Chapter 21 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
Huh?
There are actually two people?
Lin Wen was slightly stunned, then immediately overjoyed.
What a huge profit!
I originally only wanted to find one, but ended up getting both Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. A small county town actually has two masters at the same time. How can there be injustice in this world?
Hahaha, this broken spell finally made me feel good!
Lin Wen immediately shouted, "Lord Zhao Ming!"
A white-haired old man bowed and replied, "I am here."
Lin Wen took a look and realized that this was the mayor of Huai Town, the one who had just said that Huai Town had no deputy mayor.
When [Observing People by Looking at Their Aura] was opened, for the first time, Lin Wen saw the classic example of the aura diagram in the textbook.
The dragon is hidden in the abyss.
Pure white energy with a turquoise sheen formed a disc at the bottom, like a dragon falling into the abyss. Above it, clouds and mist rose like a huge rock pressing down on one's head. The overall radiance was not noticeable, but it also did not dissipate.
When the boulder was moved, a dragon soared into the sky; when the boulder was pushed down, the dragon fell down and died.
The description under this example has a total of 9,400 words. Lin Wen only remembered these few sentences. The overall meaning is that he has great talent but is not recognized.
This luck is unstoppable.
Could it be that my great opportunity is now taking effect?
Lin Wen's brows lit up with joy. Isn't this equivalent to getting an SSR card with just a single draw?
"Okay, you are now the deputy sheriff. When I am not in the county, you have full authority to handle affairs on my behalf."
The appointment came as fast as a tornado.
The entire conference room suddenly fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at the county chief and the white-haired Zhao Minggong. The more flexible brains were already working at the speed of light, thinking about the relationship between them and the deeper implications of the appointment, while the slower brains were still wondering what was going on.
The person who felt the most incredible was Zhao Minggong. He had been the mayor for 36 years and had already given up hope.
I didn’t expect that it could bloom again in late season?
He was speechless for a moment, not sure whether this was true or just a joke by the county governor. In the past, a deputy county governor would start making rumors at least a year in advance from the time of arrangement to the time of decision.
Now, one second or two seconds?
Lin Wen said loudly, "All your affairs will be handled by Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Minggong!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Is this for real?
Is there a precedent for such an appointment? Was it prepared long ago, or was it a spur-of-the-moment decision? Is there a formula?
After a while, a voice whispered, "The appointment of the deputy sheriff must be voted on by the county councilors and submitted to the Governor's Office for approval."
Lin Wen simply didn't want to repeat himself: "Fang Weiwei! Read the relevant clauses of the Jiedu power to this idiot a hundred times!"
Everyone then remembered that this was an extremely rare event, even unprecedented in the empire, where the first person to hold the power of governor in a stable inland area was elected.
He has the power!
He can even mobilize the imperial army! No wonder the garrison Fang Dashan obeys orders so well!
This is for real!
Everyone raised their heads instantly, staring at County Chief Lin with burning eyes.
Lin Wen shouted, "Qin Luoshuang!"
I shouted twice, but no one answered.
It doesn't look like the official in the meeting room.
Lin Wen shouted, "Does anyone know Qin Luoshuang?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Finally, a staff member in charge of the water dispenser whispered, "There's a new female colleague named Qin Luoshuang."
Lin Wen immediately said, "Go and bring her in to me."
A moment later, a young woman with disheveled hair, Band-Aids on her face, and ordinary clothes was brought in.
Lin Wen frowned. This woman didn't look anything special. Her aura was like a goose egg, chaotic and unclear. He couldn't understand it, but he could be sure that there was no black energy.
"Your name is Qin Luoshuang?"
The woman whispered, "Yes, Mr. Sheriff."
Lin Wen was a little hesitant, but this name didn't look like the outlaw Zhang San, so it was impossible for someone with the same name to exist in such a small area.
But compared with the statue of Sleeping Dragon just now, this Phoenix Chick seems a little too inconspicuous.
wrong!
Pang Tong was also so inconspicuous back then. He was sent by Lao Liu to be the county magistrate of a small county. After drinking for half a year, when Lao Liu was so angry that he came to question him, Pang Tong pretended to be cool and finished the backlog of affairs in one day.
Isn’t this exactly like me now?
Lin Wen was tempted, but he couldn't promote her to deputy county magistrate directly. If Lao Liu promoted Pang Tong at the beginning, would there be any need for pretending to be so powerful later?
He pointed at Zhao Minggong next to him and said.
"You are his assistant now, and you will handle all the affairs of the county with him."
This arrangement is perfect.
