Chapter 62: The Appearance of the Crowning Officials and Catching Wood Gods
It is said that after the "Ye Xuanzi" and Mu Shenxiang and others solved the gold disappearance case, Xu Chang, the chief dart head of the Zhenbei Dart Bureau, has always kept in mind and kept in mind this kindness, and it happened that Xu Chang had a cousin who was an official in the court, so Xu Chang told his cousin about it, and the cousin was also grateful for the kindness of "Ye Xuanzi" and others, and was surprised by the resourcefulness of these people, so he recommended "Ye Xuanzi" to be an official.
"Ye Xuanzi" and Mu Shen Xiang and others met Xu Chang's cousin who was an official in the imperial court again at a drinking party held by the Zhenbei Dart Bureau, and through Xu Chang's introduction, they got to know each other.
So this cousin bluntly stated his intentions: "'Ye Xuanzi', the court is just the time to employ people, I don't know if Your Excellency has become an official and created ten thousand blessings in the hearts of the people? ”
"The official department is still praised, he is just a rural horseman, how dare he pick the pillar of the country, and above the court, there are many rules, and he can't be restrained, but he still likes the life of idle clouds and wild cranes. "Nightshade" retreated.
"That's a shame. Xu Chang's cousin shook his head.
"The last time I solved the case of the disappearance of gold, I was not alone, but all four of my brothers contributed their wisdom and strength. "Ye Xuanzi" pointed to the four people of Mu Shenxiang, they have now become brothers of the opposite sex, and "Ye Xuanzi" knows that Mu Shenxiang is obsessed with his career.
I don't know if this cousin guessed the meaning of "Ye Xuanzi", or if he really cherished his talent, so he said: "There is only one place, which of the four of you is willing to become an official? Don't shirk each other like 'Ye Xuanzi', it should be much better to be an official than to live in the rivers and lakes." ”
Gu Chunyao, Ghost Clever and Jin Yuan shook their heads one after another, only Mu Shenxiang lowered his head and did not speak, he had his own ideas, and he couldn't make a decisive decision, in case other brothers also wanted to be officials, wouldn't this rob someone else's title, but it couldn't be denied, if the other brothers didn't want to be an official, then this position was his own.
The cousin asked: "Mu Shenxiang, the other three don't want to be officials, only you haven't expressed your position yet, you can tell me what you think." ”
"I am willing to be an official! This is my dream, if the adult recommends, I will live up to high expectations, worry about the country and the people, and seek welfare for the people. "The wood god has arrived.
"You have a square pavilion and a very official appearance, but you don't care about the size of your official position. Xu Changzhi's cousin said.
"I don't care very much, but I still want to be a big official in my heart. "The wood god said.
"You are very honest, your martial arts are very high, but you have not made meritorious contributions to the court, so for the time being, I recommend you to be a head catcher, the head catcher is the leader of the fast catch, take the thief, solve the case, and arrest the murderer are all your duties, although the official position is small, but as long as there is a place for me in the court, there will always be a chance for you to be promoted." The official said.
"I'm very content, I'm a grass farmer, and in a blink of an eye, I've become a person who eats official meals, thank you for your support. Although Mu Shenxiang said so, there was still a trace of loss in his heart, it turned out to be an official position that caught fast and did not enter the stream, that is, to arrest prisoners.
"I'll write you a letter of recommendation, and you take the letter to the local prefect, and he will arrange a position for you. After speaking, the group came to Xu Chang's study, Xu Chang's cousin spread out the letter paper, lightly dipped the ink with a small and medium-sized brush, moistened the tip of the pen, raised his right elbow, and stood and wrote:
Your Excellency
I hereby introduce Mu Shenxiang to the position of head catcher
The wood god is excellent in martial arts, has both intelligence, and is a rare talent.
Hope to accept
The Ministry of Officials is still recommended
Xu Chang's cousin took out the engraved seal from under his waist, stamped the letter with a red stamp, blew a few breaths, folded the letter into a yellow letter, sealed it with wax, and finally wrote down the word "Qinqi", and then handed it to Mu Shenxiang with confidence.
The reception came either as heroes or dignitaries, and after some eating, drinking and having fun, the meeting was dismissed.
Mu Shenxiang took the letter to the local prefect, and "Ye Yingzi" and the other three followed.
The prefect took the letter, and after opening it in person, he immediately led Mu Shenxiang and others to the prefect's office, and told everyone to catch quickly, Mu Shenxiang is your head catcher from now on, and the original head catcher is now named Cong head, which means deputy position.
When the wood god walked out of the office, the four people of "Ye Xuanzi" were stunned, wearing a blue official uniform, a brand-new waist knife on the left waist, and a bright orange and orange catcher on the right waist. Four or five catchers also came out of the house and gathered behind Mu Shenxiang.
Although Mu Shenxiang himself was not very tall, he was in a good mood at this time, and he actually stepped in front of "Ye Xuanzi" in a few steps and said: "'Ye Xuanzi', is it majestic and undecent?"
