Chapter 179 Wang Lang: Hua Tuo, save me!
After successfully retaining Hua Tuo, Jin Mao became busy again.

First, we must submit a petition to remove Sheng Xian from office.

This guy is so disgusting. Although he is relatively friendly to the people, he is not on the same page with Jin Mao. His stay in Wujun is always a time bomb.

Besides, Sheng Xian speaks ill of Jin Mao in front of the people every day. No matter whether the people believe it or not, after a long time, someone will believe it.

By then, will they all be cleaned up?
Furthermore, all those stubborn aristocratic families and powerful people in Wu County, as well as some members of the Lu and Gu families who participated in destroying the new system, must be eliminated.

In addition, the six counties of Yangzhou and Guangling County are in urgent need of planting late rice, otherwise, they will really be in trouble this year.

We cannot be lax in the military field. Competitions, daily training, and the latest battle situations in various places must all be dealt with in a timely manner.

The eighth day of July.

Xi Zhicai returned home with his wife Jin, and Jin Gao, Jin Shan and Jin Yun all happened to have arrived in Shanyin County.

All the direct descendants of the Jin family are here.

During the tea-serving ceremony, the newlyweds first served tea to Jin Gao, which was a sign of respect for the elders; then they served tea to Jin Mao, which was a sign of respect for the honorable.

"Ha ha!"

"From now on, Zhicai, you are a member of the Jin family."

Jin Mao said with a wicked smile: "Don't make my sister suffer too much and give birth to too many children; I will reward you with enough beauties in the future, and then you can give birth to more children!"

Jin said coquettishly, "Brother~!"

Jin Gao took action and hit Jin Mao on the back of the head with a "smack". "How can you talk like that, little brat?"

The only person from the Jin and Liu families who dared to speak to Jin Mao like this was Jin Gao.

"Hey, hey, sir!"

"I'm doing this for my sister's sake. Giving birth is so dangerous!"

Jin appears to be elegant, but in reality she is a hot-tempered girl. She immediately said, "I will give birth to many children for Xijun! I am happy with that!"

Jin Mao winked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Did you hear that? My sister has already made a move. Where is your ability to flirt with women?"

Suddenly, Xi Zhicai felt a murderous aura beside him and hurriedly whispered to comfort him.

Xi Zhicai felt very miserable. His lord was a bad person and as his subject he could only suffer.

Jin Gao and others were very happy to see this scene, except Jin Mao who had a different opinion.

"Sister, you have to learn to be generous and learn more from your sister-in-law."

Jin Mao supported Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai is my most important adviser. As long as I don't fall, I will be rich and prosperous in the future, with many wives and concubines!"

"Can you still stop it?"

Seeing that Jin seemed to be deep in thought, Jin Mao knew that this girl was a smart person, but due to her family conditions, no one taught her.

"Spend more time with your sister-in-law in the future and learn how the ladies of other wealthy families manage their harems."

Jin Mao pointed his finger at Jin Gao and the other two and said, "Don't listen to these rough guys. What do they know?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai gave Jin Mao a thumbs up in his heart crazily, My lord knows me!

Jin Gaoze wiped away his tears and said, "If your grandmother hadn't passed away early, how could there be no woman to educate your family?"

"And my old friend..."

Jin Mao thought Jin Gao was thinking of Liu Ye who had just passed away, so he comforted him, "Master, don't be sad. When I left, I definitely didn't want to see you like this."

Unexpectedly, it would have been fine if Liu Ye hadn't been mentioned. Once Jin Mao started talking about it, Jin Gao cried even harder.

"Mao'er, your uncle died unjustly!"

Jin Gao stared at Jin Mao with tears in his eyes and said, "You are right. Before he died, your uncle asked me to promise not to tell you about this!"

"At that time, it was the most difficult time for everyone, and I was able to hold it in."

"But now..."

A surge of anger instantly rushed from my forehead to the soles of my feet, and then from the soles of my feet to my forehead.

Jin Mao never expected that Liu Ye did not die of natural causes, but died in an accident.

"who!"

"who is it!?"

Jin Gao gnashed his teeth and said, "Wang Lang! He was the one who forced your uncle to death!"

Then Jin Gao recounted what had happened in detail.

It turned out that Wang Lang was completely defeated by Tang Ji and others in the six northern counties of Kuaiji, and he was unwilling to accept this and started to think of other ways.

Wang Lang first arrived in Wushang County, which was the old nest of Jinmao. His journey ended before he even started.

If the six northern counties of Kuaiji County still need someone to guard them, then the seven southern counties are completely the Jinmao base, with the military and civilians united.

You are not allowed to say a bad word about Jinmao!
The Shenxin Church will let you know what it means to disappear from the face of the earth.

This is not only the ancestral home of Jinmao, but also the headquarters and birthplace of Shenxin religion!

Today, followers of the Shenxin religion are spread all over the mountains and plains of Kuaiji County. A big part of the reason why Yuzhang County has been able to remain unscathed is due to the help of the Shenxin religion, which has kept powerful enemies out.

