I proved immortality through the imperial examination.

Chapter 79 The Difference Between Officials and Commoners
Wang Anshi said, "Isn't that why I'm here?"

"What, there's still room for negotiation?"

Ding Chunxia perked up, "What's Xue's plan?"

Wang Anshi shook his head. "He has no set procedure. What he means is that if you are sincere, you should pay a deposit first, and we can talk about the rest later."

Ding Chunxia was amused and said loudly, "Who does he think he is? The newly appointed magistrate of Suiyang Town?"

He is the magistrate of Suiyang Town, but I am not afraid of him.

My sect has three hundred members and two major trading companies. The town's spiritual rice, earthwork, demolition and construction, freight, and spiritual item trading are all under my control.

He has people in Yunmeng, but I have no one in Yunmeng?

Tell him that if he's willing to talk, I'll keep him company.

"If he wants me to help him out of his immediate predicament, he has to show some willingness first."

Wang Anshi said, "He won't have an attitude."

He told me that if I didn't pay the deposit, he would immediately transfer funds from Yunmeng.

"What nonsense! Does a room leader have that kind of influence?"

Ding Chunxia didn't believe it at all.

Wang Anshi asked, "Has Sect Leader Ding heard the news from Yun Jian?"

"I know, and I also know it was someone surnamed Xue who orchestrated this. So what? No matter how high the newspaper's sales are, how much money can you make?"

"Cloud News is now being distributed throughout Canaan County, and this year's advertising expenses have exceeded one thousand spirit stones."

Furthermore, the shareholders of Yunjian Message are almost all powerful families throughout Yunmeng City and even Canaan County.

"Sect Leader Ding, do you think Chief Xue can secure the funds?"

"If he's capable of being transferred, let him go. Why is he showing off to me?"

Ding Chunxia was a little annoyed. "At worst, I'll just give up on the shops at the ferry crossing. My current businesses are enough for me to manage."

"If I can't afford to offend this sect leader, can't I at least avoid him?"

Wang Anshi said, "You are a commoner, he is an official. If he wants to get rid of you, where can you hide?"

"Be bold!"

Ding Chunxia slammed his fist on the table and stood up, “I am the head of the Kaishan Sect, with hundreds of followers.”

"He is an official, in charge of eleven offices, and commands over a hundred soldiers. He can apply to be transferred to the Yunmeng Guard at any time."

"I have thirteen fugitives."

“He is an official. Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion, which will inevitably lead to the destruction of his family.”

"I, I'm not going to associate with him at all."

"He's an official; if he wants to associate with you, you have no choice but to associate with him."

When I arrived, he told me that Lao Tong had gone to attend a refresher course.

The town is also going to hold a training course, inviting all those people who always loiter around the law to come in and learn something, something called legal education. You're the first choice.

"hiss."

Ding Chunxia gasped, then shouted angrily, "Is there no justice left? Is there no law? How can someone abuse their power to this extent? Is there no one to stop them?"

“It’s no use shouting. Director Xue said that attending the town’s legal education class will not help you.”

He then instructed the Seventh Academy to create a special educational month on legitimate business practices tailored specifically for you.

By the way, Director Xue came from the Seventh Institute; everyone knows he used to be Chief Secretary Xie's personal secretary.

"He, he, he's a monk holding an umbrella..."

Ding Chunxia flew into a rage, "Nonsense!"

"Sect Leader, please calm down."

"I'm not afraid of anyone."

Ding Chunxia roared at the top of her lungs, "Give him the deposit, give him the deposit... And go, go dig that little bastard Ding Peng out of the flower shop. From today onwards, he's not allowed to leave the house. He'll have to study hard and study like a dog."

"If he dares to run around like this again until he gets a degree in the imperial examinations, I'll break his legs..."

Half a cup of tea later, Wang Anshi left carrying a bulging bundle. Having dealt with Ding Chunxia countless times, this was the first time he had discovered such a straightforward side to this meticulous old man.

After seeing Wang Anshi off, Hu Kan returned to Wanghai Residence.

