I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 107: People from Kyoto (please subscribe)

After hearing what Magistrate Lin said, a curious look appeared on Zuo Dao's face.

Go nine days away to steal peaches?

This is unheard of and unseen.

He nodded and said: "Since County Magistrate Lin has kindly invited me, I will go with the magistrate and take a look at this strange man who can go to nine heavens to steal peaches."

When Lin Dao heard this, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

Then he stepped forward and led the way, leading everyone in the direction of the county government office.

It was not until noon that everyone came to the county government office.

The county government master looked at Zuo Dao, who came with his master, and quickly moved forward enthusiastically.

A servant brought tea, water, melons and fruits and placed them on everyone's tables.

Zuo Dao was sitting in the upper seat, while Magistrate Lin was sitting in the lower seat. He said to the official on duty: "Go and call Old Man Zhao."

Hearing the magistrate's words, the Yamen servant responded quickly, then turned around and walked out.

After a while, an old man came forward carrying a wooden box, followed by a boy with disheveled hair.

Old man Zhao was stunned when he saw the county magistrate sitting in the lower seat.

Then he hurriedly saluted everyone and said, "The common people have met all the superior officials."

Magistrate Lin smiled and said: "Old man Zhao, you said you could go to the nine heavens and steal the Queen Mother's flat peaches. Is this true or false?"

"The governor of Jinyiwei is here. If you tell lies, you will be punished."

Hearing Magistrate Lin speak, Old Man Zhao glanced at Zuo Dao with a surprised expression, then immediately patted his chest and said, "Sir, please rest assured, Old Man Zhao has traveled all over the world and has never lied."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lin waved his hand and said, "In that case, then you can steal some peaches in front of me."

After hearing this, Old Man Zhao immediately placed the box in his hand on the ground, opened it, pulled out a rope end, and threw it upwards.

I saw the rope head pulling the rope and slowly rising into the air, and soon it was out of everyone's sight.

Everyone in the field looked at it in amazement, and everyone raised their heads to look at the rope in mid-air curiously.

Zuo Dao could see clearly that there was some magic power in the father and son, but compared to Zhao Tong, it was far behind.

After a while, the rope reached the end. Old man Zhao called his son to his side and said, "Tong, please come here and steal some flat peaches for all of you."

Hearing this, Tong'er tugged on the end of the rope, and then climbed up in a muffled voice.

When everyone saw that this hanging rope could actually get people up, everyone was surprised and started talking.

A moment later, a flat peach fell from the sky. Old man Zhao caught it in his hand and came to Zuo Dao with a flattering look on his face.

He gave away the flat peach in his hand and said, "My lord, please try it."

Zuo Dao looked at the flat peach in his hand, and there was actually a spiritual energy in it.

If he hadn't watched the boy drop the flat peach from above, he might have really thought that the father and son knew some secret skills.

Zuo Dao inspected it carefully and then took a bite. It was sweet and delicious, and there was a little spiritual energy mixed in the juice.

It is equivalent to some tonics.

He nodded slightly and said, "Peach is not bad."

When Old Man Zhao heard this, the smile on his face became even thicker.

Immediately, as if he thought of something, he immediately turned his head.

I saw the rope falling from mid-air, and then a head fell from above, which was his son's head.

Old man Zhao's face turned green and red, but everyone around him exclaimed in surprise.

He could only say with a sad face: "My son must have been discovered by the immortal and his head was chopped off."

At this moment, limbs and torsos fell one after another from the sky.

Old man Zhao put it into the box with a sad face.When Magistrate Lin saw this, his face was full of shock.

He didn't expect that what they considered to be just a trick could actually cause death.

He immediately called his master and ordered someone to send some silver rewards to ease the pain of old man Zhao's loss of his son.

When the master heard this, he was obedient and gave him a large reward.

After Old Man Zhao took the silver reward, he glanced in the direction of the left path with some embarrassment, then raised his hand and patted the box.

Then the child was seen walking out of the box intact and saluted to everyone.

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "Not a bad trick."

Others couldn't see it, but he could see that it was just a trick played by the old man Zhao and his son.

But he was a little curious as to where the father and son got the flat peaches.

He threw the peach core casually on the ground and said, "I've finished watching the tricks. It's time for me to go back."

When County Magistrate Lin heard this, he immediately said: "Don't you have lunch here before leaving?"

Zuo Dao waved his hand and said, "No, I have important matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient to stay here longer."

After saying that, he directly mounted his horse and headed towards Linya City.

Wait until shortly after taking the left path.

Old man Zhao carried the wooden box and left the county government office with his son.

On the road.

Old man Zhao patted his son on the head and said, "You damn kid, didn't you see that there was an expert here? Why did the second half also happen?"

Hearing this, Tong'er said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, you never said you wouldn't play the second half."

When Old Man Zhao heard this, he immediately kicked him and said, "Damn kid, you still dare to talk back to your father."

……

a few days later.

Zuo Dao finally arrived near Linya City.

He first ate something outside the city, and then slowly rushed towards Linya City, where the Demon Suppression Division was located.

Not long after entering Linya City, Zuo Dao noticed something unusual about the atmosphere in the city.

In the past, there were people coming and going on the street at this moment, and there was a lot of fireworks.

But today, there seemed to be a lot fewer people in the city, and the voices spoken by one or two people were also much quieter.

Zuo Dao came to the gate of the Demon Suppression Department.

I saw Zhang Long and Zhao Hu actually guarding the door. After seeing Zuo Dao come back, both of them had a look of surprise on their faces.

He immediately stepped forward and led the horse for the left road.

Zuo Dao said: "Is there anything important going on in Linya City recently?"

Zhang Long heard this and said in a low voice: "After Mr. Zhao and the others came back, within a few days, a commanding officer from Kyoto came here, bringing with him the appointment documents and saying that he wanted to take over the Demon Suppression Division."

Zuo Dao frowned slightly. The commander from Kyoto wanted to take over the Demon Suppression Department?
How could their group of guys who are used to enjoying happiness come here willingly to suffer.

You know, Kyoto and Youzhou are simply two extremes.

The former is at the feet of the emperor, prosperous and full of places to eat, drink and have fun.

The latter was originally a bitter cold place, but now there are frequent demons, and there are beast tides once or twice from time to time. The conditions are the most difficult in the Wei Dynasty.

If it weren't for Zuo Dao who had a golden finger, I'm afraid he wouldn't have chosen to come to this place where birds don't shit.

The commanding officer from Kyoto was a fourth-rank official, one level higher than himself. How could he come from that place to pick his peaches in this inhospitable place?
