Chapter 434: Leave in despair
When I heard County Magistrate Zhou’s words.
Pu Botao and Huo Chengji both looked at each other silently.
Although the two of them are in two places.
It can also be used as an official.
Both of them have sufficient accumulation in officialdom.
Naturally, we know that this week the county magistrate is now preparing to reveal the details.
So, hear this.
Both fell silent.
Just listening, Magistrate Zhou said:
“Now, we have Shi Defense in custody.
However, the matter needs to be investigated first.
And the most important thing is the people in that village.
What happened.
So, for that.
It’s hard for us to judge either.
This is our problem now. "
I heard that County Magistrate Zhou was still here.
Pu Botao was obviously not ready to waste any more time.
Just listen to him say directly:
“Since it’s not certain yet.
So why not investigate first.
And, as far as I know.
A eucalyptus of this level.
The matter involves the demon clan.
Even if you don’t want to investigate it yourself.
Then you can also ask the Lawyers Association for help.
Just send an invitation to the court.
Could it be that County Magistrate Zhou didn't know this? "
Pu Botao's words can be said to be completely rude.
This sentence, directly translated, is.
If you want to investigate.
Then just send your own personnel to investigate.
And the prisoners will not sit still and wait for death.
This kind of person will naturally have a suitable lawyer to defend him.
Therefore, this eucalyptus is involved in the investigation of two parties, one overt and one covert.
Naturally, it will become more and more clear.
And this is also the easiest way for you.
Why, Magistrate Zhou, are you telling us that you can't even think of such a simple solution?
That would be an insult to our intelligence.
It's just that it's really hard to say this too straightforwardly.
That's why Pu Botao said it in this way.
And hearing this.
The eyes of everyone present also lit up.
Then, Magistrate Zhou and Cheng Wang looked at each other.
Both of their eyes were filled with light.
Obviously, this coincides with the previous arrangements between the two.
Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou was determined.
Magistrate Zhou then said:
“Actually, we already asked the court about this matter as early as two days ago.
It is said that the court will also arrange for suitable lawyers to come.
Moreover, we also know that Shi Xinrong is also looking for a suitable agent.
We estimated the time.
The lawyer appointed by the court.
It should come today.
Therefore, we arranged for the county police to pick him up personally.
But in fact, these things are okay.
Our current problem is that we still don’t know how to report this matter.
After all, a whole village of people suddenly disappeared.
It would be nice if they could come back.
But what if they never come back.
.
"
Magistrate Zhou obviously didn't say anything else.
But the meaning is already very obvious.
This matter is indeed big or small.
This really concerns everyone here.
If it is really a village where people are completely killed.
So these people here want to get away.
Someone has to take responsibility.
But now, Shi Xinrong is obviously the best choice.
Hearing this, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao also looked at each other.
Then, Huo Chengji said:
"Since Magistrate Zhou has made arrangements.
In fact, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong.
For the current plan, we really need to find someone first and conduct a thorough investigation.
What happened to the disappearance of this village?
As for other things.
Indeed, we can only talk about it later. "
I heard Huo Chengji being so perfunctory.
Wan Xian Cheng was obviously unhappy.
Today they invited senior officials from these two counties to serve.
In fact, it has several purposes.
First, tell them the general situation.
Avoid these people hanging around outside.
Although these officials who have become official no longer have errands in the DPRK.
But they still have the right to perform.
To put it bluntly, it's just rumors.
Now, is the entire village dead or just missing?
Not sure yet.
If the official who became an official revealed the matter before the county magistrate.
Then everyone would be embarrassed.
Therefore, they must communicate with these two officials before doing so.
Second, ask them for advice on how to follow up on this matter.
Since eucalyptus happened.
Then of course it is an investigation.
But who is going to investigate.
This is a bit complicated.
In fact, County Magistrate Zhou and the others are quite worried.
If you just rely on these few policemen in your own county.
They really don't have much confidence.
But now, the eucalyptus is still in their own hands.
It is difficult to say how many people were killed.
