At this time, it was almost dark, and Xu Lian was riding a black horse on the busy street.
Suddenly he felt cold all over and had a feeling that someone was watching him.
When he first came to this world, he could already sense danger before he became a warrior. Now that he has the strength of the second level of the Ming Jin period, his perception has become even sharper.
"Who the hell is this pervert peeking at me?"
Xu Lian cursed inwardly, but on the surface he rode his black horse forward calmly, keeping an eye on his surroundings out of the corner of his eyes, making sure to keep his eyes and ears open in all directions.
The first thing he thought of was what Zhao Yuqing said, "Zheng Ren is a narrow-minded person who will take revenge for any slight." He had just humiliated Zheng Ren in Lingcui Building, and now he was being spied on by someone, and it was most likely Zheng Ren. Revenge never takes overnight.
"This is a busy street, and Zheng Ren is not in a position to attack me. He may be worried about causing a bad influence. If I go to a secluded place, he may not be able to resist.
However, there is no remote place from the commercial area on Second Street to the Lin family residence on Third Street. It is a busy area and he should not be able to find a suitable opportunity to take action.
However, if I walked all the way to the Lin family's house, it would mean that he would know where I lived, which was not good. Moreover, he might vent his anger on the Lin family.
No! I can’t let him know where I live, let alone know that I’m related to the Lin family.”
Xu Lian thought about it and came up with an idea.
Doesn’t Zheng Ren like to snoop
Then let him see enough... Take a good look at my dashing and heroic appearance!
then.
Xu Lian slowed down.
From the shopping area of Second Street, I walked to the night market area... and then to the residential area.
Then, we walked to Third Street.
After walking down Third Street... I circled back to Second Street.
Xu Lian felt a chill that came and went, which made him laugh. Obviously, Zheng Ren, who was hiding in the dark and spying on him, had a hard time following him, and he already knew that he was being led in circles.
However, this feeling of being spied on has not disappeared, which means that Zheng Ren has not given up. This makes Xu Lian even more alert. It seems that Zheng Ren has a deep grudge against him!
“Going around in circles like this is not a solution. If Zheng Ren doesn’t give up, am I going to go around in circles until dawn
I don't have so much free time to play with him.
Moreover, Pingyang County is neither small nor big. Sooner or later, he will be able to find out that I live in the Lin family's house, which will pose a hidden danger to the Lin family.
I have to resolve this matter properly, and I can't let it implicate the Lin family."
Xu Lian's eyes gradually became sharper, and he decided to teach Zheng Ren a profound lesson.
The best way to resolve resentment is to make the person with resentment feel a deeper fear... that way he or she will not dare to have resentment anymore.
"My current strength at the second level of the Ming Jin Stage is still a little behind that of a young master from a big family like Zheng Ren. I definitely can't do it myself, so I can only borrow his power and hire a thug to deal with Zheng Ren."
Xu Lian thought of the county magistrate.
The phantom of the egret hanging all over the county magistrate left a deep impression on him.
The actual controller of Pingyang County is undoubtedly the garrison commander. The word "garrison commander" is not just a casual remark. He not only controls all practitioners of various families, big and small, but also suppresses people who infiltrate from other sects, as well as deters all kinds of demons and monsters. The garrison commander must be very powerful.
However, the official chief official of Pingyang County is the county magistrate, who is responsible for managing secular order. In the Yi religion, the county magistrate may not have much status, but he is definitely more than capable of dealing with a young man, otherwise he cannot be the head of a county.
The most important thing is that no matter how powerful Zheng Ren's family is, they dare not do anything to the county magistrate, because if the county magistrate is touched, the garrison commander will have to intervene. Even if the family in the county is powerful, it is impossible for them to defeat the garrison commander, not to mention that there is the Yijiao behind the garrison commander.
Don’t think that Xu Lian could easily control the county magistrate before. That was because he possessed the purple jade token and had a purple-level identity background, so the county magistrate was obedient.
If it were someone else, anyone who dared to treat the county magistrate like this would be seeking death. Even the big families in Pingyang County did not dare to provoke the county magistrate easily.
Therefore, the county magistrate is a very suitable thug...
Immediately, Xu Lian turned his horse around and headed towards the county magistrate's residence.
He deliberately slowed down his speed, and was a little worried that Zheng Ren would lose him.
When they arrived at the county magistrate's residence, the doorman saw the young man who was invited by the county magistrate to drink last time. He did not dare to neglect him and hurried in to inform him.
soon.
The county magistrate came out hurriedly.
But the county magistrate's face looked a little bitter, and he might be thinking, why is this ancestor here again
"There is someone spying on me and following me secretly. Please, sir, please help me get rid of him."
Xu Lian dismounted, walked up to the county magistrate, and spoke in a low voice.
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened. "Who is so bold as to secretly spy on and follow the envoy? Could it be someone from some sect that has infiltrated Pingyang County? Should we report this to the garrison commander and ask him to take action?"
Xu Lian waved his hand slightly, "There's no need to alert the garrison commander. He's a young master from the Zheng family on First Street. He and I had a conflict in Lingcui Building. I'm still an undercover investigator, so it's not convenient for me to fight him. You can just deal with him. You can be heavy-handed, but just leave him with a breath."
The county magistrate should say “yes”.
Without any movement on his part, the phantom of the egret hovering around him flew away silently, wandering in all directions, looking for his follower.
soon.
The county magistrate looked at a corner on the left with a cold sword-like gaze, "Found it, over there!"
"Whoosh".
Xu Lian felt a flash before his eyes, and the county magistrate disappeared from the spot, leaving a trail of afterimages as he flew towards the corner of the wall!
Damn... Xu Lian felt a little cold sweat in his heart. Fortunately, he did not fight with the county magistrate in the dungeon, otherwise he would have died without knowing how. The county magistrate's speed made it difficult for him to keep up with it. Obviously, his strength was far beyond his, which caused him to be unable to see clearly.
Zheng Ren, who was hiding in the corner, had no time to react and was caught by the county magistrate in an instant.
"Bang!" The county magistrate raised his hand and punched Zheng Ren in the face, knocking him out!
Immediately following.
The county magistrate's body swayed, and before Zheng Ren landed on the ground, he was grabbed by the collar and thrown to the ground heavily like the most primitive way of threshing rice!
There was a deep fist mark on Zheng Ren's face, and he was coughing up blood from his mouth and nose. He had no ability to fight back in front of the county magistrate!
"You are sneaking around and hiding outside my house. What is your intention?"
The county magistrate scolded.
He knew that he had to help Xu Lian hide his identity, so he didn't mention the fact that Zheng Ren was following him, and simply assumed that Zheng Ren was hiding at the door of his mansion.
Just as Zheng Ren was about to speak, the county magistrate kicked him on the neck, sending his entire body flying. He fell to the corner of the wall where he had been before and fainted!
The county magistrate came back, bowed to Xu Lian and asked, "Sir Envoy, is this okay? Are you satisfied?"
Xu Lian glanced at Zheng Ren who was beaten horribly, smiled and nodded slightly, "Send someone to send this young man to the Zheng family on First Street, and give the Zheng family a warning."
The county magistrate responded "Yes!" and called a few people to carry Zheng Ren away.
Xu Lian expressed his gratitude briefly and rode away on his black horse.
