Xu Chong drank a full pot of tea as usual, pushed the door open and went straight to Zhentianfu Yamen.
The government office is also located in the east of the city, only two streets away from the Qintian Prison, and it can be reached in a short time.
To be honest, the government office of Zhentian Mansion looks similar to Zhang Hua's. Compared with the specifications of the capital, it seems a bit shabby.
But after thinking about it, Xu Chong could understand.
At the local level, the prefect is the head of a party and needs a luxurious building to support the place and stand.
But in the capital and the capital, Fu Yin was just an insignificant official.
Even if the position is raised to the third level, the scope of power is still the same, but there are still bigger officials above him, and there are many of them.
It is inevitable to keep a low profile.
"The new deputy supervisor of Qin Tian Jian?"
Si Yan looked at Xu Chong's azure gown and said, "Master Fu Yin is at work. Master Xu, please go to the side hall and wait for a while. I will go and inform you."
"Good work."
Xu Chong nodded and went to the side hall under the leadership of the Yamen servant.
Before long, a middle-aged man with a calm face strode in.
"Xu Chong, deputy supervisor of Qintian Supervisor, has met Su Fuyin."
Xu Chong stood up and clasped his fists.
I have already found out his name. It is Su Chongjiu. I think he was born on September 9th.
"No need to be polite."
Su Chongjiu waved his hand and sat down on the main seat. There was neither intimacy nor distance on his face, "I wonder why Inspector Xu is here?"
"Don't dare to lie."
Xu Chong looked solemn, "I had a conversation with Mr. Ling outside the city yesterday. His words and deeds were very unusual."
"What?!"
Su Chongjiu stood up suddenly and said in an extremely anxious tone: "What happened next? How did he become?!"
"Master Su, there is no need to worry. Young Master Ling is currently in Qin Tian Prison and seems to be fine."
Xu Chong answered in a deep voice.
"In Qintian Prison...that's good, that's good."
Su Chongjiu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Some hands are shaking.
This reaction made Xu Chong's heart sink, "I came here just for this matter..."
"Since he is not dead, there is no need to apologize."
Su Chongjiu's tone was a little colder.
"Apologizing is not my style, Xu Chong."
Xu Chong shook his head, "I want to see if there is any way to solve this problem."
Solving Su Ruochen's problem will solve your own problem.
After all, it's not a problem to rely on taking drugs all the time, and drinking that bag of tea won't last long.
"..."
Su Chongjiu's expression softened slightly, but he shook his head: "That's not necessary. This matter has completely become his inner demon."
"Inner demon?"
Xu Chong frowned.
"The backlash of desire in the body-washing state is also called the inner demon."
Su Chongjiu sighed and said in a low tone: "He is equivalent to being in the Tongmai Realm and enduring the danger of the Body Washing Realm... If he wants to survive, he can only stay in the current realm and have to go to Qintian every day
I will be imprisoned for six hours and live by the rules of the blessed land for the rest of my life."
Xu Chong pondered for a long time and said solemnly: "I still want to give it a try."
It wouldn't be wrong to say that Su Ruochen must be cured, but you still have to try.
Do your best and obey destiny.
I really have no choice but to put some forbidden shackles on myself, and go to the capital after I have finished my ninth level of cleansing.
At least
Su Chongjiu looked at Xu Chong quietly, and after a while he sighed quietly: "In front of you, does he claim to be a native of Zhentian?"
"I did say that."
Xu Chong nodded.
"Not actually."
Su Chongjiu shook his head, "The Su family's ancestral home is Binzhou, a small fishing village thousands of miles away by the sea. He only came to Zhentian ten years ago."
Zhentianfu was established as a companion capital and was part of Binzhou Province before it was under direct control of the imperial court.
However, that was the old almanac hundreds of years ago...
Xu Chong's eyes flashed and he asked: "What happened ten years ago?"
"The sea is boiling."
Su Chongjiu slowly uttered two words, "A big, big sea boiling."
Xu Chong's eyes suddenly widened.
A boiling sea is a tsunami.
A complete natural disaster!
"At that time, I first took up the post of Governor of the Zhentian Mansion, and I had not yet had time to bring in the children of my family..."
Su Chongjiu closed his eyes and his voice trembled slightly, "There is no sign of the sea boiling. By the time it is discovered, it is already too late... What's more, Zhentian Mansion has jurisdiction over one Jing county and sixteen Zhili counties, which are also affected.
