Chapter 7: Inviting an immortal requires sincerity
I heard Tian Guofu, the mayor of Qingping Town, coming.

Zhang Qingyun was obviously a little surprised. Could it be that after he had been in Qingshan County for so long, someone was finally willing to join him?

As soon as he thought about this, Zhang Qingyun said: "Please come in, Mayor Tian."

Tian Guofu came in quickly and bowed to Zhang Qingyun politely: "Young man Tian Guofu has met the county magistrate."

"Mayor Tian, ​​please get up quickly. I wonder if Mayor Tian has anything to report to the county?" Zhang Qingyun said with a smile.

Tian Guofu said quickly: "Does the county magistrate know that there is an evil tiger that has become a spirit in Qingping Mountain and is causing trouble and hurting people's lives?"

Zhang Qingyun nodded: "This county is aware of this matter. It is said that the previous two county magistrates invited many monks, but they failed to make any achievements, so that the tiger demon is still doing evil in the mountains."

As he said this, Zhang Qingyun frowned. Did Tian Guofu want him to find the monks to get rid of the tiger monster in the mountain?

If things were really that simple, how could the tiger demon have been rampant in the mountains for so many years?

Tian Guofu seemed to see what Zhang Qingyun was thinking, and said quickly: "The county magistrate doesn't know something. A few days ago, a Taoist priest came to Qingping Town. He is very skilled and has already eliminated the tiger monster!"

"Um?!"

Zhang Qingyun was shocked.

He really didn't expect that the tiger monster that had been ravaging Qingping Mountain for so many years, eating countless people and killing countless monks, would be eliminated by a Taoist priest who suddenly appeared!
But the next moment, Zhang Qingyun had an idea: Since the Taoist priest is so powerful, why not invite him to help him?
He is a branch of the family, and he is lucky to be able to come to Qingshan County to serve as the county magistrate.

This time, I came to Qingshan County alone with my daughter to take up my post. I had no available manpower, otherwise I wouldn't be easily manipulated by the gentry here.

Once he can get help from monks, the situation will definitely be different!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingyun immediately said: "That Taoist priest can get rid of the tiger demon, which also eliminates a big problem for our Qingshan County!"

"Mayor Tian, ​​please bring back a thousand taels of silver in a moment to reward the Taoist priest for the county. By the way, please invite the Taoist priest to come to the county seat. The county wants to meet the Taoist priest who can kill the tiger monster."

This was what Tian Guofu was waiting for, and he quickly said: "I will obey the order of the county magistrate."

Soon, Tian Guofu hurried back to Qingping Town with a thousand taels of silver.

Then he quickly organized people to wrap the silver and some fruits in red silk and send them to Qingping Mountain with gongs and drums.

Such lively movement naturally alarmed Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng had a quiet temperament. Seeing a large group of people coming up beating gongs and drums, he couldn't help but frown.

Soon, Tian Guofu led a large group of people to the Taoist temple.

I saw Tian Guofu with a smile on his face: "Director Jiang, what a happy event!"

"Where does happiness come from?" Jiang Sheng's expression remained indifferent.

Tian Guofu said with a red face: "Director Jiang, I have informed the county magistrate that you have eliminated the tiger demon for our Qingping Town."

"My lord, the county magistrate, was very happy to hear that a Taoist priest like you has come to Qingshan County."

"No, the county magistrate ordered us to send you a thousand taels of silver as a reward."

As he said this, Tian Guofu was quite excited: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, would like to invite the Taoist priest to go to the county government office and say that he wants to see you in person!"

"Ah!"

There was a sneer, but there was no smile in Jiang Sheng's eyes.

Tian Guofu looked at Jiang Sheng's expression and suddenly felt a thump in his heart. He felt that he had done something wrong.

And those young men who were playing gongs and drums felt a chill for no reason, and all of them couldn't help but stop their piercing joy.

I saw Jiang Sheng's eyes scanning the people present indifferently, making each of these people tremble.

