Chapter 60 There is definitely something going on here
"Incredible, absolutely incredible!"
Although the Tanzhou branch of Jinyu Tower was not the best, it was pretty good. Shen Yu was able to destroy the Tanzhou branch of Jinyu Tower by himself, making many assassins afraid to act rashly. This skill must be quite strong, at least it must be the Xiantian realm.
It has only been a short time since then. When I met him, he should still be in the post-natal realm. If I hadn't repeatedly confirmed that this couldn't be false information, Mr. Chen would have really thought that someone was fooling them.
Moreover, intelligence reports said that his swordsmanship was as flawless as white clouds, as swift and sharp as thunder, and almost invulnerable, which was truly terrifying. Moreover, his sound wave power from the zither was even more invincible, so he was called the master of both zither and sword by the people in the martial arts world, and he had his own place in the vast martial arts world.
Is this still the Shen Hengzhi I know? Could he have been replaced by someone else?
"Great, I didn't expect that there would be such a person in Bai'an County. It really opened my eyes!" The old man on the side couldn't help but admire again. He suddenly had an infinite liking for this young man whom he had never met before.
He is brave, resourceful, skilled in martial arts, and not afraid at critical moments. He dares to confront a huge force like Jinyu Tower head-on. Isn't he the best candidate he needs? No one is more suitable than him.
"An expert in both the zither and the sword. Great, very good. If such a person goes to Sanshui, he will definitely cause some waves!" The old man slammed the table again, and it was obvious that he had made a decision.
This old man is good in every way except that he has a bad temper and likes to bang the table. Now the table in front of him has been covered with cracks. Another table has completed its mission and spent its glorious but short life.
Well, it’s a good thing that the slap didn’t hit me, otherwise I would have suffered a lot.
"Mr. Chen, I will prepare a transfer order right now. Once the transfer order from the Ministry of Personnel comes down, you will go to Bai'an County in person. Remember to remind him to leave quickly. I can't wait any longer!"
"Old man, we are not in a hurry. Just send your candidates over and wait for the transfer order from the Ministry of Personnel to come down. It will take at least one or two months to go back and forth. There is no time to rush!"
"I know I can't be impatient, but these martial artists are going too far. If there's a county magistrate who's highly skilled in martial arts and not afraid of trouble, they'll be disgusted to death if they can't be killed!"
"Well, old man, as long as you are happy!"
Time flies, and Shen Yu in Bai'an County has no idea that he has been targeted. Since he destroyed the assassin of Jinyu Tower in Tanzhou, no one dared to assassinate him for two months. After all, although 300,000 taels is good, it is not as good as being alive.
That was the Jinyu Tower. The six ace killers, the unfathomable tower owner, and the luxurious team of hundreds of top killers were all wiped out in a small valley in Bai'an County. It really shocked the entire Tanzhou martial arts world, and even the name of Shen Yu began to spread throughout the entire Nanhua Region.
However, Shen Yu was completely unaware of these things. After all, he was not involved in the underworld, and there were no underworld masters around him. Naturally, these underworld news could not reach his ears.
Now Shen Yu is devoted to doing things and building his career. He accepts refugees and arranges for them to build river embankments, roads, reclaim wasteland, and dredge waterways. The entire Bai'an County seems to have entered a period of large-scale construction.
In addition to food, the refugees also needed a variety of daily necessities. They went to work, and Shen Yu paid them wages. With money, more and more vendors began to move in. Compared with the depression in other places, the entire Bai'an County was booming at this time.
At this time, only Sun Heling, the former richest man in Bai'an County, was crying silently. The money in the mansion was flowing out, and all the family property that needed to be sold was sold, basically all of it was exchanged for food. The foundation he built with his own hands was basically spent.
As a person who loves money, there is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing the money disappear right in front of you. It makes me feel so cold!
But he had completely given up the idea of resistance. As the richest man in Bai'an County, he was also one of the richest businessmen in Changling County. He had heard of the name of Jinyu Tower and knew that it was a terrifying behemoth. Now that such a behemoth had been destroyed by the county magistrate, how could he dare to have any other ideas?
I just hope that in view of my diligence, the county magistrate will fulfill his promise and leave him some capital to make a comeback.
"Sir, this place was originally wasteland, but now it has been reclaimed, from here to there!" In the countryside, the elders among the refugees stood beside Shen Yu with a respectful look on their faces, pointing to the wasteland that had been reclaimed during this period.
In the eyes of these refugees, Shen Yu was their savior. Moreover, as a county magistrate, he was not arrogant at all and even often worked with them. If such an official is not respected, there will be no good official worthy of respect in the world.
"Lord Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. You really impress me!" Suddenly, a hearty laugh sounded in his ears. Shen Yu turned around and saw a familiar figure coming towards him.
"Mr. Chen?" Shen Yu was also very familiar with this figure, and immediately greeted him with a smile. "It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Chen is still as charming as ever. I wonder why Mr. Chen came to my Bai'an County?"
"I came for you!"
"for me?"
"Not bad!" Mr. Chen nodded, then smiled and bowed to Shen Yu, "Master Shen, congratulations!"
"Congratulations?" As soon as they met, Mr. Chen congratulated him, which made Shen Yu a little confused. He didn't get promoted, didn't get rich, and didn't get married, so what was there to congratulate?
"Sir Shen, congratulations, Sir Shen, you have been promoted, and the transfer order from the court will arrive soon!"
"Promoted?" Shen Yu was still a little bit unbelieving when he heard Mr. Chen's words. According to the rules, the assessment is conducted every three years, and only those with good assessment results are eligible for promotion. They are just qualified. After all, there is only one position for each person. If the people above are not leaving, there will not be so many vacant positions.
He has already made preparations for another three years, and another three years after that, so he is concentrating on construction and striving to make Bai'an County a strong, prosperous, and civilized county.
At this time, someone suddenly told him that he was promoted. Wouldn't he be suspicious? He had only been the county magistrate for half a year. Even if his performance was particularly outstanding during this half year and was noticed by the higher-ups, he would not have been promoted so quickly.
"Mr. Chen, you are joking. What official position can the court promote me to? Tongpan? Zhifu?"
"Sir Shen, it's the county magistrate."
"What the hell? County magistrate?" You are talking nonsense. County magistrate is not a promotion, it's a lateral transfer! What's more, he has worked so hard to run Bai'an County, and he wants to transfer him away before he can even warm up to it. Are you trying to take advantage of him? What? Do you think he is easy to bully?
As if he could see Shen Yu's unhappy expression, Mr. Chen smiled softly, "Jiangzhou, Sanshui County, a superior county, an eighth-rank county magistrate!"
"Sanshui County? Wait, is it the Sanshui County where three rivers meet and five roads connect?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and almost thought he had heard it wrong. That is a wealthy and prosperous place, which is definitely not comparable to a poor and remote place like Bai'an County.
Sanshui County is located at the junction of three major rivers, with developed water transportation and five trade routes running east-west and north-south. The trade routes are smooth and well connected. The area of a county is even larger than some smaller counties, and even the county magistrate is an official eighth rank.
Unlike his current position as the county magistrate of Bai'an County, he was only a ninth-rank official. From the ninth rank to the eighth rank, directly skipping the ninth rank, it was indeed a two-level promotion. If this was true, it would be a real promotion, and a big profit.
But I was just a poor scholar before, with no money, no power, and no background. How could such a good thing happen to me when I was transferred to Sanshui County in Jiangzhou? There must be something wrong!
