

The ministers responded respectfully and stood on both sides.

After all, Xun Shaoyu was so powerful that he could not allow his officials to walk on thin ice and be cautious.

"Guys, how many official cases are unfinished recently, why don't you submit them together for everyone to read?"

Xun Shaoyu put his hand on his chin and asked softly.

Judge Li immediately opened his mouth and said: "My Dangyang is the upper county of Jinhua Prefecture, and Jinhua is governed by analogy. Although I dare not say that I don't pick up relics by day and don't close my house at night, but the people's hearts are simple, and it is a land of all kindness."

In the affairs of this world, the human way governs the yang world, and the gods rule the yin world.

The county magistrates of the Yang Dynasty were responsible for the prosperity of a county and the care and support of one place.

As for the gods in the underworld, most of them are used by the incense people to hide from disasters. They are supported and worshiped by the people of a place and a region. They have the duty of suppressing ghosts and exorcising nightmares, and have the authority of heaven and earth at their side.

Shinto suppresses humanity, but gods are respected by the emperor!
"It's good to have nothing to do. It's good to have nothing to do. It's a blessing to the people and a blessing to us."

Xun Shaoyu lowered his eyelids and said lightly.

"The county king teaches by words and deeds, and the little god is so grateful that he sheds tears of gratitude."

Several judges stood up and bowed to Xun Shaoyu.

Xun Shaoyu said indifferently: "Nothing is a blessing...I have always been willing to kill those who have no blessings."

When these words came out, all the staff members sitting there did not feel a slight tremor in their hearts.

Even those with some background and foundation would not dare to reverse the momentum and contradict this evil star.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current governor, let alone Xun Shaoyu, who has both the county magistrate and the current governor.

"The Chang Ling incident is now abuzz, and the city is full of uproar... This is not good!"

He categorically characterized this momentum, and even did not hesitate to show his murderous intentions.

"Is there someone behind this who doesn't know how to cherish the blessings we have now, but instead wants to cause trouble?"

"Check, check hard!"

“Since it is a land of hundreds of virtuous people, how can we ignore the wishes of the people?”

Xun Shaoyu's words were sonorous and forceful, and every word was resounding, the deterrent force that people dare not look directly at, added three points of evil spirit.

"I am a land of hundreds of good deeds, how can I tolerate evil things?"

"It must be a remnant of demons and ghosts who are responsible for this. They should be punished. They should be punished."

Judge Li responded decisively without any hesitation.

Judge Li's statement was far beyond Xun Shaoyu's expectations.Even some of the staff were puzzled.

As Judge Li, who is expected to compete for the position of county king, can he let go of his grudge so easily?

You must know that this is an opportunity for personal promotion, which is rare in three hundred years.

Moreover, the benefits of this practice are still secondary.If you add another [-] lifespans, people won't be able to let go of their grudges easily.

But now Li Bian seems to be dedicated to serving the public good. Seeing him talking and behaving in a dignified manner, even some old friends can't tell how much of this is true and how much is fake. .

Xun Shaoyu said: "In that case, let Li Fen do the inspection and arrest."

"Well..."

Li Pian ignored the others' surprise and responded immediately.

Li Fan has been thanking guests behind closed doors in the past few days, although there are some signs of this.But looking at him now, seeing how quickly he has changed, people who know him still sigh secretly.

It seems that Li Pan's position is stable!

And the position of the first judge is even more stable.

After all, any superior officer would like to see such knowledge and knowledge.

The theory of buying a horse bone with a thousand catties is common to any civilization in any world.

Although the change in Li Pan's attitude was a bit abrupt, there were still some signs of a wise and self-protective move after many days of thanking guests behind closed doors.

“If a mantis’ arm can’t stop a car, how can a centipede shake a tree?”

Judge Li muttered silently in his heart: "If you take a step back, the sky will be brighter, and if you take a step further, you will die without a place to die. For the sake of my family, I must take this step back."

"I can't gamble, and I can't afford it!"

Li Pian clearly stood on Xun Shaoyu's side, which undoubtedly greatly strengthened Xun Shaoyu's authority.

The county king is the leader of the Shinto in the county, and with the first judge being obedient, Dangyang can be said to have a clear message.

Xun Shaoyu looked at the changes in the attitudes of his subordinates, and he naturally knew the reason.

After all, the First Judge's power has been accumulated for hundreds of years, and even he has no way of taking action at the moment.

But Judge Li's bowing of his head undoubtedly meant that he had taken the initiative to put down this momentum.

Although Xun Shaoyu himself was confident that he could manage all the officials properly, there was no need to waste time and effort if he could save time and effort.

and also……

"The day before yesterday, Tai Ahjun sent an envoy to give me a treasure."

Xun Shaoyu said quietly: "This treasure is really worthy of being a rare treasure. No one in this county dares to specialize in its treasure. Today, in this hall, we will reward this treasure together with all the bureaucrats."

Tai Ajun!
The weight of this person made many staff members feel uneasy.

"When did Tai Ajun become so friendly to the county prince?"

