In addition to thinking about the new talisman, Xia Fan also took the time to
write a "Guide to the Evil's Response to Self-Saving".
This is something he wanted to do a long time ago.
The above not only introduces the difference between demons, ghosts, and
monsters, but also teaches people how to distinguish evil and illusion; if you
really encounter evil, how to avoid and save yourself with the tools at hand
or the surrounding environment.
In addition, he specifically mentioned the demon at the beginning of the
manual.
Taking into account that the princess has not fully controlled Jinxia City, he
only mentioned in a vague way that once people encounter monsters, they should
actively report to the Privy Council.
The greatest significance of this manual is to uncover the mystery of evil,
and rely on the people to complete the initial identification work.
Master Zhang once mentioned that the alchemists in the Privy Council had no
time to take care of the small evil incidents in various parts of Shenzhou,
but in fact many cases were similar to the experience of the Tian family. As
long as the mei and 魉 are dealt with properly, the people of one township and
one village can solve them by themselves. For example, the use of candlelight
to restrict the actions of the shadow charm, the use of rice paper or thin
cloth to make the ghosts appear, etc.
Even if ordinary people can't cope with it, with this booklet, at least a monk
like his master will no longer have to eliminate evil with experience, and in
this way, the degree of harm from evil can be reduced.
In addition, during this period, the Privy Council was not idle.
Armed with the two "arms" of Zhao Dahai’s squashing team and Li Xing’s
criminal investigation team, Xia Fan has asked the Order to investigate the
suspicious historical evil cases in Jinxia City and nearby towns and villages,
and to deal with the fish that missed the net in the past. Perform
liquidation.
So far, the two teams have arrested four criminals from the past, and without
exception, they were either country tyrants or local ruffians, and they had as
many as a dozen lives.
Xia Fan didn't have much good things to say about dealing with this kind of
scum.
After verifying the body and confirming the facts of the crime, they are all
sent to prison and executed in accordance with the tradition.
For this reason, the government came to the door more than once, asking him to
stop similar ultra vires actions, but he used "evil related" reasons to
resist.
The princess also put pressure on the government on the other side,
questioning why the government had repeatedly let go of the murderers. The two
sides were at a stalemate for a while, so that they caused a lot of topics
among the people.
The locals gradually discovered that the enfeoffment princess did not seem to
stay in her palace like those in the storybook, staying in her palace without
leaving home. Not only did she often travel to and from the Privy Council, she
sometimes even talked to ordinary people. Like that, sit in front of a tea
stand on the roadside and drink a cup of herbal tea.
According to Xia Fan, this trick is the most effective way to earn political
enthusiasm.
The people of Qiguo have never seen such princesses who are close to the
people. If anyone can say a word with the princess, they can talk about it for
years afterwards.
Not to mention the carefully crafted appearance scenes such as chance
encounters at the market, visiting a shop together, and impromptu speeches.
After some classic routines, the term Guangping Princess appeared in people's
chat more and more frequently, and the government was naturally placed on the
opposite side.
It can be said that everything in Jinxia City is developing steadily in the
direction expected by Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun.
...
North of the city, the royal residence.
Several chief officials of Jinxia Mansion were all invited privately by the
Wang family to have dinner.
Of course, eating is a trivial matter, and the series of actions by the
princess and the Privy Council are the major things that cause them a
headache.
Now that Wang Yi'an says to gather together in secret and discuss
countermeasures, they are naturally happy to see the result.
"This day is simply impossible!" Cui Duyou said angrily before he was sitting
on his hips. "The boy from the Privy Council Xia Fan is almost touching my
face, and the memorial has not been approved yet! Didn't the court see that?
Has the Privy Council’s hand reached where it shouldn’t be?"
He was in charge of the case and sentencing prison, so he was the most
affected. There are already many officials complaining about the Ministry’s
openly intervening in the criminal trial authority. This is an important part
of the assessment of political performance. Coupled with the fact that several
old adult cases have been revealed to the other party, the gap becomes even
more obvious.
