Chapter 107: The Good Guy Card
In fact, after handing over the demon corpse of the seven-rank pig demon to the yamen, in Zhou Ang's heart, he had already separated himself from this matter. How to talk about merit next, how to negotiate and collude with the county Zhu Yamen, I should not be a talker, and to be honest, I am not professional enough, so I don't have to participate.
It's just that in the eyes of Gao Jing, Du Yi and others, the monster was killed by Zhou Ang, and the demon corpse was transported by Zhou Ang, no matter what final decision they made in the yamen, before making a decision, it is natural that they must ask Zhou Ang's opinion, so they will call him over to ask if something happens.
Until, finally, the dust settled.
Things are in their own hands, the initiative is in their hands, there is a mental calculation or not, Gao Jing Duyi's level is there, of course, it is impossible to suffer, and it will not make the county unable to come to the stage, the final result can be regarded as relatively satisfactory for the vast majority of people who will participate in it.
One person for the first merit, Shen Ming for the county, four for the second merit, three for the county, Gao Jing, Du Yi, Fang Jun, one for the county, Liu Wei and Liu Dingxin for the third class, ten people for the third grade, seven for the county, that is, except for the above four people, all the other official cultivators have written on it, and it also means that there are not so many names to occupy no matter how many people there are, and the remaining three are naturally from the county.
When the matter is decided, everyone is happy.
That night, Fang Jun invited guests, and everyone ran to Wangjiang Tower to eat and drink.
In the great merit of hunting a seventh-rank pig demon, the profit was divided to a second-class merit, coupled with the merits accumulated before, it was almost enough to wipe the line, this time, Fang Jun's next promotion to the eighth-order pill would definitely not be a problem.
In other words, Zhu Yamen of Lingzhou County is about to usher in his fourth eighth-order cultivator.
In Du Yi's words, in addition to Chang'an, Wannian and other Jingxian, Qi County, Wangxian and the like, as the key control of the imperial court, other places are really incomparable, Lingzhou County's current strength is also in the absolute forefront among so many counties in the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Jun praised Zhou Ang as a "Wang Ya", saying that since he entered the county Zhu Yamen, everyone in this yamen went up quickly, causing everyone to laugh, and Zhou Ang couldn't cry or laugh.
This kind of meaning similar to "Wangfu", it is said to be praise, but in fact, the meaning is somewhat awkward, it is unlikely that a person with a normal brain circuit will be so praised, but Fang Jun is proud of his life and has drunk a lot of wine, this word almost came out of his mouth, and Zhou Ang couldn't do anything about him.
However, the people who said this may be confused, but the people who listened to it were actually sober.
At least then Zhou Ang felt that Gao Jing Du Yi and the others, looking at him, had some inexplicable complicated meanings, and even after everyone laughed, Du Yi then seriously pulled the topic to Zhou Ang.
"Wang Ya" or something, it must be a joke, but since Zhou Ang entered the county Zhu Yamen, it has been less than half a year now, but the changes he brought to the county Zhu Yamen are quite huge.
Since he entered, the county Zhu Yamen's performance appraisal every month has been "up-to-top" - this was absolutely impossible in previous years. Even in addition to Zhu Yamen in Lingzhou County, it is almost impossible in other counties and other counties.
Again, killing demons is not planting crops, nor is it mining mines, the relationship between monsters and human cultivators is a mortal enemy of each other, it is a life-and-death relationship, the official cultivators have more and more experience in hunting down monsters, and the experience of monsters evading the pursuit of cultivators is also becoming richer and richer.
It is an impossible task to catch monsters in a fixed way every month - the land of Gyeonggi is prosperous and unparalleled, and of course there are more lurking monsters, and Gyeonggi is a heavy county, a large county, and the power configuration of official cultivators, and it is far from being comparable to Lingju County, but it is still impossible for them to win every month.
But since Zhou Ang came, every critical time, he can always contribute, one continues to the present, it has been four consecutive months, helping the county to get the "up" evaluation, in the last few days of August, the county and the county "teamed up" to win a seven-grade pig demon, think about it, the fifth consecutive month of "up", is already stable in hand.
These are all solid achievements.
These feats are not only destined to become a glorious page in his resume that can never be ignored for Gao Jing, the chief official, but also for other official cultivators in the county, they are also an important reference for future promotions, merit evaluations, and even when considering recruitment and appointment.
Of course, for these records that are written on the resume and will become more and more useful in the future, the examples in front of him may seem more impactful - at the beginning of August, Liu Rui had just accumulated merit and obtained the pill and was successfully promoted to the eighth order, and in the following September, Fang Jun would also be the eighth order!
............
Lack of moon hanging dredging.
At last it was time for a festive feast to end, and everyone had drunk a little too much, and the servants who had been arranged in advance all tried to support each other as much as possible, and walked down the wooden stairs step by step, step by step, and finally went downstairs to arch hands to each other, and left with a smile.
Du Yi was still quite sober, and at this time he stood in front of the hall of Wangjiang Tower, and told the servants one by one to make sure that they were sent home safely before they were allowed to return to the yamen.
