Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 134 Taking office
Hu Qian greeted the door, and saw a Jin Yiwei standing in front of the door.

When he saw Hu Qian, he asked, "Is the young master Hu Qian?"

"Exactly."

"Hu Qian accepts the order!"

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:
Hu Qian of Jinling, who repeatedly solved important cases and won the hearts of the people, was given the same background as Jinshi to make up for the lack of county magistrate in Guobei County. "

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After receiving the imperial decree, Hu Qian said: "On a mission, please come to the mansion for tea."

"No, I'm on business, so I'll take my leave.

In addition, Lord Ruan asked me to send you my greetings. "

As he said that, he even gave Hu Qian the complaint.

Hu Qian was taken aback, but before he could speak, Hu Tong hurried back.

"Qian'er, what's going on?"

After Hu Qian told the story, Hu Butong immediately frowned and sighed, "It's not good to go anywhere, but I went to Guobei County."

"What happened to Guobei County?"

"Let's talk in the house."

Entering the main hall, Shen Yuzhen hurried over and stood behind Hu Qian.

Hu Qian said: "My lady, don't be here, go and pack your things, I'm leaving today."

"Why did you go in such a hurry?"

"The imperial decree has been issued, and we have to go."

"Then... what about the concubine and the younger sisters?"

"Huanniang is pregnant, so it's inconvenient to travel far. How about this, you, Ning'er, and Chuchu will follow me to take office, and let Axiu stay and take care of Huanniang."

Shen Yuzhen hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate, Mr. Xianggong, let's talk to Dad first, and we'll talk about the accompanying matter when we go back."

After speaking, he hurried away.

Hu Qian turned around, "Father, what's going on?"

Hu differently said: "Do you still remember that Lord Nie Changfeng we met before?"

Hu Qian's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't that Nie Xiaoqian's father?

"What's up with him?"

"He died last year! His wife, Nie Hanshi, and his daughter, Nie Xiaoqian, died in Guobei County together."

"Nie Xiaoqian... is dead?"

When Hu Qian's family came to Jinling before, Hu Qian once persuaded Nie Changfeng not to provoke ghosts and ghosts, so as not to cause death.

Apparently, he wasn't listening at all.

When we met for the first time, Xiaoqian was just 17 years old and turned [-] last year.

"How did they die?"

"Say it's sick.

But this is not the point. Last year, Fan Wenguang, the former county magistrate of Sanshui County, made up for the vacancy of the county magistrate of Guobei County. As a result, he died of illness within a few months.

It is said that the cause of death and death are exactly the same as those of the Nie family.

Since then, no one has dared to take over.

So, where you go now, how can I rest assured. "

Hu Qian said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not that Dad doesn't know the child's abilities."

"But……"

"Besides, since the emperor has issued an imperial decree, can he still resist the decree?"

Hu Tong shook his head and said, "Oh, this is a very embarrassing thing."

Hu Qian got up and said: "It's not early, my boy, go back and clean up first."

When I came to the west courtyard, I saw that Shen Yuzhen had placed a large table in front of the main room with two sandalwood boxes on it.

"Clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, packed up and put inside.

Xiaohuan, find Xianggong's fan!

The charcoal basin and jerky must also be brought, for eating on the road!

No, the soles of these shoes are too thin..."

She was busy at the door of the north house, Rong Ning'er was busy on the other side, Axiu, Lu Huanniang and Chu Chu all stood on the side with lonely expressions.

Hu Qian asked strangely: "What? Just let Ning'er accompany me alone?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "Lianlian is still young, it is inconvenient for Axiu to go out, let alone Huanniang.

Chuchu and Ning'er are left, I asked them to draw lots and choose one to accompany Xianggong to Guobei County. "

Hu Qian looked at Shen Yuzhen and said, "Alone? You're not going either?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "If the concubine goes away, there will be no one to take care of Axiu and Huanniang.

Furthermore, it is really cruel and unethical for all the concubines to go and leave her alone. "

"That Chuchu..."

Shen Yuzhen shook her head and said, "Your Excellency is going to take office, so you don't need to bring too many family members with you, so as not to be distracted.

There is a disaster in Guobei County, and I don't know the specifics of the situation, so it is enough to just bring Ning'er and Yingcai to serve the husband.

Of course, if Xianggong thinks it's inappropriate, he can bring Chuchu with him. "

Hu Qian said: "The lady has considered it very appropriately, so let's arrange it like this."

After speaking, he looked at Axiu, Lu Huanniang and Chu Chu and said: "You don't have to worry, I will pick you up after I settle down there."

Axiu said: "The concubine is not in the way."

Chu Chu said: "Elder sister didn't go, so how can I have anything to say about myself?"

Lu Huanniang said: "With Chuchu playing the piano and singing for me, I won't be lonely, but... the husband must make arrangements early.

We've only been together for a few days, and we have to part again..."

Said and shed tears.

When she cried, Shen Yuzhen, Axiu and Chu Chu all cried too.

Hu Qian walked over and hugged them in his arms, comforting: "Don't cry, I will pick you up as soon as possible.

When you are at home, nothing else matters, you must wear the golden talisman next to your body. "

Several people nodded in agreement.

After talking for a while, Hu Jiu shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Master, the carriage is ready."

Hu Qian asked him to come in and move the box to the car. He was about to leave when he turned back and handed the 1 taels of silver bill to Shen Yuzhen.

"My lady, please take care of things at home."

Shen Yuzhen said: "Master, take care all the way."

The family sent Hu Qian to the door, Hu Qian, Rong Ning'er and Yingcai got into the car, and Hu Jiu raised his whip to Guobei County.

After leaving the city, seeing Jinling City disappear from sight, Hu Qian and the others felt a little better.

Hu Qian said, "Ning'er, are you okay?"

Rong Ning'er suddenly hugged Hu Qian's arm, "Although I am a little uncomfortable, I am more happy to be able to come out with my husband."

Hu Qian smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's your style.

But the first two magistrates both died in office, aren't you afraid? "

"With my husband around, I am not afraid of anything."

Hu Qian hugged her and sighed, "I'm not afraid of ghosts, but this drought is very difficult."

As we spoke, the sky gradually darkened.

In the evening, I finally arrived at a small town and found an inn.

Seeing Hu Qian, the waiter immediately smiled and said, "My lord, are you staying at the hotel?"

Hu Qian said: "Yes, three rooms are required."

Xiaoer said: "Master, I'm sorry, there are only two rooms left."

Hu Qian asked strangely: "Is your business so good?"

Xiaoer said: "The business used to be normal, but it has increased in the past two days."

"why?"

"Master, to tell you the truth, these days, mages often come to invest in the shop."

"Mage?"

"Yes."

"What mage?"

"It's the kind of mage who subdues demons and catches ghosts."

"What's wrong? Are there ghosts around here?"

Xiaoer suddenly looked around mysteriously, and whispered: "Master, I told you, don't be afraid! We don't have ghosts here, and if we go forward, there is a drought in Guobei County.

I heard that it will come out at night, and do nothing else, just pick up water from the ground to the old grave..."
