When this team of more than 100 people drove into Qingshan County in a mighty manner, it attracted the attention of many people in the city. Because of the rain and snow for days, fewer people have been fighting here in the past few days than before, so the movements are naturally extremely eye-catching.

However, after someone saw clearly that some officers and soldiers were leading the way, everyone quickly took back their curious and snooping eyes. Obviously, the identity of this team is very unusual, so don’t worry too much. This made Li Ling and the others go in along the long street without any obstacles and head straight to the official inn.

The inns in small counties like this are naturally warmly welcomed the government and did not dare to be careless. Even Li Ling didn't have to show his identity. As soon as Yang Zhen came forward, he asked them to clear out several of the best courtyards and place this large group of people in. Even if they parked the coffin, the servants didn't even dare to mention the words.

They entered Qingshan County in the afternoon. When they were completely settled, it was already dark. After asking the inn to arrange some food for everyone, Li Ling did not go back to his room to rest immediately, but called Li Moyun: "Let's go and meet me with an old friend."

"Young Master also has old friends here?" Li Moyun said curiously. Although this is considered returning to Li Ling's hometown, Qingshan County is still hundreds of miles away from his real hometown Jiangcheng County. I have never heard him mention any relatives and friends here before.

"Why, you forgot?" Li Ling smiled and kept it a little bit behind his back. "You have met him a few times, but I haven't seen him after he really embarked on the road to imperial examinations... He is old, and I don't know if he is still strong in his body after these few years..."

Li Moyun blinked, and slowly thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face: "It turned out to be him, the young master is really interested. Then let's go here..." As he said that, he picked up an umbrella, hit Li Ling's head, and went out with him.

But just as they left the inn gate and were about to go east along the street, two men dressed in servants in front rushed over. Seeing Li Ling and the others, they saluted first: "Are you two here with Lord Li from the capital?"

"That's right, are you?" Li Ling looked at the two of them and asked.

"The youngest one is Wang Zheng, a clerk in the county government office. He was ordered by the master to come here. He wanted to invite Lord Li to the county government office to see him. I wonder if you can pass it on your behalf." As he said that, the clerk bent down to salute, looking like he begging.

"Oh? If the magistrate has something to do, you can come to the inn to meet Lord Li. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for him to behave like this?" Li Ling narrowed his eyes and said. Indeed, with his current status, even if he does not serve in the court, his status is far above a mere seventh-rank county magistrate. How could he be the reason for demoting himself to the county government to meet a county magistrate?

"This... the missionary, please forgive me. We are just following the order. If Lord Li has any doubts, please give this letter to him and he will know the whole story." As he said that, Wang Zheng also handed over a letter received in his arms.

Li Moyun picked it up casually. After seeing Li Ling nodded, he opened it unceremoniously. After confirming that there was no problem, he handed it over to Li Ling. The two on the other side were a little confused, but they didn't say anything after all. However, after quickly scanning the contents of the top, Li Ling raised his eyebrows and put the letter into his sleeves, and said, "Since that's the case, please lead the way."

"You are..."

"I am Li Ling, so I will go and meet the magistrate of your county." Li Ling smiled with his identity. It seems that the matter of visiting old friends can only be put aside first.

Wang Zheng's two bodies were slightly shocked, and then he quickly bowed to salute Li Ling, but was stopped by Li Ling: "Let's avoid red tape, you can lead the way."

"Yes, yes." The two of them did not dare to be negligent, so they quickly led the way and led Li Ling and the others diagonally opposite.

In fact, this inn is not far from the county government office, less than half a street. However, they did not go through the main entrance of the county government office, but took a detour and passed by the side of the government office, entering the semi-closed side door.

This is obviously a problem. As Li Ling's identity, it has given him great face to be able to meet a county magistrate in person. Now he has to go to the side door, which is really a bit rude. But unexpectedly, Li Ling was not dissatisfied with such an arrangement, and just followed them straight into the second hall of the county government.

Zhou Huanchen had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When he saw Li Ling, he quickly stepped forward to pay homage to him: "Zhou Huanchen, the magistrate of Qingshan County, had met Lord Li. Because of the reason, he had made me see me like this. I really offend him. I hope he will forgive me..."

Li Ling also took a step forward and supported the person: "No need to be polite. Since I have come, it means I agree with your statement in your letter. Come, go in and speak first."

At that moment, the two of them entered the public housing, Wang Zheng and the other two quickly retreated, while Li Moyun of course guarded in front of the public housing, preventing others from getting close to them.

