Fengzhou.

He Shijing brought Shi Zong to the governor's office. The two people were in a state of embarrassment. They put on new clothes and each held an umbrella. They finally looked a little more dignified. They no longer thought they were like beggars and robbers in the mountains before.

Shi Zong looked at this tall and lavish official office and immediately said: "Aren't we in a hurry to go to Jiexia County to take office?"

"Is it possible that an official would like to pay homage to the dock?"

Shi Zong suddenly felt that being an official was quite similar to being a gangster.

He Shijing: "Before a new official takes office, he must first report to the prefectural government office and receive official seals, official uniforms and other items. After his identity is confirmed by the county government office, the county government officer will prepare a guard of honor to send the new official to take office."

"Otherwise, how can we take office just wearing this and nothing?"

"I'm afraid that when I get to the Jiexia County government office, I'll be beaten out as a liar and humiliated. I'll lose my face for nothing."

Shi Zong was quite happy with this kind of thing. He recalled all the popular and slap-in-the-face things in the world: "Isn't this just right? Let's take a look at who is that person who looks down on others and takes advantage of others' power."

"Then punish them well and let them know what it means to be a human being."

He Shijing waved his hands repeatedly: "No one is perfect, as long as you can do things well."

"We don't act according to the rules, and others act according to the rules. How can we end up blaming others for being disrespectful?"

"Hiding your identity to test others will not only make you unavailable, but you will also lose your dignity and get a reputation for being unruly. How can you manage and employ people in the future?"

"Walking around in brocade clothes at night, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, this is a bad idea."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shijing straightened his clothes and straightened his spine: "Being an official is quite different from being a gangster like you~"

That word was drawn out in a long way, and Zhou Shijing was shaking his head when he said it.

Mr. Shi scoffed in his face.

Leaving Shi Zong at the door of the Yamen, Zhou Shijing took out the spy who was wrapped in oilcloth and placed close to him, and stepped into the Yamen of the Prefecture Governor.

He didn't expect that not long after he entered, he just told the story about meeting Taoist Kongchen when he came here while he was sitting in the second hall waiting, which immediately alarmed the entire governor's office.

All the officials, big and small, came to the second hall.

Even the governor came in person and asked about He Shijing, a small county magistrate, about what happened in the main temple of Nachuan.

There are two halls and one hall are all state officials, surrounding He Shijing.

Listen to He Shijing's story about how he saw a god driving a golden chariot in the mountains, and how he met the Taoist Lord in the Chuanzhu Temple.

Among them is not only the Dao Lord, but also the appearance of the Lord of the River, the water god under the Riyou Shen Mansion. What he said about the torrent season of the boundary river is also true.

As soon as everyone finished listening.

It was even more certain that He Shijing had really met an immortal.

Nowadays, no one in the entire feudal state knows that the Yin and Yang Boundary City has completely retreated. Lord Kongchen Dao wants to establish the path of ghosts and gods in the seven states and forty counties, and compete with the master of the Yin and Yang Boundary City for the world's highway.

The winner will not only win the entire Wei Dynasty, but also the Great Zhou Dynasty and even the world, which will become the pioneering ground for the Shinto systems of both sides.

Some people even believe that this is a sign that the world is about to return to unity.

If the leader of the Wei Dynasty is the Son of Heaven, then Tianjizi, the leader of the Yin and Yang Realm City, is the Lord of Heaven.

But now that this god has withdrawn, Lord Kongchen will be their god here from now on.

How dare officials not to pay attention to this God-like figure.

After all the officials heard the story of the vicissitudes of the world, someone immediately said: "The vicissitudes of the world have led to such strange things?"

Another official mentioned an incident: "Xiaoguan has heard that someone found corpses turned into fish bones condensed among the rocks on the mountains of Dongshan. Could it be that Dongshan was once a sea?"

"

Some people marveled: "I have seen the vicissitudes of life three times. No wonder everyone in the world says that immortals live forever in the world."

There are also people who want to search in the history books to see if they can find the origin of this allusion: "You are saying that the banquet in the lower world mentioned by Lord Kongchen was at whose banquet it was. There may be records in the history books.

This matter."

Finally, Sima Fengzhou made a sound.

"The sea has changed! The sea has dried up and the stone has rotted!"

"The carefreeness and freedom of immortals, and the long-lasting vision, are all in it."

Amidst the sighs and lamentations of the people, the allusions about the vicissitudes of life spread throughout the world.

It's just that whenever people mention this allusion, they think of Lord Kongchen, which has given rise to various speculations and rumors.

The governor of Fengzhou frowned and paid more attention to the conversation between Kongchen Daojun and Sichuan Lord.

"Okay." He raised his hand to stop everyone's thoughts.

"After all the changes in the world, we don't need to talk about the things of immortals anymore."

"But the flood season in this area is approaching and it is imminent."

"If what the God of Sichuan Lord said is true, we, as Fengzhou parent officials, have to be cautious."

