The so-called "go to the Three Treasures Hall without any problem" was indeed correct. This master couldn't wait to find him so early in the morning. Something big must have happened.
But I didn't expect that the person who had the accident was actually the county magistrate.
"what is going on?"
Chen Yun didn't want to take care of it, but it was still necessary to understand what it was like.
Hearing the commotion here, Old Man Zuo also came over. Miss Ninth poured him a bowl of water, and then listened to the Master talk about what happened last night.
"How could this be?"
As soon as he finished listening, Old Man Zuo found it incredible: "So from ancient times to the present, there have never been many monsters who dared to murder high-ranking imperial officials!
The destiny of a high-ranking court official is integrated and connected with the destiny of the country. How can it be planned by mere monsters?
If this monster really had such ability, how could he be suppressed for so many years by the official power of a mere county government? "
The master said with a mournful face: "But the name of the county magistrate is clearly on the marriage certificate, and the female ghost came to see the county magistrate twice last night!"
Old Man Zuo thought for a while, and then spoke first to set the tone for Chen Yun, rejecting the master who asked them to help.
"Master, please reply to the county magistrate. My Zuo Yun is no longer the deputy chief of the yamen, and this matter is no longer our responsibility!
What's more, Zuo Yun is just a martial arts practitioner, not a monk, and he has no ability to deal with such monsters and ghosts!
Master, please come back! "
The master was mentally prepared for the fact that his request for help this time was not going well. After all, he had ridiculed people during the day yesterday, then drove them away, and now he came to ask for help. Obviously, wasn't this a door-to-door request for help?
People are still happy to sit on the sidelines and wait for something to happen to you, so that the next county magistrate may take him more seriously!
This is what he understands about human nature, so during his trip, he asked the county magistrate to invite Capt. Li and Luo Dutou to come, just to let them help talk and persuade.
"Old lady, it was my fault yesterday. I was the one who gave the county magistrate a bad word, so the county magistrate fired the left deputy chief.
In fact, the most important thing is that we have been living in the capital for a long time, and the capital has been at peace for a long time. Most people in the world don't know that there are real demons and ghosts in this world, and they think these legends are spread by ignorant people in the world.
That’s why I thought that Deputy Zuotou was a relative left behind by the previous county magistrate. That’s why...
But no matter what the excuse is, if you do it wrong, you will do it wrong!
The student is here to apologize to the old lady and to Deputy Zuo, but no matter what, he still has to save the county magistrate!
The county official promises that as long as the left deputy nods his head, he will be reinstated immediately, and the manpower in the yamen will be at your disposal!
Regardless of human, material or financial resources, there is absolutely no difference!
Mr. Li and Mr. Luo, please help me with some persuasion! "
It can be said that what the master said is sincere, and his relationship with Tian Wenliang is really the kind of repaying kindness.
Because Tian Wenliang's ancestors did help their family. Without the help of Tian Wenliang's ancestors, their family might have disappeared, and he would not have been born.
When Capt. Li saw his name, he had to stand up and said: "Brother, if you can help, please help. If you really can't help, there is nothing you can do. After all, the county magistrate is my immediate superior, not yours." !”
He said this very straightforwardly. He came to persuade him. It was a task given by the superior officer and he had to do it.
He came to persuade him, but it was his own decision whether Chen Yun wanted to go or not.
Because he is no longer a member of the officialdom, not the left deputy chief of the yamen, but an ordinary citizen. Of course, if the common people are in need, the court can forcibly recruit manpower.
But now, does the county magistrate dare to forcefully recruit Brother Zuo?
He didn't dare, so whether Brother Zuo would go or not was not that important to Capt. Li.
His family has been here in Guobei County for generations, and he is considered a local snake here. Otherwise, he would not be able to be a leader. Without making a big mistake, he can not be a bird for a new county magistrate.
"Brother Zuo, what should I say?
In fact, if you can help, you can ask the Yamen for appropriate remuneration. Even if the remuneration is more generous, it is understandable. After all, dealing with monsters is very dangerous!
Of course, if you feel unsure, don’t force it! "
Of course, the same is true for Luo Dutou. He has to say what needs to be said in the situation, but whether Chen Yun goes or not is Chen Yun's decision.
No matter what they said or how they tried to persuade them, Chen Yun just smiled and poured them water without agreeing.
Even the master knelt down and begged, but Chen Yun still didn't let go!
Because old man Zuo wouldn't let him agree!
