Seeing that the other party didn't want to say, Tang asked in vain, so he accepted the appointment very embarrassed.

"What kind of expression is Lord Tang, it's not a bad thing to say," Governor Song glanced at Tang Li angrily and said, "Now you are the official of the imperial court, wearing a scarlet robe, eating royal food, and you are so young, your future is limitless, why do you look sad." ”

"Is there any? It's just a surprise that I don't know how to express," Tang Li replied with a bitter face.

It turned out that the award document of the Imperial Department this time was to let Tang Li go to Fucheng to take up the prison, that is, to be in charge of the prison prison in one prefecture and twelve counties, it stands to reason that this is a fat difference, which one in prison does not want to live comfortably in the cell, so filial piety is definitely indispensable.

But can Tang Li fancy that little money?

The point is that once he takes office, he has to leave Qisong Town and go to Fucheng.

What kind of place is Fucheng, big and small officials grab a handful, he is a small Jipin, there are too many people who can manage him, and the relationship is complicated, if you don't get it right, you will offend people, far from being comfortable as a judge in Qisong Town,—— three days and a little Mao, the yamen is like his own backyard, how comfortable those days are.

However, the book has already come down, and refusing to refuse will inevitably offend the master of the imperial book, the problem is that the envoy Song still refuses to say who that person is, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to come to the door to give gifts and change positions, can he be happy?

"I can't help it," Inspector Song didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, "Okay, the official seal and official robe are here for you, whether you go or not, the official has to rush back to the house to eat dumplings, no need to send them." ”

"Lord Song, wait," Tang Li hurriedly called out to Governor Song, "The lowly job has also prepared some dumplings, which are the way to eat in the hometown of the lowly job, Haisan fresh filling, sea cucumber, dried scallops, shrimp, if you don't dislike it, please bring some back to taste." ”

"Hmm, this is the first time I've heard of it, and since that's the case, then thank you Lord Tang for your kindness," Lord Song said in his heart, your kid finally has a little conscience.

The dumplings Tang Li had already ordered someone to wrap them, and waited for the pot to be put in the pot at night, so he just took some and packed them in a food box, and put a jade Ruyi inlaid with gems on the bottom layer, which was handed over to Lord Song, and watched the three thunder leopards leave Qisong Town.

Looking at the priceless Lei Leopard, Tang Li couldn't help but sigh secretly, alas, compared with others, he is really still a poor man, even if he sells all his belongings, he can't afford to buy one of Lei Leopard's legs.

Seven days later, on the day of leaving Qisong Town, the officials and people of the county came to see each other off.

Although this Tang lord has not been in the county for a long time, he has done several great things for the people, among which the five hundred stone of grain saved is enough for the people of the county to have a good year.

Before leaving, Tang Li returned the house to Wang Xianling, and this Qing official's family background was really shabby, and he was usually not thin on him.

Second, the house will not be sold for a while.

Thirdly, the second lady made Niu Tou Ma Mian so frightened that she didn't get up for half a month, and it was all due to medical expenses.

Fourth, Cuilian and Biyu were asked for by him, and of course he wouldn't do the loss-making business.

In addition, he didn't take all the maids, servants, and nurses with him, everyone who had children in the family stayed, and gave a severance pay, and the rest were willing to follow, Tang Li took them to Fucheng and Nantian City.

However, Tang Li didn't have any thunder leopards that traveled thousands of miles a day, so it would take at least three days to reach Nantian City.

And the dozen or so officials headed by Liu Zhutou reported that they were bravely responsible for the safety of Lord Tang's trip, and Tang Prison did not refuse.

Qisong Town is 400 miles away from Nantian City, and from the official road all the way to the east, it will pass through two counties and four villages, so there is no need to worry about accommodation, just be afraid of encountering some people who don't know each other.

Fortunately, after a day of roading, there was no danger, and the next day the sun set and went out of Shangyang Village, and when passing through the woods of Guanyang Road, a group of green forest people who wanted money and did not want their lives held torches and carried knives to kill.

"I opened this road, and I planted this tree,......。 ”

Before the words fell, Tang Li picked up the curtain of the carriage with a thousand sticks in his hand, and jumped off the carriage, the monk he was not an opponent, but he still had some confidence in dealing with some green forest bandits who could not be put on the table.

When the bandits saw a young man in a Taoist robe who got off the carriage, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then saw the stick in his hand shining in the firelight, not like an ordinary thing, and their hearts suddenly chuckled.

"That...... Who is this good man, and why are you blocking our way?" asked the big-faced bandit with some fear.

"What?" Tang was stunned, and was almost angry after reacting.

He said in his heart that there were people who were even more shameless than himself, and an evil fire burst out immediately, "You are all carrying knives and sticks, and you are clearly bandits blocking the road, and you even have the face to ask why we are blocking your way?"

"We are all farmers from the neighboring village, and the guys in our hands are all used to chop wood to drive away tigers and leopards, and you all carry steel knives, so you don't look like good people. The bandit leader quibbled.

All the people were dressed in civilian clothes, and the bandits knew that this was an official errand.

"Hehe, good, good," Tang Li said three 'good' words in a row, "Today's official is considered to be a long insight, let me ask you, what does the sentence just now 'I opened this road, and I planted this tree'?"

"Of course, it's our local mountain song, which can be sung by three-year-olds, what's wrong with that?" said the bandit leader with an innocent face.

Seeing that Tang Li's face turned red with anger, Liu Zhutou hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists, "My lord, these bandits are messing around, and they are willing to take down these thieves for your lordship." ”

Those bandits knew that they had crashed into an official car, and a group of people looked at each other, pulled their legs and ran, jumping faster than rabbits, and disappeared in an instant.

"A group of rabble," Tang Li waved his hand, "That's it, it's important to hurry, and strive to reach Baisong Town before the third watch." ”

Everyone didn't understand why Tang Li had to sleep during the day and hurry at night, this black light was blinding, even if they didn't meet bandits, they would be enough to drink a pot of jackals, tigers and leopards.

However, Lord Tang asked for this, and they didn't dare to ask anything, so they continued to hurry.

Before he could walk five miles, he could only hear the wind gusting around, like a ghost crying wolf, the men were fine, a few maids were huddled in the carriage, they were already trembling with fright, and they couldn't help complaining in their hearts that the old man was perverted, and he had to seek some stimulation.

Tang Li lifted the curtains of the car, and asked, "What is this place?"

"There is a ruined temple not far ahead, it should be Miaoziling," Liu replied.

"Miaoziling?" Tang Li muttered.

"Yes, it used to be a village, and then the village was slaughtered by bandits, and it became a mass grave, I heard that because there are too many people who died unjustly, this place is often haunted, and it can be better during the day, and no one dares to walk this road at night, and the broken temple was later built to suppress those unjust souls. Liu Zhutou said.
