Chapter 938: Ill-Gotten Wealth

This is making trouble out of nothing. If you let it go and take it away, the "pet" will still be the same pet, and the believers will still be the same believers, and there may even be more. The gods themselves did not pay a price, being lonely and detached and ignoring worldly things. On the contrary, the believers who believed in the gods paid a heavy price.

In this way, the incense will naturally close up.

With Wu Yi's secret help, it is entirely possible for Shen Congyue to kill the county magistrate even if he risked his life. However, not to mention the possible imperial counterattack, the problem was solved in one go. The people need you to do what?

The more drought there is, the more incense is in the Dragon King Temple; the more families that cannot give birth to children, the more they sacrifice to Guanyin; the more frequent wars occur, the more popular you, a master of weapon building, become...

Because I want something from you, I give you incense.

From Shen Congyue's point of view, corrupt officials cannot become fewer and fewer, but it is better to have more and more. In order to achieve this goal, it is also possible to consciously corrupt a group of officials.

This is Shen Congyue's fundamental interest. She has this divine position. Unless he is one of those gods who doesn't care about his own divine position, otherwise, after he realizes this matter one day, he will naturally promote it directly or indirectly. , and this is what Wu Yi hopes for.

After all, the purpose of his coming to the Western Land of the Upper Realm was to disrupt this dynasty. It was not a good thing for Wu Yi to govern the Qingming Dynasty.

There are so few people who can get rid of their own class interests that every time one appears, he will be written down in the history books by historians and set as an example. After that, the world is still the same world, and not much has changed.

To cover up Shen Congyue's anger, Wu Yi took her into the county town. Miraculously, the moon and stars were few and far between. When it was time to do something evil, a dark cloud just covered the moon, and the sky and the earth were dark. It was the dark moon. A murderous night with high winds.

Standing in mid-air, Wu Yi relied on the strength of the dragon's luck to gather and find the residences of several officers without spending much effort.

Then, Wu Yi pointed to a small courtyard in the west of the city, where the karma was the most serious, and said: "Your target tonight is that person!"

Shen Congyue didn't have a fortune-telling horoscope, nor had she the ability to see through luck. Wu Yi told her, and she just agreed and left.

Wu Yi was in mid-air, looking down at the entire Chenliu County, observing all possible changes. Specifically, Chenliu County had three median gods.

One is the Haechi mythical beast that guards the prison, and the other is the city god of Chenliu County. He has a deep Qi and a south-facing government, which is much more majestic than the magistrate of Chenliu County in the Yang world.

The last one seems to be after the county government office of Chenliu County. The reason why I say that is because this person's Qi changes from time to time. He just stayed in the county government office for the longest time. He seems to control the water veins of the entire Chenliu County. Among the three median gods, this one is the most powerful.

Once Shen Congyue has stable believers and her god status is stable, she will be a proper middle-level god. Now, she can only be said to be a ghost king. She is still far from being a stable god. At present, she has only undergone transformation. It's just a trend.

However, if Shen Congyue achieves something today, uses both kindness and power, and really shows her followers that she can stand up to corrupt officials, then it will be possible to transform a group of true believers and lay the foundation.

Chenliu County has a prosperous literary style. Even a small yamen official has a special study room in the courtyard. However, this yamen official is just arty and does not really study at all. Moreover, there are many other things hidden in the bookshelf compartments. Where does the accumulated wealth come from? It's just the people's wealth and their anointing.

The Daji Dynasty was generally peaceful and had good agricultural harvests year after year, so the price level was not high.

However, even so, after a year of hard work, farmers could only earn around two or three taels after paying the seed tax. They did not even dare to buy a decent piece of clothing, so they could only sew and mend it and continue to drag it around.

But this yamen servant actually has a thousand taels of silver in this study room alone, which is equivalent to the savings of an ordinary people's family for decades or even a century.

It can be seen that Chenliu County is rotting from top to bottom. However, because Wu Yi chose a typical government official, that is, the most corrupt government official, it was so amazing. There were many other government officials who were not as good as him, but it was normal for the few to save a hundred taels.

Corruption is serious in Chenliu County, and Wu Yi is happy to see it succeed. Now it depends on Shen Congyue's decision.

Looking at it with a keen eye, Shen Congyue did not use thunderbolt means to directly take down this evil-doing government servant. Instead, he used dreaming as the first step to conjure up many images, all of which were scenes of farmers forcing the government servants to pay taxes and donations. Shen Congyue Yue wanted to force the yamen servant to admit his guilt and then deal with it accordingly.

However, this skill is not of much use. The yamen servant has been corrupt for many years and is already a veteran. How can he be frightened by this image? He just thinks that he is thinking too much in his dream and denies what he has done in the past.

Shen Congyue was also from Chenliu County. She didn't recognize this government official. The evidence was conclusive, but the other party still made excuses, which made her quite angry. There were such shameless people in the world.

But then, Shen Congyue came up with a new method and said: "God is watching what you do. You know what you do, and we and the gods also know it."

The yamen servant still quibbled and refused to admit it.

Shen Congyue made a move, and a wooden box appeared in his hand. Seeing this, the yamen servant panicked and instinctively wanted to raise his hand to take back the wooden box.

There is no other reason. What is contained in this wooden box is the wealth accumulated over the years.

"You are a young servant with an annual salary of only seven taels, but you are able to save so much silver. If you didn't bully the people, how did you get so much money?"

The Yamen servant said: "This is inherited from our ancestors and accumulated by our ancestors from generation to generation. Is it possible that the great gods will not even accept the evil virtues of our ancestors?"

"You're talking nonsense, let's see how I take away your ill-gotten gains!" Shen Congyue was already in an advantageous position compared to the Yamen servants.

Hearing this, the yamen servant was horrified. He broke through the dream spun by Shen Congyue and woke up. He did not see Shen Congyue leaving, and he had no intention of looking at the rest.

He hurriedly entered the study room to look for his wooden box. However, just as the god in the dream said, the wealth he had accumulated over the years was completely wiped out in one night.

The yamen servant knelt down on the ground in a daze, his eyes were blank, and he sat paralyzed from the dark moon to the dawn. Although he experienced this great change, he still realized that he must invite the Taoist Master to take back his wealth. I have never heard of that god, so he must be an evil god.

The excuse is of course to destroy the evil priest, but not to regain his treasure. This is a secret that cannot be told.
