When Chu Nan and Wei Yue arrived at the Wang family's mansion with their troops, the ant colony had dissipated. In the huge Wang family's mansion, there were corpses one after another. Apart from the face, only a skeleton remained.
There were puddles of dark red blood on the ground that had not yet dried up. Even people with little experience in criminal investigation could tell that these people had not been dead for a long time.
Chu Nan had people clean up the scene and carry away the bodies, and also had people liquidate the Wang family's land and other wealth. The Wang family was directly wiped out, and no one inherited the wealth. Naturally, it had to be taken back to the government office and redistributed.
This is also the main purpose of Chu Nan coming here personally.
"Tap tap tap~"
Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhang Hong rushed over with a group of people. Due to his good cultivation, Chu Nan still raised his hands to Zhang Hong and said, "Fu Jun is here."
Zhang Hong did not answer, but looked at the skeletons being carried out one after another, his expression gloomy as if he was about to drip.
The bones of each corpse had been chewed clean except for their skin, as if they were deliberately trying to identify them.
fluttering~
The demon ant flapped its wings and landed on Chu Nan's shoulder in front of Zhang Hong.
"Chu Ziyan!" Zhang Hong looked at the monster ant on Chu Nan's shoulder, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: "As a county magistrate, how dare you let the monster do harm!?"
"Master Fu, you can eat this food randomly, and you will be killed at most, but you can't talk nonsense. When did I let the monster do evil?" Chu Nan turned around and looked at Zhang Hong and said: "Although I am under the jurisdiction of Master Fu, The Han Dynasty has its own laws, and it cannot allow the prince to use his power to bully others and frame others for no reason! Whose eyes did the prince see that he was letting the monster do the harm?"
"That monster on your shoulder is the evidence!" Zhang Hong pointed at the monster ant on Chu Nan's shoulder and shouted loudly.
"What kind of evidence is this?" Chu Nan asked back: "Because the Wang family was plagued by ants, and I happened to have an ant, so this is what I did?"
Zhang Hong snorted angrily: "Who else can do this besides you!?"
"That's what I said..." Chu Nan shook his head and said: "Master Fu, the Li family was wiped out yesterday, and the murderer's methods were ruthless and decisive. Now there are only a few wealthy families in Pi City who can do this. Can I judge based on this? , is this what these families did? Arrest them all!?"
"How can this be the same? You are the county magistrate, and you need evidence to handle the case!" Zhang Hong snorted, but his momentum was not as good as before.
"Yes, evidence is required to handle the case. How can I be directly convicted just because I raised an ant, and the Wang family was wiped out by ants? Mr. Fu, I know you can't stand me, but you can't You can't openly avenge your private vengeance like this, right? The dispute between you and me is due to public service and involves private grudges... Mr. Fu, you didn't write this Han law, did you? Just do what you say? Is there any natural reason for this? Otherwise If you arrest me, this county magistrate will really no longer be able to serve." After Chu Nan finished speaking, he stretched out his hands, looking helpless.
Zhang Hong looked at Chu Nan with an expressionless expression, and then looked at Wei Yue who had already pressed the handle of the knife with an ugly expression.
Catch Chu Nan?
Zhang Hong didn't have the guts, not to mention the guards behind Chu Nan who were all eyeing him. Even if there weren't, he wouldn't dare to arrest Chu Nan so openly. Otherwise, Lu Bu would come to him with Fang Tian's painted halberd to talk to him.
Zhang Hong knows better than anyone how much Lu Bu protects his shortcomings. Sooner or later, a foolish person will die a good death!
Cursing secretly in his heart, he took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart: "Then what happens today, how are you going to handle it, Magistrate Chu?"
"In my opinion, although the Wang family's extermination and the Li family's extermination have different methods, they are equally cruel. They should be done by the same group of people. We can investigate the two cases together. What do you think?"
Chu Nan looked at Zhang Hong and smiled.
