Volume 1 Temporaries of the Underworld

Chapter 46 There are ghosts in the county of the Husband Search

Fan Jinyan looked at the rammed earth city wall in front of him that was only more than three meters high in a daze, and he slept in the open for more than a month, and his buttocks were turned into eight pieces, just to get to this small county town called Song County as soon as possible.

Along the way, I felt that the Liang country was in a depression, and there were not a few dilapidated counties like Song County. There are also few people, except for a few large cities, the road is almost inaccessible, and large areas of farmland are uncultivated.

Without the introduction of a good girl, Fan Jinyan can guess that the main cause of population scarcity is because of war. Because at night, Fan Jinyan saw more ghosts than during the day, but fortunately, most of them were just ordinary wandering ghosts. Otherwise, don't think about it so peaceful.

Fan Jinyan shook his cranky head and led the horse and the good girl to the city.

"Stop! Pay the city tax. ”

As soon as the two approached the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like an official, while nibbling on chicken legs, raised three fingers with his oily hand and said to them: "Two people, one horse, three big money." ”

Fan Jinyan has been here for a month, so he naturally knows that a large amount of money can buy ten days of rations for ordinary farmers. This official obviously thinks that he is a foreigner and is easy to bully, so he smiled and said: "I'm afraid to give it to you, you don't dare to take it!" ”

"Yo! There is also money that my fifth master didn't dare to take. The man who called himself the fifth master threw the chicken leg in his hand, wiped his oily hands on his body, and said with a strange smile.

Fan Jinyan didn't talk nonsense, took out the bronze medal and threw it over. The other party stretched out his hand to take it, first disdainfully, and the next moment almost dropped the tiger tooth card to the ground.

Poof, Lao Wu knelt on the ground, raised his hands on the bronze medal, and begged with a sad face: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I hope the adults don't care about the villains, spare the little ones!" After speaking, he kowtowed, more sincere than when he worshiped his ancestors.

Fan Jinyan smiled and didn't embarrass him, took the bronze medal and led the horse into the city......

"Five-headed, who is that nobleman!" A young soldier guarding the door asked curiously.

After Lao Wu stood up and patted the dust on his knees, he snorted at Fan Jinyan's back and shouted at the young soldier: "Look at what you see, if you can't finish the tax money that the master has explained, none of us can please us." Someone will come in a while, and the tax will be increased by one layer...... No, add two layers. ”

The roads in the city are uneven, the houses on both sides of the road are also dilapidated, and the pedestrians on the road are also in a hurry, and there is no sense of the county at all.

Soon the two arrived at the county office, and the official at the door was not embarrassed, and after going to report, he quickly led them into the county office.

Sure enough, just like Fan Jinyan thought, the county government hall was also dilapidated, and the holes in the roof were covered by cobwebs, and no one repaired them. It's really not groundless to see the saying that the ancient officials didn't cultivate the government, but it's a bit too broken! Is it waiting for the fall of the Liang State and the replacement of the new dynasty to rebuild a county government? The more Fan Jinyan thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right.

Soon a shriveled monkey in a navy blue robe entered the hall, and after he sat down in the hall, he asked lazily, "Who is lying down?" What a complaint! Who is the defendant and who is the plaintiff? ”

Fan Jinyan stopped the good girl who wanted to kneel down and talk, and said to the county magistrate who was seated: "We are neither the plaintiff nor the defendant, we are not the defendants. ”

Bang! The county commander was shocked and shouted: "Presumptuous! You dare to tease the official, and you don't even kneel when you see the official, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall? ”

Fan Jinyan was still not afraid, sneered, and threw the tiger tooth card directly.

Bang! The bronze medal happened to fall on the table of the county official, which startled the shriveled monkey, but when he saw the word Liang Gong on the bronze medal, he hurriedly laughed and hugged his fist and said: "It turned out to be an adult from the palace, and the adult invited the Houya to get together." With that, he went down to the hall and asked Fan Jinyan to go to the back hall.

Fan Jinyan shook his head and said, "The adult is kind to the little brother, and there is indeed something important that needs the help of the adult this time." ”

The county magistrate saw that Fan was easy to speak, so he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, as long as the small county does it, there will be no two words." ”

Fan Jinyan didn't talk nonsense, and added fuel and vinegar to the matter of the good girl's ten-year search for a husband, and finally mentioned that the king was very concerned about this, intentionally or unintentionally.

"So, I came this time by will. I hope that the adults will find out the file from 12 years ago and find out the whereabouts of the good woman's husband back then. ”

When the county magistrate heard that he wanted to check the file from twelve years ago, he said with some embarrassment: "My lord, it has been more than ten years, and the small county doesn't know if it can be found now, so it can only do its best." ”

Fan Jinyan naturally knows that even the files of more than ten years of society are not easy to find, let alone the ancient times without the awareness of archives, and he now has the mentality of doing his best.

Soon, the county magistrate took the two of them to the book library and explained a few words to Menzi, and then said to Fan Jinyan: "My lord, the files of this county over the years are stored here, I asked the next person to look for them, how about we go to the back office to rest?" ”

Fan Jinyan knew that it would be a bit embarrassing to refuse again, so he nodded and agreed.

Soon, the food and drinks were served on the table, and although they were not as diverse as the flavors of later generations, they were also chic.

The county order was bent on flattering this adult from the palace, so he naturally persuaded both to drink and laugh, but Fan Jinyan was not good at this, so he just hummed and coped.

At this moment, the maid suddenly ran to the front hall in a hurry, and before she could speak, she was reprimanded by the county order: "Presumptuous, don't you understand the rules?" Don't you see any guests at home? ”

"Sir, no...... Oh no, young master...... Again...... Again...... Sick. The maid replied tremblingly.

When the county commander heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly said to Fan Jinyan: "Lord Fan, the small county dog is sick, this is ......"

Fan Jinyan is not an unsophisticated person, nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Regardless of whether the county order agrees or not, he asked the maid to lead the way.

Soon, as soon as they arrived, they heard a man yelling, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you," and the sound of clanging bells and throwing things.

"Animal, you don't stop." As soon as he arrived in the backyard house, the county magistrate saw that his son had thrown the porcelain furniture everywhere, and shouted in distress.

The madman was just throwing things, but when he heard this, he raised his hand and threw the vase in his hand.

The county magistrate knew that his son would throw a vase at him, so he forgot to hide for a while, and stood there motionless. If it weren't for Fan Jinyan's body being set to be an agile general, he would have kicked the vase away. It is estimated that the county magistrate is about to be opened by his precious son.

It wasn't until the moment when the young man turned around and threw the vase that Fan Jinyan realized that something was wrong, this son's face was pale, and he didn't look like he had such a strong force. Moreover, the atmosphere in this room is very heavy, and it happens to be completely dark. Fan Jinyan asked again and learned that this son's illness was at night, so it could almost be concluded that it was a ghost.
