Chapter 81: The evildoer appears and the county is in trouble again

After saluting, Wang Wenyuan explained his intention:

"Master Registrar, the County Magistrate prepared the official document for us three days ago and asked me to pick it up today."

Upon hearing this, the chief clerk put down the pen in his hand, looked away from the paper on the table, and looked at Wang Wenyuan.

Then, an official apologetic smile appeared on his face:

"Wang Martial Master, I'm really sorry, because the county has been very busy these past two days, and as the New Year is approaching, I can't handle all kinds of official documents."

"So the guide for you and Master Chu has not been approved yet."

Hearing this, Chu Changqing said in his heart that it was indeed the case.

It's over, it looks like it's hard to leave.

In this short blink of an eye, he thought a lot.

The chief clerk was infected, and the county magistrate happened to have something important to discuss with Mr. Zhang Qi.

Have the county magistrate and the general banner been infected?

If the county magistrate and Mr. Zhang are also infected.
hiss.
When Wang Wenyuan heard this, he frowned: "Hasn't it been approved? But the county magistrate personally made a promise to my father three days ago, and also explained it to me."

Before Wang Wenyuan finished speaking, the chief clerk interrupted him.

"Wang Martial Master, some things will be fulfilled just because they are said or promised. You must understand the difficulties of being an official."

"Is the road guide very important?"

"I think compared to the people's livelihood, it won't be a problem for you to delay the road for another two or three days, right? Or is there some special reason why you are so anxious to leave?"

"Please go back first. After Lu Yin approves it, I will ask someone to send it to you."

After listening to what the chief clerk said, Wang Wenyuan's expression did not change, but the corners of his eyes moved a lot.

He was a little angry.

But in the end, he still focused on the overall situation.

Wang Wenyuan held his hands in silence, led Chu Changqing out of the room, and strode away.

The chief clerk looked through the window and saw Wang Wenyuan completely leaving.

He quickly stood up, walked to the corner next to the bed, moved a piece of stone brick, exposed the cave behind, and stretched out his sleeves.

Then a fat mouse jumped out from his sleeve and rushed into the cave.

Then, he blocked the cave with stone bricks.

Looking out the window at the deserted courtyard, his expression was gloomy.

After leaving the courtyard where the chief clerk was located, Wang Wenyuan took Chu Changqing and left the county government office.

Because there is no point in getting emotional or acting rogue at this time.

In his understanding, if the chief secretary dared to speak to him like this, there must be someone behind him to support him.

He vetoed what he had admitted at the time and used high-sounding things to suppress him.

Wang Wenyuan subconsciously believed that it was the instructions given to him by the county magistrate.

'Don't let Chu Changqing leave. '

But he didn't know the meaning of forcing Chu Changqing to stay.

If Chu Changqing really breaks through the innate realm, not even the county magistrate, not even the state capital can stop him.

Deliberately restricting them now will only increase their boredom and lay hidden dangers for the future.

All his previous efforts to be a "courteous and virtuous corporal" will be in vain.

At this time, Chu Changqing spoke, clearing up Wang Wenyuan's doubts:
"Master, I'm afraid we have to find another way."

Chu Changqing took a breath and lowered his voice to prevent passers-by from hearing: "Disciple saw that there was thick black smoke above the head of the chief secretary, and it was scary."

After hearing this, Wang Wenyuan paused, glanced at the pedestrians passing by on the street, and asked in a low voice in surprise: "Are you saying that the chief clerk has also turned into a transvestite?"

Chu Changqing nodded, indicating to Wang Wenyuan to keep walking and not to expose any flaws, and at the same time lowered his voice and responded:

"I'm afraid so, and the black smoke on the master's door is far stronger than the shemale on the street."

In Chu Changqing's eyes, the demonic aura above the heads of many people on the street was still there, but it was nothing compared to the billowing smoke above the head of the chief clerk.

Hearing Chu Changqing's affirmative words, Wang Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat, and his already somewhat angry and displeased mood became even more heavy.

Wang Wenyuan said with a solemn expression: "If this is the case, then it may not be that simple for the master to leave you, my apprentice, and the people in the Wang family's mansion."

"Go, go back first."

The two of them quickened their pace and arrived at the Wang family's residence.

Now many of the servants in the Wang family's mansion have dispersed, just to make it easier for them to leave.

I never expected that something like this would happen.

"Changqing, do you think the county magistrate and others have already done it?" Wang Wenyuan asked Chu Changqing.

Chu Changqing pondered and then replied: "I can't be sure. At least when the disciple saw the county magistrate a few days ago, he was not infected by the evil spirit."

