[Chapter 4 - The Power of Portrait!] What exactly should this new magistrate do?

"Is this really useful?" Mu Qingshan was a little worried in the government office. "Will he anger the bandits and ask him to bring people in and kill all sides?"

"If this is true, that's fine." Shang Yunze said, "Now there are people from Tengyun Castle on all roads entering the city. As long as the other party shows up, I will be 90% sure to take them down."

"But what if the other party is a master?" Mu Qingshan was still a little worried.

Shang Yunze curled his lips, "You don't have to worry about Master Mu."

"Why?" Mu Qingshan asked in detail and said, "The Lord Shangbao and Zhao Yuesu don't know each other. How can he know his strength? I still feel that it's not careful and safe to post such a rash statement. Why don't you think of another way?"

"This statement makes sense." Shang Yunze nodded, "Then let the master think about it and see how to cover everything."

Mu Qingshan:...

He originally wanted everyone to discuss it together.

But Shang Yunze had already made great strides out of the study and obviously had no intention of discussing with him.

Mu Qingshan had no choice but to look at Wen Liunian.

Lord Wen shook his head, "Master is too worried."

"Why?" Mu Qingshan's eyes were puzzled.

"If Tengyun Castle can take root in Cang'er Prefecture for decades, it will definitely have some understanding of the bandits in Cangmang Mountain, at least it is better than you and me." Wen Liunian explained, "The people think that people in the world are impulsive and aggressive, because they have never seen a real hero. The heads of the sects that can become climate in the local area will not be fools, and they will not rashly take root and buy property without understanding the surrounding environment."

"So." Mu Qingshan finally reacted.

"That's why I agreed to the proposal of the Lord Shangbao." Wen Liunian said, "Now the government has no troops and no silver, and the troops outside the city are just empty-handed. If you really want to eliminate the bandits, you can only rely on Tengyun Castle."

Mu Qingshan nodded, "What the lord said is very true." Within half a month of his tenure, he could invite Shang Yunze from Duanyun Mountain and borrow all the disciples of Tengyun Castle to suppress bandits. This alone can already make people look at him with admiration.

Of course, the people in the city did not know the agreement between Tengyun Castle and the government, nor did they know that Shang Yunze had been invited down the mountain and was preparing to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop. However, this did not affect everyone's favor for Wen Liunian at all. The bandits outside the city have been around for a long time and will not be solved in a short time. As soon as the new master took office, he began to build a good hall in the city, preparing to give the old man a place to live before the cold winter came. He also took the yamen runners to inspect the people's situation from house to house. The case handling speed was quite fast, and even reduced taxes. It was no longer many times better than the previous adults who only knew to stay in the government office to hide from bandits.

Not to mention knowing a man with a mysterious beauty like the wind.

With the efforts of the painter in the city, Zhao Yue's portrait was finally pasted on the kang in every household, and was on par with the Kitchen God. Many young people even began to imitate his messy hairstyle, feeling that they seemed to be handsome and had a bit of a heroic style. For a moment, the city was full of chicken coops, and occasionally there was a neat hair tied up, and they were ridiculed by the crowd to be too rural.

"Sir." Mu Qingshan and Wen Liunian stood at the entrance of the government office and said worriedly, "If this continues, I'm afraid it won't work."

A young man stood in the distance at the corner of the street, rubbing his own hair wildly. He was moving very wildly.

Wen Liunian:...

"What can I do with the Lord Shangbao?" Mu Qingshan couldn't help asking while having lunch.

Shang Yunze held back his laughter, "No."

Mu Qingshan couldn't hide his worries between his eyebrows. Although Cangmang City was not wealthy at first, at least everyone was refreshing and neat. Now that they had scattered heads, they were really unpredictable.

As dusk approached, the government came to post new notices from the yamen runners. The people first surrounded him happily, preparing to see if there were new portraits, but they saw a full text, so they were very disappointed.

The content of the notice was written by Wen Liunian himself, citing scriptures to illustrate the importance of "a gentleman dressed in a straight face". In order to curb this inexplicable bloated head, most of the people just glanced at it and dispersed, not to mention that they were tearing home and carefully pondering it, and they did not give the prefect a very disgrace.

When the news came back to the government office, Mu Qingshan suggested, "It would be better to just give a order. Those with disheveled heads and faces are not allowed to go out. Violators are detained for three days?"

Before Wen Liunian could speak, Shang Yunze laughed in silence, "How should be the beggars and refugees in the city deal with themselves? What's more, even if they are severely punished and ruthless, they have never heard of being imprisoned if they are not well-behaved." It's a strange thing to say it.

Wen Liunian kept her hands behind her back and continued to circle around the house in silence.

Mu Qingshan closed his eyes slightly.

faint.

Three days later, Wen Liunian came to the painter again.

