I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

From Guangling to the north along the Grand Canal, on the river, barbarian warships came and went.

Jiaolong was swimming silently at the bottom of the river, Shi Hao, Yueyaotai, Xu Xiaoyan rode the Jiaolong and headed north.

The climate had already become cold, Shi Hao sat in the middle, and performed the Mysterious Charm Kung Fu, and the hot air in his body circulated.

Xu Xiaoyan sat in front of him, with his back leaning on his broad chest, and being hugged by his arms, she was not afraid of the cold.

Little Jade sat on his shoulder, motionless.

As for Yueyao Terrace, she is already a fourth-rank master, so this bit of chill is nothing to her.

Although it is in the river, but under Jiaolong's water control technique, the water flow separated, but they did not flood them.

At the same time, they also took Pishui Dan to keep their breathing smooth.

It's just that nothing can be seen on the white bottom of the river.

Every section of the Grand Canal can be said to be made of corpses.

I don't know how many people were arrested and served as hard labor, and then they could never go back.

Many refugees fled south to escape hard labor, but now, the south is also in chaos, with raging wars.

Jiaolong swam fast, starting early in the morning, and arrived at Gaoyou in the evening.

The three went ashore quietly, while Jiaolong stayed at the bottom of the Grand Canal, catching fish by himself.

At this moment, Shi Hao is wearing a brocade robe, with a sword stuck in his waist... In this kind of place, if you dress better, it will not be easy for officers and soldiers to take you away as a strong man, and you can save a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Yueyaotai still made some disguises, but she looked benevolent, completely different from her own image.

Xu Xiaoyan changed into a chest-length underskirt, and she also looked like a lady who had accomplished martial arts.

Although it was dusk, many strong men were still busy under the supervision of officers and soldiers. From time to time, some people fell down exhausted under the whip.

Xu Xiaoyan bit her lip, although she was angry, she couldn't do anything.

When entering the city gate, although there were officers and soldiers guarding him, Shi Hao was dressed in a brocade robe, looking unrestrained and unrestrained, Yueyao Terrace and Xu Xiaoyan followed behind him, chatting and laughing.

The officers and soldiers who were supposed to step forward to interrogate them took a look at them, but they didn't ask any more questions.

I chose a restaurant that looked pretty good, picked a location, and ordered some dishes.

Before the dishes were served, there was a sudden slapping sound from the next table. They turned their heads and saw a young man in fur slapping the table: "What does he mean? This Gaoyou City, what is it?" Time to become that guy has the final say?

"The strong dragon still doesn't overwhelm the local snake. He is the royal family, and we are also the royal family. My father is the county lord here. What is he? He dares to arrest me?"

There was a middle-aged fat man next to him with a bitter face, and said: "Second Young Master, if this goes on like this, everyone will be unable to do anything. And the silver donated by those big households will be returned as usual, but they are also on the way was robbed."

The young man in fur clothes said angrily: "Have been robbed? Who robbed him? Why don't the six doors catch him?"

The middle-aged man smiled wryly, "Six doors know who robbed them, but they dare not arrest them."

The fur-clothed man glared at him: "No matter what the source is, just catch me, and I'll be responsible if something goes wrong..."

The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "Second young master, the one who robbed the silver taels and said to be the severance pay of those convicts is the daughter of the Yueketai family."

The young man in fur clothes froze for a moment, and after a while, he cursed: "Damn, it's that stinky girl again!"

Chapter 254 Yue Chongliang

The man in fur was called Su Tuhong, Su Tu was his surname in the royal family.

At this moment, Su Tuhong's eyes were filled with anger, and he scolded: "Damn, that stinky girl is relying on Zu Tan and her brother to show off her power and cause trouble everywhere. Do you really think that others can't do anything about her? And that guy Yue Chongliang, This must be his bad idea again, relying on the support of the prime minister, he still manages the world?"

The middle-aged man next to him said helplessly: "Second young master, they are arresting people and robbing money. If this continues, what are the people doing? Especially those white money, it's okay if everyone can't make money , The silver taels that have been taken out cannot be taken back, and there is no reason to travel all over the world."

