But when he was running, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him, waiting for him with a smile.
"You, you, impossible, how is this possible!"
Seeing the person in front of him, the fast-moving figure stopped immediately, and a chill rose from his heart and flooded his whole body.
Obviously he should be in Anzhou City, outside Tingfeng Pavilion, how could he come to him in the blink of an eye.
Even if he can find his trail, it is absolutely impossible to catch up so quickly, even if he flies!
After being stunned for a while, Faceless immediately turned his head and ran to the side. He would not give up until the last moment, even if he was already in deep despair.
However, just as he was about to make some moves, Shen Yu stopped in front of him again, as if appearing out of thin air.
Facing the terrifying figure that was close at hand, Faceless backed away tremblingly, without any luck for the whole person.
He didn't understand how Shen Yu found him all at once, let alone how he came to him in an instant.
But he didn't need to understand these, because Shen Yu's subordinates never kept alive.Judging from what I have done before, it is almost impossible to survive.
"Run, why don't you run!"
Standing in front of Wu Mian, Shen Yu really couldn't connect this short man with flamboyant features with the charming Mu Chang before.
Originally, Mu Chang's face was already so disgusting that people wanted to vomit, but they didn't expect that there would be a man behind everything.
If those Mu Chang's guests know that a man is manipulating all of this, then their pursuit of Mu Chang and even a kiss is equivalent to facing a man.
It's all right for Mu Chang to be a little ugly, at least her body is still a woman's, so she can reluctantly accept it even after a long distance.
But what if this object turns into an ugly man, just thinking about it makes people shudder.
When they prostrated themselves under Mu Chang's pomegranate skirt and were enjoying themselves in the gentle countryside, a short man was watching this scene with disdain.
Just thinking about it makes people sick for a few days, forget it, even thinking about it makes people feel sick.
Sure enough, these days you can't just look at the face, otherwise it's not only difficult to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, but even gender is not necessarily reliable.
"Shen Yu, no, Mr. Shen, if you have something to say, speak up!" When facing Shen Yu head-on, Wu Face found that he couldn't calm down at all.
The composure and calmness of the past are just a joke in the face of absolute strength.When life and death are in the hands of others, how can people be calm.
Looking at Shen Yu, Faceless held back for a long time before saying tremblingly, "My lord, can you not die?"
"What do you think?"
Shen Yu didn't know when there was an extra sword in his hand. The moment this sword appeared, Faceless seemed to be locked by death, and he didn't even dare to move.
"My lord, wait, wait a moment, I can exchange my life with a message, my lord!"
As if afraid that Shen Yu would attack immediately, Faceless shouted immediately, "Don't Master Shen wonder why the imperial court sent you to Xichuan, and why the imperial court gave you the right to restrain civil and military affairs?"
"Does Mr. Shen really think that the imperial court asked you to come to Xichuan to be the governor, to control all civil and military affairs in Xichuan, just to curry favor with you?"
"You'd better not be delaying time!" He glanced at the other party uncertainly, but the hand that raised the sword was silently put down.
"My lord, at this point, do you think I can still run?" He swallowed nervously, and asked in a low voice without a face, "My lord, can I live if I say so?"
"It depends on whether I'm satisfied or not!"
Hand, carelessly across the blade, Shen Yu glanced at him indistinctly, the threat was already palpable.
"You may not die if you say it, but you will die a miserable death if you don't. You make your own decision!"
"My lord, my news will definitely satisfy you!" Taking two steps back with a little apprehension, Wu Mian felt that he was still a little uneasy, so he took another two steps back.
Although he knows that distance is dispensable for a master like Shen Yu, but such a distance can bring him a sense of security, even if it is only a little bit.
"Master Shen, have you ever thought that those people in the court know that Master Shen is not greedy for power at all, and you represent the strongest power in the world, so you don't need to restrain yourself!"
"But they still hand over the power of civil and military restraint to you. Mr. Shen is not curious why?"
"You mean, they are not afraid of me, but the civil and military officials of Xichuan?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen is indeed smart!"
Slowed down, and after the uneasiness in his heart settled down, Faceless said, "Master Shen came all the way from Xiaozhou and killed so many corrupt officials, isn't Master Shen surprised, why Xichuan officials can collapse? So far?"
"Is it really just because there is a governor like He Yuan that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, which leads to the rampant corruption of officials?"
Speaking of this, Wumian raised his head and glanced at Shen Yu, and happened to see Shen Yu's eyes looking at him, and his heart trembled instantly.
