The years when I explored the fairyland

The next day,

In the morning,

Everything in the government office was running as usual. County Magistrate Zhao Yuanwai and Chief Clerk Gu Xianming were in charge, handling various complicated affairs and dispatching personnel.

County Lieutenant Wang Fugui led a group of dirty tricks masters, divided into several teams, and patrolled the city continuously.

They had different routes, but they had a unique method of communication. Whenever there was a problem, they could rush to the scene as soon as possible.

It can be said that this crisis made the Baisha City government office, which was originally scattered, become a rare rope, and the four supervisors were unprecedentedly united!

It’s a pity that in the current situation, even if they are united, they can’t solve the fundamental problem.

And today, on the surface, it’s no different from ordinary days, but if someone looks closely, they will find that there are carriages coming in and out.

Some went around the city and went back; some bought food and utensils before going back; and some did not go back after coming out.

This is an extremely ordinary carriage, without any luxurious decoration or exquisite embellishment. If you look closely, it is even a bit old.

The driver is just an ordinary person, wearing shabby clothes and straw sandals. The only thing worth praising is his driving skills. The carriage is stable and fast.

This carriage started from the government office, went along the street, and after leaving the city gate, it went along the official road to the outside of Xuanzhen Temple.

But it did not stop, but continued to move forward from the forest path on the side until there was no way to go.

Then, the county lord in a set of casual clothes got off the carriage.

Under the guidance of the driver, he continued to move forward along the mountain road. After walking for half an hour, he finally saw the thatched house at the foot of Songfeng Mountain and the huge martial arts field.

On the martial arts field, there were still a few people practicing martial arts. The huge movements made by their hands and feet made the county lord more and more confident.

Of course, the arrival of an outsider could not be hidden from everyone's five senses. After a while, Chu Zhou came to meet him directly.

On the mountain road, Chu Zhou looked around and saw that there were no outsiders. He was surprised and said: "The county lord is so brave that he actually brought an ordinary person with him?"

At this time, the county lord naturally lost his former aloofness and seemed very easy-going. He smiled and said: "If someone really comes to kill me, what's the use of bringing the martial arts master with me?"

"The county lord is open-minded!" Chu Zhou smiled, turned sideways, and said: "Please come in!"

"Please!"

The two sides just exchanged a few greetings and entered the thatched cottage yard. They did not go in, but sat down under the big willow tree.

Two benches, a round table, and a few plates of fruits, and tea were served.

Xu Cheng and the other four left very tactfully, took the driver back to the martial arts field, and practiced on their own.

Only Chu Zhou and the county lord were left to drink together.

Silence spread in the air. Both sides seemed to be at a loss for words. In the end, the county master was the first to break the silence.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life last time!"

Chu Zhou accepted the salute, but did not stand up. He just raised his head slightly and said, "Are you so sure that I saved you, Lord County Master?"

The county master said, "Before coming, I was only 70% sure. I always felt that there might be a master behind the master.

After all, you are still too young.

But after coming, I am sure that the master must be that master!"

Chu Zhou was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Mana!"

The county master's eyes were very bright. He looked directly at Chu Zhou and did not give in at all: "I have met many people and know what is the real indifference. Calm and composed.

In the current Baisha City, whether it is me or those martial artists, we are actually panicking, fearing that our families will be destroyed and our lives will be ruined under the change.

Only the master of the temple did not see that kind of panic, or even fear of the coming crisis, but instead exuded strong self-confidence. "

"It seems that no matter how big the crisis is, you can deal with it calmly and fearlessly."

Chu Zhou laughed dumbly: "Do I have such a temperament? I don't even know it myself!"

Seeing that the county lord was about to speak again, he waved his hand and said: "Sit down first, let's sit down and talk, I also want to hear what you came to see me today. ? "

"Of course I'm here to ask the master to come down the mountain and guard Baisha City."

The county magistrate sat down again, his tone somewhat helpless and anxious: "I don't need to say more about the situation in Baisha City. If there is no real master to suppress it, it will collapse overnight."

Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly, not at all surprised, just said: "Do you think I am willing to wade into this muddy water?"

"Of course I dare not let the master work in vain. If you have any request, please speak frankly. As long as I can do it, I will not hesitate.

Even if I can't do it, I will try my best. "

The county magistrate obviously had an idea in his mind, and immediately said: "The government office There is not much silver, but I can send the part I got from the Xue family last time to the master.

If it is not enough, I will go to the rich families in the city to ask for it one by one. "

"There are still many copies of secret books in the treasury. Although they are all common goods issued by the court, I can make a copy of them all to enrich the foundation of Xuanzhen Temple.

If the master has any more needs, I can take the lead in copying the books from the county lieutenant and the chief clerk. For other martial arts halls or family martial arts, I need to negotiate one by one. "

"In this way, I can have someone make a statistics, and the master can take a look. If there is any interest, I will negotiate one by one and exchange them. "

"Of course, the most important thing for martial arts practice is various kinds of great medicines and precious materials. The government office still has some shares of these. If the master needs them, they can all be granted to you."

At this point, the county magistrate looked at the mountain road and the vaguely visible Xuanzhen Temple, and then said: "And this Xuanzhen Temple is really too small. If the master is willing, I can use corvée to build a Taoist temple for the master.

