Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 122 Listening to Songs in Goulan
"What happened to you?" Chen Xuanfeng was confused. "Afterwards, Anxi Mansion sent people to the nearby area to investigate the cause of your accident. They also asked the handymen, and they said that you disappeared out of thin air."
"Does Director Chen know about the Zhong family's affairs?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Uh... I heard something." Chen Xuanfeng nodded, "The ancestor of the Zhong family died and the Zhong family lost power. The current conclusion given to Zhong Zhengming is that he betrayed the Demon Slayer Division and was ordered to be hunted down by the Demon Slayer Division."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, he had guessed this result before.
"Director Zhong is dead, those people are all dead, and died in the hands of monsters. I escaped by luck," Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you to say it." Chen Xuanfeng was not a fool. He naturally knew that Lu Jiuzhang didn't want to say it, so he didn't press him. He just said, "I will take care of it over at Anxi Mansion. They
I probably won’t investigate you again.”
"Director Chen..." Lu Jiuzhang hesitated.
Can Chen Xuanfeng really solve this matter?
The building has collapsed, but many people will not feel at ease if Zhong Zhengming is not dead.
"In your eyes, do I have such no background?" Chen Xuanfeng smiled, "I came from the border army. Even though I was squeezed out, I am not at the mercy of others!"
"Thank you very much, Director Chen!"
Lu Jiuzhang bowed his hands and thanked him.
"Zhong Zhengming is dead. If the other party involves some more people, it will definitely cause turmoil." Chen Xuanfeng said, "No matter how powerful those aristocratic families are, they are not the Holy Lord after all!"
"Execute the nine tribes and kill their relatives and friends together. Only the Holy Emperor has the right to do so. If they do this, on the one hand, they will arouse the anger of the people, and on the other hand, they will violate the rules. The anger of the new emperor is not something that these aristocratic families can afford.
.”
"There are dozens or hundreds of aristocratic families, large and small, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the most powerful ones are the royal family, and all other aristocratic families must submit!"
This sentence is true!
The royal family is the largest family, and no one dares to disobey orders!
"The strength of the Demon Slayer Department has been damaged. I plan to promote you to Demon Slayer as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I will send Zhou Cheng to Anxi Mansion. It is estimated that the appointment will be made soon!"
Chen Xuanfeng said, "After becoming a demon slayer, your strength will surely be further improved and you will reach the eighth level of martial arts as soon as possible!"
"Director Chen, I have reached the eighth level of martial arts!"
Lu Jiuzhang said slowly.
This matter cannot be hidden. Even if you don't tell Chen Xuanfeng now, Chen Xuanfeng will probably know about it after a while.
"A breakthrough so soon? Are you bluffing me?"
Chen Xuanfeng looked unbelieving.
"boom……"
Chen Xuanfeng deliberately tested and punched out, which was mixed with the sound of breaking the air.
Lu Jiuzhang formed a fist with five fingers and also punched out.
The two fists collided together, causing waves of air.
Lu Jiuzhang is not at a disadvantage, and even has a slight advantage.
Putting down his fist, Chen Xuanfeng looked at Lu Jiuzhang, "You are pretty good and your progress is fast. Based on your strength, it is definitely enough to serve as deputy director."
"But I just promoted you to Demon Slayer, so it would be a bit faster to promote you again."
"Moreover, becoming the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Changshui County and entering the sight of those in Anxi Mansion too early will do you more good than harm."
"But don't worry, in terms of treatment, I will not treat you badly. I will pay you from our company's warehouse and give you the corresponding treatment of the Deputy Demon Slayer Division."
The level has not been improved, but the treatment has been upgraded, which is not bad.
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, "Director Chen has taken care of me a lot, I really don't know how to thank you!"
"If you're being polite, there's no need to say more. You've just come back. Take a two-day rest and report back on May 18th. If you go quickly, your appointment will be announced by then!"
Director Chen instructed.
After chatting for a few more words, Lu Jiuzhang left.
The monthly salary of a demon slayer in the county demon slaying department is fifty taels of silver.
For a deputy director, his monthly salary is one hundred taels of silver.
In other words, Lu Jiuzhang's annual income reached 1,200 taels, and including the New Year's allowance, it was about 1,340 taels.
Previously, Lu Jiuzhang still had thousands of taels of silver on him, and together they amounted to almost more than 5,000 taels.
This does not include the spiritual herbs, exercises, and martial arts that Lu Jiuzhang had on him.
If these things were converted into silver taels, they would probably cost hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflake silver.
An average person's annual expenses are estimated to be only two to three taels of silver.
Those with poorer conditions may not even be able to spend one tael, or at most spend several hundred pennies a year.
In the entire Changshui County, Lu Jiuzhang is already considered an absolutely wealthy household!
…
After returning to his office, not long after, Zhou Cheng and Wang Yunshan came over.
"Brother Lu, I'm very happy to congratulate you. I heard that you have been promoted again?" Wang Yunshan said with emotion.
This brother of mine was still a handyman when he entered the Demon Slayer Division.
At that time, he was considered an old man and led Lu Jiuzhang on missions.
Unexpectedly, how long has passed? Lu Jiuzhang suddenly transformed and became a demon slayer.
Putting aside the director and deputy director, Lu Jiuzhang is already considered a giant in Changshui County!
"Listen to music tonight!"
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and said, "My treat!"
"Should we still go to Jilefang?" Zhou Cheng asked.
"Master Zhou, since you want to go, then go to Jilefang!" Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile.
A trip there would only cost more than ten taels of silver, and Lu Jiuzhang could still afford it.
"Brother Lu is so brave, but I might not be able to go tonight." Wang Yunshan said with a bitter face, "You have to go home early tonight, otherwise, your wife-in-law will cause trouble for me again!"
On the one hand, Wang Yunshan envied Lu Jiuzhang's chicness, but on the other hand, he suffered from his wife's majesty.
"Understand, understand!"
Lu Jiuzhang said, "Brother Wang, take care!"
"Why!"
A long sigh continued to sound.
…
In the evening, only Zhou Cheng and Lu Jiuzhang went.
However, today ended relatively early. When Lu Jiuzhang came back, he went to the inn first.
The big black dog and the young woman are still here.
Standing outside the guest room, Lu Jiuzhang knocked on the door.
For a long time, no one in the room responded.
Just as Lu Jiuzhang was about to go downstairs and ask the waiter to open the door and go in to take a look, he saw a woman wearing a white robe and her hair tied up walking over.
She was dressed in men's clothing, with a slender waist and a sword, making her look heroic.
With her cold personality and the heroic spirit between her brows, she is simply beautiful to the extreme.
"Ahem...Jiuye!"
The big black dog covered with black scales reminded him.
"Where have you been?"
Lu Jiuzhang came back to his senses and asked.
"I went out for a walk and bought some clothes." The cold young woman said, "This place is not as prosperous as I imagined, but there are quite a lot of people. Most people have no cultivation level, especially the masters in Changshui County.
There are only a few of them, and they can’t compare to what’s inside the ruins!”
The woman commented. This chapter has been completed!
