When I heard these words from County Magistrate Zhou.
Pu Botao and Huo Chengji both looked at each other silently.
Although the two of them are in two places.
It can also be used as an official.
Both of them have sufficient accumulation in officialdom.
Naturally, we can know that this week the county magistrate is now preparing to reveal the details.
So, hear this.
Both of them fell silent.
Just listening, Magistrate Zhou said:
"Now, we have taken Shi Defense into custody.
However, the matter needs to be investigated clearly first.
And the most important thing is the people in that village.
What happened.
So, for this.
It's hard for us to judge either.
This is our problem now.”
I heard that County Magistrate Zhou was still wandering around here.
Pu Botao was obviously not ready to waste any more time.
Just listen to him say directly:
"Since it's not sure yet.
So why not investigate first.
And, as far as I know.
A case of this level.
The matter involves the demon clan.
Even if you don't want to investigate it yourself.
Then you can also ask the Lawyers Association for help.
Just send an invitation to the court.
Could it be that County Magistrate Zhou doesn't know this?"
Pu Botao's words can be said to be completely rude.
This sentence, directly translated, is.
If you want to investigate.
Then just send your own personnel to investigate.
And the prisoner will not sit still and wait for death.
In this kind of case, there will naturally be a suitable lawyer to defend him.
Therefore, this case is under investigation by two parties, overt and covert.
Naturally, it will become more and more clear.
And this is also the easiest way for you.
Why, Magistrate Zhou, are you telling us that you can't even think of such a simple solution?
That would be an insult to our intelligence.
However, it is really not easy to say this too straightforwardly.
That's why Pu Botao said it in this way.
And hearing this.
The eyes of everyone present also lit up.
Then, Magistrate Zhou and Cheng Wang looked at each other.
Both of their eyes were filled with light.
Obviously, this coincides with the previous arrangements between the two of them.
Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou was determined.
Magistrate Zhou then said:
"Actually, we already asked the court about this matter as early as two days ago.
It is said that the court will also arrange for suitable lawyers to come.
Moreover, we also know that Shi Xinrong is also looking for a suitable agent.
We estimated the time.
The lawyer appointed by the court.
It should come today.
Therefore, we arranged for the county police to pick him up in person.
But actually, these things are okay.
Our current problem is that we still don’t know how to report this matter.
After all, a whole village of people suddenly disappeared.
It would be nice if they could come back.
But if they never come back..."
Magistrate Zhou obviously didn't say anything else.
But the meaning is already very obvious.
This matter is indeed both big and small.
This really concerns everyone here.
What if a whole village of people were completely killed?
So these people here want to get away.
Someone must take responsibility.
Now, obviously Shi Xinrong is the best choice.
Upon hearing this, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao also looked at each other.
Then, Huo Chengji said:
"Since Magistrate Zhou has made arrangements.
In fact, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong.
For the current plan, we really need to find someone first and conduct a thorough investigation.
What happened to the disappearance of this village?
As for other things.
It’s true that we can only talk about it later.”
I heard Huo Chengji being so perfunctory.
Wan Xian Cheng was obviously unhappy.
Today they invited senior officials from these two counties to serve.
In fact, it has several purposes.
First, tell them the general facts of the case.
Avoid these people from stalking outside.
Although these dedicated officials no longer have errands in the DPRK and China.
But they still have the right to present the memorial.
To put it bluntly, it's just rumors.
Now, are the entire village dead or just missing?
Not sure yet.
If an official who becomes an official reveals the matter before the county magistrate.
Then everyone would be embarrassed.
Therefore, they must communicate with these two officials before doing this.
Second, ask them for advice on how to follow up on this matter.
Now that a case has occurred.
Then it's natural to investigate.
But who is going to investigate.
This is a bit complicated.
In fact, Magistrate Zhou and the others are quite worried.
If you just rely on these few police officers in your own county.
They really don't have much confidence.
