Chapter 1042: Welcoming Magistrate Sun into the City
Sun Shan sat quietly for a while. At this moment, the City God Temple was brightly lit, and the old Taoist priest was waiting with his disciples.
Although the old Taoist priest has only two disciples, his aura shows that he has a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers behind him, standing straight and solemnly.
It was already the hour of Mao, and there were sounds of footsteps coming from outside.
Sun Shan was sitting with his legs crossed, waiting leisurely, when he suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from outside and immediately jumped up from his chair.
As a personal servant and maid, Gui Ge'er immediately stepped forward to help Sun Shan tidy up his clothes again, especially his hat, which had to be straightened to show Shan's uprightness and handsomeness.
The old Taoist priest walked in from outside and bowed, "Sir, the county magistrate has led a group of people waiting in front of the gate."
Sun Shan gestured with his hand, nodded and said, "I understand. I will come out right away."
During these three days, Sun Shan stayed in the vegetarian room and did not speak to anyone in the City God Temple.
The Taoist priest is given the image of being upright, respectful of rules and old-fashioned.
However, when he thought of the corpses in the charity cemetery, the Taoist priest no longer dared to think so.
I feel that the Magistrate Sun in front of me is unfathomable.
Now that his colleagues and the people had arrived, Sun Shan naturally had to leave.
It was still dark at the hour of Mao in early spring, and the dim light made everything look hazy.
Fortunately, the lights were on in the City God Temple, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to see what my subordinates looked like.
Sun Shan, wearing an official uniform, an official hat, and black sandals, strode forward.
The guards from Sunjia Village followed behind him, making the new official Sun Shan look outnumbered and powerful, giving his colleagues a sense of oppression.
Sun Shan walked forward step by step.
The City God Temple is very close to the main gate, yet very far away. It took Sun Shan more than twenty years to be able to walk out of here.
Some people may never be able to get out of here in their entire life.
When I walked to the gate, I saw a group of people lined up in several neat and orderly queues.
Sun Shan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the huge crowd, feeling a little nervous and a little excited.
It was still dark, and I thought that apart from the government officials, a small number of prominent figures in the city and some temporarily arranged extras would arrive.
But as soon as I walked out, I was surrounded by crowds of people.
Emma, there are too many people here.
There are so many gossipy and nosy people. It's really hard for them to get up so early just to eat melons.
Sun Shan was startled, but he didn't show it.
The first compulsory lesson for being an official is to “remain calm in the face of difficulties.”
No matter what incredible things happen, you must remain calm and fearless.
Sun Shan walked in front and stopped in front of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate immediately led the officials and the masses to shout, "Welcome to the parent official of Yuanlu County, welcome to Magistrate Sun."
Sun Shan waved his hand, made a very cool and arrogant gesture, and shouted, "Excuse me, everyone."
Sun Shan took a stealthy look at the county magistrate. From the information he got from Dean Chen, he knew that the county magistrate's surname was Wang.
That's right, it's Wang again. Hearing this surname, he must be from the Wang family.
No wonder he is the number one boss in Yuanlu County. Apart from the county magistrate, the next highest position is also from their Wang family.
Sun Shan got a headache whenever he thought of the Wang family.
Although he saved Wang Jijun unintentionally, Wang Jijun was just an insignificant character. In the Wang family, it was good to have him, and although it was sad to have him missing, it was still acceptable.
He is not a talent that the Wang family focuses on training, and he cannot be the head of the family.
In the future, if interests are involved, even if there is a person like Wang Jijun, it will not affect the life-and-death fight between Sun Shan and the Wang family.
Of course, Sun Shan hopes for a win-win situation, rather than a lose-lose situation or just a loss for himself.
When Sun Shan was looking at County Magistrate Wang, County Magistrate Wang was also looking at Sun Shan quietly.
Just as my nephew said, this County Magistrate Sun was short, thin and frail, looking malnourished.
If the nephew had not solemnly assured that Magistrate Sun was a ruthless man, the Wang family might have been deceived by Magistrate Sun's appearance.
My nephew said that Magistrate Sun remained calm in the face of danger, handled things calmly, killed people without blinking an eye, and was a truly ruthless person.
It was unexpected that he had such courage and experience at the age of 24. County Magistrate Wang felt that his immediate superior was not easy to deal with.
Of course, County Magistrate Wang also hoped to get along well with the newly appointed County Magistrate Sun and did not want to fight with him to the point of bloodshed.
Sun Shan doesn't want to lose, and the Wang family doesn't want to lose either, so it's best for them to cooperate.
County Magistrate Wang stepped forward and said, "Please follow us into the city, Mr. Magistrate."
The officials in the back row shouted in unison: "Please, magistrate, follow us into the city!"
The crowd looked at the huge group of officials in front of them from afar, but they couldn't see where Magistrate Sun was.
Citizen A asked: "Have you seen our heroic magistrate? Why can't I see him? Oh, my eyes are useless. I can't see anything before dawn."
Citizen B also looked around and stared straight ahead. Who was their Magistrate Sun? Why couldn't he see him?
I could only see the back of County Magistrate Wang in front of me and had no idea where County Magistrate Sun was.
He whispered angrily, "Why is County Magistrate Wang blocking my view? What's so good about him? I've been looking at him for more than ten years. If I want to look at him, I should look at the tall and mighty County Magistrate."
In the minds of the fanatical common people, Sun Shan has always been an image of a man with a strong waist, thick arms and a powerful presence.
In order to see my idol earlier today, I got up before dawn and waited at the city gate.
As soon as County Magistrate Wang went out, he followed immediately, just to see County Magistrate Sun as soon as possible.
At this moment, after looking for a long time, I could no longer see the appearance of Magistrate Sun.
Citizen C asked anxiously, "Has our magistrate come out yet? Why can't we see him?"
Commoner Ding also said nervously: "That's right, why can't we see it? Where is the county magistrate who is suppressing the bandits?"
Although Commoner Wu loves to eat melons, he is considered a rational eater among the crowd of melon eaters.
He said comfortingly, "Don't worry, wait until the magistrate gets on his horse, and we'll see him. There are so many people blocking the way ahead, so we can't see him normally. Don't worry, the magistrate has already arrived in Yuanlu, and we'll see him sooner or later."
Citizens A, B, C, and D looked at Citizen E with disdain: Everyone knows that sooner or later they will meet the magistrate.
No, they want to see it earlier. Getting up early in the morning must be worthy of their "efforts".
Sun Shan knew that the crowd came to see him, but he didn't know they would be so anxious.
After exchanging a few polite words with Magistrate Wang, Gui Ge'er brought the horse up and Sun Shan mounted it in one swift motion.
In order to have such a heroic moment, Sun Shan practiced riding a bull from Sunjia Village, then a horse from Hejia Village, and finally practiced hundreds of rounds secretly last night. God paid off, and he finally rode a horse magnificently and handsomely.
County Magistrate Wang stared at Sun Shan's horse with wide eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This horse, this horse actually belongs to their Wang family!
