Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1466: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (Ten)

Qing'an County is located in the southwest of Nanli State. The population of the county is only tens of thousands, but it is far away from war and natural disasters. The lives of the people in recent years have been quite peaceful.

However, the tragedy that occurred in Wangchun Tower instantly broke the tranquility of the county and triggered a storm.

When Sun Huaian, the head of Qing'an County, rushed to the scene of the crime with several constables, the scene in the private room made this experienced old man dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he was knowledgeable and did not lose his composure even though his mind was strongly shocked.

On the one hand, the head of the constable sent people to the government office to report the news, and on the other hand, Wangchun Tower was blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

But the news could not be blocked, because before Sun Huaian rushed over, many people had already seen the crime scene.

Cao Jinan's identity could not be hidden at all.

So the news spread quickly throughout the city like wings. When Cao Xiong, the leader of Cangshui Gang, rushed to Wangchun Tower with his men, Yu Heqian, the county magistrate of Qing'an County, and Ye Xiangming, the county magistrate of Qing'an County, were already there.

Although he was extremely angry and sad, Cao Xiong, who had always been unruly, did not dare to act rashly in front of the two giants of Qing'an County. He bowed with tears in his eyes and said, "My son has suffered this misfortune. Please give justice to the two adults."

The leader of Cangshui Gang had seen Cao Jinan lying on the ground with his eyes wide open and his face twisted, which made Cao Xiong clench his fists.

Cao Jinan was not Cao Xiong's only son, but he was the most favored by him and had high hopes for him.

He died here.

Yu Heqian, the magistrate of Qing'an County, looked gloomy, nodded and replied: "Master Cao, please accept my condolences. I have ordered the county constables to track down clues and make sure to catch the murderer in the shortest possible time to give your son justice!"

Yu Heqian has been the magistrate of Qing'an County for seven years. He can always sit firmly in the position of county magistrate, which is inseparable from Cao Xiong's support, so this promise is not empty talk.

Cao Xiong shed tears: "Thank you, sir."

At this time, the coroner who was investigating the scene had completed the preliminary inspection and reported: "Sir, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses and my inspection, the thirteen victims here have no external injuries on their bodies and were killed directly."

"Although they all bleed from their seven orifices and foam at the mouth, no poison can be detected. It is suspected that they were harmed by extremely advanced martial arts skills, or..."

He hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but stopped.

Yu Heqian frowned and shouted, "Speak!"

The coroner was startled: "Or it could be a trick of the immortals."

He said the last four words carefully and unconsciously lowered his voice.

Tricks of the immortals!

The county magistrate Yu Heqian, the county magistrate Ye Xiangming, and Cao Xiong all changed their faces.

The Shanhai Realm is divided into the immortal world and the mortal world. For the billions of mortals in the mortal world, the existence of immortals is not a secret at all, and there are countless people who seek immortality.

As the upper and middle class of mortals, they have a better understanding of the immortal world and cultivators.

So they know very well what it means for an immortal cultivator to appear in the mortal world.

But Qing'an County is a "remote and poor place", how could a cultivator come here to kill people?

Yu Heqian and Ye Xiangming looked at each other, the former thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You continue to check, and you must determine the cause of death, and you must not make any mistakes."

The county magistrate regretted what he had just said to Cao Xiong.

If the culprit is really a cultivator, then don't expect to get justice. He, a county magistrate, is nothing in front of a cultivator, and he is also a character who can be crushed to death at any time.

??????55.??????

"Yes."

The coroner also knew that the matter was serious, and said with his head down: "Then the body must be sent back to the government office, and it cannot be buried for the time being."

Yu Heqian understood what the coroner meant, and looked at Cao Xiong.

After all, the dead was the other party's own son.

Cao Xiong's face was ashen: "It's up to you, sir!"

His anger had been reduced by half at this moment, and reason completely overwhelmed his emotions.

The murderer had such a strange killing method, whether it was a martial arts master or a cultivator, it was not something that Cao Xiong, a mere gang leader in a county, could deal with.

What if he angered the other party during the investigation, and then targeted Cao Xiong himself.

Can he bear it?

Cao Xiong was not sure at all, and even had a little fear.

But the problem is that if he gives up the investigation and refuses to speak out, where will the face of the leader of the Cangshui Gang be?

Cao Xiong's heart is extremely conflicted, and even a little bit of his thoughts are revealed on his face.

Yu Heqian observed his words and knew the concerns of the big gang leader, and couldn't help but sighed and said, "Let's do this for now."

Cao Xiong didn't dare to provoke him, but he, a small county magistrate, dared to do so?

Forget it!

Regardless of how the parties were entangled in their hearts, after the news that Cao Jinan, the son of the leader of the Cangshui Gang, and more than a dozen gang members were killed in Wangyue Tower spread, many local people in Qing'an County secretly applauded.

Because Cao Jinan existed like a street-cleaning tiger in the county town, relying on the power of the Cangshui Gang and the relationship with the government office, he had always been rampant and often oppressed the civilians, making people dare not speak out.

Now Cao Jinan died in Wangyue Tower, and everyone said it was retribution.

I don't know which hero saw injustice and took action to eliminate one of the three evils in Qing'an County. It was simply justice from heaven.

Some people even secretly worshipped the tablet of this unknown hero!

The aftermath of Cao Jinan's murder lasted for a month or two in Qing'an County.

Then it was gradually forgotten.

During this period, the gang members of Cangshui Gang kept their tails between their legs, and the gang's garrison was heavily guarded, which improved the public security in the county.

As for the real murderer, he has never been found, although the government issued a reward notice to solicit clues.

But this hero seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and never made a move again.

Cao Xiong, who suffered a great loss after the death of his son, lived in seclusion and no longer mentioned anything about Cao Jinan, as if he had acquiesced.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year again, and Qing'an County, which had been silent for a while, became lively again.

People from all over the country came to the county to buy New Year's goods. Many peddlers came by land and water, and the streets and alleys of the city were full of shouting with local accents.

And just before the New Year, Wang Chen, who had been exchanging letters with Ye Dai for several months, formally asked a matchmaker to come to his house and ask to marry the young lady of the Ye family.

The two have similar backgrounds. Wang Chen has no relatives, and although Ye Dai has a biological father, the county magistrate Ye Xiangming is sensitive and cannot come forward directly, so the process of accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, accepting the marriage proposal, and accepting the marriage proposal is greatly simplified.

The engagement and betrothal are very low-key, and then they wait for the wedding day to come.

For Wang Chen, this is undoubtedly a fresh but necessary life experience.

He is going to be a groom!