"One was injured by a sword, and the other was injured by a monster. How can it be normal?" Zhang Hong was obviously dissatisfied with the result. Everyone knew who was responsible for the destruction of the Li family.
"In two days, two tribes were wiped out in succession, with the same cruel and ruthless methods. If you say there is no connection between them, I don't believe it. If you have other opinions, why don't I hand over the documents to the county government, and the county government will
Come check." Chu Nan looked at Zhang Hongdao.
Zhang Hong looked at Chu Nan with a gloomy expression, came to Chu Nan's side and whispered: "Zi Yan, you must behave according to the rules."
"Yes, but I can't let others break the rules. I have to abide by the rules. Otherwise I will only get beaten and I will be very passive. I like to take the initiative; besides, I can't let others play dirty tricks with me shamelessly, but I
You should also be rigid and upright. Rules are useful only if everyone abides by them. You can't just expect me to abide by the rules while others don't. Do you think so?" Chu Nan looked at Zhang Hong with a smile.
Ever since Chu Nan and Zhang Hong broke up, Zhang Hong had never smiled when facing Chu Nan. On the contrary, Chu Nan still had the same smile every time he saw Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong frowned and said, "Zi Yan has thought clearly!"
"I think very clearly!" Chu Nan met Zhang Hong's gaze and said.
"Humph!" Zhang Hong stared at Chu Nan for a long time. Chu Nan was fearless and confronted him. Finally, Zhang Hong snorted coldly, turned around and left with others.
"Clean up and seal the courtyard." Chu Nan looked at their leaving figures, chuckled lightly, had the Wang family's house sealed, and then took the people back to the government office.
After all this trouble, it was already bright, and all the government officials who had heard the news were already waiting in the government office. When they saw Chu Nan, they hurriedly saluted.
"Eucalyptus, I won't be able to break it for a while, but I think I can give you an explanation for what happened last night." Chu Nan took a sip of the water handed by his subordinates, looked at the county officials and said, "Everyone
What do you think?"
"We are willing to serve the county magistrate!" All the officials quickly bowed.
The Li family was wiped out by someone. We don't know who it is specifically, but we still know the general scope. Yesterday, everyone was worried that the other party would continue to act like this. Their small family is not like Chu Nan, who has expert guards when he comes in and out.
, I couldn’t stand the trouble, and if I wasn’t careful, I might become a victim like the Li family, so I backed down yesterday.
But the Wang family was wiped out overnight. Although there was no evidence, everyone knew who did it. Zhang Hong could see that everyone had been with Chu Nan day and night, and no one knew that there were two demonized insects around Chu Nan.
In this way, everyone feels at ease. After this incident, the other party may not dare to use this method again, and may even stop others from using this method, because Chu Nan did not know whose family it was yesterday, and it was the Wang family that was randomly selected.
In this way, even those who didn't do this would be guilty. Who knows if they will be unlucky enough to be chosen by Chu Nan?
Facts have proven that when an enemy plays rogue and bad rules with you, you'd better be more rogue and have no bottom line than the other party, so that the other party will be afraid of you. If you still stick to the gentleman's behavior, you can only wait to be bullied by the other party.
Already.
This is the reason why a gentleman can be deceived.
"The property of the Li family will be liquidated later and inherited by relatives of the Li family. Anyone who touches this money will be in trouble with me. When the time comes, don't blame me for being unkind!" Chu Nan looked at everyone, Li
Although the main line of the family was destroyed, there were still other branches. Naturally, Chu Nan could not directly take back the property of the Li family like he did with the Wang family.
"Don't worry, county magistrate, we will definitely live up to the county magistrate!" Everyone bowed down in unison.
The destruction of the Wang family is to give everyone a peace of mind. The handling of the Li family's inheritance is to give everyone a peace of mind. Even if something happens in the future, they don't have to worry about their family property being embezzled. As long as Chu Nan is around, they can feel at ease.
Do things without worries.
"Let's keep working. The other party seems to be in a hurry. We can't let go at this time! We should take advantage of the victory and pursue it!" Chu Nan stood up and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Here!"
