Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked at the timekeeping spirit guide on his body, and then he spoke: "Twenty-seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, there are still two and a half minutes before the time limit I set for you." Your desire to survive is still quite strong, isn't it?"

"Xiaguan...... The lower official failed to receive your communication from the senior official before, and I ask the senior official to punish him!"

The old man still maintained a bowing posture, did not dare to stand up straight, and said in an unusually sincere tone.

"Did you not receive it?" or did you not want to take it?"

Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and continued to ask.

The old man's body trembled, and he seemed to become more embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is laughing, how could the lower officials not want to receive the communication from the provincial government, they really didn't receive it, so you are a little neglectful of the senior official." ”

"Wang Xuanwen, how old are you this year?"

Lu Yuan suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

Wang Xuanwen was stunned, subconsciously straightened up, glanced at Lu Yuan secretly, and then spoke: "Back to the adult, the lower official is eighty-five this year." ”

"Eighty-five...... How many years have you been working?"

Lu Yuan then asked.

Such a gossip and homely appearance really made Wang Xuanwen very confused.

"Well, after graduating from university at the age of twenty-one, Xia Guan returned directly to Canglan City, starting as a basic officer of the Civil Affairs Office, and it has been a full sixty-four years now. ”

Wang Xuanwen replied cautiously.

"Sixty-four years? It's really a short time, Mayor Wang has worked hard all his life, but he has dedicated all his youth to the empire. From a basic officer, he finally became the current mayor, and his career cannot be said to be smooth sailing, but it can also be regarded as blossoming and fruitful. ”

Lu Yuan looked at Wang Xuanwen, and his tone sounded very perfunctory.

"Uh...... What the high-ranking official said is that I, Wang Xuanwen, a civilian, can finally become the acting mayor of Canglan City, which is completely due to His Majesty's imperial grace, otherwise, I am afraid that it is not impossible to waste in the position of an official for the rest of my life. ”

Wang Xuanwen didn't know what Lu Yuan meant, so he could only follow Lu Yuan's words.

"Since you also know that it is His Majesty's imperial grace, why do you not have the slightest intention of sharing worries and solving problems for Your Majesty after serving as acting mayor? I just want to finish this last half a year and retire peacefully, so what's the use of the empire wanting you as acting mayor?"

Lu Yuan's tone was quite flat, but Wang Xuanwen was a spirit, and hurriedly continued to bow down and said: "Senior official, it is the slack work of the lower officials, and I feel that it is the last half a year, rather than doing something that offends people, it is better to get by, and the lower officials know that they are wrong." ”

I don't know if he was frightened by Lu Yuan's previous warning, Wang Xuanwen's attitude was extremely sincere.

The words also sounded full of remorse.

Looking at Wang Xuanwen's appearance, Lu Yuan thought about it and felt that with the matter of the Canglan City Public Security Office, there was no need to pull Wang Xuanwen out to kill chickens and monkeys.

simply changed his mind at the beginning, and said: "Mayor Wang, because of your slackness, you Canglan City Public Security Office is good at advocating, what exactly have you done, I think you should know by now." This incident alarmed His Majesty, and made His Majesty very angry, and several young people whom His Majesty valued were treated unjustly because of it. ”

"Since I am here in person, then this matter must be investigated, Mayor Wang, I hope you can stand the last shift and do what you should do well, so that I can ensure that your retirement can be smooth." At the time of retirement, it is not impossible to correct the title of deputy and improve the first-level retirement benefits. ”

"But if you are on this last shift, you will not only be in a daze, not only will you not be able to do your job well, but also let Your Majesty think that you are a vegetarian ...... Mayor Wang, then I can guarantee that with Your Majesty's temper, your previous efforts of more than 60 years will be in vain. Not to mention honorable retirement, Your Majesty is angry, if you don't raid your family and exterminate your family, it's your luck!"

Wang Xuanwen gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, your lordship! Xiaguan knows what to do! In the last half a year, Xiaguan promises to be conscientious and do his best to take care of Canglan City for His Majesty! As for what you said, Xiaguan does know, here Xiaguan will make a statement to your lordship, and I will unconditionally give the greatest support here if you need any assistance from the security station. ”

"It's useless to just say it, and next, I'll see how you perform. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll go back to the city government to rectify it first, and during this time, if there is any omission, the lower officials will let the adults punish them at will!"

After Wang Xuanwen finished speaking, his eyes paid attention to Ye Ning and the four of them, and then he bowed down and saluted Lu Yuan, turned around and got back on the shuttle.

Seeing that the shuttle car left quickly after starting, Lu Yuan said to Ye Ning beside him: "I originally wanted to take down this Wang Xuanwen directly. Anyway, during this time, I will be in Canglan City, and it is not difficult to elect another acting mayor, but do you know why I suddenly changed my mind?"

"Wang Xuanwen has worked in Canglan City for more than 60 years, starting from the most ordinary civil affairs office officer, and has been in the position of the second deputy mayor...... This must be the reason why the high-ranking officials suddenly changed their minds, right?"

Ye Ning said with a smile.

"That's right, for more than 60 years, Wang Xuanwen has been operating in Canglan City, and no one knows how much influence he has in the entire Canglan City. The more small a place like Canglan City, the more useful the relationship between people is, so once Wang Xuanwen gets serious, Canglan City will have no secrets for him. ”

Lu Yuan glanced at Ye Ning with appreciation, and then said: "It's quite strange that twenty-three students died at once. From what I have learned, the whole thing is not only suspicious, but also has a lot of crudes, as if it was decided to frame you after a temporary decision. ”

"So this thing...... In my opinion, it doesn't look like the handiwork of those big people, but rather like someone secretly working on some kind of temptation after the incident. As for the cause of this incident itself, it is not taken to heart by the people in the secret, and even if the matter is revealed in the end, there is no loss to the people in the secret. ”

Ye Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled: "Listening to the high-ranking official's statement, things seem to be a little confusing?"

"That's because you're still in a low position, so you can't see the higher scenery, grow slowly, don't rush. ”
