Chapter 69: The Bloody Robe Returns, Unfortunately Nothing to Say
There are seven bounties left.
The seven people were all members of the Taiping Dao in Yongzhou Province.
Their level is not high, they are all the lowest level hidden pieces. Although there have been several records of them taking action, the descriptions are extremely brief and cannot be used as a basis to judge their true composition.
The reason why they were selected by Xu Chong was that there had been mass deaths and the murderer has not been identified so far.
This is the supernatural world.
There are only two situations in which the authorities cannot find the murderer.
One was done by the Taiping Dao, and the other was done by the government itself.
This is a very simple logic. Xu Chong suddenly realized this when he was halfway through the screening, and then it only took him three days to complete the rest of the screening.
"However, we cannot be so arbitrary for the time being. We need to conduct an on-site investigation first."
Xu Chong made up his mind, picked up the reward order and went out.
Not long after, Wang Hezhi was found in the county school.
"Traveling far?"
Wang Hezhi was a little surprised, "I haven't heard that you have any relatives."
"It's not a visit to my parents."
Xu Chong shook his head and handed the reward order to Wang Hezhi.
Of the seven rebels mentioned above, the nearest one is in a 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 unlucky, it may take more than a month. If there is no one in charge of the government office for such a long time, there will be a big chaos.
"this……"
Wang Hezhi only took a quick glance and understood what Xu Chong wanted to do. "What realm are you in now?"
"Sixth level of enlightenment."
Xu Chong released an exaggerated but not outrageous state of mind.
“…”
Wang Hezhi's hands trembled, and he broke two white beards. After a long while, he spoke: "Have you thought about it? It's only the sixth level of enlightenment, which is not safe. These seven rebels are likely to be higher than the sixth level of enlightenment."
"Don't worry, it will take me some time to find them."
Xu Chong shook his head nonchalantly, "Maybe by the time I find them, they will have reached the seventh, eighth, or even ninth level."
“…”
Wang Hezhi looked at Xu Chong depressedly and handed the reward order back. "Okay, I'll arrange things at school and then go over. The seal is at the county government office, you can stamp it yourself."
"The student thanks you, Master."
Xu Chong bowed and saluted.
However, just as the two had just agreed and Xu Chong was about to return to the county government office, Zhao Liu rushed in in a hurry.
"My lord! Something bad has happened!"
Zhao Liu looked anxious, "Go and have a look..."
"In a quiet place for reading, no loud noises are allowed."
Xu Chong frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"I was waiting outside the county school just now, and I saw a group of people on horseback heading towards the county government office . There were more than 40 of them."
Zhao Liu swallowed his saliva, his eyes a little horrified, "It's... it's the Blood Robe Guards!"
Not only him as a yamen runner, but all the residents of the county town still remember that blood-red robe clearly.
"Is it finally here..."
Xu Chong's face turned serious.
In fact, he had always been thinking about the incident of the cave fragments.
Although the water ghost helped to deal with the aftermath and said with certainty that the imperial court and the Taiping Dao would not pay attention to Canglong for the time being, this was only the water ghost's one-sided statement after all.
And not paying attention to Canglong for the time being does not mean that you will never pay attention to him again.
If we really can't find Wei Wuxie, it would be most reasonable to start the investigation from where he disappeared.
Now it seems that the follow-up impact has arrived.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chong asked, "Did you see the leader clearly? What pattern is on his blood-stained robe?"
"It's too fast to see clearly."
Zhao Liu replied, "But I remember the leader, but I can't remember his name."
"Do you have any impression?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
He originally wanted to ask about the leader’s rank, but he didn’t expect that Zhao Liu had actually seen him before!
You know, Zhao Liu had only seen Fu Yuanlong and his hundred subordinates, and Fu Yuanlong was already dead, so the leader was definitely one of the hundred Blood-Clothed Guards.
A team of forty or fifty people should be the general flag.
So... these people didn't come for Wei Wuxie?
"Master, I will go back to the county government office first."
Xu Chong stuffed the reward order into his arms and bowed to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hezhi straightened his clothes and took a step forward: "Let's go together. After all, I am the county magistrate of Canglong County."
"That's... okay."
Xu Chong didn't hesitate and walked out first.
Anyway, the person who came was Fu Yuanlong's subordinate, and his highest level was only the second level of Tongmai.
Even if you come 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 towards the county government office.
As he walked, Xu Chong discovered something was wrong.
There are more people on the streets than ever before.
And more and more.
People put down their work, left their crying children, and half-eaten meals, and walked out of their homes, taverns, and alleys.
They just stood on both sides of the main road, facing the direction of the county government office, and watched quietly.
Xu Chong didn't care at first.
Although a month has passed since the mummy incident and life has returned to its former peace and tranquility, that feeling is obviously not something that can be forgotten so quickly.
It is normal for the villagers to feel uneasy.
Until more and more people stood quietly on the main road, quickly breaking through one hundred, one thousand, and even reaching tens of thousands at a faster speed.
He finally stopped.
"Let's go back."
Xu Chong turned around and waved to everyone, "Believe me, Cang Long will not be the same as last time."
Everyone was silent for a moment, no one knew who spoke first, and then countless people followed.
"I believe in Lord Xu."
"I believe it too!"
"Let's go, let's go, do what we need to do."
“…”
The people were quickly pacified and returned to their original places one after another.
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Wang Hezhi, and continued to go to the county government office.
He was not afraid of the Blood-Cloth Guards, but he was afraid that the Blood-Cloth Guards would be enraged and attack ordinary people.
What will he do then?
He was confident that he could kill those dozens of Blood-Clothed Guards if he exerted his full strength.
But what then?
Did they also kill the civilians who witnessed the incident?
However, what Xu Chong didn't know was that at the entrance of an alley not far from him, an old man slapped his son on the head.
"If I tell you to go back, do you really intend to go back like this?"
"???"
The man who was beaten was confused, "Just now you were the first one to say that you believed in Lord Xu..."
"Idiot! Just as stupid as the rest!"
The old man grabbed his walking stick and hit his son hard.
The man rubbed the place where he was hit with a grimace in his eyes, his eyes still blank.
"Humph, I've lived to this age and I've already had enough. I didn't die last time, but I'll die this time."
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the county government office. "The scary thing is that these red-skinned dogs are not here to look for us, but to look for Lord Xu."
"They dare?!"
As if his reverse scale had been touched, the man's eyes suddenly widened and a fierce aura emanated from his body.
"There's no use talking bullshit."
The old man paused with his wooden crutch and said, "If everyone sits at home and hopes that Lord Xu can save their lives, then who can they rely on when Lord Xu is in danger?"
"Go, tell your wife and children to hide, call your brother and uncle and bring sickles, hoes and anything else you can."
"We don't have many family members, but at least we can splatter their blood."
