When he returned to his residence and entered the dilapidated house, Lu Xiaoxian saw a young man in white and was chatting with Zhang Meng happily.

The young man in white is nothing but Xie Yunxuan.

Xie Yunxuan's sudden appearance once again verified one sentence: It's not that enemies don't get together.

When I saw Xie Yunxuan again, Lu Xiaoxian's mood became depressed: I haven't seen each other for many years, this guy is still so handsome, and he is even more handsome than before.

If Xie Yunxuan had not appeared, Lu Xiaoxian would still be confident in his appearance. But against the backdrop of Xie Yunxuan, he became a "chicken standing next to the crane". His "chicken" really wanted to be far away from Xie Yunxuan's "crown".

Xie Yunxuan took the initiative to greet Lu Xiaoxian and said, "Junior Brother Lu, we are meeting again!"

Lu Xiaoxian said to Xie Yunxuan very seriously: "Senior Brother Yunxuan, my master is dead. His competition agreement with your master is written off. No one of us has to mess around. You can go back wherever you come from!"

"Master uncle is dead? How is this possible?" Xie Yunxuan was stunned and then smiled: "Junior Brother Lu, stop teasing, Master uncle is so stupid, how can he die?"

Looking at Xie Yunxuan's bad expression, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly felt a little bad: Is this still the kind and simple Xie Yunxuan back then? The shadow of an immoral ghost is clearly flashing on his body.

I am not afraid of handsome guys being gentlemen, but I am afraid of handsome guys being scoundrels. Originally, Lu Xiaoxian lived under the shadow of Xie Yunxuan's handsome guys. If he learns more rogue than himself, he would not have a better life in the future.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel a little anxious and said in a panic: "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to look at Yunshan. My master's grave is still there!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Yunxuan said calmly: "I don't care whether the master is dead or not. My master only asked me to follow Junior Brother Lu. It is difficult to violate the order of his master. Please forgive me!"

After saying that, Xie Yunxuan held his hands in front of his chest, looked at Lu Xiaoxian with a smile, and looked like you were doing what you did to me.

Lu Xiaoxian thought he was a bird out of the cage and could fly freely, but Xie Yunxuan insisted on getting in. This guy was originally cunning, but now his face has become much thicker than before, which is even harder to deal with.

Lu Xiaoxian begged: "Senior Brother Yunxuan, just let me go. Why did you force me? I really don't want to compete with you!"

Xie Yunxuan shook his head firmly: "It's not that I want to force you. There are some things in this world that we can't control!"

Lu Xiaoxian admitted defeat and said, "Even if that's the case, look at my current situation and it's difficult for me to survive. How can I compete with you? I can give up, right?"

"It's not okay to admit defeat. We must compete fairly!" Xie Yunxuan smiled slightly, "As for your current situation, don't worry, I will help you until you are qualified to compete!"

Xie Yunxuan paused and said, "I heard that you are going to Nanba County to experience it. This decision is good. I'll go with you!"

Lu Xiaoxian glared at Zhang Meng fiercely. This guy was so ecstatic that he easily betrayed Xie Yunxuan.

Zhang Meng stuck out his tongue and turned his head to the side.

Xie Yunxuan was not soaked in water and fire, which completely left Lu Xiaoxian.

He really couldn't figure it out, was Xie Yunxuan's life really too light and he treated himself as salt.

...

The wind is blowing and rain is falling. The continuous peaks are also restrained in the slanting wind and drizzle and become more honest. The country roads are bumpy, rainwater gathers, muddy, mixed with the fragrance of the soil, with a unique flavor.

On the way to Nanba County, Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng were walking on the muddy road, and Xie Yunxuan, dressed in white, followed leisurely behind them.

Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng were chatting without a word. In fact, it was mainly Zhang Meng who was talking and Lu Xiaoxian who was listening.

The mud under his feet was wrapped around his shoes and could not be shaken off, which made Lu Xiaoxian miserable. In fact, what really made him depressed was the appearance of Xie Yunxuan.

Xie Yunxuan looked very good. He smiled and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "This is what people often say is covered in dust on sunny days and mud on rainy days, right?"

Zhang Meng said angrily: "It's so good at home, but everything is difficult to go out. I'm not staying at home forever. I have to go to the county town. I don't know what kind of disease I have committed!"

"What's the point of staying at home?" Lu Xiaoxian curled his lips, "What a great scenery outside, how can I compare to Kushui Village?"

Lu Xiaoxian said to Zhang Meng solemnly: "You have to regret it, you can go back now!"

"How could I regret it?" Zhang Meng jumped high like a cat with a trampled tail, "I will go wherever you go. Don't try to drive me away, you can't drive me away..."

After hearing Zhang Meng's words, Xie Yunxuan couldn't help but sigh that Lu Xiaoxian has such a sincere brother, which is really enviable.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Meng and said for a long time: "Since that's the case, then you have to follow my arrangements in the future and never do anything without authorization!"

"Don't worry!" Zhang Meng agreed happily.

...

