Chapter 580 On Taotie’s Self-cultivation (62)
Eunuch Li doesn't understand why His Majesty is in such a bad mood today.
He didn't dare to hit the muzzle of the gun. After serving His Majesty on the morning of the court, he had a chance to breathe.
……
Jiang Tang set out early in the morning, and by noon, he had already traveled half the distance.
She changed back to her original shape and took a shortcut through the forest path. Fortunately, there was only one road from Kyoto to Zhuhe, and she quickly caught up with Song Chaoling's carriage.
For the next half day, she followed the carriage quietly until the carriage entered the city for inspection. Jiang Tang hid under the carriage and followed them into Zhuhe County.
Zhuhe County is a large county with a population of hundreds of thousands. And because of its unique geographical location, Zhuhe's business is prosperous and its people live a prosperous and comfortable life.
As soon as he entered the city, Jiang Tang smelled a faint smell of chicken feces.
It seemed to permeate the entire air and linger.
The carriage drove into the county magistrate's residence. The old man of the county magistrate had been waiting at the door of his house, waiting to greet King Zhan.
Song Chaoling opened the curtain and observed all the way. Sure enough, he didn't see a single livestock.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the county magistrate came to greet him.
The boy opened the curtain and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we are here."
Song Chaoling nodded and stepped out of the carriage. The county magistrate's waist was bent and his attitude was extremely respectful.
"I have met His Highness King Zhan. His Highness has come from afar. Come in and have a cup of tea."
"You're welcome."
Behind Song Chaoling, Li Yan followed him out of the carriage. The county magistrate took a look and hesitated: "This...is the princess?"
"My deputy."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate quickly saluted and then personally led the two of them into the mansion, introducing them as they walked.
"Zhuhe is located in the north and the weather is dry. If the prince and the girl feel unwell, please tell the official directly."
"Thank you very much. I spent a few years near Zhuhe when I was young, and I'm used to it." "That's fine, that's fine, please come this way."
The three of them walked into the lobby. The maid in the house was making tea, and Song Chaoling listened quietly to the county magistrate's description.
"Just overnight, almost last month, all the livestock in the entire county were gone! Chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, dogs, and even the fish in the fish ponds disappeared completely. Many farmers in the county They all live off these livestock. As soon as this happened, the whole county was panicked, and the officials could not sleep well all day long. The reason has not been found out yet. "
Song Chaoling took the tea brought by the maid and put it down gently.
"This matter is too strange. I want to go and see for myself."
"Okay, okay, my humble wife also likes to raise some chickens, ducks and geese. She also disappeared last month. Because of this incident, all the people in Zhuhe have not eaten meat for half a month."

The county magistrate took Song Chaoling and Li Yan to the backyard of the mansion first. There was a shack in the corner of the backyard, but it was now empty.
"It's right here, as if it evaporated out of thin air, without any trace or sound, it just disappeared completely."
Song Chaoling looked at the shack and frowned slightly.
Li Yan stretched out his hand and touched the fence of the shack. After a while, a mechanical sound sounded in his mind.
"After the identification, the traces are not obvious. Please go to a few more sites to collect traces."
Li Yan lowered his eyes.
"Are you sure it's man-made?"
"Yes, it is not man-made, but more detailed evidence is needed as to what species it is."
"Okay."
Just follow Song Chaoling.
After looking at the magistrate's shack, it was already dark.
"Your Majesty, please rest at home tonight. I will take you to see more places tomorrow."
