I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

Xu Lang finally knew what the corrupt life in feudal society was like.

The clothes are being washed.

If you are hungry, someone will cook.

When you are tired, someone will give you a back rub or a massage.

Just one word to describe it: cool!

It's not that he wants to abuse Xiaoyu, but this girl insists on doing so.

He had told Xiaoyu that there was no need for this.

But Xiaoyu is very stubborn.

Like, asking her not to call him son, but she would never change her tune.

What else could he do?

of course.

Only he can enjoy this kind of treatment.

As for Lao Bai, haha...

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

this day.

It was the date Xu Lang went to Shicheng County.

Xiaoyu got up early and prepared a hearty breakfast.

"Sir, the county is far away, so you won't be hungry on the road if you are full." Xiaoyu said.

Xu Lang smiled. As far as the county seat was concerned, it was only an hour or two away.

It would be faster if he rode a horse.

While he was having breakfast, Xiaoyu also helped him pack his bags.

Inside was a change of clothes and some dry food.

After eating.

It's time for Xu Lang to hit the road.

Riding a dark horse.

Wearing a green shirt, a baggage hung slanted on his shoulders, and a long sword was slung behind his back.

He looked very much like the knight who traveled around the world, and was indescribably high-spirited.

"Let's go. If you hurry, you'll be back in two or three days. Take care of my home and don't let anyone burn it again."

Xu Lang gave instructions to Lao Bai and Xiaoyu.

Then he turned the horse's head and clamped the horse's belly suddenly. The horse roared and galloped away.

Amidst the smoke and dust.

The figure gradually faded away.

-

gallop all the way.

It's not yet noon.

Xu Lang saw a city stretching across the land from a distance.

The city wall is nearly seven meters high.

For Xu Lang, who was used to seeing tall buildings in his previous life, this height may be nothing.

But in this era, it is an incredible project.

Once a war breaks out, we must rely on it to defend against foreign enemies.

The walls look ordinary.

But the quality is undoubtedly high.

This kind of wall structure wrapped with blue bricks and rammed earth in addition to the rammed earth layer can withstand even the bombardment of artillery.

Above the tall city gate, there are three big black characters: Shicheng County.

Because it was not a war period, there were only eight soldiers guarding the entrance to the city gate.

Make a group of two.

Pedestrians with small luggage will be let through directly.

As for merchants with carriages and goods, they will do a little inspection to check whether they are carrying dangerous goods or prohibited goods.

After passing through the city gate. .

It's a straight street.

There are peddlers and pawns on the street.

People come and go.

Shout out.

Very lively.

The original owner had been to Shicheng County.

With the memory in his mind, Xu Lang knew the way to the Yamen without asking anyone.

After riding half a stick of incense, Xu Lang arrived at the center of the county town.

The Yamen of Shicheng County is here.

The gate of the county government office is much larger than the red lacquer gate of ordinary large houses.

There is a huge plaque above the gate.

There are two big characters "yamen" written on it.

The handwriting is dignified and neat, giving people a solemn feeling.

On both sides of the gate.

They are two mighty big stone lions, majestic and arrogant, seeming to pounce on the evildoers at any time.

Besides.

Next to it, there is a big drum.

Also called the drum of injustice.

If anyone has a grievance, go and beat the drum.

The county magistrate will go to court to hear your grievances, then summon relevant personnel, etc., and finally judge who is right and wrong.

of course.

If there is no grievance, those who beat the drum of grievance will be dealt with according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

It's as easy as hitting the board.

At worst, you'll have to go to jail.

Since there was no case to be heard, the yamen door was naturally not open.

But there was a person standing next to the Yamen.

a familiar person.

Tan Ming, Wang Liu's deputy.

"Xu Shaoxia!"

As soon as he saw Xu Lang, Tan Ming immediately came up to him and helped Xu Lang take the reins of the horse.

"The county master and the catcher are waiting for you in the house!"

Tan Ming said while leading the way.

Next to the county government gate, there is a side door leading into the government office.

Usually there are no cases to be tried in the yamen, so they always go through the side door.

County government residences generally have the structure of a former government office and a rear residence.

It can be divided into three parts.

Lobby.

Two halls.

Three halls.

The lobby is the place where cases are heard.

The second hall is where the county master works daily or receives visitors.

The third hall is the living place of the county master and his family.

Entered the side door.

Tan Ming handed the horse to the gatekeeper and continued walking inside with Xu Lang.

Walk through a corridor and come to the second hall.

In the second hall.

Two people are sitting.

This was the first time for Xu Lang to meet the most powerful person in Shicheng County.

It was an old man with some gray hair.

Wearing casual clothes.

Ordinary looking.

But he was in high spirits.

A pair of seemingly cloudy eyes seem to be able to see through time.

Under him sat Wang Liu.

"Master County, arrest the head, Young Master Xu is here!"

Tan Ming came forward and cupped his hands.

Then stood aside.

"Xu Lang, a grassroots man, has met the county master and Wang Shatou."

Xu Lang cupped his hands and said.

Although Wang Liu and he were called brothers, it was more appropriate to address their positions in this situation.

"Brother Xu, you are here!"

Wang Liu greeted Xu Lang.

"I've heard about Xu Shaoxia's name for a long time. It's been a hard journey. Please take a seat."

The county master stood up and motioned for Xu Lang to sit aside.

The maid on the side immediately brought tea.

"Xu Shaoxia, have a sip of tea first... Wang Captou and I were chatting about Xu Shaoxia just now. Haha, I really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here, haha..."

The county master said.

Xu Lang took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Am I late?"

"No, no, no, it's not too late at all."

The county master said: "On the contrary, you arrived early!"

Wang Liu said at this time: "Originally we planned to set off today, but one of the masters is delayed due to something and will have to arrive tomorrow. Therefore, we can only set off again at noon tomorrow."

Speaking of this, he apologized a little: "I should have told Brother Xu about this in advance, but we just received the news, so I'm really sorry..."

Xu Lang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, just wait for one more day. It's a rare visit to the county, and I can just go shopping."

The county master said: "Xu Shaoxia, I will ask you to arrange a place for you to rest later. I will treat all the heroes to dinner later. I wish everyone all the best in advance."

The three chatted for a while.

Xu Lang then left the Yamen.

After leaving the Yamen, Tan Ming took Xu Lang to an inn not far from the Yamen.

this way.

During the chat with Tan Ming, Xu Lang also learned that except for the "master" mentioned by Wang Liu, everyone else had arrived.

They are also arranged to stay in this inn.

"Xu Shaoxia, I still have work over there, so I can't spend more time with you. If anything happens, just tell the shopkeeper and he will arrange it for you," Tan Ming said.

Xu Lang nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Tan is here soon, so you go ahead and do your work..."
