Gift natural power at the beginning

Chapter 247 Dilemma
In the evening, Sima Square is still lively.

Rows of various lanterns illuminate the long street extremely brightly.

People came and went on the street, and the noise shattered the supposedly silent night, showing the prosperity of Huaiping.

A barbecue restaurant called Yanyanyaki.

The aroma of spices mixed with roasted meat, mixed with the steaming heat wave, makes the atmosphere in the store very warm.

"Junior Brother Lin is a senior apprentice from Lingxi Bieyuan. Now that he is new here, let's toast first."

A large table near the balcony was filled with six people, all of whom were officials from Lin Mo's office.

None of them are too old, only about 30 years old, their cultivation base is not low, and they are all masters in the realm of life.

As far as Lin Mo knew, none of the talents cultivated by Zhou Shengjun himself were mostly selected and transferred by various forces in the city.

It's a bit like the outside practitioners in the previous life who were admitted to the system.

It seems that compared with Ningyang, Lin Yu, these counties, in Huaiping, Zhou Shengjun is more closely connected with the major forces in the city.

Lin Mo's thoughts diverged, and a gentle smile appeared on his face:

"Thank you all my colleagues for helping Lin Mou clean up the dust. I can't talk about high apprentices and the like. I hope to work with everyone and learn from each other in the future."

After finishing speaking, he first raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, then raised the wine cup, looked around, and signaled to drink it up.

At this time, he was sitting at the first place, and there were five other people on the table, a total of three men and two women.

One of the tallest men, who was only a little thinner than Lin Mo, was the first to applaud.

"Brother Lin is generous. Don't say anything else. I and the others have also stayed in this Simafang for many years. They are familiar with many affairs. If there is anything going on in the future, you can just ask us."

"That's it."

"."

There was a echo.

Lin Mo nodded with a smile, and poured the wine again.

This person's name is Liu Jie, and his background is also not small. He is a disciple of Feiheng Wuguan. He has been working in Simafang Yamen for five years. Because the power of Feiheng Wuguan has skyrocketed recently, his status in the office has also been elevated. few.

It is said that it will be promoted in a short time. If someone retreats, he will directly step up. If there is no position, he can be transferred outside. He can be regarded as the leader of their group.

There are two parties, one party intends to make friends, the other party also accepts it with pleasure, and the atmosphere gradually becomes warmer as the wine is exchanged.

The grilling platform in the center of the round table was glowing red, and skewers of meat were placed on it, and the aroma of the meat diffused in the sound of sizzling.

The topic of the people at the beginning was naturally about Lin Mo, and most of them were commonplaces, such as where are they from, whether they are married or not.

Lin Mo had already constructed a secondary rhetoric, so he naturally knew what to answer.

Soon everyone's impression of Lin Mo was that a talented warrior from a small place was lucky enough to enter Lingxi Bieyuan, and then by some kind of opportunity, he came to Simafang Yamen.

As for what kind of opportunity, Lin Mo didn't say clearly, just shook his head with a smile, and they didn't ask about it tactfully.

After all, if the disciples of Lingxi Outer Court want to go out to choose a job, it is easy and easy, but it is also difficult to say. In their opinion, Lin Mo must have paid a certain price to get this job, and the secret may be hard to gnash.

So it didn't take long for the topic to drift.

"Boss, I heard you are leaving?"

The one who spoke was a woman among the five, named Sun Miao, she had fair skin, and her facial features were not exquisite, but her whiteness covered all ugliness, plus she often practiced martial arts and had a strong figure, so she was also considered beautiful.

At this time, she drank a lot of wine, and she was close to the grilling table, her pretty face was flushed, she was a little curious, and looked at Liu Jie who was seated opposite her with envy.

"." Liu Jie, who had always been bold, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he kept silent and just nodded.

He poured himself another glass of wine.

"A job in the imperial court is like this. In terms of seniority, there is one carrot and one hole. The people in front of you don't move. If you want to climb up, where else can you go outside?" Another thin man named Xue Gui suddenly said,
"In the final analysis, we are just some outsiders. If it weren't for Master Jie's hard work, we might not even have the opportunity to be transferred outside. We can only rely on the number of years to slowly survive."

