I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

The population of the yamen is simple, but it is completely clear at a glance what strangers have entered.

A person he didn't know sneaked into the kitchen in the backyard, which literally had the word "problem" written on him.Now that the yamen is in troubled times, Zhu Fengnian is not stupid, and immediately floated in through the side window.

Sure enough, as soon as he leaned in, he saw a little girl tightly covering the water tank in a panic.

Zhu Sheng is a ghost, ordinary people can't see him, the little girl covered the water cover tightly, and left in a hurry, heading for the front yard.Zhu Fengnian floated to the side of the water tank and lifted the lid, and a sinister aura greeted him.

As a trick, Zhu Sheng threw down the water cover in disgust, and ran to the front to report the news.

After Cheng Jin heard it, he immediately laughed angrily: "It's ok, if it's obvious, it can't be hidden. With this method, it's no wonder that Tangxi can be entrenched for decades."

This is a big irony, Zhu Fengnian has heard of the Qian family's arrogance before, but he did not expect such a rascal: "The Qian family is so arrogant, sir, you must not spare them lightly."

"The Qian family? No, this is not the method of the Qian family."

Who is that?

Zhu Fengnian couldn't guess, but Cheng Jin had already entered the kitchen.

Ah Cong came in from the outside and saw the young master in the kitchen, he couldn't help being surprised: "Master, are you hungry? It's all Ah Cong's fault..."

"No, I'm already full of anger, your young master."

Ah Cong had question marks all over his face.

Cheng Jin didn't explain, just kicked the water tank next to his feet, and said to A Cong: "The water in this water tank is dirty, let's cook with well water today."

"what?"

Ah Cong was in a daze when he saw his young master lift up the water tank with one hand and leave, so what happened?

"Hey, young master, someone came just now..."

Ah Cong chased out and wanted to tell the young master what happened just now, but as soon as he went out, the young master was nowhere to be seen.Originally, he wanted to catch up, but considering that the young master has been busy with important matters recently, he has rejected the matchmaker anyway, so he won't bother the young master with such trivial matters.

When Heishan and Pan Xiaoan came back with their people, they saw a large water tank blocked at the gate of the courtyard.Of course, there is also the horrified Zhusheng ghost next to the water tank.

"I'm talking about the scholar surnamed Zhu, you don't review papers in the room, how come you come here to guard a water tank? Or did your adults know where the water should go, and prepared the Taiping water tank in advance?"

But this also looks like it. Pan Xiaoan has been working with the big demon all the way, and it is quite uncomfortable to hold his mouth. Now that he catches someone who can talk, he naturally chats.

Zhu Fengnian still has lingering fears: "... Can Xiaosheng ask you a question?"

With this expression, Pan Xiaomao immediately regained his spirits: "Just ask."

Zhu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, thinking of the rumors about the maiming of ghosts in the underworld, there was awe in his eyes: "Master Cheng is very strong, isn't it?"

Pan Xiaoan immediately shook his head seriously: "No."

The awe on Zhu Fengnian's face was about to subside, but the prison chief said: "That's not a big problem, but an inhuman problem! His strength is simply inhuman!"

Zhu Fengnian became even more frightened: "What? Mr. Cheng is not human?"

Pan Xiaoan shook his head regretfully: "No, the scary thing about him is that he is really a human being."

Zhu Fengnian: ... So, what exactly do you want to express?

What Maomao wants to express is of course his indignation. Thinking of him as a majestic Jinhua Mao, no one can go to his home if he is successful in cultivation, but now he is trapped by cause and effect and has to work as a coolie in this Qingshui Yamen. Just thinking about it makes him feel sad come from.

When will these days end.

"How did you find out, though?"

Zhu Shenggui pointed to the water tank and said, "My lord just carried it with one hand all the way from the kitchen to here. It is no different from carrying vegetables in a basket."

Pan Xiaomao: Sure enough, it's abnormal!

"Speaking of which, why do I think this water tank looks so unlucky? Is it an illusion?"

Zhu Shenggui shook his head: "It's not an illusion, it was tampered with."

Tsk, Pan Xiaoan opened the water tank and took a look inside. He didn't know if he looked, and he was shocked when he saw it.He didn't care about the awe of the big demon, and rushed into the study behind him.

"Master Sour, it's not good! You don't know how to drink that tank of water, do you?"

Pan Xiaoan rushed in hastily, raised his head and met two pairs of calm eyes.Seeing the worry in Mao Mao's eyes, Cheng Jin shook his head: "Look at me, do you look like you've been drunk?"

"...Not like." It's a pity, if he drank this, he might be able to repay his favor successfully.

Heishan brought a total of seven people back to Qian's house this time. Just now, Cheng Jin was numbering people one by one according to the charges. Just when the last prison file was put into storage, he also just thought about how to deal with the water tank at the door: " Judging by your appearance, do you know what poison is inside?"

"Poison? It's not poison." Pan Xiaoan shook his head, "But you must say it is poison, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it. It's no wonder that you are all from the north. This kind of thing only appears in the south of the Yellow River .”

