Chapter 432 What do you think?
The whole flower hall is not too big.
Although the name is called Flower Hall.
However, there are no flowers here.
On the contrary, the decoration is very elegant and solemn.
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with any flowers.
The so-called flower hall is just another living room different from the hall.
Think twice.
Wang Xiancheng still felt that this was the most appropriate place for the meeting.
"Magistrate Zhou will be arriving soon."
Wang Xiancheng said these words to Chief Secretary Zhang Deming beside him.
Wang Xiancheng is already over forty years old.
Although the clothes he wore were very simple.
But that steady temperament is very obvious.
It gives people a sense of peace of mind.
Although Zhang Deming serves as the chief bookkeeper in Quanzhou Fucheng.
But in fact, power usually doesn't matter much.
Although Quanzhou Prefecture has two of the most important mineral deposits.
Iron ore and silver iron ore.
But there are too many people staring at these things.
Therefore, although Quanzhou City is considered wealthy.
But most of the money is not available to the local government.
So this explains why Master Zhang is dressed more elegantly.
It's just a cotton robe.
If it weren't for a righteous appearance.
No one may notice that this is also a local official.
I heard the county magistrate's question.
Zhang Deming arched his body slightly and replied:
"It should be arriving soon.
Today the county magistrate invited Mr. Puhuo to discuss the case together.
After all, this is considered a major case here.
If a tone cannot be set as soon as possible.
That would be too much..."
Zhang Deming did not choose to say the next words.
But everyone can know that this is just because he really has a bad choice of words next.
Then he shut up.
After all, the county magistrate has not yet set the tone on this matter.
Therefore, no words can be said carelessly.
He seemed to be aware of Zhang Deming's embarrassment.
Wang Xiancheng directly avoided this topic.
So he took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly:
"Have Wang Yong and the others already set off?"
Zhang Deming can answer this question.
He couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
What if the county magistrate kept asking questions that he couldn't answer?
That would be too embarrassing.
Zhang Deming gently wiped the slight sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Then he said:
"Wang Captou and the others have already gone out early in the morning.
Calculating the time, they think the two lawyers should be here soon."
Hearing this, Wang Xiancheng nodded.
It seems that I am still very satisfied with this answer.
What happened recently is really strange.
They can't be too sure about what these things are.
The entire county has become somewhat tense.
The two of them were talking.
Suddenly, the door of the flower hall was opened directly.
Then, one age is about forty.
A middle-aged man wearing Qingsong uniform.
He led two old gentleman-looking people in.
Saw the man coming in.
Both Wang Xiancheng and Master Zhang stood up in a hurry.
Then he said politely:
"County magistrate, you are finally back."
As the two of them talked, the three of them began to walk into the flower hall.
The middle-aged man waved his hands to the two of them.
Obviously, I don’t want to say more.
Then, he led the two old gentlemen to take their seats.
It can be seen that County Magistrate Zhou actually wanted to give up his position.
One of the two old men immediately said:
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, inappropriate."
Even though he said so.
But he was obviously very satisfied with his respect for the county magistrate.
After hearing this, Magistrate Zhou said:
"Mr. Huo is too polite.
There is no county official here, and I am just a student of your husband.
How to dare to sit down.
Please take your seat, sir.
Just sit down with the students."
Huo Chengji saw that Magistrate Zhou spoke calmly and his attitude was very respectful.
He wanted to give it up again.
The other person who looked younger said:
"Mr. Huo, please sit down quickly.
I also want to know the whole story quickly.
How is the situation now?
What progress has been made?
You don't know.
This incident has already gone viral in neighboring Yanqu County.
It is said that three hundred people died.
Yes and no."
Obviously, Pu Botao is impatient.
All of a sudden I was anxious to communicate about safety.
He was talking a lot along the way just now, but he didn't say a word.
This really frustrated him.
Just like that, I heard Pu Botao's words.
