Chapter 70
The windows kept opening and closing, and the wooden windows creaked and creaked, as if a cat's claws were scratching the heart, which made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

The world outside the window is dark and silent, and one can't help but devote all his energy to the ordinary and mysterious window, while fearing accidents in his heart.

Suddenly, a white shadow loomed outside the window, and the white shadow continued to approach, gradually getting bigger in the small window, that white shadow was approaching them.

"be careful behind"

Li Qing suddenly reminded him loudly, and the attendants turned around suddenly to find that two black figures had opened the door and entered the room silently, their heads covered as if covered by black veils.

"kill"

Shi Hongyu slashed at the black shadow almost instantly, one knife pierced into the flesh, and with a scream, another knife was swung out, and the second black shadow couldn't dodge and was cut down again.

Only then did everyone realize that someone was pretending to be a ghost, and hurried forward to help arrest two assassins. One assassin was hacked to death by Shi Hongyu on the spot, and the other was seriously injured.

"Who sent you here?" Shi Hongyu asked while supporting the assassin in black.
The black-clothed assassin looked up at Shi Hongyu, with blood slowly flowing from his mouth. Shi Hongyu opened the assassin's mouth and found that the assassin had committed suicide by biting his tongue. This is a dead man!
Although the assassin didn't say anything, Li Qing seemed to know who was dealing with them. There was a playful smile in his eyes, and things became more and more interesting.

The people who sent the assassins obviously didn't know that they were not afraid of ghosts, so the plan to use ghosts to attract their attention and take the opportunity to sneak attack failed, which exposed their cards.

"It's the ghost"

Shi Hongyu quickly figured out the relationship. Affection was a bit dark, and Nether's strength was somewhat beyond their speculation. He was also in the government, and his status was not low.

Li Qing didn't have much fear, and said calmly: "Go on to sleep and stay vigilant."

After finishing speaking, they returned to bed to rest. When such a thing happened, everyone would not be in the mood to sleep. They all secretly observed the lord, their eyes were full of admiration, and they could not change their faces in the face of evil spirits. Reminiscent of some legends about the lord, a kind of reverence The mood gradually arises.

While everyone was anxiously waiting for the sky to dawn soon, Li Qing got out of bed and stretched, only to see that the eyes of all the people in the room were bloodshot, obviously they hadn't slept well.

Li Qing couldn't help laughing, and led everyone out of the room, the shop had already prepared breakfast, hurriedly ate breakfast and left the inn, it was time to go to the city to take office today.

Walking slowly towards the city gate along the flow of people, next to them were people pushing carts and jumping with burdens, and the sounds of various conversations came to his ears, and the conversation of two of them caught his attention.

"Have you heard that two more families in Qiaotouji were murdered by ghosts last night? It's a crime. The Liu family's son has just been born. This time their family has completely lost their incense."

"Yeah, there are evil spirits haunting every night, what can we do, just wait for death" the tone was full of helplessness.

The surrounding people who heard these two people talking were silent. They were just ordinary people. What can they do to deal with evil spirits? They just hope that they don't encounter them.

Someone next to him suggested: "Let's ask the Nether Immortal Master for a magic talisman. Although it is expensive, it really works. Being alive is better than anything else, and I don't care about money."

Shi Hongyu walked to Li Qing's side and whispered: "This Nether is too shameless. On the one hand, it raises ghosts, and on the other hand, it sells talismans to search for blood and sweat. If it is with us, he must be sent to hell."

"Don't worry, this day won't be too long"

Li Qing patted Shi Hongyu on the shoulder and continued to walk into the city. After crossing the street, the county government was located. After handing over the letter of worship, he waited at the gatehouse.

Soon the concierge returned and said: "My lord feels cold occasionally, so it's not easy to summon your lord, please go directly to the chief registrar's office outside the city to take up his post."

Li Qing frowned, and asked: "Isn't the master register working in the county government office? Why is the master register office located outside the city?"
"Your Excellency does not know that Longchuan has been an important salt producing area since ancient times. Business travelers will live in the salt field for the convenience of buying salt. In order to facilitate tax collection and management, the county's main office is located in Qiaotouji," the concierge replied with a smile.

Li Qing nodded and said: "Master is not here, I should visit the two lords, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, may I ask if the two lords are in the county office?
The concierge replied: "My lord, you are joking. This county is a middle county. There is no county magistrate. The county Wei Fang was killed by a ghost three years ago. The court has not yet appointed a new county magistrate."

