Chapter 476: Rectifying the Administration of Officials Begins with Framing
Arranging Yuan Hong to protect and assist him in retreat was not because Wen Rui was so kind as to really want to save Jin Guangxian.
The secret order that Wen Rui gave to Yuan Hong was that if the situation became urgent and there was no escape, Yuan Hong must kill Jin Guangxian immediately to silence him.
This is also the unspoken rule of the spy industry. For a coward like Jin Guangxian who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he refuses to die in the line of duty, you have to help him die in the line of duty.
Just like the Jiejiao people who refused to die honorably five hundred years ago and became the shameful mounts of the Western Sect.
They might as well have died bravely back then. Whether they were listed as priests in heaven or reincarnated into another life after death, wouldn't it be better than being dogs forever?
After Jin Guangxian and Yuan Hong set off, the Guardians of the Galaxy stayed in Xiezhi Cave, and Wen Rui immediately plunged into the busy work of renovating the secret base.
His plan was to turn this place into an underground transportation station and front-line command post deep into the hinterland of Xiniu Hezhou.
Xiniu Hezhou's underground intelligence network had already been built when the Five Sects Alliance and the Happy Zen Sect went to war.
During the joint confrontation between the Demon Production Alliance and the Demon Country, the Demon Alliance intelligence organization's infiltration into Xiniu Hezhou reached its peak.
However, since the Western religious beliefs are deeply rooted in Xiniu Hezhou and the power of the Western religion is too strong, the intelligence stations established are generally small in scale.
Now that he has instigated a Bodhisattva mount with some strength and status to rebel, it is natural for him to make full use of the concealment that Jin Guangxian's identity and status can provide, and build the largest intelligence center in Xiniu Hezhou on his territory.
……
The next day, Wen Rui suddenly appeared with three fairies in a dense forest within the borders of Zizhu State, two hundred miles away from the Xiezhi Cave in Qilin Mountain.
Wen Rui opened his mouth and spit out a ball of golden mist, which spread rapidly, soon covering the entire forest and slowly dissipated into nothingness.
"The monitoring system has been connected to the network and no abnormal energy fluctuations have been detected."
After seeing the text prompt displayed on the pupil projection screen, Wen Rui nodded with satisfaction.
As he expected, the Western religious factions were clearly divided and the territorial divisions were very clear. When one faction occupied a mountain territory, the other factions would automatically give way to it, thus avoiding internal strife.
Now that Jin Guangxian has occupied the Zizhu Kingdom, no other Buddhist temples will come here to compete for territory.
After making sure that the selected venue was secretive and sending out fairy-level nanorobots to block the spiritual scan, Wen Rui muttered to himself and chanted prayers.
The glow of divine power manifested in his palm. The faith and willpower accumulated over the years finally came in handy, and an inexplicable wave spread out.
"By the command of Heaven, the gods and ghosts obey my orders, the five guards, show up immediately, as ordered!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a tablet of heaven's command condensed by divine power flashed in Wen Rui's palm, and the great divine power of "binding gods and sending immortals" bestowed on him by the emperor's divine position was exerted.
Among the 72 transformations of the Earthly Fiends, there are two magical powers: exorcising gods and summoning immortals. The "Restricting Gods and Summoning Immortals" performed by Wen Rui is an advanced version of "Exorcising Gods and Summoning Immortals".
Sun Wukong's spells to drive away gods and to summon immortals could at best summon one or two of the nearest land gods and sacred mountains. However, Wen Rui, with his dignity as the Great Emperor and the power of the Emperor of Heaven, injected the power of faith, vows and merits, and with one move he forcibly summoned all the hairy gods within a thousand miles.
It's as if Wukong is a big gangster who has to have some face wherever he goes. Under the threat of force, the government has no choice but to come forward and receive him in a friendly manner.
Wen Rui was the superior leader who came to inspect. Once a reception notice was sent out, anyone who dared not immediately reply with "received" would be finished with his position as an official.
In the dense forest, which was originally empty and quiet, golden light flashed and white smoke rose one after another. Mountain gods, land gods, river gods, and city gods kept rushing over. Soon, more than a hundred gods of all ranks gathered here. The immortal officials were still a little confused. They looked at each other and whispered to each other, not knowing which god had come.
