The carriage drove to the yamen and slowly stopped, and Luoyang and the others got down from the carriage.

The chubby county magistrate hurriedly brought people to greet him.

"Xiaguan Fengming County Commander Liu Neng and all the colleagues of the county government greet the envoy."

A county has more than 20 counties under its jurisdiction, so officials from the county government can be regarded as having great authority in a small county.

What's more, this time I came to help solve the problem, so this county order is even more enthusiastic. After all, if the Fengmingshan incident is not resolved, it will be a stain on the official's career. If you want to be promoted in the future, it will be affected.

Luoyang smiled and said: "The county commander is polite, we are not some envoys." We're just running errands. ”

Liu Neng saw Luoyang taking the lead in speaking, and knew that he was the leader. Look at his long lips, red teeth, white teeth, handsome face, and a strong posture. secretly thought that this person was probably the son of the county guard.

Thinking of this, Liu Neng became more respectful.

"The envoy came from hundreds of miles to help, and I expressed my gratitude on behalf of the county's fathers and villagers. In the case of Fengming Mountain, the whole county is panicked and the people are struggling to make a living, and I hope that the envoy can solve this matter. Also Fengming County is too safe and healthy. ”

"Oh? Is it so serious? ”

Luoyang was curious, how could a Fengming Mountain have such a big impact.

"The envoy didn't know that Fengming Mountain was a big mountain that straddled the Xuanwu Kingdom and the Cheqi Kingdom within a radius of 100 miles. And outside half of the mountains in our Fengming County, there are tens of thousands of hunters who make a living by hunting in Fengming Mountain. ”

"Because there are too many people who continue to disappear in Fengming Mountain, those hunters don't dare to go in to hunt. Orions don't hunt and have no livelihood. As a result, the number of displaced people has increased, and the people have been poor. ”

"Xiaguan, as a county parent official, saw the people suffering. The pain in my heart was unbearable, and I only hoped that the upper envoy could solve the matter as soon as possible, and the lower officials were grateful. ”

Liu Neng explained the reasons for the incident one by one, and when he talked about the emotion, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Didn't the imperial court allocate funds for disaster relief?"

Luoyang was puzzled, this kind of thing is also a disaster.

"The money and food allocated by the imperial court is only a drop in the bucket, which can solve a temporary emergency. But how can you keep raising thousands of idlers? ”

After listening to Liu Neng's words, Luoyang also felt the seriousness of the situation.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a long shirt and a cloth hat behind Liu Neng stood up.

"My Excellency, this is not the place to speak. I have set up a banquet in the VIP building according to the instructions of the county, and you can enjoy eating and chatting. ”

Liu Neng patted his head.

"My brain, patronizing and talking. Envoys, please come with me, and we will talk while we eat. ”

Luoyang and the others rushed for a day, and their stomachs were already empty.

"Then thank you to the prefectural magistrate."

Luoyang and the others followed Liu Neng to a restaurant next to him. He didn't care about the groom, because the county government would have other receptions.

Everyone entered the restaurant, but there was no one in the restaurant. Liu Neng took the lead and walked upstairs to the third floor.

Enter a separate private room, which has an antique sound. It is full of poems and songs, and ancient paintings of famous artists.

There was already a table of wine and food, and there were many wild vegetables in it. It's not all meat, but it's hearty. Luoyang and the others are not picky eaters, they are all sons and daughters of big families. There are also a lot of delicacies to eat, and it's good to change the taste once in a while.

Luoyang and the others sat down according to their priorities, and the middle-aged scholar dressed as a scholar poured wine for everyone.

At this time, Liu Neng introduced: "This is the master of my county government, named Liu De." ”

The man smiled and clenched his fists. "I've seen all the envoys."

Everyone smiled and signaled, and it could be regarded as acquaintance.

Liu Neng raised his wine glass, looked around and said, "On behalf of Fengming County, the lower officials welcome you to come, and I will do it first." ”

After that, he drank it all and lowered the mouth of the wine glass, and sure enough, there was not a drop left. This cup is not small, and this man is dry in one sip. It seems that he is also a frequent drinker.

Luoyang also raised his glass.

"Thank you for the county order for me and others, and I will also give you a drink."