Su Tuhong sneered and said, "It's just for the sake of him being from the Yueketai family. To give him some face, don't you just deal with the things that the prime minister told you? He's holding on to us, he Is this going to use us to kill chickens and monkeys?

"Don't be afraid. Tonight, everyone was summoned. Tomorrow morning, I will take you there to make a scene. If I have the ability, the Prime Minister will remove all officials, big and small. Damn, let's see who is afraid of whom."

The middle-aged man saw that he was willing to stand up in person, and said happily: "With the second young master, what are you afraid of, the big guy? Don't worry, the second young master, I will go and tell everyone that tomorrow morning, the big guy will follow the second young master." Let's do it together."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went downstairs, and went in a hurry.

Su Tuhong looked around and looked at the three people at the other table.There were only three of them, but they ordered a table of food and drink, and they didn't know why.

Su Tuhong didn't care about them, turned around and sat down on his own, drinking and having fun with other people around him.

Satisfied with wine and food, I went back to sleep and fell asleep. Early the next morning, I got up under the service of the maid beside me, and used the maid to extinguish the fire on the way.

It was early, and when we got outside, the middle-aged man and the others arrived as promised.

These people are all rich local gentry, and seeing the Second Young Master Su Tu coming out, they all complained about the atrocities committed by the young master of the Yue Ketai family, crying for their father and mother, and begging the Second Young Master to decide.

Although Su Tuhong is only the second youngest in Su Tu's family, he is young and promising. He doesn't want his elder brother to spend his days drinking and drinking. Although he also likes to drink and have fun, he also helps the county lord to take care of all the affairs, big and small.

Many things are difficult for Junhou Ming to handle, so they are all left to him.At the same time, he is also a disciple of the famous general Fu Wanduan in the army, and he is also a master of the seventh rank.

Su Tuhong changed into a brand new and shiny fur coat, and pulled his arms, looking vigorous: "Everyone is here? Let's go! Let's talk to him."

Stepping forward, behind him, dozens of wealthy gentry followed him aggressively.

After passing through a long street, he came to a mansion, guarded by officers and soldiers in front of the mansion.With a wave of Su Tuhong's arms, all the wealthy gentry clamored to petition the young master of Yueketai's family.

Soon many people gathered around, but they were all recruited by these wealthy gentry, and the whole street seemed excited for a while.

Su Tuhong led the team to rush forward, and two hundred households led soldiers to stop them.

Su Tuhong pushed his arms, bursting with energy.Those two hundred households didn't dare to hurt him after all, and they were not his opponents, so they retreated hastily.

They broke into the compound and saw Yue Chongliang, son of Yue Ketai's family, sitting in the main hall. Eighteen strong men were stationed at the gate of the hall, but they were the eighteen thunder-chasing riders of Yue Ketai's family.

The eighteen thunder chasing riders lined up and stood on the steps.Looking down at the crowd from a high position, under their strong oppressive force, those wealthy gentry did not dare to move rashly for a while, but kept shouting.

But I heard Yue Chongliang's voice in the hall, melodiously said: "Master Hong Er has arrived? Please come in!"

Su Tuhong snorted, and said: "Wait here, let's see what he has to say first, if he doesn't know what to do, even if he makes trouble in Haojing, he must look good." Stepping up the steps unceremoniously, wearing Chasing thunder through eighteen horses.

Yue Chongliang was in his early twenties, dressed in fancy clothes, quite handsome, sitting at the square table, but possessed a calmness not expected of this age.

He looked at Su Tuhong who was approaching furiously, he was neither angry nor polite, he just asked indifferently: "Second young master brought so many people here, what is he going to do?"

Su Tuhong arched his hands and snorted: "I didn't bring them here. During the days when Mr. Chongliang came here, he had to control everything. If everyone couldn't do things, everyone just endured it. Now it's even more so. Arresting people everywhere, even robbing everyone's money."

"The big guy can't survive, I have to plead for the people, come here and let Mr. Chongliang give me a way to survive."

