Chapter 20

At this time, when Wu Ming first arrived, it was better to be silent than to say more.

Although the elder seems to have something to ask for, it is a branch mission if he can do it well, but he has a big threat to wipe it out. However, he did not stay for a long time. When he found out the way, he went to the county.

"This small town is very gloomy and makes people feel numb. It's not a good place..."

After walking out toward the sun for several miles, the fog gradually faded, and Wu Ming was relieved to breathe.

At this time, we can see that the surrounding fields are continuous, the fields are crisscrossing, the chickens and dogs are hearing each other, and the smoke from the thatched cottages is rising, but it's OK.

After walking more than ten miles, I saw a square city with a circumference of several miles. The city wall was covered with green black moss. The gate was open, and the pedestrians were bustling, with a sense of dilapidation.

"It costs ten Wen to enter the city!"

The soldiers of the garrison were cold faced. They saw that Wu Mingchang was standing in a jade robe. He didn't look like the common people. His eyes moved slightly.

Wu Ming has nothing. Although the main temple also has this kind of exchange, his meritorious service is precious, so he doesn't care much about it.

But at this point, there are some small problems.

"I had some blunders. I knew that I could pretend to be a scholar and have the privilege to wear a green shirt and a Confucian costume and find a sheath for the peach sword."

Wu Ming secretly wrote down this point. Instead of entering the city, he came to the notice next to him.

On one side of the city gate, there were numerous notices, which were pasted layer after layer. The corners were yellow, and most of them were arrest documents, wanted portraits, and even official instructions.

In the middle, there is a Ming Huang list, which reads:

"... under the rule of heitai, in Heishui Town, demons are rampant and wild spirits grow up. My official is responsible for protecting the territory and the people. However, there are different paths between yin and Yang. They are characterized by calling capable people from the people, being generous and chivalrous, and relieving people's worries. Regardless of their origin and place of origin, they have achieved something. They are awarded 100 taels of silver and 100 mu of fertile land."

Below is a strange year, month and date, as well as four square, bright red official seal.

"A hundred acres of good land? It's almost a thousand taels of silver. It's very rich... It's just... Heishui town? "

Wu Ming suddenly thought of the place he had come to, but he was dumbfounded: "if you don't want to go around, you still have to go back to the origin..."

At the moment, I don't say much about it. I just went forward and gently and skillfully took off the list and held it in my hand.

"Why?"

"Has someone revealed it?"

In a flash, a group of people gathered around and looked at him with curiosity, shock, and even vague schadenfreude.

"Well? Look at this... I'm afraid I've had a lot of bad luck with a few of my previous revelers! "

Wu Ming's heart moved, but his face remained unchanged and his bearing seemed to be the same.

The two men came to see it immediately. They knew that the boy was different from the others who cheated on food and drink. They said, "have you thought about it? If you don't blame C County, no one can save you! "

"It's natural!"

Wu Ming replied with a smile. He went into the city with two people, and the fee was free.

In heitai County, it is a bit more prosperous than the outside world. There is not much hunger and cold on the pedestrians. The streets are also quite clean. Rice shops, salt shops, tea shops, pawnshops, wine shops, hotels, cloth shops, jewelry shops, brothels and so on are lined up. There are also shopkeepers who choose department stores and sell them through the streets.

All the way to the county government, Wu Ming was taken to a room to wait.

At this time, a small official said, "we are going to come later. You should pay attention to that!"

Xian Zun is the head of a county. A hundred Li Hou is not the one you want to see. Patrol inspection is in charge of the public security of a county. It is similar to the public security bureau chief of later generations. The grades of each dynasty are different, from nine grades to nine grades, but it is always an official, not a soap official.

"I know that. Thank you for telling me!"

Wu Ming gave his hand as a gift, but he got a white eye.

"Hum!"

Wu Mingli, who didn't get the expected red envelope tip, snorted and retreated. Even though he knew he had offended the kid, he would be in more trouble if he was entangled in the future.

It's just that he's not a local, but a stranger from outside, and he has no money, but it doesn't matter.

Wu Ming had been waiting for more than half an hour before he finally met the real person.

Of course, there is no tea and snacks during this period, which is the consequence of evil kids.

"Student Wu Ming, met Wu Xun!"

Wu Ming saw an official come in. He was seven feet tall, his face was less than forty years old, his skin was dark, his eyes were bright, his face was angular, and he had the air of law. Naturally, he knew it was Wu Hong in heitai County, and he bowed deeply.

At this time, I can't say that I don't have a surname. Anyway, I used to be named "nameless" before, and other reincarnation people would only think it was an alias.

This is when we pretend to be true, the truth is also false.

