Today's Jiangshao Mansion has become one of the most important places in Jiangzhou, and as the most important administrative organ in Jiangzhou, it is naturally heavily guarded.

The strength of a regiment of the Jiangzhou garrison was guarded here.

Around Jiangshao Mansion, beggars and even rickshaw drivers did not linger.

A car stopped at the gate of Jiang Shao's mansion, and a young man walked out, accompanied by another young man with a sword, and slowly walked up the steps.

"Stop! What for? An officer standing guard at the door asked.

"Hello, I want to see Lord Wang." The youth replied.

"You want to see Lord Wang?" The officer took a large look at the young man's dress, "Lord Wang has a lot of opportunities, how can I have time to meet a guy like you?" Go and go, where it's cool and where to stay. ”

The young man was not annoyed, took out a money ticket from his arms, and asked with a smile, "Can't you be accommodating?" ”

"Eh, eh! Don't play this with me! The non-commissioned officer pointed at Zhou Ruocheng and said, "The indicator has just been put down, no one can take bribes, if you continue like this, I will find someone to bomb you!" ”

The handsome young man standing on the side frowned and stared at him.

"What are you looking at?" The non-commissioned officer raised his chin coaxingly, "Don't think that you can do anything to me if you stare at me. If you are in a hurry, you will be put in prison. ”

The young man on one side stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, we know, Lord Wang is busy now, let's come back to disturb another day." ”

Seeing these two young men walking down, the non-commissioned officer pouted when he looked at them, "The person wearing it looks like a dog, and at first glance it is a gentleman, and he wants to see Lord Wang." ”

At this time, a group of people came out of the door, led by a girl who looked at the non-commissioned officer, "What are you muttering outside?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that two sons came, and they asked to see Lord Wang, and I had to send them away." The non-commissioned officer said.

The two of them were just about to get into the car, when they heard someone behind them calling, "May I ask if the person who is here is Zhou Ruocheng's son?" ”

The young man turned around and saw Miss Wang Luoning from Jiang Shao Mansion and her personal maid, standing in front of the door looking at them.

"It's really Mr. Zhou." The maid said.

The name Zhou Ruocheng is also known to everyone in Jiangshao Mansion, and when the non-commissioned officer heard that this young man was Zhou Ruocheng, he immediately felt bad.

Wang Luoning looked at Zhou Ruocheng, but he didn't say hello at the first time, but nodded coldly.

"Mr. Zhou, are you here to meet the master?" The maid asked.

"Eh, exactly, may I ask Lord Wang if he has time at this time?" Zhou Ruocheng stepped forward and asked.

"The master is working in the study now, if you go to report it, he is still willing to see you, you wait, I will report it now." The maid said and walked in.

Zhou Ruocheng walked up the steps, thanked the maid, and stood at the door.

The stupid non-commissioned officer and Zhang Qing, who was not there, could be ignored, and Zhou Ruocheng and Wang Luoning had now entered a very embarrassing realm.

"Miss Wang, how are you doing?" In the end, Zhou Ruocheng couldn't help it a little and greeted Wang Luoning.

"Xie Zhou Gongzi is worried, Ning'er is very good." Wang Luoning replied.

Even the master didn't call him anymore, even if he was really a little estranged from himself, Zhou Ruocheng thought so, and after thinking about it, he really scared Wang Luoning at that time, and he felt a little indebted in his heart, "Miss Wang, I was really angry at that time, if I look for you, I'll accompany you here." Zhou Ruocheng saluted Wang Luoning.

"It's okay Zhou Gongzi, this matter has passed, and Ning Er didn't take it to heart." Wang Luoning replied.

Doesn't that look like it's fine? Zhou Ruocheng muttered in his heart, and wanted to say something, but Wang Luoning took the initiative to post it before, but now he suddenly turned on the offensive and found that he and Wang Luoning actually had no common language.

So it's just like that? Zhou Ruocheng thought so.

