I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

"Otherwise, let me go." Murong Jiu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice. Among the three of them, Jiang Qingli was not suitable to show up. Tantai Xi was at the highest level and suitable to stay in Cangyun County to prevent the murderer's next attack. After much thought, she decided that she was the only one to attend Jiang Linglong's enthronement ceremony. , and then explain all this clearly to Jiang Linglong to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

The more important concern is that she is worried that if the murderer who kidnapped Ji Xinyue and fled to the back mountain commits another crime or is discovered, only Dan among the three is qualified to fight him. On the evening of the 6th, it was obvious that she and Jiang Qingli were no match for the murderer.

Unexpectedly, Tantai Xi smiled and said, "Jiu'er, do you agree to attend Jiang Linglong's coronation ceremony? Does your master Su Yue agree?"

"Alas." When Murong Jiu heard this, he suddenly wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, and the only sound in his mouth was a sigh.

Murong Jiu's master is the master of Xingyue Palace, Su Yue Zhenren. Previously, due to the sect rules, he was furious at Murong Jiu for marrying Lu Yuan without permission. Later, after getting to know Lu Yuan deeply, he gradually changed his attitude. Although he had always been He didn't explicitly agree with Murong Jiu's marriage, but basically he didn't obstruct it anymore, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

But there was another thing. Murong Jiu had to respect Su Yue. The cultural atmosphere of Xingyue Palace is that one disdains all fame and fortune. Therefore, as the palace master, Su Yue Zhenren naturally disdains the powerful and is not afraid of the imperial power. When Murong Jiu was a child, something happened that still left a deep impression on her.

Xingyue Palace is located in Yongzhou among the thirteen states. Murong Jiu was still young and still practicing in the sect. The county governor of Yongzhou once celebrated his 100th birthday and invited Xingyue Palace to attend. At that time, Xingyue Palace was one of the top sects in Yongzhou. The Yongzhou County Sheriff did not invite the heads of those sects that time, but only invited Suyue Zhenren. It can be said that it gave him enough face.

Not only that, the governor of Yongzhou County also made a special request to the late emperor to reward Xingyue Palace for its centuries-old contribution to guarding Yongzhou. The late emperor agreed and issued an edict to reward Suyue Zhenren with an official position. Although the official position is not big, it is to assist the county guard in managing various sects and factions in Yongzhou. The actual power in his hands is very small, but the significance is of great importance.

There was almost no precedent for the Jianghu sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be rewarded by the royal family. Therefore, the fact that Suyue Zhenren received the reward from the late emperor at that time can be said to have shocked the world and inspired countless sects to see the hope of entering an official career.

At that time, not only the entire Jianghu, but also the entire Xingyue Palace disciples were full of expectations. They were looking forward to the glorious moment when Su Yue received the royal award at the governor's 100th birthday banquet. However, under such a highly anticipated situation, Su Yue... Master Yue directly refused to attend the birthday banquet, and also refused the official position awarded by the late emperor. The whole world was in an uproar!
The Yongzhou County Sheriff came to Xingyue Palace all night for this reason, but Suyue Zhenren didn't give him any face at all, and he didn't even let him step through the gate. In order to prevent the relationship with the county governor from getting too tense, Suyue Zhenren reluctantly agreed to meet with the county governor after being persuaded by several masters in the palace.

Zhenren Suyue asked someone to set up a coffee table and two benches at the door, and formally talked with the Yongzhou County Sheriff. Murong Jiu happened to be nearby at that time, making tea for the two of them.

The Yongzhou County Sheriff thought that he had offended Master Su Yue somewhere, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake as soon as he opened his mouth. He also thought that Master Su Yue was not informed in advance about the reward, which made Master Su Yue angry. In fact, the fundamental reason is that Su Yue Zhenren looked down upon Yongzhou County Governor and turned his fame and wealth into dirt. For Su Yue Zhenren, he was promoted to an official position, which was a great shame and humiliation.

These words were spoken by Murong Jiu, Master Su Yue, in front of the Yongzhou County Sheriff. The governor of Yongzhou County tried every means to persuade Su Yue, and even used the imperial edict of the late emperor to pressure Su Yue, saying that if she did not accept the reward, she would be disobeying and committing the crime of bullying the emperor. Unexpectedly, Su Yue said that she would not let him do it when the time came. Difficult. On the day of the 100th birthday banquet, the Yongzhou County Sheriff read out the imperial edict of the late emperor at the birthday banquet in accordance with the etiquette procedures. Suyue Zhenren sent a master to receive the edict on her behalf. After receiving the edict, he left the county governor. Mansion. The next day, the Yongzhou County Sheriff received a resignation letter, written by Su Yue Zhenren. It turned out that this was the way Su Yue Zhenren said he would not embarrass him.

She accepted the reward from the late emperor, but resigned. The resignation did not need to go through the late emperor, but only needed to be decided by the county governor. This was not considered a violation of the imperial edict.

Murong Jiu was very worried at the time, because by doing this, Suyue Zhenren was actually putting the Yongzhou County Governor on the fire. If he agreed, then in the future when the court held accountable, the responsibility would not lie with Xingyue Palace, but with his County Governor. . Murong Jiu listened to several masters chatting in private, and almost all thought that the Yongzhou County Sheriff would be angry and refuse Master Su Yue's resignation.

However, in the afternoon of that day, Xingyue Palace received a reply, and the governor of Yongzhou agreed to her resignation. This incident also set a record for the fastest official resignation in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and caused a lot of heated discussions in the Great Zhou Dynasty. One thing that the people are most concerned about is that the governor of Yongzhou, Why are you so magnanimous to Master Suyue of Xingyue Palace?
Murong Jiu was also curious at that time. Once she asked Master Su Yue, but Master Su Yue just said that she would know in the future. That "future" came faster than she expected. A flood broke out in Yongzhou that year. The Yongzhou County Sheriff went to the countryside to inspect the disaster, but unfortunately he was washed away by the flood. It was not until half a month later that the people found him downstream. corpse.

What Murong Jiu didn't expect was that on the day the Youzhou County Sheriff was buried, Su Yue changed into a black dress and went to attend the funeral. It was also that night that she learned from several other masters that Su Yue was quite rebellious when she was young. She traveled down the mountain privately and met the Youzhou County Sheriff who was anonymous and observed the sentiments of the people among the people.

Later, after Su Yue learned that the other party was the governor of Youzhou County, he decisively broke off this bad relationship. But this Youzhou County Sheriff was obsessed with Su Yue. He never married a wife, had children, or took concubines. He waited for her all his life.

At this time, after Tantai Xi's reminder, Murong Jiu recalled this past event. Her master, Su Yue Zhenren, cut her off ruthlessly because the person she loved was an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although there was a sect rule that women from the Xingyue Palace were not allowed to marry, it could also be seen from this the master's attitude towards the officialdom.

"Then what should I do? If I go to attend Jiang Linglong's enthronement ceremony, Master will definitely be furious. I married my husband privately, and I have already disobeyed her once. I can't disobey her again." After Murong Jiu realized this problem, he changed Extremely helpless.

"Qingli, Jiu'er, I'll go." In the end, Tantai Xi decided that she would go to the imperial capital. "You don't have to worry. After I leave, there will be no top masters in Cangyun County. I have informed the masters from Sifang Pavilion to return. , coupled with the fact that several powerful Perfection Masters are about to come out of seclusion, the murderer should not dare to commit another crime in the short term. "

Tantai Xi remembered something again and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, Qi Changqing, the sword madman, is on the way and will arrive in Cangyun County soon. With him here, he can ensure that Cangyun County is safe." (End of Chapter)
