Chapter 106 An County Structure
Chapter 106: Bai'an County Structure
the next day.
Li Mo woke up slowly in a spacious and warm room.
Because I slept so soundly last night, there was still a slight smile on the corner of my mouth when I got up. I couldn't help but stretch, and the thin quilt slipped off my body.
After a while.
After Li Mo put on his clothes and washed up, he walked out of the room and walked around the courtyard.
The courtyard is vast and has obviously been carefully cleaned. There are a total of nine rooms in the courtyard, including a living room and bedroom, which have been neatly arranged, two utility rooms, and three other rooms that are still vacant. It is equipped with a toilet, bathroom, and kitchen, which can be said to have everything you need.
There is a flower garden in the courtyard, planted with fragrant flowers, which are vying for beauty and are beautiful beyond words.
From today on.
This courtyard is where Li Mo lives.
To ordinary people, this could barely be considered a small mansion, but Li Mo knew that compared with the real mansions in Bai'an City with three, four, or even five, six, seven, or eight courtyards, it was nothing.
"Li House?"
Li Mo laughed at himself.
He was probably going to live here for a long time, so after a little thought, he made a preliminary plan for this self-proclaimed mansion.
Let’s ignore the two storage rooms for now.
There were three empty rooms, and he planned to use one as an alchemy room, one as a weapon refining room, and one as a puppet house.
He had already planned to study weapon refining and puppetry, and had prepared a large amount of basic materials.
As for the alchemy room, although he has not yet mastered the recipe for the elixir that can increase the speed of cultivation in the foundation-building stage, he has more than twenty Piaomiao Demon Pills for the Qi training stage and six Piaomiao Demon Pills for the foundation-building stage.
Those six Piaomiao Demon Pills of the Foundation Establishment Stage are nothing more than that.
Because the auxiliary medicines needed are all hundred-year-old elixirs, their value is not comparable to the Creation Pills of the Qi Refining Stage. Due to the problems of alchemy, he is not confident enough, so he does not plan to refine them for the time being.
But he had already prepared these twenty or so Piaomiao Demon Pills for the Qi training period and related auxiliary spiritual medicines before coming here.
He planned to start refining elixirs as soon as he became familiar with the environment here.
Even if these Qi training pills can no longer effectively improve his cultivation, they can still open up his Dantian, strengthen his meridians, and weaken the backlash effects of thunder alchemy and Lei Wuhuaji. For Li Mo, they are of many benefits.
The key is.
Li Mo guessed that as he refined more and more Fortune Pills, the damage he suffered from thunder tribulations in the Piaomiao Dream would also decrease. At that time, he would use the method of overcoming tribulations in the Piaomiao Box to discover more secrets.
Thinking like this.
Li Mo took out the formation diagram and carefully arranged the colorful psychedelic formation flags prepared for him by his master in the courtyard according to the formation diagram.
As he placed the spirit stones on the array plate, the psychedelic array was activated.
in this way.
The entire courtyard seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, but as Li Mo made a gesture with one hand and gently pointed at the array plate, the huge psychedelic array disappeared again. But in fact, it was just hidden. Once someone stepped into the courtyard without permission, the psychedelic array would automatically activate.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mo released two humanoid puppets that looked like chivalrous knights and issued a guarding order.
These two human-shaped puppets were obtained from the second Ruoyu's substitute puppet. They possessed the strength of the tenth level of Qi training. Li Mo took out the mid-grade spirit stone without hesitation and inserted it into the core part of the energy source.
Thus.
He won't have to worry about the energy problems of these two puppets for a long time.
With these two puppets and the colorful psychedelic formation, it is more than enough to guard the mansion. After all, this is a county town, not a desolate wilderness. If there are illegal cult fanatics, all the monks will rush over.
Besides.
He also has a humanoid puppet on him that is both offensive and defensive, holding a spear and a large shield.
This puppet is stronger than the two humanoid puppets. It is enough to fight against the mutant wolf king in a short period of time. It is considered a top-notch puppet among the primary and advanced puppets. Li Mo keeps it on him in case it is needed during the mission.
After arranging all this, Li Mo ate some dry food he brought with him, and then began to go to each room to make detailed arrangements.
By the time he had put everything in place, it was already afternoon.
