Chapter 410 What is the crime?

Bai Zhi replied indifferently: "Then just wait, otherwise what can I do?"

A sneer appeared on Linglong's lips, and she snorted, "I think it was man-made sabotage."

Hearing this, the short man immediately asked, "Tell me, who deliberately sabotaged it?"

Seeing his expectant expression, Linglong glared at him and hummed: "Don't you know?"

The short man shook his head like a rattle: "I don't know."

As he spoke, he shrank his neck and turned around to look for Grandpa Bai, but he couldn't find him. Then he remembered that Grandpa Bai didn't follow him out at all.He thought for a moment, and then he reached out to Shen Changyan. After all, he didn't dare to pull his clothes.

Look at what he does.

Everyone knew that he had someone in mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He was frightened by the spell once and had psychological shadow.

The young man teased: "Brother, are you sometimes afraid?"

"Go, who is your elder brother? You are against the sky... Cough cough, I belong to the wife." The short man gave him a displeased look.

The young man also shrank his neck and stopped talking, fearing that he would be exposed. He also mentioned that he had been planted with the blood-activating poison by Taoist Daoist Nitian.

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Bai Zhi discussed with Shen Changyan, and led them back to the post station.

The officers and soldiers of the county government have already brought the materials for building the house.

The station leader led people to the town to buy other needed materials.

The county magistrate had already known from the commander of the post station that Xianghe county lord and Shen Shizi were there, and knowing that this was a rare opportunity to curry favor, he personally led troops to rebuild the post station to please the two of them.

"I pay my respects to the Lord of Xianghe County, my son."

Normally, as the magistrate of this remote mountainous area, not to mention the royal family and nobles from the capital, even the local governor is hard to see.

The county magistrate's body was trembling slightly nervously, and beads of sweat appeared on his head.

He was even worried about whether his appearance was decent and whether his salute posture was standard. After all, he was used to being lazy all these years.

Bai Zhi smiled slightly when she saw this and said softly: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?"

When the county magistrate heard this, he almost fainted. He was directly accountable.

He swayed for a few times, trying to calm himself down, and then he calmed down, and replied with a trembling voice: "I know my mistake, and it is not good for me to serve as an official. I didn't realize that the inn here would be burned down by the fire. For the official's dereliction of duty, please also ask Xianghe county magistrate to make atonement."

Bai Zhi suppressed her smile, shook her head secretly and sighed: "This county magistrate is so cautious and humble."

She asked quietly again: "Can you foresee and avoid this?"

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and replied truthfully: "The lower official is not capable enough, it seems he can't."

Bai Zhi finally laughed out loud: "Then it's over, so why are you guilty?"

Hearing this, the county magistrate was stunned again.

Since it is said that he is guilty, why ask him if he is at fault?

What does Xianghe County Lord mean?

I have been out of Beijing for many years, have I foolishly lost touch with the people of the capital?
I couldn't understand what I was saying.

"Master Xianghe County, my subordinate..."

The county magistrate murmured in panic, but didn't know what to say.

Bai Zhi sighed lightly, and said with a smile: "Master County Magistrate, don't be nervous. I'm just a county lord. I passed by here with Shen Shizi and didn't inspect it. Besides, you are not wrong. What are you afraid of when you see us? Could it be that we can eat people? No? Or have you heard that we have a bad reputation?"

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "Xianghe County Lord, the prince laughed. Xiaguan, Xiaguan has lived in a remote place for a long time, and rarely interacts with officials other than the common people. I saw him in the capital for the first time. The royal family and nobles can’t help but be nervous.”

He was honest, honest.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said with a smile: "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts calling your door. You don't have to be nervous, magistrate. How do you plan to rebuild the station?"

When the county magistrate heard that there was a problem, he immediately replied seriously: "The lower officials have ordered the officers and soldiers to bring the materials that may be lacking here, and the commander of the post station has already gone to the town to buy other materials, and the foundation can be dug to build houses immediately. It can be built in two or three days.”

Hearing that his plan was good, Bai Zhi nodded in praise and said, "Very good, enough speed. It's just that the bridge collapsed, and it's more troublesome over there. How does the county magistrate plan to rebuild it?"

The county magistrate showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Building a bridge is more difficult. I am afraid that it will be difficult with the county government's ability. The lower official has ordered people to report to the government office quickly. Soon the government case will bring a full-time adult in charge of preparing the bridge. Help design the new bridge and discuss how to prepare for its construction. But it is far from the government office, so I should not be able to come until tomorrow."

Bai Zhi nodded, everything was expected.

She then asked a few people to stay and help build the inn first.

During this period, Bai Zhi has been secretly paying attention to Mu Shuan's situation.

Because the two of them had been infected by the blood-activating Gu, her consciousness could sense everything that happened over Mu Shuan in time.

Now Mu Shuan was lying on the kang in a coma again. Mu Shuan's mother didn't know the detailed plan, so she just kept crying.

When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, the new foundation of the inn had already been erected.

Seeing that Bai Zhi and the others were working, the county magistrate and post station leader did not dare to be idle, so they rolled up their sleeves to work.

After the sun went down, Bai Zhi felt that the breath of the cork was getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed to be dying.

She immediately greeted everyone: "It's getting dark, let's all rest."

The officers and soldiers brought their own tents and dry food and camped on the spot.

Naturally, the commander of the post station did not dare to stay in the town, so he also camped in the tent.

Bai Zhi and the others went back to the town and bought a small courtyard.

As soon as she got home, she felt the smoke from the cork.

Of course, this was just a state of suspended animation, and no one except Bai Zhi could notice the state of suspended animation.

Mu Shuan's parents cried like crazy.

Soon the old security chief was alarmed.

Naturally, the cork did not escape the fate of the child who died without a disease, and was thrown into the river in the dark.

Except Mu Shuan's parents and the proprietress, few people came to see him off. Everyone in the town was afraid of seeing such a scene, because they had all experienced such heart-piercing despair.

The old security chief performed supernatural rituals for Mu Shuan.

The cork was then lowered into the river, where it was quickly washed away.

"The peg..."

Mu Shuan Niang wailed desperately, then fainted from crying.

Several people on the shore were in panic.

The old security guard revived Mu Shuan Niang and advised her not to be too sad. Since it was a fate that could not be avoided, she should accept it calmly and just think that Mu Shuan had succeeded in overcoming the tribulation in the lower realm and became a fairy boy in heaven.

In any case, Mu Shuanniang's mood became more stable.

Mu Shuan's father and the landlady helped her home.

Besides, Mu Shuan lay in the river and was washed downstream. During this period, he was unconscious, but Bai Zhi was able to tell him everything about him.

In the end, the wooden bolt was washed into a large lake deep in the mountains, and it has been floating on the lake.

The night gradually deepened.

The moon is perfectly round and hangs in the sky.

A strange picture formed.
