"Mr. Zhou, great kindness!"
Some people in the city also speculated that the incident at Shijia Villa was probably caused by an evil spirit. Although the seven brothers spoke a little roughly on weekdays, they were sensible and loyal. How could they do such an unfilial thing?
So they didn't dare to go there easily. Now that they heard Zhou Kao say that the monster had been eliminated, the detectives went ahead and went to Shijia Villa to investigate.
This is mainly because the county magistrate of Shi County is not stupid. He would not miss out on such ready-made political achievements.
It’s a pity that Zhou Kao was a student from Beiguo County. If this was from Shi County, it would be really beautiful.
If talented people emerge under your rule, your official reputation will also become famous.
Fame can gather national fortune and increase its weight.
"Reputation" is very important, even if it is to suppress and kill demons,
Fame, fame can reach the sky, and hope can gather momentum.
Famous officials are better than unknown ones.
But unfortunately, Zhou Kao was not from Shi County, so the county magistrate naturally had no interest in coming forward and asked the county magistrate to come over to go through the procedures and express his condolences to Zhou Kao.
Yao Wenjie, the second-in-command of Shi County, didn't think too much about it. After all, it was hard work with no benefits. When he met Zhou Kao, he said politely, "After the snake infestation at Shi Family Villa is investigated, the reward will be..."
"Ai!"
Zhou Kao interrupted the county magistrate, appearing very rude.
"What are you talking about, County Magistrate Yao? I'm definitely not exorcising demons for the bounty!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Yao Wenjie was not unhappy about being interrupted. Instead, he appreciated Zhou Kao's straightforwardness because it did not mean that Zhou Kao was rude.
But then again, Zhou Kao turned around and said.
"But after the investigation, the reward will be sent to Xiaohe Village in Beiguo County. I live in a private house. Don't make a mistake."
Only profitable justice can spread widely and be followed in practice. Only such justice is solid and stable. Too noble justice, without widespread practice and imitation, is weak.
This was certified by Confucius himself.
"..."
Zhou Kao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He felt justified in thinking that what belonged to him was his.
"Perhaps we'll have some results in two or three days. It would be better if Yixian stayed in Youshi County for a few days."
Zhou Kao waved his hand and said to Yao Wenjie.
"No, I still have to send someone to the East China Sea. I've wasted a lot of time on the journey. The Autumn Examination is coming soon, so I need to hurry."
"makes sense."
The most important thing for a scholar is that it cannot be delayed. Seeing Zhou Kao's straightforwardness, Yao Wenjie also wanted to make friends with him, so he said, "Wait for me to order the East Gate Post Station to prepare horses. Bring me a letter and you can use the official horses. Their running strength will be much better."
"Thank you, County Magistrate Yao!"
Zhou Kao was overjoyed and quickly bowed.
Hit the snake directly with the stick.
It won’t work if you don’t agree.
The two horses from Bishui County have been exhausted in the past two days. They have been traveling back and forth between Shijia Villa and the county seat. They are not thousand-mile horses, so they definitely need a rest.
Now that the second master of Shi County has given me a convenient position, it is really a timely relief.
"As long as it's within my ability, Yixian, please feel free to ask."
"Then I won't be polite. I really have something that I need the County Magistrate's help with!"
"..."
Yao Wenjie's face twitched. He said what he meant. He just said it casually, but he never expected that Zhou Yixian from Beiguo County... didn't care much about the occasion (he was so shameless).
Zhou Kao, however, ignored all that and said directly, "County Magistrate Yao, I was able to catch the monster this time thanks to the cat from Beihai Academy. I'd like to write a letter of engagement and invite it to work as a guard at my home. I'm still a scholar, so I'm afraid my status is low, so I'd like to ask County Magistrate Yao to be a middleman and guarantee me."
The little Tai Sui cooperated by meowing a few times.
Although Yueying had already told Zhou Kao this, Zhou Kao still had to be polite himself.
Anyway, this is a serious matter.
Second only to being married in a formal ceremony.
After hearing Zhou Kao's request, Yao Wenjie was obviously relieved.
"It's just a cat..."
Zhou Kao retorted confidently.
"That's no ordinary cat. It's completely white, with a black dragon crouching on its back. It's the Fulong Taisui God! It's a divine cat!"
Hearing Zhou Kao praising the kitten so much, Yao Wenjie raised his eyebrows. Is there really such an awesome cat?
"How could Beihai Academy let such a divine cat go unattended?"
Chapter 50: Can Xiao Tai Sui transform into a cat girl with twin ponytails in the future?
Hearing County Magistrate Yao's suspicion, Zhou Kao smiled awkwardly.
Just explained.
"It's currently only working in the academy kitchen, which is really a waste of its talent."
"..."
Yao Wenjie was stunned, thinking that Zhou Yixian might have come here just to tease him. You said the cat on duty in the kitchen was a divine cat?
But on second thought, he was just a middleman anyway, and the letter of engagement was not for hiring a person, but only for hiring a cat, so he would not lose anything.
