Chapter 8 Zhengyang Strength! So That Wasn't A Dream!
County government office.
"My dear nephew, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Zhou Zezhou, the chief secretary of our county government. He is also your senior. You can get closer to me."
Wu Wenjing pulled Xu Chong to introduce him with a smile.
"I've been disrespectful of your great name for so long."
Xu Chong held his hands expressionlessly.
"Come to think of it, your father and I have worked together for some years, so I asked you to call me my nephew."
Master Zhou sighed as he spoke, "Hey... I'm too busy with official duties and I didn't even have time to express my condolences. Your nephew won't blame me, right?"
"You're welcome. The government is an important place. From now on, it's better for everyone to refer to each other by their official positions. Lord County Lord, I wonder where the Dianshi Yamen is located?"
The depression in Xu Chong's heart has not yet dissipated, and he is not interested in playing Tai Chi with these two old foxes.
If it hadn't been for his first day in office, he wouldn't have even bothered to come to the inner hall.
"Understand, understand, Xu Dianshi is concerned about official duties."
Wu Wenjing remained calm-faced and summoned a yamen servant to guide Xu Chong.
When Xu Chong left, Zhou Ze's expression instantly turned cold.
"This Xu Chong is really a stinker. He fell out of favor as soon as he took office."
"Haha, if he still looks like he did back then, can you and I still talk and laugh here with peace of mind?"
Wu Wenjing smiled nonchalantly.
"Well, that's true."
Zhou Ze thought for a while and laughed, "My lord, you have seen things thoroughly, and it is difficult for lower officials to flatter you."
"You and I should stop doing this. Don't think that I don't know. You are so angry that you may not take this useless person like me seriously."
Wu Wenjing is very meaningful.
Zhou Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but saw Wu Wenjing wave his hand.
"Don't worry, I don't mean anything against you."
Wu Wenjing sighed quietly, "Presumably your contribution is enough to redeem the follow-up skills? Are you saving all the money you've lost to prepare to buy big medicine?"
"Are you spying on me?"
Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes, and the previous humility was instantly replaced by fierceness.
"I have walked all the roads you have walked, so why do you need to monitor me?"
Wu Wenjing laughed at himself and said: "As someone who has been through this, I just want to give you a piece of advice."
"Only those with outstanding talents are qualified to receive the court's goodwill."
"How can mediocre people like you and me really be turned upside down?"
………
Dianshi Yamen is located on the west side of the inner hall and has a separate courtyard.
On one side of the main hall is the Dianshi residence, and to the south are the Chengfa house and the official residence.
It wasn't until he saw Zhao Liu outside the main hall that Xu Chong knew that this guy had also defected.
"Stay outside and report anything."
Xu Chong patted Zhao Liu on the shoulder.
Zhao Liu was so flattered that he immediately straightened his waist and looked around fiercely like a wolf, as if he would bite anyone who dared to come forward.
Xu Chong stepped into the main hall.
An imperial chair, a writing desk, and two rows of guest seats.
It’s just a simple office space.
"Huh...at least I have a golden finger."
Xu Chong sat down at the main seat and let out a long breath.
From the time he woke up until now, his mood has finally calmed down a little.
Admittedly, compared to other travelers, he was quite unlucky. When he encountered a behemoth like Daqing crossing his head, he was out of breath.
But compared to the people in this world, he is already so lucky.
At least you have a chance to live forever, right?
With this in mind, Xu Chong brought up the panel to check.
Then he jumped up from the chair.
[Name: Xu Chong]
[Zhengfa: Zhengyang Jin (not practiced)]
[Rule: Immortality (consumes 10,000 spiritual sources to activate permanently)]
【Lingyuan:0】
[Tip: The concentration of spiritual energy has reached the minimum standard, and the spiritual source is being generated]
Zhengyang Jin???
If I remember correctly, this is something from a dream, right?
Can the exercises I dreamed of be included in the panel?
Or...that's not a dream at all, but a memory?!
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across Xu Chong's mind.
In the dream, the man called the child a bug.
Chong'er, Chong'er?
Therefore, it was not a dream at all, but the memory of the original person!
The man is Mr. Xu, and the insect is the original boy!
"No wonder!"
Xu Chong murmured to himself, his thoughts a little confused, "No wonder that room feels inexplicably familiar. Now that I think about it, isn't it the old house on Baiyang Lane?"
He carefully browsed through the memories he inherited from his original body more than once to make sure that there was no scene like that in his dream.
Obviously, this is also a part that was hidden by the barrier of knowledge and vision, and was regained only after becoming an official.
"So... Mr. Xu started practicing martial arts more than ten years ago."
"It seems that the third master's martial arts qualifications are probably a little too low. Otherwise, in more than ten years, there will be no problem in being promoted to a ninth-grade chief registrar, not to mention the county magistrate."
Xu Chong thought with some disdain, and then his face suddenly stiffened, "Damn it, my body won't inherit the third master's qualifications, right?"
Youdao is like a dragon giving birth to a dragon and a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix. If his father's qualifications are so poor, how can his son be any better?
Mr. San made a mistake!
Xu Chong was heartbroken and it took a while for him to calm down.
"Don't be afraid, I can live forever. Even if my talent is like a pig, I will be able to fly after hundreds of years of practice."
"At least I have one martial arts technique for free. This is the most important thing."
"Contribution can be exchanged for exercises, and it can certainly be exchanged for other things. Maybe there is something that can change your qualifications."
"Uh...contribution?"
Xu Chong's mood that had just calmed down suddenly began to surge again, and he quickly shouted to the door: "Zhao Liu!"
"Hey, sir."
Zhao Liu hurriedly ran in: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Let me ask you, in what year did Xu Youan enter the county government? And in what year was he promoted to a canon?"
Xu Chong asked.
"This subordinate doesn't know."
Zhao Liu answered truthfully, "My family moved to the city ten years ago. At that time, the third master was already a classic."
"Is that so?"
Xu Chong pondered for a moment and said: "Go to the records library and get all the records about Xu You'an. If Master Zhou doesn't allow it, you can come back to me."
"Yes."
Zhao Liu took the order and left.
In less than a quarter of an hour, I returned with a thick stack of files.
"Is this what Chief Zhou asked you to do?"
Xu Chong was a little surprised.
"My lord, you don't know. As soon as Master Zhou heard that it was your intention, he immediately said that all the county government files are at your disposal without telling him."
Zhao Liu put down the file and said excitedly.
In his opinion, Master Zhou's move represented his fear of Xu Chong and proved that he was not with the wrong person.
"Interesting... Okay, you can go out first."
Xu Chong was thoughtful and waved Zhao Liu to retreat, while he began to look through the files.
Half an hour later, the review was completed.
But not only were the doubts in Xu Chong's heart unanswered, but there were even more.
According to records, Xu Sanye took office in the county government in the second year of Yongtai. He was first appointed as the prison official and was promoted to the official in the fifth year of Yongtai.
It is now the seventeenth year of Yongtai, and I am twenty years old. The original body in the dream is only about two to three years old, seventeen or eighteen years ago.
In other words, the scene in the dream may have happened even earlier than Yongtai’s day!
At that time, Xu Sanye didn't even have an official status, so how could he make contributions in exchange for martial arts skills?
So it is obvious that Mr. San has other channels.
A channel that even a person with a special status like Wang Hezhi doesn’t know about!
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Chong stood up immediately, left the county office in a hurry, and appeared in front of the study door of Xu Mansion not long after.
