I want to ruin the country

It’s no wonder that people don’t believe it. Firstly, these people are not very good at deceiving people, and secondly, people are not stupid.

Could it be that this Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother are like dog urine moss, which will bubble out as soon as it rains?

Just when everyone was doubting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Feng Yunshan became the county magistrate again. This was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"What's this about the God Worshipping Religion? It's pure bullshit and not reliable at all. Their brother Santian has changed his career to become an official. Why should we still believe in such a bullshit religion?"

By this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had actually collapsed, and Feng Yunshan suddenly realized and truly understood the significance of the emperor's decision to have him come here to serve as the magistrate!

Feng Yunshan has been very busy since taking office. Since he is here, he will try his best to do a good job.

In the past, the county magistrate was responsible for collecting taxes and hearing cases. Although it was not an easy job, it is even busier now.

During this period, we had to set up a township management office and a village management group, find a place for the newly established Public Security Bureau, and coordinate where the police stations under it would be located.

They also have to pay attention to agriculture, industry, mining, and so on.

I'm so busy that I have no time to rest!

Feng Yunshan was stunned when he suddenly heard Hong Yujiao asking for a meeting. Why was she here?

Is she here to cause trouble? No, it’s not her turn to complain!

Feng Yunshan invited Hong Yujiao to the second hall with a nervous mood, and the meeting was somewhat awkward.

Fortunately, Hong Yujiao was only interested in her brother's affairs and didn't ask anything else.

"Master Feng, I came here because I heard rumors that my brother had died a violent death.

When I arrived in Jintian, I still didn't get any definite news about my brother.

Has Lord Feng met with my brother, or do you have any accurate news about him?

Or perhaps I've heard a few words from him, I hope Lord Feng will tell me the truth for the sake of our past friendship!"

When Feng Yunshan heard that Hong Yujiao had no other intentions, he put most of his worries to rest and said,

"Yujiao, I came later than your brother, and after I arrived, I heard that he was in the Jintian area.

I also wanted to have a long talk with him, but your brother always avoided me."

Hong Yujiao understood very well that her brother must be very upset about Feng Yunshan becoming the county magistrate. In his eyes, this was a betrayal.

Feng Yunshan continued,

"A few days later, we suddenly heard that members of the White Lotus Sect had arrived here.

I also heard that they had found your brother. I was afraid that your brother would suffer, so I went to find him again and tried to persuade him to stay away from the White Lotus Sect."

Hong Yujiao asked hurriedly,

"Have you seen my brother?"

Feng Yunshan shook his head and sighed.

“To avoid suspicion, I went there under the guise of a deacon, but when I got to the main altar, it was empty.

I thought your brother still had a grudge against me and didn't want to see me, so I had to come back!"

"What about later?"

Feng Yunshan said,

“Later, I asked someone to inquire about it, and I heard that your brother was missing!

I asked someone to investigate carefully and heard that there were indeed a few people who came to see your brother. They seemed to be members of the White Lotus Sect. They wanted to join forces with your brother to overthrow the court.

Finally, I heard that another old Taoist priest came, and then there was no news of them."

After hearing this, Hong Yujiao was extremely disappointed.

"Didn't you arrest my brother?"

Feng Yunshan said,

“There are rumors outside that they were arrested by the imperial court, but that’s not true, I can guarantee that.

A while ago, I received a letter from the higher-ups asking me to report the whole story. It seems the court doesn't know what's going on either!"

Hong Yujiao lowered her head and said nothing.

Feng Yunshan understood her feelings.

"There are also rumors that your brother went to Shaanxi, but I don't quite believe it.

Your brother's roots are all here, why would he go to Shaanxi? That's the White Lotus Sect's territory, what can he do there?"

Hong Yujiao felt that what Feng Yunshan said made sense. Feng Yunshan said again,

"Yujiao, how did you hear about it, and how did you get here?"

Hong Yujiao briefly talked about her past, of course she said what she should say and didn’t say what she shouldn’t say!

"Master Feng, if you put it that way, you don't even know whether my brother is dead or alive, or where he went?"

Feng Yunshan nodded.

"Indeed, I miss him very much, but I've been so busy with official duties in the county lately that I really don't have time to find out where he has gone!"

Hong Yujiao could see that Feng Yunshan's words were sincere and did not seem like lies, so she felt helpless and had to say goodbye.

Feng Yunshan tried to persuade him to stay again and again.

"Yujiao, although I have become an official in the imperial court, my heart has not changed. I still treat you and your brother as my family.

Just live with me and don't go anywhere else. Just treat me as your real brother!"

Hong Yujiao was unwilling to stay, as she still had to go and look for her brother's whereabouts.

"Brother Feng, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't be able to rest in peace until I find my brother!"

Feng Yunshan knew that he could not keep Hong Yujiao, so he had to give her some money. Hong Yujiao did not take a penny and said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Feng Yunshan said,

"If you have any news about your brother and need help, just come to me!"

Hong Yujiao left the county government office and didn't know where to go.

After much thought, I decided to go back to Jintian to look for clues.

Looking at Hong Yujiao's receding figure, Feng Yunshan called two people over.

"Boss Wang, Boss Li, this person is like my own sister. Find two of you to secretly protect her. Don't make any mistakes. Report anything to me immediately!"

At this time, Hong Yujiao had already disappeared after whipping her horse. The two squad leaders said,

"Grandpa, there's no trace of him, how can we chase him?"

"She must be going to Jintian Town. We can look for her there and we'll definitely find her!"

Coincidentally, the next day, a secret letter from Yining arrived, instructing Feng Yunshan to do his utmost to protect Hong Yujiao's safety.

Feng Yunshan did not dare to be negligent and sent a large group of people from the yamen to Jintian Town to protect Hong Yujiao.

Hong Yujiao returned to Jintian Town. It was getting dark and he didn't want to disturb Old Man Zeng anymore, so he decided to find an inn to stay in first.

There is only one inn in the town, which is the inn where Pang Long and his friends stayed.

Unexpectedly, the innkeeper knew Hong Yujiao. She was so beautiful that it was hard not to notice her.

"Aren't you the sister of Er Tianxiong of the God Worshipping Society, the Holy Mother Hong?"

Hong Yujiao's idea moved. The people in these inns and restaurants were the most well-informed. She wondered if she could get some information from them.

She took a few golden pumpkin seeds out of her bag and put them on the counter.

"Boss, buy some candy for the child!"

The shopkeeper's eyes turned green when he saw it. This Madonna is so generous, she gives gold to everyone she wants!

I heard that ordinary people don’t have these golden melon seeds. They are only used in the palace and by princes, which makes them even more precious!

He quickly grabbed it, but said,

"Thank you for the reward from Our Lady. I won't accept the reward without merit. What does Our Lady want me to do?"

Hong Yujiao said,

"Brother, I came here to inquire about my brother's news. I wonder if you have heard any news about my brother!"

The shopkeeper said hurriedly,

"I do know something. What news do you want to know?"

Hong Yujiao said,

"I want to know everything that happens after my brother comes back!"