Wang Lang tried each place one by one, and finally found a breakthrough in Yongning County.

Son of Liu An!

The subsequent plot is very clichéd, that is, the evil grandson steals the fruits of the salt field's labor in the name of revenge for his father.

When Liu Ye found out, he was so angry that he died!

This is also the truth that Liu Ye didn't want Jin Gao to tell Jin Mao before he died.

It is enough to air the family's dirty laundry once, how can it be aired again?
All we can say is that Liu Ye has a very good eye for outsiders, but he is a poor parent and his family is a mess.

Jin Mao gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Wang Lang really deserves to die!"

"And that brat!"

Originally, Jin Mao had been tolerant because of his reputation as a celebrity, but Wang Lang touched his sore spot.

Then he must be killed!
Jin Gao delivered a critical strike at the right time: "In order not to cause you any trouble, my brother personally killed that guy before he died!"

"Ugh…"

This sigh made Jin Mao feel guilty again, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"I owe you too much!"

"It would be too easy for Wang Lang to die so easily!"

suddenly!

Jin Mao came up with a good idea.

"Where is Wang Lang now?"

After Jin Shan left his post as the magistrate of Wu County, he took up the post of the magistrate of Shanyin County. He knew Wang Lang's whereabouts very well: "Ten days ago, Wang Lang was afraid of your reputation and left Kuaiji County."

Jin Mao frowned instantly. There was no surveillance in this era. Let alone one person, even if a hundred people escaped, it would be difficult to track them.

Just when Jin Mao was getting annoyed, Jin Shan reminded him, "You can ask Bai Shi, he should know."

Jin Mao didn't know about Shen Xin's religion yet, so he was very confused, but he still called Bai Shi.

"Meet the Lord God."

"Get up." Jin Mao asked curiously, "Wang Lang left Kuaiji County ten days ago. My uncle said that you can know his whereabouts. Is that true?"

Bai Shi looked at Jin Mao in surprise. He thought Jin Mao knew everything he had done.

So you didn't notice it at all?
At this moment, Jin Mao's godlike image in Bai Shi's mind began to crack.

"No!" Bai Shi suddenly realized: "How could the Lord God not know? This must be a test of my loyalty!"

So, Bai Shi did not give a direct answer, but instead told the origin, development, and composition of Shinshin religion all at once.

The more Jin Mao listened, the more shocked he became. In just four years or less than five years, Shenxin Church had developed more than 500,000 believers, accounting for one seventh of Yangzhou's total population!

The most outrageous thing is that the object of God’s religious faith is actually Jinmao himself!

No wonder there were so many Baiyue people joining the army from Danyang and Kuaiji.

No wonder there was not a single Baiyue person in the army recruited by Wuqiu Yi in Jiujiang County.

No wonder Jinshan said that Bai Shi must know Wang Lang's whereabouts.

Because Jinmao is their God!

Although Bai Shi has no reputation, what he does in the faith of God is the work of the Pope.

Moreover, Shen Xinjiao is spread all over the mountainous area of ​​Yangzhou, and there are even many believers in the counties surrounding the mountainous area.

At this time, Jin Mao was not anxious about Wang Lang's affairs, but started to discuss the structure of Shen Xinjiao with Xi Zhicai in front of the three Jin family members. In the end, Jin Mao set Shen Xinjiao to seven levels (referring to Taoist sects).

Bai Shi served as the highest-level chairman, in charge of the entire religion, and under him were seven protectors, exactly one for each county.

After receiving God's canonization, Bai Shi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He instantly felt that all his efforts in secret over the years were not in vain.

Afterwards, Jin Mao ordered Bai Shi to find Wang Lang's whereabouts.

The next day.

Bai Shi found Wang Lang's whereabouts near Wucheng County in Wu County.

"catch him!"

Jin Mao said viciously: "Send him to the newly built medical school in Wanling County, Danyang Prefecture, and let Dean Hua do a live dissection study!"

Death is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that it is difficult to even want to die!
Jin Mao believed that with Hua Tuo's medical skills, Wang Lang would definitely not die on the first day.

It is worth mentioning that since Hua Tuo knew that he was going to become the first dean of the medical school, he could not sit still for a moment and wanted to go to Wanling County to select a site.

In order to take care of Hua Tuo, Jin Mao specially dispatched a team of personal guards to escort him, and quickly mobilized craftsmen and doctors to go to Wanling County.

...

Wu County, Wujun.

In fact, Wang Lang had wanted to escape a long time ago, but Jin Mao was fighting on the front line and had been blocking the river, so he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Ever since he forced Liu Ye to death, Wang Lang knew that he could no longer stay in Kuaiji County. Given Jin Mao's personality, he would definitely tear him to pieces alive.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Lang heard that Jin Mao had returned victoriously, he set about running away. In his opinion, the blockade of the river would definitely end at this point in time.

However, to be on the safe side, Wang Lang went to Wu County, Wujun to find his good friend Sheng Xian to inquire for information.