Yue Chongliang showed a slight mocking smile: "Pleading for the people? Master Hong Er, this jade belt around your waist is quite good, do you know how much it is worth?"

Yue Chongliang suddenly changed the subject, making Su Tuhong stunned for a moment.The exposed part of the jade belt around his waist was covered with precious stones, which shone brightly, making him more energetic.

Su Tuhong was a little proud: "It just cost 500 taels, and someone ordered it from Baoshangzhai in Beijing."

"500 taels!" Yue Chongliang said slowly, "A belt is worth 500 taels, so I don't know what kind of people you represent, Second Young Master? On the contrary, they keep saying that they represent the 'people'?"

"The prime minister ordered that the Grand Canal will not be excavated any more, and that the conscripts should return to their respective villages, and the homeless should be divided into fields for resettlement. It's good for you, and you will get a service termination fee and a resettlement fee. Only those who have money can return to their hometowns. Qian’s will continue to serve as hard labor for you and help you build palaces and palaces.”

"There are many wars in the south of the Changhe River. You are hoarding. You have piled up a lot of food in the warehouses of each family, but you refuse to release it. You also increase various taxes and service money without authorization, and force the common people to sell their fields and land for you to enclose and occupy the land.

"The new fields reclaimed by the imperial court with great difficulty fall into your hands, and the official land of the imperial court falls into your hands. If the common people have one or two acres of land, if you don't take it, you will feel uncomfortable. Until now, Even the copper coins and rations that the prime minister had managed to get to distribute to the returnees, you also tried every means to find excuses to snatch them away."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at these people or himself: "I don't even know, do you think the lives of ordinary people are too long, or your own lives are too long? You can't Just like your elder brother, honestly relying on the wealth that can't be spent in a few lifetimes, just eat, drink, prostitute and gamble?"

Unexpectedly, he would compare himself with that incompetent elder brother. Su Tuhong was extremely annoyed: "Yue Chongliang, we only take you seriously because of the face of the prime minister. This is Gaoyou, if everyone is unhappy , sooner or later you will be exposed here, even if you go to the prime minister, Gao You is all in one mind, what can the prime minister do?"

Yue Chongliang sighed: "That's right, you really have one heart, one heart for greed, and one heart for filth."

He leaned back, and said indifferently: "The silver taels that were robbed will not be returned to you, they should be returned as the return money you took and distributed to the servants, and the fields you took I have to spit it out, so that the local conscripts who are already homeless can have a resettlement."

"Service termination money, resettlement money... Hehe, it was supposed to be distributed by the court to the people, but you actually asked the people in the same name, and if the people don't pay, they will continue to do hard labor, or their families will be ruined. This kind of thing, It’s hard to do it for you.”

"By the way, there is also food brought by the imperial court for disaster relief. In order to sell your own food, you have accumulated it for too long. You should release it as soon as possible, and the food you hoarded yourself..."

Su Tuhong said angrily: "Yue Chongliang, don't be too rampant. You are not in charge of this Gaoyou. You want to make everyone have a bad life. The big guy is not afraid of you. Be careful so that you can't get out." Gaoyou."

Yue Chongliang smiled and said: "It seems that there is nothing to talk about?"

Su Tuhong sneered and said, "That's right, there's nothing to talk about..."

Yue Chongliang raised his head and said loudly: "Since there is nothing to talk about, let's do it."

But there was a long howl outside the hall, the high walls on both sides were knocked down, and a large number of soldiers and horses rushed out.

Su Tuhong shouted: "Yue Chongliang, what are you going to do?"

Yue Chongliang said: "Since there is nothing to talk about, let's just be more direct."

There was a wailing sound outside, and the rich gentry outside were beaten to the point of blood, and they were overthrown to the ground, and the shackles and chains were all put on them.

Su Tuhong said angrily: "Yue Chongliang, do you dare to do it? It depends on you..."

Yue Chongliang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "This kind of person? See which soldiers and horses are outside before talking."

Su Tuhong's face changed slightly, and he looked out, followed by his expression: "Baiyang Army? You actually mobilized the Baiyang Army without authorization? Now even the prime minister can't protect you."

