In the afternoon, the old shopkeeper walked towards the state government office with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Liu, what do you want to do when you come to the Yamen of Prefecture?" A Yamen official on duty asked eagerly after seeing Shopkeeper Liu.
In the entire Qingzhou Prefecture, you don¡¯t have to know who the Lord of the Prefecture is, but you must know Shopkeeper Liu on the first floor, because the boss on the first floor achieved magical powers at a young age and is a famous magical power user in the world. Shopkeeper Liu takes the place of that one. The person in charge of the first floor is equal to that person's face.
Shopkeeper Liu took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the soldier: "I want to see the master of the state government. Please pass it on."
The soldier took the money with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, old man. I will pass it on to you right now."
Shopkeeper Liu didn¡¯t have to wait long before the soldier came back and said, ¡°Your Excellency, please come in.¡±
Walking into the yamen of the state government, I came to the back study, where the master of the state government was sitting to review and approve documents. When he saw shopkeeper Liu coming in, he smiled and stood up: "shopkeeper Liu, please come in quickly."
"Thank you, sir." Shopkeeper Liu sat down, and the governor ordered someone to bring tea.
"The shopkeeper is here, could it be that I wanted to borrow money the day before yesterday?" The state government looked at shopkeeper Liu with a smile on his face.
Shopkeeper Liu's expression remained unchanged: "Sir, this can't happen. Not only am I not here to agree to the loan, but I am here to collect debts."
"Oh, what do you mean?" The governor's face was serious.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, today we received a message from our boss. If our boss wants to collect the world's rare treasures and immortal wealth, he needs to consume a lot of gold, silver and yellow and white things. Please allow me, sir. Don't call it difficult for me, an old man. To be honest, It's really uncomfortable for me to be caught between my lord and my boss. It's hard to do justice, but to be honest, I don't dare to disobey my boss's orders at all. If I offend the government, I might still have a chance to survive. If you offend your boss, that villain will die."
I heard shopkeeper Liu¡¯s ¡°sincere and heartbreaking words.¡± The Lord of the Prefecture sighed: "It's not like you don't know what's going on in our Qingzhou Prefecture. How can I give you any money? I can't even get a cent out of it now."
Shopkeeper Liu touched his chin, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes: "To be honest with you, my lord, originally, my lord was not prepared to collect the debt so soon. But my lord was wronged in Shangjing and offended a powerful man, so he had to collect The treasures of heaven and earth are here to speed up your cultivation and save your life.¡±
Hearing this, the state government was shocked: "What's going on? Chen Jiu was recommended to Shangjing by me. If anything happens, I'm bound to do it."
"Oh,,, forget it, sir, go and find out for yourself. I know that the state government can't get out the money, but I don't dare to go against my boss's words. How about this? There may be some rare materials in the state government's treasury. , I will go and see if there is any payment for what my lord needs. If there is, then change it into money. To be honest, that batch of silver was divided among the thirteen state capitals at that time. My lord should go to the other thirteen state capitals. The only thing is to share the responsibility, and no matter how difficult it is, we must search out the rare materials in his treasury, synthesize the price, and use it to offset the debt."
The Lord of the Prefecture gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just go to the treasury and take a look. As long as there are materials that suit that kid, you can just take them. You're welcome."
To be honest, this treasury belongs to the imperial court, so even if all of it is taken away, the governor won¡¯t feel bad, but this gesture must be done enough.
Seeing the old shopkeeper walking out of the yard, the governor said to a guard outside: "Go and find out what happened in Shangjing. Also, inform the other governors to use all the real materials to pay off the debt. You can't ask me for this money." One pays it back¡±.
Not long after, the guard came in with a message: "Sir, this is the message from Beijing."
Lord Prefecture opened the envelope. As time went by, his face became darker and darker. He suddenly slammed the table: "Asshole, An dares to be so rampant. The grand master deserves to die. If you don't kill him, it's hard to relieve the hatred in my heart. Immediately Pass this information to the Thirteen Prefectures, and everyone will read the Grand Master's book together. Playing with power and putting human lives at risk is really lawless and cannot be tolerated by our Confucianism."
