The blue waves in the river are rippling, and whitebait swims by, bringing up continuous bubbles.
A figure wearing a green and black robe came from the water in front of Tie Tang and others.
The robes around him were dry and neat, without any water stains. The torrential river water covered his body, as if blocked by an invisible force.
"Your Excellency..." Tie Tang didn't recognize the person coming.
"I, the magistrate of Longyuan County, haven't asked for the names of the two noble people?"
Magistrate of Longyuan County?
Tie Tang looked at it with some doubts, but in the end he did not dare to be careless and cupped his hand: "Xiaoguan Tie Tang, who serves as the chief arrester of Yuncheng, has met the county magistrate."
"Haha~ It turns out that you are the iron catcher. I have admired your name for a long time, but why do you have the leisure to come to me, Longyuan, as a guest?"
"I just heard about the Qujiang Feast for a long time and came here to watch it. Tie Mou has already negotiated with Mr. Tang of your city about this matter. Doesn't the county magistrate know about it?"
Magistrate Long Yuan seemed to really not know the inside story and seemed a little confused.
"I arrived late and failed to meet Capt. Tang. It seems I haven't seen him today. I wonder if Capt. Tie has seen him here before?"
Is Tang Captou...
Tie Tang thought about it carefully and determined that there was no Tang Captou among the people inside, otherwise he would have recognized it immediately.
"I haven't seen it."
"Aren't you there..." Magistrate Long Yuan looked a little confused.
Then he asked: "I see you two wandering here, do you need my help?"
"I can't ask for it." Tie Tang was also polite.
Magistrate Long Yuan is obviously also a member of Wu Jin's secret realm, and his cultivation is strong. If he dares to come in, he will be sure to get out.
"In that case, let's go together."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Tie Tang felt a sharp force coming from his whole body, and then his body rose rapidly, and the river water flowed by without touching a drop of it.
Buzz!
There was a sound above, and then a dazzling light came, making Tie Tang close his eyes unconsciously.
It took about half a stick of incense.
When he opened his eyes again, his whole body relaxed, and the scene around him changed drastically. He was already above the Qujiang River, among the ruined pavilions.
The huge whirlpool below has shrunk several times, leaving only a hole the size of a fist, which is still swallowing the torrential river water.
"Lord Magistrate!"
"Lord Magistrate!"
"I wonder if you, sir, have noticed anything unusual down there?"
.......
Magistrate Long Yuan waved his hand: "It should be that an ancient ruin somewhere has been opened, so there is no need to panic."
Iron Detective stood behind him and silently looked at the group of people in front of him.
Those who can stand here are all people dressed in rich and colorful clothes, either officials and squires, or wealthy people from aristocratic families.
They all have strong auras and arrogant looks. Standing here, they seem to have countless magic weapons hanging high, with their sharp edges clearly visible.
Are there so many masters in Longyuan City?
These people... I'm afraid there are not a few who have stepped into the secret realm of witchcraft, but I don't know exactly what level they have reached.
After just a cursory glance, Tie Tang felt his eyelids twitching, as if he was a lone wolf breaking into a pride of lions.
"Then...will this feast... continue to be held?" Someone asked, obviously the original plan was disrupted by the whirlpool.
Magistrate Long Yuan pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "Stop temporarily and wait for the people inside to come out."
In addition to the local forces that entered at the beginning, many outsiders also jumped into the whirlpool after the Jiuqu Pavilion was opened.
They were originally here to attend the Qujiang Feast, how could they miss such an adventure?
But Tie Tang knew.
It's easy to get in, but if you want to get out again... I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
After waiting for Magistrate Longyuan to make hasty arrangements, Tie Tang took some time off, stepped forward to thank him, and prepared to return to Yuncheng.
This is nothing.
But when Magistrate Longyuan heard Wang Andao's name, he immediately changed his face and tried his best to invite the two of them to sit in the county government office.
Tie Tang couldn't resist his three invitations, so he finally agreed and followed Magistrate Long Yuan back to the county government office.
After leaving Jiuqu Pavilion, Magistrate Longyuan stopped a policeman halfway.
From the imprint of the other party's official uniform, Tie Tang recognized that this was the head of the Supervisory Hall, who was mainly responsible for patrolling, searching, and apprehending criminals.
"Have you ever seen Tang Baotou?"
The man bowed his hands and bowed in salute: "Sir, the chief arrester should be inside."
"He's not here, where are the other two?"
"Uh... Qujiang held a grand banquet today, and the chief arrest officer also dispatched two county arrests. His subordinates were ordered to guard and patrol outside, and they were not informed of the situation inside."
Magistrate Long Yuan just frowned and didn't say much.
——
Longyuan County Government Office, Sanshengtang.
The three of them took their seats. When the tea was poured, Magistrate Long Yuan spoke first.
"It's no surprise that the Iron Catcher is a man like Wang Lingshi. It's rare for even Zhang to see him. We happened to meet him today, so there's no reason to miss him."
"Isn't there a medical department in Longyuan City?" Tie Tang was puzzled.
Zhang Zhixian responded categorically: "No."
This made Tie Tang take a deep breath and glance at Lao Wang again.
You must know that Longyuan City, as the important city of Qingshui County, holds a key position and can be said to control part of the economic lifeline of Qingshui County.
This kind of important city is only stronger than Youxian.
Compared with this, Yuncheng is not worth mentioning at all, which can be seen from the establishment of the Supervisory Yuan here.
Rao is so.
There is still no closed clinic here.
"To be honest, I also learned about your reputation as Iron Catcher because of Yuncheng." Zhang Zhixian seemed a little impressed.
Yuncheng has never had a good reputation. It is a very poor and backward backwater. In the past, no one cared about this place at all.
However, in recent years, the great development of Liu County, Yuncheng County, has made Yuncheng's reputation turn around.
And when the Clinic Division was established, surrounding counties had to pay more attention.
Many people know why the Clinic Department chose that place. It was because Wang Lingshi insisted on doing so.
That's why Magistrate Longyuan was so enthusiastic.
The three of them chatted until the sun was setting, and Tie Tang finally found a chance to say goodbye.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Magistrate, but Tie has other important matters and will come to visit another day."
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk to. The Iron Catcher is very polite."
After Zhang Zhixian finished speaking, he looked at Wang Andao, smiled and said: "It is a great honor for Zhang to meet Wang Lingshi today.
When the day comes when Ling Shi becomes a wizard, I would like to inform you to come and watch the ceremony. "
"If I were still in Yuncheng at that time, I would definitely inform Mr. Zhang to come." Wang Andao neither agreed nor refused, and adopted a compromise method.
Where are others? Isn't it up to him to decide?
The three of them exchanged a few more polite words, and Tie Tang was about to leave when he heard hurried footsteps outside.
More than one person!
"grown ups!"
"master!"
The two Tsing Yi police officers and the two government officials came to the outside of Sanshengtang together.
"What's the matter? You tell me first." Zhang Zhixian pointed at one of the guards.
The man looked panicked, sweating profusely on his forehead, and his face was red. After hearing the magistrate's words, he forcibly calmed down.
"Sir... something happened. A large number of broken corpses appeared in the city. It seems..."
"Don't panic, speak slowly." Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixian already knew that something big had happened, but he was still able to calm down.
"Among the wreckage, there seems to be... the figure of the chief catcher."
