When Gong Mengbi came to Anyi Restaurant, he heard Fatty Kang mention it and said: "Now the rat infestation is difficult to quell. I heard that the government has summoned magicians and goddesses to use strange magic to quell the rat infestation. Xiang Jun was summoned early in the morning. ”
Gong Mengbi smiled and said: "Sister Xiang doesn't live close by, but you are well-informed."
Fatty Kang pursed his lips to indicate the direction of the deer.
Gong Mengbi Qi asked: "He informed you?"
Fatty Kang said: "He has become very ambitious for some reason recently. He wants to challenge the Rat King. He is planning to kill the Rat King, recruit elite soldiers and generals, and become the king himself. These days, he has been plotting to instigate rebellion and gathered a group of people. The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled gathered information for him.”
Jialu had already heard what Fatty Kang was talking about him, and immediately said dissatisfied: "I resisted the unjust and punished the tyrannical. The Rat King had good soldiers and generals, so he looked down on ordinary rats. He expelled many old, weak, sick and disabled people. , Nowadays, the county and city are talking about rats, and those rats raised by Taoism are difficult to catch, but ordinary rats can be caught with accuracy."
Gong Mengbi said: "Now that the government has summoned strangers to drive away rats, aren't you afraid of jumping out and being used by the Rat King to stop the disaster?"
Jialu looked gloomy and said, "That's why I didn't leave."
Fatty Kang shook his head with a smile and said, "You can't beat him even if you go. That Rat King has already cultivated to the seventh level, which is much higher than you. If you dare to go, aren't you afraid of having your head bitten off?"
Gong Mengbi was surprised: "The Rat King actually has a seventh rank?"
Fatty Kang nodded and said: "This silly boy thought that his recruitment of the old, weak, sick and disabled was not exposed, but he didn't know that the Rat King had already reached the door of his house. If he hadn't stayed in the restaurant all day long, the Rat King would The king is afraid that I won’t take action, and I’m afraid he’d already come knocking on the door.”
The deer was shocked: "When did he come?"
Fatty Kang said: "He came last night when you were conspiring with some clan elders."
Jialu was shocked again: "How did you know that I conspired with the clan elder last night?"
Fatty Kang patted him on the head: "My shop, you brought a few rat demons in and asked me how I knew."
The deer immediately shrank its neck and did not dare to speak.
Fatty Kang said: "Okay, stop plotting here. I don't know why that rat is crazy. It's just that he doesn't restrain the rats. He dares to let the rats commit crimes. I'm afraid he won't be able to be arrogant for a few days. Poor practice It’s so rare, I’m afraid I’ll be wiped out once.”
It didn't take long for Xiangjun to come back. When he arrived at the restaurant, he sighed and said: "This government is also an iron rooster. It wants people to do things but refuses to give benefits. What's the point of asking for rewards from him? Not yet. The money is real.”
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Where did the money come from? The money in the treasury has been stolen for more than ten days and it has not been found. Now I am afraid that the money will not be paid out. Sister Xiang, can someone help me get rid of the rats?"
Xiangjun shook his head, stared at Gong Mengbi, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said: "I have an idea. If no one agrees, then I will take action."
Xiang Jun laughed: "I don't even want to do this if I have no money and have to work hard to offend the Rat King. That Rat is shrewd and sneaky. If we can't catch him and he escapes, I'm afraid there will be no more peaceful days."
Gong Mengbi said: "I am somewhat sure. It just so happens that I have settled in Lanyin Temple and am planning to build the Fox Courtyard. I just have this opportunity to go to the City God to intercede."
Xiang Jun said with a smile: "The government can't find anyone to do the work. Now they have posted a list and posted a reward, but the reward is not high. Come on, I will take you to reveal the list."
Xiang Jun got up and took Gong Mengbi to unveil the list. She was dressed in dark and light green and moved like the wind, leaving at a moment's notice.
Gong Mengbi was dragged out by her, but when she got out, she didn't look sideways, her eyes half-squinted, showing a kind of indifference and alienation.
Gong Mengbi wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still managed to hold it back.
Not only is her repulsive expression not annoying, but many acquaintances greet her when they see her.
Gong Mengbi walked slowly behind her, his slender eyes always filled with a hint of smile.
Xiangjun's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I don't know why, but the colder I am and the less good-tempered I am, the more they believe me. If I try to persuade them nicely, they will become suspicious."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said: "Sister Xiang now calls herself a witch, which represents the majesty of the gods. Naturally, the more indifferent she is, the more awe they will be."
Xiangjun said: "That's why I don't dare to talk nonsense outside."
But it is enough to show that Xiangjun is quite famous in the county. Although she is a witch, she has a high prestige. Everyone who knows her knows her spiritual power.
Xiang Jun took him to the county government office, and sure enough, he saw a reward posted on the wall outside the county government office. He was looking for someone to cure the rat infestation, and he would be given fifty hangings.
Gong Mengbi was speechless and said: "Fifty pieces of money? The treasury has been emptied out, leaving only copper coins that are difficult to carry, so why are you still keeping them?"
Xiang Jun said with a smile: "What's so strange about this? It's pretty good that fifty pounds of weight can be enough to give you two pounds."
Gong Mengbi revealed the reward list, and the government servant on the side beamed with joy and said, "Can you control rats?"
Gong Mengbi said: "It can be cured."
The yamen servant immediately introduced Gong Mengbi into the county yamen, and also invited Xiangjun in with him.
Within a moment, the county magistrate came in a hurry. When he saw Mr. Xiang, he asked: "Wizard, is this your friend?"
Xiangjun nodded and said, "Not bad."
The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That must be an expert. How can an expert control rats?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I have a method of summoning foxes to drive away rats. I can only use it at night. I can also command a group of foxes to drive away rats."
The county magistrate twirled his beard and said: "Foxes drive away rats, just like cats drive away rats. But please do it sir."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I don't need any money, but I have a condition."
The county magistrate said happily: "Please tell me."
After Gong Mengbi finished speaking, the county magistrate hesitated and said, "I can't decide this matter. I have to report it to the prefect."
Gong Mengbi said: "I can wait."
The county magistrate said: "No, you come with me."
The county magistrate then took Gong Mengbi to see the prefect. Zhang Taishou was now very anxious and his mouth was blistered. After hearing Gong Mengbi's conditions, he said, "Since you don't want money, I will agree to it."
The eunuch personally went to the City God's Temple to offer incense and introduced Gong Mengbi to the City God.
Incense lingers.
The eunuch couldn't see it, but Gong Mengbi had already seen the City God open his eyes.
He just heard him ask: "Who are you? I asked the prefect to introduce me, and what do you want?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I am Gong Mengbi, a student of Tianhu Academy. Now he has settled in Lanyin Mountain in the north of the city. Under the decree of Tianhu Academy, he wants to build a fox school in Lanyin Mountain. I have just arrived and have not achieved anything yet, so I dare not disturb him. City God. Now that the county is infested with rats, I can summon foxes to control the rats, and with a little effort, I dare to ask the prefect to recommend them to me."
The City God glanced at the prefect, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, but when he looked at Gong Mengbi, he behaved very gently: "It turns out he is the fox fairy from Tianhu Academy. It's a good thing that you want to see the Fox Academy. It was built in Lanyin Mountain?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I have already visited Lanyin Mountain. It is a treasure land. It is a pity that it is abandoned now. It can be used as a school."
City God said: "Okay, then I'll help you control the rats."
After receiving the City God's consent, Gong Mengbi saluted and said, "Thank you very much, Lord City God."
