It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 86 Fairy, don’t be impulsive

Unconsciously, another three days passed.

Throughout Qingyang County, the officials responsible for counting the lists were busy.

He looked like he was resolute in fulfilling the orders issued by the court.

County Sheriff's Office.

Zhang Dezui took his time and made tea: "Your Highness, although this water is drawn from a local well, the great master at that time specially marked several formation depressions to avoid the influence of the ruins. .

This well was dug in a depression, and it was a deep well. The water in the well was as sweet and refreshing as the spring water in the mountain stream.

You can rest assured that you only need to stay here for a few days and then you can return to Linge. "

"Thanks to Mr. Zhang for taking care of me these days."

Zhao Yong smiled, took a sip of tea, and exclaimed: "Good tea!"

Zhang Desu stroked his beard quite contentedly and enjoyed the afternoon peacefully.

Zhao Yong suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Zhang, Lao Shi seems to be doing a lot of things these days!"

Zhang De said with a smile, stroking his beard: "His Royal Highness cares about the people, so it is normal for him to be a little busy. My people took him to see a lot of statistical lists. It is really not easy for His Highness to do everything personally."

Zhao Yong frowned slightly: "If this is the case, will there be any problems?"

Zhang Dezui smiled and waved his hands: "No! Qingyang County is like this, His Highness should not suspect the villages and towns.

Moreover, since he is not familiar with the place, even if he really wants to go to a village or town to inspect, it will be my people who will take him wherever he goes.

Beisan County is very big, and His Highness Tenth Prince will be too busy for him. "

Zhao Yong then nodded: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Desu humbly raised his hands: "Your Highness, you are so complimentary!"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and took a sip of tea.

At this moment.

A policeman ran over quickly: "Sir, there is a situation!"

Zhang Dezu frowned slightly: "Just tell me!"

The policeman was hesitant: "In the past few days, when I went to Chiling County to jointly investigate the case, I suddenly found a group of colleagues inquiring about the whereabouts of Kan Luotang. I felt a little strange, so I asked them who was looking for Kan Luotang. Tang, in the end, they didn’t say anything.”

"Kan Luotang? Is she the granddaughter of Grand Scholar Kan, Fairy Luotang?"

Zhang Dezu was a little displeased: "There are many people in Beisan County who admire her. It is not unusual to inquire about her whereabouts. This kind of thing should be reported to this officer?"

The police officer quickly handed over his hand: "I just thought it was strange that they were silent, and it happened to be at this time, and I was afraid that something would happen, so..."

Zhao Yong suddenly interrupted: "You are right! If this matter is not handled properly, it will indeed have a huge impact!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Dezu was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, what you mean is..."

Zhao Yong looked a little unnatural: "I know who is looking for Miss Luotang?"

"Who?"

"Old ten."

"This……"

Zhang Dezhu's expression also became solemn, and he suddenly felt that this Tenth Highness was not simple.

At first, when I saw him busy in the city, I thought he was working blindly. Unexpectedly, it was just a cover-up. In fact, he had already gone to Kan Luotang for help.

Fortunately, in Beisan County, I have good hands and eyes. Otherwise, if I didn't find out until the end, I would be in big trouble.

He quickly wrote a letter, stamped it with his personal seal, and handed it to the policeman: "Notify this!"

The policeman's expression changed slightly after reading the contents of the letter, but he still said, "Yes!"

Then he hurriedly left the Sheriff's Mansion.

Zhao Yong's face darkened: "Master Zhang, how do you plan to respond?"

Zhang De thought for a moment and said with a slight smile: "The three counties in the North have been very busy in recent days. The task of counting the lists has been very effective and should be completed as soon as possible."

Zhao Yong nodded: "Very good!"

……

The north of Linge is mostly deserted, with only three counties standing guard from a distance like horns.

In addition to Qingyang County, which is the core of the formation, Huangjing County and Chiling County also govern many villages and towns. The densely populated areas together form the basis of this extremely large formation.

The environment in these two counties is much worse than Qingyang County.

When the sun sets in the west.

In a certain town under the jurisdiction of Chiling County, groups of men carrying hoes and wild game rushed toward their homes.

The economy of Beisan County has always been poor. Even in the town, the main source of income is farming, hunting and fishing. Apart from a few large markets, it is actually no different from a big village.

Through the gray sky, the light of the setting sun is not so warm.

