668: The county government was afraid and apologized

The next day.

As the Sun rose, the area around the Wanhua Brothel, which had become a charcoal frame, was already surrounded by people watching the excitement.

Many of them were taking pictures of the Wanhua Brothel, using the bright Sun.

These were telephone users who had already figured out the usage of the three updated software functions.

After taking pictures, most of them moved to Ye Ning's Weibo, where discussions were intense.

After one night, the popularity of the Wanhua Brothel had dropped to top3.

The top two hot events were: top1: Wang Family exterminated, not a single survivor!

top2: Two bodies found on Baishui Street, one of which is the corpse of Qian Hu, the number one expert in Five Directions City! The other is suspected to be the body of Wang Jun of the Wang Family!

If the Wanhua Brothel incident yesterday made everyone fully focus on the usage of Ye Ning's Weibo.

Then these two hot lists today were direct consecutive "King Bombs"!

The Wang Family, as one of the four great families in Five Directions City, had previously helped the County Office expose the Qiong family for selling fake telephones, and yet they were exterminated just like that?!

And Qian Hu, this person was also a spiritual symbol for countless martial artists in Five Directions City, and a role model in everyone's hearts, but he died inexplicably!

These two incidents, if discussed in teahouses and restaurants, would cause a heated discussion.

And when the incidents were discussed on Ye Ning's Weibo, the discussions were even more explosive!

After all, the people expressing their opinions were not five, six, seven, or eight people, but tens of thousands!

County Office.

County Magistrate Bao Xingchao woke up naturally.

Stretching, Bao Xingchao called out to a servant outside the door: "Did Qian Hu come to report back to this Lord last night?"

After his words were spoken, the servant listened with a look of panic and said: "Lord, Lord Qian Hu... is dead!"

"What?!" Bao Xingchao was stunned, unable to comprehend: "Qian Hu is dead?!"

"Yes, Lord, his head was cut off, he died terribly, the constables have brought the body back!" The servant had clearly seen Ye Ning's Weibo and was very clear about this matter.

"Take me there!" Bao Xingchao was no longer sleepy at all, only feeling a sense of urgency and unreality in his heart.

After just a short while, led by the servant, he saw Qian Hu's pale body, drained of blood, placed on a wooden board!

"Dead, really dead!" Bao Xingchao staggered and almost fell.

Qian Hu was the number one expert in Five Directions City.

How could such a strong person die so inexplicably? He was just going to carry out a mission to the Ning family...

"Ning family!" Thinking of this, Bao Xingchao almost instantly determined that the killer was the Ning family!

Next to Qian Hu, even without a head, he could tell it was Wang Jun!

These two experts, only he and the Wang Family Head knew, were sent by them to the Ning family to carry out a mission!

"Where is the Wang Family Head?! Call him here, I need to discuss matters with him!" Bao Xingchao managed to steady his emotions and shouted loudly to the constable beside him.

"Lord, the Wang Family... was exterminated, not a single survivor!" the constable reported.

"What?! The Ning family actually exterminated the Wang Family too?!!" After hearing the report, Bao Xingchao instantly thought of the Ning family, and his voice became sharp due to the shock.

He didn't expect that the Ning family actually had such strength, not only killing Wang Jun and Qian Hu in one night, but even exterminating the Wang Family!

If he weren't an official, wouldn't he have suffered last night too?!

Thinking of this, Bao Xingchao shivered all over.

The head constable beside him, hearing Bao Xingchao directly shouting that the Ning family exterminated the Wang Family without any evidence, explained with a slightly stiff expression: "Lord, those bodies of the Wang Family, every single one of them committed suicide. They should have encountered something extremely terrifying before they died. This case... is very similar to the Lan family Family extermination tragedy three years ago, it should not be the Ning family."

"And it's similar to the Lan family Family extermination case three years ago?!" The pot-bellied County Magistrate Bao Xingchao, like a leather ball, trembled with fear, his belly shaking: "That is linked to that dirty thing! The Ning family can actually control this kind of thing now?!"

"No wonder, no wonder the Ning family could kill Qian Hu and Wang Jun!"

Bao Xingchao directly pointed all the blame at the Ning family, his voice filled with intense fear!

