Qingxian asked

Chapter 61 Oiran
After the teachers and students bathed and changed their clothes, they got on the carriage together.

Master Qian sighed, it was really a case of the old being replaced by the new. Xu Qing's existence made him feel a sense of professional crisis.

Fortunately, Xu Qing definitely does not intend to be a staff member.

After all, the job he wanted to keep was one that others disdained.

Thinking of this, Master Qian felt a little sad.

...

...

Originally, County Magistrate Wu would definitely ride in an official sedan chair when he went out, because nowadays official sedan chairs are much more comfortable to ride in than horse-drawn carriages. But now it is snowing, the weather is cold and the roads are slippery, so it is really inappropriate to let the sedan chair bearers work.

Even officials, who see the lower-class people as ants, will not be too cruel to those around them.

For example, in the military camp, those generals who liked to whip their personal soldiers might have their heads taken off in the middle of the night, and die in a confused state.

"Gongming, do you know what's going on in the city..." Magistrate Wu suddenly remembered something and spoke hesitantly.

Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Magistrate Wu had also awakened the attributes of "Married Woman Cao"?

Seeing that Magistrate Wu was being evasive, he realized that his old mentor wanted to communicate quietly, so he leaned forward and whispered, "What do you want, old mentor?"

Magistrate Wu whispered, "I have always known Gongming to be a generous and chivalrous man. Recently, he has been called 'Jiangning's Timely Rain'. I would like to ask you if you have any clean guards you can recommend to me and send me to Yingtian Prefecture to take up the post."

Xu Qing's mouth twitched.

"Jiangning Timely Rain" is okay, who spread it?

It was probably that bastard Yan Shan. When he gets back, he will definitely punish him by copying the Book of Rites a hundred times.

There is no other reason. Among the Five Classics, the Book of Rites has the most words, with a total of about 100,000 words.

It turned out that the current driver was also Magistrate Wu's bodyguard, brought from his hometown. It was okay to be a magistrate's bodyguard. But Magistrate Wu still felt guilty about not having strong bodyguards around him as a patrol censor.

Although the inspectors inspected local areas on behalf of the emperor, touching them was like exposing the emperor's secrets. But it is better to be safe than sorry.

He was not deaf, so he naturally heard that Xu Qing was now successful in both the black and white worlds.

It is said that he has some connections with the evil spirits like Lin Tianwang from the Black Wind Village in Qixia Mountain.

However, County Magistrate Wu did not care about such rumors.

There is no powerful local gentry who does not have unclear ties with the underworld. If you really want to make a fuss, maybe even some of the princes have connections with the foreigners.

He really needs to use Xu Qing's connections in Jiangning Prefecture to find himself a few reliable guards.

As for the future, he went to Yingtian Prefecture and slowly recruited people.

After all, finding someone randomly now is definitely not as reliable as the one Xu Qing found.

Because now he is Xu Qing's biggest backer.

This also happened suddenly.

He was an ordinary county official, but suddenly he became a local leader. He had no time to prepare for many things.

Moreover, Xu Qing has taken root in the local area and found local masters with clean backgrounds, which means that his family members are also under the control of Xu Qing's territory, so County Magistrate Wu is not afraid of the other party turning against him.

Xu Qing did not refuse. However, he still had doubts and said, "I will do it tonight. But, old teacher, aren't the imperial censors usually guarded by the emperor's personal army?"

Magistrate Wu: "Yes, there are, but after taking office in Yingtian Prefecture, I have to go directly to the eunuchs guarding Tianjing to dispatch them, and it may not be reassuring."

Hearing this, Xu Qing knew that the position of Inspector General might not be easy to hold, and Magistrate Wu might even become cannon fodder.

However, as long as County Magistrate Wu firmly holds the position of Inspector-General, no one dares to touch him openly.

Therefore, the most risky part is indeed the journey to Yingtian Prefecture to take up the post.

"It takes less than three days to get to Yingtian Prefecture, and we're on a government road. If we're well prepared, the risk isn't as great as we imagined."

In addition, Xu Qing could follow secretly. In this way, he could judge how high the risk of Magistrate Wu's appointment was by observing the black energy in his luck.

"But please rest assured, old teacher, I will definitely get it done." Xu Qing promised. Whether the matter will be successful or not is another matter, and the attitude must be shown.

County Magistrate Wu nodded, but he didn't put all his hopes on Xu Qing, but it would be best if Xu Qing could get it done.

...

...

Jiangning River, clouds above the water.

This time, the host was Prefect He, who invited a local group of talented men, the "Eight Horses of Jiangning", to join him.

As mentioned above, he made his debut in literature and formed a group, so he was actually a low-end celebrity in Nanzhi. There was no way, Jiangning Prefecture was not as good as Yingtian Prefecture.

Not only is he from Zhili Prefecture, he is also from Beijing Prefecture. If he gets into Beijing, he will definitely have more channels than the local country bumpkins.

It is a natural disadvantage.

But Xu Qing is different. In terms of combat performance, he is a top three champion, the only one in this prefecture in decades.

He was even praised by Zhou Tixue himself, saying that he would become a great scholar in the future.

This is the propaganda of the Grand Master of Zhili Province. In the scholar circle, one sentence is worth a thousand words from others. There is no way to deal with it, because he is the King of Hell above all the scholars in the province.

Even if you have no control over the juren and jinshi, if you offend them and they are your juniors, you can only endure it.

When the Eighth Talented Scholar saw Xu Qing, who came with the new Inspector, his eyes turned red.

In the imperial examinations, they were considered Xu Qing's predecessors, having passed the examinations to become scholars a few years earlier. However, each of them, the youngest of them was already in his thirties, and still had not become a juren.

Recently, I heard that Xu Qing set up a "Fushe", which had a great influence on ordinary scholars, and some of them were jealous and distorted.

He Zhifu didn't care what the Eight Talents were thinking, and took the initiative to greet Wu Xun'an. He didn't care at all, as he was still Wu Xun'an's superior.

In an instant, the identities were reversed. He Zhifu was able to bend his waist so easily that Xu Qing could not help but admire him.

With the flexible and resilient character of Prefect He, he will be able to take charge of one province, let alone the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

In fact, Prefect He was also very curious about how Inspector Wu became the Inspector Censor.

He knew that there was someone behind Inspector Wu, but he didn't expect the other party to have such great power.

Fortunately, Magistrate He did not offend anyone on a daily basis, otherwise he would have had a lot of trouble in the next year.

In theory, the Inspector-General could supervise the officials of the entire Zhili Prefecture, so a mere prefect would be no problem for him.

Prefect He invited Inspector Wu and Xu Qing to the table. Everyone took their seats in turn. Then many beautiful girls came in, and the last one to appear was an otaku.

I have to say that the quality of the last courtesan to enter the venue was very high. I heard that she came from Yingtian Prefecture to visit a friend and happened to meet Magistrate He who was treating her.

The local prefect has invited me, so I have to come.

"I am Su Lianqing, and I am honored to meet you two adults..."

Su Lianqing looked at everyone, but her eyes stayed on Xu Qing for a long time.

For some reason, when Xu Qing saw Su Lianqing, he felt that the other person's eyes were a little familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen her before.

With his memory, he would never have this sense of familiarity if he had never met the person before, but he couldn't remember, which made Xu Qing secretly puzzled.

He was a careful man. He felt something was fishy and certainly didn't want to ignore it, so he simply used absolute concentration to search his memory.

In a moment, I finally found out where the familiarity in the other person's eyes came from.

"It's her." Xu Qing was shocked.
