Sign-in life from the county magistrate

Page 253

"This is Xiaozhou?" The people who were sent to Xiaozhou were stunned the moment they stepped into Xiaozhou. This place was very different from what they had imagined.

There was no ragged clothes, no starvation, no road robbery, no besieged by wicked people, etc. This was completely different from what they had heard.

What they saw was a scene full of enthusiasm, and everyone seemed to have a hopeful smile on their faces.Others can be faked, but this smile from the heart will not be faked.

He couldn't help but think of Master Chen Xing Chen's entrustment to them before leaving, and also think of Master Chen's evaluation of Master Shen, a minister who can govern the world!

Being able to transform Xiaozhou into such a shape in such a short period of time is a well-deserved evaluation.

It's just that Shen Yu, the so-called capable minister, is a little watery, and he piled it up purely with money.

After seeing Shen Yu, everyone was shocked again.Knowing that Shen Yu is young, but being so young is too much.

"I've met Mr. Shen. The next official is Qi Cheng'an, the newly appointed Prime Minister of the imperial court!"

"The next official is to judge Chu Hong!"

"The next official is the guerrilla general Teng Zihe!"

"Well, I got it!" I saw a lot of energetic faces, some were anxious, some were excited, and some were nervous.

Shen Yu smiled at them, and then said, "Since you have come to Xiaozhou, you should be prepared. I don't care about your goals and ideas. But there is only one thing, I want you to remember!"

"Being an official will benefit one side. I hope you can keep your feet on the ground and truly do things for the people. If anyone doesn't do anything, go back to where you came from."

"Also, if anyone dares to embezzle and accept bribes and oppress the common people, my sword will kill!"

"Cheng Lin, take them to meet other officials of the state government, and let them familiarize themselves with their respective responsibilities as soon as possible!"

"Yes, my lord!" Chong Shen Yu bowed slightly, and then Cheng Lin said, "Several, please follow me!"

"Master Shen, as the chief officer, it is against the rules to ask the black-clothed guard to take us to familiarize ourselves with the affairs?"

At this moment, Tong Juan Chu Hong spoke suddenly, and the moment he opened his mouth, the people next to him were terrified.

"I still have something to do. Cheng Lin is familiar with this place, so it's best for him to take you there!"

"Master Shen, but this is against the rules!" Seeing this, Chu Hong spoke again.

At this moment, he could clearly feel Shen Yu's attitude towards them, completely ignoring them, and to put it even worse, not taking them seriously at all.

Chu Hongneng occupies a high position at a young age. He is not from a family, let alone a prominent one, but he has climbed up to the present step by step, so he naturally has his arrogance.

Thinking that he has gone through the imperial examination with thousands of troops and horses, and he has achieved his current status with a little bit of hard work. He was sent to Xiaozhou in the end, and he was wronged.

This broken place, looking at the entire dynasty, who would want to come here.That's why he dared to volunteer, eager to do something for this place.

In the end, he hadn't taken office yet, and as soon as this master Shen came up, he gave them a face, obviously trying to beat them.

Chu Hong couldn't understand such so-called common sense in officialdom.

He didn't expect that Master Shen Yushen, whom he regarded as his idol, would be like an old man in the officialdom, and he couldn't help but feel passionate after being greatly disappointed.

"Hurry up and shut up!" The two people next to him hurriedly stopped him, Qi Chengan and Teng Zihe.

"My lord, he is still young and doesn't know the rules!"

Hearing Chu Hong's words, they were about to shed cold sweat.You want to die so badly, don't drag everyone together.

Chu Hong didn't fit in with them, and they could only be regarded as acquaintances before.As children of aristocratic families, they will not despise these people from poor families, but they will not be too eager.

In particular, Chu Hong seemed to have a bad temper and a tough temper. They had tried to woo him a few times before but they hadn't pulled it, so they gave up, so how could they mention him.

Who would have thought that he would dare to say such a thing as soon as he came.

Chu Hong is just a frail scholar with only a few skills to strengthen his body, and he has only a half-knowledge about the affairs of the world.

He only knew that Shen Yu's strength and status were very high, but he didn't know exactly how high he was, but Qi Chengan and Teng Zihe knew it.

Qi Chengan is the legitimate son of the Qi family of the eight great families in the world, and Teng Zihe is the youngest son of the great general of Zhenhai. Does it sound like they are of high authority and no one dares to mess with them?

