Obtain the divine power at the beginning

After the officials finished laughing, Shi Tianyu continued, "Ma Dehui, Jiang Xiao, and Liu Laifu inspected Anzi County, Yantai County, and Pingting County on behalf of me. In addition to supervising the important tasks of 'one rectification, two arrests, and three repairs' in these three counties, they also solved a shocking case with the cooperation of Chen Biao, the chief clerk of Anzi County. The government office has decided to commend Ma Dehui, Jiang Xiao, Liu Laifu and others and increase their official rank by one level, and recommend Ma Dehui, Jiang Xiao, and Liu Laifu to be promoted to the ninth rank." He was very grateful and always remembered the support that Ma Dehui, Jiang Xiao, Liu Laifu and others had given him when he first took office in Fucheng. He also rewarded them for their contribution in solving this major case.

"Thank you, Master Shi, for your support."

Ma Dehui was so excited that he burst into tears.

Jiang Xiao jumped and danced with joy.

Liu Lai Fu bowed repeatedly.

~~
"Clap!"

Song Ziqing led the applause again, and the court was once again filled with thunderous cheers and applause.

When the applause stopped, Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "My dear colleagues, there are still many vacancies. Let's watch a big show first. Let's have some fun and celebrate the Spring Festival in advance! Okay?"

~~
"it is good!"

"Clap!"

When the officials heard that there was still a vacancy for the important position of Chief Clerk in Anzi County, and that the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion might not have enough guards, their eyes lit up, they clapped their hands vigorously, cheered loudly, and applauded in unison.

Today is so inspiring.

~~
Hua Qianduo, Lv Ying, Dai Yuhuan, Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Tan Ruofeng, Liu Aner, Xiangxiang and other beautiful wives and concubines all came in disguise. Because now they have left the system space, they don't need Shi Tianyu to drift them, they just need to lead them out of the system space, so it won't hurt the children in their stomachs.

Moreover, it is convenient to disguise in winter. By wearing coats, no one can tell that beautiful young women like Hua Qianduo are pregnant.

~~
Shi Tianyu needed them to increase his knowledge in order to prepare for future war situations. Of course, he also deliberately arranged for Hua Qianduo, Lu Ying, and Dai Yuhuan to come, after all, this involved the promotion and appointment of the Yunlong Gang disciples, Lu's father and son, and Dai's brothers.

He had to let Hua Qianduo, Lu Ying, and Dai Yuhuan share the joy and excitement of their family and brothers gaining official recognition, and also fulfill the promise that Shi Tianyu once made to them.

It's okay to coax a girl when you're in love, but as a real man, you can't just coax her into getting her. You have to give her lifelong care and protection, and fulfill the promises you made when you were in love.

Otherwise, it would be deceiving these beautiful girls.

~~
At this time, Anzi County Magistrate Bai Youlong heard that a shocking case was solved with the cooperation of Chen Biao. He was shocked and thought to himself: Shocking case? What shocking case? Could it be that my brother Bai Youyou stole gold and got into trouble? How come I don’t know? Where are the bodyguards I hired to protect the house? Oh, something bad has happened. I also wanted to report Shi Tianyu! But I never thought that this bastard got ahead of me again.

~~
However, Bai Youlong actually guessed it right.

This is also the most important reason why Shi Tianyu wants to promote Chen Biao.

As far as this incident is concerned, Shi Tianyu originally wanted to test whether Chen Biao would inform the others. As a result, Chen Biao did not inform the others. Instead, he worked together with Ma Dehui, Jiang Xiao, Liu Laifu, as well as Xie Wen, Song Ziqing, Helan Minyue, Qin Zhiguang, Master Xuwang and others who went to support secretly, to arrest Bai Youhui who was secretly digging gold at night.

As for the bodyguards hired by Bai Youlong to guard the house, what use were they in front of high-level martial artists like Master Xuwang, Qin Zhiguang, and Helan Minyue? The only result was that they would either be beaten to death or captured.

