Chapter 193: Is the county town a place where you can act wild?

"Jiao'er, come here!" Cai Jinghong shouted to his daughter Cai Yujiao.

Without waiting for Cai Yujiao to answer, Liao Feiyu climbed up from behind the counter, covered his butt with one hand, and cursed: "Which bastard kicked me?"

Immediately, his angry eyes fell on Chen Xian, "Damn, was it you who kicked him?"

Wang Ming stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liao, I saw it clearly, it was him who kicked it."

Chen Xian glanced at Wang Ming coldly. If it weren't for the sake of Wang Cheng and his wife, he would have slapped Wang Ming to death. He was more disgusting than a fly in the toilet.

Liao Feiyu was furious and immediately called on his followers to catch him.

The next moment, all those burly men were knocked away by Chen Xian. They fell on the street one by one, spitting blood and screaming.

Liao Feiyu was stunned for a moment, and then he attacked Chen Xian himself. As a result, he was slapped away by Chen Xian. His face immediately swelled up with a bloody slap mark. When he fell to the ground, his broken teeth mixed with blood were spat out.

"Chen Xian, you dare to hit Master Liao, do you know who he is?" Wang Ming roared and appeared in front of Chen Xian.

Chen Xian grabbed him and threw him on the street: "If it weren't for your parents, I would have killed you long ago. What a thing, jumping around in front of me again and again."

"Chen Xian, you, just wait for me!" Wang Ming was extremely angry and quickly got up from the ground. He limped and went to support Liao Feiyu.

Liao Feiyu was slapped by Chen Xian. He was stunned. He shook his head and was helped up by Wang Ming. He glared at Chen Xian: "You bastard, how dare you hit me? Just wait for me...!"

Having said that, Liao Feiyu turned and left.

The five followers around him couldn't beat Chen Xian, and he couldn't beat him either. Wang Ming was also thrown away, so the best thing to do was to leave first.

"Chen Xian, you're finished, you're finished!" Wang Ming sneered before leaving.

He originally came to Cai's Jewelry Store to buy a birthday gift for Miss Cheng from the City Lord's Mansion, and by the way, he wanted to slander Chen Xian in front of Cai Yujiao to destroy Chen Xian's image in Cai Yujiao's heart. Unexpectedly, this happened, so Chen Xian also ran to the county town.

As soon as everyone left, Cai Lin also walked away, rubbing his face, and walked in front of Chen Xian, looking Chen Xian up and down: "Chen Xian, you are quite skilled now!"

He must know Chen Xian, but he hasn't seen him for many years. In the past, Chen Xian was bullied by others, but now he can beat others and even doesn't take Mr. Liao seriously. How interesting!

He said, "You are really cruel. You have been gone for so many years. My sister really misses you."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Cai Yujiao's face turned red to her ears.

Cai Jinghong also shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard?"

Cai Lin rubbed his face, turned around and looked at Cai Jinghong, and said: "Dad, why is Chen Xian not so good? Look at him, he is a handsome man, which young master in the county can compare with him? Although he was bullied before, now he even dares to beat Young Master Liao. He has turned over a new leaf, and you are still not satisfied with this son-in-law? You want to pick a..."

"shut up!"

Cai Jinghong was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He said angrily: "Beating Mr. Liao is nothing. He even killed the old mayor's family. He is an official appointed by the court. What else can he not do?"

"What?"

Cai Lin was startled. He turned to look at Chen Xian and asked, "Did you kill Liu Shifu's family?"

"That's right!" Chen Xian nodded lightly.

"Fuck, this is exciting, exciting!"

Cai Lin's reaction stunned everyone. He hugged Chen Xian, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Chen Xian, you are awesome. That old man should have died a long time ago. If he wasn't the mayor, I would have killed him!"

Chen Xian glanced at Cai Lin. Is he so childish?
Cai Jinghong was speechless. He pushed Cai Lin away and said to Cai Yujiao, "Jiao'er, come here. He is a murderer who has committed a heinous crime. Why are you so close to him?"

"Dad, Brother Chen Xian just saved my brother." Cai Yujiao said.

"Why should I save him? Does my Cai family need him to save us?" Cai Jinghong didn't appreciate it at all.

"Dad, you are so ungrateful. I support my sister on this point. What rich young man or wealthy businessman? Chen Xian is a military general. He is much more promising than them." Cai Lin said dissatisfiedly. He just felt that Chen Xian was powerful, and the fact that he had changed his outfit showed that he was doing well as a soldier in the border. Otherwise, how could he dare to fight Liao Feiyu?
"What military general? He is a deserter." Cai Jinghong glared at his son Cai Lin.

