Deep down in his heart, he still looked down on a country bumpkin like Sheriff Xu.
It’s so cheesy, even if you want to make money, you have to choose a suitable method.
It's really disgusting to have subordinates give gifts to such a grand banquet.
"Lord Jun Cheng!"
Sheriff Xu's face turned dark. He was rejected by the other party when he first took office today.
This doesn't give him face.
"Lord Sheriff, I have some important things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying a few words, Jun Cheng left.
Sheriff Xu stood in the study with a bad look in his eyes.
Later, Sheriff Xu called his servants.
Since the county magistrate won't help, then do it yourself.
"By the way, when you invite the dignitaries of Beilu County, you should also invite Director Lu." Sheriff Xu said, "We are both from Anxi Prefecture and can be considered fellow villagers, so we used this excuse to invite him here.
"
This time I must meet Lu Jiuzhang.
On the one hand, it's because monsters robbed me of my money.
As the director of the county's Demon Slaying Department, Lu Jiuzhang had to give himself an explanation.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Zuo had sent someone to vaguely inform him of the purpose of supporting him, which was to suppress Lu Jiuzhang.
With the support of Prime Minister Zuo, County Sheriff Xu will naturally not be afraid.
I thought that if Master Xu, a great scholar, did not help me, I would have no hope of becoming a county guard.
Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly won the appreciation of Prime Minister Zuo. It can be said that there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is a bright future after another.
However, Prime Minister Zuo said that his main task was to deal with Lu Jiuzhang, and that all other matters would be left to others. Sheriff Xu did not understand this.
I am the governor of the county, and governing the entire county should be my main purpose.
Maybe it's because Prime Minister Zuo and Master Xu don't want to deal with each other.
Maybe there are people who want to suppress Master Xu's lineage.
Master Xu is now the dean of the Overwatch Council, supervising all officials. This position makes many people fear him.
Now in the court, Master Xu has become the target of impeachment by many people.
"Haha, Lu Jiuzhang, you are dead."
Sheriff Xu said slowly.
That day in Anxi Mansion, Lu Jiuzhang didn't give himself any face.
How could I let him go now?
"Report!"
A young boy came over in a hurry and said, "Report to your lord, Bo Cao's servant Li Yong has arrived and wants to see you."
Bo Cao is engaged in?
This position has a lot of power, and I think I have made a lot of money over the years.
"please come in!"
Sheriff Xu waved his hand and said.
"promise!"
The boy withdrew.
A few minutes later, a man wearing black clothes and a crown came in.
This man has a sinister look on his face and is not easy to mess with at first glance.
When he saw Sheriff Xu, a rare smile appeared on his face, "Greetings to the Sheriff."
"It turns out that Li was in charge."
Commander Xu smiled, and first made some insinuations, "I heard that Bo Cao was in charge of the money and food supply of this prince. I wonder if Li was in any trouble during his tenure as Bo Cao?"
"Come on, let me help you solve it!"
Sheriff Xu thought that this sentence was obscure enough.
Anyone with a little common sense knows what to do.
"Ahem... As a county guard, and the person standing behind me is Prime Minister Zuo, I think I can help you solve a small problem." Xu County Sheriff revealed himself in the background again, letting the other party know his strength.
"Prime Minister Zuo?"
Li Zheng thought for a moment.
His father sent a letter telling him about this.
The newly appointed county governor has a strong and powerful figure behind him.
He also asked him to make good friends with the new county governor.
"From now on, I, Li Yong, will definitely follow the lead of the county governor."
Li Zheng made his position clear and planned to side with Governor Xu first.
"Ahem..."
Seeing that the other party had not understood what he meant, County Sheriff Xu had to clarify his purpose, "This time I came from Anxi Mansion, and my money was robbed by monsters along the way. It was a hard time when I first came to Beilu County."
As soon as he said this, Li Cheng understood, "I have five million taels of thin silver on my body. The governor will use it first. If there is not enough, I will talk about it later."
After that, Li Zhang took out five silver notes from his body.
These five banknotes are all in denominations of one million taels and can be exchanged directly after getting them from the bank.
"Li Zhicheng took the trouble."
County Sheriff Xu took it with a smile, "I plan to have a banquet with dignitaries and famous families in Beilu County. It's a first time here to get to know each other. I hope Li Zengcheng can help me introduce them."
"I am not familiar with the connections of these people. I hope Mr. Li can come forward and invite them for me."
This matter was handed over to Li Zheng.
For Li Zheng, this was because Sheriff Xu believed in himself and gave himself a chance to perform.
For a moment, Li Zheng was a little happy.
"Don't worry, Lord Sheriff, I will definitely help you get it done."
Mr. Li agreed.
"Okay, go get it done quickly, it's getting late." Sheriff Xu urged.
"Sir, I have one more thing I would like to ask your help for."
Li Cheng stayed and said.
"What's the matter?"
"I have some misunderstandings with Lu Jiuzhang, the newly appointed director of the Demon Slaying Department in the county, and there may be conflicts. But behind him stands the great scholar Xu Shi, who is also from the Demon Slaying Department system. I would like to seek your support."
Li Cheng stated the purpose.
During this period of time, he had been worried about Lu Jiuzhang's revenge, so he stayed in a simple way and thought about countermeasures.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Sheriff Xu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely help you. I don't want to deal with that Lu Jiuzhang either."
The two finally reached a consensus.
"When you invite dignitaries this time, you must also invite Lu Jiuzhang." Sheriff Xu added.
"As you command!"
Li Cheng nodded and went to do his work.
…
In the county magistrate's mansion.
Lord Jun Cheng felt depressed.
He has always been hostile to the newly appointed county governor.
Since there was nothing else to do, he planned to find Director Lu of the Demon Slaying Department first, and have a drink with Director Lu and talk about his concerns.
"Bang bang bang!"
After arriving at Lu Jiuzhang's courtyard, Lord Jun Cheng knocked on the door.
After a while, a woman came over and opened the courtyard door.
This woman looks pretty, but she gives people a feeling of alienation that is distant from others.
A bit cold.
"I'm looking for Mr. Lu Jiuzhang of the Demon Slayer Division! Please let me know."
Lord Jun Cheng raised his hands and said.
"come in!"
In the courtyard, Lu Jiuzhang had already heard Lord Jun Cheng's voice and said directly.
Lord Jun Cheng stepped in.
They saw Lu Jiuzhang lying on a chair under a grape trellis made of vines, holding an ancient book in his hand and reading.
A lazy black snake was coiled on his shoulder, as if it was asleep.
"Master Lu!"
Mr. Jun Cheng cupped his hands and said, "I was upset, so I came to Mr. Lu to go out for a drink together."
"good!"
Lu Jiuzhang put down the books in his hands, packed up and planned to go out.
"Bang bang bang..."
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
