Main Text Chapter 492 Impeachment

The next day, in the meeting hall, ten temporary mountain masters arrived.

Chen Fei, Ji Sixiu (female), Shi Man, Yang Zhaoqing, Shan Dandan (female), Ding Jie, Jiao Yongtian, Niu Ligong, Gu Ping, Ning Zailai, Miao Yi, who was sitting high up, looked at the ten temporary mountain The Lord's body was swept.

In the past half year, Shuiyun Mansion has undergone tremendous changes, and these ten temporary mountain masters have played an important role. They all worked hard and satisfied Miao Yi. On the other hand, Yan Xiu carefully selected people for him and did not disappoint him.

The year-end discussion can be discussed on all matters big and small, and it can also be regarded as a summary of the year.

Ding Jie stood up and joined in with clasped fists: "I am accusing Yang Zhaoqing of my low position. When he attacked our troops secretly, he actually used despicable tricks and poisoned the water sources of our troops. He was defeated without using force!"

Shan Dandan also came out and joined in with his fists clasped: "I also accused Yang Zhaoqing of my humble position. He actually hired a group of casual cultivators to act as eyes and ears on his own territory, making it impossible for our troops to approach. This is completely unfair to both warring parties. Yang Zhaoqing is good at using it." Those who fall outside the rules should be severely punished by the master of the palace!"

Even Chen Fei stood up and complained with a dark face: "As a humble official, Yang Zhaoqing also agreed that we would not fight with swords and would only use wooden sticks instead. However, during the battle, our troops rushed forward with wooden sticks. However, Yang Zhaoqing led his troops to fight with swords and guns, but they were defeated without force!"

Miao Yi was stunned. He could imagine the situation at that time. Chen Fei led his troops to attack with wooden weapons, but Yang Zhaoqing suddenly showed his true strength and counterattacked, instantly killing Chen Fei's men and fleeing.

Except for Chen Fei, Miao Yi basically had no impression of anyone else. A group of people participated one after another, making Miao Yi look at Yang Zhaoqing with some surprise. I couldn't help but take a second look, and gained a new understanding of this guy, and asked: "Yang Zhaoqing, what's your explanation?"

"I don't need any explanation for my humble position!" Yang Zhaoqing stepped out and clasped his fists and said: "I only remember that the palace master's decree said that my humble position temporarily takes over the position of the master of Lingshou Mountain. He has the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises, so he can go ahead and do it. Come out. The palace master will handle the matter! What's more, they can use the methods that Beizi used, and there is no one to restrict them. If they defeat Beizi, Beizi will only reflect on himself and find a way to win back, and will not complain to the Palace Master in the main hall! If the master of the palace allowed Lingshou Mountain to guard Lingshou Mountain, then that would be the biggest sin of Beizhi!"

Miao Yi asked: "How many casual cultivators have you hired?"

Yang Zhaoqing cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the master! There aren't many, just about eighty."

A group of mountain owners immediately rolled their eyes, more than eighty is not much? Now everyone's troops are reduced by half, so you have an extra mountain of troops.

Miao Yi frowned and asked, "More than eighty people, how can you afford to raise so many people?"

"In fact, you don't need to spend any resources to raise them. Just providing them with food and drink is enough..." Yang Zhaoqing seemed a little hesitant. He was hesitating whether to reveal his trump card, but when he met Miao Yi's questioning gaze, he finally said the truth: "Actually, they weren't hired, they were captured."

"Caught?" Miao Yi asked curiously: "Where did you catch so many casual cultivators?"

Yang Zhaoqing replied: "In this humble position, I gave orders to all the caves under my command, and sent people to squat on the edge of each accessible road. Or squat outside the cities, large or small. Once I found a monk riding a dragon horse crossing the border or entering the city to purchase, I immediately stopped him and questioned him. As long as they are casual cultivators, they will immediately be charged with serving our Lingshou Mountain for one year. If they dare to escape, they will be threatened with an immediate arrest order. So far, no casual cultivators have dared to go against the official, and they will only serve for one year. Even though it’s such a difficult situation, those casual cultivators are still cooperative!”

Not to mention other people, even Miao Yi was a little dumbfounded. Can you still play like this? This is clearly bullying other practitioners into not daring to go against the authorities!

Then he saw Yang Zhaoqing cupping his hands and saying: "The humble post only captured them to act as eyes and ears. Everyone can prove that during the battle, the humble post did not let those casual cultivators participate in the killing without permission!"

Miao Yi looked at Yang Zhaoqing and was secretly amazed. He didn't expect that his subordinates were really talented. He glanced at the other mountain masters who were thoughtful, and thought to himself that with his mind, you really didn't lose unjustly. He immediately pointed at Yang Zhaoqing and said, "He has already said harsh words. You can win against him by any means. As long as you can win against him, he will be convinced and won't complain."

Everyone was speechless. Since the palace master said this, he was obviously on Yang Zhaoqing's side.

"But one thing I want to state in advance is that the so-called unscrupulous means cannot go beyond the current rules of the Immortal Kingdom and the Water Palace, otherwise I will not be able to protect you if something happens!" Miao Yi warned in a deep voice.

"I will obey the master's decree!" A group of mountain masters accepted the order.

Miao Yi looked at Yang Zhaoqing again and asked, "How have you won or lost in the past six months?"

Yang Zhaoqing replied: "I have fought against all the other nine mountains in twenty-eight battles, big and small, and I have never been defeated even though I am humble!"

