Chapter 7 Asking for Immortal Needs’ Sincerity
I heard Tian Guofu, the mayor of Qingping Town, coming.
Zhang Qingyun is obviously a little surprised. Is it possible that after he has been in Qingshan County for so long, someone is finally willing to join him?
As soon as he thought about this, Zhang Qingyun said: "Please come in, Mayor Tian."
Tian Guofu came in quickly and bowed to Zhang Qingyun in a proper manner: "Young citizen Tian Guofu has seen the county magistrate. .”
"Mayor Tian, please get up quickly. I wonder if Mayor Tian has anything to report to the county?" Zhang Qingyun said with a smile.
Tian Guofu said quickly: "Does the county master know that in Qingping Mountain, there is an evil tiger that has become a spirit and caused trouble and harmed people's lives?"
Zhang Qingyun nodded: "This matter is not the case in this county. I know, it is said that the previous two county magistrates invited many monks, but they failed to make any achievements, so that the tiger demon is still doing evil in the mountains."
As he said this, Zhang Qingyun frowned, this Tian Guofu. Could it be that he wanted him to find the monks to get rid of the tiger monster in the mountain?
If things were really that simple, how could the tiger demon have been rampant in the mountains for so many years?
Tian Guofu seemed to see what Zhang Qingyun was thinking, and said quickly: "The county magistrate doesn't know something. A few days ago, a Taoist priest came to Qingping Town. He was highly skilled and has already eliminated the tiger monster!"
"Huh?!"
Zhang Qingyun was shocked.
He really didn't expect that the tiger monster that had been ravaging Qingping Mountain for so many years, eating countless people and killing countless monks, would be eliminated by a Taoist priest who suddenly appeared!
But the next moment, Zhang Qingyun had an idea: Since the Taoist priest is so powerful, why not invite him to help him?
He is a branch of the family, and he is very lucky to be able to come to Qingshan County to serve as the county magistrate.
This time I came to Qingshan County alone with my daughter to take up a post. I had no available manpower, otherwise I would not be easily manipulated by the gentry here.
Once he can get help from monks, the situation will definitely be different!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingyun immediately said: "That Taoist Priest can get rid of the tiger demon, and also eliminates a big problem for our Qingshan County!"
"Mayor Tian, you can take it back later. I will reward the Taoist priest with a thousand taels of silver. By the way, I would like to see the Taoist priest who can kill the tiger demon."
This was what Tian Guofu was waiting for, and he quickly said: "I obey the order of the county magistrate."
Soon, Tian Guofu hurried back to Qingping Town with a thousand taels of silver.
Then he quickly organized people to wrap the silver and some fruits in red silk and send them to Qingping Mountain with gongs and drums.
Such a lively movement naturally alarmed Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng had a quiet temperament. Seeing a large group of people coming up beating gongs and drums, he couldn't help but frown.
Soon, Tian Guofu led a large group of people to the Taoist temple.
I saw Tian Guofu with a smiling face: "Director Jiang, what a happy event!"
"Where does the joy come from?" Jiang Sheng's expression remained indifferent.
Tian Guofu said with a red face: "Director Jiang, I have informed the County Lord about your help in removing the tiger demon from our Qingping Town."
"The County Lord heard from Qingshan County I am very happy to have a Taoist priest like you here.”
"No, the county magistrate ordered us to send you a thousand taels of silver as a reward."
As he said that, Tian Guofu was quite excited: "The county magistrate also wants to ask the Taoist priest to go to the county government office and say I want to see you in person!”
“Ha!”
There was no smile in Jiang Sheng’s eyes.
Looking at Jiang Sheng's expression, Tian Guofu's heart suddenly thumped. He felt that he had done this wrong.
And those young men who were playing gongs and drums felt a chill for no reason, and all of them couldn't help but stop their piercing joy.
Jiang Sheng's eyes were indifferently swept over the people present, making each of them tremble.
“A thousand taels of silver?”
“As a reward?”
“What do you think of this poor Taoist?” Jiang Sheng’s attitude was undoubtedly frightening. When Tian Guofu and these people arrived.
Tian Guofu said quickly: "Director Jiang, we really have good intentions!"
"And the county magistrate also took the initiative to bring up this matter, and I want to give you a thousand taels of silver, and also give you a thousand taels of silver." I would like to invite you to visit the county seat."
Jiang Sheng looked at Tian Guofu with a half-smile but not a smile. His eyes made Tian Guofu feel frightened and he couldn't help but lower his head.
As Jiang Sheng glanced over, the wealthy merchants and gentry of Qingping Town present all lowered their heads like quails and did not dare to raise their heads.
The old scholar who had shown off his time in a cool manner a few days ago was even more frightened and trembling, and almost collapsed on the ground.
“I have already told you that I don’t care about your thank you gifts, so don’t bother with it anymore!”
“It’s what I said, you can’t listen to me. Do you understand, or do you think the poor man is soft-hearted and easy to bully?"
As he spoke, Jiang Sheng waved his sleeves, and a strong wind swept over, sending everyone present including the silver fruits, gongs, drums, and red flowers flying away.
Tian Guofu only felt a gust of wind blowing him to pieces. When his eyes returned to clarity, he had been blown to the foot of the mountain!
The wealthy gentry and young men in Qingping Town looked at me and I looked at you. They were all covered in cold sweat, and no one dared to say anything.
But Tian Guofu had a bitter look on his face, looked at the mountainside in embarrassment and shouted: "Taoist Master, it is really the county minister who asked me to invite you."
Jiang Sheng’s cold voice came from the mountain: “The County Lord?”
“As a reward for a mere thousand taels of silver, you still want Pindao to go to the county town to meet him?”
“What a joke. ! ”
"If the magistrate of your county really wants to see Pindao, then let him come to Qingping Mountain!"
"You should disperse immediately and come again to disturb Pindao Qingxiu. Don't blame Pindao for being rude!"
Hearing what Jiang Sheng said, everyone quickly ran back to Qingping Town.
At this time, everyone was disgraced and in a miserable state.
The rich gentry looked at Tian Guofu in embarrassment, and Tian Guofu could only sigh: "Well, then I will go back and talk to the county magistrate again."
When Tian Guofu hurried back to Qingshan County and told the county leader Zhang Qingyun the reason for the incident, Zhang Qingyun's expression immediately changed.
“I, the noble person of the county, sent someone to invite him to be a mountain Taoist priest, but he still can’t be invited? Do I have to invite the county myself?!”
“He is just a mountain Taoist priest. , Even more arrogant than these gentry in the county!"
Tian Guofu stood aside and didn't dare to speak. Zhang Qingyun was so angry that he waved his hand to get out, and then he went back to the backyard to rest.
Back at the backyard of the county government office, Zhang Qingyun was so angry that he smashed a tea cup, scaring the servants in the backyard to tremble, fearing that the sulky county magistrate would spill fire on them. On human head.
Zhang Qingyun couldn't understand.
Why can't he, as the county magistrate of Qingshan County, invite a Taoist priest to Qi State?
Is it possible that he is now a well-known puppet, a clay sculpture that can only be seen in the county government?
What’s the point of being in front of such a county magistrate?
"Why is my father so angry? Is there anything I can tell my daughter about?"
A clear and moving voice like an oriole sounded in Zhang Qingyun's ears. Zhang Qingyun turned around and saw that it was his smart and pretty daughter Zhang Qing.
Seeing that the apple of his eye has arrived, Zhang Qingyun's face softened slightly: "Isn't Qing'er going to listen to a book? Why did she come to see her father when she had time?"
