Chapter 211: The Dormant City Lord
At this time, the disciples arrived one after another. Wei Jie announced the meeting. Wei Jie said: "Wu Hao, after Lei Tong was killed by a self-destruction, I ordered all Qi Refining Gates and Body Refining Gates to close and restore the Xiuzhen Sect. You Huangyuan City
The two sects were also merged and the name Xiuzhen Sect was restored, which is great!
However, after you restored the Xiuzhen Sect, you did not act in accordance with the Xiuzhen Sect's rules. You still did things that were disgraceful like the two sects did in the era. This is contrary to the purpose of the Xiuzhen Sect and cannot be tolerated.
Yesterday, as soon as I arrived at Huangyuan City from Lanzhou City, I saw your leader Qiu Xin leading two disciples to work as thugs for the profiteer Hong Xin, bullying honest businessmen.
When I came to your place today, the two of them wanted to form an offensive and defensive alliance and embezzled more than 30 million taels of silver.
Twenty years ago, the elite disciples of the Xiuzhen Sect sacrificed one hundred and sixty people in exchange for their lives in the ancient ruins. They divided it privately and kept it for themselves for a long time. In the era of Wu Hao and Lei Tong,
Forced by the lustful power of the two remnant souls, I was excusable for not handing him over.
You have used some over the years, so you can forgive it. But today, the two sects have merged and the Xiuzhen Sect has been restored. You still dare to embezzle more than 30 million taels of silver, which is an unforgivable crime. Especially Wen Chongen, who fantasized about running away with the money.
, they should be killed on the spot as a warning to others!"
After speaking, he pointed his finger, and a wisp of wind hit Wen Chong'en's Adam's apple, and he died instantly.
Qiu Xin was so frightened that he crawled on the ground, his trembling body like chaff. He held up the storage ring with both hands and shouted: "Sect Master, spare your life!"
Wei Jie stretched out his hand, and Wen Chongen's storage ring flew into Wei Jie's hand. He then took Qiu Xin's storage ring, wiped his consciousness, and saw that there were about 35 million taels of silver in the storage ring.
I know this guy doesn't have much use.
Wei Jie announced the treatment of Qiu Xin: "Qiu Xin served as the leader, did not think about the clan's duties, and became a traitor and thug. He is a black sheep. He also wants to embezzle huge sums of money. It is unforgivable and he can no longer stay in the Xiuzhen Sect. Xiuzhen Sect is now abolished.
To drive out the Xiuzhen Sect, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver and you will find your own way out from now on."
Wei Jie pointed at Qiu Xin's Dantian, and Qiu Xin lost his cultivation and became the same as ordinary people. Wei Jie gave Qiu Xin a storage ring containing ten thousand taels of silver in public, and ordered people to drive Qiu Xin out of the clan.
Door.
Then he summoned the elixir fire, burned Wen Chongen's body, and cleaned it up as if nothing happened.
Wei Jie then changed his tone and said generously: "Although our Xiuzhen Sect has suffered many disasters, its bright future will not be changed by short-term crises. Now that we don't have Wu Hao, Lei Tong's resistance has eliminated the black sheep.
, will soon embark on the path of healthy development.
I now appoint Wang Bei as the new head of the Xiuzhen Sect in Huang Yuan City. Huang Yuan is an eighth-level master of the Immortal Realm. He is upright, capable, and smart. He will definitely be qualified for this position.
Your body of elders should elect another elder who controls money and cultivation resources, and make good use of these 70 million taels of silver for cultivation and the lives of the disciples.
The Xiuzhen Sect wants to move out of Huangyuan City and cannot mix with the market. The houses in Huangyuan City will be used for commercial purposes and money-making purposes in the future. We need to build cultivation houses and residential areas at the foot of the mountains outside the city where there is enough spiritual energy.
The Xiuzhen Sect headquarters must ensure that all of your disciples have enough spiritual energy for cultivation and elixirs for breaking ranks. As long as you are diligent and as long as you have talent, your cultivation speed will be rapid."
After Wei Jie finished speaking, the disciples were excited. They didn't expect that the Xiuzhen Sect would have so much money, and life would be easy in the future. With enough spiritual energy and level-breaking pills, it would be difficult not to improve their cultivation level.
After the general meeting of all disciples adjourned, Wang Bei presided over the meeting of elders as the leader. After the election, two elders were selected to be in charge of money and cultivation resources respectively. Wei Jie felt that this approach was good to avoid excessive concentration of power and should be promoted in the future.
Go to each branch.
