Chapter 389: Progress? I want to make progress so much!
"County Magistrate Wei, isn't it a matter of justice to slay demons and monsters?"

Tang Anzhi asked back, "Or did County Magistrate Wei make you believe the lies of Yu Baihu?"

"Mr. Tang, you are right. Killing demons and eliminating evil is a just thing to do!"

Having said that, Wei Yuan paused and looked at Tang Anzhi, not disguising the sarcasm in his eyes.

in case.

Not only did he know Tang Anzhi, but he had also been friends with him for many years, otherwise he would not have spent a high price to invite Tang Anzhi to his house as a servant.

He didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in what Tang Anzhi said about slaying demons and eliminating monsters.

If Tang Anzhi was really as righteous as he claimed, he would not have watched Hu Hui occupy Lion Ridge for hundreds of years.

During the period when Tang Anzhi served as the Immortal Official of Qingyang County, it cannot be said that there were often monsters causing trouble, but it is inevitable that every three to five years, there would be two or three times or even more monsters harming humans.

It cannot be said that Tang Anzhi failed to solve any of them, but there were still many monsters that Tang Anzhi deliberately spared.

In addition to the fact that these monsters have extraordinary backgrounds and are difficult to provoke, it is also because Tang Anzhi accepted bribes from these monsters.

As for those who had no background and could not afford to bribe Tang Anzhi, unless they were extremely powerful, otherwise, if they dared to harm the people of Daxia in Qingyang County, all of their actions would be attributed to Tang Anzhi.

For such a jerk, it is still unknown what Hu Jiushisan's intention is in following the Wang family, and whether he wants to harm the Wang family. However, Tang Anzhi seems to have become a different person. He wants to kill Hu Jiushisan under the pretext of slaying demons and monsters, completely ignoring the fact that there is the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan behind Hu Jiushisan.

It's like he's become a different person.

If Yu Die hadn't reminded him, he couldn't help but wonder if Tang Anzhi was possessed by some demon or monster, otherwise how could he do such an "outrageous" thing!
"County Magistrate Wei, since you know that slaying demons and eliminating evil is a just thing, why do you have to say anything more?"

Tang Anzhi snorted in dissatisfaction, knowing that Wei Yuan was very familiar with him. It was impossible to fool Wei Yuan with just these few words. However, this was in public after all, so he said righteously:

"I am a retired person who has long ceased to work in the court, but I still have such a sense of justice. County Magistrate Wei, you are an official appointed by the court, don't you have a sense of justice?
Moreover, this monster is harming the people of Qingyang County. As the chief official of Qingyang County, don’t you care about the lives of the people in your territory? "

"Would I not care about the lives of the people in my own territory?"

Wei Yuan almost laughed out of anger.

The life and death of the people in the territory...well, he doesn't really care, unless this person has a background, or it's related to his promotion and salary increase. Otherwise, if they are ordinary people, as long as they don't cause too much trouble, they will die. Anyway, there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 people in Qingyang County.

What does the death of one or two civilians matter?
What made him angry was that a guy like Tang Anzhi had the nerve to say such righteous words in front of him.

"County Magistrate Wei, I have to remind you that your Qingyang County has now produced a scholar who has won the imperial examination. I'm afraid that the officials in the capital will pay special attention to every blade of grass and every tree in your Qingyang County. If people knew that there was a monster causing trouble in your Qingyang County, it would harm the scholar's family..."

Tang Anzhi said righteously. "Bullshit!"

Wei Yuan was so angry that he cursed loudly. Although Tang Anzhi did not say the rest of the words, how could he not know what Tang Anzhi meant by his unspoken words?
Seeing that Tang Anzhi was so shameless as to make trouble for him, how could he not be angry? Before he could finish his words, he saw Tang Anzhi winking at him secretly.

next moment.

Wei Yuan suddenly had an idea and said apologetically, "I was confused. Thank you for reminding me, Tang Gongsheng. Now there is a monster that dares to cause trouble in Qingyang County, and it harms the family of the third place winner. If I don't show some resistance, how can I be an official in Qingyang County in the future?"

Only then did he realize that the real purpose of Hu Jiusan following the Wang family was very important.
No.

Not important at all!
Even if Hu Jiusan did not lie, and his purpose in following the Wang family was to protect them and to make the newborn child of the Wang family the son-in-law of their Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan, he should still regard Hu Jiusan's following of the Wang family as an attempt to endanger their lives.

Only in this way could he kill Hu Jiushisan and use this as an excuse to develop a relationship with Wang Ruhai.

Kill the good and take credit!
He understands this.

"County Magistrate Wei, you, you, don't talk nonsense. I followed the Wang family to protect their lives, not to harm them!"

Hu Jiushisan's face changed drastically. He was already frightened by Tang Anzhi's sudden attack, and he didn't expect Wei Yuan to say that. If Wei Yuan really regarded him as a monster who wanted to harm the Wang family, he would be dead. He hurriedly said:
"County Magistrate Wei, I am from the Nine-Headed Mountain Fox Clan. I swear on the Nine-Headed Mountain Fox Clan - no, on the honor of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, that I followed the Wang family to protect them, not to harm them, and I am following the orders of our clan leader. If you dare to kill innocent people and take credit for your achievements, we, the Nine-Headed Mountain Fox Clan, will not let you go!"

But it knew clearly that human officials like Wei Yuan were the most insidious and cunning. It had heard of killing innocent people and claiming credit for their achievements before, but it never thought that it would happen to it now.

it.

Very panicked!

But it was not frightened yet. After all, it was from the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan. If Wei Yuan really dared to kill it and take credit for it, the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan would avenge it. It was acting on the orders of their clan leader.

Tang Anzhi looked at Wei Yuan's hesitation and cursed him as a waste. However, if he wanted to deal with Hu Jiusan, get credit, and have a chance to contact Wang Ruhai, he still had to rely on Wei Yuan. He reminded him:
"County Magistrate Wei, don't you want to make progress?"

Wei Yuan.

As a son of an aristocratic family, he passed the imperial examination at a young age, and became the magistrate of Qingyang County in his forties or fifties. He could barely be considered a "young and promising man".

However, if he wants to move to the next level, unless he has made great contributions, it will take at least another 10 to 20 years of hard work on his part. This is because he has the support of a noble family, otherwise it would be the same for any other county magistrate.

I'm afraid it's very likely that he will spend the rest of his life as a county magistrate!
Who made him come from the Wei family, but he was only born into the side branch, and there were so many direct descendants waiting for the Wei family's resource supply, so where would the extra resources be to help him improve?
now.

There was an opportunity in front of him, which was to kill Hu Jiushisan. By virtue of the merit of protecting Wang Ruhai's family, he could curry favor with Wang Ruhai. By virtue of the relationship between Wang Ruhai and the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would be enough for him to move to a higher level. Even if he did not make progress on the spot, he could shorten his efforts by several years or even more than ten years.
