I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

It was just difficult, not impossible, and Hei Shan immediately understood what Cheng Jin meant.

"I want to take a trip to the Peach Blossom River in Chuzhong, and I will reserve the position of master." After speaking, Heishan disappeared in place, and Magistrate Cheng reasonably suspected that Heilulu was shy.

Hey, my master is so pure and innocent, I hope I won't be deceived.

Eh!No, the small treasury of the bandit is still on the body of the black deer, the bridge bean sack, don't rush to leave!

Pan Xiao'an came in with the food box, and saw Cheng Jin stretching out his hand to Yu Hui to persuade him: "Which one is this?"

"Where is Master Hei?"

The county magistrate Cheng replied very vicissitudes: "Oh, the master has absconded with the money."

"...Can you speak some human language?" Mao Mao felt that the thoughts of mortals were too difficult to understand.

Cheng Jin bared his teeth: "No."

Hmph, if you can't, then you can't. Kitten Pan picked up the food box and left. He shouldn't be soft-hearted and deliver food to others. This kind of person should starve to death.

However, before Maomao could turn around and take two more steps, someone grabbed his clothes and was unable to move an inch.

Mao Mao finally exploded: "It's amazing how strong it is!"

"Yeah, don't you think so?"

Because he was too funny, on the way back to the Tangxi yamen, Pan Laotou resolutely refused to say a word to a certain county magistrate, and when he got to the yamen, he ran to Zhu Shenggui to vomit his bitterness.

Cheng Jin didn't stop him either. He picked two veterans to serve as government servants this time. One, surnamed Niu, was 35 years old from central Shaanxi. He was easy-going and had no relatives in his hometown. The other party said yes.The other surnamed Gao, 26 years old, did not have a family. It was said that he was withdrawn, disobedient to discipline, and did not get along well with others in the army. He was "dissuaded" by the army.

But as soon as County Magistrate Cheng saw Gao Xu, he felt that he was very good at fighting, and his eyes were clear, so he made the offer without even thinking about it.

"Our Tangxi yamen has a simple staff. Over there is the residence of the yamen servants. You each find a room to settle down, and then come to the official."

"Yes, my lord."

After dismissing the two new yamen servants, Cheng Jin took the pig cart to the cell, yes, he brought the four pigs back as they were.To be honest, the way General Yang looked at him at that time was wonderful.

After putting the four pigs in the cell, the county magistrate Cheng opened the snuff bottle, and the dying two-headed crow instantly turned into a human being.

The leader is Qian Yuanwai, the richest man in Tangxi.

"Oh, is Master Qian in good health?"

Master Qian was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head, he just hugged himself and shivered.And his good son was even more cowardly, rolled his eyes immediately, and passed out.

"Don't worry, Wusheng Village is just the beginning."

Cheng Jin knocked on the cell door, speaking not only to Qian, but also to the bandits in other cells. After all, he didn't come to Tangxi to play every house.

**

Wushengzhai was taken over, and the news spread throughout Tangxi's large and small villages within an extremely short period of time.

Some people were terrified, some people couldn't sleep at night, thinking about the evil ways of the new county magistrate, the other two village owners couldn't sit still.

"Old He was chopped off, will it be our turn next?"

"No, calm down, he's a boy with no hair yet, old He was capsized in the gutter, the important thing now is, have you heard any news about Mr. Wizard?"

"I heard that he escaped?" asked Lei Zhai of Wufu Village.

Village Master Feng of Datouzhai nodded: "I also got the news. This old He relied on the wizard to suppress you and me in the early years. Now he is abandoned by the wizard. He deserves to be arrested by the government."

"What? Abandoned by the wizard?"

"That's right, so we won the favor of the wizard before the others. In this way, the Maotou county magistrate has nothing to fear."

Maotou County Magistrate, who was in the Tangxi County Government Office at the moment, sneezed hard.

Pan Xiaomao immediately gloated: "Someone must be scolding you behind your back."

Cheng Jin: I think so too.

"Speaking of which, you were the one who released the rumors about the wizard outside, right?"

Cheng Jin immediately looked at the kitten with admiration: "How to say?"

Mao Mao remembers to eat but not to fight, and immediately said proudly: "Who else is there besides you, you are the only one who is so treacherous, Master Hei won't be so boring."

"I see that your skin is itchy again!"

Mao Mao was so frightened that he ran away on the spot, but after running away for a while, he came back again: "My lord, Ying Qubing has woken up."

Ying Niang originally had no ambition to live, but after seeing her brother dying, she immediately hid the dagger and carried her brother down Wusheng Mountain.

Most of the people who were rescued from Wushengzhai were asked to leave after being asked about their identities. A small number of those who were in poor health were placed in Fucheng by Yang Can. Back, determined to take his younger brother and Cheng Jin back to Tangxi.

Along with the siblings of the Ying family, there was also the medicine girl.

Ying Qubing did wake up, but his body was really not in good condition. Cheng Jin asked a doctor to see him. It was a miracle that he was still alive due to his congenital deficiency and physical deficiency.

Ying Niang looked at her younger brother and kept crying, "It's all my sister's fault. If I didn't take you out for a walk back then, you wouldn't be like this now."

