Chapter 959.
With the interruption of the commercial routes and the stoppage of all businesses, with the arrival of the Blood Clothes Guards from the Capital Guard Yamen, the prosperous Guangping County was plunged into an internal and external closure overnight.
Two Fifth Order Martial Zongs personally took charge, mobilizing the powerful brigades stationed at Xijin Pass to surround the entire county, launching a comprehensive sweep on a grand scale.
One of them also brought a special magic weapon to identify demons.
Wang dust did not even think that the government office is so important to this case, the posture is simply to dig up the county town, dig out all the suspects before they will rest.
He later realized that it was because he had discovered the Demon Rising Pool underneath the Peony House that he had attracted the extreme attention of the Du Wei Yamen, and while reporting to the Imperial Capital, they had sent their elites to come.
The severity of the matter was beyond everyone’s imagination!
However, after completing the report of the case, Wang Dust was discharged from the investigation and detection, and even though he showed a keen insight into demons, he was not involved in the follow-up work.
Instead of caring, he felt relaxed.
It was only the large and small clans in Guangping City, including some of the local powerhouses and merchant houses that suffered.
No matter how powerful they usually were, under the joint pressure of the Blood Clothes Guards of the Capital Guard Yamen and the powerful brigade of the West Prison Pass, they couldn’t even make a small wave, and could only obediently lie down and allow themselves to be copied.
In fact, many families are not clean, and it is very normal to have prohibited items seized.
Encountered such a situation can only be self-admitted bad luck, the general situation of ruthless blood, give an explanation on the past.
But there are also a very small number of money for life, trying to argue or even resistance, and then immediately met with an iron fist suppression!
A few of them were harboring bandits and wanted criminals, or colluding with rebels and pagans.
That fate was even more tragic.
In short, this storm can not be not with the passage of time and calm down, but rather there is a trend of intensification.
It even spread to the areas close to Guangping.
Let countless people shiver.
As the initiator of this huge storm, Wang Chen lived in the mansion provided by Duan Yongfeng and stayed behind closed doors for days, concentrating on practicing martial arts.
Although his mission had been completed, because he was too deeply involved, he could not leave Guangping County for the time being without further orders from above.
Another three days passed by in a flash.
This morning Wang Chen was practicing the Demon Punishing Gun Technique in the small courtyard, when suddenly the door to the courtyard was knocked on, and a respectful voice came from outside: “May I ask if Lord Thousand Household is here? The Guangping Zhong Family has come to pay a visit.”
Guangping Zhong Family?
Wang Chen was slightly stunned.
He didn’t have any relationships here, and didn’t know any Guangping Zhong Family, and this temporary house was arranged by Duan Yongfeng, so he wondered how the other party found his door.
After thinking about it, Wang Chen put away his spear and went over to open the door of the room.
Only to see three people standing in front of the door, in the center is a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, quite imposing, left and right respectively for a pretty woman with a delicate appearance and a white-haired old man carrying a box.
Eh?
Wang Chen did not recognize the middle-aged man in front of him and the white-haired old man next to him.
But he had an impression of this pretty woman, and it was exactly the Zhong Yingyao who had gambled against him in the Yum Yum Gambling House that day!
Only the Zhong Yingyao he saw that day was beautiful and valiant, with an uninhibited wildness, while the current Zhong Yingyao was like a frightened bunny, with red eyes and a pathetic look.
This made Wang Chen wonder if the other party was the same person!
The contrast was too great.
Wang Chen could not help but take one more glance.
As a result, this action was seen by the middle-aged man, and his eyes immediately lit up as he hurriedly saluted, “Sir Wang, I, Zhong Zhenshan, head of the Guangping Zhong Family, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting today.”
With that, he bowed deeply to Wang Chen, his attitude appearing very humble.
Zhong Yingyao and the white-haired old man also followed suit.
“No need to be polite.”
Wang Chen said indifferently, “Come in and talk.”
Although Wang Chen was not clear about the other party’s intentions, it was obvious that the one who came was clearly not an evil guest.
Bringing the people to the living room, Wang Chen gestured for them to take their seats, then said bluntly, “Zhong Family Master, what is it that you are looking for me for?”
There were no maidservants in his house, and he had saved himself the trouble of making tea for the guests.
Zhong Zhenshan, who had just sat down, hesitated for a moment, then nodded at the white-haired old man standing at the side.
The latter immediately placed the box he was carrying on the table.
Zhong Zhenshan swallowed his saliva and said cautiously, “Lord Wang, my daughter was ignorant and offended Your Excellency at the Peony House a few days ago, it’s all because of my usual lax tutelage, I really deserve to die for my sins!”
He opened the lid of the box, only to see that it was filled with gold, silver and jewels, the colors were dazzling.
“This is the villain’s reparation gift, I hope to please be generous and magnanimous!”
Wang Chen didn’t say anything, just reached out and grabbed a handful of jewels and put them down again, his heart was quite odd.
Zhong Yingyao’s matter he had long forgotten all about, he didn’t even put it on his mind at that time, so how could he remember it in his heart?
Unexpectedly, this Zhong Family’s family head had specially brought his own daughter to the door to make amends.
There must be a reason for this!
When he thought of the blood-clothed guards of the Capital Guard Yamen searching the whole city in the past few days, Wang Chen’s heart more or less came to an understanding.
Seeing his silence, Zhong Zhenshan gritted his teeth and added: “I heard that your lordship is living in seclusion here, and there is no one close to him, so why don’t you let your daughter serve your lordship and do some cleaning and cleansing bed-making and quilt-folding chores.”
Next to Zhong Yingyao a pretty face reddened, but it is even more gorgeous face.
There is a say one, although she is not a stunning beauty, but the posture and figure are noteworthy, also do not know Zhong Zhenshan usually how to teach, raised such a different from the ordinary daughter of a thousand gold boudoir to!
At this point, Zhong Zhenshan’s meaning was clear.
He clearly wanted to befriend Wang Chen by giving away his daughter, and in all probability, the Zhong family was in trouble and had no choice but to use such a tactic to get out of the situation.
And Zhong Zhenshan must have gone through Duan Yongfeng’s relationship.
Wang Dust’s mind turned, roughly clarified the matter, and opened his mouth to say, “I accept this indemnity, your daughter take it back, I don’t need someone to serve around me.”
He didn’t mean to make things difficult for the Zhong family, and accepting the gift was just to make the other party feel relieved, lest something else arise.
As for Zhong Yingyao, he would respectfully decline.
Zhong Zhenshan obviously didn’t expect Wang Duan to accept the money and not ask for his own daughter who was a thousand times more beautiful.
He froze, but didn’t dare to have any objections, and immediately smiled and said, “Yes.”
Wang Dust smiled and said, “I’ll talk to General Banner Duan about it.”
Wang Dust wouldn’t guarantee anything, but as long as the Zhong Family wasn’t implicated in treasonous matters, it wasn’t impossible to put in a word for them.
The current Wang Dust also had such a face!
Zhong Zhenshan was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly got up to pay his respects, “Many thanks, Your Excellency!”
And next to him, Zhong Yingyao cast a complicated gaze at Wang Chen, her eyes unexpectedly carrying a hint of resentment.
