In the county government office, Chen Shiyan was working, actually checking the accounts of the past few days.
Check how many identity tokens have been issued, and then adjust the prices in the county based on these quantities.
Dou Zhengyuan walked in.
"Sir, someone is coming from the county town. Would you like to go and greet them?"
Originally, Chen Shiyan didn't want to pay attention to those monks from the county town. After all, there was a grudge between them before and they couldn't see eye to eye.
Dou Zhengyuan's second sentence made him decide to go and greet him in person.
"The county magistrate's second son is leading the team."
"Let's go, be polite."
Chen Shiyan and Dou Zhengyuan came to the square outside the government office. Above the square, a large flying boat was floating.
Looking at this large flying boat, he curled his lips and complained in his heart, "Damn, it's really arrogant."
Dou Zhengyuan and Chen Shiyan came to the edge of the square, followed by some yamen runners. After they all stood in place, the flying boat slowly landed on the ground.
The monks on the flying boat got off one by one.
The leader was a monk who had a smile on his face and looked very sunny.
The monk seemed to have just seen Chen Shiyan and quickly took two steps forward.
He was the first to bow and salute, "I guess this must be Mr. Chen from Qianyuan County."
"It is you, my humble servant. I am here with all the officials of Qianyuan County to welcome the superior officer from the county city."
Behind the second young master, a cultivator walked out, and Chen Shiyan saw eight words on his face.
Arrogant and with his nose in the air.
"This is the counselor of our county governor's mansion, and also the second son of the county governor. This time, the second son is leading the team to take over the defense and blockade of the ruins. Lord Chen, please make the arrangements quickly."
This was what they had discussed on the flying boat.
Try to scare them first, and if they succeed, the relic will be in the hands of the county government.
They, the county magistrate and the big families in the county town, can all take advantage of the situation.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t scare them. Just continue with the previous plan and take it step by step.
When Dou Zhengyuan heard this, he knew that he was in trouble.
Who is Chen Shiyan?
He is cruel and ruthless, kind-looking but evil-hearted, smiling but hiding a knife... How could you just rush up to such a person?
The level of the officials in this county town is not very good.
Dou Zhengyuan quietly retreated half a step, and the yamen runners and clerks behind him made similar movements.
At this moment, there is unprecedented tacit understanding.
The smile that Chen Shiyan had forced out froze for a moment.
He looked at the Second Young Master as if for confirmation. The Second Young Master still had a smile on his face, like a spring breeze. He stood there smiling without saying a word.
"It's naturally a good thing that the county city is willing to take over. Your Excellency may not know that I, as the magistrate of Qianyuan County, have been under a lot of pressure during this period."
After saying that, he turned around and pointed at a minor official at random.
"Take the adults to take over the ruins."
The clerk's eyes were wide open, with a forehead full of question marks.
??? Where is my Lord? Where is my Lingshi County Magistrate? Who are you?
Beheading is as easy as cutting a melon. Where is the county magistrate who hung someone on the mission office building a few days ago?
Strange, too strange.
Dou Zhengyuan gently touched the clerk, and he came out of his daze.
"Yes, sir."
After saying this, he walked over and was about to take the adults from the county town away.
At this time, the voice of the county magistrate was heard from behind.
"By the way, before you go, I will get you all some identity tokens. I need long-term ones. I'm sure you won't be stingy with some spirit stones."
Well, it’s right to buy this flavor. He’s back, the county magistrate is back.
"I understand."
"Identity symbol? Spirit stone?" The cultivator who had just spoken, before he could feel happy about having been the first to achieve success, immediately grasped the key point of Chen Shiyan's words.
Chen Shiyan did not answer, but gestured to Dou Zhengyuan.
"Sir, this is our Qianyuan County's new policy for managing foreign monks. You need to apply for identity tokens, 500 spirit stones per person."
The monks from the county town were all shocked.
Is this fucking stealing of spirit stones?
Sure enough, the rumor was becoming more and more true. This County Magistrate Chen was extremely greedy and valued money more than his life.
The monk was about to rant when he was stopped by a hand.
The second young master smiled and asked Chen Shiyan, "I wonder how long this identity symbol can be used?"