~~
So, Shi Tianyu picked up the gavel, slammed the table, and shouted, "Come here, take Bai Youhui, who illegally dug the gold mine in Anzi County, and arrest Anzi County Magistrate Bai Youlong and County Deputy Lu Zhengtian who abused their power for personal gain."

Ma Dehui waved his hand, and several detectives brought up Bai Youhui, who was lying like a pile of mud.

Song Ziqing, Pan Dong, Chen Biao, Peng Jinshi and others stepped forward quickly and held down Bai Youlong and Lu Zhengtian.

Bai Youlong immediately shouted angrily at Shi Tianyu: "Shi Tianyu, you damned official, you took a lot of money from me, and there is no vacant magistrate position for me, but you use this excuse to kill me. You will not die well! You will be struck by lightning!"

Only then did he understand why Chen Biao had previously been appointed as the chief clerk of Anzi County.

~~
Anzi County Magistrate Lu Zhengtian also cursed: "Shi, you are a dog with a mouth that can't spit out ivory, you!"

He wanted to continue cursing, but Chen Biao locked his throat with five fingers.

~~
"Clap!"

Peng Jinshi slapped Bai Youlong twice, leaving his face covered in blood and his teeth falling out.

Bai Youlong kept chattering, but his words were elusive and no one could hear him clearly.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "My dear colleagues, do you have any objections to my proposal?"

As was customary, the opinions of everyone in the court were sought.

“No objection!”

"Master Shi is clear about rewards and punishments!"

"Master Shi is fair and strict!"

"This humble official is willing to follow Lord Shi until death!"

All the officials in the court felt satisfied and praised Shi Tianyu one after another.

In the court, except for the two veteran county magistrates, Lu Baochuan and Fang Shizhong, who looked unhappy, everyone else cheered, clapped, applauded and shouted loudly.

~~
There is no need to mention the beautiful wives and concubines such as Hua Qianduo, Lu Ying, Dai Yuhuan, Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Tan Ruofeng, Liu An'er, Xiangxiang, etc. They are really proud of their husbands and all think that being an official is the most prestigious.

Especially when Shi Tianyu picked up the gavel and banged it, he looked extremely majestic.

~~
Shi Tianyu's face immediately darkened, and he said seriously: "Wang Chao, immediately hold a court to investigate Bai Youlong's crime of condoning his brother Bai Youyou's private mining of gold. Ma Dehui, Chen Biao, Jiang Xiao, Liu Laifu and others will seize the gold bars, silver, silver bills and other gold, silver and jewelry worth 2.2 million taels of silver from the Bai brothers' house and put them into the government treasury.

Liu Cong, first allocate 300,000 taels of silver to the three Qiansui Temple guard camps as funds. Shan Wushuang, you sign on behalf of the Qiansui Temple guard camp to receive the funds. The three Qiansui Temples, each Qiansui Temple guard camp has a staff of 2,000 people, and you will be responsible for the specific division of labor. He Sihai will also serve as your clerk.

In addition, Governor Liu, give each of the errand boys in Fucheng a bonus of 100 taels of silver as a bonus, including all the brothers in the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion and the county magistrates of each county, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year happily. "

"Yes!" Shan Wushuang and He Sihai, who had just been promoted, immediately stepped out, bowed and responded to the order, walked into the inner hall, picked up their pens and wrote a receipt to the government office to collect the cash.

~~
"Okay! Thank you, Master Shi!"

"It's great to follow Master Shi! Life is really getting better and better!"

“Finally, we can have a good year this year.”

~~
Suddenly, the whole room burst into cheers and applause, and began to discuss the matter heatedly.

"No wonder Lord Shi has new initiatives after the New Year!"

"So that's how it is. It turns out that our Fucheng government is so rich!"

"Haha! It's so good to follow Master Shi. Not only can I get promoted quickly, but I can also get bonuses. In previous years, we had to pay taxes at the end of the year! Haha! It's great. This year I can have a good and happy year."