"The Lord of the County slaughtered all the living creatures in Changling Mountain. It is Tai Ajun who deserves to be blamed. How could Tai Ajun send you such a rare treasure?"

There is something hidden in this that makes the staff restless.

How this Changling Mountain God came to be so fatal is not known to any of the officials, and none of them are aware of it.

It is a lucky thing that Tai Ajun does not hold any grudges, so where did this treasure come from?

Xun Shaoyu raised his hand and said: "Send it up..."

A Yin official immediately stepped forward, holding a bronze niche box, and walked into the middle of the hall.

"Here..." The Yin official raised the niche box above his head, with the intention of looking at it.

"This is?"

The faint smell of blood in this niche box is very obvious.Especially under the seal of a golden divine power, the blood inside will not dissipate for a long time.

"This is a rare treasure!"

Xun Shaoyu patted the top of the niche box, and the golden and red divine light flowed.

Click!

The niche box was opened wide, and a sudden gasp of air rang out in the center of the hall.

"The God of Changling Mountain!"

Mixed with everyone's exclamations, there was disbelief.

A ferocious human head is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the niche box. Its ferocious face is about to split open, as if it wants to choose someone to devour.

Bits of golden divine power rose up and coiled around the edge of the head, barely holding on to the head.

This Shinto practice starts with the soul, and there is no real physical body at all.

Generally, after his body died, unless he had a special bloodline, he would directly turn into the tiniest particles and scatter them between the heaven and the earth.

If it weren't for the support of divine power, this head wouldn't be able to sustain a breath at all, and it would disperse into countless particles of sand.

"The God of Changling Mountain!"

Xun Shaoyu struck the final blow and shattered all the luck one by one.

"The God of Changling Mountain was treasonous and unethical, and he neglected his duties and responsibilities, which led to today's disaster. You should remember this lesson and don't make the same mistake again."

His "sincere words" are obviously very convincing.

Seeing this mountain god end up like this after one wrong step, who doesn't feel a sense of pity.

But at the same time, Xun Shaoyu's position as county king was already unbreakable.

Even if the county was dissatisfied, Xun Shaoyu could single-handedly suppress these objections unless Lord Jin Shalom took action himself.

However, if Mr. Jinshalong intervenes in Dizhi's internal affairs, even if Xun Shaoyu can't stop his ambition, several powerful people from the Dizhi's lineage will definitely not be stingy and teach Mr. Jinshalong how to be good.

"We, please follow the instructions of the County Lord!"

"We, please follow the instructions of the county monarch!" The staff members kowtowed and paid homage.

Xun Shaoyu laughed it off: "It would be great if you could understand my painstaking efforts..."

Only by truly taking charge of the affairs of a county can he realize his ambition.

The affairs of the underworld and the divine way are all under his control, and no more waves arise.

What is left now is some of the dregs of Yangshi, which he needs to clean up.

…………

Dangyang County Government Office,

Twenty to thirty officials stood in the county government hall, holding water and fire sticks, and the atmosphere was solemn.

As the county magistrate, Xu Shiwen wore a seventh-rank official robe, with a ribbon around his waist, and a tiger-shaped gold button wrapped around the belt, and a pair of official boots, with a slightly impatient expression.

A middle-aged man dressed as a master walked quickly into the courtroom and shouted: "Master, master, the affairs of the Liu family... are settled!"

The master's words instantly dispersed the tense atmosphere in the courtroom.

Some of the court officials quietly pulled out their swords when the master suddenly entered the court, but they had murderous intentions without knowing what was going on.

It was just the master's shout that made the gentlemen breathe a sigh of relief, and put the sword back into its sheath.

"Is the Liu family moving?"

The county magistrate was so happy that he almost danced for joy.

The master was cheerful and said: "Yes, yes... Master, the students have really seen it. The movements of the Liu family's soldiers are unknown. It seems that they are going to make some move."

"Okay, okay... As long as he moves, I will let him kill the whole family."

"Hahaha..." The county magistrate seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and once he got the opportunity, he almost went wild.

The master frowned and advised: "My lord, please bear with me for now. After all, the Liu family has been rich for generations. The three great families in Dangyang have many eyes and ears, and they can dominate this county."

"Although there is a chance to eliminate the serious trouble now, the success will fall short. We must be on guard and be prepared!"

The county magistrate restrained his smile, forced himself to be solemn, and said: "You are right, this county has lost its composure."

The three families of Wang, Ji, and Liu are all the first families in the county. Their power is complex and it will take more than a day and a moment to understand it clearly.

Of course, these three families have become toothless tigers because they have lost their backers.

However, as they have accumulated prestige over time, the various departments in the county are still controlled by three families.

The authority of the county magistrate does not come out of court, and only some unsatisfied saponins can listen to him.

Such an official has been suppressed so miserably for almost ten years.

It's no wonder that when wealthy families come to visit them, the two parties will hit it off immediately and immediately lay out a plan to kill them.

This is Xu Shiwen's last stand. If he succeeds, he will monopolize the power, and if he loses, everything will be a gamble.
