Chapter 1223 The End of Eavesdropping

"Prefect Zhou Hai has taken office and requires all county magistrates in Zhongshan County to go to the county for a meeting tomorrow?" Man Gu, who had just got off work after a busy day, received the notice.

He is now dealing with the affairs of the former county governor and the former county governor at the same time, and has been very busy in recent days.

Fortunately, he had two senior brothers here to help, so he was able to get off work on time.

"Finally, a new county magistrate has arrived." Man Gu sighed. It was not easy to change the county magistrate twice in just a few days.

Man Gu thought about it and told Lu Yang and the others about the meeting notice, hoping that they would accompany him to the meeting tomorrow.

Generally speaking, when a county magistrate goes out, he will bring attendants or yamen runners with him to take care of him and protect his safety.

"Will you go to the meeting together? Indeed, Junior Brother Man, you are in the Void Refining Stage. It's okay in this small area of ​​the county, but you may encounter danger if you leave the county."

This means that Lu Yang and his companions have to work the night shift to find the female ghost. They cannot rest after the night shift and have to accompany Man Gu to meetings during the day.

Although for someone in the Tribulation Crossing Period, not resting for a hundred or eighty days would not be tiring, Man Gu was still very moved.

…

The government of Quyi County was stable and the people were harmonious. The two newly appointed constables did not encounter any problems that night. After the night shift, they accompanied Mangu to Zhongshan County.

A few days ago, Lu Yang and his companions came to Zhongshan County to deal with the Hundred Swords Alliance, but it was night time and the deserted streets were deserted.

When I arrived at Zhongshan County during the day, it was quite lively. Although Quyi County had become prosperous under Mangu's governance in recent years, it was still a county town after all and could not be compared with Zhongshan County.

At the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, they met several county magistrates who came for a meeting. Some of them were sitting in sedan chairs, and some were riding in carriages. They all looked very impressive. Only Man Gu and the other two walked over.

Although Mangu walked here, no county magistrate dared to underestimate Mangu. The county magistrates all smiled at Mangu when they got off the sedan chair or carriage.

Two county governors were arrested in three days, and even the second county governor was thrown into jail on the day he took office. Who would not be shocked by this record?

"Master Man, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as charming as ever."

"Master Man is indeed very decisive in his work, and he won't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He is truly a role model for us!"

"A disciple of the Daoist sect and the top scholar of the Golden Examination, Master Man has two identities at the same time. It's really enviable."

Man Gu also politely returned the greeting: "Man Mou will definitely communicate more with you gentlemen in the future."

Upon hearing this, several county magistrates were so frightened that they hurried into the county governor's mansion, warning them not to communicate too much, otherwise trouble could be caused out of nothing.

Man Gu scratched his head. This shouldn't be the case. He had been following the instructions of the chief clerk. Why did their reactions differ from what the chief clerk had said? "Forget it, let's go in." Man Gu was always open-minded. He didn't need to think about things that he couldn't figure out.

After entering the county magistrate's mansion, Man Gu entered the meeting room. Lu Yang and the other two, as his followers, could only guard outside.

Guarding outside with Lu Yang and the other two were servants and runners brought by other county magistrates, so they were not alone.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I don't know how long the meeting of the new county governor will take. You two brothers can go around the county."

Lu Yang waved his hand and smiled, "No, no, we both followed you here to protect you, so how can we leave?"

In the meeting room, Man Gu had just sat down when he saw an unfamiliar county magistrate approaching.

"Thank you, sir."

"Who are you?"

"I am Yang Dinghai, the newly appointed county magistrate of Guyuan County."

"It turns out to be Lord Yang. I wonder where this word "thank you" comes from?" Man Gu bowed and greeted.

