I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

I haven't heard that there is such a potential danger of repaying favors when releasing wild animals these days?

Strange and useless ancient consumer knowledge has increased again.

At the market in Xishui Town, Cheng Jin saw that the red fox was born beautifully, with shiny hair and no stray hairs, so he had a rare heart of compassion, so he bought it for ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver can be used for a year for a simpler family, so A Cong still remembers it in his heart when he traveled far away.

When the red fox heard Cheng Jin's words, he immediately burst into tears: "But Mr. Lang is in Xishui Town, and he has already bought the slave's house~"

Cat: what! ! !Is it so exciting? !

"It was a red fox that I bought in Xishui Town, not you."

"The red fox is my servant."

County magistrate Cheng stretched out his hand: "Then you give me ten taels of silver, and our business relationship will be terminated."

Pan Xiaoan began to applaud silently in his heart: wonderful, so wonderful.

He turned his head to look at the fox, and sure enough, the fox had a look of disillusionment on his face, or he didn't know how to react.Hey, he was also disillusioned at the beginning, and it was indeed very heartbreaking to have such a benefactor.

"Nujia, isn't it beautiful?"

The red fox didn't understand, when an ordinary man saw her, he wished his eyes would grow on her body, how could it not work when he came to the benefactor's place.It was the same last time, she managed to find a benefactor, and wanted to repay her kindness with her benefactor in the middle of the night, but she didn't expect that the benefactor opened his mouth to be an assassin, and was scratched by this broken cat.

Last time she was a benefactor and didn't see her face clearly, now in broad daylight, why is her benefactor so honest?

Hearing this, Cheng Jin nodded happily: "Beautiful."

"Then why is the benefactor unwilling, but what did the slave family do wrong?" After hearing this, the red fox was even more puzzled.

Cheng Jin can't figure it out either, why is the way this monster repays kindness so single and eclectic, can't it be changed to a more positive way of repaying kindness?Even if you send him money directly, he is willing to accept it.

Does he look like a pervert?

"Beauty is your capital, not mine. Besides, why should I accept it when you repay your favor? Forcibly giving me things that I don't need, do you call this repaying your favor?"

Maomao's happy face: Fortunately, fortunately, the little sister didn't agree to his method of giving her body!

The red fox's face suddenly panicked, what is an unnecessary thing?her?

"Sorry, what I said may be a bit harsh, but what I did at the beginning was not for your kindness, and you were a fox at the beginning, but now you are a human, and your life was saved. Without my vassals, it is still rare to read those words of body promises in the world, those are just some scholars' imaginations about romantic things."

"What? Fake?! It's impossible!"

The case is solved, this is a fox obsessed with love stories.

"Which is right and which is wrong, the girl can check for herself."

The red fox didn't care about repaying the favor, and walked away from Mao Mao, looking at the back and looking a little panicked.

Maomao: "...you're bluffing again."

Cheng county magistrate turned his head: "No, I don't have any."

"Come on, I have seen women in the world make love to their saviors in the street before. It is still a good story. Only the fox is young so he can be deceived by you. But then again, To be caught by a hunter is really lacking in intelligence." Mao Mao consciously commented very objectively.

County magistrate Cheng raised his eyebrows, and he was not in a hurry to engage in official business: "Do you think that is a good story?"

"Is not it?"

"You also said that you are on the street, so many eyes are watching, and according to the ethics of the world, a man saved a girl. Do you think that girl has a second choice?"

"Huh?" Mao Mao was stunned for a moment, "But after that, they lived happily."

"That's something to do later, is it related to the way of repaying the favor?" Cheng Jin spread his hands, "So, it's unnecessary, really unnecessary."

Pan Xiaoan: ...the rules in your world are really complicated.

Just when Mao Mao was suspicious of Mao Mao, Catcher Niu quickly came in and reported: "My lord, there is another woman asking to see me outside."

What?Another one?

Maomao's eyes immediately shot over: How many monsters have you saved! ! !

Cheng Jin was inexplicably guilty: "... please come in."

When someone came in, County Magistrate Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Shang Sanguan, the merchant's youngest daughter. He thought it was some kind of monster repaying his favor.

"Is your father's affairs settled?"

Shang Sanguan was holding a basket in his hand, and nodded when he heard the words: "It's done, my father came in a dream last night, saying that he was relieved and wanted to die."

"That's great. Now that the Qian family has collapsed, do your two elder brothers still want to take the imperial examination?" If he can pass the exam, it will also be his political achievement. Of course Cheng Jin has to ask.

Shang Sanguan said that she will take part in the boy's test in the spring of next year, and she came today to thank her.

"You don't need to thank me. I am Tangxi's parent officer. Since I take on this role, it is only a matter of my duty. The imperial court will pay me a salary." So, take the thank you gift back.

The county magistrate is really a wonderful person, but it's a pity that men in this world stick to various rules.Just like her ex-fiancé, who only knew to let her come in early when her father died of illness, and even thought of skipping the ceremony, obviously he was not a good man.

