According to the data, among the original four counties in the Broken Domain, Ningxi County, governed by Xu Zhijie, was the largest in area, but had the smallest population. The people were in dire straits and resentment boiled everywhere. Xu Zhijie also maintained a large-scale army, ranking among the counties.
First, when facing the Wu Clan, they were constantly retreating. The Xu family always had to come forward and unite the various sects and Dongtian forces to form a coalition in order to drive the Wu Clan back.
It's just that the people have been fighting for years, and the people are in dire straits.
In this way, Xu Zhijie served as the county governor for ten years. The county's territory retreated two hundred miles, and the population decreased by 800,000. I don't know how many people secretly used the secret method of the Wu Yu clan to die early on the Xu Zhijie. After that, Xu Zhijie
The family finally took action to capture Xu Zhijie, and then found out that he had been cheating on his salary, embezzling military supplies, and even colluding with foreign tribes. In the end, Xu Zhijie was sentenced to beheading and his tribe was exiled to the army.
As soon as Xu Zhijie died, every household in Ningxi County set off firecrackers to celebrate. However, not even half a year later, the Wu Yu Clan army swept across the four counties in Ningxi. After several battles, this area became a broken place.
Because Xu Zhijie committed so many evil deeds, he was given a separate section in the local chronicles, with two hundred and twenty words dedicated to writing about his evil deeds and ending, for future generations to rebuke.
The information issued by Taichu Palace has naturally been verified and cannot be false. According to the information, Xu Zhijie is simply a typical example of an official who harmed the entire county. It is not an exaggeration to die ten times. Ningxi County originally had more than two million people.
people, and as a result, only 1.5 million was left after his ten-year term.
But Xu Waner told another story.
Although Xu Zhijie was a direct descendant of the Xu family, he did not accept the marriage arrangement arranged by his family and instead married a commoner woman. This made Miss Lu, a direct descendant of the Xu family, resentful. At the same time, several cousins ​​in the family
He has always been jealous of Xu Zhijie's talent, so he teamed up with the Miss Lu family to try every means to suppress and frame Xu Zhijie.
Although he was suppressed, Xu Zhijie was still quite capable. He was promoted all the way through his merits, and was finally promoted to the governor of Ningxi County, guarding the frontier. However, the various forces in Ningxi County are intertwined, and the shadows of the Xu family are everywhere. Everyone in the army
There are people behind a general. Even the admiral can't command him, let alone Xu Zhijie. These people are responsible for short-term quotas and embezzlement of military supplies. Xu Zhijie has no way to get involved, and he can't even see the military supplies accounts.
Xu Zhijie relied on his skills and after years of hard work and preparation, he finally won four of the eight generals. At the same time, he also severely cracked down on large households annexing land, investigated several large landowners, and took the land back to the county government.
The landowners were given to the landless poor for farming. Several measures offended almost everyone in the Xu family, especially one of the landlords who had someone who was an official in the Western Jin Dynasty. They continued to impeach Xu Zhijie and poured all kinds of dirty water on them.
On Xu Zhijie.
A few days before he was convicted, Xu Zhijie hurriedly found Xu Wan'er and taught her a clever technique that could hide Taoist foundations, and also gave her several life-saving magic weapons. Then Xu Zhijie said that he accidentally discovered a
A shocking secret was being investigated, and a piece of jade paper was given to Xu Waner and asked her to keep it and then go to Lan Shen Palace to avoid trouble.
As a result, before Xu Waner had time to leave, a large group of unidentified people entered the county governor's house that night and killed everyone on sight. Xu Waner escaped in the chaos by relying on the skill that could hide the Taoist base. Later, she met Yun Feifei on the road.
Killed the pursuers.
Not long after that, news came out that Xu Zhijie had been convicted and imprisoned, and many charges were announced. The people were living in poverty and did not know the truth, so they hated Xu Zhijie to the extreme. And those who had been punished by Xu Zhijie
Those who refused to show favor did not dare to say anything, and those who dared to question were arrested and labeled as Xu Zhijie's accomplices. Less than a month after his conviction, Xu Zhijie was beheaded in public, and he was beheaded at the execution ground.
