Seeing that the master was shaky, Master Xu quickly helped him sit up.

Mr. Tang seemed to hear the sound of something breaking, and he didn't come back to his senses until he drank the hot tea Mr. Xu bought.

"I made you laugh. It turns out that all your work was in vain. Please, for my sake, don't spread the word about what happened today."

"Don't worry, sir, this is the rule in the industry, we all understand it."

Mr. Tang was about to raise his hand to let Master see off the guest.

Master Xu hurriedly stepped forward: "I would like to trouble you all to see if there are any jade deposits underground in this mountain?"

Magistrate Tang suddenly came to his senses and was overjoyed: "Yes! There is also an underground place!" How could he have forgotten this! There must be a mine underground!

The old man who took the lead: "Master is very attentive. I was waiting for this visit, but fortunately Master reminded me that I have a comprehensive tool belt. Early tomorrow morning, I and a few others can start underground exploration."

With a sneer, Magistrate Tang twitched one corner of his mouth and glanced at the master beside him without leaving any trace.

Master Xu stood beside the master and did not notice the master's gaze on him. He continued to ask about exploration-related matters: "It's easy to talk about. I wonder how long it will take to explore the underground?"

"Three days are enough."

After three days, we will know whether there is a mine in this flat-top mountain!

Many "experts" are to be sent away.

In this huge warehouse, only Magistrate Tang and Master were left.

"Master, don't be impatient and wait patiently. Although the surface of the earth is just like stone, there is hope underground. Whether there is really a treasure in this mountain, we will know in three days!"

"Master, you are really capable! Master Xu is so meticulous about selling mountains, identifying treasures, and starting the detection tomorrow, which really surprises me. Do you need me to abdicate in favor of someone else?"

Master Xu yelled inwardly: "No!"

"Master, Master, I am just your master, assisting you. It is my duty to think about what the master thinks and do what the master expects. Everything that I see and do must be given some advice by the master, otherwise I will not give up." I don’t have the guts to go against the master’s will. Don’t worry, master, as long as you say something eastward, I will never go west!”

Magistrate Tang: "Oh? Is that really the case?"

"It's true! The villain's loyalty to the master can be learned from heaven and earth!"

"Oh? Treasure hunting in the mountains is my suggestion?"

"Of course it is."

"Looking for a professional expert to identify gemstones, but what's my idea?"

"Of course."

"Then why didn't Master mention it just now?"

Master Xu understood.

"There will be a small ceremony before the expedition begins tomorrow. All the experts and people on the mountain will be present at the scene. I would like to explain the situation during the ceremony, and also ask the master to speak tomorrow and give some advice to those present."

Magistrate Tang, it turns out he wanted to wait to speak when there were the most people.

If so, that's fine.

Magistrate Tang: "Hahaha, don't be afraid. Why are you so nervous? Come on, come on, get up and answer me."

"Young ones don't dare."

"Master, you have been with me for many years, do you know my temper?"

"I don't dare to speculate on the master."

"Yeah. Just don't dare. You need to be more cautious in your actions in the future. Be careful when you should be careful, but don't show off when you shouldn't be in the spotlight. As if the county government can't survive without you!"

"Young man, I understand. I understand. I will never do it again in the future." He is stealing the limelight from the master!

If the master is not praised by those "experts", how can he be so virtuous and capable!

Magistrate Tang put away the seriousness on his face and said, "Master, if I remember correctly, you are very old. Especially in the recent period, Master has been very hard. So, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" ? Talk to me. See if I can help you."

The master wants to kill the donkey!

The implicit meaning of this statement is that he hopes that he will propose to "retire from old age and return to his fields"!

If Mr. Xu really brought it up, Magistrate Tang would definitely satisfy his request to resign, which would not only drive him away, but also demonstrate his benevolence.

But......

Master Xu, he can't leave yet.

He still wants to wait, maybe...

Master Xu still had his head half lowered, his eyes focused on Magistrate Tang's calf, pretending that he did not understand what he meant: "Thank you for your kindness, Master! I know that a villain will be lonely all his life! No children, no daughters, no wives. Concubine! What else can I wish for? I wish to die in this Tang County government office. As long as I am still alive, I will do my best to be my right-hand man and take care of my worries! As a reward, I will give you a house to live in and rice to eat, which is enough."

Master Xu said it sadly.

He is careless and lonely, and what threat can he pose at his age?

Magistrate Tang's heart felt as if something had hit him, and he let go of the trembling breath in his chest: "Okay. You go out first. Go and settle down all the "experts", and don't treat them badly."

"It's a waste for me, thank you sir!"

Master Xu walked backwards and left the warehouse.

When there was only one person left in the room, Magistrate Tang looked around at the mountains of stones of various colors in front of him and sighed deeply.

He has been an official in Tang County for many years and is no longer the high-spirited young man.

He doesn't want to move up? Think about it, you must think about it.

Therefore, he worked conscientiously throughout his life and managed Tang County well.

Under the leadership of the sages of the past dynasties, Tang County's folk customs are simple and honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and work diligently.

As an official here, I have a leisurely life, but my life is smooth and I have no outstanding political achievements.

After so many years, he has reached this age. How much further can he go?

Originally, selling this mountain was purely waste utilization.

It has been on display for many years, and selling it for money to collect taxes is considered a noteworthy event in my career.

But, the moment he saw Xiao Chacha!

His heart was moved, and he really wanted to become as rich as Xiao Chacha.

Since I can’t get promoted, it’s better to get rich!

So the mountain that I originally planned to sell is no longer for sale!

He wants to hunt for treasure, he wants to get rich!

But just when he thought he had a chance to win, these old "experts" gave him a blow today.

Give him a hard sap!

Magistrate Tang sitting here felt very depressed.

"Hey, don't you think I'm destined to make a fortune?"

"How should I explain this situation to the people under my command?"

I lost my temper and suddenly felt a little panicked.

But in such a situation, Master Xu, who is nearly fifty years old, is actually able to remain calm and calm in the face of danger!

How could this not make him feel grudge! How can such a person be allowed in the government office!

"Master Xu, Master Xu, whether you understood my beating today or not. Let's see how the detection goes in three days. If there is really nothing, don't blame me. Everyone's work was in vain. Someone has to stand up and give an explanation."

Magistrate Tang opened the curtain and walked out.

"Come here! Guard this place!"

Even though it’s not valuable, you still have to act like it’s valuable!

Never let the people under your command know!

Otherwise there will definitely be big trouble!

Zhuo Youcai, who was on the roof, quietly jumped down from the eaves on the other side and hid in the woods in a few short steps.
