Chapter 69 Bloody Clothes Returns, But It’s a Pity That It Doesn’t Matter
There are seven reward orders left.
The seven people are all members of Taiping Dao in Yongzhou Province.
The level is not high, they are all the lowest level hidden objects. Although there are records of several hands-on operations, the descriptions are extremely brief and cannot be used as a basis to judge their true composition.
The reason why they were screened out by Xu Chong was because there had been mass death cases near the county where these seven people were located, and the murderer had not yet been identified.
This is a supernatural world.
There are only two situations in which the government cannot find the murderer.
One is done by Taiping Road, and the other is done by the government itself.
This is a very simple logic. Xu Chong suddenly figured this out when he was halfway through the selection process, and it took him only three days to complete the rest of the selection process.
"However, we cannot be so arbitrary for the time being. We must conduct on-site investigation."
Xu Chong made up his mind, picked up the reward order and went out.
It didn’t take long before I found Wang Hezhi in the county school.
"Going far?"
Wang Hezhi was a little stunned, "I've never heard of any relatives in your family."
"It's not about visiting relatives."
Xu Chong shook his head and handed the reward order to Wang Hezhi.
Among the seven rebels above, the nearest one is in the county town a hundred miles away, and the farthest one is at the other end of Yongzhou Province, almost a thousand miles away.
If you are not lucky, it may take more than a month, and if there is no one in charge of the yamen for such a long time, there will be big trouble.
"This..."
Wang Hezhi only took a cursory glance and understood what Xu Chong wanted to do, "What state are you in now?"
"The Sixth Level of Enlightenment."
Xu Chong released an exaggerated but not outrageous realm.
"..."
Wang Hezhi shook his hand and pulled off two white beards. It took him a while before he said, "Have you thought about it? It's only the sixth level of Kaiqiao. It's not safe. It's very likely that these seven rebels are all higher than Kaiqiao Six.
Heavy."
"Don't be afraid, it will take me some time to find them."
Xu Chong shook his head nonchalantly, "Maybe by the time I find them, they will already be at the seventh, eighth or even ninth level."
"..."
Wang Hezhi glanced at Xu Chong depressedly, and handed the reward order back, "Okay, I'll arrange things at school before going there. There are roads and other signs. The seal is at the county government office. You can build it yourself." p>
"The student thanked the Master."
Xu Chong bowed his hands and saluted.
However, just when the two of them had just agreed that Xu Chong was about to return to the county government office, Zhao Liu rushed in in a hurry.
"Sir! It's not good!"
Zhao Liu looked anxious, "Go and have a look..."
"A quiet place for reading, no loud noises allowed."
Xu Chong frowned and asked: "What happened?"
"I was just waiting outside the county school and saw a group of people on horseback going to the county government office. There were more than 40 people on horseback."
Zhao Liu swallowed his saliva, his eyes a little frightened, "It's... it's the blood-clothed guard!"
That kind of bloody robe is still fresh in the memory of all the residents of the county, not to mention him as a government official.
"Is it finally here..."
Xu Chong looked solemn.
In fact, he has been thinking about the incident of the cave fragments.
Although the water ghost helped take care of the situation and said with certainty that the imperial court and Taiping Road would no longer pay attention to Canglong for the time being, this was only a one-sided statement from the water ghost.
And if you don’t follow Canglong for the time being, it doesn’t mean you won’t follow it forever.
If Wei Wuxie really cannot be found, it would be most reasonable to start the investigation from the place where she disappeared.
Now it seems that the subsequent impact has already arrived.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chong asked: "Have you seen the leader clearly? What is the decoration on his bloody robe?"
"It's too fast and I can't see clearly."
Zhao Liu replied, "But I have an impression of the leader, but I can't name him."
"Impressed?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
He originally wanted to ask the leader's rank, but he didn't expect that Zhao Liu had actually seen him!
You know, Zhao Liu has only seen Fu Yuanlong and the one hundred men, and Fu Yuanlong is already dead, so the leader is definitely one of the one hundred blood-clothed guards.
A team of forty or fifty people should be the general flag.
So...these people are not here for Wei Wuxie?
"Master, the students have to go back to the county office first."
Xu Chong stuffed the reward order into his pocket and said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hezhi straightened his clothes and took a step forward: "Let's go together. I am the magistrate of Canglong County after all."
"This...is good."
Xu Chong didn't hesitate much and walked out first.
Anyway, the person who came here is Fu Yuanlong's subordinate, and the highest level is only the second level of Tongmai.
Even if you come here with malicious intentions, it doesn’t matter.
Because ‘Wei Wuxie’ will take action.
Soon.
Several people left the county school one after another and walked to the county government office.
As they walked, Xu Chong discovered something was wrong.
There are more people on the street than before.
And more and more.
People put down their work, put down their crying children, put down their half-eaten meals, and walked out of their homes, restaurants, and alleys.
Just standing on both sides of the main road, facing the direction of the county government office, watching quietly.
Xu Chong didn't care at first.
Although a month has passed since the mummy incident, and life has returned to the peace and tranquility it once had, it is obvious that that mood cannot be forgotten so quickly.
It’s normal for folks to be uneasy.
Until more and more people stood quietly on the main road, quickly breaking through one hundred, one thousand, and even tens of thousands at an even faster speed.
He finally stopped.
"Go back."
Xu Chong turned around and waved to everyone, "Believe me, Canglong will not be the same as last time."
Everyone was silent for a moment, not knowing who spoke first and whoever followed later would have no idea.
"I believe in Mr. Xu."
"I believe it too!"
"Let's go, let's go and do whatever we have to do."
"..."
The people were quickly calmed down and returned to their original places one by one.
Xu Chong took a breath, nodded to Wang Hezhi, and continued to the county government office.
He is not afraid of the blood-clad guards, but he is afraid that the blood-clad guards will be angered and take action against ordinary people.
What will he do then?
Killing those dozens of blood-clad guards, he was confident that he could do it with all his strength.
But what happens next?
Were all the people who witnessed it also killed?
However, what Xu Chong didn't know was that in an alley not far away from him, an old man slapped his son on the head.
"If I ask you to go back, do you really plan to go back like this?"
"???"
The beaten man looked confused, "You were the first to say you believed in Mr. Xu just now..."
"Idiot! Just as stupid as everyone else!"
The old man picked up the crutch and gave his son a hard spanking.
The man bared his teeth and rubbed the area where he was hit, his eyes still blank.
"Hmph, I have already earned enough after living so long. I didn't die last time, but I will die this time."
The old man squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the county government office, "It's scary that these red-skinned dogs are not coming for us, but for Mr. Xu."
"How dare they?!"
As if being touched, the man's eyes suddenly widened, and a fierce energy came out of his body.
"It's no use talking nonsense."
The old man paused and said, "If everyone is sitting at home and counting on Mr. Xu to save their lives, then who should they count on when Mr. Xu is in danger?"
"Go, let your wife and children hide, call your brothers and uncles, and bring whatever you can with sickles and hoes."
"We don't have many family members, but at least we can splatter them with blood."