But now, the case is still in their own hands.
It is difficult to say how many people were killed.
Naturally, the imperial court cannot be allowed to send people to investigate.
Then, naturally, we can only use our own people to investigate.
But since these people have limited abilities.
Then foreign aid will inevitably be needed.
Therefore, they just said that there was a case of channeling demons.
However, they couldn't explain anything specific.
So, according to the rules of Qingsong Kingdom.
They need to find a serious lawyer for Shi Xinrong to protect his rights.
And for this, we can naturally rely on the lawyer's ability.
Help them investigate what is going on now.
Actually, for them.
Nowadays, this feeling of being neither up nor down is the most chaotic thing.
Therefore, calling Pu Botao and Huo Chengji here was just to check and fill in the gaps.
However, now it seems that what they did is indeed not a big problem.
Since Pu Botao has said this, it should be done.
Then it is correct to handle it this way.
But on this third point, they still want Pu Botao and Huo Chengji to help them come up with an idea today.
That's how we should say the number of people who have been killed now.
can face this problem.
Both Pu Botao and Huo Chengji avoided talking about it.
This is a bit unkind.
If you don’t talk about this matter, it’s hard for us to have a unified approach here.
So, Wang County Cheng also said:
"Two gentlemen, you are both senior officials.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We people may not be in the eyes of our predecessors.
To be honest, this is the first time we have encountered this kind of thing.
Now, we really don’t know how to report this to the government.
In fact, these people, you could say they were in trouble.
That means death without a corpse.
But you say they have nothing to do.
But it was completely invisible to anyone.
This matter is really difficult to handle.
Therefore, the student begged the two gentlemen.
But you must give us a way.
How to tell this matter to the government now?
If you are not careful, it will be a panic.
Please also ask these two gentlemen to give us some advice for the sake of thousands of people."
In this case, Wang Xiancheng's posture is already very low.
But precisely because of this, he has made the problem clear.
Two old men, just talk about it.
How do we report this matter to the government now?
It's been a few days since the incident happened.
If you procrastinate any longer, the matter will become serious.
It was really a massive attack by the demon clan or something.
If we don't report what we know, it will lead to disaster.
And if we report it now, what will we say?
It means that more than 300 people have been killed.
Then, everyone was in panic because of the demon clan.
Or we won’t say how many people there are, just waiting for further confirmation.
Although this thing seems simple.
But this is what most tests the ability of officials.
If one thing is not handled well, the future will be in doubt.
Sure enough, I heard this.
Huo Chengji and Pu Botao were both a little embarrassed.
The two of them quickly picked up the teacups in their hands to cover up.
In fact, Pu Botao was also scolding his mother in his heart.
They came here today just to see the general situation of this recent hot case.
honestly.
No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with them at all.
Can serve as an official.
Caring about government affairs and local governance is a form of cultivating reputation.
They didn't expect it either.
When I came here today, Magistrate Zhou just threw such a big pot over.
If they gave them advice now.
So in this matter, it is more or less related to the two of them.
If more than 300 people were killed.
But in the end, it turned out that there was none.
Then they need to take responsibility.
That would cause panic.
But if we don’t say that someone was killed.
So how can the demon clan take action again?
At that time, who else can take the blame?
So, the two of them quickly demonstrated it.
Then, Huo Chengji, the most senior person, said:
"County Magistrate Zhou, since the matter has not been investigated clearly yet.
So it's too early to say these things.
Now that the lawyer is on the way.
Well, we might as well wait.
Let the lawyers and our detectives investigate together.
Let's not talk about investigating things clearly.
At least, we can look for it in a village."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou's face visibly darkened.
I already have some bad ideas in my mind.
Sure enough, I heard Huo Chengji say:
"When they really find out something.
Let’s see how to report it later.”
Sure enough, Magistrate Zhou guessed correctly.
This old man really had an idea.
That's procrastination.
