In the Gu family's small courtyard, the candlelight remained on all night.
In the back house of the government office, the magistrate of Anping County also stayed up all night.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Within the county government!
Shen Shaokang was panting like an ox at this time, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable anger.
Ever since he started his official career, he has never suffered such humiliation!
Not to mention, despite his previous display of wisdom in front of Gu Changsheng, he didn't mind Gu Changsheng's break with him.
But in fact, Shen Shaokang knew very clearly.
It is true that Gu Changsheng followed the path of painting and his future achievements will be limited, but he, Shen Shaokang, is not a big shot at least now.
Gu Changsheng would not deliberately target himself if he had a bad relationship with a wise man who ruled the country.
His future career will definitely be cast a shadow!
Even if he has some connections and connections in Tianjing, it will be impossible for him to take a step forward within three to five years.
Not to mention.
"When a wise man is born in the country, the court will definitely grant him a title and a generous reward."
Those elixirs that are generously rewarded are better in gold and silver.
There is no need for Tianjing, as long as the county to which Anping County is affiliated can deal with it and send an envoy down.
But the reward of the title will require at least a seventh-grade monk or above to serve as an imperial envoy!
"You don't need to worry about the envoys from the county and city, but if the seventh-grade overhaul comes to Anping, my arrangements..."
Shen Shaokang took a deep breath, but his heart was trembling slightly!
The reason why he was so eager to seize Su Rou's official seal was partly because he wanted to break through the situation, and partly because Su Rou killed the demon and solved the crisis in Anping County.
But it also disrupted the layout of Shen Shaokang, the master behind him, in Yangling County and even the entire Nankang Mansion.
Although now Su Rou has been dethroned as the head catcher by himself.
But after Gu Changsheng was knighted, everything became difficult to say...
"Sir, how should we deal with this son Gu Changsheng..."
Lin Yian's tone was full of panic.
As the chief of the county, Bo is the deputy to the county magistrate.
He and Shen Shaokang have long been grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
In particular, Lin Yian was also involved in Shen Shaokang's secret collusion with the tiger demon.
If Gu Changsheng was really impulsive, he would try his best to track down the evil spirit's intrusion into Anping County.
I can't say that in the end, the tiger demon case will really be investigated!
Until then.
Not to mention that Shen Shaokang was born in Juren and had a master of the house who came to protect him in the same year. He could not escape the consequences of smashing the tomb and being dismissed from office!
And Lin Yian, a small Gongsheng student, will end up worse than Shen Shaokang!
"Shut up, he's just a little scholar, what other tricks can he come up with?!"
Shen Shaokang's face was gloomy. Looking at Lin Yian who looked frightened, he couldn't help scolding him.
Gu Changsheng's sudden appearance was beyond his expectation.
At this time, Shen Shaokang was also in a mess, but he was still much better than Lin Yian.
After all, Lin Yian only had him as his backer.
But he, Shen Shaokang, is not without a backing!
"Then Gu Changsheng, you'd better forget about this matter, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel!"
There was a killing intent in Shen Shaokang's eyes!
Seeing this scene, Lin Yian became more and more frightened.
The wise man who killed the country?
Just kidding!
A wise man who can do great things for the country is as valuable to the country as a city, or even more than a city!
If you really want to do this...
Lin Yian no longer dared to think about what would happen to him after this incident was discovered.
He was full of regrets now, why he had listened to Shen Shaokang's lies and got on this pirate ship with him.
If Shen Shaokang hadn't appeared, he would still have been able to safely serve as the head of his Anping County. After passing the exam in three years, even if he couldn't be promoted, he could still be transferred to another county and accumulate experience during one term.
It’s not like there’s no way out!
However, no matter how much Lin Yian regretted it now, it was already too late.
Shen Shaokang looked at Lin Yian coldly and said in a deep voice: "Master Lin Bo, let me remind you that now, neither you nor I have any second way to go."
"Tomorrow, go to the Su Mansion again, pay a visit to Gu Changsheng, and tell him that I, Shen Shaokang, don't want to be friends with him. As long as he is willing to nod, the charlatanism thing will be exposed. Yesterday I brought him I still give you the gifts I gave you! I will also give Su Rou his head-catching position back to him..."
Shen Shaokang's words have not yet been finished.
In his arms, a fluorescent light suddenly flashed.
