From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"How could that be?" Li Muxuan didn't understand.

“Because although Huang Silang is bad, in the eyes of the people of Goose City, he is only bad. Compared with bandits and warlords, he is ultimately a ‘good citizen’,” Jiang Liu said. “That’s why it’s so difficult to get things done for ordinary people.”

If it is a member of the Quanxing sect who is bullying the common people, you can take action directly and kill them without any problem. After all, it is the members' own business to deal with their own affairs.

This is a consensus that has been held throughout history.

But Huang Silang was an ordinary person, and his methods of bullying the common people were by no means simple and crude, resorting to force.

This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with!

"What a hassle!"

Li Muxuan complained.

"Do you regret becoming Zuo Ruotong's disciple?" Jiang Liu asked.

"how is this possible?"

Li Muxuan immediately denied it.

So what if we can't have fun to our hearts' content anymore?

It's no big deal!

Seeing this, Jiang Liu smiled slightly. After all, he had led Li Muxuan down a different path in life, and as the instigator, he felt a little proud.

Day two.

Jiang Liu and the others checked out of their rooms and headed towards the north gate, only to find a large crowd gathered outside the gate. At the main entrance, a row of women were standing, banging drums and gongs and shouting loudly.

On the road that appeared to be a deep, murky green, but was actually only five or six centimeters deep, a group of people rode by.

There were nine people in total, eight men and one woman.

However, there were seven or eight corpses hanging on those horses, all with their faces covered and wearing hoods with mahjong tile patterns sewn on them, looking like bandits.

"Who is this important person?"

Li Muxuan was puzzled.

Jiang Liu pulled the three of them aside and said to a nearby vendor selling cold noodles, "Brother, do you know what's going on?"

"do not know."

"Give me four bowls of cold noodles." Jiang Liu took out his money.

"okay."

The vendor selling cold noodles immediately beamed with joy, served four bowls of cold noodles to the four people, and then said, "This is the newly appointed county magistrate."

"So you're welcoming the new county magistrate?" Lu Jin asked curiously, slurping up his cold noodles.

"What's there for us ordinary people to welcome?"

The vendor selling cold noodles sneered, "This is the wealthy man from the city welcoming us; he wants to curry favor with the county magistrate."

It was at this moment.

A man with curly hair and a full beard, and a man in a gray suit, strode down the street, followed by four people carrying a sedan chair.

"Is that Huang Silang sitting inside?"

Li Muxuan grinned, "How arrogant! The new county magistrate is coming, and he actually dares to come in a sedan chair to greet him."

"You're from out of town, right? Let me tell you, here, even if you're a powerful outsider, you still have to give way to the locals..."

As the vendor selling cold noodles was speaking, he noticed the shirtless residents nearby who had also come to watch the spectacle, and immediately changed his tune, saying, "They also have to make way for Lord Huang of our city!"

"There was no one in the sedan chair."

As the vendor selling cold noodles went to attend to other customers, Lu Jin suddenly spoke.

"Nobody here?"

Li Muxuan suddenly laughed, "Lu Jin, you're not being honest."

"He and you both cultivate the Reversal of Eight Directions, but in different directions. You focus on controlling objects, while we both emphasize internal cultivation."

Jiang Liudao said, "Everyone has a human magnetism. We can judge the strength of others' human magnetism by sensing their human magnetism. Those with strong cultivation also have strong human magnetism."

Inside and outside the sedan chair, Lu Jin and I could only sense the magnetic fields of six people. If the person sitting inside wasn't dead, then the chair was empty.

Lu Jin added, "And the bearded man who was leading the group had a stronger presence than the other four sedan chair bearers and the man in the suit; he was an extraordinary person."

# Chapter 49 My name is Zhang Mazi

at this time.

The scholar and the warrior in front of the sedan chair lifted the curtain.

Just as Jiang Liu and Lu Jin had said.

There was no one inside.

But there was only one white hat.

The gentry and women who had gathered at the city gate to welcome the new county magistrate hurriedly turned around and bowed to the white hat.

This scene is quite comical.

But Jiang Liu noticed that among the women banging drums and gongs, one was secretly watching the newly arrived county magistrate, as if anticipating something…

"Interesting, this is a show of force to the new county head."

