I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Faced with this sudden change, Shen Zhi did not show any obvious surprise.

Instead, Tang Ling stepped forward without hesitation and stood firmly in front of Shen Zhi.

Her eyes were full of vigilance and hostility towards the monster-catching captains.

"I wonder who dares to touch him!"

Tang Ling's words immediately stunned the monster-catching captains.

But they did not know Tang Ling's true identity. Faced with this warning, the leading demon-catching captain's face suddenly darkened and he responded sternly.

"I'll say it again, get out of my way right now, or else don't blame the sword for being blind!"

Ah Jiu, who was eager to protect his master, stood between the two upon hearing this.

He was tall and strong, with sharp eyes, and he resolutely protected Tang Ling and Shen Zhi behind him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke as he looked at the group of monster-catching captains.

"Anyone who dares to touch my lady will die today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure suddenly burst out from Ah Jiu's body.

The monster-catching captains present were all shocked, and their faces changed drastically.

Suddenly, the situation on the field took a strange turn.

Shen Zhi stood up from his chair and bowed to everyone.

"I wonder what the adults are doing?"

It won't be long before I will become one of them, so there is really no need to make things too awkward right now.

After all, we will meet each other every day in the future.

He also didn't want Tang Ling to have any conflict with the monster-catching captains.

The leading demon-catching captain snorted coldly and said, "You killed the people in the city last night. Now we are here on the orders of the chief to bring you to justice!"

Shen Zhi understood after hearing this.

After a little thought, he roughly guessed the reason.

It must be that the group of powerful people in Yong'an City saw that the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau had returned, and took this opportunity to file a complaint and try to turn the tables on themselves.

But Shen Zhi did not panic.

He smiled and walked towards the crowd.

"In that case, I won't bother you. I will go with the adults."

"Azhi!"

Seeing this, Tang Ling quickly spoke out to stop him.

But Shen Zhi waved at her, signaling her not to worry.

After saying this, Shen Zhi left with the monster-catching captains.

After thinking for a long time, Tang Ling was still worried, so she followed.

County government.

There were two groups of people standing in the lobby.

On one side was a large group of people, all of them were the dignitaries of Yong'an City dressed in gorgeous clothes.

On the other side, Shen was the only one left alone.

The county magistrate, who was sitting high in the hall, suddenly slammed the gavel, shot a sharp look at Shen Zhi, and questioned him majestically.

"Shen Zhi, do you know what a heinous crime you have committed?!"

Shen Zhi replied calmly and calmly: "Sir, I am stupid and don't know what crime I have committed."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the county magistrate could open his mouth, the group of dignitaries in the hall could no longer hold back and spoke out in anger.

"What crime have you committed? You deliberately killed my son. I want you to pay with blood!"

Liu Daoyuan's mother was filled with grief and anger.

She pointed a trembling finger at Shen Zhi and accused him almost at the top of her lungs.

At the same time, many people also joined the ranks of condemnation, echoing loudly and emotionally.

They were all the clansmen whose lives were taken away by Shen Zhi on the bank of Baishui River last night.

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Shen Zhi remained calm and collected.

"With all the evidence, what else can you deny?"

The county magistrate's eyes were wide open and he questioned Shen Zhi harshly.

After hearing this, a sneer flashed across Shen Zhi's lips.

"It was this group of despicable people who took human lives so lightly. I am just repaying them with tooth for tooth, blood for blood!"

Then Shen Zhi told the story one by one about what had happened at the banquet at Yue Mansion.

After hearing this, the county magistrate's expression changed slightly.

The powerful and influential men in Yong'an City jumped out one after another and denied it hysterically.

"You are slandering me!"

A dignitary shouted angrily at the top of his voice.

Others echoed: "We were all present at the banquet that day, and we never saw you!"

"Yes, this is clearly an excuse you made up to deceive the county magistrate!"

Looking at the ugly faces of those dignitaries who were furious and trying their best to defend themselves, Shen Zhi sneered and shook his head with disdain.

"Since you said that my son beat you to death, why are you still standing here?!"

The father of the young master of the He family widened his eyes and spitted.

Shen Zhi glanced at him and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Of course it was thanks to the help of the master that I was rescued from the pile of dead bodies."

Liu Chuanyan suddenly interrupted and said, "If that's the case, why not invite that expert to come out and testify?"

When Shen Zhi heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

It’s not that he didn’t want to ask Yan Xiu to come out and testify, but he was worried that this would bring unnecessary trouble to Yan Xiu.

After all, in Shen Zhi's opinion, a master like Yan Xiu must have come to this small Yong'an City to avoid some trouble.

Seeing Shen Zhi remained silent, Liu Chuanyan took the opportunity to exaggerate and said, "Your Excellency, this boy is clearly lying!"

The county magistrate nodded slightly after hearing this, obviously agreeing with what Liu said.

Just as he was about to give orders, a clear female voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"I testify for Shen Zhi!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a young girl hurried over with her skirt lifted up.

She struggled to squeeze through the crowd and entered the hall.

Tang Ling glanced at Shen Zhi, then spoke to the county magistrate on the throne, with a hint of firmness in her voice.

"I can confirm that what Shen Zhi said is true. He did not lie!"

The county magistrate couldn't help but frowned when he saw this.

"Who are you?"

Tang Ling cleared her throat and said, "The master of Yue Mansion is me...my uncle!"

Upon hearing this, many of the powerful people in Yong'an City changed their expressions slightly.

They never expected that this inconspicuous girl at the banquet would suddenly stand up at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Chuanyan suddenly raised his voice and suggested: "Sir, instead of arguing here, why not just ask Pavilion Master Yue to come over."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted approval.

After all, instead of arguing whether Shen Zhi was a guest at the banquet, it would be better to directly ask the protagonist at that time to verify it.

Soon, Yuelu appeared in the hall.

When he heard the county magistrate's question, he did not answer, but turned his gaze to the group of dignitaries and revealed a meaningful smile.

Then Yue Lu looked at Shen Zhi again, looked him up and down carefully, and shook his head.

"In reply to your Excellency's words, I do not know this person, and I have never sent him an invitation to the banquet."

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate slammed the table angrily, and his voice was filled with a bit of majesty and anger: "What else do you have to quibble about now?!"

Even Tang Ling was so shocked by this scene that she was speechless and looked at Yue Lu in disbelief.

Facing Tang Ling's gaze, Yue Lu did not look at her.

He knew that Tang Ling's identity was not simple, but he understood that even if her father was present, he would definitely not blame him for this decision.

Now Shen Zhi has seen clearly the true face of these insects and doesn't want to waste any more words with them.

"So what if I killed him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many dignitaries present were immediately outraged.

"Okay, you finally admitted it!"

"Please order this heinous criminal to be imprisoned and executed in the autumn!"

Just as the county magistrate was about to order his men to arrest Shen, the latter's words made him pause.

"I am now a member of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Who dares to touch me?"