~~
Pingting County Magistrate Lu Baochuan glanced at Bai Youlong, whose face was covered in blood, and cursed Shi Tianyu in his heart, "What a eunuch! He trapped people and gathered wealth just to please the eunuch. He is worse than pigs and dogs!"

The Jiangchuan County Magistrate also secretly cursed Shi Tianyu's ancestors for eighteen generations for not being human.

Ling Feng, the magistrate of Guxiang County, looked at Shi Tianyu with complicated eyes, secretly praising Shi Tianyu for being a smart man, knowing that only by pleasing the Ninth Prince could he have a way out in the officialdom. Alas! I am unworthy of being this kid's teacher.

I never thought that after a few years, Shi Tianyu, the former junior student of the Imperial College, now has a much higher official rank than me.

Think about it, I have to report closely to Ninth Thousand Years Old about Shi Tianyu setting up a 6,000-man Qiansui Temple guard camp.

So that the Nine Thousand Years Old can help me to become the prefect as soon as possible. I have learned the art of raising money and grain from Shi Tianyu. Once I have the opportunity to become a local leader, I will be able to build a shrine for the Nine Thousand Years Old.

~~
"Open the court!" Wang Chao no longer dared to delay and sang loudly in a hurry.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. An from the Governor's Mansion has arrived!"

Shi Tianyu was startled.

Lu Baochuan, Bai Youlong, Fang Shizhong and others all had bright eyes and radiant brilliance.

All the civil servants in the room suddenly felt an ominous feeling in their hearts.

The north wind blows again, and the fallen leaves dance in the wind.

The trees revealed their skinny branches, looking bony in the cold wind.

Shi Tianyu sat in the court, thinking: If the higher-ups don't give me face, why should I try to please these people whose official rank is far inferior to mine? At worst, I won't be an official anymore. Anyway, I have so much money now, so much that I can't count it. Humph!

~~
In addition to Xiang Laixiang, Tian Lufeng also accompanied An Ziwu.

Xiang Laixiang came to Fucheng again, which made Shi Tianyu very embarrassed again.

An Ziwu glanced at Bai Youlong who was lying on the ground, his face full of helplessness. He walked forward, clasped his hands, bowed to Shi Tianyu, and said, "Sir Shi, I'm sorry! I was ordered to come here to read out the personnel appointments and dismissals of the Governor's Office. Sorry for disturbing you."

After all, Shi Tianyu's official title is much higher than An Ziwu's.

An Ziwu might never become a second-rank official in his lifetime.

So, after An Ziwu saw that Shi Tianyu was unhappy, he apologized to Shi Tianyu again, respectfully.

~~
Xiang Laixiang and Tian Lufeng also came over helplessly, bowed to Shi Tianyu, and said in unison: "Your subordinates pay their respects to Lord Shi." However, seeing Shi Tianyu's embarrassment, Xiang Laixiang was very happy and excited, and wanted to see Shi Tianyu's embarrassment. If she hadn't been standing in front of Shi Tianyu's desk, Xiang Laixiang would definitely dance with joy, she was so excited and proud.

~~
Shi Tianyu waved his hand and said coldly: "An Ziwu, just tell me what you want to say. I'm very busy!"

He was so angry that he named names.

In the past, I was able to calm down when I encountered angry or dangerous things, but today I was too angry.

As soon as the Bai brothers were arrested, people came from the other side.

~~
Based on Shi Tianyu's experience in the underworld and in officialdom, he knew that the personnel appointments and dismissals announced by An Ziwu must be related to Bai Youlong.

In the past, Bai Youlong paid tribute to Dai Kun every year. How much money did he spend?

Now that Dai Kun holds great power and has Lu Yuan as his backer, he has to take care of Bai Youlong, right?

