Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 119 Prefect of Styx
Magistrate Chen of Minghe County left.

Naturally, the new county magistrate had to make arrangements, but the war just broke out, and the Jing army might come again at any time, and no one wanted to come.

A hapless heavy family was arranged to come over.

Pick the persimmons softly.

If the Chong family hadn't been interrupted by Chen Yuyu, they might have been imprisoned by the censor, and the family would have been in disarray.

At this time, being assigned to Minghe County naturally did not dare to complain.

But the court also has rules.

In terms of rank, it is naturally impossible for this unlucky heavy family member to be the county magistrate of Qipin.

Although it has been dispatched, the grade is at least retained.

He was originally a fifth rank, so he was assigned to be the prefect of Styx... Well, he can manage the entire wild grassland.

When Zhong Zhi heard about this appointment, he was crying to thank the Lord for his kindness. The magistrate of Styx sounded unlucky, and at first it sounded like he was going to be sent to the underworld.

Although unwilling in every possible way, the emperor's order cannot be violated.

He still has to pack his bags and go to work on schedule.

According to the procedure, he needs to hand over to the previous official.

Now the county magistrate of Minghe County is in the Shenxue Palace in the capital.

Zhongzhi was very aggrieved, he was a dignified fifth-rank official, and he had to take the initiative to find a job with a small county magistrate.

Simply...

But apart from Xiao Guoshi, he was already the highest official of the Chong family in the imperial court. The Chong family was just an empty shell with a title. For the sake of the whole family, he had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

It's not far to apply.

The best location in Beijing.

There are strange and dangerous mountains in the back, beautiful mountains, surrounded by streams and rivers in front, separated by a river, and the bustling market is on the opposite side, which is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.

Zhongzhi went to visit Xuejian Chen, and he also did his homework. Now Xuejian Chen is a celebrity second only to the princess in the capital.

Although this heat has slowly dropped over time.

But it is amazing to have such qualifications in the officialdom.

Because he was going to take office in Minghe County, he checked the relevant information there very carefully in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, this Chen Xuejian is not only a hero, but also a good hand in governing the local area.

In just a few years, Minghe County has developed from a wild and remote small county to an important commercial town. The annual tax is no less than that of the prosperous counties around the capital.

If it wasn't for the arrival of Jing Jun, I am afraid that next year, this Minghe County will definitely become a new star of the imperial court. Many officials must rush to go there, but it is just that it will not be my turn.

Now it's just fighting for it, but I can't win it, and it falls on me, the unlucky person.

Chong Zhi is tall and tall, with a Chinese character face, long beard and black hair. He looks very attractive on the outside, but on the inside, he is average, and he can't beat those old foxes in the imperial court.

The characteristics of the Zhong family are all good-looking, very upright, with a feeling of righteousness.

Because they focus on the cultivation of their family members, children under the age of ten, who are educated, will focus on taking care of them, and then enter the palace to show to the national teacher.

After more than ten years old, it develops freely.

Perhaps it was the most glorious time of the Zhong family, the time when the national teacher was the most powerful, relying on the national teacher can live a good life, there is no need to train officials, and arouse the suspicion of the superiors.

But now, the former national teacher's whereabouts are unknown.

The new national teacher did not agree with them at all, and could not be counted on.

Therefore, the important task of revitalizing the Chong family, or the heavy responsibility of keeping the Chong family, fell on Zhong Zhi.

Early in the morning, he went to climb to apply for school.

It's not how high Shen Xue was built, but that unlucky and strange Chen Xuejian lived very high.

It is said that the dormitory building that he wanted to apply for had designated the highest and highest mountain.

He said that when the clouds clear, maybe sitting in front of the door, you can see the wilderness in the distance.

No one dares to criticize his hypocrisy, he is qualified to say so.

So Zhongzhi had no choice but to climb up by himself.

Because there is a strange rule in this application.

You are not allowed to take a car when you apply for school.

No matter how big an official is, even the emperor has to walk when he comes.

As for riding a horse, one only needs to get off the horse at the mountain gate, and then get on the horse, but this trembling mountain road requires a horse to come up.

Panting and panting, Zhongzhi finally came to the dormitory of the highest and highest mountain.

Fortunately, it is not a thatched house, but a wooden house.

Nowadays, celebrities are romantic, and with Chen Xuejian's great reputation, it is understandable to build a thatched cottage.

Zhongzhi had already prepared for the worst.

Unexpectedly, when I got to the mountain, what I saw was a small wooden house.

And the famous Chen Xuejian was wearing a coir raincoat, and he was planting vegetables with his buttocks pouted.

Next to the cabin, a neat vegetable plot was dug out.

Supervisor Chen has a dog.

When Zhongzhi came, there was no servant to greet him, but a dog jumped out and barked at him.

Chen Xuejian, who was growing vegetables with his butt up, heard the dog barking and looked back.

I wasn't very surprised to see the big man whose face was flushed and his hair was wet with mist.

"The important person is here, the humble house is simple, you sit down a bit, I'll pour you tea."

Zhong Zhi watched Chen Xuejian enter the house to pour tea, he stood outside, and saw a stone table next to the vegetable field, and a few bamboo chairs beside it, although simple, it was quite rustic, but it didn't look very strong.

He sat down carefully, and when he heard the bamboo chair creak, he was startled.

"It's okay. The chair is noisy, but it's still useful. The mountain is very foggy and humid. The bamboo chair is not bad. I'm not used to it when I come back from the wilderness." Chen Yuyu carried the water bottle and took a white cup. Grabbed a handful of tea and flushed it with hot water.

Pushed in front of Zhong Zhi.

Zhongzhi slandered inwardly, this supervisor Chen is too crude, aren't all celebrities good at making tea?Although he doesn't like drinking too much, the high mountains, heavy fog, bamboo chairs, and stone tables are just right for making tea and having long conversations.

But when he saw him make a cup for himself, and sat down in front of him, there was another "squeak".

"The water in the mountains is clean and sweet. This tea was brewed by a young man in Manhuang. It's simple but delicious. You can taste it."

Zhong Zhi listened to what he said, even if it didn't taste good, he had to pick it up and put on a show.

Besides, he was indeed thirsty.

A rough white porcelain cup, with a little tea at the bottom of the cup, the tea soup is light red.

The rim is foggy.

He was holding tea, the cup was very hot, he warmed his hands a bit, when he reached the tip of his nose, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.

Flowers are like honey.

He drank the tea in one gulp.

It's a little bitter, a little bit bitter, he frowned slightly, but the brows haven't parted yet, the bitterness has turned into sweetness.

Sweet, sweet, bursts.

There is no cup of tea, and it is getting cold slowly, but the fragrance is still there, stronger than before.

There is also an indescribable medicinal fragrance in the honey fragrance, which is lingering and lingering.

After a long time, Zhong Zhi put down his teacup, looked at Supervisor Chen, stood up, and bowed to him again.

"Master Chen, Zhongzhi is going to work in the Wilderness soon. If Master Chen has anything to tell Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke will definitely remember it."