Yue Chongliang stroked his forehead, very speechless: "Is it possible for me to mobilize the Baiyang Army without authorization? You idiot, if I don't have a token in my hand, will they listen to me?"

Su Tuhong was stunned for a moment: "You, you used the Baiyang army to arrest people just for this kind of thing? Just for this little thing?"

Furious: "Yue Chongliang, don't think that you dare to act recklessly because the prime minister is in charge of helping you. The Da Jin Dynasty is not the prime minister's final say. This is Gaoyou, and even the Baiyang Army can't arrest you without authorization." people……"

Yue Chongliang stood up and stretched out a hand towards him.

Su Tuhong originally has the strength of the seventh rank, so he can be regarded as a good player.

Compared to his incompetent, fat-bellied elder brother, he is still young and promising.

But at this moment, he felt that as Yue Chongliang's hand stretched out towards him, everything he saw turned into darkness.

The swirling darkness pressed towards him with a biting murderous aura.

There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to make any rash moves.

His eyes were terrified, his back felt cold, he just felt that as long as he moved a little, he would die suddenly on the spot.

The hand pressed against his forehead, but slowly moved away, and patted his shoulder lightly.

"A very beautiful fur coat, a very shiny jade belt!" Yue Chongliang sighed softly, patted the dust on him, and said, "When will you people understand that I am tired of the prime minister?" Working hard, for what? Just so that in the future of our Great Jin Dynasty, even a fool like you can live well."

He had a mocking look on his face, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at the idiot in front of him or himself.

Chapter 255 The Girl on the River

While talking, a fast horse came galloping in the distance, and a warrior leaped down, carrying a wooden box, not caring about the rich gentry who were beaten to death and dragged away by the soldiers, and stepped in: "Young Master Chongliang."

The warrior knelt on one knee and held up the wooden box.

There was blood seeping out of the gap at the bottom of the wooden box.

Su Tuhong blurted out, "What is this?"

Yue Chongliang said: "Leader!"

Su Tuhong's face was pale and ugly: "Whose head!"

"Don't worry!" Yue Chongliang glanced at him and said calmly, "It's not your father's."

He took the wooden box, sat back on the big chair, and opened it regardless of the blood on the edge of the wooden box.

When Su Tuhong looked, he saw the head of the person in the box glaring with anger, and even after death, it made people feel mighty and fierce.

He asked, "Who is this man?"

Yue Chongliang said: "Zhang Jiusi!"

Su Tuhong was taken aback for a moment: "Zhang Jiusi?"

Yue Chongliang raised his head and glanced at him: "A rudder master of the former Dark Thunder Society, after the Dark Thunder Society disbanded, brought a group of people to hide in Longqiu Ridge, and together with the 29 villages of Longqiu Ridge, they are going to be here today. Liujing County in the east killed officials and rebelled, causing chaos and conquering Gaoyou.

"The reason why the Baiyang army came here was because they got this information, and they suppressed them before they were ready, and killed this [-]th."

Su Tuhong was stunned for a while, then subconsciously wiped off his cold sweat: "Longqiuling? Just those bandits, how dare they?"

"Why don't you dare?" Yue Chongliang sneered, "How much food have been given to you these years, how many soldiers have you brought to wipe them out, I didn't see those cottages destroyed, I only saw that the bandit villages are getting worse and worse. Many, every day and every night, I don’t know how many people are forced to become bandits by you.”

"Just one Longqiu Ridge has been suppressed wave after wave, from five villages to eleven villages, and from eleven villages to seventeen villages, 23 villages, and 29 villages."

He looked down at the furious head in the box, with a helpless expression on his face: "Actually, I can't blame them. If I wasn't a member of the Jin clan, I would have turned against this bullshit court long ago."

Su Tuhong opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't speak.

-

"Don't look at the small size of Gaoyou City. After the completion of the Grand Canal, it has actually become the most important thing!" Sitting on Jiaolong's back, Shi Hao analyzed the map based on the memory in his mind. Going north is extremely difficult."
