The county committee and the county government are separate organizations, with two large buildings not far apart. From the outside, they look very old and rundown, which is quite fitting for a poor county.
However, the evidence provided by Lin Zhi’s father shows that the county leaders are anything but poor.
There is security at the entrance and there are also people coming in and out for business every day. In addition, Shen Ye and his group look particularly handsome and well-dressed, not at all like troublemakers. The security guards just looked at them curiously and did not stop them.
Shen Ye went directly to the leader’s office.
It was early in the morning and the staff had just started working. They were a bit confused when they saw Shen Ye coming in aggressively.
“Who are you looking for?” someone stepped forward to block them.
“We’re looking for Secretary Wang!” Shen Ye said.
Secretary Wang is a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly chubby and quite friendly-looking. He was enjoying a cup of Pu’er tea when Shen Ye rushed in. He couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Are you here to cause trouble?”
The people in Linqing County are quite fierce. There are often people who come to the building to make trouble over trivial matters, but because many people have relatives and acquaintances in the county government, everyone turns a blind eye as long as no one gets hurt.
But Shen Ye and his group look expensive and have an unmistakable air of nobility about them. They don’t look like locals from Linqing County at all.
Secretary Wang was a bit suspicious and quietly signaled the office director to call the police station.
Of course, Shen Ye noticed Secretary Wang’s look. This time they only brought two bodyguards and the military district leader also only brought two of his own men, but Shen Ye has magical talismans and is not afraid of conflict, so he didn’t stop Secretary Wang.
“I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to ask you where is the old Taoist you are worshiping.” Shen Ye said.
Secretary Wang’s face changed.
The leaders of the county did indeed worship a Taoist priest, but this was kept a secret. How did this young man, who appeared to be quite young, know about the Taoist priest?
As a government official, he was not supposed to engage in superstitious activities. This made Secretary Wang even more cautious.
Shen Ye crossed his arms and waited for Secretary Wang’s response.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Secretary Wang said, putting his teacup down and coldly instructing his staff, “Get them out of here!”
Since Secretary Wang knew that Shen Ye and his team were up to no good, he could no longer remain friendly. He had even decided that if Shen Ye continued to talk about the Taoist priest, he would just have him arrested. Even if the other party had a powerful background, he wasn’t afraid with the Taoist priest on his side!
The staff immediately came forward to pull Shen Ye away but Shen Ye simply drew a few talismans and the people were frozen in place, unable to move.
Secretary Wang squinted his eyes.
He had seen the Taoist priest’s abilities and knew that the young man in front of him was also knowledgeable in Taoism. He was suddenly filled with fear.
“Bring the Taoist priest here!” Shen Ye stepped closer to Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang was a bit frightened and stepped back, thinking about what to do.
If the situation were to be exposed, their team would not only lose their future prospects, but it would also drag a long line of people and events behind them.
But…he was also very clear that he was not capable of dealing with this young man.
It would be better to call the Taoist priest over. The Taoist priest must have a way to subdue this person.
Secretary Wang immediately made a decision: “Okay, I’ll contact him!”
Shen Ye sneered, Secretary Wang gave in so quickly.
But he could also guess that this Secretary Wang was very cunning and would probably call the Taoist priest to deal with him.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid. He was even looking forward to it.
While waiting for the old Taoist, Shen Ye looked at Secretary Wang and said, “Most of the money you embezzled was given to the old Taoist as filial piety, right? You worship him and he ensures your promotion and wealth, right?”
Secretary Wang knew Shen Ye was capable, so he kept his mouth shut.
Shen Ye turned to Ye Ze and said, “Uncle, help me film this.”
Ye Ze nodded.
Zong Yiming was Ye Ze’s life assistant, and for such small matters, Ye Ze wouldn’t have to lift a finger. He immediately opened his phone’s camera.
Ye Ze looked at him indifferently.
Zong Yiming understood.
Because it was Shen Ye who spoke, his master wanted to do it himself.
Secretary Wang saw Ye Ze taking out his phone to film and became even more reluctant to speak.
Shen Ye calmly said, “You have been neglecting the road in Lishan Village because the old Taoist asked you to build a Taoist temple on the mountaintop where outsiders couldn’t find it, right?”
Secretary Wang stared in shock.
He could even figure that out?!
The old Taoist had said at the time that it was impossible for outsiders to know about this matter because he had cast a spell to cut off external perception.
Shen Ye continued coldly, “The temple should be almost finished by now, right? What does the old Taoist plan to do after it’s completed?”
Secretary Wang no longer dared to look directly at Shen Ye and pretended to be ignorant by lowering his head.
Shen Ye didn’t waste any more words on him and directly put a talisman on him, saying, “Speak up, is the old Taoist planning to use the children in Lishan Village for sacrifice after building the temple?”
This was the reason for his anger. He had figured out that the old Taoist was planning to use the village’s children for sacrifice!
Without repairing the road, the scenic area cannot be built, and the outside view will be blocked. This matter will not be discovered.
The old Taoist even cast a spell to gradually cut off the connection between the people in Lishan Village and the outside world.
Secretary Wang was controlled by the talisman and could only tell the truth: “Uh, the old Taoist said that the Taoist temple will be built next month. When a boy and a girl are sacrificed, the matter will be done.”
Shen Ye’s face turned cold: “Did he tell you that once the matter is done, you will have a smooth career and rise all the way to the top?”
Secretary Wang nodded again.
