Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 1 Is it okay to not be the mayor and become the villain magistrate?

Greatly away from the southern border, Fengjiang County.

"By the way, this person surnamed Shen is the first county magistrate in our border?"

"It's almost the seventh one, but it is the one who has lived the longest since he took office."

"It's just a dog official who has pocketed his own money. He doesn't care about anything. I haven't seen him promoted to handle a case since he took office, but I'm afraid he won't have the chance in the future."

"That's right, the disciple of Wuliang Mountain was killed in the frontier, and the incident was quite serious. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape this time. After all, he will take the life of a dead ghost."

"It's not easy to be a coward, there is no solution to a dead end~."

...

The gate of the county government quietly opened a crack.

Shen Mu eavesdropped on the gossip outside, his already pale face became even more bloodless.

That's right, the Fengjiang county magistrate mentioned by the people outside is exactly him.

It is really helpless to face the dilemma of being cannon fodder just after waking up.

Shen Mu thinks that even being a useless passer-by NPC is better than the villain county magistrate that everyone despises, right?
The key point is that this is still a fantasy world where Taoism is flourishing, and at some point a sword cultivator will fly down to help justice, and kill himself with a sword.

From memory, I learned that this county magistrate is not a serious person, and his reputation was extremely bad before he was transferred to Fengjiang.

The skin is white and handsome, very evil and handsome, but he basically does nothing behind the scenes.

Shen Mu was struggling in his heart.

Anyway, he used to be an inspirational man who wanted to be the mayor. Although he was just a clerk in a department in the district when he passed away due to an accident, his feelings and awareness were still there.

From the bottom of his heart, he despises such irresponsible officials who don't love citizens.

But now the villain county magistrate is himself.

So, let's think about it first, whether we can save the current deadlock is the real question.

The current situation is just as people outside said.

The new generation of disciples of Wuliang Mountain went down the mountain to experience training, but they were killed in Fengjiang City.

Logically speaking, it is not uncommon for the disciples of this sect to die outside, since they are practicing one way, life and death are up to fate.

But the problem is that there seems to be an important opportunity for this disciple who was killed, which has attracted the attention of people from all walks of life.

It is said to be a big baby, but what it is is temporarily unknown.

Therefore, when a person dies in your Fengjiang City, the treasure opportunity also disappears in Fengjiang City.

If this does not involve the local yamen coming out to take the blame, it seems a bit unreasonable.

After all, today's dynastic system is huge, and it is not uncommon for many places to be directly involved in the corruption of sects.

In this era, there are still a small number of people who want to establish a sect in a stable way without relying on the dynasty.

Of course, Wuliang Mountain counts as one.

"My lord, why are you here?" A voice came from behind.

Shen Mu heard the sound and looked, the person who came was an old man with a more feminine appearance than him, with white hair and white eyebrows, and a naive smile.

"Oh, Cao...Master Cao."

This person is the master of the yamen, his name is Cao Zhengxiang, and he met the county magistrate Shen on the way to Fengjiang City for transfer. According to him, he once worked in the House of Internal Affairs of the Great Sui Dynasty next door. , This is a person wandering.

Along the way, the two chatted very happily, and finally found that they had similar interests...cough, they shared similar interests, so they came to Fengjiang together and made him a teacher.

Don't look at this old man's benevolent eyebrows and eyes, he is much more sarcastic than the original Shen county magistrate, the two cooperated tacitly and did a lot of 'good people and good deeds'.

"My lord, you can call me Zhengxiang in private."

"..." Shen Mu's eyelids twitched, he didn't really want to answer this question, he quickly changed the subject: "Hey, what's the situation, news from the capital?"

Cao Zhengxiang straightened her stooped body, nodded solemnly.

"My lord, no matter how chaotic the frontier is, it is also the frontier of Dali. The one who died was an outstanding disciple of Wuliangshan's new generation, and the treasure he was carrying was lost, so there must be a gesture from the capital. "

"so what?"

"So there is a letter saying that it must be thoroughly investigated."

"Depend on."

In the end, you still have to fight everything yourself.

With the heels of his heels, everyone knows that there is a high probability that this incident is murder and extortion, and the murderer came for that precious opportunity.

Wuliangshan's new generation is certainly outstanding, but the newcomers always have a problem, their eyes are higher than the top, so they may offend many people during the journey down the mountain.

He is a Zhima county magistrate, a local official, and he can't get much luck in a year. His realm is low, and he has no deterrent power. Fengjiang City is so mixed, if he is a little careless in investigating the case, he may be used as cannon fodder Went out.

The results before us are nothing more than two, find out, or not find out.

Once something is found out, the probability of being silenced by the murderer is high.

