one step closer to the end

"The three major powers? Military power, imperial power, and the right to speak..."

"Haha~ Three powers, you said two things wrong, you should figure out the meaning of 'rebellion season'..."

Chapter 1249

A crisp autumn morning...

The common people in Luoyang City are used to getting up early, working early in the morning, farming, and studying, but the "Cross Street" in Pinglefang is overcrowded, all surrounded by Zhao Guanren's new house, stretching their heads and tiptoes Eat melons and watch the excitement.

"Ding ding ding..."

An octagonal brass bell strung with red wires was hung in a large circle around the courtyard wall, making it crisp and melodious when the wind blows. It was a courtyard, but the ground was painted with a huge talisman array with gold lacquer.

"Who read it, what is written on it..."

The people who eat melons are clamoring. Several craftsmen are changing the hole into a door opening. The moon gate in the inner courtyard has also installed a wooden door. Notice in black and white.

"Hmm~ Luozhou Fu Town Demon Commander respectfully informs you that there have been little demons running around and committing crimes recently, causing disasters in the village..."

A scholar read aloud: "I specially opened this courtyard, and set up a large formation of Tiangang to subdue demons. Anyone who has a bewitched and hysterical person in the family can be sent to this courtyard to exorcise evil spirits, idlers, etc., and those who are in good health are not allowed." Entering, anyone who provides clues to dormant demons will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!"

"Oh! This is a newly opened Yamen, which is dedicated to dealing with evil spirits..."

"Isn't there seven doors? Why is there another Yamen Town Demon Division..."

"The seven doors are useless. This is the mansion of Lord Yin, the bad commander. He killed the wolf demon..."

The common people chattered, how did they know that a few young women suddenly appeared, lined up from the moon gate on the side, their faces and hands were covered with red spells, they came to the center of the golden array collectively, put down Sitting cross-legged on a futon.

"Huh? Isn't this the thrush from Yuchunlou, why is she also bewitched..."

A talented scholar recognized Thrush, but someone interrupted immediately: "Last night, there was a bat demon in Yujiang Wang's mansion, and he almost ate another prince. The one in front of her is the prince's concubine. They passed by my house last night. The messy hair looks like a ghost, very scary!"

"No! My cousin is in Guanglifang, saying that the bat demon flies up to cover the sky and blocks out the sun, and sucks human blood..."

"The big one is the Bat Demon King, with hundreds of little demons following him, the seven doors are no match for..."

"Exactly! Fortunately, Master Yin arrived in time and cast a spell to drive away the Bat Demon King..."

The melon-eating crowd became more and more exaggerated, and the rumors became more and more mysterious, but suddenly the courtyard was filled with white mist, and puffs of water vapor surged against the ground, not only covering the demon formation and the women who were meditating, but also spreading a burst of mist. The refreshing aroma can not help but refresh people.

"Yin Shuai has cast a spell, opened the fairy formation, everyone is going to get the fairy spirit..."

A few old women screamed in the crowd, and the people immediately rushed to the door to inhale the steam, but then they saw Zhao Guanren coming out, wearing a white brocade long-sleeved robe, holding three sticks of thick dragon incense, and strode to the door. In front of the incense table that has already been set up.

"All stand up and worship the heavens and the earth..."

Zhao Guanren held up the dragon incense with a stern expression, and a dozen or so women who were painted with spells stood up collectively, folded their hands in a respectful salute, and even the common people outside the courtyard also worshiped together. middle.

"One invites the heaven and earth to shake, the second invites ghosts and gods to be shocked, the third invites the gourd baby, and the fourth invites the Squirrel..."

Zhao Guanren is talking nonsense in a serious manner, don't ask, if you ask, the gourd baby specializes in fighting snake demons, and the Jenny turtle is the nemesis of bat demons, but he also took out two tampered talismans, lightly swept them on the candles and lit them , automatically fly into the sky and turn into ashes.

"All evil will not invade! The demons will retreat..."

Zhao Guanren pulled out the Chiyue Yaodao abruptly, walked to the front of the case and waved it bloody, but when the common people exclaimed again and again, and the women kowtowed and worshiped, he never thought that his stride would be too big, and he almost pulled the egg Not to mention, the question mark beads in the sleeves also suddenly slipped off.

'not good!I want bad food...'

Zhao Guanren was startled. He had just exchanged question mark beads with Chen Guangda, and the "congliang points" in it were only over 300. There would definitely be a mess of weak chickens, but it was too late to pick them up. The beads were already dripping. Rolled to the center of the formation.

