"So, you're Chen Yuan!"

When Chen Yuan returned to the main hall, Madam Wu stared at him with hatred, having clearly overheard what was said outside.

"Oh? Madam knows of Chen?"

Chen Yuan sat at the head of the table, his face expressionless.

"Did you kill Qing'er?"

"Of course not, but I actually really wanted to kill her, unfortunately, I missed the opportunity..." Chen Yuan smiled.

"Then how did Qing'er die? Was it because of you..."

"Slap."

Wang Ping slapped Madam Wu across the face, knocking her to the ground: "Are you interrogating us, or are we interrogating you?"

"You..."

Madam Wu covered her red handprint, her eyes flashing with hatred.

If she was afraid before, knowing Chen Yuan's true identity, she was filled with hatred. Even if Chen Yuan didn't kill Qing'er, disregarding the facts, wasn't Chen Yuan at least partly responsible?

It was Chen Yuan who locked Qing'er in the prison, which led to her tragic fate.

"Chen is not interested in arguing with you here. Since you don't know the whereabouts of Liu Changfeng and Liu Yun, there's no need to keep you around."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, ordering his men to take her away.

"Chen..."

Madam Wu wanted to say something, but her mouth was already stuffed with something, making her unable to speak.

"Should we pursue them?"

Wang Ping asked.

Chen Yuan paused for a moment, and said:

"Since they left several days ago, it won't be easy to find them now. Issue arrest warrants and report to the prefectural city for a city-wide search..."

Chen Yuan couldn't possibly mobilize manpower and resources to find Liu Changfeng now, so he could only use arrest warrants, but the effectiveness was indeed questionable.

"Yes."

"What did you find in the Liu residence?"

"One thousand and twenty-seven taels of silver, several pieces of jewelry, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as some elixirs used for cultivation."

"What kind of elixirs are there?"

"Thirty-two Tiger Bone Pills, fifteen Blood Nourishing Pills, Aphrodisiac Pills..."

Hearing the words "Aphrodisiac Pills," Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile. So, Liu Shuanghe wasn't doing so well in that department...

After calculation, they found items worth about one thousand eight hundred taels of silver in the Liu residence. In addition, there were some Liu family properties that Chen Yuan couldn't take away, and he didn't have time to deal with them.

So he gave them to those fellows in Cao County.

......

Half of the silver was handed over, and Chen Yuan distributed most of the remaining items, only keeping the elixirs used for cultivation, which were the most useful to him.

As for the few Aphrodisiac Pills...

Wang Ping took them away, claiming that his father's health had not been good recently.

Chen Yuan simply smiled at this.

After returning to Ping'an County, Chen Yuan immediately handed half of the items over to Lu Yang, along with the waist token representing his identity, expressing his gratitude in his words.

Lu Yang seemed to appreciate Chen Yuan's decisive character.

To act within the Celestial Inspectorate, one must have such a mindset.

Otherwise, how could one gain a foothold in the martial world (jianghu)?

The martial world is not about interpersonal relationships, but about fighting and killing!

"You're not leaving with this envoy?" Lu Yang frowned slightly as he looked at Chen Yuan.

"Sir, Chen has some personal matters..."

Lu Yang's schedule was too rushed, and Chen Yuan didn't have time to say a proper farewell.

At the very least, Zhao Nanshan had helped him several times, and he couldn't just leave without saying goodbye. As for the others, it didn't matter much.

"Very well... Since you want to leave on your own, this envoy won't stop you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Lu."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands.

He was more accustomed to being alone. Besides, there was no danger in leaving Ping'an County.

He had basically resolved his enemies, and wouldn't leave any future troubles. The only thing he was uncertain about was the demonic members of the Unborn Sect (Wu Sheng Jiao).

If the news of the Blood Fiend Saber (Xue Sha Dao) was leaked by that skinny man, it might attract some pursuit.

Moreover, it was best to cultivate with the Bone Refining Pills (Lian Gu Dan) he had just obtained from the Liu family.

There were countless experts within the Celestial Inspectorate (Xun Tian Si), and with his current strength, he was nothing special, at most a notable figure in the Foundation Establishment (Zhu Ji) realm.

But looking at the prefectural city...

Chen Yuan needed to increase his strength urgently to increase his sense of security.

He was a person with very little sense of security, ever since he came to this world.

Lu Yang nodded, not saying much more. Chen Yuan not leaving with him actually saved him some trouble. The only pity this time was that he had found some evidence of Li Mingqi's crimes.

But the crimes were not serious enough to warrant confiscating his family's property, and the superiors would not agree to him taking action.

After all, what had just been publicized was that County Commandant Li Mingqi had died at the hands of the Unborn Sect demons.

After that, Lu Yang didn't try to persuade him anymore. Although Ping'an County wasn't close to the prefectural city, it was relatively peaceful.

Unlike the few border prefectures, which were filled with bandits and highwaymen.

Before leaving, Chen Yuan also asked him to apologize to Zhang Xuan, saying that he would go to the prefectural city as soon as possible.

After seeing Lu Yang off, Chen Yuan hurriedly went to County Magistrate Wu Qingfeng.

Inside the main hall.

Only Chen Yuan and Wu Qingfeng remained.

Chen Yuan folded his constable uniform neatly with a smile on his face, and placed his saber on the table. With Li Mingqi dead, Wu Qingfeng was Chen Yuan's superior.

