Chapter 154 Yanggu County Magistrate Liu Yuhe
Chapter 155 Yanggu County Magistrate Liu Yuhe
Lin Changqing invited Ding Jingtang into the main hall, sat down together, and talked about things while drinking tea.
Lin Changqing briefly talked about his trip to Miao territory, and Ding Jingtang hurriedly talked about the purpose of his visit.
"Inspector Lin, when you come back from Miao territory this time, no one should dare to question you again!"
"Shangguan has always supported you, but Shangguan also has great constraints in the county government. Many things cannot be settled with just one word!"
"During the time you left Yanggu County, the situation in Yanggu County has undergone many changes. The situation in the entire county is very bad!"
"If you are still willing to continue serving the Dawu Dynasty, Inspector Lin, I will take you to see Shangguan, Inspector Lin!"
"Shangguan is very much looking forward to meeting you this time, Inspector Lin!"
Ding Jingtang explained his intention with some restraint.
In the past, the government's attitude towards Lin Changqing was not so polite. It was simply a forced task. Lin Changqing had to do it even if he didn't want to do it.
Even if Ding Jingtang explained that those things were not done by his superiors, Lin Changqing would not believe him.
At least the Nanshan Town mission and the Chamber of Commerce escort mission must have been tacitly approved by his superior.
However, as Lin Changqing's strength continues to increase, other people's attitudes towards him will continue to change, which is something he can expect.
Now that Ding Jingtang wants Lin Changqing to meet his superior, he must first ask Lin Changqing if he is still willing to serve the Dawu Dynasty.
Ding Jingtang no longer dares to say that he is working for his superior, because if Lin Changqing's mysterious background is confirmed, his superior will not be qualified to let Lin Changqing work for him personally.
Therefore, we can only raise the banner of the Dawu Dynasty.
As long as Lin Changqing said he was unwilling, Ding Jingtang had no choice but to go back in despair.
Fortunately, Lin Changqing had originally intended to get a career in the government, so he no longer cared about the past. As long as there were benefits, he was still willing to continue cooperating with Ding Jingtang's superior officer.
Lin Changqing smiled and said to Ding Jingtang: "As a citizen of the Dawu Dynasty, of course I am willing to serve for the Dawu Dynasty!"
"I am still a non-staff patrol officer, and I can be regarded as a member of the government. If anything happens, as long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
"When the superior officer summons me, of course I have to go!"
Lin Changqing speaks very uprightly, and everyone likes to hear good things. If you say a few words that others like to hear, you will not suffer any loss.
When you really need to do something, it depends on the situation. If it is beneficial, do it; if it is not beneficial, push it aside. There is nothing to say.
If we really talk about feelings, Lin Changqing has no feelings for Yanggu County, Shanglin County, Mingzhou, or Dawu Dynasty.
Ding Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Changqing readily agreed to meet Shangguan.
"Then please ask Inspector Lin to prepare. Shangguan is at the county government office. We can go there at any time!"
Ding Jingtang knew that Lin Changqing had just returned home, so he didn't dare to rush him. He just pointed out that Shangguan was waiting and let Lin Changqing decide the specific departure time.
"Then please ask Inspector Ding to stay here for a while. I'll be ready and set off!"
Lin Changqing got up and went back to the bedroom. He wanted to prepare a gift brought back from the Miao Territory for the county government official. It didn't need to be expensive, as long as it was a product of the Miao Territory and could represent his feelings.
Lin Changqing didn't know who Shangguan was, but there were some guesses. Ding Jingtang didn't dare to reveal Shangguan's identity easily without Shangguan's permission.
Lin Changqing chose a Gu insect product with a very good meaning, packaged it and held it in his hand. It looked much better than empty-handed.
Just as he was about to go out, someone knocked on the courtyard door outside again.
This time the visitors were Cheng Lihu and Song Chuanxin, the two leaders of the Little Knife Gang. Speaking of which, Lin Changqing had a life-saving grace for them.
If they had left the camp later that night, they would all have died during the escort mission.
After receiving the news that Lin Changqing was back today, the two of them rushed over immediately.
"Hall Master! Hall Master Song!" Lin Changqing opened the courtyard door and greeted him with a smile.
"Chang Qing! You are finally back!"
"You don't know, during this period, Lao Song and I had trouble sleeping and eating!"
"I'm afraid something might happen to you!"
When Cheng Lihu saw Lin Changqing, he wanted to hug him, but when he saw Tieniu and Ding Jingtang standing in Lin Changqing's yard, he restrained himself a lot.
"It turns out that Inspector Ding arrived before us!"
Everyone in the yard, except Tieniu, knows each other.
Lin Changqing introduced Tieniu to Cheng Lihu and Song Chuanxin. When they learned that Tieniu was Lin Changqing's guard, they were both surprised.
The two also discovered Lin Changqing and Xiaohu, Xiaoqing's changes in strength, and the very conspicuous horse treading the snow in the yard.
The two of them knew in their hearts that Lin Changqing had become different when he came back this time.
Song Chuanxin saw Lin Changqing carrying a gift and asked, "Is Changqing preparing to go out?"
Lin Changqing smiled and said: "Yes, Inspector Ding personally invited me. I want to go to the county government office!"
