Chapter 46: Feeding the body from the thief(1/2)
The next morning.
Bei City is as busy as ever with cars and people.
Yesterday, rumors spread across the county about the incident of evil people feeding monsters, but it seemed that it did not affect these hard-working people who were rushing to the morning market.
Also, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
The big things in the eyes of big men have little to do with ordinary people.
The leaders of Guizhou only care about their three meals a day...
On the broad long street where livestock passed, no one noticed that a large dog as big as a calf, with eyes glowing green, slipped into Beishi.
It wasn't until the big dog pounced on an innocent pedestrian and bit the pedestrian's throat that there was a burst of panic.
In an instant, the crowd was running in all directions, bumping into many old, weak, women and children.
The parents are missing and the young son is missing.
The children are missing their father.
The husband has disappeared and his wife has disappeared.
There were also unbelieving butchers and hunters who came forward with sharp knives and hatchets, intending to kill the man-eating beast.
However, the big dog is not like an ordinary beast. The dog's claws have copper hammers and claws like sharp blades!
With a casual swing, someone can be knocked several feet away and fall to the ground.
With just one claw, you can cut off a person's arms and head like tofu.
The strong smell of blood permeated the early morning fog.
This peaceful and lively morning was covered with a layer of blood that even the bright sunshine in May could not dispel.
What's even more shocking is...
Such a vicious event, in which an unparalleled monster enters the city and starts killing people, is actually not an independent incident!
…
"What did you say?"
Chen Sheng, who was sitting on the steps in front of the hall and slurping noodles with a big bowl of egg noodles bigger than his face, felt that there was something wrong with his hearing after listening to Chen Hu's words: "Can you say it again?"
Chen Hu still has a look of horror on his face that cannot be concealed: "There are monsters and beasts that cannibalize people in all four cities, especially the four cities!"
"All four cities?"
Chen Sheng frowned fiercely: "Aren't there at least four monsters? Where are the county offices? Where are the county soldiers? Where are the city pavilions?"
Chen Hu: "Except for the cat monster in Nan City who couldn't avoid it and died in the encirclement and suppression by the county soldiers, all the other monsters fled!"
"big eater!"
Chen Sheng was so angry that he raised the noodle bowl in his hand, but when he was about to throw it down, he was reluctant to let it go. He had to vent his anger by talking trash: "It is better to have a bunch of losers and a dog than to have these stupid bureaucrats, garbage, waste, and worms.
What are you using..."
Chen Hu:???
Chen Sheng scolded him for a while, then he managed to suppress the anger in his heart and carefully review the whole story.
Once again, after reviewing the entire incident from beginning to end, he suddenly discovered that this group of people had been extremely aggressive in their reactions to sudden accidents.
The first time, after the men Zhao Si sent to collect cleaning fees smashed their stall selling yellow talismans, they sent people to ambush Zhao Si that night!
The second time, after the ambush against Zhao Si failed, Beishi Pavilion sent pavilion servants to arrest him, but this group of people brazenly gathered people to kill Chen County!
The third time, that is, this time, after the incident of feeding people to monsters was exposed, and the day after the county government issued the sea arrest document, they actually allowed monsters to eat people!
This can no longer be called retribution!
But it can only be called: brainless!
But this also shows that what this group of people is planning is huge and urgent!
Also, this group of people didn’t take Chen County’s government seriously at all!
As long as these people have the slightest idea of "taking it slowly" in their minds, they won't act so unscrupulously!
Chen Sheng vaguely felt that he was afraid... that he had kicked the steel plate!
"Oh shit!"
He tilted his mouth depressedly and spat, then stood up and said: "Second uncle, please go to the Tiger Hall immediately and tell the thirteenth uncle that the matters discussed last night should be put aside for the time being and that they should maintain the status quo. They must not act rashly in the near future!"
At this moment, he was just glad that the relationship between Zhao Si and the Chen family had not been exposed yet.
