I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

He is a human, and Hei Lulu is a demon. The blood contract between the two of them was first initiated by the other party. If Hei Lulu really wanted to break it, he would definitely be able to bypass him and break it directly.

To be honest, Cheng Jin was really happy.Originally, he asked Heishan to be his teacher at first because he was grateful for the life-saving grace of the other party.Although this life-saving grace may not be out of the other party's heart, but if you save it, you are saved. He Cheng Jin is not a person who knows how to repay his favor.

But soon he discovered that Heilulu was not as autistic and world-hating as he had imagined.

And now sitting across from him, the monster who opened his mouth to break the blood contract with him, Cheng Jin is such a transparent person, he immediately understood, probably because he almost didn't come back from the soul this time, which frightened the monster .

"Master, you are worried about me."

Hei Shan raised his head, his eyes were calm: "Cheng Yi'an, you should be a smart person."

The county magistrate Cheng immediately said: "Smart people often pretend to be smart. I think it's better to be a less smart person, don't you? Besides, do you really think that if you cancel the blood contract, I won't cause trouble?"

Heishan choked for breath, and didn't speak for a while, if it was Cheng Yi'an, it would be really... maybe.

"Although in this yamen, except for A Cong and Buqi, you are all much older than me, but when it comes to the way of life, I am more familiar with it. I know what I am doing. If you cross the line, even if you If you don’t say anything, I will stop immediately.” After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he added, “But this time, thank you very much, thank you for saving me from the mural.”

Heishan frowned habitually when he heard the words: "It's the spell drawn by Yan Chixia."

Cheng Jin is as good as he is: "Then when the Taoist priest comes back, I will also thank the Taoist priest."

Heishan really doesn't understand how Cheng Yi'an manages to laugh and laugh in his heart without showing any signs of expression. Ordinary people, even monsters who experience life and death, would be terrified. This person wakes up after sleeping, eating and drinking like a normal person. You can also tell him these strange truths in turn.

"Cheng Yi'an, aren't you afraid?"

Cheng Jin's hand holding the noodle bowl froze, and continued to drink the noodle soup. He obviously refused to answer this question.

When he didn't speak, Heishan kept staring at him, but magistrate Cheng had a thick skin, until he was full, Heishan didn't dig a word out of his mouth.

Heishan is not a demon who is very keen on capturing emotions, but he quickly discovered: "Cheng Yi'an, you are afraid."

Cheng Jin put down the chopsticks in his hand with a click, and his voice was rarely hoarse: "Yes, so what? I am a human being, and it is normal for human beings to have emotions and desires."

This is not normal at all, Hei Shan looked at Cheng Yi'an and said, "Sometimes, I forget your mortal status."

Cheng Jin doesn't like to confess himself very much. When he was very young, he would indeed put all his emotions, anger and fear on his face, but it turned out that it was useless. Apart from being ridiculed and embarrassed, there was no positive feedback, even Also disgusting.Later, he learned to control his emotions, which not only made it easier to do things, but also prevented him from being overwhelmed by unreasonable emotions.

"Master, you are not a monster who can think about such things. What did my senior brother tell you?"

This is too sensitive, Hei Shan was startled, but he restrained himself and said: "Cheng Yi'an, you are too restrained."

"Isn't it good to be restrained?" Cheng Jin asked back.

Hei Shan suddenly realized that he was clearly asking someone to terminate the blood contract, so why did the topic inexplicably deviate to discussing Cheng Yian's personality?

"I know, you guys are afraid that if I accumulate too many emotions in my heart, I will rebound and hurt myself, but I really didn't take it to heart, and I wouldn't have done it a long time ago."

This was said lightly, but it was rare for Cheng Jin to say something from his heart.

Hei Shan heard the words, and finally brought the topic back: "So, you really don't want to cancel the blood contract?"

Cheng Jin had already stood up, waved his hands a little impatiently and said: "I don't understand, I don't understand, it's rare to have such a powerful demon king guarding the yamen, I'm stupid to break the blood contract."

Hei Lulu: ...I'm afraid not, this is what you really mean.

After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he plunged into the ocean of official business. The recent census of Tangxi is finally coming to an end. Except for a few remote mountain residents, most of the registered villages and villages have completed the household registration. The registration of family separation and household registration has also been completed, and the number of missing or dead people has also been counted separately.

In this regard, Zhu Fengnian is indeed a good hand. He writes neatly, and the transcribed household registration book is pleasing to the eye.

The process of doing population statistics is not for the tax revenue of the coming year, but for the convenience of carrying out a series of poverty alleviation and development work.The Tangxi county government office was not poor. The money copied from the three villages and the Qian family had all been put into the treasury. Except for a part of it that he got for a pilot house warming, he planned to return most of the rest to the common people.

After Cheng Jin took care of the trivial chores, he took out his own plan and started to add.

Just after writing a few words, Pan Xiaoan's voice sounded outside the door.

"My lord, I heard that you are back, I will send you the peach cakes that Ah Cong made!"

Cheng Jin let Maomao in, and took the peach cake from the other party's hand suspiciously: "You are so kind?"