After sitting down, without any greetings, Li Ling said straight to the point: "You said in your letter that there are people from the Imperial City Department who want to be unfavorable to me, but it is true?"

"How dare the officials deceive the adults in such a big matter, so it is true." Zhou Huanchen said solemnly, "The day before yesterday, the Hou Longtao, who claimed to be the imperial city commander, mentioned that he would attack the adults in my Qingshan County, and asked me to help... But the official and the emperor were both court officials, so how could he help them with such a crooked way, so he sternly rejected him.

"However, I obviously wouldn't give up when I see this person. There may even be other conspiracies in my Qingshan County, so I thought of warning the adults in time and make plans early."

Li Ling nodded thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhou is really mean. If it weren't for your reminder this time, I might have really been thinking about the thief. Very good. I have recorded this matter and have my own arrangements. By the way, do you know where he is hiding in the county town now? Can you help me take this guy off?"

"This... I'd like to forgive me. The official has not found his whereabouts. Moreover, with the ability of the Imperial City Spy, I'm afraid that your whereabouts have been mastered by them, so the best countermeasure is..." As he said that, he stopped a little hesitantly.

"But what is it?" Li Ling smiled and asked after looking at him.

"I am leaving Qingshan County immediately before they launch it. In this way, it will naturally be safe."

Li Ling looked at the other party with a smile, then shook his head and said, "This is not a good deed after all. I led people to cross mountains and ridges. I have been struggling to come to Gui County. I can't continue to rush around overnight because of some concerns, right? I just had a mere Imperial City Seiju, but I can't scare me. Okay, I already know the matter, so I said goodbye."

As he said that, Li Ling got up and walked out, but Zhou Huanchen was confused. He really didn't expect that Li Ling would be so calm after knowing that there was a person from the Imperial City Department to attack him, without panic or anger. What is his attitude?

During this moment, he forgot to get up and see him off, so naturally he didn't hear Li Ling and Li Moyun's whisper: "It seems that Wei Tianying's people are still unwilling to give up. The power on the Green Forest Road cannot be borrowed, so they actually have the idea of ​​the government's power again."

"It's really damn!" Li Moyun said hatefully, "By the way, what does County Magistrate Zhou mean this time?" The conversation between the two people in the room did not avoid him, so he naturally understood it clearly.

"It's very simple. He just wanted to not offend him, but he was a little naive. He had offended the man to death since he rejected Hou Longtao. He actually wanted me to leave Qingshan County as soon as possible, so as to put myself out of the matter. I can only say that this magistrate Zhou County has insufficient experience in the officialdom."

While they were talking, the two had quickly left the county government and only encountered two or three officials along the way. However, they obviously had received the order and turned a blind eye to both of them and did not even say hello.

After returning to the inn, Li Ling had already made a decision, so he just delayed it in Qingshan County and had to dig out Hou Longtao from the Imperial City Division before talking about it. Otherwise, there would have been such a bed bug that would have been following him, and it would not be clean when he returned to Jiangcheng.

Because of physical and mental fatigue, after using some food, Li Ling went back to the room to sleep. The sleep was quite sweet and he didn't even have a dream.

As a result, he was so sleepy, but suddenly woke up by a riot and shouting. When Li Ling looked at the window in a daze, he realized that it was still dark and it was not dawn.

But then, there was a bright light outside, and there were figures projected on the window paper. It was obvious that someone lit a torch and lanterns and leaned over. This made Li Ling even more and more strange. Is there another big man who came to visit the hotel? It's not right. At this time, can anyone compare himself?

Just as Li Ling wanted to ask the people who were watching outside, the door had been knocked, and then Li Moyun's solemn voice came in: "Young master, some soldiers suddenly surrounded the entire inn, they..."

Before he finished speaking, a rude voice rang out: "Bold, you dare to block the murderer who was arresting and killing the officer! If you dare to stop him, then you will be the accomplice of the murderer Li Ling, and you will take them all together!"

Li Lingmeng was shocked, and finally woke up completely. He quickly got up and put on his clothes, sank his face, and opened the door and walked out: "Who dares to slander me Li Ling so much!"

After leaving the door, the fire outside shone brightly, Li Ling's eyes were a little dazzled. He quickly covered it with his hand and looked forward, and then he gasped for a breath - because there were no less than five or six hundred soldiers around the small courtyard, and everyone was bowed and crossbowed and held up their spears. As long as one word was wrong, he could launch a fierce attack on the courtyard.
