Xiushui County Magistrate Liu Yi's show of goodwill or reminder before leaving made Wu Dong a little wary.
The man left very quickly. Seven days after the opening ceremony of the Xiushui section of the canal, he left by boat with his entourage and family members.
When Wu Dong heard the news, he just sent the people away at the dock without saying anything else.
Unexpectedly, the new county magistrate arrived three days later, named Zhao Guang.
This guy actually came over by boat directly from the Linjiang section of the canal.
By the way, just a few days before Liu Yi left, the entire Linjiang Canal was completely opened.
In other words, the 300-mile river from Xiushui River to Linjiang has been completely connected through canals.
Wu Dong specially took a boat and strolled around the canal.
After the three-hundred-mile ditch filled with sword intent was filled with river water and river water, the monstrous sword intent contained in it was not affected.
Obviously, not only Wu Dong, but also the members of the Linjiang branch, including a group of foreign warriors, all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Also because of the opening of the canal, the waterway from Linjiang to Xiushui is very convenient, and many foreign warriors come to Xiushui by boat.
They knew that the helmsman of Xiu Shui Shui was Wu Dong, so naturally they did not dare to make any mistakes.
However, as the number of foreign warriors increased, Xiu Shui Shui Duo and the local local snake forces still suffered a lot of impacts.
Wu Dong didn't bother to pay attention to these, but he didn't expect that the new county magistrate, Zhao Guang, actually came from the Linjiang section of the canal, which was very interesting.
What's even more interesting is that this guy's cultivation level is much better than that of his predecessor Liu Yi, reaching the late stage Xiantian level, and his aura cannot be concealed.
Wu Dong has been basically staying in Xiushui County in recent days and has not returned to the small waterfall for meditation, so Zhao Guang knew about it as soon as he entered the city.
This guy was impatient, so he probably hadn't even warmed up to the chair at the county government office yet, so he immediately sent a greeting card to Wu Dong, inviting him to have a meal at the most famous restaurant in the county town in the evening.
It was only after they met that Wu Dong noticed this guy's specific cultivation level from his deeply hidden aura.
It's weird to say the least. Whether it's the former county magistrate Liu Yi or the current Zhao Guang, everyone is trying their best to hide their cultivation. I don't know what they are thinking?
"Don't say secret words in front of Mingren!"
After Wu Dong sat down and had refreshments, Zhao Guang went straight to the point: "I know that the Evil Tiger Village Branch helmed by Your Excellency Xiushui County has the final say!"
Wu Dong nodded slightly, indicating to the other party to continue.
"I hope to get the same treatment as Liu Yi!"
Zhao Guang stated directly: "Don't worry, I will act honestly and in accordance with the rules set by you!"
"With your strength, you shouldn't be afraid of me as the new county magistrate, right?"
"If you know what's going on, I'll be happy and relaxed!"
Wu Dong smiled and said: "I am very curious, with your strength, why would you be willing to come to Xiushui and become a county magistrate?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Your Majesty's discernment!"
His eyes narrowed slightly, Zhao Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, do you know that Liu Yi has taken advantage of him, otherwise there would be no chance of being transferred to the capital?"
"I really don't know this!"
Wu Dong said frankly: "When he left, he told me to be careful, but I didn't know what he meant. Can Magistrate Zhao tell me something?"
"Hmph, the Liu family is indeed not a good person!"
Zhao Guang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "The thing is actually very simple. If the magistrate of Xiushui County does well, like Liu Yi did, he can get a big opportunity!"
"Big opportunity?"
Wu Dong became interested and asked curiously: "Can you tell me about it?"
"cannot!"
Zhao Guang said calmly: "It concerns a secret jointly kept by the royal family, powerful sects, gangs, and aristocratic families!"
"Your Excellency, you can ask the top management of Evil Tiger Village if they know about it. If they don't know, I can't just talk nonsense!"
"Don't think about using forceful means to force a confession. I am a descendant of the royal family. If something happens to you, you probably don't want to know how serious the consequences will be!"
This time, Wu Dong was really surprised.
After looking at Zhao Guang carefully for a while, he didn't expect that this guy was actually a member of the royal family.
Although he didn't know much about the royal family, he was a descendant of a branch of the royal family and was a late-stage innate warrior. He was young and promising in any way, and he was actually willing to come to Xiushui to be a puppet-like magistrate. In fact, it was very strange.
He was more curious about the 'great opportunity' that Zhao Guang mentioned.
The atmosphere of the banquet this time was pretty good. At least Zhao Guang paid enough attention to it and his attitude was okay.
As for whether he can be as honest and peaceful as he says, time can only tell.
Anyway, Wu Dong has nothing to worry about, unless he has the strength to defeat himself, and there are not two heavenly and human level warriors, so don't even think about it.
So what about the children of the royal family? In this world where martial arts flourish, to put it bluntly, we still have to rely on our fists to speak.
This is the territory of Evil Tiger Village, and the entire Jiangling County government is extremely weak.
