The two first went to the county magistrate Liu Sirui and asked him if anyone had come to check the household registration of warriors recently.
But the answer was no.
The warrior's household registration, including some important accounts of Changfeng County, were not kept in the Yamen, but were kept under his personal care. He was sure that others would not have the chance to see these things.
Jiang Chen used the Zhanwang Qi Technique and carefully observed the county magistrate Liu Sirui. He had a dark fortune and was treacherous, but he was indeed a human being, not a ghost or a demon, nor a Taoist.
Jiang Chen took out a Wanli tracking talisman and blended the aura of Chen Jia promoted by Wang Meng into the talisman.
The talisman instantly turned into a yellow crane, circling around the county magistrate, refusing to disperse for a long time, and finally headed straight towards the Chen Mansion.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen closed his spell, and the yellow paper crane spontaneously ignited in mid-air and turned into fly ash!
"Within twelve hours, Chen Jia must have come into contact with County Magistrate Liu Sirui!"
"But Liu Sirui has been ill and resting at home for more than half a month. The last time he saw Chen Jia was seven days ago, when Chen Jia brought people from the Yamen to visit him."
"So either the county magistrate Liu Sirui lied to us, or there is something wrong with Chen Jia, and now I am more convinced that there is something wrong with the county magistrate Chen Jia."
"I remember that Brother Wang, you told me before that yesterday you went to pay homage to the county magistrate. The county magistrate only talked to you for a few words and said some words of encouragement. The time spent was no more than a stick of incense."
"But when you walked out of the Chen family mansion and saw the movement of the sun, you felt that you had stayed in the Chen family residence for much longer than just one stick of incense."
"Later, you said that you might have been a little excited to meet the county magistrate, and you were in a daze, so you miscalculated the time. I don't think you miscalculated the time, but that you were controlled by Chen Jia."
"When he is controlling you, your mind is blank, and naturally you cannot feel the passage of time!"
Jiang Chen explained.
When Wang Meng heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He swallowed and said:
"Then...then what should we do next?"
"Brother Wang, do you dare to bet with me that there is something wrong with Chen Jia!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, he looked at Wang Meng and said with a chuckle.
"dare!"
"Why don't you dare?"
"Without the Taoist priest, I, Wang Meng, would not be where I am today. If the Taoist priest says east, I will never go west!"
Wang Meng said without thinking.
"good!"
"Follow me to beat the drum and complain, I will go to court with the Lord of Changfeng County!"
Jiang Chenhao said angrily.
Now all the clues are slowly pointing to Chen Jia. This time Jiang Chen is 98% sure that the manipulator behind this fake city god must be Chen Jia!
…………
The sun sets in the west.
at dusk.
Changfeng County Government Office.
Jiang Chen stood in front of the drum of injustice, picked up the drumstick, and struck it hard!
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Jiang Chen is now a second-rate warrior and a Taoist cultivator in the health-preserving realm. His strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. Under his hard blows, the sound of the drum of injustice shook the four directions.
Many good people came towards the county government office one after another, but they were all stopped far away from the county government office by Wang Meng and the police officers. However, they could still see the situation of the county government office.
"Isn't this Taoist Master Jiang Chen? Why is he beating the drum to complain about injustice? Who is he trying to sue?"
"It's really Taoist priest Jiang Chen. Taoist priest is so handsome. I heard that Taoist priests are divided into monk Taoist priests and fire dweller Taoist priests. Among them, fire dweller Taoist priests can get married and have children. I don't know which type Taoist priest Jiang Chen belongs to!
"
"It's not your turn either way!"
"Although Taoist Jiang Chen has not been in Changfeng County for a long time, he is a truly capable person and everyone respects him. Who made him suffer so much?"
"No matter who it is, let me know that I must teach him a lesson. Some time ago, my son collided with the evil star and had a high fever. Thanks to the Taoist priest, he broke the evil star and was able to save my son's life!"
