Chapter 425: It seems like we are back to the beginning [Please subscribe for a monthly ticket]
Chu Chen parachuted into the throne of Dean Huang of the Ghost and God Department of Guangping County. This incident was like a huge stone falling into a clear pond, suddenly breaking the peace of the past.
The entire county's Ghost and God Department was in a state of shock.
In particular, the vice-presidents of each college who boasted of their magical powers and outstanding achievements all lamented and felt extremely disappointed.
There is only half a step between the deputy dean and the dean, but the gap between them is like a chasm.
When a sixth-grade immortal official becomes the head of a courtyard, he or she becomes a candidate for deputy county governor.
If one's Taoist conduct breaks through to the fifth level, as long as one does not fall into evil heretics and make big mistakes, eight to nine out of ten will be promoted to deputy governor of the county, and he will become one of the real top bosses of the county's ghosts and gods.
This can be seen from the way Han Chen was called "Chu Daoyou" by Du Guan.
Although someone parachuted into the position caused a stir, however, no one dared to question the Immortal Court's decision.
It has become a consensus that one will be promoted after graduation from the Duguan Shenghui, and no one can say anything about it.
After the morning meeting, everyone dispersed.
However, everyone was in charge, and the dean and vice-dean moved to the side hall to continue the discussion.
Chu Chen took office as Dean Huang and also attended the meeting.
It is worth mentioning that the old boss Lin Wuqing, as the deputy dean of Huanghaoyuan, took a seat behind Chu Chen and seemed to play the role of assisting Chu Chen.
"Head, long time no see!"
With a smile on his face, Chu Chen greeted his old boss Lin Wuqing through his spiritual consciousness.
He had a pretty good impression of Lin Wuqing.
Lin Wuqing took good care of him when he was in Huanghaoyuan of the County Ghost and God Division.
In order to show respect to his old boss, he deliberately extended the honorific title from back then.
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."
Lin Wuqing felt embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.
The former subordinate climbed over him in the blink of an eye and became his boss.
Anyone facing this situation will feel quite awkward and may not be able to accept it for a while.
Although practitioners don't care that much about the hierarchy of official positions, they still pay attention to the basic hierarchy.
Chu Chen is his boss now. He doesn't dare to ask his boss to call him "head" even if he doesn't say he wants to be respectful.
This is not the informality and carefreeness of immortal cultivators, but rather a lack of knowledge of advancement or retreat.
When Chu Chen saw his old boss Lin Wuqing was restless, he immediately smiled. He called Lin Wuqing his head. He did not mean to ridicule, but simply expressed his closeness.
"You and I are fellow Taoists in the Immortal Courtyard, but you are my old boss. You have taken great care of me. Miaoyin and I are also good friends. Privately, you are my elder. I am the new Huanghaoyuan and the general manager of the Huanghaoyuan.
I am just starting out, and I have many shortcomings in all aspects. I just need an elder to guide me. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."
Chu Chen's posture was very low, without any of the arrogance and arrogance of a young man suddenly experiencing wealth. He looked modest, polite, and very decent.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, a master in the world of spiritual practice is your teacher. Don't mention the past."
Lin Wuqing was always a little unhappy at first, but after hearing Chu Chen's words, he felt much more at ease and was able to correct his position:
"Assisting Fellow Daoist Chu is my duty."
Chu Chen saw his old boss Lin Wuqing calling him "fellow Taoist", so he also addressed him as "fellow Taoist":
"Then there is fellow Taoist Laurin."
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, the high-level discussions of the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods also began.
Under normal circumstances, the large and small errands of the County Ghosts and Gods Department are divided into two parts.
The first part is daily affairs.
The four courtyards of Tiandi Xuanhuang are located in the southeast and northwest. The daily affairs of the whole county are taken care of by the four courtyards respectively. There is no need for several governors to take care of it personally.
The things worth talking about at the Metropolitan Council are all major matters, and most of them involve big cases and involve demonic forces.