"Bang~"

A burst of white smoke suddenly burst out from the question mark bead, causing everyone to exclaim in unison, but after the smoke slowly dissipated, Zhao Guanren was dumbfounded. Tail, looking around with a cute face.

"Little Dragon? What are you doing out here..."

Zhao Guanren's eyes widened in surprise, and he accidentally blew up the "little dragon man", but the little dragon man scratched his head and said in a daze, "You asked me to come out, why did you ask me instead, what do you want from me? It's okay, I'll go back to sleep!"

"Dragon son! The master invited the dragon son down to the mortal world..."

The common people outside the courtyard suddenly exploded, knocking their heads violently in great surprise, Thrush and other women almost wept with joy, and the people around Xiaolong felt their heads were pounding like garlic, but Zhao Guanren just realized that Xiaolong is also a dragon, serious Son of the Dragon.

"Hehe~ I invited your father, it seems that your father is not at home..."

Zhao Guanren walked over and put his arms around Xiaolongren's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Our city is not at peace recently, there are monsters making trouble in the city, since you have come down, then send a blessing to everyone, and bless our country and people in the Tang Dynasty! "

"Longzi! Please protect my family, my family has been harmed by monsters..."

King Yujiang's pet maid hurriedly crawled over, pouted her buttocks and cautiously poked her head over, and kissed the little dragon man's feet, but the little dragon man suddenly raised his finger to the outside of the courtyard, tilted his head and said, "There are monsters outside, Bai Bai The clothes!"

"what?"

Zhao Guanren, whose face changed in astonishment, raised his knife suddenly, and the people outside the courtyard also dispersed loudly, letting out a handsome young master, and the young master's expression also changed suddenly. burst.

"Whoosh~"

Brother Young Master suddenly turned into a white-haired mouse spirit, just like the master of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles transformed, with a body of strong tendons and a slender mouse tail, kicked and shot towards the courtyard with sharp mouse claws Go straight to Zhao Guanren's head.

"Bold evildoer! Look at the knife..."

Zhao Guanren swung the demon knife and was about to slash at him, but the little dragonman lightly raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light shot into the opponent's eyebrows like lightning. He died in two blows.

"what……"

The women all ran away in fright, but the common people were so excited that they rushed in from outside the door to watch the mouse spirit. The body of the mouse spirit kept shrinking, and finally turned into a giant white-haired rat , comparable in size to an adult wolfhound.

"Little Dragon! You still have this ability, I'm sorry..."

Zhao Guanren didn't expect the low score to give rise to a big boss, but the little dragon gave a naive smile and got back into the question mark bead again. When he picked up the bead again, the little dragon was suspended in it with his eyes closed. , The score was also deducted.

"My lord! You are truly a god-man, even a dragon can invite a dragon to come down to the mortal world..."

The common people praised and saluted excitedly, all of them were too excited, and some people stabbed the rat spirit with a harpoon.

"The folks are overwhelmed. In fact, I invited the Dragon King of the East China Sea..."

Zhao Guanren smiled politely and said, "It hasn't rained for a while. I wanted to cast down demons and demons, but at the same time, it rained just in time. Who would have thought that the Dragon King was not in the Dragon Palace, so the Dragon Prince was invited down by mistake, and the rain didn't come. , let everyone watch the joke!"

"Hahaha……"

The common people burst into good-natured laughter, and after Zhao Guanren blew up again, everyone happily plugged in the mouse spirit, and went outside the workshop to show off like New Year's Eve. The family sent them over to meditate together in the formation.

"Everyone is here to cultivate one's morality and self-cultivation. I'm going to go to the government office to do business, and I'll go back when I'm done..."

Zhao Guanren called out a few aunts to maintain order, and rode out of Pinglefang on his own. He went to the tea house facing the street to sit for a while, and watched the common people burn rat spirits from afar. He didn't go downstairs until the news spread almost all over the city. Go straight to the Luozhou government office.

"Good morning, my lords..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the back hall with a smile on his face. More than a dozen officials were drinking tea and discussing matters. Mr. Shaoyin Xu was sitting alone in the first place. When he suddenly saw him spout a mouthful of tea, he hurriedly wiped his mouth and asked, "I heard you are here?" Pinglefang opened a government office privately, is there such a thing?"

"My lord! There is ambiguity in what you said, this lower official is on a mission..."

