Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 35
This Juhe Tuan Tua Huang County
***
"Hey, you're acting too excited." Lu Zhengming saw that Zhao Guang actually knelt down and immediately laughed. "standing. Mr. Wilayah does not want anyone to kneel.
The words of Eternal Majesty and the Region Master sounded very similar, and there was a sea of voices shouting here. He didn't notice the difference.
"Oh, right, right." Zhao Guang hurriedly stood up.
He understood that Cui Heng might not want to reveal his identity as a God. He immediately adjusted his emotions and continued to welcome Cui Heng according to their initial plans.
However, Cui Heng's arrival still gave him an indescribable sense of shock.
This was an Immortal being that could revive the dead. He actually came to this little Juhe County to become a county judge.
Could it be that something big has happened here, or that earth-shattering treasure is about to appear?
He had traveled all over the world a few years ago and often ate and drank in teahouses. He had heard many stories and read many books, so he knew that Eternity was not easy to come to the mortal world.
If an Immortal were to descend, something big would definitely happen!
"If I can help the Immortal, will I be able to obtain an Immortal-level fortuitous meeting?" Zhao Guang was instantly excited. He was determined to work for Cui Heng wholeheartedly in the future. Perhaps this would be his second chance to change his fate.
Currently, Cui Heng had already reached the city gate of Juhe County.
He had noticed Zhao Guang at first glance. He did not expect these grave robbers to be the "sponsors" Lu Zhengming had found. It can be considered as destiny.
Then, Cui Heng waved his hand gently for everyone to see.
After the crowd saw the young appearance of the new county magistrate, it instantly caused a commotion amidst the crowd.
“The new regional judge is actually very young. She looks to be in her twenties.”
“She may not even be in her twenties. He's too young. I'm afraid he's been targeted and forced to take over!”
“Saying that rebel King Yan will attack us. The head of this new area is probably a scapegoat!”
“The position of the district magistrate changed like flowing water, but Old Master Huang's chair was iron-plated. He may be young, but he will still be clasped in the palm of the latter.”
Many people whispered.
They have been paid to welcome the new county magistrate, but that does not mean that they are sincere in their greetings.
District judges are usually very cruel creatures. The previous county judges were all voracious b*fish who racked their brains to suck money out of the pockets of the citizens. Some have even collected taxes 100 years in advance.
He even colluded with the wealthy Mr. Huang in the county and seized the land of many people, forcing them to become tenants.
For many, replacing a county judge is simply swapping out different people to blackmail them.
However, the judges of this area seemed a little different.
It was strange that he took the initiative to spend a lot of money to invite these hickheads to greet him.
As Cui Heng drove towards the gate, his gaze swept over the thousands of citizens. He saw gray, green, and black on them.
They are sorrow, fear, and evil.
There is not even an ounce of joy and love.
“It seems that the previous county judge was really silly.” Cui Heng could only sigh in his heart. There were not many good judges in this ancient feudal society.
In particular, in recent years, the Great Jin Dynasty has been engulfed in the flames of war. Rebel soldiers rose up one by one. It was clear that they would not live long in such a time, so the county magistrates became more aggressive in siphoning money.
However, after this welcoming ceremony, the people in Juhe County basically knew that a young county magistrate had arrived. But, that's all.
No one felt that this new judge could make a difference.
...
At the Juhe County Office, Cui Heng officially took over all the affairs here.
Due to the wars everywhere, the decisions of the Great Jin Imperial Court could only reach the various districts of the Central Continent. Almost all the other regions now were autonomous regions, so he did not need to be appointed by the Emperor and could take office immediately.
Lu Zhengming became the county representative, and Zhao Guang was also appointed the official registrar.
This is the first step in establishing a district office.
“If I want to gain the trust and love of the people of Juhe County as soon as possible, what should I do?” Cui Heng asked Lu Zhengming and Zhao Guang.
As a newcomer, if he could do something beneficial for most people in Juhe County, he might be able to gain a lot of affection.
Lu Zhengming and Zhao Guang looked at each other.
They both saw doubt in each other's eyes.
