I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Cheng Jin couldn't help but move in his heart, but his face didn't show his expression: "Oh? There's really something to say here?"

Lu Miaozhu: ...the co-author, did you deceive me?

The new magistrate of Tangxi County is really rebellious as the city god said. Lu Miaozhu felt a little tired. He himself is not very good at scheming, and he doesn't play tricks with others. He said directly: "To tell you the truth, This water mang grass does have some origin."

"Please also ask Miao Zhu to tell this officer."

Seeing that people finally began to speak human words, Lu Miaozhu took a sip of tea and said, "This Shuimang grass was originally born in the area of ​​Taohua River in central Chu. Do you know where this Taohua River is?"

Cheng Jin probably knew that it was a diversion point of the Yangtze River, but the exact location is not quite clear.

Lu Miaozhu explained, and then continued: "Worshiping wild gods was once very popular in the central Chu area. Because of the war, many people no longer believed in righteous gods, so many wild gods popped up, most of them were monsters pretending to be common. Yellow Immortals, Fox Immortals, Frog Gods and the like, and there was once a famous Willow Immortal in the Taohua River area."

Only the snake fairy who protects the people can be called the willow fairy. Cheng Jin immediately responded: "Shuimang?"

"That's right, that willow fairy was originally cultivated by Shui Mang. It is rumored that he has a peaceful temperament and is not as arrogant as other willow immortals. He often turns into a mortal and goes to the streets to practice medicine and diagnose diseases, and he doesn't charge a penny. The local Liuxian Temple The incense used to be very strong, if it takes another hundred years or so, it is not impossible to achieve a positive result."

Seeing that County Magistrate Cheng listened earnestly, Lu Miaozhu continued, "But it's a pity that the matter came to an end, and the success fell short. That Liu Xian fell in love with a mortal. Human beings and monsters have different ways, and the local people feel that the existence of that woman is a hindrance." Liuxian practiced cultivation, and took advantage of Liuxian's absence to drive her out of the Peach Blossom River."

"and after?"

Lu Miaozhu stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "Later, that woman had an accident outside, and when Liu Xian searched for her, she didn't even have a soul. If a soul is incomplete, she couldn't enter reincarnation. That Liu Xian had already faded. Because of this, he forcibly split his own strength to condense a soul to help the woman reincarnate, but he himself fell during the catastrophe."

This sounds like another not-so-happy story.

"When he fell, the blood of the Taohua River was stained red, and the people knelt down by the river, but they could not save Liu Xian's life." Lu Miaozhu said here, also sighed, "Later, after the river water was clarified, the bank suddenly A creeping aquatic weed has grown, which is harmless to animals but incurable by humans.”

"This is the origin of the water mang grass." Lu Miaozhu drank all the tea in the cup, and the story was finished.

Cheng Jin was silent for a moment, and then said: "So, the water mang ghost cannot be reincarnated because the water mang grass is transformed by the resentment of the willow fairy. That makes sense, right?"

No wonder he was valued by a famous teacher at such a young age. He was indeed not a fool, and he immediately understood: "What your lord said is very true, and this grievance cannot be resolved alone, it can only be transferred."

This sounds a bit tricky: "Is there no other way?"

Lu Miaozhu shook his head: "No, this is caused by the willow fairy's resentment. It is necessary to purify the willow fairy's resentment, so as to resolve the resentment of the Shuimang ghost's inability to reincarnate. The underworld has already tried it, but for hundreds of years, the willow fairy has been here. In the underworld, the resentment will not diminish and it will be given back, and now even the King of Hades has nothing to do with him."

Cheng Jin: ... a tyrant in the underworld?It sounds like I have a headache for Hades.

However, as the county magistrate of Yangjian, magistrate Cheng can only express Yangjian's opinion on this: "Does the prefecture allow the water and grass to grow rotten and kill people? The Peach Blossom River in Chuzhong is so far away from here, this Wuzhou Zhu Sheng never harmed that Liu Xian, what does Miao Zhu think?"

Lu Miaozhu: I don’t want my opinion, as long as you think it’s fine, really.

He organized his words before saying: "This matter has also become an unresolved hidden matter in the underworld, it's not because the underworld doesn't do anything."

This is difficult, Cheng Jin has no idea about "removing grievances", and when he sent away the temple, it was already dark, and he found a list from the Guigu witch, which was all those who died after taking Shuimangcao He had just copied a copy of the death list for Lu Miaozhu, and asked him to confirm whether these water reckless ghosts are still in the underworld.

"Master, it's time to eat, what are you still thinking about?"

Ah Cong's voice interrupted Cheng Jin's thinking. He put the list away before going to the front hall for dinner.

Ah Cong's cooking skills are still very good. Even in October, there are still many delicious vegetables in the south of the Yangtze River. Recently, Ah Cong learned a lot of cooking tricks from the local people. The ingredients are simple and the taste is extremely delicious. .

After the meal, did Ah Cong hesitate to say, "Young master, the notice to recruit government servants has been posted at the door for three days. Except for a rich and noble young man, no one else has even a soul. If this continues, what will happen?" good?"

"Anxin, it's not easy for a monk from outside to recite scriptures. It's just started now, just wait." After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he thought of another thing, "But the courtyard is full of people. You can’t take care of things alone, tomorrow you go to the dental office to inquire, and you must tell them that money is not a problem.”

Ah never understood, but he always listened to what Cheng Jin said, nodded in recognition, and went back to work.

The case of Zhu Sheng involved many things. Originally, it was just the poisoning of Shuimangcao, but unexpectedly it also involved the case of Tu Sanniang being poisoned and murdered.After Tu Sanniang's death, the Tu family's parents changed from wrongdoers to perpetrators, which is even more unclear.

Of course, Cheng Jin would not listen to Jinhua Mao’s one-sided words. Human words are sometimes very unreliable, not to mention monster words. But the next day he summoned the Tu family’s parents and Tu Sanniang’s best friend Qianniang, Let the witch confront one of them again.

It's a pity that what Jinhua Mao said is true.

"You vicious, rotten bitch, my Sanniang treats you so well, yet you treat her like this! You bastard! How did Sanniang have any affection for the Liu family man? My family doesn't have any Want to agree to this marriage!"

"My poor San Niang, she was murdered by such a poisonous woman, she is only 15 years old!"

Mother Tu immediately sprayed on the courtroom, crying and spraying, so that Father Tu beside him kept wiping away tears.

Qianniang's marriage was obviously not going well, and the thick powder on her face couldn't cover her pale face. When Tu Mu pointed at her nose and scolded her, her emotions broke down instantly: "Who made her look so charming! This Such a woman, you should die! You two are immortal, and you are not going to get any better. Look in the mirror yourself. Every time I come to the door, you all despise this and that, but you just look down on my family not having money like yours! Why? How noble do you think you are, why don't you spend money to find someone to find a substitute for your foxy daughter!"

Cheng Jin finally couldn't listen any longer, and knocked on the gavel: "Be quiet, if you keep making noise, we'll take care of you."

There was an instant silence in the hall.
