Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 136 Official Position
The old man in Confucian clothing is Huang Zun, the county magistrate of Huai'an City.He was born in a partial branch of the Huang family in Jingzhou, and his family was not outstanding. His mental strength was almost the same as that of Gao Cheng before his breakthrough, and he was on the fourth level of soul cultivation.

This kind of county magistrate who does not have a strong family and does not have too much power himself is destined to become a puppet of a family in the city. The man in brocade clothes beside him is Sun Xi, the patriarch of the Sun family in Huai'an.

If his aura is fully released, Huang Zun will definitely be suppressed speechless.Beside him, there were two people, one old and one young, who were the middle-aged master Sun Yue who was secretly observing Gao Cheng in the restaurant just now and the heir of the Sun family.

"Zi Ming doesn't need to be too polite!" Huang Zun quickly reached out his hand to stop Gao Cheng from saluting. He already knew what happened here, and couldn't help but feel extremely afraid of Gao Cheng's powerful strength.

Unexpectedly, after going to a Mei family, another more powerful and domineering Gao family came!Seeing that Gao Cheng's behavior is very different from before going to Yingchuan, he is ruthless and shows no mercy to his enemies. This kind of person is many times more powerful than Meicheng.

The more apprehensive he was, the gentler he looked on his face, showing admiration in his eyes, and said: "Ziming, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Back then, your father was shrewd and capable, and he was my right-hand man. I didn't expect that the green is better than the blue." Lan, your ability now surpasses that of your father, and your future is boundless!"

Gao Cheng was still planning to continue to improve his own strength. He was not interested in going around in circles with the other party, so he said directly: "Thank you for the compliment, but compared with my late father, I am still far behind! The county lord and Sun Shibo came to look for me. What order?"

Sun Xi, who was standing by the side, took a step forward and said, "Since my nephew asked, I'll say it directly. The Mei family occupied the good land of the Gao family first, and we don't have any objections to the good nephew who killed the Mei family. In order to become the county lieutenant of Huai'an City, Chengcheng is organizing county soldiers to exterminate the bandits in Baima Lake."

"Now that he has been killed by his nephew, it would be a pity to give up the preliminary preparations. The bandits in Baima Lake will be wiped out sooner or later, so the county lord and I would like to discuss with you. Please temporarily serve as the county lieutenant. The soldiers and horses in the city will deal with the water thieves in Baima Lake. As long as the nephew can make a contribution, maybe he can take this opportunity to join the imperial court and become a real county lieutenant!"

Huang Zun and Sun Xi's plan was not to ask crimes and make things difficult, but to give Gao Cheng huge benefits. The county captain was a full-time official in the Han court, with a rank and salary of four hundred shi. Luoyang Shangshutai's edict can only be appointed. The so-called interim county lieutenant is only nice in name, but is not actually recognized by the court.

But if Gao Cheng leads his family soldiers to deal with the bandits in Baima Lake, it will be a military achievement!Now that the world is gradually chaotic, many heroes and heroes became official through military exploits at this time.If Huang Zun and Sun Xi jointly reported to Guangling, they would recommend Gao Cheng, a meritorious minister, to serve as the county captain and guard Sangzi.Under normal circumstances, the prefect of Guangling would not refuse.

Gao Cheng pondered for a while, but did not answer immediately.

Seeing this, Sun Xi said: "Since my nephew can kill warriors who have trained at the ninth level, I think the bandits in White Horse Lake will not be your opponents. Of course, for the sake of fairness, our Sun family will also send elite soldiers. Send out experts to help Nephew!"

Gao Cheng glanced at the middle-aged man behind him. This middle-aged man with slightly white temples was Sun's hole card, and he was also a nine-level warrior.With his help, it is not impossible to go to White Horse Lake.

Moreover, if he can become the county lieutenant of Huai'an City, it will be of great benefit to the Gao family in the future!Gao Cheng thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the county lord and Sun Shibo, I will leave this matter to me!"

Seeing Gao Cheng's demeanor and behavior, it was obvious that they already knew their good intentions, so Huang Zun and Sun Xi heaved a sigh of relief at the same time in their hearts. They were most afraid that the other party would be a stunned young man who couldn't understand even good intentions and malicious intentions.

After talking about this, the atmosphere became a little more lively, and Sun Yue on the side also took the opportunity to come over and talk to Gao Cheng.Sun Yue and Mei Lin have similar identities and are the direct heirs of the Sun family.As far as Gao Cheng knows, he used to be arrogant, and looked down on children from poor families and ordinary people.

But when others show a certain ability, Sun Cheng can also lower his face and take the initiative to win over.Gao Cheng's original body was just a nerd who was incapable of writing and martial arts, so naturally he didn't have much intersection with his direct lineage.

After some conversations, the county magistrate Huang Zun had some understanding of Gao Cheng's character. The other party should have the kind of personality that if you don't offend me, I won't offend others, and if you offend me, I will kill the grass.

For Huang Zun, his power in Huai'an City was relatively weak, and the other party showed such terrifying strength, he would naturally not provoke the other party if he had nothing to do.Sun Xi also thought this way.

For the children of the aristocratic family, if they encounter a strong man who cannot resist, they should find a way to make this strong man their own.Unless it is a deep hatred that cannot be wiped away, there are very few life-and-death struggles among the major families.Gao Cheng's killing of the Mei family this time is reasonable, but it will definitely leave a bad impression on Guangling or Xiapi's family.

For the children of these aristocratic families, Gao Cheng has such great strength, as long as he returns to Huai'an City and shows it, the Mei family will definitely return all the land with interest, and maybe there will be compensation, everything can be redeemed.There is no need to be so violent.

After a while, Huang Zun and Sun Xi had achieved their goal this time, so they took the initiative to leave.

Gao Tai who was next to him remained silent when everyone was talking, and only after everyone left, he said: "My lord, the waters of Baima Lake are vast, we can't deal with these water thieves without boats! And the three hundred families we brought back The soldiers come from the Central Plains, and they are not familiar with water. They can't resist the strong water bandits!"

Pei Yuanshao's face changed slightly when he heard the boat battle in the water. The water battle is completely different from the land battle and cavalry battle. If he accidentally falls into the water, it will be very troublesome if the water is not clear.

Gao Cheng said nonchalantly: "There is no need to send out soldiers. Since the county magistrate has asked me to temporarily serve as the county captain, then I have the right to recruit county soldiers and civilians. Huai'an is close to Hongze Lake, and not far to the south is the Yangtze River. The water network is criss-crossing. .As long as you have enough supplies, you can temporarily summon a group of soldiers who are proficient in water!"

"This time we got all of Mei's family property, which is not a small amount of wealth. With enough money to support it, it is very easy to train sailors and build boats. As for the post of county lieutenant, it is more important to us. If you get the chance, go for it!"

What Gao Cheng said is indeed easy to do, but Gao Tai still frowned, and said: "Young master is right, but who do you want to train sailors? Zhang Chen, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, I have no idea. Water battle!"

Gao Cheng pondered for a while, and said: "First train according to the military training method in the military book. The water thief leader in Baima Lake is not an extraordinary powerhouse in the realm of refinement. As long as the trained water pawns can sail normally, take me to the water thief's place." The lair is enough, and when I meet water thieves, I will personally kill the leader of the opponent, and I will definitely win with one blow!"
