The motorcade started and headed towards Leshan.

Half an hour later, when we arrived at a post station, we were greeted by a group of richly dressed people.

Chen Zhao frowned slightly, glanced at Shi Wuzun, and said, "This Eunuch Cao doesn't shy away from traveling at all."

Shi Wuzun nodded and sighed: "Being ostentatious and taking advantage of opportunities to make money, the eunuchs of the inner court since ancient times are no exception."

It turned out that both of them had already figured out that this group of gorgeously dressed people were relatives of officials in Shu, or some wealthy businessmen who clung to the powerful.

Hearing that the chief steward next to the Supreme Leader of the Orthodox Dynasty was here, of course he had to give him a good reception and even offer gold, silver and delicacies to make Eunuch Cao happy.

In fact, as long as the officials in the government are not affiliated with Guozhou Prefecture, they are all local Bailihou, with great power. In the feudal era, it was easy to become an official and make a fortune.

As for the Bailihous of the orthodox dynasty, as long as they do not offend the local martial arts sects and have good relations with them, they will naturally be less afraid of the troubles caused by the mud-legged people, and it will be easier to become an official and make a fortune.

Because it is too easy to exploit people and make money.

It's nothing more than a clever name, trying to get money from Mudlegzi, and then giving 70% to the martial arts sect, leaving 30%, which is enough for the officials to spend their days and nights.

Don't look down on these 30%. Although this 30% is a reward from the martial arts sect, you can't stand it. It's so much money and so safe!

Therefore, most officials do not pursue advancement, but they still have to serve the servants around dignitaries.

They don't ask these people to give them a few good words, they just ask them not to say bad things about themselves, so that they can finish this job safely, and then everything will be fine.

"I didn't expect that Eunuch Cao has such a prominent position. I also saw Chen Daguan, the younger brother of the prefect of Shuzhong."

Shi Wuzun shook his head and smiled.

Of course, the dignified magistrate of Shuzhong, a third-rank official, cannot communicate with the eunuchs in person. Once word spreads, it will inevitably suffer the burden of reputation, but it is appropriate to arrange for the clan brothers to come.

"Oh? The master has not been to Shu for a long time, but he knows the relatives of the local parents and officials."

Chen Zhao asked casually.

Dugu Meng also looked puzzled.

Shi Wuzun smiled faintly: "To be fair to Mr. Chen, most of the information about our Sima family can be shared. The prefect of Shuzhong is extremely capable and does things flawlessly. If our Sima family wants to live in peace for a long time, we will naturally pay extra attention to him.

.”

They were chatting side by side, and when the officials over there saw Cao Huachun, they were like flies seeing a cake, and they immediately surrounded him, with their tongues shining brightly, showing the sincerity behind them.

Cao Huachun's face was reserved, neither cold nor hot, like a high-ranking venerable man.

I only answered them occasionally, but instead of feeling neglected, these officials became more enthusiastic.

In their opinion, the chief internal officer next to the Supreme Being is equivalent to traveling on behalf of the emperor. Of course, he is aloof, has an arrogant tone, and a proud look. Naturally, he should have such a demeanor.

After Cao Huachun talked with the officials for a while, he arranged for a young eunuch to come over and say:

"Now that we have entered Jiazhou, we can now lead the way."

Seeing that the little eunuch looked like a human and a dog, Shi Wuzun replied nonchalantly:

"Follow the road and turn right along the mountain."

While Cao Huachun was chatting, he accidentally glanced from a distance and saw Chen Zhao sitting in the car, who was older than him, the chief eunuch, and a trace of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

'Humph, I'll let you be proud for a while longer. After you enter Lingyun Cave, we will see how our family deals with you.'

He was angry in his heart, looked pale, snorted coldly, and started chatting with the sycophants around him again.

Then soon, some officials shouted:

"Leshan Giant Buddha, I'm familiar with it!"

"As a personal follower of Xiaguan, my hometown is near the Leshan Giant Buddha. It is most appropriate for us to lead the way."

Among the official errands, there are those who still need to go back to work, and some who have a rest today, and there are also relatives of the officials who can accompany the chief eunuch Cao around the clock. Since Eunuch Cao has requested it, of course he can lead the way.

Their carriages and horses were rolling, and they were swaggering through the city. Their huge lineup not only alarmed the passers-by along the way, but also the local government officials naturally greeted them respectfully.

The Leshan Giant Buddha belongs to Leshan County, Jiazhou. I stayed at the largest inn at night, and even the county magistrate came to toast me.

When has this small county magistrate in a remote area seen so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, as well as the great internal manager Cao? He just feels that he is very lucky. The county magistrate not only prepared water and wine, but also prepared generous gifts for everyone.

