Volume 3 Famous Beilu County Chapter 243 The county governor takes office
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Taishou woke up leisurely.
Seeing the mess all over the floor, he almost fainted again.
This was the property he had accumulated for many years, and now it was all lost.
Especially those belongings that could not be taken away were exchanged for silver, and as a result, all the silver was robbed.
"Bastard! Are the people from the Demon Slaying Department in Beilu County City doing this for free?" Prefect Xu was furious, "There are monsters at the inns along the way, looting the merchants along the way, and even robbed me on the head."
Before he officially took office, Governor Xu's momentum was already rising.
"Get on the road and head to the county town!"
Prefect Xu scolded.
The group of people set out towards Beilu County City empty-handedly.
…
Inside the Demon Slayer Division.
Lu Jiuzhang has been dealing with official business.
Beilu County City has many prefecture-level demon slaying departments and county demon slaying departments under its jurisdiction. Many things put together need to be handled by Lu Jiuzhang.
Including the transfer of some personnel and the allocation of a lot of treasury funds.
Lu Jiuzhang needs to make decisions on these matters.
"Director Lu, someone is here to visit."
A boy outside reported, "It's the boss of Qianji Tower."
People from Qianji Tower? What are they looking for?
Lu Jiuzhang waved his hand and asked the servant to bring him in.
A moment later, an eccentric woman stepped into Lu Jiuzhang's office.
The woman saw that Lu Jiuzhang was reading files at his desk, so she didn't interrupt him. She just looked around in the room.
After a while, Lu Jiuzhang finished approving the dossier in hand and then raised his head.
What caught my eye was girl Yuru's face.
"You're here!"
Lu Jiuzhang stood up with a smile.
"The Demon Slaying Department of the County City is indeed much better than the Demon Slaying Department of the Fucheng City." Zhao Yuru looked around, "The first time I met you was in Changshui County, and now you are sitting in the position of the Demon Slaying Department Chief of the Beilu County City.
"
Zhao Yuru was a little emotional.
Lu Jiuzhang's promotion speed was too fast.
She had vaguely heard that the reason why she was promoted to the head of the Qianji Building in the county was also because of Lu Jiuzhang's contribution.
The shopkeeper of Qianji Tower in the county wanted to win over Lu Jiuzhang, so he applied to the people above him to transfer her, who was familiar with Lu Jiuzhang.
This is also a good thing, as it proves that she can get closer to Lu Jiuzhang without falling too far behind at once.
"When I first met Miss Yuru, I thought you were very beautiful. After all this time, I still think you are very beautiful." Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile.
"Grrrr, Shoucheng still knows how to talk."
Zhao Yuru walked up to Lu Jiuzhang, "I finished handling all the matters yesterday and came to the Qianji Building in County City to take up a post. After handling the employment matters, the shopkeeper asked me to come and visit you."
"Also, I found an only copy of a great scholar. Didn't you need it before? I brought it to you." Zhao Yuru took out a book from the storage ring and placed it on Lu Jiuzhang's desk.
This thing is exactly what Lu Jiuzhang needs.
"Thank you, Miss Yuru." Lu Jiuzhang was quite grateful.
With the sole copy of the Great Confucianism, Lu Jiuzhang can make further progress in Confucianism and Taoism.
"Do we still need to say thank you between the two of us?"
Zhao Yuru smiled and turned to talk about another matter, "This time when I return to the capital, my parents are worried about my marriage. They want to entrust a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for me."
While saying this, Zhao Yuru kept looking at Lu Jiuzhang secretly.
The meaning of this sentence couldn't be more obvious.
After knowing each other for so long, Zhao Yuru wanted Lu Jiuzhang to have a different attitude.
At the very least, it should be the attitude of having some definite information.
Rather than being so unclear.
She thought she was good enough to Lu Jiuzhang.
"What's your opinion?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Me?" Zhao Yuru thought for a while, "I don't want to get married so early. I want to work in Qianji Tower for a few more years."
"Then follow your heart."
Lu Jiuzhang said, "After all, you are not very young, so there is no need to be so anxious."
"Too!"
Zhao Yuru nodded and then said, "If, I mean if I plan to get married one day, can you consider me?"
this……
Lu Jiuzhang was stunned.
He didn't know how to answer.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't tell you!"
Zhao Yuru turned around and walked outside.
Lu Jiuzhang didn't pursue him either.
Lu Jiuzhang is also a little unsure about emotional matters.
On the one hand, the eldest brother Lu Huaigu's great revenge has not been avenged.
On the other hand, Lu Jiuzhang now has too many things to shoulder.
Just wait a little longer!
Warriors are different from ordinary people. Most of them are not too strict when it comes to marriage.
…
After work, Lu Jiuzhang returned to the courtyard.
The big black snake has returned, looking festive.
Seeing Lu Jiuzhang come in, the big black snake immediately shut up.
"Master Hei, why don't you tell Master Jiu?"
Bai Xiaosu said.
"Damn it, Bai family girl, you sold me." The big black snake became anxious.
"No way, Master Jiu should know about this."
Bai Xiaosu affirmed.
"Tell me what's going on!"
Seeing the big black snake hesitating, Lu Jiuzhang walked up to the big black snake and asked.
"Master Jiu, it's nothing, we are joking."
The big black snake smiled bitterly.
"Are you kidding?" Lu Jiuzhang nodded slightly, "I have made great progress in my martial arts recently, and I am looking for someone to practice with to strengthen my realm. Your defense is good, do you want to give it a try?"
