Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 181 May there be no more hunger in the world
According to Wang Angongcao's advice, based on the actual progress, Xu Yingkui only needs to wait until July of this year to be seriously injured by the revolutionary army with explosives.

But it's only May now, and there's still a two-month gap until July. I wonder how many people will suffer from Xu Yingkui's oppression!
Li Xuan, knife in hand, broke into the governor's mansion at night, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Xu Yingkui was sleeping in bed with two women in his arms when he felt a chill run through his body. He tried to pull the blanket up, but suddenly realized he couldn't reach it. He opened his eyes and was instantly terrified.

A young man stood before the bed; in the dim light streaming through the window, he appeared to be quite handsome.

Xu Yingkui's pupils widened as he tried to sit up, only to find his body stiff and unable to move. He could barely turn his neck and looked at the woman beside him, saying, "Wake up, damn it, wake up!"

The two women on either side were as if they were fast asleep, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Xu Yingkui was heartbroken, but his will to live was rising. He dared not shout, and forced a smile as he said, "What does this righteous man seek? This governor... no, I, Xu, am willing to offer it with both hands!"

Li Xuan asked, "Why are you withholding the pay of the Taiwan defense forces?"

Although Taiwan Island was ceded with Li Hongzhang's signature, some issues accumulated in the early stages cannot be absolved of responsibility.

Xu Yingkui's smile was more like a grimace as he said, "This... it's not like I'm the only one embezzling military funds. Everyone in the Qing Dynasty, from top to bottom, including the Empress Dowager, is doing it. If you're not greedy and I'm not greedy, how can we survive in such a circle..."

Li Xuan asked, "I understand."

Xu Yingkui was overjoyed and said, "I am willing to pay a high price to hire a righteous man as..."

laugh!
His pupils contracted to their maximum size.

Because the Miao knife had been inserted into his mouth and emerged from under the bed, a trace of blood gathered into a droplet and fell to the ground.

Li Xuan slowly drew his Miao sword, walked out of the room, and brandished the Mirror of Retribution over the governor's mansion. This time, he did not set fire to it because the governor's mansion was very large and many people inside had been forced to come, so their sins were not exposed.

In this era, some information travels very slowly, and ordinary people hear it even slower. Xu Yingkui's body had just been buried when news came from outside that Zhuang Shan, the Guangdong Maritime Superintendent, had been killed by righteous men in the customs office for opium smuggling and oppressing the people, and then the office was burned to the ground.

When Li Xuan was about to leave Fuzhou.

One person caught his attention: a fifty-one-year-old man named Huang Naishang. In this chaotic era, where almost everyone was exploiting the people, he was in a state of chaos.

Huang Naishang seemed to realize the impending chaos, so she actually paid out of her own pocket to carry out immigration, intending to lead the local people away from this place of trouble.

Li Xuan approached the man and asked, "Sir, do you intend to leave completely?"

Seeing that he had fair skin and tender flesh, and looked like a scholar, Huang Naishang smiled bitterly and said, "If I can stay in my hometown, why should I go through the trouble of moving my fellow villagers to other places?"
The Qing Dynasty is corrupt from top to bottom, beset by internal and external troubles. I am just an old man with a little money. When poor, I can only keep myself pure; when rich, I can help the world. My abilities are meager, but I cannot bear to see my fellow villagers suffer disaster. I will save as many as I can... When I go to other places, I will lead them to reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy projects, and rebuild a peaceful place to live.

Li Xuan could understand Huang Naishang's thoughts. Although there were uprisings in both the north and south at this time, the Qing government was still a powerful force, and even with the most ordinary weapons, its soldiers could still defeat the peasant uprising armies armed with hoes and sticks!

Assembling a reasonably well-equipped rebel army is extremely costly. Clothing, weapons, armor, provisions, vehicles—all of these cost money, not to mention the most important thing: combat experience…

Knowing the immense difficulty involved, Huang Naishang had no choice but to settle for second best and leave with the villagers.

Li Xuan said, "I have an improved rice variety that ripens every 100 days, three times a year. Could you please stay and lead the people of Fuzhou to develop our local economy?"