Li Muxuan's family were merchants with a vast fortune, but his father was a low-key and kind man. Huang Silang, on the other hand, not only had a sedan chair carried to him, but also didn't come over in person.

This is outrageous!

Therefore, Li Muxuan, who also harbored a sense of arrogance, did indeed abandon the idea of ​​forcibly suppressing Huang Silang with force, and wanted to have some fun with him and see who was more arrogant!

"They've come with ill intentions."

The new county magistrate, however, remained calm on horseback.

"You are the one who came."

The older man beside him, who looked like a clerk, whispered a reminder.

The two spoke very softly, and those on both sides of the city gate could not hear them clearly, but Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Li Muxuan, and Ren Jiating were all extraordinary individuals, so they naturally heard their conversation.

"This new county magistrate doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with," Lu Jin said softly. "Brother Jiang, do you think they'll submit to Huang Silang?"

"Anyone who can joke in this situation is no ordinary person."

Jiang Liu replied without hesitation, “Of these nine people, apart from the old man who looks like a cunning strategist and the middle-aged woman who is somewhat attractive, the magnetic fluctuations of the remaining seven are stronger than those of ordinary people.”

But its strength is limited.

Judging from the insufficient Qi, it's likely that he has cultivated for many years, but due to poor talent in Qi cultivation or incorrect methods, he hasn't truly opened his Ren and Du meridians even in his thirties or forties. Therefore, he cannot be considered a true extraordinary person.

as predicted!

The upright-looking new county magistrate dismounted, ordered his brother to push aside the local gentry surrounding the sedan chair, walked to the sedan chair himself, took out the hat from inside, and put it on the white horse he was riding. He then mounted the horse himself.

It is obvious that this new county head—

"Overbearing a domineering aura!"

Jiang exclaimed, "He's a hero!"

This move was highly provocative.

He told Huang Silang:

Even if you have power and influence in Goose City, he can still ride you under his thumb.

Perhaps Jiang Liu's sigh was too loud, so much so that the new county magistrate heard it, turned around, and caught sight of four people whose spirits and demeanor were completely different from those of the people in the city. He had an idea and rode his horse toward them.

Jiang Liu and the others put down their bowls of cold noodles and went to greet them.

"Young men, and this... heroine, are you from out of town?" The new county magistrate asked with a gentle smile, inquiring about the origins of the four.

"Yes."

Jiang Liu clasped his hands in greeting, "May I ask what brings the County Magistrate to Goose City?"

"Whoa—"

The new county magistrate was in high spirits. He dismounted, clasped his hands in return, and said, "So it turns out that you, young man, are the one in charge. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"What does the county magistrate seek?"

Jiang Liu asked again.

The new county magistrate narrowed his eyes, then laughed heartily and said, "Come on, brothers, take these young men to the county government office!"

"Alright, big brother!"

Of the eight people behind him, only six responded. The remaining old man and the middle-aged woman seemed to be detached from the group.

This county magistrate team has serious problems!

Ren Jiating also took note.

Upon arriving at the county government office in the east of the city, the new county magistrate instructed his men to clean up, sent his advisor to gather intelligence, and arranged for the middle-aged woman, the county magistrate's wife, to rest in the back room. He personally poured tea for Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Li Muxuan, and Ren Jiating, and asked, "You gentlemen must be young heroes from reputable sects?"

"Without a sect or faction."

Jiang Liu shook his head.

"They're quite vigilant."

The new county magistrate, however, didn't care and pointed at Ren Jiating, saying, "I've seen this heroine perform at the Jiyun Society before."

Ren Jiating: "..."

Well, I thought Li Muxuan or Lu Jin would be the first to be exposed.

I never expected it to be myself!

However, the main income of Jiyun Society comes from its disciples performing ancient magic tricks for wealthy families, or performing in teahouses, inns and other places with a large flow of people.

Disciples from prestigious sects who travel abroad are almost never recognized when they go to other places. However, the disciples of Jiyun Society are different. Because they make a living by performing, they often show off their skills in front of outsiders, and their appearance naturally spreads outside. Those who pay attention will remember them.
