After a massacre.
The execution ground was filled with silence.
Chen Shiyan still had that smiling face.
"Go away and do your own things."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The officials present said respectfully, "Farewell, Your Excellency."
In everyone’s mind, the scene of heads flying up and falling was replayed over and over again.
Bright red blood with a spiritual glow splattered all over the ground.
Then there were large red marks that disappeared, appeared, and disappeared.
Dou Zhengyuan followed Chen Shiyan to the inner court.
"Please sit down."
"Xiaoya, make a pot of spiritual tea."
This maid was trained very well by Fan Chixiu.
It never appears in his eyes when it shouldn't appear.
When needed, it always appears at the first time.
Don't talk too much, don't listen or watch.
There was even a moment when he felt that Fan Chixiu was really conquered by his words?
Then he would deny himself that this Lord Taishui had a chasm in his heart.
After the spiritual tea was brewed, Xiaoya left quietly.
"Sir, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
Chen Shiyan rolled his eyes.
If you don’t know whether you should say it or not, don’t say it.
Always likes to play tricks.
"Go ahead."
"Sir, you are new to Qianyuan County. If you are too murderous, the people below will be scared."
"Zhengyuan, do you know who we are?"
Dou Zhengyuan was a little confused and didn't know how to answer.
"Is he the county magistrate of Qianyuan County?"
Chen Shiyan shook his head.
He stretched out his finger, pointed at him, and then pointed at himself.
"You, me, and even those who were beheaded just now, are all practitioners."
Chen Shiyan stood up, walked to the door, and turned his back to Dou Zhengyuan.
"Secondly, we are the officials."
"People who practice cultivation fight for their lives against heaven and against people, but you are all weak and feeble, and you will never achieve anything."
"This dynasty has put us into a big jar. Gradually, we have forgotten our identities and our blood."
"This identity only makes it easier for you and me to obtain the qualifications for advancement."
Dou Zhengyuan was like being hit by a sledgehammer.
What Lord Chen said is so...treasonous.
But it makes so much sense.
Dou Zhengyuan, who was lost in government affairs, power, and conspiracies, was pulled out.
"grown ups...."
"So, look at our identity clearly and then think about what we want."
"Among so many people, why are there only a few who stand at the top?"
"They firmly believe in their goals, so everything they have is a blessing."
Chen Shiyan was not trying to fool Dou Zhengyuan, he was truly speaking from his heart.
I feel my mind has become clearer.
"Your Excellency's words have awakened me. Thank you, Your Excellency."
"Hahaha, I just said it out of inspiration. You and I are colleagues, why bother saying thank you or not?"
"So how is the Li family's investigation going?"
"Your Excellency, the Li family has been very restrained recently, and the previous incidents have been cleaned up very well. No evidence has been found."
"Well, you continue to investigate. With such an influential family in this county, in the county government, I can't sleep or eat well."
"I understand."
The two chatted until the evening, and during the conversation, Chen Shiyan also learned about all aspects of Qianyuan County.
......
Li family.
A house with a magic array.
"From what you said, this county magistrate has a very murderous nature."
"Yes, master, make plans early." Li Zhiyou said.
"That's impossible. They've taken all the spiritual stones and spiritual objects from us. How can they still attack us? Do they still follow the rules?" Li Zhigui retorted.
After all, all the things were delivered through his hands.
If it's of no use, then isn't it just given away for nothing?
He seemed stupid.
"I guess tomorrow, or even tonight, someone will send a tribute to our county magistrate." Wen Yupei's focus was different from others.
"I'm afraid that County Magistrate Chen has a big appetite." Li Zhiyou was really a little scared.
It's not that he hasn't killed people before. He was involved in such a big thing as the murder of the previous county magistrate.
Beheading is even more common.
But this is the first time I have seen something like this.
People were beheaded while chatting and laughing. It was so cruel and completely different from those county magistrates before.
"Wait a bit, wait for the reaction from the wealthy families, wait for people from the county town to come."
Li Yunyou still felt it was safer and decided to observe further.
"Will anyone come from the county town?" Li Zhiyou asked.
"You will arrange for someone to go to the county capital overnight to report the news. They will definitely come. Those big families value face more than anything else."
After a few more discussions, they left.
Li Yunyou took advantage of the night and walked out of the city.
After leaving the city and walking a long way, he finally boarded the flying boat and turned into a stream of light.
Until it stopped near the lake.
He walked into a valley, opened the formation, and walked in.
"Why, what happened?"
A voice came from a cave.
"It's about the county magistrate."
Li Yunyou recounted what happened during the day.
"Alas, there is not enough time. If it were three to five years later, we would have been able to hide under the surface of Qianyuan County."
"There are too many young people in the family in the government office. It is normal for the county magistrate to be afraid."
"Be prepared, the county magistrate has set his sights on the Li family."
Li Yunyou said, "How about we kill him? This kind of thing, we will do it once, and we will do it twice!"
The sound in the cave was silent for a long time.
"No, we can't lose the big picture for the sake of small things. I spent a lot of effort to suppress the matter, but my good brother has to take the blame."
"If you do this again, people from the capital might come."
"That...."
"Select some outstanding young people from your family and send them out, first to the capital city."
Li Yunyou knew what the old patriarch was thinking.
After responding, he left the place, walked around the lakeshore for a while, and returned to the Li family mansion at almost dawn.
After returning, he took out the family tree from the ancestral hall.
"Uncle, is this really true?"
"My Li family is originally the descendant of the late Nascent Soul cultivators of the ancient immortal sect?"
"That ancestor is also the director of the secret library of Yunfang Immortal Mountain of Liuyun Immortal Sect?"
"Is that map the true location of the secret vault passed down by the ancestor, or was it accidentally embellished by our ancestors?"
"And how did the strong man who came that day know the background of my Li family so easily and even take out the other half of the secret map?"
Some people sat in the ancestral hall in a decadent manner.
"Hey, uncle, are you blinded by the great opportunity? Or are you dazzled by the golden elixir?"
"I have a feeling that if you continue like this, something big is going to happen."
"The Li family cannot be destroyed in my hands."
Li Yunyou lit a spiritual fire on the family tree made of brocade in his hand and burned it to ashes.
With a flip of his right hand, he took out a new family tree.
"Uncle, look, it's very easy to replace it like this."
"So it's better not to believe in something that is unreal."
"Wouldn't it be good to just develop slowly like this?"
"This time, Yunyou will make the decision on his own."