Then he added: "Master, maybe only the chief clerk is infected, not everyone in the county government has problems."

Wang Wenyuan waved his hand and replied: "It doesn't matter."

"No matter what, we have to leave this city."

Wang Wenyuan had already prepared for the worst.

Forced to leave.

If only the common people were affected, although he was anxious and wanted to leave early, the situation was still controllable.

But now that the officials in the county government have been infected by evil spirits, and they have been infected under the noses of the masters from Jinguang Temple and Shazi Camp, the problem is huge.

This means that they can't even guarantee the safety of the imperial court's own people, so what can ordinary people or martial artists rely on?
If you stay, I'm afraid you'll end up being a death squad.

Therefore, Xinzhuang County must go.

"Wait two hours and I'll go to the county office again. If we still can't see the county magistrate or get the road guide, then we'll go alone!"

Wang Wenyuan made a decisive decision.

Now that everything is ready, there is only one final step left. He must be responsible for the safety of Wang Wancai and Chu Changqing.

Moreover, what happened just now when his servant Wang Mang eavesdropped at the door has been lingering in his mind like a haze.

Now Chu Changqing told him that there was also a problem with the chief clerk.

Hey.
Even if you arrive at the gate of Huangtu County and are temporarily unable to enter, it is still better than waiting for danger to slowly erode you in Xinzhuang County.

Looking at Chu Changqing who was also thinking, Wang Wenyuan felt relieved and very happy at the same time.

Fortunately, he accepted such a disciple.

If it weren't for Chu Changqing, he might be like all the ordinary people in Xinzhuang County now.

Thinking that the evil spirits have been eliminated, you can live a peaceful life, and then when danger suddenly comes, you will either solve the danger or be swallowed up by the disaster.

Wang Wenyuan also thought about whether to integrate the armed forces of Xinzhuang County and carry out resistance, including establishing contact with Zhang Zongqi, Monk Fayuan and others.

But in the end, he gave up.

Because not everyone has a strong emotional relationship like him and Chu Changqing, there are too many things to explain, and it will trigger a series of unexpected events.

So, leaving is the best option.

"Wait, wait two more hours." The county government said.

Zhang Liao smiled and discussed the current situation of Xinzhuang County with the county magistrate.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhang Qi, our Xinzhuang County has finally ushered in a period of stability. The people are all grateful to you."

The county magistrate's face was full of compliments, and his words were indeed filled with sincere emotions.

Zhang Liao came from Xinzhuang County and did everything personally. He was much more responsible for the people than he was.

Before, he had only heard that the warriors in the Killing Camp were tough guys who couldn't get the sand out of their eyes, but now he really knew it.

Zhang Liao smiled and waved his hand: "It is only through our warriors, common people and officials in Xinzhuang County that we can achieve such good results by uniting as one and sharing the same hatred of the enemy."

"Otherwise, it may be difficult to restore the situation in the county just by relying on the 20 people from our Shazi Camp."

The county magistrate laughed, continued to praise, and then asked Zhang Liao about Daxuan's situation and future plans.

When talking about this, Zhang Liao's originally smiling expression slowly turned to sadness.

He clearly felt great resistance when executing various actions.

Whether it was countering rebellion or sending troops to support various places, from the imperial court down to the governors and censors of various provincial cities, they were very slack.

They won't be anxious unless the rebels hit them in the face.

Not only that, but the same goes for destroying demons.

A group of bald donkeys from Jinguang Temple said that the world's common people were the most important thing, but they did very despicable things. The source of law he encountered here was not cooperative. Other brothers encountered evil spirits in various places and turned to Jinguang Temple for help, but they were also avoiding it.

Zhang Liao could not see clearly about the future situation, but he still believed that Daxuan was still very powerful, but the emperor had temporarily gone astray.

"If the emperor no longer indulges in the path of immortality, then the destiny of our country, Daxuan, can continue for tens of thousands of years." Zhang Liao said.

After hearing this, the county magistrate had a clear expression on his face and said that the country would have a prosperous future and a long life.

But I have already made up my mind.

Daxuan probably won't survive for many years.

The two chatted for a while, Zhang Liao stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"The time has come, County Magistrate, Mr. Zhang's duties have been completed. My brothers and I will go to Yuzhifu to quell the rebellion."

"You have worked hard these days. Fortunately, there are no evil spirits intruding. From now on, the people of Xinzhuang County will have to rely on the county magistrate."

The county magistrate also stood up to send him off respectfully: "General Zhang Qi, be careful and take care of yourself all the way. It is a great honor for me to have official business with Mr. Zhang Qi once during my tenure."

