No taboos

Chapter 177 Adding Difference
In the village of the Ghost Toad and the Evil Earthworm, the villagers are all miserable people.

He couldn't resist this weirdness, nor did he dare to report it to the Extermination Bureau.

They were worried that the Exorcism Department would not be able to eliminate the evil spirits and would instead bring about their revenge.

They were just timid and did not help the evil.

But the weasel village is similar to Huangya Village.

In cooperation with the weasels, they cheated many merchants who came and went, and even did not let go of the nearby villages. They even expanded their "business" as far as Champa!

It’s just that weasels want money more than their lives.

Many people in the pit lost everything, and they lay on the mountain of gold and silver in the cave at the bottom of the temple, rolling around and counting money all day long.

Most of them are just copper coins, so it would take three to five days to count them.

But they never get tired of it, counting once and then counting a second time.

The villagers have long had experience that on days when "counting accounts" and "counting" are prohibited, they should not go to the village temple.

Uncle Huang's family is in great trouble.

If you dare to get close, it will bite off your fingers.

When Mr. Huang was happy with the counting, he would order the villagers to spend a penny to buy a large flock of chickens and ducks and prepare a feast.

The entire village temple was filled with blood and a foul stench.

Led by Xu Yuan and Shi Bading, it took four days to completely clean up these village temples.

The ghost toad and the evil earthworm were killed, and the weasel was driven back to Xiaoyu Mountain.

It’s not that Xu Yuan and Shi Ba Ding don’t want to eradicate all evil, but this group of guys has a trick called “Wind and Sand Listening”.

You can hear the sound carried by the wind from dozens of miles away.

They heard Xu Yuan when he was clearing out Huangya Village.

These guys were extremely timid, and that night, dozens of people in the family began to move the treasures into Xiaoyu Mountain.

Although they had a large family but were small in size, it took them four or five days to transport all the mountains of treasure back to the mountains.

After Xu Yuan and Shi Ba Ding raided two village temples, it was their turn, but the thieves had already gone.

Then I have no choice but to give up.

Although Shi Ba Ding and a group of captains from the Quhui Division were all envious, they only regretted that they arrived a step too late and were unable to snatch this batch of treasures.

It is particularly troublesome to deal with the villagers in these villages.

It is of course impossible to send all of them to an orphanage, so we can only screen them.

But they have come into contact with evil spirits after all. Although the contact is not as close as that in Huangya Village, there is still a risk of strange changes.

Di Youzhi suggested: "Appoint an officer in each village. He should live there and keep an eye on these people. If there are any signs of sophistry, they should be dealt with immediately, either by beheading them or reporting them to the Champa Office."

Xu Yuan glanced at him and said, "Anyone who stays in a place like this is tantamount to exile."

Di Youzhi laughed heartily: "Sir, do you think I'm taking this opportunity to kick out those who I don't like in the agency?"

"Is not it?"

"My lord, it was easy for you to enter the Department of Extermination of Filth. You don't really think that the threshold for entry is low, do you?" Di Youzhi said.

Xu Yuan suddenly realized: "Do you want these four places?"

"I'm not the only one who wants it." Di Youzhi said, "Why don't you announce the news now and see if Mao Dabin and the others want it."

The threshold for joining the Impurities Removal Bureau is not low, but very high.

There are many practitioners of low level in the countryside and in the martial arts world, and they can’t get in even if they try their best.

Even in Di Youzhi's own clan, there are many younger generations who have entered the sect but are not up to par, and they also do not have so many opportunities to be arranged into the Extermination of Filth Division.

As long as you get in, not only will you have a high salary, but if you have the opportunity to make a contribution, you will also receive rewards, and you will have the opportunity to enter the mainstream or be promoted to a higher level.

After spending a few years in a village like this, you can be transferred back to Champa.

Xu Yuan looked down on it, but countless people were vying for it.

"Okay, that's the arrangement." Xu Yuan nodded. He wouldn't hold his subordinates back when it came to favors. "Thank you, sir!" Di Youzhi was overjoyed.

Xu Yuan waved his hand: "Don't thank me yet. Go back and report to the Lord Attorney General. It will only count if he approves."

Di Youzhi grinned and said, "How could Lord He refuse your respect for such a trivial matter?"

After being out for seven or eight days, the people from the Exorcism Bureau finally returned to the city in a mighty procession.

When they came out, Qu Jinpeng and Xu Yuan's original intention was to avoid the first round of "battle" between He Youxing and Xie Qingman.

But after saving Shi Ba Ding on the way, he couldn't escape anymore.

You can't just stand by and watch him die, especially since Jia Yi and Mao Dabing are with him.

On the way back, Xu Yuan had already decided: If Xie Qingman was only competing for power with He Youxing, don't bother me, and I won't get involved in their affairs.

If you insist on provoking me...

I have Ma Tianshou protecting me above me, several great achievements in my career, and a group of brothers supporting me below me. How could I be afraid of you?

If you mess with me, I will join He Youxing in beating you so hard that you won’t even recognize your mother!
……

Fu Jingyu did not return to Champa, but went directly to Luocheng.

When Xu Yuan and his men were still in Qingyu Township, the Jiaozhi South Office of the Quhui Division took action.

Within two days, the Pingtian Society branches in Luocheng and Champa were wiped out.

When Ma Tianshou was about to take action against other branches, someone spoke from above.

The arguments are nothing more than "the Champa branch acted on its own" and "a black sheep".

Ma Tianshou resisted the pressure and checked all the Pingtianhui temples within the Southern Office.

Found two more problematic ones.

These two branches were also destroyed.

But that’s as far as it goes.

The Pingtian Society was able to add its own cannons to the list of the Shenji Camp, after all, it had some connections in Beidu.

Fu Jingyu was angry and came back from Luocheng, just in time to meet Xu Yuan leading his men back to the city.

"It turns out that there are some things that even teachers are powerless to deal with." He closed the door in the duty room and sighed helplessly to Xu Yuan.

Song Lu accompanied him and said, “When I returned to Luocheng this time, I also heard some news that the bronzesmiths of the Pingtian Society made cannons, and their sales did increase significantly after they were listed in the directory.

However, these were bought by some private ships going out to sea for defense.

I've also heard that several wealthy craftsmen have abandoned their bronze cannons and are now producing lighter and better iron cannons. I'm afraid their business will struggle in the future."

Xu Yuan was curious: "Private boat? Is it really a defense?"

Song Lu covered her mouth and laughed.

Those private ships would go to Japan and Southeast Asia, transporting goods if there were any, and if they encountered any ships without "defense", they would also rob them.

The Ming Dynasty's maritime ban was not lifted.

But in the past two hundred years, it has become useless.

It is said that the one who created the canal is happy with this situation.

Private sea voyages were rampant among the people of the southeast, and rumors were circulating that someone had ambitious ambitions for the ocean.

Maybe in a few decades, the maritime ban will be lifted.

The three of them were chatting when Lang Xiaoba's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway: "Master Xu, Master Qu wants you to come over for a moment."

Xu Yuan came to Qu Jinpeng's duty room next door and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

Qu Jinpeng rubbed his eyebrows, and the abacus beads on the table in front of him had not been put back in place.

"The four fate cultivators have been figured out." Qu Jinpeng said, "But for some reason, they are actually related to the Mountain and River Division in the city."

"I was afraid I had miscalculated, so I calculated it twice, and the result was the same."
