Chapter 1224 Barely retaining the title of the first person under the Tribulation Period
The bailiffs outside the meeting hall saw County Magistrate Zhou standing at the door for more than two hours as punishment. They passed the message to their respective county magistrates, who looked at County Magistrate Zhou with increasingly strange eyes.
Is this some weird habit? But even if they like standing at the door, they can't wait from noon till now.
Even though County Magistrate Zhou was very good at dealing with people and had excellent psychological qualities, he still felt embarrassed when faced with this situation.
"There was an accident during the training. Let's start the meeting."
County Magistrate Zhou said this lightly and walked inside.
"Mr. County Magistrate, it's time to get off work." Man Gu kindly reminded.
County Magistrate Zhou's face changed again and again. Although he was at fault first, he was unable to hold the meeting because of Man Gu's few words of persuasion, which undermined his dignity.
He said in a very serious voice: "Sir, if we don't have a meeting today, we have to continue the meeting tomorrow. Do you mean that all colleagues will rush from the county town to attend the meeting tomorrow? Do you want to waste your colleagues' time?"
Man Gu was very puzzled: "But isn't it because you have been standing at the door and not coming in, wasting our time?"
Faced with the facts, County Magistrate Zhou was no match for Man Gu, so he had to order Man Gu: "We must have a meeting today!"
"Oh." Man Gu sat back obediently.
Seeing Man Gu's indifferent attitude, County Governor Zhou's blood pressure rose. He had never seen such a person since he became an official!
He tried hard to adjust his mindset and preside over the meeting.
In fact, this was just a simple meeting. After all, he had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, so he could not rashly decide the development direction of Zhongshan County.
At the end of the meeting, County Magistrate Zhou asked, "Does anyone else want to say anything?"
No one answered.
County Magistrate Zhou looked around the room and set his sights on Man Gu, who was eager to leave. "Master Man, do you have anything to say?"
Man Gu shook his head, remembering the notes written by the chief clerk: "No."
Seeing that Man Gu was quite sensible and understood the rules of officialdom, County Magistrate Zhou softened his tone and said, "Master Man, don't be restrained. You can speak freely here."
Man Gu still shook his head: "I don't believe it. Those who say this are all liars. They are very hypocritical and cannot be believed."
This is the explanation that the chief clerk gave to Man Gu about why his boss asked him to speak but he was not able to do so. These are all the original words.
County Magistrate Zhou clenched his fists tightly. His hundred years of self-cultivation almost failed here. He tried to speak in a calm voice: "Master Man is really a joker."
"I'm not kidding."
County Magistrate Zhou stared at Man Gu, wishing he could eat him in one bite.
It seems that he also set his sights on the position of county magistrate, so he arrested the county magistrate twice, but he did not expect that he would become the county magistrate. He held a grudge against him and embarrassed him again and again at the meeting.
County Magistrate Zhou squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "...dismiss the meeting."
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were curious about Man Gu's performance at the meeting and had been observing the conference room with their spiritual sense. When they saw this scene, they looked at each other, shook their heads, and couldn't help laughing.
"You are worthy of being my Junior Brother Man." Lu Yang felt that after returning, the chief clerk would add some precautions for Man Gu in the notebook.
It's really not easy to be the chief clerk to have a boss like Mangu.
"Hey, is there anything worth laughing about?" The Immortal Fairy was also paying attention to Mangu and felt that Mangu performed very well at the meeting.
"He is upright and speaks his mind, just like his ancestors."
Lu Yang held his forehead with his hand, fortunately the fairy did not get involved in officialdom. No, the fairy had reached the end of her career.
The fairy can no longer be relied upon, so he has to rely on him and Lao Meng, two good senior brothers, to take care of Man Gu.
After the meeting, the three of them had no intention of staying in Zhongshan County, as Lu Yang and the other two had patrol missions to do in the evening.
Man Gu returned to the yamen room to rest, while Lu Yang and the other man cheered up and wandered around Quyi County, where they met an unexpected person.
"Sect Master Lu?" Lu Yang and the other two were surprised. Why was Sect Master Lu here? Could it be that he didn't know that Hanba was already in the Corpse Driving Sect, and he was still looking for Hanba here? Lu Baqian was even more surprised than Lu Yang and the other two: "Are you two the constables here?"
"That's right, Man Gu is the county magistrate here, and you two are here to be his protectors."
Lu Baqian remembered that the magistrate of Quyi County was Mangu.
"Why is Sect Master Lu coming to our county?"
"I met the descendants of the master craftsman Wang family. In order to deal with Hanba, I was in a hurry to get the method of refining the Mountain Seal from them, and I didn't have time to give them a reward."
"Little Wang the blacksmith has good qualifications, but he is too young. When he is old enough, I can let him take my token and enter our Corpse Driving Sect, or go to other sects."
“I can’t say anything about places far away, but the sects in Desolate State still give me face.”
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Every sect in Huangzhou knows the title of the number one person under the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and no one dares not to give him face.
"By the way, I would also like to thank the two nephews for sending Nüba to our Corpse Driving Sect."
"Master Lu, you are too polite. Nüba was originally a zombie of your sect. We just happened to encounter it while we were on patrol. We have now returned it to its original owner."
"I still have to thank her. She is very powerful and can be a great help to our Corpse Driving Sect. I have fought with that Nüba before, but I could only barely keep the title of the number one person under the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
"So, Sect Master Lu defeated Nüba?"
"No, she defeated me and advanced to the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
“…”
Lu Baqian lay in bed seriously injured and reviewed his battles with Nuba many times, and came to a conclusion: he could win if he had scared Nuba with the Mountain-Suppressing Seal. However, after meeting Lu Yang and the others, Nuba became bolder and could not be scared anymore.
"...Congratulations on your sect's promotion to a super-class sect."
The requirement for a super-class sect is the presence of a Tribulation-crossing cultivator in the sect. Nüba should be considered a Tribulation-crossing cultivator of the Corpse-Driving Sect... right?
Lu Baqian was very happy when talking about this matter. With him around, their Corpse Driving Sect could be considered a half-step super-grade sect. With Nüba joining, it could finally be officially considered a super-grade sect and could enjoy the tax reduction and exemption policies of the court.
Lu Baqian felt that Lu Yang and the other two were really lucky. They came to the Corpse Driving Sect when they were in the Jindan stage, and then he became a half-step to the Tribulation Crossing stage. This time, the two came to the Corpse Driving Sect again and brought Nuba who was in the Tribulation Crossing stage. Every time they came, the strength of their Corpse Driving Sect could be doubled.
…
"Let me choose to join the Corpse-Driving Sect or other sects?" Blacksmith Xiao Wang was very distressed when faced with the choice given by Lu Baqian.
Faced with the sect's choice, Old Wang was not sure what to make.
"Child, don't be anxious. You are not yet sixteen years old. You can think about it slowly." Lu Baqian said.
Blacksmith Wang frowned and thought hard. He had actually been thinking about one question: "You said that the Corpse Driving Sect is best at driving away zombies and feeding them with their own blood."
"Then my bloodthirsty evil sword is a dead object. If it becomes stronger due to its bloodthirstiness, does it also count as a zombie?"
Lu Baqian was silent for a while, then said seriously: "Kid, join our Corpse Driving Sect. What we lack is your kind of thinking."
