I heard Zhou Heng's sarcastic words that sounded like sarcasm.

Zhong Xiang's legs immediately went weak and he fell to his knees, then he burst into tears and started to defend his actions.

"Sir! Please forgive me! I am doing this for the sake of the people of Tonghe County!"

See this situation.

Zhou Heng waved his hand without changing his expression.

"Okay, what's the point of crying?

I am here to eliminate evil, not to sweep away gangs and evil.

I don't have the time to care about what you do in Tonghe County. Just keep your black conscience at bay.

Hurry up and continue talking."

"Yes, yes... Thank you, sir. Thank you for your understanding."

Zhong Xiang suddenly stood up in surprise.

When he first saw Zhou Heng, who looked quite young, he had thought that he would be punished because of his youthful temper.

What I never expected was that now, after careful observation, it seemed that Zhou Heng, like these old hands who had been in officialdom for many years, understood the way to blend in with the world and did not rely on his power to get involved in other people's business.

How could he not be extremely surprised to meet such a 'sensible' imperial envoy?

"Have you sent anyone to Mud Snail Village to investigate during the nights these days?"

Just as Zhong Xiang was lost in thought, Zhou Heng spoke out in confusion again.

Hear the words.

Zhong Xiang did not dare to neglect it, and immediately came to his senses and answered carefully:

"Your Excellency, I only sent people to guard around Niluo Village day and night, and did not send anyone into the village to conduct exploration.

The existence of [evil] is not something that mortals like me can resist. I hope you will understand."

"alright."

Zhou Heng sighed helplessly. He knew these people were unreliable, so he waved his hand at them.

"Zhong Zhixian, please arrange for some personnel to take all the death row prisoners and those facing serious criminal charges in the county to Niluo Village before dark.

As for you... before it gets dark, follow me to Niluo Village to investigate. I want to see the details of those bodies."

"Uh...yes..."

Faced with Zhou Heng's order that could not be refused.

Although Zhong Xiang was extremely reluctant to risk his life by going to Niluo Village in person, in order not to anger Zhou Heng, he finally had no choice but to agree.

"In that case, let's go."

Say it.

Zhou Heng jumped back to where he was standing from behind the desk, picked up his big wooden box and put it back on his back, then walked quickly forward and lifted the back of Zhong Xiang's collar, who was still in a daze.

Then, the Yuanli in his body surged and he stepped on the ground with his legs. He was like a god or demon from ancient times, stepping directly on the air and rising higher and higher, and leaving from the sky at a high speed.

"Ah──"

The sound of Zhong Xiang's screams gradually faded away.

The detectives who were still in the lobby of the county government office gradually came to their senses.

Each of them looked up at Zhou Heng's majestic figure flying away in the air, their mouths wide open in surprise, unable to close for a long time.

After a while.

The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another, and the voices of emotion rang out one after another:

"Is that lord from the Qingliang Army a god? He can actually walk on air!"

"Oh my god! Walking directly in the air! What a tremendous power!

Such a powerful figure, in the Qingliang Army, is only a seventh-rank official, just like the county magistrate. Is the Qingliang Army really that terrifying?"

"That's amazing! Let's hurry and fulfill that master's order!"

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and complete the order. Don't offend that master."

"..."

……

After intentionally showing off his strength in front of everyone.

Zhou Heng, who had just stepped out of the county town, landed in the wasteland outside the county town with County Magistrate Zhong.

His previous actions were not entirely for showing off, but mainly to make everyone in the county government have enough respect for him.

In this way, when dealing with [Evil] later, the possibility of those people disobeying orders and hindering him will be greatly reduced.

No matter in which world, bad teammates are always more terrifying than good teammates. He doesn't want to be betrayed by a group of bad teammates for no reason.

After landing on the ground with County Magistrate Zhong, he was still in a state of fear and confusion.

Zhou Heng was too lazy to pay too much attention to this. He immediately used his martial arts skill, Floating Willow Body Technique, and grabbed the opponent's collar and rushed towards Niluo Village like a spring breeze.

……

Nearly a quarter of an hour later.

In front of the entrance of Niluo Village.

Zhou Heng stopped and passed his energy into Zhong Xiang's body through his arm, waking him from his unconscious state.

"This, this... is this Mud Snail Village?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhong Xiang trembled in astonishment.

"Yes, this is Niluo Village. Lord Zhong, please take me to see the bodies of the dead."

Zhou Heng's voice sounded at the right time.

Hear the words.

Zhong Xiang suddenly turned around with a start.

Then, an extremely flattering expression instantly appeared on his face, and he praised her with great affection:

"Your Excellency is truly amazing. You can fly, you can hide, you can do anything. Today..."

"Alright! You can talk about flattery later after you survive this evil-eliminating process. Stop talking nonsense and get on your way."

Zhou Heng interrupted Zhong Xiang's flattery with a sharp voice.

See this.

Zhong Xiang was frightened and shrank his neck immediately. Then he bent his waist slightly and stammered cautiously:

"Sir, I only know where Mr. Liu's body is. As for the others, I, you..."

"Hmph, you're more of a jeopardizer than a helper. What use are you to me?"

"Please forgive me, sir. Among the people I arranged to besiege Niluo Village, there are people who know the location of all the victims' bodies."

"Why don't you go and call him over!"

"Yes, yes, yes, please wait a moment, sir. I will be back soon. I will be back soon."

Having said that, without waiting for Zhou Heng's response, Zhong Xiang immediately ran in the opposite direction of the village as if escaping. His speed was so fast that it was the fastest in his life.

……

Time passes slowly, minute by minute.

Finally, after half a minute, Zhong Xiang came back panting with a man dressed as a legal advisor.

"Tonghe County Chief Clerk Wang Wu greets His Excellency."

"Well, no need to be so polite. Lord Zhong said that you know the location of the bodies of all the people who have encountered evil spirits in Niluo Village?"

"Your Excellency, as the County Magistrate has said, I have recorded the addresses of all those who have died in Niluo Village due to evil spirits."

"Very good, without further ado, take me into the village to find them and lead the way in the order in which they died."

"Yes, sir, please come with me."

Wang Wu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and immediately took the lead and led Zhou Heng and County Magistrate Zhong into Niluo Village.