If they were facing other people in the court, then everyone would naturally follow the rules, and they wouldn't be so nervous.

But if they are facing this master, they must be more careful.

They are very clear that when people's strength exceeds a certain level, it has never been that they adapt to the rules, but that the rules have to be changed according to their needs.

If this offends this master, don't say it's a failure.Even if someone kills them all, you see whether the court will pay attention to it.

The imperial court will definitely quickly collect a lot of criminal evidence to prove that they deserve to be killed, even if they are as innocent as water, the imperial court will definitely make them look like a bunch of corrupt officials.

In the high-level game, the bottom people should never get involved.If people move their mouths a little, their little arms and legs can't bear it, and their death will be in vain.

"Cheng Lin, take them around!"

"It's an adult!"

"This Chu Hong is quite interesting, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!"

Chapter 497 You are going to float

"My lords, this is the mansion arranged for you. Xiaozhou is barren. I hope you don't dislike it!"

"How can we dislike what Mr. Cheng said? To be honest, this is much better than we imagined!"

Following Cheng Lin, Qi Chengan was obviously more aggressive among the group of people. Even in front of Cheng Lin, the deputy commander of the black-clothed guards, he was still neither humble nor overbearing, and his advances and retreats were well-founded.

The mansion in front of me is said to be a mansion, but it is actually a large courtyard, and the environment is even more dirty.In some places, even the roof is broken.

Regarding the arrival of these people, although Shen Yu didn't care at all and didn't make any arrangements.

But the leader didn't care, but the people under him couldn't ignore it. It was a routine operation for Mr. Shen to show them off.They have to let them know who is in charge of Xiaozhou.

Others frowned and looked disgusted after seeing such a situation.Among them, Teng Zihe, the eldest son of Lord Zhennan, even wrote my unhappiness directly on his face.

Among these people, only Qi Chengan and Chu Hong looked calm.

Chu Hong is a child of a poor family. He grew up suffering from hardships and has been trained for a long time. Moreover, when he came, he was ready to endure hardships and even die.

The current changes in Xiaozhou, even the upper echelons of the court are only skeptical, not sure, not to mention Chu Hong, who has almost no foundation and has no news at all.

Before he came, he didn't even know that Xiaozhou had changed.When he knew that he was going to work in Xiaozhou, he was really ready to risk his life.

Not only was the coffin prepared, but the suicide note was written in advance, and then he came to the post with a determined face in the wind.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xiaozhou, the rumored state of crime, would undergo such earth-shaking changes. It's a little bit reluctant to say that the road does not pick up lost things, but it definitely surpasses many places.

For him, the current environment is really much stronger than he imagined, so he can accept it with a calm face.

But Qi Chengan was different, a scion from an aristocratic family, well-clothed and well-fed, had never suffered hardships or sins.

In the face of these deliberately making things difficult, he still looked calm and talked and laughed happily.

The children carefully cultivated by these aristocratic families really have their merits, and they should not be underestimated.

Even Cheng Lin couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then said appreciatively, "Lord Qi, there aren't many people like you these days!"

"Master Cheng, you're being polite, just call me Chengan!"

Bowing slightly to Cheng Lin, Qi Chengan then bowed respectfully, "Master Cheng, what do you think of Master Shen? We will work under Master Shen in the future, and I hope Master Cheng can give you some advice!"

"Master Shen loves the people like a child, treats others like a spring breeze, and treats us with more tolerance."

Looking at the people with different faces, Cheng Lin said with a smile, "Master Shen has a good temper, so you can rest assured."

"As long as you can keep the bottom line, don't be greedy or take possession, and don't bully the people, Mr. Shen will be absolutely tolerant of you."

"Really? It seems that Mr. Cheng thinks highly of Mr. Shen, and you respect him a lot!"

"Yes!" Subconsciously nodded, Cheng Lin also said with emotion, "Master Shen, I can only look up to him, let alone hope to catch up with him!"

"It's a great fortune to be able to follow Master Shen!"

Cheng Lin wasn't just talking about it, it had only been a little over a year since he had been with Shen Yu, and his realm had already begun to loosen.

It won't be long before Cheng Lin is confident that he can step into the realm of transformation and achieve a realm that was unimaginable before.

Once in the realm of transformation, no matter in the world or in the court, he will be a big boss.

