Chapter 12 Sensation
No matter in that world, death is a great thing, and it will be shocking to spread in all places.
Although the information in ancient times was outdated, it was impossible to resist everyone's leisure, like gossip and had no fun all day, and the news spread even faster.
It is definitely not a trivial matter that hundreds of people disappeared in a village. Not to mention the souvenirs in the city, the county magistrate in Xingyang City also visited this small village in person.
Hundreds of people and more than thirty families fell empty overnight, and all the property in the house was a little bit, and no matter how you look at it, it smelled strange.
The entire village was filled with an indescribable fear, and all kinds of rumors were constantly spreading. Some people said that demons outside the border broke into the village and secretly devoured and plundered the lives of these families.
Some people also say that these rascals did too much evil and suffered from divine punishment and died overnight.
There are also various sayings about ghosts. The group of people were collected by evil ghosts and punished by gods. For a time, big and small news kept running around in the village.
"Brother, why is it so lively outside?" The little girl widened her eyes and ate the rice in the bowl. Even the corn was very sweet. At this time, two rice grains were stuck on her face, and her eyes were staring at Zhu Fuxiao, looking out the door with curiosity.
"Don't be too troublesome. You're good at eating at home and don't run around." Zhu Fuxiao said angrily.
When the little sister heard this, she ate rice obediently, but her eyes couldn't help but float out, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Just at the stall where the brother and sister were having dinner, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the wooden gate. Wang Da, the son of the hunter in the village, shouted loudly: "Young Master, the Zaoli in the city and the county magistrate are here. Now we call the whole village to go to the village entrance for a question."
Zhu Fuxiao's heart moved when she heard this. She thought about all her actions last night and confirmed that there was no flaw left. She slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and then looked at the little sister: "This time, you have fun to watch."
After saying that, he stood up and wiped off the corn from the corner of his little sister's mouth, then hugged his thin body, pushed open the door and followed Wang Da towards the village.
"Sir, have you heard of it? Li Zheng, those more than a dozen rascals all evaporated overnight. Even their families disappeared overnight." The king said mysteriously.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Fuxiao raised his eyebrows and showed a hint of surprise: "Why is this happening?"
"It is said that I have done too much evil, and it will be bad for retribution." Wang Da said in a low voice.
Zhu Fuxiao thought to himself when he heard this, and Wang Da said with a plea: "Now, I'm fine. The Li Zheng bullied you every day a few days ago, but now he has suffered retribution, but the young master has been freed."
"Just ten acres of fertile land, how can I take it seriously? You boy arrives at the village head later, but be careful not to talk nonsense. Be careful of the trouble coming from your mouth and cause any trouble." Zhu Fuxiao stared at Wang Da angrily.
Wang Dalian nodded repeatedly, not daring to argue, but said relievedly: "This group of rascals and rogues have been rampant in the countryside and harming their neighbors all day long. Now they are suffering retribution, but they deserve it."
As we spoke, we had already arrived at the entrance of the village. More than 3,000 people from all over the village gathered together, and it looked very dense and spectacular.
Inside the room
Li Songbai, the great-grandson of Chengguan County, Xingyang City, was looking at the empty room with a serious expression, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Master, I've checked. There are countless families in the village who have made enemies with this rogue and rogue. But if you have the ability to kill hundreds of people overnight, you may not have the ability to do that. They are all ordinary people. If you have such ability, you should have been named king and went to Luoyang City to make a living. Why should you stay in the fields as a mud-legged person?" A Zaoli walked out of the door and said to Li Songbai.
Li Songbai was frowning when he heard this. Hundreds of people disappeared overnight. How did he explain to the prefect above?
Beside him, Zaili leader Chai Guan lowered his voice and said, "Master, something seems wrong. There is no trace! Even if the monsters in the borderland sneak in around the Great Wall, they should have left a mark. There is no trace or clue like now. I am afraid that it is not true as the neighbors in the village said, the rogues and other scoundrels suffered retribution, so they died silently."
(ps: This book does not have monsters in Xianxia novels. It is similar to the beast race in Western movies.)
Li Songbai took a deep breath when he heard this. Although it was spring and summer, he still felt a cool air jumping up from the back of his head: "Don't talk nonsense. You and I can talk about ghosts and gods as excuses. Do you still want me to repay those masters and say that it was done by ghosts and gods? Perhaps this group of people knew that they had done many evil things, so they quietly took their families to Wagang Mountain overnight and became bandits in Wagang Mountain."
They can privately shirk the words of ghosts and gods, but you ask Li Songbai to tell the prefect, go and tell the emperor, do you believe that the emperor of the current dynasty would cut you with one knife?
"Have Zhao Ji offended some powerful person recently?" Li Songbai looked at the leader of Zaoli.
Chai Guan said without thinking: "I heard that Li Zheng has some conflicts with Zhu Fuxiao, a scholar in the village, in recent days, and wants to force the purchase of ten acres of fertile land from the Zhu family. Zhu Fuxiao is just a weak scholar, so he has the ability to handle such cases."