"Domineering and majestic, but Mu Shenxiang, have you ever thought that I am a thief of Jiangyang, you are a god of the court, you are an official, I am a thief, will you arrest me for promotion and wealth?"
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, and the three of them won't say it, who knows, besides, this official is yours, so you can be your thief with peace of mind, I eat and live for nothing every month, and I have an official salary, how comfortable I am." Wood God said.
"I don't know what happened to the boss?" Gu Chunyao, the big head, said from the boss, the boss he was referring to was Dou Jingpeng, "It's been so long, there is no news from the boss, our lives were saved by the boss, today you are promoted, you should let the boss know and be happy together." ”
"Let's go, let's go down to the restaurant!" said the wood god.
"Will you receive the money on the first day?" asked the one-armed gold ingot.
"It's the flattery of the younger brothers, don't ask for it in vain, but you can't ask for more, this is also corruption, take too much of this extra money and you will send yourself in. "The wood god is in high spirits.
"Ye Xuanzi" said: "I didn't expect it, on the first day of doing fishing, I began to study the way of career." ”
......
On the street, the five people suddenly saw a middle-aged man with a mustache sneaky, and after a while, they realized that he was eyeing a rich man, only to see the middle-aged man with a mustache come to the rich man, bump lightly, say sorry, and then a bag of silver arrived.
If this was put in the past, the five people were too lazy to care, but today it is different, Mu Shenxiang is a head catcher, so the five people followed.
Seeing that the mustache was about to enter the bright red building, Mu Shenxiang ran for a while, came to the middle-aged man with the mustache, grabbed it with his backhand, and raised the thief's hand to steal money, the thief was in pain for a while, let go of his hand, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground.
"If you dare to steal in front of this god, you will return the money to others. ”
The thief fixed his eyes and saw that it was a catcher, and he whispered in secret, today is really unlucky.
The wood god carried the clothes on the thief's back and came to the rich man and returned the money.
"Today is my first day in office, so I'll let you go, and if you commit another offense, you will be arrested immediately, do you hear?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! The villain is guilty, he doesn't dare to commit it again, he must be a man, thank you for letting the villain go. Eight characters said flatteringly.
"Get out of here!" roared the wood god again.
......
On Beicang Mountain, Dou Jingpeng told Li Shihe: "Shihe, stay for another night tonight, and I will leave tomorrow." ”
"Jingpeng, why? You are homeless, Beicang Mountain is my home, that is, your residence. Li Shihe asked.
"You're right, but you have your things to do in Beicang Mountain, because you are the master of Beicang Mountain, but I have nothing to do in Beicang Mountain, only to go out, the outside world is my world, when I am tired and don't want to move, I will go back to Beicang Mountain to find you." Dou Jingpeng said.
Xiao Kaiyan sighed: "Brother Li, I can't live in Beicang Mountain for a long time, I'm going back to the Huamei faction, where I have my dreams." ”
"I understand you, we will always be good friends. Li Shihe said, "Can Lan Lan go?"
"She said that she is willing to go with me, we don't want to be separated, Shihe, after I leave, practice hard. ”
"Well, you too. ”
The next day, Dou Jingpeng, Situ Lanlan and Xiao Kaiyan left Beicang Mountain, Li Shihe practiced the Yanghua weightless knife method for a long time last night, although he still did not break through the eighth layer, but the seventh layer is already quite proficient, and he can even draw inferences from one another, and flexibly use the variant knife method of the Yanghua weightless knife method, the so-called variant knife method is nothing more than fighting left and right.
Dou Jingpeng is not as lucky as Li Shihe, he relies on his own understanding to practice the unified swordsmanship, neither the master's guidance, nor the sword spectrum, all relying on his own solid foundation layer by layer, and then deducing layer by layer, according to the principle of coherence, deducing what the next sword technique looks like.
At present, Dou Jingpeng is still in the "Imperial Sword" stage, and the third layer of the dragon anti-dispersion is still not understood, but he already has eyebrows, the last martial arts alliance leader election meeting, Pang Qiushui was in the ring suddenly realized the realm of the dragon anti-dispersion, he was particularly impressed at that time, Pang Qiushui was the third layer of the Bagua Array diagram.
Dou Jingpeng is trying the Bagua Array little by little, and believes that it is not far from breaking through the third layer.
After Dou Jingpeng and the three left, Li Shihe sent Feng Dao Scar to the four people, the purpose was to teach them the first eighteen styles of the thirty-six styles of the third layer of the Yanghua weightless knife technique, as long as they learned this layer of knife techniques, there would be few opponents in the rivers and lakes.
Li Shihe let them memorize the mantra well, as for when to practice it is all up to their own preferences, the four apprentices are quite diligent, without being urged, practice hard and hard, and at present, the disciples of the Shidaomen have basically mastered the thirty-six styles of the first layer of the Yanghua weightless knife technique.
