Chapter 232 Calculation
In the afternoon, the old shopkeeper walked towards the prefecture government office with a smile.
"Oh, Manager Liu, is there anything wrong with you when you come to the prefecture government office?" A yamen runner on duty asked eagerly after seeing Manager Liu.
You may not know who the Emperor of the State Prefecture is in Qingzhou Prefecture, but you must know that Manager Liu on the first floor, because the boss on the first floor achieved supernatural powers when he was in his prime and was a famous master of supernatural powers in the world. This Manager Liu is in charge of the first floor, which is equivalent to the face of that person.
Besides, the first floor donated 100 million taels of silver during the Qingzhou Prefecture disaster. This is not a small amount. You can kill you with money.
Manager Liu took out a piece of silver and handed it to the soldier: "I want to see the master of the State Prefecture, please let me pass it on."
The soldier smiled and took the money: "Thank you for your reward, I'll go and pass it on to you now."
Before the soldier could wait for a long time, the soldier came back: "Mr. Zhoufu invites you in."
When he walked into the prefecture government office, he came to the Housing Study room. The master of the prefecture sat there to approve the documents. When he saw Manager Liu coming in, he smiled and stood up: "Barrior Liu please come in quickly."
"Thank you, sir." Manager Liu sat down, and the lord of the prefecture ordered people to bring tea.
"The shopkeeper is here. Could it be that the day before yesterday that I wanted to borrow money?" The provincial capital looked at the shopkeeper Liu, and his face was filled with joy.
Manager Liu's expression remained unchanged: "Sir, this matter cannot be done. Today I am not only here to promise the adults to borrow money, but to collect debts."
"Oh, what does it mean?" The emperor of the prefecture looked serious.
"Sir, we have received a message from our boss today. If we want to collect the world's treasures and immortal wealth, we need to consume a lot of gold, silver, yellow and white things. I also ask for permission from you. Don't let me do this, the old man, be it hard to do it. To be honest, it is really not good to be caught between the master and the boss. I am really unpleasant and unrighteous, but I dare not violate the instructions of the boss at all. To be honest, if I offend the official, there may be a chance to survive. If I offend the boss, the villain will be dead."
I heard Manager Liu’s “true and sad words”. The prefecture master sighed: “You don’t know what happened to our Qingzhou Prefecture. How can I give you money? I can’t even take out a single child now.”
Manager Liu touched his chin and a cunning light flashed in his eyes: "To be honest, my elders were not going to collect debts so quickly. But my elders suffered grievances in Shangjing and offended a powerful man. He had to collect the treasures of heaven and earth to speed up his cultivation and save his life."
The prefecture was shocked when he heard this: "What's going on? Chen Jiu was recommended to Shangjing. I have no choice but to do anything."
"Oh, forget it, sir, go and inquire yourself. I know that the prefecture cannot get the money, but I dare not disobey the boss's words. Why not do this? There may be some rare materials in the treasury of the prefecture. I will go and see if there is any payment for what my prefecture needs. If there is one, then it will be exchanged for money. To be honest, the amount of money was divided by the thirteen prefectures at that time. The thirteen prefectures should go to find the remaining thirteen prefectures to jointly bear it. No matter how bad it is, they must search out the rare materials in the treasury and combine them into the price to settle the accounts."
The emperor of the Prefecture gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you can go to the treasury to see it. As long as there are materials that match that kid, you can just take them, don't be polite."
To be honest, the treasury belongs to the court, and even if it is taken all the money, the treasury will not feel sorry for it. However, this attitude still needs to be done well.
Seeing the old shopkeeper walking out of the yard, the prefecture said to a guard outside: "You go and check what happened in Shangjing, and also, inform the other prefectures to use all the real materials to pay off the debt. I can't ask me to repay the money alone."
Not long after, the guard walked in with a piece of information: "Sir, the information sent by the Beijing government."
The Lord of the Prefecture opened the envelope, and as time went by, his face became darker and darker. He suddenly slapped the table: "Damn it, how dare you be so arrogant? The Grand Master should die. It is difficult to relieve my hatred if I don't kill it. I will immediately pass on this information to the Thirteen Prefectures. Let's study the Grand Master together. Playing with power tricks like this, it is really lawless and can't stand my Confucianism."
