Chapter 20 Inspection
At this time, Wu Ming was just here, so he naturally said more and made mistakes. It was better to remain silent.
Although the elder seemed to have something to ask for and might be a side mission, he had a great threat of erasing and did not stay for a long time. After asking for the way, he headed towards the county town.
"This town is full of yin energy, which makes the scalp tingling, not a good place..."
After walking towards the sun for several miles, the fog gradually faded, Wu Ming felt relieved and relieved.
At this time, I saw the surrounding fields and fields crisscrossing, and chickens and dogs heard each other. There were even smoke rising in the few thatched huts not far away, but it was okay.
After walking for more than ten miles, I saw a square city wall with a circumference of several miles, with blue-black moss on the walls, the gates were open, and pedestrians were bustling with vegetables on the noodles, with a bit of dilapidated feeling.
"The price of entering the city is ten cents!"
The soldiers guarding the city had a cold face. When they saw Wu Ming standing tall, wearing a jade robe, not like the ordinary people, their eyes moved slightly.
Wu Ming has no body. Although there is also exchange in this aspect in the main temple, his merits are precious, so he doesn't care much about this aspect.
But at this time, there are some small troubles.
‘A few mistakes, if I had known to wear a blue-shirted Confucian robe and find a sheath for the peach wood sword, I could pretend to be a scholar and have the privilege…’
Wu Ming secretly wrote down this point, not entering the city, but came to the notice column next to him.
On one side of the city gate, dense notices were posted layer after layer, with yellow on the edges and corners, mostly with sea captain documents, wanted avatars, and even official instructions.
In the middle, there is a Ming Huang list text with a letter:
"......... Now under the rule of Heitai, in Hei Water Town, monsters are everywhere, wild souls grow, my official protects the territory and safeguards the people, and has the responsibility to defend the land... However, the Yin and Yang are different, and their characteristics are summoning talented people and powerful heroes, and the people are relieved... Regardless of their origin, origin, but they have achieved success, and they have established a hundred taels of silver and a hundred acres of fertile land..."
Below is a strange year name, month date, and square and bright red official seal.
"Hundred acres of fertile land? This is almost a thousand taels of silver. It's very rich... but... Hei Shui Town?"
Wu Ming suddenly thought of the place where he came and laughed: "If you don't want to go around, you still have to go back to the starting point..."
I didn't say much now, so I went forward and gently exposed the list and held it in my hand.
“Huh?”
"Someone revealed the list?"
In an instant, a group of people surrounded him and looked at him with curiosity, shock, and even vague gloating eyes.
"Hmm? Look at this... I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger for the past few people who announced the list!"
Wu Ming's heart moved, but his face remained unchanged and his demeanor was ashamed.
The two tollers came over immediately and saw it. They felt a little confused. They saw that there were too many people, so they naturally knew that the boy was different from the previous few cheating food and drinks. They couldn't help but say, "Honey, have you thought about it? If you don't blame County Lord C, no one can save you!"
"This is natural!"
Wu Ming smiled and replied, "I went to the city with two tolerances, so the cost of entering the city will naturally be exempted."
In Heitai County, it is a bit more prosperous than the outside world. There is not much hunger or cold on the pedestrians, and the streets are quite clean, including rice shops, salt shops, tea shops, pawn shops, wine shops, hotels, cloth shops, jewelry shops, brothels... There are also peddlers who choose department stores and sell them all over the street.
After arriving at the county government office, Wu Ming was taken to a wing room and waiting.
At this time, a minor official said, "We inspector Wu are coming later, so you should pay attention!"
The county lord is the head of a county, and the 100-mile yard is naturally not something you want to see. The inspection is dedicated to the public security of a county. Similar to the later public security directors, each dynasty has different ranks, some are from the ninth rank and some are from the ninth rank, but they are always in the officialdom, and are not comparable to those of the soap officials.
"I know this, thank you for telling me!"
Wu Ming bowed his hand as a polite, but he got a roll of his eyes.
"snort!"
The little official who did not receive the expected red envelope tip snorted coldly and retreated depressedly. Wu Ming immediately knew that he had offended the little kid, and if he was entangled in the future, it would be even more trouble.
But he is not a local person, but a foreigner, and he is penniless, but it doesn't matter.
Inspection inspector Wu was obviously busy with noble people. Wu Ming waited for most of the time before finally seeing the real person.
Of course, there was no tea or snack during the period, which was the consequence of the evil devil.
"Student Wu Ming, I have met Inspection Officer Wu!"
When Wu Ming saw an official coming in, he was seven feet tall, with a face of less than 40 years old, with dark skin, bright eyes, and a sharp edge on his face, and even a sense of majesty of the law. Naturally, he knew that it was Wu Hong, the inspector of Heitai County, and bowed deeply as a courtesy.
Naturally, I can't say that I have no name or surname at this time. Anyway, I used to be named "No name" before, and other people in the cycle of reincarnation would only think it was a pseudonym after hearing this.
This is when the false is true, the true is also false.
"Your name is Wu Ming? What kind of virtue is it? How dare you take this list? Well? Have you entered the school?"
