Chapter 1797: Chapter 964: Government Office

Yunzhou City is quite tranquil and peaceful.

At this time, there weren’t many people on the streets, naturally, because it was a hot day, so everyone was indoors.

Lin Feng was led by the city guards to the County Government entrance, where they stopped, Lin Feng addressed them: "What’s going on, forcibly binding people like this isn’t good." Though his words said one thing, internally he was secretly pleased, better observe the environment first before speaking.

One of the soldiers spoke to two other soldiers nearby: "You two keep watch here; I will go inside and report to the Master."

The two soldiers nodded repeatedly, saying to him, "Yes."

Seeing the soldier leave, Lin Feng casually muttered to himself: "Why oh why, I’m already here, are you still afraid that I’ll run away?"

The two soldiers glanced at each other and released Lin Feng.

"I must say, it’s really quiet here," Lin Feng strolled around, appearing carefree and untroubled.

While speaking, Lin Feng was actually thinking of extracting some information from the two soldiers. Initially, the soldiers had expressionless faces, but when Lin Feng mentioned that it was quiet here, they immediately began to converse.

One soldier opened his mouth, asking Lin Feng: "How do you know it’s quiet here? Everyone says Yunzhou City is overcrowded with people coming in but none going out, yet you say it’s quiet here." Although the soldier spoke quickly, there was a ripple of emotion in his heart.

Lin Feng’s gaze wandered around twice, smiling as he said to them both: "Isn’t it true that there have been frequent ghost disturbances here recently?" He spoke calmly.

Faced with Lin Feng’s remark, the two soldiers were taken aback. Finally, the other soldier couldn’t hold back and started speaking to Lin Feng: "You must know some spells, how do you know everything?"

Lin Feng looked them over; they seemed to be ordinary people.

"Let me tell you, if these ghosts are not eradicated soon, it will only cause more chaos in the future." Lin Feng spoke seriously, without any nonsense, observing the heavy presence of yin energy within the County Government indicating that he was encountering something sinister.

Lin Feng headed toward the County Government; at this moment, the two soldiers didn’t stop him.

But just then, the County Magistrate came out to personally greet Lin Feng; he came along with the soldier.

"Ah, Divine Doctor, your visit brings great honor to our county." The speaker was an older man, approximately fifty years old, just an ordinary person. This was the Mortal World, after all, predominantly ordinary people.

Lin Feng stepped forward quickly to look at the old man, then saluted him in acknowledgement of being met with hospitality.

"Who would have thought the Divine Doctor, so young, has achieved such mastery, a god-tier Alchemist is someone I’ve only seen once in my many years. Now, in my twilight years, I have the fortune to meet you, how blessed by the heavens I am." The old man spoke cheerfully, as if he had won a prize.

Seeing the old man’s demeanor, Lin Feng felt deeply touched.

He promptly said to the old man: "So you’re just here to see me, if that’s all, I can leave now." With that, Lin Feng started to walk away, but the old man hurriedly blocked him.

The old man said to Lin Feng: "Hey, hey, hey, don’t leave so soon, I have something important to ask of you."

Lin Feng knew the old man wanted something from him; he had said those words earlier simply to urge him to speak quickly.

The old man was dressed in luxurious garb, adorned with government official emblems, embodying the County Magistrate image.

Lin Feng turned to the old man and said: "If there’s something you need help with, quickly say it; otherwise, I’m leaving."

"Hey, hey, hey, Divine Doctor, don’t leave. This matter can’t be explained in a few words; how about we discuss inside?" The old man pleaded, showing utmost politeness to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pursed his lips, reluctantly said to the old man: "Alright." With that, Lin Feng stepped towards the direction indicated by the old man’s hand.

The old man anxiously looked at the two soldiers behind them; they were still wary of Lin Feng. The old man, in urgency, shouted at them: "Hey, what are you still doing here, quickly leave. Go, go, go..." Saying this, he drove the two soldiers away.

The two soldiers were initially stationed to guard the city gate; having delivered him, they relaxed and walked toward the gate.

However, one soldier was still a bit doubtful; the ghost disturbances in Yunzhou City were well-concealed by the County Magistrate, how did Lin Feng find out, could he truly be some high-ranking individual...

Time passed quickly; Lin Feng had been conversing with the old man in the County Government, and it was now mealtime.

A steward approached saying: "Master, dinner is prepared in full. Should everything proceed as usual..." As he spoke, the steward’s gaze clearly shifted toward Lin Feng.

The old man became anxious and quickly said to the steward: "Rubbish, if not earlier, then what to do now?" With a look of haste, Lin Feng couldn’t understand why the County Magistrate was so hot-tempered.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, the steward promptly saluted and nodded in agreement. Then the steward left, leaving only Lin Feng and the County Magistrate there.

This was the hall of the County Government, usually reserved for entertaining distinguished guests.

The old man exceptionally favored tea; today he used the finest Yunzheng to host Lin Feng, one of the specialties of Yunzhou, procured and sold to other regions.