"I don't dare to accept it, sir. Originally, Zhang Tongheng became the county governor, and the position of Guyuan County Magistrate was vacant. Liu Wangzhi and I both had the possibility of becoming the county magistrate, but Liu Wangzhi was very good at currying favor with Zhang Tongheng, so he had a higher chance of becoming the county magistrate. As a result, you, sir, sent people to arrest both Zhang Tongheng and Liu Wangzhi, so I had the opportunity to become the county magistrate."

Man Gu suddenly realized: "I see. It's my duty. No need to thank me."

"If you need my help in the future, Master, just ask and I will do my best to help you."

The two chatted for a while, and Man Gu was a little surprised: "Come to think of it, we have been chatting for so long, why hasn't the county governor come yet?"

The two brothers were waiting outside, and he wanted to finish the meeting early.

Not only Man Gu had been waiting for a long time, the other county magistrates also felt that they had been waiting a bit too long. How could County Magistrate Zhou be late for the first meeting?

"A new official takes three actions upon taking office. Is this a show of force for us?"

…

There was a man standing outside the meeting room. Judging from his clothes, he was the county magistrate.

When County Magistrate Zhou heard the discussions in the meeting room, he smiled.

He served as Gongcao in Huangzhou, in charge of personnel transfers and had enormous power. Even the county magistrate was polite to him.

He came to Zhongshan County to serve as the county magistrate just to gain experience. Once he had enough experience, he would be promoted to a higher rank.

His current achievements are inseparable from his skills.

His skills are somewhat special, and their effects are similar to those of Buddhist telepathy, but they are not as powerful. He can only eavesdrop on other people's conversations. He is smart and can figure out the relationships between people from their conversations, sow discord or play both sides and profit from it.

The reason why he arrived late was that he wanted to listen to the conversations of the county magistrates and the yamen runners outside the meeting hall, in order to find useful information from them.

"It's about time to go in." County Magistrate Zhou said with a smile, feeling a little regretful that he didn't hear the content of the conversation between the two people brought up by Man Gu.

Suddenly, the conversation between the two people brought by Man Gu came into his ears.

"It seems that Zhongtian Emperor's ability to devour Dao Fruits is quite powerful. He can even devour other people's Dao Fruits. Doesn't that mean he can have several Dao Fruits?"

"Guan Shanhai's Dao-printing fruit is also quite powerful. If he is really given the opportunity, he might be able to create a new world."

"I don't know what kind of Dao fruit we can condense, and what kind of heaven-defying effect it will have."

County Magistrate Zhou was in a daze for a moment. He didn't know what had just happened. He felt like he was missing a piece of memory.

"It's about time to go in." County Magistrate Zhou said with a smile, feeling a little regretful that he didn't hear the content of the conversation between the two people brought up by Man Gu.

The content of the conversation between the two people brought by Man Gu came into his ears.

"Senior Ying Tianxian's Ying Jie Dao Fruit can control the heavenly calamity. Just thinking about it makes me feel so majestic."

"Senior Jiuchongxian's Yin-Yang Dao Fruit uses the world as a chessboard, endows it with Yin-Yang attributes, and annihilates all things."

"I don't know who is more powerful between the two of them."

"Why did the county magistrate keep eavesdropping on our conversation? Did he understand? Does Dao Fruit knowledge have a forgetting effect?"

"I don't know. If he wants to listen, he can listen. He can't remember it anyway."

County Magistrate Zhou was in a daze for a moment. He didn't know what had just happened. He felt like he was missing a piece of memory.

"It's about time to go in."

"This fruit..."

…

"Why hasn't the county magistrate come yet?" Man Gu became more and more anxious. He waited from noon to afternoon, and almost three hours had passed.

Other county magistrates also had complaints about County Magistrate Zhou.

"I'm going to find the sheriff."

Man Gu opened the door of the meeting room and saw County Magistrate Zhou standing there in a daze with his eyes wide open.

"Mr. County Magistrate, why are you standing here?"

On the first day of County Magistrate Zhou's appointment, he made three big mistakes. The first one was himself, for which he was punished by standing at the door of the meeting room for nearly three hours.
