Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be a high-ranking official, especially a high-ranking official with no foundation.  Under Wang Sheng's arrangement, Ning Caichen became the prefect of Jinhua like Wang Sheng through the power of the national advisor who disrupted the government, but this does not mean that he is exactly the same as Wang Sheng.  "I am so high up that even the common people in Jinhua City look at me strangely, not to mention the other gentry and officials. The upright ones despise me and the insidious ones insult me ??because I have no foundation. Even those who are least involved in the struggle for power.  The celebrities are also keeping a distance from me for the sake of their own feathers - Mr. Lin, how much power do you think I have?" Lin Mo frowned: "Didn't Wang Sheng take you to visit many places?  Are you a good friend? Can't those senior officials give you some help?" Ning Caichen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Birds of a feather flock together, and you can tell what kind of person a teacher's friend is, just by looking at that ridiculous order from the teacher.  Not only did the teacher angrily write a memorial to refute it, but the elders also made similar moves. Some of them were impulsive and even went to Beijing to refute it in person in the morning. "When Lin Mo heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows: "So they.  Was he dismissed from office?" Ning Caichen nodded: "Yes. The only exception was the old man who had refuted it in front of the emperor earlier. Not only was he dismissed from office, he was also charged with disrespecting His Majesty and was beheaded on the spot.  His family members were not spared, and were all thrown into prison. "So the next situation can be foreseen.  Without the support and protection of these senior officials, how much prestige would Ning Caichen, a guy who had gained an unjust position, have?  How much real power can it have?  Look at the situation when you entered the door just now.  When I saw the government officials who were guarding the magistrate's office, they didn't have much respect for the magistrate!  The current Ning Caichen is just a guy who bears the title of magistrate but has no power!  To put it bluntly, it¡¯s just an embroidered pillow, it just looks good!  Even all government affairs within Jinhua City are handled directly by the officials in charge of various departments, and it is not his turn to take action at all.  The documents and files on the stone table had no intention of asking for instructions at all, they were just notifications!  "Be content, that's good." Zhang Liang rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "If you can become a magistrate at this age, it will be enough to honor your ancestors. Even if you die in the future, you will be left with a fortune.  "Isn't it better than us merchants?" Ning Caichen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to be famous. It's just a pity.  But there is nothing to show for it!" When he said this, Ning Caichen's face was filled with pain, and a look of deep sorrow flashed in his weather-beaten eyes.  Not only did Zhang Liang, who wanted to comfort him, shut up, but Lin Mo's heart moved and he blurted out: "There will be a chance!" Ning Caichen was stunned: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?" "What do you mean?"  Don't worry." Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, you will have a chance to show off your skills in the future." Cleaning up the world is a big project, and no matter how much Lin Mo knows about learning, his job is still a matter of practice.  It is okay to slay demons, but to truly govern the secular world, you will definitely be blind. Professional matters still require professional talents.  So if everything goes well, Ning Caichen might be of great use.  But there is no need to elaborate on this matter now. After Lin Mo simply excused it, he turned to ask about other situations.  Ning Caichen seemed to be intending to use the visit of his old friend to dissipate his sadness. He stopped mentioning his sadness and started chatting instead.  In this way, the three of them talked loudly, and soon in the evening, Ning Caichen led the two of them to leave the prefect's office and return home.  Unlike Wang Sheng¡¯s vast home, Xu Xian¡¯s residence was very shabby, a small courtyard in an ordinary alley.  No, looking at the size, describing it as a yard is an exaggeration. It should be said to be a tile-roofed house with a small front yard.  When Lin Mo saw this situation, he immediately shook his head at Ning Caichen's situation in his heart: "This is not about being unable to control the power of the prefect, it is simply being despised."  As the highest official in a place, the prefect has many ways to get what he wants. Many times, he does not need to say anything, others will naturally give it to him. For example, the big house before Wang Sheng was there when he took office. Many officials in Jinhua  It is said that the gift they jointly gave was sold by a wealthy businessman who was in decline and wanted to develop his hometown, so he sold it urgently at an extremely low price. It was not worth much at all - this was of course just a superficial statement, but it was  This is a result that both parties are happy to see.  