I have a magical tree

"In this case, you will be assigned to the Alchemy Hall of the Medical Bureau of Heishan Prefecture. The rules of the Alchemy Hall are not as strict as those of other departments of the Medical Bureau. As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, you can arrange the rest of your time freely. Even if you don't come to work, you only need to bring a message."

"So free?" Xu Dao was delighted.

Old Wang also laughed, "Of course, but if there is an emergency in the city, you are also needed."

"For example, a large number of officials in the city were killed or injured, and a large area of ​​strange disasters occurred around the city. In addition, sometimes you need to be sent to the county. My two disciples are now in the two counties near the city."

There are also outposts to the county, what is this? Technical poverty alleviation?

"How often does this happen?"

"Once a year is enough, only half a month!"

Xu Dao was relieved immediately. Anyway, he was not going to Yanghe County.

Except for Yanghe, a special place, other county towns are originally distributed around the city, and the distance is not far.

If you are lucky, you can go to a nearby county town, and you can even go in the morning and come back in the evening, which is very convenient.

As the two were talking, a clerk suddenly came in a hurry.

"Doctor Wang, the governor asks you to go to the government office. He said there is something important to discuss."

Doctor Wang paused, "What is it?"

Apart from the Shangyi Bureau and alchemy, he is not interested in other things and does not want to get involved.

So, generally speaking, if there is no need, he is too lazy to go to the government office for discussion.

In addition, his rank of the fourth rank can be said to be the highest rank that a city can achieve. Everyone who sees him has to give him some face, so he just let Wang Lao do it.

But I don't know what happened today that made the governor specially notify him to go to the meeting. In this case, it is probably not a trivial matter.

"I heard that there was a drastic change in Yanghe County! I don't know the specific situation." The clerk chose to let out a little bit of information. In the city, it is not shameful to curry favor with this person!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang immediately turned to look at Xu Dao, "Yanghe County?"

Xu Dao also looked surprised, and then he looked thoughtful.

"What did you think of?"

Xu Dao nodded, "Yesterday, the teacher sent a letter, and did mention that something happened in Yanghe, but it has been settled, so we don't have to worry. The details were not mentioned in the letter. I don't know much about the rest. I have been in the city for nearly ten days."

Mr. Wang nodded, "It seems that something big has happened in Yanghe, but fortunately your master is safe. Then I will go to the government office to see, you can walk around here by yourself!"

"Wang Lao, take care!" Xu Dao sent Wang Lao away.

He thought in his heart that the city might have received the news yesterday, but only responded today.

After all, official documents and letters cannot be slower than private letters.

Xu Dao was not surprised by this result. This time the matter was too big, and it was definitely impossible to suppress it. It would definitely attract the attention of the city, and even the county city.

A county lord is missing, and the high-ranking officials of the whole county are almost wiped out. In addition, the news of the emergence of a super-grade demon is not a small matter at all, but a big event that broke the sky.

Hunting super-grade demons is a big deal even if it is placed in the county city, let alone in the prefectural city.

Sending people to investigate is certain. After all, the news that the super-grade demon dragon is dead cannot be concealed. With so many people watching, we can't let all the witnesses disappear, right?

Let alone Xu Dao is not that kind of person and can't do such a thing. Even if he is such a person, silencing the people of that county is also a taboo, and the investigation will be more severe.

Because this is a provocation to the Dali Dynasty, the prefectural city, and the county city. Kill a city! You dare to kill a city today, what are you going to do tomorrow?

Provoking the Dali Dynasty is fine, the key is the latter!

At the local level, provoking the authority of the prefectural city or the county city is the most fatal situation.

To completely control the land of a prefecture or a county, you need authority. When your authority is challenged or even shaken, you are finished!

If you are simply dissatisfied with the court, or even dissatisfied with the emperor of the dynasty, other people probably don't care except the emperor.

As the only remaining official in Yanghe County and a martial arts expert, it is certain that the master will be questioned and investigated. This is also what he has been secretly worried about.

However, it seems that there is no big problem. After all, the master's participation in this matter is really not big. He has been playing soy sauce throughout the whole process and relying on Xu Dao to lead him. He doesn't know more about the inside story. Moreover, there is Wang Lao, a friend in the prefecture city.

As long as he says a word, others will give face.

Now I just hope that the investigation will end soon, so that the master can get out of the quagmire sooner.

Xu Dao did not choose to go home, nor did he choose to wander around in the Shangyi Bureau. After all, he is not familiar with the people here, and it is embarrassing to stroll around.

So, he chose to enter the Canxia Palace to make pills.

Now the elixir on hand is almost exhausted, and he can't use it himself, but there are suddenly a few more people in the family who consume elixir, so he needs to replenish it as soon as possible.

When he arrived here, the elixir servant assigned to Canxia Palace had already arrived, and cleaned the place and tidied it up.

A man and a woman.

"But Lord Xu?" When the two saw someone entering the hall, they immediately stopped their work and came up to greet.

"Yes, what are your names?" Xu Dao felt it was novel to see a female official here.

Of course there were female officials, but they were few in number. Generally, women were either slaves or maids, or married at the right age, raising children, or learning martial arts and wandering the world, but it was rare for them to work as clerks in the government office.

And the number of female officials was even smaller.

"My subordinate is Mao Chun!"

"My junior is Mao Xia!"

Xu Dao raised his eyebrows, "Are you two brother and sister?"

"We are brother and sister!" The woman named Mao Chun answered. She was generous and eloquent, and had a sense of competence.

On the contrary, Mao Xia had a kind personality, was not good at speaking, and was obviously very afraid of Mao Chun.

Well, it's understandable. My sister never showed mercy when she hit people!

Xu Dao guessed that the two people's backgrounds were probably not bad. There were no poor people or ordinary people who could work as alchemy servants in the Alchemy Hall. Even those who worked as clerks in the Shangyi Bureau did not have a very poor family background.

If their family background was really too poor, they would not have the money or energy to learn medicine.

Not to mention, the requirements for being an alchemy servant are higher than those for being an ordinary medical clerk. Not only do you need to be familiar with medical theory and be able to identify all kinds of medicines, you also need to have a certain understanding of alchemy and medicine making, otherwise you can only be a hindrance.

"It's rare for a brother and sister to be colleagues. I'm afraid it's the only one in the entire Shangyi Bureau, right?" Xu Dao nodded.
