: Great Lack of Virtue

On the attic of the government office, Zhang Xiu looked far away at the six burning mansions in the city, and looked at Yan Feng with some confusion: "I asked you to burn down three houses, why did you burn down six?"

Yan Feng pulled off his headhunter uniform and said, "When a new official takes office, I also set three fires for myself to show my respect for the rules of the officialdom."

"Don't worry, I'm sensible. These six families are all evil gentry who lend money and steal people's fields. Moreover, I asked Ao Xue and Feng Chu to empty out the food in their granaries in advance!"

Zhang Xiu was delighted when he heard this and said: "You learn very quickly. If you learn so fast in studying, it may only take you a hundred years to become a scholar."

Yan Feng's good mood disappeared instantly. He glanced at Zhang Xiu depressedly and asked, "The fire has been put out. What should we do next?"

Zhang Xiu took out a few contracts signed by Jin Wuwang and others, and said, "Of course I'm going to ask for the account. Although they have no food, I sympathize with them as a kind-hearted person. But they have already signed and pledged it, and this food is worth every grain."

It’s indispensable!”

"I've always been the most reasonable person. If they can't produce food, their fields and real estate can be used to offset their debt. Even if they have nothing to do and sell their butt, they still have to pay the debt to me!"

Looking at Zhang Xiu with a fierce expression on his face, Yan Feng was speechless for a long time.

Today his eyes were opened. Compared with Zhang Xiu, the methods of Jin Wuwang and others are nothing at all. When it comes to plunder and robbery, the man in front of him... is truly invincible!!

The next day.

Under the leadership of Yan Feng, a group of officials broke into the homes of the six richest men in Jinhua Mansion and begged for food with the contracts they signed yesterday.

For the six people who couldn't produce food, all the properties in the city were seized by the government. Overnight, they went from rich people envied by everyone to beggars living on the streets.

It was only then that Jin Wuwang, who had spent all his wealth and barely escaped being caught by Yan Feng to sell his buttocks, realized that he had been plotted by Zhang Xiu. He glanced in the direction of the government office with a look of resentment on his face, and was pointed at by the people along the way.

, lowered his head and walked towards Baiyun Temple outside the city.

After a while, he came to Baiyun Temple, covered in sweat and exhausted both physically and mentally. With a breath of resentment to support him, he walked into the main hall.

In front of the statue of Sanqing, there was a kind-hearted old Taoist sitting. When he heard the footsteps, the old Taoist smiled and said without looking back: "It turns out that the gold donor has arrived. Didn't you just send the sesame oil money two days ago? Why are you here today?"

Here we go to give alms again."

Jin Wuwang looked at the old Taoist's back and said with a ferocious face: "Taoist Master Kong Fang, I'm not here to add money for perfume today. Jin was tricked by the new prefect Zhang Xiu and lost all his family property. Now he is in trouble.

"

Taoist Kong Fang was slightly startled, stood up slowly, turned around and looked at Jin Wuwang, and said in surprise: "This is impossible. The fortune I told you is that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. How can it be possible that all your family property will be lost?"

Jin Wuwang said angrily: "But the fact is, all my wealth and honor are gone! Taoist Master, you must avenge me!"

"Taoist Master Kong Fang, God knows that you know and I know about the flood. Anyway, I have nothing now. If you don't help me kill that Zhang Xiu, I'm sure I will expose this matter!"

"

Taoist Kong Fang showed a smile and said: "Donor, please don't talk nonsense. The flood is a natural disaster. What does it have to do with the old Taoist? Moreover, the poor Taoist is straightforward. If you are rich for the rest of your life, you will be the same for the rest of your life.

Fugui, if you continue to talk nonsense, I will turn your back on you!"

Before he finished speaking, Taoist Kong Fang turned his face, and a burst of black energy emerged, followed by a huge ten-foot-long centipede. He opened his mouth and swallowed Jin Wuwang's head into his mouth, leaving a body behind.

The headless corpse twitched twice on the ground and soon stopped moving.

