Volume 2 Fengqi Anxi Mansion Chapter 188: Regret is too late
No wonder Aunt Zhao thinks so!
In her eyes, Lu Jiuzhang was a fat official, a high-ranking official in the Demon Slayer Division.
But Wang Xiancheng has a higher official position than Lu Jiuzhang, so wouldn't it be more than enough to deal with Lu Jiuzhang?
The rank of official is overwhelming, let alone Mr. Wang, who is the biggest official in Changshui County.
The few yamen officials walked to Lu Jiuzhang's house, paused for a moment, and then walked to Aunt Zhao's house, "May I ask if this is Director Lu's house?"
"Director Lu? That boy Lu Jiuzhang?" Aunt Zhao asked, "It is indeed the white-eyed wolf's home. Are the adults going to ransack the house?"
Of course, we need to get first-hand information about such gossip, Aunt Zhao asked eagerly.
"Bold! What are you talking about? You dare to talk nonsense? Believe it or not, I will arrest you and put you in jail for questioning?" The clerk panicked and scolded.
Can this be said casually?
Director Lu is the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture, and his rank is much higher than that of the county magistrate of Changshui County.
After being scolded, Aunt Zhao was stunned. It wasn't a house raid. She guessed wrong?
Wait, those junior officials just called Lu Jiuzhang Director Lu?
Aunt Zhao was a little nervous when she saw the clerk just now and didn't hear clearly. Only now did she react.
That white-eyed wolf from the Lu family actually got promoted!
Damn, God is really short-sighted.
"Ahem...I said something wrong. Don't blame me, adults." Aunt Zhao smiled bitterly, "This is indeed Mr. Lu's house. I have watched Mr. Lu grow up and have a good relationship with me.
What do you want me to do, adults?"
"Tomorrow, Director Lu will go back to Changshui County to visit his relatives and return to his hometown in fine clothes." The clerk said, "Please clean up this street and welcome Director Lu home."
Aunt Zhao asked, "Is Director Lu the director of our Changshui County Demon Slaying Department?"
If he is the director of the Demon Slaying Department of Changshui County, his status is indeed very high, but he is still below the county magistrate.
The clerk rolled his eyes at Aunt Zhao and said, "Director Lu has recently moved to the right as the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture to protect the safety of the people of Anxi Prefecture. You common people, please do not offend Director Lu!"
What?
Aunt Zhao was shocked.
That kid Lu Jiuzhang suddenly became the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture.
Aunt Zhao didn't know the rank, but it was Anxi Mansion, so it was naturally scary.
Aunt Zhao could no longer hear clearly what the clerk said later.
She was still in shock, until after the clerk left, Aunt Zhao collapsed on the ground and burst into tears, "Daughter, I can't help you. You could have become the wife of the director!"
If you treat Lu Jiuzhang well, let your daughter marry Lu Jiuzhang.
Now that Lu Jiuzhang is so powerful, his own daughter can also prosper along with him.
But!
What did she do to herself?
He prevented his daughter from interacting with Lu Jiuzhang, and even took the initiative to distance herself from her relationship with Lu Jiuzhang.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuzhang has become a towering tree that their whole family looks up to.
…
The next day, early morning.
June twenty-eight!
Renyin, Bingwu, Renzi.
Appropriate: dilapidated house, don’t take anything else, ruined walls, taboo: all things are inappropriate.
"Master Jiu, you have a bad day today, do you still want to go out?"
Inside the house, the big black dog asked.
"We are not going out, we are going home!" Lu Jiuzhang corrected.
Changshui County was where Lu Jiuzhang grew up, and it was also the place where he stayed the longest after traveling through time.
"It's not appropriate to do anything, and it's not appropriate to go home either."
The big black dog muttered softly.
"You talk a lot of nonsense. Go check the door. Is anyone here?" Lu Jiuzhang ordered.
"Okay!"
The big black dog walked to the door in a hurry, and saw two carriages parked in front of the house, and six or seven horsemen standing there.
Seeing the big black dog coming out, the handyman who had been prepared knew that this was the monster closest to Lu Jiuzhang, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Hei, we are ready. When will Director Lu leave?"
"Let's go now!"
In the courtyard, Lu Jiuzhang heard the sounds outside and knew that someone had arrived, so he walked out of the door.
Bai Xiaosu rushed out in a panic, carrying a big package on his back.
Two people and one dog got on the first carriage.
Although the remaining car is empty, it must be followed.
There is no way, this is the treatment that the director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture must receive when he goes out.
Two carriages and six or seven attendants.
Once one of the carriages breaks down, the other carriage can be replaced immediately.
As for the accompanying handymen.
Although there are not many people left in the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture, there are still dozens of handymen.
Especially now that Lu Jiuzhang is the only deputy director left in Anxi Prefecture's Demon Slaying Department.
The superiors did send a deputy director down, but he was on the way and had not yet arrived.
"Let's go to Qianji Tower first."
After getting on the carriage, Lu Jiuzhang gave instructions.
"Got the order!"
The handyman nodded and drove Lu Jiuzhang to Qianji Tower of Anxi Prefecture.
When the carriage was about to arrive in front of the gate of Qianji Tower, Director Zhao had already come out to greet him.
"Director Lu!"
Seeing Lu Jiuzhang step out of the carriage, Director Zhao was a little respectful.
In fact, Lu Jiuzhang now has a powerful background and has been promoted to deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department of Anxi Prefecture. He is already one of the most powerful people in the entire Anxi Prefecture.
Mr. Zhao must be polite in both public and private matters.
"Miss Yuru is too outspoken."
Lu Jiuzhang walked to Zhao Yuru's side.
The breeze suddenly picked up, and Lu Jiuzhang's clothes were fluttered by the wind. He had the feeling that a stranger is like jade, and that he is an unparalleled prince.
For a time, Zhao Yuru was in a state of confusion.
"Go in and talk!"
Lu Jiuzhang said.
There are too many people here and it is not suitable for conversation.
After all, Lu Jiuzhang's status is not low now.
The two walked to the backyard together.
"Director Lu, please sit down."
Director Zhao said respectfully.
"How can Miss Yuru be so polite?" Lu Jiuzhang smiled and shook his head. At the beginning, it was Director Zhao who said that there was no need to meet outsiders and called each other by name.
Now she is polite again.
"As before, just call me Shoucheng."
Lu Jiuzhang instructed.
On the way to the mountains of northern Xinjiang to slay demons, Director Zhao once gave himself a personal soft armor to protect Lu Jiuzhang.
Lu Jiuzhang will naturally never forget this kindness.
"Shou Cheng!"
Zhao Yuru smiled and said, "Brother Shoucheng actually learned from the emperor's master, which is really beyond my expectation."
In the past, she kept guessing which big shot was standing behind Lu Jiuzhang and why the owner of [Yingtian Restaurant] had his token on him.
Now it seems that she underestimated him.
The great scholar Xu Shi is now in charge of the Supervisory Yuan, supervising all officials.
Another popular person next to the new emperor.
Lu Jiuzhang has a bright future!
Behind her is just one of the twelve aristocratic families of Qianji Tower, and behind the twelve aristocratic families is just a prince.
If we really want to talk about it, Master Xu's status at this time is even higher than that of the prince.
So what about the aristocratic families? In the Zhou Dynasty, the new emperor was the largest aristocratic family, and other aristocratic families were not worth mentioning in front of the new emperor.
The new emperor may be able to create a powerful family with just one word. This chapter has been completed!
