Chapter 126 Evil Nature

Seeing Kong Ning, Zhang Rong was very happy.

That kind of joy is clearly a feeling of encountering an old acquaintance in a foreign land, feeling full of depression and eager to vent.

It's just that this Hejian Mansion is obviously Zhang Rong's hometown, shouldn't he be happy when he returns to his hometown?

It seems that this former boss is not having a good time after returning to Hejian Mansion?

Kong Ning thought in his heart.

And Zhang Rong had already greeted several other policemen and asked them to leave first, so he dragged Kong Ning away.

As for the two corpses on the ground, almost no one paid attention to them except for a policeman who stayed behind to guard them.

Zhang Rong asked curiously as he walked.

"Why did you come to Hejian Mansion? Did Lord Liu send you on business?"

"Also, who is the doll on your back? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Zhang Rong asked curiously.

Kong Ning smiled and said: "This is my apprentice, Xu Caiwei...Caiwei, send Uncle Zhang hello."

The little girl called out timidly, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Rong suddenly smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, okay... this little girl is quite cute. But your apprentice? When did you accept an apprentice? You also accepted a girl doll, don't you think you are trying to get me?" Can the family martial arts be passed on to her?"

"Also, where is your wife? Su Yan is such a beautiful new wife, you won't let her stay alone in the vacant room, will you? Traveling so far alone, you still have to live in Hejian Mansion for a long time? Leave your new wife at home? You It's also a big heart..."

"Why don't you take her with you?"

"But it's fine if you don't bring it. The outside is not a good place. It can't compare with the safety of Shanlan County..."

Zhang Rongxu chattered, and led Kong Ning into a teahouse by the roadside.

In the lobby on the first floor, there were scattered tea drinkers. But just like on the street outside, these tea drinkers are equally silent, at most whispering among each other, while most people are drinking tea in silence and saying nothing.

The entire lobby of the tea shop exuded an evil sense of oppression.

Several tea doctors standing against the corner also looked weak, and instead of shuttling between the tables and chairs, they glanced around coldly, wondering what they were thinking.

There was only one storyteller sitting on the stage, loudly telling the story of a martial artist who went up the mountain to fight against evil.

But the voice fell in the dead hall of the tea shop, but it was inexplicably empty and strange.

It seems that there is only this storyteller left in the whole teahouse.

Zhang Rong walked into the tea shop with Kong Ning, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Zhang came so early today..."

But even if the shopkeeper warmly welcomed the guests, his voice was lowered a few degrees, and he didn't dare to make any noise at all.

Such a weird situation made Kong Ning frowned slightly.

Residents of this Hejian Mansion have a sinister aura everywhere.

On the official road outside the city, all the people coming and going were silent and dared not talk.

People on the streets in the city, even when watching the excitement, no one pointed or talked about it. They all shut their mouths and watched everything with cold eyes.

Now even teahouses, places that should be noisy according to reason, are so strangely quiet... These people come to teahouses to drink tea, and they don't shout loudly or talk loudly.

But Zhang Rong is used to it.

His voice was also not loud, and he said to the shopkeeper, "Arrange a private room for me."

So under the personal guidance of the shopkeeper, Kong Ning and Zhang Rong went up to the second floor and entered a private room facing the street.

Above the second floor, it is quieter. The entire second floor is filled with individually closed private rooms. After entering the private room, Kong Ning and Zhang Rong ordered a pot of tea, two plates of pastries, and a plate of cold dishes. Sent the shopkeeper out.

After Kong Ning watched the shopkeeper leave, he asked.

"Zhang Tou, why is there an evil character everywhere in this Hejian Mansion..."

Kong Ning asked straight to the point.

Zhang Rong sighed after hearing this, and said: "The evil nature is right... Now this world is really chaotic to the extreme."

"A few years ago, I lived in Shanlan County for a long time, and occasionally came back and didn't stay too long. I only reunited with my family. Although I noticed something weird, I didn't take it too seriously."

"But after coming back and staying for a long time, I realized that the world outside has changed into the ghost it is now."

"Sixteen years ago, when I followed Lord Liu to Shanlan to take office, Hejian Mansion was still bustling and lively, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There were not many murders throughout the year."

"But today's Hejian Mansion seems to be haunted, killing people everywhere, and there are murders every three days."

"The people in the city are all like gunpowder kegs, and they will explode at a single touch. The trivial things can cause people to kill people with knives, blood is often splashed on the streets, or whole families are wiped out."

"People who are brought back to the Yamen to be sentenced to death every month can fill up the prison cells in Shanlan County."

"There are also those high-ranking martial arts people who ran rampant everywhere, killing villagers and humiliating women, causing harm to one side. The notice board issued by the yamen is almost too big to post."

"But it's useless. Those people in the martial arts are still making trouble everywhere, and they have no restraint."

"In order to suppress those thieves, the yamen issued a reward again, attracting a group of people who are greedy for money and profit to hunt down and kill the criminals who offered the reward."

"Those guys carry big knives and long guns every day, gather together, ostentatiously walk through the city, gather crowds to fight, and from time to time they will cause you a few murders."

"It's so fucking disgusting!"

As soon as Zhang Rong opened his mouth, he couldn't help pouring out bitterness and complaining about the hard work of the yamen and the sinister and chaotic world.

The more Kong Ning listened, the more he frowned.

Because judging from what Zhang Rong said, the outside world is like a purgatory on earth.

Everyone lives in fear, and accidents and disasters may happen at any time.

Maybe it's just because you looked at your neighbor twice more, and the other party held a grudge and walked into your house in the middle of the night to kill you all over the house.

Or walking on the road and being disliked by a passing martial arts person, he was hacked to death with a knife...

"This world is so dangerous, will the government ignore it?" Kong Ning asked with a frown.

The chaos in Hejian Mansion was more serious than he had imagined.

Originally, he was worried that the demons and ghosts in the city would wantonly kill people and eat blood for cultivation, turning the world into a purgatory on earth.

But now the demons and goblins haven't blatantly killed people everywhere, and the mortals are messing up first.

It's really...

Kong Ning frowned.

But Zhang Rong sighed, and said, "The government also wants to take care of it...how can we do it?"

"Today's world is so chaotic. From those martial arts masters to ordinary people in the market, everyone is full of hostility and kills with a knife at every turn."

"Everyone is living a life of being drunk today, without thinking about anything else."

"The yamen basically does not impose punishments other than the death penalty. Most criminals are arrested and directly sentenced to death."

"It's already a heavy code, but it can't stop people from wanting to die."