The servants were panicked, and he naturally felt that his authority was
threatened.
"The imperial court may not be able to see that the Gyeonggi Privy Council did
not deliberately let Xia Fan the dog to test the bottom line of the six
parts." Liu Gongcao sighed, "The alchemists whose eyes are higher than the top
are probably dissatisfied with the status quo. The wolf’s ambition is
obvious!"
"Damn, why did Qiguo become like this!"
"Masters, I don't think the matter is serious enough." It was Wang Qingzhi's
eldest son, Wang Qingzhi, who came to entertain the crowd first. As the next
successor to the Wang family, he can be regarded as a familiar face of the
Shenzhou officialdom. "In fact, my father has long been engaged in the passage
of Qi with the other three members of the Privy Council. They have always
hated Xia Fan's actions. There are two points."
"I guess one of them is your Royal Highness?" Among the several chief
officials, the most stable is undoubtedly the leader of Jinxia City, Prefect
Xiao.
He was over half a hundred years old, but his spirits were still vigorous.
When the officials complained constantly, he was the only one who drank the
small wine in one sip.
"My lord, that's the case." Wang Qingzhi replied respectfully, "Although the
princess is no longer in Shangyuan, she must still have her contacts, and the
person arrested by the order is indeed related to evil. As long as you
exaggerate it a little, it will be delayed. It’s not difficult to delay
judgment."
"Princess, we can't move." Xiao Taishou said straightforwardly. "Not only can
we not move, we have to look at her well, so what's the second point?"
"The second point is that the Privy Council currently has no official
residence."
Liu Gong Cao clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Master Zhou is gone, so Xia Fan
is no one to control! If another Fu Cheng comes, wouldn't it be possible to
press that kid to death with a finger?"
"You are right." Wang Qingzhi smiled, "Unfortunately, the transfer of the
Privy Council is not as convenient as that of Liu Bu. After all, alchemists
with rank 4 and above are all a carrot and a pit. If you follow the normal
process, I am afraid it will take a year or two. ."
"What if you don't follow the normal process?" Prince Xiao immediately grasped
the key.
"That's before the end of autumn!"
"Oh?" Others suddenly became interested, "Is this serious? How can I achieve
it?"
The reason why Princess Quang Binh was able to make a lot of noise is
completely inseparable from Xia Fan-whether it is fighting against Jianghu
gangs or re-investigating old cases, although the reputation has been earned
by the Princess, the implementer is always the commander. .
"Jinxia City needs an emergency." Wang Qingzhi looked around at the officials.
"When a dangerous situation occurs, the alchemist of the Privy Council can
temporarily fill the missing positions according to seniority. This is a
chance to give Xia Fan a fatal blow!"
Everyone was dumb for a while.
Prefect Xiao frowned, "Emergency? In Jinxia City?"
"Yes...For example, pirates attacked." Wang Qingzhi raised his mouth.
"Absurd!" The prefect stood up abruptly, "Do you know what you are talking
about? This is the capital of Shenzhou, the official's site! You are only the
son of a merchant, so where is the courage to say such crazy words!? What
about Wang Yian? Let your father come out and talk!"
Having said this, he suddenly shook twice, reaching out and pressing his
forehead.
"My lord, you don't need to breathe with this..."
"What nonsense your kid said, don't apologize to the prefect!"
Cui Duyou and Liu Gongcao hurriedly helped their boss ~www.mtlnovel.com~, but
they soon realized that they could not stand their legs straight.
"Master Xiao said that the Wang family has nothing to do except salt making
and selling." Wang Qingzhi crossed his hands and put his mouth in front of his
mouth. "Because the Wang family is just an ordinary salt merchant, it can do
nothing about pirates. ."
The prefect felt his vision suddenly blurred.
The other officials were not much better. They stumbled a few steps and fell
to the ground one by one.
"Wang Qingzhi, what do you want..."
He slumped to the ground and said tremblingly.
"My son... I want to borrow your first use."
Wang Qingzhi replied calmly.
That was also the last word that Prince Xiao heard.
