    Two days passed by in a flash, and while the entire Zaitian Mansion was anxiously waiting, the new magistrate finally arrived.  The Kingdom of Heaven is so vast that even taking the fastest cloud ship from Shangjing to Zaitian Mansion would take ten days. The new magistrate had actually already set out on the road before the eunuch responsible for announcing the edict set out.  I just officially arrived today.  Before the new magistrate arrived, various rumors spread throughout Zaitian Mansion. Some people said that the new magistrate was once a disciple of the Yinglong Sect, and Zaitian Mansion might fall into the hands of the Yinglong Sect in the future.  ?Some people say that the new magistrate is actually a member of the royal family, who came to stand in front of the emperor to serve as his emperor.  Others say that the new magistrate is actually a frustrated official. He came here to do a big job and is not necessarily worse off than before.  But Zi Baifeng felt that the first two were unreliable. If he said that he was a disciple of the Yinglong Sect, the Heavenly Kingdom's intention to protect the Yinglong Sect was really an exaggeration. If there really were disciples of the Yinglong Sect.  I am afraid that in less than ten days, Zaitian Mansion will really become a dead city. Although Zaitian Mansion is located in a remote area and sparsely populated, it is still a state with a vast territory. How can the Yinglong Sect be able to make the heaven rise?  The country sacrifices itself to feed tigers?  Although Gao Shanan lost to the Yinglong Sect in the court, it was only a ministerial-level contest at best.  And if it is said that it is to stand in front of the emperor's chariot, others don't know it, but Zi Baifeng knows that a Traveling Immortal Lord has already gone to Yinglong Sect to take care of everything. When the emperor comes, he will naturally not stop at Zaitian Mansion and directly  Enter Yinglong Sect.  It's really not necessary to send someone again.  Since it is not necessary, the possibility is not very high.  As for whether they are frustrated officials, in fact, most officials are frustrated. They feel that their efforts have not been rewarded, and they all expect to get more.  In fact, Zi Baifeng knew it, and others naturally knew it. In the past two days, not to mention ordinary officials, even Dayou Xianjun, Elder Pingqi and others were discussing the topic of the new governor of the state during their chats.  When the new magistrate actually arrived, everyone¡¯s glasses fell to the ground.  Although Zi Baifeng is just a landscape master, his rank is not low, he is in the sixth rank.  When many officials from Zaitian Mansion went to greet him, Zi Baifeng was also pulled over and stood in an inconspicuous position in the queue. They were in the back row, in a remote position, surrounded by various idlers.  Zi Baifeng counted carefully and found that there were about a dozen officials who were even worse than him. He had to sigh with emotion that there are people in the sky, and there are people outside the world. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? To?not?stand as straight as the officials in front of them, they were all whispering to each other, discussing what kind of person they would be if they trusted Zhizhou.  Although Zi Baifeng did not participate, he listened with open ears. When he heard what they said was interesting, he couldn't help but smile. These people can really think.  But when the Yunjian arrived and Zhizhi Zhizhou stepped down from the Yunjian step by step, everyone was dumbfounded.  The person who walked down first was wearing a red robe and was a third-rank official.  He is not tall, with his hair tied up in a bun and hidden in a hat. His face is white and beardless, and he looks a little thin.  But when Zi Baifeng took a closer look, she turned out to be a female official!  The Celestial Kingdom is a men¡¯s world, but the strictness of education and security is not as strict as what Zi Baifeng knew in the previous life. The biggest difference is that women can also participate in the imperial examinations. For example, Chi Yanzi disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examinations.  This time, the proportion of women in college was about one percent. Zi Baifeng also saw Chi Yanzi chatting with several female candidates.  But although there are female officials, they are rarely in high positions.  Most female officials are concentrated in idle positions and are in charge of less important tasks.  ??Actually, let alone now, even in previous lives, women still had more invisible ceilings than men.  "It's this lord!" The person next to Zi Baifeng was shocked. "Life is not easy." "Is this lord famous?" After all, Zi Baifeng came to Tianfu for a short time and had never been in contact with the Celestial Dynasty before.  officialdom.  "Of course, this lady's surname is Hong, and her name is Hong Qinying. She is one of the most powerful female officials in the court. It is said that she is very close to many royal princesses and concubines. There are very few people in the court.  You are willing to go against him, otherwise you will definitely kneel on the washboard when you return home." The man said, "Some people say that this gentleman is ruthless and straightforward in his work. He has done several important things and is very strict with his subordinates.  Everything is extremely serious, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor. Some people say that he is favored by the emperor" Before the man finished speaking, Hong Qinying suddenly turned his eyes and looked over.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­Not to mention what she practiced before entering the officialdom, after entering the officialdom, she has more "literary" skills and an official reputation.  Judging from the reputation of Lord Hong Qinying, this official reputation is no longer ordinary. His official reputation is just like obsession. Uncle Qingshi is remembered so much that he can become the "God of Bluestone". Benma Shi is also obsessed with obsession.  Transformed into a galloping horse, a stone statue in a small ancestral hall can also transform into a heavenly soldier. So what about the obsession of the people in a place?  So what?  Therefore, the cultivation level of this Lord Hong Qinying is actually very high, and he can naturally hear the whispers below. At this time, with a glance, the talkative official stood there as if struck by lightning.  Although he didn¡¯t say much, Zi Baifeng heard it, and it implied that she was having an affair with the emperor. Female officials are afraid that such rumors are inevitable around them.  Zi Baifeng patted the man's shoulder and shed a tear of sympathy, but his eyes happened to meet Hong Qinying's.  Hong Qinying glared at him fiercely, Zi Baifeng smiled slightly and said nothing more.  That nonchalant attitude made Hong Qinying quite unhappy.  Even the most basic sense of superiority and inferiority was lacking. Hong Qinying already had a prejudice against Zi Baifeng, and now she felt even more unhappy.  Zi Baifeng certainly didn't think so. He, Wu Yunhou, Gao Shan'an and others were all very casual. How could this new magistrate be treated with respect?  Hong Qinying's cultivation was naturally high to the official, but to him, it was nothing. He had seen countless masters.  As for Hong Qinying, the magistrate of Zaitianzhou, it is hard to say whether he can sit firmly.  Just this morning, Zi Baifeng felt that Yinglong Sect¡¯s spirit gathering formation had been restarted.  The first thing that Hong Qinying will do after taking office is that he will inevitably have to deal with the Yinglong Sect. This is a natural result of the "literary" need for "official reputation". As long as Hong Qinying does not want to destroy his future, he will  We must seek the welfare of the people of Zaitianfu.  Zi Baifeng felt that this feeling was like the elections in Western countries in the previous life. The official voice was like a vote. The more votes, the stronger the power. However, this mechanism, which operates automatically and provides direct feedback, is much more advanced than Western elections.  .  This world is more advanced than previous lives in some aspects.  On the other hand, if the magistrate of Zaitian Prefecture wants to secure his position, he must rely on Zi Baifeng.  Because the reason why the entire Zaitian Mansion is still standing here and has not turned into a dead city is all thanks to Zi Baifeng. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off The 19th Clan  After Hong Qinying, several more people came down. It seemed that Hong Qinying did not take office alone. Zi Baifeng wanted to ask who those people were, but everyone around him was silenced by Hong Qinying's glance just now.  , remained silent, no one dared to speak anymore.  Zi Baifeng could only frown and look carefully. Judging from the color of his clothes, one of them was a doctor from the Ministry of Industry of China, surnamed Dong, and the other two or three people were brought here by Hong Qinying.  Attachment, perhaps her right-hand subordinate.  The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and one of the officials said in Hong Qinying's ear: "Sir, the one behind is Zi Buyu, and the one standing in front is Wen Huaichu, the new lord of Changliu City." Zi Baifeng  Mr. He and Mr. Wen had such keen ears that they had already heard clearly. The two looked at each other at the same time, and then looked at each other subconsciously.  It seems that Lord Hong is also paying special attention to them. Both of them have some doubts in their hearts. Why should they pay attention to them?  