Chapter 75: A visitor from the city, a guest in the mountains "in this way……" Tao Tie was stunned for only a moment, then quickly recovered and said with a sincere smile, "I must thank Instructor Huang a lot when I return." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and almost snatched the official document and the jade slip from Ke Youqiu's hands. After snatching it, put it into the storage bag immediately and keep it safe. Then he casually bowed and said perfunctorily: "I think City God Ke must be very busy with his work, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye." After saying this, Tao Tie turned and left. He used the usual combination of "Control the Wind" + "Move Invisibly" + "Land Without a Trace" and turned into a wisp of gentle breeze, disappearing in the blink of an eye. He didn't even give Ke Chenghuang a chance to stay. Damn it, you took the money and things that should have been mine and gave them to me, and you still want to do me a favor? Go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams! At the entrance of City God Temple.
Ke Youqiu was quite stunned. He originally wanted to exchange a few polite words with Tao Tie, who disappeared in the blink of an eye, and invite him to the City God's underworld to establish a good relationship with him. I didn't expect this to happen. "Did I say something wrong just now?" Ke Youqiu was deeply confused and didn't quite understand. Could it be that I accidentally hit a sore spot? For example, why is it that after nearly three months of receiving the ordination, not only has he not been able to summon a divine general, but he can’t even afford to support a single soldier? Tao Tiecai had no idea how Ke Youqiu was secretly criticizing him, and he returned to the Immortal Gods Office with a rage. The morning meeting is over. The three Caos and three classes each returned to their respective positions. Unlike the three Caos who worked as usual at the usual rhythm, the three shifts of inspectors did not return to their respective duty rooms, but gathered in the lobby of the inspectors' office building. Still neatly arranged in three rows. The first class, including the new class leader Mo Yuhan, had a total of 35 people; In the second row, Class B, the position at the head of the class was vacant, with a total of thirty-six people; The third row, Class C, has a total of thirty-seven people, including the new class leader, Taoist Qingyun. Seeing this scene, Tao Tie was quite glad that he did not stay in the City God Temple for too long. "What are you doing?" After entering the hall, Tao Tie immediately acted like a ninth-rank inspector and shouted in a deep voice, "Gather all of you here, who's going to do the work?" Mo Yuhan, who had already changed into the uniform of a ninth-rank inspector, turned his head and glanced at Taoist Qingyun who was unwilling to leave the line. Helplessly he took a step forward and replied loudly: "Reporting to the Inspector General, Deputy Chief Wu ordered us to line up here and wait for you to come back and reassign us tasks."
"Oh?" Hearing this answer, Tao Tie exclaimed, and then said, "There is nothing to redistribute, everything remains the same. Let's go." "Yes!" The three patrol squads responded in unison. Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun did not just give a perfunctory response, but immediately took Class A and Class C out of the hall respectively. The thirty-six regular, temporary and non-staff inspectors of Class B stayed voluntarily. No one will forget that Tao Tie was not only the capital inspector, but also the head of Class B inspectors. After walking a few steps, Tao Tie came to the front of all the people in Class B, and asked, "You all know me, right?" After asking, he didn't give me a chance to answer. He walked back from the beginning, saying as he walked: "It doesn't matter if we didn't know each other before. From today on, we will get to know each other slowly." Walking to the first person in the Class B queue, Tao Tie looked at him and said, "My last name is Tao Tie. I was born as a dock porter. By chance, I was able to practice Taoism. I was a student at the Mission Academy first. Now I have reached the eighth level of cultivation. I am not very impressive." After saying this, Tao Tie had already made eye contact with the three official inspectors of Class B. After a pause, he continued to walk down, continued to look at each other, and continued: "Among you, there are many people who are like me, all of whom have reached the upper eighth level of cultivation. These are important, but not important. The only important thing is that I hope you understand one thing..." Tao Tie raised his right index finger and walked to the last official inspector. His eyes suddenly became calm yet fierce, quite contradictory, yet chilling. His voice gradually lowered, and his tone was grim: "I come from the lower class, and I stick to my principles. You can be dissatisfied with me, look down on me, and be unhappy with me, but don't let me be dissatisfied with you because you are unhappy." Tao Tie took a few steps to the side, with a trace of evil and murderous aura that had not dissipated since last night surfacing on his body: "Whoever makes me unhappy, forget about being happy." After saying that, Tao Tie raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were calm and peaceful, his whole body was filled with a friendly temperament, and he laughed heartily: "Why are you standing here? Aren't you tired? Take a rest and then go to work." The change before and after is so great that it seems like two different people. Tao Tie didn't care at all what the thirty-six regular, temporary and non-staff inspectors of Class B thought of his behavior, and walked into the duty room which was originally Mo Yuhan's and now his. The temporary clerk of the Ministry of Revenue had already cleaned it urgently. The inside and outside of the room looked brand new, and all of Tao Tie's supplies from the A squad's duty room were brought over. Even the armchair was replaced with great care. On the table, there was a set of official uniform of a ninth-rank inspector and a disposable storage talisman bag. The salary and benefits that the ninth-rank inspector can receive this month are all packed into this disposable storage talisman bag. Tao Tie sat on the armchair with a familiar touch, picked up the storage bag and glanced at it. Without looking at it carefully, he just said to himself, "What a generous gift", and transferred all the items in it into the azure storage bag. Just like you have to use your job title when you are at work, you have to do your job duties when you are at work. Even though he was itching to take a look at the Marshal Zhao's Mixing Refining Technique given to him by City God Ke, as well as the information about the 150 soldiers he could receive with the official document, Tao Tie still resisted the urge. Then he got busy with official business.
