Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 267 Throwing an iron stick is considered killing the evil dragon

"Oh, that evildoer is just a scapegoat, and the lightning-inducing technique is just a simple trick..."

Neiwei repeated Xu Jinyu's thoughts expressionlessly, picking out what he could say.

The county magistrate almost vomited blood, which meant that he had been deceived from the beginning.

The man holding the talisman ashes and copper coins also came back: "Sir, my talisman ashes..."

"Oh, that talisman ash is actually an antidote. Your wife is not sick at all. The so-called illness is caused by poisoning by this Taoist priest." The inner guard continued to explain expressionlessly.

"Snapped!"

The man dropped the thing in his hand and rushed towards the Taoist priest with anger on his face.

"My wife is fine, why did you poison her?"

"Of course it's to defraud money! How much did you spend to get this talisman?"

"Five taels of silver is all my family's savings."

"Okay, my father's illness was similar to your wife's. Was it also poisoned by this Taoist priest?" A young man said angrily, pointing at the Taoist priest.

[Yes! It's a pity that your father was poisoned to death because you didn't have enough money.]

Internal security: “…”

There was one more angry citizen.

Following Xu Jinyu's voice and the inner guards' explanation, the angry people overwhelmed the Taoist priest.

If the inner guards had not acted quickly, it would be a question whether the Taoist priest would still be alive.

The next thing was simple. The Taoist temple was sealed off and all the Taoists in the temple were thrown into jail. These Taoists would do anything to make money, and each of them had a life on their hands.

Officials from top to bottom in the county government are more or less involved.

After dealing with matters in Gaoyuan County, Xu Jinyu and his team were on the road again, continuing to head towards the seaside.

That day, they arrived at the bank of a big river. Several people got off the carriage and prepared to cross the river. However, before they reached the dock, they were stopped by a group of yamen runners armed with swords.

"The master is slaying demons and monsters. You are not allowed to cross the river now. Come back tomorrow."

[Demon slaying? Changing the channel? ]

Xu Jinyu's doubts are everyone's doubts.

When Ren Changfeng heard this, he became even more furious. He had just dealt with a fake Taoist priest, and now here comes a fake monk!

Because of the Ci'en Temple incident, all the Taoists and monks in the capital were dealt with, so why is it still the same in the local area?

Restraining his anger, Ren Changfeng stuffed a piece of silver into the hand of the yamen runner and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with the evil dragon? Please tell me about it, young man."

The yamen runner shook the silver in his hand, revealed a satisfied smile, and then said to Ren Changfeng: "It's nothing. Since last year, this river has been bursting its banks, drowning hundreds of people. The master said that it was caused by an evil dragon. As long as the evil dragon is killed, everything will be fine."

Ren Changfeng covered his chest with his hands. Hundreds of people were drowned, and the court had no idea about it. Moreover, what was a master? If anyone dared to mention the word "master" in front of him, Ren Changfeng would jump up and slap that person in the face.

There are no masters in this world, they are all liars! Liars!

But now...

Ren Changfeng stuffed another piece of silver into the yamen runner's hand and said, "I wonder if I can see the master's heroic figure up close?"

The bailiff was even more satisfied and stepped aside to allow Ren Changfeng and the others to watch the master slay the evil dragon.

The master was seen wearing a cassock, standing behind a platform, muttering something, then he picked up an iron rod and threw it into the river.

The iron rod sank as soon as it was thrown into the water. The master then began to fight with the invisible dragon for three hundred rounds with dancing and gesticulations, until he stopped with a pale face and sweat all over his forehead.

The young monks around him immediately stepped forward, some wiped their sweat, some fanned themselves, and a man in the official uniform of a prefect stood up and thanked the master enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Master, for killing the evil dragon. You have worked hard!"

[How could it not be hard? The master saved three female donors last night! ]

Princess Wuyang looked at Xu Jinyu curiously: What does it mean to have saved three female donors?

