Chapter 278

"Obliterate!"

Wu Ming's face was cold. Looking at a woman in front of him, his eyes suddenly lost focus and he fell down into a corpse.

"It's a shame to harm women and children! I'm not going to die! "

In his hands, another scholar like guy is bareheaded, issued a curse, suddenly chewed himself.

Poof!

A cloud of blood came out of his mouth and stabbed Wu Ming like a flying sword with a green color.

"Well? "Blue blood and blue blood" of Confucianism

With a flash of light in his hand, Wu Ming defeated the green blood arrow: "she should be your enemy, right? Why do I take revenge for you? "

In the middle of speaking, a strong force has pushed the scholar away.

"Wuwu..."

Chewing tongue is a very painful way to die. The scholar obviously practiced it. At this time, he could barely move. He twisted on the ground, tried to dip his finger in blood, and wrote seven words of "hate". Suddenly he straightened up and bled from his eyes.

"Boring... Is there something similar to Liang Zhu's bloody plot hidden?"

Wu Ming touched his chin, but he was indifferent. He didn't have any desire to explore. He looked at the scholar indifferently, and his breath was cut off.

[Ding! Your rights have been improved! Please explore the specific information yourself!]

The sign of the main temple appears.

Killing authority, there must be a transfer of power, implies the encouragement of fighting, but also make Wu Ming grasp the hidden purpose of the main temple.

Over the past few days, he has been fighting in all directions. According to the information of the blood alliance, he has eliminated at least a dozen reincarnations.

Even though half of such a large number are wronged and the other half have no authority at all, it is impossible to build a river without accumulating small streams. The growth rate brought by such accumulation over time is also quite terrible.

At this time, Wu Ming didn't know how much his authority had been improved. He just knew that some secret power of the main temple had been released to him - this was just the part he had found out!

"Kill... Kill!"

According to the law that yamen officers always arrive at the scene last, even though Wu and Ming are busy killing people in the market, their actions are rampant to the extreme, and then the sound of tolerance footsteps comes.

"Has Dazhou been eroded so far?"

However, Wu Ming sighed and turned away from the city wall carelessly against the flesh of the bloody alliance leader.

This leap of several Zhang's lightness skill made the Yamcha yamen servant who came after him dumbfounded and dare not catch up with him.

After all, they are only the officials of a small county, but they live in a mess. They are really afraid of such vicious bandits.

"At the time of the founding of the people's Republic or the rise of the dynasty, no matter what kind of bandits, the powerful men would not dare to kill the officials openly. The people in the public sector would have enough courage. Once they drink, the demons and monsters would be discouraged by three points first... But now..."

Seeing a leaf and knowing the autumn is just one aspect, which has made Wu Ming know that the situation in this county, even in the nearby counties, is not optimistic.

"I can't imagine that the Shengjing plain, which used to be fertile and full of fertile land, has not been completed like this now..."

Looking at the wasteland and the crisscross ravines not far away, he sighed again.

pretty good!

This is Shangzhou, even the base camp of the Shang Dynasty, a small County near Shengjing in Shijue pass!

Wu Ming had been here once before. He revisited his hometown 300 years later, only to see the ruins.

The original trees, grass and fertile already disappeared, only a deep loess gully, just like the scar of the earth, no breath of life.

When the wind blows a little, the sand will fly away and the rocks will block out the sky and the sun.

There is no doubt that this is a bad place! Jedi!

"In those days, when the big business went against the sky, the big earth dragon was hurt and damaged the earth's atmosphere. One of them is that! When the twelve Jin people crashed into Shengjing, they were filled with evil spirit. There was no grass in a hundred Li area, and it would not change for three hundred years

"With these two things, Shangzhou's status dropped immediately after the end of the Shang Dynasty, and even the total yield per mu of the whole Prefecture in one year was not as good as that of the other two or three counties! It's really a poor place

"Dazhou naturally abandoned Shengjing and established a new capital. Instead, he regarded it as a place of evil. In the past few decades, even if officials were relegated, they would rather go to southern Xinjiang or Northern Wilderness than come here! Gradually it became a place of exile... "

"The county just now is far from any big town in chufeng County..."

"But thanks to this bad reputation, the bandits also know that there is no oil and water here. If the army doesn't come here to eat, there are not many wars and chaos. It's a blessing in disguise to some extent?"

……

Looking back on these changes, Wu Ming's face was filled with sigh.

"But... What is the reason why the powerful generals of the strange news department of the imperial court came here?"

This news is still confidential from Li Zongyi of Qianhu. Moreover, this person must have found some clues. He is willing to quit. He does not hesitate to offend Xie's family directly, but also wants to take Xie Baoyu and Xie linger in exchange for quitting the mission.

However, although the idea is good, after Wu Ming found out, he can only get out of the game.

"Strange news department of the imperial court..."