What happened yesterday, although they ruined a big thing for this group of thieves, they also killed one of them.
But generally speaking, all the actions of the Hongshang Chen family yesterday were normal reactions and were not intended to target anyone.
My businessman, the Chen family, has lost his son. How can I not find him?
The son of my businessman, the Chen family, was killed, and there were traces of the murderer feeding people to monsters at the scene. I have to report it to the official, right?
You sent people to attack and kill me. There was no way I would not defend myself and stretch my neck for you to chop me, right?
This logic may sound a bit convoluted.
But the fact is that Chen Sheng already knew that the group of thieves wearing khaki turbans were behind the incident of feeding humans to monsters.
The gang of thieves don't know yet, but Chen Sheng already knows that they are behind this incident.
What's more, they didn't know that Chen Sheng had also set up a trap to kill the men they sent into Chen County earlier.
As for the feud with the Chen family, a businessman, and someone died...
They don't even care about Chen County and the county government, so how could they care about enmity with the Chen family, a businessman?
Dead people? How many people die in this kind of business? What does it matter?
To put it harshly, there are many people who have grudges against us. Who do you think you are, the Chen family, a merchant in Chen County?
This lack of information does not help Chen Sheng to deal with the current situation.
The elite members of the Chen family, a businessman, are out selling goods, and the family is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people.
Due to the complex environment of Chen County, the Tiger Hall cannot reveal its connection with the Chen family, a businessman, for the time being.
Therefore, even with this information gap in hand and Chen Sheng having no cards to play, it would still be of no use.
But grasping this information gap will help Chen Sheng to change the positions of the Chen family, a businessman, and that group of thieves.
Now in the eyes of the gang of thieves, the Chen family, a businessman, is working in the open and they are working in the dark.
But with this information gap, it turns out that the gang of thieves is doing it openly, while the Chen family, who is a businessman, is doing it secretly!
The gap between light and darkness is huge!
The Chen family, a businessman in the Ming Dynasty, can only passively wait for the gang of thieves to come to take revenge!
And the Chen family, a businessman, can actively choose the time to enter the market and liquidate it secretly, and... add fuel to the flames!
This point is particularly important for the situation that the Chen family of Hongshang is facing now, where the enemy is strong and we are weak!
…
After hearing this, Chen Hu hesitated for a few breaths and whispered hesitantly: "Dalang, is it possible that this matter can just be settled like this?"
"Someone in our family died, and so many uncles were injured..."
Chen Sheng took a big mouthful of egg noodles and sneered with a mouth full of soup: "How could you just forget about it!"
"It's just that we're not as powerful as others right now, so there's no need for us to fight to the death with them!"
"This group of people is acting so radically, and we, the merchant Chen family, are not the only ones who have enmity with them!"
"If they can always have the absolute upper hand, then that's it. No matter how many people are enemies with them, they still dare to be angry and dare not speak out!"
"But with their current reckless and reckless approach, how can it continue smoothly?"
"That step is too big, and it might even break the egg!"
"Once they show even a hint of weakness, all those who dare to be angry and fearless will immediately swarm up and eat them up!"
"What we have to do now is to preserve our strength and wait for the day when they show their weakness!"
As the old saying goes, if Heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy!
In Chen Sheng's eyes, the behavior of this group of thieves is not far from crazy!
Changing places, if he were the person in charge of this group of thieves, he could easily think of a hundred ways to achieve the current goal without alerting Chenjun's government!
And what this group of thieves are doing now is undoubtedly the worst kind... bar none!
Chen Hu looked at him hesitantly, and then said in a low voice for a while: "Da Lang, the second uncle has little education, you can't lie to the second uncle!"
When Chen Sheng heard this, he said angrily: "Second uncle, the person who was almost beaten to death by them yesterday was me! Could it be that in your eyes, I am the kind of bastard who accepts everything and knocks out his teeth and swallows the blood?"
?”
Chen Hu looked him up and down, nodded and said: "Like!"
