The four of them looked at each other, but they didn't expect that there would be someone who refused to be promoted.

"No one wants to come to Taiping County, if you transfer me away, I'm afraid that if there are no officials here, the people's lives will be very hard."

Shen Ping sighed, his face worried.

"I have the word 'Ping' in my name, and this place is also called Taiping County, maybe I am destined to have a fate here, and it is a good thing to stay."

The four of them know that it's one thing to not be able to leave, and it's another thing to be able to go but unwilling to leave, it seems that this Shen Ping is indeed a good official.

Emperor Qianling looked down at the file and found that Taiping County was not as rich as it is now ten years ago, on the contrary, it was no different from other border counties, it was very desolate, and it was Shen Ping's reform that promoted the development of this place little by little.

"If you don't go to a bigger place to exert your strength, it's a loss for the imperial court."

Emperor Qianling whispered, not loud, just filling the silent hall.

And Shen Ping just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

After reading the dossier, Ye Jingjing asked, "Lord Shen, I wonder if you can take us to the place where the accident happened?" ”

Shen Ping looked out the window, rubbed his hands, and asked a little uneasily, "Is this...... A few adults are tired of traveling, why don't you forget it today and go back tomorrow? ”

"Do things for the people, not afraid of late." Emperor Qianling smiled and said.

He originally thought that Shen Ping would agree immediately, but unexpectedly, he thought for a while in embarrassment, and then agreed, and went out to let someone prepare the car.

Everyone was wondering, and the housekeeper of the Shen family came over and saluted, "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is anything needed, just command, the little old man is willing to serve a few people." ”

Everyone waved their hands, indicating that they didn't need it, and the housekeeper looked around, and then whispered, "A few adults, in fact, there is a reason why the master doesn't want you to go to the bridge in the middle of the night, because the first few times the bridge was broken was at night."

"Moreover, it is rumored that the broken bridge is because it is haunted in this vicinity, or it has collided with the Dragon King, and my lord is afraid of causing trouble to several adults, and he is also afraid that he will lose face in front of you, so I want to ask you to go again tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Ye Jingjing smiled helplessly, and thought to herself, "Tuanzi, why didn't we encounter anything else on this trip, and we always encountered this kind of ghost-related thing?" ”

Tuanzi really jumped out of her mind and responded, "I can't help it!" Maybe this system vulnerability was borrowed from the haunted house next door! ”

"Do you have any hints this time?"

"No, please make your own efforts."

Ye Jingjing reluctantly swung her fist twice into the air, using it to vent her dissatisfaction.

At this time, Shen Ping also walked in and said that the carriage was ready, and Ye Jingjing only laughed and teased Tuanzi for a few words, so she didn't say anything to him anymore, and followed Di Qianling and others out.

The river where the accident occurred was not far from here, and when everyone came to their destination, they found that there was an unfinished bridge by the river, only the piers were laid, and the bridge was bare, and there was nothing.

Ye Jingjing looked around and saw that the surroundings were fenced off, guarded by catchers, and an old man was eating noodles not far away.

Shen Ping introduced, "This bridge has been suspended for five days, and it was originally broken and immediately rebuilt, but then the workers heard the rumors of the haunting, and they didn't dare to come to anything, so in desperation, the lower officials could only fence it off." ”

Seeing that he didn't speak again, Ye Jingjing asked in astonishment, "Is this the end?" Don't you have anything to say? ”

Shen Ping looked strange, "What did you say?" ”

Ye Jingjing pointed to the old man who was eating noodles, and Shen Ping patted his head and explained, "This is the bridge keeper in Taiping County." ”

"What is a bridge keeper?"

"Well, there has been this person since Xia Guan came here, he lives by the bridge, and he will sacrifice himself during the New Year's Festival, saying that he prays for the Dragon King to bless the wind and rain, and he walks around on weekdays, and he used to row boats to carry people over, or occasionally salvage things in the river for people."

Shen Ping paused, and then said, "However, the last two things to do with him are to collect money." ”

"You're going to let him do it?" Emperor Qianling asked.

Shen Ping scratched his head, "How to say it, this can be regarded as what he and the others are willing to do, and this person is very familiar with this area, sometimes even we have to come here to inquire." ”

Ye Jingjing looked the old man up and down, curious, and walked towards him.

Emperor Qianling followed, Qi Wushuang and Zhaoyu naturally followed, Shen Ping saw this, and hurriedly caught up, for fear of neglecting them.

As soon as everyone approached, before they could speak, the old man put down the bowl and asked, "You also came to see the dragon king's apparition, right?" ”

Ye Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and deliberately looked back at Shen Ping.

It seems that the old man treats them as ordinary people, but Shen Ping is clearly wearing an official uniform, hasn't this old man paid attention?

Shen Ping also subconsciously straightened his chest and motioned to the old man not to make trouble, but he didn't expect the old man to just wipe his hands and said calmly, "I'll show you once, ten cents." ”

Ye Jingjing couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't expect that she could give birth to such an "industry", which is like a scenic scalper in modern society.

Shen Ping was about to scold the other party, but saw Emperor Qianling take out the broken silver and throw it to him, "The rest should be rewarded to you." ”

The old man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he carefully put the broken silver into an old and faded waist bag, picked up the fishing rod on the ground, and said softly, "Shhhhh ”

Ye Jingjing only thought it was funny - since she left the capital, she had not encountered this kind of thing uncommonly, every time she said that it was a ghost and a ghost, but in the end, she found out that it was all a ghost.

So this time, she didn't believe in any dragon king's apparitions.

At this time, the old man tied a fish to the rod and carried it to the river.

When they followed him, they saw the old man bow down to the river and carefully let the fish in.

At first, they didn't think anything was wrong, but soon they saw the fishing line trembling and the business coming from the river, as if some animal was moving.

But if you listen closely, it's not the sound of moving, it's gnawing, and it's clear that there's something in the river eating the fish!

Soon, the old man lifted the fishing rod, and everyone was surprised to find that the fish on it had turned into a fish bone, and the meat on it had been eaten clean!

Everyone was taken aback, and the old man smiled mysteriously, "See? This is the manifestation of the dragon king, eating this fish. ”

The moonlight shone on Sen Sen's white bones, although they were fish bones, but looking at this in the middle of the night, Ye Jingjing still felt a little chill in her back.

Shen Ping's face turned even whiter, and he hurriedly asked, "Why didn't anyone report such a big thing?!" ”
