After eating and drinking, Sima Liang returned to the carriage. He looked at the coachman still nibbling on steamed buns, and was a little surprised.

"Why do you still eat steamed buns, didn't you give you a lot? Is this still reluctant? ”

The coachman smiled awkwardly.

"I can't help it. After turning around, I found that they were all so expensive. So let's nibble on steamed buns. Let's return this money to the prince. ”

The coachman took out the broken silver from his pocket and handed it back to Sima Liang.

"Take it, I'll reward you. How you spend it is your business. Have you eaten enough? I'm leaving. ”

"Thank you. That's enough, let's go. The coachman stuffed the money into his pocket again, and then helped Sima Liang into the carriage.

Circling back to the east of the city, Sima Liang came to Rongfu.

This time, he pounced on an empty space. Rongyang is not at home. Instead, he went to the east shore of the South Lake.

"Lord Wang, where are you going next?" The coachman asked.

Sima Liang thought for a moment. The main thing he had at the moment was to wait for a reply. The rest is to find Rongyang, just talk to someone next time, not very anxious.

It's too far to go to Nanhu, tossing back and forth, and you may not be able to eat dinner. Let's find something to do nearby.

By the way, the red-haired ghost can go and see it. The county government is in the east of the city, ask a few words, and you can go back earlier.

"Let's go to the county office."

"It's the prince."

After a bump, Sima Liang came to the county office.

After the appropriation of the royal government, the dilapidated part of the county government was repaired a little, and it looked less miserable.

Still unattended, Sima Liang swaggered into the yamen.

"Anyone? Lord Yan Wang is here. ”

"It's coming, it's coming." The old man ran out of the next room.

"Lord Yanwang, it's neglected. I'll make you tea. ”

"No need. What about the red-haired ghost? Is it still there? I'm mainly here to ask them what the situation is. ”

"They're behind the yamen. It's not very clear below, so you can ask. Among the red-haired ghosts, there is a person who can communicate. The teacher replied.

"Okay, I'll take a look." As he spoke, Sima Liang walked to the backyard. But after a few steps, a teenager came out of the next room.

"Master Xu, is the prince here?"

The old man hurriedly ran to the young man's side and patted the other party's head.

"It's not big or small, you have to call Lord Yanwang."

The boy scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, you're Lord Yanwang. Thank you. ”

Sima Liang looked at the young man with some doubts.

"Why are you thanking me. I don't know you. ”

"If you help the county government, you help us. Before learning words, it took a long time to have paper copying. It can be used a lot more times now. Naturally, it's your credit. ”

Sima Liang glanced at Master Xu. Then the other person nodded.

"Well, then I'll take your thanks. Do many of you learn words here? ”

"There are twelve of them today. It's not fixed, after all, some people have jobs at home and can't come every day. The boy replied methodically.

The young man who looks like a little adult makes Sima Liang feel a little good.

"What's your name?"

"Two dogs." The teenager replied.

Syllable.

Master Xu smacked at the back of the young man's head.

"A name, not a nickname."

"I'm sorry master, I forgot." The boy scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Lord Yanwang, my name is Fang Baiming, which means to distinguish between black and white, and know right from wrong."

Sima Liang thought the name was quite interesting. He glanced at Master Xu, who was slightly proud.

"Master Xu took it."

"Yes, Lord Yan is amazing." Fang Baiming replied.

The master glanced at Fang Baiming, and then bowed.

"This kid hasn't been taught for long, and he is a little rude. There is a lot of offense, I hope the prince will not go to his heart. ”

"It's okay, there is no taboo in children's words. I don't care about anything with my kids. By the way, Master Xu, come here, I have something to tell you. Sima Liang stretched out his hand to beckon Master Xu to his side.

"I intend to build a academy here, of course, it doesn't cost money. Specifically, you can talk to Feng Qi. He is probably picking a place, and when the time comes, you can help find a teacher, and by the way, find a child of the right age who is willing to learn, and send it in. In the future, there will be no need to engage in private learning in this county office. ”

Hearing Sima Liang's words, Master Xu had joys and sorrows, which was very complicated.

