strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 36 [Drowsy at night, lost child]

At this moment, the county magistrate seemed to be tired from arguing with the people, and it seemed that he just remembered the business, he was going to be raised for interrogation.

As a result, he didn't do any other business, and was just busy talking to people...

Immediately, the reckless bastard's face turned red, and he obviously felt that he couldn't bear it, so he slapped the gavel viciously, and deliberately pretended to be fierce: "Shut up, I don't have the time to marry your wife today."

When the common people saw him showing off his power, they all quieted down. Although teasing the young county magistrate is very interesting, at least one must know how to be a man and accept it when he is happy.

After all, he is a dignified county magistrate, so he can't really be offended.

But seeing the county magistrate's bright eyes, he felt that the official authority had overwhelmed the people, and he was satisfied with it, so he was inevitably a little complacent.

But this time he finally didn't mess up again, but started talking about the first business thing of the day.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he reached into his pocket and took out a document, and said loudly: "Before this promotion, I have to read out a county report, which involves the appointment and dismissal of officials. I hope you will know about it."

While speaking, he unfolded the document, but looked at Zhang Jingxu, and said loudly again: "Today, Zhang Jingxu, the head of the Yicheng County Government, is here. People from Zhangjia Village, [-] miles away from the county, have opened the door of practice and set foot on the road bestowed by God... ..."

"People who have awakened since ancient times are all guarded by the human race. According to the laws of Yun Kingdom, the benefits are as follows."

"If he is recruited by the Divine Family Mansion, it will be entered in the book of the Divine Family Mansion."

"If he voluntarily joins the imperial court, he will be promoted to a local official."

"Thus, although Zhang Jingxu is temporarily in charge of arresting the head, his rank is among the officials of the Yun Kingdom. Moreover, those who practice cultivation are willing to be officials, and they can enjoy the extra salary stipulated by the Yun Kingdom."

"The reading of the Fanxian County Proclamation today is the official certificate stamped by the Ministry of Officials: Zhang Jingxu of Yicheng, the official salary is from the eighth rank, within the Yicheng County Yamen, and only falls on the county magistrate, county magistrate and county lieutenant."

When the county magistrate read this, his fingers stuck to his mouth, which was obviously a habitual vice, and he liked to use his fingers to saliva when turning the pages of the book.

He continued to recite the County Proclamation:
"However, Zhang Jingxu has the right to listen or not to listen to things involving ghosts and monsters. And when he exercises his power, his rank will be promoted to three levels, which is equivalent to the county magistrate of Yicheng and the priest of the Shenjuan Mansion..."

This report by the Ministry of Officials explained why Zhang Jingxu was qualified to sit in the courtroom.

However, because the words were too official, many people at the gate could not understand them, so they whispered to each other subconsciously.

And once there are too many whispering voices, they will also become buzzing and noisy when gathered together.

The county magistrate was furious at once, and in an instant he revealed his true nature, yelling, "Male, what are you talking about? I've known it for a long time, and you sons of bitches must not understand."

"Put your ears up now, I will tell you again!"

"Catcher Zhang, he is an official because he is special..."

"understand?"

"He's an official!"

"Although his official rank is only eighth rank, he has special privileges when handling cases, and his power can be promoted to three ranks in a row, which is as high as this official, the magistrate of Yicheng County."

"At the same time, it is as tall as the priests in the Yicheng Divine Family Mansion."

"Now, do you grandchildren understand? If you still don't understand, go home and get some milk..."

The county magistrate cursed and cursed, but the people understood it.

Suddenly, everyone suddenly realized, and looked at Zhang Jingxu with different eyes.

Incredible wow!

This head catcher turned out to be a practitioner.

Good news, happy news, great news!

He should be an official.

He can be an official.

He is qualified to be an official.

Because the world here is dangerous at night, the people of the lower class lack a sense of security. The fear inherited from ancient times has been deeply rooted in their bones.

We all know that evil spirits are rampant at night.

Only practitioners can take shelter.

However, in the entire Yicheng County, there used to be only one priest in the Shenjuan Mansion.Although the priest worked very hard to protect the people, his ability alone was somewhat limited.

For example, the year before last, a tragedy occurred in a village outside the city. A thick fog enveloped the entire village, and more than ninety people died overnight.

On that same night, a ferocious ghost also appeared in a deserted tomb in the west of the city, and for some reason, the ferocious ghost wanted to rush into Yicheng like crazy.

The two places were dangerous at the same time, and the priest could only protect one place. For the more than 1 people in the city, he had no choice but to give up the village outside the city.