"Three months? Five months? A year? Who knows?"
"Go ahead and get it. When you come to Qianyuan County, you must abide by the rules of Qianyuan County. You can't ignore them just because we came from the county town. Help me get one too."
"This, young master..."
"Go ahead."
"yes."
Chen Shiyan led the second young master and several guards into the county government office.
After pouring the spiritual tea, neither Chen Shiyan nor the second young master spoke.
Everyone is waiting for someone to come from the ruins.
The second son, Guo Rui, didn't care about Chen Shiyan's quibbling.
People like them can spend a few spirit stones.
Compared to controlling the ruins, it's a drop in the bucket.
At this time, a cultivator from the county city hurried in, glared at Chen Shiyan, and then came to the second young master.
"Second Young Master, we have been tricked by Chen. He has already set up a large formation outside the ruins, and now our people can't get in."
The Second Young Master's face darkened. He knew that this kid would not give in so easily. He originally thought that he was trying to vent his anger by taking some spirit stones.
I didn't expect you to be waiting here.
"Master Chen, what does this mean?"
"What are you referring to, Mr. Guo?"
"Let's be frank. I don't want to play tricks on you. What does the formation covering the valley in the ruins mean?"
"Well, I'm sorry, it's an order from the capital. Do you think I'm willing to spend that amount of spirit stones?"
As Chen Shiyan spoke, he bowed in the direction of the provincial capital.
"Where's the formation disk? Hand it over."
Chen Shiyan sat upright in the lobby.
"Mr. Guo, you take yourself too seriously, how about I move to another place? Can you sit here?"
"Chen Shiyan, I'm here to take over the ruins with the order from the county governor. Are you going to disobey?"
As he spoke, he took out a talisman with the county magistrate's seal on it.
"You can't say I'm disobeying orders. I've already handed it over to you. It's none of my business if you can't get in. You can break the formation directly."
"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
With a "bang", Chen Shiyan slammed the table.
"I was following orders from the prefectural government. Are you fucking deaf? If you're not happy, go find the prefectural government. Why are you pretending like this?"
"you...."
At this time, he thought of the rumors and his father's instructions.
Suppressed the anger in my heart.
"Okay, then we will set up defenses outside the formation. I hope you can stay here for a long time, Master Chen."
"Don't worry about it."
After saying that, he walked out with the guards.
"Come on, let's get settled first, then follow me to the ruins."
"yes."
At this time, Chen Shiyan's voice came again.
"Would you like me to help you find a house?"
"No thanks."
"Okay, by the way, let me remind you that the owner of the Li family's mansion has changed, so you should not be able to stay there anymore."
"There are a lot of foreign monks recently. Do you really not need me to help you find a courtyard?"
Guo Rui paused as he was walking out.
"I don't know what you mean."
Looking at the back of Guo Rui, the second son of the county magistrate, Chen Shiyan's eyes were filled with coldness.
There's no doubt about it, it's this guy.
As Guo Rui walked out, he was alert and furious at the same time.
"Is this Chen testing me?"
"I really shouldn't have gotten so angry after returning to the county city that I pushed for the removal of Chen Shiyan."
"But he has no evidence."
.....
After looking at each house one by one, Guo Rui's face looked extremely ugly.
I don’t know whether what Chen Shiyan said was true or he was deliberately using some tricks on him.
There are several houses connected together, all in extremely poor conditions.
It was hard for him to accept this as he had lived a life of luxury.
He would rather believe that this was Chen Shiyan's petty revenge.
"Hmph, childish. Go find a family and make room for us!"
"Yes, sir."
Originally he didn't want to do this as it would appear that he was bullying others, but now he really couldn't accept the slum-like environment.
He is a monk with a very high quality of life.
In fact, Chen Shiyan was wronged. There were indeed too many monks coming here during this period of time.
It was very late when Guo Rui finally moved into a family's house.
The more I think about what happened during the day, the angrier I get.
Chen Shiyan’s tone of voice, movements, and expressions.
Play tricks on him repeatedly.
Plus his temptation.
"Damn it, I can't help it anymore, someone come."
"My lord."
"There is something I want you to do tomorrow..."