As for Ning Caichen's small tile-roofed house, he probably spent his own money to find and buy it.  In fact, the situation was worse than Lin Mo thought: this tile-roofed house was not bought by Ning Caichen.It turns out that he rented this house with his own salary. He has no money to buy a house now!  After learning about this situation, Lin Mo immediately wanted to use the Midas touch to improve Ning Caichen's life.  But he was rejected by Ning Caichen: "Mr. Lin, although my life is poor and I have a lot of hardships, they are all good things that I should experience and can sharpen my mind. I believe that only in this way will I be able to succeed in the future."  Only then can I use what I have learned to serve my family and country!" After hearing this, Lin Mo was so impressed that he never mentioned it again.  So the three of them chatted for a while and then separated: Ning Caichen's tile-roofed house only had one wooden bed, so three people couldn't live in it at the same time.  "Mr. Lin, let's go back to Jinbang Tower." After leaving Ning Caichen's house, Zhang Liang looked back with a sigh and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed." "No, you go back by yourself.  Well. I still have something to do." Zhang Liang blinked, a little confused about Lin Mo's rejection, but didn't ask any more and went back to where he was staying.  At this time, Lin Mo had already hidden his figure and soared into the sky, flying directly out of Jinhua and heading out into the mountains.  "We have almost learned about the worldly situation, and Ning Caichen's situation is also very clear. It's time to find out about the practitioners." Speaking of practitioners, it is still difficult to find them. After all, the whereabouts of practitioners are unpredictable.  However, to find out about practitioners, you don¡¯t necessarily need to find practitioners. You can also find monsters. As far as Lin Mo knows, there is a good target near Jinhua: the carp demon Hualong.  When he came to Jinhua earlier, because Zhang Liang was escorting some goods, the road he took was different from the road Lin Mo took when he went to Jinhua, so he could not see the carp demon.  After all, although Lin Mo had the intention to make a special trip to see Zhang Liang, he was worried that Zhang Liang would be attacked by some monster, so he did not take any action.  But now that Zhang Liang has arrived in Jinhua City, he doesn't need to worry so much. After all, a place like Jinhua City where tens of thousands of mortals gather is not a place where monsters can go just as they are told.  The place where Hualong is located is not far from Jinhua City. In just three or two minutes, Lin Mo arrived above this mountain forest.  He did not cover up at this moment and shouted directly in the air: "Is Fellow Taoist Hualong here? An old friend is visiting, please show up and see me!" A moment later, a voice was heard: "It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Lin." Before the voice fell, it was already  A figure soared into the sky from the forest and flew to the opposite side of Lin Mo. He cupped his hands and said, "Friend Lin Mo, long time no see. How are you?" Long time no see, Hua Long has not changed much.  It's still the burly figure, still the huge fish head, the only difference is that the fish whiskers near the mouth of the fish have changed from pale gold to pure gold, which makes it quite extraordinary to float around.  "It's gratifying that fellow Taoist Hua has improved in his cultivation." The carp demon Hualong is following the path of bloodline refining. Any changes in the demon's body represent changes in its cultivation.  Compared with the early stage of god refining, Hualong now seems to have gone a step further and is already in the middle stage of god refining. He is only one step away from entering the late stage of god refining.  Hua Long was a little stunned when he heard this compliment: "Fellow Taoist Lin, please don't praise me. My cultivation is what makes my progress so fast. It is rare even among human practitioners." This is the truth.  When they first met, the two of them had similar cultivation levels and were both in the god-refining stage. However, when they met again two years later, Lin Mo was already in the god-transformation state, while Hualong was still in the god-refining state. Although Hualong was a demon with a long lifespan.  The reason is that it is impossible to advance too fast in cultivation, but Lin Mo's progress is really worthy of everyone's surprise.  But Lin Mo couldn't explain the reason, so he just hesitated and said, "Fellow Taoist, can you and I go down and discuss it in detail?" Hua Long knew it was okay, so he immediately said: "Please follow me." (Unfinished)  To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
