Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 339 Zhang Jingshou: Why do people always stare at me?

"The people of Yinyue County are simple and honest, and the government is well-organized and harmonious. Mr. Shen is indispensable."

Ji Ren and Qiao Qingyu were doing business aside. In the private room, Zhang Cheng also attended the banquet hosted by County Magistrate Yinyue.

At the banquet, Zhang Cheng had a gentle look on his face, looking at Magistrate Yin Yue and praising him.

Among the many county magistrates in Jiangnan, the Yinyue County Magistrate is a relatively special official position.

Generally speaking, the magistrate of Daqi is the seventh rank, but the magistrate of Yinyue is the fifth rank.

Because the Moon Worship Palace is in Yinyue County.

His official position is too low, so he really can't be tough in front of the Moon Worshiping Palace.

Similarly, most of the Yinyue county magistrates were both civil and military, and they were promoted quickly.

It's a position you can't get into.

"I don't dare to take it. I'm ashamed to say it. Since I took office, I haven't made any achievements. It's just a matter of practice, Xiao Gui and Cao Cao." The county magistrate of Yinyue said humbly.

"Master Shen, why should you be so modest? Along the way, I have heard Master Shen's official voice." Zhang Cheng smiled gently.

The county magistrate of Yinyue hurriedly apologized, exchanged glasses of wine, and kept flattering.

Zhang Jingshou, who was standing aside pretending to be a guard, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this. He finally got off the boat, thinking that he would encounter something interesting, but it turned out that the officialdom was really annoying.

After three drinks, the banquet was over.

Zhang Jingshou breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted amnesty, and quickly followed Zhang Cheng away.

"I told you to play alone for a while, but you didn't listen and followed me anyway. You must be sorry." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"How did I know he was so boring? But uncle, if you praise this guy so much, is he a good official?" Zhang Jingshou asked.

"If you are a good official or not, you can't tell at the banquet. It's just from the banquet that you can tell he is an official." Zhang Cheng said with profound meaning.

"Who knows how to be an official? Is that an honest official or a corrupt official?" Zhang Jingshou looked confused.

"It may be an honest official, or it may be a corrupt official." Zhang Cheng said.

"That doesn't mean you said nothing." Zhang Jingshou complained.

"Okay, let's find a place for you to eat first." Zhang Cheng said with a smile. How can one judge the purity of an official so easily?

However, in previous years, the evaluation of the Yinyue County Magistrate was that he was a gentleman. But when we meet him today, he is clearly an old man in the officialdom. How can he be a gentleman?
The fruits of Jiangnan are not shallow.

At the same time, after sending Zhang Cheng away, the smile on Magistrate Yinyue's face quickly disappeared, and he ordered the people on the side: "Send a message to Jiangxia, King Ming is coming, be prepared."

Although he had only seen Zhang Jingshou's portrait, and Zhang Jingshou even disguised himself, he could not hide it from him.

The escort of the Minister of Staff would not be so lax, and the Minister of Staff would not act like he didn't see it.

It can only be that he has a higher status than Zhang Cheng.

King Ming.

"Yes." The guard beside him quickly went down.

Magistrate Yin Yue sat there, playing with the wine glass, with a thoughtful look on his face.

King Ming's nonsense is not worth mentioning. The real problem is Ji Ren.

After entering Jiangnan, there was no one accompanying me. Could it be possible to investigate me secretly?
But it doesn’t make sense, I don’t have any flaws.

More importantly, the accompanying Beishan Guards were not simple. Although they did not show it, each one of them was like a dormant volcano. Once it erupted, the power would be unimaginable.

No wonder he can gallop through Xiliang, even the Xiliang cavalry is hard to match.

Except for Xie Jiabeifu soldiers, no one in Jiangnan can compare.

At present, none of them are familiar with boats. If they can seize this time and do something on the river, no matter how extraordinary they are, they can all become water ghosts.

Cao Cao's millions of troops perished in the water, let alone Ji Ren?

Whether they are elite or not, it is the same if they are separated or put into the water.

But it is easy to kill but difficult to deal with. If he kills Prince Ming now, the consequences will be too great.

