strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 11 [Treasure from Heaven]

After leaving the county office, he walked along the street for a long time, but he still didn't hear Zhang Jingxu change his words to say anything else. Only then did the officials believe that Catcher Zhang really wanted to treat everyone to a drink.

So everyone was surprised and moved, and they began to discuss which place is better.

In the end, everyone didn't want Zhang Jingxu to spend too much money, so they didn't choose a restaurant with a higher cost, but chose a restaurant that was not too expensive and not too cheap. A dozen or so yamen servants directly set up three tables to cook together.

Since Zhang Jingxu paid for the meal, the Shangguan's subordinates must be cautious when entertaining guests. At the beginning, they couldn't let go.

But when they saw that Zhang Jingxu actually ordered a few hard dishes, all the yamen servants couldn't help but began to salivate...

Sure enough, they are all tight-lipped people, and they can't resist the temptation of meat at all, especially after Zhang Jingxu ordered five soy pork knuckles in a row, no yamen servant can hold on anymore.

All are scrambling to be the first to eat, like beggars scrambling for food.

The most important thing is that Zhang Jingxu also ordered a few jars of wine, which is amazing, and the servants were completely drunk.

Even Zhang Jingxu seemed to be an alcoholic, his face flushed from drinking, and he laughed from time to time.

This meal of wine lasted for a whole day, and the anxious shopkeeper complained, but did not dare to make a sound to drive away the guests.

After all, this is a dinner party for the officials of the county government, especially when the new head catcher treats guests to dinner. Although the servants have the lowest position in the county government, it is different when facing ordinary people.

A small restaurant, how dare to offend.

Not only did he dare not offend, but he also had to be careful in serving him, and even gave away two hard dishes for free, even saying that this was to celebrate Zhang Butou's assumption of his new post.

The store was attentive, and outsiders didn't dare to disturb them, so the wine was a joy to eat, and the servants all drank a little too high.

Among them, Zhang Jingxu seemed to drink the most, already looking a little crooked, and when the banquet finally ended, it was already looking like the sun was fading away.

All the yamen servants suppressed their drunkenness and helped Zhang Jingxu, who was drunk, onto the street.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu seemed to suddenly think of something. He patted his forehead and stomped his feet repeatedly, and kept stomping his feet and shouted: "Oh, this is... hiccup... what should I do? It's dark, where am I going to sleep tonight?"

Standing on the street and yelling, he inevitably attracted many people's attention, but the yamen servants were anxious to express themselves, saying one after another: "Go to my house, go to my house, if Chief Zhang is willing to show his face, you can go to my house to rest tonight."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingxu shook her head drunkenly, and kept saying: "No, no, this head catcher has a bad habit. If it's a strange bed, I won't be able to sleep all night."

"What should I do?" The yamen servants were very worried.

Zhang Jingxu continued to yell: "Go home, I want to go home. Before the city gate is closed, I want to go out of the city and go home."

The yamen servants became anxious immediately, and said one after another: "But...but it's going to be dark soon. Once night falls, it's very dangerous."

However, Zhang Jingxu didn't stop at all, just kept yelling: "Go home, the head catcher wants to go home."

The yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally mustered up their courage together, and said bravely, "Let us, brothers, take you out of the city and go home."

There is fog at night, and evil spirits will harm people, so except for those who have power in the Shenjue Mansion, ordinary people dare not go out of the city at night.

But this group of yamen servants went all out and mustered up the courage to send Zhang Jingxu home. This alone made many people on the street deeply admire them.

And Zhang Jingxu seemed to be too drunk, at this moment he kept saying in a daze, "Okay, okay, you guys... hiccup... send me..."

The yamen servants took a deep breath, subconsciously touched the knives on their waists, as if to encourage themselves, and finally supported Zhang Jingxu to the direction of the city gate.

Along the way, Zhang Jingxu kept yelling like an alcoholic, showing that his wine taste was extremely poor.

The servants in the yamen were miserable, so they could only support them, and even when they reached the gate of the city, one of them had to be assigned to carry Zhang Jingxu on his back...

When the guards at the gate of the city saw this group of yamen servants, they originally wanted to inquire about the reason for leaving the city, but seeing Zhang Jingxu, who was drunk like mud, and heard that this was the new county yamen arrester, so they no longer stopped them, but instead Tell the servants to be careful and careful.

After all, it was getting dark soon, and the danger at night outside the city was no joke.

But under the bitterness of the yamen servants, they still chose to continue to escort Zhang Jingxu, bid farewell to the guards at the city gate, and mustered up the courage to go out of the city...

……

After leaving the city, it took about a cup of tea time. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the boundless fog began to cover the earth.

There was an inexplicable coldness that gradually hit everyone.

The yamen servants panicked and couldn't help but all drew out their knives. Although they were holding knives in their hands, they were already trembling.

Suddenly, at this moment, Zhang Jingxu on Li San's back actually let out a laugh, and said with comfort, "Okay, let me down, you guys are not bad, uncle, I'm not mistaken."

The yamen servants were startled at first, thinking that Zhang Jingxu was so abnormal because of being possessed by an evil spirit, then Li San, the most shrewd, reacted and said in surprise: "Uncle Zhang, you have been pretending to be drunk? Oh, I understand, Zhang Uncle, you want to investigate the case, right? After drinking all day, pretending to be drunk and going out of the city at night... This is, this is an intention to hide the secret, so as not to leak any information."

Zhang Jingxu got off his back, with a satisfied expression on his face, he praised: "You are smart, you have guessed uncle's plan. That's right, I really mean it. Let's go directly to Sun Family Village and check the serial dead people." case."

Investigate?

This is the duty of the yamen servants.

but!

Investigation at night...

The investigation is still a case that may involve evil spirits harming people.

As if subconsciously, all the yamen servants shivered in unison.

Li San was obviously afraid, but he didn't raise any objections. He just spoke cautiously, as if wanting to remind Zhang Jingxu: "Uncle, can we go in the daytime? At night, fog covers the land, and there are dangers everywhere. "

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly, how could he not know the panic in everyone's heart?

But with a slight lift of his palm, it shook slowly, and the next moment, an ordinary grass suddenly appeared in his hand.

Looking at the surprised eyes of the yamen servants, Zhang Jingxu smiled warmly and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that you have forgotten, uncle, I used to be a night watchman. And the reason why I was invited to be an official by the county yamen is because I Accumulate enough merits during the night watch, merits can awaken people and have the qualifications for cultivation... But you don't know, when I awakened, uncle, I not only possessed the qualifications for cultivation."

The yamen servants were startled for a moment, and then they all burst into surprise. Looking at the grass in Zhang Jingxu's hand, they asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that uncle has not only awakened his cultivation qualifications, but also obtained a magic weapon from heaven?"

Zhang Jingxu held the grass in his hand, and said with a faint smile, "Of course!"

I have a magic weapon in my hand, which can block the danger of the fog.

Are you still afraid to follow me to investigate cases at night?
Today, he was entertaining guests and pretending to be drunk, all in order to avoid the eyes and ears of interested people, so as not to get rumors about the case investigation, and even be interfered by the God's House to pick the fruit.

Now that he has left the city, the yamen servants are all his subordinates, so there is no need to hide it anymore, but to show his strength.

Only in this way can the subordinates feel at ease, otherwise, how can a group of trembling young men have the courage to run errands at night?
Therefore, Zhang Jingxu took out her fairy mountain grass.

And lied and claimed that this is a magic weapon given by God.