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated. In fact, I wanted to go out of Simafang a long time ago. I went outside to have a look. After all, being an official here is not so risky, haha.
Now I have got my wish, and I can’t say that I will come back next time. When you see me, you have to call Liu Dutong.” Liu Jie smiled and said freely.

The crowd did not speak.

What Liu Jie said does sound reasonable, because although Simafang is only located in Central, it has a special geographical location, and the Taihuai Ferry not far away is also in its jurisdiction, so it is a little different.

The biggest thing is the benefit.

The caravans of wealthy merchants traveling between states are like crucian carp crossing the river, relying on the Taihuai River to travel between states.

And those who are qualified to do cross-state business can be said to be very powerful, otherwise they would not be able to deal with the domineering water bandits on the river, and the more terrifying water beasts.

Because of this, these forces, like dragons crossing the river, usually come to stop at the ferry, and they will sell their face to these local snakes for convenience.

The result is that people like Lin Mo and the others have a lot of gray extra money.

"I have a gossip that Fang Dutong probably won't be able to escape this time." Liu Jie suddenly said again. "The amount of bribes he received in violation of regulations is ridiculously large. It is said that there are dozens of yuan stones alone. When he was arrested by the monitoring team, he didn't even give an excuse and was taken away."

Everyone didn't speak, even Lin Mo was silent.

Needless to say, this matter is gossip, because the relevant notice has already been posted on the bulletin board of the yamen.

The original text of the notice reads, "Fang Yun, the governor of Simafang Yamen, has never really established the concept of impartial law enforcement, and has never seriously performed his duties." '

These two nevers alone are enough to illustrate the seriousness of the matter.

Even if the exact punishment result is not issued, the ending seems to be doomed.

"In recent years, the management from above has been strict, and the outsiders have also been generous in their actions. Therefore, in our business, you must have a degree, what kind of status, what kind of business power you come into contact with, and what level of gifts you receive. .” Liu Jie sighed again.

It's just that sometimes the truth is very simple and you understand it, but if you put your salary sum of several years, even more than ten years, and even the secret medicine to break through the realm in front of you, who can't be tempted?
"Of course, don't think too much about it." Liu Jie seemed to see that the faces of the other people turned a little ugly, and Liu Jie smiled and waved his hands.

"Normally, there's nothing wrong with it. As long as you don't touch those forbidden goods, you should normally collect them and take them."

After all, the meat on the grill was almost cooked, and the meat was fragrant, and they began to divide the meat actively.

Later, while eating and drinking, Liu Jie took the initiative to tell Lin Mo and the others, mainly Lin Mo, about his past working experience.

After all, the purpose of tonight is to catch up with Lin Mo. As a newcomer, these things are naturally the most useful.

Lin Mo is also happy about this.

Everyone chatted while drinking and eating meat, and the time passed quickly.

This restaurant is indeed well-established. The owner is from Yuzhou. A few years ago when Yuzhou rebelled, he came directly by boat and opened a barbecue restaurant here. The taste is delicious and the portions are plentiful, so it is very popular.

Lin Mo and the others ate together for two full hours, and when they left in the middle of the night, the shop was still full of people and lively as before.
.
In the end, of course, it wasn't Lin Mo who paid the money. As the protagonist of the banquet, it was the big brother Liu Jie who paid.

After parting from everyone, Lin Mo walked towards the residence.

Compared with Lingmiaofang and Tea Ceremony, Simafang is undoubtedly much more lively.

Among the people walking on the street, most of them are foreigners.

According to his observation, most of them are of course from Huaizhou, followed by people from Taizhou, and there are also many people from Yuzhou.

It's easy to recognize. Compared with Huaizhou people, Taizhou people often like to hang ribbons around their necks as decorations. It is said that they are for the protection of the Dragon King.

The people of Yuzhou, because of the bitter cold of Yuzhou, are generally taller and have rougher faces than the people of Huaizhou and Taizhou.