After entering the county town and asking someone to ask, Lu Xiaoxian went directly to the only pawnshop in the county town. He asked Zhang Meng to take out a piece of the size of a palm from the bag and hand it to the shopkeeper.

Lu Xiaoxian said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, look, how much can this cost?"

This thing was given to them by Yaofeng when Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng left Wangyun Mountain. Yaofeng told them that if they lack money after going down the mountain, they could use this thing to exchange for silver at the pawnshop!

The shopkeeper was obviously aware of the goods. He glanced at something dark like wood and raised his eyebrows: "Agarwood?"

Agarwood is also known as "Shenshuixiang". Since ancient times, among the "Shenshen Sandal Dragon Musk", agarwood has been listed as the first among all incenses.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded slightly.

The shopkeeper took a basin of clear water and put the agarwood into the water.

After concentrating for a while, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Your agarwood is half floating and half sinking, it is an ordinary yellow ripe fragrance, worth up to ten taels of silver."

Zhang Meng didn't know anything about agarwood. Seeing such a piece of rotten wood, he could exchange for ten taels of silver, and almost glared out his eyes.

The shopkeeper said with regret: "If it is agarwood that sinks into the water, it will cost at least fifty taels of silver!"

"Junior Brother Lu, I think it should be more than this price!" Xie Yunxuan whispered from the side.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Xie Yunxuan, nodded and said, "What I said is, I won't do it anymore!"

After taking back the agarwood, Lu Xiaoxian asked the shopkeeper casually, "Shopkeeper, do you know if the county yard recruits convicts and provocateurs?"

"Young Master asked what this is for?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised.

"I want to find a constable's errand!" Lu Xiaoxian said straightforwardly.

"Ah? Be a constable?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised and looked at Lu Xiaoxian up and down.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Lu Xiaoxian looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.

"Young Master, the constable is a low-ranking servant!" The shopkeeper kindly reminded Lu Xiaoxian, "The prostitutes, superiors, subordinates and soldiers under the civilians are all low-ranking servants, including the constable."

The shopkeeper saw Lu Xiaoxian being elegant and handsome, and was afraid that he would not know it and explained in detail: "The government gave the constable and yamen runners a small amount of work and food, only a few taels of silver a year. It is difficult for the constable and yamen runners to have enough food. Many people who are constable and yamen runners are not for this pitiful work and food, but for the purpose of oppressing goodness, acting as a mighty and doing good deeds, and doing all the business that deals with the people. Therefore, the constable and yamen runners are not able to do it just by wanting to do it, and they have to wait in line for seats. As far as I know, there are only sixteen regular officers in Nanba County, and there is no vacancy at present."

"There are only sixteen constables? No way?" Lu Xiaoxian widened his eyes, "There were more than sixteen I met on the street and at the county government office just now!"

"Sixteen are right!" said the shopkeeper, "Although the people you see are wearing constable uniforms, they are not necessarily constables, most of them are deputy or white servants!"

"What is the deputy servant white servant?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"The county government has sixteen regular officers, and there are certainly not enough, so some deputy officers who help the regular officer perform their official duties. There are also many rogues who want to be constables voluntarily follow the constable and help, called white servants. Often a regular officer has two or three deputy officers, and each deputy officer has two or three white servants. Therefore, the young master saw far more than sixteen people."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lu Xiaoxian understood. These sixteen constables were staff members who were in the financial sector, while the deputy and Baifu were temporary security officers and joint defense officers.

Lu Xiaoxian was a little disappointed: "So, there is no hope!"

"Young Master, do you really want to be a constable?" the shopkeeper asked again.

"You have a way?" Lu Xiaoxian could hear something in the shopkeeper's words.

The shopkeeper quietly said to Lu Xiaoxian: "The way is that the young master can spend money to rent a constable from the rich family, but I don't know if he can rent it for a while!"

"What?" Lu Xiaoxian was shocked: "Can the constable be rented at the location?"

"That's right!" It seemed that the shopkeeper was very clear about the tricks inside and talked freely: "Although the constable and yamen runners are untouchables and have little formal income, they can be exempted from other corvee labor. Therefore, some wealthy families in the city will buy a constable seat to avoid other corvee labor, and then rent out the seats to collect rent."

"So that's the case!" Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized and said to the shopkeeper, "Please help me find out if there are any rich households who are willing to rent out the position of a constable. If they can rent it, I will give you five taels of silver to pay!"

"No problem!" Seeing that there was money to make, the shopkeeper smiled, "Young Master, please wait for my good news!"

"Let me do this, I will pay two taels of silver as a deposit first, and I will come to you in three days!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand at Zhang Meng: "Give the shopkeeper two taels of silver!"

The twenty taels of silver given by Li Xun was in the bag that Zhang Meng carried. When Zhang Meng heard that Lu Xiaoxian wanted to give the shopkeeper two taels of silver, he couldn't help but feel the pain, and his subordinates hesitated.

Lu Xiaoxian glared at Zhang Meng, and was about to get angry, Zhang Meng quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"

Xie Yunxuan looked around, feeling funny and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was so generous, the shopkeeper patted him with his chest and promised that he would rent a position as a constable.
