Liu Hanyan was stopped, and the officer's attitude was very bad.
It’s no wonder that the police officers were there. Something big happened last night. Evil spirits broke into the county government office. The county magistrate was so frightened that he ran away. People in the entire Menling County were in panic, so they had to be careful.
Liu Hanyan looked similar to the legendary evil ghost accomplice, so the police officer naturally wanted to investigate him.
"I'm looking for your county magistrate."
Liu Hanyan took out the token. The officer was frightened when he saw that the token was made of gold and had the word "King Wu" written on it.
There was only one King Wu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that was Long Chen.
"My lady, please wait a moment. I will report you now."
The servant didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't dare to put it in, so he immediately ran in to report it.
Houya.
The county magistrate Han Rong was furious, and the county magistrate Meng Chang and the arrester were scolded bloody.
"You bastards, the evil spirit appeared last night and the county was still there, but you all ran away!"
"On weekdays, no one can be trusted to swear allegiance to this county, but no one can be trusted in a life-or-death situation!"
"What use do you have, what use do you have, you bunch of bastards!"
Han Rong usually values face and rarely curses like this. This time he couldn't bear it anymore and felt betrayed by his subordinates.
The county magistrate Meng Chang didn't say anything, but the headman said: "Sir, last night Taoist Li said he could slay demons. Who knew his disciple was eaten? He couldn't do anything. He ran away first, and we were also frightened."
What happened last night was really scary. Everyone was stunned. It was the first time they saw evil spirits eating people. They would be fools not to run away.
The arrester explained, and Han Rong became even more angry. He stood up and cursed: "You claim to be from a martial arts family, but you are the fastest runner."
The head catcher didn't dare to say anything anymore, but in fact his family's ancestral martial art was to run fast.
It is usually useful for catching thieves, and Han Rong even praised him for his ability to catch heads with magic.
Therefore, if you run fast when catching a thief, you will of course run faster when you are in danger.
Fortunately, they were at odds with each other at that time, and the evil spirits and demons started fighting, otherwise the county would not be safe.
The county magistrate and the catcher ran very fast, and did not know what happened next. They only heard from the county magistrate that the evil spirit had accomplices, and the two sides started fighting over the competition for cannibalism.
While he was scolding, a government servant ran in and shouted: "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, there is a woman outside holding the King Wu's token, and she wants to come in to see the Magistrate."
When the yamen servant ran in, Han Rong was about to reprimand him, but when he heard King Wu's token, he was so frightened that he peeed and asked quickly: "What woman? Did you see clearly that it was King Wu's token?"
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Long Chen was more terrifying than the Empress.
The empress is the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and is supreme, but Long Chen can kill people and is even more terrifying.
The officer said: "You read that right, it's King Wu's token."
Han Rong ran out quickly, and the county magistrate Meng Chang also ran out.
King Wu's token appears, and if they don't greet it, they may be accused and beheaded.
When they arrived at the door, the people outside pointed at Liu Hanyan. Some said she was an accomplice of the evil spirits. The government officials drove the people away with spears to prevent them from talking nonsense.
Han Rong ran to the door, and the Yamen servant immediately stepped aside, and Liu Hanyan appeared in front of him.
The moment he saw Liu Hanyan, Han Rong was stunned.
Although he didn't see it clearly last night, this look convinced him that the woman in front of him was the one who fought with the evil ghost last night.
"you"
Han Rong didn't know what to say.
Liu Hanyan walked straight over and said, "County Magistrate Han, come with me. I have something to ask you."
It stands to reason that Liu Hanyan is just the head of a Jianghu sect and cannot talk to Han Rong like this.
But with Long Chen's connections, and county magistrates like Han Rong, Liu Hanyan really doesn't need to take them seriously.
Liu Hanyan walked in, but Han Rong was still stunned. County Magistrate Meng Chang reminded: "My lord?"
Han Rong reacted and immediately followed him inside.
The people at the door didn't know what was going on and started talking again:
"Isn't this the evil spirit's accomplice? How did he get into the county government office?"
"There must be a mistake. How could the evil ghost's accomplices enter the county government office?"
"What's going on? Isn't she an accomplice?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a beautiful girl be an accomplice of evil spirits?"
The yamen servant was impatient and scolded: "If you talk nonsense again, I will arrest you and slap you all!"
The people slowly dispersed, but the news that evil spirits attacked the county government office last night and cannibalized people spread even more fiercely.
Even if people close their doors, they can still spread the word.
Liu Hanyan entered the county government office, and Han Rong followed him all the way and said, "Sir, please have a seat."
Liu Hanyan glanced at the guest seat and took a seat at the guest seat.
Han Rong didn't know the details of Liu Hanyan, so he didn't dare to sit down, so he could only stand and bowed: "What do you call me, sir?"
