The silly girl from the farm turned into a demon and performed great deeds

Near noon, we drove to an official post station and saw a plaque that read "Baihui Posthouse".

"Hey, hey, who are you and how come you just came in?" an old yamen runner wearing a straw raincoat and hat shouted with a frown.

Just after he finished scolding, he felt something was wrong. It was raining so heavily that even his feet were almost soaked, but such a big carriage was dry and not wet at all.

Bing Wu got off the carriage and said in a loud voice like a bell: "Old man, we are not staying overnight. We just want to stay for a short while. We will leave after one stick of incense." Then he took out one tael of silver and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

The old yamen runner was a little frightened by the tall man and stared blankly at the two taels of silver in his hand.

Xia Yun and Lin Wanxing got off the carriage one after another.

Xia Yun smiled and said to the old man: "This is the county lady of Qinghe County. This is the county lady's jade card. Please take a look!"

The old man shuddered immediately and was about to bend down and kneel, but was stopped by Xia Yun.

The silver in his hand suddenly felt hot, so he quickly put on a smile and bowed.

"I am Liu Da. I was a little impatient just now and offended the county lady. I hope the county lady will forgive me for this moment."

"Never mind, it's your duty."

Lin Wanxing walked into the lobby and found a clean chair to sit down.

Bing Wu followed the old yamen runner and settled the horse before entering the house.

I looked at the horse and the carriage, puzzled. I reached out and touched them, but they were not wet at all. It was really weird!

Xia Yun poured some tea and sat down. Another yamen runner in the hall came forward and asked, "It's almost noon. Would you like anything to eat?"

"Bring three bowls of vegetarian noodles and ten steamed buns." After saying that, he threw one or two taels of silver to the waiter. Bing Wu happened to come in and thought that his master was such a spendthrift that he gave him one or two taels of silver just for these few bowls of vegetarian noodles.

"Hey, thank you very much, sir. Would you like a few more side dishes?" the bailiff asked doubtfully.

"Just give me two side dishes!"

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

Lin Wanxing waved his hand on the table, and in the blink of an eye, several wine jugs and wine glasses appeared, as well as mutton from the braised food shop in front of him.

Xia Yun smiled enviously and opened the oil paper package.

The old yamen runner walking under the eaves rubbed his eyes, trembled his fingers, opened his mouth, and then ran away quickly.

Lin Wanxing found the old man's reaction quite funny. He drank a glass of water and opened a pot of pine leaf wine.

The whole room was immediately filled with fragrance and the aroma of wine, which attracted people to raise their noses.

Lin Wanxing tasted the wine and thought it was pretty good. The old man's wine was quite good and he would buy some more next time.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, which has already formed a misty rain curtain, and listening to the thunder and lightning, I sighed in my heart!

What kind of unlucky physique does she have? Whenever she goes out, she gets into trouble!

I'm afraid this rain won't stop for three to five days.

"Sir, you ordered three bowls of vegetarian noodles and steamed buns. Here are our pickled radishes and green vegetables. Please make do with them!"

"Young man, do you know how long it takes to get to Jinhe City from here?"

"Oh, county lady, you can't do that. Just call me Yamanashi. I'm afraid it will take another half day to get there. But it's raining heavily today, and the fog is thick, so it's probably going to be more difficult."

At this time, the old yamen runner, who had managed his expression well, walked over with a normal look on his face.

If the county lady is not in a hurry, it would be safer to rest for a night and set off tomorrow when the weather is clear. If she is in a hurry, she can just take the official road and ride fast on horseback, and she should be able to arrive before dark.

"There will be animals in the mountains behind you, running to hide from the rain. Don't chase them away if you see them! Got it?"

Lin Wanxing nodded, and suddenly said something like this without any context!

The old yamen runner and the yamen runner named Yamanashi nodded in a daze.

"I'm afraid this rain will last for three or four days, so you should be prepared for the rain." Lin Wanxing ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes, I'll get ready right away!" The old bailiff nodded hurriedly.

