Out of the medical hall, Fang Yue went straight to the county office.

On the street, there was a panic, and the vendors who set up their stalls were also hurriedly cleaning up their stalls, as if a catastrophe was coming.

There was the unaware, and the familiar passer-by asked what happened, and after learning the truth, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran home.

The chaos began to appear, this was not long after the incident, and there was no time to expand the scope of transmission, once brewing, the entire county would fall into panic.

At this time, it is necessary for the government to come forward to calm the hearts of the people and quell the riots.

When he arrived at the county office, when he heard that he had come to report the news of Huzhi County, the official immediately led Fang Yue to the second hall.

After passing through the lobby and entering the second hall of the county government, Fang Yue found that the second hall was very lively, the county's second-in-command Zhang Xiancheng, the county lieutenant Zhao who was in charge of the security of soldiers and horses, Liu Zhushu who was in charge of the household registration of the paperwork, Zeng Dianshi who was in charge of the arrest of prisoners, and even Qian Jiaoyu, who was in charge of the county school, and the warden of the sixth room of the county government, and the mastermind officials of Ping'an County were all concentrated in the second hall.

"Now that even Hu Zhixian has an accident, this matter is not trivial, and it must be reported to Fucheng immediately."

"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the Wang family's compound is haunted, and the master of Guangyuan Temple should be invited to come over immediately."

"When the people in the county heard about the haunting, they were panicked, and if someone took the opportunity to make trouble, it would be a big trouble."

When Fang Yue came, these people were discussing things in the second hall, and they heard the report of the official who had fled back from the Wang family's compound, and learned about the incident, and they were also panicked at the moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Fang Xiucai has news of the county master." The official who led the way.

The big and small officials in the second hall stopped talking, and they all looked at Fang Yue, no matter what you say, the magistrate is the highest official of a county, and the magistrate is responsible for everything in the county, and the life and death of Hu Zhixian are unknown, this problem is very serious.

"Do you know the news of Master Hu, where is he now?" A dignified-looking, burly middle-aged official asked first.

Fang Yue recognized him as Zhang Xiancheng of this county, in terms of appearance, Zhang Xiancheng can shake off a few streets of Huzhi County, and Zhang Xiancheng has been in office in Ping'an County for more than four years, according to the officialdom for three years, this is his second term, and he belongs to the "old man" among the officials of Ping'an County.

However, the official level crushed people to death, and when Hu Zhixian was there, he could only be his deputy, and only when something happened in Hu Zhixian did he temporarily take the lead and take full authority to deal with the affairs of the county government.

"Hu Zhixian was injured a little, but it was fine, and he is now resting in the infirmary of Dr. Sun's house in the south of the city, and Li Zhutou is also there." Fang Yue gave a general explanation of the situation.

Hearing that Hu Zhixian was fine, most of the officials in the second hall breathed a sigh of relief, such a big thing happened, and when Hu Zhixian came back, at least there was a backbone.

Although Zhang Xiancheng is the second-in-command and can temporarily handle the affairs of the county government, he is not a serious county magistrate after all.

Fang Yue noticed that Zhang Xiancheng's eyes sank slightly, and it was difficult to understand, but he quickly returned to normal, and said with joy on his face: "Master Hu is fine, that's really good, I will immediately send someone to Dr. Sun's medical hall to pick him up, such a major event has happened in the county, and he needs to sit in the county government to get an idea." ”

"Not a good person." Fang Yue thought to himself, but being an official can't be measured simply by whether it's good or not.

Here, Zhang Xiancheng and other officials discussed going to the hospital to pick up Hu Zhixian, going to Guangyuan Temple to invite the master and monk to exorcise ghosts, and sending people to appease the people in the county.

Fang Yue saw that he had nothing to do, so he was about to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, the official who had come in with Fang Yue earlier led a little monk with a gray face to walk in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, quickly send someone to save our Guangyuan Temple!" As soon as the little monk came in, he immediately knelt on the ground and exchanged tears.

