Chapter 380: Visit by County Magistrate
Outside the Zhang family yard.

A white-haired, spirited old man rode a fine horse, with a burly man carrying a sedan chair behind him and men dressed in constable uniforms and armed with long swords around him. They came to the gate of the Zhang family's courtyard and looked at the Zhang family members standing at the gate, one by one with curiosity on their faces.

Tang Anzhi got off his horse and said expressionlessly, "Who among you is the head of this family?"

"Sir, it's me!"

Zhang Chengze stood up and said respectfully.

"The county magistrate is right behind us. He may have something to say to you. Go and greet him!"

Tang Anzhi ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Chengze responded and was about to stand up to greet the county magistrate, but before he had taken a few steps, he stopped and said respectfully, "I don't know what your name is, sir?"

"Tang Anzhi!"

After saying that, Tang Anzhi didn't even look at Zhang Chengze, and led the horse to the stable that had obviously just been repaired, and instructed the people watching nearby:
"Somebody, prepare some food for my horse. I want the best fodder. Never mind. Just give him whatever you have!"

"Yes, Master Tang!"

Zhu Lancui responded and asked the women to leave.

Zhang Chengze looked at Zhang Chengyong's shocked expression and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Do you know this Mr. Tang?"

"Brother, even though I have lived in the county town for many years, I am just a nobody. How could I know Lord Tang?"

Zhang Chengyong laughed at himself and whispered, "This Lord Tang is the previous immortal official of Qingyang County. He is now the worshiper of our county magistrate!"

Tang Anzhi was originally an immortal official in Qingyang County. As he had been standing still for many years, he had no achievements except for his hard work. It was said that he had no backing. He wasted decades in Qingyang County with no possibility of promotion. He resigned and was recruited by the county magistrate to become a priest in their family.

The welfare benefits are a world apart from those of the immortal officials in Qingyang County!
At first.

The so-called resignation due to no possibility of promotion may be a nice way of saying it, but the real reason is to give others a decent gift.

"The last immortal official actually served as a sacrifice to our county magistrate?"

Zhang Chengze was also surprised.

The Immortal Official of Qingyang County and the County Magistrate of Qingyang County have different duties, but their identities and status are actually equal. Tang Anzhi, a Immortal Official, went to the County Magistrate's house to serve as a worshiper. In addition to surprising him, it also made him clearly aware that their County Magistrate of Qingyang County was unusual.

In front of the sedan chair.

Wei Yuan came out of the sedan chair and looked at the respectful young man dressed as a farmer in front of him. He frowned and asked, "Are you the head of this family?"

Zhang Chengze nodded.

"Your father is Zhang Deben?"

Wei Yuan asked again.

Zhang Chengze nodded again.

Wei Yuan continued to ask, "Has your father become the new mountain god of your Lion Ridge?"

Zhang Chengze nodded again.

Wei Yuan looked at Zhang Chengze speechlessly. He was like a mute. No matter what he asked, he just nodded and didn't know how to answer. Of course, he knew that he might be too majestic and scared him so much that he didn't know how to speak. He said:
"Take me to see your father!" "Mr. County Magistrate, please follow me!"

Zhang Chengze said respectfully.

Wei Yuan looked at Zhang Chengze in surprise. It turned out that he could - no, dared to speak.

The Zhang family members dispersed to both sides, leaving a wide passage for Zhang Chengze and Wei Yuan and his party to pass through, and then walked briskly towards the lobby where Zhang Deben's coffin was placed.

"This is the magistrate of Qingyang County. He is really, really wealthy. I don't know how much he has eaten..."

A member of the Zhang family spoke subconsciously, but before he could finish his words, he was hit by the Zhang family elder next to him and scolded:

"Do you want to die? How dare you say such a thing? If you want to die, find a rope and end your life by yourself. Don't bring disaster to our Zhangjia Village!"

although.

The bastard hasn't finished speaking yet, but from his tone, we can clearly tell that he can't spit out ivory.

Talking bad about others behind their back is never a good thing, let alone the person being talked about is the county magistrate of Qingyang County, their parent official. Once people start to make a fuss about it, the county magistrate who has ruined their family is not a joke.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, I can't spit out ivory from my dog's mouth!"

The Zhang family member who was hit was stunned at first, then he reacted and realized that he might have his old habit of saying bad things about people behind their backs. Although he had said a lot of bad things behind people's backs before, no one took it to heart and it was not a big deal.

But the one who is saying bad things now is their Qingyang County Magistrate, and he hasn't gone far yet. If their County Magistrate is sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, or if the people around him have sharp ears and hear what he said, not only their family, but the entire Zhangjia Village will be implicated by his sarcastic words.

A member of the Zhang family hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Tell me, our county magistrate has not been to our Zhangjia Village for decades. What on earth does he want to do by suddenly coming to our Shiziling?"

"Who knows?"

All the Zhang family members shook their heads. Although they knew that the magistrate of Qingyang County suddenly came to their Zhangjia Village 100% for Zhang Deben, they thought about it for a long time and could not figure out why the magistrate of Qingyang County came to Zhang Deben.

Lobby.

Wei Yuan took a look at the coffin parked in the middle. The surroundings were arranged in a very formal manner. I'm afraid it will be buried in a few days. He said, "Zhang Hunter, please ask your father to come out. I have something to tell your father!"

Zhang Chengze was stunned.

Not to mention Zhang Chengze, even Li Ping and Zhang Chengyong who followed were stunned when they heard Wei Yuan's words. They didn't understand why Wei Yuan said such a strange thing.

Doesn’t he know that his/her man is gone?

Although he has become the mountain god of Lion Ridge, he has not yet refined the Mountain God Order, so it is good enough that he can appear in dreams.

How could it appear in broad daylight?
Wei Yuan frowned and asked, "Why, Zhang Hunter, does your father not want to see me?"

"Mr. County Magistrate, we haven't seen my father in these days!"

Zhang Chengze gritted his teeth and said with an awkward smile: "If you want to see my father, you can only meet him in your dreams!"

"Hasn't the monster that occupied your Lion Ridge been dealt with?"

Wei Yuan snorted. Seeing that Zhang Chengze, Zhang Chengyong, and Li Ping all looked confused and obviously didn't understand what he meant, he spoke again:
"I heard that Lord Yu, the captain of the Demon Suppression Division, who came to your Zhangjia Village, helped you solve the monsters in Lion Ridge and took back the Mountain God Order of Lion Ridge. Your father got the Mountain God Order, but he couldn't even show his true form?"
