Chapter 20 Inspection (Collect!) )
At this time, Wu Ming had just arrived, so he naturally said that there were many mistakes, so it was better to remain silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the elder seemed to have something to ask for, and it would be a side quest if he didn't get it right, he had a big threat of obliteration on his head, but he didn't stay long, asked the way, and headed for the county seat.
"This town is gloomy and makes the scalp tingle, not a good place......"
After walking for several miles towards the sun, the fog gradually faded, and Wu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, I saw that the surrounding acres of fields were continuous, the fields were longitudinal and horizontal, the chickens and dogs smelled each other, and a few thatched huts not far away were even more curling smoke rising, but it was okay.
After walking for more than ten miles, I saw a square city with a circumference of several miles, the city wall was covered with blue-black moss, the gate was open, and the pedestrians were bustling, with a vegetable color, with a bit of a dilapidated feeling.
"Ten cents to enter the city!"
The soldiers defending the city had a cold face, and when they saw Wu Ming's long body and jade robe, he did not look like ordinary people, and his eyes moved slightly.
Wu Ming didn't have anything to offer, although there was also an exchange in the main temple, but his merits were precious, so he didn't care much about this aspect of the content.
But at this point, there are some minor troubles.
"It's a bit of a mistake, I knew that I would wear a green shirt and find a sheath for the peachwood sword, but I could pretend to be talented and have privileges......
Wu Ming secretly wrote this down, and did not enter the city, but came to the notice column next to him.
On the side of the city gate, dense notices are pasted layer after layer, and the corners are yellow, mostly sea fishing documents, wanted portraits, and even official edicts.
In the middle, there is a bright yellow list text, which reads:
“…… Under the rule of Heitai, in Heishui Town, demons are rampant, wild souls grow, and the official protects the territory and the people, and has the responsibility of guarding the land...... However, the yin and yang have different paths, and the characteristics call the people to be able and different, the generous and heroic, and the people are upside down...... Regardless of origin, place of origin, but there is a success, the establishment of a hundred taels of silver, a hundred acres of fertile land......"
Underneath is an unfamiliar year name, as well as the month and day, and a boxy, bright red official seal.
"100 acres of fertile land? That's almost a thousand taels of silver, which is very rich...... It's just that...... Blackwater? ”
Wu Ming suddenly thought of the place he came from, and smiled dumbly: "I don't want to go around, I still have to go back to the original point......
didn't say much at the moment, just stepped forward, gently and skillfully removed the list and held it in his hand.
"Huh?"
"Someone unveiled the list?"
In an instant, a group of people gathered around, looking at them with curiosity, shock, and even vague schadenfreude.
"Huh? Look like this...... I have a few previous unveilers, I'm afraid there will be less luck! ”
Wu Ming's heart moved, but his face remained unchanged, and his bearing was as good as ever.
The two of them came over immediately, and after reading it, they had a bit of a score in their hearts, they saw a lot of people, and naturally knew that this young man was different from the previous few cheats, and couldn't help but say: "Lang Jun has thought about it?" If you don't blame the county, no one will be able to save you! ”
"This is natural!"
Wu Ming replied with a smile, and entered the city with two tolerances, and the entrance fee to the city was naturally exempted.
In Heitai County, it is a little more prosperous than the outside world, there is not much hunger and cold on the pedestrians' faces, and the streets are quite clean, with rice shops, salt shops, tea shops, pawnshops, wine shops, hotels, cloth shops, jewelry shops, green buildings...... Row upon row, there are merchants, pick department stores, and sell them in the streets and alleys.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the county office, he entered through the side door, and Wu Ming was taken to a side room to wait.
At this time, a little official said: "Later, our inspector Wu is coming, you have to pay attention!" ”
The county is the head of a county, a hundred miles of waiting, naturally not want to see it, the inspection is in charge of the security of a county, similar to the director of the public security bureau in later generations, the grades of each dynasty are different, there are from the nine products, there are also nine products, but always into the official body, non-soap officials can be compared.
"I know that, thank you for telling me!"
Wu Ming gave his hand as a courtesy, but what he got was a blank eye.
"Humph!"
The little official who didn't get the expected red envelope tip snorted coldly and retreated, Wu Ming immediately knew that he had offended the little ghost, and if he was entangled in the future, it would be even more troublesome.
It's just that he's not a local, he's a visitor from outside the world, and he's penniless, but it doesn't matter.
This Wu inspector was obviously busy, and Wu Ming waited for more than half an hour before he finally saw the real person.
Of course, there was no tea and snacks during the period, which is the consequence of the evil ghost.
"Student Wu Ming, I've seen Wu Patrol!"
Wu Ming saw an official come in, seven feet tall, with a face less than forty years old, with dark skin, bright eyes, sharp edges and corners on his face, and even with a majesty of the law, he naturally knew that it was Wu Hong, the inspector of Heitai County, and bowed deeply.
At this time, I naturally can't say that I have no name and no surname, anyway, I used to be named 'nameless', and other reincarnators will only think that it is just a pseudonym when they hear it.
This is the truth when the fake is true.
