The pale yellow sun has just risen, and a hazy mist envelopes Qianshan County.

The bustling streets are filled with the aroma of various snacks.

At the corner of a street, a scholar and his horse each had a bowl of noodles and were eating them.

No one cares about people eating noodles on the roadside.

After all, many breakfast shops are very small. They are nicknamed "fly restaurants" locally, and their shops are only as big as a kitchen.

If you want to eat, you can only find a suitable place outside.

Some stores will put some chairs outside.

Of course, this chair is not for you to sit on, it is for you to use as a table...

If you put this kind of dining environment anywhere else, the guests would definitely turn around and leave.

But in Qianshan County, the smaller the restaurant, the more people there are.

Sometimes if you come late, the ingredients may be sold out.

Everyone finished eating the noodles at the same time, and Li Qingshan sent the bowls and chopsticks back to the store.

The little red horse flicked his tongue: "Eh!"...It's a bit spicy!

"Who told you to eat spicy food? When the boss heard this, he mixed half a pot of sea pepper into it for you."

After saying something with a smile, Li Qingshan walked directly towards the tea shop nearby.

There were three small tables outside the tea shop. No one was drinking tea early in the morning, so the seats were all empty.

"Mr. Li, what are the old rules?"

The owner of the tea shop is a middle-aged uncle. In the early years, he had a bad fight and had one of his legs broken. Now the disease has taken root and he has become a lame.

But since he opened this tea shop, he has become more easy-going, and the edges and corners of his youth have been smoothed away little by little by the years.

Li Qingshan nodded: "Old rules."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

soon.

The lame boss came up with a teapot with a sharp spout and a teacup with some tea leaves.

The hot tea falls from the spout into the cup, and the tender green tea tumbles in the cup, stimulating a rich tea aroma.

After making tea, the lame boss put the pointed pot on the table and returned to the shop to get busy.

It has been more than a month since Li Qingshan and the others arrived in Qianshan County.

Xiaoyao'er and the others performed well during the entrance exam.

According to the test Confucian scholars, even if there are not three special quotas, these three little guys can still enter the academy based on their ability.

Hearing this, Li Qingshan was very pleased, which meant that his hard work during this period was not in vain.

Of course, the main reason is that Mr. Xue has laid a good foundation for these three children before...

Within a month, Dean Qiu and Xun Zhizhou of Qianshan County College came to see him once respectively.

forward

The two have similar ideas.

One wanted him to enter college and become a teacher.

One wanted him to be a staff member to help deal with some "difficult diseases" at certain times.

The conditions offered by both were not bad, but Li Qingshan politely refused.

After all, for him, there is nothing more comfortable and comfortable than making a pot of tea every day and taking time to write.

Even though they were rejected by Li Qingshan, neither of them forced it.

After all, the ability shown by the other party is not enough to invite them over and over again.

Although Mr. Gaoli is strong, there are quite a few people in Qianshan County who can kill him.

The reason why those people didn't take action was simply because they had no reason.

The sound of fast horse hooves came from afar, and in a short time they were galloping past Li Qingshan on the street.

The person sitting on the horse was wearing a post office uniform. Judging from the way he was running non-stop, it was obvious that he was here to deliver some important letter.

People's curiosity was aroused by the speeding messenger, and people in the streets were discussing what might have happened.

After drinking the tea for the third time, the sun rose to due east.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The old beggar on the street corner started working. He was holding a broken bowl, shaking the few copper plates in the bowl, and walked towards Li Qingshan with a smile on his face.

This is really interesting. The first business to be done every day is Li Qingshan's.

But he didn't ask for money empty-handed. Every day, he would exchange a strange person and strange thing that happened in Qianshan County with Li Qingshan.

"Congratulations on getting rich, Mr. Li!"

"Today's news is really exciting. You can't buy it with two copper coins and suffer a loss. You can't be fooled when you buy it!"

The old beggar came closer and while talking and laughing, he revealed a pair of incomplete yellow teeth.

Li Qingshan took out two coins, put them into the old beggar's broken bowl, and said with a smile: "Isn't there news that Myolie has cheated on me again today?"

"I can tell you that if there is news like this again, I can only give you one copper plate tomorrow."

Hearing this, the old beggar immediately shook his head: "That's not true! Today's news is definitely shocking news!"

Seeing the serious look on the old beggar's face, Li Qingshan became somewhat interested: "Let's talk and listen."

After hearing this, the old beggar kept talking about the "shattering news" in his mouth.

It turned out that what he called news was exactly what happened to the emissary who sped away in the morning.

According to the old beggar, after the postman entered the city, he went straight to the magistrate's mansion in Qianshan County.

As soon as the messenger got off his horse, the horse lay on the ground, exhausted.

The messenger who knocked on the door of Zhizhou Mansion rushed in.

When the gate of Zhizhou Mansion opened again, a large number of officers and soldiers came out, followed by Zhizhou Xun!

Xun Zhizhou held a pale golden scroll in his hand and posted it on the bulletin board himself!

Pale golden scroll?

Is this a national edict?

Generally speaking, only major events involving the national destiny will be announced to the world using "national edicts".

Seeing that the old beggar was thirsty, Li Qingshan simply asked him to sit down and asked the lame boss to give him a cup of tea.

The old beggar didn't mind that the tea was scalding to his mouth, so he drank all the tea that was just poured in one gulp.

He took a long breath and continued talking.

The content of the imperial edict is roughly as follows:

Xia Dongming, the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, colluded with the spies of the Wu clan and endangered the lives of people thousands of miles away!

After multiple investigations, the evidence has been confirmed!

The second prince and his accomplices were all taken to the prison, awaiting trial!

However, this is only one of the national edicts.

The second item is that not all of the Shaman spies colluded with the second prince were caught!

Half of them used secret methods to escape!

So far, his whereabouts are unknown!

Therefore, a reward is offered to people all over the country!

Anyone who provides real clues to the wandering witch clan will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver and a hundred acres of fertile land!

If someone can be arrested and brought to justice... here there is no distinction between life and death... a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, the title of General of the Suppression of Witchcraft, and the possibility of entering the court as an official, up to the fourth rank!

This kind of reward cannot be said to be generous!

Especially those fourth-rank officials, they can make people reach the sky in one step!

At this point, the old beggar drank another cup of tea, exhaled a long breath of hot breath, stood up and bowed: "Mr. Li, this is shocking news, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Yeah." Li Qingshan smiled helplessly: "Forget it, until I go to see the imperial edict."

The old beggar rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Hey, then I won't disturb you sir for tea. I'll go see who doesn't know this shocking news."

"etc."

After hearing this, the old beggar turned around and left, thinking that Li Qingshan was going to regret it, so he immediately hid the broken bowl behind his back and said with a mournful face: "Mr. Li..."

Ding bell...ring...

The sound of copper coins falling into the porcelain bowl was heard.

When he turned around, he didn't see Li Qingshan. Then he heard the sound of a broken bowl of money behind him. He quickly took the broken bowl in front of him and took a look.

There are two more copper coins in the bowl!

"Today's news is very good. The two extra copper coins are a price increase for the shocking news."

A long voice came.

The old beggar followed the sound.
Chapter completed!
