According to Zhang Jingxu's idea, the Yicheng County Magistrate should be a well-established figure.

The reason is very simple. The order of a county is no small matter. If it were changed to the level of later generations, it would be a well-known high-ranking county official.

The power of this official position is not small!

Not only do they control the people's livelihood in a place, but they also hold personnel and financial power. Since ancient times, the top political leaders have said that you can do it, you can do it, and you can do it even if you don't. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the county magistrate is the local emperor.

Therefore, in Zhang Jingxu's mind, a person like the county magistrate must be deep-seated. If not cunning, he can at least be far-sighted.

But Zhang Jingxu couldn't believe it. This Yicheng County magistrate was completely beyond his knowledge.

Official style and elegance?

Not at all!

Is the city deep?

What a joke.

Zhang Jingxu was stunned by this action.

Sure enough, the county magistrate was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, that's good. Since you are from the county government, I naturally have to protect you..."

There is no time to talk today.

Two divine wings?

The first time I met Shangguan, I was embarrassed.

People who are involved in official circles are most afraid of being on both ends. Since you choose to join the county government as a leader, then the other force will be your opponent.

Taking advantage of the situation, he handed the ancient book forward and said with a smile again: "I was in a state of confusion in the past few years, and it was only in the past few days that I became a normal person. Therefore, my family is very poor. When I came to visit for the first time, I really didn't have the money to buy anything. Fortunately, I didn't

I got an ancient book and shamelessly brought it to the county magistrate for appreciation..."

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, he quickly passed through the front yard of the county government. When passing through the middle courtyard, he saw people poking around at the door of some side rooms. Apparently, many scribes were secretly observing him, the new arrest of the county government.

After entering the pavilion, the rugged man laughed again. He didn't even have time to say anything. He asked Zhang Jingxu urgently: "Captain Zhang, please take a look. How does this calligraphy work of mine look like?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a long time and then spoke to comfort him: "Just work hard, painting requires talent. As for the one on the table, Uncle Liu knows that what you want to paint is the Phoenix Ao Intention..."

Zhang Jingxu is still a little embarrassed: "I am blind and I didn't see that the painting you painted was a phoenix. Please atone for my sins. I should have asked you what you painted before commenting."

This is the basic skill for officialdom to deal with!

The butler who followed him into the pavilion let out a helpless smile.

Without waiting for the county magistrate's answer, he smiled and said: "Even if I make things difficult, what can I do? Since I have agreed to become the head catcher, I will be a member of the Yicheng County Government from now on. With you as a big tree,

It doesn’t matter if it’s windy or rainy?”

After a long time, he reluctantly accepted the scene before him, and finally asked humbly for advice. He pointed at the big man in the pavilion and said: "The county magistrate, is he... is he writing or painting?"

But how to fight?

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved: "Then the gift I chose is not what I wanted."

Finally, the county magistrate burst out laughing.

The housekeeper sighed as he spoke, his voice sounding like someone talking in a dream, and he said more and more dejectedly: "And it has to be a landscape painting with an elegant artistic conception."

God's Mansion?

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved again, and she secretly remembered this matter deeply.

Zhang Jingxu was stunned and didn't know how to answer the call.

However, when Zhang Jingxu's eyes fell there, no matter how he looked, he could only see a large black mass smeared with ink. Just now, he reluctantly relied on imagination and thought that what he was painting was a majestic green mountain.

Very cultural atmosphere.

He avoided answering, but instead invited him in. It was obvious that the butler was aware of his identity and was unwilling to make a mistake about the gift.

However, it was said that Zhang Jingxu, led by the housekeeper, finally arrived at the back house of the county government. As soon as he entered the back house, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Zhang Jingxu's heart was moved, but her face remained calm. Instead, she smiled elegantly and asked politely: "I wonder how the people who the county magistrate said are making things difficult for me will make things difficult for me?"

The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became stagnant.

At this moment, I heard the big man in the pavilion laughing wildly. He seemed to have finally completed the painting task, so he looked very proud and proud. He shouted from a distance: "Is Mr. Zhang here? Come to the pavilion and talk...

…Ahahaha, I’m taking a look at my new calligraphy by the way.”

Is it so huge that it covers the sky?

Zhang Jingxu was silent!

This time the butler did not answer, but put a smile on his face again, extended his hand to invite you: "The visitor is a guest, Mr. Zhang, let's go this way, my county magistrate is waiting for you in the back house."

.”

This burly man held a writing brush in his hand.

