Longevity starts with eating monsters

Chapter 20 A visitor from the county government
Xiayuan County, the area south of the city.

Torches lit up the long night, and a large number of yamen runners flocked in. Song Kui walked at the front, looking at Lu Chen with complicated eyes.

There was no need for anyone to remind him, the tiger demon's body that was split in half and the paper scraps all over the ground said it all.

On the other side, surrounding the corpse of the tiger demon, the officers were all horrified, their eyes constantly staring at Lu Chen and Yun Wanrong.

".Judge Wen?"

"It's really that big bug."

"He was killed? Who did it?"

At this moment, Song Kui suddenly said, "Miss Yun, you killed the demon this time. The prison warden is very grateful. Why don't you come to the prison warden and sit for a while?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately focused on Yun Wanrong.

"It's just a small favor, Lord Song, don't worry about it."

Yun Wanrong remained calm upon seeing this. She first pressed Lin Yunying's shoulders to tell her not to talk nonsense, and then nodded to acknowledge Song Kui's statement.

The demons harmed the victims, and the disciples of Fengyun Sword House took action in anger. Just as the incident was about to be characterized in this way, a voice suddenly came from the crowd -

"Miss Yun did it? I don't think so."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd parted and two figures walked out one after another, both wearing official robes.

The former had his hands behind his back and wore an official robe with a blue bird in it. Although his hair and beard were all white, he was well maintained and at first glance he still looked like a middle-aged man.

In comparison, the latter was completely the opposite. There was a seahorse embroidered on his official robe, and his sturdy body almost stretched the robe apart. His face was full of flesh, and he looked fierce and ferocious. It was better to say that he was a bandit than an official, and the look he gave Lu Chen was even more malicious.

"Chen Zhubu."

Song Kui's eyes darkened slightly, and he said calmly: "Catching demons is my responsibility as the prison warden. It has nothing to do with the county government. You are meddling too much."

"Demon? What demon?"

The middle-aged man in the blue bird official robe immediately retorted upon hearing this: "The county is peaceful and harmonious, and there has never been any demon! Sir Song, please don't talk nonsense!"

Having said this, Chen Zhubu's expression also became gloomy.

"Talking nonsense can kill people."

"."

Seeing that Song Kui kept silent, Chen Zhubu nodded and softened his tone: "Then, let's talk about this tiger monster next."

"Master Chen actually recognized that this is a tiger monster?" Yun Wanrong sneered.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhubu's eyes twitched slightly, but he continued: "First of all, there can't be any monsters in the city. So this tiger monster must have been brought in from outside. Of course, I believe that the disciples of Fengyun Sword House will definitely not do such a crazy thing."

"But this tiger demon didn't appear earlier or later, why did it appear at this time?"

"Obviously! It's because the person who raised it and released it into the city had recently settled in the county!"

".This demon hunter."

At this point, Chen Zhubu's eyes finally fell on Lu Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed: "If I remember correctly, you just entered the city yesterday, right?"

"I'm afraid you were the one who let this tiger monster into the city and then killed it with your own hands!"

"You just joined the Prison Department and were eager to make achievements. Unfortunately, the city was peaceful and harmonious, with no demons causing trouble, so you directed and acted out this big drama yourself!"

As soon as the last sentence came out, Chen Zhubu's powerful voice spread throughout the city.

"Is this tiger monster raised by the police?"

"How can it be!"

"It's obvious that the police officer is standing up for us."

The victims immediately raised their voices of dissatisfaction, but as the burly man who looked like a bandit behind Chen Zhubu saw them, the voices gradually died down.

"You son of a bitch! Bullshit!"

The woman who first pounced on the tiger demon was still the first to speak at this moment. She was also a fierce woman. She stared at Chen Zhubu with a pair of red and swollen eyes, pointed her finger and started cursing.

"Trickster!"

When Chen Zhubu saw this, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"How dare you insult me? If I hadn't allocated food and allowed you to work in the city, you would have starved to death outside the city! You really don't know what's good for you!"

"I know right from wrong, and if someone is wronged, I will give them justice."

"Before that, I need to investigate and interrogate him. Come on, arrest him!"

"Yes!"

The officers around responded one after another, and then all walked towards Lu Chen. Under the flash of swords and sabers, the crowd immediately scattered in fear.

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhubu nodded with satisfaction.

The unruly people deserve to be punished.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Chen again and couldn't help but feel proud of his own cleverness.

It goes without saying that Judge Wen was killed by Yun Wanrong.

However, Yun Wanrong was a disciple of Fengyun Sword House, with a strong background and outstanding strength. Even if she killed the demon, he would not be able to deal with her.

But if this happens, he won't be able to give an explanation to the City God Temple.

If no explanation is given, the City God Temple will certainly vent its anger on the county government.

Therefore, he needed a scapegoat.

Lu Chen was the scapegoat chosen by Chen Zhubu. Taking him down would not only give an explanation to the City God Temple, but also give a warning to the Prison Warden.

And these unruly people who know the truth cannot be kept either, otherwise rumors will easily spread in the city.

Catch him first, and then send him to the City God Temple to deal with him. Maybe you can please the City God Temple and make them stop pursuing the matter.
Just as Chen Zhubu was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, Lu Chen finally spoke.

"My Lord said that I released the tiger monster into the city. Do you have any evidence?"

At this point, Lu Chen's expression was very calm. He just rubbed Lin Yunying's head to reassure the little girl, and said slowly:

"Without evidence, it's just a frame-up."

