Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Several clerks looked at each other, each with a look of gloating on their faces.

Not to mention, seeing the big shots of the past get into trouble, they actually felt a special sense of satisfaction in their hearts, and unconsciously put themselves in the shoes of Lord Song.

Ah!

Cool!

So cool!

The feeling of having a high level of cultivation, holding power, and having the power over life and death is really awesome!

In response to the pleas of several thousand households, Song Xuan glanced coldly and said in a cold voice: "I don't want to talk about the past. Tomorrow, I want to see your work reports for the past ten years!

If you can't complete it, go find it if you have connections, or die if you don't! "

As he spoke, he looked down at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Sir, have I made myself clear enough?"

"Clear! Clear!"

The captains nodded hurriedly, some even wiping their sweat while expressing their loyalty, "Don't worry, sir. I will prepare the performance report tonight and will not dare to disobey your order!"

Song Xuan was too lazy to say more, and waved his sleeves, "Get out!"

Several people nodded and bowed and quickly stood up, but when they reached the gate, they were stopped by Song Xuan.

Several people shuddered, and one of the thinner captains asked in a trembling voice, "My lord, do you have any other instructions?"

Song Xuan pointed at the two thousand households planted in the ground not far away and said coldly, "Pull out these two old onions too. They're an eyesore!"

Several captains felt relieved and hurried forward to pull the bearded man and the burly man out of the soil. Then, they thanked them profusely and carried the two men out of the yamen as if they were escaping.

After a few people left, Song Xuan looked at the civil servants who were watching the show on the side.

To put it simply, these people are the secretaries of Mr. Song.

"Has anything happened in the government office these past two days?"

A pretty female clerk said excitedly, "Sir, there are no important matters to be handled in the yamen these days. If you have something to deal with, you can go there first. We can take care of the trivial matters in the yamen."

Song Xuan nodded. If he hadn't dealt with these thousand households today, he, Lord Song, would still be a commander without troops.

"grown ups......"

Seeing Song Xuan about to leave, the female secretary said admiringly, "Sir, those thousand households came here today to question us, and we are very worried. We are all wondering how you should explain it to them.

I didn’t expect that the adults could handle it so easily.”

"explain?"

Song Xuan's expression was a little strange. "Who told you that those in a higher position need to explain to those in a lower position?"

Chapter 687 It turns out that this is the real struggle in officialdom!

"what?"

The female secretary was stunned. "Don't you need to explain? I recently read a book about spiritual practice.

The protagonist is Fairy Feiyun, a Mahayana cultivator. In order to overcome the calamity and ascend to heaven without being disturbed by her inner demons, she chooses to gain experience in the mortal world and enter the court as an official, starting as a seventh-rank official and gradually becoming the chief minister of the cabinet.

Along the way, she encountered all kinds of questioning and calculations, but she relied on her wisdom to find evidence and her eloquence to resolve all the troubles one by one.

The book talks a lot about the ways of being an official and the rules of the officialdom. I benefited a lot from reading it."

Song Xuan was silent for a moment. "You'd better not read too much of this kind of storybook! If you read too much, your IQ will become negative."

A Mahayana monk who is an official is trying to find evidence and defend himself after being framed?

Are you kidding me?

Do you really think that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in the hands of a Mahayana cultivator is just a decoration?

Song Xuan spent a rare day in the yamen. Although he was slacking off, in the eyes of outsiders, Lord Song was really dedicated.

When it was getting dark, Wanhu Luo Chang'an arrived.

"Brother Song!"

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Changan started calling Song Xuan "brother" all the time, but after he finished calling, he found that Song Xuan seemed not to see him. He was holding a book in his hand and reading leisurely, and ignored him at all.

"Brother Song, something terrible has happened. How come you still have the interest to read?"

Song Xuan then glanced at him and said, "Half an incense stick of time!"

Luo Changan was stunned. "What do you mean by half an incense stick?"

"There's still half an incense stick of time before I get off work!" Song Xuan glanced at the sky and said calmly, "Say what you want to say as soon as possible. If you delay me from getting off work, the consequences will be serious!"