All the officials in the second hall were stunned at first, and then in an uproar.

"What's going on? What happened to Guangyuan Temple? ”

"Is it a bandit? Are the masters in the temple okay? ”

Just now, everyone was still discussing that they wanted to invite the master of Guangyuan Temple to go to the Wang family compound to exorcise ghosts, and Guangyuan Temple itself had an accident first.

"Everyone, be quiet." Zhang Xiancheng shouted to stop the noisy crowd, turned his head to the little monk and said solemnly: "What the hell is going on?" What happened to Guangyuan Temple? Why did you come to the county government for help? ”

The little monk was only fifteen or sixteen years old, his body was covered with dust and mustard, one of the cloth shoes on his feet had fallen off, and his face was full of snot and tears, and it was dirty.

Hearing Zhang Xiancheng's question, his immature face showed a look of horror, and he said while crying: "It's a monster, a big monster suddenly came to the temple, several zhang high, eating people everywhere, the uncle and brother in the temple were eaten several, the abbot and the monster fought, but they were also eaten, my master asked me to secretly escape from the back mountain and go to the county government to ask for help." ”

"You little monk is talking nonsense, a monster several feet high, how come I've never seen it."

"I always thought that the demons and monsters were all made up on the stage, and they were just rumors in the market, but they really existed."

"A youkai several feet tall? This, how tall and big this monster, it's over, it's over. ”

"Oh my God, first the ghosts in the Wang family's compound killed people, and now there are monsters in Guangyuan Temple eating people, what is wrong with this world?"

When the officials of Ping'an County heard the words of the little monk, there was an uproar again, some did not believe it, some were frightened, some were shocked, and they were in a mess.

……

"Demons are rampant, and the contents of the nightmare are finally starting to fall?"

Fang Yue walked towards the outside of the county office, thinking in his heart, coming to this world, it will only take two days to be full, and this is not a buffer time at all.

"Fang Xiucai."

Hearing someone shouting behind him, Fang Yue paused, but it turned out to be the young scribe Li Changhe he had seen in the county government before.

Li Changhe walked over quickly, he was also in the second hall before, and when he saw Fang Yue coming out, he chased after him, "Fang Xiucai, I don't know how my fourth uncle is now?" ”

Fang Yue was puzzled: "Who is your fourth uncle?" ”

Li Changhe patted his head and said, "Look at me, I'm so anxious, I didn't make it clear." My fourth uncle is Li Zhutou, just now when you were in the second hall, you mentioned that my fourth uncle was also in the hospital, and all the adults were there at that time, so I can't ask in detail. ”

Fang Yue didn't expect that Li Zhutou was Li Dong's fourth uncle, but they were all surnamed Li, which was not strange.

Li Zhutou was a little frightened, but he was not injured, and now he is accompanying the county in the medical hall. It's just that the few catchers under him didn't escape in the Wang family's compound. ”

"Fourth uncle, he's fine." Li Changhe sighed, "It's a pity that those few catches are fast." ”

Fang Yue didn't think how unjust those few catchers died, so they took the sheep by the hand, guarded and stole themselves, superstitionally speaking, it was karma.

Fang Yue asked: "The female ghost in the Wang family's courtyard has destroyed the door, the monster of Guangyuan Temple eats people, Li Shuyi, have you experienced or heard of such an incident before?" ”

Li Changhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I've heard some of them before, they all happened in other prefectures and counties, and they have always been regarded as strange talk in the market, but I didn't expect it to happen in front of me." ”

Fang Yue asked again: "Then how will the government deal with this kind of incident?" ”

Li Changhe: "I don't know, I can probably only wait for the county to come back, report to the city, and let the court deal with it." Weird ghosts, monsters a few feet high, it's really unimaginable. ”

Fang Yue was silent, this means that the county government has no choice now, and can only wait for the above to deal with it, and I don't know if the imperial court has a way to deal with these ghosts.