But under the wisps of cooking smoke, there is also a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

On weekdays.

At this time, they usually go home for dinner.

But today they gathered in the open space in the south of the town, and everyone's originally sallow faces were glowing with a long-lost red light.

Because today, someone they were all quite familiar with came to town.

from afar.

The girl who was accustomed to wearing a white dress was having a consultation with the doctor in the town.

Even Fan Lizheng, the top leader in the town, led his men to attack with a smile.

"Is Fairy Luotang here?"

The hunter who had just returned to the town was a little surprised: "I happened to hunt a rabbit today. I will give it to the fairy."

The farmer next to him stopped him and said, "Stop giving it away. Our game is easy for outsiders to get sick of. Aren't you harming the fairy?"

"That's right! Let's go take a look first. The fairy seems to have arrived earlier this year than in previous years."

"Who says it isn't? My mother-in-law is almost crazy with joy. I heard that there seems to be something big happening recently, so the fairy came in a hurry and will only stay with us for half a day today."

"Huh? It's only been half a day. This is such a long queue. Is it hard to see my old legs?"

"It probably won't work today, but the fairy said that after we finish the big things, we'll still have consultations as usual. There's no need to rush. Today we're mainly going to see serious and emergency cases."

"That's good, let's go take a look first."

"go!"

The people in the town gathered around the open space in twos and threes.

Kan Luotang wrote down a prescription and handed it to the pale woman in front of him. He said warmly: "Don't worry. There is nothing serious about your health. You just have a lot of poison. Recently, you should eat more vegetarian food and not meat. Cooperate." Take this medicine to detoxify and you should be better in a few days.

Be more careful in the future, as more toxins are deposited in meat, especially carnivorous prey.

Young people can still handle it if they eat more, but as you get older you must pay more attention. "

"Thank you fairy, thank you fairy!"

The woman thanked her repeatedly, and after taking the prescription, she couldn't help complaining to the man next to her: "I've already said that the reason why I can't give birth to a child is not because I don't eat enough meat. In the future, don't force your prey on me. It’s better to sell it for money!”

"Who would have thought that eating meat can damage your body!"

The man scratched his head in annoyance and bowed to Kan Luotang to thank him: "Thank you so much, fairy. If you hadn't reminded me, my wife's body would have been ruined by me."

Kan Luotang pursed his lips and smiled, then turned to look at Fan Lizheng: "Master Fan, there are many patients here, maybe because the people don't know many things. I will write a booklet in a few days, and you can find a few people to tell the folks about it. After a few times, the number of patients should be reduced a lot.”

"The fairy is right!"

Fan Lizheng nodded repeatedly and said with some shame: "The main reason is that I have been in office for a short time and there are not many literate people under my command. But don't worry, fairy, I will do my best for what you tell me."

Kan Luotang smiled and nodded, then called the next patient.

The new patient is a middle-aged man. While hunting in the forest, he was bitten by something unknown. His calf was covered with sores and would be disabled if not treated.

Kan Luotang frowned and ordered someone to boil the gauze in boiling water. Then he took out a knife and roasted it on the fire, and then started debridement.

During the process, the onlookers kept saying "Hey!" and they were obviously very irritated by the hideous appearance of the sores and the fishy smell.

Kan Luotang didn't look disgusted at all. She just carefully cut and scraped the rotten meat. Her technique was very exquisite. After the operation, there was no heavy bleeding. After cutting the rotten meat, she applied medicine and dried the gauze with zhenqi. It got entangled later.

"Fairy, Fairy, can I save my leg?"

"Don't worry, take a good rest for a while, remember to change the dressing on time, and the gauze should be boiled in boiling water and dried. It will be fine when new skin and flesh grow out."

"Thank you fairy, thank you fairy."

The middle-aged man was so excited that he cried bitterly. With the support of his wife and children, he left the medical stall.

Kan Luotang's consultation lasted until evening. It was too late to see the weather, so he could only treat the serious patients first and send the others home until he came next time.

By the time the stall was closed, it was already the first watch.

Fan Lizheng was quite moved: "The fairy has been here for a few hours, so she must be tired. I'll ask my wife to cook some dishes, and the fairy and Dr. Shen can come and eat together!"

"No need!"

Kan Luotang wiped the sweat from his temples and took out the dry food from the package: "I have to go to the next town."

Fan Lizheng was a little surprised: "Why is the fairy in such a hurry? Why don't you take a night's rest?"