."
"I thought there was no hope that my wife, children, and children would survive, so I stopped thinking about it and concentrated on taking care of the disaster."
"Until three months later..."
Su Chongjiu opened his eyes and looked at Xu Chong, his eyes full of self-mockery: "He walked to Zhentian City alone."
Xu Chong nodded slowly, thoughtfully.
In terms of age, Su Ruochen was only twelve years old ten years ago.
At the age of twelve, he experienced a catastrophe, watched his relatives die, and then walked thousands of miles.
He has been a cruel person since he was a child!
However, the experience of these three months has turned him into a problem child just like his original self.
"Since then, he has developed a habit of boasting. Once someone questions him, he will yell at him, or beat him up... Whether it's beating, scolding or persuading, I have tried it all, but it has no effect."
Su Chongjiu continued, "Until a month ago, I used public weapons for personal use, arranged for him to join the government as an official, and introduced him to the martial arts. Only then did things change, but the good times did not last long..."
"You didn't expect his qualifications to be so good."
Xu Chong added what Su Chongjiu had left unfinished, "In just one month, he went from awakening to the third level of meridians, which once again aggravated his inner demons."
"Exactly."
Su Chongjiu nodded helplessly, "So, I can only ask Jian Zheng to send him to Qin Tian Prison."
"I probably understand."
Xu Chong lowered his head and pondered, and after a moment he said: "I think this matter cannot be blocked blindly."
"What's the meaning?"
Su Chongjiu was stunned.
This new deputy superintendent can find a solution so quickly?
"My lord, I will try my best to be careful... In addition, there should be a copy of my file here in the capital, so you can check it out."
After saying that, Xu Chong stood up and left.
By the time Su Chongjiu came to his senses, Xu Chong had disappeared.
"Let me check him?"
Su Chongjiu didn't know why.
This was the first time he saw someone asking someone to check him.
He immediately summoned his subordinate officials and went to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for the files.
They were all idle officials and could not be seen when looking up and looking down. The officials were not embarrassed and readily retrieved Xu Chong's files.
After Su Chongjiu finished reading it, he realized why Xu Chong asked him to check this.
Although the records of Xu Chongxuanliang are not recorded in the files of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Youan's official reputation and Xu Chong's words and deeds before he became an official are all recorded.
"It's uncomfortable for father and son to go against each other. No wonder he wants to help Ruochen... maybe there is really a way?"
Su Chongjiu shook his head and sighed, turning the file to the last page.
When he saw those four words clearly, his hands shook violently and he almost threw the file away.
…
…
One good thing about Zhentian City is that it is always sunny.
Because the clouds are below.
Whenever the sun sets, a huge fire disk approaches the sea of clouds, dyeing the world golden and red.
Su Ruochen sat alone next to the cliff, staring blankly at the sea of clouds.
"Dare I ask my little brother, are you a local?"
A calm and rough voice sounded in my ears.
"Of course."
Su Ruochen's eyes lit up instantly and she immediately turned her head.
An unfamiliar middle-aged face appeared in front of him. He was ordinary in appearance, dressed in ordinary clothes, and had a gourd hanging from his waist.
"I'm Zhang Long. I'm from another province. I want to ask my little brother for advice. I wonder if there are any rules that I should pay attention to in Zhentian City?"
The middle-aged man cupped his hands and sat down next to Su Ruochen.
"You may have asked the right person."
Su Ruochen's eyebrows were dancing with joy, "There is nothing on Zhentian City that I, Su Ruochen, don't know about."
"Oh? That's great."
Zhang Long was overjoyed.
"First of all, when you enter the city, if you don't hold an official position in the city, you must queue up and accept inspection."
Su Ruochen pointed to the city gate not far away and said with great pride: "And if you are like me and have a full eighth-level position, you can enter this city gate whenever you want and leave whenever you want."
"It turns out that he is an official of the eighth rank. How disrespectful and disrespectful."
Zhang Long handed over again.
"No gifts, no gifts."
Su Ruochen narrowed his eyes with a smile, "As for the inside of the city, there aren't many rules. Zhentian City is isolated by the sea and built on a mountain. Most of the people in the city are warm and hospitable. As long as you don't bump into people with official status, you will still be hungry even if you don't do anything.
Immortal."
"so good?"
Zhang Long was surprised.
"Of course."
Su Ruochen continued, "In fact, even if you conflict with local officials, as long as it is not a matter of deep hatred, you will usually just laugh it off."