Chu Chen once served as the counselor of the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods, and was quite skilled in managing the affairs of the capital's compound.
On the first day he took office, he didn't feel any awkwardness or discomfort at all, and seemed very calm and at ease.
Of course, when he first took office, Chu Chen had been away from Guangping County for a while and did not understand the situation in Guangping County. Chu Chen did not express his opinions very much, adhering to the principle of "listen more and speak less".
However, one case caught Chu Chen's attention.
Speaking of which, that case is related to him.
At first, he was turned into a "donkey" and sold on the street. Later, he accidentally discovered that people who had been "turned into animals" were being trafficked in the mountains, which led to a major case of demon traffickers.
Later, a family of immortal cultivators in Guangping County was involved.
The Xiuxian family is so intertwined that its influence can affect the whole body. The Immortal Court has not taken action yet, but secretly collected evidence and waited for the opportunity to take action.
This immortal cultivating family is the Zeng family in Guangping County, an old immortal cultivating family in Guangping County. There are many talented people in the clan. The Zeng family members have served in the immortal court, the court, and the military, and many Zeng family members hold important positions.
This is also the reason why Xianting has not taken action against the Zeng family.
Xianting wants to find out whether the Zeng family is the mastermind or an accomplice in the "demon trafficker" case, and how deeply involved it is.
Are Zeng's family members who hold important positions involved?
The matter is quite complicated, which is why this big case has been delayed for so long.
When Chu Chen went to the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy to attend the Du Guan Sheng Meeting, Xianting, who had been quietly investigating, finally found out everything.
The Zeng family colluded with the Demon Sect and was deeply involved.
Not only did he "turn into a livestock dealer", Xianting also followed the clues and uncovered many major cases, and the evil deeds of the Zeng family were unearthed, too numerous to list.
The entire Zeng family went astray and fell into the evil ways.
Just when Chu Chen entered the Taoist temple to cultivate, the Guangping County Office and the Guangping County Ghost and God Department jointly took thunderous action against the Zeng family.
The Zeng family, who were holding important positions abroad, were immediately put under control, and the Zeng family in Guangping County was subsequently destroyed.
However, it is inevitable that there will be gaps in a hundred secrets.
Xianting's actions were considered cautious, but the Zeng family had heard the news from somewhere beforehand. Some Zeng family members had escaped the pursuit of the court and Xianting and fled.
People who do a lot of evil often don't feel that they are at fault even if something happens as long as they are not caught.
Especially the Zeng family members who fell into evil ways and had perverse and violent temperaments.
After they escaped, each of them did not repent and admit their mistakes. Instead, they felt that the imperial court and the Immortal Court had hindered the development of the Zeng family and harmed the lives of the entire Zeng family.
After the destruction of the Zeng family, they simply joined the Demon Sect Skull Temple and began to cause trouble in Guangping County, deliberately retaliating against Guangping County and provoking the imperial court and the Immortal Court.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, this case has a lot to do with you. What do you think?"
After briefly talking about the Zeng family's case, Du Guan Han Chen's eyes fell on Chu Chen and asked with a smile.
"This matter has something to do with Chu... Fellow Daoist Chu?"
Deputy Governor Li Guang's face was quite surprised, his eyes also fell on Chu Chen, his thoughts were quite complicated.
He was also very optimistic about Chu Chen and wanted to take him under his command, but unfortunately, it was a step too late.
Chu Chen saw everyone looking at him and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, I have a lot to do with this case. It all started when I was abducted by someone under the Zeng family, turned into a donkey, and sold on the street..."
Chu Chen gave a general account of his own experience, which made everyone in the hall look at each other in shock.
Is there such a thing?
Could it not be said that the destruction of the Zeng family was all due to the kidnapping of Chu Chen by some blind servant?
Everyone was shocked, and Chu Chen's face was full of sighs.
When he took over as Dean Huang, the first difficult case he encountered was actually related to himself.