"Your name is Wu Ming? How dare you accept this list? Huh? Have you ever been to school? "

Seeing that Wu Ming just bowed, but did not kneel down to salute, Wu Hong's eyes just jumped, and he heard that Wu Ming called himself a "student", so he could not help asking.

He is in charge of the public security of a county. He has no choice but to be unruly and unruly, or even to be a bandit. When he meets him, he has to be cautious. If he wants to be round, he will be round, and if he wants to be flat, he will be flat. When ordinary people see him, they have to kneel down, or they will be disrespectful.

At this time, Wu Ming was calm and polite, but he had a look up in his heart.

Of course, it 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 gave preferential treatment to scholars.

"I've been studying since I was a child. I'm ashamed that I have no fame. I just need to know a few words..."

Although Wu Ming had some ink in his stomach, who knows what happened to the four books and five classics of this dynasty? If you say that you are a child or scholar, you will definitely be exposed in the exam. On the contrary, it is better to say that you only know a few words.

After reading the list outside the city, Wu Ming knew that the font here was similar to that of the great Zhou Dynasty.

"In that case, it's very rare..."

Wu Hong nodded slightly, his face a little gentle.

Although Wu Ming was not even a child, he was also a scholar. He was born in a scholar's reserve. He was always given a wide mark. It was not a formal occasion at this time, and he was not a senior of Qipin county. Naturally, he let it go: "the list is not light. Once you take it, you can't shirk it. Can you think about it?"

"Please rest assured! I've learned the skill of breathing and breathing since I was a child, and my father and I have a long history together. I've asked for some magic talismans in my body. I'm still a little sure about it, little ghost... "

Wu Ming said that when he saw Wu Hong, he seemed to be hesitant. Then he said, "this trip is boring reading. I think it's better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. This time, I've come over Heishan..."

This last sentence was added by the thought of the people in Heishui town and their appearance of being scared to death when they came out of Heishan.

"Black Hills?"

After hearing this, Wu Hong's face changed, and he noticed Wu Ming for a long time. Then he said with a smile: "the world is not peaceful now. You can travel around, obviously you have a magic power. In that case, I will report your name..."

"Thank you, my Lord!"

Wu Ming saluted deeply, when the task of knowing the sea suddenly changed

[successfully arrived in Heitai county and won the list, branch line task - arrived (completed)!]

[the second branch line mission starts: investigation!]

[mission objective: you need to find out the truth of the disaster in Heishui town within seven days, and if you succeed, start the main task! If you fail, you can deduct 1000 small contributions. If you don't make enough contributions, you can wipe them out!]

"Heishui town?"

Wu Ming sighed and frowned: "is it really related to that town? But why go to the county first? "

Wu Hong also asked: "well, you are a young talent, my father and elder in Heishui Town, please give it to you. The county has orders. Within seven days, there must be results... What else do you want?"

At this time, the servants served tea, and the conversation came to an end.

"Well... To deal with ghosts and goblins, students still need some materials to decorate the altar and sacrifice..."

Wu Ming pretended to be in a bit of a dilemma.

However, he is penniless and destitute.

"This official will naturally tell the public account that when you leave, you should take ten liang of silver and go away!"

Wu Hong frowned and lifted the cup.

Wu Ming naturally knew that this was the way to deliver tea, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

……

Out of the yamen, Wu Ming felt the silver in his arms, but it was a sneer.

The book is twelve Liang, but the household officials and petty officials at all levels immediately shrink by half. This is the rule, and no one can say anything.

Wu Hong said that it was 12 Liang. In fact, the book may have gone 20 Liang or 30 Liang. There is no need to elaborate.

Finally, I thought I would ask him to do something. What I gave him was fine white official silver. It was scattered and silvery. It was not a small sum, and it was enough for a family of three to spend a year.

"I don't know whether Tu yanghao's tasks are to change or fail, or even to reveal them separately after I reveal the list."

Wu Ming seems to wander aimlessly in the county, but he doesn't care about the tail coming out of the Yamen behind him.

The government is not a fool. How can it let him take the money and leave? It's bound to follow.

It's OK at this time, but once it's over seven days, or you want to escape, the end will be... Hehe

"But... The water in Heishui town looks very deep..."

Wu Ming didn't go out of the city to stimulate his two tails. Instead, he walked slowly, but his brows were tight: "that Wu Hong! He has strong muscles and bones, and his martial arts are at least as good as those of Zhou. He is a good hand with four physical conditions and strong inner strength... And he is a patrolman, the head of the lower class and the servant. He can have up to 100... Even if he has a vacancy, he has 20 or 30 servants, and he has the official body, which can greatly eliminate the magic power... Even if he can't, he can also use the county captain and the soldiers of a county, Three or five hundred must have... "

"With such a great power, why can't it happen in a small town?"

Wu Ming frowned.