There was a huge crowd of people, and Xu Zhijie was covered in stinky meat and eggs thrown at him.
Wei Yuan was doubtful after hearing this.
There are indeed many doubts about this matter. For example, the conviction and execution were too fast. Xu Zhijie was also an important minister. Under normal circumstances, it would take several months at the earliest to be convicted, and then it would have to be reviewed by various departments of the court.
, reported to the King of Jin for approval, and then could he be beheaded. It was less than a month since Xu Zhijie was convicted and beheaded, so he probably had something hidden.
But Wei Yuan came here to take Yun Feifei back to the palace, not to redress Xu Zhijie's grievances. To put it bluntly, the fall of the immortal king was much more important than the grievances of a county guard who did not know whether they were true or false.
After Xu Wenwu finished vomiting, he listened beside him. As he listened, he looked indignant and wanted to criticize the current ills and express his own opinions. As soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Yuan tied his mouth again with a Taoist rope.
After thinking about it, Wei Yuan asked: "What did your father give you that night?"
Xu Wan'er recalled carefully and said: "The paper is filled with very trivial records. There are household registration data on land and acres in more than a dozen counties in the county and adjacent to the county, probably for several decades. There are many records of the mobilization of food and grass for soldiers in military camps, and there are business records.
There are more than a dozen account books of the team's transactions, as well as money coming in and out of banks, etc., which all look very ordinary. I don't understand what these mean, and my father didn't tell me at the time. He only told me to find a way to bring them to Lan.
Go to the shrine."
Wei Yuan had no clue after hearing this. At this time, Xu Wenwu Daoshu's time for silence had passed, and he immediately said impatiently: "These records may seem messy, but there must be connections among them! We just need to analyze them carefully and find the patterns.
Just..."
Wei Yuan raised his hand and pointed, and the rope tied Xu Wenwu's mouth again.
After talking about her life experience for a while, Xu Waner's eyes had already filled with tears. She suddenly saluted Wei Yuan and said: "My three brothers and two sisters all died in the hands of those people, and they died miserably. As long as my benefactor is
To be able to clear my father's innocence, that little girl has nothing to repay, she can only...can only..."
"It's time to go." Wei Yuan stood up.
Xu Waner glanced at Wei Yuan sadly.
Wei Yuan did not mount his horse immediately, but found a piece of flat ground, first drew a formation diagram on the ground, then placed spiritual objects in various positions, and finally placed a small formation disk in the center of the formation diagram. He stretched out his hand towards the formation diagram.
When he pointed at the plate, a figure appeared in the center of the array, with a fluttering white beard and an air of immortality.
This formation diagram is called Zhuo Shi Wen Xian Technique, which Wei Yuan learned in the art theory, and is used to predict the bad luck of a specific behavior. Normally, the divination results are very vague, and can only roughly distinguish good or bad luck. The accuracy of the divination is
It is affected by the caster's own personality, the quality of the spiritual object and the divination things. The higher the level of the divination content involved, the more ambiguous the result will be.
This is a very basic divination method. The advantage is that it is simple and easy to use, does not have strict environmental requirements, and does not require sacrifices. Nowadays, it has become Wei Yuan's habit to read Feng Shui before every important event, especially now that he has the Immortal Lord Formation in his hand.
The fortune teller is particularly beneficial for fortune telling.
Wei Yuan saw the figure of the immortal in the formation and knew that the formation was completed, so he thought silently in his heart: "What risks do I have if I go to Lanshen Palace now?"
Wei Yuan deliberately limited the divination to himself. Fortunately for Xu Waner, Xu Wenwu came from another world. Although he was uneducated and incompetent, he had weird luck. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he were put in.
After chanting silently, Wei Yuan continued to input Tao power. The white-bearded immortal had been smiling, but suddenly his smile turned into a grimace, his head turned black, a bird claw pierced his chest, and his whole body was covered with pus and blood, and in the blink of an eye he turned into
A puddle of mud.
