Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 246 Breeze Two Sleeves
Night falls.
Two carriages stopped in front of the restaurant.
There are already many carriages parked here, and Lu Jiuzhang and Lord Jun Cheng arrived relatively late.
After the two of them entered, it was already full of guests.
While they were drinking wine, the newly appointed Governor Xu was glowing and walking among the guests.
Many guests toasted to Governor Xu, which was very lively.
It was crowded, and the topics of conversation were all kinds of different.
We talked about which fireworks place has good girls, and also talked about the recent fog incident.
Others talked about the personal affairs of important figures in the capital.
When Lu Jiuzhang and Lord Jun Cheng arrived, they did not attract anyone else's attention, but Commander Xu looked over immediately.
He picked up the wine glass and walked towards the two of them, and reminded everyone, "Everyone, my fellow countryman, Mr. Lu, the director of the county and city's demon slaying department, is here."
Not many of the high-ranking officials, nobles, and celebrities in the county had seen Lu Jiuzhang.
For a moment, everyone stood up and welcomed him.
"Hahaha, Director Lu, that day you moved to the right of the county to kill the demon director, which really made me envious. I didn't expect that I would also set foot in Beilu County today."
Sheriff Xu didn't hide his thoughts at all, "Hey, Mr. Lu also gave me a gift, I wonder what it is?"
"Of course it's a good thing to give to Governor Xu."
Lu Jiuzhang handed the beautifully wrapped gift box to County Sheriff Xu.
In front of everyone, Sheriff Xu opened it directly.
When I saw that it was just a picture of words, I immediately lost interest.
But under the cheers of the crowd, he had no choice but to open the picture.
In just an instant, Sheriff Xu's face turned dark, and there were two lines of words written on it - Qingfeng raises his sleeves to the sky, so as not to hinder Yama's short and long words.
Is this making fun of yourself for accepting gifts in public?
Seeing the content of this calligraphy, all the dignitaries and celebrities present fell silent.
It can be seen that there is some difficulty in dealing with Director Lu and the newly appointed county governor.
But these people don't dare to take sides casually.
There is also a big shot behind Director Lu, and they are not someone they can offend.
"Hahaha, I don't have any gifts to give you." Lord County Cheng smiled, "I didn't bring much money with me when I went out today, just five taels. I hope County Sheriff Xu won't blame me."
Having said that, the Lord Commander took out five taels of silver and prepared to hand it to Commander Xu.
"Okay, great!"
Sheriff Xu's face was as gloomy as water.
This is a naked insult.
When he has reached this stage, not to mention five taels of silver, even five hundred taels, or five thousand taels would not be in the eyes of Commander Xu.
Is this sending beggars away?
"Is Sheriff Xu not satisfied with this gift?"
Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile, "Integrity and integrity are the foundation of an official. We all believe that if Commander Xu can take office, it will naturally benefit the whole party."
On the surface, Lu Jiuzhang was praising the county governor, but in everyone's ears, it turned out to be an overt mockery.
"Director Lu, we are both from Anxi Prefecture, so there is no need for this, right?" Commander Xu said coldly.
"Hahaha, what a joke. The governor and I are not from the same place." Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile, "Anxi Mansion is proud of me and ashamed of you. If you don't believe me, please dress up and go ask among the people of Anxi Mansion.
, look at what the people said."
This is clearly an attempt to trample Governor Xu under his feet.
"Lu Jiuzhang, don't go too far."
Sheriff Xu was furious, "Do you really think I can't cure you? On the way to Beilu County, all my money and silk were robbed by monsters. You are the director of the Monster Slaying Department of the county, but you allowed the monsters to cause trouble."
"If nothing else, I'm going to give you a piece of music, and you can't escape the blame."
Sheriff Xu scolded, "Do you really think I can't control you as a demon slayer?"
Sheriff Xu could not remove Lu Jiuzhang from his official position, but he could order Lu Jiuzhang to exterminate the demon.
The county governor is the official of the feudal territory, and even if the Demon Slayer Division is not part of the county or city system, it must still be under its jurisdiction, otherwise everything will be in chaos.
"I wonder how you want me to destroy the demon?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked back, "There has been no danger for nearly a year from Anxi Prefecture to Beilu County, and all the monsters along the way have disappeared. Those caravans are fine, but my lord has been robbed."
"That's enough to say. Could it be that County Sheriff Xu has become angry and resentful, and God has sent monsters to punish him?"
Lu Jiuzhang was tit for tat.
Sheriff Xu became even more angry.
"Master Lu, is this your attitude?" Commander Xu scolded, "Do you really think that I can't take part in the concert?"
"Don't worry, Commander Xu, I will continue to suppress demons." Lu Jiuzhang said, "I won't give you a chance to catch me, but please be careful, Commander Xu. Sometimes God wants to retaliate against someone, and he might be struck to death by a thunderbolt.
Already."
Lu Jiuzhang would not be polite to Governor Xu.
They are already enemies anyway.
Isn’t it possible to welcome him with a smile?
After saying this, Lu Jiuzhang looked at the Jun Cheng next to him, "Lord Jun Cheng, let's go, we are not welcome here."
After mocking Governor Xu, Lu Jiuzhang's mission was completed.
"Let's go, Master Lu!"