Kan Luotang took a bite of dry food, pulled out the cork of the water bag and took a sip: "I do have something important to do today! Mr. Fan, in the next few days, the imperial court will transport a batch of Qi training pills. Five thousand of them are ten What Your Highness asks for on behalf of the people will be distributed to the common people. Do you know this?"

"Huh? So it turns out this is true."

Fan Lizheng was a little surprised: "I heard someone talking about it when I went into the city a few days ago. At first I thought it was someone making nonsense, but I didn't expect it to really happen."

Kan Luotang nodded: "It is indeed true. If the prediction is good, someone should have informed you of the list of young people in the town by now, right?"

Although this town is in Chiling County, it is already close to Qingyang County.

The imperial edicts usually reach Qingyang County first, then go to the other two counties, and then radiate to the surrounding villages and towns.

So here should be the group that can get in touch with the news relatively early.

"Statistical list?"

Fan Lizheng was a little confused: "No! When I was in the city, I heard that the list was being compiled over there. At that time, I didn't know that it had something to do with us."

"Ok?"

Kan Luotang frowned slightly.

Fan Lizheng hurriedly said: "Those officials from other places always take their time in doing things. It is not impossible to delay for a few days. They may notify us in two days."

Kan Luotang's expression softened slightly.

Because there are many officials in Beisan County, most of them are officials above the physical level and officials below the physical level. Most of them are responsible for maintaining the stability of Beisan County. As for these small officials in villages and towns, they generally do not want to be small officials in villages and towns.

When various government orders are handed over, there is often no coordination between the top and bottom.

Procrastination in doing things is not a particularly strange thing.

only……

She came to Beisan County early this time. She was afraid of statistical errors, so she went to remote villages and towns first to let them prepare in advance.

But let’s forget that we didn’t notify the remote government places here. After so many days, how come it’s not even here?

There was an uneasy feeling in her heart.

But she still said: "Don't worry about when the order from above will come. First, count the names in the town, giving priority to the following people who are seriously ill and angry.

This matter is related to the future of Beisan County. If a group of local officials can be cultivated, the lives of the villagers will be much easier in the future.

Therefore, when communicating with officials above, you must not feel any resistance. "

"No resistance, no resistance!"

Fan Lizheng and Dr. Shen both waved their hands repeatedly. When they heard this, they became excited.

In the past, when officials from above were issuing political orders, they would have to deal with it a lot.

After all, those out-of-town officials were really not human beings, and most of the subsidies given by the imperial court to the people of the three counties in the North went into their pockets.

After all, they came here just for merit. After mixing merit and salary, they just patted their butts and left. How could they care about whether the local people were living well?
But since Fairy Luotang has spoken, there is absolutely no reason not to cooperate.

If all the officials in the three northern counties were locals from now on, life would really be a lot easier.

"Thank you so much then!"

Only then did Kan Luotang reveal a smile and solemnly bowed his hands to the two of them.

Then he put on the white horse and added at the end: "By the way! Miss Zhu Li didn't come this time, not because she didn't want to come. She recently became an alchemist and saved a lot of money for the people here. In a few days I will change it into medicinal materials and ask the escort agency to transport them, and then I will have to trouble you two to take over."

"Fairy is righteous, Miss Zhu Li is righteous!"

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Be careful on the fairy road."

Watching Kan Luotang leave, both of them felt a little emotional.

They were born in Beisan County, and they are destined to die in Beisan County.

Here is a group of forgotten people. The imperial court asked them to guard the exit of the ruins. Although resources were allocated for their sacrifice, they would never be able to get ahead.Practitioners who wanted to enter the ruins and fight for a way out came and went, making them sleep uneasy at night.

Officials who came to maintain stability for merit came and went, and then pocketed the subsidies that should have been lost to them.

Everyone's slogans were very inspiring.

It seems that everyone is making their own efforts to regain the Northern Territory.

Only the people of Beisan County seemed to be aloof from the incident.

They also want Dayu to be strong.

But Dayu's strength seems to have nothing to do with them.

They just want to live a comfortable life.

For a long time, no one cared about Beisan County except themselves.

But now there is Kan Luotang, a kind-hearted doctor, and Zhu Li, who likes to call himself a heroine, and now there is another tenth highness.

Five thousand pills, if used properly, are enough to allow a considerable number of young people to reach the state of consciousness. Even if they cannot train their bodies and muscles, they will not be plagued by diseases for the rest of their lives like their parents.

