Chapter 1,376 Taking Office
"They are not very strong."
Wan Defu felt even more strange.
Xu Guoqing brought two people with low cultivation, and he could arrive in Loulan City so quickly.
Let's not talk about whether Xuanyuan Ce sent people to attack Xu Guoqing, and it is not the sandstorm period now. Even if there is no external factor, Xu Guoqing can't come so quickly.
And it is even more difficult to protect these two people with low strength. How did he get here?
Wan Defu couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to ask.
"Are you the director of the city?"
Xu Guoqing asked.
"Yes, yes, Lord Xu, I am the director of Loulan City." Wan Defu said hurriedly.
This person is a ninth-level warrior. Wan Defu can't afford to offend him. If he angers him, he will be finished.
"Are there only these people in your Loulan City?"
Xu Guoqing said, looking at Wan Defu and the three guards next to him.
Wan Defu's face froze, and he turned to look at the fat guard and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to call everyone over? Where are they?"
The fat guard hesitated and said, "Director, didn't you say that Loulan City doesn't need so many guards? Just take turns to rest. Don't worry about big things, don't worry about small things, just turn a blind eye and live a good life..."
"When did I say such a thing! Don't you want to do it anymore? If you don't want to do it, get out. Now the city gate is open, get out!" Wan Defu said angrily.
The fat guard looked at Wan Defu nervously. Wan Defu kept saying such words every day, and he also told the people below in the same way, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of Loulan City Director.
After so many years in Loulan City, Wan Defu realized a truth, that is, inaction is the best way to govern.
So, over the years, the city lord has been replaced by batches, but Wan Defu has always been the director.
Under the order passed down from top to bottom, all the staff of Loulan City had an attitude of taking advantage of the situation, which also led to a very bad atmosphere in Loulan City.
Of course, it is worth being happy that China has been allocating funds to Loulan City. The wages of people in Loulan City have never been reduced, and there are also many frontier subsidies.
Of course, the prices in Loulan City are also very high, mainly because there are no local industries here. Everything needs to be transported from distant cities, and the prices are naturally high.
Wan Defu wanted to say something, but saw Xu Guoqing waving his hand: "Forget it, let's leave it like this for now, you take me for a walk in Loulan City."
"Okay, okay, please come this way, Lord Xu."
Wan Defu hurriedly walked in front and said.
"Lord Xu, wait a moment, I will go and arrange the task with the guards." After Wan Defu finished speaking, he walked towards the fat guard on the side.
"Director, I..."
The fat guard felt that Wan Defu was going to punish him, and he was very nervous.
However, Wan Defu did not blame the fat guard. After all, Loulan City should be managed in this way. He believed that Xu Guoqing would understand it later.
"Go and inform Hu Mazi immediately, and ask him to take his people to hide first, and say that Xu Guoqing is here." Wan Defu said.
"Oh, good! I'll do it right away!"
The fat guard naturally knew who Hu Mazi was in Wan Defu's mouth. This man was the leader of the largest local bandit, the Dahan Gang. Even Wan Defu, as a director, had to be courteous to Hu Mazi.
This time there was a sandstorm outside, and Hu Mazi naturally stayed in Loulan City.
Although he said he was staying, Hu Mazi was rampant in Loulan City, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. The people in Loulan City were miserable, but the official power of Loulan City could not deal with Hu Mazi at all, and it was Wan Defu who let Hu Mazi in.
So, Hu Mazi became the one who had the final say in the city.
In Wan Defu's opinion, if Xu Guoqing had just arrived and ran into Hu Mazi, this matter would be difficult to handle. After all, a new official would have three fires when he took office. If Hu Mazi really burned, the result would be hard to say.
Although Xu Guoqing was a ninth-level warrior, Qiang Youlong could not defeat the local snake. Once Xu Guoqing ran into Hu Mazi, the most embarrassing thing was that he played Wan Defu.
"You must spread my words and say that Xu Guoqing is here. This is a ninth-level warrior! Do you understand?" Wan Defu asked.
"Yes! I understand."
The fat guard nodded immediately.
Then, Wan Defu took Xu Guoqing along the road of Loulan City.
Wan Defu deliberately took Xu Guoqing to a place that Hu Mazi did not often go.
However, it was precisely because Hu Mazi did not come often, that is, the poorest place in Loulan City, that Xu Guoqing became more and more frightened.
He knew that Loulan City was very bad, but he did not expect it to be so bad. The scene along the way can be said to be shocking to Xu Guoqing.
The people here have almost reached the point of exchanging their own children for food.
"Director Wan, is this the Loulan City you manage?" Xu Guoqing asked with a gloomy face.
The people in power in Loulan City are basically Wan Defu.
Wan Defu naturally felt Xu Guoqing's dissatisfaction. His heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Xu Guoqing to be so serious.
When he was thinking about how to defend himself, a bearded man riding a tall horse appeared in front of Xu Guoqing and others with a group of people.
"Hu Mazi!"
When Wan Defu saw the big man riding a tall horse, he secretly said in his heart, "Whatever you fear will come true. I had to bite the bullet and lead Xu Guoqing to this side, but I didn't expect to run into Hu Mazi.
However, the worse is still to come.
A panting fat man ran out from behind Hu Mazi. This man was the fat guard at the city gate before.
"Boss, boss, don't walk around. What are you doing in this slum? Find a place to hide quickly. The director said that the city lord Xu is here!"
The fat guard shouted while running.
"Shut up!"
Wan Defu's face was dark. Why did he find such a stupid subordinate?
"Ah! Director! This is really not my fault. It was Boss Hu who insisted on going this way." The fat guard said with his head shrunk.
"You..."
Wan Defu wanted to say something, but saw Hu Mazi, who was riding a tall horse, waved his hand and said.
"Director Wan, this is your dishonesty. We have a new city lord coming to Loulan City, but you didn't even inform me so that I could go and welcome our new city lord!"
"Who is this?"
Xu Guoqing turned his head and looked at Wan Defu and asked.
"Lord, just call me Hu Mazi. I'm just an unknown person." Although he said so, Hu Mazi had no intention of getting off the horse. Instead, he looked down at Xu Guoqing with a whip in his hand.
"Hu Mazi?"
Xu Guoqing frowned.
For some indescribable reasons, the name of the Human Emperor was required to be changed. From now on, the Human Emperor will be called Xuanyuan Ce. The Special Events Handling Department was also required to be changed. Later, it will be uniformly called the Abnormal Events Handling Department. Readers who see the latter please pay attention. Sorry!
