Chapter 43: The Ghost King's Secret
In the early morning, Chu Mo was sitting in the Tingyu Pavilion with a smile on his face, happily teasing the golden-winged eagle on his shoulder with thick-armored pork meat in his hand.
And on the stone table next to it, there was a storage bag.
Since Chu Mo and the leather puppet he had refined were in tune with each other, when Chu Mo used the Golden-Winged Eagle to deliver a message to the imperial capital, he received the information from Hua Rong and Zhang Qing. Chu Mo sent the Golden-Winged Eagle on a trip and brought back this storage bag.
As for the things in the storage bag, they were naturally the imperial edict bestowed by the emperor.
Also, the incident of Chu Mo saving Zhang Daniu and beheading the ghost bride at night yesterday has now caused a sensation in Yong'an Town. Everyone is curious about the strength of the actors in the theater, and at the same time, they have a little more respect for Chu Mo.
The reputation of the theater gradually overshadowed that of some small families.
At the same time, in the mountains not far from Jiangzhou, a team of several hundred people delivering food was moving slowly, and a mile ahead of the team, two generals were slaughtering bandits.
It was Hua Rong and Zhang Qing.
The two were both among the Eight Knights of Liangshan, and their abilities were equally matched. Besides, they were bored from escorting food and fodder, so they asked the General Zhenbei for the title of leading the way.
Hundreds of bandits and robbers died at the hands of the two along the way.
At this time, Zhang Qing suddenly said: "Brother Hua Rong, according to calculations, we should reach Jiangzhou in half a day. By then, the matter of food and grass will be taken over by the governor of Jiangzhou. Why is the emperor so troublesome? This matter is enough for you and me, brothers."
Hua Rong pondered and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Even if the emperor is worried about you and me, he should send civil officials to supervise us. Why did he send a military officer with such a high position?"
Zhang Qing agreed and said, "Brother Hua Rong is right. I really don't know what the emperor is up to."
At this time, a messenger came on horseback and shouted, "Two captains, the general wants you to return quickly. He said he has something important to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qing and Hua Rong immediately rode away on their horses.
In the imperial capital, after Guiying sorted out the news coming from the six counties of Haozhou, he immediately found a clue and hurried to meet the emperor.
Tang Tiansheng looked at the memorial handed over by the ghost with a gloomy face. He sat upright for a long time before muttering, "Okay, although I want to be a benevolent emperor and create a prosperous era in this life, you are becoming more and more dishonest. Do you really think I don't have bloody means?"
Seeing that Tang Tiansheng had not spoken, the ghost shadow at the side reminded him, "Your Majesty, now there are ghost cultivators appearing in four counties, including Haozhou and Liufeng County. They seem to want to create panic. How should we deal with them?"
Tang Tiansheng finally recovered and said, "Notify the governor of Haozhou, Zhou Wenlong, and have him inform all counties that any official appointed by the court who discovers the existence of ghost cultivators can be beheaded on the spot, and those who perform well will be promoted one level."
Then he looked at the ghost and said, "You should also notify the secret guards of each county and have them secretly search for traces of ghost cultivators, find out the specific identities of these ghost cultivators, and help kill them."
For several days, Chu Mo stayed in the theater. He had just killed all the ghost cultivators in Liufeng County in a high-profile manner, so now he had to keep a low profile for a while.
During this period of time, Chu Mo plans to make good use of the spiritual objects he has collected during this period to improve his own strength and enhance the high-end combat power in his hands.
At the same time, he also needs to collect information about the Jueqing Flower and put his own breakthrough to the second level of cultivation on the agenda.
During the days when Chu Mo was reorganizing the situation, the governor of Haozhou set an example by personally investigating the ghost cultivators in various counties. All of a sudden, many people responded and the ghost cultivators in various parts of Haozhou suffered a devastating disaster.
When the governor of Liufeng County, Sun Anzheng, came in person, Chu Mo directly asked Chen Gong to receive him and informed him about the plan to clean up Liufeng County, but he concealed it from Yang Jiye and others.
