Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 37 Long-planned
I don't know how long I slept for.
Lu Jiuzhang woke up because he heard someone shouting in his ear.
Opening his sleepy eyes, Lu Jiuzhang found Wang Yunshan standing next to him.
"Brother Lu, why are you sleeping here?"
Wang Yunshan asked.
???
What's the meaning?
I have been sleeping for a long time, did Wang Yunshan just find out?
I guess I just rolled the dice and gambled, so I got into it and didn't care too much about the outside world.
"Brother Wang, is something wrong?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked in confusion.
"Director Chen is looking for you."
Wang Yunshan said.
Director Chen? Chen Xuanfeng?
What is he doing with me?
Lu Jiuzhang was a little confused.
"Why is Director Chen looking for me?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"How do I know this?" Wang Yunshan shook his head, "By the way, you go quickly. Go early and come back early. After work, I will take you to Yihongyuan to have fun. I kept losing in the morning and started winning in the afternoon... Hehe...
…”
Wang Yunshan laughed and said.
Judging from the look on his face, he must have won a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy.
"OK!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, went to the pond to wipe his face, and then went to the backyard where Director Chen's office was.
On the way, Lu Jiuzhang wiped the water on his face with his clothes and straightened his clothes before stepping into the backyard.
At this time, Chen Xuanfeng was not working, but standing in the backyard, looking at the sunset in the distance.
Lu Jiuzhang also looked over. Under the setting sun, the sky was full of sunset.
The morning glow does not go out, but the sunset glow travels thousands of miles. It seems that the weather should be good tomorrow.
I slept for a really long time this time.
After another day of decadence, Lu Jiuzhang sighed secretly, and then walked to Chen Xuanfeng's side, "Director Chen!"
"Well, here we come!"
Chen Xuanfeng nodded, but did not turn around to face Lu Jiuzhang, but still turned his back, "I heard that you have entered the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism?"
"Yes, actually, I already joined the Demon Slayer Division before joining it."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Why not report it to the county government?"
Chen Xuanfeng asked.
"I didn't know this before."
This was the first time Lu Jiuzhang heard about the need to report. He had never heard of it before.
"It is a law of the Zhou Dynasty that all monks who have entered the rank must be registered." Chen Xuanfeng said, "Xia uses martial arts to disrupt the ban. When he is strong, he will have the ability to harm one party."
"If it is not controlled, it can easily lead to big chaos."
This statement is reasonable, but Lu Jiuzhang feels that there may be a deeper reason.
If the monks who have entered the first rank are not controlled, they may have to worry about their pilgrimage.
When these high-ranking monks are drawn together, it is easy to form a large force that threatens the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Why have I never discovered that you have entered the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism?"
Chen Xuanfeng, who had been turning his back to Lu Jiuzhang, slowly turned around and stared at Lu Jiuzhang.
His eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through Lu Jiuzhang's true intentions.
"Mr. Lu, people always have to have some secrets of their own."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled.
"So, you also killed the fox demon before?"
The next moment, Chen Xuanfeng asked forcefully.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiuzhang found it a little difficult to explain.
Recalling Zhou Cheng's words that day, since there is a secret, he should do everything he can to hide his secret. No matter how many excuses there are, he should find a way to make them as reasonable as possible.
When Yuan Wufeng, another deputy director-general, pressed him for questioning that day, Lu Jiuzhang could still evade it.
Now that Lu Jiuzhang has exposed the strength of the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism, how can he evade it?
What exploded was a strike from the fifth level of Confucianism and Taoism.
Although it was borrowed from Kuixing Tower to burst out, it was also the power of the fifth level of Confucianism and Taoism.
Without a reasonable excuse, how can one prove that the fox demon's death has nothing to do with him?
"No, actually I am also confused about the fox demon's death."
Lu Jiuzhang could only deny it flatly, "On that day, there was not only one man in black, but also another man in white robe, with his hair tied and wearing a crown. He had a sword on his waist and was surrounded by auspicious clouds."
"Just taking one step, all kinds of saintly words sounded around me."
Lu Jiuzhang lied casually, "But I don't know why, only I can see that person, and Lord Zhou Cheng can't seem to see anything."
"Why wasn't this reported?" Chen Xuanfeng asked.
"Sir, if it's not because my subordinates didn't report it, it's too bizarre. I think I might be hallucinating." Lu Jiuzhang said.
"If you are in the fifth rank of Confucianism and Taoism, you already have a certain ability to express the Dharma. If your cultivation is too far beyond Zhou Cheng, it is possible that Zhou Cheng will not be able to discover it."
Chen Xuanfeng murmured to himself, then turned his back to Lu Jiuzhang.
"Do you know the identity of the woman in black?"
Chen Xuanfeng asked.
"I don't know, the woman in black is also very powerful, but my subordinates don't know her."
Lu Jiuzhang continued to deny.
"Haha...are you really not aware of it or are you pretending not to be aware of it? That woman should be Miss Mu Yun, the former oiran of Yihong Courtyard, right?"
Chen Xuanfeng sneered.
He seemed to know everything by heart.
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Lu Jiuzhang's forehead, and he began to worry about whether the previous excuse could be used to hide Chen Xuanfeng's information.
"This matter is settled. You will be rewarded by the Demon Slayer Division for entering the ninth rank of Confucianism and Taoism. It is the same as entering the ninth rank of Martial Arts. You will be rewarded two hundred taels of silver." Chen Xuanfeng said, "The role of the ninth rank of Confucianism and Taoism in the Demon Slayer Division is
If you are above the ninth level of martial arts, you should be given the position of Demon Slayer Guard."
"But you are young after all, and Director Zhong has not returned yet, so I can't make a decision. You should stay in the position of a handyman for a while first. The salary is the same as that of the Demon-Slaying Guard, fifteen taels of silver per month, plus three taels.
A subsidy of silver.”
Chen Xuanfeng said.
This was to force Lu Jiuzhang down.
If Lu Jiuzhang could become a demon-slaying guard, he would be considered to have an official position.
When the county magistrate wants to deal with Lu Jiuzhang, he must also consider the impact.
After all, the Demon Slayer Division cannot be bullied by others.
But if you have always been a handyman, it doesn't matter.
The handymen are not part of the Demon Slayer Department's establishment, so they are considered non-staff members.
If you want to become an official member of the Demon Slayer Division, you must be qualified. This is a mandatory requirement.
So, when Chen Xuanfeng called Lu Jiuzhang this time, did he still want to suppress himself?
In other words, he has reached a cooperation with the county magistrate to deal with him together.
"By the way..." When he was about to leave, Chen Xuanfeng said to Lu Jiuzhang, "Trails of monsters were found a hundred kilometers west of the city, and there will be a monster-suppression operation tomorrow."
"The monster is not strong, so Zhou Cheng and you can lead the team."
After saying these words, Chen Xuanfeng waved his hand, indicating that Lu Jiuzhang could leave.
Will there be another monster tomorrow?
Is this a coincidence or a long-planned plan?
No matter what the situation was, Lu Jiuzhang could not take it lightly.
Fortunately, we had previously reached a cooperation with Mr. Zhao from Qianji Tower, and a guard with eighth-level martial arts was left behind.
Otherwise, this level will probably be a bit difficult tomorrow. This chapter has been completed!
