Half-demon peasant girl has space

Chapter 162 Telling the Truth
He Zhaguan seems to be well-known in Lingshui County, so he found out his residence after casually inquiring.

Qianlian and Beicheng came to the door of a house according to the information they had inquired, and just knocked on the door twice, someone poked his head out from the next yard: "What gatekeeper are you looking for?"

The neighbor was a woman in her 30s.

Qian Lian smiled and said to the woman, "Yes."

"Who are you?" The woman sized up Qianlian and Beicheng, admiring secretly in her heart.

Beicheng laughed and said, "We don't know He Zhaguan, we were entrusted by a friend to bring him some special products."

"Oh." The woman nodded after hearing this, glanced at Beicheng's burden, and said with a smile: "Zhaguan He has a lot of friends, but ah, it's not a coincidence for you to come. The sun is far away."

"Going away?" Qian Lian was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Do you know when he will come back?"

"Oh, I don't know." The woman smiled, "She said she went to visit a friend."

"Do you know where he went?" Qian Lian hurriedly asked again.

The woman laughed and said, "I don't know that. He Zha officials are righteous and have many friends, from all over the world."

Beicheng looked at the courtyard of He Zhaguan's house, and asked again: "Is his family not here?"

"He is single, where is his family from?" The woman hurriedly said: "You don't know, He Zhaguan has a high vision, many people want to marry girls to him, but he doesn't like any of them, hey Yo, young men in their 20s don’t get married, what a worry..."

As soon as He Zhaguan's marriage was mentioned, the woman next door talked non-stop, as if she had opened up a conversation, and finally looked at Qianlian and Beicheng, and said with a smile: "You are brother and sister, right? , it's almost noon, why don't you come to my house for a light meal."

"Uh, no need, no need." Seeing that the woman had finally finished speaking, Bei Cheng hurriedly said, "Since Gatekeeper He is not here, let's come back another day."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the woman's persuasion, she dragged Qian Lian away.

The woman looked at the backs of the two walking away, and sighed in her heart, how beautiful these two brothers and sisters are, if they stay at home for a meal, they might be able to see each other with their son and daughter, it's a pity, they didn't keep them.

When they were far away from He Zhaguan's courtyard, Qianlian and Beicheng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, looked at each other again, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qian Lian patted her chest and said with lingering fear: "This man is simply too good at talking."

If she didn't want to know more from this man, she would have wanted to slip away a long time ago.

Beicheng smiled: "It's indeed a bit noisy."

Qian Lian frowned and said, "There must be something wrong with Gate Officer He. Do you think that ghost from Taichang Lake gave hints to Gate Officer He, or is it attached to him?"

In fact, Qian Lian prefers that the spirit is attached to He Zhaguan. After all, after He Zhaguan went to Taichang Lake, the spirit left Taichang Lake. She and Beicheng originally planned to control it first. This Zhaguan He, if the ghost is really possessed by Zhaguan He, it will prevent the ghost from continuing to harm the Quartet. Who knows that Zhaguan He has gone far away, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Bei Cheng squinted his eyes: "The specific situation is still unclear. Since the Gatekeeper He is not here, we can only go to the county government to ask."

"Alright."

Bei Cheng changed back to his Taoist uniform, and came to the county government office with Qian Lian.

When the guard at the gate saw Beicheng, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "I have met the Taoist priest."

Beicheng flicked his whisk and said, "The two of us are here this time to see your county magistrate, please inform me."

"Wait a minute, Taoist chief, the villain will go in and report." As soon as Bei Cheng said that he wanted to see the county magistrate, the yamen servant dared not be negligent, and hurriedly went in to report.

When the county magistrate of Lingshui County heard the visit of the Taoist priest, he hurriedly came out to greet him: "I have seen the Taoist priest, and my surname is Lei. The Taoist priest is here, and I am far away to welcome you."

"Xiaodao Beicheng, I have seen Lei County Magistrate." Beicheng bent slightly and said with a smile.

"So it's Daoist Beicheng!" Lei County Magistrate's eyes lit up when he heard that, the name Beicheng was well-known throughout the Great Qin Dynasty, but not too many people had actually seen Beicheng, so this Lei When the county magistrate heard Beicheng's name, he was overjoyed.

County magistrate Lei saw Qianlian and Beicheng coming together, although he was dressed like an ordinary person, he did not dare to neglect: "Please come in quickly, both of you."

"There is County Magistrate Laurei." Beicheng said with a smile, and then followed Qian Lian to the Flower Hall with Magistrate Nalei.

The magistrate of Lei County ordered people to serve tea and fruit snacks, and said respectfully: "I don't know why the Taoist priest Beicheng came here today?"

As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, generally there is nothing to do, and Taoist priests rarely take the initiative to come to the door, so Lei County Magistrate only asked this question.

Beicheng smiled and said, "The two of us came here today because of the ghost in Taichang Lake in Changfeng Town."

"Oh?" County magistrate Lei hurriedly clasped his hands to Beicheng and said, "Could it be that the spirit of Taichang Lake was subdued by Taoist priest Beicheng? Here, Mr. Lei would like to thank the Taoist priest for saving the people from suffering."

Saying that, Nalei County Magistrate saluted Beicheng.

Qian Lian frowned slightly and said, "Did County Magistrate Lei listen to what Officer He Gate said about the Taichang Lake spirit being taken in?"

"Exactly." County magistrate Lei smiled and said, "I heard that there was a ghost in Taichang Lake in Changfeng Town that day, so I sent He Zhaguan to find out what happened. Then He Zhaguan came back and said that the ghost had been killed before he arrived. The Daoist took it away, so it must be the Daoist Beicheng."

Beicheng frowned and said, "Magistrate Lei's words are wrong, Beicheng has not subdued that monster."

"Oh?" County Magistrate Lei said, "So, there is someone else who subdued that spirit."

"No one subdued that spirit." Bei Cheng said lightly.

County magistrate Lei was startled: "No one subdued it? Is it possible that the ghost in Taichang Lake is a fake?"

Bei Cheng said solemnly: "Magistrate Lei, the two of us came here for this matter today, it is true that there is a ghost in Taichang Lake, but no one subdued the monster, but I don't know why Officer He would hide the truth. "

"What!" Because Zhaguan He has always been rigorous in his work, County Magistrate Lei never thought that Zhaguan He would lie, and when he heard what Beicheng said, he stood up in shock: "Master Beicheng, what do you say?" Is it true?"

"It's true."

County Magistrate Lei gasped. It had been more than half a month since Officer He Zha came back from Changfeng Town that day. If the spirit in Taichang Lake had not been subdued, how many people would the spirit have harmed during this time?

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Lei broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his back. If his superiors asked him, he would be punished!
"Then... now that spirit is taken away?" County magistrate Lei felt a little panicked, praying that the Taoist priest Beicheng had already subdued the spirit.
