Hurry up and be a good mother-in-law

Chapter 85 The Daughter-in-Law Is Not Human 37
"The monster pretending to be a mountain god is dead," Cheng Fangyu looked at the people present and persuaded, "Everyone can live a peaceful life from now on, so go back and rest earlier."

"How can you prove that the dead one is the mountain god?"

"Yes, who knows if this is the leech spirit you caught from any corner to deal with us?"

"I haven't heard that the body of the mountain god is a leech..."

This leech essence has oppressed Luyun County for many years, and it has become a shadow that cannot be dispelled in the hearts of the people.

It was hard for them to believe that such a powerful existence would die so easily.

"It's easy," Cheng Fangyu was not displeased at all, "Tomorrow I will take someone to dig through this monster's lair, and take out the treasure inside him and share it with everyone."

The next day, Cheng Fangyu and Xie Shanshan took the servants and a group of monsters up the mountain, and Shi Suan went with them.

Behind them, there was a long line of people who didn't believe it and wanted to come and see for themselves.

After finding the cave of the leeches, Xie Shanshan and the monsters worked together to move the soil and sand, and it didn't take long for the cave, which was tired of a thick layer of mucus, to see the light of day.

Everyone first saw a small pile of gold and precious stones shining brightly, and then saw a large pile of white and miserable bones.

These bones are all left by leeches eating human flesh when they were still in their infancy, and there are as many as a small mountain.

Shocking.

The people burst into tears.

Sadness condensed into a thick cloud, pressing down on everyone's hearts, stuffy.

The group of subdued monsters watched this scene, not quite understanding.

In their view, this is a world of eating and drinking, and being eaten can only be blamed on their bad luck and lack of strength.

They only work hard to improve their cultivation, so they have no time to grieve over the death of their own kind.

After consulting the people's opinions, Xie Shanshan and the monsters cast spells and dug a deep pit next to the leech's cave, buried the bones, and piled up a huge grave.

The common people simply worshiped, wiped their tears and knelt down to Cheng Fangyu, thanking him for eliminating harm for the people.

Regardless of whether he will be a good official in the future, he has done good things now, and he deserves everyone's gratitude.

The gold and precious stones were brought back to the county government, and after the estimated value, they were distributed equally to all the people according to the population.

Everyone gets enough money to buy a meal of meat.

Holding this meal of meat, I recalled Xinzhi County's appearance of calmly distributing treasures in my mind. Everyone believed that he was not a corrupt official.

If so, it is impossible to refuse the temptation of such a large pile of treasures.

On this day, Cheng Fangyu wrote a notice, informing the people that the imperial court had already exempted everyone from taxes. It was the previous magistrates who collected taxes without authorization. From now on, all those taxes collected without authorization will be exempted.

Yamen servants beat gongs and drums and recited everywhere, spreading the content of the notice.

This time it went smoothly, and no one smashed their things.

Wherever they passed, the people knelt down in groups, calling God to open his eyes and send such a good official to save them from the fire.

With the story of the mountain god as a foreshadowing, % of the people believed it when they first heard about it, and the remaining % were dubious.

Before calming down from the surprise of tax exemption, the yamen servants came again with drums and gongs, telling everyone that Chengzhi County will officially open the yamen trial in the afternoon. .

The people were overwhelmed with gratitude, and those who were free or not, all took the time to gather in the county government office to watch.

There is only one person on trial, the county magistrate.
