Chapter Eleven The Massacre
In the county government office of Shuichuan County, a middle-aged man with a beard was walking around the back hall with a gloomy face.
As the county magistrate of Shuichuan County, Tang Zhong has not been as anxious as he is today for many years.
Hundreds of residents died overnight in the entire county town, and most of them were heartbroken.
Several of the young women not only had their hearts poached, but their belly was also broken.
Thinking of the tragic situation of the corpses I saw not long ago, Tang Zhong clenched his fists tightly.
"Who is it that dares to do such a bad thing."
What a crazy method to bring hundreds of people to their hearts overnight.
Just when Tang Zhong was furious about the murder case of a hundred people, Zhang Wei, the county magistrate, hurried into the back hall.
"Sir, it's not good. Someone else has happened in the county town."
When he came to Tang Zhong, Zhang Wei reported the report in a hurry.
"What, something happened again?"
Tang Zhong looked shocked and immediately asked.
"How did you die?"
"Drowned in drowning."
"Drowned...it's fine, it shouldn't be the same person who did the murder last night."
When Tang Zhong heard that he had died of drowning, he breathed a little relieved.
Zhang Wei stood in front of Tang Zhong, looked at his slightly relaxed face, opened his mouth and spoke again.
"Although they died of drowning, there were quite a few people who died this time, seven of them."
"Also, these seven people have just died, and their drowning looks a bit weird."
"What a strange method?" Tang Zhong raised his thick eyebrows and continued to ask in a deep voice.
"It is so, according to the statements of the relatives of the deceased, the dead who died in drowning..."
In the next half of the incense period, Zhang Wei began to tell Tang Zhong word by word, with relevant news about the seven drowning dead.
Standing in the back hall with his hands in his arms, Tang Zhong carefully listened to all Zhang Wei's words, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He found that the seven drowning dead were different, although the drowning locations were different.
There are various places such as well water, pools, river water, etc.
However, they have one thing in common: they are all water attracted by something and eventually drowned inexplicably. The way they die is indeed very strange.
For example, Zhao Si, who drowned in the well water, found that there was a mysterious object emitting golden light in the well. When he went down to salvage, he drowned alive at the bottom of the well.
The male deceased drowned in the pool was because he found a young and beautiful woman who fell into the pool. In desperation, he jumped into the pool for rescue. He never floated up again as soon as he jumped in.
As for the dead drowning in the river, it was a fisherman. It is said that when he was fishing, he saw a looming underwater palace at the bottom of the river, and then he went away forever.
"Zhang Zhubu, do you think it is possible? These two 'murders' incidents are not artificial."
Tang Zhong, who was silent for a long time, spoke again with a hint of affirmation in his tone.
“Not artificial?”
Zhang Wei pinched a small beard on his chin, thought carefully about Tang Zhong's words, then raised his head suddenly, widened his eyes and screamed.
"Sir, are you saying that there are demons in the county?"
"Yes." Tang Zhong nodded with a serious expression.
Apart from the demons, he really couldn't think of any kind of creature that could have such ability.
Although, according to the county chronicles, no demons have appeared in Shuichuan County for more than ten years, the whereabouts of demons are mysterious and no one can guess where they will appear.
"And I suspect that the number of demons in the county is not only one, but there are very likely two."
After affirming Zhang Wei's guess, Tang Zhong continued in a heavy tone.
"Sir, if this is the case, then we must go to the Demon Suppressing Division in the Mansion City to invite the Demon Suppressing Master, otherwise there will be no idea how many people will die in the entire county."
Thinking of the terrible part of the demon, Zhang Wei suggested that he trembled his lips.
Demons are a murderer who can't blink, and their killing methods are extremely strange and cannot be guarded against. When ordinary people encounter them, they will almost die without death.
"This is natural, without further ado, Zhang Zhubu, you should immediately inform Zhao Lidian and let him rush to Fucheng Town Demon Sect immediately and invite the Demon Sect."
