Chapter Thirty-Nine: Competition!
Chen Yuan glanced at Wang Ping strangely, and found that there was a look of regret on his face at this moment.
"What do you think?"
"No, nothing?" Wang Ping shook his head.
Chen Yuan's strength has always been stronger than him, they fought each other before, he was not less devastated, if Chen Yuan knew that he was arranging him in his heart, maybe he would find some excuse to fight with him.
Now that his injuries have just healed, Wang Ping doesn't want to lie in bed for a few more days.
For more than half a month, his brother has been suffocated.
"Ahem... Brother Yuan. Wang Ping moved closer slightly.
"How?"
"Listen to my father, there is a nice girl in Yanyulou in the south of the city, she used to be an oiran over there in Fucheng, but now she is older, and her business is deserted to our Ping'an County."
"Do you want to do it at night..."Wang Ping smiled.
"Anyway, people have also been Oiran, and you have so much silver?"
Wang Ping's family background is good, but it's just good, his father is a businessman and has a few shops, but it is nothing in Ping'an County, otherwise there is no need to send Wang Ping to the yamen.
The real rich families are all going to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts since they were children, or sent to the Jianghu sect in Nanling Mansion.
"Don't stay overnight, listen to a song, it won't cost much silver, because of the injury before, the yamen also gave a lot of silver that didn't spend, I invite you..."
A touch of pain flashed in Wang Ping's eyes.
Chen Yuan shook his head and said:
"I'm too old to be interested."
And she is also a fireworks woman, to be honest, Chen Yuan's interest is really not very big.
Although he hadn't washed his feet for more than a month, what Chen Yuan wanted was of high quality, so he couldn't be hungry, right?
He's no longer the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy with only a brain.
Wang Ping hurriedly said:
"Brother Yuan, although the woman is old, she can't see it at all, there are no wrinkles at all, as if the years have not left traces on her face at all."
Wang Ping's eyes showed a hint of yearning.
"The traces of time are not necessarily on the face..."Chen Yuan said softly.
"Huh? Where's that? ”
"Where the peach blossoms bloom."
“???”
......
......
Ping'an County, county government.
Today's county government is unusually calm, a group of officials perform their duties, there is no usual hustle and bustle, after Chen Yuan and Wang Ping arrived, someone looked up at them, then lowered their heads, and pretended to hold the file in their hands.
Chen Yuan and Wang Ping glanced at each other, did not break this strange calm, picked up the two volumes of files casually, and stood in an inconspicuous place.
"Brother Yuan, this..."
Wang Ping gestured with his eyes.
"I guess it's for the position of catching the head, don't talk nonsense." Chen Yuan said in a low voice.
The position of the head catcher in a room has completely entered the level of 'official', which is completely different from ordinary officials, and the status and power are not the same, and there are naturally many people who covet it.
Like Huang Xing, it is enough to support a large family.
The large and small forces in Ping'an County are also courteous to the most powerful head catcher in the county government.
For them, ordinary officials, this opportunity is equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
Although the position of head catcher is generally only held by bone refining masters, it is not without precedent for blood refining martial artists to hold it, otherwise, Chen Yuan would not have hinted at Wang Ping's words vaguely before.
If he can sit on the head catcher, Chen Yuan can easily do it in the future, whether he gets resources or other things.
These old officials who have accumulated years also think the same way.
In addition to Tie Xuan and Huang Xing, there are only two or three bone refining masters in the yamen of Ping'an County, and they all perform their own duties, they are not without opportunities.
Whether it can be done or not, we must always fight.
The two whispered, and a middle-aged man with a smile on his face stepped forward:
"Wang Ping, has your injuries healed?"
"Wu catches quickly, it's no big deal."
Wang Ping hurriedly said.
"Don't be so angry, when you entered the county government, I helped you." Wu Yushan smiled, his eyes flashing with a gleam.
"Hehe, thank you Brother Wu, in this way, I will be the east another day and specially entertain Brother Wu, how about it?"
Wang Ping was discussing, but he was still a little respectful on the surface.
At the beginning, it was the county government that entered the county government through his door, but he didn't give him any silver, and for more than a year, I didn't see him take any care, and that little affection had long disappeared.
"How can you be the East? In this way, when my old Wu sits on the position of head catcher, I will feast you and Chen Yuan," Wu Yushan squinted his eyes and bowed his head at Chen Yuan.
"Then congratulations to Brother Wu first."
Wu Yushan waved his hand and said:
"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, brother, I also hope that the two of you can support me, rest assured, when I sit on the position of head catcher, I will not be able to benefit from you."
"Chen Yuan, what do you think?"
After seeing Chen Yuan's strength before, Wu Yushan and the old servants also began to pay some attention to him, if he could support it, he could save a lot of things, as for Wang Ping, who was at the level of skin refining, it was just an addition.
This time, he is not the only one who is eyeing the position of head catcher, and even the masters of several other rooms, so he naturally wants to win over some good players.
Chen Yuan and Wu Yushan glanced at each other:
"If Brother Wu can sit in that seat, it will naturally be good."
"Okay, with your words, my brother will rest assured, to be honest, I am very optimistic about you, and after I go down, it is not impossible for you to take over."
Wu Yushan promised in a low voice.
Chen Yuan looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered:
"It depends on what the county lieutenant says."
Wu Yushan frowned and glanced at Chen Yuan, and just as he wanted to continue to say something, the county lieutenant Li Mingqi walked into the arresting room with a stiff face.
All the officials stood up one after another and arched their hands:
"I've seen adults."
"I've seen adults."
Li Mingqi scanned the nearly thirty officials present with a calm face, and said in a loud voice:
"I know that all of you present, including the officials of the other rooms, want to be promoted to head hunter, but the position of head catcher has always been only held by bone refining masters with great merit."
"You're still far from it..."
"Originally, the meaning of the Wu County Order was to transfer a master from Fucheng to serve as the head catcher, in order to deal with the pressure of the thieves of the Wusheng Sect, but the official refused, and the position of head catcher must be selected from Ping'an County.
This official is willing to give you a chance, even if your strength is insufficient, it doesn't matter, there is always hope to step into the bone refining in the future. ”
The officials below looked at each other, and no one spoke.
"The person who has always served as the head catcher must serve the public, and those who have no merit cannot serve it, and the position of the head catcher is determined by seniority and strength, but this time, the official decided to choose a different method, and tomorrow, the official will sit in the east of the city..."