Huo Chengji is not pretentious either.
However, he still gave Pu Botao a warning look.
Boy, I don’t even know where this place is.
The words were not given importance.
Is this the right place to discuss this?
However, he still took the first place directly.
Then, Magistrate Zhou waved his hand, and everyone sat down.
After ordering someone to serve the fragrant tea.
Magistrate Zhou also waved his hand and dismissed the young man.
After seeing the door closed.
Magistrate Zhou confirmed again.
There's no one else here anymore.
Therefore, County Magistrate Zhou said:
“The matter is actually not that serious.
There shouldn’t be that many people dead.”
Hearing Magistrate Zhou's tone, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao both breathed a sigh of relief.
But Huo Chengji immediately said:
"County Lord, you'd better tell us the whole thing in detail.
This makes many people panic now.
Some people even say that the demon clan has invaded in large numbers.
Are these true?
Also, are the people in the entire village completely dead?"
Huo Chengji's question once again made the atmosphere in the whole room tense.
Magistrate Zhou looked at Wang Xian Cheng and Master Zhang who were standing aside.
I really didn’t expect that this matter is now known to everyone.
It's really a good thing not to go out.
Bad things spread thousands of miles.
Several people looked at each other, all with wry smiles on their faces.
Finally, Magistrate Zhou winked.
Wan Xian Cheng understood, so he immediately cleared his throat.
Then he said:
"This matter started five days ago.
The urban defense of our Quanzhou County is managed by the Quanzhou Defense Office.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two gentlemen also know this.
But just five days ago, our newly appointed defense officer, Shi Xinrong, made a direct transfer order.
Let all the defense posts next to Feimu Village be moved out and changed.
It’s absolutely extraordinary.”
After saying this, Wang Xian Cheng seemed to have just revealed a big secret.
Even his voice has been lowered.
And heard Shi Xinrong's name.
Huo Chengji and Pu Botao also looked at each other.
Both of them saw the subtle curiosity and caution in the eyes of others.
But the two of them did not interrupt.
Instead, he looked at Wang County Cheng quietly.
Obviously, both of them were waiting for Wang Xiancheng's next words.
They knew that these rumors outside could not be explained by such a vague statement.
Sure enough, he didn't interrupt when he saw the two of them.
Wang Xiancheng continued to speak.
"But then, what surprised everyone was...
Just when the defense forces next to the village were being moved out.
That night, someone went back to look for something he had left behind.
It's a coincidence.
People unexpectedly discovered a village not far from where they were originally stationed.
The entire Feimu Village, with more than seventy households and nearly 312 people, all disappeared neatly.
No matter the village or its population.
Everything suddenly and completely disappeared."
When hearing this sentence.
Everyone changed color at the same time.
Even Magistrate Zhou and Master Zhang, who already knew the results, turned pale.
Obviously, they are not far away from facing such a situation.
When Pu Botao heard this, he couldn't help but interjected:
"What's the meaning.
The house in the village was lost.
Or everyone in the village was lost.
Or some other situation.
When did this happen?
Just stop hiding it."
Obviously, Pu Botao was already a little anxious.
He really couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Wang Xiancheng in telling stories.
And when he said this, Wang County Cheng also restrained himself a lot.
Then he continued:
"The whole village has disappeared.
Someone saw that the traces of foundation pressure were still there in that village.
But those houses have long since disappeared.
Moreover, the people there have completely disappeared.
This is really terrifying.”
Speaking of this, Wan Xian Cheng stopped talking.
After all, these are already too sensitive.
after awhile.
He seemed to have adjusted his mood.
Then he continued:
"So, this is the first incredible thing about this matter."
The first time they heard such a bizarre story, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao were both stunned.
This is the first time they have heard this story.
Therefore, Pu Botao couldn't help but said:
"Then let's put it this way. This incident, from beginning to end, is just a village that mysteriously disappeared.
There is no need to trouble us to participate.”
