The Taoist priest who came to announce the task was leisurely drinking tea and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Is there a problem? Can't you do it?"

Chen Youniao asked: "I just don't quite understand. Hu Ning is said to be a son of a powerful person from the capital. Why are you keeping an eye on him?"

The task he received was to monitor Hu Ning. It was best to establish a good relationship with him and get in close contact with him.

This time, Chen Youniao had a problem. You must know that this beautiful young man had personally said that he "doesn't like women." A while ago, the other party was so enthusiastic that Chen Youniao simply stayed at home and studied behind closed doors.

I hid and left. Now, it’s great that I have to take the initiative and get close to each other. Isn’t it like sending a sheep into the tiger’s mouth?

The Taoist said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you understand the way of today's world?"

Chen Youniao replied: "The world is peaceful and prosperous."

The Taoist said: "Of course, today's wise and powerful people are rare wise kings who implement benevolent policies and benefit the people. But because of this, they have harmed the interests of many powerful families and caused conflicts. Do you understand this?"

Chen Youniao nodded. One gains and one loses. There are gains and losses. The positions of the classes are different. It is difficult to have the best of both worlds. This is a contradiction at the root of existence and it is difficult to reconcile.

The Taoist continued: "On the surface, the world is still calm, but secretly, there are already turbulent undercurrents, and many forces are ready to move to commit crimes and destroy things."

Hearing this, Chen Youniao's heart suddenly shuddered as he thought of the two evil incidents. Although it didn't cause much trouble, according to Song Tianfu, nothing had happened in the past for many years.

So, is it a coincidence or some sign?

The Taoist said slowly: "We, the Taoist court, are responsible for investigating the world's destiny and killing all strange and harmful things. Many things are not easy to alarm the people to avoid causing panic, so we have to do it in private to nip it in the bud."

Chen Youniao asked: "You mean, there is something wrong with Hu Ning?"

"Whether there is any problem, we have to investigate first. All in all, there are doubts about his identity. But I have something to say first, he is a nobleman from the capital. You should investigate, don't be confused and offend others."

"ah."

When Chen Youniao heard this, he hurriedly said: "We need to investigate, but we can't offend him, so what should we do?"

The Taoist spread his hands: "You have to weigh this yourself and decide what to do. Haha, brother, if it was a simple review, we would have taken the person back to the Governor's Mansion directly. Why do it secretly? This is not an easy matter."

After a pause, he added: "If you do well in this matter, you will receive a hundred talisman coins, which is an absolutely high reward. If the higher-ups hadn't taken care of the new Taoist priests and assigned you to do it, others would be jealous.

.”

Chen Youniao's eyes couldn't help but bulge as he listened, and for a while it was hard to figure out whether the other party's words were true or false.

Is it to take care of you? Or is it to leave difficult tasks to newcomers?

Judging from the yamen's work routine, it is obvious that the latter is more likely.

Although the Daoting Governor's Office is a Taoist institution, it is set up in a secular world, and the procedures and style of doing things have long been the same as those of government yamen.

Where can those fried dough sticks easily come to pick up the hot taro?

However, the reward of one hundred talismans is indeed a lot. After all, this task is not a dangerous event.

Chen Youniao had inquired before. Five thousand dollars could be exchanged for a training method for refining qi and transforming into a god.

Although one hundred dollars seems like a drop in the bucket compared to five thousand dollars, it is just the beginning. If you add up, you can complete more tasks in a year. If everything goes well, you will have the opportunity to earn enough in a few years.

It has to be said that Taoting came up with this talisman money system, which is really a genius idea and design. With this as the core, it gathered manpower and material resources, and let the cultivators in the system work hard for it and control it tightly.

Suddenly thinking of a key point, Chen Youniao hurriedly asked: "Senior, how long will this task take, and to what extent must the investigation be completed?"

The Taoist touched his beard and said, "Well, we will keep checking until the other party leaves Haidai County."

Chen Youniao was startled: "Does this mean that as long as Hu Ning remains in the county, I will have to keep giving in and dealing with him?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Chen Youniao asked again: "How long will he be here?"

The Taoist chuckled: "I am a nobleman from the capital. I am just here for a study tour. Generally speaking, I will not stay long. I may leave in a month or two."

Chen Youniao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. One or two months was not a long time, so it was acceptable.

The Taoist glanced at him: "Anyway, just make friends with him. The so-called investigation is just one of the meanings mentioned above. It is just suspicion. There will be no big problems. Otherwise, this investigation method will not be used. I can

I told you, his status is not trivial, and if you handle it well, it will be good for you."

Chen Youniao was a little confused by what he said. He thought about it carefully. Isn't this the same routine in official circles? When nothing happens, they just make fun of each other. But when something really happens, he immediately turns his back on the person and doesn't really get into it. It's very difficult.

It's hard to understand what's going on inside.

No matter what, just do your part.

After the Taoist finished speaking, he stood up and left his seat: "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. You can just start doing it tomorrow."

Chen Youniao sent him out and then returned to the house. He sat on the chair and was still thinking about how to handle this matter.

There are not many requirements for the Taoist to explain the situation. In one sentence, he made friends with Hu Ning, so as to conduct a certain degree of observation and surveillance. Hu Ning has a cold and arrogant temperament and is difficult to get along with, but he seems to appreciate Chen Youniao's poems. This will be a good choice.

entry point.

The problem is that Chen Youniao is not willing to sacrifice his appearance for this...

He also thought that since Hu Hu Ning came from the capital and was a son of a powerful person, would he be involved in some power struggles in the palace? He came to Haidai County for a study tour in name. Who knows what happened?

The water is deep, so you have to be careful.

Chen Youniao fell into deep thought.

But he said that the man left on horseback, quickly returned to the Governor's Mansion, got off his horse, walked quickly inside, and returned to his office.

There was someone inside, an old servant with a wrinkled face sitting there.

But when facing him, the Taoist looked respectful and took the initiative to say: "Replying to the boss, everything has been settled according to your instructions."

The old servant said: "That's good, you didn't spill the beans."

The Taoist said quickly: "I will never say another word."

The old servant stood up: "Very good, the reward for you will come soon."

The Taoist was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, sir."

The task assigned to Chen Youniao not only complied with the procedures, but also obtained additional rewards. It was a great thing that killed two birds with one stone. In fact, he himself didn't even know why. Could it be that the extremely handsome man

Does the young master really have a crush on Chen Youniao?

Thinking of this, the Taoist couldn't help but shudder all over, and quickly suppressed this dangerous thought: the other party has a noble and mysterious identity, holding a gold and jade token, and cannot be offended. No matter what, just obey the orders and do the work. Stay here
