Lushui County, the county government office.

After instructing Yue Shan and the others, Chen Yuan did not stop. Led by a group of terrified constables, he went directly to the county government office.

At the same time, news about him began to spread rapidly in Lushui County, and at an extremely fast pace, it spread to the Tangshan Prefecture area.

At this moment, Chen Yuan sat in the seat of honor, calmly waiting for the others to arrive.

The Five Elements Ghost Child stood on the side, wrapped in a black robe. Whenever a constable couldn't help but look over, they could see the Ghost Child smiling at them.

The bizarre appearance directly scared them out of their wits.

"Lord Qingqing Envoy, the county magistrate and the county commandant have arrived."

A constable walked into the main hall with a panicked expression, saying with a trembling voice.

"Let them in."

Chen Yuan said calmly.

"Yes."

The constable answered and nodded quickly, running out.

Soon, in just a few breaths, two middle-aged men in official robes walked in. The one on the left was more refined, and the one on the right was more robust.

At the same time, a faint baleful aura emanated from their bodies, obviously having just condensed their Nascent Souls.

The two entered the hall, their eyes immediately fixed on Chen Yuan. They frowned almost imperceptibly, seemingly feeling that Chen Yuan looked too young

to be a Qing envoy of the prefecture.

The two did not kneel, but walked into the hall with composure. Before they could speak, Chen Yuan took the initiative and said in a deep voice:

"Are you two the county magistrate and the county commandant of Lushui County?"

The refined man on the left nodded and cupped his hands.

"This official is Liu Yan, the county magistrate of Lushui County."

"This official is Cao Kong, the county commandant of Lushui County."

"Presumptuous! How dare you refer to yourselves as 'this official' in front of this envoy?" Chen Yuan's aura suddenly condensed, and his Tongxuan cultivation base erupted without concealment, enveloping the two of them.

County Commandant Cao Kong's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. County Magistrate Liu Yan felt a suffocating sensation, as if someone had grabbed his neck.

The aura came quickly and left quickly, but this did not prevent the expressions of both from changing drastically. They did not dare to be disrespectful in front of Chen Yuan.

"This humble official greets the Qing Envoy."

The two took a deep breath and said at the same time.

"Hmm."

"Lord, you claim to be the new Tangshan Qing Envoy. Do you have a transfer order from Qingzhou?" Cao Kong took a deep breath, trying to appear as respectful as possible.

They were still somewhat hesitant about Chen Yuan's identity.

After all, news of ordinary Qing Envoys and Prefects would be sent out several months in advance, but this time, the other party came too quickly.

They had no preparation at all.

They even subconsciously thought that the other party was a fraud when they first heard about it. It was only when they learned that the other party had killed Shen Tao, the son of Shen Yongzhi, without hesitation, that they became somewhat skeptical.

"What is your status? How dare you question this official?"

"Lord, this humble official just wants to confirm."

Chen Yuan hooked the corner of his mouth, and the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy directly solidified. Under his control, it crashed down. Cao Kong sensed something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but unfortunately, it was too late.

The powerful pressure directly pressed him to the ground, unable to even lift his head.

The constables in the hall looked horrified. They knew that County Commandant Cao Kong was a strong expert in the Ninggang Realm, yet he was suppressed to the ground by the other party's mere gesture, without any resistance. What kind of means was this?

County Magistrate Liu Yan looked at this scene with fear in his heart. Before he could speak, Chen Yuan shouted sternly:

"Do you think this official came here to see you? How dare you be disrespectful in front of this official? Do you not know the proper order and hierarchy?"

"Then what is the purpose of your visit, Lord?"

Liu Yan asked cautiously.

"What is the purpose? This official has come to return a bright and clear world to the people of Lushui. You, as local officials, do not think of pleading for the people, but instead, you aid evildoers and collude with the Kitchen Knife Gang to oppress the people. You truly deserve to die!"

"Now that Shen Tao has been executed, who do you think will be next?"

The murderous language, combined with the powerful aura, made Liu Yan's legs weaken, and he knelt down directly, saying quickly:

"Lord, please see clearly. This humble official has never done anything wrong."

