Business routes were interrupted and all businesses came to a halt. With the arrival of the bloody guards from the Duwei Yamen, the prosperous Guangping County fell into a state of internal and external isolation overnight.
Two fifth-level martial sects personally took charge, mobilized a powerful force stationed at Xilaoguan, surrounded the entire county, and launched a comprehensive investigation on a grand scale.
One of the martial arts masters also brought a special magic weapon to identify monsters.
Wang Chen didn't expect that the Duwei Yamen would take this case so seriously that it would dig up the county seat three feet into the ground and dig out all the suspects before giving up.
Later he found out that it was precisely because he discovered the Demon Ascension Pond under the Peony Building that the Duwei Yamen paid great attention to it and not only reported it to the Imperial Capital, but also sent elite troops to come.
The seriousness of the matter is beyond everyone’s imagination!
But after completing the case report, Wang Chen was excluded from the investigation and detective ranks. Even though he showed a keen insight into demons, he did not participate in the follow-up work.
He didn't care, but felt relaxed.
It's just that the families of all sizes in Guangping City, including some local tycoons and merchants, suffered.
No matter how majestic they usually are, under the joint pressure of the bloody guards of the Duwei Yamen and the strong troops of Xilaoguan, they can't even make a small splash and can only lie down and let them be copied.
In fact, many families are not clean, and it is normal for prohibited items to be confiscated.
When encountering such a situation, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Under normal circumstances, you will bleed hard and give an explanation and it will be over.
But there are also a very small number of people who want money rather than their lives. They try to argue or even resist, and then they are immediately suppressed with an iron fist!
Some of them harbor criminal thieves and wanted criminals, or they collude with those who rebel against the Party and heretics.
That fate is even more tragic.
In short, this turmoil cannot subside with the passage of time, but it has become more and more intense.
It even spread to areas close to Quang Binh.
It made countless people tremble.
As the initiator of this huge turmoil, Wang Chen lived in the house provided by Duan Yongfeng. He stayed locked up for days and concentrated on practicing martial arts.
Although his mission has been completed, he is still unable to leave Guangping County without further orders from above because he is too deeply involved.
Three more days passed in a flash.
This morning, Wang Chen was practicing his magic-killing spear skills in the small courtyard. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard, and a respectful voice came from outside: "Excuse me, is Lord Qianhu here? The Zhong family of Guangping is here to visit.
"
Guangping Zhongjia?
Wang Chen was slightly startled.
He didn't have any interpersonal relationships here, and he didn't know anything about the Zhong family in Guangping. This temporary house was arranged by Duan Yongfeng. He was wondering how the other party found his way to his door.
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen put away his spear, went over and opened the door.
I saw three people standing in front of the door. In the middle was an imposing middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe. On the left and right were a beautiful woman with a delicate appearance and an old man with white hair carrying a box.
Um?
Wang Chen didn't recognize the middle-aged man in front of him or the white-haired old man next to him.
But he had an impression of this charming woman. She was none other than Zhong Yingyao, who was betting against her at the Yum Casino that day!
It's just that the Zhong Yingyao he saw that day was beautiful and sassy, with an unruly wildness, but now Zhong Yingyao looks like a frightened little rabbit, with red eyes that look pitiful.
This made Wang Chen wonder if the other party was the same person!
The contrast is too great.
Wang Chen couldn't help but take a second look.
As a result, this move was seen by the middle-aged man, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly saluted and said: "Master Wang, I, Zhong Zhenshan, the head of the Zhong family in Guangping, please forgive me for your unpretentious visit today."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Wang Chen, his attitude seemed very humble.
Zhong Yingyao and the white-haired old man also saluted.
"No need to be polite."
Wang Chen said calmly: "Come in and talk."
Although Wang Chen didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, it was obvious that he was not a bad visitor.
When the people were brought into the living room, Wang Chen motioned for them to sit down, and then said bluntly: "Master Zhong, what do you want from me?"
There is no maid in his house, and the process of making tea and entertaining guests is omitted.
Zhong Zhenshan, who had just sat down, hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the white-haired old man standing beside him.
The latter immediately placed the box he was carrying on the table.
Zhong Zhenshan swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Master Wang, my little girl is ignorant and offended you at Peony House a few days ago. It's all because of my lax upbringing. She really deserves death!"
He opened the lid of the box and saw that it was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, and the colors were dazzling.
"This is my apology. I hope you will be more generous!"
Wang Chen didn't say anything, he just reached out and grabbed a handful of jewelry and put it down again, feeling quite strange.
He had forgotten everything about Zhong Yingyao a long time ago and didn't even take it to heart at the time. How could he keep it in his heart?
Unexpectedly, the head of the Zhong family would bring his daughter to the house to apologize.
There must be a reason for this!
Thinking of the fact that the bloody guards of the Duwei Yamen had been searching the whole city in the past few days, Wang Chen understood more or less.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhong Zhenshan gritted his teeth and said again: "I heard that the master is living in seclusion here and has no one around him. Why not let my little girl serve the master and do some cleaning, cleaning and making the bed and quilts."
Next to her, Zhong Yingyao's pretty face turned red, but her appearance became even more beautiful.
There is a saying that although she is not a stunning beauty, her appearance and figure are remarkable. I don’t know how Zhong Zhenshan usually teaches her to raise such a daughter who is different from ordinary rich ladies!
At this point, Zhong Zhenshan’s meaning is very clear.
He obviously wanted to marry Wang Chen by giving away his daughter. In all likelihood, the Zhong family was in trouble and had no choice but to use this method to get out of trouble.
And Zhong Zhenshan must have had a relationship with Duan Yongfeng.
Wang Chen thought about it, roughly sorted out the context of the matter, and said: "I accept this apology. Take your daughter back with you. I don't need anyone to serve me."
He had no intention of embarrassing the Zhong family, and accepting the gift was just to make the other party feel at ease and avoid other troubles.
As for Zhong Yingyao, I can’t thank you enough.
Zhong Zhenshan obviously didn't expect Wang Chen to accept money but not people, and he didn't want his charming daughter.
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to have any objections and immediately said with a smile: "Yes."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "I will talk to Mr. Duan Qi."
Wang Chen won't guarantee anything, but as long as the Zhong family isn't involved in any treachery, it's not impossible to say something for them.
Wang Chen now also has such a face!
Zhong Zhenshan was immediately overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed: "Thank you, sir!"
Zhong Yingyao, who was standing next to her, cast a complicated look at Wang Chen, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