The smile on Luo Changan's face faded a little. "Brother Song, I heard that you taught all the thousand households under you a lesson today?"

Song Xuan nodded and continued reading.

Luo Changan sighed, "Brother Song, we are all colleagues. Aren't you going too far by burying him in the ground?

What would the adults above think if they knew about this?"

"Let them think whatever they want!" Song Xuan said indifferently, "If anyone has any worries, they can come to me directly. I will make him understand clearly!"

Putting down the book in his hand, Song Xuan stared at him and said calmly: "When my sister was here, I wanted to teach her to be reasonable, to know right from wrong, to be harmonious when encountering problems, and not to rely on killing people to solve problems.

But now that she's not here, I'm too lazy to hide some things anymore, and I don't want to play along with you here."

Luo Changan's expression stiffened, and the smile on his face had disappeared. "Brother Song, what do you mean?"

“The meaning is very simple!”

He slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "From today on, I have the final say in this Southwest Province. If you know what's good for you and behave yourself, I can spare your life."

If you don't know what's good for you and can't understand the situation, then I don't mind burying one more person in the ground!"

"you!"

Luo Changan was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he had just heard.

He had been an official in the Imperial City Bureau for many years and had seen many cases of sarcastic instigation and behind-the-scenes plotting, but this was the first time he had encountered someone like Song Xuan, a deputy who had no scruples about threatening the principal!

"Song Xuan, I heard about the way you taught those Qian Hu a lesson today. If nothing unexpected happens, you should have broken through and become a powerful person in the Fusion Realm!"

Luo Changan's voice also turned a bit colder, "I know that you think you are very strong, perhaps even stronger than me, so you dare to be so arrogant and unscrupulous!

But, let me tell you, this is the Dao Song court, the Imperial City Office, and the officialdom!

Officialdom has its own rules. It's a taboo for an adjutant to threaten the chief officer. Even if you have the Mingyue Supervisor protecting you, if I report you, you will be punished!"

Song Xuan laughed, "It seems that you still don't understand the situation!"

Before Luo Changan could speak again, Song Xuan's palm had already pinched his neck, and the pressure from the martial arts master suppressed him so that he could not move at all.

At this moment, as long as Song Xuan exerted a little force with his palm, he could take off the head of this Lord Wanhu.

But he did not kill him directly. Instead, he grabbed Luo Changan's neck and threw him out of the yamen.

Afterwards, he slowly walked out of the room in the stunned eyes of several secretaries.

"It's time to get off work. Except for those on duty, go back and rest early!"

"Ah? Oh! Okay, sir, you should get some rest too!"

Several civilian secretaries watched in panic as Lord Song walked out of the room, kicked Luo Changan away again, then slowly disappeared outside the yamen with his hands behind his back, humming a tune.

Several people looked at each other, bewildered.

Especially the female secretary who likes to read official stories, her worldview has collapsed a bit.

"Isn't it said that in the officialdom, fighting is important but not breaking?"

"Don't you have to smile even though you want to kill the other person in your heart?"

"Isn't it said that those in power should be magnanimous and maintain unity and the dignity of those in power?"

"But this is completely different from my understanding of officialdom struggles!"

The other people also blinked, feeling that there was a serious deviation in their world views. At this moment, they finally understood what the real official struggle was!

False struggles in officialdom: smiling on the surface, secretly collecting evidence, making all kinds of frame-ups, and paying attention to the completeness of human and material evidence to make it impossible for the opponent to make a comeback!

The real struggle in officialdom: pinching your neck, throwing you upside down, kicking you like a dog eating shit, it won’t kill you, but it will make you sick to death!

At this moment, the female secretary had some understanding.

The struggle in officialdom is not about treating people to a meal or writing articles, it is a fight to the death.

Not only will they attack you physically and mentally openly, but they will also use various means to deal with you secretly. There is no such thing as a high-sounding struggle. The ultimate goal of everything is to kill the opponent!

She took a deep breath and whispered, "I have a feeling that one of our Lord and Lord Wan Hu will be gone soon!"

...

After kicking Luo Changan away, Song Xuan returned to his manor residence.

