I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

"It's only a small amount of money, what do you want?" Pan Xiao'an said a little aggrieved, then turned his head and turned up the volume, "You saw it too, do you want to stay?"

The overbearing and strong aroma of grilled chicken wafted in the air, together with the faint scent of pear blossom liquor, intoxicated and silent for a moment, and said: "I am looking for something in my position, and I think Brother Cheng is doing the right thing, but just one or two , It’s indeed a bit much.”

Cheng Jin has already put down the roast chicken. The skin of the chicken is golden and oily, but the inside is tender and juicy. Some time ago, during the rainy season, the mushrooms on the mountain were delicious. A Cong put the processed mushrooms together with diced ham on the belly of the chicken Here, the chicken belly was broken open at this moment, and the fresh scent rushed to the face, even the kitten, who was still sulking beside him, couldn't help swallowing.

This is also... too fragrant!

"One tael is indeed a lot, so let's go for five dollars, but you won't have any share of the chicken." It was obvious that the county magistrate Cheng had liked to bully cats recently.

Pan Maomao:! ! !How could this be!

He immediately forgot about being intoxicated, looked up and said: "What money is not money, I want to eat chicken legs! And chicken wings!"

Then you really know how to eat it.

Intoxicated was somewhat amazed by the way the cat demon and Cheng Yi'an get along, it's not like the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the yamen, Jinhua cat's attitude puts any other yamen outside, I'm afraid they will be punished by the county magistrate, but Cheng Jin Quite conniving, no wonder this cold-tempered cat demon would come to warn him behind his back.

A yamen with a human touch.

However, does Cheng Yi'an know the identity of the cat demon?

"What are you thinking, eat it while it's hot, isn't it delicious?"

Reveling in his intoxication, he stopped thinking about it, and took the chicken as good as he could, and savored it carefully. It really had a unique flavor, making people want to eat it again: "It tastes great."

"That's right, I originally planned to let Ah Cong go out to open a big restaurant after he has gone through some worldly affairs. Isn't this skill enough?"

Intoxicated: "...Enough is enough."

"Right, I just hope Ah never dislikes me and go to eat three meals a day."

"Brother Cheng is open-minded."

In the middle of the moon, Tao Zui declined Cheng Jin's overnight stay, and returned to the bamboo forest smelling like roast chicken.As soon as he entered the bamboo forest, he saw Aunt Hua rushing out anxiously: "Brother Tao, brother Tao, you are back!"

Tao Zui was surprised: "It's so late, why did you come to the bamboo forest?"

"I secretly came out behind my father's back. Did the county magistrate agree?" Aunt Hua sniffed lightly, "What smells so good, Brother Tao, did you secretly eat delicious food behind my back?"

"No, but An Youyu's illness has recovered, so you can stay at home with peace of mind."

Aunt Hua's face was filled with joy, and then she said a little depressed: "But I don't want to stay at home every day, I want to see Mr. An, Brother Tao, you are the best, you can help the cutest little fairy in the world, Aunt Hua ?"

Aunt Hua was born delicate and cute, and she was naturally very flattering when she acted coquettishly. She was used to being intoxicated and couldn't bear this, but today she said with a stern face: "An Youyu has already set off to study in Fucheng Academy, you go, It can only hinder him from reading."

"I don't see him, I just sneak a few glances at him. If he is in any danger, I can save him in time and repay my father's kindness. Brother Tao, are you right?"

Intoxicated has a headache, and his patience is not as good as before: "Then what is so good about An Sheng that you are so worried about him?"

When Aunt Hua thought of An Sheng, a smile appeared on her face: "He is kind, and he loves small animals very much. He would release the prey he bought from hunters. Don't you think Brother Tao?"

Intoxicated with a blank face, if Aunt Hua fell in love with a talented young man like Cheng Yi'an, he would still understand it somewhat, but An Youyu is a poor scholar, how come...

"I admit that An Sheng is kind-hearted, but..."

"But what, Auntie said, kindness is the most precious virtue of human beings. If a person is talented and capable, if he is a person who is unlucky and selfish, then no matter how successful he can be!" I understand why both father and elder brother Tao object to her getting in touch with Mr. An, and Mr. An is not a bad person who lures monsters to dig out inner alchemy.

She knows that humans and demons cannot be combined, but she can't control herself, she just wants to see Mr. An every day.

"Forget it, I know Brother Tao and Daddy are together!"

Aunt Hua left angrily, but she didn't realize that there were endless waves in the eyes of intoxicated at this moment.

A talented but unlucky person?Intoxicated by this sentence, the memories of his childhood were aroused, and that memory was too painful, so painful that he still dare not face it.

Looking at the deep bamboo forest, he felt extremely depressed for a moment.

Because he was in a bad mood, Tao Zui didn't go to Hua's house the next day, so he naturally didn't know the news that Aunt Hua had run away from home.After staying in the bamboo forest for a long time, he felt that the quiet bamboo forest in the past was a little too empty, and remembering Cheng Yi'an's invitation, he went to Tangxi.

It's also a coincidence that magistrate Cheng is dealing with a family dispute right now.

