I got the underworld gift pack

Chapter 28 Prestige and luck cannot have both

The old man with a withered face opened his eyes. When he closed his eyes, his entire cheeks looked like a dying old man, but when he opened his eyes, those eyes contained a bright light, which made people dare not look down.

Jiang Youde glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, and snorted coldly: "Wangsun, how many times have I said this, but you just can't control your mouth, what do you mean by knocking? I came down to inspect on behalf of the Dingjiang magistrate. heavy duty."

The middle-aged man with a jade-like face quickly nodded and said, "Godfather forgives his sins, my son was so proud, he forgot his godfather's teachings."

"Don't be angry, godfather, come on, eat a cherry, Brother Jiu is also unintentional. She opened a box behind her, revealing a fruit plate still occupied with water droplets, two jade-like fingers pinched a cherry toward the It was sent to Jiang Youde's mouth.

Jiang Youde ate it quite usefully: "It's still good for Bao'er, Bao'er, tell you Ninth Brother, what to say and what not to say when you are out."

The pretty girl called Bao'er took a peek at the middle-aged man opposite, and said with a tender smile, "How dare Bao'er teach Ninth brother a lesson."

"If you want to say it, just say it, why, I don't listen to what I say?" Jiang Youde showed displeasure.

The pretty girl didn't dare to say anything, so she said: "Godfather taught us that we should always talk about benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, righteousness and justice, and always put the prefect in the first place. ."

"Well." Jiang Youde nodded in satisfaction.

"What little sister taught is that brother fool remembers it." The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.

His mouth was respectful, he raised his eyelids and looked over, just in time to meet the teasing face of the woman opposite, but a threatening color flashed in his eyes, the woman stuck out her tongue playfully, and quickly covered it up.

Jiang Youde's attention was no longer on the two of them, but turned to look outside the carriage.

"Ancheng County, I saw that Qiu Jian school three years ago. The latter is also a hero, and he has a bit of courage. I didn't expect to be planted in the hands of this Xu county magistrate. It's really terrifying."

"What about some methods? In Dingjiang Mansion, it's not our Jiang family who have the final say." The middle-aged man laughed.

Jiang Youde glanced at him, but this time he didn't scold him.Because the latter is right, the prefect manages one government and holds the military and political power. Unless you are crazy, who would dare to have trouble with the prefect?

In Dingjiang Mansion, the Jiang family is the largest.Furthermore, the Jiang family now has a Jiang Lang who ranks No. 20 on the Great Xia Innate Ranking.It is even more doomed to the Jiang family's unbreakable position.

After walking for half an hour, it was getting closer and closer to Ancheng County.

"Go, let me know, just say that I am here, Jiang Youde." He chuckled lightly.The middle-aged man took the lead, opened the curtain of the carriage, and spoke to a police officer next to the carriage, who immediately threw his whip away.

"Let's rest."

As soon as the official left, Jiang Youde gave another order.The patrolling team stopped.

The pretty woman waited for Jiang Youde to eat and drink, the latter fell asleep, and then smiled at the middle-aged man beside him, and both got off the carriage.

"Little sister, the forest in the distance is good, let's go take a look?" The middle-aged man said, pointing to the lonely forest in the distance, which was in the cold winter and covered with unmelted white snow.

The pretty woman smiled sweetly, nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't seen such scenery for a long time."

The two left together.

Entering the jungle to cover, and waiting for the police officer to see it, the smile on the middle-aged man's face faded instantly, he grabbed the long hair of the pretty woman beside him, looked at her gloomily and said, "You bitch, dare to teach me a lesson. me?"

The pretty woman's face was distorted for a moment because of the pain, but she immediately turned into a charming smile, slipped into the man's arms, and said delicately: "Good brother, how can you blame others, it's the godfather who sent them... They will compensate you for it. Can't you?"

She grabbed the middle-aged man's palm and placed it in her heart, and served the latter in this icy and snowy forest.

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes slightly in enjoyment, but said in his mouth, "I asked you to deliberately please this old guy, in order to get out the huge treasure he has restrained, this old person is greedy, and the restrained money is probably enough. There are tens of millions. As long as this vote is made, the mountain can be closed for the rest of my life."

"Um...uh..." the pretty woman agreed.

The two of them gathered around Jiang Youde for the sake of Jiang Youde's wealth, godfather?Just to stay by Jiang Youde's side.

"This old man is obviously greedy in his bones and does all kinds of evil, but he is full of benevolence and morality. Every time he goes to a county for inspection, he will pass it on first, and he will sleep by the heater in the carriage, and when will he wake up? Let’s go again. Judging from the attitude of the county magistrates, the people who are ready to welcome the banquet are the people of the same road, who can take the money and leave. And those who can’t do things, hehe, if you think about getting the money, you have to approve a job. "Jiang Wangsun sneered: "I think I was still studying hard at the beginning, but it's ridiculous to think about it now. What is the most important thing in this world, power and money, reading? It's just being teased by these corrupt officials."

He felt that he had seen through the officialdom and the world, but it was just that he couldn't refine his qi, and that was the only way he could deceive him.

"It depends on whether the magistrate Xu will become an official."

……

Ancheng County, the county government office.

Xu Chuan was sitting in the warm room, tasting the stir-fry made by Aunt Su, and drinking the nourishing medicinal wine sent by Luo Xingtang.

Speaking of Luo Xingtang, this Luo Xingtang is really bad as a doctor, but he is a literate person. After the death of Wang Zhushu, there was a lack of a principal in the county. Xu Chuan thought of him, and he came to the door and sincerely invited him. Luo Xingtang, who had been in prison, was flattered, and he had no pursuit of medical skills. Even if he agreed, he became the new head of Ancheng County.