"Escape, deserter?"

Cai Lin looked at Chen Xian in surprise and said, "Brother-in-law, are you a deserter?"

Brother-in-law?

The group of people were stunned by this name.

Cai Yujiao blushed.

Chen Xian was even more speechless. When did he become your brother-in-law? Stop trying to make connections.

"No!" he shook his head.

"Dad, you heard it, right? He is not a deserter, he must be a military general. Brother-in-law, is he a general?" Cai Lin asked with a grin. He had wounds on his face, so his expression looked extremely funny in Chen Xian's eyes.

Chen Xian glanced at Cai Lin. Although this guy was a bit immature, his guess was quite accurate. However, he did not nod or deny it. Instead, he looked at Cai Yujiao and said, "Sister Yujiao, thank you for taking care of my father and sister when I was away."

As he spoke, Chen Xian took out two gold ingots and placed them in Cai Yujiao's hands.

He had eleven gold ingots. He gave one to Doctor Li in the town, one to his sister, and now he took out two and gave them to Cai Yujiao.

Cai Jinghong and Cai Lin were both stunned when they saw the gold ingots.

"Gold ingot?"

Without waiting for Cai Yujiao to return the money to Chen Xian, Cai Lin snatched it away. He had some gold ingots at home before, but they had all been turned into jewelry in recent times.

"Brother, give it to me."

Cai Yujiao tried to grab the gold ingot from Cai Lin's hand, but Cai Lin put it directly in his pocket: "Sister, I'm short of money now, just think of it as lending it to me!"

Looking at the brother and sister, Cai Jinghong's eyes turned black with anger.

"Give him the money!" He grabbed Cai Lin's wrist.

"Dad, this is given to my sister, not to you. What are you doing?" Cai Lin was extremely unhappy.

"Will you give it to me?" Cai Jinghong's face was full of anger.

“I’ll give it to you, give it to you…!” Cai Lin was speechless. He gave the two gold ingots he had packed to Chen Xian: “Brother-in-law, choose an auspicious day and come to my house to propose marriage!”

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Cai Yujiao blushed.

Chen Rong also smiled and said, "Yes, brother, Sister Yujiao has been waiting for you, you have let her down."

Chen Xian was speechless. Who said that one must marry his childhood sweetheart?

Although Cai Yujiao is indeed very beautiful, she is still inferior to Tang Can.

But he has no plans to get married now, and the most important thing he should do right now is to repair his soul body as soon as possible. Otherwise, if those mortal enemies send people to kill him, he will be doomed.

"Let's talk about this later." He looked at his sister Chen Rong and said.

"You don't need to tell me anymore."

Cai Jinghong glared at Chen Xian. Still thinking about the future? He grabbed his daughter Cai Yujiao and dragged her into the store. He looked at Chen Xian and said, "Chen Xian, I warn you, don't bother my daughter, otherwise I will never let you go..."

"father……!"

"Shut up!" Cai Jinghong glared at his daughter Cai Yujiao.

Cai Lin on the side pouted and muttered, "I don't know what they were thinking. Pushing away a son-in-law who you can't find even with a lantern?"

At this time, Chen Quan pulled Chen Xian, coughed and said, "Xiao Xian, Boss Cai is still doing business, let's not stand here, let's go back first."

Chen Xian nodded, looked at Cai Yujiao and said, "Sister Yujiao, I will stay in the county for a few days and live in Fengyun Restaurant. If you need any help, please come to me."

Without waiting for Cai Yujiao to respond, Cai Jinghong said angrily: "Go quickly, no one will come to find you!"

Cai Yujiao stomped her feet angrily when she heard this. Seeing that Chen Xian was about to leave, she said, "Brother Chen Xian, I will go find you!"

Chen Xian smiled and glanced at Cai Lin again before turning around. He saw that guy's eyes were rolling around and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Brother-in-law, walk slowly!"

When Chen Xian helped Chen Quan get into the carriage, Cai Lin's voice came from behind.

Then came Cai Jinghong's scolding.

Chen Xian looked back at Cai Lin, only to see Cai Lin blinking his black and swollen eyes at him.

Chen Xian asked his sister to get on the carriage, and then drove away.

At this time, Cai Jinghong turned around and glared at Cai Yujiao: "You are not allowed to go find him, do you hear me?"

"Daddy!" Cai Yujiao's face was full of grievance.

"Xiao E, take the young lady back to her room." Cai Jinghong glared at the personal maid, who quickly pulled Cai Yujiao away.

Cai Jinghong turned around and dealt with Cai Lin.

Cai Lin screamed and fled to the backyard.