Regardless of whether cultivators can be born, just five thousand high-quality labor forces can alleviate the difficulties of Beisan County a lot.

very nice……

……

Kan Luotang rode his horse all the way north.

That was the first village she arrived in. The people there listened to her words very much. After so many days, she must have compiled the list.

She hadn't slept all day, and her body was already a little tired, but the anxiety in her heart prevented her from stopping at all.

He took out a refreshing elixir from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth, then continued to ride his horse and whip his whip.

Wait until you arrive at the target town.

It was already getting dark.

She didn't worry too much and knocked directly on Li Zheng's door.

While waiting, she held her collar in her right hand, her palms already covered with sweat.

"Who? Early in the morning."

The doorman was a little impatient, but when he opened the door and found Kan Luotang, he was surprised and said: "Fairy Luotang, have you finished your work? I'll call Li Zheng..."

After inviting Kan Luotang into the courtyard, he quickly went to call Li Zheng.

When Li Zheng heard that Kan Luotang was coming, he quickly put on his clothes and greeted him enthusiastically: "The fairy is back! I will inform the villagers for consultation..."

"No need yet! I haven't finished my business yet."

Kan Luotang went straight to the point: "Master Jiang, the list I asked for earlier, on your side..."

Jiang Lizheng hurriedly said: "How dare I neglect what the fairy ordered? The list has been prepared. Fairy, please wait a moment!"

After saying that, he hurried towards the study.

After a while, he came out with a thick booklet and handed it to her hand solemnly.

I checked the roster and made sure it was OK.

Kan Luotang breathed a long sigh of relief and asked again: "Has the decree from above come down?"

Jiang Lizheng shook his head: "No..."

Kan Luotang's heart rose again after he was relieved, and he whispered: "If the people from above come down, you can tell me that the list has been handed over to His Highness the Tenth Highness by me. I still have something to do, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell!"

"Be careful on the fairy road!"

Jiang Li was going out to say goodbye.

After Kan Luotang left, he ran directly to the next town.

In one day, without a moment's rest, rosters were collected from seven towns.

Touching the bulging book bag, she felt a little more at ease.

In the evening, I found a family to live with for the night, and rushed to the next town before dawn.

The first two went relatively smoothly.

But when it comes to the third town.

Li Zheng's answer was different from the previous ones: "As soon as the government order came down this morning, the registration officer from above came to see me. It happened that I handed it in directly not long after I finished counting."

"Have you handed it in?"

Kan Luotang's expression tightened: "How many official officials have come?"

Li Zheng replied: "Three!"

Kan Luotang suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "Only three? What are three enough for? Just after the decree came down, you did the statistics, and they didn't have any doubts about the roster?"

Hear this.

Li Zheng also changed his expression: "Fairy! Is this... something went wrong? What should we do now?"

Usually when there is a government order, no matter how well you do it, there will be various difficulties from above.

This time it went really smoothly.

"What about them?"

"I've been gone for an hour, I guess I'll be back to Huangjing County soon."

"What are their names? Are they true or false?"

"The leader is called Chen Guan, who is in charge of household registration in Huangjing County. I have met him several times, and his identity is definitely true. It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Why didn't you even think of this?"

"Ok!"

Kan Luotang immediately got on the horse. Before he lowered the whip, he glanced at Li Zheng, who was full of regret, and comforted him quickly: "Don't blame yourself, I don't blame you for this matter."

After saying that, he rushed towards Huangjing County at full speed.

An hour later.

She finally arrived at the gate of Huangjing County.

The city gate guards recognized her and let her go without asking her to dismount.

Along the way, it attracted many people in the city. When they heard that Fairy Luotang was coming, they immediately ran to tell them and followed her.

This time, I followed him to the door of the county government office.

"Oh!"

Kan Luotang immediately dismounted from his horse, picked up the drum stick and started beating.

While knocking, he also shouted: "Chief Zheng, Kan Luotang wants to see you!"

Upon hearing this voice.

Immediately, an official wearing a fifth-grade official uniform hurriedly came to the county government office. It was Zheng Huo, the governor of Huangjing County.

When Zheng Huo saw that it was Kan Luotang, he immediately raised his hands and said enthusiastically: "It turns out to be Fairy Luotang. I didn't know if the fairy suddenly came here..."

