Zhou Xiaozhou was overwhelmed by the flattery.
But his official position can only be regarded as a false position. At most, it is equivalent to a guard, a thug, or a killer. He has no real power at all.
What's more, he's just a dick.
After Long Wei took control of Qianhu County, the chance of him being promoted to the leader of the Longtou Guard was very small. After all, he was too young and not professional enough. Even if there was another boss, he, the second best, wouldn't be able to do it.
Depending on what Long Yi wants, he will also be assigned to be a weapon refiner, possibly to the Ministry of Industry.
As for the specific arrangements, we have to go back to the Royal City to see the situation.
Therefore, he couldn't promise anything casually to others. He could only say that his foundation was still shallow and he would definitely think of his hometown people when he had the opportunity.
Some social activities are unavoidable, otherwise others will say you are arrogant.
Even if you know it's all fake, you still have to deal with it.
It's not easy to deal with it, and it's easy to offend people.
The next day, some people from well-established families came to visit, asking about the affairs of the court, asking who was still in office, what was the situation, and to see if their family still had a chance to make a comeback.
As for matters in the court, the previous officials had basically not touched it. This was to stabilize the situation.
This also created the illusion that some officials thought that Long Yi did not dare to touch them and his arrogance was rising.
When Long Yi comes back this time, he will definitely make big moves in the administration of officials, and he will inevitably kill many people.
It is actually better to hide at this time to avoid being implicated.
He couldn't tell anything about the specific situation, so he could only say: "I followed the king on an expedition to the Yamai Kingdom, and I don't know much about what happened in the court."
"It's good to achieve military merit. Mr. Zhou is so young and has military merit. He has a promising future..."
"No wonder Mr. Zhou can get a high position at such a young age. It turns out that he has military merit. Unfortunately, we are all literati and cannot wear armor and go into battle..."
"Since Mr. Zhou has obtained a high position, he must remember to support the people in his hometown."
People who really want to get a high position in the court really like to support people in their hometown. Firstly, they are kind to others and contribute to their hometown. Secondly, they are also a good helper in forming parties.
The township party is the easiest force to form gangs wherever it is.
In Qingshi County for so many years, no one has achieved a high position in the court. If there really is such a person, it is also a situation where one person can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. It can drive many people to wallow in the officialdom, so that one person will not be alone and will be squeezed out quickly.
If there is a person who can stand up in the court, it is not easy for him to be squeezed out. If he is squeezed out here, there will be space there.
After sending away these scholarly families, groups of businessmen came to invite banquets, and then many relatives came to congratulate her unexpectedly, even though the child had not been born yet.
The icing on the cake is the easiest.
As a businessman, you can't be from a scholarly family without asking for every meal. How can you be friends without meat and wine...
In fact, I wanted to see what kind of trend Wuhu Escort Agency would be, and I had already been robbed of escorts several times.
The situation has been chaotic recently and bandits are everywhere.
In the past, the bandits nearby were fake, but now there are real bandits, many of them.
Of course, the Jiuchongtian Escort Agency was also robbed.
Once the escort is lost, although the escort agency will compensate accordingly, the goods cannot be delivered on time, and the loss to the merchant is real. Losing money is based on cost price. Not only do merchants not make money, they also lose credibility, and both parties lose money.
The escort service needs to be stable so that everyone can have food to eat, so merchants will naturally choose a stable escort agency.
And that Mr. Qiao seems to have left Qingshi County.
Master Qiao Ba has already left, so naturally he can't hide it. Otherwise, how could he allow the loss of his bodyguard?
The bodyguard leader Ji on the opposite side was still furious and ran out to kill people. The bodyguards from Jiuchongtian Bodyguard Bureau were indeed much safer.
They naturally tend to choose the Jiuchongtian Escort Bureau. Unless they have a particularly good relationship with the Wuhu Escort Bureau, or the Jiuchongtian Escort Bureau is too busy, they will consider using the Wuhu Escort Agency. It may have been decades since Mr. Qiao Ba left, and his existence could be ignored, but now Zhou Xiaozhou has returned as a high official, so he can't offend him and has to find out the rumors.
It’s not easy to do some business. What’s important is being friendly and making money, and no one can be offended.
Zhou Xiaozhou still felt uncomfortable because Wuhu Escort Bureau was doing such a bad job. Not to mention that he was still known as an escort of Wuhu Escort Bureau, at least he was also a relative.
So, he went to Wuhu Escort Agency specifically.
Qiao Wo was indeed a little anxious.
Traveling as a dart turned into a battle, which was very difficult. We couldn’t afford to pay for the casualties!
Not only did they lose escorts continuously, but there were also a lot of casualties, and the escort agency suffered huge losses.
"Brother-in-law, you came just in time. Let's combine our swords and go kill the bandits together."
Qiao Woyu's sword was flying around in the escort office, with the sword still dancing in his hand, and he was furious.
"What's going on?"
"That's the one in Dafengling. He robbed us of our escorts four times. He was so ruthless that we killed and injured more than a dozen of us. He didn't let us go and chased him with all his might."
Bandits usually want money rather than life, and they will just run away if they run away, and they won't chase them.
To pursue him to the death is to have a grudge.
Zhou Xiaozhou is also familiar with Dafeng Ridge. He used to be nervous when there were no bandits. Now that bandits are really out, it is really not easy to get over.
"What's the opponent's strength?"
"There are dozens of people gathered. They are not talented people, but there are just a lot of people. They robbed the Jiuchongshan Escort Bureau last time, and Mr. Ji killed a few of them. They turned around and robbed us. Are you angry? people."
If you get angry there, you will get angry here.
This is a very ruthless approach.
Master Qiao Ba is gone, and there is no Tianjie to come out to swat the flies. Qiao Hao has been in seclusion, and Qiao Wo is too young. The bodyguards don't trust him very much, and they really can't organize a decent combat force.
"Are you sure they are just ordinary bandits?"
If they were just ordinary bandits and there were only a few dozen of them, Zhou Xiaozhou would dare to deal with them.
"They are indeed just ordinary bandits, they just rely on the number of people. Our two swords combined are enough to fight."
"I don't use a sword."
Open your mouth and shut your mouth with two swords. Who can use two swords with you?
"go together."
Qiao Xing came out with a sword, very neatly.
Qiao Wo said, "Auntie, didn't you refuse to let me go?"
"Aren't there three people?"
Two people are not safe, but three people are more practical.
The three men flew out of the escort office with swords, which was quite impressive.
It's already quite extraordinary for a small escort agency to produce three sword masters. The Jiuchongshan Escort Agency across the street doesn't have three sword masters yet.
Qiao Xing glanced at Zhou Xiaozhou and asked, "I heard that you became a high official?"
"It's okay, definitely bigger than the escort."
"How much bigger?"
"If you go back to the Ministry of Industry, you should be able to become a waiter."
If you don't work in the Longtouwei anymore, you can go to the Ministry of Industry. You can almost become a minister. It's possible that the left minister can't be the right minister.
He was an official as big as the old man of the Zuo family when Qiao Xing was in the royal city.
"Hey, bragging."