These words are reserved and domineering! It means that he has never been defeated, and he can also be said to be invincible. No wonder so many people have participated! This moment really made Miao Yi's eyes flash with astonishment, and he looked at him with admiration. After all, he had lost and lost before, but this person in front of him was even better than Miao Yi!

Damn it, are all people named Yang so powerful? Miao Yi murmured to himself and couldn't help but think of Yang Qing in Nanxuan Mansion.

"I think you are still willing to admit defeat! Now that I can be a witness, let's settle all the debts between us!" Miao Yi sat on it and laughed.

The ten mountain masters immediately went back and forth. The stakes for winning or losing a battle were not much, only ten low-grade wish beads. For the mountain masters who each had a direct-controlled city and could earn hundreds of wish beads a year, plus the commissions handed over by the subordinates, they could afford it. If they lost too much, they would definitely not be able to bear it.

Yang Zhaoqing was the biggest winner on the scene, even surpassing Chen Fei. He won all 28 battles, big and small, and earned 280 wish beads at once, which made the other mountain masters jealous.

As a result, Miao Yi turned around and took out his own harvest. Of the thousands of wish beads handed over to him by the subordinates, he removed about 400 to be distributed and rewarded to the Shuiyun Mansion headquarters, and took out an integer of 600 to reward the top three winners of this battle in a 321 manner.

In other words, just for this item, Yang Zhaoqing got another 300 low-grade wish beads as a reward. Yang Zhaoqing accepted the reward and expressed gratitude in public, which really made other mountain masters envious. They all thought that Lingshou Mountain was really rich this time. It was conceivable how inspiring it was that Yang Zhaoqing returned to Lingshou Mountain and rewarded his meritorious officials. He would soon gain the support of his subordinates and establish his prestige and status in Lingshou Mountain. Next time, he would fight with other mountains even harder.

However, this move made Mu Tailai and others in Shuiyun Mansion feel a little itchy. Otherwise, they asked the mansion master to be transferred to the mountain master, which would be much more lucrative than doing anything else.

It was not that Miao Yi was generous, but that all his harvests in the past ten years were confiscated. The thousands of wish beads in the direct-controlled city must be handed over to Zhengui Palace. As for the harvest handed over to him by the subordinates, he had no need to give it to the superiors. He simply rewarded them to his subordinates.

After the annual payment of each mountain was completed, Miao Yi did not organize any fighting competitions and rewards like Yang Qing did in the past. He had fought enough in the past six months. He did not leave the mountain masters to escort the annual payment to the Zhengui Palace. There was no need for that. If he could not protect the annual payment with all the magic weapons he had, then it would be useless to bring more people.

Although the Shuiyun Mansion no longer practices gift-giving, ordinary human relations are still inevitable. Miao Yi cannot completely cut off the income of the people below. The walking people under his seat can only earn a hard income of ten wish beads a year at most. It would be very difficult if they did not give him some tribute. If even this little income was cut off, those walking people would definitely not work with him and would definitely rebel against him behind his back.

The mountain masters and the like naturally had to take care of it. Qian'er and Xue'er received a lot. They each received about thirty wish beads from the people below. Each mountain master basically gave two beads. This time, Yang Zhaoqing was more generous. He gave ten beads to each of the two aunts, which was almost the annual income of a cave. Yan Xiu was also indispensable.

In the eyes of the two aunts and Yan Xiu, this little bit of filial piety may not be a big deal, compared to what Miao Yi gave them, it is simply not worth mentioning, but everyone also knows that for the subordinates, this is already a big tribute, they still have people to support, and every wish bead is counted.

Miao Yi smiled slightly after learning about it, it seems that Yang Zhaoqing is really not a pedantic person, he has a future!

The subordinates dispersed, Miao Yi also appointed Mu Tailai and Hu Defu to accompany him, and escorted the annual payment to Zhengui Palace.

After meeting Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei who had agreed on the way, the three parties traveled together again.

For most of the past six months, the three of them have basically focused their main energy on cultivation, and they have less contact with each other. They can't help asking about each other's family situation. After learning that Miao Yi's subordinates have been honing their men by fighting each other, the two immediately praised the good idea and went back to follow suit.

When they arrived at Zhengui Palace, the three of them paid a visit to the palace master, handed over the annual payment, and then stayed overnight at Zhengui Palace. The three of them no longer needed to visit there.

When the heads of the various prefectures arrived and the annual taxes were paid, they naturally gathered in the main hall to discuss matters and summarize the merits and demerits of the year. No one mentioned the bloodbath of Pingyang Prefecture by the three prefectures, only the hall master scolded them in public.

This even surprised Miao Yi and the other two. Why didn't the three walkers take the opportunity to scold?

However, when they were about to disperse, trouble still came. The hall master Shen Huaixin, who was sitting high on the throne, said, "Let's disperse if there is nothing else."

At this time, Xu Jinsong stepped out decisively and bowed, saying, "I impeach the three heads of Shuiyun Prefecture, Qianze Prefecture, and Yunsang Prefecture!"

Everyone looked over, and they muttered in their hearts, knowing that it would not pass so easily, and finally came. Those who had nothing to do with it began to take their time and prepare to watch the fun.

Shen Huaixin asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Xu Jinsong asked, "Zhengui Palace confiscated the income of the three prefecture heads for ten years, but I heard that the three heads only handed in the income of about a thousand wish beads each. May I ask the hall master, is this true?"
