After all, Kyoto is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the public security is quite good, so the people live and work in peace and contentment, but there is nothing to do to fight a lawsuit, which also makes the officials and lords in the county government in Kyoto unusually comfortable.

When Liu Yan arrived at the official mansion, the person was already on the verge of collapse, the hair was no longer neat, a few strands of broken hair were also properly stuck to the forehead with sweat, her cheeks were rosy, and her lips were chapped, as if she was going to suffer from heat stroke, but since she had arrived in front of the official mansion, Liu Yan had no time to rest, so she took a wooden stick and beat the big drum, and the drum shook the sky, so the drum was beaten less often, and the drum was much higher and longer than the ordinary drum sound.

There was no movement after knocking for half a sound, Liu Yan wanted to give up, it was noon at the moment, and ordinary people were taking a lunch break, not to mention the county masters, but since they had already come, they could only continue with their heads, and beat the drum again, but this time, there was obviously no sound, but the vermilion gate creaked open a gap, and a person dressed as an official poked his head out inside, and yawned: "What's the matter!" Dislike! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yan hurriedly walked to the door crookedly, and said weakly: "I want to report to the official!" ”

I don't know if Liu Yan's appearance is too weak and sad, or what is the deep meaning of the word "report to the official", in short, after listening to Liu Yan's words, the official who was still confused before suddenly became energetic, looking at Liu Yan, his eyes actually emitted a hot light, and his voice also trembled with a hint...... You wait, right away, right away! ”

As soon as the vermilion gate was closed, Liu Yan fell to the ground, her dry lips exuded unbearable heat, and she exhaled slightly, all of which were warm, and she gently put her hand on the door, wanting to tell the official that she would not report to the official today, could she give her a bowl of water first, who knows, just put her hand on the door, and the door opened, and then saw two columns of officials standing neatly on both sides of the road, the official uniform was neat and majestic, and he shouted with full of energy: "Might--Wu!" Might--Might! ”

Liu Yan was obviously frightened by this battle, and was a little confused, but when she wanted to get up, she saw that the open space behind her was instantly surrounded by energetic people, and there was a person holding a gong and drum shouting, "Come on, someone has reported to the official, come on, there is no store in this village!" ”

After finishing speaking, I saw that many sleepy-eyed people poured out of the houses and shops, all of whom rushed to gather outside the mansion, but in a short way, the people who were sleepy-eyed before were all energetic when they saw Liu Yan sitting in front of the official mansion, and the light in their eyes was exactly the same as that of the previous official.

Liu Yan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and suddenly regretted a little, how did she forget this, Kyoto is very safe, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are even more comfortable and idle on weekdays, so they are very keen on gossip and excitement, and now they have knocked on the drum in front of the yamen in broad daylight, which naturally attracts the people to come to see the excitement, as for the officials, they must be too idle.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan also felt helpless, so she had to get up and enter the hall of the government office, the county lord is an old man who has read more than half a hundred but is very energetic, his body is quite thin, and his cheeks are a little collapsed, quite like an honest official, the huge official robe looks very discordant and out of tune on his body, and the county lord has already been excited to try when he sees Liu Yan coming.

even forgot that Liu Yan didn't kneel, so she asked directly: "If the people in the hall have any grievances, just say it to the official, and the official will definitely be the master for you." ”

Liu Yan looked up at the county master, didn't dare to collide with his overly excited eyes, and didn't dare to look at the two columns of officials standing in the lobby, swallowed her saliva, and said with some reluctance: "In the next, I want to ask the county master for a bowl of water first." ”

Hearing this, the hall was instantly quiet, and even the people who were watching outside the government were stunned, at this time, there was a few clear chuckles behind the county lord, and the county lord reacted, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare, as if unintentionally glanced back at the back, and then controlled his emotions and sat firmly on the chair.

That chuckle did not enter Liu Yan's ears, all her thoughts at the moment were on a bowl of clear water presented by the official, seeing that the clear water arrived in front of her, Liu Yan was still calm, and arched her hand at the county magistrate: "Then thank the county magistrate first." After that, he snatched the big bowl and began to drink, the slightest sweetness in his mouth, washing the throat that had been hot for a long time was also refreshing, Liu Yan drank urgently, and the splashed water droplets were sprinkled on his clothes and cheeks, but where did Liu Yan have time to pay attention, at the moment they were all intoxicated with the sweetness of the clear water.

A bowl of underwater belly, although Liu Yan still looked a little embarrassed, when the spirit was a lot recovered, handed the big bowl back to the official, and said to the county master: "I can't hide it, I came here this time, but I want to share the worries of the county master." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Seeing Liuyan's appearance of drinking water, the county magistrate only thought he was a mighty man, and now he saw that he was straight to the point, and he also asked himself one by one, and he became more and more happy, although he did not have any grievances, but he had something, this is the most important thing.

"When I first arrived in Kyoto, I heard that there was a ghost house in the downtown that everyone feared, and the county magistrate was troubled for a long time, but there was nothing to be done, and it is still vacant, but there is such a thing?" Hearing this, not only the officials and gentlemen in the lobby, but also the people on the periphery of the government couldn't help but gasp, over the years, the rumors of the ghost house have become more and more fierce, but no one has dared to really ask about it for many years, or set foot there, and now Liu Yan proposed, which is surprising and exciting at the same time, after all, this is another big gossip.

The people were very excited, and the officials were also very excited, so the county magistrate responded repeatedly: "That's right, but there is such a thing?" It's just that? "The county master didn't dare to say too much, after all, the rumors were too terrifying, and he didn't want to bear the charge of sending the people innocent to death.

Seeing that the county magistrate said this, Liu Yan gently tugged at the corners of her mouth and chuckled: "This is the best, it is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the men of the family are all disciples of Maoshan for generations, and they are very good at subduing demons and monsters, so they remove the ghosts before asking for it, and the downtown party is clean." Liu Yan began to talk nonsense again, and there was no need to make a draft at all, but everyone was stunned, only a chuckle came from behind the county master, but this time, it was heard by Liu Yan, some doubts, some familiar, but I couldn't think of who it was.