That's right, it's dragging.
However, this old man is very bad.
He also comforted Magistrate Zhou.
Things are unclear now.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Naturally, let the so-called lawyers and policemen investigate first.
It may not be easy to uncover the true nature of the incident.
But if you just look for the disappeared village.
Then it shouldn't be difficult.
Although this is a relatively safe method.
But now it's a case involving the demon clan.
If so perfunctory.
Then, when the time comes, I and others will have to bear the charge of dereliction of duty.
But here we go.
Several people also knew it.
The two people who came here this time can only be said to report a situation.
At least, with this exchange, these two old guys should stop talking nonsense.
This is somewhat of a gain.
Since you can't get what you want.
After a while, Magistrate Zhou served tea to see off the guests.
Magistrate Zhou sent the two people out of the county office very respectfully.
Although I didn't get what I wanted.
But the necessary courtesy is still required.
Seeing Magistrate Zhou being so enthusiastic.
Pu Botao was still a little embarrassed.
However, he said:
"Magistrate Zhou, please stay.
Thanks for today, then Mr. Huo and I will leave first.
If anything happens in the future, call us."
Several people said goodbye reluctantly, but they were extremely polite.
And Huo Chengji got into his carriage.
The carriage just started for a while.
Suddenly it stopped.
Indeed Pu Botao got off his carriage.
He stopped Huo Chengji's carriage.
He was not polite at the moment and sat in directly.
"Mr. Huo, excuse me.
In fact, you probably didn't tell the truth just now.
Mr. Huo, I remember that you must have handled similar cases before.
The Chongzhou Nightmare Curse Case was solved by you, right?
Why are you not talking about sex today?"
Pu Botao didn't do any ink, so he directly talked about the most important things.
I heard Pu Botao actually mention his case back then.
Huo Chengji's cloudy eyes seemed to suddenly gain a little more brilliance.
So he said:
"Actually, it's not that I'm hiding anything.
But just now, I really can’t trust the people there too much.”
"how do I say this?"
"You also know that when I became an official, it was because of the Chongzhou Curse Case.
In this case, local officials were colluding.
The case was delayed again and again.
Surprisingly, the case was solved in the end.
But no one was caught."
Hearing what Huo Chengji said, Pu Botao became interested for a moment.
In fact, he had heard of the case back then.
But because things involve something strange.
Therefore, the details have not been disclosed.
"Then this means that this case could be a common case of the demon clan."
I heard Pu Botao ask this.
Huo Chengji showed a troubled expression.
Then he said:
"Actually, there was something I didn't say just now.
If this is the case, the demon clan really eats people.
Then that's actually a good thing.
What I fear most now is..."
I heard Huo Chengji say that cannibalism is actually a good thing.
Pu Botao was also surprised.
This somewhat broke through his cognition.
"Is there anything worse than cannibalism?"
Hearing this, Huo Chengji's eyes darkened and he said:
"The Chongzhou Nightmare Curse Case back then was actually a group of demon and demon lunatics.
Talk about restoring divine grace.
Therefore, they are actually using extremely cruel methods to constantly find victims.
Moreover, what they did was not too subtle.
Their purpose is actually to sacrifice."
Upon hearing this, Pu Botao was also shocked.
His beard trembled.
said:
"what's the situation.
What else can they gain by sacrificing humans?
It’s just nonsense.”
Hearing this, Huo Chengji smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"But you can't stand it, people believe it.
So, people just dare to play like this.
As for what happened this time, no matter how I looked at it, it was weird.
Let me see, if they are not in a hurry to report it.
I can’t believe that something big is going to happen here.”
Hearing what Huo Chengji said so confidently, Pu Botao frowned tightly.
asked:
"Sacrifice, who are they sacrificing to?
Or, they want to shout about something."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chengji sighed and said:
“There are too many specific things, and I can’t say too much.
However, the group of lunatics I came into contact with at that time.
