The years when I explored the fairyland
Chapter 63 62: Behind the scenes, out of control
Until this moment, Chu Zhou finally understood the root cause of Wei Jinkui's so-called "trouble". To be precise, it was somewhat like the international situation in Chu Zhou's previous life.
The two powers compete for hegemony, which is an all-round struggle. Almost all aspects are playing games, openly and secretly.
In this case, you can't think that you are a third party and this kind of struggle has nothing to do with you.
In fact, before the real face-to-face is torn, the struggle starts from these third parties. Often, the upper bosses haven't started fighting yet, and the lower ones may not be able to hold on.
The fire in the city gate will affect the fish in the pond. This is the reality of the world!
Moreover, to put it bluntly, the two bosses started fighting, and you brothers didn't take action. Are you trying to preserve your strength?
Are you preparing to turn the world after the war? Or do you want to replace them?
If you have this idea, then you will be unlucky, and you will probably not see the sun the next day.
In short, when the war starts, no one can have a good life!
The struggle between several sects in a county naturally cannot reach this point, but the principle is the same.
Wei Jinkui's panic obviously foresaw the future, or perhaps, he had seen this situation many times in the past.
After thinking for a long time, Chu Zhou finally sighed and said: "This is the general trend, which is beyond your control. Let's just leave it like this for now, wait and see, and then try not to get involved.
If there is really no other way, then we'll talk about it later..."
After consoling Wei Jinkui in this way, Chu Zhou said: "Uncle, will Aunt be unsafe in the city?
Those ghostwriters and Yunya swordsmen fought, but they didn't care about anything. Otherwise, take them out and let them live in my Xuanzhen Temple for a while, okay?"
Wei Jinkui said: "Will it disturb you?"
"What's the disturbance? , as long as you don't mind the simplicity of my Xuanzhen Temple. "
Speaking of this, Chu Zhou had already stood up and said: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later, no need to wait, let's go now.
Uncle, think about it again, do you have any disciples or relatives under the sect, and bring them out, we will go together.
I will go and call Xu Cheng and Fang Jie and the others, which will also be considered as a fighting force. "
"Okay!"
Wei Jinkui gritted his teeth and said: "I will listen to my nephew."
"Then hurry up."
As soon as he said it, Chu Zhou immediately went to the backyard and called Xu Cheng and the other four, as well as some servants.
Wei Fangjie was still rubbing his eyes, obviously just fell asleep, but after listening to his father's explanation, he also became anxious.
It is worth mentioning that before leaving, Chu Zhou also took the time to return to the room and flipped through the "Wind, Frost, Cloud and Snow Sword" secret book in his hand, and confirmed that this was a handwritten copy, which should be specially left by Luo Gan for the second daughter of the Zhao family.
Half a cup of tea later, six horses carrying people, groping in the night, holding torches, galloped along the official road to Baisha City.
…
Baisha City,
Government Office, deep in the prison.
If you want to rank the cold places in Baisha City, the top spot must be the deep prison. It doesn't take any special method to be cold to the bone, which is better than the ice cellars of various families.
Of course, this is also the place where corpses are stored. The extremely low temperature can inhibit the decay of corpses to the greatest extent.
At this time, when the county lord stepped into the depths of the prison again, his face was uglier than last time, even livid.
Last time, more than 30 people died, plus a county magistrate, and his anger was only three-tenths, and the rest was all disguise.
But this time, he was really angry, and even his steps were a little shocked and angry, and a little restless.
However, when he really entered the morgue and saw the handsome young man lying on the ground, his body without any blood, he stood there for a long time, and seemed to have been drained of all his energy. He stood there dejectedly, and his back was unconsciously bent.
He was not the only one in the morgue. Captain Wang walked up to him, bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Mr. County Master, there are outsiders here, let them go out first..."
These words awakened the county master. He straightened up again, glanced at the eyes, and the majesty of an official appeared: "You, all go out."
"Yes!"
A group of constables, yamen runners and coroners filed out, as fast as they could.
When the footsteps of the group of people were completely far away, the county master turned his head slightly, looked at Captain Wang again, and said: "Tell me, what is the situation?"
Since he participated in the Xue family's affairs last time, Captain Wang was also considered a member of the county master, and he was much more casual at this time.
He didn't waste any words and immediately walked to the body, pulling down the white cloth covering it, revealing the naked upper body. Various sword marks could be seen, all of which had hit the vital parts.
"The identity has been basically confirmed. He is Zhou Chongwen, the only son of Zhou Wu. The servants, guards, travel permits, and portraits of the government office that he brought with him have all been verified."
"This person probably came with his guards because he heard that there was fun in Baisha City. He seemed to want to catch Luo Gan, show off in front of his father, and ridicule the Yunya Sword Sect."
"But it is obvious that he did not find anyone after wandering around Baisha City for many days. It was not until that night that he heard the shouts that he hurried out.
He even urged the master guards he brought with him to capture Luo Gan, but he didn't expect that he would be left alone.
Then, he was killed, with 18 swords in his body, and each sword was in a vital position. Judging from these sword marks, there is a shadow of the Yunya Sword Sect.