Ying Qubing was too weak to speak, but his eyes were soft. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe away his sister's tears, but he couldn't even lift his hand.

Cheng Jin couldn't bear to go in.

"Why don't you go in?"

As soon as Maomao lied, all the people inside turned their heads. Compared with the Ying family siblings, the medicine girl girl shot over with vigilant eyes in an instant. Seeing that it was Cheng Jin, she closed her eyes.

"You don't need to be too polite, I just came to see how his body is doing?"

Ying Niang wept and said nothing, but Ying Qubing's eyes were very relieved. He was already very satisfied to see the beasts in Wusheng Village go to hell, and to see his sister again.

The siblings talked well and were obviously from good backgrounds. Cheng Jin felt compassion and said, "Actually, the local Town God's Temple is very effective. If Mrs. Ying is free, she can go to worship."

A county magistrate persuaded people to worship the gods, which in itself was against harmony. Yingniang thought of the cat fairy she met that night, and suddenly hoped in her heart: "Thank you, my lord."

Watching Cheng Jin leave, Ying Niang wiped away her tears and decided to go to Chenghuang Temple immediately.

"Qubing, wait a minute, sister must cure you."

After Yingniang comforted her younger brother, she immediately went out to the Town God's Temple.After Mrs. Ying left, Cheng Jin went back and said, "Don't worry, I won't do him any harm."

The girl who made Ying Qubing medicine shaked her head, and said with some difficulty: "He is a good man."

The medicine woman girl regained her composure when she heard the words, and stood obediently by the bed. In fact, she was also very thin, only slightly better than Ying Qubing. Her face was frighteningly pale, but she didn't eat, drink or speak, and just watched Ying Qubing silently. Qubing.

"Anything you want to ask, sir, just ask."

What Cheng Jin wanted to ask was of course news about wizards.

When Ying Qubing mentioned that wizard, his chest heaved and heaved: "He's a demon..."

Sure enough, as Cheng Jin expected, the old man who blew his soul didn't have a few words of truth in his mouth, and the poor little boy who suffered a fire in his childhood was all lies.According to Ying Qubing, the old man worshiped the evil god as his master, learned a skill of magic, and experimented with human life and soul in Wushengzhai. He and the medicine girl Xiaoqing were both experimental subjects.

"for what?"

Ying Qubing whispered two words: "Longevity."

Cheng Jin had a feeling that this was indeed the case. When he mentioned to Heishan that he wanted to learn magic, Master Hei's reaction was very strange. Now that I think about it, there may be precedents.

There is nothing wrong with people seeking longevity, but killing other people's lives for this, which is stained with blood and longevity, is not the case.

There is also the Peach Blossom River in Chuzhong, where the Shuimang grass can grow from the Peach Blossom River to the branch of the Wujiang River. He doesn't think it's a coincidence. If there is a chance, Cheng Jin would like to meet the Liuxian who has a rough love.

**

Cheng Jin was not in a hurry to harvest Wufuzhai and Datouzhai. Firstly, he was going to play psychological warfare. Secondly, because Heilulu was not around, it would be too risky for him and Jinhuamao to go up the mountain alone.

That being the case, let the rumors of the wizard fly for a while, and by the way, change the notice outside the yamen, and think about how to recruit those bandits in the small cottage and let them "disarm and return to the fields".

In fact, except for a small number of bandits in mountainous areas, most of them are caused by poverty and disease.

In fact, many small villages in Tangxi did not rob the passing merchants. First, there are not many merchants now, and second, most of them go to the mountains to avoid taxes and survive.

So, you still have to get rich.

Is there any industry that can promote mountainous areas and make people rich?

It is true to rely on mountains to eat mountains.Tangxi is mountainous, and the vegetation on the mountain is lush. It used to be mainly medicinal materials.But in ancient times, the cycle of planting medicinal materials is too long, and if you want to see immediate results, unless it is the means of gods.

Of course, the local farming industry is also quite good, but pork is expensive in modern times, but it was not popular with dignitaries in ancient times.In other words, pork cannot be sold at a high price.

As for making ham, that is again a very long cycle of work.

Cheng Jin thought of greenhouse vegetables.

Speaking of greenhouse vegetables, it is very common in modern times, and the structure of greenhouses is also very simple. Cheng Jin worked on a private farm a long time ago, and everything is easy to say if he wants to realize it in ancient times, but it is difficult to find a replacement for the existence of plastic film. Taste.

It needs to transmit light and keep warm, and the cost should be low. Is there such a thing?

Still, compared to trying to invent plastics, it is easier to fire glass. After all, although the existing glaze technology is expensive, it is not impossible to improve, is it?

"Lao Niu, go to Tangxi and ask if there is any skillful craftsman who can make kilns."

Catcher Niu quickly took the order to leave, Pan Xiaomao crossed his legs and wondered: "What are you doing to burn the kiln? This is the south, so there is no need for a kang."

"Do you still know Pan Kang?"

"That's how cold it is in the north. My cat is shivering with fur, but it's really not a place for cats." Thinking of it, Pan Xiaoan felt chills all over his body.

"You've already grown up, are you still afraid of the cold?"

Maomao instantly exploded: What's wrong with being afraid of the cold!This is nature!