~~
In the past, Shi Tianyu always greeted An Ziwu and others with a smile, and would respectfully address An Ziwu as "Master An", but this time, he had a cold and dark face. This also made An Ziwu, Xiang Laixiang, and Tian Lufeng very angry, but they had no choice because Shi Tianyu was now much more senior than them. An Ziwu, Xiang Laixiang, and Tian Lufeng had to stand aside.

After An Ziwu stood up, he calmed down a little, tactfully clasped his hands together, and bowed to Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu nodded.

~~
An Ziwu then turned aside and said, "Fang Shizhong, Bai Youlong, and Lu Baochuan have made outstanding achievements in promoting the important tasks of 'one rectification, two grasps, and three repairs', and have won wide acclaim. With the recommendation of the Governor's Office and the approval of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, Fang Shizhong has been promoted to the position of Supervisor of the Fucheng Salt Tax Department, Bai Youlong has been promoted to the position of Supervisor of the Fucheng Tax Department, and Lu Baochuan has been promoted to the position of Supervisor of the Fucheng Heliang Department. They will take office today."

He took out another official document and read out the joint document from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue with embarrassment.

Bai Youlong then yelled at Shi Tianyu, "Haha! You bastard Shi, your grandfather got promoted again, why don't you come over and untie me?" He immediately laughed so hard that he vomited blood, and his toothless gums were exposed in his laughter.

The people in the Fucheng government office looked at Shi Tianyu in a daze.

Hua Qianduo, Lu Ying, Dai Yuhuan, Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Tan Ruofeng, Liu An'er, Xiangxiang and other beautiful wives and concubines really wanted to step forward and slap Bai Youlong a few times. They all looked angry, clenched their fists and gritted their palms, and stepped forward, but were stopped by Helan Minyue and Zhang Hui.

~~
Lu Baochuan also shouted at Shi Tianyu: "Shi Tianyu, you abused your power and wanted to kill Bai Youlong. No way! Hurry up and give me grandpa's money!" He was very excited about the promotion and almost let it slip in public, telling the amount of money he bribed Shi Tianyu.

Fang Shizhong laughed and said, "Mr. Shi, this time you really can't predict what will happen! Haha!"

He was so happy that he danced with joy and teased Shi Tianyu in class.

Hua Qianduo, Lü Ying, Dai Yuhuan, Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Tan Ruofeng, Liu Aner, Xiangxiang and other beautiful wives and concubines made a "clicking" sound with their fists and fingers.

~~
Shan Wushuang whispered to Qiu Feng: "Dai Kun is really vicious. Every time at a critical moment, he embarrasses Lord Shi." Having just been promoted by Shi Tianyu, and thinking that Shi Tianyu is indeed a good official who works for the people, his attitude changed and he leaned towards Shi Tianyu. Wang Chao thought: The kid surnamed Shi is really in big trouble this time. He might be taken to Kyoto by the three thousand imperial guards to await trial. Such a vicious person must be embarrassed and humiliated.

At this moment, he really hoped that something would happen to Shi Tianyu so that he could take over the position of prefect.

~~
In an instant, people in the government court had all kinds of thoughts.

Liu Lai Fu was grateful to Shi Tianyu for his support and helping him get married, and then he stepped forward and yelled at Bai Youlong: "Damn it, Bai Youlong, you are a criminal now!" He raised his foot and kicked Bai Youlong, causing him to spit blood and fall to the ground.

Shi Tianyu said nothing, and no one dared to help Bai Youlong.

An Ziwu exclaimed in a trembling voice: "Master Shi, Bai Youlong is an official appointed by the imperial court."

~~
Shi Tianyu tried to calm down and said in a calm tone: "Liu Laifu, untie Bai Youlong and ask An Ziwu to send Bai Youlong to his post. Su Xing, you copy the indictment of Bai Youlong for condoning his brother Bai Youyou's private gold mining and ask An Ziwu to bring it to the governor Lu. Wang Chao, Chen Biao, you must hurry up and try Bai Youyou. Pan Dong, you must lead the constables of the government office to maintain the law and order. If anyone dares to disrupt the court, you have the right to execute them on the spot. I am responsible for everything. Shan Wushuang, you must hurry up and withdraw the silver and set up the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion. All county officials, stand outside the government office and wait for the government office to give you bonuses."

