Li Mu has never been a good person in the traditional sense.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is aggressive, and he has caused a lot of things since he was a child, and he can do whatever it takes to target the enemy.

It's like Gu Tianlin, who has been against him, he just found a few young ladies in the bathing center at a very small price, and he brought Gu Tianlin back to life and ruined his reputation.

However, acting in modern society, after all, he is still somewhat restrained, he will not break the law, fights are fights, and hitting people is only a flesh injury, and he has his own measure.

Even if his cultivation has been improved now, he has become a legendary qi refiner, half an immortal, he still chooses to abide by the rules of modern society and be an ordinary, kind and law-abiding good citizen.

Occasionally, there are surprising actions, but they are also forced to do it, not the norm.

But after coming to this Great Yin Dynasty, killing people and punishing demons, the pride in the blood was aroused, and there were fewer worries in acting.

That Hao Jingui just now had an abominable face, a common man, arrogant and domineering, and he was really angry when he looked at it, and his words were more shameless than those of experts in modern society.

I can't kill the modern bad seeds, and I can't kill the corrupt officials of the Great Yin Dynasty?

Therefore, after sensing that Hao Jingui had evil thoughts about him, Li Mu moved to kill.

He is a fan of martial arts novels, since he was a child, he has longed for the kind of chivalrous man who robs the rich and helps the poor, kills corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and local tyrants and inferior gentry.

Corrupt officials are also considered human beings?

He has long been deprived of human rights in his heart.

The court doesn't care about me!

Slash it with one sword!

Therefore, when he was sure that Hao Jingui really wanted to target him, Li Mu did not hesitate to throw out a giant snake puppet and swallow all of Hao Jingui and his guards.

This little puppet technique has been cultivated to a high level, there is not much difference between the puppet and the normal creature, although this giant python puppet can't really digest and absorb the people who swallow it, but Li Mu quietly put a pure yang true fire in its abdomen, as long as these people are swallowed into the belly of the snake, they will be immediately vaporized and burned into nothingness.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Hao Jingui and others were indeed devoured by the giant snake.

As for the giant snake disappearing after his death, why didn't even the corpses of Hao Jingui and these people remain, that was a monster matter, not something that mortals could understand.

In this world, it is common for monsters and monsters to make trouble, monsters eat people, and they happen from time to time, but they have the courage to eat people in the city, or the monsters who eat officials at the yamen, after all, there are still not many.

"Well fed!"

Zhang Shihong and the others didn't come back to their senses until the giant snake disappeared, and then they had the strength to stand up, some of them were scared to pee, their pants were wet, they were embarrassed to stand for a long time, and they said a crime, and they left first.

More came to the yamen, looking at the yamen that was smashed by the giant snake, with a sad face.

After all, Qinghe County Commander is a parent official, if he is here, even if he is mediocre, there is a tender person who is in charge, and if he encounters anything, he will have a final decision.

Now that he has been devoured by the snake demon, and his bones are gone, it is impossible for the imperial court to send officials to take office soon, and this Qinghe County is afraid that it will be chaotic for a while.

That's not all, the key is that the incorruptible envoy sent by the imperial court to investigate the place was also devoured by the snake demon, which is a big deal.

Although this good Jin Gui is only a deputy envoy, but he is also a four-grade official, extraordinary, he was devoured by monsters, the court must be furious, whether this matter is good or bad, it is difficult to say.

"The county lord was unfortunately buried in the belly of the snake, and the incorruptible envoy was also victimized by the demons, so he had to inform the court quickly and let the lord of the mansion deal with it."

Several scholars stood at the gate of the county government for a while, and after discussing with each other, they elected Zhang Shihong to temporarily take the responsibility of the county and handle many matters in the county seat.

According to the law of the imperial court, if there is a major change in a certain place and the prefect of the county is dead, then the local people can nominate people with prestige to manage the place for the time being, and when they are stabilized, after the court sends a new official to take office, it will depend on the situation.

Zhang Shihong did not shirk: "The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the county seat is also a truth." Brother, I am only a shallow learner, thank you for your love, push me to temporarily act as the county honor, brother will do his best. ”

At this time, the head catchers and officials in the city also gathered, they had no fame, and the responsibility of this county was not their turn.

But if you want Qinghe County to be stable, you have to need them to maintain law and order, Zhang Shihong's cousin is the head of the county government, and there are many people from the Zhang family in the city.

Now Zhang Shihong is in danger and is appointed as the temporary magistrate of the county, and the people of the old Zhang family naturally support him, and he is a lifter, and his reputation is good, so he has become the temporary magistrate of Qinghe County without resistance.

A local old man reminded: "Shihong, the county order and the incorruptible envoy were devoured by monsters, this matter is not trivial, it involves the court and the underworld, you not only have to write a letter to the court, tell the details, but also burn incense and bathe, tell the city god, burn yellow paper, and inform the netherworld." ”

Zhang Shihong said: "Wasn't the City God Temple burned down? We don't have a city god in Qinghe County, so what can we do? ”

The old man said, "Then please ask the witch and the witch to inform the ghosts and gods." ”

Zhang Shihong didn't dare to slack off: "Then ask the old man to preside over this matter, get ready, I will personally write the recital, and go through the netherworld." ”

After arranging all the things, Zhang Shihong came to Li Mu: "Brother Li, our Qinghe County is safe, but we are all counting on you!" ”

Nowadays, there are a lot of displaced people outside Qinghe County, and if someone agitates them, these victims may impact the county seat.