It was also at this time that the maid came back, "Mr. Zhou, the master already knows, he asked you to go directly to his study to find him." ”

"Thank you so much." Zhou Ruocheng saluted again and looked at the two of them, "What, are you going out?" ”

"Yes." The maid replied.

"It's not peaceful outside, so it's better for the two girls to be careful." Zhou Ruocheng kindly reminded.

Wang Luoning glanced at Zhou Ruocheng with squinted eyes, and then walked down, the maid and Zhou Ruocheng returned the salute, and then hurried 2 to keep up with Wang Luoning's pace.

Wang Luoning's abnormality, even Zhang Qing could see it, "Young Master, Miss Wang doesn't seem to be very kind to you." ”

"I know it without you saying it." Zhou Ruocheng smiled, and then walked to the house.

Lord Wang's study, which was originally a large study, is now divided in the middle, and there are about a dozen people sitting outside in the papers, busy back and forth, and the phone calls are non-stop.

One of the guys closest to Zhou Ruocheng saw him come in, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Oh, next week, I'm here to see Lord Wang." Zhou Ruocheng saluted.

"Are you Zhou Ruocheng?" The man looked at Zhou Ruocheng and asked.

The tone of this sentence was not high, but everyone in the outer hall stopped and looked at Zhou Ruocheng, who was still saluting.

Zhou Ruocheng was a little embarrassed by the recipient's gaze from all directions, and smiled, "It's exactly below." ”

But in the next second, everyone returned to their previous work progress.

"Lord Wang is in the back office, if you want to see him, just go in." After saying that, the man also buried his head in his work.

Zhou Ruocheng nodded, and then cautiously walked through the gap between the two tables, for fear of stepping on something or touching something, and finally came to the front of the room, Zhou Ruocheng took a deep breath, and then began to knock on the door.

Soon someone in the door responded, "Please come in." ”

Zhou Ruocheng walked in, and then saw a middle-aged man with a beard and bright eyes working there.

If there is any biggest change in Lord Wang, it is that the round face and beer belly that were originally wide and fat after retirement seem to be gone, and the somewhat silly Wang Governor has now become a shrewd and capable Lord Wang.

Lord Wang glanced up at Zhou Ruocheng, his eyes returned to the document, and then he picked up the official seal, printed it on the back of the document, and put it aside. "You're here?"

Zhou Ruocheng felt that he saluted, "Xiaomin Zhou Ruocheng, please meet Lord Wang." ”

"Okay, you don't have to talk to me about these useless things." Lord Wang waved his hand, let Hou take another document over, and began to look at it himself.

"I just came out of it today, so I came to meet you." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"I heard that when you were in prison, you were still building with the prison warden, and you really can't be idle." Lord Wang said.

"I also know what Jiangzhou is now, so I want to do my best to make up for my mistakes a little." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Fault?" Lord Wang looked up at Zhou Ruocheng again and sneered, "Do you think that the mistakes you made can be rewarded for this action?" ”

Find someone to bow their heads, "It's not... ”

Governor Wang shook his head, "Because of your negligence, the overall economic level of Jiangzhou has dropped to twenty years ago!" The total economic loss reached more than 600,000 taels of gold! Until now, even for a long time, I've had to wipe your ass for your fault! He patted the document in front of him.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"If a sorry word is useful, then what else do you want to catch quickly?" Governor Wang asked.

"But... No, Lord Wang, I just came out. Zhou Ruocheng replied with some embarrassment.

"You don't give me a poor mouth! Didn't I know you just came out! Now I'm teaching you a lesson! You're a civilian now! And I'm an official! You have to listen to me when I educate you! Got it! Lord Wang suddenly said loudly.

"Understood, understood." Zhou Ruocheng nodded as if pounding garlic, and stood there obediently.

"Do you now know what the consequences of what you've done?" Lord Wang asked.

"I knew it from the beginning." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"Then why are you doing it?" Lord Wang asked again.

