Ye Li didn't know why He Qing told him to run away, seeing his flustered expression, he comforted him.

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

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

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

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

This is the current situation of the imperial dynasty. Except for Gyeonggi and other places that are still under the control of the imperial court, other 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 dismissal of the county magistrate of Shancheng is naturally in the charge of the mansion of the king of Dongyang County.

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

He also bluntly said that killing an official ordered by the court 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, after the new county magistrate learned of this result, he firmly insisted that Ye Li secretly conspired with evil spirits to kill Wang Qingshan, and he promised to severely punish Ye Li.

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

Because of this, He Qing told Ye Li to leave quickly, and now there are Ye Li's wanted documents everywhere in the city.

After listening to He Qing's narration, Ye Li didn't change color.

This is the old lady picking persimmons, looking for soft ones?

Zhao He was also there at the beginning, but the new county magistrate didn't mention him at all, obviously out of fear of Zhao He's status as a monk.

Guess what the new county magistrate wants to do is nothing more than to establish prestige, and as the only warrior in the mountain city, he is obviously the best goal.

Regarding the bad things that Wang Qingshan did before, the new county magistrate didn't mention a word, but he made a big fuss about his collusion.

However, what Ye Li didn't understand was why He Qing wasn't arrested?

Since it was because of Wang Qingshan's incident, He Qing was also involved. The new county magistrate would not let him go, so there was no reason to ignore He Qing.

But after thinking about it, keeping He Qing was probably a bait, deliberately luring himself into the bait.

What's more, dealing with a little He Qing will not have any effect on establishing authority at all, so it is better to keep him for the time being.

Thinking of this, Ye Li couldn't help laughing, she was underestimated.

Seeing that Ye Li hadn't spoken for a long time, He Qing said anxiously.

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

"No, there is no need to go."

He has no intention of leaving at all. If a monk is an existence beyond the rules of mortals, so is Ye Li now.

Not to mention whether Wang Qingshan deserved to die, but it was not the new county magistrate's turn to punish him.

Not caring about these things, Ye Li strode into the city, seeing this, He Qing was anxious, but helpless, he could only follow quickly.

All the way back to the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall, I found that this place has been sealed by the county government.

"Master."

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

"Go tear it up."

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

After leaving for more than half a month, Ye Li felt a rare leisurely feeling when he came home again.

Wu Xiyue was busy cleaning, while Xiao Yezi was looking around curiously, Hu Xian'er was always by Ye Li's side, also looking around.

"Husband, is this our home?"

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

But she doesn't care about that,

As long as there is Ye Li, she thinks it is the most perfect.

"This is my home, you..."

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

Originally, he intended to remind Hu Xian'er, but he didn't listen to him at all, and before he could answer, Hu Xian'er started looking for it by himself.

Seeing this, Ye Li shook his head helplessly, and just followed her.

"Master Ye, this time it's not a joke. In addition to the new county magistrate, people from the county palace are also here."

When Ye Li was lazily lying in the courtyard, He Qing was still chattering away, he was really worried.

It's just that Ye Li has no intention of leaving at all, this is his home, why should he leave?

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

The eyes always give people a cold feeling.

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

This old man was the one He Qing said came from the county prince's mansion, and his name was Wu Zhong.

On the surface, Wu Zhong has no official position, but an official of the county prince's mansion.

But many people in Dongyang County know that Wu Zhong is the real confidant of the King of Dongyang, he has won the trust of the King, and actually has great power in his hands.

"Lord Zhong, the people below came to report that Ye Li had already returned, but he didn't leave. Instead, he went directly back to the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall."

Zhu Feng said respectfully, for this, Wu Zhong showed a smile of great interest on his face, and deep creases appeared on his already wrinkled face because of the smile.

"Didn't you run away? This means you have absolute confidence in yourself."

"In this case, Zhufeng, you can take someone there to see what Ye Li is capable of."

Hearing this, Zhu Feng nodded in response, but at the end, he was still a little confused.

"Loyalty, it's too much to say about redeeming a humble position. Why do we have to deal with this Ye Li? It's not necessary for a mere warrior?"

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

Regarding this, even Zhufeng was a little strange.

Why is a small martial artist worthy of Wu Zhong's treatment? Shouldn't it be the first to complete the task that the King of the County has given?

You know, this time, the Lord Junwang has reached an agreement with that person, and the mountain city is the meeting gift that the Lord County King gave to that person.

If something goes wrong here, they will not be able to bear the blame from the county king.

Facing Zhu Feng's doubts, Wu Zhong suddenly shot a cold light in his eyes, and snorted coldly.

"Are you questioning the old man?"

While speaking, a terrifying aura swept across the entire room. This aura is cold and evil, but it is extremely powerful, and it seems that it is not weaker than a monk in the alchemy realm.

Under the oppression of Wu Zhong's breath, Zhu Feng broke out in cold sweat instantly, knelt down on the ground, and said repeatedly.

"I don't dare to be humble."

"Hmph, there are some things you are not qualified to know, so do your own thing with peace of mind, and don't ask too much about other things."

"Yes, I understand."

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