After welcoming him, the leading figures in Zaitian Mansion, headed by Marquis Wu Yun, had already set up a banquet in his Marquis Mansion to welcome Lord Hong.  In fact, this kind of thing should have been done by Gao Shanan. After the two handed over to each other, Lord Hong would host a banquet to see Gao Shanan off. However, in the rush of the two of them, there was no handover.  With this kind of banquet, Zi Baifeng naturally had nothing to do, and everyone dispersed on their own.  Mr. Wen was among those invited. Before he left, he cast a meaningful look at Zi Baifeng. Both of them understood what the other party was thinking. The person who came was not good and they should be cautious. ?¡­ ?In the Tianfu Yamen, Mr. Hong was sitting in the study, looking at a stack of reports in his hand.  Except for the plaque on the outside of this study, everything else has erased the shadow of Gao Shanan, as if he had never lived here.  The original thick Eight Immortals table has now turned into a long case painted dark red, filled with various documents.  When I first arrived, Master Hong had many things to get familiar with.  "Wen Huaichu, Zi Baifeng."The two stacks of information in her hands were both extremely thick, especially Zi Baifeng's stack, which was half a palm thick and densely written in small regular script.  Naturally, these information could not have been prepared just today. Apparently, the investigation of Zi Baifeng and others had already begun before Lord Hong arrived.  Opposite Mr. Hong sat two people. One of them was the doctor from the Ministry of Industry that Zi Baifeng had seen before. The other was also a woman. She looked older than Mr. Hong and was dressed in the same men's clothing.  She is Lord Hong's capable subordinate and will serve as Lord of Zaitianfu.  And the predecessor, Lord Zaitianfu, has also been removed from his post and used for other purposes.  "Yijun, Xintian, what do you two think?" These two people, the male is Dong Xintian and the female is Pu Yijun, they are both Lord Hong's confidants.  Dong Xintian didn't speak. He just shook his head slightly. He never spoke much. Lord Hong turned to look at Pu Yijun again.  Pu Yijun said: "Sir, in my opinion, Mr. Wen is of noble birth, has a profound background, is upright, and what he does is reasonable. But this man is silent, behaves erratically, and has a long-standing grudge with the Yinglong Sect. Gao Shanan  The reason why your Excellency hates the Yinglong Sect so much and would rather destroy his own future than to fight against the Yinglong Sect is that he must have been bewitched by this man. As the sages say, be close to a gentleman and far away from a villain. Mr. Wen is a great talent and will achieve great things in the future.  Limit, this man is silent. Although he is talented and learned, he is still too narrow-minded. Staying with him will be a disaster after all. " A person who is far away from others and a gentleman close to him has already explained Pu Yijun's attitude.  Dong Xintian put down the information in his hand and said: "The land needed to build the spirit gathering array is now in his hands." "Just take it back." Lord Hong said lightly.  Dong Xintian nodded and didn¡¯t say much.  "Shanshui Lang" Hong Qinying flicked the piece of paper in her hand and frowned slightly. What she hated most in her life was others gossiping behind her back. Her rise to the top was entirely the result of her own efforts, because as a  As a woman, she was subject to all sorts of suspicions, which made her very unhappy.  Although Zi Baifeng didn't say anything this morning, she already had a grudge in her heart and had a bad impression.  As soon as she arrived, the Yinglong Sect had already reopened the spirit gathering formation. This blatant action put great psychological pressure on her. Before she came, she had already issued a military order, and she would never let Zaitian Mansion.  One person died due to lack of spiritual energy.  Above the court, the Yinglong Sect had clearly promised not to activate the Spirit Gathering Formation again, but now it broke its promise.  There is only a little more than a month until the official start of the Nianxian Conference. I think the current Yinglong Sect is not completely ready yet.  At this time, of course you have to submit a letter to Beijing, but if you submit the letter again and again, it may take several days. Even if you submit the letter, what will happen?  The Yinglong Sect had already risked everything for the Nianxian Conference. Could it be that just one word from her could stop the Yinglong Sect?  It¡¯s just a matter of wrangling each other. As long as the Noodle Fairy Conference officially starts, in the end it¡¯s just a matter of 30 defeats each.  Yinglong Sect saw it very clearly.  But for her, or for her career, it is not good news.  She doesn¡¯t want Gao Shanan to be a lesson to her.  