Immortality begins with the ninth grade patrol officer

Chapter 42
'Captain Zhao? '

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, he ordered, "Let him come in!"

Immediately afterwards, a sergeant wearing soft armor came in respectfully from the outside. Pushing an invitation letter with both hands, he sent it to Lu Yu: "My captain, I would like to invite you, Sir, today at Youshi noon, I will be here." Let’s get together at Yuhu Villa in the south of the city, this is the invitation!”

Lu Yu looked at the invitation letter sent in front of him, and one thought after another came to his mind.

He has no friendship with Captain Zhao.

Never had any contact before.

But now, Captain Zhao actually sent an invitation letter to invite him.

'Is it because I became the county captain, took charge of the county government, and held the positions of so many officials and monks, and Captain Zhao also wanted a piece of the pie? '

'No matter what the reason is, since the other party invited me, no matter what, I have to meet this person who has been a county camp captain in Xuanwu County for more than ten years to see who he is. . '

rumored.

This man is cunning, greedy and lustful, and he is indispensable for any good things in Xuanwu County.

But rumors are just rumors after all. If this person meets Lu Yu's interests, he may not be able to cooperate with him.Although there are already candidates for the vacant positions in the county government.But the Department of Defense, if you squeeze casually over there, you can still squeeze out a few positions.

And most importantly!
That is, whether it was the last operation by Jiannan Road officials to target the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, or this time the countywide operation to clean up demonic cultivators.

Captain Zhao was not implicated in the slightest, and it was not just him, but the entire county camp.

It can be seen that there may be a huge discrepancy between what is said and what is said.If he was really greedy, he would not be able to do anything in the face of the all-pervasive means of the demonic cultivators.

'As long as the person is decent, it is always beneficial to make friends!Regardless of whether this friend can realize his value now, even if it really comes to a critical moment of life and death, as long as he doesn't stab me in the back, it can still be regarded as a good investment! '

There are too many people in this world who add insult to injury!
Lu Yu smiled slightly, accepted the invitation, and said, "Tell your captain that I will be there on time."

The messenger sergeant then withdrew.

Lu Yu opened the documents that had been placed on the table for a long time, regarding the handling of Zhang Qinghe and Liu Fang.

The above lists every crime that Zhang Qinghe and Liu Fang have proven.

Lu Yu looked up and down and nodded: "These people's ability to do things is quite good. They sorted out what I wanted so quickly!" At this time, he took the red pen on the side and commented, "Read."

"Permission is given to behead him at Caishikou in the west of the city at noon tomorrow."

He added below, "I will be there in person when the time comes."

After annotating it, Lu Yu handed the document to a guard guarding the side and said, "Send it to the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately and let them start preparations immediately."

The officer retired.

Lu Yu opened some other official documents, and after sorting them out, left the lobby, returned to the official room again, closed his eyes and rested.

Watching the sun gradually set, the sky in the distance was filled with red clouds, reflecting a unique and wonderful world.

Lu Yu estimated that it was almost time, so he got up and walked towards Yuhu Villa.

The famous name of Yuhu Villa.

Lu Yu had heard of it a long time ago.

Others say that it is a leisure venue that integrates dining, accommodation, hot spring training, and all kinds of enjoyment. It is also the famous gold-selling cave in Xuanwu County.

but.

Lu Yu has never experienced it before.

He also wanted to see what was the difference between this existence in a world of cultivation and the same type of existence in the previous life.

if you can.

I even want to build one in Tongyu Town.After all, he has so many friends now. He can't always entertain others with barbecue, he has to do something new.

of course.

It's just one of his thoughts.

Whether it can be implemented depends on whether Tongyu Town can really be built.

Don't mention this.

It didn't take long for Lu Yu to arrive at the entrance of Yuhu Villa.At this moment, a burly man in regular clothes stood at the door of the villa.

Even not close.

The strong aura of cultivation on the other party's body had already been sensed by Lu Yu.

Don't guess.

Lu Yu also knew that this must be the captain in charge of the county camp, Zhao Yi.

really!

