I have practiced so well that every attack I make is sure to hit.

Chapter 55 Fair and Strict
Everyone followed Chen Duling into the inner city.

The county magistrate is aloof and always stays in the inner city. Zhang Lingfeng has only seen the county magistrate twice since he entered the Yamen.

The first time was when he became Ao Dagang's personal disciple, and the county magistrate came to support Ao Dagang.

The second time was when Qian Shiyuan became Ao Dagang's direct disciple. As a senior brother, he participated in the apprenticeship ceremony and was fortunate to see the county lord himself again.

Now, Chen Duling took four of them to escort Hu Yanlin's body to the Inner City County Yamen to report to the county magistrate in person. This was the first time.

Several people rode into the city.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the Neicheng County Government Office together.

"Master Liu!"

Inside the county government office, there was no sign of the county magistrate. Only Master Liu was seen guarding the government office alone.

"Haha, Mr. Chen Chaosi!"

Everyone has met Master Liu, and Zhang Lingfeng often comes into contact with him because of Ao Dagang's relationship.

"Hu Yanlin, an important criminal wanted by the imperial court, has been captured by me and my men. I came to the city today to report what happened to the county magistrate and to reward him for his merits."

Chen Duling said bluntly.

"Haha, the Lord County Lord heard the news last night and knew that Mr. Chen had captured Hu Yanlin. He specifically told me to wait here while we sit down and drink tea first."

Master Liu smiled.

"The county magistrate is not in the county office?"

Chen Duling said.

"You are a little late. The County Lord has just returned. The Qian family is very happy today. Shi Yuan has made a breakthrough and has become the youngest muscle phase warrior in the inner city. The County Lord has just rushed back to celebrate. But Mr. Chen, please don't worry. The County Lord sees I will rush back immediately after completing my studies."

Master Liu explained.

"Congratulations to your lord, Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian is extremely talented and has lived up to everyone's expectations. It's really gratifying."

Chen Du said with inspiration.

"Junior brother actually broke through?"

"It seems that Master has put a lot of effort into this retreat."

Zhang Lingfeng sighed in his heart. He looked at everyone in the Chen family and found that Chen Yuanlin's expression was ugly. Ever since Ao Dagang accepted Qian Shiyuan as his direct disciple, he threatened to let Qian Shiyuan break through the flesh phase and become a muscle phase before he was twenty years old. Realm warrior, the Chen family had a premonition of Ao Dagang's ambition at that time.

In addition, he bought three years for Zhang Lingfeng, which exposed his intention to get involved in the outer city. Therefore, the Chen family has been worried that Ao Dagang's three-year agreement was just a cover to get Qian Shiyuan to take over the outer city. Became the deputy chief commissioner.

Although the County Lord is the highest official in Qingyang County, the major aristocratic families can unite to check and balance the County Lord's power. The outer city has always been in the hands of the aristocratic families.

Except for providing silver to the aristocratic family, the county government generally would not interfere in the affairs of the outer city.

But this time the situation was different. The county magistrate used the Red Lotus Sect to rebel against the party, which severely damaged the vitality of several aristocratic families and bound them to Ao Dagang and the Chen family.

Although the outer city is in the hands of the Chen family, the county magistrate has more say in the outer city than before.

If Qian Shiyuan becomes the deputy chief commissioner of the outer city, then the Qian family will have the final say in the inner and outer cities of Qingyang County in the future. All major aristocratic families will have to rely on the Qian family, and survival will become more and more difficult.

Therefore, Qian Shiyuan's breakthrough in strength has a wide impact.

It would be okay if he continued to stay in the inner city, but if he took this opportunity to become the deputy chief police officer in the outer city, even the Chen family would be stripped of their skin.

So even Chen Duling's expression became unnatural.

An hour later, the county magistrate had not returned yet, but someone else from the county government came.

"Big brother!"

Chen Duling shouted.

The person who came was her brother Chen Xuan, a perfect level strongman in the muscle phase realm. He was only one step away from unlocking the bone phase. He was less than forty years old and he was also a hero in the inner city.

