The county office.
“Student meets the teacher!”
Gan Yu, mixed among a group of scholars, bowed to the county magistrate, who wore a scarlet official robe.
Among the scholars with him, there were both children with dangling hair and youths like him, as well as middle-aged men and even the old with prematurely graying hair.
Enduring hardships for fame and officialdom is no empty talk!
This county magistrate’s last name was Xu, a jinshi by examination, with a face like fine jade and three strands of a long beard fluttering in the wind, appearing to be in his thirties or forties, with a majestic and stately appearance.
County Magistrate Xu had excelled in the imperial examination in earlier years, only to squander two years before being selected as an official for Qingxi County, taking on the post of principal clerk of the ninth rank. Three years later, he was promoted to chief clerical officer, followed by county police commander and county chief… Finally, he became the seventh rank county magistrate, enduring over a decade, truly a case of sweetness following hardship.
In the dense bureaucracy of the Taoist Court, such a rapid rise was definitely considered fast, with at least every step unobstructed, which sufficed to indicate there was a powerful support behind him.
“Cough cough…”
The complexion of County Magistrate Xu was somewhat pale as if he was under the weather, and at that moment, he raised his hand.
Gan Yu immediately felt a gentle force surge forward, lifting him up, and looking at this sickly looking County Magistrate Xu, he immediately felt a sense of awe in his heart.
“All of you are scholars full of learning, and this official is recruiting talent for the Taoist Court this time… Remember, you must be loyal above to the Taoist Court, and should you become officials in the future, be free from guilt towards the common people below…”
County Magistrate Xu offered a few words of admonition, seeing the expectant glances of certain people, he suddenly smiled, “Enough, seeing all of you so anxious, I shall personally bestow talismans upon you…”
As he spoke, the bailiffs around him bowed and exited one after another.
The hall seemed to be shrouded in the aura of incense, blurry and filled with a sense of mystery.
Gan Yu caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and suddenly felt that the appearance of County Magistrate Xu somewhat resembled the statue of the City God he had seen when he had gone to pray at the City God Temple. He quickly bowed his head to conceal the shock in his eyes…
“Rise!”
County Magistrate Xu did not talk much with the scholars and formed a hand seal with one hand.
