Chapter 133: Officially Appointed
Along the way, Chu Xian talked and laughed happily, and seemed to be very close to Wu Degui, asking this, asking that, and when passing by some vendors, he even stepped forward to ask about people's livelihood taxes.
The vendor didn't recognize Chu Xian, but he recognized Wu Degui, the emperor of the soil, so naturally he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and stammered to answer, if he was asked some key questions, under Wu Degui's stern eyes, the vendor sweated, but he couldn't say it clearly, and he didn't know.
Chu Xian didn't ask, but continued to move forward.
At this time, a group of people came in front, all wearing monk's robes, the first one, holding a golden Buddha statue, and shouting as they walked: "The Heavenly Buddha is above, protect all beings." ”
The people behind also shouted together, in addition to these monks, there were also many people following behind, also with a pious face, shouting slogans.
Chu Xian frowned.
It is the Heavenly Buddha Gate.
The influence of this cult in Liangzhou is extremely high, and Chu Xian knows it very well, especially in a remote county like Dinghai County, where there are more followers of this cult.
In Chu Xian's heart, this Heavenly Buddha Sect has reached the point where it must be eliminated, otherwise in a few years, there will be a big mess.
It's a pity that the officials in Liangzhou either didn't take the Tianfomen seriously, or, because they got benefits, they turned a blind eye.
Just like this Wu Degui, who has been the county lieutenant and chief bookkeeper in Dinghai County for more than ten years, will he not know the Tianfomen?
If there was no connivance from Wu Degui, the believers of Buddhism would dare to walk through the market in public in broad daylight?
Chu Xian looked at the officials behind him at this time, all of them looked surprised, Chu Xian saw the group of people coming on the opposite side, and he had an idea at the moment, and he didn't get out of the way, but stood in place, blocking a group of people from the Heavenly Buddha Gate.
The group of monks was fierce at the moment, and asked Chu Xian to get out of the way, saying that the Heavenly Buddha was walking on the street and could not be stopped, otherwise he would suffer disaster.
Chu Xian was unmoved, turned his head to Wu Degui and said, "Lord Wu, who are these people?"
When Wu Degui saw the people of Tianfomen just now, he felt bad, this new county official was transferred from abroad, and he didn't know the situation in Liangzhou, but Wu Degui was not too panicked, he believed that it was impossible for a person to change a place, but a place could easily change a person.
So he smiled slightly: "Master Chu, let's go back and talk about this matter." ”
The monk who took the lead over there recognized Wu Degui at this time, and when he heard Wu Degui call the young man Lord Chu, he knew that this was the new county lord.
Since they are human officials, they don't dare to be too presumptuous, and they are now saying: "The road leads to the sky, and each goes to one side." ”
After speaking, he gave way to the side, and then led people to continue beating gongs and drums and leaving.
Chu Xian stared at the group of people and left, without saying a word, and walked in the direction of the county government, he knew that in Dinghai County, there was a temple gate of the Heavenly Buddha Gate, and many believers went to ask for incense and pray for blessings every day, and the incense was very vigorous.
If it's just a county, it's nothing, if there are incense temples in many places, then the so-called Heavenly Buddha of the Heavenly Buddha Gate will inevitably become a scourge.
And it is a scourge of cultivating to an extremely high level.
Just by relying on the incense of so many believers, it is enough to condense and cultivate into a golden body, and that mana, even surpassing the official power of some human officials, in Chu Xian's view, the Heavenly Buddha has been operating in Liangzhou for so many years, and he doesn't know how many believers' incense he has smoked, and it is estimated that he has already reached the realm of the Dharma body.
Out of the body, Shenguan, Dharma Body, Dao Immortal.
The realm of the Law Body is already an existence close to that of a Dao Immortal, so it is naturally not something that Chu Xian can deal with, if you want to completely eradicate the Heavenly Buddha Gate, you must at least assassinate Shi and gather a large army to go to the crusade.
Chu Xian can't influence the history of Liangzhou, he is just a small county, and he will cure this county first.
When I arrived at the county government this time, as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a lot of county officials standing there, and when I saw Chu Xian and Wu Degui walking back, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Wu Degui introduced them one by one at the moment.
There are documents of the county government, a history of the county military code, and small officials such as headhunters.
The counties of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty are divided into large counties and small counties, among the large counties, there are only seven county orders, which are divided into county officials, county lieutenants, and master books, and small counties, without county orders, and the highest official is the county officials.
Dinghai County is a small county.
Chu Xian knew these people one by one, but Chu Xian knew in his heart that these people were all Wu Degui's people, whether it was documents or classics, or those small officials, they were all 'surnamed Wu'.
And Wu Degui is even more 'powerful', serving as the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper, this kind of thing is not allowed in other places, but in this remote Dinghai County, it has become a normal thing.
After getting to know many officials, he was seated, and Wu Degui prepared a table to welcome Chu Xian, but where would Chu Xian drill this kind of trap and refused.
Just said that you are in a hurry to take office, you are running all the way, you are tired, and you want to rest, as for the food, you can eat it if you want, and you don't eat it if you don't want to eat.
Within the county office, there is a special place for the county to live, and after Chu Xian took Qi Chengxiang to rest, in Wu Degui's own private residence, the officials of his family gathered together to discuss matters.
