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

Chapter 8 Conspiracy, Lanruo Temple
Zuo Dao took a deep look at the county magistrate, and then said with a smile: "That's natural. Since I have the emperor's mandate, I will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations."

“It’s time to put things in order in Youzhou.”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and directly called others to leave the county office together.

After Zuo Dao and others left.

The county magistrate looked at the corpses and blood in his lobby, and an ugly look flashed across his face.

Then he said in a cold voice: "What are you still doing? Find someone to carry the body away and wash away the blood. It's really unlucky."

"He's just a demoted official from Kyoto. He's worthy of showing off in front of me. Sooner or later he will make the same mistake again, just like those damn Jin Yiwei before."

In his opinion, he could be demoted from a prosperous place like Kyoto to Youzhou, where the demons are in trouble.

They must have offended people in Kyoto, and they are also a group of unpopular beings.

It’s not like you’ve never been to Jinyiwei Qianhu in Youzhou, but if you come here, you won’t be able to survive for two or three years. You’ll either die in Youzhou, or you’ll find a way to clear your joints and find someone to transfer you away.

After all, this Youzhou is not a comfortable place like Kyoto.

People can really die here.

The magistrate glanced at the gate, narrowed his eyes slightly, then called the master and whispered a few words in his ear.

When the master heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with some hesitation:

"Sir, they are officials from Kyoto after all. If they do this, wouldn't it be a little bad and they could easily get burned!"

The county magistrate sneered and said: "You can't even get through a dangerous place like Lanruo Temple. If you go to Linya City, you will die sooner or later."

"The person who killed me and wants to leave in peace is not just dreaming."

"It's time to find something to do for these young gentlemen from Kyoto."

After hearing the county magistrate's words, the master nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Guobei County, on the street.

Zhao Hu looked a little ugly and said: "Sir, there is obviously something wrong with the Guobei County magistrate. Just in the lobby, he actually threatened the government officials."

"If you look at it, the county magistrate must have secretly instigated this matter. Why don't we just cut it off together?"

Hearing this, Zhang Long shook his head and said: "No matter how young the county magistrate is, he is still a seventh-grade official. Without conclusive evidence, it will only cause trouble for the Lord."

There is no problem for them in killing those government servants who kill good people and take credit for their merits.

But if you attack officials, it will be a big problem.

Zuo Dao said: "Now we are still close to a hundred miles away from Linya City, and it is already in such a mess. I don't know what Linya City will look like."

It is said that there are countless demons and monsters near Linya City, and they are moving further in, approaching the boundary of Shiwanda Mountain.

But many people from the Jin Yiwei died, not only the Jin Yiwei, but also the Miao people inside were told that it was not easy.

Originally, these Miao people could rely on the mountains to eat and go down the mountains to exchange for some things.

Moreover, they were both subjects of the Wei Dynasty and could be protected by the Wei Dynasty, but they did not dare to cooperate with the imperial court.

In other words, they can cooperate with the local government, but no one dares to cooperate with institutions affiliated with the imperial power such as the Imperial Guard.

Even if their clan members are getting fewer and fewer, they can only silently endure the evil spirits in the mountains.

The group didn't walk long, but when they arrived at a village on the edge of Guobei County, they were stopped by someone.

The person who stopped him was an old man in his 50s, wearing linen clothes full of patches.

Kneeling in front of everyone's horses, he cried and cried: "Please save the young men in our village, and please show mercy and save us!"

Zuo Dao frowned slightly and motioned to the Jinyi guard beside him to help him.

After helping the old man up.Then he asked: "Why did this old man suddenly stop us? What happened to you and the young men in your village?"

The old man cried and said: "To answer this official's question, our village is located on the border of Guobei County, backed by a black mountain. Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village make a living by hunting and chopping firewood in the mountains."

"But since three years ago, few people who entered the mountains came back."

"Some people in the village who were not afraid of death went into the mountain to investigate, and they only saw a temple in the distance. Outside the temple were all the weapons and farm tools of the young adults in our village."

"They were all captured by monsters and taken into the temple. Please ask the official to save me!"

At this point, the old man's crying voice became louder and louder.

These days, the number of young people in the village is getting smaller and smaller day by day. If this continues, the entire village will be wiped out.

Zhao Hu frowned and said, "Why don't you report to the official?"

The old man choked and said: "I reported it to the officials. After the officials lost a team of government officials, they ordered a ban on approaching the temple and ignored the rest."

"They can ignore it, but I want the village to survive! Our village doesn't have much labor left."

Zuo Dao raised his eyebrows and said, "Then who asked you to stop me from waiting?"

The old man glanced into the distance, rubbed his eyes, and said: "Just now, someone went to my home to inform me that a senior official from Kyoto had arrived. When I saw the man on horseback with a sword, I knelt down in front and stopped him, saying that you must He will solve the problem for me."

Hearing this, Zhang Long frowned and said, "Sir, this matter may be a bit strange. Why don't we go to Linya City first to understand the situation before making a decision." '

Zuo Dao glanced in the direction the old man was looking, and then looked back at Guo Beixian.

There was a chill deep in his eyes.

He still couldn't guess that the magistrate of Guobei County was behind this.

Qingzhuang is missing. The ancient temple in the mountain is afraid that there is something strange in the mountain.

But the county magistrate probably never dreamed that he would specifically apply to be transferred to Youzhou just for these monsters.

This might be a miscalculation of his power.

He glanced at the old man in front of him and said, "You go back first, I'll go take a look in the mountains later."

When the old man heard this, a look of hope flashed in his eyes.

He said repeatedly: "Then I'll help you, sir."

Watching the old man leave, Zhang Long whispered: "Sir, I'm afraid someone is doing something secretly and deliberately led us to Montenegro."

Zuo Dao smiled and said, "I know, but so what?"

"The reason why I came to Youzhou this time is to clear out these monsters and ghosts. This time I will go to Black Mountain to have a look. If nothing can be done, I will divert to Linya City."

After hearing the words, several people responded one after another, and then followed Zuo Dao and drove towards Montenegro.

After everyone left, a man wearing sackcloth and riding a horse glanced at a few people and then galloped towards Guobei County.

Zuo Dao and others came to Montenegro and found the temple at dusk.

There was a faint howl of wolves near the crowd.

Zhao Hu saw this and said, "There is so much evil in this mountain, I'm afraid the villagers have little hope of surviving."

The other Jin Yiwei also nodded silently.

Just when the thought of returning home arose in their minds.

But he saw Zuo Dao standing in front of the temple, caressing the stone tablet in front of him, and whispered: "This is such a ghost place, Lanruo Temple, things are getting more and more interesting."