What do you think about including Songfeng Mountain directly?"

Chu Zhou was stunned, really stunned, not because the conditions given by the other party were too bad, but because they were too good, almost like self-destruction.

So much so that Chu Zhou didn't dare to take the benefits.

Seeing that Chu Zhou didn't respond, the county lord seemed to feel that what he gave was not enough. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master, if you are willing to help, I promise you a top-grade martial arts. This..."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Chu Zhou hurriedly stopped. He took a sip of the teacup and sorted out his thoughts. When he put it down, he had calmed down.

Looking at the eager eyes of the county lord, he said, "To be honest, the county lord has given too many benefits. I am a little scared, but this is not a reason for me to take action.

I have two questions here. Please answer them seriously?"

"Master, please tell me?"

"It is said that officials are afraid of death, so I really want to know, when the county lord stood in front of those warriors a few days ago, was it for the people of the city?

Or was it purely because he was afraid of losing his official position?"

The county lord was stunned. He really didn't expect that the person in front of him was concerned about this, but it was really difficult for him to answer this question.

Public interest, private interest...

Who can tell the difference? How can it be explained?

After a long pause, he finally looked up at Chu Zhou and said, "If I say that I didn't really consider power at the time, I just wanted to save lives, would you believe me?"

Chu Zhou looked him straight in the eyes and didn't say anything.

The county lord paused and said, "If you don't believe me, just think that I did it for..."

Chu Zhou suddenly said, "I believe it!"

"Do you really believe it?"

"If you say it, I will believe it."

Chu Zhou said, "The second question is, it has been half a month, why is there no movement from the court?

Even if the county officials are unable to suppress it, what about Chishui Prefecture? They will not do nothing, right?

Or, didn't you report it?"

"Of course I reported it! As soon as the incident happened, I reported it through the post station!"

The county lord said this, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he couldn't speak.

Chu Zhou raised his eyes and asked, "Is it inconvenient to say?"

The county lord gritted his teeth and said, "Master, do you know my last name?"

"Surname?"

Chu Zhou was a little stunned and tilted his head. Then he remembered that he really didn't know it, and it seemed that no one had mentioned it.

Usually, he just called him "Sir". Who dared to call him by his name?

After a pause, he asked directly: "Does this have anything to do with your surname?"

"My surname is Ji, the surname of Dayun, and my name is Ji Mingqian."

"Ji Mingqian? The surname of Dayun?"

Chu Zhou murmured, and then reacted: "Wait, you are a royal family? A royal family of a small county magistrate? Isn't this nonsense?"

The county magistrate smiled bitterly and said: "The 25th son of King Zhou, my mother is actually a singer from a foreign country. Although I have this identity, I am really a nobody in the King Zhou's mansion. I can only survive by starving.

This position of county magistrate was only possible after I studied hard for ten years and passed the imperial examination."

"Since you are the illegitimate son of King Zhou, you shouldn't have fallen to such a state, right? No one should dare to ignore the things reported by Baisha County, right?"

"On the contrary, my eldest brother hates me very much. I guess my secret report this time Then he suppressed it. "At this point, the county magistrate sighed again: "Perhaps it is because of this that I always want to reduce the number of deaths in Baisha City." Chu Zhou nodded and said: "In this case, I agree to what the county magistrate said." The county magistrate was stunned: "You agree now?" "Isn't it good to agree?" "Okay, okay! The silver, money, secret book and precious medicine..." "Give them as you see fit, and there is no need to exhaust all the resources." After a pause, Chu Zhou said again: "I just hope that in the future, if there is a day when it is really difficult to make a decision, I hope that the county magistrate will think more about my question today and your answer today." "Yes, yes, okay!" After everything was settled, the county magistrate did not keep the meal, and said goodbye and left directly. His chubby body walked on the mountain road, which was a bit funny, but just looking at his back, you can see that he was brisk. Chu Zhou was a little absent-minded, and all he could think about was this conversation, and he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong? Until the figure of the county lord completely disappeared from the sight, Xu Cheng and the other four had already arrived beside Chu Zhou without knowing when.

Yi Huai was the most anxious and asked: "Big Brother, how did the talk go?"

Chu Zhou did not answer, but moved his eyes, and after a circle of the four people, he said: "You have been practicing martial arts for so long, but you haven't had a good fight. Are you itching all over?"

"Yes! Yes!"

"Then this time, I will take you to see the heroes of this world!"

At this moment, Chu Zhou finally made up his mind. The mission mode of the "Xianyu" game is really not suitable for taking the road of hiding.

In this case, the style of doing things should also change.

...

Afternoon,

Baisha City, government office.

When the carriage entered the government office and County Master Ji Mingqian got off the carriage, County Magistrate Zhao Yuanwai, County Lieutenant Wang Fugui, and Chief Clerk Gu Jianming were already standing in front of him.

Without any nonsense, Wang Fugui asked directly: "Agree?"

"Agree."

Huh...

With a long sigh, several people breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted.

…

Outside the government office, on the second floor of the inn, in the room.

A person opened the window again and looked from a distance, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, filled with murderous intent.

Second update is here!
