This start is really difficult!
In the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion, Wang Chen flipped through the thick files, and the feeling of being trapped became even stronger.
Daying City is divided into eight Heavenly Master Pavilion, with the eight pole numbers of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui. Wang Chen takes over the Xun number among them.
Although it is a branch unit under the jurisdiction of General Celestial Master Prefecture, Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion is quite large in scale. It not only occupies a large mansion with three front and rear entrances, but also has a nine-story tower and employs hundreds of guards and servants.
Wang Chen put the files on the case table aside, looked at the female cultivator standing aside with interest, and said, "Steward Xi, I am new here and I know nothing about Daying City's situation. I will have to trouble you to help you in the future."
This female cultivator has a plump figure, mature temperament, and quite gorgeous appearance. However, the butterfly-like spots at the corners of her eyes somewhat ruin her delicate makeup, but it also gives people a strange feeling.
Xi Manyun, Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion Deacon.
Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion has a total of twelve deacons, and Xi Manyun is just one of them.
But she was the only one among the twelve deacons who came to see Wang Chen after Wang Chen took office.
This is very unusual.
Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion is responsible for the management of Xun District, which is divided into Seven Districts and Thirty-Nine Streets, with a total of more than 50,000 households.
Based on a household of five people, there are nearly 300,000 people under its jurisdiction!
Wang Chen Previous Life's hometown county does not have so many permanent residents.
As Protector Heavenly Master, his status is equivalent to the highest chief executive of Xun District, and his power is very great.
The life and death of an idle person can be decided with a single word!
Now that the new official Wang Chen has taken office, only one of his subordinate officials comes to ask for instructions.
Wang Chen also worked as Protector Heavenly Master before, and I know very well that there is a big problem here!
Xi Manyun lowered his head and replied, "Serving the Heavenly Master is the duty of a lower cultivator."
Wang Chen's eyes flashed, he patted the file in his hand and asked, "Where are the other deacons? Where have they gone?"
He smiled, "You don't know that I took office today, do you?"
Ximan pursed his lips and said cautiously, "Celestial Master's Mansion Steward Wu summoned them all."
The highest status among Sub-Protector Heavenly Master Prefecture is Protector Heavenly Master, and there are twelve deacons below to manage different affairs.
There are also positions of principal and deputy principal.
The person in charge is Protector Heavenly Master's deputy, who assumes temporary supervisory duties when Celestial Master's Mansion is away.
It is also an important bridge for communication between Protector Heavenly Master and the following.
The deputy director is selected from the twelve deacons to serve part-time to assist the director in his work.
Under normal circumstances, the chief takes orders from Protector Heavenly Master and is responsible for supervising the twelve deacons. He is considered the second-in-command of the Heavenly Master Pavilion.
However, this subordinate of Wang Chen not only did not show up on the day when his new official took office, but instead summoned all the deacons to make it clear that he would not give Wang Chen face.
To be honest, this is contempt and disdain for Wang Chen!
To be honest, Wang Chen really didn't expect that the other party would be so arrogant and even bothered to do superficial things.
No wonder the predecessor Protector Heavenly Master looked like he was out of trouble. Could it be that he was evaded by the chief executive and the deacons?
Wang Chen's thoughts were spinning, but he remained calm on the surface. "Steward Xi, then Steward Wu didn't call you?"
Xi Manyun hesitated for a moment and replied, "No."
Does that mean there is a conflict or grudge?
Wang Chen raised his eyebrows. "Steward Xi, can you tell me about this Steward Wu?"
Xi Manyun felt even more hesitant.
She and Steward Wu have never been the same person, so they have been ostracized by each other and their colleagues.
The predecessor, Protector Heavenly Master, could not suppress the boss. He had done nothing in the past three years, making it impossible for her to take refuge.
This replacement of Protector Heavenly Master is undoubtedly an opportunity for Xi Manyun.
If she doesn't do something, I'm afraid she will no longer have a place in the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion.
But after seeing Wang Chen, Xi Manyun was very disappointed.
Because Wang Chen is too young.
Moreover, Wang Chen came to take office alone, without any accompanying personnel. At first glance, it was obvious that Aristocratic Clan did not come from a wealthy family.
Even if you come from a small family, there are always a few followers around you.
Wang Chen is most likely Rogue Cultivator to join the sect!
A baseless Rogue Cultivator came from the West Sea Sect mountain gate to a Daying City hundreds of thousands of miles away. How could he fight with these local snakes like Steward Wu?
Xi Manyun feels very pessimistic.
She took the initiative to visit Wang Chen, just doing her duty as a deacon.
And what Wang Chen is showing now is that he clearly wants to have a fight with Steward Wu.
It's understandable that the other party is young and energetic, but Xi Manyun doesn't want to get involved.
Because she felt like she had no chance of winning.
Wang Chen waited for a moment, and when Xi Manyun didn't speak, he asked again in a deep voice, "Isn't it hard to tell?"
For some reason, Xi Manyun's mind started to heat up and he said, "There's nothing hard to say. Since the Heavenly Master wants to know, I can tell you everything I want to know!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xi Manyun felt a little regretful.
But she also didn't want to go back on her word.
Anyway, the situation she faced couldn't be worse. The most she could do was lose her position as a deacon.
Wang Chen smiled, "Sit down and talk."
He personally poured a glass of Spiritual Tea for Xi Manyun.
"Thank you, Heavenly Master."
After Xi Manyun sat down and calmed down, she organized her thoughts and told Wang Chen the current internal situation of the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion.
The authority of the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion is nominally owned by Protector Heavenly Master.
But in fact, in the past few years, the person who really holds the power is the chief executive Wu Jingwei!
Wu Jingwei is certainly not an ordinary person. He is also the elder of the Great Ying Wu Family. He has the cultivation level of Purple Mansion third layer. It is said that he is about to break through to the intermediate level.
Because he is a local monk of Great Ying, he has the support of the entire cultivator Lineage behind him, and he is powerful, so the deacon below only listens to Wu Jingwei's greetings.
The predecessor Protector Heavenly Master's order could not even come out of the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion!
In addition, many gangs and societies that occupy Seven Districts and Thirty-Nine Streets are also very respectful to Wu Jingwei.
The most important thing is that Wu Family has always supported Grand Protector Heavenly Master Luo Han, and the relationship with the latter is quite good.
With a backer above and a foundation below, how could the lonely Sub-Protector Heavenly Master overthrow him?
It is completely reasonable to be ignored.
Previous Celestial Master also tried to seize power, but failed miserably, so he simply lay back and became a salted fish.
In addition, the five hundred patrols commanded by the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion are basically controlled by Wu Jingwei.
There are many Wu Family disciples inside!
The reason why Xi Manyun is not the same as Wu Jingwei is because the relationship between the Xi Family and Wu Family is very poor.
It was impossible for her to seek refuge with the other party.
If Grand Protector Heavenly Master Luo Han had not suppressed Xi Family for the purpose of checks and balances, otherwise Xi Manyun would have long lost his position as the deacon of the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion.
Wang Chen was speechless after listening to it.
Damn, this Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion is named Wu!
