I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

After eating the delicious and satisfying preserved meat claypot rice, it will be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month the next day.

Cheng Jin has already stopped his official business, and the entrance of the county government has also hung up the notices and emergency channels during the new calendar period. The illiteracy rate in ancient times was very high, so there are text versions and picture versions, and someone specially explained it. Of course, this is also the case. The county magistrate Cheng's little trick to win people's hearts.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year. The government government has given a specific and serious attitude, and the common people will not feel it. Besides, compared with the bandit rampage in the past, the magistrate Cheng is quite liberal in his work.

He even approached Lu Miaozhu of Chenghuang Temple to jointly organize a Laba porridge soup event, although the real Laba Festival has passed 20 days.

The Town God's Temple in Tangxi is very effective, so there will be a lot of people queuing up every time donating clothes to give porridge. The county magistrate Cheng also lent Xiao A Cong for a day to ensure the normal progress of the porridge.

Of course, as the top leader of Tangxi, Cheng Jin talked a lot of inspiring and future-looking nonsense before the porridge donation started. The porridge activity has officially begun.

Town God's Temple gives porridge several times a year, and the on-site management is well-organized, so Cheng Jin sits aside and whispers to Lu Miaozhu.

"Lu Miaozhu, why hasn't the City God entrusted me with dreams recently?"

Lu Miaozhu: ...This is a gift proposition.

"Why don't you speak?"

In fact, Lu Miaozhu didn't want to talk, but his fist was hard, so he could only say: "City God is busy."

Upon hearing the words, County Magistrate Cheng felt that Hell 007 was really not done by humans: "It's the end of the new year, are you still busy?"

"...Busy, and there is no festival in the underworld."

It's too miserable, he must work hard to live to one hundred and thirty, so he said with sympathy on his face: "Then wait a minute, give the city god a piece of Laba porridge to warm your heart."

Lu Miaozhu: ...That's not all due to you!

Speaking of this, Lu Miaozhu did not expect the new magistrate of Tangxi County to be so capable. Originally, he and the City God did not hold much hope. After all, this is not the first time that the imperial court has sent civil servants here. It is true to dream of finding someone to cooperate with It was just a test, but it didn't come to fruition... This is a ruthless person.

Not only did he kill the three Tangxi villages within a month, but he was also so bold that he found an existence called the demon king as his master, and even... even became famous in the underworld.

What a new thing, to make all the ghosts in the underworld terrified by being a mortal, the old ghosts who were originally stranded in the underworld in Tangxi, the transfer of nationality, the reincarnation of the reincarnation, the urgency, it seems that someone is holding them with a whip. of.The City God used to worry about persuading ghosts to reincarnate, but now he doesn't worry about it anymore, he is so busy... his head is going bald.

Although it can be regarded as seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, who would have thought that the "surprise" would come so quickly.

Cheng Jin soon discovered that he, a good communicator, actually chatted to death. Could it be that the city god is so busy and has something to do with him?No way, he hasn't tricked City God lately.

The porridge distribution was carried out in an orderly manner, and when the sun was about to go down, the last porridge was also sent out.

"Master, this is porridge for the yamen, Miao Zhu asked us to take it back."

Cheng Jin stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile, "It's been a hard day today, I'll reward you with big chicken drumsticks when I go back."

Ah Cong scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's not hard, and I like to serve porridge very much, so I don't need to eat big chicken drumsticks."

"Just take it if I give you something to eat, don't keep giving way to Pan Laotou, he is just greedy and wants to eat anything."

Ah Cong smiled innocently: "The young master gave it to me, but I won't let it go."

Hey, everyone in the yamen is thinking about it, only Xiao Acong is simple and honest, the county magistrate Cheng couldn't help stretching out his hand and rua: "Go, let's go back."

Back at the yamen, it was completely dark, Ah Cong went to heat Laba porridge, Cheng Jin was going to change clothes, but bumped into Intoxicated wandering restlessly at the door of his study.

Anxious, this word should have nothing to do with intoxication, but now even Pan Maomao can see through the intoxicated mood when he comes here.

"What's going on? The Hua girl won't make any trouble again, right?" It's not to blame Cheng County Magistrate for thinking about it, it's because the Hua aunt really impressed him too much.

Tao Zui raised his head, there was obviously some stalemate in his eyes, but when he heard the words, he just shook his head and denied: "No."

"What is that that can make you so anxious?"

Tao Zui could see the worry in Cheng Yi'an's eyes, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't do it.He originally thought that this matter was over, and he also felt that he had forgotten, but... when a certain person's name was mentioned, the emotions in his heart still surged uncontrollably.

He will never forget that day, those ruthless eyes.

"It's okay, I just...remembered some old things."

This is the meaning of avoidance, Cheng Jin looked at the still restless bamboo demon, and suddenly said: "Intoxicated, there is something wrong with you."

Tao Zui still wanted to be brave, but he obviously couldn't maintain the gentleness of the past. After persisting for a while, his shoulders slumped: "I...I just don't know how to speak."

"More precisely, I shouldn't have spoken to you about this."

Cheng Jin blinked, and felt that the more he listened, the more he couldn't understand: "But you still came, which means you want to say something to me, right?"