As this information was sent to the Thirteen Prefectures, a month later, the Thirteen Prefectures all filed a lawsuit against the Grand Tutor, causing huge waves in the capital.
Looking at the treasures in front of him and some materials, Chen Jiuyixiao, this time he just took the opportunity to cause trouble for the Grand Master, and then searched for some real materials for sacrificing the ancient altar from the Thirteen Prefectures. Where are the good things in the world? Is it necessary to say that it is all in the hands of the court, and with the intentional guidance of the old shopkeeper, the Lord of the Prefecture is probably trying his best to make his own materials.
After putting away some of the best materials, Chen Jiu pushed the rest of the treasures to the old shopkeeper: "These are not useful to me in cultivation. See if you need them. If you don't need them, go and change the treasures."
After a busy work, the sky had already darkened. The old shopkeeper was talking to Chen Jiu. Chen Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and Chao Xiaoyu, dressed in men's clothes, appeared in Chen Jiu's eyes.
"Little fisherman, you are back," Chen Jiu said happily.
Chao Xiaoyu suddenly saw Chen Jiu, and his eyes were full of joy: "Why are you back?"
Chen Jiu laughed: "I can't stand the bird energy of the imperial court, so I come back directly. I can naturally stand at the edge of the world when I practice martial arts. Why do I need to be an official? I have delayed my martial arts practice in vain."
Looking at Xiaoyusu, he suddenly smiled: "I knew you couldn't stand the twists and turns in the court, but I didn't expect that your speed would be beyond my expectations and would be back so soon."
The old shopkeeper watched Chen Jiu and Chao Xiaoyu chat enthusiastically, packed up his things and went down.
Chao Xiaoyu sat on the stone bench beside Chen Jiu, then looked at the sky outside: "It's good to come back, it's better to come back early than to come back later."
Chen Jiu looked at Chao Xiaoyu: "The Master's cultivation has recently made another progress."
Chao Xiaoyu did not hide it, nodded, full of joy: "The Huntian Ling you gave me is an innate treasure. It has a lot of innate energy and a great mark on it. Diligence is natural, but your cultivation seems to have become stronger, but you have not broken through the realm. Instead, your aura is restrained all over your body, which is really confusing."
Chen Jiu touched his nose. In the past, Chen Jiu broke through martial arts cultivation, but now he broke through the way of creation. Although the two are in the same realm, they cannot be compared with each other.
"Tell me about going to Beijing." Chao Xiaoyu looked at Chen Jiu, his eyes like black grapes.
Chen Jiu talked aside the process of going to Beijing and smiled at Xiaoyu when he heard this: "This kind of thing is common in the officialdom. It is not like a duel between a warrior, but rather crushing with absolute force. These are two different rules."
Chen Jiu was silent for a while after hearing this, then shook his head: "This is wrong. Both are the same, but everyone is just wrong. The strong are always respected. Whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak."
He looked at Chen Jiu when he heard this and waited for Chen Jiu to explain.
"The strongest people in the world are often the Human Emperor. Because the Human Emperor controls this endless army and can confiscate all the warriors in the world, everyone dares not refuse to obey the words of the Human Emperor. What the Human Emperor says is the rule, and the Human Emperor is the strongest, so everyone must do things according to the style and instructions of the strong."
"The emperor has formulated the rules of the court, and I can't resist the emperor because his fists are bigger than mine, so I have to follow his rules. If one day my fists can surpass him, then he will play according to my rules." As he said, Chen Jiu's eyes shone with light, as if he saw the essence of the way to be an official.
After listening to Chen Jiu's words, Chao Xiaoyu pondered for a while, then pointed at Chen Jiu's forehead: "You don't know what you think about this. There are so many twists and turns, the rule and hegemony of the court are so reasonable by what you said.
After saying that, he withdrew his finger to Xiaoyu: "Did you see Xiaoxiao when you go to Shangjing?"