Seeing Lu Yu appear, the strong man immediately came up to him and laughed loudly: "Oh, I am ashamed, I have never met Mr. Lu in person until today! I heard people say before that I thought Mr. Lu was a young hero, but now I see him Now, I feel that what others said is right!"

Lu Yu said quickly: "Lu has also admired the name of the captain for a long time, but he has been busy with personal affairs before and was unable to come to see me. I hope that the captain will forgive me."

Zhao Yi had a smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, you're welcome, come on, please come inside!"

He pulled Lu Yu's arm very affectionately, walked past the towering gatehouse of Yuhu Villa, and walked inside.

Just walked in.

Lu Yu felt a warm spiritual breath coming towards his face.The spirit was shaken for no reason. When I looked around, I saw a clear stream flowing from nowhere. Under the setting sun, it was filled with fish scale ripples and poured into a lake in front of it that was dozens of feet wide and looked like a small lake. in the pond.

At this moment, the pond has dozens of streams of jade-white water flowing into it, in batches, into the independent semi-enclosed courtyards built around the large pond and connected by corridors with exquisitely carved patterns.

Lu Yu's eyes fell on the pond.

Wisps of steaming water mist, streaks of dazzling light, and bursts of refreshing aura.

'Although the spiritual energy here is not as good as the small cave where Xuanwu Pavilion is located, it is not weak at all compared with the spiritual energy built into the yamen in Xuanwu County! '

'It's no wonder that this place is valued by the dignitaries in Xuanwu County. It's really the spiritual breath here, not to mention ordinary people, even monks with a certain level of cultivation, it has a certain cultivation effect! '

Zhao Yi followed Lu Yu's gaze and said with a smile: "Yuhu Villa is named after this!" He pointed to the clear stream flowing from an unknown place, "The original boss of Yuhu Villa, Mr. Gao Someone pointed out that a small lake like this was built on the edge of this clear stream that contains spiritual energy. It took decades of operation to reach the scale it is today!"

Lu Yu glanced at the semi-enclosed courtyards beside the small lake in Zhao Yi's mouth and asked, "It is indeed very good, but there seems to be no one here today."

At a glance, except for the steaming mist, there is indeed no one.

Zhao Yi laughed and said: "Zhao has reserved the venue today."

Lu Yu glanced at Zhao Yi with a smile but not a smile: "Sir, Colonel, it's a waste of money!"

Zhao Yi said seriously: "Master Lu, you are my distinguished guest!" As he said that, the two of them followed the corridor built by the water and went straight to the source of this 'small lake'.

There stands a courtyard that is different from anywhere else.

Lu Yu followed Zhao Yi and walked in.

I saw a huge barbecue grill in an open pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.Several pretty maids were waiting inside.Seeing Lu Yu and Zhao Yi coming over, they both bowed Yingying and said in a soft voice: "Welcome, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yu frowned.

Zhao Yi had a look and waved his hand.

For a moment, all these maids retreated.Then Zhao Yi walked to the grill by himself and started to work.Lu Yu said: "Your Excellency, you are serious."

As soon as we came up, a barbecue grill was set up.

This was obviously done deliberately after learning about Lu Yu's eating habits.

As for where to find out.

Can be imagined.

It's not that Lu Yu likes barbecue. Barbecuing is actually the most convenient. And although the food in this world cannot be called a desert, it is not rich enough. Of course, it may be that Xuanwu County is too small.So under normal circumstances, Lu Yu likes to use barbecue to solve the problem of food and clothing in his stomach.

Unexpectedly, Colonel Zhao misunderstood that he liked barbecue.

But Lu Yu didn't point it out.

Instead, he sat calmly on the side, and his eyes fell on the cooked meat that was thrown up on a large iron rack.

Zhao Yidao: "This is the owner of Yuhu Villa. Some time ago, he hunted a wild sheep with spiritual intelligence from the mountains. After Zhao heard about it, he spent money to buy it. It is just right to entertain Mr. Lu today."

He bowled a large piece of meat with a knife and brought it to Lu Yu, "Here, have a taste!"

Lu Yu chuckled and said, "I, Lu Yu, am the only one who has the honor to taste the barbecue cooked by the captain himself!" He was not polite, took it and ate it in one bite.

Zhao Yi stared at Lu Yu and said, "How is it?"

