Duan Zhou is dead, and the issues in Anning County have been basically resolved.
Ye Xin returned to the county government office and found Magistrate Zheng still lying in bed. "Magistrate Zheng, the murderer has been found. You can declare this case closed."
The sleepy County Magistrate Zheng awoke with a start and jumped out of bed. "My Immortal, are you serious? Has that evil creature really been dealt with?"
As soon as the words came out, County Magistrate Zheng realized that he had spoken out of turn. He actually dared to question the immortal in public. Didn't he want to live anymore?
He looked at Ye Xin nervously, and only felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing wrong with her.
"It is my fault for speaking out of turn. Please punish me, Immortal."
Regardless of whether the immortal was angry or not, County Magistrate Zheng still bowed respectfully to Ye Xin.
"No problem." Ye Xin glanced at County Magistrate Zheng, picked a stool and sat down, "Could you please tell me who summoned those two people this morning?"
County Magistrate Zheng was stunned. What did the immortal mean by this? Was she not with the two immortals from this morning?
He was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Ye Xin and said, "Your Excellency, those two immortals were external aids invited by my brother. I'm not sure how they were invited."
Ye Xin raised his eyebrows. Those two people were actually invited foreign aid. Could this place be the territory under the jurisdiction of the spiritual world?
"Okay, I understand. Is that your brother outside?" She tilted her head and asked County Magistrate Zheng to look outside.
County Magistrate Zheng looked in the direction he was going and saw the steward just walking in at the courtyard gate. He was walking hurriedly in front, followed by the person he mentioned, Brother Zhao.
When he saw who it was, his face suddenly showed excitement. He turned around to look at Ye Xin and said apologetically, "Immortal, that is my elder brother. I hope you will forgive me. I will go to greet him right away."
Ye Xin nodded, leaned lazily in the chair and picked up a book.
After obtaining the immortal's consent, County Magistrate Zheng hurriedly tidied his clothes and went out to greet the distinguished guest with a beaming face.
The housekeeper saw the master coming out and hurried forward, "Master, the prefect and his wife are here."
County Magistrate Zheng pushed away the steward's hand and walked straight towards Prefect Zhao.
He walked up to the people, laughed loudly, and hugged Prefect Zhao. "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, thanks to your help, the case in Anning County has finally been solved."
Before Magistrate Zhao could recover from Magistrate Zheng's enthusiasm, he heard that the case had been solved. He immediately pulled the man aside and stared at Magistrate Zheng. "Brother Zheng, are you serious? Has the evil beast been apprehended?"
"Of course, and the immortal is in the house now. He just mentioned Brother Zhao. Go in and take a look."
County Magistrate Zheng was pulling his men into the house. Prefect Zhao and his wife looked at each other and hurriedly straightened their clothes to avoid leaving a bad impression on the immortal.
The county magistrate's wife, who arrived later, also walked into the room gracefully, served by maids and servants.
Ye Xin finished reading the book with a lingering feeling and pointed at the stools towards the four people who had just entered.
Magistrate Zhao and his companions understood what he meant and quickly sat down.
Ye Xin put down the book in his hand and looked at the Brother Zhao mentioned by County Magistrate Zheng.
Magistrate Zhao is thirty-two years old this year. Unlike the traditional well-mannered scholars, he is a burly and sturdy man.
His wife, on the other hand, is a petite woman. It's hard not to think of the two of them as a beauty in front of the beast.
The corners of Ye Xin's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that the contrast between County Magistrate Zheng and his brother Zhao was so great.
One is as thin as a chicken, and the other is as strong as a tree.
The two people who seem to have nothing in common actually have such a good relationship in private.
Magistrate Zhao sat on the stool for a long time without daring to speak. Out of the corner of his eye he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the immortal staring at him, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
Why was the immortal staring at him? Could it be that some grains of rice from lunch had gotten stuck to his beard? Madam didn't say anything just now!
Prefect Zhao was so anxious that he scratched his head, not knowing what the immortal was looking at, and he couldn't turn around to ask his wife to help him.
Ye Xin had sized up Prefect Zhao up enough, so he retracted his gaze and coughed lightly, "Prefect Zhao, I heard from County Magistrate Zheng that you hired someone to help. I wonder where you found them?"
The immortal spoke so kindly to Magistrate Zhao, and he felt a little uneasy. "Your Excellency, my wife and I once met the immortal by chance. Later, we heard about the incident in Anning County, so we sought out the ancestor of Qingju Temple. We were able to invite the immortal thanks to his help."
"I see! I understand."
Ye Xin said that, she had clearly seen before that there was no elemental fluctuation here, so how come two Qingtian Sect disciples suddenly appeared, and there was this group too.
She glanced at the people on the stools, her chest trembling slightly as she chuckled and said, "The murderer is already dead. Just close this case as an ordinary murder to avoid causing panic among the people of Anning County."
County Magistrate Zheng and Prefect Zhao stood up and said respectfully, "Yes, we will follow the immortal's instructions."
After understanding the situation, Ye Xin stood up and walked out. "Since that's the case, I'll go back and report."
"Farewell, Immortal."
Magistrate Zheng and his two brothers, along with their wives, walked into the yard and watched the immortal leave.
Ye Xin paused as he took out the flying carpet and looked up with a sharp look.
County Magistrate Zheng and his men were confused and looked up at the sky following her movements.
Suddenly, two black spots appeared in the sky above their heads. They were getting closer and closer and then falling towards the yard.
A gourd landed beside Ye Xin, and two figures jumped out from it.
County Magistrate Zheng's expression changed, and he immediately pulled Prefect Zhao forward to pay his respects, "This humble servant respectfully welcomes the Immortal."
Prefect Zhao's hand paused as he was about to salute, and he looked at County Magistrate Zheng with questioning eyes, "Brother, why are there two more immortals? When did you ask for external help?"
County Magistrate Zheng was in great pain, but he pretended not to see the look from Prefect Zhao.
The woman in green and the man in white glanced at the people in the yard. When they saw Ye Xin's figure, their expressions changed at the same time.
The man in white was about to say something when the woman in green pulled him back imperceptibly. He had no choice but to stop and withdraw his probing gaze.
The woman in green also withdrew her hidden gaze and spoke calmly to County Magistrate Zheng and the others, "County Magistrate Zheng, we have obtained clues about the murderer and will bring him to justice soon. You can rest assured."
County Magistrate Zheng looked embarrassed after hearing this. How should he tell the immortal that the murderer had been dealt with by another immortal?
The woman in green noticed that County Magistrate Zheng looked strange and thought he had something to hide. "County Magistrate Zheng, if you have anything to say, just say it."
The immortal had already said so, and it would be bad for County Magistrate Zheng to be shy, so he walked up to the woman in green and glanced at Ye Xin standing beside him.
"Immortal, the murderer has been dealt with by the immortal next to us. She just came to inform us of this matter."
"What, it's been solved?"