Does the artistic conception also need to be elegant?

Is it okay to just write down and be vicious?

As he said this, he pulled Zhang Jingxu to the desk with a pale face.

The next moment, I heard the big man shouting loudly, and finally dipped his pen in ink and stabbed it fiercely.

The gift is an ancient book, a unique copy specially selected from a bookstore in the city.

With just this compliment, the rough man in front of him suddenly fell silent. His eyes seemed to be dumbfounded, and his mood was frozen on the spot.

Although it is an only copy, it is not expensive, costing only fifty cents, but it is a good first-time gift.

It was a very delicate brush, and the barrel was made of white jade. If a scholar saw this kind of brush, he would probably be willing to exchange his life for it.

At this time, the voice of the butler, Uncle Liu, sounded in my ears, as deep and deep as an old dog in the darkness: "The God's Family Mansion is strong and unreasonable, but I don't know how to prepare for the future work after Zhang Captou joins the job?"

Looking at the eyes of the county magistrate and the housekeeper, Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly and her tone was calm, as if repeating: "Didn't the county magistrate just say it again? If they make trouble too ugly, then beat them..."

Phoenix proud intention?

Next to me, Zhang Jingxu was dumbfounded!

Yicheng County Yamen is divided into three parts: front, middle and back. The front is the Yamen lobby representing the government, the middle courtyard is the various rooms where government affairs are handled, and the backyard at the back is, by convention, the residence of the county magistrate and his family.

The tip of the pen poked hard...

But when I took a closer look, something suddenly felt strange.

The words were so beautiful that the steward of the county government immediately stood in awe. However, his expression soon became strange, as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's a book? Or an ancient book? Zhang Captou, you really chose a 'good gift'."

"

After asking, without waiting for Zhang Jingxu to answer, he pointed at the painting on the table and introduced it carefully: "Look, look, what is clearly painted here is the majestic and vast torso of the Phoenix..."

"Appreciate your calligraphy?" Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath and walked into the pavilion with a smile on her face.

His tone seemed to be a little worried, but also as if he was earnestly admonishing: "But Mr. Zhang, a gentleman will suffer. Especially if you agree to become the county government's chief arrester, I'm afraid you have made some people unhappy... I'm afraid that the road ahead will be...

You want to be constantly made things difficult for me."

The reason is very simple. Whether it is worshiping gods and eliminating ghosts or local people's livelihood, there are merits to be gained, and they are all huge benefits...

"I want to see how those people in the God's Family Mansion make things difficult for you. If the trouble is too ugly, then we will fight..."

After arriving at the county government office, he made a formal announcement, and soon a butler-looking man came out to greet him. He said with a smile on his face: "Is this Capt. Zhang? My county magistrate is waiting for you in the back house..."

I saw a tall and tall man standing in front of the desk, with a sinister face and a very fierce look. At this time, his eyes were wide open and he was gnashing his teeth viciously.

It is said that not only does he have the power to worship gods and eliminate ghosts, he also has the power to direct local people's livelihood and government affairs. To put it bluntly, everything is because of interests.

Writing?

Zhang Jingxu quickly raised her hands and said with a smile on her face: "I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning, but I'd like to see Haihan."

Helpless, Zhang Jingxu could only hold her breath and lower her eyes to the desk.

Therefore, he has to fight for this benefit.

At this moment, I felt my eyes go dark, and a big face full of flesh came up to me. I saw that the rough county magistrate's eyes were full of longing, and he asked with great expectation: "Captain Zhang, tell the truth. Look at what I drew."

Is it a landscape or a phoenix?"

The tone turned out to be that of speculation.

I saw an antique desk in a pavilion in the courtyard. There was an ancient incense burner on the table, with smoke floating in the air.

He just relied on imagination and thought that what was painted there were two large groups of clouds and mist in the mountains.

Zhang Jingxu became more and more curious, and had some vague guesses in his mind. It seemed that the Yicheng County Magistrate was not the kind of city he thought.

The most important thing is that the big man also cursed: "Mother Qian Xie, the tenth deputy."

It took a long time before the rough man spoke. Instead of asking Zhang Jingxu, he asked the middle-aged housekeeper: "Uncle Liu, tell the truth, can you tell that this is a landscape painting?"

This is a posture that cannot be done without appreciation.

Strike a pose, move closer to the background, express your determination, and firmly choose which team to stand on.

It was difficult for Zhang Jingxu to answer this, so he could only cooperate and act like a gentleman.
To be continued...