This county magistrate seems to really want to do something good for the people of Juhe County?
Could this be what is meant by high spirit and compassion?
Although neither of them understood why Cui Heng did that, they thought about the question seriously and came to the same conclusion.
“Tuan County, Juhe County is located on the banks of the Hong River. This is an important waterway in Fengzhou. With this strategic resource, the people cannot be poor. But in reality, most families do not even have a lot of complete meals in a year, ” Zhao Guang said first.
“Because there is a Huang family here,” Lu Zhengming explained. “The rise of the Huang family comes from an ancestor 90 years ago, the capital's Water Envoy. While controlling the water transportation, he raised a lot of money and boldly bought land in Juhe County.
This made the Huang family, which was originally a wealthy family, the largest family in Juhe County. Until now, they have occupied an area of 100,000 hectares. Most of the people in this district are tenants of the Huang.” family
“Hehe, since then, Juhe County became Old Master Juhe County Huang.” Zhao Guang sneered to the side. “After occupying a large amount of land, the Huang family began to crazily raise their tenant's rent.
“In serious cases, there will even be times when the annual harvest rate is not enough to pay the land rent. At that time, the Huang family would lend money to tenants to borrow food and pay for land rents. Then the profits would enter and gradually turn the tenants into slaves like cattle.
“If the Regional Lord can exterminate the Huang family, you will definitely make everyone in the area clap for you and worship you as a paradise,” Lu Zhengming said.
“This Old Master Huang even secretly has a private army. In the past, whenever a new county magistrate took office, they would send greetings to the Huang family and ask to meet with Old Master Huang.” Zhao Guang continued, “Said that there was a judge who did not go and greet Old Master Huang after he took office. Later, he was found dead on the streets less than half a month later.”
"The Huang family is indeed a good fat b*bi." Cui Heng laughed when he heard this and asked, "The Huang family must have collected a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings?"
"Maybe a lot," Zhao said after a while.
"Then we will exterminate the Huang family." Cui Heng decided.
...
At the Huang family home to the east of Juhe County.
Old Master Huang, in his fifties, was fishing. But instead of sitting on a chair, he used the body of a young girl as a stool.
The young girl who seemed to be no more than 16 or 17 years old, was kneeling with her hands on the ground, her body positioned as a human stool. His weak body trembled as he propped up the weight of nearly 200 jin on his back.
Sweat had formed on his forehead. His body trembled, but he did not dare to move.
The last servant who failed to support Old Master Huang properly, had been chopped and thrown into the pond to feed the fish.
"Old Master, the young county magistrate didn't send a greeting card."
At this moment, a middle-aged man in grey clothes ran over and bowed. "I've also checked the little boy's background."
This is the butler of the Huang family.
Huang Cai's.
"What's the background?" Master Huang asked without looking up.
“I heard that she is a relative of Zhao Guang. He spent money to buy official positions. He doesn't have any background,” Huang Cai said in a low voice. What he found was all the information that Lu Zhengming and Zhao Guang had deliberately disseminated.
"Zhao Guang?" Master Huang sneered when he heard that. “He's a new rich man. He's like a dog. How dare he violate the boundaries of the position of the county magistrate? After holding it for three months, it's time to eat!”
In this era of chaos, it is not unusual for the position of the county magistrate to change every month. Therefore, he was not surprised by the sudden departure of the previous county magistrate.
"Old Master, do you think the judges of this area are martial arts experts like the previous county magistrates?" Huang Cai was a little worried.
The previous county magistrate was Yan Sheng. He came here to prepare for King Yan's entry into the city.
Therefore, the first thing he did was to come to the Huang family to build up his strength.
Although he promised many advantages later on and even exploited the commoners with the Huang family, his domineering martial power also left a deep impression on the Huang family.
“It was just a bad boy who was still wet behind the ears. Even if he started practicing martial cultivation inside his mother's womb, how strong would he be?” Old Master Huang sneered in disdain. “Send a message and have the boy come and salute me tomorrow morning. Otherwise, he would suffer the consequences himself. ”
