NOVEL NEXT Chapter 176: Fight with reason
Lu Yunchang was invited to the county government office as a guest.
The senior brothers were worried that it was the Hongmen Banquet, so they followed quietly and eavesdropped on the roof when the people sent by the county governor were talking to Lu Yunchang.
Lu Yunchang wanted to get back the 3 gold coins he had given to the county magistrate, but he knew he would never get it back.
Because the gold coins have already entered the pocket of the county governor.
"Your Bishui Sect has committed such a heinous crime that you actually killed the entire Lingxiao Sect. The Sheriff cannot ignore this matter, otherwise the entire continent will be in chaos?"
The person sent by the county guard said sternly.
He has already sent a letter to the county governor, and the county governor's intention is very clear. He must collect some oil and water from the Bishui Sect.
In fact, Lu Yunchang is not a stingy person, so it is not a bad idea to give the county guard some benefits.
Back then, they gave the adopted son two benefits, totaling almost 100 gold coins!
It would be easy to give the county guard some gifts and ask the county guard for help in the future, but what Lu Yunchang was afraid of was that the county guard would not do anything for the money.
He inquired about the person of the county governor, but of course he did not inquire about it personally. He found out about it through the family relationship between Ye Ling and Gongsun, as well as through the relationship between the fathers of several senior brothers from the Bishui Sect who were officials.
The Sheriff's reputation is not good, he is a self-centered person, others give him money to do things for him, and he also likes to show off!
Lu Yunchang didn't want to cooperate with that kind of person.
He knew that the people sent by the county governor were looking for trouble with the Bishui Sect.
"Sir, the Lingxiao Sect signed an agreement with the Bishui Sect. We will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Don't worry, Lord Qing. The agreement stipulates that you will not blame others for life and death. Please be aware of this!"
The people sent by the county guard saw that Lu Yunchang was not getting in. He slapped the table and stood up. He pointed at Lu Yunchang and cursed him.
"Don't give it
You are shameless! I am here to talk to you carefully and I have given you enough face. You can either take the money obediently or go to jail like the county magistrate. "
Lu Yunchang asked them what they were charged with.
"Okay, what are you talking about? If I want to arrest you, I will arrest you. My job is not to help you find reasons."
The people sent by the county guard kept banging on the table, putting pressure on Lu Yunchang.
Yun Zanzun didn't want to pay any more, because he knew that he was spending money in vain, and the county magistrate was a waste who only took money and did nothing.
It’s not just the county magistrate who needs to be replaced, but also the county guard.
"If you dare to arrest me, I will have your county government razed to the ground!"
Lu Yunchang was not afraid of the people sent by the county governor at all.
On the contrary, the people sent by the county guard were frightened by Lu Yunchang's momentum.
In this continent, monks have the highest status. Even in public places, officials have to salute monks, but he really can't arrest Lu Yunchang rashly.
One of the charges against the county magistrate was that the magistrate arrested people from the Bishui Sect without any evidence. The people sent by the magistrate did not want to make the same mistake.
He could only let Lu Yunchang go.
After Lu Yunchang returned to Bishui Sect, the senior brothers finally felt relieved.
They thought that the people sent by the county guard would definitely make things difficult for their junior brother!
"It's a pity that the gold coins given to the county magistrate were not returned."
Lu Yunchang shook his head. He knew those officials would get out, but he didn't expect them to be such bastards.
"Forget it, junior brother, I have already given out the money. Of course it will be difficult to get it back! Anyway, our Bishui Sect is not short of money, so just treat it as charity!"
The senior brothers all advised him.
But Lu Yunchang hates suffering the most.
He couldn't spend those three thousand gold coins in vain!
Lu Yunchangyao
Find a way to make those who cheat money pay the price.
The matter of the county magistrate and the others has come to an end for the time being.
Because no one in the county bothered them anymore, the people sent by the county guard also went back within a few days.
There is no magistrate in the county, but according to tradition, the county magistrate must be elected by the people in the county.
So even the county magistrate can't influence who becomes the county magistrate, so the county magistrate simply doesn't care about that.
Luo Yunchang wanted Zhou Qian to be the county magistrate.
Although Gongsun had told her once before, Zhou Qian thought that little sister Gongsun was joking. She also said that sister Gongsun was not only beautiful, but also made people happy when she joked.
She thought of the county magistrate.
Because she can't practice cultivation, her best way out is to become an official, but she is a girl. Officials on the mainland are generally men and rarely women.
More importantly, her interpersonal relationships are not that familiar. She has just moved here and is not a highly respected person. The county magistrate must be chosen by the people in the county. Everyone will only choose people they are familiar with and highly respected to be county magistrates. .
"I think you should stop having any expectations. There is no way I will be chosen!"
Zhou Qian said while working, she was planting vegetables in the field.
She must familiarize herself with farm work and grow some vegetables. In addition to eating them herself, she must also sell them to support her family.
"Don't worry, we'll help you with the election. I have plenty of ideas."
Lu Yun looked confident.
Those who want to run for office should go to the county government office to sign up. The county government office will publish their information and post it on the information column at Caishikou.
The above will briefly introduce who they are, what they have done, and their family background.
week
When Qian went to buy groceries, she saw her own information at the market entrance. It said that she was a woman, full of sense of justice, and had excellent experience in solving crimes. If she became a county magistrate, there would be fewer unjust, false and wrong cases.
There are many other words of praise for her.
Will she solve the case? She tilted her head and thought, in her previous life, she watched a lot of TV series about solving crimes and read a lot of books about solving crimes. The knowledge of solving crimes is indeed sufficient for this era, and she can barely solve crimes!
Two days later, the candidates running for county office had to give public speeches.
Public speaking is somewhat difficult for her because her professional relationships in a previous life meant that she rarely spoke.
After all, as a bodyguard, shutting up is an important virtue.
But she didn't have to worry, Gongsun Lao would help her personally. Gongsun Lao helped write the manuscript of her speech.
Of course, if an unexpected situation occurs on site, she needs to respond quickly and flexibly.
The day of the election finally arrived.
The election campaign location is at the intersection of the vegetable market. The beheading was done here, and the campaign was also held here. Fortunately, the blood stains from the last beheading have been washed away.
The first person to speak on stage was an old man. As soon as he came on stage, there was warm applause from the audience. He has a very good reputation and is very popular.
Zhou Qian couldn't help but sigh.
"That old man is so popular, how can I compare with him? I will definitely lose the election!"
Zhou Qian has no confidence in herself.
"Don't worry, trust me, you will not be selected, we will help you!"
Gongsun came to cheer Zhou Qian up.
Zhou Qian was very grateful to Gongsun.
Because she knew that with her ability, she would definitely be able to participate
She is not even qualified to run for election, it is all the Bishui Sect and her brothers and sisters who are helping her.
