Chapter 585 Another trap
Mr. Lin, who came to read out the appointment, looked at Magistrate Xu who was about to cry, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Xu? But he is not satisfied with the appointment."
County Magistrate Xu quickly smiled and said: "No, no, it is Xu's lifelong wish to be an official in the capital. I am very excited."
I am so excited that I want to cry!
Mr. Lin smiled after hearing this and said: "I see. This is indeed a rare happy event. It is only natural for Mr. Xu to be excited."
Xu County Magistrate:
Dont say anything, let me feel sad for a while.
But the reality is cruel. Magistrate Xu has no time to feel sad. He still has to grin and hold a banquet to entertain Mr. Lin and his party.
During the banquet, Magistrate Xu was drinking heavily. Only when Mr. Lin looked at him worriedly, would he forcefully smile and say something serious. For a time, Mr. Lin thought: Xu Chongfeng had been promoted to two levels in a row, and he was crazy with joy. It was upside down. Bitterness and joy. Also, can you stop laughing? Your smile is uglier than your tears. I am here to read out the promotion documents, not to issue the edict of imprisonment!
Fortunately, there are still people like Jiang Xianwei, Lord Zheng, Master Tian, and Master Yu, otherwise Master Lin would have been disturbed and unable to eat the meal.
County Magistrate Xu was suffering so much that he finally finished the banquet and sent Master Lin to the guest house to rest. After sending Master Zheng away, he couldn't help crying anymore.
I really cried.
Master Tian asked helplessly: "Sir, what are you doing? You have been promoted, so you should be happy."

Magistrate Xu was angry: "What am I doing? Don't you know how much I weigh? Is it the material to solve the case? And what are the cases in Dali Temple? They are all big cases, and every case involves Not only human lives are involved, but also high-ranking officials and even the secrets of the royal family are involved... Can I not cry when I see that I will die in office after taking office?"
Although he wanted to achieve meritorious service and be promoted, he did not want to lose his life.
But the only one who can help you now is Zou Jiang.
In fact, this is also a pit, a pit dug by Ming Shaoqing and Zou Jiang, waiting for County Magistrate Xu to jump in.
Zou Jiang is really a kind and righteous person. He knows very well that Magistrate Xu will be promoted to Beijing because of the water bandit case. With Xu County Magistrate's IQ, he will be dead-end if he becomes an official in Beijing. He will have to find an adviser to protect him. Zou Jiang is The most suitable candidate. Therefore, when Ming Shaoqing invited him to come to Beijing, he refused, but said that he wanted to work with Magistrate Xu.
Ming Shaoqing understood immediately, so he changed his strategy and directly asked Shangguan Ge Lao to allow Xu County Magistrate to go directly to Beijing as a capital official and bring Zou Jiang into the capital.
Therefore, Zou Jiang never returned to his hometown. Instead, he lived in the county government office, waiting for Magistrate Xu to invite him. Perhaps the county magistrate was not enlightened and disliked Zou Jianglai being in the county government office.
Master Tian was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Yes, sir, Zou Jiang can help us, so hurry up and invite him. He is a person who can save your life."
County Magistrate Xu was also very moved, but he didn't want to lose his standing in front of Zou Jiang, so he wiped away his tears, sat on a chair, and warmed himself by the fire and said: "There's no rush, anyway, the old man lives in the county government office, and he will finish his work tomorrow." If the official business calls him to talk about it, it will be done. I think he, a carefree old man, will definitely be willing to follow me to Beijing to take up his post."
Jiang County Lieutenant looked at County Magistrate Xu and reminded him kindly: "Sir, this matter will have to be done sooner or later. Why not invite Zou Jiang now?"
Wait until tomorrow, you may have to kneel down to ask for permission.
As expected, the next day, Magistrate Xu and Mrs. Xu had just finished breakfast and went to the front office with a hand warmer in their arms. When they saw Mr. Tian running over in a hurry, he shouted: "Sir, Zou Jiang has returned to his hometown!"
With a plop, Magistrate Xu slipped and fell unexpectedly. The two boys beside him hurriedly helped him up. Before he could put on his official hat, Magistrate Xu asked anxiously: "What are you talking about?" ?That old man Zou Jiang went back to his hometown?"
Master Tian nodded: "Well, I heard from the handyman who served him that it was because the weather was getting colder and he felt desolate living as a lonely old man, so he was very sad and wanted to go back to his hometown to spend his old age."
Magistrate Xu was really convinced: "Is he crazy? He didn't go back before, but he is going back now. He is really a troublemaker!"
I wont give up until I torture him to death.
Master Tian said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Sir, hurry up and chase after Zou Jiang. When Zou Jiang returns to his hometown and gets caught up in the affairs of his hometown, he probably won't follow us to Beijing. Longtan Tiger's Nest Jingmen Road, White Bones and Red Coffin Liangchen Tomb, sir, if you dont want to die, you have to invite this old fox.
Master Tian is also afraid of death. He knows very well that the three masters and the staff are small roles. They cannot fight against others in the capital. Without a ruthless person to lead them, they will all be dead.
