The moment Xiangyang made his move, the county magistrate flew out with incredible speed before the officials could react.
Except for the two personal servants brought by the county magistrate who quickly reacted to help the county magistrate, all other officials were stunned on the spot. Only at this moment did they realize that the county magistrate actually knew martial arts!
The Ling family father and daughter were also dumbfounded.
The county magistrate is quite skilled, but facing Xiang Yang, who was one in a million, he still has difficulty fighting.
The county magistrate and his two companions were obviously hesitant in order to conceal their abilities.
When Xiang Yang was alone against three of them, the three of them were about to bite the poison hidden in their back teeth. However, Xiang Yang was an old hand, and he quickly and neatly removed the jaws of the three of them.
From the beginning to the end, Xiangyang, who was well prepared, caught them off guard!
Baili Feiyue went to the county magistrate and the other two and said, "Let me see who is pretending to be a Dajing official and causing trouble for the people here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly tore off the human skin mask on the county magistrate's face!
In an instant, a young man's face with deep features appeared!
Who is this? This is not the county magistrate!
The officers stared at the county magistrate's face in horror, holding their breath.
Baili Feiyue sneered, "Yinhuan, take off the fake skin on those two people's faces." She was not wrong, this man was indeed in disguise!
"Yes, master." Soon, the human skin masks on the faces of the two yamen runners who were subdued by Xiangyang were also removed.
The same two unfamiliar faces were exposed in front of the officers.
The stunned officers gasped again.
Baili Feiyue glanced at the three people's faces and said, "They don't look like they are from Dajing. But if I ask them this, they will definitely not tell me."
Changsun Wuji sneered, "It doesn't matter whether they say it or not. Xiangyang, let the people outside act according to the plan."
"Yes, my Lord."
Xiangyang walked into the yard and a special signal arrow was launched into the sky.
Not long after, another county magistrate in official robes appeared in front of everyone with two teams of yamen runners.
After those people appeared, they all saluted to Changsun Wuji, "My Lord."
The officers present almost fell down.
Because they saw that the yamen runners behind this suddenly appeared "county magistrate" looked exactly like them!
Everyone can find the corresponding "self" that is exactly the same as themselves!
Even though they didn't know exactly what was going on, they had a very bad feeling.
They all knelt down and kowtowed to Changsun Wuji, "Sir, this has nothing to do with us. We are here for this person..."
They pointed at the captured fake county magistrate angrily, "Working under him, he extorts money from the people and brings disaster to the villagers. If we don't go along with him, we'll lose our job..."
"Yes, sir. We have many elders and children in our family. We dare not lose our job easily... In addition, some brothers did not want to go along with the corrupt officials. As a result, they disappeared without a sound after leaving the county government. There is no news about them so far! I am afraid that they have been killed by this man! We are afraid and dare not disobey his orders..."
No matter what they said, they were quickly controlled and temporarily thrown into another room not far away.
Changsun Wuji's subordinates are really good at interrogation and are truly professionals.
Half an hour later, the following information was pried out from the fake county magistrate and others who were not afraid of death.
The original county magistrate was quietly killed and replaced by the fake county magistrate and others more than a year ago.
Once the fake county magistrate took office, his work style changed drastically. All those people in the county government who flattered the county magistrate and followed him in everything survived.
Those who were not happy with the fake county magistrate's sudden change, and who either directly or indirectly advised him or tried to find out the reason, either left their posts and disappeared, or did not disappear, but were actually killed by the fake county magistrate's people and replaced by someone else in disguise.
The fake county magistrate was indeed not from Dajing, but a spy from a small country in the northwest. This small country had no other abilities, but the spy it trained was very skilled and had infiltrated many countries.
This small country is very self-aware, usually keeping to itself and not getting involved in anything. Just like this year, many times when many countries gathered together to plan big things, this small country never participated. Its presence is very low, so other countries hardly pay attention to this small country.
But this small country is a very ambitious country. For hundreds of years, it has focused on cultivating spies to cause trouble in other countries.
Then secretly accumulate strength.
He only hopes that one day, when other major powers around the world are in chaos, he can find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and dominate the world!
Therefore, the greed and corruption of the fake county magistrate is just a strategy for them to cause trouble in other countries.
All the channels and people that Lingcheng could use to make suggestions to the capital were infiltrated by these secret agents. Even Changsun Wuji's spies in Lingcheng were attacked by the secret agents when they found the county magistrate was abnormal and went to investigate.
This is why Lingcheng became like this without the capital being aware of it.
Now, the spies who had infiltrated various parts of Lingcheng have not been completely found out. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Changsun Wuji also replaced the previous fake county magistrate with a "fake county magistrate" without making a fuss.
Next, these subordinates will naturally be responsible for eliminating all the spies in Lingcheng and temporarily maintaining the normal operation of Lingcheng County Government.
These people are accustomed to disguising themselves as others and living their lives in disguising themselves as others. This is very easy for them.
By the time they have cleaned up Lingcheng, the new county magistrate sent by the court will have arrived.
After coming out of the county government office, Ling Yu and his daughter and others were still a little dazed.
Ling Yu wanted to speak several times, and finally said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I wronged you."
"It's not a wrong thing to blame. Although it was a spy from another country who interfered, the fact that it was not discovered in time was also due to the lack of supervision ability of the imperial court."
Baili Feiyue didn’t know much about state affairs and national affairs, but now he felt more and more that it was very difficult to govern a country well.
