Xihe County is the largest county within a radius of dozens of miles, and the degree of prosperity is naturally not comparable to that of the small Liujia Village.

The sky had just dawned, and Chen Tianze, who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, was already standing at the gate of Xihe County, raising his head and looking at the plaque at the gate of the city, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Ten years later, Chen Tianze finally took his first step.

There are a lot of people coming and going at the gate of the city, most of them are farmers from the surrounding villages, and they are in a hurry to sell their own vegetables and fruits.

Of course, occasionally one or two well-dressed wealthy people who rode by only glanced at this fool standing at the gate of the city, and then walked away.

This kind of bridge only appears in various biographies. How can there be so many high-ranking people in the small Xihe County. Besides, Chen Tianze's turtle-like dress and stupid smile with his teeth bared really don't look like a cow who has never met talents.

Xihe County is not big, but it is not small to say that it is small.

Chen Tianze asked for directions in the city for a long time before finding the adjudicator's branch in Xihe County. Of course, by asking for directions along the way, Chen Tianze also carefully observed the attitude of the people of Xihe County towards the adjudicator.

Like Liujiacun, when the people who came and went heard the three words of the adjudicator in Chen Tianze's mouth, they got a look of surprise and respect, especially when they heard Chen Tianze say that he was going to report, those who pointed the way consciously ignored Chen Tianze's dress and couldn't wait to carry Chen Tianze to the branch in person.

When he arrived at the adjudicator's branch, Chen Tianze couldn't help but be shocked.

I saw that the branch residence of the so-called adjudicator Xihe County was an extremely luxurious mansion, especially the two pairs of big lions at the door, which were even more magnificent.

"Obediently rumbling hole, a small branch can make such a big battle!" Chen Tianze muttered a few times before stepping forward and knocking on the door.

In fact, Chen Tianze couldn't understand why he was engaged in such a big battle, but the door was closed in broad daylight, could it be that Chengdu went out?

After a few knocks, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man with a beard and a very burly body. After seeing Chen Tianze, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice with a straight face: "This brother, who are you looking for?"

Chen Tianze smiled, hurriedly bowed down and said, "In Xia Chen Tianze, from Liujia Village, the Nine Rank Adjudicator came to report. ”

The big man was stunned again, but this time he didn't keep a straight face, but split his mouth and directly punched Chen Tianze, which startled Chen Tianze.

Fortunately, Chen Tianze's ability to resist attacks was strong, and the strong man didn't exert much strength, so Chen Tianze didn't have to be embarrassed.

"Brother Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come. Without waiting for Chen Tianze to continue to react, the bearded man put his arm around Chen Tianze, pulled him into the courtyard without saying anything, and closed the door with his hand.

Chen Tianze was shocked, what does this door mean? Could it be that he made a mistake?

The big man caught a glimpse of Chen Tianze looking back at the closed door, and said with a smile: "I said you kid, alas, it's not right." Brother Chen, don't panic, our adjudicators have never been able to contact outsiders, and the closing of the door in broad daylight is also for confidentiality, after all, the adjudicator's identity is special. ”

Chen Tianze rolled his eyes wildly, Damn! In Xihe County, everyone seems to know the location of the adjudicator's branch, and this can be called a luxurious and extravagant courtyard, and it is not obvious to tell others that people here are stupid and quick to rob!

"By the way, my name is Zhao Yi, the Eight-Rank Adjudicator, and I will be your immediate boss in the future. The bearded man patted Chen Tianze's shoulder with a smile, almost slapping Chen Tianze to the ground.

Chen Tianze hurriedly stabilized his body, smiled shyly and said: "It turned out to be Brother Zhao, I have been looking up for a long time, and the younger brother will have to rely on Brother Zhao's care in the future." ”

As he spoke, Chen Tianze also took out a little bit of broken silver from his sleeve, and was about to stuff it into Zhao Yi's hand.

The big man named Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse, and seemed to casually stuff the silver into his pocket, laughing and said: "You kid, I heard that you are smart and capable, don't worry, follow me to definitely eat and drink spicy." ”

Chen Tianze smiled and nodded hurriedly.

It is not a secret that low-grade adjudicators are in the Sacred Continent, because their cultivation is low, and they are in contact with some low-level tasks, so naturally there is no such thing as secrecy. Chen Tianze already knew this, and even before he went to Xihe County, he had asked Lao Qu to inquire about all the low-grade adjudicators in Xihe County.

There are a total of two seventh-grade adjudicators in Xihe County, and there are only seven eighth-grade adjudicators, as for the nine-grade adjudicators everywhere, there are more than twenty people, not counting the necessary nine-rank adjudicators in every village below.

As for this Zhao Yi, he is naturally the best among the Eight Rank Adjudicators, it is said that when he was young, he practiced some tricks with a master, although he failed to enter the Meng Mist Realm, but he was also much stronger than the ordinary Bai Ding Realm.

Of course, this Zhao Yi has a big temperament, likes to drink, and is idle on weekdays, but his character is not bad, and he is also extremely righteous in acting as a person.

This made Chen Tianze feel a lot more relieved.

The next step is to go through some handover formalities and arrange accommodation.

There is only Zhao Yi alone in such a large courtyard at the moment, so naturally there is no shortage of Chen Tianze's residence, and Chen Tianze gave Zhao Yi a big meeting gift as soon as he came up, and naturally he did not suffer any trouble.

Chen Tianze was arranged in an independent courtyard, and next door was Zhao Yi's residence. For this reason, Chen Tianze secretly congratulated himself for a long time.

