"Sister, why did you tell that prodigal son what your last name was?" Xiao Huai, a woman in Tsing Yi, said dissatisfied.

The two of them stood in the attic at this time, and downstairs was a large back garden, with lush flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, and flowing water rockeries.

If there is anything incongruous, it is a huge mansion and a back garden, except for the two people standing in the attic, there is not a single servant of the rest, empty and quiet, it seems a little strange.

The white-skinned woman in white lightly tapped her forehead with her white fingers and said with a smile: "Xiaohuai, why do you have such a big opinion about him, but I just bumped into you, and this is all back, and I keep chattering." ”

"Sister, it's not that I just have an opinion about that person, I just can't get used to these poor scholars. Didn't I have nothing to do the other day? I went to the bookstore and bought some books to read, to see what they had to say about us goblins and goblins. As a result, I was so angry that I could see it. ”

Xiaohuai pouted, looking annoyed.

"Many of these books were written by poor scholars, and you tell me how they arranged us in the book! They even say that we like to change the beauty and stick them upside down! What fox sacrifices herself to repay her kindness, what female ghost comes to knock on the door at night, and often one is not satisfied, thinking about the blessings of all people, it really disgusts people. ”

The corners of the woman in white curled slightly, and she smiled: "Look at you so angry, don't you allow anyone to think about it." ”

Xiaohuai snorted: "These poor scholars, just think about it, where do we look down on them, but they are just disgusting things in the world." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly sneered again: "Fortunately, they just think about it, if one day they really let them run into goblins other than you and me, let them know how cruel the truth is, those fools don't add any red sleeves, they want to eat people." ”

The woman in white sighed faintly and did not speak.

Xiao Huaihu looked at her suspiciously, "Sister, you haven't answered my question just now, why do you want to tell that prodigal son what your surname is?" The next time you see him, won't you tell him what your name is? Next time you're sure to tell him where you live...... Oh my God, sister, how can you do this! ”

The woman in white looked helpless, she was just on a whim, and casually replied to the scholar, Xiaohuai began to make up for it, what is this.

"There's no next time, we're leaving Ping'an County soon."

"Huh?" Xiaohuai was taken aback, and couldn't care about the question just now, "Why do you want to leave, aren't we staying here well?" ”

As a tree demon, she naturally likes to stay in one place, at most she walks around, and doesn't like to run around.

"The earth is full of energy, the demons and ghosts are gradually gathering, and Ping'an County is about to become a place of right and wrong, and you can't stay for a long time." A serious expression appeared on the face of the woman in white.

"What are the demons afraid of, aren't we too, and those fools still dare to provoke us?" Xiaohuai didn't care.

She pulled the sleeve of the woman in white, put on a pitiful look, and begged: "And the earth is full of energy, this is also our opportunity, if we have enough earth qi to help, won't our cultivation immediately go to a higher level." So sister, we might as well stay and see the situation, what a rare opportunity. Even if the situation is not right, we will have time to leave, and who can stop the two of us. ”

The woman in white shook her head and said slowly: "It's not so simple, this is a killing machine, I have a hunch, not only our demons, but also people from the great family will appear." ”

Hearing the "Great Family", Xiaohuai's face changed slightly.

……

Fang Yue walked along the street all the way to the front of the county office.

Facing the gate of the county government, the eight characters open to the south, in front of the gate is a wall of eight characters, the top of the wall is posted with the emperor's "holy message", and there are also the edicts of the imperial court and the higher officials, as well as the notices and prohibitions of the county magistrate, all of them, almost all over that wall.

Outside the county office is a lively street, and there are many pedestrians, so at this moment, there are also a few people parked in front of the eight-character wall to watch the notices on it.

However, most of the civilians were illiterate and illiterate, and could not read the notices on them, so those who were literate read them aloud to other people.

Ordinary people are afraid of seeing officials, but Fang Yue is a showman, with a different identity and privileges, and it is not a big deal to see officials.

Fang Yue thought about what he was going to say later, he didn't have any definite evidence in his hand that Haikou would inevitably attack the city.

But from the conversation with Ren Junlin, he knew that there are now several shareholders in the coastal area of Baiquan Mansion, which is very unusual, and the number of people is still increasing.

It is impossible for the county government to be unaware of this suspicious situation, but it can start from this aspect.

His purpose was to tell the county commander Chen about the possibility of Haikou attacking Ping'an County, as for how to judge and how to deal with it, that was the duty of the county commander.