"promise!"

Wang Chao, Chen Biao, Pan Dong and others bowed their heads in response to the order and immediately did as instructed.

Most of the public security personnel left the court.

An Ziwu, Xiang Laixiang and Tian Lufeng were very embarrassed.

~~
Shi Tianyu immediately stood up, left the desk, and said, "Dear people from the upper peak, it is cold in winter, please sit in the inner hall to keep warm."

Chen Biao drew his sword and shouted, "If you are not from the Fucheng government office, step back three feet."

He didn't take Tian Lufeng and others seriously at all.

Pan Dong pulled out his double hooks and stared at Tian Lufeng coldly.

Naturally, Tian Lufeng did not dare to act recklessly. He knew that in terms of martial arts, he could not beat Shi Tianyu, and in terms of official rank, he was far inferior to Shi Tianyu.

At this point, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and be "bullied" by Pan Dong.

~~
Shi Tianyu had no choice but to let Bai Youlong go, but will he let Bai Youhui go?
Knowing that Wang Chao would definitely not dare to try the case in front of An Ziwu, he instructed Chen Biao and Pan Dong.

He also knew in his heart that in order to continue to hide and hide better, Chen Biao and Pan Dong would definitely work harder and braver to please Mr. Shi.

~~
Sure enough, Chen Biao walked to the desk, picked up the gavel, slammed the desk and shouted, "Come here, the tiger bench and the tongs are waiting for the criminals!" He then took out the order sign and threw down another one, and the runners immediately brought out the torture instruments.

~~
Bai Youhui was so scared that he begged, "Brother, help me!"

His whole body was shaking as he turned to Bai Youlong for help.

Although Bai Youlong was untied, he was still covered in blood. How could he dare to step forward to save Bai Youyou? He said sadly: "Brother, you carry it. Big brother will definitely come back to save you. I will definitely seek justice from Lord Dai and Lord Lu. Brother, don't worry, you will be fine." He still had dreams and was thinking about how to bring down Shi Tianyu next.

An Ziwu said awkwardly, "Master Shi, please!" He bowed and invited Shi Tianyu to go into the inner hall. This scene in the court was really unbearable to watch, and he couldn't bear to watch it.

Today, the Governor's Mansion is in an embarrassing situation, and the Fucheng government office is also in an embarrassing situation.

An Ziwu was embarrassed, and Shi Tianyu was also embarrassed.

All the public servants were embarrassed.

~~
Walking into the inner hall, Shi Tianyu no longer had a stern face and said with a smile: "Sir An, come here, this is the recommendation letter for the appointment of relevant personnel drafted by Su Xing for me. Please report it to Sir Lu for his decision and report to the Ministry of Personnel. You see, I also recommend Jinyiwei experience Lu Chusheng to be the magistrate of Jiangchuan County, Wang Chao to be the co-magistrate of Fucheng Prefecture, and Liu Cong, the co-magistrate of the prefectural government and acting magistrate of Yantai County, to be promoted to Tongpan of Fucheng Prefecture." After that, he handed the list of candidates to An Ziwu.

~~
An Ziwu laughed up to the sky, and then said, "Haha! Lord Shi, it's a good idea. I agree with it."

He then put away the document and hid it in his pocket.

He secretly praised Shi Tianyu for his cleverness, as he was able to come up with the idea of ​​letting Lu Chusheng take the position of Jiangchuan County Magistrate.

Now that Lu Chusheng has been appointed as the county magistrate, could Lu Yuan not make any comments on this official document?

Since Lu Yuan added comments, could the Ministry of Personnel still reject Lu Yuan’s request?

Hey, every official document, whether it was from the former Bushi Mansion or the current Governor's Mansion, was calculated by this kid Shi Tianyu.

