Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

"Mindong City is a remote city with an extremely strong clan belief, but it happens to be the only way for the two countries to border each other, so the court is also very concerned about the vision of this city."

"It is said that since a few months ago, there have been frequent sounds of suona and ghosts haunting Mindong City. The ghosts like to go to weddings to join in the fun and eat people."

The seven people plus Bai Shiyun who insisted on following them walked out of the city. Yang Yu was holding a letter delivered by soldiers on horseback at full speed, and he talked as he walked.

"Each clan in Mindong City has its own disciplinary hall, and they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial government. Last year, the county magistrate of the government was transferred away, and only supervisors were appointed in each disciplinary hall."

Yang Yu put away the letter and said at last: "The one who will welcome me into the city gate later is the supervisor of the Punishment Hall of the Gu Family."

After listening for a while, Jing Xingcan asked curiously, "If there are conflicts between the clan punishment halls, who should be in charge over the years?"

Yang Yu shook his head, and took out a fan from his waist, and said in a very romantic way, "I don't know, maybe the Punishment Hall is not rare and there are conflicts."

Then he asked Rong Zixu, "Big Brother, since there is no government office this time, where will we stay?"

Jinchen: "Just pick a lucky citizen!"

Rong Zixu: "Inn."

Jinchen: "...We have money?"

How can we have funding when the old man is so stingy?!

Rong Zixu understood the meaning behind Jinchen's words and added helplessly, "You can stay as long as you like. There is no limit on the amount of money you can spend on this mission."

"Oh my God, is Master so merciful or are you, Senior Brother, paying for it out of your own pocket?" Yang Yu was so shocked that he slapped himself twice in fear.

Rong Zixu: "All expenses required for this mission will be paid by the court."

"Big Brother, you should have said so earlier." Gong Siyue immediately became excited, "Then Xiaowu and I will not be polite."

Xu Qie pursed his lips and smiled, looking forward to it: "I wonder if there are many rare things in Min Dongcheng."

Bai Shiyun, a member of the imperial court: "..."

He quietly folded up the other letter he had received and said to Chang Wuming, "Brother Wuming, I have traveled extensively for many years and have heard a little about Mindong City."

Bai Shiyun only talked to Chang Wuming during the past few days while he was on the road. Jinchen himself was busy getting along with his wife and couldn't keep an eye on him all the time. However, his relationship with Chang Wuming improved a lot.

Chang Wuming glanced at him sideways, expressing his doubts silently, and then listened to Bai Shiyun's seemingly reminiscing.

"There are rumors that the government office moved away last year because the citizens of Mindong City were very strange and scared the officials and servants."

"How strange." Chang Wuming frowned on his expressionless face, "Officials are actually afraid of the people."

He didn't understand, so he subconsciously looked at Rong Zixu. It was habit and natural. Bai Shiyun, who was about to explain, twitched his mouth. He wanted to see what Rong Zixu could say.

Rong Zixu pondered for a moment, stopped at the city gate, looked up at the inscriptions on several plaques, and said slowly: "Clan beliefs are often accompanied by inheritance and oppression."

"Each clan has different rules. There are many who do not trust the imperial court. When there are too many of them, it will inevitably threaten the status of the government."

As they were talking, three officers and soldiers who came to lead the way met the crowd in light armor, and the leader stepped forward and bowed.

"You immortals, just call me A-Da."

When Ah Da bowed and stood up, he glanced at Bai Shiyun imperceptibly and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Different from the arrogant officials of Xiling City, the officers and soldiers of Mindong City believed that the strange phenomena in this place might be caused by ghosts.

Rong Zixu couldn't help but wonder, "Although ghost stories are common, few people have actually seen them. Why do you believe them so much?"

Jinchen guessed: "Could it be that you have encountered a ghost?"

Ah Da shook his head bitterly: "In Mindong City...what can't happen?"

"Compared to... it's better to just run into a ghost."

Ah Da wanted to say something but stopped, and bowed again to apologize, "Due to my status, I dare not say more. Perhaps tomorrow the immortals will know."

"Why are you still keeping me in suspense...hiss!"

Jinchen was walking normally when he was suddenly tripped. "What is that?"

He kicked and kicked out a piece of gold wrapped in yellow paper from the roadside.

Rong Zixu supported him and frowned, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

"No." Jinchen took Rong Zixu's hand, squatted down in confusion, picked up a branch and used it to move the piece of gold that was half the size of a fist.

"Who dropped this? Why is it wrapped in a piece of talisman paper that has never been written on it?"

"There are some here too!" Jing Xingcan also found a few pieces on the other side of the road.

Jinchen squatted on the ground and looked up at Ah Da, whose expression changed a little. He asked tentatively: "Is wrapping gold nuggets with talisman paper also a custom in Mindong City?"

Ah Da opened his mouth, as if he was hesitating about something, and urged quietly: "My fellow immortals, it's almost dusk, you should go to the inn and stay there."

Jing Xingcan hoped to see Rong Zixu, "Big Brother, can I pick up the gold on the roadside?"

Rong Zixu blushed and said, "No."

"Okay." Jing Xingcan clapped his hands regretfully, and was pulled up by Gong Siyue with a smile, "Xiao Liu usually likes to buy some snacks to eat, I guess he is greedy again."

"That's right." Jing Xingcan rubbed his belly.

Jinchen stood up again and suddenly noticed several gazes coming from the corners on both sides of the road.

He took a few quick steps cautiously to push aside the bushes, and met several cold, stubborn and morbid gazes from men, women, young and old, standing motionless in the corner.

The Seven Sons of Destiny, who were chatting just now, immediately became quiet and looked back warily.

Jinchen followed their gaze and looked at the gold on the ground, seeming to feel sorry that he didn't pick it up.

There is a problem...

Jinchen rubbed the fingertips that had just touched the gold and memorized several talisman papers of different shapes in his mind.

Rong Zixu was looking at the people standing in different corners. Their expressions were similar, they all wanted to see something happen stubbornly, but the clothes they wore were unique and different, which was probably the way to distinguish people from different clans.

After the two gangs looked at each other for a while, the people in the corner left first, and still no one picked up the gold.

"Why do I feel that the people here are also quite strange?"

Xu Qie was surprised and said, "Most people don't have this kind of look."

At this time, all seven of them had the same idea.

Min Dongcheng is probably going to be even more troublesome.

We walked further into the city and were about to enter the inn when several middle-aged ladies in crimson clothes with vegetable baskets in their hands came towards us with smiles, looking warm and generous.

"Are you from out of town? We have come at an auspicious time!"

The old lady lifted the red cloth covering the vegetable basket and stuffed a few invitations into their hands. "Tomorrow evening is my son's wedding, and a few out-of-town guests are coming to join in the fun and celebration!"

"And our family! Our youngest son is getting married too! It's tonight, in less than two hours, so all the outsiders, remember to come!"

The ladies were so enthusiastic and loud that Rong Zixu didn't even have time to say anything to refuse. After touching the invitation, he suddenly felt a strong yin energy.

The seven people's expressions changed slightly, and they accepted the invitation tacitly.
