The demon world I designed.

Chapter 57
Why are there so many people asking about the houses in Liuzhou today?
Gu Beiquan felt that something was wrong, even if he was a fool, why did he appear one after another?
With faint uneasiness, he hurried to visit the next one, and after half an hour, he got the same answer again. Until then, no matter how slow the reaction was, he realized that someone was deliberately playing tricks!
He hurriedly urged the housekeeper to go back to the county government, preparing to chase after him with the servants.

As a result, as soon as the men and horses were ordered, the instructor Liu Yiqi saw it and stepped forward to ask, "Where are you going, Mr. County Magistrate?"

"Go and stop people!" Gu Beiquan didn't like this Liu Yiqi who liked to put on his old status at all, especially when the other party was forced by that guy Chen Qing.

Liu Yiqi frowned when he heard the words, the housekeeper quickly explained a few words, and Liu Yiqi immediately understood the situation: "It seems that Chen Qing must have messed up, trying to coax those masters back."

"Hmph, what do you need to say?" Gu Beiquan snorted coldly.

Liu Yiqi suppressed the anger in his heart, and rationally analyzed: "My lord, although Chen Qing's method is a little tricky, but you directly bring the yamen servants to stop people like this, what name are you using?"

"Eh?" Gu Beiquan was taken aback by these words.

Yes, what name do you use to stop people?

Those masters all went back to Liuzhou to pack their things, so why should I stop them?
Even if you are a parent official, you can't mess around with these well-known Confucians.

Thinking of this, Gu Beiquan became even more annoyed: "Could it be that he is going to cheat people back like this?"

"My lord, calm down..." Liu Yiqi smiled helplessly: "My lord, you can't forcefully bring people back, and Chen Qing can't forcefully detain them either. It's not like you don't know the current situation in Liuzhou, so what's the use of playing those little tricks ?”

"I also know..." Gu Beiquan said irritably, "But I always feel that something is wrong, and then Chen Qing is not stupid. With such a famous trick, will there be no back-up?"

"Your Excellency thinks highly of him." Liu Yiqi said with a disdainful smile: "He is a courtier with no background and no ability, what can he do to solve Liuzhou's affairs? If Liuzhou's affairs are not resolved, even if he talks about it, those masters will not Can't stay."

"This is really..." Gu Beiquan felt a little better when he heard this.

"As long as we prepare the banquet and entertain those masters after they return disappointed, we will surely keep a lot of people. Even if a great Confucian like Master Feng cannot stay, are Master An and Master Liu just from a family background? Master, can't we stay?"

"Hmm..." Gu Beiquan finally nodded, and thought to himself: Although this Liu Yiqi usually likes to act like an elder, what he said this time is still reasonable, and he really overreacted.

Thinking of this, he said: "Then this banquet will be arranged by the instruction of Lao Liu."

"How can you call it hard work?" Liu Yiqi smiled and saluted immediately: "I will not let you down, my lord."

There was a sneer in his heart: this guy is finally willing to let himself do something, if it wasn't for the fact that these masters left matters related to his teaching achievements, he wouldn't bother to take care of them.

After the matter of retaining the wife is stabilized, I will concentrate on culture and education, and keep a distance from the county magistrate. With the reckless temper of the other party, something will happen sooner or later, so don't drag yourself into the water...
-
On the other hand, because of the operation of Gu Bei and others, more than a dozen masters from Luling County who used to study and teach in Liuzhou Prefecture were all recruited. Luling County is not far from Liuzhou, and the masters who arrived early did not arrive In the evening, we arrived at the South Gate of Liuzhou.

At this time, seeing the scene at the door, everyone became surprised.

"Oh, Master Feng, are you here too?"

When Mr. Feng got out of the car, he was taken aback when he saw a group of fellow travelers. His wife was still chattering in the back, complaining about what his master was doing in this creepy place, but he was also stunned when he got out of the car.

"You guys, what is this?" Master Feng felt that he had been tricked.

Immediately, a group of people smiled wryly and recounted their experience. Master Feng also smiled wryly when he heard the words: "It seems that this new magistrate is playing tricks, but pity us old bones."

