Trade routes were interrupted and all businesses came to a halt. With the arrival of the Metropolitan Guard Bureau Blood-Clad Guard, the bustling city of Guangping County fell into a state of internal and external closure overnight.
The two fifth-tier Martial Sects personally took charge, mobilized a strong force to station Xilao Pass, surrounded the entire county, and launched a comprehensive investigation on a grand scale.
One of the Wu Zong also brought a special Law Artifact to identify monsters.
Wang Chen never thought that Metropolitan Guard Bureau would take this case so seriously that he would dig up the ground in the county and dig out all the suspects before he would give up.
Later he found out that it was precisely because he discovered Demon Ascension Pool underground in Peony Tower that Metropolitan Guard Bureau paid great attention to it, and while reporting it to the imperial capital, he sent out elites.
The seriousness of the matter is beyond everyone's imagination!
But after completing the case report, Wang Chen was excluded from the investigation and detective ranks. Even though Insight Ability showed his sensitivity to monsters, he did not participate in the follow-up work.
He didn't pay attention, but felt relaxed.
Only families of all sizes in Guangping City, including some local powerful and merchant families, suffered.
No matter how majestic they usually are, under the joint pressure of the Metropolitan Guard Bureau Blood-Clad Guard and Xilao Pass, they can't even make a small splash and can only lie down and let them copy.
In fact, many Lineage are not clean, and it is very normal for prohibited items to be found.
When encountering such a situation, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Under normal circumstances, you will bleed hard and give an explanation and it will be over.
But there are also a handful of people who want money rather than their lives. They try to argue or even resist, and then they are immediately suppressed with an iron fist!
Several of them are harboring criminal thieves and wanted criminals, or are colluding with Rebel Faction and heretics.
That fate is even more tragic.
In short, this turmoil cannot help but subside with the passage of time. On the contrary, it has become more and more intense.
It even spread to areas close to Quang Binh.
It made countless people tremble.
As the initiator of this huge turmoil, Wang Chen lives in the house provided by Duan Yongfeng. He has been staying shut for several days and focusing on practicing martial arts.
Although his mission has been completed, it is too deeply involved, so he cannot leave Guangping County for the time being without further orders from above.
Three days passed in a flash.
This morning Wang Chen was practicing Demon Punishing Spear Technique in the small courtyard. Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door, and a respectful voice came from outside. "Excuse me, is Lord Qianhu here? Guangping Zhong family is here to visit."
Guangping Zhong family?
Wang Chen was slightly startled.
He didn't have any interpersonal relationships here, and he didn't know anything about Zhong family in Guangping. This temporary house was arranged by Duan Yongfeng. He was surprised how the other party found his way to his door.
After thinking about it, Wang Chen put away the spear, went over and opened the door.
I saw three people standing in front of the door. In the middle was an imposing middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe. On the left and right were a beautiful woman with a delicate appearance and a white-haired old man carrying a box.
Um?
Wang Chen didn't recognize the middle-aged man in front of him or the white-haired old man next to him.
But he had an impression of this charming woman. She was the Zhong Yingyao who was betting against Baisheng Gambling House that day!
It's just that the Zhong Yingyao he saw that day was beautiful and sassy, with an unruly wildness, but the current Zhong Yingyao looked like a frightened little rabbit, with red eyes that looked pitiful.
This makes Wang Chen wonder if the other party is the same person!
The contrast is too great.
Wang Chen couldn't help but take an extra look.
As a result, this move was seen by the middle-aged man, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saluted quickly. "Lord Wang, the little man Guangping Zhong family, the master Zhong Zhenshan, please forgive me for visiting today."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Wang Chen, his attitude seemed very humble.
Zhong Yingyao and the white-haired old man also saluted.
"No need to be polite."
Wang Chen said calmly, "Come in and talk."
Although Wang Chen didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, it was obvious that he was not a bad visitor.
When the people in the future took people to the living room, Wang Chen motioned for them to sit down, and then said directly, "Master Zhong family, what do you want from me?"
He has no maids at home, and there is no need to prepare tea and entertain guests.
Zhong Zhenshan, who had just sat down, hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the white-haired old man standing aside.
The latter immediately placed the box he was carrying on the table.
Zhong Zhenshan swallowed and said cautiously, "Lord Wang, I am an ignorant little girl. I offended adults at Peony Tower a few days ago. It is all because of my lax upbringing. I really deserve death!"
He opened the lid of the box and saw that it was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, and the colors were dazzling.
"This is my apology. I hope you will be more generous!"
Wang Chen didn't say anything, he just reached out and grabbed a handful of jewelry and put it down again, feeling quite weird.
He had forgotten everything about Zhong Yingyao a long time ago. He didn't even take it to heart at the time. How could he keep it in his heart?
Unexpectedly, the head of the Zhong family family took his daughter Upper Sect to apologize.
There must be a reason for this!
Thinking of the Metropolitan Guard Bureau Blood-Clad Guard searching the whole city these days, Wang Chen understood more or less.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhong Zhenshan gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that the master is living in seclusion here and has no one close to him. Why don't I let my little girl serve the master and do some work like cleaning, making the bed and folding the quilts."
The pretty face of Zhong Yingyao next to her turned red, but her appearance was even more beautiful.
One thing to say, although she is not a stunning beauty, her appearance and figure are remarkable. I don't know how Zhong Zhenshan usually teaches her to raise such a daughter who is different from ordinary rich ladies!
At this point, the meaning of Zhong Zhenshan is very clear.
He obviously wanted to get married to Wang Chen by giving him a girl. In all likelihood, Zhong family was in trouble and had no choice but to use this method to get out of trouble.
And Zhong Zhenshan must be related to Duan Yongfeng.
Wang Chen's thoughts turned, and he roughly sorted out the context of the matter, and said, "I accept this apology. Take your daughter back with you. I don't need anyone to serve me."
He didn't mean to embarrass Zhong family, and accepting the gift was just to make the other party feel at ease and avoid other troubles.
As for Zhong Yingyao, thank you very much.
Zhong Zhenshan obviously did not expect that Wang Chen would accept money but not people, and did not want his charming daughter.
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to have any objections, so he immediately said with a smile, "Yes."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I will tell Captain Duan."
Wang Chen will not guarantee anything, but as long as Zhong family is not involved in anything treacherous or treasonous, it is not impossible to say something for them.
Now Wang Chen also has such a face!
Zhong Zhenshan was immediately overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed. "Thank you, sir!"
Zhong Yingyao next to him cast a complicated look at Wang Chen, with a trace of resentment in his eyes.