"Because I can't get angry." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"A sentence of anger can explain what you did? Don't forget your great officer! "King

The grown-up said loudly.

"But my lord, I'm no longer an official." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

Such an answer also made Wang Zhifu stunned: "Zhou Ruocheng, you still don't know how to repent." ”

"My lord, I don't think I did anything wrong." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"You are still obsessed, have you listened to everything I just said to you in vain? Or are you just here to be angry with me? Lord Wang's voice was a little higher.

"No, but if I want to say it, I really didn't think of any other way at that time, and you also saw what happened to me, now that I have no official position, I will directly become worthless, and the sentries at the door will not wait to see me." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Think twice before doing things, this is a big lesson, warning you not to be too reckless." Lord Wang said.

"My lord, I also said, if it is an ordinary problem, I can bear it, but if it involves my family, then I really can't tolerate it, anyway, you can see the way I am powerful, and I won't explain much." Zhou Ruocheng said.

Lord Wang looked at Zhou Ruocheng and looked at it for a long time, "Maybe you're really not suitable to be an official... ”

"I also said, I'm not the material to be an official in the first place, if I really can, I want to be a gentleman or something." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Do you want to educate the next generation to serve the country?" Lord Wang asked.

"No, it's a mixed eating and squatting to death." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"You came to Jiang Shao Mansion to find me to talk to me about these cool words?" Lord Wang asked.

"No, I just want to say that now Jiangzhou is in ruins, and at this time there is a need for an intermediate force in faith, the Kowloon Sect is a good choice, and Jiang Hao is also back now, you can start from this aspect to stabilize the mood of the people first, and then go further... Zhou Ruocheng said.

"I don't need you to say it, these have already been implemented." Lord Wang said.

"Huh? Implemented? Who's out of the eye? Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"Isn't that you?" Lord Wang looked at Zhou Ruocheng suspiciously: "You forgot your own order?" ”

"When did I give this order?" Zhou Ruocheng was also a little confused.

"That Su Wan'er, I took the initiative to come to me when you went in, and used the name of the Nine Dragons Sect to carry out charitable donations and relief for the victims, and it just so happened that Jiang Hao really wanted to correct his image, so this matter has been implemented very quickly, and now the number of people who believe in the Nine Dragons Sect has gradually increased." Lord Wang said, "Zhou Ruocheng, I have to say that what you think about this step is really good. ”

"Ah, Su Wan'er... Is she okay now? Zhou Ruocheng was thinking about who was indeed missing, only to remember that Su Wan'er really didn't come to see him.

"It can only be said that now as the main person in charge of the activities of the Kowloon Sect, she has resigned from her original work and is doing things for the Kowloon Sect wholeheartedly, and it is really not easy for a woman to have such great courage." Lord Wang said.

"It's still like this." Zhou Ruocheng muttered.

"Zhou Ruocheng, I have to say, although it is really inappropriate to say that you did the right thing before, but from another point of view, you did it right1, at least you pulled out the two big nails in Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou, now it is back to the original point, fortunately, the starting point is good, the systems you left before have already left the general direction for the next work, you are too practical and blame yourself, you have done a good job." Lord Wang said.

"In that case, why did you scold me just now, my lord?" Zhou Ruocheng asked rhetorically.

“。。。” Lord Wang was stunned again: "I scolded you to give you a wake-up!" Prevent you from doing such stupid things again! ”

"No, no, no, you see what I am now? Where is there still the kind of confidence that I had before, and I thought more about Lord Wang. Zhou Ruocheng waved his hand, "In this case, I will also retire today." ”

"Zhou Ruocheng!" Looking at the back of Zhou Ruocheng walking out, Lord Wang said again.

Zhou Ruocheng looked back at him.

"Don't regret what you have done before, people have to look forward, and you still have a long way to go." Lord Wang said.

Zhou Ruocheng smiled, waved his hand, walked out of the room, and closed the door.