"Your name is Wu Ming? How can you dare to take this list? Well? Have you been to school? ”
Seeing that Wu Ming just made a gesture and did not kneel down to salute, the corner of Wu Hong's eyes jumped, and when he heard Wu Ming calling himself a 'student', he couldn't help asking.
He is in charge of the security of a county, no matter how he makes a fool of the people, and even the Jiangyang thieves, he has to tremble when he sees him.
At this time, seeing that Wu Ming was polite and polite, he was calm, but he glanced at it in his heart.
Of course, this also has something to do with Wu Ming pretending to be a scholar.
In all dynasties, as long as it is still an agrarian empire, there is always preferential treatment for scholars.
"I went to school since I was a child, and I am ashamed that I have no merit and fame, but I have to recognize a few words......"
Although Wu Ming has a little ink in his stomach, the ghost knows what is going on with the Four Books and Five Classics of this dynasty? If you say that you are a child and a talent, you will definitely be exposed in that test, but it is better to only recognize a few words.
Anyway, after reading the list outside the city, Wu Ming knew that the font here was similar to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no big problem.
"Even so, it's also rare......"
Wu Hong nodded slightly, his face slightly gentle.
Although Wu Ming is not even a child, but he is also a scholarly family, a scholar, a scholar, a scholar, he always has to give a lenient score, and it is not a formal occasion at this time, and he is not a Qipin county honor, so he naturally let it go gently: "The list is not light, once it is taken, you must not shirk it, can you think about it?" ”
"Please rest assured! I learned the kung fu of breathing and breathing since I was a child, and my father was old with him, and asked for some spiritual runes, and the little ghosts were still somewhat sure......"
Wu Ming said, seeing that Wu Hong seemed to be a little hesitant, and then said: "This trip is boring to read, thinking that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and come out to increase your knowledge, this time it is a ...... that came over Montenegro."
This last sentence is to think of the people in Heishui Town, who were scared half to death when they saw themselves coming out of Black Mountain, and they had an idea.
"Montenegro?"
When Wu Hong heard this, his face also changed, and he looked at Wu Ming for a long time, and then smiled: "Now that the world is not quiet, you can travel around, obviously you have a strange art, since this is the case, then I will report your name......"
"Thank you, sir!"
Wu Ming saluted deeply, and then the task in the sea of knowledge suddenly changed:
[Successfully reach Heitai County and reveal the list, side quest - arrive (complete)!] 】
[Second Side Quest Started: Detective!] 】
[Mission Objective: You who have uncovered the county list need to find out the truth about the disaster in Heishui Town within seven days, and if you succeed, you will start the main quest!] Failure will be deducted a thousand small merits, the merit is insufficient, and it will be obliterated! 】
'Blackwater? ’
Wu Ming sighed in his heart, and frowned a little: "It's really related to that town?" But why do you want to go to the county seat first? ’
Wu Hong asked again: "Well, you are a young talent, my father of Heishui Town, I will entrust it to you, the county has an order, and within seven days, there must be results...... Do you have any more requests? ”
At this time, there was a servant serving tea, and the conversation was coming to an end.
"This ...... To deal with ghosts and goblins, students still need some materials, arrange altars, and sacrifices......"
Wu Ming pretended to be a little embarrassed.
However, it is true that he is now penniless and destitute.
"This official will naturally tell the public account, when you leave, take ten taels of silver and leave!"
Wu Hong frowned and picked up the teacup.
Wu Ming naturally knew that this was the time to serve tea to the guests, so he immediately got up to thank him and say goodbye.
……
Out of the yamen, Wu Ming touched the five taels of silver in his arms, but he sneered.
On the books, it is ten taels, but Hu Cao and small officials at all levels, layer by layer, immediately shrank by half, this is the rule, and no one can speak.
And Wu Hong said that it was ten taels, but in fact, the account may have gone twenty taels or thirty taels, which does not need to be detailed.
Finally, I thought that I wanted him to do something, and what I gave was snow-white filaments of high-grade official silver, scattered and broken, glowing with silver light, not too big or small, but also a lump sum, enough for a family of three to live a year.
'After I unveiled the list, I don't know if Tu Yanghao and the other tasks will be changed, or failed, and they can even be revealed......
Wu Ming seemed to wander aimlessly in the county seat, but he didn't care about the tail that followed out of the yamen behind him.
The government is not a fool, how can it be possible to let him take the money and leave? It is necessary to follow the trail.
It's okay at this time, but once the seven-day limit has passed, or you show your intention to escape, then the end will be ...... Hey......
"But...... The water in Blackwater Town looks very deep......"
Wu Ming didn't go out of the city to stimulate the two tails, but walked slowly, but his brows were tightened: "That Wu Hong!" The muscles and bones are strong, and the martial arts are at least equivalent to the four layers of the Great Zhou physical realm, and the inner strength is good...... And he is a patrol, a pawn, a servant, and a maximum of 100 ...... Even if you eat an empty quota, you still have twenty or thirty summoned people, and you still have an official body, which can greatly offset the power of magic...... Even, even if he can't do it, he can also use the county lieutenant, a county's soldiers, three or five hundred must have ......"
"With such a great power, can't it help the strange things of a small town?"
Wu Ming's brows furrowed.
