"What does death matter as long as the great revenge is achieved?"

Nangong Bifan.

He is an exceptionally talented individual of the Nangong family in this generation, possessing a Heavenly Grade Wood Spiritual Root. He should have inherited the Daoist tradition of the Seeking Immortals Pavilion and pursued the Dao of Immortality.

Given the current loosening of the seal, if we wait a few more years, we will have a good chance to enter the world of cultivation and achieve great things.

Who would have thought that year would come?

Nangong Bifan met a young foreign cultivator and fell in love with him.

The cultivator gained the cultivator's trust, stole the Immortal Seeking Pavilion's most precious treasure, and then disappeared.

Nangong Bifan became a traitor to the family and the Xunxian Tower.

Two years later, Nangong Bifan, who had nowhere to go, learned that the young cultivator was actually the old emperor in disguise. However, she had already given birth to Cao Zhi by then, so she went to the palace hoping to return the treasure.

Unexpectedly, she was imprisoned by the emperor, who even used her as bait to almost wipe out everyone at Xunxianlou.

Under multiple blows, Nangong Bifan died of depression less than two years later.

"Get ready to do it."

The Governor's Office.

Houshan Cave Mansion.

"master."

It was not yet dawn, and the sky was still overcast.

Siqin then called out cautiously.

"Lord Su Can is looking for you. He says it's something important."

"I see."

Chen Sanshi slowly opened his eyes, put away the spirit pearl, and left the cave.

Upon arriving at the mansion gate, Xia Cong was waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and reported, "Master, something terrible has happened. There are villagers causing trouble outside Liangzhou City and they want to rebel."

"rebel?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Because of Linghe?"

The land of Northern Liang.

Generally, there are two kinds of crops a year. After the autumn harvest, there is also autumn plowing. Wheat will also be planted in the autumn. The land will never be left to lie fallow for such a long time. This is also related to whether there will be surplus grain and enough food to eat next year. In the past two years, there has been a lot of trouble because of the Linghe incident.

"Yes……"

Su Can recounted: "According to the imperial decree, after the autumn harvest this year, each mu of land should be planted with half a grade of spirit rice. However, the people refused to cooperate and even threw away the seeds distributed by the imperial court."

"So the prefect of Liangzhou, Lord Wu, went to persuade the people in person. During the process, his men killed the village chief of Qingping Village. As a result, they were stopped by the villagers and did not return all night. Only the constables returned to report that the villagers were preparing to kill the imperial officials and rebel."

"Just a short while ago, General Pan of the Great Halberd Camp led two thousand soldiers to quell the rebellion..."

"and many more."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sanshi interrupted him, and then, without saying a word, rode his white horse straight out of the city.

A civil official of the prefect's rank should have bodyguards at the Refining Internal Organs or even Transformation Realm levels. How could he be stopped by the villagers?!

……

Qingping Village.

Outside a dilapidated house, a dense crowd of people stood, armed with hoes and sickles, their emotions running high.

The leader shouted in a loud voice, "Wu Youde! You have lost all conscience!"

"Eliminate Linghe!"

"Give our village chief an explanation!"

"Otherwise, you can forget about leaving here!"

"..."

"..."

Inside the tiled house.

Amidst the clamor and shouts, Wu Youde, the prefect, dressed in a blue official robe embroidered with a white pheasant, calmly sipped his tea, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

"Your plan is truly brilliant, sir."

The guard exclaimed in admiration, "That's what you call a strategist putting himself in the game!"

"I was forced into this situation."

Wu Youde shook his head and sighed, "If these commoners don't follow the laws of the court, they will ultimately be punished by me."

"Don't worry, my lord."

The guard said, "I have already informed General Pan of the Halberd Camp. When he arrives, we will use the pretext of 'suppressing the rebellion' to kill a group of people. The rest will naturally behave themselves."

Since the imperial court issued the decree, the people of Liangzhou have refused to cooperate and seem to believe that "the law does not punish the masses," acting recklessly because of their numbers.

The village chief of Qingping Village, in particular, was paid by the government but ended up leading a disturbance, which was quite troublesome.

However, the Liangzhou Governor's Office had many rules and regulations, and did not allow people to be arrested arbitrarily.

Wu Youde had no choice but to devise this elaborate scheme.

He first tricked his men into "mishandling" the village chief by whipping him to death, thus inciting public outrage and deliberately getting them to block him, an official appointed by the imperial court, in order to change the nature of the matter.

From simply refusing to cooperate with Zhong Linghe, it becomes "rebellion," which provides a legitimate reason to kill. Once blood is drawn, things can naturally proceed more smoothly.

Wu Youde put down his cup, frowned, and asked, "What was the name of that leader outside again?"

"Qi Dazhu".

The guard reminded.

“Yes, let’s start with him,” Wu Youde said. “Later, let General Pan kill this troublemaker first. I don’t believe the rest won’t behave themselves.”

……

"Brother Dazhu!"

Outside, the villagers said, "Why don't we just break in and tie up that prefect?"

"Yeah yeah."

"He killed someone first!"

"How about we tie him up and take him to the Governor's Mansion?!"

"The Governor's Office will definitely take care of this matter!"

"Yes, yes, yes! If we mention Linghe's matter while we're at it, maybe they'll cancel it."

"..."

Qi Dazhu, who was naturally strong and robust, clenched his fist and gritted his teeth: "Fine!"

He was about to kick down the door.

The earth suddenly trembled, followed by a thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

The villagers gasped in surprise.

"The soldiers are here!"

"Soldiers are coming!"

"..."

I saw.

A group of heavily armored cavalrymen, carrying halberds and kicking up clouds of dust, were the soldiers of the Halberd Camp.

After they entered the village, they immediately surrounded the rioting villagers.

The villagers, who had just seemed so aggressive, suddenly appeared extremely insignificant in comparison.

"Don't panic, everyone. Let me go forward and explain!"

Qi Dazhu was not afraid. He stepped forward and said, "General, you've come at the right time. Yesterday, Prefect Wu Youde came to our village and beat our village chief to death without saying a word. Shouldn't we give an explanation?"

"statement?"

Pan Luo, the commander of the Great Halberd Camp, gave a cold smile, and then suddenly shouted sternly, "A bunch of unruly commoners!"

"The imperial court raises troops and invites immortal masters to protect the people! If it weren't for the imperial court, you would have all perished long ago! Why are you so desperate just because we ask you to plant more spiritual grains?!"

"Lord Wu came here with good intentions to persuade you, but instead of being grateful, you attacked him and detained an official of the imperial court. Does your village intend to rebel?!"

rebel!

The villagers were all taken aback.

Unexpectedly, I was immediately labeled with such a huge accusation.

"Don't be afraid!"

Qi Dazhu's voice was filled with grief and indignation: "General, what do you mean by 'it's just a type of spirit grain'?!"

"Do you know that we are already struggling to get enough to eat? If we plant half of our land with poisonous weeds, we won't even have enough seeds for next year!"