Lu Yu gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, very good!"

Zhao Yi laughed.

The two of them chatted incessantly, starting from Ou Yangming, the former county captain, to the resigned Chief Secretary Shan, and from Lu Yu just taking office, to the Defense Department's great power this time.

Especially when he said this, Zhao Yi's eyes were full of excitement.

But also at this moment.

Someone outside the door shouted: "General Zhao, Mr. Lu, and the grassroots Pan Fengchun want to see you."

Zhao Yi then stopped talking and said, "Come in."

I saw an old man wearing a brocade robe, leading two followers, walking in from outside.The two followers, each holding a jug of wine, arrived at Lu Yu and Zhao Yi's side in a few steps.

Zhao Yi introduced: "He is the boss of Yuhu Villa."

Pan Fengchun immediately lowered his waist by half, cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "It's just a grassroots man."

Lu Yu glanced at it.

Even though this old man has some manners, he is just an ordinary person. It is remarkable because he has been in such a gathering place of spiritual energy all year round, and his body is different from ordinary people, but he is still an ordinary person.

Pan Fengchun said: "When I heard that the county captain came to my Yuhu Villa, the villagers were very surprised. They couldn't come up with anything else in a hurry, so they used our Bailing brew, which is tempered with hundreds of herbs and ten herbs, as a filial piety." You’re an adult!”

The two followers had already delivered the jug containing Bailing Brew to Lu Yu and Zhao Yi.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Boss Pan, you're so polite."

Zhao Yi said calmly: "In that case, thank you very much, Boss Pan!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the owner of Yuhu Villa withdrew with a wink.

Come and go.

Lu Yu finally understood.

Zhao Yi and the boss of Yuhu Villa are actually in a master-servant relationship.The real boss of this Yuhu Villa is most likely Zhao Yi.

Pan Fengchun is called the boss, but in fact he is just a shopkeeper under Zhao Yi.

Think about it, it should be like this.

There are wild sheep that have awakened their spiritual wisdom, and then there is this kind of fine wine mixed with spiritual herbs. This is not something that ordinary people can get.

Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "You are worthy of being a captain in Xuanwu County for more than ten years. This hidden strength is quite impressive." '

Of course this is Zhao Yi's relationship.

It has nothing to do with Lu Yu.

All this before my eyes.

Lu Yu also accepted it with peace of mind.

This world, unlike the previous life, does not have so many taboos.If having a meal or drinking in private is subject to investigation by superiors, then what's the point of being an official monk?

Just a bottle of wine.

Zhao Yi's main dish was finally served.

Then Captain Zhao said: "To be honest, Zhao has a very difficult matter at hand, and I would like to ask for your help."

'Troublesome thing?Didn't he come to talk to me about the official position? '

Lu Yu remained calm and asked, "Tell me first."

Zhao Yi said quickly: "Some time ago, Zhao bought a barren mountain in Tongyu Town, adjacent to Tongyu Mountain. He wanted to dig some stones and sell them for money, but he didn't want to accidentally dig a small black stone mine at the foot of the mountain. Brother, you came down from the mountain, and you should know that officials like us who are not from the mountains have no problem opening up ordinary barren mountains and even ores, but once it involves spiritual mines, the problem is different."

"The people who mined for Zhao at that time, along with the mines, were detained by Xuanwu Pavilion. Zhao didn't feel sorry for those ores, but felt sorry for the people who worked for me. They were all raised by my parents, and many of them were of the same race as mine. It’s hard for me to explain to my family members.”

"Brother, if you want help, ask if those people are okay. Can we put them back first? I, Zhao Yi, will accept any punishment." Zhao Yi patted his chest, "If you destroy me because of this, I am also willing to take on the position of captain."

Lu Yu muttered: "Don't worry about this. Xuanwu Pavilion is not a dangerous place. As long as it is verified that it was not intentional, it should be put back. As for why you haven't come back now, according to my guess, it is probably because of the previous incident." The trouble caused by helping the demon cultivator is too big to be taken care of at the moment."

Zhao Yi took a long breath and said, "With your words, I feel relieved!" The guy glanced around again, and then asked in a low voice, "There is one more question."

