I have a magical tree

Liang Zuo, the head of the Qing Li Department in Fucheng, received orders from the Fuchun to patrol Xiazhou County and just arrived in Qingyun County today.

When he learned from the villagers that there was an ogre demon here, and the young men in the village gathered together, vowing to take revenge and destroy the demon, he knew that something was wrong.

After his investigation, he found that those who settled here should be Yan Chengdao of the Yan family and Master Linghe of Linghe Temple. Among those young men, the one with the highest cultivation level was only seventh grade, and there was only one of them. How could they be two Grandmasters? A strong opponent, what's the difference between that and dying?

So he rushed here in a hurry, trying to save these people by virtue of his identity, but in the end he was still a step too slow.

"All the young people in the village are here!" Another official looked sad, "These are hundreds of families!"

Liang Zuo's face was as pale as paper, and his lips trembled, "I was ordered to inspect the prefectures and counties in the government, but it is my fault that the people under my rule suffered this misfortune!"

"Master, the fault for this matter lies entirely with the Yan family and Linghe Guan!"

Liang Zuo shook his head and took a deep breath, "This matter must be reported to the Palace Master, and justice must be sought for these hundreds of people!"

"But, I can't leave for the time being. I want to stay here to protect the remaining women and children from the evil spirits. Which of you is willing to go for me?"

He looked at the officials behind him. Most of them had evasive eyes. In fact, most of them had no feelings about this matter. It's just that some villagers died, what's the fuss about?

The boss of my family is too kind. In fact, this kind of thing is rare in other state capitals?

Although in Taizu's imperial edict, those who massacred the people should be executed, the imperial edict is the imperial edict, and reality is reality. Even the emperor himself did not abide by Taizu's edict, so how could he make the world abide by it?

"Why not use a hawk to send the message through the inn?" someone asked in a low voice.

Liang Zuo shook his head, "This matter can not reach the ears of the governor, or it can be made known to everyone, but it cannot be seen on paper, let alone pass it through the official post!"

Seeing the document and passing it through the official post, the matter is considered final. Once it is confirmed, Nangong Fuzun must make a deal with it, otherwise how can he convince the public?

Nangong Nei was his benefactor, but he couldn't force his benefactor to make a decision. Therefore messages can only be delivered privately.

At this time, the two officials who had just spoken took a step forward and said, "Director, I am willing to go!"

"I'm willing to go too! Even if I risk my life, I will definitely send the news here to Fucheng and deliver it to the hands of the Lord!"

Liang Zuo looked at the remaining officials, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then looked at the two people who spoke out, "You know, it is getting late, and traveling at this time is very dangerous. There will be a narrow escape from death!"

"I know!" they both said in unison, "but we are willing to follow you, Chief, because we believe you are a good official."

"The world is so big that there are countless officials, but there are not many good officials left! Only the Lord of the Palace and your lord are worthy of our service!"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The two of them were only in the seventh level. If they were on this journey, they might really die.

Liang Zuo nodded and patted the two of them on the shoulders, "If I can bring the news, I will remember it as a great achievement for you!"

Then the two of them turned around and left. They had to leave as soon as possible while it was still dark. The road after dark was not easy!

The situation around Fucheng is complicated. There are still many road sections that have not been repaired. Many post roads have long been abandoned because they are not on important roads.

Many sections of the road are not even as safe as the section from Yanghe to Fucheng.

Therefore, they could only walk as long as possible while it was still dark.

And although this trip is dangerous, it is not fatal. If they are lucky and don't encounter monsters along the way, they can reach Fucheng safely. If they are unlucky, it depends on whether their fate is tough enough.

After the two left, Liang Zuo's face darkened, "What are you still doing? Move the body out and let the women and children in the village come to claim it, and then help with the cremation and make arrangements for the funeral!"

The officials accepted the order one after another. They knew that the timid behavior just now had made their impression in the head of the department extremely bad. If they were still ignorant, they would be in trouble.

Liang Zuo was a rare selfless person in the city. He was originally just an official, but with his ability in doing things and caring for the people, he won the favor of the government officials, and then he rose through the ranks and became the head of the Qing Li Department.

Although many of them don't actually think highly of him, they feel that this person is too rigid and demands everyone according to Taizu's decree in everything, which makes many people miserable.

Without looking at what era it is now, or who the emperor is now, what is the use of Taizu's imperial edict? Besides Liang Zuo himself, how many others can be found?

…

At dusk, Yan Chengfu and Xu Kun waited nervously outside the quiet room. They were obviously anxious, but they did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing Mr. Cui.

Not long after, just when Yan Chengfu's patience was about to run out, the door to the quiet room finally opened.

Cui Lao walked out with a tired face.

Yan Chengfu and Xu Kun stepped forward hurriedly, "How is it? Mr. Cui, is it done?"

Cui Lao nodded and took out four strange scales from his sleeves, "After my sacrifice and refinement, these four mirage dragon scales have become magical. If you hold them in your mouth, you can see the trajectory of the dragon bead using the mirage master's method of reflection."

"Okay!" Yan Chengfu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Young Master will be here soon. If Mr. Cui doesn't come out, I'm afraid I can't help but break in!"

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Even Xu Kun, who was standing by, looked a little relieved. Although he didn't know how to explain to Master Linghe, he really couldn't be blamed for this. What could he do? There was no way to stop Huang Ji from using the Jiao Soul!

"Don't worry, Brother Xu. The change in this matter is really not your fault. I believe Master Linghe will not be too harsh!"

Xu Kun thought to himself, if Master Linghe was really a reasonable person, that would be great! The key is that he is not reasonable at all!

Moreover, when he heard Yan Chengfu say this, he could hear a sense of guilt from it. To put it bluntly, the person in front of him was actually afraid!

Do you think Yan Chengdao is a reasonable person? He is also a fierce person who believes that those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will die!

"It's getting late. I estimate that with the pace of Master and your young master, they are almost here! Let's go to greet them as soon as possible!" Xu Kun reminded.

At this time, even if you can't do much, you have to try your best. I just hope that Master will see that he is still useful and not vent his anger on him.

Yan Chengfu nodded repeatedly, and then he and Xu Kun came out of the Jing'anfang station and went to the east of the city to greet them.

In fact, when the two of them sent the letter, they were cunning and deliberately postponed the time of sending the letter. The purpose was to let these mirage dragon scales have been sacrificed and refined before the young master and his party came. In this way, although they did not find the dragon pearl, they finally had something to hand in.

If you can't take out anything and have no gains, then you are worthless. People who are worthless will eventually be abandoned!

They can already imagine the anger of the young master and Master Linghe after seeing the letter. If they don't want to be implicated by this anger, they can only resort to this last resort.

So, this time, the two of them had a tacit understanding and decided to postpone the time of sending the letter to noon today.

Otherwise, they should have sent the letter last night.