Zhao Lidian, whose full name is Zhao Wei, is the most powerful person in the county government. Sending him to the city can prevent accidents from happening in the middle of the journey to the greatest extent.
"Yes, the lower official will go to the official decree now." After receiving the order, Zhang Wei quickly withdrew from the back hall.
Not long after Zhang Wei left, a strong man with dark skin rode a big yellow horse and rushed to Lin'an Mansion City at lightning.
Shortly after Zhao Wei left, several figures wearing white clothes and smelling cloud patterns on their chests came to the entrance of the county.
One man and three women were all very young. The man was in the front and the three women were slightly behind.
"Young Master, I think there is a lot of strange things about the appearance of Canjian Zhenren in Shuichuan County this time."
Just as a man and three women were about to step into Shuichuan County, the woman closest to the man suddenly spoke.
While speaking, her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, adding a touch of charm to her gorgeous face.
"Bang..."
The man walking in front suddenly stopped and stopped.
He stood upright with his head held high, looked around the large number of buildings ahead, and gave a long air outlet.
"I don't know that there is something strange about it, but to see the style of a real person called "the first sword under the Grandmaster", it's not worth taking some small risks."
After the young man finished speaking, he raised his long boots embroidered with a large number of cloud patterns and stepped into Shuichuan County in one step.
After several turns, the young man brought three maids to the Shanzhen Tower.
His eyes were somewhat complicated and he glanced at the plaque with the three big words "Shan Zhenlou" written on it. The young man raised his footsteps and entered the building.
"Shopkeeper, are there any rooms on the third floor?"
As soon as he entered the Shanzhen Building, the young man went straight to the counter and took out a token with the word "white" engraved on the front and a cloud pattern on the back. After handing it to the shopkeeper's hand, he asked in a low voice.
The shopkeeper of Shanzhenlou took the token and looked at it for a while. A chrysanthemum-like smile immediately appeared on his round face.
He opened his mouth wide and said:
"It turns out that it is the young man from Baiyun Villa..."
"Shh!" Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, the young man immediately raised his index finger and placed it in front of his lips, signaling the shopkeeper not to make a sound.
"Shopkeeper, are there any rooms on the third floor?" Seeing that the shopkeeper had already known his identity, the young man asked softly again.
"Some, some, of course, there are some." The shopkeeper of Shanzhenlou responded with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on the smile-like round face of the shopkeeper of Shanzhenlou.
After hesitating for a moment, he moved his head close to the young man, opened his lips slightly and said a few words.
"oh?"
"This is actually happening. It seems that I came late today and missed a good show."
After listening to the words of the shopkeeper of Shanzhenlou, the young man looked at the location of the East Room on the third floor with curiosity in his eyes, and then spoke.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I don't know that kind of brother. He shouldn't cause trouble for me for no reason. You can open the Beizi room to me."
After hearing what the young man said, the shopkeeper of Shanzhenlou didn't say much.
At that moment, he personally took the young man and his group to the Beizi room on the third floor.
At the same time, in the Dong-sized room, the little girl who was quietly drawing talisman paper, heard the noise outside the door and her little ears moved.
"Young Master, it seems that someone has come to the third floor again."
"Draw talismans with peace of mind." Xu Ming, who was also drawing talisman paper, responded without looking back.
When the little girl heard this, she quickly lowered her head, dared not say anything anymore, and continued to draw talismans to complete today's homework.
Behind the two, Liu Chong, whose internal strength was sealed, was tied up and threw it on the ground and fell into a coma.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already evening. Xu Ming looked at the sky gradually getting dark outside, stretched his waist, and stood up from the ground.
After drawing the talisman for most of the day, he was also a little tired.
After glanced at the little girl who had been resting on the bed for half an hour, Xu Ming came to the door and prepared to ask the waiter downstairs to bring some food.
As soon as the door was opened, the laziness on Xu Ming's face suddenly disappeared. His head suddenly turned and he quickly looked to the right side, which was where the Beizi room was located.