On the street, the carriage curtain opened, and Chen Rong said, "Brother, don't you want to marry Sister Yujiao?"

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Didn't you see that Boss Cai disagreed?"

Chen Rong said: "But Sister Yujiao is willing."

Chen Xian stared ahead. Marriage in this world is not free. Just like in the ancient times of his previous life, it is all about parents' orders and matchmaker's words. If Cai Jinghong does not agree, there will be no future between him and Cai Yujiao.

Besides, he had never thought of marrying Cai Yujiao.

Gratitude is gratitude, and love is love.

He had to separate.

……

City Lord's Mansion. Zhang Tong came back in a hurry and went straight to the study.

"Sir, the Lord of Shiling City has replied to you." Zhang Tong stepped forward and handed the document to Cheng Guheng.

After Cheng Guheng opened it and took a look, a cold look flashed across his eyes: "Go to the Demon Suppression Division and ask Liu Bingfeng to come over."

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tong turned and left.

Cheng Guheng stared out the window coldly. The mayor of Shiling County replied to him that he didn't know who Chen Xian was, and that Zhenyao Pass had not sent back any news about Chen Xian, so he was left to handle it on his own.

"Without an official position, he is just an ordinary retired soldier. Killing an official appointed by the imperial court is a capital crime!" he murmured coldly.

Soon, Liu Bingfeng arrived.

Cheng Guheng told Zhang Tong the news he brought back from Shiling County.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingfeng frowned and asked, "Could it be that the documents concerning Chen Xian haven't come down yet?"

Cheng Guheng said, "Don't worry about it. Take him away first. Otherwise, if the matter gets to the higher authorities, neither you nor I will be able to escape."

Liu Bingfeng's face was solemn: "I can't catch him, please ask the city lord to catch him personally."

Cheng Guheng's face was solemn: "This city lord will cooperate with you, but you have to report it to your superiors, and the county town demon department will send people to help you catch the person."

Liu Bingfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and after a long pause he said, "Okay, I will send someone to the county city to ask for an audience with the commander."

The captain of the county city is a powerful warrior in the Lingkong realm, and he will definitely be able to arrest Chen Xian.

At this time, Cheng Guheng asked: "How is your investigation of Liu Shifu's evidence?"

Liu Bingfeng sneered, "Do we still need to investigate? There are yellow straw papers everywhere in Liuquan Town, and all of them contain evidence of Liu Shifu's crimes."

Cheng Guheng asked, "Did you search the Liu residence? Did you find anything?"

Liu Bingfeng sneered: "The things in Liu Mansion have long been emptied by the people in the town, and the account books and everything have been taken away by Chen Xian."

Cheng Guheng's face showed a trace of solemnity: "Hurry up and arrest him. We must catch him within three days and put him in jail."

Liu Bingfeng nodded. Although Liu Shifu had never given him any benefits directly, all the officials under his command had done so, and he indirectly received benefits from his subordinates.

……

Chen Xian placed his sister and father in Fengyun Restaurant, the best restaurant in the county.

"Xiao Xian, aren't we planning to live in Fengyun County for a long time?" Chen Quan couldn't help but ask when he saw that the cost of staying in a restaurant was not low.

"Dad, I won't be staying here for long. I'll be leaving after a few days." Chen Xian said.

Hearing this, Chen Quan and Chen Rong were stunned.

"Brother, where are we going?" Chen Rong asked.

She thought she was leaving the town with the intention of living in the county town for a long time, where she would be close to Sister Yujiao and could visit her when she had time.

"To tell you the truth, I have some things to deal with in the county, and then we will go to Fengtian City." Chen Xian said.

"Where?" Chen Quan jumped up from the stool.

"Fengtian City." Chen Xian said.

"Brother, where is Fengtian City?" Chen Rong blinked his big watery eyes.

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Fengtian City is the largest city in our Fengtian Territory."

"Where are we going and what are we going to do?" the father and daughter asked at the same time.

Chen Xian said: "I will take up the post and live there for a long time."

"Go, go to Fengtian to take up a post?"

Chen Quan looked at his son Chen Xian in surprise. After all, he was nearly fifty years old and had been out there before, so he knew about Fengtian City.

It is tens of thousands of miles from Fengyun County to Fengtian City.

He never expected that his son would take him and his daughter out of town, and their final destination would be Fengtian City.

I thought my son wanted to develop in the county.

"Son, what position do you want to hold? Why do you have to run so far? And you killed so many people in the town, will it affect your position?" Chen Quan asked a series of questions.

Chen Xian answered his questions one by one.

Chen Rong was curious and asked what kind of official Chen Xian was and whether he was powerful.