"Wait a minute, is there any maintenance and dam construction on the Yu'an River in Jinhe City every year?"

"I haven't heard of this. Every year when it rains heavily, the water level rises at most, but nothing has happened. The prefect of Jinhe City is the third son of the second branch of the Cui family in the current prime minister's mansion, the son of the aunt of his uncle's family. His surname is Qin and his name is Boyu. He has been in office in Jinhe City for nearly 10 years. I think there will be no problems."

Lin Wanxing...

The corners of his mouth twitched: "It's amazing that my father-in-law still remembers these relatives who came from such a distant place."

“Why did he stay in office for so long?”

The old yamen runner chuckled and said nothing in an ambiguous tone!

Lin Wanxing did not ask any more questions. Why else could it be? It was nothing more than power and money leading the way.

The official system here is basically the same as that of the Tang Dynasty. The only difference is the lack of some detailed titles. The term of office of middle and low-level officials below the sixth rank is four years, while the term of office of senior officials above the fifth rank is generally three years.

How could Qin Boyu, a fourth-rank prefect, be re-elected for 10 years without anyone trying to shake his position? Was he just related to the Cui family in some complicated way?

The official position of the fourth-rank prefect is equivalent to the modern level of municipal party committee secretary or mayor, and the power can be said to be quite considerable.

It is said that three years as a clean magistrate makes you a wealthy man in ten years.

This person has been re-elected for nearly 10 years and it seems he has made a lot of money.

Lin Wanxing couldn't help but sneer. She couldn't help but make malicious speculations about this person. If he was an honest official, she would twist his head off and kick it like a ball.

After understanding some of the situation, Lin Wanxing looked at the dark sky, stood up and said, "Let's set off now and hurry on our way."

"Hey, Princess, it's raining so heavily that you can't even see the road clearly!" The old bailiff frowned and advised worriedly.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, we will be fine. Remember what I told you to do and don't be careless!"

"Yes, I will definitely keep this in mind. Please be careful along the way, my lady!"

The old yamen runner and Yamanashi had just seen the people off and returned to the house when they heard a horse neighing in the backyard!

He couldn't help but squeeze under the bamboo hat to check. This time he took a look, he was shocked. He subconsciously wanted to find something to drive away these ghosts. Suddenly he remembered what the immortal figure had told him.

Looking at the eyes of different sizes in the haystack in the stable, I saw a weasel with mixed white hair, clenching its fists and bowing to the old man and the other man.

The father-in-law was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously and pulled the stupid Yamanashi away.

"Old Liu, didn't you see that there is a red-haired fox in there? How about we catch it and skin it? We can sell it for a lot of silver!"

"Pah... You bastard, you only care about money and not your life. How can you mess with her? Haven't you seen that she has become a spirit? What did the county lady tell you to do? You just said it in a blink of an eye. This county lady is not an ordinary person! It's not an exaggeration to call her a fairy!"

Yamanashi rubbed his head and said, "I'm just saying, I just think that fox is pretty!"

"Get lost! Stop having those evil thoughts! Go, clean up the table quickly! We need to put sandbags there later!"

The more the father-in-law thought about it, the more he felt that today was like a dream. He shook his head and walked towards the utility room.

Here, Lin Wanxing sat cross-legged in the carriage. Xia Yun just felt dizzy. Bing Wu also felt a little dizzy, but his condition was better than Xia Yun.

Lin Wanxing hurriedly gave each of them a spiritual fruit and asked them to eat it.

"Master, why do I suddenly feel so uncomfortable..?"

Lin Wanxing lowered his head and touched his nose: Well, I cast a little magic, and in two hours we will be in Jinhe City.

It's OK to carry people for a short distance, but once the distance exceeds 3 kilometers, the mortal body cannot withstand the pressure of her shrinking the distance into an inch.

"Master, you are so awesome!" Xia Yun's face was pale and dizzy, but he did not forget to give Lin Wanxing a thumbs up.

"Haha, just take a nap and you'll be fine. We'll be there when you wake up!"

Lin Wanxing felt guilty and tried to comfort her.