Those who dare to kill Wuliang Mountain can imagine their strength and background, and it is impossible for them to do so without any confidence.

But if you don't investigate, you will have to bear the anger of Wuliang Mountain, and you may have to die.

No checking, no checking.

"Damn it, the roads are all blocked, how can I get here..." Shen Mu was distressed, if he couldn't do it, he just rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and just left the Fengjiang head office, right?

I can't afford it, can I still hide it?

Just when Shen Mu was thinking about how to escape Fengjiang, he suddenly became dizzy.

[Homeland Binding: Frontier City]

[Occupation: County magistrate]

【Realm: Body Refining Realm (Progress 10%)】

【Cultivation method: none yet】

[Reputation: -250]

[The happiness index of the residents of Fengjiang City is turned on / the full value is 100]

[Other characters that need to be expanded to open the map]

【...】

The sudden panel appeared in front of my eyes.

"Binding? Fengjiang City?"

Shen Mu didn't understand, after all, this is a practice world.

There are grotesque landscapes and magicians and sect practitioners everywhere.

Isn’t Homeland a little too out of place in this context?
Even a 'practice acceleration' or 'gongfa sign-in' is fine.

He didn't come to be the mayor to play the rich man, so what's the point of building a home?
[Reminder: You live and die with your homeland, you die when your homeland dies, and you are strong when your homeland is strong! 】

"This..." Shen Mu looked at the reminder with complicated emotions.

The meaning is very clear, if you sneak this way, it will be blocked.

Actually bound and not allowed to leave!
"Can you really become stronger by governing the county? At least you have to save your life, right?"

[Hint: Yes. 】

[Hint: Homeland can bring you the convenience of cultivation]

Seeing the prompt, Shen Mu calmed down and thought for a while.

In fact, this kind of thing seems to be quite suitable for me.

If he insists on enlightenment and cultivation, to be honest, he is not sure if he has the talent in this area.

And governing and building a place of water and soil are his strengths. After all, that's what he used to do in the district. Although he didn't become the mayor, but at this moment, he is a real county magistrate. It is also reasonable.

[Reminder: For the first time you are promoted to handle a case, you can get a big gift package on the first day! 】

[Hint: To be a good county magistrate, you can get rewards to help you improve. 】

[Hint: If you do not do well as a county magistrate, the happiness of the residents will decrease, and the triggering of the reward mechanism will be limited! 】

The content of the prompt seems to be mixed, good and bad.

With a novice reward, Shen Mu felt that maybe he could still save it.

As for failing to be a county magistrate, he may suffer from the backlash of restrictions, which he ignored for the time being.

His current reputation is too bad. If this matter is to be reversed, it needs to be done step by step.

"Master Cao!"

"Sir, please speak."

"Get ready, beat the drums tomorrow."

"Okay... huh?" Master Cao was twitching his bearded orchid finger, and it was frightened to raise it at a right angle of ninety degrees.

He stared at Shen Mu and wondered, what happened today, my lord?
You know, our county magistrate in Fengjiang has never been promoted.

"My lord, Zhengxiang thinks that everything needs to be looked at. Although fame and fortune are comfortable, life is more important. At this juncture, once promoted, there may be no way out. Why don't we pack up our belongings and run away? Aoyama is here."

Shen Mu was speechless, he wanted to run too, but he couldn't run because of the binding, and then he looked serious: "Master, after getting along for so long, you still don't understand me, do you think I'm the kind of person who runs away when things happen? Besides, how many eyes are staring at us in Fengjiang City now, can you escape?

"..." Cao Zhengxiang's face was dull, and he was slandering in his heart.

I do not understand you?Don't be funny, I know you too well!
You are six times better at shrinking than me. When did you run faster than me when something happened before? "My lord... you really don't want to run?"

"Don't run away." Shen Mu shook his head: "I've thought about it carefully, it will take time to break the situation, accept the case generously, maybe we still have room for maneuver."

Cao Zhengxiang was taken aback for a moment, feeling that something was wrong with the county magistrate today, but he couldn't tell.

In his eyes, County Magistrate Shen is a cowardly and greedy person, but this time he became bolder. Could it be that he is eyeing the treasure of opportunity for Wuliangshan disciples?

If so it makes sense.

Cao Zhengxiang's complexion changed, he glanced at Shen Mu and admired in his heart, it's ok!If you are greedy, you don't even want your life, or you might become a big fan.

"Since your lord has decided, then I'll go get ready." Cao Zhengxiang stopped persuading, decided to hold back, turned and left after speaking.

Shen Mu stayed where he was, looking at his back, suddenly his eyes were strange.

【Master: Cao Zhengxiang】

【Personal Happiness Index: 89%】

"I'll go, the score is so high! Zhengxiang is living a happy life."
