Chapter 238: First Meeting Jiang Shi

Late that night, after sitting cross-legged and meditating, Lu Fang successfully broke through to the realm of Knee Eye Wonderful Gate.

Before becoming an eighth-level martial artist, there are still several wonderful gates such as Liangqiu, Fuliu, Yingu, Blood Sea, and Chengshan.

If nothing else, it should only take more than half a month to break through and become an eighth-level martial artist.

Chen Youxi, who was lying next to her, sensed Lu Fang's breakthrough again, so she didn't even bother to open her eyes, hummed twice, and continued to sleep.

Lu Fang happily lay down on the bed and hugged her.

The night passed like this.

The next morning, Lu Fang was still copying books in his room.

When it was almost time, a servant from the county government came to the door and said, "Master Lu, I invite you to go to the county government office. Mr. Futai wants to see you."

This actually surprised Lu Fang.

He didn't know what Jiang Shi wanted to do with him.

At most, I only had a meal with Jiang Hancheng, and actually had little interaction with the Jiang family.

But there shouldn't be any harm in getting to know Jiang Shi.

Not to mention himself, at least Lu Liang is still working under others!

I followed the yamen servant to the county yamen.

Until Lu Liang's office.

Lu Fang first met Jiang Shi, the governor of Tanzhou, the parent official who was in charge of Tanzhou.

As soon as he entered the door, he bowed his hands to Jiang Shi and saluted, "Lv Fang, a common man, has met the governor."

In the room, there were Lu Liang, Liu Mao, Zhou Fang, Cao Badou and Jiang Shi.

Lu Liang, Zhou Fang and Cao Badou all looked good, but Liu Mao looked a bit forced.

Probably because they had already talked about fighting floods, it was definitely necessary to be praised by Jiang Shi. But when it came to erecting monuments, Liu Mao would inevitably feel like he was eating flies.

He also donated money, and the families he was friendly with were also plundered by Lu Fang, but this time, they were all reduced to mere foils.

Jiang Shi chuckled, "Young master Lu, you don't need to be polite."

Lu Fang straightened up and looked at Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi also looked at him and said: "Master Lu is indeed very handsome."

It’s necessary, Lu Fangxin said.

He said: "The governor has given you too much praise."

Jiang Shi was still smiling, and then he brought the topic down to business, "I wonder if Master Yu is at home now? I would like to ask him to preside over the monument erection ceremony."

That's what it turned out to be.

Obviously this guy is also an old official.

By asking Yu Yuanwei to come forward, it means that Jiang Shi has established a relationship with Yu Yuanwei. And maybe he can get involved with Yu Yuanwei from this.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Lu Fang secretly scorned him and said, "Teacher, he has already returned to Kyoto."

"Going back to Kyoto?"

Not only Jiang Shi, but also Liu Mao, Lu Liang and others looked surprised.

Lu Fang and even Lu Liang never mentioned this matter. Mainly because he felt there was no need to mention it deliberately.

Looking at the doubtful looks in several people's eyes, Lu Fang nodded, "The emperor has summoned the teacher to the capital to serve again."

A shocking statement.

Jiang Shi and others suddenly became even more surprised.

Liu Mao's eyes flickered violently several times.

To die!

The fact that Yu Yuanwei returned from his official career already made them a little afraid, and they did not dare to use underhanded methods to deal with Lu Liang and the Lu Fang brothers. They did not expect that Yu Yuanwei would be re-activated.

Since it is reactivation, if there is no fault, at least the official must be reinstated, right?

Just by virtue of being a student of Yu Yuanwei, Lu Fang gained some respect in Tanzhou.

At this moment, Liu Mao finally began to regret a little. He was so greedy for profit that he believed Pan Kui's temptation and came to Ningyuan County to serve as the county magistrate.

Originally it was just a county, but now because Lu Fang has hooked up with Yu Yuanwei and Liang Siqi, it feels like it is in deep water no matter how you look at it.

Even he had heard about Lu Fang's sword injury to Pan Kui in Tanzhou.

