The nobles from all the villages said: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Zhitian Township."
"That monster is so bold and arrogant!"
He Lingchuan asked everyone: "There has been no missing case reported in Zhitian Township?"
Everyone shook their heads: "Not in recent years."
"Nothing unusual usually?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads: "Farming in the fields and countryside is normal, there is no problem."
He Lingchuan then said to the Baishi County Magistrate: "Tomorrow I want to go to the Haozhu Nest at the foot of the Moon Mountain to have a look."
"Hao Zhu Nest?" Baishi County Magistrate was surprised, "No one has been there for a long time. Is it possible that this matter has something to do with the case of the missing courier?"
"If there was no connection, I wouldn't be here." He Lingchuan's words made the county magistrate feel numb.
"I heard that an entire litter of piglets died in the burrow last year, which is quite bizarre." General Ling said rudely as soon as he started speaking, "Didn't this matter be investigated in detail?"
"At that time, heavy snow closed the mountains, and the villagers discovered them already in the spring of the following year. The demon nest was smashed by a huge boulder from above, which should be the cause of death." Baishi County Magistrate said, "These are all recorded and can be checked by the special envoy."
"What do you mean it should be?" General Ling was displeased, "If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. Didn't they send a police officer there at that time?"
"Yes, yes, I've sent the best widowers in the county." Magistrate Baishi didn't want to take this responsibility, "But after all, after a winter and spring, the bones have rotted away, so nothing else can be found.
"
When he said this, he sighed: "How can a litter of pigs be related to Lingxu City?"
He Lingchuan asked instead, "I heard that these pigs are very popular in the countryside?"
"Well, that's not good." A village official said, "Both water sources in Zhitian Township pass through their territory first, and then flow into our fields. These pigs often find reasons to cut off our water supply."
"Have you ever done anything?"
Everyone looked at each other again, and then one of the village nobles said slowly: "They are a local tyrant. They have injured many people, been sued, and lost money in the end, but none of us can do anything about them.
The county magistrate tried to mediate with us many times, but in the end we made some concessions."
General Ling sneered: "Give in? I think the losers must be those pigs. You guys are much smarter than the monkeys."
The wealthy man opened his mouth to argue, but was interrupted by the person next to him pulling his sleeves.
Why fight with the big monster?
He Lingchuan asked again: "What is the source of the contradiction?"
This time the local nobles were silent. Magistrate Baishi coughed and said, "It's still water."