According to Wu Ming's inquiry, this is the Yamen established during the reign of King Zhou. On the surface, it is a small department that sends people to travel around the world and collect anecdotes. But in fact, it secretly attracts a lot of strange people and scholars. It has the flavor of "six gates" and "East Hall". Its main purpose is to seek and spy out information about reincarnation.

"Why is there a big killing weapon that the LORD God has wiped out? These can only be in vain..."

Wu Ming had some doubts. If he found that there were such unstable factors in his rule when his country was strong, it would be reasonable to send people to inquire.

But now, when the world is in chaos, it's still so hard to pursue. Even this time, it's necessary to mobilize the elite and strong generals of various states to take joint actions. How can it all have a kind of "unreasonable" flavor.

"It seems that... Li Zongyi's conjecture is very correct. Behind the strange news department, there are not only the imperial court, but also the backstage agents of all parties!"

As long as you have a blessed place, you can become a family for thousands of years!

In this way, there are more than six levels of great powers to suppress Qi Yun, which is naturally enough to compete with the imperial court.

At this point, not to mention.

"Is it the imperial court who wants to do something, or the promotion of many aristocratic families?"

Although there are many factions in the world and a hundred schools are singing together, the Department of strange news is a member of the imperial court. Without the royal family's nod, it would not have been so popular.

"Maybe it's a joint operation, and the imperial court also agrees, and is happy to see it succeed?"

Wu Ming pursed his lips with a playful smile: "in Shangzhou, is it related to the main temple?"

With that in mind, I immediately set out on my way.

If there is no accident, there should be a designated contact point in front of us.

……

Dozens of miles ahead of Xiaoxian, there was a small post station in the capital of the former dynasty.

It was also an important hub connecting all parts of the Empire.

It is through this post system that the appointment of the imperial court can be passed on and down, which is the basis of unification.

However, in the later period of the dynasty, it was easy to become a place of official corruption and extortion, which made the post Cheng miserable and aggravated the burden of the court.

Wu Ming remembers that the emperor Chongzhen in his previous life decided to abolish the post station only when he saw the malpractice. However, there was a problem in the implementation. What's more, Li Zicheng, a laid-off salaried employee, came out... Then there was no such thing

"But... This is also the last place. Further on, we'll arrive at Shengjing. There's no grass left. No mice can survive..."

Wu Ming walked into a small post station.

This post station is also very small. There is a yellow wind outside, and the boards on all sides vibrate, whistling and leaking. It has a crumbling smell.

After entering, the first thing to enter is a small hall, with wing rooms on both sides, and the sound of cattle and horses in the backyard. It's just feeble. You don't need to look at it to know that it's very thin.

An old official with a hunchback came up and glanced at Wu Ming with his muddy eyes. He asked weakly, "excuse me, is that the adult here? Do you have a certificate to seal it?"

According to the court's law, only officials could use the post station. However, at this time, the use of power for personal gain prevailed, and any yamen could open a certificate, allowing relatives to occupy the resources of the Zhou court, and extorting in all ways, which made the post stations unable to make ends meet.

Of course, Wu Ming has no certificate.

Even if there is one, I don't know whether the imperial court will recognize it!

Then he thought about it and threw out a token.

On the front side is a Jai canthus, with teeth and claws open. On the back side is the inscription of "Da Zhou Yi Wen Si, under the command of a hundred families Zheng Jun", and there is also a seal trace. The shape is very ancient.

"It's a hundred households, please!"

There are seven grades in one thousand households, and one hundred households are lower, but they are also the official bodies of nine grades.

The post station also has grades. The post Cheng at the county level has official status, but the county level and below are still officials. The old man salutes with a bitter smile.

"Well, you should go and have some wine and food..."

Wu Ming walked into the door carelessly, and saw that the man was embarrassed. He couldn't help but smile: "of course... I also know that it's not easy for you. Here you are. Choose the right one!"

Then he put a ingot of silver into the old official's arms.

"How does that make you

Although the old official pushed away, he held the silver tightly in his hand. He saluted again and again before retreating into the back hall. There was a faint cry: "Daniel, let your whole family go to kill the chicken, reheat the hot stove, there's a master coming!"

It seems that the whole family has been crammed into the establishment.

Wu Ming smiles, but he doesn't care about the old official's hypocrisy.

Before long, rice and wine came up, full of a bowl of corn, and a fat chicken, two plates of pickles, a pot of yellow rice wine, overflowing with fragrance.

Wu Ming slightly drank the wine. The yellow rice wine was bitter and astringent, but the taste was pure. When he looked at the old official rubbing his hands, he laughed again: "come on! You too

Let the man sit down, and drink two glasses of wine, Wu Ming just seems to unintentionally asked: "you here, usually few people?"

"Nature is less..."

The old official said with a bitter face: "on weekdays, he can survive with the help of the county, but these days there are many people suddenly... Yesterday, an official from the capital directly led two good horses away, leaving only two bad horses for the old man..." (to be continued.)
