I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

Until then.

After making meritorious service, Wu Xiucai returned to Shannan Road and was promoted several times, and was appreciated by Governor Wang - his status was not just that of a Wu Xiucai.

It is not a loss for him to marry a daughter.

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

soon.

Three or four martial arts masters expressed their willingness to obey the government's arrangements and join Wu Yunlou as undercover agents.

At this time, Wei Tu looked at the martial arts master "Fu Zhizhou" who had taken the lead in rejecting the offer. After seeing that he was not moved, he put down his worries.

Reward a hundred gold.

Marry the prefect's legitimate daughter...

The two additional rewards added by Governor He still couldn't move Wei Tu's heart.

He still remembered the warning he gave himself when he was practicing martial arts at the Shan family.

——You can gain fame and improve your status through martial arts, but you must remember to avoid fighting and save your life.

He has a great future, and there is no need to fight to the death over trivial matters.

now.

The reward from the government office.

Although it is heavy in Wei Tu's eyes, it would be unwise to waste one's life for this.

Wei Tu knew all the dozens of martial arts masters who entered the hall. These people were all famous people who had participated in the Taoist martial arts competitions.

Fu Zhizhou, in particular, is a popular candidate to win the martial arts championship today.

Wei Tu saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked to Fu Zhizhou, poked the martial artist's elbow using Wei Fei's method before, and asked: "Martial Master Fu, do you still insist on the idea just now? Wei Mou also the same……"

He Zhifu has increased the reward. If any martial artist refuses this task no matter how ignorant he is...

The consequences can be imagined.

This offended the parents of the government and the Marquis of Qianli.

Therefore, if Wei Tu wanted to refuse this matter, he would have to find a few people to join forces with him to put pressure on him and reduce He Zhifu's hatred towards him.

Fu Zhizhou's reaction was somewhat similar to Wei Tu's. Seeing the unfamiliar person acting like this, he frowned slightly.

However, after hearing what Wei Tu said, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed a little, and his eyes towards Wei Tu became a little more friendly.

"Fu and Martial Master Wei have the same idea and reject this matter."

"On the one hand, more than a dozen people conspired together. The risk is too great. Even you and I are of clean origin and have a bright future. Our relatives are in the same place and we dare not leak the secret... But there is still a risk..."

"Both, Fu is not interested in rewards."

"Three of them, Governor He... only has one year left in his tenure as an official in Qingfeng Mansion."

Fu Zhizhou thought for a moment, then pulled Wei Tu to the corner of the hall and lowered his voice.

"Wei and Brother Fu think alike." Seeing that Fu Zhizhou shared his thoughts without hesitation, Wei Tu changed his title to Fu Zhizhou and called him "Brother Fu."

Hearing Wei Tu call him "Brother Fu", Fu Zhizhou also had a faint smile on his face, so he also changed his title and called Wei Tu "Brother Wei".

The two called each other brothers.

At this time, the two of them joined forces to reject Magistrate He and resist the pressure together, becoming equivalent to comrades in the trenches.

Again.

The two have the same fame.

They are all martial arts scholars from Jinke.

There is already a sense of friendship from the same age.

"You and I can bring in a few more people, and it's best to get four or five people together," Fu Zhizhou said.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu nodded and did not refuse.

The more people refuse, the less danger and pressure he and Fu Zhizhou will encounter.

"Martial Master Wei..." Wei Tu glanced at the audience and saw that Wei Fei was one of the few martial arts masters who did not come to the side of He Zhifu, so he walked to Wei Fei and told him what he had discussed with Fu Zhizhou. come out.

"good."

"Plus me."

Wei Fei didn't hesitate too much and nodded directly in agreement.

Lean less.

Fu Zhizhou also pulled a friend from the same county and walked in the direction of Wei Tu and Wei Fei.

This martial artist's name is "Kou Liang", and he is also a powerful figure in Jinke's martial arts examination.

"Four people are equivalent to one-third of the martial arts masters present."

Wei Tu's eyes moved slightly, gaining the confidence to reject Magistrate He.

