Chapter 9
There is no doubt that Nanshan Village's complaint uprooted all the magistrates of Laiyang County, including Shi Ye and Liu Baocai.

The county magistrate felt extremely regretful at this time. If he had surrendered Liu Baocai early in the morning, this would not have happened.

After all, he was just coveting the little gold and silver Liu Baocai gave him.

It was the experienced man from the state capital who came to Laiyang County to find out the whole story and immediately took the county magistrate, Liu Baocai and others into prison.

Although the county magistrate had previously sent toys, calligraphy and paintings to the governor of the state capital, it was not enough to save his life now.

After this incident, Nanshan Village's reputation was completely destroyed.

In particular, the master of the state capital reported the matter to the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites re-verified the matter, exchanged the two test papers, and returned the identity of the child in Nanshan Village. After that, dozens of villages, large and small, in Laiyang County knew about it. The name Nanshan Village Huangwen.

As Huang Wen's name became known to everyone, people naturally dug up what happened to him.

In just a few days, several versions of his story were circulated.

In each version, there is an important plot, that is, Mr. Huang Wenhe was rescued by the snake fairy.

As these stories spread among the villages in Laiyang County, several villages with snake fairy temples, including Nanshan Village, saw a sudden increase in visitors.

Everyone came to worship the Snake Fairy with incense. All of a sudden, the villages at the foot of the mountains were filled with people, and the smell of incense rose into the sky, extremely rich.

But as the beneficiary of these incense smells, Zhou Bai was not very happy.

Because the incense brought by these latecomers is not pure.

These people came to worship him for a purpose, whether to ask for a child, marriage, or wealth.

Therefore, the effect of these seemingly expensive incense is far less pure than that of the people in Nanshan Village simply worshiping and thanking him for coming.

Zhou Bai discarded all these incense and only absorbed the smoke of fireworks without any thoughts.

However, the popularity brought by these people is very strong, and simply absorbing this popularity can make him gain a lot of cultivation.

The incident at the Snake Fairy Temple was so hotly debated that the governor who came here couldn't help but be curious and drove to Nanshan Village himself.

However, as an official of the imperial court, he did not enter the temple to worship. He just stood outside and took a look, and then left in a hurry.

Those pilgrims who were seeking children and marriage would leave dejectedly after burning incense and offering sacrifices several times to no avail, and never came again.

Nanshan Village and several surrounding villages seemed to have had a lively dream. Now when they wake up from the dream, they still have to farm every day and their children still have to go to school.

The difference is that everyone knows that there is a snake fairy protecting them secretly, so everyone's face is filled with confident smiles. Children study harder, and adults work harder at plowing the fields.

And the people who go to the Snake Fairy Temple to worship every morning are no longer just the old people in the village, but men, women, old and young, and everyone has to burn a stick of incense.

The amount of incense that Zhou Bai can inhale every day has greatly increased, which is a good thing for him.

Most of the people in the village don't have any wishes. At most, they hope that the harvest will be better this year, or when the children come to offer incense, they silently ask their husband not to check last night's homework this morning...

These things are far less than the wealth and marriage that the previous pilgrims sought, so there is no harm to Zhou Bai.

What surprised him even more was that after hearing the story of the snake fairy, people in several villages in Laiyang County also followed the example of Nanshan Village and built several snake fairy temples at the entrance of the village to worship every day.

Several sources of absorbing incense have been added inexplicably. Although there is not much incense available every day, it is also a good thing for Zhou Bai!
The new magistrate of Laiyang County also took office soon.It is said that this county magistrate was the most beautiful girl in high school a few years ago, and he has been in charge of a department under the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was transferred here only after the Laiyang County Magistrate stepped down.

This county magistrate was not very old, and the first thing he did after taking office was to read out the punishment of the Ministry of Punishment on the Laiyang County Magistrate and those who insulted the county examination this time.

Liu Baocai and Dai Mao, the former magistrate of Laiyang County, were the core figures in this incident. They were punished and exiled to Lingnan, and were not allowed to return to the core and prosperous land of the dynasty for life.

Others, such as Liu Baocai's thugs and Dai Mao's master, were beheaded.

For a small county town, decapitation is a big deal.

On the day of the execution, countless people gathered around Xingtai to watch.

They were all common people who had been oppressed by Liu Baocai. They came here just to see how these bastards who had helped Liu Baocai oppress them were beheaded by the executioner!
Following the order of the new county magistrate, the executioner began to execute the execution. With one blow, the head fell to the ground. Within a few seconds, the execution ground was filled with heads.

Such a scene made it difficult for the county magistrate, a frail scholar, to accept, and he slowly turned his head.

The people watched with excitement and roared with excitement as every head fell to the ground.

It's not that they are cruel, but hidden under every head is their anger towards Liu Baocai.

Among these dead people were the beasts who beat their mothers and bullied their wives and children. It was too late for them to rejoice when these people died!
……

On the other side, several officials were escorting Liu Baocai and Dai Mao, who were in shackles and shackles, to Lingnan to serve their sentences.

Although they were not beheaded, being exiled to Lingnan was far more painful than death.

It was a barren land, and I heard that demons were raging. Going there was like going to hell. It was difficult to die, but it was worse to live than to die!
Both of them regretted their mistakes. Liu Baocai regretted that he shouldn't have fought for such a worthless reputation for his youngest son, while Dai Mao regretted why he didn't kill the bastard Liu Baocai from the beginning!

The two complained and argued endlessly along the way.

Several officers were upset after hearing this, and knocked them to the ground with a few sticks.

"Why are you arguing? Because you two have to walk this far. If you argue again, I will chop you up!"

The official took out the long knife from his waist and threatened the two of them, and they were so frightened that they shut their mouths instantly.

After walking forward for a while, a large group of shiny rats suddenly appeared from the grass beside the road.

These rats bypassed the officials and all pounced on Liu Baocai and Dai Mao. Their sharp teeth bit their skin desperately, and their screams instantly rang out on the dim mountain trail.

The officers were armed with steel knives, but they had no choice but to watch the rats commit their crimes.

But after a while, the rats receded like a tide, leaving behind the bloody corpses of the two people!

The officers looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

An officer swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty: "What should we do?!"

No one could answer him. The prisoner died on the way. As officials escorting the prisoners, they must be responsible for dereliction of duty.

But this damn guy hasn’t even left the borders of Laiyang County yet. This dereliction of duty is too much!