Heishan is a big demon, and he felt the ominousness of the water tank when he came in, but he was forced to sleep for hundreds of years, and he didn't know much about these fashionable methods of harming people.

"tell me the story."

Cheng Jin couldn't help looking at the autistic monster, who was rarely interested in anything.

"Actually, it's not a new method. At first, this method was very rough. It was used by kidnappers to abduct human cubs. Later, it was discovered by Taoist priests, and fewer people used this method. It is commonly known as 'daxuba' in the south of the Yangtze River. There is also something called 'Taxu'." Pan Xiaoan thought for a while before continuing, "The word 'xu' is actually the animal's animal. In Taoism, this crooked way is called making animals."

"Make animals?" Cheng Jin frowned, for some reason, he felt a little familiar.

"That's right, there are treacherous people who use witchcraft on food to trick people into eating it. Once people eat it, they will turn into animals. Of course, the government will not think of animals when tracking missing persons. This method has been popular for many years, but it is actually rare now. Because the materials for making animals are very expensive, it is very simple to crack, as long as the animals are given water again, they can be restored to human form."

Cheng Jin pointed in the direction of the water tank: "...Then according to your words, the poison is in the antidote?"

What kind of suffocating psychedelic operation is this? !

Before Pan Xiaoan could speak, Heishan spoke first: "No, its effect is still there. Obviously, they want you to become an animal that can't speak."

... Gan.

"That's right, I once heard from my little sister that there was a sorcerer in the Tangxi Mountain bandit. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is true. What's more, the method of making animals has been improved, and you mortals still say that we monsters are terrible , it's clearly you mortals..." Due to the eyes of the county magistrate, Pan Xiaomao didn't dare to say any more.

But obviously, the prejudice of demons against humans has always existed, just like the prejudice of humans against demons.

Angry to the extreme, Cheng Jin, the irritable old man, calmed down instead, okay, do you want to turn him into a beast?Then he gave them a brute.

Hei Lulu keenly sensed the slightly terrifying aura on Cheng Jin: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it is a good thing to punish rape and eradicate evil." Cheng County magistrate flipped through the prison files in his hand, and his eyes fell on the paper, "Our Master Qian gave birth to a good son. There are a lot of human lives, and this quack doctor, why not change his career to be a butcher, do you think they look like animals?"

Pan Xiaoan became a spirited animal, and immediately jumped up: "Hey, you are insulting animals, they are not as good as animals!"

"...What you said makes perfect sense."

Some people are alive, and indeed they are not as good as animals.

A good tank of water is just wasted like this. As a simple county magistrate, it is shameful to waste water resources.The county magistrate of Cheng "showed great mercy" and invited the four most "brutes" in the prison to drink a bowl of sweet soup.

In order not to frighten Ah Cong, Cheng Jin sent him to the Town God's Temple in advance.

After the sweet soup was fed, within three quarters of an hour, the four people who had eaten fell to the ground, their limbs twitched, and they slowly curled up on the ground into "two-headed crows".

Tsk, it's quite localized.

Two-headed black is a kind of pig with black skin on the head and tail. It is very famous in Wuzhou. Its hind legs are also the best material for making local ham.There is a good saying, no pig can get out of Jinhua alive, this heart is really cruel.

"Oh my God, is the current method of animal production so wonderful? It used to be very rough. I saw it once, and it could clearly smell human, but this...can't smell at all." Pan Xiaomao asked "You mortals are terrible" expression on his face.

Cheng Jin snorted: "I'm not human, it's only weird if you can smell it."

... This mouth is so poisonous that it has no limit.

**

It's night, everything is silent.

The lights in the yamen had not been turned on, and suddenly several black figures appeared on the ridge of the roof.

They turned down quickly, leaving only one person standing guard.The night was dim, and the night above was not very bright, but this group of people was well-trained and quickly entered the hall.

"Boss, here!"

According to Huozhezi's photo, it was a plump and strong two-headed crow, which was the standard for slaughter.

"Go find it again."

After a while, they found all four pigs.Someone went to the kitchen to break Ah Cong's newly replaced water tank, and someone went to the cell to release the detainees.However, the lock of the cell could not be unlocked, and the key could not be found.

The leader wanted to take people away first. Anyway, the group of people in the cell would not run away, and they would not die if they starved for two days. They would come back after solving this damn new county magistrate.

Thinking of this, he ruthlessly kicked the pig that had been moved out of the study: "Ah bah! Returning a flirtatious talent from the capital has turned into a pig!"

"Boss, the car at the back door is ready."

After loading the four pigs into the car, the group disappeared into the night again.

"Why did you stop me, he dared to call me a pig, I want to beat them to death!"

"You have to calm down, Mr. Hei, I can't stop him anymore, he is too strong!"

Hei Lulu relaxed his hand: "If you can't stop it, don't stop it."

Cheng Jin: ...Hei Lulu really failed at school.