Besides, if it really was a magical cat, Beihai Academy would have publicized it long ago. Why would it have to wait until Zhou Yixian?
Maybe it was just a spur of the moment decision by the scholar.
"This is just a small matter, a piece of cake for me."
So he agreed very readily, and Yao Wenjie, who had nothing to do on weekdays, helped to write a letter of appointment. In short, it was a letter of appointment with a lot of elegant and beautiful words.
Very inspiring and touching writing.
What is it that although our Zhou family is poor, we have great ambitions; what is it that although you are a young cat, you are very talented and will have a bright future? Praising yourself and the other person will surely lead you to the peak of your life and the peak of your cat's life together.
You know what, with Yao Wenjie's help, this matter became a lot easier.
Outsiders who do not work at the Beihai Academy do not know the majesty of the kitchen lady. Even if they are scholars with honors, if they disrespect her, the rice spoon will shake three times at the very least.
"You ungrateful thing, Sanniang, I've been very kind to you, yet you're looking for a better partner. But people always strive for higher ground, and water always flows to lower places. You can't treat your home as a school anymore, running wild and scratching around..."
Sanniang from the kitchen hugged the little Tai Sui, rubbed the cat's head hard, then took off the academy's cat tag and handed it to Zhou Kao.
"Mr. Zhou, this cat is now sent to your home. Please treat me well...your little Tai Sui!!!"
"Thank you, Sanniang!!!"
Zhou Kao was overjoyed and took the little Tai Sui over.
When they were leaving, Long Tai Sui looked puzzled, tilting his head and asking Zhou Kao, "She's always been very strict (or stingy), why is she so straightforward this time?"
"I asked the county magistrate to act as an intermediary."
"She's not even afraid of the county magistrate."
Zhou Kao paused, stretched out two fingers and shook them.
"Oh, I gave you twenty taels."
"..."
Along the way, little Tai Sui's face was flushed and steaming.
"I've caught over 20 rats and over a hundred mice in the kitchen alone. I'm dedicated and conscientious..."
"When he was a guard in front of the emperor of Longshu Kingdom, he also controlled the cats, so that there were no thieves (gluttons) among the cat slaves in the country, and the kitchens and warehouses were well-stocked with food..."
"Plus, the cafeteria is cramped and crowded with students. When I'm alone, students gather in groups of three or five, all to pet my head and paw pads..."
“Twenty taels!!”
"Only twenty taels!!!"
"This woman betrayed me!"
The former royal cat of the "Longshu Kingdom" was extremely sad and angry, and his cat life was full of separation and hardships.
Betrayal, naked betrayal.
“I will definitely come back!!!”
Long Taisui sat on his horse, looked back at Youshi County, then took a deep breath, raised his head and roared: "Awoo~~~"
That woman... damn it!
Seeing Maozi so conflicted, Zhou Kao was more understanding.
The sunk costs are too high and some people are trapped.
However, what I feel most is reluctance.
Although Zhou Kao remained calm, he was in a good mood.
Fortunately, I took Yueying's words to heart, and I also saw the potential of this cat when I was eliminating the demon this time.
Whether it was talent or the thoughts in his mind, they were all to Zhou Kao's liking.
Fortunately, I didn't refuse Yueying outright at that time, otherwise, I would have missed this dragon among cats.
It would be interesting if this kitten had twin tails after transforming.
Tsundere!!!
"Come to think of it, the Lord of Longshu Nation didn't come out to see us off."
Zhou Kao found a topic, his tone sounding a little regretful. It was a big orange car, and he also wanted to touch it.
Another point is that the treasure was in front and was recovered.
The cat card still had the charm of literature, but it had to be returned. It was like losing a good weapon against the enemy.
This is what Little Tai Sui said in a serious tone.
"Your Majesty is looking for talented people. My position is a heavy responsibility and must be taken seriously."
"..."
Seeing that Long Tai Sui was quite formal, Zhou Kao was speechless and thought to himself: I really don't understand your country.
However, Zhou Kao still needs to confirm some things, such as whether Long Tai Sui can encounter monsters and transform in the future, from a kitten to a big cat.
"My magical powers are inherited from my ancestors and taught by the academy, so I can still ward off evil spirits. But now that I'm the Zhou family's house cat, it all depends on your luck and fortune."
"How to say?"
"Even though I still have the laws of my ancestors, the big deal now still depends on you, my dear. You are now a scholar, so I naturally have the skills of a scholar.
As long as a gentleman is not lost in the crowd, the reputation he accumulates by exorcising demons and monsters is also significant. If I use my tricks, I can also borrow the gentleman's reputation."
"Is this considered taking advantage of others' power?"
"..."
"Sorry, I just blurted it out."
"..."
Long Tai Sui doesn't want to talk.
It's so insulting!!
How can you compare her with those licking dogs!!!
But the logic is right.
It's two sides of the same coin.
However, after Zhou Kao confirmed this, he immediately calmed down and said, "Then I must pass the Autumn Examination! When I pass, I will first destroy the shops of several successful candidates in Beiguo County and let them know how powerful I am."
"How can you bully others by taking advantage of your power?"
