Xie Changkong, sixty-six years old, was originally from Tongfeng Prefecture, Yuzhou Province.
In the 14th year of Wenchang, the people were elected.
In the thirty-sixth year of Wenchang's reign, he served as the county academic and educational magistrate of Zhanghua Prefecture in Yongzhou.
In the forty-fifth year of Wenchang, he was appointed as the chief registrar of Feng County.
In the second year of Yongtai's reign, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Feng County.
In the eleventh year of Yongtai's reign, he was appointed magistrate of Fenggu County.
"The files of the Ministry of Personnel are really simple..."
Xu Chong complained and pushed the first document to the bottom.
The second picture is the internal file of the Bloody Guards. It can be seen that it was updated not long ago. It was probably after Xie Changkong was exposed that the Bloody Guards linked it to a recorded rebel.
Just one sentence made Xu Chong's eyes widen.
‘Xie Changkong is from the Xie family, which is suspected to be one of the six major families of Taiping Dao.’
The Xie family, one of the six major families?
Isn’t that the Xie family that Third Master was talking about?
What a coincidence...
Hmm.
Counting his age, this Xie Changkong should be the only third child left in the Xie family.
Xu Chong continued to look down.
'Strength is above Tongmai.'
"It likes to eat human flesh, especially men and women."
‘Between the 36th and 52nd years of Wenchang, people in Fengxian County disappeared frequently, mostly young men and women. It is now inferred that Xie Changkong was responsible.’
'At the end of March in the 18th year of Yongtai's reign, Wei Wuxie appeared in Fenggu County, and Xie Changkong was exposed.'
He likes to eat human flesh...the third son of the Xie family is really a pervert.
No wonder the third master said that the Xie family is going crazy, all the good young people have been slaughtered, and only such a pervert is left. It would be strange if he is not crazy.
Xu Chong was thoughtful.
"How was it? Did you gain anything?"
Ge Wanshan asked.
"Not yet, I need to see someone before I can make a judgment."
Xu Chong shook his head.
"Okay, then please little friend Xu come back to the government office with me."
Duan Yuanming stood up and seemed to feel better all of a sudden, "All the power of the government can be mobilized by you."
"Go back to the government office?"
Xu Chong looked at Ge Wanshan again.
"Look at what I do, are you afraid that Master Fu will eat you?"
Ge Wanshan stood up with a smile, "Anyway, I have nothing to do. I will go and bother Mr. Fu."
"That's how it should be."
Duan Yuanming nodded.
The expression is very natural.
"This time, we two old guys are counting on you."
Ge Wanshan patted Xu Chong on the shoulder as he passed by.
"My subordinates are terrified."
Xu Chong clasped his fists.
that's all.
The three of them boarded Duan Yuanming's luxurious carriage and headed all the way to the government office.
Naturally, no one dared to stop Fu Jun's carriage. From a long distance away, the city gate defenders drove the passing queue aside to clear the way for the carriage.
Xu Chong looked through the open car window.
If you look closely, there is not much difference between Fucheng and Canglong.
It's just that the buildings are more elegant, the roads are wider and smoother, and the quality of the government officials is better.
There are no fewer poor people than there are in Canglong.
In fact, Xu Chong felt that the expressions on these people's faces were worse than those of Canglong.
Not long after, the government office arrived.
Duan Yuanming asked people to take Xu Chong to the prison, while he led Ge Wanshan away.
"Am I overthinking it?"
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "Are you really just asking me to come for interrogation?"
He had a preconceived dislike for Duan Yuanming.
Although it was just a personal judgment with no factual basis, it also made him vigilant about Duan Yuanming's every move.
"Mr. Xu Qi, please come this way."
The yamen servant made a gesture of invitation.
Immediately, Xu Chong no longer hesitated and followed all the way through the hall and corridor to the prison on the southwest side.
Compared with the black prison in Qianhusuo, the prison in the government office is much shabby.
Only the cell door is made of the same material as the black prison. The walls and partitions are still made of the same stone as Canglong, but the thickness has doubled.
Such conditions can only block the existence of Tongmai and below.
No, the Tongmai Realm can completely dig out the stone bit by bit. If you want to take precautions, you must always be monitored.
Far less worry-free than Black Prison.
"This is the room."
