Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

Many officials turned their attention to it.

"Where did this skinny kid come from in the yamen?"

A portly official was puzzled.

"Yeah, he looks so weak, he must have done a lot of bad things, he must be a real scoundrel."

Many officials commented on Li Yuan.

They had seen emaciated commoners, wealthy and bloated officials, diligent and ambitious emperors, and also people like Zhao Siya, full of vigor.

But they had never seen anyone like Li Yuan before...

Despite having fair skin, handsome features, and an air of otherworldly elegance, he somehow gives off a lazy and unproductive vibe.

And inexplicably, it gives people the feeling that the body is very weak.

His demeanor is somewhat contradictory; one look at him and you can tell he's not from the government.

However, his clearly wise and profound gaze naturally convinced the officials.

It was this person who devised the wicked scheme.

Zhao Wanjun became anxious when she saw that Li Yuan had attracted the attention of these officials.

"What are you doing standing up here!"

Li Yuan smiled at her but did not answer the question.

"The thief has turned himself in, and the mastermind is present."

Li Yuan's words were like a large stone, easily breaking the strange ripples in the government office.

Some officials' expressions changed drastically, and they exchanged glances with those around them.

Li Yuan took in the reactions of these people and had already locked onto his target, but he did not directly tell Zhao Wanjun who the mastermind behind the gold thief case was.

Zhao Wanjun still needs to interrogate that thief herself.

He is a deity, and his involvement in this matter is purely to fulfill his promise to the mountain god of Huanshan.

Li Yuan admires Zhao Wanjun's courage and sense of justice, but he won't stay here to help her forever.

Just now, Bald Liu arrived at the yamen with a thin man.

Seeing that Zhao Wanjun was busy clashing with many officials and that the other yamen runners looked hesitant to get involved, Li Yuan had no choice but to take on the task himself.

Comparing his perceptions to those of the night the Zhao family was robbed, Li Yuan was certain that this was the perverted thief himself.

The identity of the perverted thief was unknown to anyone. In fact, he had already disguised himself as an ordinary citizen and received the antidote.

However, he tragically discovered that he seemed to have more than one kind of poison in his body!

With no other options left, the thief could no longer hide.

He kept peering out of the government office, but dared not get close to the crowd.

I'd sneak a peek and leave, but my anxiety would inevitably lead me back...

His unusual behavior and strange actions caught the attention of local bullies like Bald Liu.

So the thief had no choice but to show himself and say that he wanted to turn himself in.

If he reveals the information, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Imprisonment is better than dying directly from poisoning.

This skinny, freakish thief confessed to being the mastermind behind the gold case. After all, he was the only one who carried out the operation, possessed exceptional skills, and knew a great deal of information.

After learning the intelligence, Li Yuan ordered his men to lock up the thief.

As for detoxification?

This pervert stole the underwear of a respectable woman and committed filthy acts.

They even arrogantly threw the soiled items into the government office as a show of defiance!

So many women's reputations have been ruined. Anyway, it's all slow-acting poison, so let's scare him for a few days first!

This was a relatively conservative ancient era, and the theft of a woman's personal clothing could have a huge impact on her reputation!

After completing the operation, Li Yuan finally arrived at the main hall of the government office.

Then, what happened next...

Many officials looked at Li Yuan with cold eyes.

In their eyes, Li Yuan was already a dead man.

That thief was not spared either.

The city magistrate, in his high position, sighed inwardly.

These two are determined to bring down a few officials and give them a warning!

Zhao Wanjun has always been brave and independent, and with Lord Zhao backing her up, she has nothing to fear.

But where did this young, timid man, who appeared out of nowhere, get the courage to confront all the officials?

Since he was involved in this matter, he should know that none of the people sitting comfortably in that high place are good people!

Li Yuan, however, didn't care at all.

He is a mountain god and cannot be killed by mortals.

Li Yuan pulled Zhao Wanjun aside and told her to interrogate the thief directly to get information.

Looking at Li Yuan's faint smile, Zhao Wanjun had a feeling, for some reason, that he was about to leave.

"Are you leaving?" Zhao Wanjun asked, her face showing reluctance.

Although Li Yuan was physically weak and acted lazily.

However, after spending some time together, Zhao Wanjun realized that this person was not a bad person at heart.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "The matter is more than half done now. I need to prepare to collect the treasures."

Hearing this, Zhao Wanjun rolled her eyes: "Once this matter is settled, I will get you the Crimson Blood Jade!"

Li Yuan smiled but did not reply.

The capital city was in an uproar on this day.

A high-ranking official of the second rank was imprisoned by the government and convicted of being the mastermind behind the gold theft case.

The stolen gold was gradually recovered, and the government returned it all to the victims without keeping a single piece.

Zhao Wanjun, a fourth-rank official, intimidated a group of corrupt officials and eventually even arrested a second-rank official.

Some say she is courageous and unafraid of officialdom.

Some say she was upright and just, living up to her reputation as a court official.

But no one knew that Zhao Wanjun was not happy at all.

If she were to handle this case, she might eventually succeed, but it would be done using a clumsy method that would take a tremendous amount of time.

Moreover, the outlook may not be so optimistic.

Using an unexpected and insidious scheme, they forced those corrupt officials who had colluded to temporarily back down and acquiesce to defeat, which was already a perilous situation.

