Chapter 405 Bandit Li Mo! The man who is afraid of dreams(1/2)
As the yamen guard of the Xuantian Pavilion branch in Qingchan City, Chen Tiejia was considered a prominent figure in the area he was responsible for. Faced with the glances directed at him, he instinctively felt displeased and subconsciously squinted.
At a glance, I noticed Li Mo's table.
"They don't seem to be locals. They don't look like good people."
"We are merchants from outside, here to do some small business." Chen Wangdu stood up and silently stuffed a piece of silver over.
The officer didn't even look at it, he just weighed it, grinning from ear to ear.
"Business people... they should all be good people."
Chen Tiejia saw the rich man coming, but he sat down minding his own business.
In Qingchan City, it is often easy to make money, especially from these passing fat sheep. Sometimes you can even eat a whole leg of lamb.
"Chen Tiejia, please give me your support if it's useful in the future."
"Brother Yachai, I heard you just said that a new official will be coming to Qingchan City recently...it seems that the hotel is already waiting for it?"
At this moment, Li Mo spoke.
Although what Chen Tiejia just said was a bit unpleasant, the improvement of public security on the streets and the desire to leave a good impression on the new adults have fully demonstrated that Qingchanshan attaches great importance to his new arrival.
"Looking forward to it? Hehe, I can tell at a glance that there is no way inside." Chen Wangjia poured a glass of wine by himself and said with a grin.
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you know what a grass-badged official is?"
Chen Tiejia shook the wine glass in his hand and scanned everyone's faces with his squinted eyes.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Chen Tiejia said to himself: "The person who planted the bid and sold his head... is the criminal guard..."
"We are also called bandit guards privately."
"Bandit guard!?" Li Mo's eyes widened and his expression became strange.
He didn't expect that his newly appointed official position would have such a nickname, which didn't sound like a serious official.
"It's just an official position that was demoted after committing a crime. It's not a good thing in itself."
Chen Tiejia drank all the contents of the cup in one gulp and lowered his voice: "And I heard that not everyone can be a grassroots official. Such people have some abilities. It's a pity to kill them, but they are guilty of something."
Not too young..."
While talking, Chen Tiejia poured himself another glass of wine.
"Five years ago, a grassroots official came to Qingyang Mansion. Do you know what he committed?"
"What's the matter?" the little black cat asked subconsciously.
At this moment, she turned into a human body, with a pretty appearance and exquisite figure, which actually attracted Chen Tiejia to take a second look.
"Hey, girl, I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you."
"It is said that this person was originally a master of the state hall. In order to hunt down an old black dog, he slaughtered half of the village. There was a pregnant woman whose intestines were taken out..."
Chen Tiejia clicked his tongue and said: "I heard that after he was found, the old dog's body was hanging on the tree at the entrance of the village. The villagers who died in vain were piled in a pile by him and burned to ashes in a fire."
"Is there still such a person?"
"That's not clear... The doorway inside was too deep. Later, he was awarded the position of Caobiao Langguan and sent to Qingyang Mansion."
At this point, Chen Tiejia put down his wine glass: "Do you think... people who sit in this kind of position are considered normal people?"
"I don't know how perverted our new guy is..."
Chen Tiejia sighed: "Sweeping the streets is just to prevent this god of plague from attacking for no reason."
"When the assessment comes next year and this god of plague is sent away, there will be no need to be so cautious."
As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on Chen Tiejia's face, as if he had seen a bright future with spring flowers blooming.
As soon as he finished speaking, no one spoke at the entire table. Zhu Gangxi, Kui Gang, Wang Jiu, Little Black Cat, and Ji Tianwei were all staring straight at Chen Tiejia.
"By the way, after talking for a long time, I still haven't asked the young master for his surname."
Chen Wangjia seemed to be blind and did not notice the looks and gazes of everyone at all. Instead, he looked at Li Mo.
Li Mo glanced at him, put down his wine glass, and said calmly: "Li Mo."