Naturally, the imperial court cannot be allowed to send people to investigate.
Then, naturally, we can only use our own people to investigate.
But since these people have limited abilities.
Then foreign aid will inevitably be needed.
Therefore, they just said that there was a eucalyptus with demons.
However, they couldn't tell the specific details.
So, according to the rules of Qingsong Kingdom.
They needed to find a serious lawyer for Shi Xinrong to protect his rights.
And for this, we can naturally rely on the lawyer's ability.
Help them investigate what's going on now.
Actually, for them.
Nowadays, this feeling of being neither up nor down is the most chaotic thing.
Therefore, calling Pu Botao and Huo Chengji here was just to check and fill in the gaps.
However, now it seems that what they did was indeed not a big problem.
Since Pu Botao has said this, this should be done.
Then it is correct to handle it this way.
But on this third point, they still want Pu Botao and Huo Chengji to help them make an idea today.
That's how it should be said with the number of people killed now.
can face this problem.
Pu Botao and Huo Chengji both avoided talking.
This is a bit unkind.
If you don't talk about this matter, it's hard for us to have a unified voice here.
Therefore, Wang County Cheng also said:
"Two gentlemen, you are both senior officials.
We people may still not be in the eyes of our seniors.
To be honest, this is the first time we have encountered this kind of thing.
Now, we really don’t know how to report this to the government.
In fact, these people, you can say they were killed.
That means death without a corpse.
But you say they have nothing to do.
But it was completely invisible to anyone.
This matter is really difficult to handle.
Therefore, the student begged the two gentlemen.
But you must give us a way.
How to tell this matter to the government now.
If you were not careful, it would be a panic.
Please also ask these two gentlemen to make some decisions for us for the sake of thousands of people. "
In this case, Wang Xiancheng's posture was already very low.
But because of this, he has made the problem clear.
Two old men, just talk.
How do we report this matter to the government now?
It's been a few days since the incident happened.
If you procrastinate any longer, the matter will become serious.
It was really a massive attack by the demon clan or something.
If we fail to report what we know, it will lead to catastrophe.
And if we report it now, what exactly will we say?
It means that more than 300 people have been killed.
Then, everyone was in panic because of the demon clan.
Or we won’t say how many people there are, just waiting for further confirmation.
Although this thing seems simple.
But this is what most tests the abilities of officials.
If one of them is not handled well, the future will be in doubt.
Sure enough, I heard this.
Huo Chengji and Pu Botao were both a little embarrassed.
The two of them quickly picked up the teacups in their hands to cover up.
In fact, Pu Botao was also scolding his mother in his heart.
Coming here today, they just want to see the general situation of this popular eucalyptus recently.
honestly.
No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with them at all.
Can serve as an official.
Caring about government affairs and local governance is a form of cultivating reputation.
They didn't expect it either.
When I came here today, Magistrate Zhou just threw such a big pot over.
If they gave them advice now.
So in this matter, it is more or less related to the two of them.
If more than three hundred people were killed.
But in the end, it turned out that there was none.
Then they need to take responsibility.
That would cause panic.
But if you don’t say that someone was killed.
So how can the demon clan take action again?
At that time, who else can take the blame?
Therefore, the two people quickly demonstrated it.
Then, Huo Chengji, the most senior person, said:
"Magistrate Zhou, since the matter has not been investigated clearly yet.
It's too early to say these things.
Now that the lawyer is on the way.
Well, we might as well wait.
Let the lawyers and our detectives investigate together.
Let’s not talk about investigating things clearly.
At least, you can look for it in a village. "
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou's face visibly darkened.
I already have bad thoughts in my mind.
Sure enough, I heard Huo Chengji say:
“Wait until they actually find out something.
Let's see how to report it. "
Sure enough, Magistrate Zhou guessed correctly.
This old man did have an idea.
That's procrastination.
Yes, it’s dragging.
However, this old man is very bad.
He also comforted Magistrate Zhou.
Things are unclear now.
What nonsense.
Naturally, let the so-called lawyers and policemen investigate first.