Anyway, he has the identity of a showman, even if it turns out to be a false alarm in the end, he can get out of the way, at most he will be punished a little, it's not a big deal, he can afford this risk.

You must know that in ancient times, Xiucai could not only see officials without kneeling, but could even scold local officials.

In ancient times, it was a very serious matter for the people to scold officials, and they were generally sentenced to heavy sentences.

But Xiucai is different, if they feel that what the officials do is not in line with the way of Confucius and Mencius, they can scold the officials, and ordinary officials will not do anything to them, so they can only endure it.

Even sometimes if Xiucai kills people and violates the law, officials do not dare to arrest Xiucai at will, let alone impose punishment on Xiucai, they will generally report to the provincial school inspector, and when the school inspector government removes Xiucai's fame, they dare to take action against Xiucai.

What's more, the figure of the Haikou appeared in a nightmare, and the siege of the Haikou was probably not a false alarm.

Fang Yue didn't stay in front of the gate for long, passed the gate, passed through the Yimen, and arrived in the county hall.

This is not the time to ascend to the hall, and there is no one in the county hall except for an old official.

The old servant was dozing off in a chair, and Yang Yue didn't notice when he came in.

Fang Yue didn't bother the old officer, and continued to walk inside, when he was in the middle of the exam, he came to the county government once, and later came to visit the county order once with the county school, so he was familiar with the road.

Of course, that was when the previous county magistrate arrived, and the current county magistrate of Ping'an County had just arrived a few months ago, and he didn't know his temperament.

As soon as he turned the hall, a young man dressed in a scribe's costume walked out of the west wing room and happened to meet Yang Yue.

When the young scribe saw Fang Yue, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted, "Fang Xiucai." ”

Fang Yue felt that the other party was a little familiar, but he couldn't name it for a while, and he was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the young scribe introduced himself: "My surname is Li, my name is Changhe, and I am a scribe in the Yamen Barracks. ”

Fang Yue thought to himself that it was no wonder that it was familiar, but at that time, the protagonists were the county magistrate and their newly promoted talents, and this Li Changhe and the other officials of the yamen were all on the side, and their names were not announced.

Don't look at Fang Yue's poor appearance now, as a showman, his social status and identity are higher than Li Changhe, but Fang Yue doesn't dare to despise the other party.

Li Changhe entered the county government room at a young age, although the upper limit as a Xu official is limited, but he is a member of the yamen, and the officials are different from officials, the court officials have a term of office, and they must be transferred at the end of the term, and the officials in the county government often will not move their nests for the rest of their lives.

As a native of Ping'an County, Fang Yue will have more or less opportunities to deal with the other party in the future, so naturally he will not offend the other party indiscriminately.

On the other hand, among the dozens of talents at that time, Fang Yue was by no means the most prominent, and even because he was backward on the talent list and his family was poor, he was inconspicuous among the talents at that time.

And even so, today, after this year, Li Changhe can recognize him at a glance and call out his name. Whether it's a good memory or a heart, it's all amazing.

Fang Yue also greeted with a smile: "Hello, Secretary Li." ”

Li Changhe asked: "I don't know why Fang Xiucai came to our county office?" ”

Fang Yue said: "There is something, I want to see the county lord, I don't know if the county lord is in the yazhong now?" ”

Li Changhe glanced at the two packets of medicine that Fang Yue was holding in his hand, his face was a little strange, but he quickly returned to normal, and said: "The county is resting in the inner house in the back, if it is not for the county lord to summon you over, you must first hand the worship note to the door in the house and let him pass it on his behalf." ”

"Excuse me?" Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said with annoyance: "Oops, I forgot to bring a prayer post." ”

As a scholar, he usually has to send a message of worship to the elders and big people first, but Fang Yue forgot about this for a while, or he hasn't adapted to it.

Li Changhe: "It's better to do this, I'll go to our barracks to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and you can write a letter now, and you can save the pain of going back and forth." ”

Fang Yue arched his hand and said, "Then it will bother Your Excellency." ”

In fact, it's nothing if you don't have to worship the post, but he has never met with the current county magistrate, and the worship post is to show his identity, and he goes up rashly, and the other party may not be willing to see him, so it is not a mistake.

Li Changhe quickly took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the class room, Fang Yue picked up the pen, and wrote the greeting post on a piece of paper, identity, name, font number, and which subject of talent, one by one.

Fang Yue's handwriting is not outstanding, but it is also decent, and it will be written in a while.
