I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan both felt that the voice that stopped them was a little familiar.

But they didn't have many acquaintances in the state city.

Xue Qingshan is okay, there are so many old friends and old comrades in arms.

But Qin Shaoyou came to the city for the first time, and there was no acquaintance here, so who could it be that not only knew the two of them at the same time, but also called them so affectionate?

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan looked in the direction of the voice with questions.

I saw a few people dressed in scribes' robes standing on the street not far away. Beside them, they were accompanied by domestic servants who carried lanterns to serve the guards.

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan are both very discerning, and when they look at these people, they know that they are all officials.

One of them, a thin scribe in his thirties, was overjoyed when he saw Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan turn their heads.

He first explained a few words to his friends, then quickly walked towards the two of them, laughing as they walked: "It's really you, I see that you look very similar, so I tentatively called out, and I really didn't admit the wrong person."

Qin Shaoyou felt that this person was familiar and should be someone the original owner knew, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember the name and identity of the other party.

On the other hand, Xue Qingshan was stunned after seeing this person's appearance, and then overjoyed: "Old An? An Xiucai?"

The scribe laughed even more happily: "Haha, it's not me."

At this time, Qin Shaoyou recalled the person's identity and name.

The person nicknamed 'An Xiucai' is his fifth brother-in-law, An Mutong.

When the fifth sister married An Mutong, he was still a poor scholar, studying in Luocheng.

However, Qin Daoren and the fifth sister took a fancy to his character and didn't mind his family background.

After the fifth sister married, Qin Daoren did not give An Mutong less money. Later, An Mutong passed the exam as a scholar, and Qin Daoren went to help him find a job as a teacher in a school in the city, so that he could teach and support his family. , while continuing the scientific examination.

Five years ago, An Mutong passed the Juren exam, passed the township exam in the same year, and got an errand in the state city, so he moved his fifth sister to the state city to live.

But two years ago, the family entrusted someone to deliver a letter to the fifth sister. When the person came back, he said that the An Mutong family had moved out. As for where they moved, he could not find out.

As a result, the contact with the fifth sister's family was cut off, but Qin Daoren and Qin Li were sad for a long time.

Unexpectedly, today, I saw An Mutong again, and it was still here in the state city.

So the person who delivered the letter two years ago said that An Mutong moved with his family. What happened?

Did the messenger get it wrong and they didn't move at all?

Or did they go back and forth, and then return to the state city?

Qin Shaoyou's heart was full of doubts.

He and Xue Qingshan came forward together, and after a few words of greetings with An Mutong, they talked about these issues.

An Mutong looked surprised: "Two years ago? At that time, I should have just passed the jinshi examination. I was waiting for an official in the capital, and then I took your fifth sister to the capital. No, when your fifth sister was leaving, there were The letter was sent to you by someone. Why, didn't you receive it?"

"No." Qin Shaoyou shook his head.

"Most of them were the messengers who encountered an accident on the road, so they couldn't deliver the letter." Xue Qingshan speculated.

This situation is not uncommon, especially in today's chaotic world, so Qin Shaoyou and An Mutong nodded in unison, both agreeing with this guess.

Xue Qingshan looked at An Mutong up and down, and said jokingly: "So, Lao An, you are a jinshi? Hey, I can't call you An Xiucai from now on, you have to be called a jinshi master."

When An Mutong was still in Yizhou, Xue Qingshan had a good relationship with him and would often help him. They were also used to making jokes between them.

An Mutong glared at him and said angrily, "Fuck off, have I ever called you Mr. Zongqi?"

Xue Qingshan laughed.

Qin Shaoyou said: "fifth brother-in-law, don't you know? Third brother-in-law is no longer the general flag, and has raised a hundred households."

When An Mutong heard this, he immediately bowed his hands to Xue Qingshan: "Oh, so you are now the master of Baihu, and you have seen the master of Baihu."

Come on, hurt each other.

The smile on Xue Qingshan's face froze instantly, and his expression was very embarrassing.

Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly helped clear the siege and asked, "Fifth brother-in-law, why are you back now?"

An Mutong let go of Xue Qingshan and replied, "I was selected as the magistrate of Mianyuan County. I just received the appointment last month, and I rushed back all the way."

"Mianyuan County?"

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan looked at each other.

Is it such a coincidence?

Seeing the reaction of the two, An Mutong was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan did not deceive him either, and briefly told An Mutong about the previous case in Mianyuan County.

After finishing, Xue Qingshan sternly warned: "Old An, after you arrive in Mianyuan County, you must be more careful, after all, there was a disturbance in the Black Lotus Sect not long ago, although a group was arrested and killed afterwards, but there must be more The remnants of the Black Lotus Sect exist, and they must be prevented from causing new troubles."

After listening to it, An Mutong was amazed: "I knew about this case you mentioned before I came here. I just didn't expect that you broke this case. In this way, I can become a member of Mianyuan County. Magistrate, it has something to do with the two of you too... Zi once said: Fate, it's wonderful. It's really so!"

Qin Shaoyou looked astonished: "I still said that?"

An Mutong coughed and said: "This is not the point, the point is that you, Shaoyou, actually became the chief flag officer of the Suppressing Demon Division. Your fifth sister will be very happy when you know the news. And Qingshan, you are actually When you become the official of the hundred households of Luocheng Town Yaosi, you can take care of me in Mianyuan County in the future."

Xue Qingshan responded immediately: "This is natural." Then he asked in confusion, "However, Lao An, how could you be selected as the magistrate of Mianyuan County?"

He asked that for a reason.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty did not have the requirement that "the people in the south govern the north, and those who are appointed to the south", it also had the rule of "not to be appointed within 500 miles of the township", and even in most cases, they were officials from other provinces.

An Mutong smiled and said, "Why not? You forgot? Although I am studying in Luocheng~www.readwn.com~, I am not from Luocheng."

Only then did Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan remember that An Mutong was indeed not from Luocheng. His hometown was Baishi County, Bacheng, and it was more than 500 miles away from Luocheng and Mianyuan County.

An Mutong then added: "Actually, the magistrate of Mianyuan County this time was originally appointed by someone else, but someone suggested that Mianyuan County had just experienced a catastrophe and should appoint someone who knew the local situation. In the past, the situation can be stabilized, and this is why I was chosen..."

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan nodded in unison, so it made sense.

An Mutong added: "I originally planned to stay here for a few days in the prefecture city to get in touch with my former friends and future colleagues in the official circle, and then set off for Mianyuan County to take office. When the time comes, I will take your fifth sister home and let her meet her long-lost parents and siblings. I didn’t expect to meet you two here tonight.”

Having said that, he paused and asked suspiciously, "So, what are you two doing here in Jincheng? Why are you here?"
