I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Chen Yuanzhi, who looked dissatisfied, couldn't resist his father, so he had to take the appointment letter and report to the county government office. Someone above him had already dealt with him, so it was easy for him to become an official. He was not a serious official, but just a small leader among Xiangyong.

At the beginning, Chen Yuanzhi was very cautious. He rushed to report every morning and stayed until the last one at night, even staying in the military camp. After a few days, he discovered that the local heroes in the county were already rotten. There were only three people in a team of ten who actually showed up, and the remaining seven were all on free wages.

They eat from the top and fish from the bottom, and in the middle there are wealthy gentry and rich families who share a hand with each other.

The Chen family was one of the people with vested interests. After realizing this, Chen Yuanzhi suddenly relaxed his mentality and became an old man in an instant. He called his usual brothers to the barracks to play cards and drink, and sometimes he even brought women back with him. Sleeping, making the barracks a mess.

"Brother Chen, a girl came to Yingchunfang today. I heard she is an official lady."

In the barracks, Chen Yuanzhi was having wine with a few friends, and the Wang brothers were also there. When they were young, they blew up his wife's pit together, and when they grew up, they often fooled around together. Both of them had good family conditions, and they had good boxing skills. They became kings and hegemons in Bishui County. Gangs in the city would bow their heads and shout "Uncle" twice when they saw the two of them, and any dog ​​that passed by would be slapped twice if it disobeyed them.

Not only did the two brothers not feel embarrassed in such a life of being a naughty gangster, they also felt that they had more face. They felt that this was enough to be a man.

"Miss Guanjia?"

Chen Yuanzhi immediately became energetic upon hearing this.

He had been to places like brothels with his brothers for a long time. It was a bit fresh at the beginning, but it became boring after a long time. The women in the brothel are used to the world, and their brothers have no self-esteem there.

But the official lady is different. Not to mention her noble birth, she is also very clean.

"Let's go! We'll spend the night at Yingchunfang tonight."

Grabbing the saber, Chen Yuanzhi led a group of friends out of the barracks. The person on duty at the door was an old man with most of his teeth missing. He was sitting on the edge of a pillar and dozing off. He didn't even ask Chen Yuanzhi and others who had free access. He was just a decoration.

On the streets, vendors are busy.

There are candy sellers, candied haws sellers, and jugglers.

Chen Yuanzhi and others opened their clothes, revealing their strong muscles underneath. They held the knife across their waists and drove while walking. Wherever the group went, they would get out of the way, a typical bully style.

Fortunately, they did not bully ordinary people. They walked all the way to Yingchunfang. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the old bustard coming out to greet them.

"Oh, aren't these Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang? I haven't seen you here for a long time. Where did you get rich recently?"

"Mother Kong, my brothers are here specifically to see Miss Cuiping today."

Wang Dacai took out a bag of money from his arms and shouted that he wanted Miss Cuiping to come and drink with him.

"Miss Cuiping has already been ordered by someone, how about I ask Luluo and the others to accompany you?" The madam didn't dare to accept the money, but just said with a smile.

Bang!

Chen Yuanzhi was a little impatient and slapped the table next to him.

"What a mess of noble people, tell them to get out of here."

"Get out of here! Don't ask me who is the boss in Bishui County."

When the brothers next to him saw this, they immediately began to boo, shouting words such as "The boss is majestic". When Chen Yuanzhi heard this, he was filled with joy and felt that he was already at the top and was a real man!

"Dacai, go call someone, and I'll beat anyone who dares to block the way."

"yes!"

Wang Dacai's face was full of joy, he called a few brothers and went to grab people. The madam next to him turned pale with fright, and kept apologizing, hoping that they would show their favor.

But Chen Yuanzhi had no intention of listening to their nonsense. Wang Dacai led his men to the second floor and kicked open the door.

"Who are you? Who let you in?!"

"I am your grandfather!"

Wang Dacai went up, carrying the thin bamboo pole that he was about to take off his pants, and slapped him with his bow from left to right.

"Don't take a piss to look at yourself. How dare you steal a woman from me?"

"you you you"

The man who was beaten was furious, but soon Chen Yuanzhi came up with a group of brothers.

After a group of thugs got together, they didn't say anything nonsense, they caught the person and beat him up, and then threw the person out like garbage.

"Then play music, then dance."

Chen Yuanzhi, who enjoyed the admiration of all the brothers, took out the silver from his arms and threw it on the ground, shouting to the frightened musicians and dancers next to him. A group of people occupied the private room at the highest point of Yingchunfang, drinking and listening to music. Although they also pay, with their group here, other people would not dare to come over and spend money.

The old bustard had a sad look on his face.

A night of silence.

Chen Yuanzhi's vanity was greatly satisfied. In the next few months, he no longer settled in the military camp and began to lead his brothers out to "act chivalrously and righteously." Because of his generous spending, a group of people quickly gathered around him. Everyone in Bishui County who was involved in the gangs knew the name "Boss Chen".

Fortunately, although Chen Yuanzhi likes to make trouble, he does not bully civilians. This aspect is very different from Chen Luo's speculation.

His vanity did not affect his true nature.

"Boss Chen, how dare you show off in front of ordinary people like us! You are really capable, go north and kill the Huns!"