Reveling in silence for a moment, he nodded.

"It's up to you. Intoxicated, we are friends. It's normal for you to talk to your friends when you have troubles." After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he added, "But if you think you shouldn't talk to me, maybe You can try to find Li Yong."

Li Yong's temperament seemed unreliable, but he knew it in his heart.

"...Sorry to trouble you."

This state feels worse than the last time Auntie Hua fell in love. Cheng Jin opened the door to bring the demon in, only to realize that Tao Zui smelled very strongly of alcohol.

"Brother Tao, you can't be...broken in love, right?"

Intoxicated: "...No."

"Okay, let's talk about it after you sober up. Ah Cong warmed the Laba porridge, so you can drink more."

There are not many people left behind in the yamen today. Nie Xiaoqian and Zhu Fengnian sent Zhou Taishi to the underworld but did not return. Li Yong went to check the imperial physicians. Hei Lulu went to find news about the Xiantian Pill last night. Daoist Yan went out early today on his night patrol. up.

Cheng Jin took Tao Zui to the backyard, only to see Maomao and Xi Niang sorting out the dishes for A Cong, and Buqi behind him was helping to choose and wash vegetables.

When Xi Niang saw Cheng Jin, she backed away unconsciously. She had no choice but lacked confidence. Everyone felt ashamed when Amy almost died. Besides...she didn't save all the money to repay her kindness, she was really useless fox demon.

"What's the matter, the injury is still not healed? Or was Huang Jiulang stimulated again?"

Maomao quietly replied: "No, the yellow fox apologized, but I will not forgive him. As for Xi Niang being so cowardly, it was purely because I was scared by seeing you."

Cheng Jin touched his chin: "Is this officer scary?"

Maomao gave a look to let people experience it for themselves.

Well, it should be about the money to repay the favor, Cheng Jin kindly didn't say anything, but Qian Niang herself mustered up the courage to tell him about it.

Since the other party mentioned it, Cheng Jin couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it, so he could only say, "You just need to be sensible."

Xi Niang quickly nodded: "I will, next year the embroidery room will start construction, I will definitely not buy rouge and gouache again!"

...The current fox demon is really easy to deceive.

Ah Cong soon came out with Laba porridge, not only Laba porridge, but also a few quick side dishes and a big pot of fried rice with mushrooms.

"Master, eat first, I'll go to Ying's next door to deliver the porridge."

Ah Cong walked fast and came back quickly, and he came back with a stack of persimmons and pastries in his hand.

When Maomao saw the dried persimmons, she wanted to eat them, so she quickly chased into the kitchen with her rice bowl, and even dragged Buqi and Xi Niang along. Although Buqi really wanted to stay, he was still dragged away.

"What are you pulling me for, Mr. Tao today..."

Mao Mao took a mouthful of rice, and then said: "You also know that something is wrong with him today, you can see it, why are you still eating on the dining table?"

"But..." Tao Zui is the demon he is closest to in the yamen, so of course Buqi doesn't want anything to happen to him, "I can help Mr. Tao."

"Help? How can I help, based on the fact that you can't even fly?"

Not giving up is a thorn in the head, and he wanted to do it when he heard the words, but soon... he was held down by Mao Mao.There is no way, although the half-demon is amazingly talented, and Buqi is a descendant of a divine beast, but the time is too short and he hasn't grown up yet.

"Don't meddle with you, a child. Leave the adult's affairs to the adult. Cheng Suansuan is much more capable than you think."

However, on the table outside, he was not as optimistic as Mao Mao said. After all, no matter how capable Cheng Jin was, he couldn't read minds.

Intoxicated is a restrained demon, Cheng Jin really can't figure out what he doesn't want to say.

"Intoxicated, hurry up, don't tell me I can go." Cheng Jin's patience was obviously not good, and he became impatient after a while.

The intoxicated wine has actually woken up a long time ago, maybe he has never been drunk, but he still hasn't opened his mouth.

Cheng Jin stood up and said, "I see you, just change your name to Tao Menhulu in the future."

Intoxicated: "...It's ugly."

He opened his mouth, and wanted to drink again, but there was only a bowl of Laba porridge on the table, which was covered with a thin layer of porridge oil: "Actually, when I was very young, my mother often brought I'm going to drink Laba porridge."

Cheng Jin then sat back.

"At that time, the family was very poor. If there was any spare money in the family, my mother would send it to that person. She always said that that person would be a high-ranking official. From now on, I will be the son of a high-ranking official and I will enjoy happiness." Tao Zui suddenly Smiling lightly, with an inexplicable sense of vulnerability, "So being a little bit tired for the time being is all for a better life in the future."

Cheng Jin suddenly guessed why Tao Zui was so hesitant to speak, if he remembered correctly, Tao Zui was a human being in the past.

"Sorry, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to."

It was probably the beginning, and Tao Zui felt that it was not so difficult to open his mouth: "I thought these things were over a long time ago, but I didn't expect... I can hear that person's name again."

When he said this, he suddenly looked up at Cheng Jin: "Master Cheng, can you tell me why you want to investigate Xiong Xiong?"
