From the fact that the Li family supports demonic warriors and the behavior of bandits outside the city, it can be seen that they act without scruples.

Bullying men and women, and occupying land are just the most common trivial matters. Various cases of harming people's lives made Haiyu's eyes split with tears, and he was frightened by the disgusting nature of human nature.

The Li family members who were sentenced to death actually accounted for a full 80%!

After being implicated, Hai Yuqing also tried many cases involving landlords and squire families, and personally took action and arrested a large number of people.

Only this time, the other landowners did not dare to resist at all and could only hand over the favor honestly.

Some whose crimes were not so serious even took the initiative to surrender to the county government office in order to avoid being punished.

The resistance that Hai Yuqing had encountered before seemed to disappear overnight, disappearing without a trace.

Didn’t you see that even the Li family was ransacked without even being able to fight back?

The total number of warriors in the three realms of the Dong family is not as large as that of the Li family, so how can they resist?

The only thing they were lucky about was that their actions on weekdays were not particularly excessive, and their homes were not confiscated and executed.

Hai Yuqing's plan to reduce taxes on Qingtian was finally implemented in one village after another.

Hai Yuqing returned the fields collected from the landlords to the owners of the land, and auctioned off the fields without owners.

When farmers have land in their hands, they have hope for the future.

Coupled with the reduction in taxes, even if the weather is still hot and dry, the smiles on the faces of the people in Baoqi County gradually increase, and they all praise the deeds of "Haiqingtian".

at the same time.

Everyone knows that County Magistrate Hai got the help of a scholar to sweep away the Li family so easily, including the bandits who had been entrenched outside the city for several years.

Rumors about Lu Bin's identity are also rampant, and there are different opinions.

Some people speculate that he is a hidden sect walking on earth;

Some people suspected that he was an expert who descended from the sky and came specifically to help Hai Qingtian remove obstacles;

Others say that he is actually a demon, with a cruel and terrifying nature.

But no matter what, the name of Lu Bin, the jade-faced scholar, soon spread throughout Baoqi County, becoming a figure as famous as the old immortal Wuxu.

At this time, Anle had left Baoqi County and headed towards the border of Qingzhou.

After all this trouble, the landowners in Baoqi County were frightened and no longer dared to go against Hai Yuqing.

After ensuring the stability of the rear, Anle dared to leave with confidence.

As for Yin Yu and Yin Feichen?

Since the next situation is unknown, there may be extremely powerful masters, and Anle may not be able to protect them, so he simply leaves the two of them in the Taoist temple, leaving enough silver and blood crystals for them to practice with peace of mind, and declares "nothing"

"Xu Laoxian" will stay in seclusion for a period of time and will no longer receive other people.

After making these preparations, Anle began to look for his senior sister.

By the way, before leaving, Hai Yuqing also gave him 40,000 taels of silver as a gift.

Most of these are money obtained after ransacking homes.

Although Hai Yuqing himself is an honest official, he is not the kind of pedantic person and has always believed in pragmatism.

Whether it is Qing Zhengyang or other warriors, he chooses to use real money to win people's hearts, not to mention the most important thing, peace and happiness.

These 40,000 taels of silver were used as a thank you gift for An Le.

An Le is not pretentious. He is currently practicing Qi and Blood Condensation Pills. It is when he needs money, so naturally the more the better.

Three days later.

Following the guidance of a group of merchants, Anle took Xiaoxiaohong to the foot of a mountain.

Looking up, the entire mountain range is bare, with only some scattered buds sprouting out, bringing a touch of light green color.

Not a single animal can be seen on it, it is deserted and strange.

This is what is called a "barren mountain."

But obviously, some time has passed since the days when it was empty.

Anle was also amazed when he saw it.

Hearing about this scene from other people's mouths and seeing it with one's own eyes are completely different feelings.

"No wonder some people suspect that this is the work of a demon."

"It does look weird and strange."

Especially when compared with the lush and vibrant forests on other surrounding mountains, this barren mountain feels even more abrupt.

What's interesting is that there are actually many warriors with strong martial arts vibe nearby watching.

Some just happen to be passing by.

But some come specifically for it.

"What on earth is this made of? And why do you do this?"

A delicate girl wearing bright yellow clothes curiously asked the elders around her.

The old man with gray hair but still strong vitality and blood shook his head: "Who knows?"

"Maybe it's a demon, or maybe it's an evil spirit."

"In short, there are no traces of blood. It doesn't look like it was made by humans."

The old man had a serious look on his face: "The whereabouts of the instigator are uncertain, and he may have left Qingzhou now."

"We have to hurry up, otherwise the reward may be taken away by others."

When several warriors nearby heard this, they turned their heads curiously and were about to say something sarcastic, but their expressions quickly changed.

"Huang Yueshan? It's actually him!"

"The person beside him must be the daughter of the Huang family. Her appearance is indeed beautiful and lovely."

"I didn't expect that even the Yueshan Escort Agency would be interested in offering a reward..."

The Yueshan Escort Bureau has a big background. It is the largest escort bureau in Qingzhou City. Not to mention the third realm warriors, there are even more than one in the fourth realm. For these ordinary wandering warriors, it is not a world at all.

Upon hearing these whispers, Huang Yueshan didn't say anything, and just glanced at them with his tiger eyes.

He was obviously an old man with white beard and hair, but he burst out with the ferocity of a tiger. With just one glance, everyone was frightened and looked away, not daring to look further.

Huang Tianxin was not aware of this fierce momentum at all, and said with a sweet smile: "Grandpa, why are you scaring them?"

"Hmph, some brats dare to stare at my granddaughter!"

"Of course I have to teach you a lesson."

Huang Yueshan snorted coldly, but when he glanced over, he suddenly noticed a distinctive figure.

He was a scholar wearing green clothes with a jade-like complexion. He did not carry any weapons, but he had an elegant and easy-going temperament about him, which made people feel good about him.

"This young man is good!"

Huang Yueshan has a sharp eye. From the scholar's straight back and the calm and fearless eyes, it can be seen that this boy is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Other passers-by whispered: "Could it be that jade-faced scholar from Baoqi County?"

"This kind of magnanimity... is really possible!"

Huang Yueshan didn't take these words too seriously.

He had never heard of the place name Baoqi County. It was probably just a small place, and this jade-faced scholar was probably the one who stood out among them.

Thinking of this, Huang Yueshan felt some love for talents in his heart and said.

"My friend, the mountains and roads here are high and dangerous. It is too dangerous for one person. Do you want to go with us?"

There was a bit of surprise on Anle's face. He had never really thought about taking Huang Yueshan's route, but now that the other party took the initiative to speak, he had no reason to refuse.

If you follow the Huang family, you may be able to find your senior sister's whereabouts faster.

An Le cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, senior, for your kindness. Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

So, it was natural for him to go with the people from Yueshan Escort Agency.

The warriors around him all cast envious glances, feeling that the jade-faced scholar was leaning against a big tree.

The team of the Yueshan Escort Agency naturally includes not only Huang Yueshan and her granddaughter, but also several capable escorts.

In addition to offering a reward, they seemed to be escorting something along the way.

However, it was naturally impossible to mention what exactly was being escorted to An Le, an outsider.

The escorts were quite friendly towards An Le. They didn't deliberately make things difficult or pay too much attention to An Le. They were just passers-by.

The only special thing is that Huang Tianxin, the daughter of the Huang family, is extremely cold towards him and even refuses to say a word to him.