"Who said it wasn't?" said a teacher next to him, "However, what's interesting is that Liuzhou is now more lively than expected."

Feng Fuzi heard the words and looked towards the door. He remembered that someone said before that after Liuzhou officers and soldiers were transferred away, Liuzhou became a dead city, and the caravans on the canal all went to the other two piers. , just pick up?

There are quite a few caravans piled up at the gate, and by visual inspection, there are dozens of them, at least a thousand people. Although this is not as good as when Liuzhou was once prosperous, it is a world of difference compared to the time when Liuzhou was as desolate as a ghost town.

"Do you know the reason?" Master Feng asked curiously.

"I've inquired about it, and the new magistrate is exempt from Liuzhou's commercial tax!" A master stroked his beard and said, "It's a bit courageous. As soon as the news came out, some merchant ships piling up on the river chose to come here to try their luck. , some big commercial shopkeepers also came here to receive the goods with the mood of giving it a try, so far, it seems to be going well."

"Drinking poison to quench your thirst..." Mr. Feng shook his head when he heard the words: "Although this can bring some backflows in a short time, it can't solve the fundamental problem. Without commercial taxes, the government has no money, how to maintain law and order in Liuzhou? The law and order is poor, sneak in There will be more ghosts and ghosts, and there will be troubles, and then I will really lose my wife and lose my army!"

The masters on the side all nodded when they heard the words: "Master Feng is right."

Master Feng sighed, but a trace of disappointment rose in his heart.

At first, I thought that there was some turning point in Liuzhou, but it turned out to be such a small trick. If so, I would definitely not move back. It seems that I still have to urge Nanming Mansion.

Just as he was thinking, a bright light shot up into the sky at the gate of the city ahead, and the masters who had never seen this battle backed away in panic.

Most of them are aware of the existence of ghosts, but since the beginning of the Great Jin Dynasty, they have never seen any ghosts so rampant that they dare to show up at the gate of the city in the clear sky and broad daylight?
"Where is the evildoer, how dare you offend me in Liuzhou!!"

The phantom of the white wolf is much bigger than it was on the first day before, it is four or five feet high, and the voice is powerful and powerful, and the masters who are more than a hundred meters away can hear it clearly, but the voice is not harsh. With an inexplicable majesty!

Some familiar people bowed down one after another, while some newcomers felt inexplicable, but not panicked. They always felt that although the huge white wolf looked mighty and scary, it actually gave people a sense of security. feel scared...
But there are exceptions, and that is a certain evil spirit who is stared at by the white wolf!
I saw the plump rich man in fancy silk lying on the ground, trembling, and foul-smelling yellow water began to flow from his ears and nose, and everyone around him backed away.

In the next second, there was a shrill and sharp sound, and a bloody hole was opened in the rich man's fat head, and a half-meter-long strange maggot came out, roared and fled quickly towards the rear!

"You still want to run away after being murderous?" The white wolf roared angrily, "Take it down for me!"

"Yes!"

The two guards at the door dropped their spears and rushed towards the maggots.

The maggot was very fast, like a water snake, walking close to the ground, many people couldn't catch up with their eyes, and the direction of fleeing happened to be the direction where the masters gathered. A group of elegant scholars staggered back in fright.

But the panic didn't last long, after just a few breaths, the two guards at the back rushed up like tigers and wolves, and took down the bug before it rushed to the masters!
The maggot let out a roar, and opened its mouth wide to reveal its densely packed fangs, but before it could move, it was crushed into a meat paste by the guard who caught it!

The green juice exploded, scaring the masters to hide, but the experienced masters calmed down at that moment.

"Is this a worm demon?" Master Feng asked in a low voice, looking at the worm that had exploded into meat paste.

"Sir, do you know this thing?" The guard wiped the juice from his face and asked with a smile.

Master Feng resisted the nausea in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for your help!"

He knew about it. In the Jiangnan water town, the most incidents happened along the Hong Kong state capital were water ghost incidents and insect monster incidents. Water ghosts like to hide in caravans, and insect monsters like to hide in seafood.