"Thousand taels of silver?"

"As a reward?"

"What do you think of Pindao?" Jiang Sheng's attitude undoubtedly frightened Tian Guofu and these people.

Tian Guofu said quickly: "Director Jiang, we really have good intentions!"

"And the county magistrate brought this up on his own initiative. He wants to give you a thousand taels of silver, and also wants to invite you to visit the county seat."

Jiang Sheng looked at Tian Guofu with a half-smile, his eyes made Tian Guofu feel frightened and he couldn't help but lower his head.

As Jiang Sheng's eyes swept across, the wealthy merchants and gentry of Qingping Town present all lowered their heads like quails and did not dare to raise their heads.

The old scholar who showed off his time in a cool manner a few days ago was trembling with fear and almost collapsed on the ground.

"Pindao has already told you that he doesn't care about your thank you gifts, so don't bother with it anymore!"

"Is it because you guys don't understand what Pindao said, or do you think Pindao is soft-hearted and easy to bully?"

As Jiang Sheng said this, he waved his sleeves, and a strong wind swept over, blowing away everyone present, including the silver fruits, gongs, drums, and red flowers.

Tian Guofu only felt a gust of wind blowing him to pieces. When his vision returned to clarity, he had been blown to the foot of the mountain!

The wealthy gentry and young men in Qingping Town looked at me and I looked at you. They were all covered in cold sweat, and no one dared to say anything.

However, Tian Guofu had a bitter look on his face, looked at the mountainside in embarrassment and shouted: "Taoist Master, it is really the county minister who asked me to invite you."

Jiang Sheng's cold voice came from the mountain: "County Lord?"

"As a reward for a mere thousand taels of silver, you still want Pindao to go to the county town to meet him?"

"What a joke!"

"If the magistrate of your county really wants to see Pindao, then let him come to Qingping Mountain!"

"You should disperse immediately. If you come again to disturb the poor Taoist Qingxiu, don't blame me for being rude!"

After hearing Jiang Sheng's words, everyone quickly ran back to Qingping Town.

At this time, everyone was disgraced and embarrassed.

The rich gentry looked at Tian Guofu in embarrassment, and Tian Guofu could only sigh: "Well, then I will go back and talk to the county magistrate again."

When Tian Guofu hurried back to Qingshan County and told the county leader Zhang Qingyun the reason for the incident, Zhang Qingyun's expression immediately changed.

"I, the dignitary of the county, sent someone to invite him a mountain Taoist priest, but he still can't do it? Do I have to invite the county myself?!"

"He is just a mountain Taoist, but he is even more arrogant than these gentry in the county!"

Tian Guofu stood aside and didn't dare to speak. Zhang Qingyun was so angry that he waved his hand to get out, and then went back to the backyard to rest.

Back at the backyard of the county government office, Zhang Qingyun was so angry that he smashed a tea cup, scaring the servants in the backyard to tremble, fearing that the sulky county magistrate would spill fire on their servants' heads.

Zhang Qingyun couldn't understand.

Why can't he, as the county magistrate of Qingshan County, invite a Taoist priest from Qi State?

Is it possible that he is now a well-known puppet, a clay sculpture that can only be seen in the county government?

What's the point of being in front of such a county magistrate?
"Why is father so angry? Is there anything you can tell your daughter about?"

A clear and moving voice like an oriole sounded in Zhang Qingyun's ears. Zhang Qingyun turned around and saw that it was his smart and pretty daughter Zhang Qing.

Seeing that the apple of his eye had arrived, Zhang Qingyun's face softened slightly: "Isn't Qing'er going to listen to a book? How come you have time to find your father?"

　Please read it, collect it, and recommend it. Linyuan wants to write a story with a fairy tale feel, and the first story in this book has just been slowly unfolded, so please read it slowly. Finally, I beg you gentlemen to turn the last page, it is very important to Linyuan, thank you gentlemen.