Yesterday, he and the Wang Family Head decided to each send an expert to deal with the Ning family.

That night, two great experts died, and the Wang Family was also exterminated. If it wasn't the Ning family who did it, who did?

Could this be a coincidence?! Are there so many coincidences in the world?!

"Where were the bodies of Qian Hu and Wang Jun found?" Bao Xingchao asked again.

"On Baishui Street, the killer did not hide the bodies or cover up the clues. The deaths of Lord Qian Hu and Wang Jun can be judged as the work of an extremely strong martial artist!" The head constable clearly stated the analysis results.

"They didn't even hide the bodies, this Ning family... is already fearless." The County Magistrate's hands were behind his back, his tone difficult to steady.

The head constable said nothing more.

After a pause, he tentatively asked the County Magistrate Bao Xingchao: "Then, Lord, should we send people to bring the Ning family in now?"

"Bring in what?! The Ning family can wipe out the Wang Family in one night and kill Qian Hu and Wang Jun. They don't even cover up the clues when they kill people, they are completely telling us that they killed people! They are not afraid of us at all, what can you constables, who are mere mortals, use to catch them?!"

"If it really comes to a fight, it will be a great battle!"

"What about a great battle? We are backed by the imperial court, we can directly ask the higher-ups to send people to suppress them!" The head constable said nonchalantly.

"Are you a blockhead?!" Bao Xingchao kicked the head constable beside him: "Haven't you taken bribes or something? Why are you speaking so righteously? The higher-ups will send people and the first thing they will do is lock us two corrupt officials in prison!"

"Then find Yuwen Gongzi? Yuwen Gongzi should not care about our corruption, right?" The head constable analyzed the methods.

"Yuwen Gongzi? This Son of the Governor still doesn't know me. Compared to this Lord, Ning Buxiu of the Ning family is actually closer to Yuwen Gongzi."

"Seventh Princess?" The head constable listed potential people for help one by one.

Bao Xingchao, however, sighed and shook his head: "The Ning family... cannot be touched."

"There is only one Ning family left in Five Directions City now!"

"If we exterminate the Ning family, who will make money for us in the future? Who will fill the taxes for us? Are we not going to live the rest of our lives?!"

"Since the Ning family did not lay hands on this Lord, they must understand their limits."

"This Lord will make a trip to the Ning family and apologize. This matter is my fault first."

After calming down, Bao Xingchao instead decided to apologize and seek peace.

People in their position inherently have no absolute allies or enemies. As long as the benefits are sufficient, even the hatred of killing Family can be resolved.

And in fact, Ning Buxiu had already more or less calculated Bao Xingchao's thoughts and even his final decision.

This corrupt official, full of flaws, simply did not dare to make a big fuss.

Coupled with the death of Qian Hu, the strongest individual combat force in the County Office, Bao Xingchao had even less confidence to deal with the Ning family.

Another most important reason was that this guy could be promoted to the prefecture as long as he finished this year peacefully.

He was originally coveting the telephone, thinking of taking control of the telephone industry when he finally left Five Directions City, and using this technology to establish himself in the prefecture.

He thought it would be a sure thing, but it overturned so badly!

After being hit on the head, Bao Xingchao immediately became honest.

Various factors combined led to the final decision to apologize.

Ning family.

Ning Buxiu withdrew his gaze from the surveillance of Bao Xingchao. Bao Xingchao had always been a bully who feared the strong.

If he had dealt with the bodies yesterday, this Fatty would have doubted the strength of the Ning family.

Leaving the bodies there without any concealment was the only way to make him afraid, to make him hesitate!

Looking at a Martial Arts book in his hand, Ning Buxiu's thoughts returned.

"Five Tiger Severing Door Saber"

Through the city's surveillance, he had already discovered the presence of some other demons in Five Directions City, the most obvious being some Evil Cult organizations that were acting mysteriously.

Although it was just a beginning, within half a month at most, Five Directions City would inevitably present another scene of suffering under the ravages of these demons and monsters!

He needed strength...

"System, fuse "Five Tiger Severing Door Saber" and "Blazing Sun Twenty-Seven Slashes"!"