Those who love raw fish are the easiest to fall for. Once they are parasitized, their appearance is no different from ordinary people, but their brains are actually eaten up. Can harm the whole family!
Masters who know the inside story never follow the example of those nouveau riche who pursue the so-called seafood and fish.

But this kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with, although it is rampant, because it is difficult to find.

"Sir, you are too polite!" The soldier hurriedly replied, "A small soldier at the gate of the city, so he can be called a general?"

Master Feng was puzzled when he heard the words. In fact, he wanted to ask just now, with the opponent's skill, how could he be just a small soldier in the city?

I'm afraid it's the personal soldiers and lieutenants of some aristocratic families, they may not be so powerful, right?
"Gentlemen, are you going to enter the city?" Another soldier stepped forward and saluted: "The gentlemen should be dressed as scholars, right? The prefect has ordered that scholars can enter the city first. Gentlemen, please..."

Dajin has certain strict regulations on clothing. Although merchants are allowed to wear silk to promote consumption, they are not allowed to wear blue shirts and white clothes. These two kinds of clothing can only be worn by scholars and medical students. It is a felony for any merchant to wear them privately. .

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw this group of white-clothed old men, they knew that Gu Bei and his group should have done their job well.

"Okay, okay!" Master Feng nodded with a smile. It seemed that he had underestimated the new magistrate just now, and it turned out that he had someone behind him.

When a group of people came to the door, the soldier just presented the twitching corpse of the worm monster in his hand, and saluted: "The monster has been executed, please return to the door god!"

"Master Door God, please return!" The other soldiers also shouted.

"Wait a minute!" This time, the white wolf did not return immediately, but looked at the seafood fish and shrimps pushed in by the boys behind the rich man just now.

"Do you still dare to hide? Show up!!"

With a sharp shout, the frozen fish and shrimp jumped up, and in the next second, hundreds of maggots with long thumbs came out, with a strong fishy smell, making the surrounding people cover their noses and back away!

These maggots were obviously not as strong as the large maggots that sucked human flesh before. They writhed and died on the ground within a few breaths under the sun, and were directly trampled into meat sauce by a group of soldiers!

The next moment, the white wolf looked at some people at the door again: "You have eggs in your body, you need to expel them in time, otherwise your life will be lost."

The faces of the people who were seen turned pale when they heard the words, and when they remembered the horrible tragedy of the friend just now, they all kneeled down on the ground with their feet limp, while some who reacted quickly bowed and kowtowed: "Please, Lord Door God, save me!"

"I can't do anything. This needs the power of the spring water of the Nanshan Mountain God to treat it. You can be recommended by the government to meet the mountain god, or you may have a chance!"

After speaking, before the begging person at the door could react, he dissipated with the wind.

Seeing this, a group of people knelt down and kowtowed, and the white light gathered on the city wall, and the soldiers guarding the gate felt more powerful.

Mrs. Feng and the others stayed in place in a daze.

This scene is a bit too shocking to the three views, even if they are a bit knowledgeable, they can't react.

"Master officers and soldiers!" The businessman who was named for having insect eggs just now hurried forward and pleaded, "Is what the gatekeeper said just now true?"

"What the door god said is naturally true!" The soldier guarding the door couldn't listen to the door god's questioning because of his belief, and frowned, "Don't you think the lord is going to lie to you?"

"No, no..." Those businessmen shook their heads repeatedly: "Where is the mountain god that the door god said? Can you invite us to visit?"

"This has to be reviewed by the government." The officers and soldiers looked at the people and said, "You guys have insect eggs, which is very dangerous. After entering the city, you must follow the officials and don't run around, otherwise you will be forcibly expelled if you are caught. Liuzhou, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood!" Several people nodded one after another.

"Okay, Qi Da, you take a few of them there."

Then he looked at the masters: "Gentlemen, please go to the city."

Master Feng nodded, and looked again at the place where the so-called door god disappeared just now. He was full of doubts in his heart, but seeing that the soldiers guarding the city were so busy, they didn't delay them, so he decided to go into the city to have a look.

"Master Feng, what do you think?" The other masters looked at Master Feng and asked, obviously like him, they were extremely curious.

"Let's go!" Master Feng took the lead and followed the group of businessmen with insect eggs: "Follow and have a look!"
