Meng Liangyu asked: "What are your plans in Wu'an County after today?"
"not decided."
Chen Tang said: "Let's wait and see how big a disturbance tonight's events will cause in Wu'an County and even Pingzhou. The Blackwater Gang is so deeply involved with various counties and prefectures that it is unlikely that they will be destroyed."
Meng Liangyu pondered: "If this incident cannot severely damage the Blackwater Gang, then you'd better find a backer in Wu'an County."
"Wu'an County is no better than Changze County. The place is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and the forces are intertwined. Just being a qualified warrior cannot protect you. If you want to continue investigating the Blackwater Gang, the best way is to get an official position in the court and work as an official act in his or her capacity.”
Chen Tang disagreed and said: "You were originally the head catcher of the county government office. You were transferred away by the county lieutenant just after you found out about the Blackwater Gang."
Meng Liangyu muttered: "The captain of Wu'an County may have a problem and cannot go to the Yamen. But the governor of Wu'an County has a reputation for being virtuous, diligent and benevolent, and has a very high reputation among the people. At least during the few years he has been in charge of Wu'an County, the lives of the people in the county have been pretty good. Wealth is a hundred times better than Changze County."
"If you have the opportunity to come into contact with the Wu'an County Sheriff, you can find a job with him."
Chen Tang frowned slightly and said, "If the county lieutenant has a problem, will the county guard not know about it?"
The most likely possibility is that the two are colluding and are in the same boat.
It's just that one does the dirty work and the other pretends to be the good guy.
This kind of thing is not uncommon from ancient times to the present.
"Know for sure."
Meng Liangyu shook his head and said: "It's just that it seems that the county magistrate is one level higher, but in Wu'an County, the county magistrate cannot command the county captain."
Chen Tang asked: "The county guard has been sidelined?"
"Somewhat similar."
Meng Liangyu said: "Generally speaking, in the counties of Qian State, if the county guard is a warrior above the sixth grade, he can control the military and government. The responsibilities of the county lieutenant are much smaller, and he is only responsible for the security of the county and the detection of theft."
"If the county guard is below the sixth rank, he will only be in charge of civil affairs, and all military affairs will be in charge of the county captain. The county captain's status is comparable to that of the county guard, and he can run the government alone."
"The county lieutenant is a military general. He must reach the fifth rank and cultivate his inner energy before he is qualified to serve. In some counties, if the county guard is temporarily vacant, the county lieutenant can even take the place of the county guard and take charge of the military affairs of a county."
Chen Tang asked: "In other words, the governor of Wu'an is under the sixth rank?"
"Um."
Meng Liangyu said: "I heard that he was in the fifth rank before, but then he was seriously injured for some reason. His vitality was greatly damaged and he never recovered. His combat power dropped to the sixth rank, so he gradually handed over the general power."
"I don't know what the inner story of the power struggle here is. The governor of Wu'an County seems to be the highest local official, but in Wu'an County, there are at least several forces that he neither dares to touch nor has the strength to touch. "
"Under the constraints of those forces, it is rare for this county guard to be able to manage Wu'an County to such an extent."
Chen Tang came from Wu'an County, where he could indeed see a prosperous scene. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the streets and alleys were filled with the smoke and smoke of the city. It was completely different from Changze County.
The two briefly chatted for a few more words. Chen Tang looked at the sky, stopped lingering, carried the sack on his back, opened the door and left.
The blood stains on his body had long been frozen, but there were no traces left when walking on the snow.
Chen Tang sneaked around in the night and made sure that no one was following him, then he came to Meng Liangyu's remote residence.
He took away the set of clothes he had changed into before, and then set the place on fire as agreed.
Afterwards, Chen Tang walked up the mountain in the snow and went straight to the forest cabin where the father and son had lived for many years.
After a while, Chen Tang came to the door of the wooden house with a sack on his back and threw the sack on the ground.
"Ouch!"
There was a cry of pain from the sack, mixed with a muffled groan.
Chen Tang had long sensed that the two people inside the sack had woken up.
However, these two people did not dare to say anything and were still pretending to be unconscious.
Now that Chen Tang has thrown him to the ground, he can no longer pretend.
Chen Tang untied the sack, poured the two people out, took off the rags in their mouths, and at the same time took off the black faceband that was soaked in blood on his own face.
"Oh!"
Magistrate Sun exclaimed, quickly closed his eyes, and said tremblingly: "I, I didn't see anything, you don't have to kill me to silence me."
Cui Zhao's broken hand was bleeding a lot and his face was pale. His leg had been kicked off before and he looked extremely weak now.
Chen Tang was not afraid of them escaping, so he waved his sword twice and cut off the ropes on their bodies.
Cui Zhao did not close his eyes at this moment, but gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, stared at Chen Tang and said slowly: "You are not from the Wolf Gang, who are you?"
"Don't you recognize me?"
Chen Tang said lightly.
Magistrate Sun closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "I don't recognize him, and we don't want to recognize him either!"
Cui Zhao sneered and said, "Master Sun, when it comes to this, just give up. This person is obviously here for us."
Afterwards, Cui Zhao looked at Chen Tang and said, "With my brother's skills, I am not an unknown person in the world. I, Cui Zhao, have offended you somehow. Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstand?"
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Cui Zhao began to recall carefully.
He has indeed tricked many people over the years.
But he has always been cautious in his actions. Before taking action, he will clearly investigate the three generations of these people's ancestors and make sure that they have no power and power and are just ordinary people, so he will take action.
Even if some people have some background in the world, he will be afraid of them.
Cui Zhao really couldn't think of a way in which he had ever offended such a cruel person!
"I brought you here today just to make you understand."
After Chen Tang finished speaking, he bit the bloody long knife in his mouth, held Cui Zhao's long hair in his left hand, and grabbed Magistrate Sun's hair in his right hand. He kicked the wooden house open, dragged the two of them and threw them in.
Magistrate Sun kicked his legs wildly, crying and howling in pain, and felt as if his scalp was about to be torn off.
Immediately afterwards, he was thrown into the wooden house and looked up subconsciously.
Lying on the wooden bed in that room was a dead body that had been frozen for a long time.
The corpse was covered in bruises and bruises, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was looking at him!
"ah!"
Magistrate Sun screamed in fright, struggled to stand up, and was about to run back.
boom!
Chen Tang kicked him to the ground, then stepped on his shoulder, took off the long knife from his mouth, leaned over slightly, and asked coldly: "Do you know who he is?"
"No, no, I don't recognize it! I've never seen it before!"
Magistrate Sun was so frightened that his two legs trembled, and his face turned pale.
He really didn't recognize this person and felt that he looked unfamiliar.
Cui Zhao frowned when he saw the dead body on the board.
The appearance of this corpse did look familiar.
His eyes turned and fell on the broken and drooping calf of the dead body. His heart suddenly suddenly changed, his expression changed drastically, and then a chill arose from the bottom of his heart, and he trembled all over.
"You recognized it."
Chen Tang's voice sounded in Cui Zhao's ears, it was creepy!
"This, this is Chen Da'an, you, who are you?"
Cui Zhao could no longer remain calm, and his voice was trembling slightly.
Chen Daan!
Hearing the name, Magistrate Sun also reacted.
More than two months ago, the man who called him a dog official in court was named Chen Daan!
