I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

Both Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan felt that the voice that stopped them was familiar.

But they don't have many acquaintances in Zhoucheng.

Xue Qingshan is fine, he has a few old friends and comrades in arms.

But Qin Shaoyou came to Zhoucheng for the first time, and he had no acquaintances here, so who could it be that not only knew them both at the same time, but also called them so affectionate?

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan looked in the direction of the voice with doubts.

I saw a few people in scribe robes standing on the street not far away. Beside them, there are still servants carrying lanterns serving as guards.

Both Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan have good eyesight. When they saw these people, they knew that they were all officials.

One of them, a thin scribe in his thirties, was overjoyed when he saw Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan turn their heads.

He first explained a few words to the friends around him, and then walked towards the two of them quickly, smiling as he walked, "It's really you, I saw that they looked alike, so I called out tentatively, and I really didn't recognize the wrong person."

Qin Shaoyou felt that this person looked familiar, and he should be someone the original owner knew, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember the other person's name and identity.

On the other hand, Xue Qingshan was stunned when he saw this person, and then he was overjoyed: "Lao An? An Xiucai?"

The scribe smiled even happier: "Haha, it's just me."

At this time, Qin Shaoyou recalled the identity and name of this person.

This person nicknamed 'An Xiucai' was his fifth brother-in-law An Mutong.

When Fifth Sister married An Mutong, he was still a poor scholar studying in Luocheng.

But Qin Daoren and Fifth Sister took a fancy to his character and didn't mind his family background.

After the fifth sister got married, Qin Daoren gave An Mutong a lot of financial support. Later, An Mutong passed the examination as a scholar, and Qin Daoren used his connections to help him find a job as a teacher in a school in the city, so that he could teach and support his family at the same time. , while continuing the scientific research.

Five years ago, An Mutong passed the Juren examination and passed the provincial examination. With the help of the same year, he found a job in Zhoucheng, and moved to Zhoucheng with his fifth sister.

But two years ago, the family entrusted someone to deliver a letter to Fifth Sister. When the person came back, he said that An Mutong's family had moved out. As for where they moved, he couldn't find out.

As a result, the contact with Fifth Sister's family was severed, but it made Qin Daoren and Qin Li's heartbroken for a long time.

He didn't expect to see An Mutong again today, and he was still here in Zhoucheng.

So the person who delivered the letter two years ago said that An Mutong and his family moved out, so what happened?

Was it the messenger who made a mistake and they didn't move at all?

Or did they go back and forth, and then return to Zhoucheng?

Qin Shaoyou's heart is full of doubts.

He and Xue Qingshan went forward together, exchanged a few greetings with An Mutong, and then asked these questions.

An Mutong looked surprised: "Two years ago? At that time, I should have just passed the Jinshi examination and was waiting in the capital to be awarded an official, so I took your fifth sister to the capital. No, when your fifth sister was leaving, there was Someone sent you a letter. Why, didn't you receive it?"

"No." Qin Shaoyou shook his head.

"Mostly, the person who delivered the letter encountered an accident on the road, so the letter could not be delivered." Xue Qingshan speculated.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, especially in today's chaotic world, so Qin Shaoyou and An Mutong nodded in unison, agreeing to this guess.

Xue Qingshan looked An Mutong up and down, and jokingly said: "So, Lao An, you are a Jinshi? Hey, I can't call you An Xiucai from now on, you have to be honored as Jinshi Master."

When An Mutong was still in Yizhou, Xue Qingshan had a good relationship with him, and would often help him out. The two of them were used to joking.

An Mutong glared at him, and said angrily, "Get out, did I ever call you Master Zongqi?"

Xue Qingshan laughed out loud.

Qin Shaoyou said: "Fifth brother-in-law, don't you know? The third brother-in-law is no longer the general banner, and has been promoted to a hundred households."

When An Mutong heard this, he immediately bowed his hands to Xue Qingshan: "Oh, it turns out that you are now the master of a hundred households. I have met the master of a hundred households."

Come on, hurt each other.

The smile on Xue Qingshan's face froze instantly, his expression very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly helped out, and asked, "Fifth brother-in-law, why are you back now?"

An Mutong let Xue Qingshan go, and replied: "I was elected as the magistrate of Mianyuan County. I just received the appointment last month, and I rushed back all the way without stopping."

"Mianyuan County?"

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan looked at each other.

Is it such a coincidence?

Seeing the reaction of the two, An Mutong was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan did not hide it from him, and told An Mutong concisely about the case that happened in Mianyuan County.

After finishing, Xue Qingshan told seriously: "Lao An, when you arrive in Mianyuan County, you must be more careful. After all, the Black Lotus Sect made trouble there not long ago. Although a group of them were arrested and killed afterwards, there must be more people." The remnants of the Black Lotus Sect exist, so we must prevent them from creating new troubles."

After hearing this, An Mutong was amazed: "I knew something about the case you mentioned before I came here. It's just that I didn't expect that this case was solved by you. In this way, I can be a member of Mianyuan County. The county magistrate has something to do with the two of you... Zi once said, "Fate is beyond words. It really is so!"

Qin Shaoyou looked astonished: "You still said that?"

An Mutong coughed and said, "That's not the point. The point is that you, Shaoyou, have become the chief banner officer of the Zhenyao Division. Your Fifth Sister will be very happy when she hears the news. And Qingshan, you actually When I became the Hundred Household Officer of Luocheng Town Demon Division, I will take care of Mianyuan County a lot in the future."

Xue Qingshan responded immediately: "This is natural." Then he asked in confusion: "However, Lao An, how did you get selected as the county magistrate of Mianyuan County?"

He asked for a reason.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty did not have the requirement of "Southern officials in the north, and others in the south", they also had the rule of "no official within five hundred miles of their hometown", and even in most cases, they were officials from other provinces.

An Mutong laughed and said, "Why not? You forgot? Although I am studying in Luocheng, I am not from Luocheng."

Only then did Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan remember that An Mutong was indeed not from Luocheng. His hometown was in Baishi County, Bacheng, which was more than five hundred miles away from Luocheng and Mianyuan County.

The reason why I went to Luocheng to study at the beginning was because a great Confucianist gave lectures in Luocheng at that time, and there was no tuition fee.

An Mutong went on to say: "Actually, the magistrate of Mianyuan County this time was originally appointed by someone else, but later someone suggested that Mianyuan County had just experienced a catastrophe, and that someone who understands the local situation should be appointed. Only in the past can the situation be stabilized, and this is why I was chosen..."

Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan nodded together, so it makes sense.

An Mutong also said: "I originally planned to stay here in Zhoucheng for a few days to get in touch with former friends and colleagues in the officialdom in the future, and then set off for Mianyuan County to take office. On the way, I passed Luocheng At that time, I will take your fifth sister home and let her meet her parents and siblings after a long absence. I didn't expect to meet you two here tonight."

Having said that, he paused, and asked suspiciously: "So, what are you two doing in Jincheng? Why are you here?"