After that, he drank it all, and then introduced everyone to Liu Neng. The rest of the people also toasted. That is, Ye Qingwu, as a girl, did not drink.

During the banquet, everyone also chatted lively, with three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. The crowd slowly became full.

Luoyang finished the last bite of the bowl of food. took out the paperwork that Luo Yun gave him from his arms and handed it to Liu Neng.

Liu Neng took the paperwork, opened it and looked at it carefully, nodding from time to time.

"Good, that's good. With the guidance of the county keeper, the handling of the victims of this disaster has been much easier. ”

Luoyang also wanted to end the matter as soon as possible. He asked, "I don't know how to go to Fengming Mountain, I want to enter the mountain tomorrow." It is also possible to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so that the hunters who rely on the mountains can resume hunting as soon as possible. ”

"Originally, there were a lot of hunters who knew the way into the mountains, but since some people have started to disappear. The periphery of Fengming Mountain was gradually covered with fog, and it was not clear to see a hundred meters away. If you are not a seasoned hunter, you will not be able to enter the mountain. In addition, due to the large number of missing people, even seasoned hunters are reluctant to enter the mountains. ”

"Then what should we do, we can't let us break in."

Luoyang was speechless, no one led the way.

"It's not that no one, there is one person who is willing to go. But he had one condition. ”

"What conditions does he have? As the lord of a county, you can't make him move? Luoyang felt strange.

"He's just a kid, and his father is one of the vanished hunters. How can I use the majesty of the county order to suppress him. ”

After listening to Liu Neng's words, Luoyang was still a little curious about this child. At a young age, he dared to make conditions with the county order, and he dared to enter Fengming Mountain, which adults did not dare to go to. He wanted to see what kind of person the boy was.

"Then you call him, I want to see what he can offer."

"He was already waiting outside, and someone came to let the boy in."

As soon as Liu Neng's voice fell, a child came in outside.

The child's age of seven or eight years old may be the reason for his frequent hunting, his face is a little dark, but his body is thin and small. His hair was long and tied up on his back, and his eyes were dark and shiny. Entering the private room, I kept looking around, and there was no timidity of a child at all.

Luoyang looked around at him, and he was quite bold.

"Hey, kid. Have you eaten it? Would you like to have something to eat? ”

The child looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed. He pointed to himself.

"Can I eat it?"

"Eat as much as you want, Rory is like a."

With permission, he moved his own seat. sat next to Luoyang and served himself a bowl of rice. I put some vegetables in the bowl and devoured them.

Liu Nenggang wanted to dissuade him, but Luoyang waved his hand at him. Motioned for him to remain silent.

After eating three bowls in a row, I finally stopped. Luoyang saw that he had eaten well, and asked with a smile: "What's your name, child?" Do you know the way into Fengming Mountain? ”

The child wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"My name is Li Xiulian. I do know the way into the mountains, but only if I have the conditions. Otherwise I wouldn't lead the way. ”

"Do you know who I am? If you don't go, I'll kill you. Luoyang scared him.

"If you don't agree to my conditions, I won't go even if you kill me."

Li Xiulian's eyes were bright and there was no fear.

Luoyang was happy, I didn't expect this kid to be so brave.

"Okay, okay, then you can say what you want."

"If you can heal my mother, I will go with you, and then life and death will be at your disposal."

Hearing him say this, everyone in the banquet fell silent. I didn't expect a little child to be so filial. No wonder Liu Neng didn't recruit him, such a good boy, no one could bear to force him.

"Did Liu County Ling send a doctor to see his mother's condition?" Luoyang asked.

"Xia Guan sent more than a dozen doctors before and after, but they were all helpless. His mother's illness was caused by a blockage in the heart arteries caused by overwork, which could not be cleared by medicine. Unless the innate master uses spiritual power to guide in his body, it is possible to heal. And it must be mild spiritual power, if it is rough spiritual power, it will cause the heart to burst. ”

Liu Neng said that he was helpless, where to find the innate master. It's about finding out why others are helping you.

Luoyang thought about it, isn't he a congenital master? Maybe you can try.

"I'll walk with you after dinner and see if I can heal. I have some elixir in me, too. ”

Luoyang is talking nonsense.