Zhou Ang didn't drink too much, Lu Jin only dared to drink a few glasses, at this time it was basically as if he hadn't drunk, the two of them went downstairs before and after, and when they arrived in front of the hall, they gave up their hands with Du Yi, Wei Ci and others, and wanted to go back by themselves, but at this time, Du Yi suddenly stopped him and said, "Zixiu, you stay for a while." ”
Zhou Ang stopped when he heard this, and waited while sending people away.
In a moment, everyone was almost clean, and on the road in front of the restaurant, there were crooked backs, and at this time, Gao Jing came out of the toilet and said to Du Yi and Zhou Ang: "Let's take a walk and talk." ”
So Zhou Ang knew that it was Gao Jing who had something to say to himself.
Let's take a walk.
So the three of them walked in front, along the embankment, surrounded by carriages passing from time to time, and pedestrians who drank too much and were being supported, but there was no sound of vomiting, there was a gentle wind, slightly cool, the moon seemed to be hanging on the hat, and the whole Lingjiang embankment next to the avenue, there was a noisy and quiet strange atmosphere.
Lu Jin consciously fell a few steps behind the three of them.
Further behind him were the servants of the three county Zhu Yamen.
At first, there was nothing new to say, everyone walked slowly, and at the same time, they still continued the words at the banquet, which was nothing more than a festive meaning, but as they walked, when these gossips were ripped over, Gao Jing suddenly said: "Zixiu, in recent months, you have really worked hard, I have discussed it with Ziyu, we have been for several months." 'Shangshang', no matter how demanding the boss is, there is nothing to say, for me, and all my colleagues in the yamen, this year we have achieved this level, it is enough, next, you should rest!"
Zhou Ang was a little surprised.
In fact, after transporting the demon corpse of this seven-grade pig demon to the Yamen, he felt that Gao Jing's expression was a little complicated, at today's banquet, when Fang Jun said something "Wang Ya", even Du Yi's expression was a little inexplicably complicated, so when Du Yi kept himself, and Gao Jing proposed to go together, he knew that these two people had something to talk to him.
However, he didn't expect this to be the case as soon as Gao Jing opened his mouth.
To tell the truth, he could vaguely guess what Gao Jing meant in his heart, but at this time, he was still more willing to listen to him explain to himself - Du Yi quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "The stone comes out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent!"
Zhou Ang nodded slowly, thinking in his heart, "That's really the case", Du Yi had already continued to explain: "In the first eight months of this year, we have taken six 'up-and-down', and the entire performance has exceeded that of last year.
Speaking of this, he smiled, looked at Zhou Ang with a complicated expression, and said, "After all, Gao Xianzhu and I both know it, in fact, everyone knows it, and it is really not easy for you!"
Zhou Ang was about to nod when he heard this, but suddenly heard this sentence "not easy", and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
At this time, Gao Jing had already nodded, also looked over, and said with some emotion: "Yes! Next, let everyone let go and do it, but don't force any achievements, how much you can gain, it depends on everyone's ability." As for you, in the past few months, you must have worked hard, so take a good rest, and when you encounter something that requires you to come forward, go out to help everyone take a look, that is. ”
At this moment, Zhou Ang completely understood what they meant.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain that hunting monsters by himself might not be as hard as they imagined - uh, it may not be easy to hunt monsters by themselves-uh, it may be really not easy to be a seven-grade monster, because after this incident, the next time you enter the demon realm, maybe there will already be all kinds of precautions in General Yokono's city, but going to the villages outside the city to kill some eight-grade and nine-grade monsters is really not too difficult for him.
But after thinking about it, he finally chose to nod and said very seriously: "Okay!"
............
The meaning of the topic is tacitly understood by everyone, and they understand each other at one point, but there is not much to talk about in detail, and after the words are finished, the opinions are agreed, and they continue to chat with each other, and go back together, and the right to take a walk to sober up.
But it was not long before he reached the thoroughfare, and after walking for a while, he came to the place where he parted.
So the three of them parted, Zhou Ang went east and returned to Defang, and Gao Jing Duyi went west and returned to Chengde Fang, where the county Zhu Yamen was located.
Lu Jin naturally followed Zhou Ang home, here Gao Jing and Du Yi crossed the road and walked towards the gate of Chengde Fang, and several servants behind him quickly followed, but Gao Jing waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to follow closely.
Seeing the road and entering the gate of Chengde Fang, Gao Jing suddenly felt something, subconsciously stopped, turned his head to look over, and just saw that Gao Jing and Lu Jin had also entered the gate of Guide Fang, and were disappearing into the shadows of the streets and alleys that could not be illuminated by the moonlight.
He suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
When Du Yi saw him standing, he also glanced over there, but at this time, he was smiling, and said in a tone that was by no means official: "Brother Anping has feelings again?"
Gao Jing smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's not a feeling...... Sub-repair...... He's a good guy!"
Hearing this, Du Yi slowly retracted his smile, nodded seriously, and said "um".
In fact, they know each other to the extent that there is no need to elaborate on many words, a phrase, or even a "um", the meaning is in it, and it is very rich.
What's more, they have already had an in-depth conversation with each other about this matter before, which is why today's conversation is here.