Lin Wen was very proud.
The key lies in that sentence, it is "deal with it together", not "assist in dealing with it", this is called misaligned competition.
The two are equally talented, so they are bound to be dissatisfied with each other. When they compete with each other for glory, won't this matter be resolved?
Ahahahaha!
Zhao Minggong and Qin Luoshuang both recognized Lin Wen's specific words, and both had incomprehensible expressions, both in disbelief.
"I must leave quickly. To avoid any complications that might tarnish my faith."
Lin Wen thought to himself and quickly said, "The meeting is over, let's adjourn!" while rushing out.
Because he moved so quickly, by the time everyone came to their senses, he had already reached the door.
Zhao Minggong shouted, "Chief! Huai Town has no chief!"
Lin Wen replied, "You are also the mayor of Huai Town! You can make decisions on such trivial matters on your own. You don't need to ask me for help."
Zhao Minggong wanted to say something more, but the county governor had disappeared without a trace.
Turning around, everyone present was staring at him intently.
——
Back in the county governor's office, Lin Wen was originally planning to study magic, but the guard Fang Dashan followed him.
Lin Wen had no choice but to use his Seven Apertures Heart to chat with Fang Dashan for a while. For some reason, the Seven Apertures Heart worked surprisingly well this time. Fang Dashan soon regarded the county governor as a confidant and a boss whom he could completely bet everything on. He swore unconditional allegiance on the spot, patted his chest, and declared that as long as it was the county governor's order, he would go through fire and water without hesitation, and would never frown even if it meant going through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
After sending Fang Dashan away, Ma Baojia, a senior security officer from the Public Security Department, came uninvited.
This is the third-ranked person in the Public Security Department besides the section chief and deputy section chief, but in reality he has very little power, far less than the deputy section chief.
But the section chief and deputy section chief were all involved in the conspiracy, and now he is the biggest one.
Lin Wen took a look at this person. He was rather greedy for power and loved money. There were black threads floating around his aura, accounting for about 5%.
It can only be used with some difficulty.
Lin Wen asked him to temporarily take charge of all the daily work of the Public Security Department, restore order, and send 50 security officers and security guards to be deployed tomorrow.
Finally, the eunuch Xu Kangxing came. No, it was the chief eunuch, meaning he was the one who supervised the Supervisory Office. He was the de facto number three person in the Supervisory Office, and his authority was much greater than that of a senior sheriff.
Lin Wen asked him to keep the conspirators under guard, investigate and collect all evidence of the conspirators' crimes, and destroy the false testimony they had given to frame the wise and brave county magistrate. At the same time, he rejected Xu Kangxing's request to search for potential conspirators - just kidding, this is a real sword of Damocles, and if you are not careful, a lot of bad karma will come to you.
After finishing this series of mundane affairs, Lin Wen studied magic for a while, and gained a glimpse into the charm of the world of immortal cultivation. He imagined how to use these spells to deal with powerful enemies when roaming the world of immortal cultivation, so as to make a comeback and kill all enemies.
Thinking deeply about it, I couldn't help but feel shaken and fascinated, and I wished I could reincarnate and cultivate immortality immediately.
But reason stopped him in time. He now knew that only by working hard in the physical world could he have a smoother start in the world of immortal cultivation, and these refreshing scenes would appear more and more frequently. Otherwise, it would be unbearable to just hide in the dark for hundreds or thousands of years to accumulate strength, seek opportunities, and secretly seize luck.
Although he could not reincarnate immediately, the process of deeply savoring the dream cleansed his spirit, washing away all the dust that had accumulated during the day, and his mind became pure and dust-free again.
After another good night's sleep, my mood has been restored and I am full of energy and motivation again.
Soul: 15%.
Excess recovery!
What surprised Lin Wen even more was that he inexplicably had more than ten more good karma points than yesterday!
Lin Wen’s first thought was: Has the opportunity to rebuild our home arrived?
But we soon realized that this was impossible. The engineering team had not returned yet and the funds had just been allocated, so it was impossible for them to arrive so quickly.
So where did this come from?
Thinking back to what I did yesterday, it is impossible to suppress the riots. If there was, it would have been done long ago and would not have been delayed until so late.
Then, the only possibility left is to promote Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.
Is it because Crouching Dragon and Phoenix handled the chores so well that he got a share of the profits?
Or is it the good fortune of recognition that allowed them to soar to new heights and realize their ambitions? Or is it a combination of both?
Lin Wen is not sure yet, but it is definitely because of them, there is no doubt about it.