"Where is the law?"

"Wang Fa?"

Chen Zhubu came to his senses and saw that the officers had not taken any action yet. His face immediately darkened: "I am of the most decisive character and my words are the law!" After saying that, Chen Zhubu's gaze fell on Yun Wanrong and Song Kui again.

"You two, this is not just Chen being unreasonable. You all know that there must be an explanation, otherwise the higher-ups will not let it go."

"So I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

"What do you think?"

After saying this, Chen Zhubu pointed to the sky above his head.

"."

Seeing that Song Kui and Yun Wanrong didn't say anything, Chen Zhubu assumed that they agreed, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the officers.

"What are you still standing there for? Get started!"

Seeing the officers surrounding him, Lu Chen glanced at Song Kui beside him, and Song Kui sighed helplessly, then came to Lu Chen and whispered:

"At least don't kill anyone."

"You are joking, my Lord. I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Lu Chen smiled kindly, then took a deep breath, clapped his chest, moved his lips and teeth, and suddenly let out a loud roar from his throat!
"boom!"

a bolt from the blue!

This roar was like thunder rolling in the sky, and the huge sound waves swept out, as if causing a resonance, causing the whole street to buzz, and the surrounding houses to shake violently. The ears of all the people around were shaken by this roar.

The Yin Fu is complete, with the sound of tigers and leopards thundering.

With Lu Chen's current cultivation level, no one under the Yin Fu would be able to hear this roar. Without the suppression of his internal energy, his eardrums would even be shattered directly!
"How can this be!?"

At this moment, Chen Zhubu, who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai, covered his ears in pain and looked at Lu Chen with disbelief in his eyes.

He knew Lu Chen.

He was the one who issued all of Lu Chen's identity badges, but he thought that this was just Song Kui abusing his power for personal gain and trying to find a way out for his younger disciples.

He also knew that Lu Chen had killed the King of Jingyang Mountain.

But what is Jingyang Mountain Lord? He is just a perfect Yang Fire. The guards in his family all have this level of cultivation, so Chen Zhubu didn't take it seriously.

However, at this moment, following Lu Chen's loud shout, Chen Zhubu realized that he was wrong.

And it’s so wrong!
This person is not some small shrimp who got in through the back door, but a dragon that has crossed the river and is no less powerful than Yun Wanrong!
Looking back now, could it be that he really was the one who killed Judge Wen?
Did I hit the jackpot by accident?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhubu suddenly felt regretful.

However, in addition to regret, he couldn't help feeling angry and even a little aggrieved.

There are so many scapegoats in the city. If you had shown such cultivation earlier, would I not reason with you?

"you you."

Seeing Lu Chen walking slowly, Chen Zhubu subconsciously took a step back, his tone unable to conceal his fear: "How dare you attack the officials? Where is the law?!"

"Master Song! Hurry up and capture him!"

"what?"

Song Kui tilted his head and said, "Master Chen is so blunt and straightforward, how dare I interfere?"

"you!?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhubu became even more frightened and retreated quickly all the way until he reached behind the burly military officer who came with him, and then he showed a look of relief.

"Lieutenant Lin, arrest this thief!"

"a piece of cake."

Compared with Chen Zhubu, who appears to be powerful but is actually weak, this county lieutenant who looks like a bandit appears to be very arrogant.

Although his background is not as good as Fengyun Sword House, he is not from a small sect either.

From his perspective, although Lu Chen showed great accomplishment in Yin Fu, his martial arts style was obviously wild fox Zen and completely unsystematic.

Therefore, even if you are at the same level as him, you can never be his opponent.

What's more, he was also very unhappy with the way Lu Chen looked at him. It was disrespectful and even seemed like he was looking down on him.

Isn't it just killing a demon? He could do it, but considering the power of the City God Temple, he had always chosen to be tolerant.

Now that Chen Zhubu has spoken, he doesn't mind teaching this lawless boy a lesson.

However, before that, Song Kui took a step forward.

"My Lords, I still say the same thing."

"It is my duty as the prison warden to arrest demons. It has nothing to do with you two adults. You are meddling too much. Besides, it is getting late. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

After saying that, Song Kui protected Lu Chen behind him.

At the same time, Yun Wanrong also walked out without hesitation.

One was the chief judge of the prison department, and the other was a disciple of Fengyun Sword Pavilion. When the two stood side by side, the arrogance on County Lieutenant Lin's face seemed a little unnatural.

"You. You!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhubu was so angry that his fingers were shaking. Finally, he threw his sleeves and said, "Okay, okay, you want to be a hero? Song Kui, don't you think it's too late?"

"Okay, if you want to be a hero, I'll let you be one!"

"Let me see how you, a great hero, are going to explain this to the City God Temple!"

After saying that, Chen Zhubu turned around, while Lin Xianwei looked at Lu Chen deeply before leaving.

As soon as the two men left, the officers naturally followed closely and dispersed.

After seeing this scene, the disaster victims around them cheered immediately. The little girl Lin Yunying even raised her head with a proud look on her face.

Only Yun Wanrong and Song Kui had no smiles on their faces.

".Lu Chen."

Then, Song Kui turned around, his tone complicated and powerless: "Go, take Yunying away from here, the farther the better."

"If we don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Hearing this, Lu Chen also withdrew his gaze from the direction where Chen Zhubu and Lin Xianwei left, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, it should still be in time to take action tonight."

Song Kui: “.?”
