At this time, someone from the yamen also came, and hurriedly told Nan Xiutong that the messenger had sent a letter, and the emperor was coming to Wu County, and according to the time in the letter, the emperor would arrive today.

Nan Xiutong raised his hand and waved: "Follow me to catch demons, not one will be left!" ”

In the wind and snow, a group of catchers rushed to the market with a shout, and used all their courage to catch the snake spirit on the street who twisted their waists to hook up with mortals, and the little fox who stole cakes behind the baked cake stall......

Suddenly, chickens and dogs jumped on the street, and it was impossible to tell whether people were running or demons were fleeing.

"Wow, ah, I was wrong, don't drive me away!" The fox demon looked like he was seven or eight years old, wearing children's clothes, the red fox tail was anxiously sweeping the snow on the ground, holding the kneading table with both hands, crying bitterly, "I haven't eaten the baked cake yet......

The stall owner silently handed over the baked cake, the little fox's eyes lit up, he grabbed the baked cake with both hands, the stall owner moved the table, and Nan Xiutong took the opportunity to pick up the little fox's tail and threw it behind him.

"Ahh

The monster in the sack struggled desperately, unable to walk an inch, and the sack on his back seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The wild demons in the alley did not know the seriousness of the matter, and changed back to their original form to tease and hunt quickly, sometimes rising from the rooftops, sometimes burrowing into the snow, chirping and chirping very noisily.

Nan Xiutong's forehead was bruised, and he grabbed a vole spirit and threw it into the sky: "Get out of here-"

*

A huge crowd came from the city gates, the guards opened the way, and the people avoided it.

Xiao Jingheng walked behind his hands unhurriedly, and the imperial history and Taoist priests followed.

The county magistrate walked sideways, nodded his head, and looked flattering: "Weichen received the letter, pinched his fingers, Your Majesty will definitely be able to arrive today, and immediately put down the file and wait at the city gate, for fear of missing Your Majesty." ”

Yushi looked down on him: "Flim flamboyant." ”

"The Maya prince Daowu County catcher colluded with the demon, harmed the people, and provoked the relationship between Maya and our dynasty, I ordered the Lord Lian to investigate the matter thoroughly, but the people had different opinions, and the catch was quick and flickering, and even the demon catcher hired by the Lord failed to prove that the man was a rabbit demon, if the Maya Prince lied, no, if he said that everything was true, there was no evidence." Xiao Jingheng gushed endlessly.

"I came this time to inspect the border city and communicate with the subject countries; the second is to enjoy the scenery of the border city; The third is to personally investigate the matter. If there is no official demon collusion to harm people, I will return your innocence, if there is a ......" Xiao Jingheng smiled and strode forward, "Cao Xianling has also been in the county government for more than ten years, right?" ”

When it comes to his black yarn hat, the county order can't speak: "This, this, this...... Your Majesty, you also know that Wuxian County is the junction of the subject country and our dynasty, and it is also the rumored junction of yin and yang, and it is inevitable that there will be inhuman things in the mountains. Weichen guarantees that there will be no monsters running rampant in Wu County, and there will be no people in the county government who will destroy human nature and raise demons to harm people! ”

At the end, the county magistrate said, "We're already recruiting a new demon catcher!" It's just that the treatment here is not as good as that of the big city, so most of the capable demon hunters have gone up......"

"Are there no youkai in the castle?" Xiao Jingheng glanced around regretfully.

The county order swore an oath: "Absolutely nothing!" ”

"Come out, don't force me to strip you naked!" The woman scolded sharply, attracting the attention of Xiao Jingheng and others.

Nan Xiutong stood at the mouth of the alley, pulling a child's arm hard, and a group of people gathered around to watch the excitement.

Her voice was violent, and she pulled the hand out with all her might.

"This is ......," Xiao Jingheng wanted to take a closer look.

The county commander immediately stepped forward, stood in front of Xiao Jingheng, smiled stiffly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! That's the head catcher in the county government, and she is helping the people solve problems! ”

Nan Xiutong followed the voice and saw that the county commander came with a group of people, and his heart was anxious.