"Who do you want to draw by sir?" Cao Dai asked.

"It's still the same person before." Wen Liunian said, "but I have to change my clothes."

"You still have to draw?" Mu Qingshan immediately started to have a headache after hearing about this.

"Yes." The yamen runner nodded, "Everyone has been invited."

I still think there are not enough things... Mu Qingshan didn't have the heart to settle the accounts anymore, so he left the abacus and went to the study room, wanting to see what was going on.

Shang Yunze happened to pass by the account room, so he went in and picked up the account book and searched it, and then twitched his toothache.

No wonder I wasn't robbed.

If you are so poor, there is really nothing to be robbed.

"Sir." Mu Qingshan knocked on the door of the study and saw that Cao Dai had finished painting a portrait and was washing his hands in a copper basin. So he stepped forward and took a look.

The person is still the same person, his eyebrows and eyes have not changed at all, but he has become a scholar. His hair is neatly tied behind his head with a jade crown, and his white jade belt is held in his hand. He really "like the wind under the pine tree, and the sunset is like the morning glow."

The new portrait was quickly pasted all over the city - this time, Lord Wen had experience and first drew a hundred pictures, and the yamen runners carried them to the city and sent them door by door to door, and then pasted the rest on the street so as not to be torn away again and do useless work.

He was even more handsome! The people praised him and continued to stick on the wall.

"Will it be useful?" Mu Qingshan asked.

Wen Liunian replied, "No matter whether it is useful or not, you must try it." Otherwise, if you don't intervene, you'll be afraid that in a few months, there will be young men in the city erecting their hair on their heads in order to defeat others.

I can't think about it carefully.

But the facts prove that the power of the portrait is indeed extremely huge - or the power of a handsome man. Because after only two days, the young man in the city began to use the dress of a scholar again. Whether he is literate or not, he has to hold a book in his hand when he walks on the street. Regardless of the rest, at least his hair is neat.

"Lucky, lucky." Mu Qingshan was very satisfied with the consequences.

Wen Liunian was still having a headache when she sat in the yard.

What's this called...

On the cliff of Cangmang Mountain, Zhao Yue looked at the new portrait brought back by Lu Zhui, and was shocked again without any surprise, "When did I have this outfit?"

The Lu Er family held back the laughter, "Maybe they are the twin brothers of the boss."

"This prefect is really..." Zhao Yue looked at him in the portrait, feeling indescribable.

"Does the boss still remember one person?" Lu Zhui asked.

"Who?" Zhao Yue looked at him.

"The scholar I met on the ridge of the field outside Cangmang City more than ten days ago." Lu Zhui replied.

"Remember." Zhao Yue nodded, and then realized, "He is the new prefect?"

Lu Zhui Xiaoxiao, "The name is Wen Liunian. He is not very young in his early twenties and has a lot of experience in becoming an official. It is said that he was transferred from Yunlan City, Shu to this point and had a close personal relationship with the people in the Shadow Chasing Palace."

"If he was the prefect, it wouldn't be surprising to find me with such a big fanfare." Zhao Yue said, "After all, I never concealed my identity on the ridge of the field that day." The prefect captured the bandits, but if I thought about it carefully, it seemed that it would not make sense. "Then what happened to the two portraits in the front and back?" The first painting was quite similar, but the wording was gentle, and the wording of "bandit" was not mentioned throughout the article. The second painting simply painted himself into a scholar, with a large number of gentlemen's ways of doing things, etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, which was simply unaware of what it said.

"I guess the person who can have a good relationship with the Master Zhuiying Palace is not bad at all." Lu Zhui said, "I can't guess what this Lord Wen wants to do for the time being, but there is one thing that the boss will definitely be happy after hearing it."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yue asked.

Lu Zhui said, "Now these two portraits have been posted all over every household in Cangmang City. Young men have regarded imitating the boss as beautiful, and many young women dream of marrying the boss."

Zhao Yue:...

Zhao Yue:...

Zhao Yue:...

Lu Zhui added, "So it's better not to go down the mountain in the near future. Even if you are not arrested by the government, you are very likely to be tied up in the lady's boudoir."

Zhao Yue's face had a wonderful expression.

Lu Zhui continued, "One more thing-"

"No need to say it." Zhao Yue interrupted his headache and needed to calm down.

"I'm afraid this matter must be said." Lu Zhui laughed, "The Lord of Tengyun Castle has moved into the government office."

"Shang Yunze?" Zhao Yue frowned slightly when he heard this.

Lu Zhui nodded, "This Lord Wen looked at the pedantic nerd, but he really had some skills. The disciples of Tengyun Castle were already lurking in various mountain roads, and looked like he was determined to suppress the bandits."

"So these are all to lure me down the mountain?" Zhao Yue picked up the portrait on the table.