The one who discussed was naturally Chu Xian.
"This newcomer to the county is not simple, it can actually dissolve my dismount, it seems, it is rumored that this son is a genius in the sky, and he is the key person who solved the Fengcheng case in Suizhou, and it is really true. In addition, I don't know if Jiang Yuan and this Chu Xian know each other, and whether they are related. Wu Degui's expression was solemn, this was what he was most worried about.
Several of his cronies below all had different expressions, and at this time, Dian Shi Zhang Zhong said: "My lord, even if he Chu Xian is crossing the river dragon, he can't suppress our head snake, don't worry, we only listen to your orders, even if he is a county official, he will also ensure that he will become a light pole, with an official name, and no real power." As for Jiang Yuan, an outdated old man, what is so terrible? If the adults are not at ease, I will take someone to find out the tone of this old thing. ”
Wu Degui nodded: "Okay, Zhang Zhong, then you can go for a run in a while and ask what is going on." I always feel that this Chu Xian will become a big problem for my henchmen. ”
"The adults are too worried, no matter how capable he is, he is just a petty official who has been assigned, no backer, no backstage, otherwise who is full and has nothing to do to come to our Liangzhou to be an official? The down-and-out tiger is not as good as a dog, he, he can't jump for a few days. The county clerk also touched his beard and sneered.
Wu Degui thought about it carefully, and felt that it was so, after all, Dinghai County was in his own hands.
If you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the affairs of the county, big and small, which thing can only be done without nodding your head? The officials and officials in the county government all listen to their own words, and even if Chu Xian is a county official, he can't command it.
As long as Jiang Yuan doesn't talk nonsense, then Chu Xian is not enough.
"My lord, it's not appropriate for Chu Xian to let it go, I have to let him retreat, my lord, I have a plan, I make that Chu Xian uncomfortable for a while, and he lacks skills. The county clerk rolled his eyes at this time and spoke.
After listening to the other party's story, Wu Degui nodded again and again: "This method is good, just do it, isn't he a county prince? ”
That night, Zhang Zhong took people to Jiang's house, and when he came back, Zhang Zhong smiled and directly found Wu Degui and told the results of his investigation.
After listening, Wu Degui was a little relieved, at least Jiang Yuan didn't admit that he had anything to do with that Chu Xian, this is a good thing, at most, it shows that before that Chu Xian came, he was prepared, at least he understood the situation in Dinghai County a little.
Early the next morning, the clerk of the county government went to meet the new county lord, and also brought two officials and sent a large number of files.
After the documents left, Qi Chengxiang looked at the cart of files in the courtyard, and his face was ugly: "My lord, they are clearly deliberate, and they have moved all the files accumulated in the past few months of official affairs. I don't believe it, if there is no county official in the past few months, will there be no one to deal with the official affairs of the county?"
Chu Xian waved his hand.
"This is Wu Degui's plan, he wants to disgust me, make me retreat, and use these things to drag me down, just carving insect skills. ”
After speaking, Chu Xian said: "Move all the files here, and I will review the instructions one by one." ”
"My lord, this ......" Qi Chengxiang was worried, where could so many files and cases be completed in a while.
Chu Xian smiled, didn't explain, and directly picked up a file and flipped through it.
Chu Xian looked at things, one page at a time, it was not as fast as words, and outsiders looked at it as if they were flipping through it randomly, but in fact, Chu Xian never forgot it, and all of them could be engraved in the Shenhai Library.
Qi Chengxiang was also stunned when he saw this scene, but he had followed Chu Xian for so long, so he naturally knew that Chu Xian's talent was different from ordinary people, so he didn't say anything, but helped carry the file.
One, two.
It only took Chu Xian an hour to go through all the dossiers and write them down, as long as he closed his eyes and thought about it, there was no problem in memorizing these dossiers backwards.
"Chief Qi Dao, if you report it, you will say that this official will be promoted, try cases, govern, and issue orders. Closing the last dossier, Chu Xian said directly.
Qi Chengxiang didn't say a word, and went out to convey it.
In Dinghai County, the new county lord was going to be promoted to the court, adjudicating the case, administering the government, and issuing orders, and the news immediately spread out.
After Wu Degui heard the news, he was also stunned, and asked the person beside him: "What is this Chu Xian going to do? On the first day of his appointment, he will be promoted to the court? What can he do? By the way, those files have been sent to him?"
The person next to him hurriedly said: "I sent it, there are a lot of books, and I pulled a small cart, weighing dozens of pounds." ”
Wu Degui pondered: "Could it be that Chu Xian didn't read those files at all?" Hmph, okay, let him ascend to the hall and see what he wants to do, what he can do." ”
A moment later, Chu Xian's first ascension to the court began.
Many people are watching the excitement, because if they want to be promoted, they will inevitably have to deal with official business, and the trial of cases, the administration of government, and the issuance of orders are nothing more than these three points, but Chu Xian just arrived in Dinghai County yesterday, and he only read the file as soon as possible.
When the time comes, there will definitely be jokes.
I don't know how many people are waiting to pick thorns, waiting to make things difficult for this new county in the hall.
