52, [all the way west]

"certainly."

Someone was talking to him, and Xie Guang'an became interested in an instant. He talked endlessly, but it did not affect the noodles eating at all.

"This peaceful world has always been full of interesting things."

"But my old Xie always travels between Huaifeng Mansion and Longxing Mansion on weekdays, and only knows the things in these two places. No matter how far away they are, they are all rumors. They have not seen them with their own eyes, so they dare not spread them randomly."

"Just let me talk about my Huaifeng Mansion, which has been very popular recently. In the last state examination, eight people won at the same time. This is the first time in a thousand years."

"They are planning to go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination. I wonder how many people failed the exam this time and how many people in high school. I hope that after becoming officials, they can be a good official..."

"There is also the Longxing Mansion. Three months ago, an old man became addicted to opera and also held a competition for his daughter to recruit marriage. As a result, when the ring was halfway through the game and the winner was not decided yet, the daughter who was unwilling to do so went to his mother to cry."

"Then the old lady suddenly rose up and beat the old man up in public. The martial arts competition and marriage competition were naturally unable to be handled. The scene was really joyful, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

While they were talking, most of the noodles in the bowl had fallen.

Xie Guang'an continued:

"And the most sensational thing around here is the last time in Huqiao Town. Just before and after our last meeting, do you know?"

"I was passing by here at that time, only knowing the beginning, but not hearing the follow-up." Fang Chang said, "After saying that, he took a chopstick noodles and put them in his mouth with mutton.

The noodles and meat are mixed and chewed, and they are quite soft, tender and fragrant, with a tight mouth. The poached egg is just right, with the yolks shining dark orange and steaming.

Xie Guangan said enthusiastically when he heard Fang Chang's words:

"But it turned out that the victim's family was sent out. They found the head of the county government office in the prefecture and sued the evil gentry, the evil gentry. Just as the magistrate of Yao County was upright, he immediately ordered people to capture the town's servants and evil gentry, sentenced to a serious crime, and sent a dismissal of five thousand miles."

"And it is said that Qian Shujian, who colluded with Pang Yuanwai and covered the sky in the mansion, was sentenced to beheading. On the day of the execution, many people went to see it, and they all applauded."

"It's a pity that I have to work hard all day to make a living, but Na Ninghe Mansion is really not going well and I haven't seen it at first."

"The Liu Changqing family is really lucky. Combined with the rumors about Pang Yuanwai's family before, people in the town said that his family was blessed by gods. But I think that people must help themselves and God helps them, and it must be that the people in his family will save themselves first."

Fang Chang smiled but said nothing, and buried her head in eating noodles.

Xie Guang'an said this correctly. That dog monster is indeed a member of Liu Changqing's family. If it weren't for the frequent strange things happening here, I wouldn't have paid attention to it.

People must help themselves and God will help them, but they are very suitable.

...

After leaving the noodle stall, Fang Chang suddenly moved, turned a corner, and went to Liu Changqing's house to take a look.

The thatched huts and fence walls are still the same, but laughter has long been restored here. It seems that the injustice a few months ago did not leave too many scars for the house.

The empty cowshed became a utility room, filled with tools and firewood.

A child was playing with his yellow dog in the yard. The child threw out the sandbag from time to time. Seeing the yellow dog bring it back, he clapped his hands and laughed. The two sides had a very harmonious game.

The yellow dog occasionally turned his head and suddenly found Fang Chang looking at him not far from outside the fence courtyard, and his face was instantly overjoyed.

However, it couldn't take off while playing with the little master. It could only take the opportunity of the little boy turning around to pick up sandbags. The man stood up and arched his front paws towards Fang Chang. However, he saw Fang Xianchang looking up and returning the salute, and smiled and turned around and left.

It turned around and continued to pick up the sandbag.

After leaving Liu Changqing's house, Fang Chang was preparing to say hello to the land in Huqiao Town again.

This time I went down the mountain just to try that opportunity. There was no clear goal or time, so there was no need to pass by my friend's door and not enter.

After wandering around the town, he bought a bag of candy and carried it in his hand.

It’s not surprising that there are so many people.

This land temple is backed by a prosperous town, and its incense is quite abundant, at least far stronger than the mountain god of Yunzhongshan.

Fang Chang pinched half a jujube at the door as a knock on the door, and then was welcomed into the mansion by the Tudigong. Both sides took a seat and chatted for a while.

Wu Huaijin, a land in Huqiao Town, can be regarded as having a vast range of friendship among the gods and has a lot of friendship with the people around him.

According to the Land Government, the clerk Qian did not hide from it after all. After being executed on the execution ground, he was detained in the City God Hall and was punished according to the previous judgment.

He was cut into a thousand rods, and then he was thrown into the cycle of reincarnation, reincarnated with insects, meat and animals, and could not be obtained for a human body for a million years.

"So refreshing!"

Fang Chang commented.

…………

...

The official road passing through Huqiao Town is facing north and south.

Although it is an official path, its original origin is no longer verified. I only know that this path has existed in ancient times and is repaired every year.

Going north to Huqiao Town, the official road leads directly to the near Linxi Village, and then goes east on the southern foot of Yunzhong Mountain to Long'an Prefecture. Not far from Huqiao Town, the official road turns here, passes westward and reaches Huaifeng Prefecture.

The nearby geographical transportation has been like this for thousands of years, which also makes it difficult to walk between Huqiao Town and Ninghe Prefecture City to the south.

Fortunately, there have been rumors over the years that several magistrates have planned to build an official road from Ninghe Prefecture to Huqiao Town, which is much more convenient to go from Ninghe Prefecture to the two adjacent prefectures.

But the plan cannot keep up with the changes, Ninghe Mansion always does not meet the conditions.

Fang Chang came out from the south of Huqiao Town with a baggage and turned west.

The spring water in the bamboo tube around his waist has been drunk, and now he has changed into a whole tube of sorghum wine, but he is not in a hurry to enjoy it. Instead, he takes out a handful of colorful nuts from the package and slowly peels and eats it while walking.

Broken shells are thrown on both sides of the road, and these will soon be degraded into fertilizer and will not pollute the environment.

The official road spreads across the fields, passing by dense farmlands, ponds and rivers, and there is a pastoral scenery on both sides. The canals on the roadside are rare, but the bridges crossed by the official road are well built.

The weeds beside the road in this season also have full ears, bent over like golden millet ears in the fields far and near.

Like Linxi Village, people are harvesting everywhere. On the roads of all sizes, farmers either pick or carry, or drive donkeys and mules and push wheelbarrows, moving the harvest of the fields for a year to home.

Large carts are valuable items, and even wealthy people may not be able to afford them. How many large carts can be seen on the road are transported from a long distance, and they are rarely used to harvest them.

People coming and going are busy.

Only long and long walk on the road leisurely and quickly, without worrying about food and clothing, nor fame and fortune, and free and easy.

Even this time I went down the mountain, I just wanted to try opportunities.

Whether it is successful or not depends on the will of heaven, even if you get nothing, you just go down the mountain and take a tour.

The remaining veins of Yunzhong Mountain are stretching south on both sides, as if they were holding Ninghe Mansion, forcing the official road to turn slightly and pass through the foot of the mountain.

After passing a long mountain road and a short valley, I saw the clearness in front of me.

Not far away is the territory of Huaifeng Mansion.

The sky was a little gloomy, and the wind was filled with moisture and coolness.

Not far away, there were people resting under the big tree. They seemed to have had enough rest and were getting up one after another.

Seeing these people from afar, Fang Chang's eyes suddenly condensed.
