Chapter 180: Another Chance to Rip Off(1/2)

When Xu Xuan left the county government, his legs were a little weak, his feet were a little floating, and his mind was in a mess.

The green robe clerk sent him respectfully out of the county gate, but Xu Xuan still did not come back to his senses, but just bowed his hand and said goodbye dullly.

As soon as he stepped out of the county yamen gate, Xu Xuan saw dozens of people standing in front of the yamen, all of whom had just handed over their resumes in the front hall and were screened and eliminated.

Xu Xuan was stunned. If he remembered correctly, there should be forty-two people here.

Seeing Xu Xuan step out of the gate, the noisy noise at the scene disappeared and became silent.

A pair of sad and angry eyes glared at him, and many of the losers surrounded him and walked forward.

The first loser, Ding Youfu, widened his eyes, looked Xu Xuan's whole body, and shouted with a finger: "Can you keep this look last? It looks like me!"

A subtle "trolls" sounded from the crowd, and many people immediately looked at him, their eyes full of contempt.

Shameless people are equally hateful.

"This person won by his appearance, and I am not convinced! Please re-assess the county emperor!"

Finally, the four people who were not selected because of their appearance and temperament stood up and raised their fists and shouted angrily, which attracted a wave of echoes.

"Yes! The inspection titles established by the county government are too ridiculous, and our Jingzhou students are requesting a re-examination!"

"We want to meet the county master!"

Xu Xuan had never dealt with such a scene and was at a loss for a moment.

Even he felt that this trip to the county government was a bit ridiculous. He just measured his height, said a few words of Jiangning, and chatted with the county magistrate Wen for a few words, and was appointed as the mayor of the Nong Reclamation District on the spot.

Is the decision of County Magistrate Wen too hasty?

Xu Xuan also felt that he was a little unfair and was really lucky to be the mayor, and he was ashamed of being the mayor.

Xu Xuan blushed and bowed to all directions: "Everyone, please listen to something..."

The green-robed clerk quickly walked out of the door, stopped Xu Xuan from speaking, raised his hands and said loudly: "Silent!"

This person seems thin, but his voice is loud and full of energy.

The scene immediately became quiet, and the losers stared at him with big eyes.

The green-robed official glanced sternly across the crowd: "Why would you let you make noise and noise in front of the county government office? What kind of morality?"

More than a dozen officers in soap-clothed clothes and swords rushed out of the gate and stood in a row behind the green-robed officers.

Everyone lowered their heads in fear and retreated involuntarily.

"Whoever dares to make noise anymore, attack the county government, immediately take it down and take it to the renovation site!" the green-robed official shouted.

Everyone swallowed their saliva, and no one dared to get into trouble again.

Xu Xuan was able to understand the mood of the losers at this moment and sighed with a wry smile.

The green-robed official whispered: "Mr. Xu, whose real name is Xu Maocai, anyone who has read the life tabloid in Jingzhou must know his name! All the signed articles published by Mr. Xu are published on the front page of each issue of newspapers! Among you, who asks yourself that the number of times the articles have been published on the front page is more than that of Mr. Xu?"

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Xu Xuan with a surprised look as if he had reunited: "Is he Xu Maocai?"

"I have read his masterpiece and it is very well written!"

"Basically, every one or two issues, you can see his articles appear on the front page. It's amazing!"

"In addition to Mr. Siyou, this county has the most articles on the front page!"

"Mr. Siyou's articles are all in plain language, how can they compare with Xu Maocai?"

"Otherwise, I think that although Mr. Siyou's articles are full of vernacular words, they are interesting and thought-provoking!"

"That's because your literary skills are not good, and your appreciation ability is too poor!"

"It's outrageous! Who are you? You dare to speak wildly? You'll be down and you'll be sure to gesture with you~"

There was a burst of discussion in the crowd, and soon the discussion turned into a quarrel. Groups of unsuccessful candidates quarreled and scolded each other, and even pushed and fought. The scene was chaotic, as if a group of fights broke out.

Xu Xuan was stunned.

The green-robed official bowed his hand and smiled, "Master Xu laughed. Jingzhou scholars have a bad foundation and are mostly shallow in their knowledge. These are just a group of mobs."

Seeing that the crowds of people started fighting, Xu Xuan hurriedly said, "Please dissuade me quickly, don't you want someone to die?"

The green-robed official glanced at him and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mayor Xu, just a small fight, there will be no big trouble. Let them fight for a while before they can talk, and then arrest them on the charge of causing trouble in the government office, and send them to the renovation site to dig stones!

Just in the past two days, the renovation site was short of staff. Monk Hun was yelling all day long that he was short of people. Bei Zhi sent some to him. Forty-two people, a lot of them. Monk Hun owed Bei Zhitai and Lou a big drink..."

