Chapter 432 What do you think?
The entire flower hall is not too big.
Although the name is called Flower Hall.
However, there are no flowers here.
On the contrary, the layout is very elegant and quiet.
No matter how you look at it, this place has nothing to do with any flowers.
The so-called flower hall is just another living room different from the hall.
Think twice.
Wang Xiancheng still felt that this was the most appropriate place for the meeting.
"Magistrate Zhou will be arriving soon."
Wang Xiancheng said these words to the chief secretary Zhang Deming beside him.
Wang Xiancheng is already over forty years old.
Although the clothes he wears are very simple.
But that steady temperament is very obvious.
It makes people feel at ease.
Although Zhang Deming serves as the chief bookkeeper in Quanzhou Fucheng.
But in fact, power is usually nothing.
Although Quanzhou Prefecture has two of the most important minerals.
Iron ore and silver iron ore.
But there are too many people staring at these things.
Therefore, although Quanzhou City is considered wealthy.
But most of the money is not available to the local government.
So this explains why Master Zhang is dressed more elegantly.
It's just a cotton robe.
If it weren't for his righteousness.
No one may notice that this is also a local official.
Hear the county magistrate's question.
Zhang Deming arched his body slightly and replied:
“It should be arriving soon.
Today the county magistrate invited Mr. Puhuo to discuss the situation together.
After all, this can be considered the big eucalyptus here.
If a tone cannot be set as soon as possible.
That would be too much.
. "
Zhang Deming did not choose to say the next words.
But everyone can know that this is just because he really has a bad choice of words next.
Then he shut up.
After all, the county magistrate has not yet set the tone on this matter.
Therefore, no words can be said carelessly.
It seemed that Zhang Deming was aware of his embarrassment.
Wang Xiancheng directly avoided this topic.
So he took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly:
"Have Wang Yong and the others already set off?"
Zhang Deming can answer this question.
He couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
If the county magistrate keeps asking things that he can't answer.
That would be too embarrassing.
Zhang Deming gently wiped the slight sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Then he said:
"Wang Captou and the others have already gone out early in the morning.
Calculating the time, they felt that the two lawyers would be arriving soon. "
Hearing this, Wang Xiancheng nodded.
It seems that I am still very satisfied with this answer.
What happened recently is really strange.
They can't be too sure about what these things are.
The entire county has become somewhat tense.
The two of them were talking.
Suddenly, the door of the flower hall was opened directly.
Then, an age of about forty.
A middle-aged man wearing Qingsong uniform.
He led two old gentleman-looking people in.
Saw the man coming in.
Both Wang Xiancheng and Master Zhang stood up in a hurry.
Then he said politely:
"County magistrate, you are finally back."
As the two people talked, the three people also began to enter the flower hall.
The middle-aged man waved his hands to the two of them.
Obviously, I don’t want to say more.
Then, he led the two old gentlemen to take their seats.
It can be seen that County Magistrate Zhou actually wants to give up his position.
One of the two old men immediately said:
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, inappropriate."
Even though he said so.
But he was obviously very satisfied with the county magistrate's respect.
After hearing this, Magistrate Zhou said:
"Mr. Huo is too polite.
There is no county official here, and I am just a student of your husband.
How dare you sit down.
Please take your seat, sir.
Just sit with the students below. "
Huo Chengji saw that Magistrate Zhou spoke calmly and his attitude was very respectful.
He wanted to give it up again.
The other person who looked younger said:
"Mr. Huo, please sit down quickly.
I also want to know the whole story quickly.
How is the situation now.
What progress has been made?
You don’t know.
This matter has already gone viral in nearby Yanqu County.
It is said that three hundred people died.
Yes and no. "
Obviously, Pu Botao is impatient.
Suddenly I was anxious to communicate about safety.
He was talking a lot along the way just now, but he didn't say a word.
This really frustrated him.
Just like that, I heard Pu Botao's words.