The old Taoist did say such things and that was why they cooperated with him.
Who wouldn’t want to advance in their career and become rich?
Even some officials in the city and the province believed in the old Taoist, which was why they were so unscrupulous in the county.
Before, Secretary Wang was still complacent that Lishan Village was a Fengshui treasure and was chosen by the old Taoist.
He even dreamed of being transferred to the province and climbing to an even higher position.
The surrounding staff did not understand where the old Taoist came from and when they heard such big news, they began to whisper.
Even Shen Shimu who followed was confused.
Using boys and girls for sacrifice… was there really such a depraved thing in the world?
But the county leaders actually believed it and aided the tyrant!
Fortunately, Shen Ye discovered it in time, otherwise, the entire village of Lishan would suffer.
“Did you record it?” Shen Ye turned to ask Ye Ze.
Ye Ze nodded.
Shen Ye handed the video to the military district leaders.
This video should serve as evidence. Even if it cannot, it can still allow them to interrogate based on the content of the video.
Shen Ye whispered to Ye Ze, “We still have to go to Lishan Village. There must be something wrong with that Taoist temple.”
The voice in his heart grew louder and louder, telling him that he must go.
Ye Ze patted his head and said, “It’s already arranged.”
The mountain road to Lishan Village is very steep and only local experienced drivers have the confidence to safely drive up and down the mountain. Before coming to the county committee building, Ye Ze had already considered this issue and arranged for someone to take care of it.
Shen Ye’s eyes shone and he couldn’t control the cheesy romantic words in his heart. He blurted out, “Uncle, you really resemble someone.”
Ye Ze silently prepared himself mentally.
Shen Ye: “That someone is my man!”
Ye Ze: “…”
Shen Shimu listened from the side and thought that this cheesy love talk was quite pleasing. He could see from the expression of his boss that he was completely hooked. Suddenly, he wanted to write it down with a pen and use it later when pursuing his girlfriend.
If Ye Ze knew what Shen Shimu was thinking, he would definitely tell him that it wasn’t the expression of wanting to pounce on someone… Well, come to think of it, it was probably close enough. Ye Ze wanted to use action to shut Shen Ye up, so he wouldn’t be subjected to cheesy love talk anymore.
But there were too many people around, so he held back.
Shen Ye had just finished casting a spell to remove the talisman from Secretary Wang, who now knew that he had revealed everything. He sat in his chair like a dead man, but Shen Ye paid him no attention. He continued to whisper sweet nothings into Ye Ze’s ear, waiting for the arrival of the old Taoist.
The old Taoist arrived soon after.
Although the situation wasn’t good for him to go out today, he came anyway because he was summoned by Secretary Wang.
The moment he saw Shen Ye, the old Taoist felt a sense of fear and danger.
Shen Ye walked straight up to him and asked, “Do you know Taoist Shang Qing?”
Taoist Shang Qing was Yang Yuhan’s master, whom Shen Ye had killed on Mingfeng Mountain.
The old Taoist said, “You know my senior brother?!”
Shen Ye raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he was indeed related to that smelly Taoist.
He remembered that Taoist Shang Qing had said that he and his three other brothers had gone to Qilian Mountain to seek ancient methods. After obtaining the secret scripture, they went their separate ways.
It seemed that the old Taoist in front of him was one of the four brothers.
Taoist Shang Qing had been showing off in a bustling city like Haicheng, while this old Taoist was hiding in a mountainous area like Linjiang County. Although they had different methods, they both harmed people!
Shen Ye said, “I’ve already killed Taoist Shang Qing.”
The old Taoist showed a look of horror, but then quickly calmed down.
Although his senior brother’s cultivation wasn’t as good as his, his formation techniques were outstanding… How could this little brat in front of him deal with his senior brother’s formation?
The other party must be exaggerating.
“Little kid, you are boasting a bit too much.” The old Taoist revealed his magical instrument.
It was a peach wood sword. The whole sword was filled with Yin energy, probably having done a lot of bad things.
“Did you get it from Qi Lian Mountain?” From the moment the old Taoist entered the door, Shen Ye’s attention was on the peach wood sword. He looked at it for a while and shook his head. “It shouldn’t be. This peach wood sword is much older than the peach wood jade brush that was found in Qi Lian Mountain.”
The old Taoist stared at Shen Ye and felt a little nervous.
This kid actually knows about Qi Lian Mountain… Could it be that his senior brother was really killed?
Regardless, he had to subdue the kid first. Otherwise, if the truth was revealed, none of them would have a good outcome.
The old Taoist directly attacked Shen Ye with the peach wood sword.
Shen Ye did not dodge or evade, instead, he waved his hand and met the sword with his own force.
The old Taoist was shaken back repeatedly and after a few seconds, he silently spat out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
He was defeated so thoroughly with just one move from the kid, how was this possible?
Without waiting for him to recover, Shen Ye cast a spell that immobilized him.
“This is impossible!” The old Taoist shouted, “How could you be so powerful! There can’t be such powerful techniques in this world!”
He had practiced swordsmanship his whole life and the peach wood sword was a treasure left by the ancestor. He was the most powerful in the sect when it came to techniques. He never lost to his senior brother in a duel before.
Shen Ye sneered.
This world was no longer suitable for cultivation. So of course, he could crush these people.
He looked coldly at the old Taoist. “What did you get from Qi Lian Mountain? Is it hidden under the altar?”
