"Director Chen was promoted to Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Division of Anxi Prefecture, but..."
Lu Jiuzhang didn't say the last sentence. If Chen Xuanfeng really became Lu Jiuzhang's adviser, he might have to gradually live in seclusion behind the scenes.
There is nothing wrong with being the demon slayer of Fucheng now. If everyone enters Beilu County, they will probably start to gradually retire.
At that time, Lu Jiuzhang must have attracted a lot of attention.
If a good counselor appears in front of the stage every day, not only will he be easily targeted, but his plans will also be easily leaked.
"The Demon Slayer is also very good. We can all be together again in the future."
Zhou Cheng didn't think anything of it.
"Okay, you can start renting residences nearby. If you want to buy a property in Anxi Mansion but don't have enough money, I can temporarily lend you some."
Lu Jiuzhang said, "You can find it when the time comes."
Lu Jiuzhang looked at the big black dog and said.
"Isn't it? Master Jiu, what are you doing with me?" The big black dog was puzzled, "I don't have any money either."
"The night I killed Wang Xian Cheng, did you secretly go to his house at night?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"These...eyes are so bright."
The big black dog could only nod his head, "Actually, it's not much money, just seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver."
"I am half of it. If Zhou Cheng and Wang Yunshan want to buy a house, they can just get the money from you." Lu Jiuzhang nodded.
…
The Anxi Prefecture Demon Slaying Division has been reorganized, and there is still a long way to go!
There are not enough martial arts warriors at the seventh and eighth levels. A group can be transferred from Beilu County for temporary emergency.
But where can we find a large number of ninth-grade warriors?
"Director Lu!"
A handyman hurried over and walked up to Lu Jiuzhang, "The people from the Prefecture are here."
"Prefect's Mansion?"
Lu Jiuzhang thought for a moment.
A few days ago, Wang County Cheng found Prefect Xu and spent several hundred taels of gold, asking Prefect Xu to send someone to kill Lu Jiuzhang.
The grievances involved are not small.
"bring it here!"
Lu Jiuzhang waved his hand.
At this time, Lu Jiuzhang also had his own dignity.
The higher your position, the more respected or even feared you are by others.
After a while, a man who looked like a butler was invited over.
"Meet Mr. Lu!"
When the housekeeper saw Lu Jiuzhang, he bowed his hands and bowed.
"What does Prefect Xu want from me?" Lu Jiuzhang asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Sir, Mr. Lu, my husband said that there was a misunderstanding between you and him before. He held a banquet and invited celebrities and noble families in Anxi Prefecture, hoping to clear up the past feud with you."
The butler said, "I hope Mr. Lu can appreciate me!"
He must have started to panic after learning that Master Xu had become the director of the Overwatch Council.
Even if you don't flatter Master Xu, you can't go against Master Xu.
In particular, he also sent people to assassinate Master Xu's disciples.
If it really got to Master Xu's ears and someone was sent to investigate, it would be over.
Who doesn’t have something fishy about them?
Prefect Xu has a lot of dirty things in his hands.
It's better to find a way to make good friends with Lu Jiuzhang and avoid the limelight for the time being.
"Tell Prefect Xu that I will attend the banquet tonight."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded and said.
…
Jingzhao Mansion, Imperial City, Imperial Study Room.
The new emperor is reviewing the memorial.
She leaned back on the chair lazily, while the eunuch beside her read the contents of the memorial.
"Trouble has broken out in Northern Xinjiang. The third son of a humble minister has been brave since he was a child. I hope your majesty will send him to serve in the army to relieve your majesty's worries. The humble minister is not talented. I would like to ask for a position for the third son. Please give me your permission!"
The eunuch thought.
"Who handed me the coupon?"
the new emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, this is the Minister of War."
"According to the report, let his third son serve as a lieutenant colonel in the army, starting from the sixth rank."
"Here!"
"Continue to read." The new emperor said.
"The story of Lord Wei, the imperial censor in the palace. He was impeaching Governor Xu of Anxi Mansion, saying that during his tenure, chaos arose in Anxi Mansion. At the same time, Governor Xu used his authority to benefit no one, and Lord Wei said that he had already
We have the evidence.”
said the eunuch.
Anxi Mansion!
The new emperor murmured to himself.
It's fast enough!
I had just learned that Governor Xu was targeting Lu Jiuzhang not long ago.
Unexpectedly, a small Censor in the third-grade palace actually knew about it.
Such a small official has such sensitive information channels.
When I saw the people in the court, they were all ready to make a move.
The third-rank imperial censor, who wrote a memorial to impeach Prefect Xu of Anxi Prefecture, probably wanted to cling to the big tree of Master Xu and become a member of Master Xu's faction.
They were both in the Overwatch Council, and Master Xu was also the president of the Overwatch Council.
This approach is understandable, but it’s not necessary!
The new emperor has guessed all his little thoughts, how could he still let him get his wish?
"Put this matter aside and tell Mr. Wei that he is the censor of the palace and is in charge of the palace guards and the capital's pickets. Don't stretch your hands too far." The new emperor was displeased.
"But Mr. Wei has conclusive evidence, Your Majesty, this..."
the eunuch asked.
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things? As a punishment, after reading the memorial, I will get the ten big boards myself." The new emperor scolded.
"Thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty."
The eunuch knelt on the ground and almost died of fright.
With just one word, his back was soaked with sweat.
No wonder there is a common saying in the outside world - God's power is unpredictable, and accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
Only by following the Holy One can we deeply understand this sentence.
"If the prefect keeps him, I still have some use for him."
The new emperor said.
The greatest use of Prefect Xu is as a whetstone.
No one knows whether Lu Jiuzhang's knife can be sharpened or whether it will be broken directly.
"Send someone to find Prime Minister Zuo and ask him to support Prefect Xu and give him some support," the new emperor said.
With Zuo Cheng's considerable backing, Prefect Xu should not be afraid of Master Xu behind Lu Jiuzhang.
By then, the conflict between the two deepened.
Look at how Lu Jiuzhang dodges Prefect Xu's killing move and counterattacks an entire army.
The new emperor needs capable people. If Lu Jiuzhang can retire safely, then he can be reused.
But if he fell under Xu Taishou's knife, it shows that such a person is not very capable and is not worth pitying.
If you can pass this level, you will be alive, and your future will be limitless.
If you can't make it, you'll die!
"Here!"
The eunuch nodded.
…
In the distant Anxi Mansion, Lu Jiuzhang didn't know that his life was being controlled.
Seeing that the time was getting later and later, Lu Jiuzhang planned to go to the banquet.
Let’s take a look at the attitude of Governor Xu first!
Secondly, Lu Jiuzhang went here to see what the famous families in Anxi Prefecture were.
In front of the gate of the Demon Slayer Division, two carriages have stopped.
After Lu Jiuzhang got on the carriage, the servant drove towards the mansion where the prefect lived.
Along the road, I saw the carriage of a big shot from the Demon Slayer Division, and the pedestrians gave way.
About a stick of incense later, the carriage stopped in front of Prefect Xu's residence.
The vermilion door has two big characters "Xu Mansion" written on it, which expresses grandeur.
