The heavens start from Liaozhai

Chapter 45 Su Mu Was Delegated to Shaoyang County

"Comrade Lin!" County Magistrate Pang greeted Lin Ping immediately when he saw Lin Ping.

"Comrade Pang, I have something to see you today." Lin Ping said to County Magistrate Pang.

"Just tell me what you want. Anyway, you are the one who hires me now, so you don't have to be polite." Magistrate Pang replied.

"Actually, it's about mining. As you know, our Qinghuang Mountain is mining copper mines. This copper mine's associated mine contains the spiritual stones I need, which will be of great help to my cultivation." Lin Ping said.

"That's the thing. Now we have developed simple carts and rails, and the mining tools are still being improved. As for the spirit stone that Comrade Lin mentioned, I have already handed it over to Xiaojun." County Magistrate Pang said.

"That's good, this spirit stone is very important to me, and the development of the spirit stone will be the focus." Lin Ping was about to leave after speaking.

"Comrade Lin, be careful on the road..."

Not long after, Lin Ping came to the martial arts hall. At this time, the martial arts hall had been expanded, but there were not many people in the martial arts hall, and Zhuang Fengjun was not there either. After Lin Ping asked coach Zhang, coach Zhang told him that Zhuang Fengjun went to the surrounding mountains to clean up Thieves.

Lin Ping sighed, did not stay any longer, left a letter for Zhuang Fengjun, and flew away with Yu Jian.

……

In the teahouse, Su Qing was listening to the performance of the book with Dou'er.

It is said that the sword fairy descended from the sky, and when he saw it, he crushed the toad essence into powder...

Every time Su Qing heard this, she would be in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Douer clapped excitedly.

……

Yanjing, the capital of Great Xia.

An old man knelt in front of the hall.

"Mr. Su Mu, the emperor won't see you, so please stop kneeling." The eunuch sighed.

"You hand this over to the emperor, please." Su Mu handed over the impeachment memorial.

He wants to impeach the national teacher for meddling in the government and disturbing the government.

"Mr. Su, why are you bothering? We respect you as a person of high morals, and you embarrass me by doing this." The eunuch shook his hands a little while holding the memorial.

What Su Mu represents is already the last breath of fresh air today. If he is killed, there will be no one left to speak in this thatched cottage.

At this time, a man, neither male nor female, wearing lama clothes slowly walked in.

The voice is neither male nor female.

"Show me." As soon as it said this, the eunuch's hands trembled.

Then before the eunuch handed it to the man and woman, the memorial automatically flew into its hand.

"It seems Mr. Su is tired of life, how dare you impeach me." It directly took away the memorial.

Then a group of lamas appeared in the hall and took Su Mu away.

Su Mu kept roaring in the hall.

But no one paid attention, as if everyone was already a piece of wood, unmoved.

On the second day, it was reported that Su Mu was demoted to the remote Shaoyang County.

Su Mu was locked in an iron cage, and many people cried to see him off.

At this time, Su Mu was completely disappointed with Daxia. The last big gamble, even without seeing the emperor, was easily demoted by the national teacher.

And the emperor didn't bother at all.

The two princes didn't come out to say a word, they were still waiting for the emperor's death, and then seized power.

Su Mu faced south all the way.

After leaving the capital, the number of people in the counties outside became much smaller.

However, it is still maintained normally, the further south, the more depressed.

When he arrived in Cangzhou, he saw depression everywhere and few people. He went around the whole county before he found a noodle shop.

"Mr. Su, let's eat here." said You Qianhu, who was escorting Mr. Su.

Then he took off Su Mu's shackles.

"Thank you." Su Mu thanked.

"Hey! I'm a warrior, and I don't know how the court is, but I know that Mr. Su is a good official who pleads for the people. Now that he has been demoted to Shaoyang County, I can't do anything else. I can only escort Mr. Su to Shaoyang County.

But in the situation of Cangzhou, I am afraid that Shaoyang County will be a dead city. "You Qianhu said.

"I didn't expect this old man to be an official for decades, serving the country and the people, but in the end he would not end well." Su Mu said.

At this time, a group of people with weapons rushed into the inn and captured You Qianhu.

"Daddy and daughter are here to save you." Su Tingxiang said.

"Nonsense! What are you doing? Why don't you back down quickly?" Su Mu scolded.

"Daddy!" Her expression changed drastically when she heard this.

"Listen to what my father said, my father was just demoted. If you save my father, then our family will be accused of rebellion, and the whole family will definitely be beheaded." Su Mu said.

"But father, if I ask you to go to that kind of place, will you still have a way to survive?" Su Tingxiang said.

"What else can I do? When the time comes, find a place to live in a hut, plant flowers, plants and food, raise chickens and ducks, it's not like your father doesn't know how to do these things." Su Mu said.

"Daddy!" Su Tingxiang still wanted to persuade.

"Put away your weapons first. It will be terrible if it is passed on by someone with a heart. Now the court has been completely controlled by the national teacher. What he said is the emperor's order." Su Mu found out that this was the last time he gambled. of the situation.

Su Mu couldn't even see the emperor's face, so he was easily relegated.