The fame lies behind him.

(It is difficult for the government to interfere with the results of the Taoist examination.)

Even if He Zhifu hated him, it would be difficult for him to do anything to these martial arts scholars. At most, he would use his hands and feet to send them to remote places when they were serving as military attachés.

And this is nothing compared to the danger of going to Wuyun Tower.

"The four of us will be hated if we reject Magistrate He together..."

"After we leave the government office, we will become brothers together."

"Whoever is in trouble then, let's help together!"

Fu Zhizhou, as the martial artist who had taken the lead in rejecting Magistrate He, and who had the best performance in martial arts examinations, naturally became the leader among the four.

Fu Zhizhou glanced around Wei Tu and the others, with a solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice.

"good!"

"After we get out, we will become brothers together!"

Wei Tu and others were also moved after hearing this. After thinking for a while, they all nodded.

People of the same age, same hometown, and same family are the easiest people to form cliques for selfish purposes.

At this moment, the four of them each have friends from the same county, and they are all Jinkewu scholars... Facing Magistrate He, it is perfectly normal for them to "form cliques for personal gain".

…

Government office.

The living room of the back house.

"Martial men value profit, and the ancients will not deceive me." After taking a look at the martial arts masters gathered around him, He Zhifu showed a faint smile on his lips, secretly thinking that the situation was complete.

As long as one person is tempted to agree, the others will follow suit one by one. This is the experience he has accumulated from being an official for many years.

As for the one or two thorns, if he later lures them to gain advantage and threatens them with words, they will obey his orders obediently.

However--

Just when Zhifu He was feeling satisfied, he saw four martial arts masters walking over with their heads held high, saluting him with fists in their hands, and saying something that made him very unhappy.

"Zhifu He, the four of us are naturally clumsy and unsuitable to go undercover in Wuyun Building. Please ask Zhifu He to agree to this matter."

Wei Tu and four people said.

moment.

The whole hall was silent.

The eyes of everyone in the hall, from Governor He, from the martial arts masters, and from the rest of the servants and maids, all focused on Wei Tu and the other four...

Except for the astonishment of Zhifu He, everyone else's eyes were also filled with surprise and a little disbelief.

Zhifu He's face darkened slightly, and he looked coldly at Wei Tu and the other four people in the hall.

Let’s just say one person refused.

When training sheep, there will always be one animal that runs around and is disobedient.

Not to mention people.

but--

The four people spoke together and spoke in unison, which made a difference.

As soon as you hear it, it’s already connected in advance!

"The ancients have a saying, if the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose their integrity; if their ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity..."

"Your Majesty, the magistrate has gathered martial arts masters like us here. A dozen people are too many. If there is a risk of... something leaking out..."

"Please forgive me for dying. Please forgive me for not obeying my fate."

Fu Zhizhou took the lead and spoke.

"Fu Zhizhou?" He Zhifu obviously knew Fu Zhizhou. He looked at Fu Zhizhou carefully for a few times. Although he did not speak, everyone present felt his anger.

The official power is as high as a mountain!

More than a dozen martial arts masters discussed this matter together. Didn't he know that there was a risk of leaking secrets?

But by doing this, he would not make a "mistake" in this matter.

In the future, if the operation fails or the secret is leaked, the other Wu scholars who came here will be picked up, and it will not be related to him as the prefect.

At most, he is lax in his work.

one year later.

He left office and was transferred abroad.

Who cares about the mess in Wuyun Tower. ,

PS: There is foreshadowing in writing the plot...

Here in He Zhifu, some readers said that there is a high risk of leaking secrets by more than a dozen people. I can only say... you don't know how to be an official. Does He Zhifu want to find out the information about Wuyun Tower? He was giving an explanation to Governor Wang and indicating that he had done something.

A dozen or so people are planning the plan. These dozen or so people are innocent and they are all reserve military attachés. The risk of leaking secrets is small. Even if the undercover agent fails in the future, they can find reasons to evade here.

This is the shrewdness of officials.