Behind him, there was also a familiar figure to Zhang Lingfeng. It was Chen Dawang who had lost his post as chief mission officer and returned to the Chen family to take charge of family affairs.

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng standing in the yamen, Chen Dawang snorted secretly. If Ao Dagang hadn't interfered, he would have been able to work comfortably in the outer city, and the position of deputy chief police officer would have fallen into the hands of the Chen family.

Even if he and Chen Duling are at odds, the Chen family will ultimately be the beneficiary.

As a result, he lost his position as chief mission officer, and the Chen family could not firmly control the outer city.

"Father learned that Young Master Qian had achieved a breakthrough in strength and went to Qian's house to celebrate. I learned that you were at the county government office on the way, so I came over to take a look." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Well, the county magistrate will be here soon."

Chen Duling knew that his father seemed to be going to congratulate the county magistrate, but in fact he wanted to prevent Qian Shiyuan from becoming the deputy chief commissioner of the outer city.

Just why did Chen Dawang come here?
"The county magistrate is here!"

Two quarters of an hour later, the Zaoban yamen servant called at the door.

Everyone straightened their clothes and stood up to greet the county magistrate. After a while, a majestic man who looked somewhat similar to Qian Shiyuan and appeared to be in his early fifties walked into the county government office.

"Welcome to the County Lord."

Everyone said in unison.

The county lord's real name is Qian Wensheng, he has great fame and is also a strong martial artist.

"Master."

Zhang Lingfeng saw that Ao Dagang was following the county magistrate, Qian Shiyuan was also among them, and there was also a mighty middle-aged man, who he thought was Chen Duling's father and the leader of the Chen family.

"Chief Chen, I heard that you have arrested Hu Yanlin. Is this true?"

Qian Wensheng asked after sitting down.

"Replying to your lord, the situation is true. Hu Yanlin was extremely vicious. He was arrested for the crime. I and my men killed him in the courtyard of a private house in the east of the city."

Reported by Chen Duling.

"Oh, who did you kill him with?"

Qian Wensheng was confused.

Chen Yuanlin looked excited. He heard Chen Duling stated that he killed Hu Yanlin in the east of the city, and was about to step forward to report back and take the credit.

But Chen Duling said directly: "My subordinates killed him together with Zhang Lingfeng, the police officer in the north of the city."

As soon as these words came out.

The county government office was much quieter.

Zhang Lingfeng himself was stunned, Chen Yuanlin stared angrily, and everyone in the Chen family looked at Chen Duling in disbelief.

Even the county magistrate looked surprised.

"The wanted criminal Hu Yanlin was discovered by his adjutant Zhang Ju. She used fireworks to ask for help from four urban areas. Zhang Lingfeng arrived first and used a flying knife to repel Hu Yanlin. When his subordinates arrived, he used a flying knife to assist them. Kill Hu Yanlin next time."

Chen Duling explained.

"Zhang Lingfeng is only at the Flesh Phase Realm. How can he repel a Muscular Phase Realm warrior, let alone kill him?"

Chen Dawang said dissatisfied.

"There are still wounds on Hu Yanlin's body from the flying knife shot by Zhang Lingfeng."

Chen Duling lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of his brother and father.

Zhang Ju gestured with his eyes and asked two officers to untie the cloth strips on Hu Yanlin's body. Everyone saw that Hu Yanlin had a flying knife stuck on his chest. Under the guidance of the officers, they saw something on his throat. Traces of stab wounds from flying knives.

Zhang Ju then reported what happened yesterday to the county magistrate.

After hearing this, Qian Wensheng said with admiration: "As expected of Master Ao's disciple, he can actually assist Shangguan in killing a warrior in the Jinxiang Realm with his flying knife skills. It's amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

Zhang Lingfeng was flattered.

"Sir, Lingfeng's qualifications have always been good. With his talent and potential, he is fully qualified..."

Ao Dagang took the opportunity to say.

"Sir, I have finished taking care of my family affairs. You can go back to the outer city immediately to handle your official business."

Chen Dawang interrupted.

(Please give me a monthly ticket and a dollar reward to get on the list. You need these two things to get on the new book list!)
