Chapter 770 Taking Office

The carriage reorganized itself in strange and unpredictable ways.

Even the horse that was shot to death came back to life, and everything was transformed from the painting. This scene shocked everyone, and some quick-thinking people had already reacted. He thought these things were life-saving things given to Wu Chong by the Ling family.

The Xiantian family, the Ling family, has this background.

Dai Yong thought so too.

"Uncle, you should save your hand. The man just now is a member of the royal family, and he has the mark of the royal family." Dai Yong, who was on the road again, rode ahead and spoke to Wu Chong with a worried look on his face.

He still felt that Wu Chong had acted a little hastily just now.

Although the Ling family is not afraid of the royal family, that is also the heritage of the Ling family. Now that you are going to take office in the royal family's territory, you still kill the other clan members. Isn't this a slap in the face?

"If you kill someone from the royal family, there will definitely be a lot of trouble later."

"Just crush the troublemaker to death."

Wu Chong's voice came out from inside the carriage.

As soon as these words came out, Dai Yong fell silent for an instant.

For some reason, Dai Yong looked at Wu Chong inside the carriage with a sense of awe in his heart. He found that after leaving the Ling family's residence, his uncle seemed to be a little different. Like a beast that escaped from its cage, there was an aura about it that was not there before.

Is this the real him?

Does the young lady know this side of my uncle?

Dai Yong suddenly became worried, and he found that he seemed to know something terrible.

After solving this batch of ambushes, there were no more troubles on the road behind, and the group arrived at Jianghuai City without any hindrance.

After entering Jianghuai City, I felt the difference.

Compared with Jiangnan, where the Ling family is located, Jianghuai City, a city under the control of the royal family, seemed extremely ordinary. Wu Chong observed the carriage for a long time, but could not find anyone with 'knowledge'. The traffickers and footmen lived their own lives. Their lives were plain and simple, completely different from the area controlled by the Ling family before.

The streets here are exceptionally clean.

Most of the passers-by were ordinary people, and the existence of Shixiu seemed to be in another world, very far away from them.

"The royal family is not an innate family. Although they have some accumulation, their lack of foundation is doomed to their inability to learn and cultivate."

As if he saw what Wu Chong was thinking, Dai Yong next to him said in time.

innate.

Wu Chong heard this gift again. He initially thought it was a realm, but now it seems that it refers to something else.

"Welcome to your lordship. I am sorry to hear you come from afar, but I hope you will forgive me."

Perhaps it was because Wu Chong killed the ambush personnel and arrived early. It took a while after he entered the city before the officials of Jianghuai City reacted.

A group of people hurried over and faced Wu Chong at the gate of the government office.

It is very easy for the actual controller of the city to check the whereabouts of this group of outsiders, and Wu Chong and the others did not deliberately hide it.

They are here to take office, not to be thieves.

"Go in and talk."

Wu rushed out of the carriage, glanced at the officials rushing over, and walked into the government office lobby.

His official position is Governor of Qingjiang, and these local officials are nominally his subordinates.

When the officials who greeted him at the door saw this scene, they all had worried looks on their faces.

They had heard more than half a month ago that the imperial court had appointed a new governor, whose identity was from the Ling family. At the beginning, they thought that the governor would not come to take office. Unexpectedly, only a short time passed before the new governor came.

"what to do?"

"there is always a solution to a problem."

The leading official replied with a gloomy face, and then walked into the main hall.

Zhen Youqian was the inspector general of Jiangyuan, and he was the most qualified to succeed the governorship as Wu Chong was originally unable to come over. When he found out that Wu Chong was from the Ling family, he had been excited for a long time, because he had never heard of anyone from the Xiantian family giving up their status to join the weaker royal family. No one would take the royal family's transfer order seriously. Judging from past experience, Zhen Youqian was already ready to succeed. He had a celebratory drink with his subordinates last night, which was why he was late. Unexpectedly, a new official came to take office in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the other party didn't even ask for their names, it was obvious that they were not easy-going people.

"I hope he will not be ignorant of current affairs, otherwise he will be regarded as a member of the Ling family."

Among several officials, Zhen Youqian was at the forefront.

He looked at Wu Chong's back and began to think about how to deal with the other party's interrogation.

After serving as officials for so many years, they have already taken advantage of Jianghuaicheng's interests, and it is inevitable that there are some shady elements involved. If the newly appointed master is willing to obey, they don't mind spending some of it for everyone to make a fortune together. If the other party is stupid, then Lao Zhen will teach him the principles of being an official.

Jianghuai City is not the territory of the Ling family, so the Ling family made him disappear as if they were anxious.

Of course, this is the last choice. It is the safest to bring the other party in. After all, the Ling family is not an ordinary family, and the consequences of a break-up will be very troublesome.

"I'm new here, so I don't like to talk about nonsense."

Wu Chong sat on the main seat with great dignity and went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth. In the past, officials had no habit of thanking the emperor for his kindness.

"I am a kind-hearted person, and I have always believed in persuading others with virtue."

"Don't worry, sir, we are all moral gentlemen here." Zhen Youqian immediately expressed his stance.

Wu Chong waved his hand, interrupting the group's flattery.

Who doesn’t know how to say nice things? The key is how to do it. He had other purposes for coming here this time, to collect more secrets on knowledge cultivation to speed up his erosion of the way of heaven. He had collected almost all the secret books of the Ling family faction within the Ling family's sphere of influence before. What he needed now was the secret books of the other three families.

"We all serve as officials in the same court, and each of us does our own thing. I won't care about you, so don't bother me."

His attitude made Zhen Youqian and others unclear about his purpose for a while, and they didn't understand whether he was speaking on behalf of the Ling family or whether he meant it personally.

If it was the Ling family's intention, they would naturally think about it carefully.

But if it's just an individual.

A cold look flashed across the faces of Zhen Youqian and the others.

The stupid guy in the officialdom doesn’t understand anything!

It's really ridiculous to think that having a false position can mobilize power. If everything in this world could be solved with fists, there wouldn't be so many troubles. Many times the most troublesome thing is not the hostility, but the fact that you don’t even know who the enemy is.

"yes."

No matter what they thought in their hearts, Zhen Youqian and others still bowed and responded.

In the officialdom, one must follow the rules when doing things. No matter how much they tear things up secretly, on the surface everyone must be indifferent. If you can't do this, you won't be able to become a high official.

"It's okay, just leave."

No matter what Wu Chong thought in their hearts, he never thought that these people would surrender to him just because of a simple meeting. Nagging one's head and praying is the result of a mental illness. Who in the right mind would be willing to bet his life and fortune on a stranger whom he has only met once?

Zhen Youqian and others bowed and left.

The change of governor will still have a certain impact on them. During this period, they should restrain themselves to give the new governor face.