Zhao Wanjun knew that without Li Yuan's help, she would have to put in a lot of effort on this case and might even suffer some hidden losses.

Ironically, Li Yuan stepped forward to take responsibility for this hidden loss.

On the day the second-rank official was arrested and imprisoned, an imperial decree arrived during the day, rewarding Zhao Siya with money and silk.

That very night, Li Yuan was poisoned and murdered.

It was already late at night.

Li Yuan, carrying a plate of sliced ​​meat, knocked on the door of the Zhao residence.

A sleepy-eyed Zhao Wanjun spoke with Li Yuan under the 'warning' gaze of her parents.

She was furious after learning that Li Yuan had been poisoned.

Before the case was even fully closed, Li Yuan had already been attacked by the other party's underhanded tactics!

Are you alright?

Zhao Wanjun said worriedly.

Li Yuan thought for a moment, picked up a slice of meat from the plate, and put it in his mouth.

Zhao Wanjun was shocked: "Didn't you say it was poisonous?!"

She didn't react in time and was unable to stop Li Yuan from 'committing suicide'.

Li Yuan chewed for a moment: "Putting aside the toxicity, this poison, when mixed with beef, actually has a slightly spicy taste."

"Oh, right, you haven't found any chili peppers yet."

Zhao Wanjun looked at Li Yuan, utterly astonished by his appearance, then filled with doubt:

"Is this plate of meat not poisonous?"

As she spoke, she boldly reached out and pinched it.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Yuan quickly stopped her; he dared not let Zhao Wanjun try.

He is a deity, whose physical essence is a mass of immortal energy. Before becoming an immortal, his original form was a stubborn rock.

He is not afraid of human poisons, but Zhao Wanjun is a mortal and cannot be tested.

That's something that could really kill you if you try it.

Seeing Li Yuan's wary look, Zhao Wanjun realized that the sliced ​​meat was indeed poisoned.

"The methods of those who live outside the secular world are indeed formidable."

She gave a soft hum, and a hint of girlishness appeared on her delicate yet spirited face.

Li Yuan laughed heartily: "These mortal tricks can't hurt me. I'm here to tell you that."

“They have already attacked me. From now on, if I never appear in Qian Kingdom again, they will assume I am dead.”

"Then, you pretend to be angry and give them a piece of your mind."

"In this way, the Qian Kingdom should be able to have a period of peace and stability."

Zhao Wanjun's heart skipped a beat: "You...are you already planning to leave?"

She felt a pang of reluctance at such a hasty farewell.

However, it has nothing to do with romantic love.

Li Yuan was a peculiar person. Although he was lazy, disrespectful, and often talked nonsense, he was disliked by others.

But in many things, you can trust them.

Moreover, Zhao Wanjun felt that if Li Yuan's 'special ability' remained in Qian Kingdom, the government offices in Qian Kingdom would find it much easier to catch thieves in the future.

Faced with Zhao Wanjun's reluctance to part, Li Yuan still smiled calmly.

"I plan to travel the world, so I won't stay in one place for long."

"Solving the case has made me the target of the hatred of corrupt officials in the capital of Qian Kingdom."

"Instead of staying here and being bothered by them, I'd rather do you a favor and pretend to be poisoned, then leave."

"You can then use this opportunity to put pressure on them and ensure the stability of your capital for longer."

Zhao Wanjun sighed: "Then, will we ever meet again?"

"Next time you come, I promise I won't lock you up in jail again."

As she spoke, a mischievous smile appeared in her bright eyes.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan burst into laughter.

Zhao Wanjun turned around and went into the mansion, where she took out a bright red and translucent piece of jade.

Crimson Blood Jade is extremely rare in the world.

Li Yuan glanced at it and accepted it without hesitation.

"If you no longer wish to stay in the capital of Qian Kingdom, you may seek out Anshan."

"The journey through life is long, but we'll meet again someday."

Li Yuan smiled, turned around and walked towards the city gate, truly leaving.

Zhao Wanjun sighed deeply again.

The protagonists in these stories all meet in the martial arts world, experience dangers together, work together, and eventually create a legendary tale.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wanjun wasn't the main character, so she couldn't keep that special person and couldn't write a perfect ending.

The world is too big, and some people, once they turn around, may never be seen again in this lifetime.

Sobbing and weeping could be heard from the Zhao residence; it was the sound of Zhao Tianya's heartbreak.

"My precious jade, my jade..."

"Ah, Jade, how can I live without you!"

Huang Shuya patted her husband's back, offering words of comfort.

No matter how much it hurts, you have to accept the promise your precious daughter made.

Zhao Wanjun watched Li Yuan leave, her eyes growing increasingly resolute.

Without Li Yuan's help, she will need to work even harder to deal with those treacherous people behind the scenes and to maintain peace in the area.

But can this extraordinary woman, whose righteousness borders on 'naivety,' truly prevail in the end?

When Li Yuan left, the smile on his face had already faded.

He surveyed the capital city, and wherever his divine sense passed, he found that most officials were corrupt and despicable.

He wouldn't interfere much with the fate of mortals.

I can only hope that the words that hinted at Anshan will become Zhao Wanjun's way out in the future.