Lu Yu said calmly: "Just tell me."

Zhao Yi laughed, a little embarrassed: "I just want to ask, can you sell me the black stone mine? Anyway, Zhao paid a lot of money to buy that mountain. If the cost cannot be recovered, it will be a big loss.”

Lu Yu nodded: "That's the truth... After I finish handling the matters at hand, I will go to Xuanwu Pavilion to ask you questions and I will give you a satisfactory answer!"

In general.

Mines like this involving spiritual minerals, palaces, courtyards and pavilions are not allowed to be outsourced in principle and sold to people who are not Qing monks.Although outsourcing is not allowed, in-house personnel are allowed to take over.But in the end, it doesn’t matter whether this person is outsourced or not.

Zhao Yi knelt on the ground excitedly: "Thank you, brother. If you really allow outsourcing to be sold to me, brother... No, Mr. Lu, I, Zhao Yi, am willing to give you all the proceeds after excluding labor costs and other consumption!"

Lu Yu was shocked: "How to do it?"

A black stone mine, even a small one, or even a miniature one, can dig out eighteen hundred kilograms of black stone.What is black stone?That is one of the auxiliary materials for forging a first-level magic weapon. Eighteen hundred kilograms of black stone, selling it for several thousand spirit stones is not a problem at all.

Moreover, as long as Lu Yu inquires about Xuanwu Pavilion.

It was easy for him to capture this small black stone mine.

If Zhao Yi is really what he said, that is to say, Lu Yu will get at least several thousand spiritual stones in vain without having to spend any money himself.Zhao Yi gave this away without blinking an eyelid. What was he doing?
This is no longer flattering.

It's obvious that he is taking refuge and looking for a backer.

Lu Yu didn't believe that Zhao Yi could fish out several people with his all-round skills.From the beginning of showing his strength to everything now.

Zhao Yi is showing his due value.

Then I heard Zhao Yi say: "To be honest with Mr. Lu, Zhao has been serving as the county camp captain of Xuanwu County for more than ten years. He has been cautious and cautious in these years, but even so, he is looked down upon by people from all walks of life. Shan has resigned. The chief secretary treats me as an uncultivated rough man, and Ouyang Ming privately calls me a wallflower, and treats me half-truth and half-falsely."

"Even the high Xuanwu Pavilion has never looked at me directly. Your Excellency is the only one who doesn't look down at me. I am convinced by your Excellency."

Lu Yu could sense the sorrow of the official monk from Zhao Yi's body, and sighed: "Do you want me to help you solve the problem of your seat?"

Zhao Yi shook his head: "No, I didn't mean that. I just admire your personality and your thunderbolt skills. I would like to ask you to give me a chance! A chance to follow you."

The scene is a bit weird.

A person who had reached the eighth rank in the military and controlled the real power of the county camp actually expressed his intention to follow and join the ranks of an eighth-rank county captain who was not considered top-notch in the county government's internal system.

Of course, this is only the superficial relationship and status between the two parties.

To be honest, Zhao Yi's mere school lieutenant is really not comparable to the current Lu Yu.

Lu Yu said nothing and stared at Zhao Yi with a deep gaze.

Zhao Yi was very calm.

After a long while, Lu Yu smiled: "Don't say words like "following or taking refuge" again. If others hear these words, they will make a joke. If you really want to stand with me, just manage yourself well. As long as you don’t cause any trouble to my territory!” As he said that, he grabbed the pot of lark brew and drank it in one gulp.

"Also, if the Wujing stone mine is taken down, you don't need to give me that much, [-]% is enough."

When Zhao Yi heard the previous words, his face fell, thinking that Lu Yu would not accept him, but when he heard the next words, he was so ecstatic that he kowtowed directly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Lu Yu smiled without saying a word.

He never expected that when he came to Yuhu Villa this time, not only would he inexplicably accept a county battalion captain, but he would also get half of a spiritual mine for free.Faced with Zhao Yi's surrender, he did not refuse, also in order to strengthen his base.

Also, there is nothing wrong with this person.

That's it.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour before it came to an end.After eating and drinking, Zhao Yi invited Lu Yu to take a dip in Lingquan.

that night.

