If I come here to pay my respects every day, won’t I be exhausted to death?
"Hehe, I also think that you should come and pay your respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every day. When we were in Kyoto before, many officials from Kyoto came to pay their respects. You gentlemen should want to follow suit." Sheng Mingyu brought up the topic and Gu Yunni picked up the topic from the side.
The two of them have made up their minds, and no one can think of anything.
Sheng Mingyu glanced at Gu Yunni secretly, his eyes full of admiration.
"Yes, we will come here every day at that time. Please don't be disgusted, Your Highness."
The officials agreed reluctantly, but the legal advisor still stood there without saying a word.
He is much smarter than these officials. Who would be willing to come and pay his respects every day?
"You are so polite, my lords. Why is there another unfamiliar face here today? I have never seen you before. Who are you?"
Sheng Mingyu looked at his master for a long time.
He looks honest and should be smart, but I didn't expect that he is related to the master of mysticism.
The master no longer looked condescending. Instead, a proper smile appeared on his face and he knelt directly in front of Sheng Mingyu.
"Your Highness, may you be well. I was the advisor to the previous county magistrate. Since the magistrate's death, I've been left with a quiet job. I've been idle at home for a long time. I've only recently recovered from my illness, so I thought I'd come over to say hello to Your Highness."
Even if he looked down on Sheng Mingyu, this man's identity was not someone he could afford to offend.
"Oh! So you are my advisor. Since I came to Anyuan County, I have heard many good things about you from the gentlemen. I have wanted to invite you several times, but you have always declined. How is your health now? Is it good?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am now fully recovered and can return to my post."
It was obvious that both of them disliked each other, but their greetings were impeccable.
If these officials didn't know that the two people didn't know each other, they would probably have thought they were old friends.
"That's fine. You're old now, so if you feel any discomfort, please inform me immediately. I'm careless and may not be able to observe."
Sheng Mingyu, who had just been smiling, suddenly turned cold and spoke rudely, "But you were wrong just now. You were the county magistrate's advisor. Now that I'm here to take over Anyuan County, I really don't need you."
The master's face suddenly changed. What did this mean? He wanted to abandon me so quickly?
The next second, Sheng Mingyu's face was filled with smiles again. "But Master, please don't misunderstand me. This prince doesn't want to dismiss you from your position. Master isn't a serious position anyway. Just look at what you want to do, and this prince will let you take over."
Originally, he was second only to the emperor and above everyone else in the county government office. But after hearing what Sheng Mingyu said, wouldn't he be under the control of so many people?
The lawyer was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to respond and felt extremely uncomfortable.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have come here today to avoid being squeezed like this.
He closed his eyes and calmed down for a long time.
The atmosphere was very quiet, and only Sheng Mingyu was observing his reaction with a smile on her face.
He wanted to know how this advisor was going to break the impasse. Would he really dare to argue with him? He was looking forward to it.
Gu Yunni, the Imperial Master, and the officials below all looked at him, all with expressions of anticipation for a good show.
They have been in Anyuan County for a long time, but this is the first time they have seen the lawyer suffer a setback.
"I don't have any other requests. I just want to serve by your side. Do you think there is a suitable position? I'm not very capable."
There was no way Sheng Mingyu would bow his head on this matter. The only person who could bow his head was the military advisor in front of him.
Since he has something to ask for, naturally he has to be in a good temper.
"Master, you are too modest. I have heard of your reputation, how could you not be great? Just ask directly. I will definitely agree to anything I can agree to. I really cannot give you a position that is too high."
The two people kicked the responsibility back and forth like a ball.
Originally, Sheng Mingyu thought that his master would reject his olive branch with disdain, but he is still struggling.
Does that mean that something went wrong with that master of mystic arts?
Otherwise, who would be willing to work under me if someone got the elixir of immortality?
"Then what about the position of county magistrate? Do you think it's okay?" The lawyer looked at Sheng Mingyu tentatively.
If he was really willing to be given this position, he would also be willing to work beside Sheng Mingyu.
He had been fighting for many years for the position of county magistrate, but the previous county magistrate was a greedy man and was reluctant to give in.
"I have served in Anyuan County for many years and am familiar with this place. If you give me this position, I will do my best to help you. I will tell you whatever Your Highness wants to know."
This was the legal advisor's lifelong dream. He had failed the imperial examination, so it was impossible for him to become a county magistrate.
But as long as Sheng Mingyu is willing to use the back door, he can still keep his position as county magistrate.
"Oh? Master, what do you mean? Do you understand why this prince is in trouble now? Are you willing to tell me everything, even if it means offending the person behind this?"
Sheng Mingyu narrowed his eyes, looking terrifying.
He was really going to be mad. The truth that he had been trying so hard to keep secret was actually being used as a bargaining chip by others. What a joke!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a smart man, he should understand what I mean. I won't explain it to you clearly, it depends on what you choose." The lawyer was determined to win.
Maybe the elixir of immortality is also something he wants, but if he gets the position of county magistrate, how long he lives is not that important.
Sheng Mingyu and his advisor were discussing who should get the position as if no one was around.
The county magistrate below had a face as bitter as a bitter gourd.
Is he air? He is still sitting in this position, and His Royal Highness wants to give it to others.
So what was the point of him working so hard and giving so much to Anyuan County? Was it a joke?
The atmosphere between the two was tense, and Sheng Mingyu was almost so angry that he wanted to arrest the man and torture him.
Gu Yunni quietly tugged at the corner of Sheng Mingyu's clothes, and he gradually calmed down.
"This condition cannot be agreed to by this prince. The county magistrate has made great contributions to Anyuan County. This prince cannot take his position away from him. If you want to be the county magistrate, then work hard. You can find a way out through the imperial examination. You can even get a higher position than the county magistrate."
Sheng Mingyu's words were like stabbing a knife into people's hearts.
The master's face turned purple and blue. If he could really pass the exam, would he have to use such dirty tricks?
"Yes, His Royal Highness Cheng Shizi Jin Yan."
Sheng Mingyu stopped joking with them and started talking about serious matters.
"I believe you all have ears and should have heard what I said outside the house. Many prisoners in the county jail have disappeared, and they disappeared overnight. I hope you can give me an explanation."
