Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 70 Zunhua Department Fox

There are many fox demons in Zunhua County. In the last archway, there are groups of male foxes, often coming out to harm people. The more they drive them away, the more fierce they are. Qiu Gong, the county magistrate, was very angry when he heard about this. The fox demon also heard Qiu Gong's name for a long time. He was afraid of his strength. He turned into an old woman and visited him and said, "Please don't force each other step by step. Give us three days. At that time, we will definitely move away."

Qiu Gong was silent, and he had already had a plan in mind. The next day, at noon, he adjusted the brigade and escorted hundreds of cannons. The muzzle was aimed at the archway, ignited the lead, and fired a hundred cannons at the same time, but the sound shook the sky. In an instant, the archway was destroyed into the ground, and the number of fox casualties were exhausted. The skin and flesh and blood were sprinkled like rain. In the thick fog all over the sky, suddenly rushed out. A wisp of white gas, smoke soared into the air. Qiu Gong said hatefully, "One escaped."

Since then, the government office has been safe and sound.

After two years, Qiu Gong sent his men to send money to Kyoto in order to promote his official career. Before the matter was completed, he temporarily hid the silver in the cellar. Suddenly, an old man ran to the palace to beat the drums and claimed that his wife was killed by Duke Qiu. Not only that, during his tenure, Master Qiu deducted military money, filled his own pockets, and hid a lot of money at home. If you don't believe it, you can search at home.

The official was ordered to go to Qiu's mansion to search for the stolen money, but found nothing. The old man gently touched the ground with his left foot. The official was satisfied and dug three feet of the ground. Sure enough, he found a large amount of gold. The gold was engraved with the words "a certain county solution". At the beginning, the old man disappeared. The government took the household register and searched around in vain.

Qiu Gong was framed and executed. Everyone speculated in private that it was no one who harmed him, but the fox demon who escaped.
