Zhu Pinhang felt a little awkward when he saw the old woman's unusual enthusiasm, thinking that Huiyang County should not be a place with frequent visitors, why was she so enthusiastic when she saw strangers, without a trace of defense, and asked with some doubts, "Auntie, do you often have guests here?" You don't want to know where I come from, why did you come here?"

The old woman still had a sweet smile on her face, held Zhu Pinhang's wrist, and said kindly, "Few of us come here, but our residents here are very hospitable, you don't want to see outside, don't say anything else, drink a bowl of porridge to quench your thirst first."

Zhu Pinhang couldn't accept the old woman's enthusiasm, but he wouldn't drink her porridge, but he wouldn't take useless impurities because of politeness, so he kept shirking it, and he couldn't tell the old woman a result for a long time.

Zhang Xiao waited quietly on the side, wanting to see what useful information Zhu Pinhang could ask, but when he saw him and the old woman pushing me, he felt a little funny, and he didn't know what they were talking about, so he walked over to see if there was any problem.

Zhang Xiao came to Zhu Pinhang and saw him and the old woman holding a bowl of porridge and constantly pushing, so he asked Zhu Pinhang, "Ping'an, what are you doing here?

Zhu Pinhang was still being polite with the old woman at this time, and closed his mouth and whispered to Zhang Xiao, reminding, "She is too enthusiastic, she didn't answer anything, she just kept wanting me to drink porridge, you should think of a way." ”

Zhang Xiao looked at the old woman at this time, and felt that her appearance seemed to be overly enthusiastic, not only was he not surprised when he saw the stranger, but insisted that he drink his own porridge, could it be that this porridge is poisonous?

But Zhang Xiao found that this place was the same as usual, there was nothing wrong with it, maybe it was too remote here, so almost no one would visit, so the old woman would be so enthusiastic, seeing Zhu Pinhang so embarrassed, she hurriedly said to the old woman, "Auntie, thank you for your kindness, we don't drink it now, but can you tell me where the county government is?"

The old woman saw Zhang Xiao asking so simply, and said to him, "Young man, don't be so outsider, it must be very hard to come here, eat something to replenish your strength, these don't cost money." ”

Zhang Xiao is not in the mood to talk more with the old woman, now it is the top priority to find Beiyuan County to kill Yuan Li to avenge Zhang Yao, how can he have time to talk nonsense here, so he hurriedly said, "Really don't need it, do you know where the county government is? If you don't know, then we have to find it ourselves." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiao was not interested in her porridge at all, the old woman looked very lost, pointed in a direction, and said, "You go there, as long as you go to the back, you can see a house surrounded by a wall, where is the county government." ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zhu Pinhang hurriedly took off the old woman's hand and said politely, "Thank you, auntie, we still have something to do with the county order here, go to the county office first, and thank you when I come back." ”

At this time, the old woman had completely lost the enthusiasm just now, became lifeless, sat down in the seat of her stall, never looked at Zhang Xiao and Zhu Pinhang again, and did not say a word, Zhang Xiao and Zhu Pinhang looked at each other after seeing the old woman's appearance, I don't know if she was too unkind, which made her so down, but didn't she drink her porridge, there was no need to care so much, right? But now I can't care so much, and walk in the direction that the old woman pointed out.

On the way to walk, a little beggar on the side of the road, who was only a few years old, ran to the two of them and said pitifully, "Uncle, uncle, give me a copper plate, I haven't eaten for a long time." ”

Zhang Xiao was thinking about Beiyuan County at this time, how could he still be in the mood to care about such a child, so he walked straight to the county office, and Zhu Pinhang saw the little beggar and immediately recalled the hard days when he traveled with Zuo Ci, wasn't it the same as him at that time? But since he entered the stage of life extension, he no longer eats and drinks, and naturally has no weight, and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry little friend, my uncle has no money, you better go and ask others." ”

The little beggar saw that Zhang Xiao and Zhu Pinhang were unwilling to give him money, so he had to run to other places, and soon ran into an alley, Zhu Pinhang looked at the back of the little beggar and sighed very emotionally, what is the difference between this and when he was a child?

