However, now was not the time to worry about this.
What they were worried about now was how to deal with the Chen family.
With such a major event happening in Ji County, with over a thousand people dying, this matter would definitely be difficult to cover up.
Moreover, the people of Ji County were currently very unstable. They needed to think of a way to stabilize their hearts.
The best way to calm people's hearts was to find the murderer.
They knew the murderer very well.
However, was the Chen family that easily moved?
With the power of the county government, it was not difficult to bring the Chen family to justice.
However, they had their misgivings.
What were his scruples?
It was one of the great clans in Ji County.
The current Ji County belonged to the Imperial Court in name. It belonged to Zhang Zhidong, the County Lord.
However, in reality, they belonged to the various clans of Ji County.
The current court is weak.
The officials in the court were busy fighting for power with the emperor, and the central government was unable to suppress the local government.
Some remote areas had already formed independent territories.
Although the situation in Ji County was not as grim, it was not much better.
There were many clans in Ji County.
These clans had controlled Ji County for hundreds of years and had long since taken root.
Even the county magistrate, Zhang Zhidong, had to be careful.
The Chen Clan exterminating the Zhang and Wen Clans was not a big deal in the eyes of the clans in Ji County.
However, if the County Lord were to step forward and destroy the Chen Clan, it would definitely enrage the clans of Ji County.
It wasn't because of the deep relationship between the clans of Ji County and the Chen Clan.
Rather, it was because they were all from the same clan in Ji County. They were born to stand on the same line.
Anyone could destroy the Chen Family, but not the County Lord!
If the County Lord made a move, it would be a signal to the outside world.
It was a signal that a County Lord was about to attack the Ji County clan.
If the county lord could destroy the Chen family today, would he be able to destroy the other families tomorrow?
This was not something they could tolerate, nor was it something the county lord wanted to see.
In the vast Ji County, only the County Lord knew how terrifying these great clans of Ji County were.
If they were standing in the opposite direction, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that time, not to mention the County Lord's throne, even his own life would be in danger.
Therefore, Zhang Zhidong intended to keep the peace.
He pondered for a while.
Then, he said to Ge Feilong, who had been waiting for a long time,"Fei Long, put out a notice saying that the Zhang and Wen families had a conflict due to their interests. The two families started fighting and in the end, the Wen family was destroyed by the Zhang family, and the Zhang family burned themselves to death.”
When Ge Feilong heard this, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.
This reason, was he trying to fool anyone?
Even the commoners at the bottom of the hierarchy would not believe it.
But so what?
What they needed to do was to give an explanation.
Even if this explanation was full of flaws and unconvincing.
However, did anyone dare to question it?
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
As a native of Ji County, he knew better than the county lord how terrifying the families in Ji County were.
Ge Feilong agreed and was about to leave.
However, he was stopped by Zhang Zhidong.
Under Ge Feilong's puzzled gaze, Zhang Zhidong said indifferently,""Right, Fei Long, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you.”
"Sir, please speak."
Zhang Zhidong's gaze turned cold.
He said,"Make a trip to the Chen family and meet the head of the Chen family. Help me beat the Chen family up. Tell them to be more honest and low-key in the future. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being merciless."”
Zhang Zhidong's words already had a hint of killing intent.
Ge Feilong shivered and quickly replied,""Yes, my lord. I will do it immediately.”
Zhang Zhidong nodded and waved his hand.
Ge Feilong understood and left with cupped fists.
He watched as Ge Feilong gradually disappeared from his sight.
Zhang Zhidong stroked his beard, his gaze suddenly becoming extremely deep and gloomy.
At the Chen family's mansion.
In the courtyard, the faces of the members of the Chen family were filled with joy.
After the death of the elderly head, the haze that shrouded the Chen family's hearts had been swept away.
In the Patriarch's courtyard.
More than 20 high-level leaders of the Chen family gathered.
These 20 people were the stewards of the Chen family. Each of their subordinates was in charge of a portion of the Chen family's business.
At the same time, they also had extraordinary cultivation.
Basically, they were all at the middle stage of the Houtian realm.
They were the pillars of the Chen family.
However, at this moment, these people were standing respectfully on both sides of the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of the family head, Chen Kun.
They had been waiting for a long time, but no one dared to complain.
Not long after.
A white-robed figure slowly walked over, accompanied by an old man.
These two people were the Chen Clan's First Elder and Chen Clan's First Elder.
Chen Kun lifted his robe. He sat on the patriarch's throne swiftly and decisively.
The Great Elder sat on the upper left seat.
After the two of them sat down, the group of Chen family stewards cupped their fists in unison.
"Greetings, Patriarch and Great Elder!"”
Everyone bowed.
Chen Kun's expression was calm.
That pair of deep, abyss-like eyes casually swept across everyone.
For some reason, he didn't release any pressure.
Everyone felt their hearts throb.
It was as if he was being targeted by some kind of monster.
They all quivered.
He was even more respectful of this young but decisive clan head.
