A carriage stopped outside the county government.
When a bailiff saw this, he walked up and said listlessly to the old man driving the carriage,"This is an important place in the county government. Leave quickly.”
Hearing this.
A strange expression appeared on the old man's face.
He pulled open the curtain of the carriage, and a young man came out of the carriage. He jumped lightly and landed on the ground.
The young man took out a pale yellow document from his pocket and handed it to the bailiff.
The bailiff took it and glanced at it casually.
When he saw the gold-plated words "appointment certificate" on the cover of the official document, he was shocked.
His body quivered and he immediately perked up.
He carefully opened the document.
A line of words that had been enlarged was particularly eye-catching.
[Xu You is hereby appointed as the county magistrate of Ji County!】
The bailiff could not care less about the other contents.
He quickly checked the end. There was a bright red seal of the County Governor's Estate.
This young man was actually the new County Lord.
The bailiff was a little surprised.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he did not offend this person just now.
Otherwise, he would probably have a hard time in the future.
He quickly stepped forward.
He bowed respectfully to the young man and
said,"I'm really blind. I didn't recognize Mount Tai. I didn't know that the new county lord was here. Please forgive me."”
The young man waved his hand.
"You can't blame those who don't know. Besides, I haven't officially taken office yet, so I'm not worthy of the title of county magistrate."”
The bailiff smiled in embarrassment.
"Can I go in now?" the young man asked.”
The bailiff stretched out his hand and said with a flattering expression,"Of course, please come in, Lord County Magistrate. I will lead the way for you.”
Then, he shouted at the bailiffs behind him.
"What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and carry the luggage for the county lord!"”
The bailiffs finally reacted.
He quickly moved to the front of the carriage and began to carry the luggage.
The young man did not refuse.
He smiled.
"Thank you for your trouble."
"Lord County Magistrate, please follow me.”
After the bailiff finished speaking, he led the way for the young man.
The young man followed and entered the county office.
One day later.
The newly appointed County Magistrate of Ji County, Xu You, sat on an armchair. Beside him was the old servant who had followed him to Ji County-Uncle Cheng.
Xu You sighed.
He said to Uncle Cheng rather ruefully,"Uncle Cheng, the waters in Ji County are really deep.”
Uncle Cheng nodded in agreement.
On this day, other than understanding the situation in Ji County, Xu You did nothing else.
It was fine if he didn't understand, but once he did, Xu You was shocked.
The former County Lord was actually killed by a large clan in Ji County, the Chen Clan.
In Ji County, this matter was known by just asking around.
It wasn't like the county said that he had fallen into the water and died.
A dignified official of the imperial court had actually died an unnatural death. Even the truth of his death had been concealed.
Thinking about it, Xu You felt a chill run down his spine.
No wonder the position of Ji County Magistrate had fallen so easily onto his head. No one had competed with him at all.
It turned out that those old foxes in the prefecture had long known that this Ji County was a place of trouble!
They didn't want to get involved in the murky waters of Ji County.
Only someone like him, who had just arrived, would be so foolish as to be smug over this "huge pie" that had fallen into his hands.
However, since he was here, he should take it as it was.
He had no enmity with the Chen family, so they wouldn't let him walk down the old path of the previous generation, right?
When he thought of the Chen family, Xu You only felt that his heart was covered with a layer of mist.
He suddenly remembered something.
"Uncle Cheng, prepare yourself today. I'll pay a visit to the Chen family tomorrow."”
"Yes, Young Master!"
The next day.
The county magistrate's honor guard came to the gate of the temporary clan ground of the Chen family.
A bailiff respectfully handed a visiting card to the guard.
The guard flipped open the invitation card and saw the name of the county magistrate of Ji County, Xu You.
He glanced at the palanquin that the county magistrate was sitting in.
An inexplicable look appeared in his eyes.
He said,"Just you wait. I'll go and inform the family head."”
After saying that, he turned around and ran toward the clan.
Not long after.
The guard walked out again and came to the official sedan chair. He said to the sedan chair,"Lord County Head, my family head invites you!”
Uncle Cheng, who was beside the sedan, heard this.
An angry expression appeared on his face.
No matter what, his young master was still a seventh grade county magistrate, the father and mother of Ji County.
The first thing he did after taking office was to visit the Chen family personally.
It could be said that he had given enough face to the Chen family, but the Chen family did not even have a decent person to welcome him.
This Chen family was really arrogant.
Cheng Bo just wanted to flare up and defend his own master.
Xu You, who was dressed in an official robe, walked out of the official sedan.
Looking at the furious Uncle Cheng, he gave him a subtle look.
Uncle Cheng suppressed the anger in his heart and walked behind Xu You, standing respectfully.
"Lord County Magistrate, please follow me.”
The guard extended his hand and invited.
Xu You nodded.
"Thank you."
Along the way, they met many members of the Chen family. When they saw Xu You, who was dressed in a county magistrate's robe, they were all very curious. They were curious that this young man had become the "county lord" at such a young age.
Xu You realized that there was no respect in the eyes of these Chen clansmen.
His heart became extremely heavy.
Finally, the guard leading the way stopped in front of an extremely elegant house. The door of the house was wide open.
The guard turned to Xu You and said,"Lord County Magistrate, my family head is waiting for you inside."”
Xu You nodded and walked in. Uncle Cheng, who was behind him, was about to follow, but he was blocked by one.
The owner of this hand was the guard.
He shook his head."The Family Head will only meet the County Lord. You can't go in."”
Uncle Cheng narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.
"What if my young master is in danger?”
The guard sneered.
He raised his head and said confidently,""If my family head was here, the County Lord would still be in danger. Then, no one in this world would be able to protect him.”
"What an arrogant tone."
Uncle Cheng sneered.
"If anything happens to my young master, your entire Chen family will be buried with him!”
Uncle Chen warned with a cold expression.
The knife on the guard's waist was instantly unsheathed, and the sharp scimitar was placed on Uncle Cheng's neck. If it moved a little further, it would cut off his head.
"Do you dare to say that again?"
The guard's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Uncle Cheng's eyes were filled with disdain. Just as he was about to attack, he saw Xu You berate him,"Uncle Chen, it's enough. Wait for me outside the door.”
Hearing Xu You's scolding, Uncle Chen looked at the guard unwillingly and gave up on the idea of making a move.
The guard snorted coldly.
He withdrew the scimitar from Uncle Cheng's neck. The scimitar returned to its sheath. The guard sneered."In my Chen family, if you are a dragon, you have to coil up. If you are a tiger, you have to lie down!"”
Uncle Cheng was furious, but when he saw Xu You's gaze gradually turning cold, he grunted.
He closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing Uncle Cheng being honest, I'm not a good man
Xu You stepped into the house.
Today, he was going to meet this young and promising overlord of Ji County!
