It's not easy to be an official, it's not easy to be a big official, especially a big official who has no foundation, it's even more difficult to do. Under Wang Sheng's arrangement, Ning Caichen became the same Jinhua prefect as Wang Sheng with the power of the national teacher who caused chaos in the government, but this does not mean that he is exactly the same as Wang Sheng.

"I'm so high-level, even the common people in Jinhua City look at me with a strange look, let alone those other squires and officials? The righteous despise me incomparably, the insidious bullying of me has no foundation, even the most uninvolved in the struggle for power, at this time, for the sake of their own feathers, and distance themselves from me-Mr. Lin, how much power do you think I can have? ”

Lin Mo frowned when he heard this: "Didn't Wang Sheng take you to visit many close friends?" Can't those officialdom seniors help you? ”

Ning Caichen shook his head with a wry smile: "Things gather like people and people are divided into groups, what kind of character the teacher's friend is, just look at the teacher." When that absurd order came down at the beginning, not only did the teacher angrily refute it, but the elders also did similar things. Among them, there are impulsive, and even go directly to Beijing in person, to refute it before going to the emperor in the morning! ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he suddenly frowned: "So they were also dismissed?" ”

Ning Caichen nodded: "Yes." The only exception was the old man who had been refuted by the emperor earlier, he was not only dismissed from office, but also beheaded on the spot on the charge of disrespecting His Majesty, and even his family was not spared, and they were all put in prison. ”

So the next thing can be predicted. Without the support and protection of these officialdom seniors, how much prestige can Ning Caichen, a guy who is not in a position of authority? How much real power can there be? Look at the situation when you just entered the door. Seeing the officials of the prefect's office, they don't have much respect for this prefect!

The current Ning Caichen is just a guy who has no power in the name of this prefect! To put it bluntly, it's just an embroidered pillow, which looks good! Even the various government affairs in Jinhua City were directly handled by the officials in charge of those departments, and it was not his turn to do it at all. The paperwork on the stone table didn't mean to ask for instructions at all, it was just a notice!

"Be content, that's good." Zhang Liang rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You can be the prefect at this age." It's enough to glorify the ancestors. In the future, he will be considered dead. I will also leave you a sum of money, but it can be regarded as a name in history, not much better than those of us businessmen? ”

Ning Caichen heard the words and said with a wry smile: "Famous in history or something." I don't want it. It's just a pity. I have the ambition to serve the country and govern the world. But I can't get any performance! ”

When he said this, Ning Caichen's face was full of pain, and his weather-beaten eyes also flashed with outright sadness. Not only did Zhang Liang, who wanted to comfort him, close his mouth, but also made Lin Mo's heart move, and blurted out: "There will be a chance!" ”

Ning Caichen was stunned: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Meaning, don't rush." Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, there will be a day when you will show your skills in the future." ”

Qingping Yu's cleansing of the world is a big project, no matter how much Lin Mo understands and learns, he is also a cultivator in his own job, and it is no problem to kill demons and demons, but if he really governs the world, he will definitely be blind, and professional things still depend on professionals. Therefore, if it is a qiē shun lì, Ning Caichen may have to play a great role.

However, there is no need to dwell on this matter now, after Lin Mo simply prevaricated, he turned to ask about other situations. Ning Caichen also seemed to intend to dissipate his sorrow by taking advantage of the visit of the deceased, and he no longer mentioned his sadness, but started chatting.

In this way, the three of them talked loudly, and soon in the evening, Ning Caichen led the two to leave the prefect's mansion and return home.

Unlike Wang Sheng's vast mansion, Xu Xian's residence was very shabby, a small courtyard in an ordinary alley. No, looking at this size, it is an exaggeration to describe it as a yard, it should be said that it is a tiled house with a small front yard.

Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately shook his head at Ning Caichen's situation in his heart: "It's not that he can't grasp the power of the prefect, it's just despised."