"very nice……"
Zhang Long looked envious, "If only I had known about this place earlier, hey..."
"Why are you sighing, brother?"
Su Ruochen asked, and then immediately patted his chest: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I, Su Ruochen, can't guarantee anything else. In this three-acre area of Zhentian City, I am still a bit thin."
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness."
Zhang Long handed over his hand for the third time and immediately shook his head: "It's not that I have any difficulties, but that I remembered my past."
"oh?"
Su Ruochen frowned slightly.
"To be honest, I am from Binzhou Province."
Zhang Long looked lonely, "In the sea boil ten years ago, all the family's wealth was wiped out and we had to pay it back. A family of more than ten people, including wives, children, and children, was just gone."
Su Ruochen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but her eyes remained clear.
Zhang Long felt relieved and continued: "Do you know how I survived?"
"How did you survive?"
Su Ruochen frowned, showing obvious curiosity.
"I compete with other people for carcasses, tree barks, and weeds to eat. As long as I can eat one bite, I can live one more day."
Zhang Long's tone was low and full of despair.
Su Ruochen was silent, with some signs of confusion in his eyes.
An extremely light and imperceptible scent of tea wafted out, making this mess quickly subside.
"Later, I actually survived."
Zhang Long continued, "It's just that nothing is gone, everything has to start from scratch... Hey, you don't know how much I want to get over it when I'm being driven around as a refugee."
I have no idea?
Su Ruochen's face trembled, and she wanted to say that she knew too much.
"If you want to eat, apart from begging, you basically rely on cheating and all kinds of cheating... I have no choice but to survive."
Zhang Long chuckled, "Survival is a matter of course, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Later, slowly, I saved a little money and started a small business."
"But I was recognized... then give me a good beating, and it almost didn't kill me."
At this point, Su Ruochen's curiosity was completely aroused.
Su Ruochen couldn't help but ask: "What next?"
"Then?"
Zhang Long touched his nose and said, "Then I will secretly recover from my injuries, and when I am ready, I will continue to beg and save money."
After a pause, Zhang Long made a gesture and said with a proud smile: "Seven times, my small business was smashed a full seven times, but in the end I managed to survive."
Being hit seven times...is this something worth being proud of?
Su Ruochen's mind was a little confused and asked: "What next?"
"Then?"
Zhang Long was stunned, "What do you want to ask?"
"You were bullied so hard, and you just let it go?"
Su Ruochen looked at Zhang Long with an incomprehensible expression.
"What if?"
Zhang Long spread his hands: "I cheated to survive, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but it's not wrong for people to take it out on me because they were cheated... Could it be that I want to fight back?"
"this……"
Su Ruochen was stunned for a moment.
"But having said that, there are a few people who are still holding on to me. They always come up to me when the wine shop's business is at its best, point their fingers at me and call me a liar. It's really a bit hateful."
Zhang Long's tone was a little helpless, "I came to Zhentian this time just to see if I can find a suitable job and move my family business here."
"Now I'm calling you a liar...can you bear it?"
Su Ruochen didn't know what to say.
"Even without these people, wouldn't I encounter malicious slander from my peers?"
Zhang Long asked back, "Who in this world can convince everyone of themselves?"
"Can't you?"
Su Ruochen asked back.
"Think about it."
Zhang Long stood up and pointed at the mountains and clouds, "His Majesty is the most noble person in the world today. Even if his decrees are inappropriate, there will be people who will object to them, or even be directly rejected by the Sixth Section, let alone you and me.
Where is one of these creatures?"
"It seems...that's indeed the case..."
Su Ruochen looked at everything Yun Hai was thinking, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Let me ask you."
Zhang Long looked down at Su Ruochen and said with a smile: "The world laughs at me and underestimates me, how should I deal with it?"
"How to deal with it?"
Su Ruochen raised his head and stared blankly at Zhang Long, who was surrounded by golden and red light.
"Just let him, don't pay attention to him..."
Zhang Long put his hands on his back and looked at the huge fire disk with only half left, "If you wait a few more years, will I still see him?"
If I stay for a few more years, will I still see him?
Su Ruochen murmured and repeated.
After a moment, a powerful breath came out of his body.
The fourth level of Tongmai is completed.
Su Ruochen stood up, cupped her hands and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty Su Ruochen, I would like to thank the Deputy Supervisor for your teachings."