Ren Changfeng's chest tightened, and he knew that it was another liar.

The prefect continued to talk to the master: "I wonder if the river will burst again after this ritual?"

The master pondered for a while before saying, "I can't be sure either, but if the river bursts its banks, it must be caused by an evil dragon. You can ask me to come when the time comes."

[Next, throw another iron rod. How could such a trick fool a prefect? ​​Are the brains of these officials all muddled? ]

[The magistrate of Gaoyuan County was deceived. The deceiver put in a lot of effort and put on a show. This one didn’t even need to act, but the magistrate believed it.]

Xu Jinyu was simply stunned. The chief of a continent was such a fool. How could he pass the imperial examination and be promoted to the position of prefect?

Ren Changfeng was not going to endure it any longer, so he revealed his identity and brought the monk and the prefect in front of him.

Seeing Ren Changfeng, the governor of Yizhou was very calm and said directly, "Master Ren, I am killing the evil dragon. I don't know what I did wrong to make Master Ren fight with me like this."

As the governor of a continent, the governor of Yizhou certainly knew Ren Changfeng. He also knew that Ren Changfeng was inspecting the local area on behalf of Tian, ​​so he was not surprised to see Ren Changfeng.

Instead, he questioned Ren Changfeng why he attacked him.

At this moment, Ren Changfeng really wanted to pry open the prefect's brain to see what was inside.

Of course he couldn't do that, so he just asked coldly, "Oh, where's the evil dragon you killed?"

The monk who was also pressed to his knees on the ground raised his head and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know that the so-called evil dragon is the resentment of the drowned people. It has no form and no substance. After being killed, it will dissipate between heaven and earth."

[It means that whether the beheading is done or not is up to this monk, and where the evil dragon is is also up to the monk. The main point is that he can make something out of nothing.]

Ren Changfeng was too lazy to debate with a monk. He could just kill such a deceitful monk. Rubbing his forehead, Ren Changfeng looked at the prefect of Yizhou and asked, "Where is the cement sent last year? With the cement, how can the river burst its banks again and again?"

"Cement? What cement?"

The prefect of Yizhou simply answered without knowing anything.

“You don’t know cement?”

Upon hearing this, Ren Changfeng was even more furious. How could this prefect be such a magistrate? Because this river often bursts its banks, His Majesty had seized some cement from the Ministry of Works and sent it to Yizhou, so that the people of Yizhou would no longer suffer from the suffering of river bursting its banks. Now you tell me you don't know cement.

So was it that the cement was not delivered at all, or did the prefect swallow the cement and pretend to be ignorant?

Ren Changfeng glanced at Xu Jinyu secretly.

And Xu Jinyu did not disappoint Ren Changfeng's expectations.

[Cement has gone beyond the Ministry of Industry and beyond the capital.]

Ren Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and he said that there was no other cutie who would dare to commit corruption and abuse of power under the nose of Lord Xu.

[But after it was transported to Yizhou, it was transported to the back garden of the Yizhou prefect, where an artificial lake, a greenhouse, cement piers, and so on were built for the prefect. Anyway, it was not used on the river.]

[So the prefect of Yizhou is playing dumb!]

"What is cement? I really don't know."

The prefect of Yizhou spoke with absolute certainty, without any hesitation.

Ren Changfeng was so angry that he kicked the prefect of Yizhou.

"You are playing dumb with me! The officials from the Ministry of Industry watched the cement being transported into Yizhou. You mean to say that the officials from the Ministry of Industry are lying."

The prefect of Yizhou was kicked to the ground and was equally angry: "You said you didn't know. You embezzled the cement and you blame me."

"What! You bastard, you embezzled cement and you still don't admit it."

Ren Changfeng rolled up his sleeves. He was determined to teach this bastard a lesson.

[Ah... The governor of Yizhou really doesn't know anything about cement. He is just a puppet in public.]