At that time, both his power and status will undergo a leap-like change, and he will have everything that he could not have imagined before.

And Cheng Lin knew very well who brought all of this to him, so he naturally became more respectful when facing Shen Yu.

This means that he is not a daughter. If he were a charming woman, he would have recommended himself as a pillow.There is no such thing as restraint!

"It seems that Master Cheng is indeed very loyal to Master Shen!" Looking at Cheng Lin, Qi Chengan smiled inexplicably.

Then when the others were looking for their own room, Qi Chengan quietly came to Cheng Lin's side, with a brighter smile on his face.

"Master Cheng, please find a more secluded place. I have something here that I want Master Cheng to take a look at!"

"Master Qi, what do you mean?"

Casting a glance at Qi Chengan, Cheng Lin's face was full of disdain, "The commander is sitting upright. Is there anything I can't let others see, and I still need to find a place to hide?"

How could he not know what the children of these aristocratic families were thinking, and wanted to bribe him, what a beautiful idea!

Just now he withdrew his evaluation of Qi Chengan, and this little boy is at this level.

"Master Cheng, I advise you to take a look!" While talking to Cheng Lin with a smile, Qi Chengan quietly took out something from his bosom.

As soon as a corner of this thing appeared, Cheng Lin had a judgment.The golden one should be made of gold, and the fine lines engraved on it look like the handwriting of a famous artist, and it is definitely worth a lot.

But such a thing, Cheng Lin didn't even want to look at it.

Why, you don't want to ask who this commander is, you can bribe him with a piece of crap.

Your Uncle Cheng is upright, honest and upright. He is different from those hypocrites. You can't bribe him.

Even if you put up mountains of gold and silver, Uncle Cheng will still smile slightly, and will not be tempted!

But when the whole thing was revealed, Cheng Lin glanced subconsciously, and then his expression changed slightly.

"you……"

"Why, isn't Lord Cheng willing to find a hidden place?"

"Here, Lord Qi, please follow me!"

The strange expression on his face quickly disappeared, and Cheng Lin quickly returned to his previous calm, at least on the surface, there was no difference at all.

It's just that at this time, his heart was already overwhelmed, and he even became a little nervous.

On the pretext of asking Qi Chengan, the governor of the state, to get acquainted with Xiaozhou, Cheng Lin put the others down, and brought Qi Chengan to a hidden place alone.

As a black-clothed guard, it is absolutely a basic operation to prepare yourself a sufficiently concealed and safe place in a brand new environment.

Here, Cheng Lin is completely confident that no one can monitor him, and he can let go of his guard.

As soon as he arrived, Cheng Lin immediately knelt down on the ground and said respectfully, "Cheng Lin, the deputy commander of the low-ranking black-clothed guards, has met the imperial envoy!"

"Cheng Lin, Master Cheng!" Standing where he was, Qi Chengan looked at him coldly, and in his hand was a gold engraved token.

"I thought Mr. Cheng had forgotten who he was?"

"I just want to ask Commander Cheng, is the black-clothed guard in Xiaozhou His Majesty's black-clothed guard, or his Shen Yu's black-clothed guard?"

"The guards in black are naturally swearing their allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

Kneeling on the ground, Cheng Lin didn't raise his head, but shouted extremely resolutely, "Your loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can prove it!"

"Really?" The cold gaze seemed to penetrate Cheng Lin, Qi Chengan withdrew the token, and said indifferently, "But how do I feel, you have more respect for Shen Yu?"

"Lord Qi, there is no conflict between being humble and loyal to His Majesty and respecting Lord Shen. Could it be that Lord Qi wants to provoke the relationship between His Majesty and Lord Shen?"

"You, good, good! Master Cheng is right, the two don't conflict!"

"It's just Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng, the purpose of His Majesty asking you to come to Xiaozhou, you will not forget it?"

"Your Majesty's order, I dare not forget for a moment!"

"Master Cheng, did your investigation come to fruition?"

"no!"

"No?" Without you speaking so confidently, you are going to float!

Chapter 498 Putting It Right

"Master Cheng, it has been more than a year. Could it be that Master Cheng has gained nothing?"

Speaking of this, Qi Chengan's voice couldn't help but become a lot higher and colder.

However, Qi Chengan did not provoke Cheng Lin too much.He knew very well that he was the deputy commander of the black guard, with a high position and authority, but he didn't fear him at all.