It is absolutely impossible to cover everything!
Seeing that Ling Yu still looked like he was blaming her, Baili Feiyue curved her eyes and placed her index finger lightly on her lips, making a hushing gesture.
"Those 'things' haven't all been found yet, Master Ling and Miss Ling, please keep it secret for the time being~"
Master Ling and Ling Yu both promised solemnly, "Don't worry, Princess. We know what to do and what to say."
"Thank you for your concern." Baili Feiyue stopped, "I will take you here. See you again if we are lucky enough."
She didn't want to go for dinner as she and Changsun Wuji had to follow up on the situation here.
Ling Yong and Ling Yu looked at her silently.
"What?" Baili Feiyue asked with some confusion.
"Princess, take care!"
"Take care of yourself."
After parting ways, Ling Yong and Ling Yu still couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Dad, the princess and the others have also disguised themselves." According to rumors, the Prince Regent and his princess, Miss Ling San, both have deity-like appearances.
Ling Yong nodded affirmatively.
"Dad, how did you recognize the princess in the first place?"
"I'm just guessing. Lingcheng is going to hold a martial arts conference recently, you should have heard about it. And the treasure map related to the princess's daughter is also involved. They suddenly helped us today, and I don't know why, but I suddenly thought in my mind, could this girl be the regent princess..."
Ling Yu felt a little regretful, "I don't know what they really look like."
"Ayu, even though the princess and I both have the same name, Ling, we are not from the same world."
"I know dad, I won't bother the princess."
Ling Yong nodded, "That's good. Although there are many rumors about the Regent, after meeting him today, I know that he is not someone who completely disregards the lives of the people. From now on, life will be more hopeful. We just need to pray for them silently in our hearts."
"Okay, I got it, Dad. I will also work hard to develop our Ling family martial arts school!" There was light in Ling Yu's eyes.
Ling Yong smiled lovingly, "Dad believes in you."
Because there is hope for Lingcheng!
He also figured out why the people in Lingcheng had been targeting their martial arts school more and more in the past year. He was afraid that it was also the fake county magistrate who secretly instigated it!
The purpose was probably to create unpleasant public opinion. For example, it was said that General Ling had betrayed his ancestors and did not care about his cousin. Or it was said that the general's cousin was bullied and other such words were used to shake the morale of the army.
…
On the other side, when Baili Feiyue turned around and went in to see Changsun Wuji, Xiang Yang had just finished reporting a new round of information.
"How's the progress?" Baili Feiyue asked.
"Just leave everything to them." Changsun Wuji pushed the food that had just been specially delivered to Baili Feiyue, "Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm hungry." Baili Feiyue couldn't stop eating, "When did you arrange all this?"
"When I first came to Lingcheng."
Baili Feiyue widened her eyes, so early!
Seeing her like this, Changsun Wuji chuckled, stroked the oil stains on the corners of her lips, and explained lazily, "The county magistrate of Lingcheng is my man. I personally appointed him here three years ago."
Baili Feiyue understood.
Because he was his man, as soon as he set foot on the land of Lingcheng and noticed the abnormality of Lingcheng, Changsun Wuji immediately realized that something was wrong.
Because he believed that those who accepted their fate would never govern Lingcheng into this state!
Of course, it was also because the original county magistrate was Changsun Wuji's man and he trusted the original county magistrate too much. So when the fake county magistrate used the original county magistrate's identity to deceive the public, Changsun Wuji did not discover it in time!
Thinking of this, another idea suddenly popped up in Baili Feiyue's mind.
"Changsun Wuji, you said that the martial arts conference was held in Lingcheng, and it involved a treasure map related to Jiuer. Could it be that Master discovered that something was wrong with the Lingcheng County Magistrate and deliberately lured Jiuer or us here..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Changsun Wuji's meaningful look, and Baili Feiyue stopped eating, put down her chopsticks, and sat on the man's thighs like a charming and seductive girl in a brothel, wrapping her soft arms around his neck.
He smiled and kissed the person's thin lips.
Changsun Wuji chuckled, stroked the back of her head, and leaned over to touch her lips.
Baili Feiyue was secretly proud in her heart. Hum, although it is very old-fashioned, but acting like a spoiled child like this always works. It is very useful~
…
After Baili Feiyue, Changsun Wuji and others left the county government office silently, it was dark.
After turning the corner of a house not far in front of the county government office, the cute little girl cried out, "We are late."
Ximo looked at the situation at the county government office not far away and asked, "Why do you say that, sir?"
"Ximo, your eyesight isn't working well anymore. Didn't you see that those runners outside the county government office were all in disguise?"
She sniffed with her little nose, "Although they have changed their appearance, I can still smell them from such a distance. People with such a terrible smell of blood and murderous aura can only be my biological father's people~"
Ximo: "..." He didn't smell any blood. Even with his keen perception, he didn't detect the murderous aura from those people. It was just the aura that ordinary yamen runners should have, without any sense of disobedience.
But he knew that what his young master said was true.
I felt a chill in my heart.
How come the Master, who knows no martial arts and even has a weak constitution, has such sharp six senses?
It's too evil, okay!
"My Lord, are you saying that Regent Prince Dajing has resolved the issue of the county government?" They had just discovered that there might be some problems with the county government.
Jiuer nodded, "Yeah."
"Let's go, Ximo, let's go to the place where the martial arts conference is held. Ye Lin sent me a message saying that he has almost found out everything there."
