Volume II Fengqi Anxi House Chapter 187 Hired as a Adviser
Master Xu’s handwriting!
Lu Jiuzhang opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter carefully.
After drinking tea, Lu Jiuzhang closed the envelope.
Master Xu went to the Supervisory Council to serve as a supervisor for all officials.
This also explains why as soon as he came back, Beilu County was eager to promote him to deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture.
This is to curry favor with his teacher.
The power of the Control Yuan is not small.
My teacher didn't want to enter the court, and he didn't know why he made this decision.
Master Xu told Lu Jiuzhang to be more cautious when doing things in the future.
The higher Master Xu's status is, the higher Lu Jiuzhang's status will be.
But once Lu Jiuzhang makes a mistake, it will become a reason for the other party to criticize Master Xu.
As for Lu Jiuzhang's appointment as deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture, Master Xu said that he knew about it and told Lu Jiuzhang not to worry and just take up his post with peace of mind.
That's all I've been told.
Originally, Master Xu wanted to give Lu Jiuzhang something to protect himself, but coming from the imperial capital, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, so accidents are easy to happen.
During this period, Master Xu will visit the thirty-six counties. When passing through Beilu County, Lu Jiuzhang can go to Beilu County to meet him. At that time, Master Xu will give Lu Jiuzhang some self-defense items.
In the last paragraph of the letter, Master Xu left a sentence - "Your salary and salary are good for the people. The people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully! Does Shoucheng still remember this sentence? I plan to erect a monument to it."
In the center of every government office in the Great Zhou Dynasty, these officials were urged to fulfill their duties, guard the territory for the emperor, and seek welfare for the people.]
[My disciple Shoucheng, you once said that as a Confucian, you should establish your mind for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations. I hope Shoucheng can remember these words and practice them.]
The letter contains Master Xu’s sincere teachings.
I have to say that my teacher is quite reliable.
"What did the letter say?" Chen Xuanfeng asked.
"Let me serve with peace of mind."
Lu Jiuzhang felt relieved, and the doubts he had just disappeared.
"Director Chen, please return to Changshui County tomorrow." Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Director Lu, my position has changed. I am the demon slayer of Anxi Prefecture." Chen Xuanfeng reminded, "As the deputy director of the demon slayer department of Fucheng, you must be serious in your words and make no loopholes. Don't let these trivial matters lead you."
, being laughed at.”
Lu Jiuzhang had to learn a lot of things.
Especially in official circles, there is intrigue and deception.
"Starting today, I would like to hire Mr. Sir as my counselor." Lu Jiuzhang suddenly said.
"Counselor?"
Chen Xuanfeng was stunned.
There are more or less ingenuity around those big people.
These people are close confidants of big shots.
The advice of counselors will affect every move and even strategy of the big shots.
Correspondingly, most of these counselors are hidden in secret and unknown.
Chen Xuanfeng also said before that it is time to form his own team.
Therefore, Lu Jiuzhang did not address Chen Xuanfeng's position, but instead used the term "Mr."
"The counselor is not what I thought, but..." Chen Xuanfeng didn't know what to say, "Give me a few days and let me think about it."
Who doesn’t want to become famous and appear holy in front of others?
Living in seclusion behind the scenes is not what Chen Xuanfeng wants.
But if he didn't rely on Lu Jiuzhang, he might have to huddle in this small Anxi mansion for the rest of his life, being constantly dominated and restrained. This is not what Chen Xuanfeng wants.
That day, Chen Xuanfeng brought Lu Huaigu's ashes to Lu Jiuzhang's other courtyard and persuaded Lu Jiuzhang to join the Demon Slayer Division.
Now, Lu Jiuzhang has full wings and has the support of great scholars behind him, and has grown into a big shot that he looks up to.
Perhaps, relying on Lu Jiuzhang is not an option.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, think about it slowly."
Lu Jiuzhang walked towards the outside of Anxi Mansion.
…
In a remote courtyard, the big black dog is recovering from his injuries.
"Master Jiu, after killing so many monsters, have I given you any money?"
Seeing Lu Jiuzhang come in, the big black dog asked hurriedly.
When he was slaying monsters in the mountains of northern Xinjiang before, the former Director Xu mentioned that even if someone from the Demon Slayer Division killed the monster, the Demon Slayer Division would still give him a certain reward.
In the mountains of northern Xinjiang, Lu Jiuzhang and Big Black Dog had to deal with a lot of monsters.
Therefore, some of the silver must belong to it.
"No!"
Lu Jiuzhang shook his head.
I went to the Demon Slayer Division today with the original intention of asking for money.
But who would have thought that he would actually become the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture.
The entire Fucheng Demon Slayer Department is in this state and needs to be reorganized.
It's not appropriate to take money now.
"I have moved to the right to be the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department." Lu Jiuzhang said, "We will talk about the money later."
"Deputy Director of the Demon Slaying Department of Changshui County?" asked the big black dog, "You're not a high-ranking official, so you might as well ask for money."
Big Black Dog didn't go to the Demon Slayer Division, so he doesn't know the specific situation.
"Ahem...move to the right to become the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Fuck... what a fool!" The big black dog was shocked, "Awesome! Master Jiu is indeed the strongest man in the world. I was the one who made a loud voice just now. Master Jiu, please don't blame me!"
"What more money do you need? From now on, the entire Demon Slaying Division will belong to our family. The Demon Slaying Division's treasure house is our treasure house, and the Demon Slaying Division's money is our money!"
"If you want to spend it, just go to the bank and get it."
The big black dog was extremely excited.
"I plan to go back to Changshui County tomorrow, will you go?" Lu Jiuzhang asked, "If you don't want to go, you can stay in Anxi Mansion. I won't be there for long, and I may come back in a few days."
"We have to go. Now we can show our holiness in front of others. Didn't there still be many people who wanted to eat my flesh before? I beat him so much that I don't even recognize him anymore."
The big black dog said excitedly.
"I can do it. I'll go wherever you go."
Bai Xiaosu said.
"Okay, have a good rest tonight, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning." Lu Jiuzhang instructed.
…
Changshui County, in a remote street.
In the evening, Aunt Zhao took out a basin of water and poured it outside the door.
Seeing Zhao Chan'er sitting on the threshold, looking at Lu Jiuzhang's house, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but cursed, "Damn girl, what are you doing sitting outside after dinner?"
"What are you waiting for when Lu Jiuzhang comes back? I'm afraid that white-eyed wolf was already dead when he was slaying the demon."
"Mom, why are you still cursing Brother Lu?" Zhao Chan'er said dissatisfied, "Last time you were in prison, Brother Lu rescued you."
"How about using him to save me?"
Aunt Zhao scolded, "I have taken care of him for so many years, and his elder brother who died early is not a worry-free person. If it weren't for me, he would have starved to death long ago. This is what he should do!"
Aunt Zhao's hoarse voice echoed in the alley.
"Tap tap tap..."
There was a sound of footsteps.
Aunt Zhao looked up and found that she was from the Yamen.
"Look, they must be here to ransack the house." Aunt Zhao said, "Lu Jiuzhang, that white-eyed wolf, has offended Mr. Wang. He will never be able to live in Changshui County again."
"Now our family is gone! Just calm down and find an honest man to marry in the future." This chapter has been completed!