Lu Yu stayed at Yuhu Villa.

the next day.

noon.

Cai Shikou.

The scorching sunlight casts its light on a half-person-high stone platform in the middle of Caishikou.I saw two people kneeling on the stone platform.

One is Zhang Qinghe and the other is Liu Fang.

Although it had only been a few days, they were already in disfigured shape, their eyes were dull, their beards and beards were in a mess, and their image was very bad.

just now.

Beside them, each stood an executioner.

Under the stone platform, a circle of people had already surrounded them. They were all in high spirits and kept attacking Zhang Qinghe and Liu Fang with vegetable leaves and eggs.

"It has long been seen that you are not a good person!"

"In just a few days, the county has been turned into a mess. Fortunately, Mr. Lu Yu suppressed you. Otherwise, would we still have a chance to survive?"

"Kill them!"

At this moment, there is a shed set up behind the stone platform.There was a table placed inside the shed, with Lu Yu at the head and Zhao Yi at the side.

The person standing on the other side was Qi Xiao, who had just returned to the county town and had been appointed by Lu Yu as the patrol officer in charge.

Seeing that it's almost time.

Lu Yu glanced at Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao understood the idea, raised up the official document that he had prepared long ago, and said loudly: "Zhang Qinghe, the former Xuanwu Pavilion military officer in Xuanwu County, took office as the county captain of Xuanwu County a few months ago. This man has evil intentions, colludes with evil cultivators, and has repeatedly committed crimes." The evidence for murder and disobedience is clear, and the punishment is beheading."

"Liu Fang, the former head of the Xuanwu County Patrol Department, this person conspired to destroy the environment of Xuanwu County, and he was also a Blood Spirit Demon disciple hiding in the county. It was found that dozens of people died at his hands. , now that the evidence is conclusive, he will be punished by beheading!"

"Execute now!"

Zhang Qinghe and Liu Fang, who were kneeling on the stone platform, seemed to have flashbacks, and their chaotic eyes suddenly brightened.The two of them looked up at the guillotine on the executioner's hand. They were both trembling and no longer as dignified as before.

The executioner gave them no time to think.

He raised the knife and dropped it with a puff, and the two hot heads rolled down from the stone platform.

Zhang Qinghe and Liu Fang.

died!

At this time, the system's voice sounded from Lu Yu's head: "Congratulations, you have successfully completed the task of eradicating Zhang Qinghe. You will be rewarded with a free 100% breakthrough opportunity, a Great Hunyuan Pill, and +900 points."

【Points: 1299】

The chance of free breakthrough is once again increased to three times.

Lu Yu smiled all over his face.

Invisibly, it was as if something on the body was missing, and the whole body felt indescribably happy.

Maybe.

It was probably because he had to completely resolve the trouble that had been entangled with him since the beginning of his time travel.

Now!

Everyone got up and left.

Not far from the stone platform, there were two people among the vegetable farmers.One of them stared at Lu Yu who was walking away, gritted his teeth and said: "Dharma protector, he is Lu Yu."

This man's face was sallow, and he was obviously covered up with meat oil mixed with mud.

Another person mused: "Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person!"

The person before didn't seem to expect that the 'Dharma Protector' would actually appreciate Lu Yu, and was a little surprised.

The protector said calmly: "Although Lu Yu is our enemy, there is no doubt that this person is great. Junior Brother Huang, sometimes, don't be blinded by hatred. You must stand appropriately from that person's perspective, Come and think about the problem, think about why, time and time again, you have been defeated by him."

Huang's facial muscles trembled, but he didn't make a sound.

The protector stood up and walked in the opposite direction of Lu Yu: "Let's go out of the city now, it's not safe here!"

Huang Da then asked: "Where to go?"

"I heard that the monsters in Tongyu Mountain are having a falling out. Let's go over and take a look. Maybe we can find one or two powerful helpers. With help, we can deal with Lu Yu better, don't you think?"

　Thanks to 'The Thief in White', 'Chongyang Street No. 622 Brother', 'Taibai invites the Moon to the Immortal in Wine', 'Ru Dao Dao', 'K[-]' and Q book friend 'Zhengguo' Mo Ran' for their recommendation votes.
