After explaining the situation in two simple sentences, Yang Xiong gave an order: "Form up and be on guard! Supervise in pairs! Count the number of people!"
Hundreds of blood-clad guards formed a formation at the gate of the county government office.
The inventory was completed quickly, and there were not many.
Not only are there many, but there are even a few more...because the adults from hundreds of households have become ‘adults from hundreds of households’.
"Lao Yang, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
General Banner Lu Zuo looked extremely ugly.
There is no way, the method of instant transformation is really too scary.
If one person is not careful, he or she may be sneaked into the team by the other party. Then all soft jade armor and magical crossbows will be just decorations and will have no use.
"What do you think?"
Yang Xiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "He can kill hundreds of adults, and can change his appearance without restriction. I can't think of any way to deal with him..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure came hurriedly, making everyone's spirits tense instantly.
Forty divine machine crossbows were all pointed at the past.
"Wait!"
Xu Chong paused, raised his hands and shouted: "I am Xu Chong, don't you recognize me?"
"How do you prove that you are Xu Chong?"
Yang Xiong asked warily.
"This..."
Xu Chong looked confused, "Can't my face prove it?"
Yang Xiong frowned. Although he believed a little, it was not enough.
A small flag suddenly said: "What did you do last night?"
That’s right!
Yang Xiong's eyes lit up and he glanced at this little flag approvingly.
If Xu Chong is the murderer, then he definitely doesn’t know what Xu Chong did last night.
"Brother Pei, didn't I drink and gamble with you and Mr. Yang last night?"
Xu Chong scratched his head and said with a sad face: "Although I have won a lot...how can this not be a crime worthy of death?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Put it down and let him in."
The divine machine crossbow changed its target and pointed around again.
Xu Chong carefully walked through the formation and stepped into it, "May I ask, sir, what happened? Where is Master Fu?"
"Here."
Yang Xiong pursed his lips.
At this time, the broken corpses have been put together and put aside.
"This is!!!"
Xu Chong looked horrified, as if he was so shocked that he could not speak coherently, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, I just saw Master Fu last night..."
"What did you say?"
Lu Zuo's eyes flashed, and he grabbed Xu Chong: "Did you meet Lord Baihu last night?"
"..."
Xu Chong was immersed in shock. He didn't come back to his senses until the other party exerted force on his hand, "I've seen it before. Not long after I separated from Mr. Yang last night, the yamen servant from the inner team came to me and said that Mr. Baihu summoned me to see him for something urgent.
."
"Then what? What did the adults say to you?"
Yang Xiong couldn't help but urge.
"This..."
Xu Chong looked at the two commander-in-chiefs and looked a little embarrassed.
"Why are you still hesitating? My Lord has been harmed by a thief, is there anything else that cannot be said?!"
Lu Zuo shouted with anger and anger.
Now not only is Fu Yuanlong dead, but his subordinates are also in danger of losing their lives at any time, so he can't help but be impatient.
"...Okay."
Xu Chong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Excellency said, let me bring some cronies to help him find someone secretly, so that you don't want to be known...by you."
"Don't want us to know?"
The two generals looked at each other and realized that things were not simple.
"He asked you to find someone, but did he tell you what that person's name was and what he looked like?"
Lu Zuo asked.
"My lord didn't say what it was called."
Xu Chong nodded, stretched out his hand and gestured: "In terms of appearance, I would say he is a middle-aged man of this height, with slightly dark skin and wearing coarse linen clothes."
"It's him?!"
Yang Xiong blurted out, with a look of horror on his face.
"Do you know this person?"
Lu Zuo's expression moved slightly.
"Why don't you recognize me?"
Yang Xiong looked miserable, "He was the one who killed hundreds of adults!"
A group of blood-clad guards became commotion.
Lord Baihu, was he killed by the person he was secretly looking for?
What is going on?!
Lu Zuo was silent for a long time. Thinking of the mission that he and others had come to Canglong, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
And this thought reminded him of a rumored name.
In an instant, Lu Zuo was covered in cold sweat, "Quick, Lao Yang, tell Xu Chong what that person will look like later on, and see if he recognizes him."
"Okay!"
Yang Xiong did not dare to delay and quickly described the appearance of the housekeeper Lao Li in detail.
"This!!"
Xu Chong looked horrified and continued to guide according to the plan: "Isn't this my butler?!"
"Your butler?"
Yang Xiong's eyes became dangerous, and he couldn't help but order Xu Chong to be shot.
Lu Zuo stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Tell me more about your butler."
"Okay."
Xu Chong did not hesitate this time and explained everything about the background, words and deeds, character, and habits of the housekeeper Lao Li.
It fully demonstrates the 'wiseness' of being afraid of getting into trouble.
After saying this, Xu Chong said with a worried look on his face: "If you don't believe me, sir, you can call for my housekeeper... No, we will call all the people in the Xu family together and interrogate them separately, but there is an error.
I, Xu Chong, am willing to submit to the law."
Lu Zuo's expression was very solemn and he slowly shook his head: "That's not necessary. If I guess correctly, your butler is dead and no one else can ask anything."
"What did you think of?"
Yang Xiong looked solemn.
"Taozi with a Thousand Faces..."
Lu Zuo struggled to spit out a few words, "Wei Wuxie!"
In an instant, the expressions of all the blood-clad guards changed.
Yang Xiong was so frightened that his injuries broke out and he coughed up blood.
It turns out that his name is... He is really not as good as his name.
Xu Chong complained in his heart, and asked with confusion on the surface: "Qianmian Taozi? What do you mean? Is this person famous?"
"It's no use telling you."
Yang Xiong waved his hand, "Hurry up and mobilize the troops to implement a blockade. Clear the streets leading to the south gate. No one is allowed to appear on the streets. We need to leave the city immediately!"
"This..."
Xu Chong was embarrassed for a while, "Sir, what will happen to the county if you leave? What if the thief goes on a killing spree here..."
"Even if we are here, no one can stop him from killing him."
Lu Zuo's face hardened, and he said with murderous intent: "Just go and do as you are told. If you make any more noise, I'll have you stabbed first!"
"...Yes."
Xu Chong "helplessly" accepted the order and left.
About half an hour later, the adults of the Xueyiwei left.
When I left, I could say that I was in a state of confusion, and I was extremely embarrassed.
Even if a cat or dog pops out on the street, it can stimulate them to shoot it with a magical crossbow.
I have to say that this method of death is quite explosive in the entire cat and dog world... It is something used to deal with the Tongmai realm.
It is worth mentioning.
As soon as the blood-clad guards left, the people rushed onto the streets.
Beat gongs and drums, and firecrackers burst into the sky.
Except for a few children who were crying with their pets in their arms, the entire Canglong County was full of joy.
Xu Chong did not stop it, nor did he participate.
As the only living and 'informed' official in Canglong County, he had to lead a group of government officials in a prepared posture, without even having time to count the harvest.
And this is the only thing he can do now.
He had to wait for the reaction from the imperial court and Taipingdao to reach Canglong before he could make subsequent responses.
What he didn't know was that a man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat stopped the group of blood-clad guards not far from Canglong County.
