At the same time, Fang Chang and Liu Ahuang, the dog demon, have already walked more than half of the distance.

After he announced his farewell to the land, he took the yellow dog and headed to Ninghe Prefecture together.

Huqiao Town is located within the jurisdiction of Ninghe Prefecture, but it is a marginal area, and an official road connecting Huaifeng Mansion and Long'an Mansion on the east and west sides passes through Huqiao Town, which makes it easier to go to the other two prefectures than to go to Ninghe Prefecture. Hefu Fucheng is more convenient.

The road is relatively barren, all of which are small roads.

Although most of Ninghe Prefecture is a plain, there are not a few gullies and gentle slopes. The Baigou River comes out of Yunzhong Mountain and forms an alluvial fan at the mountain pass. Huqiao Town is at the root of this alluvial fan.

Historically, whenever mountain torrents broke out, the Baigou River would flood, often causing heavy damage. After continuous dredging, straightening, and water conservancy construction, the disaster of the Baigou River was finally stopped nearly a hundred years ago.

This is also the origin of the name of Ninghe Mansion.

Due to the remoteness, Fang Chang and the dog demon Liu Ahuang slept in the wild at night. They found a shelter from the wind, lit a fire, and roasted and ate the unfinished plant tubers in Fang Chang's package.

Looking at the moonlight and starry sky, they chatted a lot.

Liu Ahuang had never said so many words before, and it benefited a lot from Fang Chang's chat. It felt that after communicating with this Mr. Fang, his cultivation base had also improved a lot without knowing it.

Maybe, I should find time to change my words and call the person in front of me "Fang Xianchang"...

"Ah Huang, is Ninghe Prefecture ahead, right?"

Fang Chang stopped and looked at the small town ahead.

Unlike Huqiao Town, this small town is surrounded by a city wall.

The city wall is not too high, about twice the height of ordinary houses. The wall is slightly inward to make it more stable. The cyan city bricks are wrapped in the outer skin, showing a special texture.

There are mostly farmlands around Fucheng, and there are no villages near or far away.

A man and a dog were facing the city gate, where there were two soldiers lazily collecting city taxes and checking the goods occasionally. Those who go out of the city don't care, and those who enter the city are queuing up, and then they will offer copper coins in a proper manner.

It's a big source of income everywhere.

Fang Chang looked at it, and smiled at Liu Ahuang at his feet: "Fortunately, we only need to pay the city entrance tax for one person."

There were many pedestrians around, Ah Huang didn't dare to speak, but just nodded. Looking up at the sky, Fang Chang wrapped it tightly, stepped forward to pay a copper coin to enter the city, and brought the dog demon Liu Ahuang into the city of Ninghe Prefecture.

Compared with the outside of the city, the inside of the city is another look.

Although it is not as prosperous as Huqiao Town on the official road, the city is more clean and tidy.

"There is no rush to go to the county government and other places."

In the eyes of those around him, Fang Chang seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to Liu Ahhuang next to him.

"However, it's strange. Why in a prefectural city, the yamen inside should be called the county yamen, and the highest officials should be called magistrates? But the upper prefectures are the prefectures and magistrates? Shouldn't they be called fuya and magistrates?"

As a dog demon, Liu Ahuang certainly cannot answer this question.

It can know that there are prefectural cities, county government offices, and magistrates in the world, and it can already be regarded as a well-informed monster.

The surrounding environment is quite different from that of Huqiao Town. There are mostly shops along the street, and brick houses in the city. The eaves stretch out towards the street, covering a little bit of the sky above, bringing a sense of stability.

Because he was in a hurry, Fang Chang didn't look at the shops on both sides, but took the yellow dog and walked in the direction of saying hello.

…………

...

Town God's Temple.

There are many people in Fucheng, and the incense here is quite strong.

Holding the letter from the land lord Wu Huaijin, Fang Chang bought a stick of fine incense at the incense candle stand at the entrance, lined up to light the offering, and then muttered in a low voice:

"The City God of Ninghe Mansion, Rong Bing, was entrusted by Wu Huaijin, the land of Huqiao Town, to bring a letter and tell him about something. He also hoped that the City God would show up to meet him. Fang Chang, the scattered man of Xianqiya, nodded his head."

Then he cupped his hands and exited the gate of the Town God's Temple to wait.

Before coming here, chatting with Wu Huaijin, the Landlord of Huqiao Town, Fang Chang learned that the Landlord is indeed very well-connected. He not only has friendship with the parade night messenger, but also is a good friend with the City God of Ninghe Prefecture.

Therefore, considering that it would be much easier to have the help of the local gods to do things here, I asked the Lord of the Land for this letter, and came here to meet the City God of Ninghe Prefecture first.

If he is willing to help, things will go well.

After a while, an old man came over alone and asked:

"But Xianqiya Sanren Fang Chang? I am a good friend of Wu Huaijin, and I heard that there is a letter."

Fang Chang saw that although the other party was clothed in ordinary clothes and grass shoes, his steps were steady and his appearance was imposing, and there was a hint of majesty in his gestures and gestures, so he smiled and said:

"Exactly."

The other party bowed his head and cupped his hands, and saluted slightly: "Thank you for your footsteps. This is the city god of Ninghe Mansion, Zhao Rong. If you don't mind, please come into the mansion to tell me."

"Naturally, I am happy."

Glancing at the dog monster under Fang Chang's feet, City God Zhao Rong waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly, but he came to the City God Temple.

The servants come and go, all of them are from the City God's Mansion, it can be seen that the office here is busy.

Let one person and one dog into the living room, let the people next to you serve tea, and when the two parties sat down, the city god asked: "I see the cultivation level of my step, I don't know where is the fairyland? Where is this fairy cliff?"

"Not far from the jurisdiction of Ninghe Mansion, in the Yunzhong Mountain, there is a fairy cliff, and I am practicing on that cliff."

"Then this... dog demon?"

"This is an aborigine in Huqiao Town. He has achieved success in cultivation and refined his bones. Ah Huang, come and see the City God soon."

Hearing the words, the dog demon who was restrained and dared not speak before immediately got up and cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Little demon Liu Ahhuang pays homage to Lord Chenghuang."

City God cupped his hands slightly in return.

Fang Chang continued: "The matter of coming this time is related to this dog demon, but Zhao Chenghuang should read the letter first."

Then he took out the letter written by Land Wu Huaijin and handed it to Chenghuang.

After taking it, Chenghuang didn't avoid people, took it apart, scanned it from top to bottom, and said with a smile: "Old Wu said in the letter, let me try my best to meet Fang Xianchang's request, don't be negligent, I don't know what Fang Xianchang is doing this trip? He didn't mention it in the letter."

Fang Chang cupped his hands and said:

"But in Huqiao Town, there are evil gentry and guards colluding to trap a family, which is the master of this dog demon Liu Ahuang."

"The evil gentry wanted to embezzle the other party's land, but there were more than one evil incidents. Behind the guard was Qian Wenrui, an old official in the county government. He relied on his power to block the way for the victims to file complaints."

"Although I am a casual person, but seeing this injustice, I will take care of it, so I am running around. I still hope that Zhao Chenghuang will warn the official Qian Wenrui and remind the county magistrate that the victim is on his way. Here, prepare to beat the drum to avenge justice.”

The City God responded readily:

"Since Lao Wu is willing to write a letter, I think this matter will not be bad. I hope Fang Shangxian will wait a while, and I will take care of this matter next time. Please wait for the good news."