Before leaving, he had to hand over his duties according to the rules.

"Chen Yuan..."

Wu Qingfeng looked at Chen Yuan with some complexity.

His initial impression of Chen Yuan was when Li Mingqi set up a martial arts arena in the training grounds to select the head constable. At that time, Chen Yuan showed his skills and defeated everyone.

He was even able to remain undefeated against a Bone Refinement (Lian Gu) expert with his Blood Refinement (Lian Xue) cultivation, even gaining the upper hand in the early stages. He had no choice but to acknowledge Chen Yuan as the head constable.

He originally thought that Chen Yuan, with only Blood Refinement cultivation and shallow qualifications, would not be able to control the constabulary and the security of the county, and might even cause some trouble for Li Mingqi.

But he never expected that Chen Yuan would establish his reputation with several actions.

Ruthless!

Chen Yuan was able to secure his position entirely by being ruthless.

Killing and exterminating families at every turn, which intimidated many people who had ideas about him.

Later, he was ordered to investigate the matter of the bandits, and he completed the task excellently, eliminating the bandits led by Han Feihu, who had been wreaking havoc in the county, and taking the North Sea Gang (Bei Hai Bang) of the north city under his control with some clever tactics.

In just a few months, he became a prominent figure in Ping'an County, forcing him to take him seriously.

To be honest, if Chen Yuan hadn't been transferred to the Celestial Inspectorate, and had leaned towards him, Wu Qingfeng would have definitely put him to good use.

It was a pity that Chen Yuan didn't seem to trust him.

"Sir."

Chen Yuan replied calmly.

He had some aversion to Wu Qingfeng before, thinking that he would cause him some trouble, but he didn't expect him to remain calm all along, as if he had forgotten about him.

Chen Yuan also lost much of his hostility towards him.

His style of doing things was: I don't offend others unless they offend me.

Of course, except for those with fate...

"You are young and vigorous. When you enter the Celestial Inspectorate, you must know how to hide your edge. This official also served as an official in the prefectural city when he was young, and knows that the water inside is very deep."

Wu Qingfeng said softly.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. This subordinate will definitely keep it in mind."

Chen Yuan said in a solemn voice.

"Yes... If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come back to Ping'an County to find this official..."

Wu Qingfeng said a lot of things, both to give guidance and to bring their relationship closer. Chen Yuan was a little puzzled, but he listened attentively. Since there was no hatred,

There was no need to create any.

As for Wu Qingfeng, he actually felt that Chen Yuan was a promising guy, who might rise to power in the future, and might even ask him for help.

Chen Yuan was only in his early twenties this year, still young, but he already had such strength. No wonder Zhang Xuan valued him so much.

Before long, Chen Yuan left Wu Qingfeng. When he left, Wu Qingfeng also gave Chen Yuan a pot of good wine, saying that he wished him a good future. Chen Yuan couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

After bidding farewell to Wu Qingfeng, Chen Yuan went straight to the east of the city.

Inside the Three Harmonies Martial Arts Hall (San He Quan Guan), a group of disciples practiced their boxing techniques in unison. Guo Xu held a wooden stick, and would hit anyone whose posture was not standard.

He looked up and saw Chen Yuan's figure, and quickly put on a smile, walked forward, and said:

"Constable Chen."

Guo Xu had undoubtedly seen and had some respect for Chen Yuan's power, knowing how big the gap between him and Chen Yuan was, so he dared not be disrespectful in the slightest.

His master, Zhao Nanshan, only dared to envy Chen Yuan's importance, but not be jealous.

When the gap between people reaches a certain level, jealousy will not arise.

"Where's Old Zhao?"

"Master is resting in the backyard."

Guo Xu said with a smile.

Chen Yuan nodded, secretly complaining that Zhao Nanshan really didn't come out of the backyard unless he had something to do. Every time he came, he was sleeping in the backyard, how comfortable.

Crossing the front yard, Chen Yuan entered the backyard of the Three Harmonies Martial Arts Hall.

Zhao Nanshan was still the same as before, lying in a chair, squinting his eyes, with a fan in his right hand, and steaming tea on the stone table next to him.

Walking closer, Chen Yuan cupped his hands:

"Old Zhao."

"Sit..."

Zhao Nanshan put down the cattail leaf fan, opened his eyes and looked Chen Yuan up and down.

"Why are you here again?"

"What are you saying, Old Zhao? Can't Chen come?"

"When you come, there's definitely nothing good."

Zhao Nanshan was a little helpless.

Chen Yuan seemed to have never been at peace, and his mind was very deep. He even dared to...

"This time it's a good thing."

"Tell me about it."

Zhao Nanshan sat up straight, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I'm leaving..."

"The transfer order is down?"

Zhao Nanshan was not surprised. Chen Yuan had told him before that he was going to leave Ping'an County and go to the Celestial Inspectorate in the prefectural city.

"It came down before, and I will leave Ping'an County in the next few days."

"The Celestial Inspectorate is a good place, but it's also very dangerous. The imperial court's control is not as strong as before, and various sect forces have emerged, even repeatedly provoking the authority of the imperial court."

Zhao Nanshan shook his head.

"Living in Ping'an County, Old Zhao also knows about the situation outside?" Chen Yuan was a little surprised, feeling that Old Zhao had hidden a lot of his abilities.

"Just speculation. There was already a trend back then, and I guess it's even more serious now..."