Looking at the blue-robed officer's disapproval, Xu Xuan was deeply shocked.

Of course he knew who Monk Hun was, the person in charge of the renovation site, a fierce bald scarred face.

Xu Xuan felt speechless and suddenly felt that he and Li Congjia had been arrested before and went to the renovation site, and perhaps someone had made a decision at will.

Turning around and looking at the newly renovated county government office, Xu Xuan shook his head and sighed that the Jingzhou government office is really simple and crude and straightforward.

"I am appointed as a servant to escort Mayor Xu back to the mansion?" said a green robe clerk.

Xu Xuan hurriedly declined, "No need to worry! I settled in Shenghe's residence not far from here, and there was a coachman following me."

As he was talking, the man in the residence drove to him, Xu Xuan said goodbye and boarded the carriage and left.

The green robe clerk watched the carriage drive away, returned to the county government gate, waved his hand, and the officers rushed forward and forced a group of people to separate.

"Everything is taken into jail, and then entrusted to the renovation site to dig stones for a month!"

The green-robed official announced loudly, and waves of wailing begging for mercy sounded.

~~~

Xu Xuan returned to the residence and was surrounded by Hu Guangyue and other friends who flocked to him, the masters and aunts in the back kitchen, and was concerned about the result of his trip to the county government.

Xu Xuan said in a low-key and modest way that the result was not known yet, and just sat face to face with the county magistrate and talked.

Xu Xuan pulled Li Congjia upstairs and returned to the room. He couldn't control how the guy and the aunts discussed and thought about it.

The two of them went back to the room and closed the door. Seeing Xu Xuan frowned and remained silent, Li Congjia said nervously: "Sir, what's going on?"

Xu Xuan looked at him and talked about his fantasy journey like memories.

"...I met Wen Zhongping, the magistrate of Anding County, and had some communication with him. Then... he appointed me as the mayor of the Agricultural Reclamation District... and took office in two days..."

Li Congjia opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "It's over?"

Xu Xuan nodded: "It's over."

Li Congjia was a little unbelievable: "Sir, will he become an official of the Changyi Army?"

Xu Xuan thought for a while: "It should be."

Li Congjia's fat face was full of shock: "Are you so casual in the Changyi Army's official appointments?"

Xu Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, even though he was still a little confused.

"The magistrate Wen County has long known the existence of you and me. Fortunately, he does not know our true identities. This person should be a kind person and promised to send me a letter to the renovation site and hand it over to Xu Biao.

Xu Biao has a hot temper. I am worried that he will have another trouble, so I must deliver the letter as soon as possible."

Xu Xuan started laying paper and was about to write a letter.

Li Congjiayan asked, "What should I do when I take office in the Agricultural Reclamation Area? Will I continue to stay in the residence or follow my husband?"

Xu Xuan took the pen and thought for a while and said, "I am really worried about the little prince staying alone in the county town, so it's better to go with me."

Li Congjia nodded, with a fat face a little sad, and muttered: "What a pity, the master also said that I have the talent to be a cook and am going to accept me as an apprentice..."

Xu Xuan couldn't help laughing and crying: "Does the little prince really like the way of cooking? As the little prince, just use it as a fun and fresh look. Don't be addicted to it."

Li Congjia sighed, nodded without saying anything.

It can be seen that he was reluctant to leave the residence and the back kitchen.

Following the master to taste various dishes and study new dishes every day has become one of his greatest pleasures.

But Xu Xuan left, and he had no confidence to stay in the county alone, so he could only follow him to the agricultural reclamation area.

The next day, Xu Xuan was packing his bags, and Li Congjia went to the back kitchen to say his final farewell to the master and a group of aunts who had been together for two months.

When the master learned that Li Congjia was leaving, he felt a pity and lamented that there was a rising star missing in the kitchen area of ​​the county.

The aunts had tears in their eyes, surrounding Li Congjia and bid farewell reluctantly.

Hu Guangyue came to Xu Xuan and smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, Chu Xun is here, please go down and sit down."

Xu Xuan was happy and hurried downstairs to meet Chu Xun in the lobby.

"Wansheng came here to congratulate Mr. Xu!"

As soon as they met, Zhu Xiu bowed with a smile.

Xu Xuan hurriedly pulled him aside, smiled bitterly and whispered: "Don't show off Chu Shaolang, Xu did not disclose this matter."

Zhu Xiu admired and said, "Mr. Xu is really low-key! Don't worry, I understand!"

"Thank you, Chu Shaolang for keeping it confidential!"

The two sat down and Xu Xuan said softly: "It's only a day before this matter. How did Chu Shaolang know about it?"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said, "Of course, it was revealed by the second uncle who was late."
