The city gate opened, and Song Mu and his party immediately walked in.
After Song Mu and others came in, the soldiers guarding the city gate hurriedly closed the city gate completely. Countless refugees outside the city were looking at it eagerly, but they didn't do anything.
However, Song Mu and others just entered the city and saw a noisy scene.
The base of the city walls on both sides were also filled with refugees. Most of them were gathered around and controlled by some officials. These people were not allowed to approach the stairs of the city wall and the piles of supplies placed under the city wall.
Most of these refugees are old, weak, and young. There is a stall nearby offering porridge, and the team is queuing up in an orderly manner.
After watching all this, Song Mu felt that what Shaozhou Prefecture did was pretty good, at least it could maintain order.
After the great changes in the world, even if the human race has obtained the method of literary power, the people they rely on most are actually these ordinary people.
They are the population, and the population represents the base of scholars and the combat effectiveness of the Wen Dynasty.
Therefore, the Wen Dynasty to this day cherishes the people extremely.
As long as a war breaks out anywhere, one thing the chief officer must do is to do his best to move the people around the war out, and after the war is over, move the people back to cultivate the land.
Shaozhou Prefecture is just a small prefecture in the north of Guangdong Province, and it doesn't have much to offer. Moreover, with the war in the south now tense, the place is obviously in a state of turmoil.
Song Mu and others were walking quickly through the streets of Shaozhou Prefecture. At this moment, the scattered pedestrians on the road were in a hurry. Many shops were closed, and there were notices posted on them announcing that they would reopen after the war subsided.
A war in southern Xinjiang suddenly made everyone around here tense.
The school captain continued to lead the way, and soon led everyone to the Yamen of Fucheng.
But at this moment, the lights here are brightly lit, there are soldiers guarding the door, and many petty officials are busy coming in and out, working hard.
The captain hurriedly ran in to report. Song Mu and others were waiting outside. Seeing this busy yamen, everyone felt a little emotional.
"With the war in southern Xinjiang, the people are really leaving their homes and the imperial army is ruthless."
Xue Kaiwen was talking next to him at this time and looked at Song Mu. Song Mu lowered his eyes slightly. At this moment, he was thinking more about how the prefect would handle this matter.
Also, if this hunting trip was suddenly interrupted by this incident, would it have any impact on myself and others?
What should I do next after I and others go hunting?
Not long after, there was movement in the government office.
Several middle-aged men wearing official robes hurriedly walked out. An old man walking in the front said before he even stepped out of the threshold.
"I am Yu Changhua, the prefect of Shaozhou. Who hunted the possessed monster?"
Sure enough, as soon as the news of the enchanted monster reached the government office, it immediately shocked the government office.
The prefect was probably in his sixties, with white hair and two white beards at the corners of his mouth. He looked quite old, his face was full of wrinkles, and he spoke with a strong local accent. With the help of several lower officials, He staggered out and walked out.
Seeing Tao Fengming standing at the front of the team, this man obviously felt Tao Fengming's Jinshi aura. His face suddenly became a little more serious at this moment, and he quickly stepped forward and handed over.
"I don't know who this person is..."
"Your Excellency, the prefect, I am going down to Jizhou Prefecture, Jiangnan West Road, to teach Tao Fengming."
Tao Fengming spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, even saluting a bit lazily.
Song Mu was a little embarrassed when he saw this situation. After all, the other party was the prefect of the same place. This kind of action was a bit too offensive.
Seeing Tao Fengming like this, the prefect was obviously stunned for a moment, and frowned. However, it was obvious that he was more concerned about the news about monsters, so he didn't say anything. He just walked forward and looked at Song Mu in front of everyone. The two bodies were covered with rags.
After lifting the rag, a fishy smell spread immediately. All the officials couldn't help pinching their noses and took a few steps back. The surrounding soldiers also frowned.
The prefect, on the other hand, had no expression on his face at the moment. He lowered his head and carefully checked the situation of the two monsters, and the expression on his face suddenly became very serious.
"Where did you capture these two monsters?"
"Sir, it was in a place called Daying Mountain in the north of Shaozhou Prefecture. We captured it in the mountains there."
Xiao Xiong stood up and explained quickly. Song Mu was standing next to Tao Fengming, helping to pass the dried meat, and his eyes kept turning on the prefect and Tao Fengming.
After the prefect heard this, his expression suddenly paused, then he stood up and turned to look at the officials behind him, when a white-faced man with no beard came up holding a booklet.
After flipping it over in front of everyone for a moment, the man said to the prefect seriously.
"Sir, Daying Mountain is the place where reports of possessed monsters have been reported over the past month."
After hearing what the other party said, all the officials of the Shaozhou Prefecture had a look of understanding on their faces. They were discussing seriously, but Song Mu and others suddenly widened their eyes and looked at them one after another.
In that place, possessed monsters often appear?
Song Mu immediately looked at Tao Fengming, feeling that the matter had become even more confusing.
Tao Fengming, however, had no expression on his face. He just blinked and continued to chew the food in his mouth. He also asked Song Mu for water.
At this time, the prefect seemed to have thought about it clearly, and he stepped forward and said to Tao Fengming.
"My lord, let me tell you the truth, the war in southern Xinjiang is raging now, and our Shaozhou Prefecture, as the most important prefecture in accepting refugees, has already become a thorn in the demon's side."
"Before you, we have received many reports from that county, mostly about changes in the monsters in the mountains. The most frequent one is what you call Daying Mountain."
Having said this, the expression on the face of the prefect looked a little tired.
"When monsters appear, we must send troops to exterminate them according to common sense. But now that refugees are swarming north, we are completely unable to spare our hands and feet."
"And this is also the first time we actually see the monster's body."
"Then please make a decision as soon as possible, Lord Magistrate."
Tao Fengming said lightly, and the prefect lowered his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
Song Mu felt something was wrong. Maybe the other party had different ideas about this matter.
"I wonder if there are any big monsters in the mountains now?"
As expected by Song Mu, the prefect asked such a question at this time. The meaning was already obvious. If it is not dangerous enough, he will handle it as appropriate...
Tao Fengming frowned, the expression on his face looked a little ugly, and he didn't reply, and he became silent for a while.
The scene suddenly seemed a little awkward. Song Mu looked at Tao Fengming, and then quickly passed his eyes to Xiao Xiong on the other side. Xiao Xiong quickly stepped forward and explained.
"Sir, there is a demon commander and three demon generals in the mountain. We have destroyed two demon generals, several demon soldiers and monsters, and one demon general is still missing."
"But the most important thing is that the demon commander has now become a demon and has become a half-step demon king. We saw him soaring from the eagle that day, but now he has disappeared."
After Xiao Xiong finished speaking, the prefect's face paused, but he seemed to relax for a moment, and he said to everyone with a straightforward smile.
"In that case, let us handle this matter. Everyone, please have a good rest in the government office today."
With that said, the prefect turned around and left.
But at this moment, Tao Fengming suddenly said something calmly.
"Master Magistrate, I wonder how many scholars and scholars are currently stationed in your city?"