Although the Inspecting Heaven Qing Envoy was not their direct superior, he had the right to supervise all officials, execute first and report later, a special privilege granted by the Emperor. Now, even if Chen Yuan killed him, nothing would happen.

"Whether you have done anything or not is not up to you to decide." Chen Yuan glanced at Cao Kong on the ground, and with a grasp in the void, the dignified County Commandant directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, splattering Liu Yan's face with blood.

It directly stunned him on the spot, seemingly not expecting that the other party would kill people at the slightest disagreement, without even asking a question. It was simply too cruel.

"Cao Kong's crimes do not need anyone to speak of them. Who in the entire Lushui County does not know? Today, this official will execute first and report later, to show others whether this official dares to act!"

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light.

According to various summarized information, Cao Kong had a very deep connection with the Shen family. Even his position as County Commandant was planned for him by the Shen family.

Chen Yuan would never be able to win over such a person, so it was better to publicly execute him.

But Liu Yan was different. Although he also aided evildoers and turned a blind eye, his reputation was slightly better than Cao Kong's. Chen Yuan could not kill him for the time being.

Otherwise, if all the local officials of the county were killed, who would govern?

Killing them would be easy, but it would cause a lot of trouble afterwards.

He was decisive in killing, but he was not reckless!

Jiang He wanted him to do things beautifully, certainly not at the cost of chaos in Tangshan Prefecture.

"Lord, spare me."

Liu Yan lay on the ground, shivering and begging for mercy.

The other party dared to kill even the County Commandant, so he wouldn't care about killing him, a mere County Magistrate.

"This official has evidence of your crimes. Do you admit your guilt?"

Chen Yuan asked coldly.

"This humble official admits guilt, this humble official admits guilt."

At this time, let alone if Liu Yan had really committed crimes, even if he hadn't, he wouldn't dare to disobey Chen Yuan's words. If the other party said he was guilty, then he was guilty, whether he was or not!

"This official will now give you a chance to atone for your sins. Do you want it or not?"

Chen Yuan looked down at Liu Yan from above.

"I want it, I want it. Please tell me what to do, Lord."

Liu Yan said quickly.

"Very well, write down all the crimes of the Kitchen Knife Gang, preferably in detail. Do you understand?"

Real killing still requires evidence.

This thing is one of his excuses, and it must be justified. Even this thing will be presented on the documents of the Qingzhou Governor in the future.

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Liu Yan hesitated instantly. He lowered his head and dared not answer. Only those in Tangshan Prefecture knew how powerful the Kitchen Knife Gang really was.

Although the name was not impressive, its power was real. It was definitely one of the most powerful forces in Tangshan Prefecture.

Moreover, the people of the Kitchen Knife Gang had always been ruthless. They dared to kill even court officials, and the Tangshan government had no response.

They would even help cover it up!

These were all lessons learned in blood.

"What? You don't dare?"

Chen Yuan's calm voice sounded like Yama calling his name in Liu Yan's ears.

"Offending the Kitchen Knife Gang will not necessarily lead to your death, but if you are unwilling to atone for your sins today, you will definitely die, and you will die miserably." Chen Yuan threatened.

"Yes, this humble official understands. This humble official will write it now..."

Liu Yan nodded repeatedly.

The Ghost Gold Child, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately placed the pen, ink, and paper in front of Liu Yan.

Gritting his teeth, Liu Yan began to lower his head and write.

The rustling sound continued. Chen Yuan looked at this scene with calm eyes and took a deep breath. Next, he would officially take office as the Tangshan Qing Envoy!

Suddenly, just as Liu Yan was writing furiously, a commotion suddenly came from outside, as if someone wanted to force their way into the main hall, shouting:

"County Magistrate Liu, County Commandant Cao, where are you? A thief has dared to attack my Kitchen Knife Gang branch. Quickly send someone to suppress them, quickly send someone..."

A cold wind blew through, and the person shouting outside also broke into the main hall.

Wearing a luxurious robe, with gray hair and beard, and a Ninggang Realm cultivation aura surrounding him, he was the person in charge of the Kitchen Knife Gang in Lushui County.

As soon as he came in, he saw Liu Yan kneeling on the ground writing something, with a large pool of blood next to him, and even some limbs mixed in.

