The efficiency of the Daxia Dynasty was indeed high. When they walked on the road for more than half a month and finally arrived at Wugong Town, they saw the yamen runners coming to the notice board next to the town yamen and posted a notice of gold marking and red seal on it. This notice was issued by the provincial governor. The whole article was covered with parallel prose, but the meaning was clear.

The county magistrate of Lubei County colluded with the demon Mei to harm others and had been dismissed from office. The demon Mei was killed by the officials and soldiers of the prefecture. It was a mandrill that ate people. In the cave where the mandrill lived, nearly a hundred chewed bone remains were found, and the number found in the mountain stream and valley exceeded this number.

"I really didn't expect that the mandrill actually ate more than 200 people!" Han Feng said in shock, "It's so many!"

Pan Long couldn't help but plagiarize a famous saying: "The sages said: There are fat meat in the cook, fat horses in the stable, the people are hungry, and the wild are hungry. They are leading beasts and eating people. But that is just a metaphor after all, and the county magistrate of Lubei County really leads beasts and eating people. It's true!"

"It has appeared on Mount Lu for about two hundred years. It has been working with the county magistrate's family for at least several decades. The number of more than two hundred people is evenly distributed over the years, and only a few people a year." Li Qiang said, "In Yongzhou, a few people die in a county town a year, and even passengers passing by outside the country may be silent and no one cares."

Although he said that, after he finished speaking, he sighed deeply.

"Anyway, they can finally rest in peace!"

After saying that, everyone laughed.

Although this matter was not solved by them, it is quite satisfactory to have such a result.

The Great Xia Dynasty is indeed full of problems, but at least in the matter of big trouble, it has not yet reached an irrescueable level.

However, a county magistrate of Lubei County was managed to knock down by them, and a mountain mandrill was killed by them. But in the land of Jiuzhou, how many people were not discovered by them? How many people were not knocked down? How many monsters and monsters are there for harming the people?

Pan Long did not say these words.

Everyone is in a good mood now, so why bother using these questions that are destined to be unanswered to destroy everyone's mood?

In addition to them, many people also came to see this notice that just posted.

The blessing of the county learning system was that many people in Jiuzhou read aloud. Soon they read aloud and explained the meaning of the announcement to everyone.

After hearing this horrifying news, the people were immediately uproared and condemned the Lubei County Magistrate for hurting the world and betraying the law. He deserves to be cut into pieces!

"My fellow villagers are probably right. As Xiaosheng saw, this dog official would be cut into pieces." A scholar dressed up said, "In the law of the Great Xia, even the most unforgivable serious crimes were only for Da Pi (beheading). Ling Chi's punishment was used to harm the heavens and harm the law and to lose all the consciences. For example, a few years ago, a tutor in Fengxiang Mansion raped a young girl, and more than a hundred victims over the years. After the incident, he was sentenced to Ling Chi's punishment. It is said that the families of the victims took a piece of flesh cut by the executioner and went home to feed the dogs, which was evident!"

"Is the county magistrate of Lubei County the same?" someone asked.

"Natural!" said the scholar with a smile, "The evil in the ghost realm is invisible after all! You can wait a moment, and according to what the young student sees, it will take more than a month, and more than three months, and you will see the dog official being lingchi's notice."

Everyone was overjoyed and cheered.

Pan Long and others couldn't help but nodded with a smile, and Li Qiang said with even more anticipation: "Then I really have to wait to see that announcement!"

"It's a pity that we are going to Yizhou." Han Feng sighed, "The case in Yongzhou will not be announced in Yizhou. We can only wait until we come back and read the old news."

Pan Long said: "No matter what, the fate of the dog official will never change. Even if we can't see the result at the first time, it will be the same."

They went to the carriage shop in a happy mood and discussed the issue of selling cars with the owner of the carriage shop.

The boss carefully checked the carriage and said, "This car is very well-made and the price will be very expensive. I can't make a decision easily. If you really want to sell it, you can stay in Wugong for a few days and wait for me to raise some money. By the way... Haha, I'll ask my friends from the yamen to check it out, what is the case with this car?"

Pan Long was stunned. He didn't expect this problem at all.

Han Feng couldn't help asking: "Then how long do you need to check it?"

"It can be as short as three or five days, and it can be as long as more than ten days." The boss said, "This matter is very important, and I dare not play with it."

"Why does it take so long!" Han Feng said unhappily, "You are not happy at all, you don't look like a native of Yongzhou!"

"Please forgive me, I am a businessman, and I am the first priority in doing business. I must not cause trouble." The boss of the carriage and horse store spoke politely, but his attitude was very firm. "If all the guests are impatient and waiting, you can go to other towns. I really dare not take such a risk, please forgive me."

