"What happened?" Zhao Xing looked at Wang Long in surprise.
Wang Long was already at level two of the Xiantian Realm. He had followed him to kill demons and uproot the three families. His courage and ability had been trained. Ordinary small things wouldn't make him rush or lose his composure.
"Sir, the village chief and his family were killed.”Wang Long said in a deep voice.
"The body was found in the morning. There were seventeen people in the family, from the elderly to the women and children.”
"The corpse was just transported to the coroner's office. The coroner found that the corpse had been engraved with words.”
" What?!" Zhao Xing frowned and immediately went to the coroner's office.
Wang Long and the others followed behind. Soon, a group of people crowded around Zhao Xing and arrived at the coroner's office.
The coroner's office was a government organization that examined the cause of death of corpses. It was equivalent to a forensic doctor.
When Zhao Xing came over, the coroner's office was emitting a faint smell of blood.
Seventeen corpses were covered in white cloth and lying on the wooden boards.
"Sir, the cause of death was a single fatal blow, caused by a slit throat. It was extremely vicious.”Wang Long said.
"Who did this!" Zhao Xing was burning with rage.
"It's the Blackwind Bandits!"
" And, on their corpses, there are, there are words carved, say, say…"
"Remove the white cloth!" Zhao Xing gritted his teeth.”
"Yes." Wang Long immediately ordered someone to lift the white cloth.
There was nothing on the corpses. The chest and back of each corpse had been cut open with a small knife. There were crooked words carved on them, and blood was dripping.
Zhao Xing focused his eyes and saw that every corpse had the same sentence:
Three days later, he prepared five carts of gold and silver, 100,000 taels, and sent them to Heyuan Ferry.
If they dare to have the intention of ambushing, or three days later, if they don't see the gold and silver, they will kill ten more families.
The signature was Black Wind Mountain Village.
After seeing all of this, Zhao Xing was instantly enraged, and his hands were cracking.
Too arrogant!
The village chief was considered his subordinate, but he actually killed his subordinate in public and even asked him to give them gold and silver?
Staring at the bloody corpses, Zhao Xing took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart."Wang Long, how much do you know about the Black Wind Mountain Village?”
"Milord." "Black Wind Mountain Village has always been elusive," said Wang Long.”
"I only heard that they appear in the Phoenix Cry Mountain.”
"These Blackwind Bandits first appeared thirty years ago.”
"Rumor has it that there are many Xiantian cultivators who often harass Heyuan County and the surrounding Lin County.”
"Over the years, countless people have died in their hands.”
"Then why is no one taking care of it? Shouldn't the prefecture send someone to annihilate such an act?”Ma Wu asked angrily.
"It's difficult!" Wang Long shook his head.
"Mount Phoenix Cry is a mountain range with countless lakes, lakes, mountains, and forests. No one can find the other party's nest.”
"In recent years, it's not that no one has tried to exterminate them. The counties have sent out their own regiments, formed militia, and even mobilized the Heroic Army.”
"However, the effect was not great. Instead, they suffered even greater revenge.”
"In the end, the counties could only agree to Black Wind Mountain's request and send a certain amount of gold and silver every year.”
"Could it be that the county head of every county would agree to the bandits 'request?!”Zhao Xing was extremely disappointed.
"Milord, of course not." Wang Long shook his head and said," The officials still have to keep their faces…These are all negotiated by the local gentry clans.”
"For example, in Heyuan County, the three great clans used to send money once a year in exchange for peace.”
" Then, the three families will lead the gentry and use this as an excuse to mobilize the people to donate," Zhao Xing said expressionlessly." They might even raise taxes!"”
Wang Long was speechless. This was indeed a disgrace to the county government.
"No wonder the Li and Yang Families sent messenger pigeons to the Blackwind Bandits for help when I destroyed the Three Great Clans.”
"No wonder the three great clans are so fearless!”
"The snake demon is a knife hanging over the people and the government. The Blackwind Bandits are the second knife.”
Zhao Xing snorted coldly.
"However, now that I'm in office, I can't indulge them anymore!”
Zhao Xing was filled with killing intent. He immediately shouted,"Wang Long, Ma Wu!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Wang Long Ma Wu replied.
"I order the two of you to each lead a hundred martial arts masters from the martial arts class and wait for orders in front of the drill ground!”
"Yes, sir!" Wang Long and Ma Wu left immediately.
"My lord." At the side, Secretary Liu cupped his hands and asked," The Blackwind Bandits come and go without a trace. How did you find their location?"”
"If we had made a big fuss, the other party would have left long ago.”
" Since the Blackwind Bandits dared to make such a request," Zhao Xing said coldly," they must be hiding somewhere in Heyuan County!”
"As for how to find them, I have my own methods!”
Zhao Xing closed his eyes.
"Buzz!" Suddenly, an invisible force spread out, causing Zhao Xing's perception to expand like flowing water. With the county city as the center, it quickly spread out.
Divine Skill: Knowing Like the Back of Your Hand!
Activate!
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction.
"Blackwind Bandits, I've found you!”