Similarly, there are many conflicts when there are many people. In this regard, there are many people drinking and making trouble. In order to maintain law and order, the patrolling Sergeant Zhou Sheng can be seen on the street from time to time catching suspicious people for interrogation.

A few people also approached Lin Mo. After all, he had a vicious figure, with a big bald head and a strong figure.

It can only be said that he is not a good person.

But when he showed the signboard of Simafang Yamen, the sergeant didn't feel embarrassed, after all, he was a colleague, and he let him go directly after a few words.

Back to the residence.

Lin Mo didn't waste time.

After taking a hot bath to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his lower body, he continued to practice.

Before going out to socialize, his original purpose was to get acquainted with his colleagues, and by the way, learn about the responsibilities of the Simafang Yamen and what he needs to do from many aspects.

Now that the goal has been achieved, although it is not necessarily comprehensive, it is also known in general.

Indeed, as Shi Qiong said, either copy and process the files, or go out to inspect the water transportation.

Some are like customs.

The problem that needs attention is also simple, that is, don't be too greedy.

At least according to Liu Jie and others, this is basically the case.

After he had a general idea of ​​these chores, Lin Mo felt relieved and continued to immerse himself in practice.

The first thing in the list is naturally the cultivation of Arhat style.

After getting a large amount of no-mind sandalwood, the progress is gratifying.

Because of the talent beads, after the first big cycle, the practice route has been fixed, and the rest is just the accumulation of proficiency, and the existence of no-mind sandalwood is like an experience card, which can speed up this progress.

Compared with ordinary people, he can be said to have cultivated very quickly.

In fact, Lin Mo really likes to practice such demanding, difficult and powerful exercises as Arhat Body and Wutu Spirit Body.

Because only this kind of cultivation method can truly give full play to his advantages.

In addition, the practice of the Sutra of the Stone Buddha Tathagata has not been left behind.

After all, realm is fundamental.

Blindly oppressing people with talents, crossing borders and conquests is great, but it's hard to guarantee that you won't meet people with the same talents.

However, for the cultivation of life-setting state, the energy and blood state is mainly above the conversion of willpower.

The more qi and blood there are, the stronger the intention to transform, but the slower the speed is, this is hard work, there is no rush, and it can only rely on time to endure.

"No, maybe there is a secret medicine to increase the speed of cultivation, but I am limited by my knowledge and don't know."

Lin Mo suddenly thought of this.

After all, pills and secret medicines are all created by humans, and there is a market for them if there is demand.

For the sake of profit, people will naturally study here one after another.

When you are free, you can go to Danfang to have a look, and it happens that you have almost read the medicine books.

But before that, you have to open source.

Lin Mo practiced for a whole week, looked at the half-burned sandalwood, flicked it out with his fingers, and then took out the refined jerky from the empty stone ring and began to chew and eat.

There is nothing wrong with the saying "Poor Wen Fu Wu".

After getting the spoils from Shang Xubai and others, Lin Mo hasn't been embarrassed for a long time.

It's just that during the time since he came to Huaiping, he never wronged himself in terms of diet and daily life. In addition, he eats a lot and likes to conduct drug experiments. It can be said that he spends money like water, but it makes him faintly feel that the money is not enough up.

Living in Huaiping is not easy.

He felt it for the first time.

Lingmiaofang, in the elegantly decorated clubhouse.

A man with a tall and straight figure and a well-proportioned appearance was working his body solemnly.

"Brother Yi, what are you doing here? Are you still practicing kung fu in your busy schedule, so you won't be tired later?" The boy beside him was arranging the utensils, and he couldn't help but wondered.

"Hehe, it's okay. I bought a pair of strong bone powder yesterday, and the effect is still there. If you don't practice, it's a waste. I know how to measure it." The young man retracted his airs and smiled.

"Okay, call me if you need something." The boy took his things and went out.

The boy pondered for a while, then continued to put on airs.

No matter how good-looking a person is, he can't be good-looking for a lifetime. Only strength is true.

Not long after, there was another whirring sound in the room.