But Zhu Pinhang suddenly felt that something was wrong, the old woman just now was so enthusiastic, why didn't she give this little beggar some porridge to drink? There are few people here, even if it is not a problem to adopt him, he immediately carefully observed the surroundings here, how can he always feel that there is something strange here.

I saw that there were all shops around, and the bosses looked so kind, looking at him enthusiastically, which made Zhu Pinhang feel uncomfortable, as if everyone was looking at him, as if he was looking at something he had never seen before.

Zhu Pinhang looked at all the houses and realized that something was really wrong here, all the people here had opened shops and were waiting for customers to come, but how could there be customers in such a remote place, and how did they live for so long? Where did the goods sold in their shops come from? Since everyone here is doing business, why not go out and do business with people in other towns?

Zhu Pinhang had more and more questions at this time, it can be said that there are all kinds of incomprehensible questions, it seems that he has to find out what the officials here are to understand and see what is wrong with this county, so he chased Zhang Xiao at a trot.

Zhu Pinhang asked a little anxiously beside Zhang Xiao, "Zhang Xiao, don't you think this place is very strange, do you want to investigate it first and then make the next step?"

Zhang Xiao continued to walk forward and replied, "What else are you investigating? We won't stay here for a long time, whether the county magistrate here knows the location of Beiyuan County or not, I will finish asking and leave, and now it is the top priority to find Beiyuan County." ”

Zhu Pinhang saw that Zhang Xiao's attitude was so tough, and he didn't talk much, followed him to the county office, and when he came to the county office, he found that it was really luxurious, and he saw that there were a large number of landscape trees outside the walls of the county office, which looked like a palace courtyard.

However, there was no one here, Zhang Xiao and Zhu Pinhang observed carefully for a while, and walked straight inside, just in time to see a person wearing a fast trapping costume sweeping the floor, so they hurriedly asked.

Zhang Xiao ran to the catcher and said anxiously, "This friend, may I ask, where is your county order now?" I have something I want to ask, and I am tired of reporting it." ”

Seeing someone behind him, he slowly turned around and said with a smile on his face, "The contemptible person is the county magistrate here, I don't know what the little brother is called, I don't know why he came here?"

Zhu Pinhang also came to the person in front of him at this time, and looked at the person in front of him in the same surprise as Zhang Xiao, and asked with some disbelief, "Are you the county magistrate here?" Then why are you wearing the clothes of the catcher, if you let the division know, not only will you not be an official, but the next three generations will not want to be an official. ”

Seeing Zhu Pinhang say this, he explained: "Two little brothers, since you have all come here, you must have also seen the scale of this county, do you think there are many residents here? I am the only one in the county government now, and all the official positions are held by me, which is also something that the division knows. ”

After listening to what Wang County Decree said, Zhu Pinhang's first reaction was not to believe it, this county itself is full of weirdness, and so are the residents here, I can't imagine that this county order is also, it seems that it is really a long time to see, this county must have some secrets.

Zhu Pinhang has traveled around for decades and has seen many strange things, and suddenly has a strong affection for this place, so he said to Zhang Xiao, "Zhang Xiao, you can handle it here alone, I'll go and see elsewhere." ”

After Zhang Xiao answered Zhu Pinhang, Zhu Pinhang returned to the original way, wanted to take a look at the street, and found out the reason why the residents here were strange.

When Zhang Xiao saw Zhu Pinhang leaving, he didn't pay much attention to it, and finding out Beiyuan County was the key, so he said to Wang County Commander, "Lord County Commander, named Zhang Xiao, is about to go to Beiyuan County, but I don't know its specific location, I just want to ask when I pass through here, I don't know if you know." ”

Wang Xian Ling continued to smile and replied, "Of course I know about Beiyuan County, this is a subsidiary county of Beiyuan County, I naturally know where it is located, but it is now a military town, not ordinary people will go, I don't know what reason you want to go there, if you don't make it clear, I can't tell you." ”