Moreover, the old man Zuo was very serious and spoke directly to chase away the guests without any doubt.
The master was helpless, but he didn't dare to show any shame. Although he refused now, he was not done yet. He went back to discuss with the county magistrate, and maybe he could come up with more generous terms to impress Zuo Yun.
After all, in front of a small life, everything can be said otherwise!
After the master left, Li Captou and Luo Dutou also stood up and apologetically clasped their fists at Chen Yun and said, "Brother Zuo, this visit was not our intention!
However, if I can help, it doesn’t hurt to ask the county magistrate for a more generous reward!
After all, you saved his life!
If he dies, the next county magistrate may not be better than the current one!
Of course, if Brother Zuo has any scruples, he doesn’t need to look at our face! "
Chen Yun shook his head: "Actually, I don't mind, I even want to see how the ghost in wedding clothes harms people!
However, the old man insists that I refuse, what can I do! "
Old Man Zuo snorted: "The honor of a county, how powerful the country's fate is, his name can be written on that ghost wedding book, is this something that ordinary people like us can get involved in?
If the county magistrate's name is written by a female ghost, then the female ghost's magic power on the marriage certificate is enough to challenge the national destiny of Liang that covers the sky above Guobei County!
Can ordinary people like us touch such monsters and ghosts?
I'm afraid that just one sneeze could kill us!
But if the name of the county magistrate on this marriage certificate was not written by a female ghost, ordinary people would definitely not be able to write the name of the county magistrate on this thing!
Those who are not as lucky as county magistrates in official positions will naturally not be able to write their names on such strange things, but now the name of the county magistrate appears strangely on the ghost marriage book.
The old man was worried that some superior officer wanted to harm him!
If ordinary people like me get involved in this kind of officialdom fighting, it will only turn into powder like beans put into a stone mill. "
Luo Dutou and Li Captou looked at each other and shook their heads together: "Old lady, this can't be done!
After the incident of making animals and abducting children, we first felt familiar with the people in this city!
I dare not talk about it now, but whenever a stranger comes in, no matter which street he lives in, someone will retaliate against us!
But these days, there are no special strangers coming or going in the city! "
Several thousand people are the population of a county in this place!
On Guangnan West Road, Chen Yun's hometown, there are already two to three thousand people in one village. It's a life where you can't see anyone when you look up. In a few years, you have figured out how many people there are in the village, where they are, and what their names are.
It's not difficult!
Therefore, under the conscious arrangements of Luo Dutou and Li Captou, it is easy to figure out the population composition and personnel flow in such a small county with a few thousand people.
This is also the reason why they believe that it is impossible for an outsider to come in and plot against the county prince, and it is even less likely that someone with a higher official position than the county prince will come in to plot against the county prince.
"If this is impossible, did the county magistrate write the name on it himself?
In that case, you can go watch and watch! "
Chen Yun said with a smile.
"No! Not just you, but both of you..."
Old Man Zuo was talking about Capt. Li and Luo Dutou: "You two can't get involved, even if they are just monsters, you two can't deal with them, and it will be in vain if you go!
If it’s official pressure, you can’t interfere, so why not take a sick leave..."
Of course, that's all. As for what Li Captou and Luo Dutou think in their hearts, only they can control it themselves.
"Okay, thanks for the advice, old lady. Let's go back and check the situation first. If it's really something we can't get involved in, we will never get involved!"
Li Captou and Luo Dutou stood up, clasped their fists and said goodbye.
After listening to Old Man Zuo's words, they had this plan in mind. Naturally, they would be on duty as usual when they returned home, and they would naturally be on duty as usual at night.
No one wants them to stay. After all, this thing is not something that ordinary people can do. Besides, it only costs a few dollars and is life-threatening.
After they left, Chen Yun looked at Old Man Zuo seriously and asked, "You really don't care?"
Old Man Zuo snorted: "Are you a Taoist priest?"
Chen Yun sneered: "Of course not!"
Old Man Zuo asked again: "Then you are a court official? Are you responsible for the life and death of this county magistrate?"
Chen Yun understood what the old man meant and responded seriously: "No!"
"You are not a high-ranking monk whose vocation is to kill demons, nor are you an official of the imperial court who protects the country and the people, you are just an ordinary citizen!
Although you have evil spirits and know how to use swordsmanship, in fact, you have only been exposed to swordsmanship for no more than two months!
How much ability do you have, but you don’t know it in your mind?
