On this day, two people got off the Jizhoufu Pier. At this moment, they all raised their heads and looked at the city in front of them.
"It's been quite a while since I last came back here."
One of the tall men sighed with emotion at this moment. Everyone else looked at the two of them after hearing this. Seeing that the two of them were dressed as scholars, they looked a little cautious at this moment and avoided them.
In the Wen Dynasty, the status of literati was noble and unshakable, and they were existences that ordinary people looked up to.
The people standing on the dock talking at this moment are Song Mu and Li Dong who came from Shiyang County.
Not long ago, Song Mu saw the news in the letter sent by Zhang Yiqi, and he was filled with indignation for a while.
There are people in this world who dare to commit fraud in their own name. If only people's money was damaged, it would be easy to calm down. However, people are missing because of this person, and they may even lose their lives. This has to be done.
Song Mu was angry.
More importantly, in the letter sent by Governor Fan, the guy might even be related to the Demon Cult, or even a member of the Demon Cult, which made Song Mu even more vigilant.
Song Mu would never tolerate such monsters, and that guy, because he could imitate himself, might even be very powerful.
In his letter, Fan Zhengxiong hoped that Song Mushi would lend a helping hand, which already explained the problem. This guy must be very troublesome, and he might even be at the Hanlin level.
The destructive power that these demon sect scholars at the Hanlin level could bring made Song Mu immediately decide to go there in person, making sure to put an end to this turmoil as soon as possible.
"Master, are we going to the magistrate's office now?"
When Song Mu was looking up at the Jizhou capital in front of him, Li Dong next to him said something to Song Mu.
Song Mu nodded immediately, walked towards the city with the other party, and said at the same time.
"Your Highness, it is quite risky for me to allow you to come with me this time. If things get difficult next, Your Highness should stay in Jizhou City."
After hearing what Song Mu said, Li Dong's expression seemed a little stiff at this moment, and he grinned and nodded slightly.
When Song Muyan said he was going to Jizhou Prefecture, Li Dong tried his best to follow him. Although Song Muyan explained the pros and cons, the other party still insisted.
The reason given is naturally that he hopes to seek some breakthroughs for his own strength in such matters.
Nowadays, Li Dong has been in the Jinshi realm for some time, and his meridians have almost recovered, but he has never fully used his literary power.
Song Mu didn't have any special thoughts about this, but he still felt that this matter was too risky, so he reminded him again.
Seeing that Li Dong didn't say anything else, Song Mu immediately took him to the city.
When entering the city gate, the two of them took a blood test for identity again and were allowed to enter the city only after they were confirmed to be human.
The Wen Dynasty's method of testing whether a person was a demon or a barbarian provided the first level of protection for many cities within the Wen Dynasty's territory.
Although it is not foolproof, evil creatures do not dare to enter the city easily, so this time, most of the monsters are walking in the countryside.
Song Mu and Song Mu walked into Jizhou City. Looking at the slightly familiar street scene, Song Mu was also a little emotional. Li Dong also took this opportunity to ask Song Mu about the situation at the beginning. After a conversation, Song Mu saw things.
Siqing, Li Dong also glimpsed the scene when Song Mu was studying.
Over the past few days, Li Dong has learned a lot about Song Mu's past experiences, and also knows how Song Mu came out of a declining family step by step.
"Revitalize the family" can be explained clearly.
And this time Li Dong came with him, he also had some similar meanings. When traveling in Chang'an, Li Dong mostly saw Song Mu's erudition, but he could only know from some documents that Song Mu had outstanding military exploits.
Outstanding force.
Li Dong had only experienced that kind of scene twice. When he was arresting An Guogong, the surrounding light flashed, and Zhao Feng had already executed him. In front of the imperial palace, Song Mu just stood with these people in the field, and the next moment the culprit appeared.
They all disappeared into thin air.
Li Dong was fascinated by the power of the literati and the mystery and surprise.
Although Li Dong followed Song Mu's advice at this moment, he also longed to see Song Mu use his magical powers again.
Soon the two of them arrived at the Yamen of Jizhou Prefecture.
Song Mu handed over his name card, and soon there was a movement in the yamen, and then a figure in a red robe came quickly.
The person who came was none other than Fan Zhengxiong. Before he left the office, he handed over to Song Mu in great surprise.
"Master Song, I didn't expect you to come so soon."
Song Mu also bowed his hands towards the other party in harmony.
"Song has met the prefect, and he sent you a letter that day. Song didn't dare to neglect it. It's already a bit late today. Please forgive me."
Fan Zhengxiong waved his hand indifferently, his eyes fell on the young man next to Song Mu, and he quickly handed over his hand.
"Lord Song, your words are serious. I think this Your Excellency is His Highness King Qi, right?"
Li Dong just calmly handed over his hand, Song Mu also explained the reason, and Fan Zhengxiong said with a smile.
"It is of course a great thing for Your Highness to come and see my Jizhou Mansion. The beautiful scenery here is beautiful, so I would like to take Your Highness to enjoy it."
Song Mu and others exchanged a few pleasantries and were led towards the Yamen.
After sitting down in the Yamen, Song Mu asked Fan Zhengxiong straight to the point.
"Sir, what is the current situation of the impostor you told me about in your letter before?"
Fan Zhengxiong, who was pouring tea for Li Dong, suddenly looked unhappy when he heard this. He put down the teapot and hurriedly said.
"To be honest, this is the most troublesome thing for me right now."
"A few months ago, news about the mountain residents kept coming. At first, we didn't connect the matter together. Until recently, such news was reported from various places in Jizhou Prefecture."
"We found that there was some overlap in time between this person and these disappearances, so we sent people to investigate."
"At first we really thought he was the Number One Scholar. It wasn't until we saw his true face that we realized he was an impostor. However, that man was quite powerful. Many officials were injured by him, allowing him to escape."
When Fan Zhengxiong said this, his face became even more angry.
"But not only did that guy not stop after that, he even intensified his attack. Last time, he seriously injured a Jinshi official in my house. When I went to the provincial capital to ask for help, I suddenly thought of Mr. Song."
"Is that guy at the Hanlin level?"
Song Mu nodded slightly after hearing this, but then asked the question he was most concerned about.
Fan Zhengxiong shook his head and said.
"No, this person is probably at the third or fourth rank of Jinshi, but some subordinates also reported that he is at the fifth or sixth rank of Jinshi. This is really unpredictable..."
"Furthermore, this person's escape methods are surprisingly powerful, and his traces are often hard to find in an instant."
Song Mu looked thoughtful when he heard this, and frowned slightly at this moment.
Fan Zhengxiong, on the other hand, looked at Song Mu, hesitated a little and then spoke.
"Fan really has no choice now, but he can't let the other party behave like this again, so this time, Fan really has something to ask for."
Fan Zhengxiong said this and was about to stand up and cup his hands. Song Mu also stood up quickly, cupped his hands and said.
"Song Mu is scared. Sir, this matter is not a trivial matter. I can do my best to eliminate this disaster for you and the people of Jizhou Prefecture."
After hearing this, Fan Zhengxiong had a smile on his face. He nodded quickly, but looked at Song Mu and said.
"This time I have troubled you, sir. I will make arrangements today. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Fan will coordinate the efforts of surrounding counties and villages to help you capture this person as soon as possible."