However, the people of the Yunya Sword Sect did not admit it. Elder Qiu has always said that someone framed him."
The county official asked: "What exactly is the situation? Has it been investigated?"
"It's difficult! It's difficult! No one will admit it in this situation."
Wang Captou shook his head and said: "Actually, there are only three situations. One is killed by the Yunya Sword Sect, and the other is killed by the swordsman. Both of them are okay.
I believe that even if they did take action, they probably didn't do it intentionally. They probably had a conflict and killed someone in anger.
However, if someone deliberately took action and specifically chose this opportunity to use this kind of swordsmanship, there would be too many things behind it. "
A look of horror flashed across the face of the county magistrate, and he said: "You said that someone deliberately set up a trap to mess up the world of Tianquan County?"
Wang Captou lowered his voice and said: "I heard a saying that it is easier to fish in muddy water!"
"Then do you know who it is?"
"I don't know, the time is too short. Even if I make some guesses, I don't have time to investigate. If you give me a few days, I should be able to find some clues.
But now, now..."
After a pause, Wang Captou continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we investigate or not. If someone is really plotting behind the scenes, I don't think they can escape the Red Lotus Society, the Xuanyue Sect, the Immortal Killing Palace, the Alien Alliance, etc. Wait, fanning the flames behind the scenes..."
"This group of people, this group of people, this group of people are really just afraid that the world will not be in chaos?"
The county magistrate began to pace irritably, and after circling the corpse for many times, he couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Those dog slaves don't know how to take good care of their master, and how can they cause such a disaster?" ah?"
Seemingly remembering something, he asked again: "By the way, where are the retinue masters of the Zhou family? Their master is dead and all of them have escaped?"
"That's not true, but they're crazy!"
"Crazy?"
"Yes, they are all crazy! The leader is also a master of the Marrow Realm. He has gone to settle the score with Qiu Changfeng of the Yunya Sword Sect with his still-living retinue.
I think what he meant was that he was determined to die! "
There was also fear in Wang Baotou's eyes: "Wenxiangguan Zhou Wu's imperial guards are very strict, quite military style, with clear rewards and punishments, and also decisive killings.
If they killed their young master and ruined their job, they would either really capture Elder Qiu and his group of Yunya Sword Sect members, or they would die completely.
Otherwise, if they return to Wenxiang Temple like this, they will not be able to escape the result of being killed by the stick, and it will even harm their family members, and their relatives will not be able to escape! "
"They, they, wait..."
The county magistrate seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He turned around and looked at Wang Captou with wide eyes, saying: "You mean, there will be two marrow masters, each leading a group of people, who will fight to the death in our Baisha City." ?”
Wang Captou smiled bitterly: "We've already started fighting, that's all, not counting the group of knife-catchers whose actions are unpredictable!"
"How many people will die? How many people will die? Those Jianghu people will die if they die, but what should I, the people of Baisha City, do?
No, it can't be like this, it absolutely can't be like this, at least not now. "
The county magistrate finally recovered some of his responsibilities and immediately ordered: "Wang Captou, go and ask the county captain to come, quickly!
By the way, let him gather all the eight hundred soldiers, hurry up! "
"good."
Wang Captou responded, and said helplessly: "Your Excellency, these soldiers are actually no better than little chickens when faced with those masters and knife-catchers."
"I know, of course I know, but I can ask them to evacuate the residents, and one less person will die, so one less person will die.
By the way, there are also police officers. All the police officers are summoned. We must all go out. "
After a pause, he added: "Tell everyone that this time, I will be with them and stand at the front."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Wang Captou left, and no one was there. The county magistrate felt a little exhausted. He leaned on the wall and squatted down slowly, breathing the cold air feebly.
He may be greedy, greedy for power, greedy for money, and even greedy for fame, but he feels that after reading so many books and learning so many principles, there is always something he must do.
What's more, what's more, the most important point is that if Baisha City is in chaos and he does nothing, then his career will be completely over.
After a while, the county police officers were mobilized, and it seemed noisy and chaotic.
But when the county magistrate came out, his azure bird official robe was so obvious, and when he was the first to pick up the torch and walk onto the street, other detectives followed him one after another.
…
dark night,
Outside the city, there is an official road.
Six people and six horses were naturally very fast, but the closer they got to Baisha City, the more pedestrians there were on the official road.
There were horse-drawn carriages clearing the way, some pushing wheelbarrows, and some bringing their families with them, all of them holding open fires and moving forward.
They all looked a little dull, and they probably didn't even know where they were going. They just felt that the city was no longer safe, so they wanted to run out.
And this situation becomes more obvious the closer you get to the city gate.
Simply speaking, the soldiers maintaining order were still there, and there was no complete chaos. But after they entered the city, the senses were different.
Even from a distance, you can see three or four fire sources burning and thick smoke billowing.
There were faint shouts of killing again, and I didn't know whether it was the swordsman and the Yunya swordsman actually fighting, or whether there were ruffians and gang members taking advantage of the chaos to rob and kill.
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Zhou deeply felt how out of control this chaos was!
It's the end of the month, can I give you a ticket?