I just hope that Manager Cao can say a few kind words in front of the emperor, and I also hope that these officials' sons in the provincial capital will not let him wear small shoes.

Cao Huachun sat high at the main table. Next to him was Chen Kang, the clan brother of the prefect of Shuzhong, and Chen Daguanren. On the right was the magistrate of Leshan County. He had a youthful face, a peaceful face, and a noble status. His every word and deed showed the demeanor of a superior. Everyone was respectful and respectful.

, dare not disobey even a little bit.

Chen Zhao and the other two sat obediently in the corner, watching everyone paying attention to Cao Huachun.

"Hmph! He is indeed the chief internal manager, with a high status."

Dugu Meng’s sour words.

She is the princess of Wushuang City. When she is at home, she usually travels like a princess. But in a remote county thousands of miles away, of course she cannot compare with the dignitaries of the orthodox dynasty.

What's more, he is a popular person next to the Supreme Being.

Shi Wuzun looked calm, but to say that he had no grudges in his heart would be a joke.

He was born into a noble family in central Shu, but in the countryside of central Shu, he was not as noble as the imperial family, and he could do nothing.

"Have a good meal."

Chen Zhao, however, remained calm.

Although he also reflected on his rigid thinking without realizing it, he had been an emperor after all, so of course he would not take this small scene seriously.

At this time, Cao Huachun suddenly came over holding a wine glass.

I saw that this dead eunuch was smiling but not smiling. He perfectly demonstrated his ability to kill people with a soft knife. He smiled and said: "Our family is traveling on behalf of the emperor to worship the Leshan Giant Buddha. Thanks to Mr. Chen, we went with him all the way. If the worship is successful,

The country is peaceful and the people are safe, Mr. Chen is a great contributor, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor. Let us borrow flowers to offer Buddha a toast to Mr. Chen."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao with a different look.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that the chief manager Cao took the initiative to carry a cup, other officials also hurriedly came over to toast Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao sneered in his heart.

No one likes the dead eunuch, but he can't stand it because he is the celebrity next to the Supreme Being. It is normal for him to be aloof and proud of the world. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to propose a toast to Chen Zhao.

He had long seen that Chen Zhao had an arrogant look on his face, as if he was supreme, so he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. How could Chen Zhao not see it?

But how could he care? So he just said lightly: "I don't drink."

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. What do you mean? We took the initiative to propose a toast to you, and you still put on airs?

At this time, Chen Kang, the clan brother of the prefect of Shuzhong, frowned slightly, picked up the wine glass with a smile and said: "Mr. Chen, let me toast you, okay."

Chen Kangnai is a relative and friend of a high-ranking official. When he thinks about it, he, a member of the magistrate, offers you, an ordinary person, a glass of wine. This is a huge honor for you, so how dare you not drink?

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhao could not sit still and said calmly:

"Don't drink!"

After the words fell, the whole place fell silent.

Chen Kang's face froze, his smile suddenly froze, and the corners of his eyes became sharp.

Seeing that Chen Zhao didn't even give the official Chen the face, many people couldn't help but shake their heads secretly when they looked at him.

Where did this little guy come from to be so arrogant? He didn't even give Mr. Cao and Mr. Chen the respect. He really didn't know how high things were.

Although I don’t know why General Manager Cao values ​​this person, but what he said is that he just needs his help when worshiping the Leshan Giant Buddha. After the worship is over, what else can you use?

Seeing the anger in Chen Daguan's eyes, he seemed to be angry on the spot. The Leshan County magistrate hurried over to smooth things over.

"Oh, I'm here to give you a drink. I want you to do it first as a courtesy."

The county magistrate is Bailihou, a dignified seventh-rank official, and he is so respectful to Chen Daguan. Naturally, Chen Daguan will not refute his face and drinks it in one gulp.

Then he snorted coldly, slapped the wine glass on the table, and walked away.

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao with pity, knowing that he was hated by Chen Daguan.

Cao Huachun saw it from a distance, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He is not a fool. He cannot be fooled by the twists and turns of the subordinates in the government. He has also heard a lot about the deeds of the officials' relatives. It can be said that in the market, these powerful people are intertwined with the government and have great power. Even he, a big internal manager,

The celebrities around the Supreme are not willing to offend easily. This Chen Zhao is so arrogant. I really don’t know where he can get the confidence?

"Xiong Ba's son can only be an obedient headhunter from the Ministry of Justice. You are an ignorant young man, don't you know that the sky is so thick and high?" He shook his head and decided not to pay attention to it.
