Chapter 105: The King of Dog Lickers
South of the city, the Shuzhou branch of Xuanjingsi.
There are a total of thirty-six prefectures in Daning, and Xuan Jingsi has a branch office in each prefecture, but its scale varies according to different local conditions.
The largest number was over a thousand, and the smallest was only a hundred.
And the main work content is also different.
In some states, there are many gangs and sects, so there are more people from the Buyiwei; in some states, there are serious monster problems, so there are more people from the Liuye Department; in some states, religious affairs are complicated, so there are more people from the Zongmi Department...
As for the Inner Guards and Flower Feather Guards that were assigned to protect Wei Changtian's life, they were actually not important to these branches.
The Internal Guard is responsible for protecting the safety of the Imperial Palace, and the local branches do not have such a system at all.
The Hualing Guard was mainly responsible for monitoring court officials, and its ability to restrain local officials was barely sufficient.
So, although Ning Yongnian took these two guards, which greatly reduced the power of Xuan Jingsi in the capital, it did not have much impact on its strength in various prefectures and counties.
At least that's the case with the Shuzhou branch.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the place is quite big, but why does it feel like a gangster's lair?"
Looking up at the familiar three characters "Xuan Jing Si" on the black plaque, Wei Changtian smacked his lips and stepped into the open side door.
If he was in the main government office in the capital, someone would definitely come up to him and ask questions like "Who are you and what are you doing here" before he even entered the door.
But now Wei Changtian had been standing inside the door for a while before two guards ran out from the gatehouse and shouted, "Who are you?!"
Glancing at the two of them, Wei Changtian casually threw his token over and said calmly, "I told you to calm down and come out to see me."
"Just a general flag..."
After looking at the token, one of the officers sneered and was about to say something when he was suddenly grabbed by the sleeve by another person.
This man was obviously smarter. After stopping his colleague who was about to say something rude, he immediately bowed and asked, "Excuse me, is the general flag officer Wei Changtian, Young Master Wei?"
Wei Changtian didn't say anything, just shook his sleeves.
This shake directly weakened the legs of the person in front.
"Wei, Master Wei...ah!"
"I am a small-minded person who doesn't know a great man. Please be magnanimous and just let me go this time!"
"Okay."
Wei Changtian was used to the fact that the other party would be scared half to death as long as he gave his name. He waved his hand and said, "I didn't say what I was going to do to you."
"Thank you, thank you for sparing my life! I will go and inform the governor right away!"
This person was afraid that Wei Changtian would go back on his word, so he ran away after speaking tremblingly.
The smarter officer did not follow him, but slightly turned aside and said respectfully: "Sir, please move into the room and sit for a while."
"Um."
Wei Changtian walked towards the main hall not far away and asked casually, "What's your name?"
"My lord, my name is Chu Xianping."
“…What a nice name.”
Wei Changtian paused, and on the surface remained calm in praising him, but a wave of emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
Chu Xianping! Xiao Feng's most powerful assistant in the original novel!
The second person in the "Dawn" organization! The only male supporting character in the whole book with a separate branch plot! According to the plot, he should meet Xiao Feng by chance next year and become friends with him.
He had a beloved woman who, by coincidence, was spotted by a wealthy businessman at that time and was about to be taken as his concubine.
Chu Xianping was in great pain. After Xiao Feng learned about this, he did something he was familiar with - he took him with him to "rob the bride".
The woman got the money back, but the rich businessman was dead.
Chu Xianping was moved by Xiao Feng's "righteousness" and also joined the newly established "Dawn" organization to protect himself. He began to show amazing strategic ability and gradually became Xiao Feng's right-hand man.
The plot development up to this point is relatively normal, but I don’t know if the author was suffering from a literary youth disease when writing this part, and he made up a bloody plot of “the ultimate dog-licking” later on——
The woman that Chu Xianping loved so much actually fell in love with Xiao Feng! This woman was simply a green tea who loved power. She didn't think highly of Chu Xianping and just used him as a backup.
But Chu Xianping and Xiao Feng's act of snatching the bride was too sudden. They kidnapped her without any explanation and even killed the wealthy businessman.
Although she was extremely reluctant, since things had come to this, she had no choice but to compromise and follow Chu Xianping.
Later, I fell in love with Xiao Feng, who had the aura of the protagonist.
As a decent character, Xiao Feng naturally could not "take away what others like", but chose to tell Chu Xianping about it.
Chu Xianping was extremely sad, and then he chose... to forgive.
He simply sent the woman away from Shuzhou, and finally handed over all his belongings to her.
As for Xiao Feng... of course it was because of his "upright" behavior that he gained Chu Xianping's loyalty.
After the original author wrote this paragraph, the subscription rate dropped by half.
Even Wei Changtian still remembers that he specially wrote a comment at that time -
【King of Licking Dogs】
…
In the main hall.
While drinking tea, Wei Changtian looked at the "King of Dog Licking" standing beside him, and had already started planning in his mind how to recruit Chu Xianping for his own use.
Although he has the attributes of a bootlicker, his strategic ability is indeed first-class, and there are system points to earn, so it is worth your effort.
"Brother Chu."
Putting down the teacup, Wei Changtian asked with a smile, "How many people are there in the Xuanjing Division's branch in Shuzhou?"
Chu Xianping was a little surprised by Wei Changtian's address to him, but he immediately lowered his head and replied, "More than a thousand people in total."
“There are quite a few people.”
Wei Changtian nodded and asked, "I saw that colleague seemed to be very afraid of me... Why aren't you afraid?"
"Young Master..."
Chu Xianping did not give a direct answer, but raised his head slightly and said respectfully: "I never listen to rumors, I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
“…”
Look, look! The level of speaking is really different! Sorry, Xiao Feng, this talent will be mine from now on!
Wei Changtian nodded in satisfaction and was about to say something else, but at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then three middle-aged men appeared in front of him.
"Master Wei!"
The leader stood in front of Wei Changtian, his face full of nervousness: "We didn't know you were coming today, and we didn't come to greet you. Please forgive us, sir!"
He has a square face, a long beard, and one finger missing on his left hand.
Although Wei Changtian had never seen this person, Wei Xianzhi had shown him a portrait.
It was Chen Bo, the governor of the Shuzhou branch of Xuan Jing Si.
The name is so unique that it’s hard to forget.
"Master Chen."
Different from the polite attitude he had when he met Shao Ying'an in the afternoon, Wei Changtian's expression at this time was quite playful.
He neither stood up nor asked Chen Bo to sit down. He circled his fingertips on the rim of the cup twice before asking calmly, "Do you know when I arrived in Shuzhou City?"
"Sir, the young master arrived yesterday evening..."
"Well, now that you know..."
The originally calm tone suddenly turned cold.
"Then why don't you come and see me?!"