The plague had begun to spread, and from time to time people died, and even people in the city were infected with the plague and could not afford to fall ill.

It is really an internal and external trouble, and it is in danger.

Zhang Shihong knew that his ability was limited, and he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with this matter, and the only thing he hoped for was Li Mu.

As long as Li Mu, a strange person, supports him, he will have no worries.

Li Mu said with a smile: "Brother's ability is limited, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Shihong begged Li Muyang: "Brother Zhang, I know that you have clever means, please save me!" This Qinghe County is the location of the county for the two of us, and I can decide if I am not brothers. ”

The reason why he temporarily took the post of county magistrate was that he wanted Li Mu to manage Qinghe County with him, and with Li Mu in charge, Qinghe County would not be in chaos.

At the same time, the imperial court will give great care to students who have contributed to the local area during the imperial examination, and those who have outstanding ability to govern the local area will even be exempted from the examination and promoted all the way.

Zhang Shihong has already passed the examination, so he naturally wants to go further, and at the same time, he also wants to take advantage of the situation to pull Li Mu and share half of the credit with Li Mu.

When Li Mu participates in the scientific expedition, there will be no obstacles.

Li Mu didn't understand his plan very well, but seeing that Zhang Shihong had asked for the people's life before, he begged Hao Jingui to exempt the victims from paying taxes, and now he wants to govern the place.

So he said with a smile: "The victims outside Qinghe County must be resettled quickly, I have some resettlement strategies, Brother Zhang might as well try to do it, it will have some effect." ”

Zhang Shihong said: "Please also ask Brother Li for advice!" ”

At that moment, Li Mu gave him some ideas, asking him to organize the victims to build temporary shelters, separate those who had the plague from ordinary people, build more public toilets, and not drink raw water.

At the same time, the work for relief allows the able-bodied victims to participate in the work, build bridges and pave roads, dig rivers and reclaim wasteland, and weed and fertilize the rich landlords.

He also called on wealthy households to donate money and materials, build a tent, and save people with porridge on credit.

After telling Zhang Shihong about some of the knowledge he saw in the book, Zhang Shihong's eyebrows fluttered when he heard it, and his face was amazed: "Brother Li, such a move made me suddenly, you are the talent of the prime minister!" There is no need for this, it is really the fault of the court! ”

Li Mu laughed: "The talent of the prime minister? I don't dare to be! ”

After he informed Zhang Shihong of the details, he immediately left.

When he returned to his house, he saw someone hanging from a tree at a nearby intersection, with a pool of blood on his pants and his legs kicking in the air, struggling incessantly, and looking extremely painful.

"It seems that someone is plotting to rot Ke chess pieces again!"

Li Mu looked at the hanging man, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "I didn't expect that the matter of this chess piece has not stopped until now, it seems that you have to use some violent means!" ”

When he came to the gate, Hu Yunniang was already waiting at the door.

As soon as he saw Li Mu, he stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Sun Honglie said that the master is back, I still don't believe it." Thinking about how the master went to the shop first, instead of returning home first, I heard the movement at the entrance of the yamen, and then I realized that the master had other plans. ”

Li Mu smiled: "What movement can there be at the yamen?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

He walked into the courtyard, Hu Yunniang hurriedly waited for him to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and ordered someone to bring tea and soup: "Please also ask the master to rinse his mouth." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Don't be busy, I'm like a landlord and a landlord, our family doesn't have so many rules, and we don't have to copy any big families in terms of diet." ”

Hu Yunniang said: "Yes." ”

After she served Li Mu to drink tea, she whispered to Li Mu: "Master, I'm afraid that our county town is going to have a turmoil recently. ”

Li Muqi said: "Turmoil? What turmoil? ”

Hu Yunniang said: "The old man killed the city god, which made the nearby king of Heishui very angry, he and the local city god is a friend of eight worships, and when he learned that the city god was killed, he decided to poison the people of a city to pay tribute to the righteous brother city god." ”

Li Muqi said: "Who is this Black Water King?" ”

Hu Yunniang said: "The plague in nearby Baoming County is caused by the breath leaking when the Black Water King was refining the magic weapon. It is said that his body has the blood of the ancient nine-headed poisonous insects, and he is the best at using poison, and he has a thousand-year-old Taoism, dominating the black dragon pool, no one dares to provoke, and the monsters within a radius of thousands of miles are all obeyed by him. ”

Li Mu was silent for a moment and said, "How powerful is he?" ”

Hu Yunniang said: "There was a master of the Jindan period who fought with him before, and was finally poisoned by him and left in embarrassment. Later, a few more monks came to destroy the demon, but he destroyed him, and after that, no one tried to provoke him again. ”

"So horizontal?"

Li Mu smiled: "Do you know when he came to Qinghe County to make trouble?" ”

Hu Yunniang said: "The specific date, the slave maid is not clear." ”

"For this kind of monster, you have to take the initiative to attack, and you can't wait for him to come to the door."

Li Mu got up and paced in the room, muttering for a moment: "I'll go and meet him tomorrow to see what kind of goods he is." ”

He waved Hu Yunniang out, took out a few steel figurines and plastic figurines, and smiled: "I want to see if this Black Water King is powerful, or Lao Tzu's puppet army!" ”