One sentence instantly made Pan Maomao furious: "My lord, you don't know the heart of a cat!" After he finished shouting, he glanced at Cheng Yi'an quietly. It is hopeless.

"You look like you're disappointed."

Mao Mao refused to admit it: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense."

Cheng County Magistrate took a bite of the crispy peach cake, and said comfortably: "Isn't it because I'm lost and can't repay my kindness?"

Mao Mao immediately wanted to jump up and hit someone: "You know, you know and you say it!"

Cheng Jin immediately took three steps back, ate the peach cakes in two mouthfuls, and said: "Okay, okay, I don't want to talk about it, you should have something to say besides giving peach cakes."

Cats and cats seemed to be stepped on their tails, and they opened their mouths to deny: "No! You are full of anger, who cares about your life and death, every day you leave your soul, if you don't wake up one day, the backyard will be destroyed. Ah Cong's tears are drowning!"

Cheng Jin was nervous: "Ah Cong knows?"

"He knows what the hell, there is no one in the county government who is more dull than him! It's just that I made too many fried buns yesterday, and I almost killed Master Meow!"

... I see that you are enjoying it very much.

The county magistrate of Cheng was quite sober and said: "In fact, there are not many people in the county government, including A Cong."

Pan Xiaoan: ... Then you are awesome.

He can't do this persuasion work, let the bamboo spirit come over and say it, so angry, and put in a plate of peach cakes.Maomao silently glanced at the half-eaten peach cakes on the table, and left silently, clutching her heart.

Not long after Maomao left, the study door rang again.

Although Cheng Jin had guessed the reason for Tao Zui's visit, he still opened the door for the demon.

"Is this...alcohol?" County Magistrate Cheng refused immediately, "During official duties, I do not drink alcohol."

Reveling in the drinking action froze, and then said: "It's okay, there's still time to drink later."

Cheng Jin: Brother Tao, I didn't expect you to be such a person.

Seeing that Brother Cheng didn't speak, Tao Zui said, "Brother Cheng won't be tonight, is there anything else?"

...That's not true, and even if he wanted to, Heilulu wouldn't take him to play in a short time.

"No, Brother Tao, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it."

Tao Zui immediately said: "Brother Cheng, leaving the soul of a mortal is a major event. I know you are powerful, but if there is no life-threatening matter in the future, it is better not to forcibly leave the soul."

Only then did Cheng Jin realize that if he didn't come back in time, he seemed to have really frightened the demons and ghosts in the yamen.

In the morning, from Heilulu, to Pan Xiaoan and Tao Zui, to Zhu Fengnian and Nie Xiaoqian, each one of them just tried to persuade him to "turn back and be right", it was rare for Cheng Jin to reflect on himself, and it's not like he couldn't understand other people's kindness , So in the evening, he held an interim meeting of the county government, saying that if he had nothing important to do in the future, he would not leave his soul as long as he could.

The meaning of these words is... There is an urgent matter, but he still leaves.

A group of ghosts in the yamen: ...

In the end, it was Heishan who could handle big things. After the other ghosts left, he took out a palm-sized antler and put it on Cheng Yian's table.

Cheng Jin was so frightened that he almost lost his teacup: "This can't be..." Your antlers, right?If he remembered correctly, the black deer has only one antler, and it hurts to break it off.

"I'll take it for you. With it, even if your body enters the ghost realm, you won't be corroded by Yin Qi."

How dare Cheng Jin take this: "Master, don't be impulsive, the time is still short, you should be able to go back!"

Montenegro: ...

"This seat didn't break it off."

Cheng Jin was taken aback by returning the hand, and then said: "Is it someone else's? Then I can't take it!"

"...No, this seat has faded away."

County magistrate Cheng held the antlers in a daze: "Ah?" But the antlers are not for nourishing the kidneys, and if they are seen with them, others will have to suspect him of such things.

At the moment when one person and one deer were embarrassed, Yan Chixia finally came back.

"My lord, this female soul has woken up and said she wants to see you."

Cheng Jin hurriedly collected the antlers to avoid being seen by Daoist Yan, and then welcomed the person in: "Daoist, I see that you look tired, you should rest."

Yan Chixia was indeed very tired. After sending off Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian, he hurried to Beijing to buy materials for the formation, and then went to the mountains non-stop to set up the formation. His spiritual energy is almost exhausted.

At this moment Cheng Jin asked him to rest, and he didn't refuse any more, he just glanced at Heishan, left the soul nourishing talisman that Yan Niang took, and went back to his room to rest.

Cheng Jin quickly released Yan Niang from the Soul Cultivation Talisman, and it was obvious that her spirit was still transparent, looking like it was about to disperse.

"You said, you want to go back to the painting wall?"

Yan Niang begged: "Please help me, son, if I don't go back, I will die."

"But you are already dead." Cheng Jin pointed to Yan Niang's transparent soul body.

Yan Niang: ...he really is a hard-hearted man.

"However, it's not that there is no room for negotiation. We'll send you back. How about you tell us what you want?" County magistrate Cheng slowly revealed his fox tail.
