There was silence in the hall at first. The fat middle-aged scribe was startled for a moment, and then a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"My lord, my lord, you..."
"Drag him down!" Zhang Zhifu obviously didn't want to say any more and directly waved his hand to drag the obese middle-aged scribe down.
After the obese middle-aged scribe was dragged down like a dog with a frustrated look on his face, Magistrate Zhang stood up, patted his right hand with his left hand, and patted his left hand with his right hand.
Qin Ran bowed.
"I'm sorry, Master Qin, I just failed to discipline you properly, which made Master Qin laugh."
"Come, come, Master Qin, please take a seat!"
After saying that, he raised his head again and shouted to the servant next to him: "Come here, why don't you serve tea to Master Qin!"
Compared with his previous indifference, Magistrate Zhang was extremely enthusiastic at this time.
Being so arrogant at the front and respectful at the back made everyone in the hall find it hard to adapt.
Qin Ran just smiled faintly at Magistrate Zhang's arrogance but didn't take it to heart.
There are no two or three people in the world who have no ambition of power.
People who are truly capable will attract everyone's attention wherever they go!
He has experienced a lot and is used to it.
In the hall, everyone took their seats again. Qin Ran was arranged by the magistrate to sit in the first position on the left side of the hall. The ancients respected people on the left, and the first position on the left was considered a position of respect.
"Master Immortal, where do you practice?" Zhang He asked after sitting down.
"This is not something you should be concerned about. The main reason why I came here today is that I saw you posting a petition for help, hoping to get rid of the evil ghost. What's going on?" Qin Ran said calmly.
Hearing Qin Ran mention this matter, Zhang He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
"I dare not hide it from the Immortal Master. This matter needs to start with my wife..."
Afterwards, Zhang He told the whole story, which was basically similar to what Qin Ran heard in the restaurant.
"This matter, speaking of it, is all my fault. I only feel sorry for my unborn child and his mother. However, this matter is beyond my control now. The resentment between mother and son is too heavy, and it is getting worse.
They are getting deeper and deeper. I am deeply afraid that if one day they leave the government office and cause harm to the people, the people will suffer. Therefore, I beg the immortal master to take action. If I can save them, I am willing to bear the responsibility for other crimes.
!”
At the end of the sentence, Zhang He's face was full of misery and he couldn't stand up.
Looking at Zhang He, Qin Ran didn't know how much of what he said was true or false, but from his expression, Qin Ran did see that Zhang He was really sad.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Ran said, "I will take care of the evil ghost in your office, but I also have something for you to do."
Hearing Qin Ran's words, Zhang He's face suddenly flashed with joy, and then he quickly said, "Immortal Master, please give me your instructions. I will do my best to help the Immortal Master."
"I will tell you when it's done!" Qin Ran said calmly.
"Yes!" Zhang He responded: "Master Immortal, wait a moment, I will send someone to prepare a banquet, let's eat first..."
"No need, I'll go directly to your office and we'll deal with it later." Qin Ran waved his hand and walked out of the hall.
Zhang He also followed. As the magistrate of a county, when Zhang He moved, bodyguards and staff were naturally indispensable. Dozens of people rushed up to him and headed towards the government office in a mighty manner.
Qin Ran was not interested in Zhang He's behavior at all, so he walked to the door of the government office with his hands behind his back.
Zhang He is the prefect of a county, the most powerful person in Linjiang County. He is the so-called magistrate who ruins a family, and the prefect who destroys a family, not to mention a prefect. Zhang He's actions naturally attracted the attention of all the people in the county.
There was an immortal master who wanted to capture the evil ghost, so he followed the team one by one and surrounded them.
Gradually, the number of people increased...
Looking back, I saw that the whole street was full of people.
"You and your people should wait outside!" Standing outside the government office, Qin Ran said lightly to Zhang He, and then walked towards the gate of the government office alone.
"Master Immortal, please be careful!" Zhang He's voice of concern, which he didn't know was true or false, came from behind him.
Qin Ran turned a deaf ear and came to the gate of the government office. At this time, the four doors of the government office had already been closed by the evil ghosts inside. Qin Ran flicked his sleeves and robe, and a gentle and gentle force rushed towards the door.
Eee!
A pair of huge solid wood doors slowly opened, but they made a sour sound. When ordinary people heard it, their whole bodies trembled, and countless goosebumps came out of their bodies, which was filled with gloomy energy.
"Damn it, the sound of opening the door actually makes my skin crawl. It's so weird!"
"Me too, it's so evil."
"Nonsense, is it a joke that this government office is haunted? How many masters have gone in these past few days, and I don't know how many people have fallen into trouble. That young man dared to go in. Is it ignorance or fearlessness?"
The people watching looked at Qin Ran standing in front of the door, and they started talking one after another. Some had pity on their faces, some had disdain on their faces, and some had expressions of joy in others' misfortune.
"quiet!"
At this time, the captain of the guard beside Zhang He turned around, glanced at the people talking behind him, and said coldly, "The prefect has an order, if anyone talks too much and causes trouble, he will be slapped twenty times!"
After hearing the words of the captain of the guard, the people who were watching no longer dared to be presumptuous, and finally fell silent, but some people still had a joking look on their faces.
Qin Ran ignored the people behind him. As soon as the door opened, he felt a sinister wind blowing towards his face.
It was just after noon at this time, and the sun in the sky was still very dazzling, but when blown by this sinister wind, it actually felt like falling into an ice cellar.
Qin Ran frowned, a little confused, logically speaking.
This evil ghost has only been dead for more than a month, and can only survive for two months. No matter how resentful it is, it is impossible for him to have such great magic power!
Unless, after this evil ghost died, he got some adventure.
Thoughts in his mind went back and forth a thousand times, but Qin Ran did not stop. Although this fierce ghost had some cultivation, it was still insignificant to Qin Ran. He walked straight towards the door and walked in.
Bang!!!
There was a muffled sound, and after Qin Ran walked in, the door behind him automatically closed tightly without any wind.
He was immediately cut off from the prying eyes of outsiders.
Qin Ran knew that this was just a little trick of the evil spirit, he curled his lips slightly, and then walked towards the Yamen without haste.
The sunlight from the sky is still pouring into the courtyard, but when it shines inside the government office, the originally blazing temperature seems to have been reduced. The temperature inside the government office and outside the government office differ by at least nearly ten degrees Celsius!
Qin Ran already knew about this situation. In his eyes, which were running his true energy, he could clearly see that the air in the government office was filled with black mist. These mist were mixed with evil spirits.
