Chapter 88 This is the only one who can save Liang State!
Upon hearing this, the county governor's expression suddenly changed, and he asked cautiously, "Master, are you serious?"
Lin Eryou smiled and said, "Why? Do you think I would lie about something like this?"
The county magistrate quickly said, "I dare not."
"I'm just... a little curious. Where did the Immortal Master get this information? And why did he tell me..."
This "you have to listen" news made the county magistrate a little wary.
After all, there may be two purposes for finding Lady Liang and her daughter: to kill them or to protect them.
The position of Lin Eryou in front of him was still unclear, and this sudden incident made him suspect that the other party might be testing his attitude.
Especially since Lin Eryou was a disciple of Ziyou Mountain. The master of Ziyou Mountain was very particular about the way of a gentleman, and his disciples were especially upright and honest...
He was still the governor of Liang State. If he rashly revealed that he had colluded with the education official, it would be tantamount to declaring treason...
Receiving the Zhou State Education Officer was one thing, but actually putting it out in the open was another.
At least before their plan succeeded, the county magistrate was not willing to cause trouble.
Lin Eryou shook his feather fan and said, "I naturally have my own methods. As for why I told you... the county magistrate should know it very well."
He said meaningfully, "Now is a critical moment. Only in times of turmoil can heroes emerge. If we can capture Madam Liang and her daughter, it will be a truly great achievement. Wouldn't it be better than simply assisting the education officer?"
The county magistrate was moved, but he still pretended to be dumbfounded and said with a smile: "What kind of achievement is this... Besides, I only hosted the education officer for a day. Now that the education officer is at the residence of Fan Hailong of the Cao Gang, how can I be called an assistant..."
"Alas, we are all smart people, why do we keep saying these meaningless things?"
Lin Eryou gently patted the county governor's shoulder with his feather fan, shook his head, and said, "Since the county governor is so vigilant, I will speak frankly. Although I am a cultivator from Liang State, my family runs a business."
"Although I have some family assets, now that it has been passed down to me, I naturally want to take it a step further."
"Unfortunately, a few years ago, the Liang Kingdom's emperor, Su Yu, was licentious and immoral, imposing heavy taxes and levies. Even his officials had to follow suit to fill the treasury... For a time, my business was unable to operate in Liang Kingdom."
He smiled faintly: "Now, the opportunity has finally come, Lord County Magistrate."
The county magistrate hesitated and asked, "What does Master Immortal mean?"
Lin Eryou took the county governor's shoulder and said earnestly, "If this business wants to develop, it all depends on human effort..."
Zhou Yanwei, who was pretending to be a servant, was standing nearby. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
This Lin Eryou doesn't look like a disciple of Freedom Mountain at all.
It perfectly interprets the saying "Speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts".
It is no wonder that Zhou Yanwei was deceived by his disguise at the beginning, and really thought that he was just a playboy from Liberty Mountain with a false reputation. As a result, he was almost completely deceived.
After all, the Master's evaluation was "a standing bookcase", and being knowledgeable does not represent a person's character.
This is what is meant by not promoting people based on their words, and not discarding words based on people.
Lin Eryou's overly ostentatious appearance and his familiar and mercenary behavior make it hard to imagine that he actually has extremely deep scheming and ambitions.
At least, even if they weren't disciples of Freedom Mountain, any other cultivator wouldn't be able to get close to this bloated mortal county governor...
This can be regarded as bearing humiliation and carrying heavy burdens.
But Lin Eryou looked calm, even contented.
The county magistrate immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was a fellow traveler!
Since you are here for profit, it will be easy.
The county magistrate said, "Very well, very well. This education officer, Lord Ding, is a very easy-going and understanding man. Immortal Master, you can rest assured!"
He hesitated and said, "In that case, why don't we find a time to discuss it in detail?"
"Why bother?"
Lin Eryou said generously, "The county magistrate is so insightful, he will surely rise to prominence in the future. In comparison, this little piece of news of mine can only be regarded as icing on the cake."
"It's okay to tell the county governor directly now that Madam Liang and the little princess are at the Chen family residence at the South Pier."
The county magistrate took a breath, his eyes flickering, and said, "This is quite a coincidence."
"Oh? How's that?"
Seeing Lin Eryou's unconcerned attitude, the county governor also let down his guard. "That Cao Gang leader Fan Hailong is trying to eliminate several factions, and one of them is the Chen family."
"Isn't this just a coincidence?"
Lin Eryou covered his face with his feather fan in surprise: "Is this really true?"
"I heard that the Cao Gang is the local tyrant in Jishao. Now it will be much easier for the county governor to do his job. It's really like having divine help."
"I, Lin Eryou, would like to congratulate the County Magistrate on his promotion."
He saluted the county magistrate again.
A rosy smile appeared on the county governor's greasy face: "No, no, I might have to rely on the immortal master's business in the future."
After talking for a while, the two were both satisfied. They smiled at each other, each getting what they wanted, and everything was said without words.
After Lin Eryou left, the county magistrate became more and more excited and made the decision immediately.
"Fan Hailong originally wanted to test the waters a bit and try to gain some leverage before launching a rebellion. But now it seems that it's better to act directly to avoid any more complications!"
"Master Jingshan, what do you think?"
The county magistrate looked at a white-browed Taoist priest who walked out from behind the screen in the room.