The yamen officer took Xu Chong to the deepest cell, took out the key and opened the door, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, the person has been completely restrained, and there is no way to hurt him now."
Xu Chong walked in without comment.
The cell was extremely dark, there were no windows, and the only light came from the door.
An unkempt human figure, covered in blood and rags, was arranged into a large character and handcuffed to the innermost wall.
If nothing else, the thing that cuffed him was made of the same material as the forbidden shackles that Jiang Zhihong originally wore.
"Xie Changkong."
Xu Chong stepped closer.
The prisoner was motionless, still tilting his head, as if he had fallen asleep.
Xu Chong came closer, lowered his voice, and repeated his old trick.
"The Taoist Master is here to save you."
Whoosh!
The prisoner turned his head sharply and stared at Xu Chong, "What did you say?!"
"The Taoist Master is here?"
"Where is the Taoist Master?!"
This was a reasonable reaction, but Xu Chong's heart sank.
Because he looked very carefully.
When the word 'dao' was spoken, Xie Changkong had already turned his head!
This is simply unreasonable!
If someone else had done this, they might have overlooked this point.
But Xu Chong is different!
He experienced the same scene.
When he lied to Jiang Zhihong, "The Prime Minister is here to see you"!
Although Jiang Zhihong moved faster and he couldn't see it clearly, he clearly remembered that after Jiang Zhihong heard the words "The Prime Minister is here to see you," he froze first and then made any move.
of!
And this Xie Changkong, who is obviously not as good as Jiang Zhihong, can react when he only says the word 'Tao'?
Foresight?
This is absolutely impossible.
The only possibility is that Xie Changkong knew what he was going to say in advance!
These reactions are all prepared in advance.
In other words, Xie Changkong is acting!
"Damn it!"
"There is indeed something wrong with Duan Yuanming!"
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Changkong coldly.
And Xie Changkong was already furious.
"You lied to me!"
"You damn bitch! How dare you lie to me!"
"Is the Taoist someone you can mention casually with a character like you?!"
"..."
A series of roars.
Unfortunately, all I can do is roar.
With those shackles in place, Xie Changkong's strength was not much greater than that of ordinary people, and he had no threat to Xu Chong who was so close.
Xu Chong watched quietly, his heart sinking again and again.
This roar contained strong murderous intent and hatred.
He could understand the murderous intention.
But why is the hatred?
It was just the first official meeting between me and Xie Changkong, and they only spoke one sentence. How could such a huge hatred arise out of thin air?
Something is wrong, very wrong.
As soon as he thought about this, Xu Chong immediately turned around and left.
The roaring behind him continued.
Not long after, Xu Chong found Duan Yuanming and Ge Wanshan in the inner hall.
The two were drinking tea and chatting, and there were two other people sitting with them. Judging from the official robes, they should be Tong Zhi and Tong Fan.
"How's it going? Are you sure?"
Seeing Xu Chong come in, Ge Wanshan asked first.
"I have some ideas, but I need to go back and make some preparations first."
Xu Chong answered with a smile, looking confident.
"Okay, haha."
Duan Yuanming laughed and said, "You are indeed worthy of being Xu Xiaoyou. If you take action, you will succeed."
"In this case, the two of us will go back to the house first and see what happens tomorrow."
Ge Wanshan looked at Xu Chongyi with satisfaction and stood up to leave.
Duan Yuanming didn't stay too long, he just sent the two of them to the door and ordered his carriage to take them back to Qianhu Station.
"Sir, what is the situation of the six major families of Taiping Road?"
In the carriage, Xu Chong asked calmly.
"This is a relatively secretive matter in Taiping Dao, and I don't know much about it."
Ge Wanshan shook his head, "However, I have heard a lot about the Xie family."
"Um?"
Xu Chong cheered up.
"There were originally four Xie brothers."
Ge Wanshan said, "But the boss and the second child were all killed, leaving only the third and fourth children. The third child is the most mysterious and has never been exposed for so many years. Only the fourth child made a fuss because of his love of cannibalism. Even Taiping
Even the Taoists don't want to see him... If we can find out the reason why he is entrenched in Fenggu County, it will be a great achievement."
"What?!"
Xu Chong was shocked, "Xie Changkong is the fourth son of the Xie family?!"