Wang Cai and Wang Fu are brothers of the same mother. After the younger brother Wang Fu got married two years ago, Wang's father made the decision to split the family. He agreed that the elder brother Wang Cai would provide for his parents' pension and get [-]% of the family wealth, while the younger brother would get [-]%.The family was divided two years ago, and both parties had their fingerprints, which were approved by the elders of the clan.

But it was a coincidence that the father Wang died some time ago. After the funeral, the younger brother Wang Fu wanted to build another house and live in the same place as his elder brother.So he wanted to tear down the old house to build a new one, but he didn't expect to dig out a small box from the foundation, which contained ten gold bars.

This wealth is touching, and after elder brother Wangcai knew about it, he immediately stated that it was the money left by the father of the king, and it had to be divided according to the papers of the family division.Younger brother Wang Fu certainly disagreed, and of course all the money dug out of his family's foundation belonged to him.

The father died, and the two brothers were about to live separately. Obviously, the relationship was not good enough. The two brothers had a quarrel because of the ten gold bars, and Li Zheng came to mediate countless times. They were all broken, and this caused trouble in the Yamen.

"My lord, you must decide for the grassroots."

Wang Cai covered his head, knelt on the ground and cried, while Wang Fu looked angrily, looking at his biological brother as if looking at an enemy.

County Magistrate Cheng: ...

The relationship between the brothers is a bit too plastic, right? Ten out of ten brothers will settle accounts clearly, and the father of the king had the foresight to separate the family before his death, otherwise...the trouble will be even more embarrassing now.

"According to the law, if someone lightly injures him by picking quarrels and provoking trouble, he will be imprisoned for ten days and fined three dollars. Wang Fu, are you convinced?"

Wang Fu immediately said: "My lord, the grassroots are not convinced! He beat me too, why don't you shut him down?"

"I am your elder brother, and the eldest brother is your father. Is it wrong for me to teach you an unfilial son on behalf of your father?" Wang Cai retorted not to be outdone.

"Silence! This is the court, not the ancestral hall of your clan. If you want to quarrel, I will punish you for yelling at the court."

Wang Fu and Wang Cai: How fierce!Who said the new county magistrate was easy to talk to? !

Of course Cheng Jin is easy to talk to ordinary people, but he is not a father to this kind of hob meat, he is used to them!

"Since it doesn't make sense, then come back tomorrow and bring an appeal. If it's still like today, tomorrow the board will serve you."

The brothers of the Wang family resigned reluctantly, and when they went out, they happened to see Tao Zui standing at the gate of the yamen listening to the trial.

"Is it so hard to be a county magistrate?" Tao Zui didn't know that he wanted to break up such a family matter?

Cheng Jin sighed helplessly: "It's been so hard. Look at my hair. If I work for another three years, I might become bald. It's too hard for me."

Intoxicated: ... Thank you for your hard work.

"And look, there are still a lot of paperwork, contract change, change of household registration, just a lot of these chores, Brother Tao, I need your help!" Cheng Jin looked at Tao Zui very sincerely, Tao Zui...had no embarrassment to refuse , especially when he found that there was a hint of ghost on the document.

When Tao Zui was very young, he was forced to change from a human to a bamboo demon, but since he was sensible, his mother hoped that he would study like that person, so that he later became a bamboo demon, and he still fulfilled his mother's wish .

However, after only working in the county government for half a day, Tao Zui discovered that studying and being an official are completely different things.

"Brother Tao, you are right. Studying and being an official are indeed two different things. That's why the Imperial Academy has the reputation of Qingxiu, because all the first-class scholars who can't be officials are all in the Imperial Academy." That's why Cheng Jin was very excited. Resisting the Hanlin Academy, this is really a group of academic bullies all gathered together, eight out of ten out of ten plaques knocked down are first-class Jinshi, the literati are intriguing, it is better for him to help the senior brother resist fanatical female fans.

"……Been taught a lesson."

Cheng Jin got up and went to the backyard to look for Zhu Fengnian after finishing some of his official duties. He prepared a document with the City God's deputy seal for him to bring to the prince in the underworld.

"Remember, let him entrust his dream to give to his two sons. What is the origin of the money and how does it belong, understand?"

After Zhu Fengnian received the paperwork, he immediately went to the underworld.

Tao Zui took the opportunity to come out to look for ghost energy, but he only traced the east wing and disappeared. He was about to leave when the door creaked open from the inside, and it was Cheng Yi'an who came out.

"Brother Tao, why are you here?"

Intoxicated to hide the astonishment on his face, he only said: "I went out to find a place to go to the toilet, but I couldn't find it."

Cheng Jin: ...the latrine is completely different from this place.

When he returned to the study room, he still couldn't hold back his intoxication, and asked: "Yi'an, do you think there is anything strange about the government office recently?"

...That's a lot, for example, his master is not human, his clerk is not human, his prison boss is not human, and his partner is the City God. The clerk went to the underworld to call for foreign aid, but he couldn't say anything about it, so the county magistrate Cheng pondered for a moment, and said against his conscience: "No, Brother Tao has something to say, so you might as well just say it."

Tao Zui: How can you tell the demon directly, you can't say it at all, as soon as you talk about your identity, you will reveal your identity.
