The First Golden Entry Appears!

[Zhang Miao, Demon-Slaying Captain of the Monster Slaying Division in Baling Commandery, Qingzhou, Dagan, was responsible for leading a team to inspect the demon infestations in the counties under its jurisdiction.]

[Recently, he had arrived in White Cloud County.]

[After half a month of inspections and visits, Zhang Miao had basically grasped the local situation.]

["Chief Officer Feng, County Magistrate Cao, the demon infestation in White Cloud County has been cleared, and the people live and work in peace, free from the demons' disturbances. The two of you deserve great credit. When I return to the Commandery Division, I will certainly report to Lord Demon-Suppressing General and record White Cloud County's merits in dealing with demons."]

[Zhang Miao was leaving, and the County Yamen and Monster Slaying Division, the two major departments, gave him an enthusiastic send-off.]

[Hearing Zhang Miao's praise, the fat County Magistrate wore a humble expression.]

["I'm ashamed, ashamed. It was all thanks to Heaven's favor. Those demons rarely come to our White Cloud County."]

[Feng Yucheng said nothing more. With a furrowed brow, he knew full well that the more he said, the more mistakes he could make, so he simply kept silent.]

[Just as Zhang Miao's inspection party was about to leave the city, a peasant woman suddenly rushed out from the crowd watching on both sides of the street.]

[With a thud, she knelt at the city gate, holding a letter high in both hands.]

["Lord Zhang! I have a grievance to redress!"]

[The fat County Magistrate's pupils shrank the moment he saw the woman, and he immediately gave an order.]

["Where did this unruly commoner come from? Could she be trying to assassinate Lord Zhang?! Men, drive her away with cudgels!"]

[Feng Yucheng was already speechless at this pig-brained teammate.]

[Do you even hear what you're saying?]

[Assassinate Zhang Miao?]

[Even I don't have that ability. Could this frail peasant woman possibly do it?]

[The fat County Magistrate had actually wanted to take the opportunity to silence her in the street.]

[But Zhang Miao stopped him.]

["County Magistrate Cao, she is merely a frail woman. Let her speak. There is no need to use force."]

[The woman knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.]

["Lord Zhang! Please uphold justice for me! My husband was wronged! He was honest and kind, treated everyone well, and all our relatives, friends, and neighbors praised his character without exception. He has never killed anyone!"]

[Zhang Miao sat atop his horse, looking down at the woman.]

["Madam, I am a demon slayer and only handle demon infestations. If you have a grievance to appeal, you should go to the County Yamen. This is not my duty."]

["Lord Zhang! It was a demon infestation! The people were killed by demons, not by my husband! The yamen tortured a confession out of him and forced my husband to take the blame for the demons!!"]

[At those words.]

[The fat County Magistrate grew so anxious that his flesh trembled wildly, and he pointed about as he ordered the constables to drive the woman away.]

[Feng Yucheng's expression changed drastically. He silently stepped back, placing everyone else in front of him.]

[The watching townspeople began to discuss among themselves.]

[Seeing that the constables were about to forcefully drive her away, Zhang Miao's subordinates immediately stepped forward to stop them.]

[Everyone in the Monster Slaying Division was a Martial Artist, and those serving in the Commandery Division were all fairly advanced in Martial Dao. Ordinary constables who were not even Martial Artists were no match for them.]

[Zhang Miao dismounted and helped the woman, whose eyes had swollen red from weeping, to her feet.]

["Madam, take your time."]

[The peasant woman sobbed as she recounted the unjust case that had befallen her husband.]

[It was broadly similar to the truth you had uncovered in your second simulation.]

[The County Yamen had forcibly pinned cases of the Demon Race harming people onto innocent citizens, fabricating murder cases committed by demons into murder cases committed by humans.]

[As she spoke, more and more townspeople emerged from the crowd, kneeling beside Zhang Miao and tearfully pleading their cases. Their family members had also been wrongly executed.]

[These people did not dare to say for certain that their relatives had taken the blame for the Demon Race, but they were certain that their loved ones had never killed anyone.]

[Zhang Miao looked at the densely packed crowd kneeling around him, then turned to the fat County Magistrate.]

["County Magistrate Cao, with so many people crying injustice, it seems you have not been competent enough as County Magistrate."]

[The fat County Magistrate sweated like rain.]

["Th-this... these are all unruly commoners, Lord Zhang. You mustn't believe their words..."]

[Zhang Miao cast the fat County Magistrate a contemptuous glance.]

["Good people, right here at the city gate today, County Magistrate Cao will reopen all your cases. County Magistrate Cao, you have no objections, do you?"]

[Even if the fat County Magistrate had objections now, he could only say that he had none.]

[The first peasant woman stepped forward and handed Zhang Miao a letter.]

["Lord Zhang, this contains the locations where all the demons in White Cloud County are hiding. A benefactor entrusted me to deliver it to you."]

[Zhang Miao accepted the letter.]

["I suppose this benefactor also taught you to seek justice in the street today?"]

[The peasant woman lowered her head in shame.]

[Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out from the crowd.]

["Lord Zhang! Feng Yucheng has run away!!"]

[Zhang Miao turned his head and waved his hand as he gave the order.]

["Pursue him!"]

[Several figures shot out from the inspection party, leaping onto the rooftops at astonishing speed and racing over eaves and walls in pursuit.]

[You blended into the crowd and witnessed everything.]

[That shout just now had naturally been yours as well.]

["It's done..."]

[Afterward, all the unjust cases were overturned.]

[The fat County Magistrate reopened the cases and ended up putting himself in prison.]

[Feng Yucheng had escaped.]

[He was a local tyrant, with plenty of escape routes.]

[The demon slayers from the Commandery Division and County Division followed the locations provided in the letter, bringing five hundred soldiers from the White Cloud County Garrison Camp to surround and suppress the Demon Race.]

[They returned empty-handed.]

[Zhang Miao did not suspect that the peasant woman had provided false intelligence, because they had indeed found extensive traces of Demon Race activity at those locations.]

[Zhang Miao surmised that the fleeing Feng Yucheng had tipped them off, allowing the Demon Race to escape.]

[At Chen Yun's home, after the dust had settled and Zhang Miao's group had already left White Cloud County, Shen Qingshan sighed to you.]

["I never expected Chief Officer Feng to be one of the people behind this either. I had thought it would involve, at most, the County Magistrate..."]

[With White Cloud County's affairs resolved, Third Sister's family should not suffer as miserably as they had in the previous simulation.]

[The Myriad Souls Banner would not appear for another seventeen years. You could not spend all that time staying at home; there were still things you could do.]

["Brother-in-law, do you know the Chixin Sect?"]

["I do. It is a second-rate sect in our Baling Commandery. What, do you want to take a master?"]

["Exactly. But I only have a Low-Grade Bone Structure. I don't know whether they would be willing to accept me."]

["If you truly wish to go, I can make an introduction for you. Though your brother-in-law's realm is not high, the Shen Family's ancestors were old acquaintances with an Elder of the Chixin Sect. Getting you through their gates should not be difficult."]

["That's wonderful!"]

Outside the simulation, Chen Yi fell into thought as he watched the contents of the first year's simulation come to an end.

"This method can be replicated in reality as well to wipe out Feng Yucheng and his lot."

He could make preparations in advance then, preventing Feng Yucheng from escaping and truly catching them all in one net!

Just then, the simulation text before Chen Yi's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light!

[Second Year, Age Nineteen.]