"Sir Shen, don't you think that He Yuan's depravity is related to my Tingfeng Pavilion?"
"My lord, you have misunderstood us!" Suddenly understanding the meaning in Shen Yu's eyes, Wumian quickly explained, "The reason why He Yuan is like this has nothing to do with our Tingfeng Pavilion. It's not He Yuan anymore!"
"Because He Yuan is not He Yuan? What do you mean?"
"Master Shen, to be precise, he is not He Yuan, Governor of Xichuan who should have taken office, but He Yuan who was replaced by someone else."
"The real Master He Yuanhe has been replaced by someone before he took office!"
"Not only him, but many of Xichuan's civil and military personnel have been replaced. It's as if there is a pair of invisible hands in the dark, firmly controlling the entire Xichuan!"
Chapter 549 It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature
"Is what you said true?"
If Xi Chuan's civil and martial arts were replaced by others, one or two would be fine, but if there were too many, no one would notice at all.
Do you really think that the black-clothed guards all over the world of the imperial court are just for nothing? There are countless spies in the open and in the dark.
No matter how you hear the words of Faceless, it sounds like a fantasy, which is hard to believe.But his expression was not fake at all, and it made people have to believe it.
"Master Shen, everything I said is true. The reason why this matter can be concealed is because even those who replace others don't know that they are actually substitutes!"
"Oh? You mean, they don't have any doubts about their own identities, and think that they are the original person?"
"Yes, because of this, there is no flaw in their thinking."
"And what is even more surprising is that they treat people as if they have taken over the original owner, exactly the same."
"Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to hide everything until now. But Jiangshan is easy to change and his nature is hard to change, just like He Yuan, no matter how he conceals his nature, he cannot be concealed."
Speaking of which, Faceless thought of He Yuan again.That superficially honest gentleman is actually a money-grubbing, lustful, demanding Governor-General.
For such a person, when he first came to listen to Fengge, the greedy expression on his face was only fleeting.
But no face can tell at a glance that this is definitely a fellow.Nature can't be hidden!
"My lord, in fact, He Yuan has always thought that he could not stand the temptation in the later stage and fell."
"It's because he became the governor of a place, and after his high position and power, he let the power fascinate his eyes."
"Sometimes, he even lamented that the days of being an upright official were not as chic as he is now, saying that he was really unrefined before. Now he has figured it out, he wants to eat, drink, have fun, and live a chic life!"
"But in fact, he is not depraved, nor is he wanting to understand, but his nature is like this, and his biggest flaw is his lack of flaws."
At first, Faceless just thought He Yuan was a hypocrite.On the surface, he has a good reputation, but in fact he hides filth secretly. He has seen many such people, everywhere.
But in the later stage, He Yuan almost obeyed Mu Chang's words, so he started to investigate He Yuan's past.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, he wants to investigate the other party's experience in every detail, so as to ensure that the governor is firmly in his hands.
The number of people who fell under Mu Chang's pomegranate skirt is unknown, and it is absolutely easy to check He Yuan's past experience.
But the result of the investigation shocked him a little. This guy who is obviously an old pervert looks greedy and lustful, and he is as cowardly as a mouse, he is sacrificing his life!
Such a person is completely a model among corrupt officials and a hypocrite among hypocrites.
But the former He Yuan was a good official with integrity and honesty, known for his integrity and selflessness, with a clean sleeve and a proud personality!
He even dared to bow his head to the poor and apologize to the poor because the people fired at the nobles and important court officials at the same time in the court.
How many people hated him so much that they tried every means to find traces of his violation of law and discipline, so as to slap him in the face severely, but they all found nothing.
At that time, He Yuan was really high-spirited and upright, and he was a loyal minister and righteous man.
But in the current Xichuan Heyuan, Faceless doesn't see any of these characteristics, which makes people suspicious.
Even if he is depraved, he must have a process.
If He Yuan was really like this, no matter how much he tried to cover up his greedy nature, he couldn't cover it up.He had already been beaten to death by those nobles and court officials who hated him so much, how could it be possible to keep him until now.
The one in the palace, how could he safely hand over the governor of a place to a humble scholar like He Yuan.Isn't it because he is strong and loyal.
In other words, this is one of his own, so he has always been steadfast in his support for Xi Chuan and He Yuan.
But they didn't know that He Yuan was no longer He Yuan, and all the support was nothing but meat buns and dogs, and most of them went into He Yuan's own pocket.