Han Feng looked at Pan Long and waited for his opinion.

Pan Long thought about it and asked, "Can you give me an accurate time?"

"This... I really can't give it."

"Then it's like this." Pan Long said, "Today is already the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it's not a few days before the New Year. We're just celebrating the New Year in this town. Do you have time to do this business before the New Year?"

"Don't worry, guest! It must be too late!"

Pan Long nodded and looked at Han Feng: "Afeng, it seems we are going to celebrate the New Year in this Wugong Town."

"It's good." Li Qiang said, "This is the high mountains and high roads in Yizhou. You can rest in Wugong Town for some time. After the New Year, you can set off with the merchants."

So things settled.

Pan Long and Han Feng left the car at the carriage, and the carriage issued a document to them and also gave them a deposit. Because the carriage was very high-end, the amount of deposit was quite large, enough for an ordinary family to eat for two or three years.

After getting the deposit, they lived in the inn next to Chemaxing. The conditions of this inn were just ordinary, but it was very convenient to have food and accommodation.

After the meal, Pan Long estimated the cost of staying until the New Year, and after dividing a part of it, he handed the rest to Li Qiang.

"What does this mean?" Li Qiang was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Divid dividends." Pan Long said with a smile, "It's a fate to meet in the world. We did that big thing together, so we can be considered friends. This money is just to celebrate the fact that we have knocked down the dog official. Brother Qiang, you can take it home and have a happy New Year."

"Why did Lao Li go home?" Han Feng asked in confusion, and then woke up, "Yes, the car was sold, Lao Li, you are free, we can't take you to Yizhou with you. Well, you just take the money home. This money is not much, but you can still buy a few acres of land to support your family, which is probably enough."

Li Qiang shook his head repeatedly and refused to accept it.

"I was seriously ill and almost died in a foreign land. I had to rely on the help of my boss to save my life. So I promised to work for him for a few years to repay this favor." He said, "I should have paid back his favor now. I can set off easily and take your money again, wouldn't I owe another favor? I am a stupid person, and I owe him a favor, and I can't even walk smoothly!"

Han Feng laughed loudly and patted his shoulder hard: "Old Li, you said so badly! Are we friends? Right? Since you are friends, you are short of money and we have money, what else can you say? Don't think so much, things are actually that simple. You need money, we just happen to have money - what to do, isn't it clear at a glance!"

Li Qiang refused again and again, but Pan Long and Han Feng made an unanimous decision. After all, he could not tell the two of them alone, so he could only sigh and take the bag of silver.

"By the way, Lao Li, you are leaving in the afternoon, right? Where are you planning to go?" Han Feng asked casually.

"Go home." Li Qiang said, "I have been out for several years. Apart from asking someone to send a few letters, I have never been home once. Now there is nothing to do, so I won't be delayed outside. I just happened to go home for the New Year."

"I know you're going home, I'm asking, where is your home?"

"From here to the east, pass Shangluo, about fifty miles east of Luokou Ferry. There is a Lijia Village next to the main road, and my family is there."

Pan Long estimated it for a moment and said in surprise: "When I say so, your home is not far from here?"

Li Qiang smiled: "That's right, with my footsteps, I will definitely be able to arrive within ten days. I will go home before the New Year, and there is no problem at all."

"Then you're going to set off after you finish this meal?"

"No hurry, it's too late today. I'll set off early tomorrow morning."

That night, Pan Long was sleeping in bed when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was a short old man with a pink pointed hat, looking at him with a white beard and smiling.

"Who are you? Why did you come to my room?" he asked in surprise.

The old man laughed: "You can use my name to do things, why can't I come to visit you at night? You have to be reasonable, are you right?"

Pan Long was slightly stunned. He wanted to figure out who it was, but he felt that his mind was in chaos and he couldn't remember it in a daze.

"Okay, don't think about those boring things." The old man said, "You helped me solve a problem. I am very grateful to you. Now my true body is still in seclusion in the mountains, but my soul comes out of my body and is inconvenient to stay here for a long time. I will give you a small gift. If you are destined to do so in the future, you are welcome to Lushan as a guest."

Pan Long was suddenly shocked and immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him. He hurriedly got up, but suddenly sat up from the bed.

But it turned out to be a dream.

But when he turned around, he saw a fist-sized gourd placed next to his pillow, he reached out and picked it up, swaying inside, as if it was liquid, and he even heard a vague sound in his ears.

"A cup of homemade fruit wine can be slightly prolonged. Drinking it in one sip can probably prolong your life for about ten years."

He hurriedly asked about it, but he couldn't get any answer. Only the gourd in his hand was real and could not be false. With a sway, the wine inside swayed.
