Zhao Yuanji was also worried that Chen Yang would not show up, so he hurriedly walked out.
But as soon as he raised his feet, he saw Chen Yang, Yang Ming, and Yang Liang standing in the yard outside the door. A cold light flashed in their eyes, and he turned around and said to Li Hongran: "Master Sheriff, that man is here."
As he spoke, he pointed towards Chen Yang.
Li Hongran looked at Chen Yang, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and muttered: "I don't think he looks like a bad person, does he?"
Zhao Yuanji hurriedly said: "Master Sheriff, you don't know this. A bad person is not what he looks like on the surface. He is cruel and ruthless. Dozens of members of the Yuan family were all cut into pieces by him. Do you think he is bad?"
"
"It's really bad."
Li Hongran looked thoughtful and glanced at Yang Ming and Yang Liang: "But those two people don't seem like bad people."
"They are accomplices." Zhao Yuanji said with a solemn look on his face: "Master Sheriff, you have to be careful. Don't believe anything they say. It's best to kill them directly to save trouble."
Zhao Yuanji did not want to be left alive, otherwise, if Yang Ming told Li Hongran about the grievances between the Yang family and the Yuan family, he might not know what Li Hongran would do.
Maybe, this stubborn Prince and Lord Sheriff will lose his official position.
Therefore, it would be best to kill Chen Yang and the others directly to avoid future troubles.
By then, the Yuan family's property will all belong to him.
"Kill him directly, how can this be done?"
Li Hongran shook his head and said seriously: "Even if they broke the law, they should be interrogated and then judged. How can they be killed directly? However, they are so hateful, if they cannot be killed, it is not a violation of the law for personal gain."
Zhao Yuanji's heart skipped a beat when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he felt relieved, gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of the county governor, he is indeed wise."
"hey-hey."
Li Hongran smiled shyly, as if he was a little embarrassed by the praise.
Looking at the scene that happened in the room, Chen Yang felt that Li Hongran was very innocent. If he hadn't been taken advantage of by Zhao Yuanji, he would not have gotten involved in this matter.
This also made Chen Yang change his mind about killing people directly and planned to talk to Li Hongran.
"When you see the Sheriff, why don't you kneel down and salute!"
Zhao Yuanji straightened his back, looked at Chen Yang and the others outside the door, and shouted in a stern voice, without any of the respect he showed when they parted yesterday.
Yang Ming and Yang Liang heard the conversation between Zhao Yuanji and Li Hongran and already knew what was going on, and they felt even more disgusted with Zhao Yuanji.
Yang Ming hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands to Li Hongran, and said: "Your Excellency, the Sheriff, this is not..."
"Let you kneel down!" Zhao Yuanji shouted angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongran waved his hand and said: "I am a county guard now, and I am not a prince, so I don't need to kneel down and bow."
Zhao Yuanji was stunned for a moment and said: "Master County Sheriff, they are criminals. When they see the County Sheriff or the city lord, they should kneel down and worship."
"Um……"
Li Hongran looked thoughtful and nodded: "Okay."
After receiving a positive reply, Zhao Yuanji said to Chen Yang confidently: "Chen Er, please kneel down immediately!"
Chen Yang didn't even look at Zhao Yuanji, his eyes fell behind Li Hongran and said: "Little brother, you want to enforce the law impartially, but you were deceived."
"Who did you call little brother?"
Zhao Yuanji angrily said.
Li Hongran also had a look of displeasure on his face. As a prince and a county guard, no one dared to call him little brother except his elder brothers. This simply did not take him or the royal family seriously.
"He is indeed an arrogant person."
Li Hongran frowned and said displeased.
Chen Yang smiled and said: "You are ignorant, you are not a naive little brother, what are you?"
Li Hongran's face became increasingly ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "You are a murderer. You not only kill people, but you also provoke me. You simply ignore the king's laws."
"When the king's law is incorrect, of course I will ignore it." Chen Yang said calmly.
Li Hongran said angrily: "Okay, then tell me, what's wrong with it?"
"It's a long story."
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and said to Yang Ming beside him: "You come and tell this ignorant little brother what the cause and effect of the matter are."
Yang Ming knew that Chen Yang deliberately provoked Li Hongran and wanted Li Hongran to administer justice.
As long as Li Hongran is the governor and the prince opens his mouth, Yang Ming and Yang Liang will be invincible in Yunmu City.
Not to mention the city lord Zhao Yuanji, even if another county guard comes, he can't touch Yang Ming's family.
Yang Ming immediately stepped forward and opened his mouth to explain the truth.
But the old and cunning Zhao Yuanji could not see what Chen Yang was up to. He bowed and said to Li Hongran: "Master County Sheriff, don't listen to the slander. The right way is to kill the murderer immediately."
Li Hongran showed curiosity on his face and said: "I would like to hear..."
Seeing that he wanted to hear what Yang Ming had to say, Zhao Yuanji's expression changed, and he suddenly attacked Yang Ming, shouting: "A bold maniac, how dare you deceive the governor, and seek death!"
Although Zhao Yuanji knew that he was no match for Chen Yang, his attack at this moment was not to suppress the opponent, but to draw out the hidden master.
When he made a move, he did not move forward, but deliberately moved to Li Hongran's side. In this way, Chen Yang's attack would affect Li Hongran, and then the cultivator secretly protecting Li Hongran would naturally take action.
"I'm not asking you to take action."
Li Hongran shouted hurriedly, but it was already too late. Seeing Zhao Yuanji's starlight covering Chen Yang and the others, he couldn't help but frown.
However, when Chen Yang pointed at a stream of air, Zhao Yuanji's star burst completely and turned into nothingness.
The air flow made a whooshing sound and continued unabated. It was surrounded by tiny bits of star energy and headed straight for Zhao Yuanji.
"A bold maniac who dares to commit murder against the prince!"
Zhao Yuanji roared angrily and quickly wanted to stand in front of Li Hongran to show his loyalty, but the air flow was too fast and he had no time to move.
"City Lord Zhao!"
Li Hongran looked shocked. Although it was Zhao Yuanji who made the first move, in the eyes of Li Hongran, Chen Yang dared to fight back instead of just resisting. This was intolerable in Li Hongran's eyes.
Zhao Yuanji was about to be hit by the air flow. At this moment, a starburst suddenly shot out and blocked Chen Yang's air flow.
Boom.
The air currents and stars rushed towards the ground on the sides, damaging the foundation and causing the house to collapse.
Three figures flew upwards, breaking through the collapsed houses and standing in the sky.
In addition to Li Hongran and Zhao Yuanji, there was also an old man who appeared.
This old man was the one who had been hiding in secret to protect Li Hongran.
Before, Chen Yang was curious as to what kind of person was actually protected by the Shattering Sky Realm. After all, in this place, the Shattering Sky Realm was already powerful and terrifying, and below there were the Three Phase Realm, the Soul Realm, and the Purple Mansion Realm.
Even the city lord is only at the peak of the Zhenfu stage in the Zifu realm.
Now Chen Yang finally understood that since Li Hongran was the prince, it was natural for him to have the secret guards of Shattering Sky Realm.
"Mr. Luo!"
Seeing the old man, Zhao Yuanji pretended to be surprised and quickly bowed and saluted.
There was a cunning look in his eyes. He glanced at Chen Yang and said secretly: "Hmph, if the Shattering Sky Realm takes action, you will definitely die even if you have great abilities."