Huo Chengji is not pretentious either.
However, he still gave Pu Botao a warning look.
Boy, don’t even look at where this place is.
The words were not given seriousness.
Is this the right place to discuss this?
However, he still took the first place directly.
Then, Magistrate Zhou waved his hand, and everyone sat down.
After ordering people to serve fragrant tea.
Magistrate Zhou also waved his hand and dismissed the boy.
After seeing the door closed.
Magistrate Zhou confirmed again.
There's no one else here anymore.
Therefore, County Magistrate Zhou said:
“The matter is actually not that serious.
There shouldn't be that many people dead. "
Hearing Magistrate Zhou's tone, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao both breathed a sigh of relief.
But Huo Chengji immediately said:
"County Lord, you'd better tell us the whole thing in detail.
This makes many people panic now.
Some people even say that the demon clan has invaded in large numbers.
Are these true?
Also, are the people in the entire village completely dead? "
Huo Chengji's question once again made the atmosphere in the whole room tense.
Magistrate Zhou looked at Wang Xian Cheng and Master Zhang who were standing aside.
I really didn’t expect that this matter is now known to everyone.
It's really a good thing not to go out.
Bad things spread thousands of miles.
Several people looked at each other, all with wry smiles on their faces.
Finally, Magistrate Zhou winked.
Wan Xian Cheng understood, so he immediately cleared his throat.
Then he said:
“This matter started five days ago.
The urban defense of our Quanzhou County is managed by the Quanzhou Defense Office.
The two gentlemen also know this.
But just five days ago, our newly appointed defense officer, Shi Xinrong, directly transferred the order.
Let all the defense posts next to Feimu Village be moved out and changed.
It's extremely unusual. "
After saying this, Wang County Cheng seemed to have just revealed a big secret.
Even his voice had dropped.
And heard Shi Xinrong's name.
Huo Chengji and Pu Botao also looked at each other.
Both of them could see the subtle curiosity and caution in the eyes of others.
But the two of them did not interrupt.
Instead, he looked at Wang Xiancheng quietly.
Obviously, both of them were waiting for Wang Xiancheng's next words.
They know that it is impossible for these rumors outside to be explained by such nonsense.
Sure enough, he didn't interrupt when he saw the two of them.
Wang Xiancheng continued to speak.
“But then, something surprised everyone.
Just when the defense next to the village was moved out.
That night, someone went back to look for something he had left behind.
It's a coincidence.
People actually discovered that there was a village not far from the original residence.
The entire Feimu Village, with more than seventy households and nearly 312 people, all disappeared neatly.
No matter the village, or the population within it.
All at once, completely disappeared. "
When hearing this sentence.
Everyone changed color at the same time.
Even Magistrate Zhou and Master Zhang, who already knew the results, turned pale.
Obviously, they are not far away from facing such a situation.
When Pu Botao heard this, he couldn't help but interjected:
"What's the meaning.
It was the house in the village that was lost.
Or everyone in the village was lost.
Or some other situation.
When did this happen?
Just stop hiding it. "
Obviously, Pu Botao was already a little anxious.
He really couldn't stand how interested Wang Xian Cheng was in telling stories.
When he said this, Wang Xian Cheng also restrained himself a lot.
Then he continued:
“It was the whole village that disappeared.
Someone saw that the traces of foundation pressure were still there in the village.
But the house has long since disappeared.
Moreover, the people there have completely disappeared.
This is really scary. "
Speaking of this, Wan Xian Cheng stopped talking.
After all, these are already too sensitive.
after awhile.
He seemed to have adjusted his mood.
Then he continued:
"So, this is the first surprising thing about this matter."
The first time they heard such a bizarre story, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao were both stunned.
This is the first time they have heard this story.
Therefore, Pu Botao couldn't help but said:
"Let's put it this way. This incident, from beginning to end, is just a village that mysteriously disappeared.
There is no need to trouble us to participate. "
But who knew it would be okay if he didn't say it.
