Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

"What, Huang Yangping is dead?"

"Old Chen, what nonsense are you talking about?"

In the back hall of the county government, Ye Qingshan's expression changed drastically as he looked at Chen Shi, who was standing before him, in disbelief.

The day hadn't even dawned yet, and Chen Shi had already hurriedly woken Ye Qingshan.

"Yes, sir, people from the Huang residence came to report the case and are now in the county government office. It's Huang Yangping's sons and his wives and concubines."

Chen Shi's expression was no better than Ye Qingshan's; he also looked worried.

Who exactly did it, with such audacity to even kill an official of the court!

Most importantly, the perpetrator was able to break into the Huang residence and kill Huang Yangping silently.

It wasn't until dawn that the people of the Huang residence discovered Huang Yangping's death.

"There are also two other deceased: Huang Yangping's son, Huang Wen, and the shopkeeper of the Jia family pharmacy, Jia Sheng."

Ye Qingshan didn't pay much attention to the two deceased that Chen Shi mentioned.

He was more focused on Huang Yangping.

Because Huang Yangping was the Deputy County Magistrate of Qingyun County, Ye Qingshan's right-hand man, and his status was extraordinary.

To die so suddenly and inexplicably, Ye Qingshan, as the County Magistrate of Qingyun County, also had to bear responsibility.

"Is Huang Yangping's body still in the Huang residence?"

"Yes, sir. I immediately sent people to seal off the Huang residence, allowing only entry and no exit!"

"Old Chen, I must personally go to the Huang residence!"

Just as Ye Qingshan and Chen Shi walked out of the room, someone Ye Qingshan didn't expect appeared outside the door.

"Old Liang, you?"

Ye Qingshan and Chen Shi were stunned, and they both had a bad feeling in their hearts when they saw Liang Shanhai suddenly appear.

"Old Ye, Old Chen, three prisoners in the jail died mysteriously yesterday."

Liang Shanhai's face didn't look good either, and he rushed over from home early in the morning.

It was his son, Liang Cheng, who discovered it when he went to the county jail early in the morning, and then returned home to tell him.

Although the three dead were the assassins who had assassinated his sister's husband, their life and death still had to go through the county magistrate's trial.

Now that they had died in the jail, he, the jail warden, had to bear great responsibility.

Moreover, the murderer who killed the three of them was definitely not a jail guard.

As jail guards, they naturally knew the severity of their actions and would never kill a jail prisoner.

Of course, Liang Shanhai also noticed at this time that something was wrong with Ye Qingshan and Chen Shi.

"Old Ye, Old Chen, is something wrong?"

Faced with Liang Shanhai's questioning, Ye Qingshan said heavily, "Huang Yangping is dead!"

"What!"

Liang Shanhai was instantly shocked beyond measure by this news.

"Forget it, Old Liang, you first send someone to summon the coroner to investigate the cause of death of those people. I and Old Chen will go to the Huang residence first to bring back Huang Yangping's body."

Lu Mansion!

At this moment, outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, a fat man wearing the uniform of a yamen runner was vigorously knocking on the Lu family's gate.

"Open the door quickly, I am Liang Cheng!"

The next moment, hurried footsteps sounded inside the gate of the Lu Mansion.

Then, the gate of the Lu Mansion slowly opened.

"Young Master Cheng!"

Liang Cheng didn't have time to pay attention to the Lu family servant who greeted him. After nodding hurriedly, he strode toward a certain direction.

Before long, Liang Cheng arrived outside Lu Xuan's courtyard. After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and was about to step forward to knock on the door.

At this moment, the door slowly opened, and a tall and straight figure stood inside the door.

"Brother Xuan!"

Liang Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his cousin Lu Xuan knew he was coming.

However, Liang Cheng didn't think much about it and said anxiously, "Brother Xuan, something bad has happened. The assassins who assassinated my uncle have died in prison."

Liang Cheng got up early in the morning, originally wanting to see if the murderers had confessed.

Unexpectedly, after he went to the prison, he found that the yamen runner guarding the prison had fallen asleep.

The assassins who assassinated his uncle also died mysteriously. Their deaths were extremely terrifying. Their bodies were like a pile of rotten mud wrapped in the outer skin.

Therefore, Liang Cheng hurriedly notified his father and rushed to the Lu family to notify his cousin Lu Xuan.

Liang Cheng saw that Lu Xuan was not moved by his words and was still thinking of opening his mouth: "Brother Xuan, you..."

"What are you panicking about? Didn't you already guess the result, kid?"

Lu Xuan glanced at Liang Cheng meaningfully before speaking slowly.

"Brother Xuan, it was really you!"

Liang Cheng suddenly understood, and the doubts in his heart were resolved.

No wonder his cousin Lu Xuan specifically asked him yesterday about the location of the county jail.

After learning that Lu Xuan had done it, Liang Cheng's tense and fearful heart slowly calmed down.

After all, the deaths of those people in the prison were too terrifying. Even Liang Cheng, who was used to seeing dead people, was almost scared to pee by their deaths.

"Then, Brother Xuan, did those bastards reveal the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Damn, if I know who ordered it, I, Liang Cheng, will definitely kill him."

Liang Cheng didn't care about Lu Xuan killing people.

Because the people who died deserved to die.

Even if Lu Xuan didn't do it, Liang Cheng would find a chance to make those bastards suffer a fate worse than death.

Now that they died so quickly at the hands of his cousin Lu Xuan, it was a bargain for them.

"You don't need me to tell you about this. You'll know soon enough."

"I'll know soon enough?"

Liang Cheng was a little confused and couldn't understand what Lu Xuan was talking about. He left the Lu family in a daze.

However, Liang Cheng quickly understood what Lu Xuan was saying.

Lu Xuan silently watched Liang Cheng leave, took out a blue token from his arms, which was the Xuan Bird Guard token that Li Yanran had given him that day.

Lu Xuan had almost finished reading the scrolls recording the homicides in the county government, as well as the scrolls recording other cases, and found that there was no information Lu Xuan needed.

"Baidu Prefecture City?"

Baidu Prefecture City has jurisdiction over a dozen county towns, including Qingyun County.

Now that there are no more existences in Qingyun County that are detrimental to the Lu family, Lu Xuan can also relax and go to Baidu Prefecture City.

Since learning that above the Inner Qi Realm, there are also the Outer Strength Grandmaster and Divine Mansion True Person realms, Lu Xuan has been eager to leave Qingyun County.

Also, Lu Xuan is very interested in the antidote that Li Yanran gave his father.

"Xuan Yuan Root Liquid!"

Lu Xuan had never heard of this name before. He learned it from his younger brother, Yunqing.

Because when Lu Xuan used his inner energy to heal his father, he discovered that there was a power similar to the energy of heaven and earth in his father's body.

If Lu Xuan guessed correctly, that power similar to the energy of heaven and earth came from Xuan Yuan Root Liquid!

There is actually something in this world that is more powerful than a great tonic medicine.

Is it a treasure of heaven and earth? Or what?