~~
Wang Chao really didn't dare to try the case, so he sneaked into the inner hall. But when he heard Shi Tianyu recommend him as the co-magistrate of the government office, he was overjoyed and bowed to thank him: "Thank you, Mr. Shi! Thank you! I will never forget your kindness in recommending me."

Liu Cong would naturally sneak in as well, but when he heard what Shi Tianyu said, he immediately laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't stop, and his eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

~~
Seeing that there were many people in the inner hall, An Ziwu said to Shi Tianyu, "Master Shi, I have something private to ask you for help. Please move to the backyard."

In this case, Xiang Laixiang, Tian Lufeng and others would not be able to follow Shi Tianyu and An Ziwu. After walking to the backyard, An Ziwu looked around and around, and found no one following him, so he whispered to Shi Tianyu: "Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, Hong Liansu and others stabbed Lord Lu in the back and wrote to Lord Yang Lian and others to severely criticize you and Lord Lu for wasting money and manpower in building the 9,000-year-old ancestral temple. It is said that Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing are also contacting people in the underworld to make trouble in Fucheng. Lord Shi, please be careful!"

Considering Shi Tianyu's future prospects with foresight, he whispered to Shi Tianyu to beware of a new round of storms of discussion in the court and the public, and to be on guard against someone coming to disrupt the Qiansui Temple. Although he would come up with some bad ideas when he was with Lu Yuan, Dai Kun, and Xiang Laixiang, but as the left councilor of the Busi Mansion for so long, he was naturally a smooth talker who could get along with everyone.

Think about it, Shi Tianyu is so young, it is normal for him to fall in the court at this time, but Shi Tianyu will always rise again.

Especially Shi Tianyu's military talent. Others could not think of this, but An Ziwu did.

Judging from the current situation, it is predicted that Shi Tianyu will one day command an army.

At that time, I dare not say whether Shi Tianyu will be the Grand Commander of the Five Military Commandery, but at least he will be a high-ranking official like the Minister of War and the Governor of Liaodong. Now, if you offend Shi Tianyu who has lost his power, then if Shi Tianyu gains power again in the future, it will be difficult to please him again.

This is where An Ziwu’s cleverness lies.

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Okay, I will remember Lord An's kindness. Don't worry, I won't fall."

He then treated the guest politely and saw An Ziwu off.

Seeing Shi Tianyu coming out, Bai Youlong said viciously: "Mr. Shi, just wait and see! Just wait and see!" Looking at his own brother Bai Youyi being beaten to pieces and bleeding by Chen Biao and others, he left in a hurry after saying this in anger.

And under the protection of Tian Lufeng, he quickly got on the carriage and left.

~~
Lu Baochuan thought to himself: Mr. Shi, prepare the silver and return it to me double as soon as possible, hum! But he didn't dare to say it out loud. He gave Shi Tianyu a bad look and hurriedly left the government office on his way.

Xiang Laixiang also said to Shi Tianyu: "Master Shi, there is no need to send me off. After the Spring Festival, prepare to go to the capital to meet the emperor!"

He uttered a few sarcastic words and followed An Ziwu away.

~~
Smoke from burning dead leaves rose in the streets, and the dead trees wagged their tails sadly in begging for mercy.

Hua Qianduo, Lu Ying, Dai Yuhuan, Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Tan Ruofeng, Liu An'er, Xiangxiang and other beautiful wives and concubines were really furious. They gritted their teeth and wanted to beat up Xiang Laixiang and other treacherous villains.

At this time, Master Xuwang, Xie Wen, and Qin Zhiguang had no choice but to stand up and stop the Shi Madams together with Helan Minyue and Zhang Hui. Otherwise, with Zhu Lili and Liu An'er's personalities, they would really beat Xiang Laixiang, Lu Baochuan and others.

~~
Ma Dehui walked up to Shi Tianyu and whispered, "Master Shi, Bai Youlong, Fang Shizhong, and Lu Baochuan have occupied the three most important tax offices in Fucheng. They will definitely cause trouble for you. We have to make some arrangements first."