Regardless of what Zhao Guang said about the serious consequences of an accident, how many powerful people could the royal family mobilize to come over if an accident really happened?
Do you really think that the power of the Dadao Alliance, the Hanjiang Gang, and the three families of the Evil Tiger Village are just paper?
Returning to the branch, Wu Dong immediately wrote Zhao Guang's remarks into a letter and sent it to the leader of the village, wanting to find out what happened.
Obviously, there is a 'big opportunity' that is an open secret known to all the established forces.
He wanted to ask, did the leader and the higher-ups of the village know?
In addition to wanting to know what this so-called "big opportunity" is, I also want to find out what Zhao Guang said about the big advantage that the previous county magistrate Liu Yi took?
His advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.
Not to mention, Liu Yi seemed to have dug a hole for himself before leaving.
If Zhao Guangchu had not been frank enough and explained the situation clearly, the relationship between the two would not have been simple and easy.
According to Zhao Guang, he just hopes to get the same treatment as Liu Yi and be in charge of people's livelihood and government affairs in Xiushui County. As for the supervision of the branch, he remains unchanged.
In fact, this is what Wu Dong needs.
The practice of "White Tiger Gang" was almost complete, and he didn't want to affect his normal practice because of some trivial matters.
However, Wu Dong never expected that his letter of inquiry would cause such a big stir.
Within a few days, Longtou's letter arrived.
Opening the letter, Wu Dong couldn't help but be a little surprised by the content inside.
Nothing else. First of all, Longtou said that he didn't know what the secrets hidden by the old forces were, and he was trying to find out.
Another thing is to tell Wu Dong that in the past year, Evil Tiger Village has seven counties under its jurisdiction, six of which have changed their county magistrates.
The letter clearly states that I didn't feel anything about it before, but now I feel very inappropriate.
I made a special inquiry and found out that the origins of these new county magistrates were all extraordinary. They were either from aristocratic families or were famous and powerful children.
As for Zhao Guang, the new magistrate of Xiushui County, Longtou said in the letter that Wu Dong should be allowed to perform freely.
Tsk…
After putting the letter away, Wu Dong felt a little sore in his balls.
It seems that Evil Tiger Village has recently emerged and has not yet been fully integrated into the circle of major forces.
What a bullshit. One of the three major gangs in Jiangling County. It seems that such a name is a bit false.
Wu Dong was too lazy to pay attention to this and had been sitting at the helm for almost half a month.
During this period, Zhao Guang had been behaving in a well-behaved manner, with an attitude of being indifferent and following the rules, which allowed the county government to operate normally without any chaos.
The problem is not without problems. Perhaps due to his background, this guy basically has no concept of ordinary people and does not fully understand some measures to benefit the people.
Wu Dong saw it in his eyes and could not give any advice. As long as he did not randomly change the rules set by the branch, there would be no chaos in Xiushui County.
Seeing that Zhao Guang did not do anything extraordinary, he was too lazy to continue observing.
I said hello to the Linjiang Branch, which is connected to the nearby canal. If Zhao Guang wants to play some conspiracy and something happens to the Xiushui Branch, please ask the Linjiang Branch to help suppress it.
Wu Dong made it very clear that he had to spend a lot of time cultivating himself and had no time to pay attention to those things that were not there.
If Zhao Guang is dishonest, he will just suppress and replace him.
According to him, if he is forced to leave Xiushui, he will probably lose a big opportunity, but it is not clear how credible his words are.
No matter what, Wu Dong didn't think much of it, and soon quietly returned to the house beside the small waterfall to continue his previous practice.
Wu Dong's actions naturally fell into the eyes of the thoughtful Zhao Guang.
Obviously, the power behind Zhao Guang is much stronger than that of the previous county magistrate Liu Yi.
The warriors following him were of extraordinary strength, and Fu Yu kept an eye on Wu Dong, Xiu Shui's de facto boss.
"Wu Dong is really an interesting guy!"
Zhao Guang smiled at his confidants: "If I hadn't known that he didn't know about that matter, I would have really suspected that this guy was preparing for what happened next!"
"Would you like to test it out to see what level this guy's strength is?"
A confidant suggested: "Xiu Shui Shui Duo is the most mysterious guy. I don't know what level of external skills he has reached?"
"It's better not to use it, the current situation is good!"
Zhao Guang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "As long as this guy doesn't violate the agreement, we don't need to do anything. Once a conflict occurs, the consequences are really unpredictable!"
"But, as far as I know, those other guys are planning to go to great lengths to completely control the county where they are located!"
The confidant said worriedly: "If we let them do it, it will look like we are here..."
The words were not fully stated, but the meaning was quite clear.
"Don't worry!"
Zhao Guang waved his hand and said indifferently: "I really think that Evil Tiger Village is a soft persimmon. Even if their recent rise lacks foundation, they are not so easy to deal with!"
"If necessary, can we secretly reveal some information? It would be really interesting if all the direct descendants of those families could be appointed to their posts!"
The confidants around me felt a chill. Can this be called interesting? I am afraid that a war will break out...