"hehe."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Then I would like to congratulate Master Yu."

It's inevitable that I'm still a little disappointed.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Somindai."

Lu Fang smiled and said: "When you write to the teacher in the future, I will convey the governor's congratulations."

He pretended to be cool without leaving any trace.

But these words obviously made Jiang Shi very happy. The disappointment on his face disappeared, and he looked at Lu Fang with a bit of appreciation in his eyes.

This guy is very smart!

Liu Mao's face was even more ugly.

The looks in the eyes of Zhou Fang and Cao Badou seemed a little meaningful.

The two of them are also serious officials, second only to Lu Liang and Liu Mao in the county government. But until now, they have not clearly taken sides.

Zhou Fang has no hope of being promoted to the county magistrate, while Cao Badou does not belong to this system. The county captain is half civilized and half military.

There is really no need to wade through this muddy water.

But now that Yu Yuanwei has returned to Beijing to take up a post, things are different.

It can be said that Lu Fang has suddenly become a more promising stock than Lu Liang.

With Yu Yuanwei taking care of him in the court, as long as Lu Fang wins the election, his future achievements are estimated to be quite high. If they are on good terms with Lu Fang...

For a time, several people in the office had their own thoughts.

Jiang Shi clapped his hands and said, "It's getting late, so let's go to the outside of the city to hold a monument erection ceremony?"

Lu Liang blinked at Lu Fang and quickly stood up, "Master Futai, please."

Then a crowd of people surrounded Jiang Shi and walked outside.

Then he went to the reception room of the county government office and called several other officials.

They were all brought by Jiang Shi.

Jiang Hancheng is also among them.

But Lu Fang also knew him.

The two nodded and smiled.

Just as they were about to get into the carriage, Jiang Shi suddenly said: "Magistrate Lu and Young Master Lu, why not ride with me?"

These words surprised the officials around him.

Lord Futai, have you already appreciated Lu Liang and Brother Lu Fang to such an extent?

In this day and age, inviting others to ride with you means a very high degree of recognition.

Even Lu Liang and Lu Fang were a little surprised.

Then Lu Liang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Futai."

Jiang Shi nodded with a smile and got into the carriage.

Lu Liang and Lu Fang also got in.

Everyone watched the two of them get into the carriage, and they all got on the carriage with different expressions.

Soon, the sound of gongs and drums sounded at the gate of the county government office.

Lu Fang even invited a lion dance team.

All the ceremonial guards in the county government were dressed in red and colorful, which was extremely festive.

The lion dance team and the gong and drum team were in front, followed closely by the honor guard, and then followed by a motorcade headed by Jiang Shi's carriage, flanked by government officials holding plaques.

Behind him are the county police officers.

This battle is certainly considered a huge one in Ningyuan County.

Go straight from the county government office to the south of the city.

The people along the way were so startled by the loud gongs and drums that they couldn't help but whisper.

"Which great master is here? Such a big battle?"

"Hey, you haven't heard! It's Mr. Futai from Tanzhou who is here and wants to issue a plaque to our Ningyuan County!"

"What plaque?"

"This is a plaque to fight against floods! We, Ningyuan, have done the best job in controlling this flood in Tanzhou."

"In addition to issuing plaques, I heard that Mr. Futai will also personally erect monuments for those of us in Ningyuan who have donated money!"

"Oh, then our Ningyuan shows his face this time."

"That's necessary."

"Let's go and have a look!"

"We also have to give our county grandpa a good cheer!"



Lu Fang and others in the carriage could not hear the discussion outside, masked by the sound of gongs and drums.

After getting on the bus, he and Lu Liang just sat on the left and right seats below Jiang Shi respectively. With smiles on their faces, neither one spoke first.

Jiang Shi looked at the two of them, suddenly sighed, and said, "Actually, I have something else I want to tell you, Magistrate Lu, today."

"Please give me your instructions, Mr. Futai."

Luliang Gongshou Tao.

But because of Jiang Shi's sigh, Lu Fang suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
