Chapter 420 The Ancient Tree Advances Again
Yunhuang Province, Guiyuan City, as the largest city in Yunhuang, the Governor's Mansion is located here.
At this moment, two men were sitting opposite each other in the Governor's Mansion.
Governor Ji Yuchen looked to be about fifty years old, similar in age to Ji Zegang, while the man opposite looked to be in his seventies, and his face was full of indignation at this moment.
"Second uncle, don't be so angry. Ze Gang just suffered some flesh injuries."
Ji Yuchen had already received the news from Bimang City, and before he could react, his second uncle, Ji Zegang's father, Ji Wuju, rushed over in a hurry.
Ji Wuju previously served as the chief judicial officer in Yunhuang Province and had many disciples, but now he has retired.
"Flesh wounds? You don't know that if someone hadn't stopped him, your cousin would have been beaten to death!"
When Ji Wuju mentioned this, his face was still full of indignation.
Before Ji Yuchen was born, the Ji family had already been deeply rooted in Yunhuang Province. There were many awakened people in the family who controlled many important departments of Yunhuang.
Whether in business or politics, the Ji family occupies a pivotal position.
After Ji Yuchen was promoted to the seventh level of divine power, the family worked together and pushed him to the position of governor of Yunhuang Province. Since then, the Ji family can be said to be a powerful presence in Yunhuang Province.
Even if a clan member makes a mistake, as long as it is not too outrageous, it will not have much impact.
For example, some younger members of the family showed off their wealth and resources on the Internet, which caused a lot of attention and even the indignation of many people. However, after the Ji family's management, the matter was basically reduced to a minor matter.
The news that came back today made everyone in the Ji family angry.
My family was almost beaten to death in the area under their jurisdiction! This simply didn't take the Ji family seriously.
"I need an explanation for this matter."
Looking at his second uncle Ji Wuju's still unyielding look, Ji Yuchen rubbed his temples for a long time and said calmly.
"This matter is not easy to deal with. After all, this is a special period. What Ze Gang and the others are doing may not be able to be suppressed."
The victims are not ordinary people. The relevant departments can just deal with each other and that's it. They are the Night Criminal Division!
This is a military organization, and it is a very powerful team. Even in Ji Yuchen's opinion, it is quite difficult.
"What should we do?"
Ji Wuju was not someone who didn't understand this. What he said before was mainly to vent his anger and put some pressure on Ji Yuchen.
"Find a way to dismiss him first, get him back, and then change his name and identity after the storm has passed."
Ji Wuju was stunned for a moment and said angrily.
"Isn't this too frustrating? What about the Night Punishment Division? No one died."
Ji Yuchen felt a little headache when he saw his second uncle's attitude.
"Second uncle, it would be great if they can do this. With what they have done, if they go to a military court, they will be executed. By then, we will not be able to do anything."
Execution!
Ji Wuju calmed down a little. He didn't expect that Ji Zegang would be held so responsible for what he committed this time.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements and have someone bring him back tonight. I'll pick him up halfway."
"OK."
Watching Ji Wuju leave, Ji Yuchen stood up, looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, and muttered to himself.
"Xiao Chen? It's not easy to rescue people from the deep mountains of Yunhuang. However, it's really too overbearing!"
After hearing the news, he was a little angry, but he immediately made his previous decision.
Unlike his second uncle, he is very aware of some of the above things. If it were in the past, he might have asked Xiao Chen to be punished for hurting others, but now it is wartime, and the Night Criminal Division will be more important in the eyes of the higher-ups.
.
However, he has already remembered the name Xiao Chen.
............................
In the hotel, Xiong Qingshan looked at everyone in front of him excitedly and jumped down from the hospital bed.
"team leader!"
A group of people finally reunited, and Xiong Qingshan couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
"Old Xiong, I heard that you encouraged Xiao Chen to go in and find us. He is crazy, and you are really crazy too."
Liu Zimo patted Xiong Qingshan on the shoulder. Xiong Qingshan was stunned and said with a naive smile.
"I didn't think much about it at the time."
In the initial battle with the black-scaled sky-swallowing python, Xiong Qingshan, as the only person in the team with the ability to defend in close combat, was the first to charge forward.
However, he completely underestimated the strength of the black-scaled sky-swallowing python, and was whipped away by its tail, smashing it against the city wall.
But precisely because of this tail, he and Xu Zhaohua and others were separated, and were later rescued by the city guards.
Therefore, he actually had no idea what Liu Xiaolong and the others were doing at that time.
At this time, I saw that there were no happy expressions on the faces of several people, so I couldn't help but ask.
"Captain, what's wrong? Why do you feel so depressed?"
No one spoke for a long time. Mo Jinglan stood up and said.
"I'm going to get some air."
Mo Jinglan and Xu Zhaohua had both left, leaving Ye Ran to talk to Xiong Qingshan about the specific process of the past few days.
.............................
Xiong Qingshan and Mo Jinglan arrived at Xiao Chen's room and saw Xiao Chen sitting alone by the window, looking into the distance without saying a word.
Xiao Chen almost killed Ji Zegang today, which was a serious violation of discipline, but neither Xu Zhaohua nor Mo Jinglan said anything.
To this day, they are still unwilling to recall the scene of Yang Ennuo's death.
"They are all in custody. Tomorrow someone will take them to a military court. They will be punished for several crimes. They will all die."
Mo Jinglan finished speaking softly and walked out.
Xu Zhaohua looked at Xiao Chen's back and knew that he had something to say in his heart, but he just didn't want to say it to himself. He patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, knowing that now was not the time to comfort Xiao Chen, he also backed out.
Xiao Chen and Mu Xiaowan were the only two people left in the room.
She didn't know what happened, but Mu Xiaowan knew that her brother was in a very bad mood today. She had rarely seen Xiao Chen in such a low mood.
However, she felt that Xiao Chen didn't want to talk before, so she stayed with Xiao Chen quietly.
At this time, Xu Zhaohua and others left, she said softly.
"Brother, what happened?"
Xiao Chen moved his eyes back from the window, still playing with the glass container containing ginseng fruit in his hand.
Seeing Mu Xiaowan's worried look, Xiao Chen forced a smile.
"It's nothing, I just found that some things are not the same as I imagined."
Yes, it's not the same.
He thought of the faces of Ji Zegang and Liu Xiaolong who had closed the city gate tightly and narrowed their eyes outside the city gate today.
"I shouldn't have been so naive. When did I have such unrealistic fantasies about these people?"
For three years, when they were hiding and running for survival, he had no illusions. Whenever the infected were blocked and they might die at any time, he had no illusions either.
Once upon a time, everything he did was to keep himself and his sister alive.