"My lord, I heard that the Wind Pavilion has been established for a long time, and a lot of information has been collected. I am afraid that not only civil and military officials from various places, but even high-ranking gangsters may have been replaced a lot."
"Master Shen should also understand at this moment, why the imperial court let you come here is because the imperial court's control over this place has been reduced to the minimum!"
"Not only did He Yuan obey the imperial court's orders, but most of Xichuan's civil and military affairs did the same. Once or twice is fine, every time is like this, how could the imperial court not notice it!"
"So before Mr. Shen came, the imperial court sent a large number of experts to investigate, but they all came back and forth, and even the slightest news was not sent back."
Looking at Shen Yu apprehensively, Faceless confessed everything he knew.Part of it was heard in Tingfeng Pavilion, and part of it was his guess.
Now, in order to survive, he told everything he knew, just hoping that Shen Yu would see his value.
Only those who are worthy are worthy of living and can live!
"Master Shen, Xichuan has become a de facto independent territory, and it is an unfathomable independent territory with countless masters!"
"If you want to take Xichuan back, you must either make up your mind and pay a painful price to conquer. Or, you must have someone strong enough to push here directly!"
"And Mr. Shen, who is strong enough and has no obsession with power, is the best candidate!"
"The most important point is that Mr. Shen hates corrupt officials. They believe that as long as Mr. Shen understands the current Xichuan, he will never sit idly by!"
"Under the civil and military governance of Xichuan, Xichuan, which was originally considered prosperous, has been starved and starved all these years, and the people have no means of living. Corrupt officials are like crucian carp crossing the river. They are innumerable and endless!"
"I'm afraid, if things go on like this, Xichuan will be completely chaotic under the boiling public grievances!"
"Understood!" Nodding his head, Shen Yu immediately understood that the reason why the court asked him to take over Xi Chuan was to be the firefighting captain.
They were not afraid that Xichuan would completely become Shen Yu's private land, because according to the usual practice, Shen Yu was not interested in it at all.
What's more, if people really have this idea, as long as they speak, the court dare not give it, don't give it a try!
What Shen Yu is most interested in is killing people with a knife, beating those corrupt officials, and killing those gangsters.
Corrupt officials, Jiangyang thieves, these are all in Xichuan, and they have reached the point where they are almost inexhaustible.
These civil and military officials in Xichuan are deliberately blocking the news, and outsiders cannot notice the changes in Xichuan.If you don't go to Xichuan, you will never know the real situation here.
But once Shen Yu noticed it, she would definitely be interested.
After the imperial court's transfer and appointment, even if Shen Yu refused, it was inevitable that he would be interested in Xichuan. What the imperial court had to do was actually to make him pay attention to Xichuan.
As long as he is interested and pays a little attention here, he will be able to notice the difference in Xichuan, and then he will kill in Xichuan, cutting off all those corpses who are vegetarians.
The court just wanted him to kill, the more he killed, the better.Shen Yu didn't have suitable officials to replace them, but the imperial court did.
After going back and forth, Xi Chuan is his own again, and the abacus is really quite loud.
"Faceless, do you know who is behind this manipulating all this?"
"This... this villain doesn't know!" With his head lowered, Faceless felt a little guilty, but he still insisted on saying it in order to survive.
"Actually, even He Yuan and the others don't know that they are being manipulated. Up to now, they think that they are the real master, and they don't even know that they are just a substitute."
"But the people behind it must have great plans, and even the villain speculates that their goal is not just to control these people!"
"Also, their plans may have already begun."
"My lord, the villain's Tingfeng Pavilion can find out countless information. As long as the adults want to know, the villain can find out for the adults. Trust me, I will definitely be able to help the adults!"
5 Chapter Fifty
"No face, you don't know who is behind the scenes, so do you know who are the people who are being replaced?"
"And you said that your inheritance comes from Mo Sanniang, these officials are all interested!"
"This..." Facing Shen Yu's question again, Faceless fell silent.It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that he can't.
Obviously, Shen Yu was already interested in what he said, so he couldn't say anything more.
My goal has been achieved, and Shen Yu sees her own value.The remaining dry goods have to be revealed a little bit, only in this way can I live well.
If nothing left is hollowed out, there is only one person who is useless.
"My lord!" After hesitating for a moment, Faceless then said, "I can tell my lord all these things, and I can also help my lord, just begging my lord to spare my life!"
