I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Li Hu's mouth twitched fiercely a few times: "Sir, she's just a girl, so it can't be considered. And she ran away at the last minute, which means she has a relationship with that Yi Cun Qing..."

"You know shit!" Jiang Yuan interrupted Li Hu directly.

Chen Qing looked at Jiang Yuan with strange eyes. Logically speaking, shouldn't a young man in his twenties be proud and arrogant?

How come he has so much experience in the martial arts world that he can do things like eradicating the roots of the enemy?

Zhao Kai nodded subconsciously and said in a deep voice: "That's right, as long as the two sides go to war, they must kill each other completely."

So, with this idea in mind, the group hid the carriage in the dense forest and quietly returned to the vicinity of the inn.

Under the dark night, the five guys monitored every move around the inn, fearing that they would accidentally let any fish escape.

The wait lasted from midnight until dawn. The fire in the inn had been extinguished, leaving only a pile of ruins.

"Sir, are you overthinking it? No one has come back at all." Li Hu said in a low voice.

Jiang Yuan was about to speak when a figure suddenly flashed by the corner of his eye. Several people instantly became alert and focused on searching among the ruins for the girl who had escaped from the inn in the middle of the night.

"Li Hu, you're the fastest, don't let her get away. Zhao Kai, Chen Qing, you two, charge at her from both sides. Wang Gang, you follow me to prevent her from desperately trying to take me down with her!"

After the deployment was completed, Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and Chen Qing and Zhao Kai rushed out instantly.

"Who is it?!" the girl screamed, her hands quickly reached to her waist, pulled out a soft sword, and slashed backwards without looking back.

Zhao Kai raised his long sword to block, and Chen Qing took advantage of the situation and kicked the girl to the ground.

As soon as the girl stood up, Zhao Kai's big knife was already on her neck.

Jiang Yuan clapped his hands. The outcome was settled! He calmly stepped out from behind the rock where he had been hiding.

"You, you haven't left yet?" The girl stared with her almond-shaped eyes, her face full of disbelief.

The people have been killed and the fire has been set, so why are you still staying here?

Zhao Kai pressed down the long knife in his hand, and the sharp blade cut the girl's neck. Blood seeped out, and the girl couldn't help but groan.

"Of course it's for you. Otherwise, do you think we would be willing to stay in this godforsaken place in the middle of the night?" Zhao Kai said, as if he was about to draw his long knife and kill the girl.

"Wait!" the girl exclaimed, looking at them with fear and anger in her eyes.

"You five grown men beating up one of me, what kind of heroes are you? If you have the guts, let me go. Let's fight one on one!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head nonchalantly. Is it possible that this person's brain is completely underdeveloped, or his cerebellum is incompletely developed?

One on one? If you can fight in a group, who the hell would challenge you in a one on one fight?

As for heroes, does this have anything to do with us?

"I'm sorry, in the eyes of you people in the martial arts world, I'm just a dog official of the court, not a hero." Jiang Yuan said slowly.

After saying that, Jiang Yuan looked at the others and said, "Heroes, are you?"

Chen Qing, Li Hu and Zhao Kai remained silent.

Zhao Kai is a complete soldier and has nothing to do with the word hero.

Not to mention Chen Qing, the bandit leader.

As for Li Hu, this guy takes pride in running away and is ashamed of fighting head-on. Even after he beats his opponent, he still says, "You are such a waste! You were thrown off so easily. How can he be a good guy?"

As for Wang Gang, he is honest and upright. If he were to go out into the world, he might even be worthy of being called a hero.

But the key point is that the heroes and good men know Wang Gang, but Wang Gang doesn’t know them.

The girl gritted her teeth and spoke again, "You're five against one. If this gets out, aren't you afraid of being scorned? Let me go, and I promise I won't seek revenge on you."

"I'm not familiar with the boss lady and the others. I just came back halfway to see if there's anything I can get. You won't get anything by killing me."

The five people looked at each other, but none of them reacted.

Chen Qing, Zhao Kai and Li Hu are all veterans of this world. If the roots of the problem are not eradicated, they will grow again when the spring breeze comes. We must not be lenient with such things.

There is no need to say anything about Wang Gang. He just does whatever Jiang Yuan asks him to do. Anyway, he just has to listen to his master.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded. "Yes, it's not right to kill you like this. How about this? I'll let you go this time, and next time we meet, we'll decide our own fate. How about that?"

The girl felt relieved and nodded slightly: "Okay, I will never seek revenge on you, don't worry."

Chen Qing was a little anxious. There were many people in the martial arts world who caused disasters because of their momentary kindness. How could he let this girl go?

But before he could open his mouth, Jiang Yuan had already turned around and walked forward a few steps, as if he was really going to leave, but the next second, Jiang Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at the girl with a smile.

"Sorry to see you again!"

The girl stared blankly with her eyes wide open and her teeth clenched. She was shaking all over, not knowing whether it was from anger or fear.

"Zhao Kai! Why don't you do it now!" With Jiang Yuan's loud shout, Zhao Kai instantly drew out his long knife, and hot blood spilled onto the ground.

Jiang Yuan turned around. No matter what he said or thought, he was a modern man after all, and he was still shocked when he actually saw this scene.

"Make sure to dig a hole and bury the person after he dies!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan took the lead and walked forward. Wang Gang and Li Hu quickly followed, leaving Zhao Kai and Chen Qing to deal with the aftermath.

Half an hour later, the group gathered again in the dense forest and started on their journey again.

Jiang Yuan looked at the map in his hand. It was less than a hundred miles away from Luoyun City.

This is also the destination of Jiang Yuan and his group, Luoyun City, which is the city where the governor of the area where Taiping County is located is located.

"Sir, what do you plan to say when you meet the governor?" Li Hu asked.

Jiang Yuan blinked and chuckled, "Don't worry, when we meet, you can act according to my expression."

At noon, a magnificent city wall finally appeared in front of Jiang Yuan. Unlike the earthen walls in Taiping County and Tai'an County, Luoyun City was built entirely with stone bricks, and the adhesive was made of glutinous rice, wood ash, egg white, etc.

Jiang Yuan was extremely envious in his heart. If he had started out in Luoyun City, he wouldn't have to work so hard to open up trade.

This place is simply a major traffic artery. The seven or eight meter long city gate is wide open, and countless caravans and pedestrians are queuing up to enter the city.

Jiang Yuan was itching to see this and wondered when such a scene would appear in Taiping County.

The group did not queue up. After all, Jiang Yuan was the chief official of a county and a serious eighth-rank official. He could pass through the special passage quickly.

Jiang Yuan didn't even show up. He just asked Li Hu to show him the document from Taiping County and he passed through the city gate easily.

The carriage was driving on the street, and Jiang Yuan and his group went straight to the post station.

It costs money to stay in an inn, but staying in a post station means you can eat and drink for free.

Although I have enough money to bring with me this time, even a little money is still meat. I should save money when I ride a bicycle to the bar and spend money when I should.
