Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2012 - The evil envoy of India

The Kingdom of Tianzhu is the largest country in West Niu He Continent, with vast territory and a large population. It is also the birthplace of Buddhism and the foundation of the Western Paradise.

The control of the Western Paradise over the Kingdom of Tianzhu is naturally conceivable. Although Fengxian County has already destroyed the Dharma and rejected Buddhism, it is only one of the many prefectures in the Kingdom of Tianzhu.

The Kingdom of Tianzhu naturally has control over Fengxian County. The magistrate of Fengxian County is also a subject under the King of Tianzhu.

"If we use the power of the Kingdom of Tianzhu to control Fengxian County, wouldn't that be very easy?"

Tathagata instructed Guanyin.

The Kingdom of Tianzhu was already under the control of Buddhism. Naturally, the King of Tianzhu did not dare to neglect Tathagata's Buddhist decree and immediately sent an envoy to Fengxian County to take control.

At this time, Chu Hao was not in Fengxian County but had returned to the Law Enforcement Hall. After all, he had captured Zhulong and had to imprison him in the Law Enforcement Hall.

"Zhulong, considering that you were also instigated and took the initiative to confess the mastermind in the Western Paradise, I hereby grant you a special pardon to be transferred to the third level of the Law Enforcement Hall, and your sentence is reduced to a thousand years."

Zhulong was also considered one of the demon ancestors, and he also showed repentance, so Chu Hao also granted him a special pardon.

"Thank you, Prison God!"

Zhulong was naturally grateful and thanked him for such a special pardon, which reduced his sentence to one-fifth.

"Prison God, the Jade Emperor invites you to the Lingxiao Palace for a meeting."

Just as Chu Hao finished dealing with Zhulong's affairs and wanted to return to Fengxian County, Taibai Jinxing came to deliver the decree that the Jade Emperor wanted to summon Chu Hao.

Chu Hao had no choice but to follow Taibai Jinxing to the Lingxiao Palace.

However, the Jade Emperor's summons to Chu Hao was not a major event. It was just that Chu Hao had made a great contribution in handling this matter, and with the strength of a saint, the Jade Emperor naturally valued him even more.

At this time, in Fengxian County, Tang Seng and his disciples were chatting with the magistrate.

Tang Seng felt that his days in Fengxian County were not short, and he was preparing to leave here and continue westward.

Although the estrangement between Tang Seng and the Western Paradise seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, the Journey to the West mission still had to be carried out.

"Elder Tang, thank you for helping Fengxian County through the disaster. I will now exchange the official documents for you."

Just as the magistrate took out the seal and wanted to stamp it for Tang Seng and the others, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Then a group of people rushed in, led by a guy with a horse face.

"Shangguan, the magistrate of Fengxian County, why don't you kneel to receive the King's decree!"

The horse face was naturally the envoy sent by the Kingdom of Tianzhu to control the situation in Fengxian County.

The magistrate immediately knelt down and shouted, "Long live the King!"

"Shangguan, the magistrate of Fengxian County, has been ineffective in his administration, resulting in the decline of commerce and the suffering of the people in Fengxian County. He is immediately removed from the post of magistrate and reduced to a commoner!

The affairs of Fengxian County shall be temporarily handled by the envoy, so that the people can restore order and live and work in peace."

After the horse-faced envoy announced the King's decree, he immediately had people snatch the seal from Shangguan, the magistrate's hand.

"Drive Shangguan and these irrelevant people out of the magistrate's mansion."

The horse-faced envoy was not polite at all, and then had people drive Shangguan, Tang Seng, and others out of the magistrate's mansion.

"What's going on?"

Tang Seng and the others were driven out, not knowing why such a sudden change occurred.

"Master, in my opinion, this matter is probably not simple. Let's discuss it with my brother when he comes back."

Sun Wukong said to Tang Seng, now that Chu Hao had not yet returned.

Magistrate Shangguan and Tang Seng and the others could only temporarily find an inn to settle down and wait for Chu Hao to return.

Magistrate Shangguan didn't care about being removed from office. What he cared about was the people of Fengxian County.

After the horse-faced envoy drove out Magistrate Shangguan, he took over all the affairs of Fengxian County and took over all official powers.

"Immediately post a notice to inform the people of the removal of Magistrate Shangguan.

Moreover, I want the people to immediately prepare to rebuild the temple and believe in Buddhism. Anyone who dares to disobey will be arrested."

The horse-faced envoy was not only an envoy sent by the King but also a fanatical Buddhist, which was also secretly arranged by the Western Paradise.

With this horse-faced envoy here, how could he allow the people not to believe in Buddha? He immediately wanted to rebuild the temple and let the people of Fengxian County worship the Buddha.

Although the horse-faced envoy issued an official notice, the people of Fengxian County did not buy it.

The people of Fengxian County knew the ugly face of the Western Paradise and suffered from the disasters brought by the Western Paradise. How could they obey if they were asked to believe in the Buddha again?

Therefore, on the first day alone, nearly a thousand people were arrested and imprisoned for refusing to rebuild the temple and believe in Buddhism.

"Why dismiss such a good official as Magistrate Shangguan?"

"And we have to rebuild the temple, bah!"

"The Buddha is our enemy, how can we worship him!"

The people were naturally extremely indignant at the dismissal of Magistrate Shangguan and the horse-faced envoy's forced demand for the people to build temples and believe in Buddhism.

Fengxian County had just survived the natural disaster, and the man-made disaster immediately followed. The people of Fengxian County were also constantly suffering.

However, the horse-faced envoy was very vicious and evil, and his management of the people was also quite ruthless. Faced with the people's refusal to cooperate, he even mobilized the army.

On the second day, thousands more people were imprisoned, and soldiers were forced to chain up the strong men and begin to rebuild the temple.

"Amitabha, how can this King's envoy be so excessive?"

Seeing such a situation, Tang Seng was very angry.

"Alas, poor people of Fengxian County, is it possible that the suffering will never end?"

Magistrate Shangguan couldn't help but shed tears for the suffering of his people, but after all, he had no power and was powerless to do anything about it.

"Master, why don't I, Old Sun, go and teach that vicious envoy a lesson."

Sun Wukong suggested to Tang Seng.

"Count me in, watch me sit that envoy into a meat pie with my butt."

Zhu Bajie couldn't help but say, wanting to go with Sun Wukong to teach the horse-faced envoy a lesson.

"This… I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Tang Seng said with some embarrassment. It was naturally no problem for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to teach a mortal envoy a lesson.

But Tang Seng was afraid that they would be too heavy-handed, causing death or even implicating innocent people.

"We shouldn't take action!"

Just as Sun Wukong and Tang Seng were discussing this issue, Chu Hao returned to Fengxian County and found them.

"Brother, you're back. Do you know the current situation in Fengxian County?"

"Boss, that vicious envoy is harming the people."

Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong didn't understand why Chu Hao stopped them from teaching the envoy a lesson.

"I know everything, but this time it's a matter of mortals. It's useless for us to take action. Even if we really beat that horse-faced envoy to death, I'm afraid there will be a new envoy coming.

If the people of Fengxian County cannot save themselves, we cannot maintain them for a long time."
