Chapter 385: Conscience? Who wants this thing?

'conscience?'

Wei Yuan smiled and didn't take Wang Lin's sarcasm to heart.

It's not just because Wang Lin is the father of this year's third place winner, but also because his words were nothing but short-sighted.

The last thing an official should have is the word "conscience". He didn't know how many officials with conscience he had heard of, but they wasted half their lives because of the word "conscience".

What Wang Ruhai did is consistent with the behavior of an official.

Not long after.

Tang Anzhi walked over dejectedly, and Wei Yuan couldn't wait to ask, "Tang Gongfeng, have you found the extremely vicious person who is lying in ambush nearby with evil intentions?"

Tang Anzhi shook his head.

He was particularly careful during the search, not only because he knew Wei Yuan's peculiarities, but also because he was afraid of death. Even though he was old, the bottleneck of his cultivation was difficult to break, and his death was approaching.

But he doesn't want to die yet!
He had seen the peak before, so how could he not yearn for it? He had also heard of countless ordinary practitioners’ counterattacks, so how could he not look forward to his own counterattack?

He didn't know whether the extremely vicious person who was ambushing nearby as Wei Yuan said was just passing by or came here on purpose, or whether he had good intentions or bad intentions. He didn't dare to gamble, he could only think the worst of others.

There are good people in the world, but there are more bad people.

When he searched the surroundings, besides being very careful, he was also extremely cautious, for fear that he might accidentally fall into the trap of the extremely vicious person as Wei Yuan said.

pity.

To his disappointment, he searched the surroundings over and over again, even turning the ground up three feet high, but he still couldn't find the person Wei Yuan had said was a very vicious person.

He was very suspicious whether Wei Yuan's talent had failed or he was hallucinating.

"How come we didn't find it..."

Wei Yuan frowned slightly. He clearly felt the feeling of being watched by a prehistoric beast. He felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Before he could finish his words, he saw Yu Die coming back from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously said:

"Captain Yu, have you found the extremely vicious person who is lying in ambush around here?"

"County Magistrate Wei, I didn't see the extremely vicious person you mentioned, but I saw this thing!"

Yu Die casually threw the fox in her hand to the ground.

"It's just a fox..."

Before Wei Yuan finished speaking, he heard the fox crying, "County magistrate, help me, I am Hu Jiusan, from the Jiutou Mountain Fox Clan, I have never done anything bad, please don't kill me!"

"Is it a fox demon?"

Wei Yuan was surprised.

"Fox demon?" When the Zhang family members and the Zhang family members in Zhangjia Village heard Hu Jiusan's begging for mercy, their faces changed drastically. Their faces and eyes were full of panic. They turned around subconsciously and wanted to escape from here.

monster.

They had never seen it with their own eyes, but from many stories that had been passed down, they knew clearly how cruel the monsters were. For example, the monster that occupied their Lion Ridge, even though he had never forced his way into their Zhangjia Village, they all knew that any hunter who encountered this monster in Lion Ridge would become his food.

Who knows whether this fox demon thrown by Yu Die will eat humans!
Yu Die smiled and said, "County Magistrate Wei, do you know this fox demon?"

"This, this, this..."

Wei Yuan's face was full of embarrassment. He secretly glared at Hu Jiusan and wanted to deny it, but Yu Die was not a fool. Since the fox demon had said so, if he still denied it, Yu Die would definitely be angry. He argued:
"Captain Yu, to be honest, there is a Nine-Headed Mountain in Qingyang County, where a group of foxes live. However, they had already settled on the Nine-Headed Mountain before I took office, and have never harmed humans. It is said that they are a branch of the Qingqiu fox, so our county government has had some contact with such harmless monsters!"

He couldn't lie to Yu Die, but he couldn't tell the truth to Yu Die either. He knew the Jiutou Mountain Fox Clan, and it wasn't just the county government that had contact with the Jiutou Mountain Fox Clan, he also had deep contact with a beautiful woman from Jiutou Mountain.

There were countless wonderful nights that he still reminisces about.

I sneak to Jiutou Mountain every month!

"Is that so?"

Yu Die's face was full of sarcasm.

Wei Yuan smiled awkwardly, guessing what Yu Die might have guessed. After all, the fox clan was well-known, and he was a good man. It would be a surprise if Yu Die didn't guess something. He changed his words:
"Hu Jiusan, right? Let me ask you, your purpose in coming here is to target the monsters in Lion Ridge?"

"Monster? The monster from Lion Ridge?"

Hu Jiusan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and denied it, "County Magistrate Wei, you know our Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan - ahem, you may not know that although our Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan is a monster, we are different from most monsters. We are kind to humans, so we have no contact with many monsters.

Like the monster in Lion Ridge, he was so bold that he devoured the mountain god of Lion Ridge and seemed to want to refine the mountain god order and become the mountain god of Lion Ridge. It is obvious that he is not a good thing. Even if he really becomes the mountain god of Lion Ridge, he is 100% an evil god. We, the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, will not have too much contact with them!"

He knew about the monster occupying Lion Ridge. The Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan was a local snake after all. They knew every little movement around Qingyang County. Even if they had never dealt with Hu Hui, they could still know what Hu Hui had done from other places.

And figure out what Hu Hui is going to do!
"Like This!"

Wei Yuan cursed Hu Jiusan for being brainless. If he hadn't glared at the beast just now, the beast would have sold him out. He completely forgot what to say and what not to say, and said expressionlessly:
"I remember you seemed to be the guard at the north gate of Jiutou Mountain Market. Ahem, since your Jiutou Mountain Fox Clan has nothing to do with the monsters in Shiziling, why did you run to Shiziling instead of staying in Jiutou Mountain? You are also spying near the Zhang family. What bad things do you want to do?"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yuan could not help but curse himself inwardly, obviously because he was so angry with Hu Jiushisan that he even revealed Hu Jiushisan's identity to let Yu Die know. He knew Hu Jiushisan and that he had a close relationship with the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan, but Yu Die did not care about this matter.

I was relieved!

"This, this, this..."

For a moment, Hu Jiusan hesitated, as if he didn't know how to answer.

"Hu Jiusan, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it!"

As soon as Wei Yuan finished speaking, he saw Hu Jiushisan looking relieved, and said expressionlessly: "But if Captain Yu misunderstands and thinks you came to Zhangjia Village to do something bad, I don't know whether Captain Yu will spare your life!"
