Tonghai County Ya.

The county commander Gao Chengzhang, the county magistrate Liu Caihe, and the chief bookkeeper Lu Pingzhi are leading the wardens, sword and pen officials, and more than a dozen small officials standing in the hall.

At this time, three horses stopped outside the door, dismounted and collected the whip, handed over the reins to the officials, and strode into the county office.

"County Lieutenant Wu, the journey is hard, please take a seat quickly." When Gao Chengzhang saw a young man in his early thirties, with a calm appearance and small eyes and a big nose, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said.

The young man known as the county lieutenant of Wu clasped his fists and did not dare to slack off: "How dare you ask Gao County to wait for a long time, it is Wu's sin." ”

"Wu County Lieutenant is too modest, the county is in a big event, the yamen is busy, and it is something I can't ask for to have Wu County Lieutenant to help me." Gao Chengzhang laughed loudly, and his voice spread throughout the courtyard, clear and refreshing.

Wu Yuan also had a little smile on his face, feeling that he was shining among the senior brothers who were traveling with him, so he was naturally hugged by Gao County's order and walked hand in hand to the Houya Garden.

"Dare to introduce to the county lieutenant of Wu, Liu Xiancheng in the yamen, Master Lu, and Jing Dian."

By the fish pond, in the water pavilion.

Gao Chengzhang invited the guests to drink tea and snacks before the meal, and took the time to introduce the officials in the yamen.

"In Xia Liu Caihe, I have seen Lieutenant Wu."

"In Xialu Pingzhi, meet the county lieutenant Wu." One of the two stood up and bowed, the other bowed beside him, Wu Yuan returned the salute to the two, and the other only nodded.

This is not that Wu Yuan is arrogant, but that only the county commander, county lieutenant, and county official can be regarded as an official among the county officials. Recommended by Taishou, appointed by the imperial court, and the rest are all officials, all of whom are appointed by yamen from all over the country, and it is all in the mind of Shangguan to stay and die, and they can't be on the stage in front of Wu Yuan at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Pingzhi's position as the chief bookkeeper represented Gao County's order, Wu Yuan probably wouldn't even bother to nod.

The warden was a subordinate of the county lieutenant, in charge of the criminal case, and he got up and bowed to Wu Yuan, but Wu Yuan didn't even pay attention to it, and directly ignored it.

The warden Jing was not embarrassed, because he knew that the county lieutenant Wu came with two juniors, and he must have removed the warden and made room for his juniors.

Subsequently, the officials finished their salutes and retired, only three county officials and two disciples of the Medicine King Sect who came with them stayed at the same table and sat down, and drank bitterly, and the same as the three county officials, the remaining two disciples of the Medicine King Sect were also innate martial artists.

......

and Chundo.

Pharmacy.

"Sect Master, the new county lieutenant arrived yesterday and has already gone to work in the yamen." There was nothing to hide in the county at all, and the next morning, Yao Yutian came to the secret room to report: "When the county lieutenant Wu first arrived at the Yamen, he removed the posts of Jing Dianguan and Wang Bantou, and replaced them with two innate masters who were also from the Medicine King Sect. ”

"Even the warden and the squad leader are innate masters?"

Dongfang Bai couldn't help but wonder: "One county yamen, five congenitals, the strength of the Tonghai County yamen has risen greatly." ”

"Hehe, the new county lieutenant came with a strict order, and he wanted to bring some helpers, the children of the sect have always liked to walk together, and they have to have a few people together in the last thatched house."

"What's more, you're here to recover the remnants of the Demon Sect?" Yao Yutian said sarcastically.

"Always pay attention to the movements of the yamen."

Oriental White Road.

"Yes!"

Yao Yutian took the order and left.

"Senior Brother Ruan, I came to Tonghai County to serve as the county lieutenant, in addition to helping the county guard to recover the remnants of the Demon Sect and avenge the murder of his son, I also have an important task to help the sect purchase medicinal materials."