As soon as she returned, she saw Song Qian fiddling with a crimson alchemy furnace in the yard. Seeing her brother coming back, she casually said, "On my way back, I passed by the government office and saw you beating up Luo Changan. Since you did it, why didn't you just kill him?"

Song Xuan lay on the bench and said, "He came to my office and many people saw him. If I kill him there, I will have to kill people to silence him later.

It's such a small matter, there's no need to involve innocent people.

Besides, this guy has his identity after all, and he was probably using the identity compass to record the image at that time. If I kill him, I won’t be able to stay in the Imperial City System afterwards.

It's just a matter of delaying his death by a few days. These two days won't make a difference."

As he spoke, he took out the communication jade slip and sent a message to the Black Mountain Old Demon who was secretly visiting various places in Southwest Province.

"Help me check if there are any secret realms that are about to be opened recently. Preferably one with a higher level, where even the death of a cultivator in the Fusion Realm is normal!"

Chapter 688: This blow of mine represents eighty years of skill!

News soon came from Montenegro.

"Sir, although there are many secret realms in Southwest Province, there are only a few high-level secret realms. Secret realms that can pose a danger to powerful people in the fusion realm are mostly occupied by powerful people.

When these secret realms will be opened depends on the owner of the secret realm!

According to my recent investigation, unless a new secret realm appears in the near future, there is no information about the opening of a higher secret realm."

"Got it, keep exploring!"

After ending the conversation, Song Xuan began to search for information about the secret realm on the identity compass.

Soon, a series of information was read by Song Xuan.

According to the records of the Identity Compass, the so-called secret realm of the Daosong Dynasty and even the entire Wanling Continent is not a simple immortal mountain cave, but a relatively independent new world.

The World of All Spirits is formed by the fusion of countless worlds, but during the fusion process, many continents and starry skies will be partially separated and not fully integrated into the World of All Spirits.

And those separated continents and starry skies were divided into countless parts and distributed in unknown dimensional spaces.

Secret worlds come in different sizes. The smaller ones, like the Southwest Chamber of Commerce secret world that Song Xuan had visited before, are only ten thousand miles in radius and can only be used as the chamber of commerce headquarters.

Some larger secret worlds not only have complete main continents, but also the universe and starry sky, a complete cultivation system, and many powerful beings in the state of Hedao.

Even some top-level secret worlds, although they cannot be compared with the World of Ten Thousand Spirits, can become existences comparable to Mahayana monsters if they are cultivated to the extreme, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Every time a high-level secret realm is opened, the imperial dynasty, including the Imperial City Bureau, major sects, and various cultivation families, will send people to explore. If one is lucky enough to gain control of the secret realm, it would be a great blessing.

Of course, the mortality rate when exploring high-level secret realms is very high, and even powerful people in the fusion realm are in danger of falling. It is normal for someone to die in there!

Song Xuan pondered for a moment.

Killing Luo Changan is very simple, but if Lord Song wants to continue to work in the Imperial City System, or even reach the highest position of commander, Luo Changan must die in a reasonable way. At least, he cannot die in the state capital.

The provincial capital, state capital, and domain capital, these large cities within the dynasty, are the key monitoring areas of the national artifact, the Fortune Compass. Song Xuan is not going to take action in the city unless it is absolutely necessary.

In the yard, Song Qian was adding herbs to the alchemy furnace. Seeing her brother frowning slightly, she immediately asked, "Brother, is there no suitable opportunity?"

Song Xuan nodded, "There is no news about the opening of the advanced secret realm for the time being. Let's wait and see. At least, we have to wait until Luo Changan leaves the city before we take action!"

Victoria Song said, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll make the elixir first!"

Song Erni is a person who cannot sit still. When she is bored, if she is asked to stay at home all the time, she will be anxious to death.

But she is also a very focused person. When she has a new hobby, she can devote herself to it wholeheartedly and will not feel bored even if she studies it for ten or twenty years.

Now she is extremely interested in alchemy, and she is not even as eager as before to crush Luo Changan with one hand.

Song Xuan smiled. That was true. There was no rush. The thing he had the most right now was time.