"These are some specialties I brought back from Miao territory, Tieniu, go get some specialties and give them to Inspector Ding and the two hall masters!"
Lin Changqing showed the gifts in his hands to a few people, and then asked Tieniu to get Miao Xinjiang specialties and give them to a few people.
This can be regarded as an official announcement to the outside world that he has returned from Miao territory with a full load!
The specialties of Miao territory are better than novelty, and many of them are Gu insect products. Ding Jingtang, Cheng Lihu and Song Chuanxin refused, and all accepted an exquisite Gu insect handicraft.
When the three of them looked at the frogs, snakes, centipedes and spiders on the bamboo stick in Lin Changqing's hand, they all thought they were Gu insect handicrafts from Miao territory. With their strength, they could not see through Guagua and its three contracted Gu insects.
The reality.
When Cheng Lihu and Song Chuanxin learned that Lin Changqing was going to the county government, they left together with Lin Changqing and Ding Jingtang. Lin Changqing made an appointment with the two of them to go to the Xiaodao Gang the next day and everyone would talk in detail together.
Lin Changqing still brought all his combat power with him on this trip. He only took down the items carried by Xiaoqing and Tuxue. The rest remained unchanged from when he returned to the city.
In fact, there are not many things that others can see, just two people, two dogs and a horse.
Lin Changqing has only one bodyguard, so he must take it with him when he goes out.
Lin Changqing's two iconic spirit dogs never leave his body, so they must be brought with him.
Coupled with the addition of a new mount, they all go to the county government office, which is very reasonable.
On the way, Cheng Lihu and Song Chuanxin said goodbye and left, and Ding Jingtang took Lin Changqing to the county government office.
With Ding Jingtang leading the way, Lin Changqing made it through the county government office smoothly, all the way to the main house in the backyard of the county government office.
It was only then that Lin Changqing finally determined that Ding Jingtang's Shangguan was the mysterious magistrate of Yanggu County.
Only county magistrates directly appointed by the Dawu Dynasty court would live in the main house in the backyard of the county government.
This is because county magistrates are appointed from other places and basically do not have a residence in the county seat. They can only live in the county government office.
Although the main backyard house of the Yanggu County government office is not very luxurious, the overall design layout is still very stylish and makes people look very comfortable.
The main house was unattended. Ding Jingtang was familiar with the door and the road. He pushed the door open, turned left and right, and came to a small courtyard with a pleasant scenery.
Sitting beside the stone table in the pavilion in the middle of the pond in the courtyard is a young and handsome scholar in white.
A pot of tea, a book, and a folding fan, it looks very leisurely and comfortable.
This is the first time that Lin Changqing has seen such a scholarly person in this world. The miscellaneous scholar from the county academy he saw last time should not be considered a scholar in the true sense.
"Tieniu, you take Xiaohu, Xiaoqing and Taxue and wait here. I'll go there alone!"
When Lin Changqing saw that the real owner was alone, he ordered Tieniu and his conspicuous pets to stop and stop following him.
"Yes, sir!"
Tieniu responded.
He knew that the strongest combat power around Lin Changqing was with him. Whether they could keep up or not, it didn't make much difference.
"Tie Guard, please wait for me for a moment, I'll be here right away!" Ding Jingtang said to Tieniu apologetically.
Tieniu just smiled innocently.
The scholar in white in the pavilion in the middle of the pond had already seen Lin Changqing and was getting up with a smile, wanting to come over to greet Lin Changqing.
Ding Jingtang hurriedly led Lin Changqing over.
"Inspector Lin, this is the magistrate of Yanggu County!"
"Sir, this is Inspector Lin!"
Ding Jingtang introduced the two of them respectfully.
"Lin Changqing pays homage to the county magistrate!" Lin Changqing gave a courtesy as a lower official meets a superior official. The etiquette was very thoughtful.
He lowered his status just to test the county magistrate's attitude. He would decide how to get along and cooperate with the county magistrate based on his attitude.
"Liu Yuhe of the Liu family in Hongzhou has met Young Master Lin!" Liu Yuhe accepted Lin Changqing's gift, announced his family name, and addressed himself as Young Master.
By doing this, Liu Yuhe was tantamount to becoming an equal with Lin Changqing, regardless of his official status.
This means that Liu Yuhe has fully recognized Lin Changqing’s identity and status.
Seeing Liu Yuhe treat each other like this, Lin Changqing did not pretend to be reserved and said with a smile: "Liu County Magistrate, you should be very clear about my background. I cannot be called a young master!"
At this time, Ding Jingtang had already left without hesitation to receive Tieniu.
"Master Lin's fortune is extraordinary, and his current status is beyond the reach of Yuhe!"
"How about we become equals and call each other by our first names?"
Liu Yuhe took the initiative to clarify the relationship.
Lin Changqing responded: "In that case, you can be more casual in private!"
"This is a specialty I brought back from Miao territory. It's quite elegant!"
Lin Changqing presented the gift in his hand, and Liu Yuhe accepted it happily.
The two of them no longer struggled with their official status and got along much more harmoniously. Liu Yuhe looked very young and should be no more than a few years older than Lin Changqing.
But his strength is truly at the eighth level!
Lin Changqing knows that even if Liu Yuhe is not a genius, he is not far behind him.
Chapter completed!