But who knew it would be better if he didn't say it.
Once you say it like this, it's obvious.
The environment here is not very good.
Just listen to Wang County Cheng continue to introduce.
"We have already inspected the site.
But I didn't find anything valuable at all.
So, the whole thing was left hanging.
That’s what worries us all.”
Hearing this, Huo Chengji gradually began to have concerns.
So, he opened his mouth and said:
"So, the most suspicious person in this matter is the person who changed the defense near the village?"
Huo Chengji said this sentence with a certain power.
He just finished speaking.
Pu Botao also seemed to react.
So he said:
"Who on earth did such an appalling thing.
It was actually able to make the entire village and all the people in the village disappear.
This is not an ordinary method."
When the topic came to this point, Magistrate Zhou and Cheng Wang also looked at each other again.
Then he continued:
“Later, people based on specific surveys came back to report.
It feels like there is a demon clan involved in this matter."
When they heard about the demon clan, Pu Botao and Huo Chengji's faces froze slightly.
They are really monsters.
Sure enough, the rumors were true.
But soon, Pu Botao reacted.
"Then it doesn't mean that this person who changed his defense is the nail planted by the monster clan.
Haha, it's really good.
Some people don't do it.
He went so far as to hook up with the monster clan.
It is true that the demon clan deserves to die.
But this talent is really disgusting.
This kind of person will definitely deserve to die."
But Pu Botao's words were not offensive at all.
Instead, everyone present nodded slightly.
Obviously, they also think so.
Huo Chengji also quickly added and asked:
"Then this person ran away before.
Where is he now?"
After saying this, Wang Xiancheng continued.
"Of course he didn't run away.
To be honest, it's strange.
This is new to Stone Defense.
Just after the defense order was issued.
He completely disappeared.
Totally missing."
This thing seems to be a very unbelievable thing.
Even Wang Xiancheng couldn't help but shudder when he talked about this matter.
The statement that it is even more missing adds an air of mystery.
After hearing this, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao both expressed doubts in unison:
"disappeared?"
Wang County Cheng nodded.
"Yes, he just disappeared.
For three whole days, no one was alive and no corpse was seen.
We also searched everywhere.
After all, this can be regarded as an official of the imperial court.
How could his disappearance not make everyone worried?
Especially, he is still..."
Wan Xian Cheng did not say much about the rest.
Obviously, he also realized that he had made a mistake.
That's why I didn't tell the whole story.
In fact, they asked these two old gentlemen to come over today.
It also means asking for countermeasures.
Both Huo Chengji and Pu Botao once had official status.
Huo Chengji, in particular, was a magistrate.
His perspective on problems is naturally different from others.
Therefore, Wang Xiancheng seemed to have whetted everyone's appetite.
Then he continued:
"Although he is missing, he is missing.
But in the end, we captured him.
Haha, he wants to escape from our grasp, but he still thinks too much."
Although, Wan Xian Cheng's words were heroic.
But there are no fools here.
No one would believe that the disappearance of a village and its hundreds of people would be done by a foolhardy and intrepid person.
The only explanation is that Shi Xinrong should not have absconded.
When the government discovered something, he didn't even resist at all.
Otherwise, they would not believe that a small county could catch someone who had done such a thing.
They didn't believe it, but they still had patience and listened to Wan Xian Cheng continue:
"But when he came back, we also asked him about the transfer order.
But who would have thought that at this moment he was completely denying these things.
At the same time, he could not explain clearly where he had been during the past few days when he had been missing.
Went to meet someone.
It’s not even clear how he was discovered.”
After everyone heard this, they all had some thoughts of their own.
So, Huo Chengji said:
"Doesn't this mean that this kid is completely clueless now?
What's happening here.
Does he think he can escape by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
County Magistrate Zhou saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he continued:
"So, I invite two gentlemen to come today.
I just want to ask your opinion on this matter.
I don’t know what you two think.”