Under the management of Luo Xingtang, the new master, and the grandfather of Xuchuan County, Ancheng County is now a peaceful place with good weather.

You don't have to worry about business affairs. Of course, Xu Chuan spends more time on his practice, but his practice must be relaxed and moderate.

And the artistic conception level is very mysterious. In order to make his swordsmanship reach the artistic conception level, the Snow Mountain Swordsman practiced crazy, and finally reached the artistic conception level, but in the end he lost his mind.

Ended up in a miserable end.

Now really let him say what that feels like.

Snow Mountain Swordsman will only lick his tongue: "I feel that I am invincible in the world. No life, no strong person, can stop my sword."

Very cool, very invincible, cut all life horizontally, only know how to kill, can't help but kill, but the self-feeling is not true after all, and finally the swordsman of the snow mountain was killed by the master of the priesthood.

Obviously his sword is not invincible yet.Maybe even Jiang Lang, the fourth son of the prefect, could not beat him.

"At the level of artistic conception, you have to be enlightened and insane, but you can't get lost and die." Xu Chuan learned the lessons of the Snow Mountain Swordsman.

"My lord, my lord, the prefect's inspection officer came to the front of the house to report, saying that the inspector will be here soon." A servant hurried to report.

"It's coming? The official document arrived, and the people arrived. This Jiang Youde will not be the first to come to my Ancheng County." Xu Chuan thought.

But it's time to come. He is now enjoying good weather in Ancheng County, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and there is not a lot of taxes that should be paid.

"Well, I see..." Xu Chuan waved his hand and was about to tell him to ignore it, when suddenly a decision option appeared in his mind: "One, ignore the notification and ignore Jiang Youde's arrival. Prestige +50, luck -50."

"Second, make preparations early and arrange a banquet. Reputation -10. Luck +10."

"Three, wait in front of the city gate in person, and immediately welcome the guard of honor, mobilize the people in the city to greet each other, reputation -50, luck +50, Jiang Youde's favorability +20."

Depend on!
Xu Chuan almost vomited out the old wine he had just drank in his stomach.

what's the situation?
Three options, one is too much, and the third option even asks him to wait at the city gate in person?Also put up a guard of honor and greet each other?Isn't this licking people?

This... is a bit too flattering, let's lose the face of the county magistrate.

After all, although Jiang Youde's background is not small, the official position he can go to is only the official of a county, and their official positions are the same.

"Choose one, the prestige will increase, but the luck will be reduced? If you choose two, the prestige will be reduced by a small amount, and the luck will be increased by a small amount. If you choose three, the prestige will be greatly reduced, and the luck will be increased a lot, and Jiang Youde will be improved. the favorability." Xu Chuan instantly analyzed these three options in his mind.

Reputation is his reputation as an official. If Jiang Youde's inspections are ignored at all, the people will praise him.But invisibly offended Jiang Youde.

Officials pay great attention to etiquette. I don’t know how many of the official’s words are wrong. If you don’t do one thing well, you will offend people.

Choice [-], reputation will be reduced by a little bit, and luck will be increased by a little bit, which is a balance.Choose three.Prestige will have a certain impact, but more luck.

According to Xu Chuan's experience for such a long time, the luck value is an important value to measure his own advantages and disadvantages.

Good fortune is good for him, and good fortune means bad luck.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath.Measured from left to right, after the prestige is improved, what is improved is the understanding of Taoism.But luck is right or wrong, affecting your own future.

"Luck is great, choose three."

Xu Chuan made a decision.In officialdom, people can't help themselves. Sometimes it's not possible to have the best of both worlds. Prestige and luck can't have both.

"Sir, what other orders do you have?" The servant looked at his county magistrate with his palm raised, but froze and pondered, unable to help.

Xu Chuan said: "Go on, immediately notify the county squire in the county, and accompany the official to meet the inspection outside the city. In addition, in my name, go to the "Dongxia Restaurant" to prepare a banquet, and remember to bring silver taels from the counter. ."

"Yes."

The man turned around quickly.

After a while, the county magistrate was dressed neatly and went to the gate of the city with great fanfare to welcome the inspection.

This movement naturally alarmed the entire county.

"Master Xu, what is this doing?"

"I heard that it is to meet the inspection sent by the prefect."

"Oh. Shangguan is coming."

"What Shangguan is that dog officer of Jiang Youde's peerless son and peerless grandson."

"What, it's him? How does Master Xu greet him?"

"Not only welcoming, but also preparing a banquet at Dongxia Restaurant."

"This…"

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred, Xu county magistrate, with great fanfare, personally went out of the city to meet the corrupt official Jiang Youde news spread like wildfire.

It was a small blow to Xu Chuan's reputation.

Xu Chuan sat on the horse, stood in front of the city, and waited for Jiang Youde. The first wait was two hours. The dissatisfaction of the people came one after another, and the guards of honor were a little sleepy. Xu Chuan felt a slight decline in the "speed of thinking" in the sea of ​​​​knowledge. , I feel like I have to wait here like a monkey, I regret it a little, did I choose the wrong one?It's a bit of a loss.

Just as he was muttering in his heart, a team of officers and horses slowly approached in the distance.

"Sir, Xu Chuan, the magistrate of Ancheng County, greeted him at the gate of the city. It is said that he has been waiting for two hours." A message came from the front of Jiang Youde's carriage.

"What?" The middle-aged man on the carriage, the pretty woman and even Jiang Youde were surprised to lift the curtain.

As soon as he opened it, he saw Xu Chuan sitting upright on the horse at the top of the guard of honor in front of the city gate.

Jiang Youde burst into tears: "Good official, good official, this magistrate Xu is a good official."

He inspected the county town, and he has never received such courtesy. These days, who is not good at face, this county magistrate Xu is a good official and has a future!