He was very worried and looked sad.

~~
Zhu Xiang also approached and whispered, "Master Shi, Dai Kun and Xiang Laixiang have embarrassed you today. Do you think I should go back to Guxiang County first and continue to serve as the county magistrate of Guxiang for the time being?"

At this time, Shan Wushuang also came over and wanted to comfort Shi Tianyu.

~~
Shi Tianyu said, "Chief Steward Shan, An Ziwu just told me that people from the Jianghu will come to Fucheng to disrupt the Qiansui Temple. You should gather the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion and distribute the silver as soon as possible. You must work together and divide the work to do your best to defend the three Qiansui Temples.

You have been equipped with documents and records, and have sufficient money and food. You can eat and drink as you please, but you have to do your job if you are paid. You must protect the Qiansui Temple. I have given you 6,000 soldiers and horses!

You have dozens of times more people under my command than I do, so please don't let me down. Now, I will send County Magistrate Zhu to Yantai County to take up the post of county magistrate. Qiu Feng will be appointed as county magistrate of Anzi County, and Liu Cong will temporarily serve as county magistrate of Anzi County. Wang Chao will temporarily take charge of the daily affairs of the government office. "Liu Cong is the one who is most cared for. Wherever there is a vacancy for a county magistrate, Liu Cong will be allowed to take up the post for a while, so that Liu Cong can make some money. Anyway, Liu Cong is timid and dare not make a lot of money, so nothing will happen.

~~
"Yes!" Everyone responded to the order happily and left.

After Chen Biao finished reviewing the case, he walked to Shi Tianyu and asked in a low voice: "Master Shi, how did An Ziwu know the movements of people in the underworld?"

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "An Ziwu is a popular figure around Lu Yuan, so naturally there will be many people who will tell him some news. It is said that this time it was Ma Zhifu who sent Tian Lufeng to contact the people in the underworld. Not only did they contact the people in the underworld, they also wrote to the court behind Lu Yuan's back, accusing us of wasting money and manpower building the ancestral temple." This was both an answer to Chen Biao's question and a test of whether Chen Biao would go and tip off the public.

~~
Chen Biao said indignantly: "Although Lord Shi built the ancestral temple, it did not cost the people money! You also did a lot of practical things for the people and the country! Look how beautiful Fucheng is now!"

Shi Tianyu was not hypocritical and said frankly: "To be honest, building a shrine is indeed a waste of money and labor. The reason why I am not scolded by the people like Pan Ruzhen is because I have some political achievements to cover up the ugliness of building a shrine. Alas! Wei Zhongxian controls the six ministries. If I don't build a shrine, how can his godson, the Minister of Personnel Zhou Yingqiu, let the brothers serve as officials as they wish?"

~~
Song Ziqing took over the conversation and said angrily: "Master Shi is in such a difficult situation, he can choose not to build a shrine. Even if we brothers cannot become officials, it is worth it to guard your house!"

Helan Minyue came with his hands behind his back and said coldly, "If you brothers have no position or power, what can you do for Lord Shi to do the work for the people?"

Zhang Hui was very kind, and sighed, "Building a shrine for a eunuch will surely lead to criticism sooner or later."

~~
Shi Tianyu sighed and said, "There is no other way. I really don't want to fall into the underworld, so I can only squeeze into the officialdom. And if I want to continue to be an official, I must continue to build the ancestral temple. If you have achievements in doing practical things for the people, you may not necessarily be scolded in the future. Chen Biao, if you find beggars on the street, whether they are members of the Beggars' Gang or not, you should jail them first to avoid trouble."

After sighing, he analyzed the situation in front of his confidants and issued strict orders.

"Yes!" Although Chen Biao could not understand Shi Tianyu's profound knowledge of officialdom, thinking about Shi Tianyu's great kindness to him, he nodded firmly.