This is also Wen Rui's fault. In order to keep it secret, he used the great magical power of "binding gods and sending immortals" to force the call, and the call order he issued was also vague.
The group of lesser gods only knew that a high-ranking official from heaven had arrived, but they didn't know which deity it was.
However, when they saw Wen Rui in a purple robe, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, and three stunning fairies accompanying him, even if the lesser gods did not know his identity, they knew that his status must be high.
Hundreds of minor gods in the forest came to pay their respects together, saying in unison: "The minor gods guarding the Purple Vermilion Kingdom pay their respects to the Supreme God. What instructions do you have for us, Supreme God?"
"Where is the guardian of Zizhu Country?"
Wen Rui looked around the room and called out the names in a voice full of authority.
Among all the gods, a god dressed in gorgeous robes stood out. This god was dignified, with bright divine light and abundant divine power. It was obvious that he did a good job, which indicated that the Zizhu Kingdom would be prosperous.
"I am the Heaven-granted Lord Zilin, and I pay my respects to the Supreme God."
The guardian god was quite confident, neither humble nor arrogant, and had a calm expression.
Wen Rui stared at him for a while, but his expression gradually turned cold, and he said: "Zi Linjun, right? You are suspended. Long Ji, escort him to the Heavenly Prison for investigation."
Zi Linjun's face changed drastically. He had never thought that he had protected Zizhu Country, boosted the country's fortune, and protected the region with great effectiveness, but he had inexplicably suffered such a disaster. He could not help but asked in astonishment: "What did I do wrong? Why did you arrest me?"
"You're not going to be an official on your first day, are you?"
Wen Rui perfectly demonstrated what it means when a higher-ranking official can crush someone to death: "This is how things are done in Heaven. Do you have the right to know the reason why I arrested you? If you resist the will of Heaven, you will be shot on the spot. If you miss, just try to resist!"
"I don't accept it. The weather here is good, the country is prosperous, and the people of Zizhu Country live and work in peace and contentment. They can enjoy a thousand years of peace."
Zi Linjun felt extremely wronged and protested vigorously, "If you arrest me, it will definitely harm all living beings here. It is an evil policy that goes against the grain. I will appeal to the Jade Emperor! Who are you? You must be a demon pretending to be an angel!"
"I'll give you a chance to appeal. You can file your complaint wherever you want. However, the Jade Emperor is very busy with his concubines. I'm afraid you will have to wait in the prison for hundreds of years before he has time to deal with you."
After Wen Rui said this, he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He winked at Princess Longji beside him and nodded at Lord Zilin.
Lord Zi Lin felt extremely humiliated. Although he had made outstanding political achievements, he was framed by treacherous officials and was accused of crimes without any disguise. He had no place to vent his resentment, so he gritted his teeth and took out a sword, ready to resist to the end.
The guardian god of the country was conferred because of his merits. Although his Taoism was not high, he was blessed by the country's fortune and merits. The divine power he burst out was mixed with the purple energy of the country's fortune, and was actually extraordinary, far beyond the realm of ordinary celestial beings.
I am afraid that if the leaders of the five major immortal sects fight with him within the borders of the Zizhu Kingdom, they will all suffer.
Long Ji had been numb for a long time. In the past, he might have asked a few more questions, but now he was like a ruthless machine that executed orders. He threw out a golden rope, and before Zi Linjun could react, he was tied up like a dumpling by the rope and fell to the ground, unable to move.
This is exactly the case of "one thing conquers another". The magic weapon that Long Ji threw out was not the golden rope, but her own dragon-binding rope. This rope might not be able to bind a golden immortal, but it could definitely bind gods, especially gods protected by dragon energy and national destiny.
No matter how noble the guardian god of the country is in the mortal world, you are not as noble as the Jade Emperor’s own daughter, the eldest princess of heaven.
When the Jade Emperor got angry, Fengxian County almost became a desolate place. No matter how well you do your job, if the superiors say you are not capable, then you are not capable, even if you are capable!