With this information sent to the Thirteen Prefectures, a month later all the Thirteen Prefectures reported to the Grand Master, causing huge waves in the capital.
Looking at the treasures and some materials in front of him, Chen Jiu smiled. This time he just took the opportunity to cause some trouble for the Grand Master, and then searched for some real materials for ancient altars from the Thirteen Prefectures. Where are the good things in this world? , needless to say, are all in the hands of the imperial court, and with the deliberate guidance of the old shopkeeper, the Lord of the Prefecture must have worked hard for his own materials.
? Collecting some good materials, Chen Jiu put themHe pushed the treasures to the old shopkeeper: "These are of no use to my cultivation. Let's see if anyone needs them. If not, just go and exchange them for the treasures."
After a lot of work, the sky had turned dark, and the old shopkeeper was talking to Chen Jiu. Suddenly, Chen Jiu's eyes lit up, and Chao Xiaoyu, dressed in men's clothing, appeared in Chen Jiu's eyes.
"Little fisherman, you are back," Chen Jiu said happily.
Chao Xiaoyu suddenly saw Chen Jiu, his eyes flashed with joy: "Why are you back?".
Chen Jiu laughed loudly: "I couldn't stand the imperial court's arrogance, so I came back directly. I can naturally stand at the top of the world by practicing martial arts. Why should I be an official and delay my martial arts practice in vain?"
Chao Xiao Yusu turned his face to the sky and suddenly smiled: "I knew you couldn't stand the twists and turns in the imperial court, but I didn't expect that your speed exceeded my expectations and you came back so quickly."
Seeing Chen Jiu and Chao Xiaoyu chatting animatedly, the old shopkeeper packed his things and went out.
Chao Xiaoyu sat on the stone bench next to Chen Jiu, then looked at the sky outside: "It's good to come back. It's better to come back early than late."
Chen Jiu looked at Chao Xiaoyu: "Master's cultivation has improved recently."
Chao Xiaoyu did not hide it, nodded, and said with joy: "The Huntian Ling you gave me is an innate treasure. It has a lot of innate energy and the mark of the great road. It will come naturally if you are diligent, but your cultivation is It looks like he has become stronger, but he has not broken through the realm. Instead, his whole body is restrained, which is really puzzling."
Chen Jiu touched his nose. In the past, Chen Jiu made breakthroughs in martial arts cultivation, but now he breaks through in the way of creation and heaven. Although the two are in the same realm, they are not the same.
"Tell me about going to Beijing." Chao Xiaoyu looked at Chen Jiu, his eyes like black grapes.
Chen Jiujiang talked about the process of going to Beijing and smiled at Xiaoyu: "This kind of thing is common in officialdom. This is not like a duel between warriors, but crushing with absolute force. These are two different rules. ".
Chen Jiu was silent for a while after hearing this, then shook his head: "That's wrong. The two are the same, but everyone has gone the wrong way. The stronger has always been respected, and whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak." .
When Chao Xiaoyu heard this, he glanced at Chen Jiu and waited for Chen Jiu to explain.
"The strongest person in the world is often the Human Emperor. Because the Human Emperor controls this endless army and can conquer all the warriors in the world, so no one dares to disobey what the Human Emperor says. What the Human Emperor says is the rule. The Human Emperor is the strongest, so everyone must act according to the strong man's style and instructions."
"The emperor has made the rules of the court. I can't resist the emperor because his fist is bigger than mine, so I have to follow his rules. If one day my fist can surpass his, then he will have to follow my rules. Come and play." As he said this, Chen Jiu's eyes shone brightly, as if he saw the essence of being an official.
Chao Xiaoyu pondered for a while after listening to Chen Jiu's words, and then nodded Chen Jiu's forehead: "I don't know what you are thinking, but there are so many twists and turns, the rule and hegemony of a court, you said That makes a lot of sense.
After finishing speaking, he retracted his finger towards Xiaoyu and said, "Have you ever seen Xiaoyu in Shangjing?"
Chen Jiuyi sighed: "It's too big to go to Beijing. I originally wanted to wait until I won the first prize in the exam. Once I became famous, it would be easy to find someone. Unexpectedly, something like this happened. It was really beyond my expectation." (To be continued)