The area that the Class B patrol officer is responsible for is the Yudai River. Mo Yuhan, the former deputy squad leader and the eldest daughter of the Shahe Gang, had laid a solid foundation for Tao Tie's work even though she had only been in the position for seven days. With the active cooperation of the Shahe Gang, the patrol officers of Class B have gained a very in-depth understanding of the situation in Yudai River. These understandings are not illusory, but have been documented in real terms. It was placed on the table, waiting for Tao Tie to see it. Tao Tie had read Teachers' Anthology in his previous life and knew the importance of research and specific analysis of specific issues. How can you make a decision based on vague impressions without reading the detailed information? He immediately picked up the document on the desk and read it carefully. By the time Tao Tie finished reading the contents of the document carefully, it was already the beginning of the Si hour (09:00). The timing was just right. According to regulations, the three shifts of inspectors from the Immortal God Department leave the yamen and go to the areas they are responsible for to inspect at this point. Tao Tie put down the documents, thought for a moment, quickly changed into the official uniform of a ninth-rank inspector general, and then left the duty room. I don't do this to show off, nor do I do it with the idea of wearing fine clothes and never traveling at night. But it is a convention, to blend in with the world. Other officials all do this, but you are so friendly. Are you special? The thirty-six inspectors of Class B have already lined up, and with Tao Tie's order, they can set out to perform their duties. Tao Tie didn't talk nonsense like before. He waved his hand lightly and gave the order neatly: "Let's go." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the office building. The same is true for Class A and Class C. Three lines of people came out one after another. The noise was not loud, but very solemn. Six people wearing the same style of clothes with only different details came in from outside the Immortal God Department. Accompanied by He Bi, the deputy chief steward in charge of external affairs, they walked towards the office building of the chief steward and three deputy chief stewards. The six people were led by an old man with white hair and beard but a face as tender as a baby's. Intentionally or unintentionally, four young men surrounded a veiled woman and protected her. The two groups of people were walking on different paths, their eyes just met but there was no intersection. Why did the deputy governor bring these six people in? The third shift patrol officer left with Tao Tie as the leader. Just when they "passed by" at a distance, Tao Tie felt that the veiled woman looked at him deeply. "Three major illusions in life?" Muttering to himself, Tao Tie quickly put the episode behind him and took the lead in leaving the Immortal Gods Office.
