Chapter 438 Respect? At least you have to be respectable!
"How could this be?"

Zhang Deben exclaimed, his face full of disbelief. His love for Wang Ruhai exceeded that for his own children.

It’s not that Wang Ruhai was promising, as he became a juren at a young age. His two sons, one who followed him was just an ordinary hunter, and the other who was sent by him to a martial arts school in the county to learn skills, but did not learn anything.

He would like Wang Ruhai more than he liked his own children.

First, Wang Ruhai has been sensible since he was a child, and second, his younger sister's family has not had an easy life. Like him, Wang Lin's parents passed away early and he had no help, so he adopted Dongzhu, a poor child.

If it weren't for his frequent help, the Wang family would not have starved to death, but at least they would have had to eat grass every now and then.

It was because Wang Ruhai was a promising student that the imperial court exempted his family from taxes, and they were able to live a good life.

Based on his understanding of Wang Ruhai, Wang Ruhai will take part in this imperial examination. He cannot say that he is 100% sure of passing the exam, but he is at least 80% sure. Once Wang Ruhai passes the exam, the whole Wang family will live a good life.

I never thought...

On the way to Beijing for the imperial examination, Wang Ruhai was attacked by a wild beast and lost his life.

"Dongzhu, are you trying to make your uncle happy by deliberately saying such horrible words to scare him..."

Zhang Deben still didn't want to believe this. The Wang family had finally gotten their wish after all the hardship, but Wang Ruhai was gone just like that?
Even though Wang Ruhai was just an ordinary person, he didn't want the Wang family to see their youngest child die. After all, Wang Ruhai was his nephew, and which uncle wouldn't like his own nephew?

Seeing Liu Dongzhu's silence, how could Zhang Deben not know that what Liu Dongzhu said was true? Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it. With a gloomy face, he said dissatisfiedly:

"Dong Zhu, such a big thing happened in your family, why didn't anyone come to tell me?"

Liu Dongzhu said with a disappointed look: "Uncle, our family just knew about this not long ago. I originally wanted to inform you, but I never thought that the first thing I received was the news of your death!"

Zhang Deben also felt lost.

"Zhang Shanshen!"

Wei Yuan suddenly spoke and called out Zhang Deben, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhang Deben frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Qingyang County!"

Wei Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. He was the magistrate of Qingyang County, and Zhang Deben was just a hunter under the jurisdiction of Qingyang County. How could he not recognize him, the official in charge?

Even though Zhang Deben has now become the mountain god of Lion Ridge and has some power, in his eyes, the mountain god of Lion Ridge is nothing.

Lion Ridge is an ordinary mountain range. Apart from its large area, it has no other advantages and cannot even give birth to a monster.

It is conceivable that the resources therein are limited. Even if there are some treasures, they are only treasures in the eyes of ordinary people.

Not much value!
The Lion Ridge Mountain God is naturally not a powerful god!

just.

When he thought of the mysterious man who attacked Tang Anzhi and almost took his life, and had even held him hostage at the time, if the other person had not had any feelings towards him, he was afraid that he would have lost his life here.

This mysterious person is likely to be involved with the Zhang family.

He could only suppress his dissatisfaction with Zhang Deben and dared not show it in the slightest.

"It turns out that it is Magistrate Wei who has come to visit. My son told me that Magistrate Wei, you came here to discuss something with me. What is it?"

Zhang Deben said calmly.

He was an ordinary hunter from Zhangjia Village, Wei Yuan was the county magistrate of Qingyang County, and Zhangjia Village was under the jurisdiction of Qingyang County. Normally, a hunter like him should at least show some respect to his own official, even if he was not respectful, but at this moment, he had no respect for Wei Yuan at all.

But there was no deliberate sarcasm!
It’s not that he became the mountain god of Lion Ridge and he didn’t take Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Qingyang County, seriously.

But over the years, Wei Yuan's actions never took Zhangjia Village seriously. When Zhangjia Village encountered difficulties and went to the county government for help, the people in the county government never took them seriously.

The people in Zhangjia Village had never seen the person in charge, let alone Wei Yuan.

In this situation, let alone him, I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Zhangjia Village who would not have an objection to a county magistrate like Wei Yuan.

before.

If he was still an ordinary person, just a hunter, even if he had a lot of opinions about Wei Yuan in his heart, he would not dare to show it, and he would have to pretend to be respectful in front of Wei Yuan.

After all, he is their father and mother official. Just a word from him is enough to find a reason to kill him.

Only when one can bend and stretch can one become a man.

He still understands this truth.

just.

Now he has become the mountain god of Lion Hill. In this small piece of land of Lion Hill, he can be called a local emperor.

Not to mention a county magistrate like Wei Yuan, even if the county governor came, it would be useless.

Naturally, he had no need to be afraid. Wei Yuan could kill him with just one word, so there was no need for him to pretend in front of Wei Yuan.

"Zhang Shanshen..."

Wei Yuan was concerned about the mysterious man and did not want to have a conflict with Zhang Deben, but he was still very dissatisfied with Zhang Deben's attitude and was about to scold him.

When Zhang Deben was asking him to be more respectful, he suddenly trembled all over, as if something had noticed him, and he was so scared that he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

'Is the mysterious man still around?'

Endless fear surged in Wei Yuan's heart like a tide.

He was worried that his attitude towards Zhang Deben had displeased the mysterious man, and was about to change his attitude.

Wei Yuan smiled flatteringly, but before he could utter any flattering words, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the person who was spying on him was actually Lu Tu.

Lu Tu looked at him unfriendly, as if warning him of something.

Zhang Deben asked in confusion: "County Magistrate Wei, what's wrong with you? If there is anything that bothers you, just speak up!"

"Damn it, you bastard, are you trying to threaten me and stop me from telling you the truth about Wang Ruhai?"

Wei Yuan quickly understood the threat in Lu Tu's eyes. When he heard Zhang Deben's question, he didn't rush to answer. How could he talk about what he wanted to discuss with Zhang Deben in public? When he was about to change the subject, he saw out of the corner of his eye that there was a missing figure in the hall, so he hurriedly said:
"Captain Lu, have you seen my Tang Gongfeng?"

He couldn't help but curse in his heart, thinking that Tang Anzhi was a beast. He was afraid that he and others would take advantage of him and others not paying attention and sneak away from here. He was obviously worried that Lu Tu would blame him for having improper thoughts about Wang Ping'an, and that Lu Tu might kill him, so he fled from here as soon as possible.

He was planning to divert the blame to someone else and didn't want Lu Tu to focus all his attention on him.

"You bastard, you run pretty fast. Aren't you worried about running into the mysterious man again on the road?"

Wei Yuan couldn't help but curse inwardly.