Zhao Guanren took out an imperial decree from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "The Holy Majesty appointed me as the commander of bad people in the Luozhou Prefecture, who is in charge of investigating and prosecuting the snake demon party. What is a special department? It seems that the function of the seven doors overlaps, so the lower official was named the Zhenmagic Division!"

"absurd!"

Mr. Xu said angrily: "How do you read this book? Who told you the word 'Special Division', you are actually a division of a government. You are a bad commander who has no rank or rank. You are not even an official. What's the matter?" Are you qualified to open a government and establish a government, are you planning to rebel?"

"That's good! From now on, I will work in the state capital and live in the government office..."

Zhao Guanren cupped his hands and said: "You will be my immediate boss in the future. If you chase or be hunted down by monsters in the future, I will report to you or ask for help quickly. I believe there are adults who will take care of it for me. I will be able to sleep well. I am really grateful." Endless!"

"..."

Master Xu suddenly realized something was wrong, and his master hurriedly whispered: "My lord! This mourner star is being chased and killed by monsters, and King Yujiang was almost murdered last night. If you leave him in the mansion, you are not leading the wolf into the house, let alone Your Majesty still doesn't like him!"

"Hmph~ What a mere monster..."

Mr. Xu slapped the coffee table heavily, and said with a cold snort: "This government is warning you that there must be rules and regulations in doing things. You have to inform this government of such a big matter, but the emperor has let you take charge of your duties. You can't resist the order and don't obey it, and from now on, your town magician will be under the management of King Kong Temple!"

"My lord! I have already gone to the King Kong Temple. They said that bad people belong to the state government and have nothing to do with them..."

Zhao Guanren spread his hands and said: "Actually, I don't want to cause you any trouble. I just caught a white-haired mouse spirit in Pinglefang. It was sent by the monster clan to assassinate me. For the sake of the safety of the adults, I will let the town magician alone It's better to separate out, otherwise the monster clan can't find me, and they will definitely find me Shangguan!"

"This……"

All the officials looked at each other anxiously. In the end, it was Mr. Xu who was so cunning and cunning that he let an unlucky seventh-rank guy who had just taken office be the town demon envoy of the Town Demon Division, and Zhao Guanren was the deputy town magic envoy. egg report.

Zhao Guanren's authority was also divided into two. He had to raise fifty demon subduing masters by himself. He only cared about slaying demons and eliminating demons. It has nothing to do with Master Xu.

"My lord! You take advantage of all the good things, and you work hard in a humble position..."

Zhao Guanren said in a nonchalant manner: "But I have a mansion house, axes, hooks, forks, money, clothes and food. You should take care of me more. Slaying demons and eliminating demons is not about fighting bandits. If I don't even have a place to defend , move your head at any time!"

"The old Hyogo in Nancheng will be allocated to you. The government will pay for 50 people, and the rest will be raised by yourself. If you have nothing to do, don't come to me in the future. It's bad luck..."

Mr. Xu walked away with a gloomy face. Zhao Guanren immediately grabbed the person in charge and forced him to issue a notice with a big seal, informing the people of the city of the establishment of the Town Magic Division. Only then did I walk out contentedly...

Chapter 1250

If the writing is not standardized, it is easy to be picked up by people, but no one thought that Zhao Guanren would pick up the words on the imperial decree, and opened up a new government office, and there is no superior department. To use his bluffing words, he only The emperor alone is in charge.

"Master Yin! My mother is seriously ill, and I have to take a leave of absence to return to my hometown. I will temporarily entrust the town magician to you..."

The town demon envoy stopped Zhao Guanren at the gate of the yamen. He was a new official but not a stupid official. When he heard that he was going to be sent to subdue demons and eliminate demons, his deputy was Zhao Guanren, who hated gods and ghosts. He almost didn't cry on the spot. No need, just get on an old horse and run away.

"Hey~ this turtle grandson, he runs so fast..."

Zhao Guanren happily walked into the Old Hyogo. This place was originally the armory of the former dynasty. It was independent of a large square. No one cleaned the backyard, and there was a dilapidated scene everywhere.

"My lord! There's nothing to look at, it's just some junk that the government doesn't want, and the weapons from the previous dynasty are all rotten..."

The two old storehouses took the account books and keys, and led Zhao Guanren to the storeroom to check. It was indeed a mess of old furniture, which had been sold against the law, occupied land, and there were a lot of knives, guns, swords and halberds. It is an antique from Wu Zetian's era.

"These are all fine iron..."

