The other party said with a sneer, "How dare you call yourself an immortal?"
Chen Fan frowned and said, "Why, is it possible that there are beings called immortals in your place?"
"certainly!"
The other party patted his chest and said, "Remember, sir, my name is Dong Yuanchun, and I am the only innate master in the town. You, a scholar who doesn't know where he comes from, dare to call yourself an immortal. You are simply bragging!"
Speaking of this, Dong Yuanchun waved his hand and said, "Come here, tie up this scholar first, send him to Chiyang County, and hand him over to the city lord for questioning!"
"yes!"
The two men behind him agreed in unison and were ready to rush forward to arrest Chen Fan.
Chen Fan suddenly gave a soft drink, and leisurely stretched out a finger to point at Dong Yuanchun.
The two men behind Dong Yuanchun were pointed out by Chen Fan before they could take action.
Suddenly realizing that he couldn't move, Dong Yuanchun's expression suddenly changed, "What kind of magic did you use to make you let me go?"
Chen Fan laughed and said, "Guys, please speak carefully and don't want to arrest people at every turn. Do you still think that I am a fake immortal?"
As the only innate master in the entire town, Dong Yuanchun was always followed wherever he went.
In this fishing village, Dong Yuanchun never thought that he would hit the iron plate.
In particular, the methods Chen Fan showed just now were similar to those of the top masters he saw in the county. At this time, Dong Yuanchun did not dare to question Chen Fan's identity.
Even though he still doubted it, he did not dare to show the slightest intention of resisting on his face.
"Sir, I'm just a small cultivator. How could I have seen such a powerful method like yours? Please let me go. We will definitely be grateful for your tolerance!"
Chen Fan suddenly laughed, "So, you already know that you are wrong?"
"Yes, we were wrong!"
Chen Fan didn't pay attention to Dong Yuanchun's domineering behavior at all.
However, the way this guy used his attitude towards Gao Heng and the others in the fishing village, it was obvious that he was accustomed to this kind of squeezing method.
Chen Fan couldn't ignore this.
Despite Gao Heng's kindness, Chen Fan could not let Dong Yuanchun continue to be arrogant.
"Actually, I am planning to go to the county town this time. If you can arrange some manpower to send me to the county town, I can let you go!"
"Okay, okay, no problem. We just happen to be sending this batch of supplies to the county. We will send you there with us then!"
Dong Yuanchun hurriedly agreed.
Chen Fan suddenly laughed.
"That's fine, then let's keep all these salted fish. If your superior in the county and city accuses you, then you can blame everything on me. How about that?"
Dong Yuanchun's expression changed drastically.
Every time he collects taxes from the fishing village, most of them will be kept in his own hands. Whether it is sold or given as gifts, it is an excellent income. However, the powerful master in front of him made him give up teaching the fishing village directly.
Tax, this is like cutting off his flesh.
While feeling heartbroken, my hatred for Chen Fan became even deeper.
Chen Fan could sense Dong Yuanchun's emotional changes clearly. Chen Fan didn't care about it at all, and he didn't even intend to let this guy go.
If nothing else, just because of the sinister aura of Dong Yuanchun, he knew that he had done many unscrupulous evil things.
Even the two accomplices behind Dong Yuanchun were full of hostility and completely murderable people.
Chen Fan frowned, "Why, do you disagree with my request?"
Dong Yuanchun gritted his teeth and cursed secretly before nodding, "Okay, then I will follow your orders, but you must come with me to give the city lord an explanation!"
"Don't worry, I was going to the county town this time, but there was no one to lead the way. You just happened to lead the way for me!"
"Well, I won't collect the tax this time!"
Dong Yuanchun stared at Gao Heng fiercely, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and murderous intent suddenly appeared.
Gao Heng was frightened by Dong Yuanchun's look and hurriedly explained.
"Immortal, you don't have to worry about the livelihood of our fishing village. In fact, it is normal to pay taxes twice a year. After all, everything here is left to us by the saint for our survival. The blood of the descendants of the saint is enshrined.
This is our best effort!"
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Gao Heng, you don't have to worry, I will help you solve everything, I have everything!"
"But!"
Gao Heng wanted to say something else, but was directly interrupted by Chen Fan.
"Gao Heng, you don't have to say anything about this, I will help your fishing village completely eliminate the tax issue!"
Chen Fan's words reached this point, and Gao Heng no longer knew how to explain.
Gao Heng was a little happy, but more afraid and panicked.
After all, Chen Fan is just a passerby. Once Chen Fan leaves, the last person he will face will still be Dong Yuanchun.
Chen Fan also knew what Gao Heng was worried about, so this time, Chen Fan had to completely resolve Gao Heng's and his others' worries.
In the end, Chen Fan followed Dong Yuanchun and left the fishing village.
Along the way, Dong Yuanchun used various clichés to try to figure out Chen Fan's origins.
After returning to the town and seeing Dong Yuanchun's luxurious residence, Chen Fan became more determined to get rid of Dong Yuanchun.
Because behind Dong Yuanchun's residence, several ghosts have been wandering.
That night, Chen Fan specially summoned one of the ghosts and learned that Dong Yuanchun's identity was actually related to the city lord of the county.
Yang Xuecheng, the lord of the City Lord's Mansion, married Dong Yuanchun's sister as a concubine, so Dong Yuanchun got a spiritual elixir and was able to break through to the innate realm.
It is precisely because of this family relationship that Dong Yuanchun can be so unscrupulous in doing things in the town.
The ghosts in the back house were all caused by Dong Yuanchun who took possession of the young girl in the town and tortured her to death.
According to this ghost, Dong Yuanchun killed dozens of girls at least through this method.
Chen Fan could only hear that he wanted to kill Dong Yuanchun immediately.
Early the next morning, when Dong Yuanchun came to invite Chen Fan to set off, Chen Fan's face was gloomy and he boarded the car silently.
Along the way, they rode the carriage prepared by Dong Yuanchun and rushed to the county town.
Along the way, Dong Yuanchun still did not give up on insinuating Chen Fan.
"My lord, what do you call me?"
"Chen Fan!"
"Master Chen, what do you mean when you go to the county town this time?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I just want to visit the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Are you really going to the City Lord's Mansion? Are you going to take part in the county's assessment?"
Dong Yuanchun asked with a flattering look.
Hearing Dong Yuanchun's words, Chen Fan was a little surprised, "What is the county assessment?"
"You don't know about the assessment of the county? Then what are you going to do when you meet the city lord?"
