Chapter 1223 The consequences of eavesdropping
"When Magistrate Zhou Hai took office, he asked all county magistrates in Zhongshan County to go to the county for a meeting tomorrow?" Mangu, who had just gotten off work after a busy day, received the notice.
He is currently dealing with the affairs of the former county magistrate and the former county magistrate at the same time, and has been very busy in recent days.
Fortunately, there are two senior brothers here to help, so he can get off work on time.
"Finally a new county guard has arrived." Mangu sighed. It was not easy to change the county guard twice in just a few days.
Mangu thought for a while and told Lu Yang and the others about the meeting notice, hoping that they would accompany him to the meeting tomorrow.
Generally speaking, when the county magistrate goes out, he will bring his attendants or servants with him to take care of the county magistrate and protect his safety.
"Do you want to go to a meeting together? Indeed, Junior Brother Man, you are in the stage of refining yourself. You are fine in this three-acre area of the county, but you may encounter danger if you leave the county."
This means that Lu Yang and the two of them work the night shift at night to find the female ghost. They cannot rest after the night shift, and they have to attend meetings with Mangu during the day.
Although during the tribulation period, one would not feel tired even if he did not rest for 180 days, Man Gu was still very moved.
…
The government of Quyi County is well-connected, and the two newly appointed detectives encountered no trouble all night. After the night shift, they accompanied Man Gu to Zhongshan County.
A few days ago, Lu Yang and his two men visited Zhongshan County in order to deal with the Hundred Swords Alliance. However, it was night at that time and there was no one on the deserted streets.
When I came to Zhongshan County during the day, it was quite lively. Although Quyi County has become prosperous under the management of Mangu in recent years, it is still a county town and cannot be compared with Zhongshan County.
At the gate of the county magistrate's house, I met several county magistrates who came for a meeting. Some were sitting in sedans and some in carriages. They all looked very impressive. Only the three of them, Mangu, came over.
Although Man Gu came over, no county magistrate dared to underestimate Man Gu. When the county magistrates got off the sedan or carriage, they all smiled at Man Gu.
Two county guards were arrested in three days, and the second county guard was even arrested and imprisoned on the day he took office. Who would not be shocked after seeing this record.
"Long time no see, Master Man, you still look like you."
"Master Man is indeed very resolute in his work, and there is no dust in his eyes. He is truly a role model for us!"
"A disciple of the Taoist Sect, the number one scholar in the Golden Science, Lord Man has two identities at the same time, which is enviable."
Man Gu also responded politely: "Man will have more interactions with you adults in the future."
When several county magistrates heard this, they were so frightened that they quickly entered the magistrate's mansion. Don't talk too much, otherwise they can sort out the situation without incident.
Mangu scratched his head, that shouldn't be the case. He was following what the chief rector said. Why were their reactions different from what the chief registrar said?
"Forget it, let's go in." Mangu has always been open-minded, and there is no need to think about things that cannot be understood and waste your brain.
Entering the governor's mansion, Mangu entered the meeting hall. As followers, Lu Yang and the other two could only guard outside.
Guarding outside with Lu Yang and the other two, there were also attendants brought by other county magistrates, and they were not alone.
"Then it will be hard work for you two senior brothers. I don't know how long the meeting of the new county governor will take. The two senior brothers can go to the county center for a walk."
Lu Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, we are here to protect you, how can we leave."
In the meeting hall, Man Gu had just sat down when he saw a strange county magistrate approaching.
"Man, thank you very much."
"Who are you?"
"I am Yang Dinghai, the newly appointed magistrate of Guyuan County."
"It turns out to be Mr. Yang. I wonder where the word "thank you" comes from?" Mangu said hello with his hands in hand.
"My lord, I dare not take this position. Originally, Zhang Tongheng became the county magistrate, and the position of Guyuan County magistrate became vacant. Liu Wangzhi and I both have the possibility of becoming the county magistrate. However, Liu Wangzhi is very good at pleasing Zhang Tongheng. The probability of him becoming the county magistrate is relatively high. "Oh, sir, you sent people to arrest Zhang Tongheng and Liu Wangzhi, so I had a chance to become the county magistrate."
Man Gu suddenly realized: "That's it, it's my duty, there's no need to say thank you."
The two chatted for a while, and Mangu was a little strange: "Come to think of it, we've been chatting for so long, and the county guard hasn't come yet?"
The two senior brothers were waiting outside, and he wanted to finish the meeting early.
Not only Mangu had been waiting for a long time, but other county magistrates also felt that the wait was a bit long. Why was Magistrate Zhou late for the first meeting?
"The new official took office with three things in mind. Is this trying to intimidate us?"
…
There was a man standing outside the meeting hall. Judging from his clothing, he was the county governor.
County Sheriff Zhou smiled when he heard the discussion in the meeting hall.
He held the position of meritorious officer in Huangzhou, in charge of personnel transfers, and had great power. Even the county guard was polite to him when he saw him.
When he came to Zhongshan County to serve as the county governor, it was just a gold plating. When he had enough qualifications, he could be promoted to a higher level.
His current achievements are inseparable from his skills.
His technique is somewhat special. Its function is similar to that of Buddhism. However, it is not as powerful as his mind. He can only eavesdrop on other people's conversations. He is smart and can figure out the relationship between people from other people's conversations, so as to sow discord. Or make a profit from both sides.
The reason why he arrived late was because he wanted to listen to the conversations of the county magistrates and the conversations of the government officials outside the meeting hall, and seek useful information from them.
"It's almost time to go in." Governor Zhou said with a smile. It was a bit regretful that he didn't hear the conversation between the two brought by Man Gu.
Suddenly, the content of the conversation between the two brought by Man Gu came to his ears.
"I feel that Emperor Zhongtian's ability to swallow Dao Fruit is quite powerful. He can even swallow other people's Dao Fruits. Doesn't that mean he can have several Dao Fruits?"
"Guan Shanhai's rubbing Dao Fruit is also quite powerful. If he is given a chance, he might be able to create a new world."
"I don't know what kind of Dao Fruit we can condense, and what kind of heaven-defying effect it has."
Governor Zhou was in a daze for a moment, wondering what happened just now. He felt like he was missing a piece of memory.
"It's almost time to go in." Governor Zhou said with a smile. It was a bit regretful that he didn't hear the conversation between the two brought by Man Gu.
The content of the conversation between the two brought by Mangu came to his ears.
"Senior Ying Tianxian's Yingjie Dao Fruit controls the Heavenly Tribulation. It's so majestic just thinking about it."
"Senior Jiuzhongxian's Yin-Yang Dao Fruit uses the world as a chessboard, endows it with Yin-Yang attributes, and destroys all things."
"The two of them don't know who is more powerful."
"Why does the county guard keep eavesdropping on our conversation? Does he understand? Does the knowledge of Dao Fruit have a forgetting effect?"
"I don't know. He can listen if he wants to, but he can't remember it anyway."
Governor Zhou was in a daze for a moment, wondering what happened just now. He felt like he was missing a piece of memory.
"It's almost time to go in."
"This Taoist fruit..."
…
"Why hasn't the county guard come yet?" Mangu became more and more anxious. From noon to afternoon, almost three hours passed.
Other county magistrates also criticized Governor Zhou.
"I'll go find the Sheriff."
Man Gu opened the door of the meeting hall and saw Governor Zhou standing with dazed eyes.
"Master Sheriff, why are you standing here?"
On the first day that Governor Zhou took office, the new official made three fires. The first fire was on his own head, and he was made to stand at the door of the meeting hall for nearly three hours. (End of chapter)