Shang Sanguan insisted on leaving a thank you gift, saying that it was just some wild weeds, not worth much.Cheng Jin couldn't push it, so he had to accept it.

As soon as the person left, he found that there were many precious herbs under the basket.

"Look at the family, did you agree with your body?"

Maomao: ...The stories in the scriptures are all deceiving demons.

In addition to herbs, there are many wild delicacies in the basket, as well as wild bamboo shoots and wild mushrooms, which may be more expensive than beef in modern times.

"What fresh mushrooms, what do you want to eat tonight, master?" Ah Cong felt sorry for his young master, since he came to this Tangxi, either suppressing bandits or defending people, the last time he didn't close his eyes all day and night, he was so tired and thin up.

"Then make a dumpling with three delicacies, fry half of it, and make the other half into a sour soup, then make an eggplant box, and make a grilled fish."

A Cong proposed a large piece of boar pork: "Master, wasn't you a glutton for meat a while ago? I just bought it early this morning. Would you like to make a braised pork so that you don't add a drop of water?"

"...I can't, I'd better eat lighter recently."

A Cong: ...Master, that's not what you said in your eyes.

What else can Cheng Jin do? Recently, he has seen a lot of two-headed crows. He worked as a pig mover in nature for a while, and now he still has a little animal ptsd, so he has to wait a while before eating.

But speaking of making animals, there hasn't been much progress in playing with glass recently, so he should go to General Yang Shen to suppress the bandits first.

"Master, are you leaving again?"

"Don't worry, it's okay, once you are born and twice you are familiar."

A Cong: ...

After eating delicious dumplings in sour soup, Cheng Jin set off with Mao Mao the next day.

It's just that Kitty Pan didn't quite understand: "Why are you dressed like this? You're a fortune teller?" Is it necessary to look so ugly?

Cheng Jin stroked his beard and put down the curtain of his hat: "I asked Ying Qubing, and that wizard never looks at people with his true face. In other words, no one in Wufuzhai and Datouzhai has seen him. They are all looking for a wizard, do you think I look like this?"

Pan Xiaoan: "Like, like a big-headed ghost."

"If you speak disrespectfully to the court officials, you will be fined one tael of silver."

Maomao jumped up instantly: "I haven't charged your expatriate fee yet, but you still deducted money from me. I only have three taels a month. You are so dark-hearted!"

"That's right, the punishment is painful, so that you can have a long memory." Cheng County magistrate has his own set of fallacies, "And you, can you become thinner, preferably like Ying Qubing?"

"what are you going to do?"

County magistrate Cheng smiled slightly: "Of course it's to spy on the enemy. I asked some basic information about the wizard before I went out. I won't reveal my secrets after a few days of acting."

Is it so exciting to play?You are simply a chicken thief than a bandit.

Maomao slanders in his heart, but his actions are very honest. He likes to watch a good show: "What should we do? Send it to the door automatically?"

"That's so cheap, let them invite us back."

"How?"

Of course, it is to create conditions for people to discover, and then invite him back.

When the sorcerer saw it, he was sure to retaliate. Cheng Jin asked someone to release the rumor that the sorcerer had a disagreement with Zhaizhu He.In order to sound more real, he also made up details such as the wizard cast a spell to temporarily disappear the maze and lead the officers and soldiers into the mountain. Not to mention, if he heard it, he would feel quite believable.

And such a "proud" temperament, of course, needs to be invited back.

**

In Wufu Village of Wufu Mountain, the owner of Lei Village was fidgeting. He always felt that something important was about to happen, but after thinking about it, he didn't find anything abnormal.

It was at this moment that someone came to report from outside.

"Village Master, Master Wizard has news."

"What? Where is it? The news is true?"

"It's true. The sixth son went to visit in person. It must have aroused the disgust of the wizard. None of his subordinates showed up. Village master, do you want to notify the people in Datou village?"

To, or not to?

In the past, the three-legged rivalry, the owner of Leizhai was thinking of annexing the other two villages every day to become the king of the mountain, but after he was taken away from Wushengzhai, people in the village were panicked, and the relationship with Datouzhai became more and more tense.

Village Master Lei shook his head without thinking, "Of course we can't inform them, do you want me to die sooner?"

At the same time, a similar scene took place in Datouzhai.

They are all selfish people, how could they miss the opportunity to become the king of the mountain? Cheng Jin took a good look at the hearts of the people, so he dared to set up a dragon gate and wait for someone to jump into the pit.

Of course, if no one comes to dance, he has no big loss, it's just a few more days of delay.

"You said, will they really come?"

Cheng Jin ate fried chestnuts with sugar: "Wait until you see it and you'll find out. I said I will come, do you believe me?"

Of course Pan Xiaoan shook his head: "Of course I don't believe it, which monster have you ever seen would trust a mortal!"

I know what you are doing and what you can't do, and you are the No. 1 naysayer.

However, before Cheng Jin could speak, Maomao pointed to the east in surprise: "... Huh? There is a roe deer, who seems to be looking for someone?"