Seeing that Wu Ming just bowed and did not kneel down to salute, Wu Hong's eyes hopped, and when he heard Wu Ming calling himself a "student", he couldn't help asking.
He was in charge of the public security of a county. No matter how rascal or unruly people or even thieves were, he had to be trembling when he saw him. He would be round and flattened. Ordinary civilians would even kneel down when they saw him, otherwise they would be disrespectful.
At this time, seeing Wu Ming being polite and polite, he was calm and calm, but he looked up high in his heart.
Of course, this also has something to do with Wu Ming pretending to be a scholar.
Throughout the dynasties, as long as they were still farming empires, they always had preferential treatment for scholars.
"I have been studying since I was a child, and I am ashamed of having no achievements and reputation, but I only need to recognize a few words..."
Although Wu Ming had a little ink in his stomach, he knew what happened to the Four Books and Five Classics of this dynasty? If he said he was a child and scholar, then the exam would definitely reveal his feelings. Instead, it would be better to just recognize a few words.
Anyway, after reading the list article outside the city, Wu Ming knew that the fonts here were similar to those of the Great Zhou Dynasty and were not very harmful.
“Since that’s the case, it’s also rare…”
Wu Hong nodded slightly, his face slightly calmer.
Although Wu Ming was not even Tong Sheng, he was also a scholarly family, and he was born in a scholar. He always had to give a lenient score. It was not a formal occasion at this time, and he was not a seventh-rank county magistrate, so he naturally let it go: "The list of articles is not light, and once you take it, you must not refuse. Have you considered it?"
"Please rest assured! I learned how to breathe and breathe since I was a child. My father had another old friend with a Taoist priest. I asked for some talismans. I was still a little sure... "
Wu Ming said, seeing Wu Hong seemingly hesitant, and then said, "This trip is a boring study. I think that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles, and coming out to increase my experiences. This time I came over the Black Mountain..."
The last sentence was when I thought of the people in Heishui Town. When I saw myself coming out of Heishan, I was scared to death. I had an idea and added it.
"Montenegro?"
After hearing this, Wu Hong's expression changed, and he was paying attention to Wu Ming for a long time. Then he smiled and said, "The world is not stable now. You can travel around. Obviously, there is a magic trick. Since that's the case, I will report your name..."
"Thank you sir!"
Wu Ming bowed deeply, and the task in the sea of consciousness suddenly changed:
[Successfully arrived in Heitai County and revealed the list text, side mission - Arrival (complete)!]
[The second side mission is activated: Explore!]
[Task Objective: If you are revealing the magistrate's article, you need to find out the truth about the disaster in Heishui Town within seven days. If you succeed, you will start the main task! If you fail, you will deduct 1,000 small achievements, and you will be eliminated!]
‘Hei Shui Town?’
Wu Ming sighed in his heart and frowned: "It's really related to that town? But why do you have to go to the county town first?"
Wu Hong asked again: "Well, you are a young talent, my elders in Heishui Town, please give it to you. The county magistrate has an order. Within seven days, there must be a result... Do you have any other requirements?"
At this time, there were servants serving tea and the conversation came to an end.
"This... to deal with ghost fairies, students still need some materials, arrange altars, and sacrifices..."
Wu Ming pretended to be a little embarrassed.
However, he is indeed penniless now and is penniless.
"This official will naturally tell the public account that when you leave, take ten taels of silver and leave!"
Wu Hong frowned and picked up the teacup.
Wu Ming naturally knew that this was to serve tea and see off guests, so he immediately stood up to thank and said goodbye.
...
After leaving the yamen, Wu Ming touched the five-liang silver pattern in his arms, but sneered.
There are ten taels on the book, but the households and minor officials at all levels immediately shrank by half after layer. This is the rule and no one can say anything.
Wu Hong said it was ten taels, but in fact, there might be twenty taels or thirty taels left on the books, so there is no need to explain this in detail.
Finally, I thought about asking him to do things, and what I gave was a top-grade official silver with snow-white silk, scattered and shining with silver light. It was a big or small amount, and it was enough for a family of three to spend a year tightly.
'After I revealed the list, I don't know whether Tu Yanghao and the others' tasks will be changed or failed, or even revealed...'
Wu Ming seemed to be wandering around the county town aimlessly, but he didn't care about the tail that followed him from the yamen behind him.
The government is not a fool, how could he let him take the money and leave? He must follow him.
It's okay at this time, but once the seven-day limit is passed, or if you show your intention to escape, then the consequences...hehe...
"But... the water in Black Water Town looks very deep..."
Wu Ming did not leave the city to stimulate the two tails, but instead walked smoothly, but his brows tightened: "That Wu Hong! His muscles and bones are thick, and his martial arts are at least equivalent to the fourth level of the physical realm of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his internal strength... And he is a patrolman, and he can have up to one hundred after the commander's office... Even if he eats a vacancy, there are still twenty or thirty commanders, and he has an official body, which can greatly offset the power of magic... Even if he can't do it, he can still use the county magistrate, and there must be three or five hundred soldiers in a county..."
"With such a great power, can't you do anything about a small town?"
Chapter completed!