Li Mo looked up at the sky. Although there was no strange expression on his face, he instinctively took out his oil-paper umbrella and walked towards the Ministry of Destiny.
"Deputy General Flag."
"Deputy General Flag..."
The food in the kitchen of Tianmingsi is quite rich!
However, Li Mo did not see his sixth senior sister Jiang Feiyan. Facing everyone's greetings, Li Mo signaled that they should not be restrained.
"From now on, we are a family. Except for mission time, there is no need to be restrained."
Say it.
Li Mo brought a plate of food and came to Mr. Tian.
The inspector next to him was quite perceptive and quickly made room for Li Mo. After Li Mo expressed his gratitude, he gestured for everyone to squeeze in and smiled at Zhao Xiaonan, whom he was familiar with.
However, his purpose of coming here was not to reminisce with Zhao Xiaonan.
Although he felt a little sorry for Zhao Xiaonan, since it was fate, some things had to be missed and that was it.
"Mr. Tian, can you tell me about the layout of Bai'an County?"
"no problem."
Although Tian Feng is usually not talkative, he is quite capable when it comes to tasks.
"Bai'an County, along with Sihe County, Datong County, Beikou County, Zunhua County, and Xiaoyue County, is one of the six counties under the jurisdiction of Anbei County. Originally, there were only four towns within its territory: Qingshui, Lingshan, Wankou, and Guyuan, with about 400 villages. However, with the addition of Hua'an, Quhe, and Tongchao, Bai'an County has more than doubled in size, far exceeding the area of the other counties, and now has over 800 villages under its jurisdiction."
Tian Feng sighed when he said this.
"These three towns were once remote and untamed, with various issues that needed to be addressed. The Daqian Kingdom attaches great importance to the border naturalization policy. In addition to the handover of public security between the Pacification Department and the Destiny Department, there are also long-term construction and education related to notifications and training. Before this, our department only had one deputy general flag stationed there permanently. Due to the long-term shortage of staff, the administrative level has also been upgraded, from a permanent deputy general flag to a permanent general flag."
The administrative upgrade that Tian Feng mentioned was obviously referring to the period five years ago.
Li Mo nodded and took the other party's words to heart.
"Besides that, our county has another persistent problem: the bandits in the Eighteen Mountains. Every ten years or so, our county must unite with the surrounding counties to vigorously crack down on them. Otherwise, if the bandits become powerful, there will inevitably be chaos. Fortunately, it's only been over two years since the last crackdown, so there won't be any major chaos for the time being. In addition... we need to keep an eye on the four major families in the county: Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen."
"Song Qi Liang Chen?"
Li Mo paused for a moment. Old Tian nodded, also putting down his chopsticks, pausing for a moment to look at the food on the plate, a look of deep thought on his face.
"First, there's the Song family. They were once one of the great families of the Lingmu Sect. Although they've declined now, they still hold great influence within Bai'an County, and even within Anbei County. Apart from anything else, from what I know, the Song family still has at least three Foundation Establishment cultivators serving in various branches of the sect."
Hearing this, Li Mo couldn't help but think of Song Xiang.
This person is most likely from the Song family!
"Then there's the Qi family. Their situation is more complicated. It seems only the former generals know their background. I only know they have connections with many secret organizations, including the Daohua Trading Company, the Black Market, the Longmen Escort Agency, and the Touqi."
"what!"
Li Mo was a little bit unbelievable.
What he didn't expect was that Daohua Trading Company was actually a secret organization.
You should know that almost all the silver notes he had received before were issued by this trading company.
"If you want to know the specific reasons for this kind of thing, you can only ask General Jiang. We don't usually get involved. The higher-ups should have explained it."
"it is good."
Li Mo nodded.
He thought that all secret organizations were secretive.
"As for the Liang family, their patriarch is the governor of Muzhou, a true high-ranking official of the imperial court. He is also specifically responsible for the construction and naturalization of the three towns of Hua'an, Quhe, and Tongchao. Therefore, every year, many talents and funds are transferred from various prefectures and counties to the three towns by the Liang family. Because so many things are involved, they often encounter various problems. They have a great say in the Muzhou government and can even influence the court's border policies. Therefore, we must deal with the problems they raise in a timely manner."
Li Mo couldn't help but think of Jimin Hall in Hua'an Town.
This is most likely one of the industries that the Liang family is responsible for building.
