When the middle-aged soldier led Qin Ran to the gate of the courtyard, the middle-aged soldier asked Qin Ran to wait for a moment before he walked forward to negotiate with the two soldiers guarding the gate.
In the meantime, the two soldiers guarding the gate didn't believe that Qin Ran was an expert at first, but the middle-aged soldier whispered to them what had just happened.
The two soldiers looked at Qin Ran again, and then they were dubious. With awe in their eyes, they quickly turned around and went in to report.
Qin Ran saw all this with his eyes, minding his own business but standing calmly with his hands behind his hands, without saying a word, waiting for the movement inside.
After waiting outside for a while, the courtyard door opened again. In addition to the soldiers who went in to report, there was also a middle-aged scribe with a lean body and a green beard on his face.
"Is this the Immortal Master you are talking about?"
The middle-aged scribe came out, first looked at Qin Ran, and then looked at the soldier who reported the news with a stern expression.
Thinking about these middle-aged scribes, all immortal masters are cultivators of immortality. Even the weakest people are slightly stronger than ordinary people like them, so they naturally look like immortals.
Moreover, there have been many people who came to reveal the list in the past few days. Although in the end, none of them were able to deal with the evil ghost behind the government office, they all had the demeanor of a master. However, the man in front of him looked like a rich young man, how could he?
Looks like a master who can conquer demons?
Isn't this just entertaining them?
Or do you think the prefect is easy to bully?
"Mr. Li, this immortal master was brought by Li San. Li San, come here quickly and tell Mr. Li what's going on?" The soldier who reported the report heard the middle-aged scribe's questioning and quickly called Qin Ran, who was on the side.
Li San is here.
Mr. Li glanced at the frightened Li San and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Qin Ran who seemed to have nothing to do with him. A gleam flashed in his eyes and he walked over and held his hands in his hands.
"I have invited this immortal master. My surname is Li, and I am a disciple of the prefect. I wonder what the immortal master's name is?"
He turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged scribe named Li. He felt that this middle-aged scribe was quite smart. He looked very majestic to his subordinates just now, but when facing himself, he was polite and arrogant.
"My surname is Qin!"
"It turns out to be Master Qin. Where can I invite Master Qin? The prefect has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time."
No matter whether the man in front of him was really powerful or not, Mr. Li decided to invite Qin Ran in first. After all, whether it was true or not, the magistrate could judge it. He didn't have to take the risk of offending the immortal master to do something.
A thankless job.
Qin Ran nodded, and then followed the middle-aged scribe named Li and walked into the courtyard.
Step by step inside the courtyard, there are pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, gardens and ponds. In particular, there are hundreds of soldiers in the courtyard, ready to go, with knives at the ready, standing guard and patrolling. The guards are very tight, and a murderous atmosphere rushes towards you.
The middle-aged scribe named Li walked beside Qin Ran. From the moment he walked in, the middle-aged scribe Li secretly observed Qin Ran's expression.
These days, many people come to reveal the results. However, when these people come into the courtyard, they are all surprised by the knife-wielding soldiers in the courtyard. Some scammers are even so frightened that their legs tremble and they lose their skills directly.
The true nature was revealed.
But according to what the middle-aged scholar surnamed Li observed, Qin Ran's expression remained unchanged all the way here, as if the scene in front of him was like floating clouds, and he had a somewhat noble demeanor.
In response, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you're not a charlatan who's here to cheat you out of food and drink, that's fine.
Under the leadership of a middle-aged scribe named Li, Qin Ran came to a hall and saw several people sitting in the hall. One of them was white and fat. He should have a rosy face, but now his face turned slightly
A pale, middle-aged man with a haggard look on his face was sitting at the head of the table wearing a red official uniform.
After seeing the middle-aged scribe named Li leading someone in, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look up.
However, their expressions were all mute.
too young!
"Sir, this is Master Qin who is here to unveil the list this time!"
The middle-aged scholar surnamed Li first bowed his hands to the middle-aged man in the first seat and said in return, then turned to Qin Ran and said, "Master Qin, this is our prefect of Linjiang County, Mr. Zhang!"
"I've met Mr. Zhang!"
Qin Ran glanced at the people in the hall and casually raised his hands to the people in front of him.
Zhang He has been secretly sizing up Qin Ran since he first met him, but this sizing made him feel disappointed.
In the few days since the announcement of the list, Magistrate Zhang has met many so-called immortal masters. These people have the spirit of immortality, there are eminent monks and virtuous people, and of course there are also some people who want to cheat.
No matter how he looked at it, Qin Ran didn't look like a moral person, but more like a cheater.
"How dare you, after meeting the magistrate, you are so careless and contemptuous of his authority?" At this time, suddenly a fat middle-aged scribe with sinister eyebrows stood up next to him and said to Qin Ran sternly.
shouted.
The obese middle-aged scribe had been observing Magistrate Zhang's expression just now. When he saw the look of disappointment on Magistrate Zhang's face, he stood up and eagerly tried to win credit and flatter him.
Hearing the fat middle-aged scribe's fierce shouting, several people sitting in the hall immediately looked at Qin Ran, their eyes full of malice. At the same time, they glanced at the fat middle-aged scribe, feeling full of contempt in their hearts, not wanting to please the prefect like this.
Your Excellency's opportunity was actually snatched away by this obese middle-aged scribe.
The expressions of everyone in the hall could not escape Qin Ran's eyes.
Looking at the fat middle-aged scribe with a righteous expression, Qin Ran suddenly snorted coldly.
"snort!"
Suddenly there was an invisible wave in the air.
This cold snort sounded like nothing to those nearby, but when the sound entered the ears of the obese middle-aged scribe, it was like thunder exploding. The expression of the obese middle-aged scribe who was originally shouting changed, and his body could not help but
He "kicked" backwards, knocking over the chair behind him, and then with a "bang" he fell to the ground.
"..."
Seeing the obese middle-aged scribe suddenly fell to the ground, his face was pale, and there was a trace of blood flowing out of his ears. Everyone in the hall looked at Qin Ran who was standing there in horror, and their bodies shrank back involuntarily.
.
"you you……"
The obese middle-aged scribe sat on the ground, his eyes bulging, and he looked at Qin Ran with a look of horror.
Peng!
At this time, Zhang He, who was sitting at the head of the hall, suddenly slammed the table and shouted loudly outside the hall.
"Be bold, come here!"
"Yes, this is how we should catch this liar!!!"
Just when everyone thought Zhang He was going to let someone capture Qin Ran, and the fat middle-aged scribe even showed a sinister look on his face, they heard Zhang He pointing at the fat middle-aged scholar at the soldiers who came in. scribe.
"Drag him down and put him in the woodshed for now!"
