After news of the ferocious beasts killing people came, the pressure on the county magistrate increased, and more and more people petitioned, hoping that the government could send people to hunt them as soon as possible.
The people were simply not satisfied with the few people sent out by the government before.
Usually they are afraid of the government and do not dare to deal with people from the government. They are afraid of returning home. They are also afraid of causing trouble for themselves and being punished by the government.
But right now, my life is already threatened, what more should I be afraid of?
That beast won't show any kindness to you. He will bite anyone he sees. He might break into the city where they live, and then the consequences will be disastrous.
The county magistrate felt that what the people said was not unreasonable, but the key was not that he didn't send people, but that he didn't have the strength.
The county government sent everyone it could.
There are only two people left in the entire yamen, but there are mountains everywhere, how can we search!
Just when the county magistrate was feeling depressed, someone appeared in front of him.
"You said you are from Shangjing, do you have an official seal?"
The county magistrate was not confused. A random person showed up and told him that he was a high-ranking official in Beijing. Who should he turn to for verification?
The best thing is the official seal.
As long as he sees the official seal, he can prove the other party's identity.
The visitor sneered, "I only have a private seal and never an official seal!"
This king!!
When the county magistrate heard these two words, his whole body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The court has never seen anyone who dares to pretend to be a prince, especially someone who dares to pretend to be a prince.
"Your Majesty, make atonement! I am a lowly official. I am too blind to see Mount Tai. I am..."
King Heng glanced at the person kneeling in front of him coldly. If his identity hadn't been revealed now, he would have dragged out people who were so rude to him and had them beheaded!
"It is not appropriate for my identity to be exposed. I just thought your Baofeng County has a pleasant scenery so I stayed there for a while. I never thought that such evil things would happen here. If the wild beasts are not eliminated, the people will be in trouble. You can't do this."
It must be resolved as soon as possible.”
What Prince Heng said is now the most difficult thing for the county magistrate to deal with. "As for the prince, it's not that I won't do it because I'm a subordinate. It's because the manpower is limited. Basically all the people from our county government have been sent out, but this small number of people can't even reach the top of a mountain."
Bu is dissatisfied..."
The county magistrate sighed repeatedly as he spoke, "You don't even know where a beast is hiding."
This also means that the people they send out every time cannot act alone. Otherwise, if they are unlucky enough to encounter a wild beast, the end will be quite tragic.
"Since I appear here and say such words, it means you don't have to worry about this matter anymore."
King Heng snapped his fingers, and a man came in from outside. His steps were extremely steady and he looked very strong.
"This is the person my subordinates found. They have a team with a very large number. I have hired them to search and kill the ferocious beasts."
The county magistrate looked at the strong man in front of him and felt slightly relieved.
Is it just employment that the prince mentioned? Does their county government also need to pay for it?
"Your Majesty, how much does this hire cost? Our county government may not have enough money..."
He was not embarrassed to say this. The fact that the county government had no money proved that he was an upright official.
"I will take care of it. You don't need to worry. What you need to do is to stabilize the people's hearts and stop putting the people in panic. There is no need to explain to the people what I have done. From my father's side...
After I return to the capital, I will naturally go back and tell you."
While others are still here, they must not expose this matter.
The reason why he wanted to get involved now was because he wanted to know what happened to his people. Even his best advisers were killed.
This made him extremely angry.
He wanted to find that beast and cut him into pieces.
In fact, when the news came to him, he didn't believe it. What kind of wild beast hurt people, he thought it was just an excuse made by others, but what his men said after going to see the scene in person made him
Have to believe it.
Corpses all over the ground.
Except for wild beasts, it is impossible for humans to create such a scene.
In this case, he could only look for this beast in this tone.
Speaking of hired people, in fact, these people are all his subordinates, but he cannot let others know that he has these powers, so he can only find this excuse.
"Your Majesty understands the righteousness, so I have thanked you on behalf of the people of Baofeng County. If the identity of the prince is not disclosed, I must let all the people of Baofeng County know your great achievements."
The county magistrate made Prince Heng very happy.
Prince Heng's expression was not ugly, "I will edit a book and give it to you after I return to the capital."
"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you."
The implication is that when I get back, when is the right time for you to reveal this matter, you should release it as soon as possible. What King Heng needs now is the people's support.