Happily, the child can learn formally, and sadly, the last thing he can do on his own is gone.

"What is good for the child will definitely be done in the future. Here, for the children who helped, I would like to thank the prince in advance. ”

Sima Liang patted Master Xu on the shoulder.

"I won't drink the tea, you can get busy. I'm going to see the red-haired ghosts first. ”

"Yes, lord."

Sima Liang walked through the court and came to the backyard of the county government.

It's a lot more dilapidated than before. Thinking that the façade has been hollowed out by the county government, these places that cannot be seen can naturally be saved. After taking two steps, Sima Liang heard the sound of someone communicating.

Listening to the grunting nonsense, he understood that it was a red-haired ghost.

Sima Liang walked to the door and knocked.

"Anyone?"

"Here we are." The door was opened, and the prefectural order stepped out of it.

The other party was wearing an old official uniform and holding a booklet in his hand. It looks like he's asking.

"Lord Yanwang, why are you here?" Seeing Sima Liang, the county commander was very surprised.

Sima Liang glanced at the fact that there were no other county officials inside, and was a little curious.

"Why do you do the work of interrogation, and there are only people left?"

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment. Then I was a little embarrassed to say.

"All the people below have gone to find your maids. It's not ordinary, it's nothing, so naturally it's sent out. ”

Sima Liang didn't expect it to have something to do with him. But when I thought of Xiao Yao, I became inexplicably sad.

"Trouble, my question. You can call people back. I'll find someone to find it myself. If you have a rumor here, just report it. Although there are not many things to do in the county, if something really happens, no one is also a trouble. ”

"It's the prince." The prefectural order answered.

"By the way, what are you here for? Is there something going on? ”

Sima Liang shook his head, then pointed to the inside of the room.

"I want to know something about the red-haired ghosts."

The county magistrate opened the booklet in his hand and handed it to Sima Liang.

These are some of the things I asked below, and although I don't know if it's true or not, it can also be used as a reference. If you have the information you want, it's good, if not, you can go in and ask. ”

Sima Liang picked up the booklet and read it.

After a long time, he closed the booklet and returned it to the county magistrate.

"Alright, I know about it. But there is something else I want to ask. One of them can communicate with it. ”

"Yes, my lord." The prefectural order answered.

Sima Liang walked into the room, and then the pungent smell came. He frowned, then looked inside.

In the small room, there were seven or eight people.

Most of these people have yellow to reddish hair, and some have black hair. In terms of eyes, only one is blue-eyed, and the rest are black-eyed.

Although most of them are very large, their faces look bad, and they probably don't eat and drink very well. The clothes are also very tattered. Some people's shoes are broken. Coupled with the sloppy appearance, Sima Liang suspected that these people hadn't taken a bath for a long time.

"Is that all these people? It's not enough to drive a boat. Sima Liang glanced at the county order.

"More than ......"

"And some of them are in dungeons, because there aren't so many people living on them." A slightly strange voice came.

Sima Liang glanced at the speaker. He looked up and down. Then he discovered a strange place. That is, the other party's pectoral muscles are abnormally developed.

Perhaps sensing the gaze, the speaker covered the figure of Wei An.

"I'm a woman, but I voice a little like a man."

Sima Liang showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect this burly strong man to be a woman.

"It's rude, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's not once or twice." There was helplessness in the woman's tone.

Sima Liang sat down on his own, and then motioned for the woman to sit down.

"What's your name?"

"Norma Calle." The woman replied.

"Then I'll call you Norma."

"Yes."

Sima Liang felt that this woman named Norma had an extraordinary bearing. And he can speak his own language, and he is likely to be a leader, or the identity of a scholar.

If this is the case, this group of people does not match the things recorded in the county order book, and there is a high probability that there are ghosts.

"You came to Lebanon to do business?"

"Yes, it's a pity that the goods were looted and there was nothing left." Norma replied.

Sima Liang smiled.

"What goods did you bring with you? Maybe I can help you get it back. ”