It may not be easy to discover the true nature of the matter.
But if you just look for the disappeared village.
Then it shouldn't be difficult.
Although this is a relatively safe method.
But now it involves the eucalyptus of the demon clan.
If so perfunctory.
Then, when the time comes, I and others will have to bear the charge of dereliction of duty.
But here we go.
Several people also knew it.
The two people who came here this time could only be said to be reporting the situation.
At least, with this exchange, these two old guys should stop talking nonsense.
This is somewhat of a gain.
Since you can't get what you want.
After a while, County Magistrate Zhou served tea to see off the guests.
Magistrate Zhou sent the two people out of the county office very respectfully.
Although I didn't get what I wanted.
But the necessary courtesy is still required.
Seeing Magistrate Zhou being so enthusiastic.
Pu Botao was still a little embarrassed.
However, he said:
"Magistrate Zhou, please stay.
Thanks for today, then Mr. Huo and I will leave first.
If you have anything to do in the future, call us. "
Several people said goodbye reluctantly, but they were extremely polite.
And Huo Chengji got into his carriage.
The carriage had just started for a while.
Suddenly it stopped.
Indeed Pu Botao got off his carriage.
He stopped Huo Chengji's carriage.
He was not polite at the moment and sat in directly.
"Mr. Huo, excuse me.
In fact, you probably didn't tell the truth just now.
Mr. Huo, I remember that you must have dealt with similar problems before.
Isn't it you who solved the Chongzhou cursed eucalyptus with your own hands?
Why are you not talking about sex today? "
Pu Botao didn't do any ink, he just said the most important things directly.
I heard Pu Botao actually mention his love affair back then.
Huo Chengji's cloudy eyes seemed to suddenly gain a little more brilliance.
So he said:
"Actually, it's not that I'm hiding anything.
But just now, I really can't trust the people there too much. "
"how do I say this?"
"You also know that when I became an official, it was because of the Chongzhou curse.
In this situation, local officials are colluding with each other.
The eucalyptus was dragged again and again.
Surprisingly, the eucalyptus broke in the end.
But no one was caught. "
Hearing what Huo Chengji said, Pu Botao became interested for a moment.
It was actually the eucalyptus from back then, although he had also heard of it.
But because things involve something strange.
Therefore, the details have not been disclosed.
"Then, will the eucalyptus this time be an ordinary demon clan eucalyptus?"
I heard Pu Botao ask this.
Huo Chengji looked troubled.
Then he said:
"Actually, there was something I didn't say just now.
If this is the case, uu’s reading is really about monsters eating people.
That's actually a good thing.
What I fear most now is.
.
"
I heard Huo Chengji say that cannibalism is a good thing.
Pu Botao was also surprised.
This somewhat broke through his cognition.
"Is there anything worse than cannibalism?"
Hearing this, Huo Chengji's eyes darkened and he said:
“The Chongzhou Curse Gu at that time was actually a group of monsters and demonic lunatics.
Talk about restoring divine grace.
Therefore, they actually use extremely cruel methods to constantly find victims.
Moreover, what they did was not too subtle.
Their purpose turned out to be sacrifice. "
Upon hearing this, Pu Botao was also shocked.
His beard trembled.
said:
"what's the situation.
Sacrifice the human race, what else can they get.
It's just nonsense. "
Hearing this, Huo Chengji smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"But you can't stand it, people believe it.
So, people just dare to play like this.
And this time, no matter how I looked at it, it was weird.
Let me see, if they are not in a hurry to report.
I can't believe that something big is going to happen here. "
Hearing what Huo Chengji said so confidently, Pu Botao frowned tightly.
asked:
"Sacrifice, who are they sacrificing to?
Or what they want to cry out for. "
Hearing this, Huo Chengji sighed and said:
“There are too many specific things, and I can’t say too much.
However, the group of lunatics I came into contact with at that time.
Then the spirit to be called upon.
It is said to be an ancient demon god.
And his name is Jiuri. "
"Nine days?"
"Nine days!"