It is not difficult to hear from Mr. Tian's tone that even the expansion of the personnel of the Tianming Department in Bai'an County this time is the result of the Liang family's behind-the-scenes operation.
Since the head of the Liang family is known as a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he is most likely an official of the fourth rank or above. Even if he is a so-called mortal, ordinary foundation-building cultivators and golden elixir cultivators would never dare to offend him.
After all, Daqian Kingdom is a country with imperial laws.
The reason why Saint Emperor Qianyuan founded the country was to get rid of the law of the jungle and avoid letting the people under his rule live in fear and anxiety, which would then breed all kinds of evil spirits. Other big countries rely more on so-called moral criticism and punishing evil and promoting good.
"Finally, there's the Chen family. The head of the Chen family was originally just a commoner, but later joined the military, made numerous military achievements, and was eventually promoted to centurion!"
"Hundred households?"
Li Mo looked surprised.
Although the military and the Ministry of Destiny are different systems, if we divide them according to the level of the Ministry of Destiny, Senior Sister Jiang is just a general flag bearer, and her immediate superior is a centurion.
"Afterwards, this centurion returned to his hometown for unknown reasons and began to take concubines and have children. Many children with spiritual roots were born. One of them even successfully established his foundation six months ago. He is said to be less than 30 years old and has been designated as the next head of the Chen family."
Although the Ministry of Destiny and the Military Department belong to different systems.
However, due to the hundred-year war between Daqian and Lu, the military's power and status in the court were much higher than that of the Tianming Division.
It turns out that these are the so-called four major families, and even the Bai'an County Tianming Division must treat them with caution.
But Tian Feng didn't finish his words.
"But this has also led to many problems. The Chen family has far too many children, and many of the women are not willing to join them; it can almost be said that they are forced to do so. The Chen family not only intensively trains those with spiritual roots, but also dismisses many without. This has led to a series of problems that have greatly affected the order in Bai'an County. General Jiang has reported this to the higher-ups many times, but unfortunately, because it involves the military, there has been no result."
"Even Senior Sister is troubled by this. It seems that this Chen family is really a trouble."
Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.
It seems that realizing his dream of becoming an excellent inspector is not as easy as he imagined. Not all things can be divided into right and wrong.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
Mr. Tian sighed, took two bites of food, and then interjected.
"In recent years, the frequency of evil spirits appearing in Bai'an County has been significantly higher. General Jiang has been tirelessly investigating. We have basically determined that a mysterious organization is causing chaos in Bai'an County. We are temporarily calling this mysterious organization 'White Moon'. The specific purpose and members of this organization are unknown. General Jiang speculates that the person behind this organization is likely a Jindan stage cultivator."
"Golden elixir stage monk!"
Li Mo's face changed.
"This is no joke. With the strength of a Jindan-stage cultivator, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill all of us here."
"Hey."
Mr. Tian sighed.
"General Jiang is also worried about this issue. However, judging from the evidence we have so far, it is very likely that a Jindan cultivator is behind this organization. Therefore, we have been investigating secretly. If we find anything, we will be ready to inform the higher-ups at any time."
"I see."
Li Mo nodded seriously.
night.
Li Mo came to visit Sixth Senior Sister Jiang Feiyan at her residence, and after asking some specific questions, he said goodbye and left with a heavy heart until late at night.
He originally thought that the worship of the Tan River God was an accidental event that happened in Hua'an Town.
But now it seems.
This is most likely just one of a series of major outbreaks of evil spirits throughout Bai'an County.
According to Jiang Feiyan, the mysterious organization that she privately named "Bai Yue" was the culprit and the instigator of Zhao Siman's death!
"Xiao Man."
Li Mo clenched his fists.
"No matter who's behind this, I'll definitely find him out. This isn't just revenge for you, but also for the countless people who died in Hua'an Town during that heavy rain!"
Li Mo's eyes were extremely firm.
"I am no longer the apprentice who only knew how to make medicine."
Besides.
There are several registered gods in Bai'an County.
Some primitive sects occasionally infiltrate the areas outside the borders of Daqian Kingdom.
These primitive sects are temples established by various mountain spirits and water monsters, with a large number of unconverted believers worshiping them. The related matters are quite difficult to handle, and are also something that the inspectors of the Ministry of Destiny need to pay attention to.
