My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 139 Zhao Wenhe

People saw a Taoist man in brocade robes walking from the shore.

His face was concealed, and he looked pretty and handsome, like a young man.

He opened his sleeves, and two streams of fire immediately shot out from them and rushed towards the carp spirits in the river who wanted to choose people to eat.

"Bold! Which wandering Taoist priest dares to be so rampant? You and the officials! Take him down!"

"It's impossible to go up!"

Li Changge chased after him by the river. When he saw that Zhu Houcong came up without saying a word and was about to burn the carp spirits who asked for children to sacrifice, he immediately shouted anxiously.

While standing on the shore, I saw that the ceremony was interrupted by an unexpected guest.

When the county magistrate saw the county magistrate frowning, he became furious and immediately ordered the guards to take away the Taoist who relied on some magic skills.

But when he heard someone claiming to be a good person, and the person chasing him was the eldest son of the Li family, his expression suddenly became suspicious again.

"Chang Ge, who is this Taoist Priest!"

"Calm down, there is a reason for this -"

At this time, even the head of the Li family and the county magistrate were slightly unable to sit still and looked sideways.

The county magistrate and Li Liwen below were obviously a little panicked, and they kept asking for the name of the person coming.

As if he didn't hear it, the Taoist flew across the river and picked up the child from the air.

The carp spirits behind them screamed again and again when they encountered the brilliant true flame, wailing like a child crying.

There were waves under the Shenglong Terrace, and there was the smell of barbecue.

"This is the superior officer of the Qintian Prison in the capital. I have been ordered to inspect this place. My uncle must not be unreasonable!"

Li Changge finally chased him out of the restaurant with heavy breaths. Hearing that this person came directly from the capital and had the emperor's orders, the county magistrate Zhao Wen, the head of the Li family, and the county magistrates all couldn't sit still.

The expressions no longer held the calm smile just now, now they were all filled with panic.

"I don't know if my superiors are here, but they are far away from us!"

Zhao Wenhe Yaoyao handed over his hand, relying on his background as a Jinshi and being listed in the official department. Unlike the small officials around him who looked like they were facing a disaster, they did not panic at all.

Although the power of Qin Tian Jian has increased greatly recently, it is ordered by the emperor to supervise Taoism all over the world, cooperate with local governments to kill evil spirits and ghosts, and eliminate the evil atmosphere in the world.

But after all, you are just a department that has just become independent from the Ministry of Rites.No matter how powerful you are, how can you cross over from the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs to capture my dignified official of the imperial court!
"There is another hidden story in this matter. I would like to ask my superior to move to another place and allow me to hold a banquet. I will tell you in detail——"

“It’s not necessary to have a banquet——”

Zhu Houcong looked at the majestic-looking middle-aged man in front of him, wearing a sixth-grade green robe, and seemed vaguely impressed by him.

It seems that when he first succeeded to the throne, Yang Ting and others took advantage of the fact that Zhu Houcong had just succeeded to the throne and forced many people into the imperial court through the imperial examination that year.

Later, Yang Tinghe was defeated. In the first year of Jiajing, the government and the public, led by the new chief minister Liang Chu, petitioned the emperor for orders to reopen the imperial examination on the grounds that the country was in urgent need of talents due to the newly established southwest.

Although these Jinshi claimed to be disciples of the Emperor, Zhu Houcong did not remember that he had such a large number of disciples who were doing nothing in various places.

Zhu Houcong put the child down, and the child escaped death. In shock, he immediately cried and ran towards the woman who was tied into a rice dumpling and her mouth was strangled with a cane. Her flesh and blood were so bloody that she could only whimper.

"Mother! Mother!"

"I bear the responsibility given by the emperor to investigate the evil atmosphere and evil sacrifices all over the world. This year, the imperial court has repeatedly issued orders that blood sacrifices to demons, demons and gods are no longer allowed everywhere since the first year of Jiajing! Please explain today's matter in person here! "

This Qintian Supervisor is so unreasonable.

Hearing this, the officials in the county government frowned and felt bad. "Your Majesty, our Qingcheng Divine Carp is not an evil god! It is an out-and-out good god who can protect the people of the city. Moreover, this sacrifice is not an ordinary person, but a member of my Li family. For the safety of the city, I, the Li family, volunteered voluntarily, and it was our fault!"

Li Liwen just finished speaking.

Then I heard a woman's heart-rending shouts coming from the river.

"Li Liwen, you are not a human being! Ahwen is your own daughter! How can you do it just to get a boy..."

Before the woman who had just had the cane removed from her mouth by her daughter finished speaking, the surrounding servants rushed forward again and covered the woman's mouth.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Liwen with strange eyes.

Li Liwen's face turned red, and he was obviously a little angry.

The head of the Li family coughed lightly.

Seeing the Taoist's face growing colder as he watched the Li family's servants bullying an orphaned girl and widowed mother.

He hurriedly said to the handymen.

"A brave servant, you dare to act so arrogantly in front of the county magistrate. It seems that I should less discipline you on weekdays. When the sacrifice is over, I will go to the ancestral hall to receive the punishment!"

"Yes……"

Everyone did not dare to say anything and quickly said they were leaving.

But the Taoist didn't seem to appreciate it and still refused to give in.

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty by Taizu, except for criminals who were ordered by the government to be cast into lowly status and serve as official slaves as punishment, the people of our Ming Dynasty, whether rich or poor, are not allowed to keep slaves privately. Taizu deeply hated the four divisions of the Yuan Dynasty people. Wait, you think that the Han people are like cattle and sheep being sold and slaughtered at will and can never happen again. You talk about slaves and discipline in every mouth, and you don’t know where the law comes from! Is it not that I, the great emperor, are still following the laws of the foreign races in Yuanting? Oppressing your own compatriots?”

Zhu Houcong said.

As for the so-called sacrifices he said were from the Li clan, not ordinary people, he looked like he had suffered a big loss.

Smelling the fishy smell that hit his face, Zhu Houcong just sneered.

I'm afraid it's not that the fish demon can't tolerate ordinary people at all, but that it specifically wants you Li family members to sacrifice boys and girls!

Seeing that Li Liwen was so aroused, he was speechless and his face turned red. The slightly stupid woman next to him was crying and said how cruel Li Liwen was, and even wanted to trade his daughter's life with the divine carp for a man. Ying, the people watching shook their heads and sighed.

Zhao Wenhe knew he had to speak.

"Why do you have to be so arrogant? It's just a slip of the tongue. The Li family is a wealthy family in Qingcheng. They abide by the laws of the times. Those are the adopted sons of the Li family who took pity on the fishermen in various disaster-stricken areas and chose young men to adopt. Girl, there is a bond of guarantee as proof, if the envoy doesn’t believe it, he can check it without any hesitation.”

"I will report this matter to the court truthfully, and Magistrate Zhao will naturally relay your Majesty's words verbatim."

Zhu Houcong said.

And sure enough, when he heard this, Zhao Wenhe's expression changed.

The civil and military officials in the DPRK are all the best among the best. An Neng doesn't know the twists and turns under this adopted son and adopted daughter.

The imperial court's anti-slavery policy was not strictly implemented, just because these wealthy families also played a role in resettling refugees in order to recruit as many people as possible.

It can save a lot of money and food for the court, so as to pacify the evil spirits in all directions.

But as an official of the imperial court, if such a straightforward statement reaches the ears of the six officials in the imperial court, what will everyone think?