Xiuning and Wen Qian also walked in at this time and had lunch together at the Xiuzhen Sect. After the meal, they went to the City Lord's Mansion together.
The lord of the city, Kuang Si, knew Xiu Ning. When he saw Xiu Ning, he knelt down and said: "The humble minister Kuang Si has come to see Your Highness the Princess. I wish Your Highness a thousand years of life."
Xiuning: "Old Kuang, don't come here with these nonsense. Who has seen a thousand-year-old man?"
Wen Qian: "That's not necessarily the case. It's possible for us to ascend to immortality and live forever in the future."
Everyone laughed. Xiu Ning said: "Old Kuang, let's be honest. What have you done in the few months since you took office? You can't say that you have been sidelined and you haven't done anything at all."
City Lord Kuang smiled awkwardly: "It's a fact that I was ignored, but I still did something."
I know that the emperor is wise and will definitely think of this situation. If the princess does not come, the emperor will send strong men to deal with the matter.
Of course, I can't sit idle every day and wait for the imperial envoy to solve the problem. I must do the basic work well before the imperial envoy arrives. As soon as the imperial envoy arrives, I will turn all the efforts I have made during this period into something practical.
The policy plan quickly created a new situation."
The princess took out Shang Fang's sword and said, "Tell me what you did specifically. Now that the imperial envoy is here, show me your clever trick."
As soon as Lord Kuang City saw Shang Fang's sword as if I were here in person, he immediately knelt down to receive the order.
After the princess finished speaking, she asked him to stand up and then dared to stand up and return to his original seat.
City Lord Kuang said: "In the past few months, I have visited all the officials in the City Lord's Mansion and divided them into three groups. One group represents Gongsun Yuan's old forces. The number of this group is not very large, but they all occupy important positions.
That's why they can afford to ignore me.
One faction is the centrist. These people are relatively large in number. They follow the wind and follow whoever has the power.
One faction is the new faction, which is against the old forces. The number of these people is almost the same as the number of the conservative faction. They think that Gongsun Yuan has collapsed and Gongsun Yuan’s minions cannot still occupy important positions, so they still do things as they are, without giving any benefit to the people.
I'm sorry for the imperial court, but I'm sorry for the people below.
During these times, I found these capable people who had a clear-cut stand against the old, and secretly assigned them suitable positions.
As soon as the imperial envoy arrived, he dismissed Gongsun Yuan's minions and let these new people take over, and everything changed."
Wei Jie perked up and said with satisfaction: "This is a good idea. Give the princess the list of dismissed officials and the list of new officials to be appointed, and we can go back and discuss it.
If the list is qualified, a meeting will be held tomorrow to announce: those who are dismissed will be dismissed, those who will be reinstated will be reinstated, and the team will be changed vigorously and resolutely. Wife, what do you think?"
Xiuning rolled her eyes at Wei Jie: "You've already said it, what else do I have to say."
City Lord Kuang took out two lists and handed them to Wei Jie, obviously prepared for them. He was much more afraid of this consort than the princess, and he did not dare to show any contempt.
Wei Jie took the list, glanced at it a few times, then put it in his arms and said, "Get ready for the meeting tomorrow. Don't wait until we come. You still don't know how to do things."
City Lord Kuang knew that Wei Jie basically agreed, and he was overjoyed. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"
Wei Jie and others returned to the inn and separately inquired about the reactions of the two lists among the people, and asked the Wang and Liu families to help in the secret investigation.
In the evening, everyone's survey results were compiled and synthesized. The feedback information showed that City Lord Kuang's vision was relatively accurate, and his feelings were similar to those of the people, and he received 90% approval.
With such high recognition, there is no doubt about these two lists. Wei Jie said: "Princess Wife, tomorrow you will read it according to the script and exempt the people on this list from serving. Appoint the people on that list.
Just be an official."
Xiu Ning: "Yes, this move is big enough and bold enough. This is the first time I have been involved in such a big thing. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to make a decision. I have to ask the emperor for instructions."
Wei Jie: "You are stupid. If you continue to cut off things, you will suffer chaos. By the time you ask for instructions, the day lily will be cold. I don't know how many Liu family tragedies will be staged!"
Wen Qian: "I support it. I just like this kind of big shift, a new look, new faces, new fashions, and a new atmosphere."
From then on, Wang Bei stayed at the Xiuzhen Sect every day. The princess, the consort, and Wen Qian rushed to the City Lord's Mansion at eight o'clock the next morning. After Wei Jie and the others left yesterday afternoon, City Lord Kuang issued his first order since taking office.