"Li Mo!? This name... is weird. It seems a little familiar..."
Chen Tiejia was stunned for a moment. Li is a common surname, and there are quite a few people with the surname Li in Qingchan City. However, this name has a bad connotation, so it seems very special.
Because of the specialness, Chen Tiejia had a vague impression. It seemed that this was not the first time he heard this name, as if he had vaguely seen it somewhere.
"Li Mo...Li Mo..."
"Right."
At this moment, Chen Tiejia slammed the table, and a hint of awakening joy appeared on his face: "The new official document that came in two days ago, the name of the official with the official mark is Li Mo, hahaha, look at me
remember……"
The words stopped suddenly, and the smile on Chen Tiejia's face gradually solidified. He stared blankly at Li Mo, his eyes widening.
"Sir...sir..."
The next moment, Chen Tiejia fell to his knees with a pop.
"Just now... just now... those are the outside world's stereotypes of... adults... I... I have always scorned them, hated them, and felt ashamed of them..."
"I have long said that the rumors are not credible. When I saw you today, the rumors were proven to be self-confirmed. Your Excellency Yushu..."
"Xiao Chen... I just pretended that I didn't hear those words."
Li Mo stood up with a kind smile on his face.
"Let's go, lead the way to Xuantian Pavilion."
While talking, Li Mo walked past him.
"Sir...it's quite strange."
Chen Tiejia looked at Li Mo's back and breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling slightly moved in his heart.
At this moment, a shadow came over him. Chen Tiejia looked up and saw that Zhu Gangxie, Kui Gang, Wang Jiu and others had surrounded him at some point.
After a while, everyone walked out of Yunfeilai Inn.
"Old Chen, you take them to settle down first and find two houses...Uncle Ma likes peace and quiet."
"Sir, you..."
"Don't worry, Xiao Chen will lead the way."
Li Mo smiled slightly and looked to the side. At this time, Chen Tiejia was much fatter than before.
"I will definitely serve you well."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Tiejia covered his swollen cheeks and vowed.
"Master, let me go with you." Zhu Ganghe couldn't help but said.
Although Li Mo was relegated to this position, if he didn't bring anyone with him, it would be too disrespectful. If he didn't protect himself, he would be ignored by the arrogant people here.
"That's fine."
Li Mo nodded and only brought Chen Tiejia and Zhu Ganghe with him.
…
Xuantian Pavilion in Qingchan City was only three streets away from Yun Feilai Inn. After a while, the two of them arrived.
From the outside, the front door here is not even comparable to the Xuantian Pavilion of Longyuan Mansion. The two vermilion doors have begun to fade, and the copper nails on them are also showing signs of falling off.
"This facade needs renovation." Li Mo said casually.
"Sir, you come from a big place, and you don't know the difficulties of a small place. To get money for renovation, the process alone will take a year, and you may not be able to get the approval," Chen Tiejia said in a low voice.
When Li Mo heard this, he didn't say much. The Xuantian Pavilion here even manages the security on the street, so he can't ask for too much.
You must know that even in Longyuan Mansion, Xuantian Pavilion's status is extremely high, and it is the object of fawning over all major sects and aristocratic families.
The disciples of Xuantian Pavilion also only focus on monks, demons and ghosts.
As expected, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. In a place like this, all the orders are different, and even the functions and powers of the officials are abandoned, not to mention the majesty of the state religion.
However, this is also caused by the environment. It can be seen that under the splendor of the prosperous times, there are also unseen shackles, especially in such remote areas.
"Let's go, take me to see your city hall."
The head of Xuantian Pavilion is considered the highest authority here.
Li Mo held the position of "Grand Official". Although he had no rank, in terms of authority, he was equivalent to a deputy official.
Chengguan here is his immediate boss.
"Sir, please come inside."
Chen Tiejia led the way into the front hall, and all the government guards who had not been out on patrol looked over.
"Old man, what happened to your face? Did you fall into the pig pen?"