After swallowing Jin Wuwang's head, Taoist Kong Fang recovered his body, licked the blood on his lips, and recited a sin: "Oh, why did the poor Taoist eat people again? It's really a sin, it's a sin, but it can save Jin's life."

Donor, you have been rich and noble in this life, but you can be regarded as a waste of merit..."

Before Jin Wuwang died, he couldn't help but think about it. I died on the same day that all my wealth was gone. Isn't it just a lifetime of wealth... But this life is a bit too short!!

At the same time, the money and food collected from the six richest people were piled up in the government office. Zhang Xiu made a rough estimate and felt that it would be enough to sustain hundreds of thousands of victims until this year's autumn harvest, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he found the accounting offices of the six richest people and assigned them the task of sorting out and recording the money and food distributed every day.

The treatment of victims and post-disaster reconstruction were all carried out in an orderly manner.

After working hard for a few days, Zhang Xiu sat on the couch of the government office, drinking wolfberry tea, and sighed at the account book in front of him: "There are still too few useful talents. If we capture all the teachers in the academy, we can

It saved me a lot of trouble."

At this time, Yan Feng, who was in charge of public security, walked in energetically and said with a smile: "Even if you arrest them, can you afford their salary? I remember their previous official positions were not low, right?"

Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes and said: "Do you still need to pay them? Let's capture them first and use them. At the end of the year, we can find a remote mountain forest and release them all."

Yan Feng: "..."

If you send these words back to the academy, the teachers will definitely shed tears of joy and be forever grateful for your great virtue.

After a moment of confusion, Yan Feng said: "Why did you call me here? Are you going to catch the gangsters who are taking advantage of the flood to do evil everywhere?"

Zhang Xiu picked up an account book and said: "This is Jin Wuwang's account book. After reading the account book, I found that as early as two or three months before the flood, he was already buying and hoarding food. It seemed that he had known it for a long time.

Floods will come and I want to make a lot of money."

"My intuition tells me that there must be something wrong here. You go and arrest Jin Wuwang. I want to ask him clearly."

Yan Feng took a breath: "You mean, this flood might be man-made? This is unlikely. Jin Wuwang is just an ordinary mortal. How can he have the ability to control river water?"

"So we have to capture him and question him clearly..."

Zhang Xiu nodded silently, got out of bed and stretched his stiff body, and walked out of the door with Yan Feng. He said at the same time: "If it is really man-made, there must be some of his accomplices who have not been arrested. If you leave such a dangerous person outside, what will happen in the future?"

I don’t know what’s going to happen yet.”

The two of them were walking on the street. Zhang Xiu looked at the people who were gradually regaining their vitality. Suddenly, he noticed an old man holding a yellow talisman, walking anxiously on the road, and he almost bumped into him.

Zhang Xiu grabbed the old man and asked, "Old man, what are you holding in your hand?"

The old man said impatiently: "Oh, this is the magic talisman of the immortal master. Let go quickly. I have to take it back quickly to save my life!"

"Spell?"

Zhang Xiu frowned and glanced at Yan Feng. The two of them silently followed the old man to a shack built by the government.

In the shack, seven or eight people surrounded a child. The child looked pale and had big beads of sweat on his head.

The old man lit the yellow talisman, put the ashes into a bowl filled with water, asked someone to lift the child up, and poured the talisman water into him.

Immediately afterwards, the child let out a cry, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black water, and gradually regained his consciousness. He looked at the crowd around him, found the old man with his eyes, and opened his mouth with difficulty: "Uncle Wang, I'm much better..."

The old man grinned, put the child back on the bed, and said with a smile: "You are lucky, if you don't get the resettlement fee from Mr. Qingtian in a few more days, we won't be able to get enough money to buy the magic talisman."

!”

Zhang Xiu looked at the puddle of black water on the ground and whispered: "Brother Yan, is the talisman they bought really true?"

Yan Feng flicked his fingers with sharp eyes, and a tiny centipede flew out of the black water, rolled in the air, and fell to the ground dead.

"I don't know, but this child is not sick at all. This is obviously an evildoer!"
