Chapter 72: God cannot be deceived!
"Let's see who dares?!"
With a loud shout, a figure as fast as lightning fell into the field with a loud bang, leaving cracks on the bluestone ground.
All the Blood-Clothed Guards stamped their feet in unison, and the common people opened their eyes and looked over.
This person is Xu Chong.
"Fortunately, we made it in time..."
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
"what did you just say?"
A gloomy voice sounded, and Yang Xiong walked out of the square formation, "You said, I don't dare?"
"It's just a misunderstanding. Why does Lord Yang have to get angry with a group of ordinary people?"
Xu Chong smiled nonchalantly.
“Whether it is necessary or not is another matter.”
Yang Xiong looked at Xu Chong coldly, "But, is this the tone you should use when talking to me when you are only at the sixth level of enlightenment? Aren't you afraid of losing this opportunity to advance several levels?"
"Oh, sorry."
Xu Chong's smile slowly disappeared. "I was very happy to learn that I would be assigned to the Blood Robe Guard. I just had a lucky breakthrough and have reached the seventh level of enlightenment."
“…”
Yang Xiong's expression froze on his face, and he began to doubt his ears.
At the same time, the people also had their own reactions.
They don’t understand things like the sixth and seventh levels of enlightenment.
Xu Chong was like a rock falling from the sky, smashing the ground into pieces, and they couldn't understand what was happening.
But they understood one thing.
Dianshi Xu was not going to be arrested, but to be promoted to another government office.
so……
Were we wrong?!
Old man Xu was filled with shame.
Not to mention that they are wrongly accusing good people, those red-skinned ones don’t look like good people either.
But it is a fact .
Shame is short-lived, and is followed by confusion.
Is Dianshi Xu going to be promoted to another position?
This... what are we going to do in the future? Can we still have a good life?
Similarly, the feeling of hesitation did not stay in Old Man Xu's heart for too long, because he soon became frightened.
What does it mean to "lose the opportunity to upgrade several products"?
Whether Xu Dianshi can be promoted is decided by that red-skinned man? !
It’s over, it’s over!
The red-skinned man came to promote Dianshi Xu, but he and others caused such a huge misunderstanding... He must have been offended to death!
Will it prevent Xu Dianshi from getting promoted?
Thinking of this, Old Man Xu rolled over and changed from sitting to kneeling.
"grown ups!!"
"This matter was caused by this old man alone, and has nothing to do with Xu Dianshi!"
"I am a blind dog and a deaf pig, and I have wrongly accused you!"
"If you want to kill me, come at me!"
"I beg you, old man!"
Bang, bang, bang——
Old man Xu kowtowed continuously.
At this point, the others also reacted.
They have the same mental journey as Old Man Xu.
From shame, to confusion, and now to fear.
Then there was a chorus of kowtows.
Indeed, they were afraid that without Xu Chong, Canglong would return to being the same as before.
After all, once you have experienced the good life, who would want to live a hard life again?
This is also the reason why they dare to risk their lives after the misunderstanding.
But for these people, compared with their own interests being damaged, they are more afraid of causing damage to the interests of others because of their own reasons.
Even if it wasn't Xu Chong, it would probably be the same if someone else came.
This is something that all simple people have in common.
Can't say it's very good, but it's definitely not bad.
"Master Yang, it's just a misunderstanding."
Xu Chong looked at me impartially, his face solemn, "Is my worth not worth such a small misunderstanding?"
Yang Xiong looked at Xu Chong deeply, as if trying to see something from his face.
The two looked at each other in silence.
The scene of thousands of people kowtowing became their complete backdrop.
After a long while, Yang Xiong finally nodded: "You are right, it is just a misunderstanding. How can it be more important to recruit an excellent subordinate?"
The word "recruit" was emphasized heavily.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Xu Chong clasped his fists and bowed.
An exchange of interests was achieved silently.
For Yang Xiong, killing a thousand people was nothing, as they were all ordinary people. Even if they were charged with treason, it would not bring him any credit or contribution.
If it was just to vent one's anger, it could not be compared with recruiting Xu Chong.
The seventh level of enlightenment...
It seems like less than two months?
If you really want to count, even compared to the geniuses from the big families in Beijing, he is only a few points behind.
With such terrifying martial arts talent, it is impossible to subdue him, but even if you just give him face, it may play a huge role in the future.
"It's possible that my promotion to a centurion will fall on his shoulders..."
"Never mind, they are just a bunch of lowly people. If we really kill them all, there will definitely be censors who will impeach them."
As long as people listen to advice, everything will be easy to deal with, especially if they listen to their own advice.
The more Yang Xiong thought about it, the more relieved he felt.
The anger disappeared unknowingly.
At this time, Xu Chong had already turned around: "Everyone get up, everything is fine."
With the words 'It's alright', everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Old man Xu stood up first and looked at Xu Chong with shame on his face: "Master Xu, I, an old man..."
"It's just a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart."
Xu Chong waved his hand, then glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Today, I will go to the capital with Lord Yang to take up my post. I don't have anything good to leave for the folks, so I'll just leave a few words."
After saying this, Xu Chong turned around again, walked through the Blood-Clothed Guards formation, passed Yang Xiong, and went straight up the steps to the county government gate.
On the pillars on both sides of the steps are hung the masterpieces of the former county magistrate Wu Wenjing.
The government office has a Huangtang, which has brought great blessings to the ancient and modern times.
The canglong adds to the beautiful scenery, benefits the people and the country and brings good fortune.
Xu Chong walked forward and rubbed his hands. Under the precise control of the Baoyang Gong force, the gold lacquer on which the words were written fell off and returned to his palm.
Then he put his fingers together like a knife and started carving directly on the wooden plaque with the gold lacquer powder.
Yang Xiong followed along curiously.
"Your salary and benefits are the blood and sweat of the people...hiss!"
Yang Xiong took a breath of cold air.
Xu Chong has good talent, but his ambition... is it too high?
You are just a Dianshi, not a royal family member, not a civil servant, how dare you leave a note in such a tone...
Before he could speak out to stop him, Xu Chong had already walked to the other side and did the same thing.
"It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive God..."
Yang Xiong's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked at Xu Chong who had just stopped.
For some reason, these sixteen powerful characters actually made him feel as if he was in the presence of a god...
But there was nothing unusual about Xu Chong, everything was normal.
Looking at those sixteen words again, the feeling just now completely disappeared.
Is it an illusion?
Yang Xiong shook his head and didn't care too much.
Thanks to his second level of Tongmai realm, he was the only one in the field who noticed anything unusual. The other Blood Robe Guards didn't feel anything, let alone the ordinary people.
They have been completely immersed in the meaning of these sixteen words themselves.
They don't feel anything about the eight words "Your salary and benefits are the fat and blood of the people."
But when the line "It is easy to abuse the people, but hard to deceive God" came out, anyone who could read would feel red in the eyes and feel a blockage in the throat.
Those who are illiterate also feel sad after hearing the news from others.
"Everyone, Xu Chong... is gone."
Xu Chong stood on the steps and bowed slowly.
This bow is for those stubborn people who believe that he is a great official and a great man.
Thanks to the time travel, Canglong provided him with a high starting point.
"Xu Fugui from Canglong County - Farewell, Mr. Xu!"
Old Man Xu took the lead and returned the greeting.
The rest all followed.
"——Farewell, Master Xu!"