Very miserable!

It is said that the servants sent to collect the corpse the next day were all terrified.

There were only about a hundred people in that village, and more than 90 people died in just one night, which is almost equivalent to destroying the village, or it is no different from destroying the village.

There are actually many examples like this in Yicheng County.

Whenever the night is dangerous, especially when two or three places appear at the same time, the priest has no choice but to give up one place.

And giving up means someone dies.

This is the suffering of this world, any county is like this, the people of Yicheng are considered good, at least they have a priest who is willing to work hard.

But there is only one priest, which always makes people feel insecure. Maybe one day two dangers will appear at the same time, and maybe the one who was abandoned by the priest at that time is himself...

Fortunately, God opened his eyes.

Finally, in their small county of Yicheng, there was another practitioner.

Because the people in this world are deeply infested by danger, they have a natural respect for practitioners. When they looked at Zhang Jingxu, their eyes already contained strong expectations...

New practitioners.

Our own practitioners in Yicheng County.

With him as the head of the county government, will our life be much better than before?
……

The reckless nature of the county magistrate is impatient with everything, especially when he is still a 17-year-old boy and is at the most frizzy time.

So when he finished reading the county report, he immediately threw the paperwork aside, and then, his eyeballs began to glisten with excitement.

He is about to start the trial!

Regarding the case of Tofu Sunjiazhuang, this guy has no interest in going to trial at all. The four murderers are just criminals. They can just go through the motions and convict them directly. Anyway, the matter has been investigated by Chief Zhang, so he can't afford to have a retrial in court...

That felt both boring and annoying.

But this guy was excited and looking forward to another case.

Early in the morning, someone beat the yaqian drum, and it was said that it was a weeping woman, hehe, this matter was either interesting or very interesting.

But if it's just fun, this guy wouldn't look forward to it, at most he would feel a little excited, and he could talk to the little girls during the trial.

What really made him look forward to it was the merit that Zhang Jingxu gave him in the back house of the county government. Ever since he got that bit of merit, all he could think about was ghosts harming people.

So he is very eager now, hoping that this will be the case for the report.

If it is really a ghost that harms people.

The county magistrate dispatched Uncle Zhang...

Wait until it's resolved!

Hey, I can share some merits again.

……

The magistrate of a county holds great power, and he can try whichever case he wants to try first.

So soon I saw a woman with red eyes from crying being led to the court by the yamen servants.

Snapped!
The county magistrate slapped the gavel.

It's a pity that before he could open his mouth, the woman below had knelt down and cried loudly: "Master Qingtian, please save me, send the yamen servants to catch the abductees, send the yamen servants to catch the abductees..."

With just this opening, many people have guessed about this case in their hearts.

Sure enough, the woman continued to wail, crying like crazy: "The woman's child is lost, the woman's child is lost, magistrate, please catch the abductee and save her..."

Lost a child?

The magistrate frowned.

I was a little disappointed in my heart.

It's common for urchins to get lost, and it happens occasionally for rogues in the market.

But whether it is a naughty boy who gets lost by himself, or a rogue in the market who abducts and sells them, these are all cases involving people, not ghosts harming people.

Since ghosts are not involved in harming people, there is no merit to be gained.

The county magistrate was inevitably disappointed.

It's just that although this guy was disappointed, he didn't lose interest. Instead, he nodded solemnly, ready to open his mouth and agree to send a yamen servant to investigate.

This kind of trivial matter is definitely not worth using Zhang Butou...

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, the women in the hall continued to wail, and when they were crying loudly, they said something else.

"My doll is very good, my doll is very good, she won't run around by herself, she won't run around by herself."

"I slept with my arms around her last night, and when I woke up, the child was gone, gone."

"I was very attentive when I took care of the children. I would wake up if there was any movement, but last night, I didn't wake up all night..."

"My baby is very good. She must not get up and get lost by herself."

"There must be a kidnapper who sneaked into my house, drugged me, and made me fall asleep. So I didn't wake up, and they stole my child."

These words are long-winded, and it seems that the preface is inconsistent. A mother suddenly loses her child, and it is inevitable for a long time.

But at this moment, no matter the county magistrate, Zhang Jingxu, or even the county magistrate and county lieutenant, all felt a thump in their hearts.

at night?

Sleeping with the baby in your arms?
When you wake up in the morning, you find that your child is gone?
Which kidnapper has the guts to steal a child at night when it is dangerous.

This thing, I'm afraid it's unusual!