Liu Hanyan said: "I am not an official. I am Liu Hanyan, the head of Liuyezhuang in the capital. I was the one who fought with the evil ghost last night."
The head catcher was relieved when he heard that Liu Hanyan was not an official.
However, Han Rong and Meng Chang were more respectful and worshiped: "It turns out to be Master Liu. I've heard of his name a long time ago. I just got to meet him today. It's a pleasure to meet him."
Officials like to pry into privacy. Long Chen and Liu Hanyan have an ambiguous relationship, and they all know about it.
Such people are more important than court officials.
Liu Hanyan glanced at the seat of honor and said, "Please take a seat, Magistrate Han. If you don't sit down, I will become the guest of honor."
Han Rong slowly sat down, Meng Chang sat down opposite to accompany him, and Tou Tou stood behind.
"Thank you so much, Master Liu, for saving your life last night."
In fact, Han Rong saw clearly last night that Liu Hanyan and Bai Wuchen were fighting fiercely.
But in order to save face, Han Rong lied that Liu Hanyan was an accomplice.
Meng Changhe looked at Han Rong in surprise, then immediately looked away.
They understand in their hearts, but they can't show it.
Liu Hanyan sneered and said: "I just heard that there was an accomplice of the evil spirit last night. She is a woman and she looks very similar to me."
Han Rong looked embarrassed and said: "Everything can be said among the people, so Master Liu should not take it to heart."
Liu Hanyan didn't want to expose Han Rong. He still needed his help for the rest of the matter. It wouldn't look good to tell the truth.
"The man last night was not an evil ghost. His name was Bai Wuchen, and he was the head of the Shexin Sect."
Han Rong was surprised and said: "Master Liu knows this thief? Is he really not an evil ghost?"
Liu Hanyan shook her head and said, "It's hard to say, he is both a human and a ghost."
These words made Han Rong even more confused and asked: "Forgive me for being stupid, what does Master Liu mean?"
Meng Changhe and Captor are also very strange. Why are they said to be both humans and ghosts?
Liu Hanyan said: "County Magistrate Han has never seen a half-ghost, so he doesn't know. When King Wu and I went to Shengxue Peak, we saw such a half-ghost."
"They were originally humans, but they were turned into half-human, half-ghost by the ghost tribe. That's what happened to Bai Wuchen."
After hearing this, Han Rong understood a little, but became even more confused. He asked: "Master Liu, you just said that you were turned into a half-human and half-ghost by the ghost tribe. Who was this Bai Wuchen turned into?"
Half ghost?"
Liu Hanyan shook her head and said, "This is what I want to ask County Magistrate Han. Where does this Bai Wuchen live in Menling County, and who does he usually interact with?"
Han Rong felt that the matter was getting serious. Bai Wuchen actually lived in the city, so the responsibility for this matter fell on him.
"I didn't know this Bai Wuchen before."
Han Rong looked at the catcher, who also looked innocent. He was usually responsible for arresting criminals. Bai Wuchen had never committed any crime. How could he know?
Liu Hanyan said: "This matter is of great importance. I would like to ask Magistrate Han to investigate thoroughly."
Han Rong immediately said: "Of course, a thorough investigation must be carried out. Mr. Lu will not find out the details of Bai Wuchen yet."
The head catcher looked confused and said in embarrassment: "Sir, my subordinate only knows one name, so there is no way to find out."
Bai Wuchen may have used a pseudonym in Mengling County, and he didn't know his appearance, so there was no way to check it.
Han Rong looked at Liu Hanyan and asked: "Master Liu, do you know Bai Wuchen's appearance?"
Liu Hanyan thought for a while and said, "Bring me a pen and ink, and I'll give you a portrait."
Meng Chang immediately brought a pen and ink canvas, and Liu Hanyan drew Bai Wuchen's face. The head catcher quickly took it and said, "My subordinates will go check it out right away."
After the arrester left, a government servant suddenly ran in from outside the door. He glanced at Liu Hanyan, walked slowly to Han Rong, and said, "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn said there is news about evil spirits."
Han Rong stood up overjoyed, and Liu Hanyan said coldly: "Last night one of my disciples was killed by Bai Wuchen, and his body was placed in Yuelai Inn. The shopkeeper probably wants to talk about it."
Han Rong immediately changed his face and said: "Tell the shopkeeper not to make false accusations and cause trouble."
The yamen servant immediately ran out and scolded the shopkeeper.
Liu Hanyan was waiting for news at the county government office.
Fifty miles south of Menngling County, the Long family army is heading north.
The empress sat in the carriage, chatting with Miaoyin, and also talked about her experience in practicing martial arts.
As Long Chen's confidante, Miaoyin also practiced the Ghost Shadow Technique and had a special insight.
Long Chen was riding a horse, with Zhuang Ling'er beside him. She asked for advice on cultivation along the way.
Long Chen saw that she had a slender figure and good looks, so he kept answering patiently.