"What do the Huns have to be afraid of?! If they dare to come, I will kill them all and tell them who has the final say in Bishui County!"

Chen Yuanzhi stepped on a man with a sinister eyebrow and shouted loudly.

County government.

Chen Luo and Magistrate Tan were playing chess in the backyard.

During this period, he sent a lot of money to the county government, all because of Chen Yuanzhi's affairs.

"It's too risky to buy a military attaché position with so much money."

Magistrate Tan paused and said something.

The two families are related by marriage, and a sister of the Chen family is the wife of Magistrate Tan. After all, Chen Luo is also the brother-in-law of County Magistrate Tan. It is precisely because of this relationship that the two get along so harmoniously, and they dare to discuss the matter of selling one's official position and title openly.

"Yuan Zhi can't study, so he can only take this path."

"The current situation is unstable and it is too dangerous to be a military attaché."

Magistrate Tan is a serious imperial examination official. He has many connections in the court and knows many changes in the country.

The news coming out of his mouth is definitely not false.

"I just want him to know something so that he won't be bullied in the future when I'm gone."

Chen Luo sighed, as if he was really an ordinary old father.

"There have been peace talks over the past few years, but how can the barbarians understand etiquette? To them, a piece of covenant is just straw paper and can be torn up at any time."

When it comes to state affairs, Magistrate Tan is also a little annoyed.

Bishui County is located to the north, and Bishui County will definitely not be able to defend it in a real fight. At that time, he will have no choice but to lose his official position and run away.

There is no hope of winning.

The adults above are already discussing the matter of moving south, and retreat will only be a matter of time.

"Let's talk about it when that day comes."

Chen Luo didn't talk about this topic. He had been observing Magistrate Tan these days. He felt a hint of familiarity from the other party, it was the aura of the 'inner demon'. The role played by Chen Luo in Elder Rong Ling's inner demon calamity last time was played by Magistrate Tan this time.

The inner demon will gradually seduce the "tribulation-rider" to deviate from his original intention and slide into the abyss of desire.

As long as the original intention is lost, then this time the 'tribulation energy' will be regarded as a failure to overcome the tribulation.

"We are all a family, and it is impossible for me to watch Yuan Zhi die."

Magistrate Tan sighed, scattered the chess pieces, and was too lazy to play. Chen Luo took advantage of the situation and got up, said goodbye and returned home.

At home, the three ladies are still busy with their children.

In addition to his eldest son Chen Yuanzhi, he also has two daughters. These two daughters are very obedient and behave very mediocrely. They are also afraid of Chen Luo on weekdays and most of the time they take a detour.

"Jie has also appeared. What is the inner demon?"

Chen Luo sat in the yard, thinking about the relationship between this 'Inner Demon Tribulation' and 'Inner Demon'.

When Elder Rong Ling was going through the tribulation, his inner demon was 'fame and wealth', and his goal as an inner demon was to induce him to be greedy for fame and fortune. This time, the person who overcame the tribulation was his son Chen Yuanzhi, and the inner demon was Magistrate Tan. It's just that it's really difficult to connect the two.

If it was 'vanity', Magistrate Tan should have already started to promote Chen Yuanzhi. How could he discuss with him that he had no future as a military attaché like today.

The inner demon only needs to lead people into disaster, and they will never worry about how they live during the disaster. Not all people who inspire desire can reach high places, and some become useless at the bottom.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye it was another three years.

In three years, Chen Yuanzhi relied on the support of his family to successfully get promoted. His number of brothers also expanded to a hundred. He traveled with a large number of people every day, which was quite impressive.

"I've only been around for a few days, and I've been promoted again."

"It's good to have money at home. If you can't study, you can still buy an official position."

"I just hope that Mr. Chen will not harm us people in the future."

Some people can't see it and talk behind their backs.

But Chen Yuanzhi didn't take these words seriously.

The country is unstable.

There was unrest on the border, and along with the cold weather, there was a coup within the nomads in the north. The new Great Khan took office and was gearing up to go south. The covenant signed in the past was torn up by them, just as Magistrate Tan expected.

Bishui County is located in the north. As soon as the news came out, there was turmoil in the county, and many people were watching.

It's winter now, it's freezing outside, and there's no way to survive if you run away hastily. After the winter of this era, there are dangers and harsh environments everywhere, roaming bandits and hungry wild beasts. Just anything can kill someone. No one will choose to leave their hometown unless they have to.

The days passed.

Many wealthy families went to the county government office to ask Magistrate Tan about the war in the north, hoping that the north could withstand the frontal offensive of the Huns. As long as they could survive the winter, they would move their families as soon as the next spring.

It's just that Magistrate Tan himself has no idea. It's inconvenient to transmit news after winter. The latest message he received was from half a month ago. The message was sent by his mentor. It said that the war situation in the north was worrying, which made him worried. Be prepared early.

"Sir, there are more and more bandits outside. I'm afraid there are enemy spies inside."

One of the staff warned.

Magistrate Tan suddenly woke up. Even if he wanted to escape, he had to leave enough people behind. It's best to find enough scapegoats. As long as there are more of them, the Huns' attention will naturally be drawn away, and then he can calmly move south. (End of chapter)
