From eunuch to emperor

At dawn, people in Guning County got up and opened the door and walked out of their homes.

The shops on the street are open for business, and it is another busy day.

dang dang...

A yamen servant suddenly appeared on the street and beat hard with a gong.

The sound attracted the crowd to watch, and everyone wanted to know what happened.

"Everyone go to the county government office, King Wu will kill ghosts today."

The yamen servant knocked and shouted as he walked.

The common people were baffled, what about King Wu, what about killing ghosts?

"Guard Lu, why are we going to the county government office?"

An old man stopped the yamen servant and asked.

The yamen servant didn't explain, but said, "You'll know when you go to the county yamen."

After finishing speaking, the yamen servant continued to beat the gong and shout. The people didn't know what was going on, but it sounded lively, and everyone rushed to the county yamen.

What the common people like to watch most is excitement. As for the content, it doesn't matter. The bigger the thing, the better.

It's not a big deal to watch the fun.

There was more than one yamen servant beating the gong, and soon the people in the whole city knew that the county yamen was lively and flocked to the yamen gate.

When they arrived at the gate of the yamen, everyone stretched their necks to look around.

There were too many people coming, and the people behind couldn't see clearly. All the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. Some rode on the wall, some climbed on the roof, some brought ladders, and some even came on stilts.

"What made us all come?"

A man wiped his snot and put his hands in his sleeves. The cold wind made him very cold, but he refused to go back. There must be a lot of excitement today.

"I don't know, I heard that more than 100 people died last night and were eaten by evil spirits."

A tall and thick woman said with great interest.

"What? Last night? Evil spirits eating people? You are scaring children in broad daylight!"

The man next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and sneered.

The woman spat: "Put your mother's fart on, old lady, I heard from the head catcher that the dead body has just been brought in. Look at the dozens of coffins inside."

The coffins of the people who were killed last night were neatly arranged in the yard of the county government.

"My mother, why are there evil spirits?"

"Many barbarians came from Yanmen Pass, and they escaped because they were afraid of evil spirits."

"I've also heard about this. Yanmenguan and Fengshalou were all killed a while ago. I heard that it was the evil spirits who did it."

"Why did the evil spirit come to our Guning County? Do you want to run away?"

The people onlookers talked a lot, and more and more people gathered.

County Yali.

The county magistrate was wearing an official uniform and was walking up and down under the eaves. The yamen guards at the gate kept the people outside and did not allow them to come in.

"Isn't King Wu up yet?"

The county magistrate asked the servant, and the servant replied: "Not yet, King Wu slept with that beautiful girl last night, I'm afraid it will not be so soon."

A clear smile appeared on the county magistrate's face, and he ordered: "Don't disturb, just wait!"

With a beautiful woman by his side, Long Chen's mood will be better, and the possibility of questioning him will be less.

So the county magistrate didn't allow anyone to disturb him, let Long Chen sleep well and have fun.

in the guest room.

Long Chen has already got up, and Liu Hanyan is getting dressed.

"Brother, let me go to Yanmen Pass with you."

Liu Hanyan put on her coat and got off the bed.

Long Chen tidied Liu Hanyan's hair and inserted the headgear.

"No, you have seen how powerful half-ghosts are, and ghosts will only be more powerful."

Liu Hanyan's relatives are all dead, if Liu Hanyan is allowed to go north to Yanmen Pass, in case of accident, Long Chen will die of guilt.

Liu Hanyan was a little unhappy, she wanted to follow Long Chen to help.

"You are afraid that I will pester you, I won't."

Long Chen hugged Liu Hanyan and said with a smile: "Why would I be afraid, I like you clinging to me the most, just like last night, it makes me so comfortable."

Liu Hanyan said with disgust: "Do you hate it or not, just say this in broad daylight."

Long Chen said with a smile: "You talk about mine first, do you want to pester me a little more? Twist hard?"

Liu Hanyan broke free and said, "It's so noisy outside, it should start soon, let's get down to business."

The two came out of the room, and there was a servant girl standing outside the door, and said respectfully: "King Wu, my master invites King Wu to go to the front office, everything has been arranged."

Long Chen nodded, and led Liu Hanyan to the front office.

When they arrived at Qianya, the county magistrate was talking to Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai.

The two of them woke up very early, Long Chen heard the sound of them going out.

"The next official pays homage to King Wu."

Seeing Long Chen coming over, the county magistrate immediately brought the people from the county government to meet him.

Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai just nodded, they are not courtiers of Da Zhou, so they don't need to salute.

"Is everyone here?"

Long Chen glanced at the crowd outside the door.

The county magistrate replied: "Everyone is here, can we start?"

Long Chen nodded slightly, and said, "Let's get started."

Long Chen sat at the head of the county yamen, the county magistrate waved his hand, and the yamen servants let the people in.

There were too many people, and the gate of the county government office was so crowded that it looked like it was about to collapse.

Squeezed into the yard, the common people saw the coffins, which contained horrible corpses, and there were several children under the eaves, dressed in mourning.

The county magistrate shouted: "Silence, silence!"

The yamen servants shouted silence together, and the noisy people gradually quieted down.

"Folks, let me tell you a very unfortunate thing."

"Last night, the ghost clan attacked our county, killing more than 100 people!"

After seeing the coffin and listening to the words of the county magistrate, the people finally believed in the ghost cannibalism last night.

"It's really a ghost."

"Isn't that Li Shanliang's concubine? Li Shanliang is also dead?"

"Under the eaves is Li Shanliang's son. Are those two with broken necks Li Shanliang and Lu Shi?"

"It seems to be true, how many children are left in their family?"

"It's lucky to be able to keep the incense. Look at the side, it's not Zhang Yong's family, they are all dead."

The people were shocked, and the wall of the county government was full of people riding on it.

"Fortunately, King Wu came to the county last night and beheaded three evil spirits with his own hands, and even captured one alive!"

"You all should be grateful to King Wu for saving your life. If King Wu hadn't appeared last night, we would all be dead."

Saying that, the county magistrate bowed to Long Chen and thanked him.

Some of the people below knew who King Wu was, and some didn't know at all, but seeing the county magistrate being so respectful, they all bowed down to thank him.

In the eyes of the people, the county magistrate is the biggest official in a county, and if the biggest official is so respectful, he must be a big shot.

Long Chen was very disgusted in his heart, such a county magistrate only knew how to flatter, but didn't know how to show compassion to the common people.

"Fathers and folks, you don't need to be like this. I am the King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is my duty to protect the environment and the people."

Long Chen got up immediately, went to the roof to return the salute.

"I called all the folks here today to tell everyone that ghost clans exist, and so do evil spirits. They can eat people and suck blood. These people were eaten by evil spirits last night."

"But don't be afraid, everyone. Evil ghosts can also be killed. The King and the Holy One are leading an army to the north to fight the ghost clan. We will definitely protect everyone."

Long Chen summoned these common people to let them see what the ghost clan looks like.

Let them know the danger of ghosts, and at the same time know that ghosts can be killed without fear.

Fighting a war is not only about fighting on the front line, but also needs support from the rear.

If the people in the rear are in chaos, the front line will also collapse.

"This king killed three last night and captured one alive!"

When Long Chen turned his head, the yamen servant dragged out Luo Ying who had broken his arms and legs, and threw him in the yard.

The people looked at Luo Ying and were very surprised. They thought it was a monster with a blue face and fangs, but they didn't expect Luo Ying to look like an ordinary person.