Chen Xian couldn't describe it to him, so he just said that he was more powerful than the city lord of Fengyun County. The little girl's eyes widened when she heard it.

Chen Quan's face was also full of disbelief. He stared at his son. Is he more powerful than the mayor of Fengyun County?

No wonder his son dared to kill Liu Shifu, but he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, there were hundreds of lives involved. He didn’t know if there would be any unexpected events during his tenure in Fengtian City.
Chen Xian didn't care what Chen Rong and Chen Quan thought. After settling them down, he told them not to go anywhere in the restaurant.

He also told Chen Rong to read "Qing Shan Jue" when he had time, and wait for him to come back and explain the words he didn't recognize.

After leaving Fengyun Restaurant, Chen Xian went to the County Chengxuan Division.

The Da Ning Cheng Xuan Si is an internal affairs agency in charge of civil affairs, household registration, land tax, etc. It and the Cheng Wei Si are both directly under the jurisdiction of the local city lord's office. At the same time, they also obey the orders of the direct agencies above, and then ask for instructions from the local highest official (city lord) before they can execute them.

The Demon Suppression Bureau is independent and is managed by the Kyoto City Demon Bureau, which cooperates with the local city lord's office to maintain public security within the territory.

Chen Xian wanted to go to Chengxuansi, because the courier agency was under the jurisdiction of Chengxuansi. He wanted to check who embezzled the silver he sent back from the border.

Although the silver was not much, it was life-saving for my father and sister who were in dire straits in the town.

He must investigate thoroughly and will not let anyone who has embezzled money go.

From bottom to top, those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be punished will be punished.

The unhealthy practices in Fengyun County must be eradicated.

Chengxuansi.

Chen Xian was stopped by the guards at the door, and he explained his purpose.

The guard frowned: "You are serving as a soldier at the border? Which border?"

"The Demon Suppression Pass."

Upon hearing the words "Zhen Yao Pass", the guard looked at Chen Xian in surprise. How could this young man come back alive after serving as a soldier at Zhen Yao Pass?

"Follow me!" The guard turned and entered Chengxuansi.

Chen Xian followed behind and soon came to a courtyard. There was a big word "信" on the wall outside the courtyard.

The guard stood at the gate of the courtyard and pointed to a doorway and said, "Go over and ask yourself, but I warn you, don't cause trouble here, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, the guard turned and left.

Chen Xian walked towards the office. There was a small black sign hanging on the wall outside the door with the words "Minxin" written on it.

The door was open, and there were many messengers busying around inside. In the back, at a desk, sat an old man with a mustache. He was drinking tea and wiping a Pixiu jade artifact in his hand, with a big smile on his face.

"Who are you looking for?"

A messenger saw Chen Xian at the door and asked.

Chen Xian walked into the room. "My name is Chen Xian. I'm from Liuquan Town. I'm a soldier in Zhenyao Pass. I sent a letter and silver from the border to my family before. My family only received the letter but not the silver. The letter was also tampered with, so I wanted to come and ask about the situation."

Hearing this, all the messengers in the room stopped their work, looked at Chen Xian strangely, and then their eyes fell on the old man who was wiping the jade Pi Xiu.

The old man put down the jade Pi Xiu in his hand, raised his head slightly and glanced at Chen Xian, but ignored him and continued to sit there drinking tea.

Chen Xian knew that the old man was a courier, an official among the messengers, and also a regular employee of the imperial court.

"Check it for him!" the old man said, glancing at a messenger.

The messenger was a man in his thirties. He handed Chen Xian to the side and said, "Liuquan Town, Chen Xian, right?"

Chen Xian nodded, and the courier began to check the registration records.

Because letters coming back from the border or going to the border are registered in special documents, all correspondence is recorded, and it is clear who received the letter and who delivered it.

The man checked for a moment and indeed saw Chen Xian's name on the text. "Seven letters in total?"

Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly. He had sent it five times, and the other two should have been sent by the original owner.

"Correct!"

"There is no problem receiving the letter. The person in charge of delivering it to Liuquan Town is Liu Jiang. He is on vacation today and is not here. If you want to ask for details, please come back tomorrow."

"We must understand this clearly today."

Chen Xian sat there motionless. He had asked Liu Shigang to investigate the town, and there was no problem.

So the problem is not in the county town, but in the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

"I told him he's having a day off today, so come over tomorrow." The messenger glared at Chen Xian.

Chen Xian grabbed him by the collar and said, "I told you, we must understand it clearly today."

"What do you want to do?"

The messenger was startled and pointed at Chen Xian's nose: "You'd better let go. This is the county town, not a place for you to run wild."