"No, Lord Jiu, please don't, I said, can't you?" The big black snake had no choice but to tell the whole story.
Luo Fusheng took it outside to practice, and then saw Prefect Xu.
So the big black snake, with the help of Luo Fusheng, robbed Prefect Xu.
Hearing this, Lu Jiuzhang was stunned.
This big black snake has taken revenge.
In Anxi Mansion, Governor Xu also sent people to assassinate Lu Jiuzhang.
"Where is the money that was looted?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Hey, I've prepared the share for Master Jiu." The big black snake had a smile on his face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
Originally, if Lu Jiuzhang didn't know about this, he could have swallowed up most of the money and supplies.
Now that Lu Jiuzhang knows, he will at least score half of the points and go out.
The big black snake feels miserable!
"Is that all?" Lu Jiuzhang asked, "Then Prefect Xu is the prefect of Yifu City after all, and he usually makes a lot of money."
“That’s it really!”
The big black snake complained, "I also thought he was rich, but who knew he was actually a poor man!"
Lu Jiuzhang was then satisfied and received the silver and supplies into his storage ring.
At this time, Lu Jiuzhang's storage ring was filled with a lot of things. If converted into silver taels, they would be worth at least millions of taels.
This is not counting the 10 million taels of silver that Little Killer Xuanji wants to give to Lu Jiuzhang.
Take some time to exchange all these things for gold.
Not only is it easy to carry, it is also convenient for transactions.
What makes Lu Jiuzhang curious is, why did Prefect Xu come to Beilu County?
And if the whole family is moved, isn't it unnecessary?
Chapter 244
Sheriff's Mansion.
Prefect Xu finally arrived.
"Master Taishou, this county is much better than our Anxi Prefecture."
The boy sighed in admiration.
The prosperity of the county town was beyond their expectation.
It was the first time for many of the boys to come to such a big city.
The four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest are far more prosperous than Anxi Prefecture.
"Prefect?"
Xu Taishou glared at the young man and said, "You will go back to Anxi Mansion tomorrow and don't come back again."
"The servants are ignorant, so don't blame the governor."
The housekeeper hurriedly came over and scolded the servant, "Get out of here."
The boy left in despair.
The housekeeper flattered Prefect Xu.
That boy is also ignorant. Now that the master has moved to the right to be the county governor, why do you still call him the prefect?
Isn’t this asking for death?
"Master Sheriff, shall we move into the house first today?" the housekeeper asked.
"You go ahead and do it, I have to go to the Sheriff's Mansion."
Sheriff Xu said, "That monster is really rampant. I can't swallow this breath."
After that, Sheriff Xu sat in a sedan chair and was carried by a servant to the Sheriff's Mansion.
This time, he wanted to show off his majesty as a county guard.
Unless someone is sent to kill the monster and take back the silver and financial reports, Commander Xu vows not to behave like a human being.
…
In the county magistrate's house, a servant reported that the newly appointed county magistrate had arrived.
Lord Jun Cheng stood up and went to the gate to greet him.
Soon, the county magistrate saw a sedan swaggering towards the county governor's mansion.
The county magistrate arranged his clothes, and when he saw the sedan descending, he bowed slightly and said, "Welcome to you, sir!"
"Haha, Jun Cheng is too polite."
County Sheriff Xu walked out of the sedan with a smile, "Speaking of which, Lord County Cheng and I are acquaintances, but this time I am one step ahead. I hope Lord County Cheng will cooperate with me in my work in the future."
After being polite, Sheriff Xu walked towards the mansion.
Lord Jun Cheng followed beside him.
Commander Xu looked at the scenery along the road and asked casually, "Isn't the current director of the Demon Slaying Department Lu Jiuzhang?"
"It's Mr. Lu Jiuzhang!"
The county magistrate nodded in agreement.
"This Demon Slayer Division is useless in his hands." Commander Xu said with a gloomy face.
Lord Jun Cheng doesn't know what happened, so he can't comment too much on it.
In his eyes, Lu Jiuzhang is still very capable.
Arriving at the governor's study, Sheriff Xu took a seat consciously and looked at the layout of the room.
"This is the layout under the previous county governor. If county governor Xu is dissatisfied, he can change it."
Jun Cheng added.
"Change it, this style doesn't suit me." Sheriff Xu said, "Tonight I will hold a banquet in Beilu County. Your Excellency, the County Chief, can invite all the dignitaries in the county and all the famous families to come to the banquet."
Sheriff Xu had already thought of the reasons and came to celebrate his taking office.
These people must be too embarrassed to come empty-handed. The gate will not let them in without carrying something.
As for the merchants, they are not on the stage yet.
We can get to know each other in the future.
"clear!"
Lord Jun Cheng nodded outwardly, but in his heart he cursed a country bumpkin.
This was the first time he had seen such a person who was making money openly and honestly.
Only small places like Anxi Prefecture can produce such talents.
Thinking of what his father-in-law said before, Lord Jun Cheng felt more and more puzzled.
"By the way, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the situation in Beilu County. Please help me choose the place where the banquet will be held." County Sheriff Xu said, "This shouldn't be difficult for you, Lord County?"
"Your Majesty, please find it yourself. I'm not familiar with the situation in Beilu County." The county magistrate refused.
The other party obviously wanted to make him pay and settle the matter for him.
Jun Cheng is not a fool.
Inviting such dignitaries to a banquet must not be too low-level.
The amount of money spent is not a small amount. This chapter has been completed!