Upon learning that the blockade of the Yangtze River had been lifted as expected, Wang Lang was very happy and prepared to cross the river and head north tomorrow.

the other side.

Sheng Xian was well aware of what Wang Lang had done and the purpose of his visit.

He didn't expect Wang Lang to be so stupid that he would come and ask just for some definite information.

Isn't this courting death?

Sheng Xian is now a man with a twisted personality and a psychopath. He has forgotten everything and only wants revenge.

Since Wang Lang has given him such a good excuse, it would be a shame to their friendship if he doesn't make good use of it.

That night, Sheng Xian invited Wang Lang to a banquet and they both got drunk.

The next day, when Wang Lang woke up, it was already noon.

Sheng Xian invited him again, and Wang Lang refused and stayed for another night.

On the third day, Wang Lang realized that he could not wait any longer, so he resolutely said goodbye to Sheng Xian.

Looking at Wang Lang's car frame going away, Sheng Xian's face was full of regret. Jinmao didn't even take any action!
What a great opportunity.

Sheng Xian didn't know that since Wang Lang left Wu County, countless pairs of eyes had been staring at him all the way.

Wang Lang arrived at the Wuxian Wharf of Zhenze Lake and saw a large transport ship parked on the lake, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

This is a type of boat specially provided by the Jinmao Army and is rarely seen among civilians. Since it appeared at the dock, it means that the river has indeed been unsealed.

Wang Lang relaxed and rented an entire ship, then boarded with his entourage.

He was going to start from Wu County and head north, cross the Huai River, and arrive at his hometown in Donghai County, Xuzhou.

Once he gets there, no matter how powerful Jinmao is, he won’t be able to control him!
As night fell, Wang Lang was thinking about good things, but he didn't notice that the direction of the boat had changed!
The next morning.

Wang Lang got up, went outside the boat and was completely stunned!

The undulating mountains and forests not far away hinted at the danger.

You know, you can't see any high mountains or forests all the way north, so we must have taken the wrong road!
"Somebody come!"

"Someone come quickly!"

Wang Lang shouted anxiously, but no one responded.

He rushed around on the boat and finally found the bodies of his followers piled in a cabin. Judging from the degree of rigidity, they had been dead for some time.

A chill rose from the soles of his feet to his heart. Wang Lang thought back to last night and felt as if he had slept too soundly and didn't hear any sound.

"It's a black ship!"

Wang Lang thought he had figured it all out: "It's just money, the Wang family of Donghai has plenty of it!"

So, when Wang Lang found the original boatman approaching with a group of people, he shouted: "Name a price!"

Unexpectedly, the group of people on the opposite side seemed to be deaf and did not hear what Wang Lang said at all. They came forward and tied him up.

"How much do you want?"

"Ten thousand?"

"One hundred thousand!"

"million!!?"

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Wang Lang was extremely anxious, but on the surface he sneered and said, "You win!"

"Ten million is ten million!"

"As long as you send me back to Donghai County, I will give you 20 million!"

Unexpectedly, the other party still did not move.

Only then did Wang Lang realize the seriousness of the matter and shouted loudly.

"Oh!"

The group seemed to think Wang Lang was too noisy, so they knocked him unconscious before leaving.

three days later.

Wang Lang looked around with horror on his face.

Along the way, we changed five or six groups of people one after another. These people were very taciturn and spoke poor classical Chinese, all of which were incomprehensible.

But there was one sentence Wang Lang understood: "God is merciful!"

Wang Lang was sure that this was definitely an unknown cult!
In his opinion, the only person who could be called a divine king was Xun Shu, the previous head of the Xun family.

But Xun Shu had been dead for more than 40 years and did not leave behind any sect.

Therefore, upon learning that this was a cult, Wang Lang was very worried about his own fate.

Being eaten alive is considered good, but if some evil magic is cast upon it, it would be worse than death.

Soon, Wang Lang no longer had to be afraid.

He saw a doctor, which showed that this was still an area controlled by civilization.

This doctor looks familiar.

When the cloth in Wang Lang's mouth was removed, he finally recognized the person in front of him: "You are Hua Tuo!"

"Hua Tuo, please save me!"

Unexpectedly, Hua Tuo had an inexplicable expression on his face. He took out the boning knife and ground it carefully without answering.

...

Wu County, Wujun.

More than a month had passed since Wang Lang left, but Sheng Xian had not received any letter from Wang Lang. Instead, he had received a document dismissing him from his post as county magistrate.

At this moment, all the plans turned to ashes.

Sheng Xian cursed the messenger in the street, and then cursed Jin Mao.

At this time, Jin Mao appeared with his men.

Shengxian keeps trying to irritate Jinmao with words.

The latter just watched coldly.

"I respect you as a famous person, so I will forgive your sins."

Jin Mao said coldly: "But I don't want you to step out of the Sheng family's ancestral home in Taimo County again!"

This is both house arrest and imprisonment!

Since Sheng Xian cannot be killed, then let him be locked up until he dies.
