Behind Chu Xuan was a group of secret guards, who quickly knocked down the several killers surrounding Lu Yanluo and tied them up like a whirlwind.

Lu Yanluo looked at Chu Xuan in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Chu Xuan dismounted and walked to Lu Yanluo's side: "Are you okay?" Seeing Lu Yanluo shook her head, Chu Xuan was relieved and explained: "I was on my way to check the dam when I was attacked by a group of people. After I dealt with them, I guessed that these people must be coming for you and me. I was worried, so I rushed over."

Lu Yanluo smiled brightly, her heart filled with warmth, and then asked, "Who are these people?"

Chu Xuan's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this. He turned sideways and looked at the captured killer: "If I'm not mistaken, these people should be sent by Fang Kong to silence us. The news that we went to Jinglan County has been exposed."

Lu Yanluo was a little surprised.

[How could Fang Kong be so bold that he not only concealed the disaster but also secretly kept secret guards to work for him.]

Chu Xuan had no feelings about this, he was ordered to come here to provide disaster relief, anyone who was blind and dared to block his way should be prepared to be killed.

"Let's go to the Jinglan County Government Office. I want to meet him in person! Let's see if he is really so bold!" There was ruthlessness in Chu Xuan's eyes.

Protected by the secret guards, Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan returned to Jinglan County along the original route, and took away the little girl that Lu Yanluo had met before.

The study room of Jinglan County Government Office.

Fang Kong sat leisurely behind his desk waiting for news.

Fang Kong is fifty-three years old this year, with gray beard, but he is still in good health.

Originally, Jinglan County was his world. The emperor was far away and he was living a peaceful life as a local emperor here. Unexpectedly, a flood caused a disaster.

All the dirty things he had done in secret for many years were about to be laid out in front of everyone for judgment. How could he bear it?

He also wanted to retire peacefully and not leave his name in history, but he couldn't spend the rest of his life in prison, so he didn't want to make this disaster public from the beginning.

But at this time there are always two blind people who come here to make him unhappy.

Fang Kong received the news today when Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo had just set foot in Jinglan County. It was too conspicuous that two strangers suddenly appeared in Jinglan County at this time, forcing Fang Kong to be careful.

After sending people to monitor secretly for half a day, he found that these two people were no simple matter. He heard that the court sent Night King to Pingzhou in person to provide disaster relief, and guessed that these two people must be related to Night King. In this case, in order to keep the secret, he could only kill these two nosy people.

A loud thunderclap broke the silence in the room. Fang Kong was shocked. He picked up the teacup and took a sip to calm himself. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open by a servant from the outside. A gust of wind blew in through the open door, blowing the rice paper on the table into all directions.

Fang Kong said sullenly, "What are you doing? You are so flustered, what a mess!"

"My lord!" The servant looked flustered, with beads of sweat on his forehead. "My lord, this is bad. His Royal Highness the Night King has brought people to the government office. They are in the main hall right now and want to see you! Come with me to welcome him!"

Fang Kong was in a daze for a moment, and the teacup in his hand, which he had not yet put down, fell to the ground with a bang and broke into pieces.

"Have the assassins I sent to hunt down those two people come back?" Fang Kong asked absentmindedly.

The servant lowered his head: "Not yet... not yet back..."

Fang Kong raised his head and exhaled slowly: "It's okay, don't panic. In the territory of Jinglan County, if they want to touch me, they have to think twice, even if it's the Night King!"

He knew very well why the Night King came, but he had worked hard in Jinglan County for many years and had already built up his own power. This was the reason why he dared to act in a hypocritical manner.

"Send someone to Lord Liu He's house and tell him that the wolf is coming."

After he finished speaking, Fang Kong straightened his official uniform, adjusted his official hat, and walked towards the main hall.

In the government hall, Chu Xuan sat on the armchair with a blank expression on his face.

A group of men in black were kneeling below. They were the killers sent by Fang Kong to hunt down Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo. Standing beside them was the little girl who was rescued by Lu Yanluo. Her eyes were evasive, and it could be seen that she was uncomfortable here.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo pulled the person to her side, took out a piece of cake from her arms and gave it to her, asking her to eat quietly.

When Fang Kong came out, Chu Xuan was already getting a little impatient and looked over with a cold face.

"Master Fang is so arrogant that even I can't get him to come to me!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Kong quickly apologized with a smile, walked quickly to Chu Xuan and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am sorry to hear you say this! I am really at work, I hope Your Majesty will not take it personally."

Chu Xuan was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with him. He got straight to the point and pointed at the assassins kneeling on the ground, saying, "Master Fang, you should be familiar with these people, right?"

Fang Kong looked in the direction Chu Xuan pointed, and after a few breaths, he shook his head and said in confusion: "Who are these people? Please forgive my ignorance, I have never seen these people before, I hope Your Majesty can tell me."

Chu Xuan snorted coldly: "You haven't seen it? Isn't this the assassin sent by Lord Fang to kill people to silence them? Lord Fang forgot? Although I know that we can't hide the fact that we came to Jinglan County from you, I really didn't expect that you would be so bold as to kill people to silence them!"

"Fang Kong!" Chu Xuan shouted, "Do you admit your guilt?"

"I don't know." Fang Kong was fearless.

Chu simply listed his crimes one by one: "You secretly embezzled the money allocated by the court every year to repair the dam, causing the dam to fall into disrepair over the years, and eventually caused a disaster. Then you did not repent and concealed the disaster, causing the innocent people in Jinglan County to die, and the surrounding villages and towns were left with nine out of ten houses. Fang Kong, what else do you have to say!"

Fang Kong's face turned pale. He thought he had done a perfect job in embezzling the money for repairs. How could the Night King know about it!

"Your humble servant... Your humble servant is innocent! There is indeed an epidemic in Jinglan County, but it came from Fengtian County, not from this county. I have no intention of concealing it. The report has been written and will be sent to the capital soon. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Fang Kong looked at the servant on the side and gave him a secret look.

The servant understood what he meant, and quietly stepped forward, took out a brocade box from his arms, placed it in front of Chu Xuan, and slowly opened it.

"Your Highness has come all the way from the capital, and you must have worked hard on the way. This is a small gift from our master. Please accept it."

Chu Xuan lowered his eyelids and glanced at the box. There were several layers of gold inside. At a rough glance, there were nearly two thousand taels of gold.

"What does Lord Fang mean?"