The governor of Fengzhou immediately ordered and shouted: "Where is Ji Qian, the water transport envoy?"

Not long after, a red-robed official came forward, bowed his waist and said, "The Water Transport Envoy Ji Qian is here!"

Ji Qian, the Fengzhou water transport envoy, was handsome, young and strong, and had a beautiful beard.

Judging from the preferences and aesthetics of the people of the Wei Dynasty, he can be said to be a handsome man.

The governor of Fengzhou asked: "The floods on the boundary river are coming. Is there any possibility that the embankments will burst and the fields will be flooded?"

Ji Qian, the water transportation envoy, suddenly changed his expression, but he was good at dancing and knew the way of being an official very well. He spoke unhurriedly and shied away all the responsibilities.

"In the past few decades, half of the water transportation matters have indeed been borne by Riyou Shenfu. There has never been a dyke breach. Our water transportation yamen is mostly responsible for water transportation, public grain, salary silver, tribute and merchant ships.

thing."

"The matters of dredging rivers and preventing floods are the responsibility of Riyou Shenfu."

"It is indeed very possible that all the tourist palaces have left today. Most of the current river embankments were built according to the old times and have not withstood the test of floods."

The governor of Fengzhou narrowed his eyes: "I remember that every year the imperial court allocates a large amount of money to protect the canal. Where did your canal transportation office spend it?"

Ji Qian, the water transport envoy, immediately said: "The water protection silver has been distributed to the river workers on both sides. They are responsible for repairing the river embankments every year. Our water transport yamen distributes the same amount every year. There has never been a shortage in the past years."

The governor of Fengzhou waved his sleeves and snorted coldly. This guy had a good plan. Even if he went to find out something went wrong on the river embankment in person, he could still blame it on the river workers.

"You pushed it cleanly. I wonder if something happened to the embankment. Can your head handle it?"

"Remember! There is a god three feet above your head!"

The sentence "Fengzhou Governor" actually means something.

After saying this, he immediately ordered officials from all counties and counties along both sides of the river to go to battle in person to check the condition of the river embankments and prepare for this year's flood season on the boundary river.

Then immediately start preparing for what to do if the boundary river breaks its banks.

After all, if there is really a problem with the river embankment, it will be difficult to find a temporary solution for a while.

Even He Shijing, the magistrate of Jiexia County who had not yet officially taken office, was immediately entrusted with important tasks, and he was repeatedly told that the first important thing to do when he took office was the Jiehe River flood.

After all, once the boundary river breaks its banks, the topography of Jiexia County will bear the brunt of the disaster and the first people to be affected will be the people under He Shijing's rule.

Ji Qian, the water transport envoy of Fengzhou, is not too afraid of the threat of the governor of Fengzhou. After all, the duties and powers of the water transport yamen are very special. The relationship behind his ability to sit in this position is inextricably linked, even if he is the governor of a state.

There's nothing you can do against him easily.

However, the words of the governor of Fengzhou about the presence of gods when he raised his head made Ji Qian instantly feel horrified.

He hurried back to Caoyun Yamen and told what happened in the governor's office. The whole Caoyun Yamen was immediately panicked.

"I said, something will definitely happen this year. If it doesn't go well, there will be a big disaster." It's not that no one discovered this matter, it's just that no one dared to say it before.

"What should we do? Why did this grandpa come here just now? This incident just happened to happen. Now our water transportation office has become the target of public criticism." Originally, even if the boundary river burst its banks, by then

It is not their fault alone. The responsibility for dereliction of duty lies with the entire Fengzhou officials.

Now the situation has come to light, the governor of Fengzhou has ordered an investigation into the matter, and then it will all be the responsibility of their water transport yamen.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a matter of greed for some money. Even if Lord Kongchen knows the world, he can't pay attention to such a trivial matter, right? If something goes wrong, the official will stop working and there will be too many people taking money.

, they all have to protect us." Some people still feel lucky, thinking that even if something goes wrong, they can still keep their wealth even if they can't keep their official status.

"The key is that you don't know what's going on with the river embankment? When the boundary river breaks its embankment, we will all be doomed. The court will hold us accountable if we are alive, and the ghosts and gods will come to take us and send us to hell if we are dead." Some people can see clearly, now

No one can save them.

"This river embankment has not been repaired for decades. Who among the successive river channel envoys and river channel managers has not taken it? They ascended it, and we bear the blame?"

"With such a big river, the amount of silver transported by water each year is only a few dollars, so what does it matter? What we get is considered small."

"It's not just a few of us who got it, so it has nothing to do with us."

"If something happens, don't think of abandoning us, otherwise I will drag them into the water together, and no one will be better."

The Caoyun Yamen was a noisy mess, everyone looked flustered and scared, and they all looked stern but internalized.

He said the harshest words and trembled with the coldest emotion.

However, no one is thinking about how to solve the problem, everyone is thinking about how to escape the blame.