Fortunately, Dong Xintian arrived. This Dong Xintian is one of the best formation experts in the Ministry of Industry, and their trip brought with them the jade money specially allocated by the Celestial Kingdom for Zaitian Mansion, which was enough to give several people in Zaitian Prefecture.  A huge spirit gathering array was built in the city and supported for operation for a year. When the Immortal Meeting was over and the Immortal Returning Ceremony was over, the Yinglong Sect would naturally stop gathering spiritual energy.  The hardest part is just this period of time.  Thinking of this, Hong Qinying felt a little more at ease.  The first thing is to quickly take back the land and let Dong Xintian gather the spirit gathering formation.  Hong Qinying leaned back on the chair and rubbed her eyes with her hands. This was the first time she had truly become the governor of a place, the first time she was on her own, and she was no longer someone else's second-in-command. She had to do her best in everything.  She believes that she can do her best, but she must not be careless at all and must give her 100% effort.  In one month and seven days, the Noodle Fairy Convention will be held.  There is still one month left, and the Yunjian heading to Beijing will pass by Zaitian Mansion and head to Yinglong Sect.  There are still seven days left before Yinglong Sect will officially begin to accept monks from all walks of life into Yinglong Sect.  And just five hours ago, Yinglong Sect had just restarted the spirit gathering formation.  Based on the distance between Yinglong Sect and Zaitian Mansion, Yinglong Sect¡¯s spirit gathering formation will affect Zaitian Mansion within one day.  The first day she came to Zaitian Mansion was so busy. Even today when she was attending the reception banquet, she feltNo relaxation at all.  Time is so tight.  "Here comes someone!" Hong Qinying said suddenly.  "Sir!" A personal voice came from outside.  "My lords, in half an hour we will discuss the construction of the Spirit Gathering Array." Building a huge Spirit Gathering Array requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and requires coordination from all aspects.  "Yes, sir!" He followed the order and left.  Although it was said to be half an hour, everyone had gathered in less than half an hour. I believe that on the first day of Zhizhou's arrival, everyone would dare to be careless.  "Two deputy magistrates of Zaitian Prefecture, four chiefs of Zaitian Prefecture, Bo, and supervisors of the Sixth Division, gathered together.  "The top priority is to build a spirit gathering array to prevent Yinglong Sect's spirit gathering array from impacting us." Hong Qinying said.  "Sir!" A lieutenant was full of doubts, "Isn't the construction of Juling Dajibuyuzi already completed?" "Let Dr. Dong explain this matter." Hong Qinying signaled to Dong Xintian.  "I have already investigated. Zi Buyu did not build a complete spirit gathering formation, but only built a few shapeless formations." Dong Xintian stood up and said, "Now that Zaitian Mansion can still stand here, it is completely  Because the Yinglong Sect's spirit gathering formation collapsed, it had little to do with Zi Buyu, and all the formations he had built before had to be torn down and started over. " What Zi Baifeng relied on was not the formations he built.  Those formations are just used to deceive others. For ordinary people, they can be deceived, but for formation masters like Dong Xintian, it is completely different.  So Dong Xintian said it very seriously.  "This gentleman is silent. He is just a person who is seeking fame and reputation. He takes all the credit on himself. It is really a shame for us." Dong Xintian said. He is a master of formations and believes in his own judgment. But for Zibai  Feng's behavior is deeply disgusting.  Everyone showed doubts. When Zi Baifeng built the formation, they saw the vision with their own eyes. How could the bursts of spring thunder and the feeling of being filled with spiritual energy be fake?  The spiritual energy in the entire Zaitian Mansion is so abundant now, so how could it be a fraud?  Naturally, they don't know that Hong Qinying has been living in Shangjing and has long been accustomed to the extra abundant spiritual energy. She takes Zaitian Mansion's abundant spiritual energy for granted. Dong Xintian was already filled with indignation when he saw Zi Baifeng's so-called formation.  Nature has been deceived.  Someone wanted to refute something, but Hong Qinying was a Shangguan, and there were professionals to prove it. They all lacked confidence and could only look at each other, not knowing what to say. ????????????? Could it be that Master Zi is really a person who is just trying to gain fame and reputation, as they say?  ¡°But some time ago, the entire Zaitian Mansion had become difficult to operate, and in the end it was only Master Zi who could survive. This is the consensus of everyone.