“Keep the communication open.” After giving a few words of advice and fulfilling his duties as the inspector general, Tao Tie did not show off his power and led Class B towards the Yudai River. Class A was of course led by Mo Yuhan and left the city in the direction of Baxian Mountain. Class C is of course under the command of Taoist Qingyun, who patrols the four districts in the city. When they separated at the yamen gate, Tao Tieyou noticed that Tan Jinxuan had taken over the position of captain of Team 3, Class A. This can be considered as asking for benevolence and getting benevolence. The Yudai River is shaped like a "几" and surrounds Liuxian County on three sides. When Class B patrols, they naturally have to divide into three teams, patrolling the three naturally formed river sections from three directions respectively, which will be more efficient. It just so happens that each patrol shift has four teams, so three teams can be used for mobile patrols and one team can be used for emergency preparedness. This is what Mo Yuhan did when he was the deputy head of Class B. Tao Tie continued this practice. Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others. Although the ninth-rank official position is only the second to last among the nine-rank and eighteen-level official positions in the Dayong Dynasty, it is also a hard-working position that governs people. Tao Tie naturally acted with the emergency preparedness team. Even, Tao Tie doesn't have to stay with any team and go wherever he wants. Just don't mess up the job. Among the thirty-six clerks in Class B, who dares to supervise Tao Tie? Class is everywhere! But Tao Tie didn't do that. Instead, he led the emergency preparedness team and made diligent preparations. He worked diligently until nearly dusk, when he led Class B back to the Immortal Gods Office to attend the party. What was strange was that when the three Caos and three squads had assembled in the martial arts arena and the chief steward Huang Junshi led three deputy chief stewards out, outsiders also followed. It was exactly the six people, including the old man, four men and one woman, from this morning. "introduce," Huang Junshi usually skipped the formalities and spoke directly, "These six are members of the Yu family. They responded to the imperial court's call and came to observe how we work at the grassroots level. For a period of time in the future, these six people will be running around everywhere. When you are working, just treat them as mosquitoes and flies buzzing and ignore them." After saying something very sarcastic and even cursing, Huang Junshi waved his hand and said, "Dismiss." As soon as he finished speaking, no matter what others thought, he turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared. The atmosphere in the martial arts arena was quite strange. Whether it was the three deputy stewards, the three Caos, or the three squads, they had long been accustomed to Huang Junshi's style.
But I had only heard of the six people from the Yu family who came from Siming Prefecture City and were not familiar with them. After being insulted like this, not to mention whether he dared to fight back, he didn't even have the chance to do so. What is this? The old man with white hair and beard was fine and he kept his composure. The veiled woman obviously knew more about the situation. She was angry but managed to hold it in. The four young men who were visibly protecting the veiled woman were not so calm. One by one, they grasped the scabbard of the sword at their waist with their right hand and opened their eyes angrily. It seemed that they would just wait for the old man or the veiled woman to give the order and then they would draw their swords, seek out Huang Junshi and have a good fight. "What are you looking at? They're all gone!" At this moment, Tao Tie jumped out and shouted angrily, "It's time to end your shift! What are you still doing here? Go home and find your mothers! What are you doing here with your eyes wide open like a toad? Are you making a fuss?" This roar is similar to Huang Junshi's weird tone. Worthy of being teacher and student! The three deputy governors have all been trained in official etiquette and generally do not laugh. However, at this moment, I really couldn't help it. "Puch..." Wu Kunlun, who came from the provincial capital and had a lot of dealings with the Yu family, was the first to laugh. Next came Cai Si and He Bi. The three Caos and the three shifts did not dare to do so. After all, the Yu family has a very loud reputation in Siming Prefecture. Ordinary people can't afford to offend him. But even though you can't afford to offend him, it's always right to obey your boss's orders. First the steward said "dismiss meeting", then the inspector said "go home", so what are you still doing here? Do you want to continue to make fun of the Yu family? So, the three shifts of inspectors followed Tao Tie first, and left the yamen in an orderly and imposing manner. The three Caos followed immediately. Soon, the only people left on the martial arts field were the three still-laughing deputy stewards and six members of the Yu family. "That's Tao Tie?" The veiled woman suddenly spoke, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale, "Tao Tie, the eccentric talent that Huang Duguan found in the missionary academy? Tao Tie, who killed a sixth-rank lower-rank demon with his eighth-rank upper cultivation? Tao Tie, who used to be a dock porter and had a stubborn body?" Listening to the veiled woman's series of questions, the three deputy stewards gradually stopped laughing. Then he looked at the veiled woman silently in tacit understanding. The investigation is so clear that everyone can understand it.
What do you want to do by saying it so bluntly? Facing the silent gazes of the three deputy governors, the veiled woman smiled and said, "I want to make friends with Daoist Fellow Tao Tie. I wonder if the three governors can introduce him to me?" None of the three deputy stewards answered. The old man with white hair and beard frowned slightly. The four men loosened their right hands that were holding the hilts of the swords, with something strange in their eyes. Tao Tie, who was being missed by others, had just returned to his courtyard house in Dongcheng District. Before he could start teaching Du Bo how to practice Xingyiquan, he received two invitations. It was a letter from the county government, on exquisite paper, written by the county magistrate Miao Zongren himself. A letter came from Baxian Mountain. It was a ginkgo leaf and was sent by a mountain ghost girl. The two invitations told the same story from different angles, both inviting Tao Tie to attend the ceremony at the Baxian Mountain. At the beginning of the hour of Hai tonight, the mountain god will confer the title! (End of this chapter)