Inside the county lieutenant's house.

Wu Yuan had already changed into a cyan official robe representing the nine rank officials of Taisho, wearing a felt hat, sitting behind the table, and his words were already a little positive.

Ruan Wenzheng and Ruan Wuzheng, two siblings, dressed in the gray clothes of officials, stood at the table, nodding when they heard the words, their expressions were full of respect.

In fact, there are not many vacancies in the official positions given to the disciples of the sect in the imperial court, and the disciples who can make up the quota are all highly regarded leaders in the sect.

Because, Taisho implements three kinds of official election system, the first is the shadow official system, relying on the father's Yu Yin to enter the office, turning into a senior member of the court, and the official family is established.

The second is the imperial examination system, which is exclusively for the examiners of Wendao monks, and is only implemented in the hinterland of the three states, and it is rumored that there are two subjects of Taoism and Buddhism.

The third is the inspection system, which is specially established for the sect registered in Kyushu, and the recommended person must be a disciple of the sect, which is divided into nine grades, the lower three grades are pushed by the county guard, the middle three grades are cited by the state government, and the upper three grades need to be inspected by the Kyushu Political Division.

In the third-class system, the Meng official is the highest, the probation is the middle, and the imperial examination is the inferior.

Among the probationary quotas of the lower three grades, the lowest nine grades enter the county guard as officials, and the eighth rank enters the middle school as a school, and only the seventh rank can be elected as a county official, and there are even fewer who can fill the vacancies.

Once you get to fill the vacancies, you can not only get the rewards of the sect and the monthly cultivation food, but also get the imperial court and choose to study the "Taisho Martial Arts". The most powerful warriors in the world are all in the imperial court, and since all forces are competing with each other, there is no reason why if you enter the imperial court, you will lose the support of the sect.

But in the same way, a disciple who was born in a sect must return to the sect, otherwise he will not be able to mix in the officialdom at all.

"The last thing is to find out whose hands Tsukidan is flowing from." Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes, holding in his hand a list of county traditional Chinese medicine shops: "According to the deacon of the Business Hall, the Zhuji Dan has seriously threatened the sales of the Blood Nourishing Pill, the Yishen Pill, and the Dragon and Tiger Essence Blood Paste in the sect. ”

These elixirs are all Qi pills that can assist the acquired martial artist to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan, strengthen the qi and blood, and gain the original spirit.

According to the grade, it is only Xiao Dan but it is five or six times more expensive than ordinary Xiao Dan, it is used by martial artists with rich family resources before breaking through the innate realm, in fact, there is no effect to help break through, but after a long period of publicity and management of the sect, it has become a must-buy medicine for many acquired martial artists in the state to break through.

And due to the large number of acquired martial artists, it has become an important source of wealth for the Medicine King Sect, one of the three major sects, but unexpectedly, the market is changing rapidly, and the market for several pills is quickly occupied by Zhuji Dan.

"According to the deacon's elder's investigation, it has been determined that Tsukidan first appeared in the ghost city of Taishan County, and I was also tried by the elders of the sect to fill the vacancy in Taishan County."

"Doing a good job of the murderous revenge of the county keeper is a matter of immediate importance, and finding out the source of Tsukidan is the real top priority! However, it is not a county that is involved, and in the end, it is still inseparable from the support of the county keeper. ”

"Senior Brother Ruan, I will leave the matter of purchasing medicinal materials to you, as for tracking the clues of the remnants of the Demon Sect and finding out their hiding place, I will lead Senior Brother Ruan to do it personally."

Wu Yuan handed over the safer things to the junior brother.

Ruan Wenzheng hurriedly took his younger brother Ruan Wuzheng and bowed: "Yes!" ”

"Lord County Lieutenant."

......

A week later.

Yao Yutian was surprised with depression, and immediately bowed down when he came to the secret room: "Sect Master, my subordinates have something important to report." ”
