Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture is not small, but in fact there are not many people who can use it.
The two night watchmen stationed in Heyang Mansion, Song Chengxun and Atulu, are the most powerful among the night watchmen in Heyang Mansion.
Because Cui Zijie is enough to make all kinds of decisions, so all he needs is powerful thugs.
But going to the Changle Gang to express condolences and involving some disputes over interests with the local sects, it was not very appropriate to send these two.
Because Song Chengxun practiced the method of refining ghosts, he was not good at words and had a sinister and extreme personality. If he went there, he might start a fight if he said something inappropriate.
Atulu is a barbarian, and speaking the Central Plains dialect is difficult, so it is definitely not possible, so only Meng Hantang is the most suitable.
But no one expected that Meng Hantang would actually push Gu Cheng out.
Although Gu Cheng has completed several tasks recently and performed very eye-catchingly, no matter how eye-catching he is, he is just a Xuanjia Guard. It is almost meaningless to go to the Changle Gang to express condolences on behalf of Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture.
Even Gu Cheng himself looked confused.
Previously, he was asked to temporarily take charge of Luo County and become the acting night patrol, but in fact it was only in name.
But now that Meng Hantang, who represents the entire Heyang Mansion, is entrusted to him, this is more than just a name.
Cui Zijie looked at Meng Handang with doubtful eyes, and Meng Handang coughed and said, "Sir, I am going to the capital.
In two months, someone will be selected from the Jingcheng Yasushi Headquarters. I am 100% sure that I will get into the Jingcheng Jingyesi Headquarters.
I have been running the business here in Luo County for several years and it has become stable. Gu Cheng has the greatest potential and ability and has accumulated some reputation at this time. After I leave, I recommend him to take over my position."
Cui Zijie smiled bitterly and said: "When did you make this decision? Do you know that you are already a night watchman in Heyang Mansion. After some time, I even want to declare to the police to make you the deputy commander.
.
Why do you have to follow the example of that guy Tie Tianying and go to the Jingyesi Division in the capital to be the lowest level Xuanjia Guard?"
Meng Hantang said in a deep voice: "While I am recovering from my injuries.
Only after fighting against the traitors of the Naluo Sect did I realize just how far behind I am in terms of martial arts.
I will never forget your kindness, but I want to advance further in martial arts, and those complicated and trivial things are just a drag.
After entering Jingyesi in the capital, although I can only serve as the lowest-level Xuanjia guard, I can obtain more skills, pills, etc. than those in Heyang Palace."
Cui Zijie shook his head gently and said: "Forget it, since you have decided, I won't stay any longer, but Jingyesi in the capital is not that easy to mess with.
There are many princes and nobles in the capital, and their relationships are complicated. After you go to the capital, you can ask Tie Tianying for advice on these things."
After saying that, Cui Zijie also looked at Gu Cheng.
Strictly speaking, Gu Cheng is also one of the princes and nobles in the capital. Although he is the kind of noble who has fallen into decline, his title is still there.
When Tie Tianying recommended Gu Cheng to Heyang Mansion, Cui Zijie just wanted to sell Tie Tianying a favor, but he didn't expect that Gu Cheng would improve so quickly.
He knew Meng Hantang's character well, whether he was rigid or inflexible.
But Meng Hantang is a fair man, this is something that the entire Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture knows.
Since he has chosen Gu Cheng as the successor of Luo County Jingyesi, it proves that the other party is indeed unique.
Otherwise, no matter how close you are to Meng Hantang, he will never favor you in official matters.
Cui Zijie said to Gu Cheng: "You are Meng Hantang's direct subordinate. Since he thinks highly of you, as long as you don't make mistakes during this period, you will become a regular night watchman in the future.
I just hope you don’t let everyone down.”
Gu Cheng walked out quickly, raised his hands to Meng Hantang and Cui Zijie and said, "I would like to thank you for your respect, I will live up to your expectations!"
Gu Cheng is ambitious.
When he was at the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, all Gu Cheng could think about was how to survive. Only after he died once did he realize the preciousness of life, not to mention that in Gu Cheng's memory, he died 'twice'.
But then during my time in Jingyesi, I saw the real Daqian, the real world of Jianghu. Although it was dangerous and mysterious, it was also extremely exciting.
Martial arts and Qi refining, when you hold these powers in your hands, almost everyone wants to hold more power.
Gu Cheng is a layman. He wants to grasp more power, stand higher and see further.
And Jingyesi is this springboard. The opportunity is in front of him, how can he give up?
Living is naturally the first priority, but living better and living more freely is what Gu Cheng wants to do now.
Meng Hantang said calmly: "You're welcome, you earned these by yourself.
