It was probably midnight now, and everything was quiet, and there was not even a single figure on the street.

Li Wenjun opened the gate of the courtyard and saw a yamen officer standing outside the gate. His face was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it in the county government. He pointed at the sky dissatisfiedly and said, "Are you wrong? Don't you look at what time it is now? Is there anything you can't wait until dawn before talking about it?"

The yamen smiled apologized and said, "Mr. Li, the brother who escorted the silver rewards to travel day and night. He just rushed back in the middle of the night. The great master is not worried about your anxiety, so after signing for the silver, he sent me to come and invite you over. Mr. Li, let's go, the great master is still waiting."

Li Wenjun didn't think much about it, and he was not afraid of Wu Qi making a fool. He said, "Wait a moment and let me wash my face."

Li Wenjun asked the Yamashi to wait at the door. He returned to the house, wrapped the storage on his back, and hung the dragon-headed goose feather sword and the scabbard around his waist.

The dragon-headed goose feather sword is a bit long and cannot be placed in the storage package. Moreover, as a magic weapon, especially a low-level magic weapon, it cannot be changed at will. When it is created, it will always be like what it looks like.

Li Wenjun put all his valuable belongings in the storage package. In this way, even if he encounters any accident, he must run away, and he doesn't have to worry about leaving anything.

Soon, Li Wenjun left the yard again. When he walked past Sun's door, he asked casually: "Can I call Uncle Sun?"

The yachao said, "Mr. Li, the great master means that you are the one who killed Wang Yonggui. You are the one who deserves the reward. There is no need to disturb others. Besides, it is so dark that we should not disturb Sun Baicao. If you have any problems, I will tell him tomorrow, and it will be the same."

Li Wenjun's heart moved, and he suddenly felt something was wrong. When would the government worry about disturbing the people? When they made a clever name, collected taxes, and forced labor, they never said the word "disturbance". Could it be that the government changed its temperament and took the flexible route?

Li Wenjun shook his head. If the government could change his character, all the evil dogs in the world would not eat shit anymore.

There must be a problem here!

Li Wenjun also remembered the incident when he sent Wang Yonggui's head to the county government office. His heart was not on this before and he didn't think there was any problem, but now he thinks the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that there is something big about it.

It is impossible for the county government to not be able to take out more than one thousand taels of silver in the silver treasury. If he remembered correctly, the county magistrate Wu Qi made a name a few days ago and collected stolen taxes from the whole county. This tax project alone can increase the income of thousands of taels of silver every month throughout the year. Even if it is necessary to spend money, there should be a lot of savings. Wu Qi did not need to withdraw silver from the city.

Also, this time, I didn’t choose other times, but chose to go to the county government in the middle of the night, which was also very abnormal.

Among the people of Sanshan County, Wu Qi has never been a diligent county magistrate who eats food all night. How could Wu Qi look at him differently and get up in the middle of the night to work for him?

Thinking of this, Li Wenjun touched the dragon-headed goose-ling knife hanging around his waist, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. This time, Wu Qi honestly gave him the money and promised him to publicize his contributions to the people of the county. It would be fine. If Wu Qi dared to make any tricks with him, he would make Wu Qi regret coming to the world.

Li Wenjun is also very skilled and brave. Even though he knew there might be something wrong with the county yamen, he still followed the yamen to the county yamen quietly.

The dark gate of the county government office was opened, and there was not even a guard outside the gate. The two angrily wind lights emitted a dark yellow light, making the county government office gate look like a bloody mouth that was opened, and the mouth of an animal that wanted to choose a person to eat.

The yamen made a "invitation" gesture and said, "Young Master Li, the great master is waiting for you in the second hall, please invite me."

"Can't it be an ambush here??" Li Wenjun stood at the door, looked inside, and then suddenly asked the yamen.

The yamen asked Li Wenjun to expose his thoughts and looked a little panicked. He insisted on calming himself and said, "Young Master Li is a great hero who eliminates the harm for the people. The great master wants to reward you. How could he ambush the sword and axe master? Young Master Li, please please, don't let the great master wait anxiously."

Li Wenjun nodded, and he strided up and walked past the threshold of the county government gate. He seemed to be indifferent, but he was alert in secret. Relying on his eyes, he could also look at the distance of dozens of feet in the night, he kept looking at places where people might be hidden. At the same time, his ears also stood up, capturing all suspicious movements.

As a cultivator in the second level of Qi training period, it is difficult for secular people to hurt him again, but it is difficult, which does not mean it is impossible. If someone sets up a powerful agency in the county government, just like Wang Yonggui, it can still make Li Wenjun suffer a lot.

Li Wenjun walked through the gate and walked a few steps before he heard a clang and the gate of the county yamen closed. He looked back, then looked at the yamen officer who accompanied him and said, "What does this mean?"

The yamen smiled and said, "I just opened the door specifically to welcome you, Mr. Li. Since you are here, the door will of course be closed. Don't worry, when you are about to leave, we will definitely open the door for you, so that it will not delay your affairs."

Li Wenjun nodded with a smile and said, "I hope you are telling the truth. In addition, I hope that before you lie to me, you will think about Wang Yonggui's head. If you don't want to be your company with Wang Yonggui, you must learn to treat others with sincerity."

The yachao shivered suddenly. He felt like he was being targeted by a wild beast that devoured people. The cold sweat on his back suddenly came out. He smiled and said with apologies: "Mr. Li, you are too worried. Why would I lie to you? Haha, let's go quickly, don't let the great master wait anxiously."

The yamen laughed dryly and urged Li Wenjun to leave quickly. He just wanted to bring Li Wenjun to Wu Qi as soon as possible, and finish his job early. Staying with the suspicious Li Wenjun is worried about his life.

Li Wenjun followed the yamen around the main hall of the county yamen and came to the second hall.

The light in the second hall was dim, and only a gauze lamp was placed on the table. The gauze blocked more than half of the candlelight that was not too bright.

Wu Qi sat upright behind the case, and on both sides of the hall, standing a row of yamen servants, all holding water and fire killing sticks, with expressionless expressions.

According to common sense, the light is so dim that it is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly the appearance of the yamen officers, but Li Wenjun's situation is special and he clearly saw the faces of all the yamen officers. He did not recognize any of these yamen officers. The day he sent Wang Yonggui's head to come, the few yamen officers he saw were not in it.

This is very abnormal. There are only a few yamen servants in the county yamen, and there are only one or two, which are not in it. It is understandable that it is impossible for everyone to be away, which is not in common sense.

There is indeed something wrong with this.