Yes, of course, Du Yi understands what kind of gratitude and admiration is hidden in Gao Jing's praise of "good people", and Gao Jing also understands what kind of recognition Du Yi's "um" has.
None of them are new, since the day they became cultivators and began to deal with monsters, until now, Gao Jing has been ten years away, and Du Yi has also been nearly ten years.
What's more, the two of them have been in the ranks of official cultivators for so long until now, and each other is already an official status, and they belong to the position of leaders at the grassroots level, what they have seen, heard, thought, felt and understood over the years, not to mention Lu Jin, Chen Chuan and other newcomers, even Fang Jun, Liu Rui, Feng Shan and others, who are also official cultivators, it is also impossible. At least not so much, so richly.
Therefore, the two of them actually understood far better than the other official cultivators in the Yamen what Zhou Ang had done in the past few months, and what significance he had done to the entire Yamen.
And the most important thing is that these things he does are too difficult.
How to find a demon, and then lock it, and then hunt and kill, and it is to hunt and kill without people knowing, without causing the slightest damage and involvement to the surrounding residents...... It's too hard.
Don't say what a seven-grade pig demon is an eight-grade bear demon, it is a nine-grade monster, once it is hunted, its resistance energy is often extremely powerful.
Regarding this point, it is only necessary to strip off the part of Zhou Ang's independent contribution in the past few months of the merits of the county Zhu Yamen in this regard, see what is left, and then compare the two aspects, and it will be roughly known - and the two can be sure that this is definitely not the only two of them who have considered and compared, in fact, through the attitude of everyone in the county Zhu Yamen towards Zhou Ang in ordinary times, you can know that everyone has considered and compared, and they all know it in their hearts.
But Zhou Ang did it alone.
And it was a great success.
And when he hunted the monsters in his hands, he directly handed over his credit to the yamen, and let the yamen dispose and arrange it - that is to say, he gave all his merits to everyone as much as possible.
And he, in fact, only needs money!
Who can not know the friendship in this, who can not know?
And who wouldn't be grateful?
After all, for a cultivator, money counts as a fart!
For someone like Zhou Ang who can independently hunt seven-grade monsters, money is a fart!
It's not that the two of them haven't thought about why Zhou Ang didn't take back the news and clues after locking the monster, and then everyone went out to kill the monster together.
However, after thinking about it, I can only sigh - of course, there will definitely be source channels in this, in fact, it is also because of some secrets that Zhou Ang does not want to make public, but in the final analysis, let alone a seven-grade pig demon, it is the eight-grade bear demon last month, how many people in the yamen can really help?
County Zhu Gaojing may be okay, after all, he is a seventh-order cultivator, and he has a magic weapon by his side, so he has a certain combat effectiveness when facing eighth-rank or even seventh-rank monsters.
Du Yi and He Yi are both eighth-order cultivators, so they may be able to take charge of the periphery.
However, after all, it cannot be the main force.
As for the others, even Liu Rui, who had recently been promoted to the eighth order, was afraid that he would not be able to fight in front of a seventh-grade pig demon. Others are even more Hughty.
And there are a lot of people who are dispatched, and it is impossible to say that it will not be of much help in the early stage, and it may even be too big because of the large number of people, which will scare away the monsters, and when it is time to really start, the people with insufficient strength are likely to become a burden - naturally it is understandable why Zhou Ang would rather choose to attack independently and share the results afterwards, rather than take everyone to the whole thing in the early stage.
In fact, in the many years since Gao Jing and Du Yi became official cultivators, they all knew that the more they reached a high-level battle, the more likely it was that there was no possibility of bullying the widow.
Even if you can bully the widow with more, you have to be more at the same level and level to be useful.
So, when Gao Jing and Du Yi talked about this matter last night, the two discussed it for a long time, and finally felt that they only talked about it with Zhou Ang today, and as for the matter of wanting him to share information and everyone to act together, it was better not to mention it.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, not to mention that Zhou Ang is the one who was pulled into the official cultivator team halfway, not only does he have another teacher, but he is still a clerk in the county Zhu Yamen, so he can only be regarded as a half-official cultivator, and it is even more normal that he will have secrets that he is unwilling to disclose to the public.
In the case of his dedication to justice, if he still has to ask him about his secrets, it is too much to say.
............
There were stumbling footsteps and drunken voices in front of him, and it sounded like Feng Shan.
Gao Jing suddenly had an idea in his heart, and there was no outsider at this time, so he couldn't help but say it, "When I invited him in, how could I have thought that his strength was so high that even the seventh-grade monster could be hunted alone, and after the hunt, he was willing to share it with everyone?"
Du Yi laughed when he heard this, nodded, and said in a tone full of emotion: "Yes!"
The long street is lonely.
In the sigh of satisfaction, the two of them didn't say anything anymore, just walked forward slowly.
Feng Shan's drunken words are getting closer and closer.
This chapter, half of it was written yesterday, and half of it is written today.
The recent update will indeed be a little messy.,Not stable enough.,Everyone, a lot of Haihan.,Wait for the New Year.,I'll try my best to make up for the lack of updates during this time.。
Apologies again!