Zhao Guanren pulled out a rusty iron knife and said, "Go to the best blacksmith shop in the city and let them take away all these second-hand goods and make them into the most convenient weapons. Be consistent, no more and no less!"

"Here!"

The two old warehouses stepped in and agreed, and Zhao Guanren asked them to come to Min Zhuang to clean up and renovate everything inside and out. Let people go to recruit master bookkeepers and masters, etc.

"My lord! Here we come..."

A large number of unscrupulous people walked into the front yard, and more than 100 people came in one after another. These desperadoes only wanted to make money, and they didn't care whether they were killing people or monsters. Except for two bad handsome men and their cronies, they could basically come here. are all here.

"The emperor entrusted me with the task of supervising, but Zhenmagic Division also has a lot of things to take care of. The department really has no skills, so I recommended two people to the state government to take care of the bad people in the city for me..."

Zhao Guanren stood on the steps and looked around the crowd, and said loudly: "From today onwards, Ding San and Zhou Quan are the only bad commanders, and each county will add two captains, the chief and the deputy, to be decided by Ding Zhou. Cut down!"

"Abandoned membership?"

Many people started discussing in surprise, Ding San immediately jumped out and said loudly: "What are you yelling about, Yin Shuai is doing business for the emperor now, we should share the worries of the adults, it's almost noon and we didn't come here, we didn't hit them The board is fine!"

"I've prepared the official document to abolish the status and stamped it, and those who are dissatisfied should ask him to come to our company..."

Zhao Guanren glanced at Wei's bearded beard, and said: "Recently, the demons are making trouble. For you and other bad people, it is both a crisis and an opportunity. As long as you cooperate with this department and seize the opportunity, promotion and wealth are not just a dream. I hope you will be loyal to the emperor. My boss, don't go around like crazy!"

Wei Dabeard lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, knowing that his betrayal had been leaked, otherwise he would definitely get a bad guy, but Zhao Guanren didn't make things difficult for him. The vacant house was given to the bad guy.

"Ding San! Take someone to post a notice that the government wants to recruit troops..."

Zhao Guanren sat in the study room that had just been cleaned, and issued a series of orders. The bad guys were even more pleasantly surprised. Not only did they have a guaranteed salary, but they also had a large amount of medical expenses for injuries. The key was to take care of two meals a day. .

"Giving money and food with food and lodging included? This is too beautiful..."

Bad people couldn't believe their ears, but a warehouse was converted into a cafeteria. Not only did they invite two chefs, but also a warehouse was converted into a dormitory, and even hired two bone-damage doctors to take turns to provide security at any time. their lives are safe.

"Hmph~ It's not so easy to share Lao Tzu's power..."

Zhao Guanren swallowed his clouds proudly in the study. On the surface, he was assigned power, but he got everyone in front of him, and he controlled all the bad people in the city, and the role of these local snakes , It is much larger than the soldiers.

……

The bad guys were almost boiling with excitement. Zhenmeng was bustling with renovations and expansions, new furniture was brought in continuously, the two foam-nailed doors were also painted vermilion, and a line of golden characters was written on the left and right—— All evil does not invade!Invincible!

"Hmph~ Ten thousand monsters are invincible! What a big tone..."

A team of Qianniuwei came to Yaqian on war horses. Xia Buer wore a red official robe and aggressively kicked the door into the courtyard. Xia Buer led a group of Qianniuwei into the backyard.

"Yeah! You're pretty good at it, let's join the Monster Slaying Team..."

Zhao Guanren was sitting under the shade of a tree as an examiner. The high salary starting at 20 taels per month, and the condition of not being included in the military household, attracted many people to apply for the Fumoshi.

Among them were many strange men, disciples of sects and veterans of the frontier fortress, so he divided these people into two, those who could fight and kill would be incorporated into the demon-slaying team, and those who could use spells would serve as demon subduers. Anyway, there was no fixed number of people The upper limit, he will try his best to recruit.

"Step aside!"

The Qianniu guards pushed a few people away, and Xia Buer stepped forward and sneered: "Shuai Yin is so grand, he opened a government office, and he wants to steal the business of our King Kong Temple. You asked us Qianniu Is there any Niu Wei?"

"Hey~ Isn't this Mr. Zhang who is hugging the emperor's thigh? He has neglected his righteousness so quickly..."

Zhao Guanren leaned back on the grand master's chair and said with a contemptuous smile: "Zhang Wuji! We are in the same family, and I even bought you a house for you to live in. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. There's no need to bring someone to trouble me. If you want to come, you should It's your general, what kind of a fart are you?"