Everyone agreed and started doing their own things. The fear of the Li family was dispelled by Chu Nan, and what was left was anger and hatred.
If you think our family's lives are in vain, then you can't blame me for being unkind.
If everyone in the government office had some other thoughts before, today, everyone really shares the same hatred and is about to bring down those high-ranking wealthy families.
The clearing of cultivated land has come to an end, and the next main thing is to collect the land. A famous official is running around to clear the land like a shot of chicken blood. In addition, Chu Nan has recruited more and more refugees in the past few days.
These lands are resettled for refugees.
The entire government office is operating efficiently according to Chu Nan's previous plan. The big Xiapi clan can't compete with Chu Nan head-on, and they want to restrict Chu Nan through resources. However, the previous monopoly pattern has been broken by Chu Nan. This move will not only allow them to
In terms of business, apart from the market being seized by the chamber of commerce, it is simply a loss for the company.
As for those who are playing dirty tricks, the annihilation of the Wang family has even made these wealthy families take action. In Zhang Hong's office, several wealthy families gathered together, and everyone was in a low mood.
They didn't expect Chu Nan to turn against him and take action. Didn't he say that he was a disciple of Confucianism? Why did he act so unscrupulously and unscrupulously? How could he have any Confucian magnanimity?
"What happened to the Li family was due to my poor planning, and I didn't expect Chu Nan to be so ruthless. Next..." Zhang Hong looked at the crowd. Chen Ying didn't come, just them. Zhang Hong sighed: "Everyone
What do you think?"
"Master Fu, Chu Nan is at his peak. We cannot confront him head-on at this time. I am planning to move the family business to Guangling." A clan leader sighed and said to Zhang Hong.
The other people also nodded. Although they have not all moved to Guangling, they are not planning to stay in Xiapi anymore. It was fine when Lu Bu took the decision in the past, and he could do whatever he wanted, but now something bad has happened and he has used unreasonable methods.
The vicious Chu Nan, this kind of opponent, is what they fear the most. Their methods are of no use to Chu Nan. Now he can't play dirty tricks, so what else can he do besides moving away?
I can't afford to offend you, so I'll hide from the head office.
Zhang Hong looked at everyone, feeling a little bitter. He had a hunch that he might not be able to serve as acting governor for long. Lu Bu no longer relied on him as much as before. The root of all this was because of Chu Nan.
.
"That's all, I'm ready to resign. Lu Bu is a foolish person. If he appoints a treacherous person like Chu Nan, he will be defeated sooner or later. Why should I continue to serve him? I'll leave!" Zhang Hong said with a bitter smile.
He is also a little afraid of Chu Nan. Only when their methods fall on him will he truly feel how terrifying his methods are.
"Why are you doing this, Mr. Fu? If you weren't here, wouldn't Chu Nan be even more rampant?" One person frowned.
Hearing this, Zhang Hong smiled bitterly in his heart. Even if he was here, Chu Nan was still rampant. He finally saw it. Under Chu Nan's gentle appearance, if he really takes action, he won't show mercy to you. It's not good for the public.
The master of this operation has a big backer, and he really can't play with it. If he continues here, he is afraid that Chu Nan will kill him one day, so it would be better to leave early.
"I have made up my mind, Lu Bu Wufu. If you don't listen to good advice, what difference does it make if I am here or not? It's better to go back early to avoid tarnishing your reputation."
"Fu Jun Gaoyi!"
"Master Fu, why not wait a little longer? Even if we can't take action against him, Master Fu, please don't forget that the matter of the Chamber of Commerce is still under our control. Why don't we take a look again?" One person stood up and looked at it.
Zhang Hong advised.
Hearing this, Zhang Hong was silent for a long time and then nodded: "Well, let's wait a little longer to see how Chu Nan ends up!"

I got up late, a little late. I asked for leave today and stayed at home. I hope I can keep my promise.