Shen Shaokang's expression changed, and he quickly took out the jade pendant, tapped it gently, and a stream of vitality was absorbed into it, accompanied by a burst of fluorescent light.
A cold voice came quietly from the jade pendant.
"County Magistrate Shen, it has been found out above that the work of Zhen Guo came from the county under your control."
"There is only one command from the Lord."
"It is a great blessing for the dynasty that a wise man has appeared in the country. Unfortunately, the timing of this son's birth is too unlucky, and it can easily mess up your plans."
"so."
"This child cannot be kept."
"No... you can't stay?!"
After hearing this order.
Lin Yian was completely shattered.
He looked at Shen Shaokang, his eyes nearly bulging out of his sockets. He took a deep breath and forced out a sentence through his teeth: "Master Shen...killing the sages of the country...that is a major crime against the nine tribes! "
"Shut up..."
Shen Shaokang's face at this time was also extremely livid.
Although he had already developed murderous intentions towards Gu Chang.
But if they can coexist peacefully, he doesn't want to risk killing the nine tribes and embark on this path.
But now, he has no choice.
Looking at the jade pendant that had returned to silence, murderous intent gradually grew in Shen Shaokang's eyes.
"Lin Master Bo," Shen Shaokang suddenly turned his head, stared at Lin Yi'an, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to panic, that Gu Changsheng is just a tenth-level Painting Dao without any fighting ability. Even with Su Rou beside him, It won’t cause any trouble!”
"But……"
Lin Yian opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.
But Shen Shaokang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore.
"Snapped!"
A stack of books was thrown directly in Lin Yian's face by Shen Shaokang.
[Illustrated Chronicles of Strange News from the Great Zhou Dynasty·Stories from Nankang Prefecture]
[File 17: Tiger Monster]
Lin Yian subconsciously took the stack of books, and the first thing that caught his eye were these two lines of large characters!
"Tiger...tiger monster?!"
Lin Yian finally couldn't help but exclaimed!
weird!
Among the monsters, it is the strangest and most terrifying!
Weird people, invisible and incorporeal, are rooted deep in the minds of mortals and exist in countless rumors and rumors.
They are a pure aggregation of consciousness, but they have the strange existence of entities!
What creates them is one after another widely circulated among the people, which sounds ridiculous!
The tiger monster is the most widely circulated monster in Nankang Mansion!
Lin Yian originally thought that Shen Shaokang was just cooperating with a tiger demon.
But he never expected that the person Shen Shaokang was colluding with was the tiger monster who had been entrenched in Nankang Mansion for many years and had been offered rewards by successive Nankang officials to capture and exterminate him countless times, but in the end he failed to do so!
"This tiger monster was also provided by that big shot."
Shen Shaokang's eyes were filled with abnormal blood red. He raised his hand and landed on the official seal on his waist.
Lin Yian's pupils suddenly dilated.
He saw that Shen Shaokang's official seal was so rich that it was obviously not the hundreds of strands of luck that a ninth-grade county magistrate could accumulate during his two-year term.
This kind of luck is so powerful that it almost turns into reality.
This kind of luck is the best food for practitioners to practice!
"this……"
Lin Yian's voice was a little trembling.
But Shen Shaokang had already regained his composure and said in a cold voice: "This luck is a gift from that gentleman over the years."
"Others are obtained through plunder and robbery over the years."
"Then Su Rou's luck is also among them."
"After this is accomplished, I can share 30% of the power of luck with you!"
"You just need to find a way to get rid of Gu Changsheng with the help of that weirdo before the imperial court's decree comes down!"
Lin Yian took a deep breath, and then nodded fiercely!
That tiger monster already had the strength of the early eighth level when it was registered in Nankang Mansion.
Over the years, Shen Shaokang used various means to spread anecdotes about tiger demons and ghosts in Anping County and surrounding areas.
After several years of accumulation, it’s hard to say that the strength will be further improved!
To deal with the Gu family... it's definitely enough!
Lin Yian and Shen Shaokang looked at each other, both seeing the deep helplessness in each other's eyes and on their own faces.
The two of them, even now, don't know who the adult is who is hiding in the dark and protecting them.
But now, they have no way out.
Gu Changsheng and them.
Only one side can survive!
And this party... is definitely not Gu Changsheng!
