Dongzhou.
Fang Fuzheng was listening to the report of his subordinates with a livid face.
This is the sixth county magistrate to be killed, but so far, there is still no clue at all.
"Sir, now in our various county offices in Dongzhou, people are panicking, not only the county magistrates, but also the ordinary people."
"They have already had a lot of rumors during this process."
"The most common cases along the coast are that the ghosts of the Japanese who were killed in the past come to claim their lives."
A staff member said to Fang Fu.
"If such rumors are true, then I would be relieved."
Fang Fu nodded and said.
"Sir, the current rumors have caused many people to have great opinions on us, saying that it is all because of us that the Japanese ghosts came to take revenge, and after killing the county magistrate, they will attack ordinary people. ”
The staff member was a little confused.
"Since there are rumors and the meaning is so clear, the people behind it must be Japanese people. This can't be wrong."
"At least for now we can confirm that there is indeed such a group or even several groups of Japanese who came to our Dongzhou through unknown means."
"And he can hide and wait for an opportunity to attack the county magistrate."
"In this way, it will be easier for us."
Fang Fu explained to several people.
"But sir, under normal circumstances, the Japanese are very different from us Daxia people."
"If they really show up, it's impossible that our people won't be able to discover them."
"Didn't you say that similar Japanese people here have been killed before?"
Another staff member also asked in confusion.
"Yeah, that's what I'm wondering about."
"Actually, I wouldn't find it surprising that they landed. After all, although we are strictly guarding the coastline, we cannot cover everything."
"As long as you find the right time, it's not difficult to enter our Dongzhou."
"But the really difficult thing is how to avoid being discovered in so many places in our eastern state."
"If you say it once or twice, it might be due to coercion or coercion, but this has happened so many times."
"If he was killed, then we would know about these tragedies. If he was not killed, it stands to reason that he would have reported the crime. I don't believe it. All of us who were kidnapped by them are pustules."
Fang Fu also shook his head in confusion.
"Sir, do you think it was someone who had contact with the Japanese country in Dongzhou who deliberately hid them?"
"This way, it would be difficult for us to find it."
The staff member thought of a possibility.
"If it's just hiding, that's fine, but they still want to kill people."
"And he's also the county magistrate."
"This is so weird."
"What's more important is that the causes of death of several of them are not yet clear."
"Is there any suspicious news elsewhere?"
Fang Fu continued to ask several people.
"It's true. Since some time ago, news of the death of some wealthy businessmen or landowners has appeared one after another."
"At the beginning, we didn't pay much attention to it, but as it gradually became more common, it seemed a little unusual."
"And these places are not far from the county where the accident occurred, or even nearby."
A staff member said to Fang Fu.
"Um?"
"Is there such a thing?"
"How come we haven't heard of it before?"
Fang Fu was a little surprised. If he had known about it before, he might have discovered some clues long ago.
"We only found out recently. They seem to have died one after another in recent times."
"And there doesn't seem to be a clear explanation of how they died."
The staff member said slowly.
"Send someone over immediately to find out if there is anything similar between them."
"In the recent period, within half a year, record all the things that have happened, and then search among them to see if there are any similar ones."
"This must be done as soon as possible!"
Fang Fu said to several people.
After everyone left, Fang Fu looked at his map of Dongzhou and couldn't help but frown.
These Japanese people had only taken action in Huizhou before, but for some reason, they actually arrived in Dongzhou this time.
And it makes no sense for Dongzhou now.
When it comes to the previous hatred against the Japanese, Huizhou was undoubtedly the biggest. As for Dongzhou, it was just the Japanese who took the initiative to fight, and then their own people repelled them.
But at that time, the people in Huizhou completely wiped out the entire Japanese population.
As for their situation in Dongzhou, no matter from any aspect, it is not a good opportunity for the Japanese to take action.
Moreover, Fang Fu also found someone to go to Huizhou to understand the situation.
In Huizhou, there was no such situation where the county magistrate was killed.
In other words, the purpose of these Japanese is very clear.
Just to kill the county magistrate of their Dongzhou.
If we want to talk about the benefits of doing this, it may mainly be revenge on Daxia.
But this premise must be carried out on Zhang Bao's side.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
The Japanese now know Zhang Bao's identity and what he did in Dongzhou before.
From the perspective of Daxia as a whole, apart from Zhang Hongtao of Huizhou, the real reason for the destruction of the Japanese lies in Zhang Bao.
Had Zhang Bao not ruined their plans for the Chamber of Commerce in Dongzhou, this situation would never have happened now.
According to the Japanese plan, even if the foundations in Huizhou are uprooted by then, a lot of manpower will be left in Dongzhou. From Dongzhou, with the convenience of Dongzhou's trade, they will soon be able to spread their connections Expanded to the entire Daxia.
This was the most convenient way that the people of Japan could think of at that time.
But all this was ruined by Zhang Bao.
However, the Japanese who participated in these matters had already been killed, and the Japanese who fled back probably did not know the specific situation.
This is something Fang Fu can't figure out.
What worried Fang Fu the most was that during this process, Zhang Bao still had an undercover agent left by the Japanese.
If this is really the case, I'm afraid this revenge will not just be as simple as their Dongzhou.
