Huang Shangshan came back from the government office.
"My second brother is gone?"
"Let's go."
"Alas, there are a lot of things to do today, otherwise I would have to have a couple of drinks with my second brother."
This was of course just a polite remark from him.
This noble family has never looked at the big families in the county seriously.
He was very clear about this, so these big families, generation after generation, all dreamed of becoming the new aristocratic families.
Unfortunately, there are only so many pits, and if you don’t move out, you won’t be able to make any further progress.
As for the aristocratic families going one step further?
That means a deity will appear, but is it so easy to produce a deity?
One in a billion.
The aristocratic family cannot move up and cannot make room for a position.
Then we can only find ways to bring down a noble family.
In every fight for succession, smart aristocratic families would place bets on many sides, so that no matter who wins, their status will be as solid as a rock.
As for those aristocratic families with no successors, they have to rely on luck. They have to put their entire fortune on the line. If they win, they can ensure peace for a few hundred years. If they lose, they will naturally be annihilated and disappear in time.
Everyone is walking on thin ice, but he, Huang Shangshan, still longs to become the head of a prefecture.
Just like the Bi Bo Mansion, the position of the Lord of the Mansion has always been rotated among the aristocratic families.
Firmly control the cultivation resources of the prefecture.
Even when facing the Ninth Prince, he just bowed slightly and did not need to be as respectful as them.
"Wait for elder brother's golden elixir. Second brother stopped by to see me today just to tell me the news. Then he will invite you and me to watch the ceremony."
"Ah, eldest brother is about to have his golden elixir, then second brother will be soon too, right?"
Before Fan Chixiu could answer, Chen Shiyan appeared in the hall with Huang Yunling.
Huang Shangshan looked at Huang Yunling.
Is this still my daughter?
It no longer has that worldly air, and now it looks much more comfortable.
She has more of the demeanor than the daughter of a wealthy family, and has the temperament of a girl from an aristocratic family.
Looking at Fan Chixiu beside her, well, she looks more like her mother.
This Chen Shiyan is something.
"What's the matter with you coming here?" Fan Chixiu asked.
"Master Taishan, Master Taishui, my son-in-law's promise is fulfilled."
Huang Shangshan didn't react when he saw Fan Chixiu.
You know, this is also what she approved.
"I'm concerned about your situation as well. I've been keeping an eye on you during this period."
"But, there really isn't anything missing, how about you wait a little longer?"
Chen Shiyan cursed inwardly, damn it, even if I become an immortal it's not fun, this government office is poisonous, no matter how rebellious you are, once you enter the government office you will be tainted by the official atmosphere.
Throughout the ages, except for the monkey, no one else can escape this law.
"My dear son-in-law, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
After chatting for a few more words, the two left.
Seeing Huang Yunling following closely, he was a little surprised.
"We can't keep Chen Shiyan. If Yun Ling and the Ninth Prince have some connection in the future, this cultivator will definitely take advantage of it."
"how?"
"He can judge the situation, know when to advance and retreat, and he is also humble. This kind of cultivator is very scary. Coupled with his talent, I am afraid he will bear a grudge against my Huang family in the future."
He began to have some thoughts about the opportunities of the Immortal Sect.
But think about the control those aristocratic families have over the lower levels, and think about the control the Nangong family has over the dynasty.
Can that immortal sect be easily controlled by others?
What is not yours will never be yours. I dare not even think about the methods that the Immortal Sect can use.
"It wouldn't hurt to assign him a county magistrate."
After his second brother left, Fan Chixiu had already checked the official vacancies in the mansion.
Coincidentally, the county magistrate of Qianyuan County was killed by a passing bandit some time ago.
She even suspected that it was her second brother's work.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that a county magistrate who had reached the eighth level of foundation building would be easily killed by some pirate robber in the back hall of the government office.
If you have the ability, why don’t you plunder the entire county?
Even if they are afraid of the dynasty's order to protect ordinary people and do not take action against those ordinary people, those foundation-building families will always plunder them.
Huang Shangshan was a little surprised.
His wife had discussed with him many times about getting rid of Chen Shiyan.
He even figured out who to look for during the Nascent Soul Search.
Why did the tone change today?
"I'm afraid of this kid..."
"Can you and I imagine the methods used by the Immortal Sect? Even the Nascent Soul cultivators may not be willing to take this risk. Let's follow the agreement and leave a little bit of good will."
"Madam, what you said makes sense. Then let's assign him a county magistrate, and from now on, we can just leave each other alone."
"When he takes office, arrange for a concubine to follow him as a maid. If he really doesn't want to leave any opportunities, he won't give birth to an heir, and we will give up the idea of obtaining his opportunities."