Upon hearing that there were rice seeds that could be harvested three times a year, Huang Naishang was somewhat shocked and said, "If there really is such an auspicious sign, then half of the people in the world will starve to death in the future!"

Li Xuan opened his palm, revealing a rice seed full of grains to Huang Naishang. Food is the most important thing for people; eating is always the most crucial thing. If you're not well-fed, how can you have the energy to think about anything else?

Huang Naishang carefully held the rice seeds, brought them to his nose, and smelled them. The aroma was so rich that he was almost intoxicated by it. After a long while, he said, "Such plump rice grains are truly rare. If they can really ripen in a hundred days, then... then you... sir, you have truly done a great deed..."

Li Xuan wouldn't take credit for it, so he said, "This early-maturing rice was developed by a renowned agricultural expert surnamed Xu and many other wise men, in order to eliminate famine in the world."

Huang Naishang was somewhat stunned, and murmured, "I know about rice. It ripens once a year. To study its habits would take countless years and a lot of brainpower. You are truly a master..."

He stood on the dock, looking at the large ship carrying villagers, and remained silent for a long time: "I will stay here for the time being and plant early rice in Fuzhou. As long as war does not strike, I will stay here. If... then I will have to leave. After all, only the living have the right to go hungry."

Li Xuan was in a hurry and left Fuzhou.

However, as the messenger, Wang An informed Li Xuan of Huang Naishang's actions in Fuzhou. As promised, Huang stayed to plant early rice. He not only planted it himself but also taught the seeds and methods to other people in Fuzhou in case of emergencies. He fled for his life, and the rice seeds followed him away.

in the coming time.

Li Xuan carefully calculated the time, eliminating as many corrupt officials as possible who betrayed the country for personal gain. He beheaded Sheng Xuanhuai, the Shanghai Railway Supervisor, and Yu Lianyuan, the Suzhou-Songjiang-Taicang Circuit Intendant. Then he went to Hubei to eliminate Qu Tingshao, the Provincial Treasurer, followed by Nanjing and Nantong, before heading towards the Central Plains...

Even with the talisman of speed and unlimited magic power, it still took him quite a while to finish.

When he arrived in the capital, there was only one week left. He used the Mirror of Retribution to inspect all the high-ranking officials and swiftly eliminated them and their associates. When a few vacancies arose in power, those good officials who were closer to the capital and had a heart for serving the people were given more time to fill them...

Li Xuan sneaked into the palace and discovered that Emperor Guangxu had severe symptoms of poisoning. Upon observation, he found that someone was adding trace amounts of arsenic to his food every day.

He remembered that Emperor Guangxu would die in eight years, and Empress Dowager Cixi would die only one day later.

Emperor Guangxu knew that the Qing Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. He tried to support the reform movement during his lifetime, but not much. He was no better than Empress Dowager Cixi. In addition, eight out of ten people in the Qing Dynasty were corrupt, so his role was less than that of a mascot.

After much deliberation, Li Xuan fixed Empress Dowager Cixi in the night, covered her face with a wet tissue, and sent her to her death.

The next day, Empress Dowager Cixi was discovered. Emperor Guangxu's face showed grief, but there was no trace of pain in his eyes. The reformist officials and those pursuing technological advancements all wore expressions of joy...

They didn't really need Emperor Guangxu, but rather someone to sit in that position so they could do things in his name.

The Qing Dynasty had accumulated too many problems that could not be solved in a short time. Only by overthrowing and rebuilding could the "aristocrats" be weeded out and the dynasty truly come back to life.

Time has run out.

Li Xuan felt a pang of regret as he stood on the beach gazing eastward. If he had more time, he would go to the island nation to nip future calamities in the bud.

His figure vanished with the wind...

The mirror of evil shattered as a result.

Above Maoshan, the phantom of the Three Mao Ancestors appeared, glanced into the distance, and sighed, "He borrowed our magic power and killed more than two thousand people in thirty-three days. Although they were all evil people judged by the Mirror of Karma, if the Great Emperor were as obsessed with killing as Zhang Daoling, he would be... Oh well, a little bit of karma from killing can be shared by you and me, it's nothing."