~~
At this time, Yao Chaohai came over apprehensively, bowed and said to Shi Tianyu: "Sir, since the situation in the government office is serious, I will not go to Guxiang County to take up the post?" This dandy boy, whose martial arts skills were not high, was very afraid of the current serious situation and was afraid that he would lose his life in Guxiang County.

"Ha ha!"

Everyone knew what Yao Chaohai was thinking and burst into laughter.

Yao Chaohai blushed immediately and quickly raised his hands to cover his face, ashamed to see people.

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Master Yao, don't worry, I'll let Ma Dehui accompany you. Besides, isn't there the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion? That's two thousand soldiers, what are you afraid of? Also, I'll let Master Xuwang and Qin Guangtou accompany you to guard the Guxiang County Office to ensure your personal safety."

Yao Chaohai was immediately very excited and said in a trembling voice: "Yes!"

Master Xuwang, Master Fengye, Qin Zhiguang, and Ma Dehui escorted Song Ziqing and Yao Chaohai to Guxiang County to take up their posts with a smile.

~~
Shan Wushuang assigned the father and son of the Lu family to lead two thousand soldiers and horses, stationed near the Qiansui Temple in Guxiang County, and gave the father and son of the Lu family and the two thousand soldiers and horses 100,000 taels of silver.

Hua Qiuxing and Hua Dongfeng were assigned to lead two thousand soldiers and stationed near the Qiansui Temple in Anzi County. Hua Qiuxing and Hua Dongfeng were also given 100,000 taels of silver for their two thousand soldiers.

The brothers Dai Yuguang and Dai Yutian were assigned to lead two thousand soldiers and stationed near the Qiansui Temple in Fucheng. The Dai brothers and their two thousand soldiers were given 100,000 taels of silver.

~~
Shi Tianyu took this opportunity to send Hua Qianduo, Lu Ying, Dai Yuhuan, Wang Jing, Zhu Lili, Tan Ruofeng, Liu Aner, Xiangxiang and other beautiful wives and concubines into the system space.

Then, he ordered Chen Biao to take 100,000 taels of silver and, together with Pan Dong, escort Liu Cong and Qiu Feng to Anzi County to take up their posts.

~~
Then, Shi Tianyu ordered Zhu Xiang to pick up one million taels of silver. He, Helan Minyue and Zhang Hui would escort Zhu Xiang and the one million taels of silver to Yantai County to take up his post. He ordered Zhu Xiang to immediately comfort the poor people so that they could have a good New Year, and to build a main road from Yantai County to Fucheng. All the water-related roads in Yantai County should be built with large stone arch bridges that would not be washed away even by floods. These two tasks should be completed in the new year, and the construction of roads and bridges would be entirely handed over to Zhuoyue.

~~
That night, Zhuo Yue ran to the "Yuntong" Inn in Yantai County, found Shi Tianyu, and gave him a hundred gold bricks to thank him for his support and care.

Although he was in the spotlight, Shi Tianyu still accepted it with a smile.

After Zhuo Yue left, Shi Tianyu raised the middle finger of his left hand and threw the 100 gold bricks into the big treasury in the big garden of the system space. His current life goal is to have 300 sons so that he will have thousands of descendants to raise in the future.

Early the next morning, Shi Tianyu, Zhuo Yue, Zhu Xiang, Helan Minyue and Zhang Hui went to the villages in Yantai County and personally selected several bridges to be built across the rivers.

The dusk gradually darkened, cold stars rose into the sky, and the earth was shaking with the cold wind.

Shi Tianyu sent Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue into the system space, then he performed the "Immortal Steps" alone and returned to the Qiansui Temple in Fucheng. He inspected it carefully and found that the Dai brothers had divided the work with the help of He Sihai and organized a patrol team of a thousand people. Only then did he return to the system space with peace of mind, and enjoyed the warmth with the sisters Dai Yuji and Dai Yuxiang, continuing their happy marriage.