"Boom boom boom!"

Kan Luotang ignored him and just continued to beat the drum of injustice.

Zheng Huo's face stiffened, and he suddenly felt unhappy. He lowered his voice and said, "Fairy Luotang, if you have anything to say, we can go inside and talk. It's not good to beat the drum of grievance too much."

The sound of the drums is still there, with no intention of stopping.

In addition, there were people who wanted to come to see Fairy Luotang, and soon the yamen was filled with people. They all looked at Kan Luotang curiously, wondering why Kan Luotang was beating the drum of grievance.

It’s almost time to meet people.

Kan Luotang then asked: "Master Zheng, will an official named Chen Guan bring back the roster today?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Huo immediately understood what she meant.

He asked with a smile: "The roster? The roster that Fairy Luotang mentioned is the roster that His Highness the Tenth Prince bestowed the elixir on behalf of the emperor? If this is the roster, Chen Guan has indeed handed it over to me."

Ok?
Kan Luotang was a little surprised. She did not enter the government office just now, and she kept beating the drum just to prevent Zheng Huo from making false promises to her.

Because with her knowledge of Beisan County, she felt that something big was likely to happen.

But look at Zheng Huo’s reaction...

Am I wrong about him?
"but……"

Zheng Huo suddenly changed the subject: "It's not today, but yesterday. This official had already handed the book to Qingyang County Sheriff last night. If the information is correct, the elixirs should have been distributed this morning."

Kan Luotang: "..."

When she heard this, her eyes darkened.

You just took the roster today and handed it over to Qingyang County yesterday?

The elixirs have been distributed this morning, so what is in my book bag?
She thought something would go wrong, but she didn't expect these people to be so bold!
There's going to be a big problem!

Kan Luotang turned around and glanced at the people who were full of doubts, and then at Zheng Huo who was still smiling. He really wanted to throw the account book in his book bag at his face and have a good confrontation with him.

But now, she was more concerned about the direction of the five thousand pills.

It may not be too late yet.

If you don't hurry up.

She didn't know who would get the five thousand pills.

But among the nine rosters in his hand, with thousands of young people on them, it was impossible to get any of them.

She glanced at Zheng Huo angrily and jumped on her horse.

"Master Zheng, we will return in a few days!"

"I'm waiting for the fairy to arrive!"

Zheng Huo was not panicked at all. He knew very well that what the emperor wanted was a reputation for caring about the people and the loyalty of the officials in the city.

As for whether it will be distributed to those useless people, the emperor will not care too much.

Even if he was really displeased by this, it would be impossible to place the blame on himself, the hard-working and meritorious guards of Beisan County.

otherwise.

Just based on the selfish achievements of each, more than a dozen of the governors of the three counties in the North have been beheaded.

As for offending Kan Luotang, he didn't care at all. Although Kan Tianji had a respected position, he had no real power and could not reach out.

I just didn't expect that Kan Luotang would react so quickly.

He had originally planned to quietly collect all the lists and wait until the elixirs were distributed before replacing them with the fake ones.

In this way, even if it is found out afterwards, you can easily find an unlucky person to take all the blame.

Unexpectedly, Kan Luotang discovered the trick in advance.

These second-generation officials are really troublesome!

"drive!"

Kan Luotang suppressed the urge to get angry and rode out of the city.

Reason told her that she couldn't waste time here now.

As long as the elixir has not been distributed, there is hope for recovery.

"It would be great if Zhao Ci could discover the fishiness in it in time."

"But he has no connections here, is it possible?"

"It's all my fault! If I didn't want to avoid suspicion and came with him from the beginning, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

"Kan Luotang, you are so stupid!"

Kan Luotang's eyes were a little red, but he didn't even dare to let the emotion of self-blame spread. He focused all his attention on riding the horse, and even gave the horse a few Qi-training pills.

……

Cheongyang County.

When the dawn breaks.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The rapid and unrestrained knock on the door made Zhao Ci's head buzz.

He rubbed his head and sat up: "Who is it!"

Zhang Deze's excited voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness! All the rosters from Beisan County have arrived, and the people on the rosters have also gathered in the north of the city as you requested. Now you can distribute the elixirs."

Huh?
I went out with you a few days ago, and you were still enthusiastically showing me what it means to be busy and slow.

It didn't take long before not only the list was sorted out and delivered, but also the people were brought over.

Do you think my brother is very silly?