Your overall combat power is already comparable to that of the late eighth-grade, and even those from the lower-level martial arts circles who are comparable to those of the seventh-grade are no match for you.
In terms of personal connections, Zhao Jingming and Wang Qi are good friends with you. Xiao Yi is very popular in Jingyesi, Luo County. As your partner, he can also make other people feel close to you.
Others may be criticized if they become night watchmen before reaching the seventh level of bone forging, but you will not.
What you lack now is just your reputation. Before I go to the capital, you have earned enough reputation in the state capital. It will be a matter of course for you to take over as the night watchman.
Otherwise, if you fail to live up to your expectations, I would rather disband the Luo County Night Watch Envoy stronghold and let the state government take care of it than hand it over to an incompetent person."
Cui Zijie shook his head at the side. Meng Hantang's temper was indeed not suitable for being a leader.
Thank you, subordinate. You should take the opportunity to calm people's hearts. What nonsense are you talking about?
"Then I have to thank you, sir."
Gu Cheng thanked him again, this time sincerely.
Meng Hantang chose to go to the capital for his own martial arts path. He could have just left and ignored everything.
But in the end, he chose to recommend Gu Cheng to the position, but it was just out of love.
After finalizing the matter, Song Chengxun and Atulu left, while Cui Zijie told Gu Cheng about the Changle Gang.
Although the Changle Gang is called a gang, it actually grows medicinal materials, which are extremely rare elixirs.
This elixir is the basic material for refining various elixirs and is rarely seen on the market. Once the elixir produced by the Changle Gang matures, it will be divided up by Jingyesi and the surrounding sects.
Cui Zijie sighed: "Ji Haiya, the leader of the Changle Gang, is a character. That old fox's starting point is so low that you can't imagine. He is just an ordinary farmer. He doesn't even know the words. When he was young, he was captured by bandits and sold as a slave to some cults in the south. Planting elixirs, of course, are also used as medicine slaves to try new medicines.
After struggling like this for several years, not only did he not die, but he escaped back, established the Changle Gang in his hometown in Heyang Prefecture, and began to grow those elixirs that were difficult to feed.
The strength of the Changle Gang is not strong, but the old guy is very slick. He can easily move among Jingyesi and the surrounding factions. He does not offend anyone and ensures that no one suffers. He relies on his own strength to balance the surrounding people.
power.
But now that he is dead, the heir to the Changle Gang may not have the same means as him, so the situation may have changed."
Gu Cheng nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Then what is the attitude of Jingyesi this time? Is it tough or?"
Cui Zijie said with a faint smile: "If the problem can be solved with a tough attitude, I will go there myself. I will kill anyone who has an objection.
The key is that the higher-ups are now bent on stability, and Yasushi's elite are all in chaotic places like the capital and the south. You can't be tough even if you want to be tough.
Especially the gentleman above me, he hates it when the people below him cause trouble for him.
As long as those Jianghu sects don't mess around, if we take the initiative to cause any trouble, we will be punished by the superiors.
I have only one attitude. In the past, I, Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture, accounted for 30% of the elixirs produced by the Changle Gang, and now it is also 30%. You can have more, but you cannot less.
Likewise, you can't make things too big, otherwise you'll be in more trouble.
I know this is a bit difficult, just think of it as a test before you become a night watchman.
To become a night watchman before you reach the seventh level, you must have some merits, right?"
"Yes, sir."
Gu Cheng nodded in agreement, then he hesitated and said, "By doing this, will the gentleman above me, Jingyesi, lose my prestige? Isn't it too aggrieved that the people below are so restrained in doing things?"
Cui Zijie snorted softly and said: "Aggrieved? Do you know that among the fifty-one counties in Daqian, Donglin County can be said to have the least problems.
It’s not that there are no problems, but if there are any problems, they are suppressed by the person above.
Every year in the evaluation of the governors at the Jingyesi headquarters, the one above is ranked at the top and has received many rewards.
Therefore, under that person’s command, you must endure the grievances.”
Gu Cheng nodded thoughtfully.
Although Cui Zijie is chubby and has a very amiable appearance, his style of doing things is also very decisive and he is not the kind of indecisive person.
He must have felt aggrieved under the command of the governor.
"By the way, don't talk nonsense about these things when you go out."
After Meng Handang goes to the capital, Gu Cheng will become the night watchman of Luo County, and he can be regarded as Cui Zijie's confidant, so he will talk to Gu Cheng about these somewhat sensitive topics.
"Yes, sir."
Since the topic was sensitive, Gu Cheng didn't ask any more questions, but turned around to prepare for the Changle Gang's trip.
