Ye Ran didn't know why He Qing let himself run away. Seeing his panicked look, he opened his mouth and comforted him.

"Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"

"Master Ye, the new county magistrate............"

Under Ye Ran's questioning, He Qing took a deep breath and then told the whole thing completely.

It turned out that because the previous county magistrate, Wang Qingshan, died, a new magistrate was appointed by the county government to take over.

The current situation of the dynasty is like this. Except for Gyeonggi and other places that are still under the control of the imperial court, the rest of the places are basically under the autonomy of the princes.

Even the king of the county has the power to open the mansion, so the appointment and removal of the county magistrate in the mountain city is naturally the responsibility of the mansion of the king of Dongyang county.

As soon as the new magistrate took office, the first thing he did was to announce a thorough investigation of Wang Qingshan.

He also bluntly said that killing a court official is a serious crime and must be severely punished.

The matter was not complicated in the first place, and the truth was quickly found out. Wang Qingshan was killed by evil spirits.

However, when the newly appointed magistrate heard the result, he insisted that it was Ye Ran who secretly committed evil and killed Wang Qingshan, saying that Ye Ran would be severely punished.

It's just that Ye Ran was not in the mountain city during this time, so he didn't find anyone else.

Because of this, He Qing asked Ye Ran to leave quickly. Now, Ye Ran's wanted documents are everywhere in the city.

After listening to He Qing's story, Ye Ran did not change color.

This is the grandma picking out persimmons, looking for soft ones?

Zhao He was there at the time, but the new magistrate didn't mention it, obviously because he was afraid of the identity of cultivator Zhao He.

Guess what the new magistrate wants to do is to establish prestige, and being the only warrior in the mountain city is obviously the best goal.

The new magistrate didn't say anything about the bad things that Wang Qingshan did before, but he made a big splash about his collusion with evil.

But what Ye Ran didn't understand was why He Qing wasn't arrested?

Since it was because of Wang Qingshan, He Qing was also implicated. The new magistrate didn't even let himself go, so there was no reason to ignore He Qing.

But on second thought, keeping He Qing was probably a bait, deliberately tempting him to take the bait.

Moreover, dealing with a little He Qing won't be able to play a powerful role at all, so it's better to keep him temporarily.

Thinking of this, Ye Ran couldn't help but laugh a little. This was underestimated.

Seeing that Ye Ran had not spoken for a long time, He Qing said anxiously.

"Master Ye, let's go quickly, it will be too late if it's too late."

"If you don't go, there's no need to go."

He didn't mean to leave at all. If cultivators are beyond the rules of mortals, then Ye Ran is the same now.

Not to mention that Wang Qingshan deserves to die, but it is not the new magistrate's turn to punish him.

Not caring about this, Ye Ran strode into the city. Seeing this, He Qing was anxious but helpless, so he could only follow quickly.

All the way back to Yejia Martial Arts Hall, I found that this place has been affixed with the seal of the county government.

"Master."

Wu Xiyue was a little worried about this, but Ye Ran smiled and touched her head.

"Go and tear it up."

Hearing this, Wu Xiyue obediently stepped forward and tore these seals.

After being away for more than half a month, Ye Ran felt a rare leisurely feeling when she returned home.

Wu Xiyue was busy cleaning, while Xiaoye Ye was looking around curiously. Hu Xian'er was always by Ye Ran's side, looking around likewise.

"Husband, is this our home?"

To Hu Xian'er, Ye Family Martial Arts Hall is indeed too shabby, and it is completely incomparable to Qingqiu.

But she doesn't care about these, as long as there is Ye Ran, she thinks it is the most perfect.

"This is my house, you..."

"By the way, husband, where is your room?"

She originally planned to remind Hu Xian'er, but they didn't listen to her at all, and before she could answer, Hu Xian'er began to look for it herself.

Seeing this, Ye Ran shook his head helplessly, and went with her directly.

"Master Ye, this time is not a joke. In addition to the new county magistrate, there are also people from the county palace."

While Ye Ran was lying lazily in the courtyard, He Qing was still chatting on the side, he was really worried.

It's just that Ye Ran didn't mean to leave at all, this is his home, why did he leave?

On the other side, in the county office, the new magistrate is a thin middle-aged man with sharp snake eyes.

His eyes gave people a cold feeling all the time.

This person's name is Zhu Feng, but at this moment he is standing respectfully in front of an old man.

This old man is the people from the county prince's mansion that He Qing said, his name is Wu Zhong.

On the bright side, Wu Zhong had no official position, just the official family of the county prince's mansion.

But many people in Dongyang County knew that Wu Zhong was the true confidant of the king of Dongyang County, and he was trusted by the king. In fact, he had great power in his hands.

"Old Zhong, the people below come to report, Ye Ran has already come back, but he didn't leave. Instead, he went straight back to the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall."

Zhufeng said respectfully, Wu Zhong showed an interesting smile on his face. His face was already wrinkled, but because of the smile, there were deep creases~www.novelmt.com~ did not run away ? This is absolute confidence in yourself. "

"In that case, Zhu Feng, take someone to see what Ye Ran can do."

Hearing this, Zhufeng nodded in response, but at the end, he was still a little puzzled.

"Loyal and old, you talk a lot about redemption, why do I have to deal with this Ye Ran? It's unnecessary for a mere warrior, right?"

In fact, He Qing didn't know that the person who really wanted to deal with Ye Ran and kept staring at him was not Zhu Feng, but Wu Zhong.

In this regard, even Zhufeng is a little strange.

Why is a little martial artist worthy of Wu Zhong's treatment? Shouldn't it be the first to complete the things that the king of the county explained?

You must know that this time Lord Jun Wang reached an agreement with that person, and Shancheng was the gift that Lord Jun Wang gave him.

If something goes wrong here, they will not be able to bear it when Lord Jun Wang is to blame.

Facing Zhufeng's doubts, Wu Zhong suddenly burst into a cold light and snorted coldly.

"Are you questioning the old man?"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura swept through the entire room. This aura was cold and evil, but it was extremely powerful, as if it was no weaker than a cultivator at the Core Formation Realm.

Under the pressure of Wu Zhong's breath, Zhu Feng instantly broke out in cold sweat, fell to his knees and said repeatedly.

"I dare not in a humble position."

"Hmph, there are some things you are not qualified to know, so feel free to do your own thing, and don't ask too much about others."

"Yes, I understand."

Not daring to ask any more questions, Zhu Feng respectfully left the room. Although he was the magistrate of Shancheng, he still did not dare to show any disrespect in front of Wu Zhong.
