Chapter 83: Tianshui Xinchenghuang
As if sensing Lu Gong's doubts, the judge suddenly smiled bitterly. "I've been abandoned!"
"Huh?" Lu Gong couldn't keep up with his speed.
"If the new city god of water takes office today, plus the Tianshui County Taishou in the future, it will no longer have anything to do with me, and my life will end like this!" The judge spoke his mind.
"Si Tianjian is very cruel. We don't have any normal promotion channels at all, because in the end, in the eyes of the imperial court, we are just a bunch of cultivators who have not read the books of the sages. As long as the strength is reached, anyone can do the position of judge. They arranged for a new Chenghuang to take office without informing me this time, and that says it all. ”
Lu Gong finally understood.
It turned out that he had been abandoned by Si Tianjian, or by the forces behind him.
Without the support of the forces behind him, he, the judge, has no real name, how can a cultivator fight against the two divisions of yin and yang, or the two magistrates of the four grades?
Looking at the bitterness on the judge's face, Lu Gong realized that the Qing Shui Yamen of the original Si Tianjian was also involuntarily.
"Your Excellency, is this looking for another mountain?" Lu Gong's voice was a little mocking.
The judge didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "If you don't have this thought, why do you want to become an official in the court, it's better to go back to the mountain gate and be a person outside the world?" ”
The judge seemed to have opened his heart, and his words were not taboo, pointing straight to the heart.
Lu Gongyuan no longer had a good impression of him, but now listening to his heartfelt words, he also felt that it was indeed not easy for a cultivator like him to gain a foothold in this red dust.
From the compliments that came with Huang He last time, it can be seen that Lord Cao is not very familiar with them, or that he is not qualified enough to be favored by them. Today, it is ruthlessly abandoned.
"No matter what, I hope that Lord Cao can reveal the truth." Lu Gong said seriously, "Whether I can make a profit with my works and enter Kyoto is one thing, and the most important thing is that I don't want to see the most disgusting person, holding my things behind my back, and his official fortune is prosperous." ”
"You really don't want to enter Beijing?" The judge frowned.
Entering Beijing as an official, regardless of the size of the official position, being able to directly contact that circle is something that countless people have dreamed of all their lives.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!" Lu Gong said truthfully.
Seeing the doubts on the judge's face, he also poured out his heart and lungs. "There are so many things that have happened during this time, which has made me see the limits of my abilities, and I also vaguely feel the turbulent undercurrents under the troubled times. If there is no diamond, there is no porcelain work. This is the most basic truth, and three-year-old children understand it. In other words, now I regret my life and don't want to die easily, that's all. ”
"Hahahaha......" The judge burst out laughing.
"I have to say, if you just want to be a friend, you are a good choice. It's just that I chose officialdom and have no friends to speak of. The judge got up, obviously figuring out what Lu Gong meant, "Then I'll try it too, if it can be done, I don't dare to pack the ticket." ”
"It's hard work!" Lu Gong said sincerely.
The judge stretched out his hand to pat the dust off his robe, knowing that he had run away again in vain today.
Just about to leave, he took two steps forward, then he remembered an important thing, and turned around and said: "I forgot to say one thing, you and these low-level little gods have a thorough understanding, you have to be more careful on weekdays, especially for this new city god." ”
Lu Gong had a strange feeling in his heart.
"Lord Judge, can't you simply be a local judge?" Lu Gonglang said.
"Simple?" Judge Cao suddenly stopped, glanced at the Jihe River, which was about to dry up, and said with a smile: "How can there be anything simple. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You'll soon understand. ”
The judge left, but Bai Gu and his party had not returned.
The arrival of the judge made it difficult for him to calm down, especially his evaluation of Xinchenghuang that he didn't dare to say directly.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Lu Gong saw Bai Gu and his party returning half drunk.
In the line, only Qin Qiubo remained completely awake, and the worst was the mountain god of Biyang Mountain, and the stone man could only walk with a roll.
Just climbing the stones of the river temple took a lot of effort.
"How?" Lu Gong looked at Qin Qiubo.
Qin Qiubo helped the stone man and asked him to sit down and rest against the River Temple, and then came over. "At first glance, nothing is wrong. But this new city god is definitely not simple! ”
"Why?" Lu Gong was curious.
"At today's banquet, we raised the issue of the recent loss of water and gas, and he told us on the spot that as long as we are willing to cooperate, the water problem can be solved."
If there is a big drought today, the whole Chinese Dynasty is worried about this, and some people say that it can solve the problem of water and gas, which is unusual.
Qin Qiubo glanced at several colleagues who were already getting drunk, and let out a slight breath.
"He didn't say exactly how to do it, but he was polite and thoughtful, and everyone was very happy."
This can be seen from the fact that Shiraya drank almost the same.
"Why didn't Senior Qin drink it?" Lu Gong asked with a smile.
Qin Qiubo snorted coldly. "I can't drink it. Now that the river is drying up and the people are dying of hunger, what kind of good god can it be to still hold such a feast and waste extravagance? ”
Lu Gong didn't have a thumbs up, otherwise he would definitely give him a good thumbs up at this time.
At that moment, Lu Gong told the judge about today's arrival and warning.
After listening to this, Qin Qiubo nodded. "Leave this matter to me, I will ask everyone to pay more attention to it and communicate in time if there is something."
He has always remembered the matter of the joint name, and he only wants Lu Gong to sit in Tianshui, as for who else comes, Qin Qiubo is difficult to agree.
Seeing that many low-level gods were shaken by a banquet, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Yang Jian suddenly staggered over, sat down beside Lu Gong, burped, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, you should go back to Xiaokan Village with me." This is not the place we should be. ”
Seeing his half-drunk appearance, Lu Gong suddenly felt funny. "What? Lord Chenghuang didn't drink you well? ”
"Fuck! I don't like this smiling tiger the most, and I wouldn't be too lazy to drink it if it weren't for the good wine. He can confuse others, but he can't confuse me. This guy doesn't want to stay here for long, he just uses this place as a springboard. ”
As he spoke, Bai Gu had already walked over and sat down in front of Lu Gong. "What Yang Jian said makes sense. Lu Gong, if it doesn't work, let's go back first! ”
"Why do you even say that from Shiratani's seniors?"
"I can't say it either, but it feels bad, especially when other people are fascinated by her."
"Female Chenghuang?" Lu Gong was shocked.
Baigu nodded: "According to the standards of the personality god, the big beauty." ”
"Lu Gong, women are the most difficult to deal with. Let's go. Yang Jian was already holding Lu Gong and was ready to take him away.
It's just that he stumbled under his feet, and after taking two steps, he was out of breath.
Baigu and Yang Jian talked for a long time, but they didn't say why.
Lu Gong didn't take it seriously, and the next day when they woke up, he sent them all away. Qin Qiubo was not idle for a moment, and had already set off early in the morning to inform Lu Gong of the matters he had reminded.