Now the emperor didn't ask about some things, he even wondered if the emperor had passed away and the whole palace was under the control of the national teacher.

Thinking of this, he felt very terrified, and he didn't continue to think about it further. For him, he is now a demoted person, and the court affairs have nothing to do with him.

Now his next consideration is how to live well.

But I heard that Shaoyang County is the most southerly of Cangzhou. The living standard there is very low, people are very ignorant, bandits are rampant, and the people are in dire straits.

Is it really possible for him to settle in that kind of place?Will he die at the hands of thieves on the road?
And along the way, will you encounter mountain spirits and ghosts?
I heard that in the past month, hundreds of ghosts walking at night appeared everywhere. Many counties far away from the imperial court had no luck to protect them, and in addition, the city god had fallen.

Not a few people died of being possessed by ghosts.

In the end, Su Tingxiang had no choice but to put away her weapon: "Since my father was demoted there, my daughter will also go there. These people are all righteous soldiers who voluntarily follow us and protect us."

"Nonsense, how can such a place be suitable for a woman like you?" Su Mu scolded again.

"No matter what this time, my daughter will act according to her own ideas. She has never been willful since she was a child. Now let her be willful." Su Tingxiang made up his mind.

Su Mu sighed and did not speak in the end.

Here, Su Tingxiang is alone and helpless, and the two of them go to Shaoyang County together, maybe they can make a living and see with his status.

At that time, in Shaoyang County, a large family can make a living as a wife or something.

It's just pity that he has been a clean and honest official all his life, and he can't save a single half tael of silver. In the end, he can only make her daughter and him suffer.

Su Mu suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that he didn't know how to be flexible when he was an official.

After eating the noodles, Uchito said, "My lord, it's time to go."

Then everyone left the city and rushed towards Pinghu Mansion.

Along the way, it was a scene of depression.

Seeing that the sky is getting dark, is there anyone living on the left or right?

Eventually they saw a ruined temple.

Generally speaking, thieves are most likely to ambush passers-by in ruined temples. Generally, no one would live in such a place.

But it was getting late, and Su Mu was old and couldn't bear the cold at all, so he could only live in the ruined temple.

As soon as they entered the ruined temple, they saw a bearded man, half-sitting in front of the fire, with a dark sword stuck beside the fire.

Lin Ping opened his eyes, looked at the decorations of these people, and couldn't help frowning.

Why is this scene so familiar?Isn't this the good official who was escorted to the capital while watching TV?

But this is the wrong direction?Are they heading to Shaoyang County?
"Who are you, why do you want to spend the night in such a place?" You Qianhu looked extremely cautious when he saw Lin Ping.

As long as something is wrong, Lin Ping will be attacked.

"Who I am has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, it's you guys who wear knives in the middle of the night and look like horse thieves." Lin Ping sneered directly.

Although he has already guessed the other party's identity, it doesn't mean that if the other party hates him, he won't go back.

"Do we look like horse thieves in our official uniform?" After hearing this, You Qianhu was also very angry.

"Hehe, I don't know if it looks like a horse thief, but on the way I saw people wearing this outfit, burning, killing and looting.

Those people all died under Yan's sword. " Lin Ping sneered, for several days.

He killed many thieves and ghosts.

Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer ghosts.

When he first came here, there were still many ghosts around, but after killing him, not a single ghost disappeared.

He couldn't help but look forward to the blood moon coming.

"Mixed sophistry!" Su Tingxiang said angrily.

"There is actually a little girl? Let me tell you, you little girl, it's better not to rush, you will easily be targeted by bandits." Lin Ping said again.

"It's none of your business, you look like a horse thief." Su Tingxiang said.

"Whether I look like a horse thief or not is my business, but you guys are indiscriminate and scold me when you come in, do you think I'm easy to bully?" Lin Ping narrowed his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu hurried out to make peace.

"My hero, please be patient. You Qianhu is also worried about my safety, so I offended the young hero. I am Su Mu. I believe the young hero has heard of it, so I will apologize to you on their behalf." Su Mu cupped his hands and apologized to Lin Ping.

"The old gentleman is still knowledgeable, polite and knows how to speak human language." Lin Ping said.

Then, the two conveniently did not speak.

Lin Ping stuck a pheasant on a tree branch. The pheasant was roasted to a yellow color and looked tender and delicious.

Su Tingxiang couldn't help but looked over and swallowed.

Lin Ping didn't care about them, he pulled out a chicken leg and ate it by himself.

Su Tingxiang turned her head away and did not continue to look at Lin Ping.

Lin Ping sensed the ruined temple and found that there were no ghosts coming out of the ghost cave. He couldn't help being extremely disappointed.

I thought it would be like they were in Shaoyang County before.

Unfortunately, he thought too much.

At this moment, Lin Ping felt a powerful demonic energy coming towards him, and his face lit up with joy.

Then he heard bursts of Sanskrit sounds, coming from far and near, reaching everyone's ears.

When Su Mu and the others heard this, their faces changed drastically, and they almost couldn't sit still.

"What should I do, Daddy? Is that monster going to be killed? Don't let us reach Shaoyang County safely?" Su Tingxiang looked at Su Mu.