Jun Cheng followed Lu Jiuzhang, and the two of them walked towards the outside of the restaurant.
In the middle of the field, Sheriff Xu was furious and threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, "How dare Zhu Zian bully me!"
"Don't be angry, Commander Xu. Lu Jiuzhang is just a young boy. Why bother?"
"That's right, young people like this don't know how high the sky is and how high they are, so they rely on someone behind them to support them."
"Xu County Sheriff, you are a dignified County Sheriff, how can you not deal with a young man easily?"
"..."
Everyone followed and started to flatter Governor Xu.
This is also because Lu Jiuzhang is not here, so they dare to speak so brazenly.
If Lu Jiuzhang was still here, they would still say nothing.
"I appreciate your kindness, and that's all for today's banquet."
Commander Xu put down these words, asked his servants to move away the gifts, and then hurried back to his house.
As soon as he entered the study, Sheriff Xu asked the housekeeper to study ink. He wanted a letter to be delivered to Prime Minister Zuo.
He couldn't deal with Lu Jiuzhang, but maybe Prime Minister Zuo could.
This matter can only be turned to Prime Minister Zuo.
"master!"
The boy carried a lot of valuable gifts to Sheriff Xu's study.
"What to do with these things?"
the boy asked.
"Send it to Qianji Tower tomorrow and sell it all in exchange for money." Sheriff Xu ordered, "These days, no matter how much stuff you have, it's not as good as money."
The boys nodded.
Xu Junshou continued to write letters.
This letter was sent to Jingzhao Mansion via expedited service.
And on the way, he was stopped by someone.
Prime Minister Zuo is not in Jingzhao Mansion, so it is useless to send this letter to Jingzhao Mansion.
At this time, Prime Minister Zuo, the new emperor and all the officials were in Jibei County.
Because there were so many people traveling with us, the speed was very slow.
It is estimated that it will take ten and a half days to reach Beilu County.
The letter was delivered to Prime Minister Zuo's account.
Just one glance made Prime Minister Zuo feel a little angry.
Does Sheriff Xu really think he is a person?
In his position as a county magistrate, he is just a tool man.
Why can’t I clearly recognize my position?
It seems that it is necessary for him to correct his attitude.
After that, Prime Minister Zuo called his servant and asked him to bring a message to Commander Xu.
The content of the words was nothing more than to make Sheriff Xu understand his identity.
His county governor was a county governor in name only.
And his end was basically death.
I thought Sheriff Naxu could sharpen Lu Jiuzhang.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an idiot.
Can such a stupid person fight against Master Xu's disciple Lu Jiuzhang?
Disaster!
Prime Minister Zuo became increasingly disillusioned.
The most likely possibility for Sheriff Xu is to die in Lu Jiuzhang's hands, it's just a matter of time.
Such people make Prime Minister Zuo disgusted!
I don’t know how he became a prefect before.
I guess I bought it with money!
This is the only possibility!
No one with any brain would do such a stupid thing.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo, your Majesty has invited you!"
Outside the tent, the voice of the eunuch from the palace suddenly came.
Prime Minister Zuo told his servant to do it quickly, then he tidied up his clothes and went to the tent where the new emperor was.
The tents here are different from those used during marches and wars. They are called tents but they are actually magic weapons.
The space can be quickly expanded to cover several acres of land.
The interior is luxurious and filled with rare treasures, just like a small palace.
As for Prime Minister Zuo's tent, it's not that bad either. Although it's not as big as the new emperor's, the furnishings inside are also extremely perfect.
Most of the accompanying officials were protected by experts.
The bearer's magic weapon.
It is said that only Master Xu lives in a minimalist tent.
Prime Minister Zuo still admired Master Xu very much, but he had different political views and could not get along with him, so he could only avoid dealing with him everywhere.
Arriving at the new emperor's hall, sure enough, Master Xu was still standing next to the new emperor.
Prime Minister Zuo knelt on the ground and said, "See Your Majesty!"
"Mr. Zuo, get up quickly. Someone is coming and I will give you a seat."
The new emperor said.
Prime Minister Zuo is one round older than Master Xu.
Most of the people who can sit in this seat in the court are already very old.
"The purpose of inviting Zuo Xiang here this time is to discuss a major matter." The new emperor said, "I have received news that people from the three sects have been somewhat dishonest recently."
Nearly a thousand years ago, the world was dominated by these sects.
Small sects surrender to the big sects, and above the big sects there are first-class sects.
These first-class sects govern hundreds of millions of miles of land and have a population of hundreds of millions.
Set up strongholds at every important traffic artery, with sect disciples in charge.
Then, the sect collapsed, and a strong man rose up, forcibly created a dynasty, and suppressed the sect.
Then, the dynasty fell, and various large and small forces were separated.
Then, the first ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty rose up, established a huge court, and still suppressed the sect.
Don’t the people of these sects want to restore the situation thousands of years ago and unify the world by themselves?
"What's Master Xu's opinion?"
Prime Minister Zuo looked at the great scholar Xu Shi.
Years of experience in court have made him extremely sophisticated, and he rarely expresses his opinions first.
"The main thing is to see what Prime Minister Zuo means." Master Xu was not fooled and threw the question back, "Prime Minister Zuo has been in the court for many years and has dealt with the sect. He is much more familiar with it than I am."
