Chapter 421 New Arrival ([-]) County Magistrate Liu
Before Yang Zhen came, she went to Zhen Guodian to check the information. There are three foundation building and five Qi training families in Wushui County, all of which have been passed down for more than 500 years.Even for the weakest family, there are no less than ten monks in the family.

In Wushui County, where the total number of monks is only five or six hundred, this is already considered a powerful party.

Among them, the most powerful is the Liang family, with four foundation-establishment monks in total, two of them in the late foundation-establishment period.

His family is located in Liangjia Town.This town is located in the southwest of Wushui County, about a thousand miles away from the county seat, and two or three hundred miles to the west, it is the territory of the Yaozu, the vast and vast million mountains.

With the help of trade with the Yaozu, the Liang family has been prosperous for thousands of years, and there have been foundation-building monks in the family history.

Today, among the six managers of the county hall, the Liang family occupies two seats exclusively. Among them, the propaganda room is responsible for managing the monks in the county and contacting with the demon clan;

Under the Liang family is the married family, and the family has two foundations.Cheng Yu, the steward of the Jing'an Office, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of public security in the county, is a member of the Cheng clan.

Finally, there is the Heitu family. Although there is only one family member who builds the foundation, the Duzhi Office in charge of Heituyue holds the money bag of the county hall, and its status is equivalent to that of Yang Zhen's previous financial bureau, and its power is also not small.

As for Lu Sheng, she came from an aristocratic family with more than [-] Qi training monks, second only to the three foundation building families in Wushui County.Therefore, in the county hall, which is responsible for the annual selection of spiritual root students, the education room, which is relatively the least valued, is reserved for the Lu family.

"Isn't this just family politics?" Yang Zhen murmured in her heart, but on the surface she smiled happily and greeted them one by one.

After these few people, there were some small soldiers in the county hall, Yang Zhen did not neglect, and also returned the greeting with a smile.

After a quarter of an hour passed, everyone finished their introductions.He nodded and said nothing more.

Only then did Fang Hong shout again: "The meeting is adjourned."

The voice is dull, far inferior to Cai Cai's high-spirited momentum.

……

The location of the banquet was chosen outside Fangshi.

County temples and state palaces generally have their own independent spiritual veins, and they are often tens of miles away from the local county and state cities.The county hall is different. Although it is also on the mountain, it is connected with the county's Fangshi, and the county is under the mountain.

This is like Baiyun Mountain to Weiyang County, and Falling Cloud Mountain to Yunzhou City.

The mountain where the Wushui County Pavilion is located is called Baiwang Mountain.The county hall only occupies a corner of it, about two hundred acres in size, with a dozen halls, which is naturally much inferior to the county hall.

The group of people was noisy and didn't have so much etiquette, but they left the county hall in half an hour and came to Fangshi.

At a glance, Yang Zhen saw a newly opened store, which was the branch of Caiyunjian.

A burly man was busy outside. Seeing the bustle here, he looked over curiously and made eye contact with Yang Zhen.

Tie Zhu was overjoyed, but he didn't go forward to greet him.This is Yang Zhen's special order to try not to let people know about her relationship with this shop.

After walking hundreds of steps like this, I saw a three-story restaurant with three big characters "Baiwanglou" written on it, which looked quite grand.

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a wealthy businessman hurried out to greet him, and together with Qian Kun and Heituyue led the way ahead, leading everyone upstairs.

On the third floor, the place has obviously been booked out, and all the partition screens have been removed, making it look quite open.

Six tables of banquets have been set up in the hall, and two of them have already been seated, but they have not yet opened.Seeing the people from the county hall coming, they stood up and greeted them one after another.

Yang Zhen looked carefully, and found that one table was full of mortals, and the other table had mortal monks, so she couldn't help being secretly surprised.

Fang Hong swaggered towards the main table, Qian Kun followed him and sat on his right, and the left on the other side, according to the rules, should be Yang Zhen's seat.

But Yang Zhen really doesn't want to sit with this kind of people, the hypocrisy of last night has already been played out, so come again today, isn't it too tiring?
Seeing that there were only seven people sitting at the table full of mortals, and there was still one vacant seat, he leaned over to say hello, and sat down at the table.

Fang Hong glanced this way lightly, and remained silent.Perhaps in his heart, he also did not want to make a deal with Yang Zhenxu.

After everyone sat down, Qian Kun said a few opening remarks, and then Fang Hong got up and delivered a passionate speech.Then came Yang Zhen. After what happened just now, Fang Hong seemed to have figured it out, and stopped blocking him from speaking.

After Yang Zhen sat down, the next person who stood up to speak was an old man beside him.

"Today, the new head of Xianmen takes office, and the county is very happy..."

It was only then that Yang Zhen realized that the people at her table were all magistrates from the county.There are Xian Cheng, Zhu Bo, County Wei, Jiao Yu, etc., and the old man speaking is the county magistrate of Wushui County.

After the county magistrate finished speaking, another person got up from the mixed table of monks and mortals. It was a fat man with a rich face, and he introduced himself as Liang.After a few words, Yang Zhen understood that the person sitting at that table was the representative of the Eight Great Immortal Cultivation Families in Wushui County.

Celebrities from this county gathered together!

After the fat man finished speaking, the banquet finally began.

The county magistrate originally thought that Yang Zhen was just a handyman in the county hall, but now that they knew each other's identities, they chatted enthusiastically with Yang Zhen.

After chatting for a few words, Yang Zhen couldn't help feeling very fond of him.

This old man's surname is Liu, he is in his fifties, and his appearance is thin. Although his hair is quite gray, it can be seen that he must have been handsome when he was young.

And this old experience is quite unusual.

Jinshi in his twenties, entered the Imperial Academy, and then wrote a letter to impeach the powerful officials at the time, and was sentenced to death in prison. Only after being rescued by his colleagues did he survive.

A few years later, the powerful officials fell, and he rose again, but he has been in the ups and downs of the local officialdom. After changing two places, he offended the local tyrants and was dismissed again.

As of today, it is the second recovery.

Sounds like an upright official!Yang Zhen felt admiration.When he heard magistrate Liu talk about his experience in prison, he felt the same way, and casually sent Wang Bo's famous article:
"Xilu cicadas sing, Nanguanke thinks deeply.... No one believes in virtuousness, who is the one who expresses his heart."

Immediately, the old man was startled as a heavenly man and cited as a confidant.

And then, Yang Zhen became more interested, and even presented the famous quotes that she had recited back then one by one.

Talking about the hardship of people’s livelihood——“At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drops to the soil. Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard work.”

The Wushui River outside the city is majestic - "Tianshi surrounds the plains, and the river flows into the Broken Mountain."

The old man misses his hometown - "I am a stranger in a foreign land alone, and miss my relatives every festive season."

Especially at the end, when the old man talked about his deceased wife traveling with him in officialdom, wandering, and finally died of illness, Yang Zhen said:
"Ten years of life and death are boundless, unforgettable without thinking."

Immediately, it caused him to burst into tears, and he couldn't help himself, and the people around him also looked sideways.

"Master Yang," County Magistrate Liu held his hand, tears streaming down his face, "I lost my composure today, I can't accompany you anymore, please forgive me."
