Zhang Chu respectfully stood waiting outside the gate of Jun Cheng Guan Temple.

After a while, Zaoyi Xiaoshi, who had gone in to report, walked out of the official temple, cupped his hands to Zhang Chu and said, "Gang leader Zhang, Mr. Shi, please come in."

Zhang Chu stretched out his hand and without leaving a trace, put the ingot of silver hidden under his big sleeve into Zaoyi Xiaoshi's hand, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Li."

Zaoyi Xiaoshi squeezed it, and the smile on his face became warmer: "Guangzhu Zhang is so polite!"

Zhang Chu smiled and nodded, then straightened his clothes, bowed and walked into the official temple.

"Caomin Zhang Chu, pay homage to Mr. Shi!"

Zhang Chu stood in the hall and bowed respectfully to Shi Anzai in the hall.

This was the second time Zhang Chu met Shi Anzai.

He was still wearing a vermilion official uniform with a curved collar and large sleeves, and an official attire with a futou on his head. He was sitting behind a sandalwood writing desk and reviewing official documents with a vermilion pen.

Hearing Zhang Chu's voice, Shi An raised his head and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you."

He put down his ink pen, stood up and walked around from behind the desk to the hall. He took Zhang Chu's arm and invited him to sit down: "Come on, come on, please sit down!"

A look of sincerity and fear appeared on Zhang Chu's face, and he said repeatedly: "Your Excellency, the ordinary people are extremely frightened and terrified."

"Hey, there's no such thing as praise!"

With a breathtaking smile on his face, Shi An said: "You are a great contributor to our Jintian Mansion. If you hadn't made a decisive decision that day and led your troops from the Four Alliance Gang to fight against the Northern Barbarians, our Jintian Mansion might have fallen."

It has fallen into the hands of the Northern Barbarians!"

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't stepped forward and protected Jintian Mansion, I would have been ashamed to return to the capital to meet the Tian family!"

He was not just talking, but he actually bent down to say thank you to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chuna dared to accept his courtesy?

He hurriedly bowed his head to the ground and said urgently: "Master Shi has defeated the common people. In that battle, the master is the one who really made the greatest contribution. If the master had not taken action to kill the sixth-grade Northern Barbarian general, how would we, the common people, be alive?"

The grassroots people were born in Dali and freely bathed in God's grace. The northern barbarians invaded our border with Dali. The grassroots people should fulfill their obligations as the people of Dali. How can they deserve a word of 'thank you' from the adults for their little merit!"

"Well said, a good person who 'fulfills his obligations to the people of the country'. Mr. Nie is indeed right about the person!"

Shi An clapped his hands and praised, "Okay, stop being polite to me, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

Zhang Chu sat down with Shi Anzai in confusion.

Soon a servant in soap clothes came in with two cups of fragrant tea.

The two of them picked up the tea cup and took a small sip before getting down to business.

"I invite you here this time for two things."

Shi Anzai said leisurely.

Zhang Chu clasped his fists respectfully, "Even though your Excellency has made it clear, the common people will do their best to share your worries for you!"

Shi An smiled and nodded, seemingly satisfied with Zhang Chu's attitude.

"The first thing... I heard that you and Wu Shi have a close friendship. Is this true?"

When Zhang Chu heard this, his heart suddenly pounded.

What does this mean?

Is there something wrong with Ushi?

If Wu Shi has no problem, then of course the answer is "yes", which is most beneficial to him.

But if Wu Shi has a problem, once he answers "yes", it will be like shooting himself in the foot.

Zhang Chu's mind changed rapidly, and in the end he felt that it would be better to have no merit than to make a mistake.

"These are all rumors. Please be aware that the common people only have some friendship with the eldest son of the W family, Wu Qianyuan, and have no contact with the W family."

Shi Anzai smiled and said with deep meaning: "I also believe that you have nothing to do with the Wushi. Otherwise, how could you lead your troops from the Four Alliance Gang to fight against the Northern Barbarians?"

Zhang Chu nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face, but huge waves surged in his heart.

What's the meaning?

Could it be that Wu Shi really...

Zhang Chu suddenly recalled that when the Northern Savage Cavalry raided Jintian Mansion three days ago, they attacked and killed the dead soldiers guarding the South City Gate!

After all, Jintian Mansion is the seat of a county. The city is high and the pond is deep. If there are no insiders to seize the city gate, the seven or eight thousand fierce Northern barbarian cavalry without any siege equipment will not even be able to enter the city!

However, the Northern Barbarian spies in Jintian Mansion had been screened under the auspices of Hou Juntang a few years ago. Even if there were still fish that slipped through the net, they did not have the ability to seize the city gate.

The number of forces within Jintian Mansion that are capable of robbing the city gate can be counted on one hand...

Thinking of this, Zhang Chu suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

If he had given a wrong answer just now, would the Lord Jun Cheng, who had a warm smile, turn his face and kill him with a slap in the face?

This is the real heaven and hell with one thought...

Shi Anzai didn't seem to see the horror in Zhang Chu's heart, and continued slowly: "The second thing is that before Mr. Nie went to Northern Xinjiang, he had intended for you to temporarily take over the post of county soldier cao. Because of your background, I had previously been

There is some hesitation, but this time you stepped forward and took the lead in fighting against the Northern Barbarians. I saw your bravery and loyalty, and this official position belongs to you."

When Zhang Chu heard this, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his chair.

What?

Let me temporarily take over the post of county soldier and cao?

What an international joke!

In my dreams, I always think about how to break out of the confines of Jintian Mansion and see this vast world. You want me to temporarily serve as the county soldier?

Wouldn't that mean that he would be chained and completely reduced to a lackey of the county government and Nie Ben?

"Thank you for your admiration, the common people are grateful. However, the martial arts of the common people have not yet reached the seventh level. If I temporarily take over the post of county soldier cao, it will not bring criticism to you, sir?"

Due to Shi Anzai's status, Zhang Chu could only politely decline.

Human beings are such complex animals.

Some people give money and go through the door to get the opportunity with great difficulty, but some people regard it as dirt.

Shi Anzai seemed not to understand the meaning of his words, and waved his hands and said: "You don't need to worry about me. Master Di and Master Nie rushed to Northern Xinjiang and entrusted Wuding County to me. All major military and political matters in the county will be handled by me."

But when it comes down to it, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks!"

awesomeness!

Zhang Chu was speechless.

Is Shi An Zai pretending to be stupid?

He is obviously a threat!

Does Zhang Chu have room to refuse?

No!

This man is not the kind of powerless civil servant!

He is a fifth-grade Qihai tycoon who can kill even a sixth-grade Qihai tycoon alive!

If you don't give this man face, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk out of this official temple alive!

Zhang Chu sighed helplessly in his heart, stood up and bowed his head to the ground: "Your Majesty commends me, how dare the common people disobey me!"

Shi Anzai stood up happily and touched him with his own hands: "From now on, you will no longer be called a commoner in front of me, but you will be called a lower official."

"Yes, I will keep your Lord's instructions in mind."

"Someone is coming!"

Shi An shouted loudly.

The Zaoyi Xiaoshi surnamed Li who had just informed Zhang Chu bowed in and saluted: "Your Excellency."