What are you going to do with a ghost that can make the county magistrate's name appear on a ghost wedding certificate?
Do you have the strength to fight?
If you say yes, you have to think about whether you can spread the branches and leaves of the Zuo family and leave descendants!
You have to think about it, you are the backbone of this family, what would your granddaughter-in-law do without you?
Have you ever thought about it? "
Old man Zuo gave Chen Yun a scolding, saying that he did not dare to refute, after all, the old man had thought of everything for him.
"If that county magistrate is a close friend of yours, and you are going to risk your life to help, old man, I will follow you with a knife without saying a word!
But do I have any friendship with you? "
Facing the old man's question, Chen Yun could only answer obediently: "No!"
"I have no friendship, I am not a Taoist priest, I am not an official of the imperial court, and I have no ability!
What makes you risk your life and abandon your family and career to save someone who has just plotted against you?
Go practice swordsmanship! "
Chen Yun didn't say anything anymore, and obediently went to the corner to pick up the 108-pound Qinglong Yanyue Sword and started practicing with it.
This was the first time he was being disciplined by Old Man Zuo. Only then did he realize that Old Man Zuo was still angry with him, but he felt warm in his heart.
However, Old Man Zuo is worried about himself because he doesn't know that he has the fate of a country and should not be afraid of ghosts.
But it can't be said that. The last time he was on the mountain, he was almost plotted by two thousand-year-old monsters. This is the world of Liao Zhai. You have to be careful about everything, and be careful again. He agrees with Old Man Zuo on this point.
Besides, as Old Man Zuo said, Hyundai is neither a relative nor a close friend of his, so why should he go up the pole to save him?
Tian Wenliang finally waited until his master came back, but what he brought back was not good news, and he was rejected as expected.
"Then what should we do? Wait to die?"
Tian Wenliang looked at the master with some despair, waiting for him to give him some advice.
The master had been thinking about it for a long time on the way back. When Tian Wenliang asked him, he also came up with the idea that he had been thinking about all the way.
"As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. In the past, killing demons and ghosts was all the responsibility of the Zuo Deputy Dutou. If you say that he has no ability, of course he can't!
Now that he doesn't come back, he probably bears the grudge against us for driving him away yesterday!
There is no grudge in this world that cannot be resolved. If there is, then it is the wrong way to resolve grudges!
Only by resolving the grudge can we bring back Deputy Zuo and protect you, Dong Weng! "
After hearing what the master said, Tian Wenliang's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "What is the solution?
As long as you can invite him back, any method will do! "
The staff master was confident: "As the saying goes, money is not everything, but money can accomplish many things!
This is just an unusual story about a strange person in a county town who has some abilities. As long as we are willing to spend money, it will not be difficult to win his forgiveness!
County Lord, what do you think? "
Tian Wenliang nodded quickly: "Take 200 taels and invite the people back first!"
200 taels of silver is already half of Tian Wenliang's current net worth. He has spent a lot of money!
After buying an official position, I felt a little cash-strapped, but now I couldn't care less about it, my life was at stake.
But when the master took the money and went to Chen Yun's house, he couldn't even get in. No matter how he called the door or begged, it was of no avail.
Old man Zuo was guarding the door. Even if Chen Yun wanted to open the door, he couldn't!
It can be said that the current old man Zuo is a stubborn person who loves his juniors.
In fact, if Tian Wenliang had not fired Chen Yun and something like this happened, Old Man Zuo would have immediately followed Chen Yun up with a knife.
But aren’t you fired now? The staff career had to come to nothing.
In Tian Wenliang's fear, night fell, and the entire yamen felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.
Naturally, Li Captou and Luo Dutou were not able to report their illness and take off duty. Not only them, but also all the people in the yamen did not go home.
Almost all the people who could be recruited were sent to the county government.
It can be said that there is one person at every three steps and a whistle at every five steps. The entire county government office is brightly lit. The torches and lanterns can be said to illuminate every corner of the county government office brightly and transparently, making people unable to see a trace of darkness.
But after nightfall, the brightly lit ivories could not block all the darkness, and fog began to form on the street in front of the county government office.
Old Man Zuo was drinking with Chen Yun. He was worried that Chen Yun would run out to join in the fun while he was asleep, so he asked Chen Yun to grill some meat skewers and then drink with him.
But while he was drinking, he heard an unusual noise in the courtyard. Old Man Zuo and Chen Yun came out with their knives and took a look. It was their own big rooster that jumped up the wall and flew towards the county government office!