It was only after a turn that I realized that most of the adjudicators in the adjudicator branch were locals, and most of the time the adjudicators were away from home except for special tasks, and they would not stay here.

As for his immediate boss Zhao Yi, he chose to stay because he had no money to go out and mess around. Because I stayed here, I didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Of course, what made Chen Tianze even more troublesome was that there were seven eighth-grade adjudicators and more than twenty ninth-grade adjudicators in the Xihe County Adjudicator Branch, but Zhao Yi was the only one under him.

Chen Tianze, who knew the truth, wanted to die.

After taking care of everything, Zhao Yi hurriedly ran over, pulled Chen Tianze and said with a smile: "I said you kid, let's take the wind and wash the dust on the first day today, let's take a walk, Brother Zhao will take you out for a good meal." ”

Chen Tianze pretended to be flattered, and hurriedly nodded: "Brother Lao Zhao, I am the east today, I must invite Brother Zhao to have a good meal as a teacher's ceremony!"

"I said you kid, it's really good!" Zhao Yi laughed, and almost slapped Chen Tianze to the ground again.

Chen Tianze hurriedly stood up, grinned and said, "Big brother, can you do it lightly next time, brother, I can't stand it." ”

When Zhao Yi heard this, he was even more happy, but he didn't do it again.

A low-grade adjudicator like Zhao Yi has no power or power, and he is naturally happy to be praised by others, as for Chen Tianze, who has no background and no ability, he can't get along without sycophants, Chen Tianze knows this better than anyone else.

said that he wanted to have a good meal, but the place where Zhao Yi took Chen Tianze was a small restaurant, with only five or six tables, and there were no guests except Chen Tianze and Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi seemed to be very familiar with the boss, and after sitting down, Zhao Yi just said the old rules, and the boss went to the kitchen with a smile.

Zhao Yi, who was sitting on the chair, took a sip of tea that could fade out of the birds, and then spoke: "I said you kid, you also saw it today, our Xihe County Adjudicator Branch is like this, and we are cold to death on weekdays, but we are also serious adjudicators, who in Xihe County doesn't look up at us." ”

"What Brother Zhao said is. Chen Tianze nodded hurriedly.

"What about I, Zhao Yi, I don't have a big ability, but I can do it a little, the other eight-grade adjudicators are all eggs, and I, Zhao Yi, can overturn them all with one hand, so if you follow me, even if you follow the right person, if you have difficulties in the future, find Brother Zhao!" Zhao Yi laughed, not taboo at all.

Next, Zhao Yi talked about the situation in Xihe County in general, some of which Chen Tianze had known in advance, and some of which Chen Tianze had heard of for the first time.

Like all counties, some petty lawsuits are handled by the yamen, which means that the boss on the surface is still the county guard of Xihe County. This is something that even the seven-grade adjudicators who are coaxing the bull do not dare to make a mistake.

As for the existence of the adjudicator, he is responsible for some small matters that are not suitable for the surrounding officials, and the seven-grade adjudicator has become the leader.

There are two seven-rank adjudicators in Xihe County, one is Sun Chun, whom Chen Tianze has already seen, and the other is called Yan Xin, the two have always been at odds, and they also have their own factions under their hands. Of course, Zhao Yi is a strange person and does not belong to any faction, which has led to his current loneliness.

Of course, even so, any adjudicator is quite respected in Xihe County, like the big mansion of the adjudicator's branch, which was built with donations from some wealthy people in Xihe County. When talking about this, Zhao Yi looked quite proud.

But Chen Tianze subconsciously frowned, it turned out that the so-called adjudicator was not the same as an ordinary yamen, eating people with short mouths and short hands, and there might be something else to do behind his back.

The owner of the restaurant quickly served a few dishes, all of which looked pretty good.

Zhao Yi beckoned Chen Tianze to move his chopsticks, and drank by himself with a wine glass.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door.

What Chen Tianze was most worried about still happened, only to see Sun Chun, who had been to Liujia Village before, appear at the door, followed by several familiar adjudicators.

"Yo, did you eat this just here?" Sun Chun squinted and looked directly at Chen Tianze.

Zhao Yi was startled, stood up, and said softly, "I've seen Master Sun." ”

Even Zhao Yi was like this, how dare Chen Tianze make a mistake, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Sun Chun waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Chen, don't say hello to me when you arrive, so that I can do my best as a landlord." Also, Zhao Yi, you are not righteous, and you don't look for me when you drink with your brother?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhao Yi smiled and waved his hand to signal the boss to add a table.

"Brother Chen, the brothers in Xihe County have all heard of the big incident that you slaughtered a century-old saber-toothed tiger by yourself, and the brothers are very impressed, tell the brothers about it, so that the brothers can have a long experience." Sun Chun sat on a chair with several adjudicators, picked up the teacup and smiled.

Chen Tianze was shocked in his heart, this guy really was still thinking about another tiger tooth.

"yes, let the big guy see it. ”

A cold voice came, and Chen Tianze obviously noticed that Sun Chun, who was still full of smugness just now, shook his hand holding the cup.

Raising his head, several more people appeared at the door.

At the head was a slender but cold young man, followed by several adjudicators.

Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper also shuddered for a moment, and hid in the kitchen on the pretext of cooking.

Chen Tianze reacted instantly, this guy should be Yan Xin, another seven-rank adjudicator.

In the small hotel, the two groups of people seemed a little crowded, but the atmosphere in the hotel was extremely cold.

Chen Tianze couldn't help but secretly complain, now it's okay, he has become a bird, waiting to be beaten.