Once you say it like this, it obviously makes sense.
The environment here is not very good.
Just listen to Wang Xiancheng continue to introduce.
“We have already inspected the scene.
But I didn't find anything valuable at all.
So, the whole thing was left hanging.
That's what worries us all. "
Hearing this, Huo Chengji gradually started to have concerns.
So, he opened his mouth and said:
"So, the most suspicious person in this matter is the person who changed the defense near the village?"
Huo Chengji said this sentence with a sense of power.
He just finished speaking.
Pu Botao also seemed to react.
So he said:
“Who on earth did such an appalling thing.
It was actually able to make an entire village and all the people in the village disappear.
This is no ordinary method. "
When the topic came to this point, Magistrate Zhou and Cheng Wang also looked at each other again.
Then he continued:
“Later, people based on specific surveys came back to report.
It feels like there is a demon clan involved in this matter. "
When they heard about the demon clan, Pu Botao and Huo Chengji's expressions froze slightly.
They are really monsters.
Sure enough, the rumors were true.
But soon, Pu Botao reacted.
"Then it doesn't mean that this person who changed his defense is the nail planted by the demon clan.
Haha, really good.
Some people don't do it.
He went so far as to hook up with the demon clan.
It is true that the demon clan deserves to die.
But this talent is really disgusting.
This kind of person will definitely deserve to die. "
But Pu Botao's words were not objectionable.
Instead, everyone present nodded slightly.
Apparently, they thought so too.
Huo Chengji also quickly added and asked:
"Then this person ran away before.
Where is he now? "
After saying this, Wang Xiancheng continued.
"Of course he didn't run away.
To be honest, it's strange to say.
This is new to Stone Defense.
Just after the defense order was issued.
He completely disappeared.
Completely missing. "
This thing seems to be a very incredible thing.
Even Wang Xiancheng couldn't help but shudder when he talked about this matter.
The statement that it is even more missing adds an air of mystery.
After hearing this, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao both expressed doubts in unison:
"disappeared?"
Wang Xiancheng nodded.
"Yes, he is missing.
For three whole days, no one was alive and no corpse was seen.
We also searched everywhere.
After all, this can be regarded as an official of the imperial court.
How could his disappearance not worry everyone?
Especially, he is still.
. "
Wan Xian Cheng didn't say much about the rest.
Obviously, he also realized that he had made a mistake.
That's why I didn't tell the whole story.
In fact, they asked these two old gentlemen to come over today.
It also means asking for countermeasures.
Both Huo Chengji and Pu Botao once had official status.
Huo Chengji, in particular, was a magistrate.
His perspective on problems and reading are naturally different from others.
Therefore, Wang Xiancheng seemed to have whetted everyone's appetite.
Then he continued:
"Although he is missing, he is missing.
But in the end, we caught him.
Haha, he wants to escape from our grasp, but he still thinks too much. "
Although Wan Xian Cheng's words were heroic.
But there are no fools here.
No one would believe that the disappearance of a village and its hundreds of people would be the result of a foolhardy person.
The only explanation is that Shi Xinrong should not have absconded.
When the government discovered something, he didn't even resist at all.
Otherwise, they would not believe that a small county could catch someone who had done such a thing.
They didn't believe it or not, but they still had patience and listened to Wan Xian Cheng continue:
“But when he came back, we also asked him about the transfer order.
But who knows, at this time, he completely denied these things.
At the same time, he could not explain clearly where he had been during the past few days when he had been missing.
Went to meet someone.
It's not even clear how he was discovered. "
After everyone heard this, they all had some thoughts of their own.
So, Huo Chengji said:
"Doesn't this mean that this kid is completely clueless now?
What's happening here.
Did he think he could escape by pretending to be crazy? "
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
County Magistrate Zhou saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he continued:
“So, I invite two gentlemen to come today.
I just want to ask your opinion on this matter.
I don't know what you two think. "