"Not bad, Taoist priest Jiang Chen is very effective. My man went hunting in the mountains with the peace amulet given by the Taoist priest, and saved the day several times!"
"..."
Many onlookers outside the Yamen whispered.
The gate of the county government office slowly opened, and two rows of government officials stood neatly on both sides of the lobby, holding killing sticks and looking solemn.
Chen Jia, the county official in official uniform, walked out of the back hall, sat on a chair, held the gavel in his hand, and clapped it hard. There was only a crisp sound, and Chen Jia said in a deep voice:
"Ascending to the Hall!"
"mighty!"
The yamen officials set up the "avoidance" and "quietness" card rituals and began to shout in a rhythmic manner.
Naturally, Jiang Chen would not be intimidated by such a small scene. He walked into the lobby swaggering and slapped his head in front of the county magistrate Chen Jia.
"Who in the hall is beating drums to complain about injustice, and who is being sued for what?"
Chen Jia asked in a deep voice.
"The small path to Chunyang Taoist Temple is Jiang Chen, the Taoist name is Chunyangzi."
"Today I am here to accuse the county lord Chen Jia of practicing evil arts and disregarding human life. Over the past ten years, more than forty warriors in Changfeng County have died unexpectedly!"
"May I ask the county magistrate, do you recognize it or not?"
Jiang Chen stared at Chen Jia with his eyes and said in a deep voice.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked!
"Snapped!"
Chen Jia's face changed drastically when he heard this, and then he became furious. He slapped the crowd hard, stood up, pointed at Jiang Chen and cursed:
"It's crazy to go against the demonic ways, it's a bunch of nonsense!"
"Come here, I'll take down this demon who is deceiving the public with his monstrous words, and he will be burned at the stake tomorrow!"
"Let's see who dares!"
At this moment, Wang Meng came in with a few of his henchmen, looked around at the government officials in the hall, and shocked everyone!
"Wang Meng, you want to rebel!"
Chen Jia looked at Wang Meng and yelled loudly.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty the County. I just want to find out the truth and bring justice to the innocent dead. I have no disrespect to Your Majesty the County!"
Wang Meng said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Okay, okay!"
"It's all the other way around!"
Chen Jia looked at Jiang Chen again, cleared his mind and said:
"Since you said that I practice evil arts and take human life seriously, do you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is, but before I present the evidence, I would like to ask the county magistrate to answer a few questions for me!"
"The curse of unknown old age in Changfeng County had never existed before you took office. Why did the warriors in Changfeng County have problems one after another as soon as you took office?"
"It's nonsense that you don't know your old age. Although I don't practice martial arts, I know that many warriors often have many hardships in their later years due to injuries and diseases. What does this have to do with me?"
"Well, let me ask you again, where did the Changfeng County City God go? Did you kill him?"
"The City God is a yin god. Although I was born as a Jinshi, I have never cultivated literary skills, and I am not a practitioner like you. How can I communicate with the City God? As for where he went, what does it have to do with me?"
"There had never been a fire in the City God's Temple in Changfeng County before you took office. Why did a fire break out in the City God's Temple as soon as you took office? Did you kill the Changfeng City God and then burn down the City God's Temple?"
"That's nonsense. On the day of the fire in the City God's Temple, I had been handling cases at the county government office. All of this was clearly done by the fake City God. What does it have to do with me?"
"Fake City God? What kind of fake City God? I have never said anything about the fake City God. Please tell me, Lord County Lord, what is your relationship with this fake City God?"
"you you……"
After a series of questions and answers, the county magistrate Chen Jia was rendered speechless by Jiang Chen, and after a quick series of questions and answers, he finally revealed his flaw!
"The talisman of destroying evil spirits and killing evil spirits!"
Jiang Chen directly sacrificed a yellow talisman and went straight to the county magistrate Chen Jia.
"The little Taoist is seeking death!"
I saw County Lord Chen Jia wave his hand, and a wisp of extremely sinister energy came through the air, directly smashing Jiang Chen's talisman to pieces!