"If he hadn't controlled himself and had a child, Yunling could have gone to live with him."
"We need to find a way to get the Ninth Prince to do this. We can't let this opportunity slip away easily."
"We have to fight for it."
The first time Huang Shangshan saw his wife, she was so soft-hearted and kind.
"Madam is really thoughtful. I'll think about where to place him. There are quite a few vacancies for county magistrates recently."
"Choose a place with poor mountains and bad water. He will get fewer spirit stones and stay longer, which will increase our chances of getting a great opportunity."
"Then let's go to Qianyuan County. There are many pirates and robbers there, so it's a good place to go."
"Qianyuan County? Isn't this a bit dangerous? If someone loses his life... our plan will be in vain."
"Given his strength, his life is definitely not in danger."
But what I was thinking in my heart was, Madam, you don’t understand male cultivation.
This guy will never give us any chance. It would be better if he was killed by that pirate.
"Then please arrange it as soon as possible. I will help him choose a concubine."
Huang Shangshan shook his head.
This daughter of aristocratic family is troublesome. She changes her mind every now and then.
It was she who wanted to kill him, and it was also she who wanted to send him to be the county magistrate.
There is no way, I have to listen to the pillow talk, the wind is so strong.
......
One day later.
"What? A county magistrate? To take office as soon as possible?"
Cheng Qian, who was eating barbecue in a small courtyard in the capital city, was a little confused.
He has made up his mind.
If the Huang family keeps the clone there all the time, maybe they will come up with some shady tricks.
When the time comes, if a big boss comes to search the soul, he won’t know what he will find in this clone.
What opportunity to become an immortal sect? That’s pure nonsense.
His martial arts technique is not the fundamental method of the immortal sect, but just one of the collected martial arts techniques. How can it prevent its leakage?
So he planned to knock spirit stones to improve his cultivation, and then everyone would return to dust.
He blew himself up directly in Huang's house.
Once the peak of foundation building explodes, the power will be huge.
At least he could get feedback on his cultivation. As for the rest, he could just go to another place and create another clone.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events.
In the main residence of the Huang family.
Chen Shiyan bowed in thanks.
Then, under his surprised gaze, Fan Chixiu handed him a storage bag and a maid.
"This is your reward for your hard work during this period. There is also a communication talisman inside. If you have any questions, you can message me. I can help you three times in the capital city."
The communication talisman, the name sounds ordinary, but it is actually not ordinary at all.
It turned out to be in Lingyunmen. He thought that this thing must be everywhere?
Later I learned that this communication talisman can only be made by those at the Golden Core Realm.
Only the magic power of the golden elixir can be retained in a palm-sized space in sufficient quantity to support the carrying of information, long-term flight, search for the destination, and the operation of such a complex formation.
Was Fan Chixiu brainwashed by himself?
Being so good to yourself?
Huang Shangshan also took another look.
Chen Shiyan accepted the storage bag and the maid who was said to be taking care of his life, wasn't she just monitoring him?
He is too lazy to think about it now and just wants to take office as soon as possible.
Qianyuan County, right? It’s your blessing to have me!
Chen Baopi, coming soon.
......
"Madam, you are choosing a concubine, why is it your maid?"
"It's not appropriate to have a concubine. If she's lucky enough to give birth to a child with great talent, it will be difficult to handle. You can trust the maids I trained."
Huang Shangshan saw that she was about to leave and asked hurriedly.
"By the way, we are going to the ceremony, what gifts should we bring?"
"You can choose. We can't afford the things that Big Brother likes, so it doesn't matter what else you give him."
After saying this, Fan Chixiu also left the main house.
Huang Shangshan fell into deep thought.
"Second brother, Fan family, watching the ceremony, sending a communication talisman, and a personal maid."
This is what he thought was unreasonable or abrupt.
When did the Fan family invite him? Even though he is the patriarch of a big family, they are not in the same circle and cannot talk to each other.
All they talk about is imperial affairs and court disputes.
What about him? A bumpkin.
I have only been to the Fan family once, and they were just followers.
This time I took the initiative to invite him.
His wife also sent a communication talisman and a personal maid.
He sat there with his eyes closed, tapping the table again and again.
Suddenly stop, eyes open.
"Chen Shiyan!"
"And there's Qianyuan County!"
"There is a problem. A big problem."
Get up and walk out.
"Someone come."
The steward of the Huang family's inner house came over.
"Go, arrange a few people to follow Chen Shiyan to Qianyuan County and report on Chen Shiyan's situation and what happened in Qianyuan County every month."
"Yes." Then he turned and left.
This is Huang Shangshan speaking again.
"Come back, take my token, and go to the warehouse to get a communication talisman. Don't use it unless it's an emergency!"
