Leisurely cultivating life

Chapter 84 Qingpo County

Outside Yonggu County.

Zhou Fan stood in front of a huge tombstone.

A head with wide-eyed eyes stood under the tombstone, and next to it was the incense paper money found in the ruins, and the three animals and pastries were also arranged one by one.

"Life is so fragile sometimes, the dead rest in peace, and the living are like this!" Zhou Fan looked at the silent Lou Yehua and comforted him.

"There is no justice in racial disputes! In the future, when we encounter monster races, we will also be ruthless."

"I understand, senior brother." Lou Yehua said lightly.

"Just understand, let's go. Let's go and report such a big incident here. If we are faster, we should be able to catch up with Qingpo County before dark."

Qingpo County was originally Zhou Fan's next stop, who would have expected this to happen.

"Senior Brother Lou, let's go." Zhen Depang shouted from the side.

Lou Yehua took a deep look at the large tomb, then turned and walked towards the people on the official road.

Galloping all the way, they encountered several villages on the way, but Zhou Fan and the others did not stop.

Daxia administrative division, states, prefectures, counties, towns, villages.

It's just that the royal power of Daxia only goes down to the town level, and the real administrative power is still in the county seat.

Just as the Golden Crow was falling to the west, Zhou Fan and others rushed to Qingpo County.

After entering the city, I asked about the location of the county government office, and went straight to the county government office.

It was almost dark when we came to the county government gate.

Facing the yamen servants guarding both sides of the gate of the county yamen, Zhou Fan cupped his hands and said, "My disciple Zhou Fan, Yuxu's disciple, I have something important to see your county magistrate, please inform me."

Seeing that Zhou Fan and the others were dressed in extraordinary clothes, the yamen servant did not dare to neglect, and quickly turned around and entered the backyard of the county yamen. County magistrates usually live in the backyard of the county yamen for the convenience of work.

"Ah~"

Yu Tianhe stretched his waist. As the county magistrate of Qingpo, he was quite diligent. He had been busy all day today and dealt with a murder case.

"Master, why is it so late today?" Yu Tianhe's married wife asked curiously while taking off his official uniform.

"Hey, I am willing to be your master, isn't this a murder case!" Yu Tianhe said depressedly.

"Master Qi, there is someone asking to see you ahead." At this time, someone from outside the door came to report.

"What's the matter again, can you still let me live a peaceful life for a day!!" Yu Tianhe said with his forehead, "Let him in."

"Yes."

"Tell me, what happened again?" Yu Tianhe stared at the yamen servant in front of him with an unkind expression.

The yamen servant secretly groaned inwardly, and hurriedly said, "My lord, there is someone from outside the county yamen asking to see you, saying that we have something important to meet."

"No more?" Yu Tianhe looked like you were teasing me, "That's all?"

"Ah Gui, take care. All cats and dogs are brought to this county. Has that person revealed his identity?"

"Yes, he said he was a disciple of Yuxu, his name was Zhou Fan."

"Ma'am, quickly bring me your husband's official uniform!" Yu Tianhe said urgently.

"Master, what..."

"quick!!!"

Yu Tianhe, who put on his official uniform, hurried to the front yard.

When he saw a few figures standing outside the county office, Yu Tianhe hurriedly said loudly, "Oh, I said why are magpies chirping again today, so there are distinguished guests."

As the sixth-rank county magistrate of Daxia, he is very aware of the weight of the words 'disciple of Yuxu'.

As for whether someone was pretending to be someone, Yu Tianhe felt that anyone who knew Kunlun Yuxu would not dare to have that thought.

"Xiaguan Qingpo County Magistrate Yu Tianhe, Wang Haihan is neglected, please come in and talk about it."

"Magistrate Yu is being polite, I'm just here to report one thing." Zhou Fan said flatly.

"Uh...please tell me."

Zhou Fan told the county magistrate in detail about the massacre of Yonggu County.

Yu Tianhe wondered if he didn't read the almanac when he went out today. The massacre happened in Yonggu County, which is not far from his seat. Wipe off the cold sweat.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for speaking out."

"It's a little effort, the matter has been told, and I'm leaving." Zhou Fan cupped his hands.

"It's getting dark, and there are still a few vacant rooms in my backyard. If you don't mind, I'll ask my servants to clean them up immediately." Yu Tianhe persuaded.

"Magistrate Yu is kind enough to accept it, but he has already booked an inn in the city, so let's leave." Zhou Fan led the horse, turned and left.

Yu Tianhe watched the figures of Zhou Fan and the others, and said to the yamen servant next to him, "Quickly, go and invite Zhang Xianwei and Liu Xiancheng, and tell them there is something important."

Find a good inn in the city to stay.

Silent night, the next day.

Zhou Fan took everyone wandering aimlessly along the streets in the city.

"Candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws..." The old man held up a wooden stick, with several circles of straw on it, filled with bunches of candied haws, and hawked it on the street.

"Come, come, take a look, don't miss the freshly baked meat buns..."

"........."

Zhou Fan watched the lively scene with great interest.

The cries of hawkers, the conversations of pedestrians, the laughter of a few brats on the street...

All of this made his mind clean, eliminating the evil spirit after yesterday's slaughter.

"Give me... six skewers." Zhou Fan came to the old man.

The old man quickly took out six bunches of candied haws and handed them to Zhou Fan.

"Young master, six coins."

"Uh!" Zhou Fan was stunned, and only then did he realize that he didn't have any copper coins on him.

The old man also stared suspiciously at this "young master" who was well-dressed and looked like a dog with a few entourages behind him, and murmured in his heart: Is this bastard going to renege on his debt?
"Here." At this time, a fat hand stretched out from the side, with six copper coins on it.

Only then did the old man smile all over his face, showing the few remaining old teeth, and with a hand speed that didn't match his age, he pocketed the six copper coins in the fat hand.

Patting his chest, the old man carried the wooden stick on his shoulder and continued to call Maidao, "Candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws..."

"I forgot to bring my wallet when I went out today, really." Zhou Fan explained solemnly.

"Well, it's delicious." Zhen Depang has already eaten it.

"Senior sister, you come to skewer too, it's delicious, sour and sweet." Zhen Depang pulled out six bunches of candied haws from Zhou Fan's hand at some point.

"Hiss~~ Thank you, Junior Brother." Tu Mengmei laughed.

"Come on, eat all of them, you're welcome, sizzling~~"

"Suddenly I lost my appetite." Zhou Fan said expressionlessly.

Lu Ming continued to take the cool route, holding the sword and not speaking.

"Why are my strings so sour?" Chang Lei said sullenly.

"It's sour first and then sweet!" Zhen Depang said.

"Hey, hey... Brother Chang, you..."

Zhen Depang looked at the candied haws in his hand that Chang Lei had exchanged, and felt like crying.

"It's noon, and there is a restaurant in front of us, let's eat there." Zhou Fan said, looking at Lou Yehua who had a smile on his face.