The child with a chicken mouth in front of him struggled hard, shouting "let go of me", Nan Xiutong pounced over to cover his mouth and pressed him against the wall: "Don't shout! ”

"It's a child's voice, what's going on? Check it out. As soon as Xiao Jingheng's inquiry came out, the guards immediately evacuated the crowd and brought Yu Shi over.

Seeing that group of people getting closer and closer, Nan Xiutong's heart jumped to his throat, and he didn't know where to throw this little demon.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and the child turned into a pheasant in the struggle.

When the guards who opened the road saw this scene, they stopped talking, and the imperial history who came up with them also choked up, and silently gave Xiao Jingheng a place.

Xiao Jingheng saw Nan Xiutong holding a pheasant, the pheasant fluttered its wings, and made a sharp cry in its mouth, and was a little puzzled: "Huh? ”

The county magistrate on the side breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, this is the head of the south catching chickens!" ”

"Catch chickens? Are you still responsible for catching chickens? Xiao Jingheng found it interesting.

"The head catcher is not responsible for catching chickens, but is responsible for finding the lost chickens, Nan Zhutou is a warm-hearted girl, seeing the people asking for help, she will not turn a blind eye, this is not, come to help catch chickens!"

"It's a pheasant."

"Domestic pheasants!"

Yushi hesitated: "The minister obviously saw a child. ”

"This pheasant is very fierce, pecking at the child, and the child is scared away!" The county order opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Xiao Jingheng asked Nan Xiutong: "Is that so?" ”

Nan Xiutong glanced at the county order and nodded: "Not only catch chickens, but also catch snakes and mice." ”

Xiao Jingheng laughed: "You are a girl, you are more powerful than those men." I remember that there is only one female catcher in Wu County, and it is the one that Prince Maya said is raising demons, right? ”

Nan Xiutong knelt down "poof", still holding the neck of the chicken in his hand: "Your Majesty, I don't raise demons in my humble position, and I won't connive at demons to harm innocent people. ”

The county order added in a tragic tone: "Her master is Xing Zhutou, who died heroically back then, in exchange for the current peace of Wu County, His Majesty also gave him the title." ”

There were too many people who died for the court, and Xiao Jingheng didn't remember it at all.

He nodded and said with a smile, "It's different from what Prince Maya said." ”

The county order strikes while the iron is hot: "The road knows the horsepower remotely, and the hearts of the people will be seen over time." Prince Maya has only met Xiao Nan a few times, so naturally he doesn't know her as well as the people. She is kind and enthusiastic, even the demons in the mountains can listen to her reasoning, to say that there are demons in our Wu County but do not see the demons to make trouble, it is more her credit, an honest and kind heart, can shake all things! ”

"You're a good talker."

"Your Majesty has won the award, Weichen governs the county with Huai Rou, I believe that the truth can move people, if you are stupid, how can you convince the people?" The county magistrate said with a dry mouth, and he couldn't say anything more, so he quickly changed the conversation, "If Your Majesty doesn't feel tired, do you want to go and see the Oiran performance?" This is a major feature of our Wu County! ”

When it comes to Oiran, Xiao Jingheng thinks of Su Jingtang who picks flowers in the snow.

A smile appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Nan Xiutong: "Nan Zhutou, Cao County's order said that the people trust you, and you are also a warm-hearted person, how much do you know about the people in this city?" ”

Nan Xiutong just put the pheasant into the sack that was smaller, and when she heard the words, she glanced at the county order, and the county order signaled her to express herself more.

"Back to Your Majesty, I will take my companions to walk the streets and alleys almost every day to help the people solve problems, so most of them know it, and some of them can remember their faces without being named." Nanxiu Tong is respectful.

"Then do you recognize a young girl, wearing an apricot dress, a white cloak, holding a yellow flower in her hand, and looking very smart?"

This description is too general, and Nan Xiutong is a little embarrassed: "There are many such girls, and I can't remember which ones are lowly for a while." ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and the image of Su Jingtang handing her a plum branch flashed in her mind.

Su Jingtang is also dressed like this today, but she is holding a red plum blossom in her hand...... It can't be her, right?