Emperor Qi was afraid that he was really going to break the pot.

Zhang Jingshou will die sooner or later, but he must first find a scapegoat.

If you calculate the time, it's almost time. The Zhou family is going to marry the Wang family in Kuaiji, and the Zhu family in Kuaiji should have arrived by now, so they can just pass the blame.

It's really ridiculous. Do you really think we don't know that you are the queen of Zhu Jun, one of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty?
I keep you for today.

I really miss the Han Dynasty. If I go to the Han Dynasty, I have to support a so-called young emperor in Daqi. What kind of orthodoxy can I restore?
Magistrate Yin Yue was disdainful, but after thinking for a while, he finally gave up his original plan.

That’s all, let’s spare them for now.

Even if they are adapted to water warfare, there are only 1,200 people.

Is it possible that here in Jiangnan, things can really change?
Magistrate Yin Yue shook his head slightly and stopped thinking.

……

At the same time, on the waterway that Ji Ren must pass through to Jiangxia, a group of people dressed as water pirates gathered together.

"Master, there is news from Jingzhou that the Minister of Civil Affairs and his companions have arrived." A thin man said to a middle-aged man.

"Finally we are here, let everyone get ready. The Northerners are not good at boating, so they have to rest for a day. They are expected to arrive tomorrow night. Then everyone will use their methods and use their skills to let these Northerners know that we are powerful. "A tall, calm and powerful middle-aged man among the crowd cheered up after hearing this.

"Does the head of the family really want to take action now? Not to mention the Minister of Civil Affairs, even if an ordinary imperial envoy is killed, the court will be furious. Under such a purge, we are afraid that we will be exposed." Among the crowd, a scholar-looking person frowned.

He felt something was wrong with this matter.

"This is Jingzhou. If he died in Jingzhou, what does it have to do with us Yangzhou people? And if he had not died in Jingzhou and arrived in Yangzhou, we would really be able to live in peace, and they would allow us to live in peace? Let Mr. Xie bear the danger." The middle-aged man said.

"But our power in Jingzhou will also be damaged." The scholar frowned.

"We are not very powerful in Jingzhou, so if we suffer damage, we will suffer damage. The key is to bring down the Sima family first. Once officials like Daqi find them, they will naturally not check us. After this disaster, Jiangnan will be your majesty. Jiangnan. When the time comes, we will unite with the Han Dynasty and cooperate with each other internally and externally. If we advance, we can destroy Qi, and if we retreat, we can rule across the river." The middle-aged man said confidently.

The scholar still frowned, feeling that this plan was still too risky.

But he is only a counselor and cannot make decisions.

Moreover, wealth can be found in danger, and great changes in Jiangnan are imminent, so we can only take a chance.

The minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the younger brother of his favorite concubine.

Such a person died in Jingzhou and left some clues, which should be able to confuse people.

After all, when it comes to murderous intentions, the one they most want to kill must be the Sima family, not them.

Thinking of this, the scribe secretly cast a spell, preparing to create a heavy fog.

……

"Ah."

Zhang Jingshou suddenly sneezed and accidentally sprayed rice
Opposite him, Tian Zhi, who had been sprayed, immediately looked at him with murderous eyes.

"Sorry, it was an accident. I'll pay for your clothes." Zhang Jingshou said with an embarrassed look.

Tian Zhi gave him a disgusted look, and finally decided not to argue with him for the time being, and wait until there was no one left to fight again.

Zhou Kuan, who was eating on the side, saw this and said with a smile: "I guess someone misses His Highness."

"Who can miss me? I'm afraid they are scolding me behind my back." Zhang Jingshou said clearly about his self-awareness.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian, of course I miss you all, not to mention Mr. Lu," Zhou Kuan said.

"Yes, Master Lu is here too. Speaking of which, where is he?" Zhang Jingshou asked.

"If you come from the Great Wall of Demonic Qi, calculate the time and you should meet us in Jiangxia. If you hurry, you will arrive early." Zhou Kuan said.

"We're finally going to meet you." After hearing this, Zhang Jingshou's face was full of excitement, and he finally had something happy.

Just in time to ask for tips on water fighting.