Although this matter has its disadvantages for him, in general the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The news that a large number of people began to go up the mountain to search for wild animals soon spread throughout Baofeng County, and even Beiguan Village knew about it.
Song Chen just smiled indifferently when he heard the news. No matter how they searched, they could not find anything even if they turned over the entire mountain.
"I heard that the county magistrate hired someone to search the mountain?"
Song Chen was rather interested in this.
Wen Ping nodded when he heard this, "That's what people say outside. It is said that at least five hundred people went up the mountain, all of them young and middle-aged men."
Song Chen nodded, "They are all young and middle-aged men, and they should be well-trained people. If you ask someone to find out the details of those people, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Yes, girl, I'll let someone go right now."
Youping is relatively good at this aspect. After Wenping asked Youping to go, he took the initiative to fill Youping's position.
Patrols here in Beiguan Village are becoming more and more frequent, and this situation always seems abnormal.
The people who had committed murder in the village had been sent to the county prison long ago. Now Beiguan Village can be said to be a truly harmonious village, and the whole village is of the same mind.
In several other villages around Beiguan Village, there are villages where Song Chen's industry is located. Seeing the situation in Beiguan Village, they also felt something different. After making some inquiries, they also organized a patrol in their own village.
Although the team is not as rigorous as Beiguancun, its role is still considerable.
They will also check strangers who come and go.
With their participation, the pressure on Beiguan Village seems to be lessened. With the villages in front and Shiping Village behind, Beiguan Village is surrounded.
But Song Chen still didn't dare to be careless and went to Zhuangzi to look for Cang Yi.
"You should know that the villages at the foot of our mountain are blocking patrols. I feel like something is going to happen, but those villages don't understand this. Can you send two people from each village to lead them?"
Song Chen was a little worried. If something really happened, they wouldn't understand anything and they would be dying in vain.
Cang Yi knew everything that happened in Baofeng County recently, and he had somewhat guessed the plans of Beiguan Village. "Miss Song, does that matter have anything to do with you?"
Cang Yi remembered that the previous Ouchi eunuch was also bitten to death by wild beasts.
Miss Song told him that she was lucky and helped her when she met a beast, but he only felt strange, but he didn't think much about it. After all, the world is full of wonders. Maybe Miss Song can tame beasts?
But this time, as soon as the whole story came to him, he subconsciously thought of Song Chen.
Song Chen glanced at Cang Yi indifferently, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Cang Yi shrank, "I'm just curious..."
"Didn't your master tell you? Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too curious."
"I understand, I'll arrange for someone to go down there."
Song Chen's words actually gave Cang Yi the answer, and Cang Yi understood it in his heart.
Because Song Chen didn't deny it when she answered this question. Although she didn't admit it directly, she probably just didn't want him to ask any more questions.
Although Cang Yi has a cheerful personality, he is not stupid. He understands the meaning of Song Chen's words.
"You guys... forget it, it's nothing, I'll go back first."
Song Chen originally wanted to ask Cang Yi when Cang Xiuxuan would come back, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't ask, so he turned around and left.
Since he didn't write a letter himself, she had nothing to ask. It would be best not to come back!
King Heng's people launched a carpet-like search on the mountain, starting from the location where King Heng's people were killed, and started searching on that mountain first.
There were so many of them that it was impossible for any situation to escape their eyes, but the result was disappointing. They found nothing there.
Not to mention wild animals, even wild boars were rarely seen.
It can only be said that their luck is relatively bad, because the big white tiger has walked up this mountain before. It was originally the king of the mountain, and it has wisdom in the space. Those animals on the mountain are definitely
Those who dare not encounter it will not dare to come out until the smell it leaves has completely dissipated.
"We found nothing on the mountain. Can we head to the next mountain now?" The purpose of their visit this time was not entirely about the beast.
The person being questioned glanced at their current location, and after observing for a while, determined their next destination.
He raised his hand and pointed, "Let's go over there. The mission given by the master must be completed and the beast must be captured. That side should be the closest to our final destination."
Their final destination is Beiguan Village!
This is an order given to them by their master, but it is not to kill people, but to invite people. No matter what, he will make Song Chen his, and he will also move her workshop in Beiguan Village exactly as it is.