What Chu Mo didn't know was that after Sun Anzheng learned about the situation, he directly wrote a lengthy official document, which detailed the contributions of Chen Gong and Chu Mo in killing the ghost cultivators, and submitted it to Zhou Wenlong.
A few days later, under the leadership of Zhou Wenlong, the crisis of ghost cultivators in various counties was resolved. At the same time, the conspiracy of the Ghost King Division was also discovered, and a letter was directly submitted to the court and reported to the Ninth Heaven.
In the Taiji Hall, civil and military officials stood below trembling with fear, and Tang Tiansheng looked at the memorial in front of him with a gloomy face.
After a long while, Tang Tiansheng slowly said, "Well, a small Ghost King Division actually has such great power. A ghost cultivation force in Caozhou actually dares to get involved in Haozhou, and its claws stretch from the east to the west. What on earth are you doing? You can't even find such a thing. What's the use of you?"
Seeing Tang Tiansheng’s furious face, naturally no one dared to stand up and get into trouble.
Seeing the group of people below not speaking, Tang Tiansheng became even more angry and said, "Aren't they usually very talkative? Why is no one talking now? Minister of War, you speak up."
A civil servant walked out slowly and said, "I am guilty. I really don't understand the power of the Ghost King Division, so I dare not make any rash comments."
Tang Tiansheng looked at him and said, "Waste"
Just as Tang Tiansheng was about to ask the prime minister for his opinion, a civil servant stood up and said, "I, Guo An, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, pay my respects to Your Majesty. I was once a governor in Caozhou, and I know a little about this ghost king."
Tang Tiansheng, who was turning around, looked at the minister who was kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground, and said slowly: "Raise your head and explain it to me and the gentlemen present."
Guo An said carefully, "Your Majesty, the Ghost King's Division was already notorious when I first became the governor, and has become the most powerful force in Caozhou. The Ghost King is the leader, and under him are the Ten Impermanences. Under them are the Ghost Lords, Ghost Officials, Evil Ghosts, Yin Ghosts, and Ghost Soldiers. The Ghost King's Division has subordinates all over Caozhou. Even after many encirclements and suppressions, it still sits firmly in the top position of Caozhou's underworld forces."
"They were cruel and would do anything to achieve their goals. They once caused a bloody storm in the towns of Caozhou, but they were like weeds that would grow again in the spring breeze."
Tang Tiansheng could not help but nodded, motioning to leave, and then asked Wei Yu: "Prime Minister, now that the head of the Ministry of Revenue has made it clear, what do you think?"
Wei Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Ghost King Division is a force in Caozhou. If they really have any plans, why didn't they choose the neighboring Yunzhou, but chose the remote Haozhou instead? There must be a secret. I think there must be someone behind the Ghost King Division, otherwise how could such a small local force dare to get involved in the land of an entire state."
Tang Tiansheng nodded in agreement and said, "Prime Minister, the crisis of the Ghost King Division in Haozhou has been resolved, but this is just a minor incident. I don't want to hear the name of the Ghost King Division again."
Wei Yu slowly said, "Your Majesty, since Caozhou is the fief of King Xianyang, why don't you issue an edict to hold him accountable for the chaos that has occurred there, and order him to be responsible for destroying the Ghost King Division?"
Hearing this, Tang Tiansheng glanced at Wei Yu meaningfully and said, "Okay, then I will issue an imperial decree to ask my King Xianyang why a force like the Ghost King Division appears under his command."
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Tang Tiansheng slowly walked to the table, took the memorial and read it again and again, and finally said: "Regarding the matter of the Ghost King Department in Haozhou, it has now achieved results. Among them, Liufeng County was the first to resolve the issue of the Ghost King Department's ghost cultivators, and among them was the style of our Xiayang men. I am very pleased. Pass on my decree to exempt Liufeng County from taxes for one year."
Everyone knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor!"