"In that case, I will take my leave"

Li Qing bid farewell and left, just after leaving the county office, Shi Hongyu said angrily: "This concierge is so ignorant, there is no reason for the adults to take up the post alone, the third class and the sixth house should also come out to pay a visit."

"This is the normal situation." Li Qing's eyes were clear, as if he knew this situation a long time ago.

"It's obvious that Nether has colluded with the county magistrate. This time it's been thoroughly confirmed. That's fine, at least I don't have to be under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, and I can do things more conveniently."

Shi Hongyu was still a little depressed, worried about the death of his minister, and his status as a god, he was actually looked down upon by a mere county magistrate.

Houya living room.

The two were drinking tea and chatting, one of them was the magistrate of Longchuan County, Ye Ping, who was in poor health, and the other was the famous Immortal Master Youming in the county.

Ye Ping smiled flatteringly and said: "The boy with the yellow mouth who comes from a mere mud leg, Immortal Master He Lao will go there in person, and I will find someone to be him in a few days."

"Li Qing is not a simple person. Didn't the assassin you sent fail? Don't be careless."

The expression on You Ming's face was distorted, wishing to capture Li Qing immediately and torture him with his life and soul. This was the first time he suffered such a serious injury in these years of cultivating Taoism.

The assassin last night was indeed sent by Ye Ping. You Ming's words made him a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice, "Last night was just an accident. I'll send a few more experts tonight."

You Ming waved his hand and said: "Don't meddle in this matter, I will deal with him personally, not only will I kill him, but I will also make him cast aside by all people and make him notorious."

After speaking, Quack sneered, his voice piercing like a night owl's. If the people in the county saw the immortal Master Youming so terrifying, they didn't know what expressions they would make.

On the other side, Li Qing also came to Qiaotouji Zhuzhu Hall, which is a three-room tile-roofed house, the yamen guard at the door feebly guarded the door, seeing Li Qing who was wearing the Zhujiguan's mansion, hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

Immediately, the clerks and yamen servants of the chief registry office came out to greet them one after another, and the county magistrate was better off taking care of them now. Even though they knew from the gossip that the old man didn't want to see the new chief registry, they didn't dare to go beyond the slightest bit of etiquette.

The master register is the assistant official of the county magistrate, with a rank of nine ranks, in charge of household registration, arrest, and document handling.

Li Qingduan sat in the main hall, Zandian Mu Yuanwei led the subordinate officials and government servants to pay respects, the first time and the first day of every month when meeting the superior, he had to kneel down and worship, but the rest of the time he didn't have to.

"Everyone please rise up"

Everyone got up to thank them, secretly looking at this young and outrageous new chief officer.

Li Qing looked around at his future subordinates below, focusing on Zan Dian Mu Yuanwei, who was in his 40s with a calm expression, and a scarlet natal on his head showed that this man's luck was strong, and what was even more peculiar was that this man's luck was still Mixed with gray and black and green.

Black air means that you have encountered difficulties recently, while green air means that this person has succeeded in studying and has developed a righteous spirit. This is the first time I have met this kind of person. This person looks indifferent, and he is neither humble nor overbearing when facing him.

Li Qing casually asked: "Where is the Chief Registrar's arrest?"
Immediately one person walked out and cupped his hands and said: "The villain Xie Gen, arrest the head of the master book hall."

"From today onwards, you don't have to be the chief arrester anymore, Shi Hongyu, you'll be the chief bureau chief arrester," Li Qing said directly.

The head catcher Xie Gen said angrily: "I am the head catcher appointed by the elder, how dare you depose me"!
Li Qing's expression turned cold, and he bumped into Ye Ping's confidant by mistake, so he couldn't let it go.

A head catcher is just a low-level handyman. As the chief bookkeeper, he is in charge of the chief book office. What is it to dismiss a head catcher? Even the county magistrate Ye Ping is not easy to ask.

"throw out"

Shi Hongyu stepped forward, grabbed Xie Gen, and while he kept yelling and cursing, he stripped off the arrester's clothes and threw them out of the office, and went to the side to change into his work clothes.

The other yamen servants are awe-inspiring, but this young Shangguan seems not to be trifled with!

 Let's go in the middle of the night, and the recommendation ticket is coming soon.