Chunxia, ​​still seething with anger, stared coldly at Hu Kan and said, "Two methods."

First, give the order: let the men get into a frenzy and turn Suiyang upside down. Let's see how that Xue fellow manages to clean up the mess.
Second, bleed a little more and get on Hong Zhangyin's good side. Even if we don't take down that Xue guy, we should at least give him a good beating.

"Damn it, I can't let some brat shit and pee on my head."

"Sect Leader, please don't be hasty."

Hu Kan said, "There's something fishy about this. Everyone knows that the Xue guy has Xie's palm print sticking out behind his back."

The key point is that even Chief Secretary Xie can't just arbitrarily transfer the First and Second Affiliated Hospitals, right?

Besides, Master Hong and Master Xie are at odds; there's something fishy going on here. We mustn't act rashly before we figure things out.”

Ding Chunxia took a deep breath and instructed Hu Kan to investigate immediately.

Two hours later, Hu Kan hurried back to Wanghai Residence and rushed towards Ding Chunxia with the speed of the wind. "I've figured it out. What a close call! This guy surnamed Xue is actually from the Xue family of Jiangzuo."

Which Xue family from Jiangzuo?

"It's the Xue family, the one that produced nine scholars who passed the imperial examinations."

"sky!"

Ding Chunxia gasped, "Is this even human? What is this dragon cub doing in this shallow pit in Suiyang? Is it just to trick me?"

Thankfully I stayed calm, otherwise, it would have been a huge disaster.

Hu Kan's eyes gleamed. "Sect Leader, dealing with Xue Xiang is both dangerous and an opportunity."

The fact that he asked Wang Anshi to collect the money, which he called a deposit, is enough to prove that he also intended to manage the shops at the ferry crossing.

Even if we suffer some losses, if we rely on him, will we still have a bright future?

Ding Chunxia seemed to be deep in thought.

…………

"Hot pot is here!"

Fan Youyi brought a pot full of braised pork hock and lotus root to the table.

Zhang took the initiative to serve the food to everyone, while Xue Xiang comforted the aggrieved Xiao Shi.

Having temporarily stabilized the situation in Room Eleven, Xue Xiang immediately took Liu Mei back to Yunmeng.

Instead of going home first, he took gifts and went to visit Xie Haiya and Wei Yang.

The main purpose was to visit Wei Yang and his wife.

This time, in Suiyang Town, he remotely borrowed a sword to quell the chaos in the Eleventh Chamber, entirely thanks to Wei Yang's powerful connections.

He reviewed the case files, found the flawed case, reported it to Wei Yang, Wei Yang approved it, and then the people from the First Affiliated Hospital came.

As for whether the people from the First Academy could investigate clearly, Xue Xiang didn't care. What he wanted was for these old foxes like Tong Sheng, Zhang Leng, and Liu Xiao not to interfere with his governance.

Once he has consolidated the Eleventh Chamber, these people will be able to cause no trouble when they return, and besides, most of them will probably never come back.

When he arrived at the Wei residence, Wei Yang was not home, but Madam Wei was.

The teacher's wife is stunningly beautiful, with an irresistible mature charm. When the hot-blooded students visit, she is busy in the kitchen. Xue Xiang has seen this series before, but he doesn't dare to play himself.

Even though his teacher's wife warmly invited him to stay for dinner, Xue Xiang only dared to talk for a while in the courtyard.

Of course, while he brought new replies from readers to Mrs. Wei, she did not disappoint him.

He said that Wei Yang was helping him plan to become the acting head of Suiyang Town, and that he should strive to achieve some results in the near future so that Wei Yang could speak on his behalf at the next meeting of the Head of the Temple.

Xue Xiang was overjoyed.

He knew that he was too inexperienced and lacked the necessary qualifications to be appointed as the commander of Suiyang Town.

That idea had long since died in his mind.

But Wei Yang's appointment as acting head gave Xue Xiang hope again.

Acting as the head of the seal is still a seal.