As the highest official in a place, the prefect has a way to get what he wants, and even many times, he doesn't need to say it, others will naturally give it, for example, the big mansion before Wang Sheng, that is, when he took office, many officials in Jinhua jointly gave gifts, it is said that a wealthy merchant in the middle of the road wants to develop his hometown, so he urgently sold it at a very low price, which is not worth much at all - this is of course just a face-saving statement, but it is a result that both parties are happy to see. And Ning Caichen's small tiled house was mostly bought by himself at his own expense.

In fact, the situation is worse than Lin Mo thought: this tiled house was not bought by Ning Caichen, it was rented by him with his own money, and he has no money to buy a house now!

After learning about this situation, Lin Mo immediately wanted to use some alchemy to improve Ning Caichen's life. But Ning Caichen refused: "Mr. Lin, although my life is poor now, and there are many tribulations, they are all good things that I should experience and can sharpen my mind." I believe that only in this way can I use what I have learned to serve my family and country! ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he was immediately amazed and never mentioned it again. So the three of them chatted for a while, and then separated: Ning Caichen's tiled house only had a wooden bed, and three people could not live at the same time.

"Mr. Lin, let's go back to Jinbang Tower." Out of Ning Caichen's house, Zhang Liang looked back with a sigh, and said, "It's not too early, it's time to sleep." ”

"No, go back yourself. I still have some things. ”

Zhang Liang blinked, a little puzzled by Lin Mo's refusal, but he didn't ask much, and returned to his accommodation. At this time, Lin Mo had already hidden his figure and rushed into the sky, flew out of Jinhua directly, and went out of the mountains.

"The secular situation is almost understood, and Ning Caichen's situation is also very clear, it's time to inquire about the situation of the cultivators."

Speaking of cultivators, this is still a bit difficult to find, after all, the whereabouts of cultivators are uncertain. However, to find out the situation of cultivators, it is not necessary to find cultivators, it is also possible to find demons, and as far as Lin Mo knows, there is a good object near Jinhua at the moment: the carp demon Hualong.

When he came to Jinhua before, because Zhang Liang was escorting some goods, the road he took was not the same as the road when Lin Mo went to Jinhua, and he didn't see the carp demon. After all, although Lin Mo had the intention to come to see him at that time, he was also worried that Zhang Liang would encounter some demon attacks, so he didn't take action. But now that Zhang Liang has arrived in Jinhua City, he doesn't need to worry so much, after all, a place where tens of thousands of mortals like Jinhua City gather is not a place where idle monsters say they will go.

The place where Hua Long was located was not far from Jinhua City, and in just three or two minutes, Lin Mo came to the sky above this mountain forest. He didn't hide it at the moment, and shouted directly in the air: "Hualong Daoist is there?" The deceased is visiting, please show up and see it! ”

After a while, I heard a voice sound: "It turned out to be Lin Daoyou." Before the voice fell, a figure had already risen from the mountains and forests, flew to the opposite side of Lin Mo, and arched his hand: "Lin Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" ”

I haven't seen you for a long time, but Hualong has not changed much. It is still the burly body, it is still the huge fish head, the only difference is that the fish whiskers near the mouth of the fish have changed from pale gold to pure gold, and it is quite extraordinary to float around.

"Hua Daoyou's cultivation has improved, congratulations."

The carp demon Hualong is following the path of blood refining, and any change in the demon's body represents a change in his cultivation. Compared with the original early stage of God Refining, today's Hualong seems to have gone further, and it is already in the middle stage of God Refining, and it is only one step away from entering the late stage of God Refining.

When Hua Long heard this praise, he was a little surprised: "Lin Daoyou, don't praise me, Daoyou's cultivation is the fastest way to enter the realm." Even among human practitioners, it is rare. ”

That's true. When they first met, the cultivation of the two was almost the same, both were in the stage of refining gods, but they met again after two years, Lin Mo was already in the realm of transforming into gods, but Hualong was still in the realm of refining gods, although there was a reason why Hualong was a demon with a long lifespan, it was impossible to cultivate into the realm too quickly, but Lin Mo's progress was really worthy of everyone's surprise.

But the reason for this, Lin Mo couldn't explain it, so he prevaricated casually and said, "Fellow Daoist, you and I will go down and talk in detail?" ”

Hualong had nothing to do, and immediately said: "Please come with me." (To be continued......)