"Zhu Fuxiao?" Li Songbai raised his eyebrows: "Zhu Fuxiao, the head-in-chief of the Yang family?"
Chai Guan nodded helplessly: "It's him."
"Now the Chai family and the Yang family are in secret. The Chai family has climbed to the Li family of Taiyuan City, and Yang Su, the big backer of the Yang family, has problems. Now the entire Yang family is in a panic. You are a distant relative of the Chai family. Although you have achieved five blessings, it is still a front-line opportunity." Li Songbai raised his eyebrows and looked at Chai Guan.
"The Chai family was about to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and then Zhu Xiucai was the one who was killed. If you can add more force, this matter will inevitably come into the eyes of the Chai family. Why bother to be a soap clerk in the county? As long as the Chai family members say something, aren't you allowed to choose the positions of the county? "Li Songbai looked at Chai Guan.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has made a good plan, and this matter is quite tricky. If Chai Guan takes the initiative to take the initiative and find a reasonable reason to put it on Zhu Fuxiao, all the responsibilities will be completely ignored by him.
Even if someone pursues it in the future, he just needs to push Chai Guan out.
The way to be an official is to protect yourself. Of course, if you can make friends with the Chai family and sell the Chai family for a good deal, I believe the Li family will also highly appreciate it.
Yes, Li Songbai is from the Li family!
Chai Guan was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head: "But...but...but... Zhu Fuxiao and a scholar, I'm afraid that no matter how much you put this hat on, I'm afraid you won't be able to put it on his body."
He said this, but he sneered in his heart: "Although the adult above is confused, he is not blind. Besides, the Yang family is not a small force. If I do too much and get grabbed by someone, I will die. I can only be sacrificed in vain. But now it is also an opportunity, and I still need to plan for a good life."
"It will be right in front of you. If you can grasp it, then you can grasp it. If you can't, don't blame me for not supporting you." Li Songbai didn't care about it when he heard this, and he didn't believe that Chai Guan could tolerate the temptation of promotion and wealth.
Then he walked out of the yard and said to the Zaoli: "Take all the money and get confiscated to the yamen."
After collecting the money, he turned around and left, leaving only a group of detectives asking the people for clues.
"That's Zhu Fuxiao?" Chai Guan walked out of the door of the house and shouted to everyone in the field.
"I have seen the head of the team, and here is Zhu Fuxiao." Zhu Fuxiao came out from the crowd and bowed to Chai Guan.
"Zhu Xiucai, it's been a long time since." Chai Guan smiled coldly.
He is not familiar with Zhu Fuxiao, but he is definitely not unfamiliar with him. The Chai family and the Yang family have had a terrible brain in recent years. Although they are just two remote partners fighting, the political struggles involved are terrifying.
As a city-wide souvenir, he has dealt with and regulated the conflict between the two companies many times.
"It's been a long time since I was gone. Master Ban came to me, but what do you want to ask?" Zhu Fuxiao was calm and did not have any fear.
Even a distant relative of the Yang family wanted to take the captain, it was just a blink of an eye. Everyone had a background and nothing to be afraid of.
"Haha, I'm just talking as usual. Where was Zhu Xiucai when the incident happened last night?" Chai Guan hid a knife in his smile, and his smiling eyes were full of coldness.
"Of course I sleep at home at night." Zhu Fuxiao said: "Where can I go if I don't sleep?"
"Is there a witness?" Chai Guan asked subconsciously.
"Adults sleep at home at night, are there any witnesses?" Zhu Fuxiao said so much that Chai Guan couldn't speak.
"Haha, I am worthy of being a scholar, but I speak sharply." Chai Guan smiled and stopped interrogating. He just clasped his fists expressionlessly and said: "If there are any clues, I hope Zhu Xiucai notifies me in time. I am grateful."
"It's easy to say! It's easy to say!" Zhu Fuxiao smiled.
Chai Guan was bored and was full of anger. He led three yamen runners back in a fierce manner:
"This bastard dares to be so disrespectful to me in front of everyone. I have to deal with you this time and I will give you anger to the Chai family!"
"Sir, although it is difficult to deal with this kid, it may not be impossible." At this moment, the young detective who was on the side laughed and leaned over.
"Oh? What's the solution?" Chai Guan was stunned when he heard this.
"I heard that the Li family members were near Wagang Mountain recently and were preparing to explore the details of Wagang Village." The young detective whispered: "That is the direct member of the Li family. I heard that the third lady and the second young master are also there."
"So what?" Chai Guan was puzzled: "The third lady and the second young master are like dragons in the sky, how can we contact?"
"What if Zhu Fuxiao colluded with the Wagang thief?" the young detective smiled mysteriously.
"Hmm?" Chai Guan stopped: "If there is a flaw in this kind of thing, no one can think of it."
