At Chenshi, Yuncheng County Government.
A group of experts were sitting in the lobby, and the atmosphere was extremely serious.
"According to the results of the autopsy, these two were already ninth-level warriors. They were killed with brute force and crushed. Because the other party broke their bones forcefully, their cultivation level must be above them."
"The tokens of Zhujiazhuang were found in the clothes of these two people, but there is no guarantee that someone put them in them intentionally.
There are currently two inferences. One is that the other party really wants to report the rebel. This probability cannot be said to be very high, because no one will choose to take risks unless they have a grudge against the rebel.
The other one has a grudge against the Zhu family and wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. After all, the people in Yuncheng had heard some rumors and knew that the Dragon and Phoenix Guards from the Zhenwu Division were here to hunt down the remnants of the previous dynasty. With a little attention, they could find out where Ruan Fengwei lived and arrange this matter. "
Ruan Hongyu, whose hair reached her waist, suddenly spoke.
"My lords have only mentioned two possibilities, and there is a third possibility."
Everyone was curious:
"What's the possibility?"
"The other party's report is true, but the other party himself is a remnant of the previous dynasty. He wants to take this opportunity to lure us into taking the bait and see how many people we have. Or, in other words, he may deceive us and catch them all."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"After all, it is Feng Wei from the Zhenwu Division. He is well-informed and quick-thinking. It is indeed possible, but we cannot sit idly by. After all, there has been no progress in the case for many days, and the imperial court has already urged it."
"Has Tian Wenjing been found?"
"We found out that there is only one person named Tian Wenjing in Yuncheng. He is the son of Tian Sicheng, a wealthy businessman in this county. Tian Sicheng died early, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other. But Tian Wenjing himself is a weak scholar, and it is impossible to kill two ninth-grade masters.
Moreover, it was said that his mother was very beautiful and often attracted outsiders to covet her. Therefore, the mother and son kept a low profile. They stayed at home on weekdays and rarely went out. "
"That being the case, I sent a few elite experts over to take a look. Others are ambushing outside Zhujiazhuang. Even if there is a trap, they can be rescued in time and the entire army will not be wiped out."
"That's very good."
...
The next few days passed very peacefully. The people of Yuncheng had to eat and poop, and there was nothing unusual as usual.
Only Shen Cong vaguely guessed that there was something unusual about it.
Because according to the normal rhythm, the second wave of Zhujiazhuang's killers should have arrived, but they didn't.
Sure enough, on the fourth day, Shen Cong had just arrived at the blacksmith shop. Before he could make buns, Zhang Ergou quickly ran to the blacksmith shop, out of breath and said:
"Something...something big happened!"
"What happened?"
The curiosity of the blacksmiths was aroused.
"I...I drink water."
With that said, Zhang Ergou snatched the tea vat from a master's hand and took a big gulp.
"What happened?"
"That's right, you should hurry up and say it, I'm so anxious."
The blacksmiths had little patience and were impatient. They wished that Zhang Ergou would immediately transfer the whole story to their minds.
"Huhu..."
Zhang Ergou took a gulp of water, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly said:
"Zhujiazhuang in the southeast was wiped out by the imperial court. More than 1,300 people disappeared without a trace overnight. Even Zhu Qingye, the owner of Zhujiazhuang, was beheaded."
Shen Cong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after all, it was the imperial court, it was Niucha who acted resolutely and wiped out Zhujiazhuang in one wave!
This is called professionalism!
Sure enough, professional things should be left to professionals.
"What? Zhujiazhuang was destroyed! How is this possible? Why did the imperial court destroy Zhujiazhuang!"
The other blacksmiths couldn't help but turn pale when they heard this.
"I heard that the Zhujiazhuang teamed up with the remnants of the previous dynasty to deliberately rebel, and the nine clans were implicated. However, it is said that the court also paid a heavy price. Zhu Qingye claimed that he was a master of the seventh level, but in fact, he had broken through A strong person who has reached the sixth level and belongs to the middle third level has reached the state of strengthening the internal organs!
When the imperial masters were annihilating Zhujiazhuang, they accidentally took away two seventh-grade masters and seriously injured a sixth-grade master!"
"Hi~! Sixth-grade masters, my God, looking at the entire Cloud City, there are only a handful of masters who can reach sixth-grade! It is said that the strength of the city lord has only reached fifth-grade."
"This is truly remarkable."
Shen Cong was stunned. He didn't expect that the Zhu family village owner had hidden his strength.
It seems that these families are quite cunning. If this is the case, then the Wang family may also be hiding their strength. After all, the Wang family has developed for so many years. Who knows if there will be a sixth-grade master?
Even a fifth-grade expert?
No, it seems that even if I break through to the sixth level, I can't just cause trouble for the Wang family. I have to wait until my strength improves and becomes stronger.
"By the way, what about Master Song and the others? How are they doing?"
At this time, someone finally thought of Master Song and the others, but Zhang Ergou looked sad when he said this.
"I heard from that relative that many mummies with their blood essence and blood sucked were found in the mountains behind Zhujiazhuang. It is said that Zhujiazhuang was secretly practicing magic skills. Master Song and the others... I'm afraid... .”
At this point, everyone's gossipy minds seemed to have been poured cold water on them instantly.
We have worked together for so long, and suddenly hearing the news of each other's death can't help but feel a little sad for a moment.
"Maybe Master Song and the others are still alive? After all, Zhujiazhuang wants to rebel and needs people to refine weapons. Master Song and the others should not have been killed yet."
This sentence of relief seemed to make people feel a glimmer of hope, although they also knew that this hope was slim.
Only Shen Cong knew that Master Song would really never come back.
...
In Yuncheng County Government, a group of court masters gathered together again.
However, this time, there were obviously not as many people as there were in the previous days. There were a few fewer faces, and a few were decorated.
"I didn't expect that this round of siege on Zhujiazhuang would cause us so much damage."
"What's even worse is that they are not remnants of the previous dynasty, they just practiced magic skills."
Yun Feiyu, the city lord of Yuncheng, comforted everyone and said:
"You don't have to be so discouraged. Zhujiazhuang practices demonic skills. Even if they are not eradicated today, they will be eradicated sooner or later. Rather than waiting until the opponent's demonic arts are completed and then eradicating them, it is better to kill them now."
An old man wearing a purple official robe said coldly:
"What City Lord Yun said is nice. It is your Yuncheng's credit for annihilating the demonic cultivators, but it is our Criminal Police Department who suffered the loss. If we find out the clues about the remnants of the previous dynasty, how can our Criminal Police Department still have the strength? Go hunting? If we can’t catch the remnants of the previous dynasty, neither we nor Ruan Fengwei will be able to escape our involvement.”
Yun Feiyu smiled slightly.
"Mr. Ge, there is no need to be angry. Yun is not a person who crosses rivers and burns bridges. In this way, when Yun reports, he will say that Zhujiazhuang is colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty. In this way, even if we are encircling and suppressing the rebels, everyone will take credit, and we can block the top. pressure, lest it be said that the Criminal Investigation Department has been unable to catch the remnants of the previous dynasty."
"Hmph! This sounds like a human saying."
