Who asked him to cultivate immortality!

It can be seen that under Man Gu's governance, Quyi County is in good order. It only took a few minutes for the two to find their long-lost mother, which is very touching.

When Man Gu was clear about everything and returned to the back hall to rest, a voice called him.

"Brother Man."

Man Gu turned around and saw two spotless masters standing in the back hall. He was overjoyed: "Brother Lu! Brother Meng!"

Although the two had changed their appearance, their voices did not change, so Man Gu could easily identify them.

The magistrate of Man County personally entertained the two guests, serving tea and water, and serving melons and fruits.

"My two brothers have been promoted to the Tribulation Period. I have been busy with government affairs and can only write a letter to congratulate them. Let me say congratulations here."

After Man Gu sent a letter to Meng Jingzhou for help, he received a newspaper and learned that Meng Jingzhou had been promoted to the Tribulation Period, so he sent a second letter to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang and the others did not expect that they had not seen Man Gu in the past few years. Man Gu spoke in a very literary way, which was completely different from before.

"It seems that Junior Brother Man is doing a good job as the county magistrate?"

"Of course... No, I shouldn't say that. What should I say? Wait a minute."

Man Gu took out a small book from his arms and rolled up the edges. It took him a long time.

Man Gu turned to the end and read out the contents of the book carefully: "Thanks to the care of the two senior brothers, since I became the county magistrate, I have been working diligently and thinking hard about the development direction of this county..."

"Wait a minute, what are you writing?" Lu Yang couldn't help asking.

Lu Yang also saw the congratulatory words recorded in the book, exactly the same, without a single word changed.

Are you reading the lines?

"You see, my way of speaking before was not very similar to that of a Confucian cultivator. Confucian cultivators always like to quote the words of saints when they speak. In essence, they are just reciting lines. So I came up with this idea. I thought about the dialogue scene in advance, thought about what to say, and wrote it down in a small notebook."

"The chief clerk also suggested that I do this. He often wrote speeches for me."

Lu Yang and the others always felt that Man Gu had some misunderstandings about Confucian cultivators, but after thinking carefully, it seemed that what he said was quite right.

Meng Jingzhou sighed: "Just say what you want to say directly, don't recite it."

"Then it's actually not easy to be a county magistrate. There are too many rules."

"What do you mean?"

"When I first became a county magistrate, I went to the county to attend a meeting. At the end of the meeting, the county governor said that if we county magistrates have any ideas about Zhongshan County, or if I have suggestions for him as the county governor, we can speak freely. I wanted to wait for my colleagues to finish speaking before I spoke, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't speak, so I stood up and said a few points."

"The county governor was quite satisfied with me and asked me if I wanted to come now When he was the county governor, I kindly reminded him that I couldn't be promoted to county governor immediately after becoming a county magistrate, which was not in compliance with the regulations. "

"After I went back, I told the chief clerk about it, and the chief clerk wrote some precautions on my book and told me not to do it."

Man Gu showed it to Lu Yang and the others, and opened the first few pages of the small book, which were densely filled with various prohibitions, such as "Don't talk when your boss says you can speak freely", "Don't report your colleagues drinking after work", "Don't really eat when your boss asks you if you want to stay for dinner, and don't say you're not full even if you've finished eating", etc.

"Why are there so many precautions?" Lu Yang and the others were shocked. This chief clerk was also a talent who could pay attention to so many details.

"Oh, because he wrote me a precaution for every violation I made."

"..."

"Otherwise, I said that there are many rules in the officialdom, and there is no freedom in the sect."

"In fact, I'm doing well in the officialdom." Lu Yang said.

"Ah?" Man Gu was surprised. When did Senior Brother Lu Yang enter the officialdom?

"You can't tell, I am now a minister of the state."

"Minister of the state? Does our Great Xia have this position?"

"At least the Xia Emperor recognizes it."

"Brother Lu is really amazing."

If you don't say that Senior Brother Lu Yang is amazing, it's so difficult for him to be a small county magistrate, but Senior Brother Lu Yang has become a minister of the state without anyone knowing. This is the gap between people.

He really has a lot to learn.

"Don't talk about this, what's the matter with ghosts?" Meng Jingzhou asked. Now solar lamps have completely replaced candles. Every household has solar lamps. In addition, the sun seal has been completely unlocked, and the power of the sun has exploded. Can ghosts still become a big deal?

"It was one night three months ago."

"I was practicing at the time, and suddenly the patrol officer reported to me that there were several ghosts wandering on the street. They tried all kinds of methods but it was useless. The ghosts were not affected at all."

"I went over to take a look, and it was true. Several ghosts were illuminated by solar lights and stabbed by peach wood swords, but it was useless. The peach wood swords went straight through them. They seemed to have no feeling, and did not respond to our attacks, nor did they intend to attack us."

"When I went over, the ghosts had already begun to disappear."

"Later, ghosts appeared again, but my realm was fluctuating at the time. The movement was so low that it was impossible to take action, so I invited monks from the county, but it was still useless. "

"There was no other way, so I thought of asking the two brothers to take action."

"It sounds a bit strange. How many times did the ghost appear in total?"

"Three times, the time of appearance was not fixed, but it must be at night."

Meng Jingzhou touched his chin: "The time of appearance is not fixed, that's troublesome, has this happened in the nearby counties?"

Man Gu shook his head: "I asked, no."

"It seems that I can only stay here for a while. By the way, Brother Man, we must keep our arrival a secret." Lu Yang said.

If the ghosts knew that Lao Meng and himself, who punished rape and eradicated evil and acted chivalrously, were here, they might not dare to show their faces.

"Okay." Mangu nodded. The two senior brothers have always been low-key and unwilling to be in the limelight.

"Then I will arrange accommodation for the two senior brothers?"

"Is your Yamen short of people? Wherever there is a shortage, we can temporarily fill it up."

"I actually fired two detectives for taking bribes, leaving two positions vacant, but the two senior brothers are my guests who came to help me..."

Meng Jingzhou hooked his arm around Mangu's neck and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's not good to be idle all the time. I just want to find something to do."

Mangu was very moved. The two senior brothers traveled thousands of miles to catch ghosts and took the initiative to solve their own problems. This was such a noble and honorable act.

Soon Mangu found police clothes for the two of them. The two of them put on their clothes, and with proud smiles, they suddenly looked like evil detectives who bullied the weak.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mangu took the two of them to identify people in the yamen. The first person they wanted to meet was the chief clerk.

Chief Liu was shocked when he saw the county magistrate and two strange detectives.

It stands to reason that the recruitment process must be tested quickly. Why did the county magistrate find two of them so quickly?

"Sir, who are these two detectives?"

Mangu remembered Lu Yang's advice not to reveal his identity, so he couldn't say that these two people were his senior brothers when introducing them, just give a brief introduction.

"These two came in through the back door."
