Red Dust Daqian

At first, he was just passing by Changnan. Then he went to Changnan to catch monsters and planned to stay there for half a year. But he didn't expect that he would stay there for nearly two years. In the past two years, Zhou Sen built Changnan into his base and rear base, and achieved full control over politics, education, and business.

It was the birthday of County Magistrate Shangguan Wuhou. After the birthday banquet, Shangguan Wuhou invited Zhou Sen and Xiangcao to a separate banquet. As soon as Zhou Sen and Xiangcao sat down, Shangguan Wuhou stood up and bowed to Zhou Sen to express his gratitude. Zhou Sen hurriedly stood up to stop him. What the hell is this County Magistrate doing? He bowed to me on his birthday. Isn't this shortening my life?

County Magistrate Shangguan Wuhou ignored Zhou Sen's attempts to stop him, and forced Zhou Sen to sit down, explaining: "Master Mu, don't rush to refuse, and listen to my explanation." Zhou Sen had no choice but to sit back in his seat and let Shangguan Wuhou thank him. Shangguan Wuhou continued: "In the past, my brother was exiled from Kyoto to the small county of Changnan County, and became the county magistrate of Changnan County. He was very depressed. Being exiled to a marginal town like Changnan County at my age means the end of my official career and no hope of promotion. I was frustrated, and later my county embarked on the path of decadent power corruption and wanton money-making. As a result, the entire Changnan County was in a mess and the people were living in misery. Although my brother had everything he wanted in Changnan County, he had never felt happy and could not sleep well. . It must be that our county has committed too many sins and it is retribution. Later, the dog-wolf demon case occurred, and our county's only son was also lost in this case. At that time, the world of our county was dead and lifeless. Our county had no restraint or scruples about its own behavior, and it became worse and worse, hurting countless people. "Zhou Sen sighed and said, "It depends on who says it. How can Shangguan Wuhou, a corrupt official and a confused official, describe himself as so helpless and miserable? Could it be that you are forced to be corrupt and pervert the law?"

Shangguan Wuhou continued to explain: "Later, two Heavenly Masters came to Changnan County. Fortunately, Wuhou was able to form a relationship with the two Heavenly Masters. They killed demons and killed the wolf demon. Later, they helped me to avoid disasters. Under the guidance of the Wood Heavenly Master, the county distributed all ill-gotten gains to save the world and the people. Although I was reluctant at first, I felt the support and love of the people. I couldn't help but feel proud and fell in love with this feeling. The Vanilla Heavenly Master also helped the county government to catch criminals and thieves, in exchange for the peace of the people. With the assistance of the Wood Heavenly Master and the Vanilla Heavenly Master, the county turned from evil to good, which also led to the people below. With the emulation of the officials, Changnan County is now a harmonious and harmonious place with honest officials and kind people. The county can also achieve the policy of inaction. No need to worry about it anymore. The county is in good spirits and happy. What makes the county even happier is that the fifth concubine is pregnant again. It can be said that the county's mentality and living conditions are better than ever before. I no longer worry about the punishment of the Buddha. Now I have a clear conscience. "Zhou Sen thought that Shangguan Wuhou had indeed changed a lot. In the officialdom environment of Daqian Kingdom, he could be said to be an honest official who ruled by inaction. In fact, Shangguan Wuhou's power had also been hollowed out by Zhou Sen. Shangguan Wuhou was just more accustomed to enjoying this state of inaction.

Shangguan Wuhou continued to express his gratitude, "All these changes are due to the arrival of the two Taoist priests, and their support and help. The two Taoist priests are not only my benefactors, but also my faith, and the common faith of the people of Changnan County." Zhou Sen felt a little embarrassed by Shangguan Wuhou's flattery. Xiangcao was so shy that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and secretly pinched Zhou Sen hard on the back.

However, Zhou Sen and Xiangcao were not ashamed to the point of being embarrassed. Although their initial purpose was not pure and their behavior was not bright in some places, Zhou Sen and Xiangcao did bring too many positive changes to Changnan County in recent years. At least one corrupt government became honest and upright after Zhou Sen's deception and personnel placement, and really pleaded for the people. After monopolizing the ceramic industry, the pillar industry of Changnan County, Xiangmushe did not just focus on plundering and hoarding wealth, but recruited more partners and potters, trained more talents, and the welfare of partners and potters was much better than before. Zhou Sen and Xiangmushe insisted on doing charity, opening free schools, and helping the elderly and the weak. What Zhou Sen did was not much less than what the people rumored and praised. In an era like the Daqian Dynasty, Changnan County under Zhou Sen's control was rich, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was better than any city in Daqian.

The people of Changnan County have interpreted Zhou Sen to the level of a god. From this angle, it is indeed a bit too high. Zhou Sen and Xiangcao have become the patron saints of Changnan County.

In the end, Zhou Sen and Xiangcao could not refuse and had no choice but to accept the county magistrate Shangguan Wuhou's pious kneeling ceremony.

One evening, Zhou Sen broke into Vanilla's room again.

Xiangcao was lying on the bed. She clearly found Zhou Sen had climbed through the window and sneaked into her room. As usual, she ignored Zhou Sen and continued to pretend to sleep. Xiangcao thought that Zhou Sen would not be able to resist coming to her bedside to harass her soon. Then she would grab Zhou Sen's ears and drive him out.

Zhou Sen sat on the seat outside, remained silent for a long time, and had no intention of entering Vanilla's bedroom. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Vanilla finally couldn't help asking, "Mumu, what are you doing? Why are you in my room? Go back to your room and disturb my sleep." Zhou Sen was a little depressed and replied softly, "Senior sister, can I hug you? There are some things I can't say without hugging you." There was sadness in his words.

Vanilla's first reaction was to refuse. He wanted to take advantage of me, and he asked for it so openly. How shameless. But when she heard Zhou Sen's sad tone, she hesitated. Was he going to play a sad game with me today? While she was hesitating, Zhou Sen had already laid on his side and hugged Vanilla with his arms.

Vanilla pretended to be angry and said angrily: "Okay, since I've hugged you, say what you want to say, and then let me go." Zhou Sen hugged Vanilla and was silent for a moment, still not speaking. Just when Vanilla was about to lose her temper, she felt a little wet and hot on her cheeks. What was going on? Did Zhou Sen really cry? What happened to him? She was so sad that she cried. Vanilla felt a little uneasy and turned around to see what was wrong with Zhou Sen, but Zhou Sen hugged her tighter and she couldn't turn around at all.

Xiangcao, who was tightly embraced by Zhou Sen, asked worriedly: "Mumu, what's wrong? What happened? You didn't say anything, and I was worried." Zhou Sen, who was hugging Xiangcao, recovered a little after a while and tried to speak: "Senior sister, we have been in Changnan for nearly two years."
