Chapter 9 Tragedy
After burying Luo Cheng's family, Chen Laosan took the opportunity to visit the provincial capital checkpoint and found that someone had blocked it. Unwilling to be reconciled, Chen Laosan changed direction again and found that not only the checkpoint to the provincial capital, but also all the surrounding checkpoints were guarded.
Qingya County is under control!
This discovery made Chen Laosan completely uneasy. Although he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, this situation was definitely not a good sign for ordinary people like them.
Thinking back to the royal corpses he buried a few days ago, he couldn't sit still at all.
‘We can’t sit still and wait for death. ’
Thinking of this, Chen Laosan immediately went to Wang Laoshuan's house. Since this old guy could send his granddaughter away, he must have his own way.
It was already dusk when we returned to the inner city.
Chen Laosan was very tired after a day of finding his way, but at this time he could no longer care about it. According to memory, he soon arrived at Wang Laoshuan's house.
A relatively modest house.
It's better than Chen Laosan's kennel. After all, Wang Laoshuan still has a granddaughter to take care of. If he suffers, he can't suffer the child.
Chen Laosan took a deep breath, looked around, then quickly walked over and patted the door knocker twice.
clang clang.
The voice sounded, but there was no response from inside.
Did he fall asleep?
Chen Laosan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but when he thought about meeting Luo Cheng's house during the day, this uneasiness was suppressed. Wang Laoshuan was more cautious than him and must have had a backup plan. Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and shouted into the room.
"Wang Laoshuan, open the door. It's me, Chen Dahe."
Chen Dahe is Chen Laosan's name. He rarely uses this name on weekdays, and not many people in the county government know about it. Because Wang Laoshuan and he were colleagues, they used to use each other's first names.
It's a pity that no matter how hard Chen Laosan knocked on the door, there was no movement inside the house.
There were no footsteps, and no one came to open the door.
Chen Laosan stopped and put his eyes against the crack of the door to look inside. As soon as he got close, he smelled a pungent smell.
Blood?
Chen Laosan's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, everything in the inner courtyard was normal, and no shocking scenes were seen. But Chen Laosan didn't dare to stay any longer. Something must have happened to Wang Laoshuan, otherwise the bloody smell would not flow out of the yard.
After guessing this, Chen Laosan quickly stood up and ran towards the main street without looking back.
There are many people in that place, and the other party should not dare to kill people openly.
Behind the door that Chen Laosan couldn't see, a corpse was half-suspended, with drops of blood sliding down the corners of the corpse's mouth. This corpse was none other than Wang Laoshuan, who had been talking to Chen Laosan during the day. Not only him, but also his granddaughter who had been sent out by his connections during the day, as well as several unrelated corpses. These people were all gangsters who helped Wang Laoshuan's granddaughter escape, and the man behind them made up his mind to eradicate the problem.
I just don't know why he delayed it until now.
The panicked Chen Laosan ran all the way home.
His nephew Chen Luo did not come back, which made him relieved. It didn't matter if he was on Ma Laizi's side. After all, Ma Laizi was also a warrior and could help block two swords if something went wrong.
Although I feel sorry for my friend, but with the life of my nephew, Ma Laizi, my friend, cannot be sacrificed. At most, I can burn some more paper for him during New Years and holidays.
"Silver, yes! Silver!!"
In a panic, Chen Laosan ran to his bedroom and lifted up the bed board. Prying open the third wooden board hidden inside, a large handful of banknotes was revealed. All this money was in the coffin book that Chen Laosan kept at the bottom of the box, intending to keep it for his nephew Chen Luo to find a wife for.
At this critical moment of life and death, there is nothing more to worry about.
Chen Laosan grabbed the banknote inside and turned around to go to the Yamen.
He has already made up his mind to take his nephew Chen Luo to stay at the county government office tonight. He didn't believe that those people were so brave and dared to kill people inside the yamen.
Boom, boom, boom!
The moment Chen Laosan put the money into his arms, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Old Chen! Old Chen! Come to life."
The sound made Chen Laosan excited, and he subconsciously grabbed the dagger on the bedside. It was only after confirming the source of the sound that I breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew the guy shouting, the head catcher Jiang Danian. The two often drank wine together and were considered 'confidants' who shared the same hobbies.
"What's up?"
Chen Laosan did not let down his guard, but shouted at the top of his lungs.
Now that night is almost falling, Jiang Danian suddenly comes to the door. Something is wrong no matter how you look at it.
"There's another case over there. I've asked you to clean it up." Jiang Danian was cursing outside, presumably because he was dissatisfied with the task assigned during this time period.
Someone died again?
Chen Laosan's heart skipped a beat.
Subconsciously, he remembered the previous encounter outside Wang Laoshuan's house.
Probably not!
"Why don't you let Wang Laoshuan go? I just finished cooking this morning, and I'm ready to go to bed now."
Chen Laosan thought about a way to find out about Wang Laoshuan.
So he refused, saying that he wanted to rest. Let the people from the yamen find Wang Laoshuan, so that he can confirm Wang Laoshuan's situation without putting himself in danger. Simply the best of both worlds!
"The ones who died are Wang Laoshuan and his family. Do you want me to go to the underworld to find him?"
Jiang Danian was cursing outside and had already entered the house by the sound.
"What?!"
Chen Laosan pushed the door open, his face full of shock.
His inner uneasiness was confirmed at once.
In just one day, Luo Cheng and Wang Laoshuan both died. Is it his turn next? This speculation made Chen Laosan feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, and he didn't listen to anything Jiang Danian said later.
"It's good that you didn't sleep. Hurry up and clean up with me. Xiao Taohong won't be able to get a number later."
Jiang Danian didn't pay attention to these. Seeing that Chen Laosan was dressed neatly, he pulled him to deal with the aftermath.
This world is not peaceful. If the corpses are not handled, it is easy to cause problems.
The corpse collector is to deal with such troubles.
The corpses of Wang Laoshuan's family are all in the county town, which affects the county master's peace and security. Naturally, he gave an order overnight.
In this way, Chen Laosan and Jiang Danian came to
Pushing the door open, Chen Laosan paused.
The pungent smell of blood hit him in the face. The smell he smelled at the door before was real.
There were five corpses lying in the yard, two of which Chen Laosan knew. It was Wang Laoshuan and his grandson. Wang Laoshuan tried his best, but he failed to let his granddaughter escape. The remaining three people were all strangers. According to Jiang Danian, they seemed to be the smugglers of Qingya County, who specialized in smuggling people to the provincial capital.
Jiang Danian was talking nonsense beside him.
Chen Laosan didn't listen to a word. His mind was full of the miserable conditions of Luo Cheng and Wang Laoshuan.
And their parents and family members.
"This is to silence them!!!"
Chen Laosan's eyes were full of bloodshot. He didn't know the real purpose of the dead eunuch until now.
Cut the grass and root it out.
He was not going to let go of any possible points that might leak the news. Even if there was only a slight possibility, he had to cut it off.
It's better to kill by mistake than to let go!
In the eyes of these people, they, the bottom ants, are not worth their lives at all.
The only thing that is puzzling is why the castrated dog let them come back. Is there something missing? Or does the other party want to kill more people?