For a moment, he was stunned in place.

Chen Yuan's expression straightened, and he slammed the gavel fiercely, shouting sternly:

"Who is accusing this official in the hall?"

The old man with gray hair and beard heard the words and quickly turned his gaze to the one sitting high in the seat of honor, with a somewhat puzzled expression. He didn't understand why the other party said he was accusing him.

"Who are you?"

"Swish!"

A ray of saber light flashed, and everyone in the hall narrowed their eyes involuntarily. The gray-haired old man had no time to react. He saw that his two arms were now separated from his body.

"Ah!"

He roared in pain, letting out a heart-rending scream.

Liu Yan's body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes just happened to see the two arms. The speed of writing the indictment accelerated a lot.

He could see that this Qing Envoy was determined to deal with the Kitchen Knife Gang.

"It was this official who ordered people to go and exterminate the Kitchen Knife Gang. Who do you think this official is?" Chen Yuan questioned, word by word.

"What... you..." The old man's face was full of shock.

"You dare to attack my Kitchen Knife Gang. Aren't you afraid of dying and having your clan exterminated?" The old man threatened with a twisted face, blood flowing from his arms.

"These things are not for you to worry about. You might as well worry about whether this official will confiscate your property and exterminate your clan." Chen Yuan glanced at him calmly.

Without giving him any chance to speak, he directly delivered a punch, and his blood surged. The second cloud of blood mist exploded in the hall, and the ground was stained red with blood.

Liu Yan trembled, stopped his pen, held the indictment over his head with both hands, and said in a low voice:

"This humble official... this humble official has finished writing the indictment. Please review it, Lord."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, and a powerful suction force directly grabbed the paper in his hand. He scanned it quickly and nodded after reading it:

"Very well, County Magistrate Liu is a wise man. Now that Cao Kong is dead, his duties will be temporarily handed over to you. Remember, Lushui County must not be in chaos."

"Yes... yes... this humble official obeys."

He was now frightened by Chen Yuan's thunderous methods and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

Before long, Yue Shan and the others returned with a full load. This time, they not only destroyed the Kitchen Knife Gang branch but also confiscated their property, reaping great profits.

More and more people gathered outside, their faces filled with excitement.

The people of Lushui had suffered under the Kitchen Knife Gang for a long time!

Today, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Chen Yuan walked out of the county government office, and a large group of people knelt down outside, shouting slogans such as "Upright Official" and so on.

Martial arts are prevalent in Tangshan, which is true, but that refers to martial artists. Ordinary people are still very poor. It's a pity that this place possesses extraordinary martial power.

Otherwise, if Chen Yuan raised his arm and called out, with such popular support, wouldn't he be able to immediately occupy a prefecture?

The County Magistrate Liu Yan, who was following behind Chen Yuan, saw such a scene of thousands of people kneeling for the first time. For some reason, there was a strange feeling in his heart.

But it quickly disappeared. Pleading for the people could indeed be called a good official, but they also died quickly.

When turbidity is the norm, integrity becomes a crime.

He felt that Chen Yuan might not live long. How could Shen Yongzhi of the Kitchen Knife Gang let him go? With his current attitude, how could the Tangshan Jianghu tolerate him?

But in the end, he was wrong. su丹小说网

Chen Yuan himself might have a trace of kindness, but in reality, he was still a character who prioritized interests. The reason he did this was that Chen Yuan also had his eyes on the Tangshan Prefecture.

Located at the junction of three states, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and rich in resources, it was a good place for development. With Jiang He backing him, he could have more than Shen Yongzhi!

Everything he was doing now was just to win the hearts of the people, to find an excuse for himself, and to paralyze those people. Of course, there was also a part of him who wanted to continue climbing up.

In addition to talent, he must also have something that people can trust.

Pleading for the people seemed to be a good thing.

As for plundering these peasants?

Chen Yuan looked down on them.

How much could they plunder?

The real big heads were in the various Jianghu forces in Tangshan Prefecture. What he had to do was to take what originally belonged to them into his own hands!

All enemies who stood in his way would be exterminated!

Chen Yuan stepped out into the air, step by step, like an immortal god. He said loudly:

"I, Chen Yuan, swear to be incompatible with evil!"