At this moment, outside the courtroom, a man dressed in black and wearing a strong suit from the Sha Zi Camp suddenly rushed in.

Zhang Liao looked at it, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing his men panicking, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The subordinate looked at the county magistrate, then leaned into Zhang Liao's ear, covered his mouth and said a few words.

After Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "Is it true? Where is the letter? Let me see!"

The subordinate took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhang Liao.

After looking at it, Zhang Liao's face was filled with uncertainty, and finally he seemed to have had all his strength taken away from him, "Okay, you can go down."

After his men left, he said to the county magistrate with a bitter smile: "My lord, I'm afraid I will have to stay in Xinzhuang County for a while longer."

The county magistrate said without changing his expression: "Mr. Zhang Qi is very polite. Let alone a few days, it won't be a problem to stay for a few more years."

He changed the topic and wanted to know what was going on from Zhang Liao, "General Banner, are the rebels on the side of Yu Zhifu already defeated?"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "Hey, the rebels have not been defeated, but why they can't leave, I blame Zhang Liao for not telling them."

The magistrate smiled and said it didn't matter.

But he had already used Zhang Liao's words and achieved his goal.

He immediately had a suspicion in his mind.

Nowadays, there is serious internal strife in the imperial court, and everyone is fighting for power. There are only a few people who can directly control the operations of the killing camp.

Now if we don't let the Sha Zi camp move, the struggle for power must have reached a certain stage.

Hey, if you can’t get involved, if you can’t get involved, just keep making money for your retirement.

Not long after, Zhang Liao went to the hut in the county government office. He tried his best to restrain his anger and asked the source of the law:
"Dharma source, you told the superiors that the evil spirits have not been eliminated?!"

When Fa Yuan heard Zhang Liao's scolding, his face did not change and his tone was calm: "Donor Zhang, why are you so angry?"

Zhang Liao did not hesitate, and directly cursed: "Why am I not angry!"

"You know best whether the Five Gods Sect in Xinzhuang County will be destroyed or not!"

"At that time, before we took action in the cave, I told you to lay down the magic weapon, but you refused, causing the rat and the yellow man to escape."

"I said chase, but you said no. If you are so seriously injured, the only way out is death."

"But now, you've turned against me!"

After hearing this, Fayuan shook his head: "Donor Zhang Liao, as the commander-in-chief, everyone should obey your orders."

"Everything I said is just a suggestion. You don't have to accept it at all."

"But it was still you who made the final decision at that time, so please don't put the blame completely on the poor monk."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao was speechless for a moment.

But he knew that this was sophistry.

At the same time, he also began to wonder whether Jinguang Temple and the higher-ups had reached some agreement?
Because it's so weird.

From the day he partnered with Bald Donkey Fayuan, the number of times Fayuan took action was pitiful.

It's not that the source of law is weak, it's that the source of law is unwilling to take action.

Including this time when they went out to destroy the demons, the opponent was also extremely slack, and was even suspected of deliberately hindering the entire team from exterminating the demons.

It's just that at that time, internal fighting was detrimental to the overall operation outside.

After all, there are many martial arts masters and local head catchers from the county government.

After winning the battle, he felt that there was no need to study it further. Anyway, the road turned to the sky and everyone went their separate ways.

But now, Fayuan reported him to the higher authorities and kept him in Xinzhuang County.

The problem is highlighted.

What does Fayuan want to do?
In other words, what is Jinguang Temple going to do?

The adults above, why do you think your elbows are turned outward?
All kinds of doubts troubled Zhang Liao.

He took a deep breath and then calmed down: "Since Master Fayuan said that the evil spirits have not been eliminated, are you willing to go out with me to exterminate the evil spirits and eliminate the remaining evildoers?"

Fayuan didn't speak for a long time, and Zhang Liao became angry again: "Since you said that the evil spirits have not been eliminated, but now the people's livelihood in Xinzhuang County is stable, where did the evil spirits come from?"

"It has been several months since we left the city to slay the demons, and the New Year is approaching. Is it possible that the respected Lord Fayuan doesn't want the people of Xinzhuang County to have a good New Year?"

His words were sonorous and powerful, and they also contained dissatisfaction with Jinguang Temple and the orders from above.

But what he never expected was that the moment he finished speaking, his subordinates hurriedly shouted from outside the door: "Report!"

"General Flag, it's not good!"

"A large number of monsters appeared in the outer city of Xinzhuang County, hurting countless people!"

Zhang Liao suddenly turned around with a look of disbelief on his face: "What?"
