Chapter 545: Fear is pervasive

At noon on the second day, Bai Qing and his party, who had been hurrying all the way, finally arrived at Fushi County, the administrative office of Yan'an Prefecture.

As the first county of Yan'an Prefecture, the scale of this Fushi County is naturally much larger than that of ordinary county seats, but what makes Bai Qing and others feel a little strange is that although it happens to be noon at this time, the number of pedestrians on the street is very small, even those few pedestrians, they look hurried when they walk, as if they are afraid of something.

Some of the shops along the street have only a few people at the door, and the guys in the shops are all vigilant, constantly looking at the pedestrians on the street, but more shops are full of doors, and some even close their doors closely.

It is obviously the seat of a large state capital, but now it is full of depression, which can't help but make Bai Qing and his party a little embarrassed.

His eyes were full of curiosity, but he was still down to business, and when he finally found a pedestrian, the guard stepped forward to stop him.

Suddenly stopped by a few people who were five big and three rough, the pedestrian suddenly had a panicked look on his face, and seemed to be about to be frightened, and suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Don't kill me!" His body trembled like chaff.

Fortunately, the guards reported their identities, and after hearing that the person in front of them was an official and not a villain, the line touched his chest with palpitations, and tried to stand up, but looking at his weak legs, it seemed that he would not be able to recover for a while.

The guards had pointed out the location of the county office, and the pedestrian was ready to leave in fear, just as he had turned around. Bai Qing shouted at him: "Wait a minute! ”

This sudden sound almost killed the pedestrian. As if frightened, his body involuntarily collapsed to the ground. Holding his head tightly with both hands.

Looking at his frightened look, Bai Qing and his party couldn't help but look at each other a little, Bai Qing couldn't help but laugh and cry, he just wanted to ask him why this city was so deserted, and he didn't expect it to scare him like this.

But at this time, even a fool can see that there must be a problem in this county right now, otherwise. These people are not scared like this.

After repeatedly confirming that Bai Qing had no bad intentions, the pedestrian finally stood up tremblingly, and then from his mouth, Bai Qing finally learned the whole story.

After the officials on this side of Yan Road jointly went to the imperial court, who would have thought that this assassin not only did not have any restraint, but became even more rampant, especially in this Fushi County, overnight. From the magistrate to the county lieutenant, to the rich families in the city, they were all killed with one blow, and that's not all. Their corpses were threaded with silk thread and hung on a tree outside the county office. One on a tree, watching those people die without looking at them. The corpse hung on the tree and was swinging in the wind, and many people in the county town were frightened and fainted on the spot.

There are only counties. Because he was sent out on duty, he was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe and save his life, and because of this, the people in the county town also locked themselves tightly at home on weekdays, and did not dare to go out again, lest they encounter assassins and lose their lives.

For a while, the entire county was shrouded in fear, whether it was the government or ordinary people, under this rumor, they looked like they were all soldiers.

The originally bustling county town rarely saw pedestrians on weekdays, and it was empty as if it was a pool of stagnant water.

Even the guards at the city gate looked cowering.

After getting what he wanted, Bai Qing let the pedestrian leave, and after hearing Bai Qing's words, the pedestrian ran away as if he had been pardoned, and his figure quickly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Unexpectedly, things have eroded to such a point, and the assassin is no longer satisfied with assassinating officials, even civilians have begun to attack, although the killing is all rich families, but it has caused this panic to spread directly from the officialdom to the entire county.

In fact, there was only one assassin, but what he did made everyone in the city fall into the fear they imagined, and often in this case, all kinds of rumors will spread all over the sky, and the so-called three people become tigers, which deepens the fear in the hearts of the people.

"Let's go!" Bai Qing took a deep look at the direction in which the pedestrian disappeared, said lightly to the guards, and then got back into the carriage.

After the guards glanced at each other, they escorted the carriage in the direction of the county office.

The closer they got to the county office, the more the guards were able to arrive, and the pedestrians on the road became more and more scarce, as if people were all avoiding the direction of the county office, as if they were avoiding some kind of flood beast.

It should be the scene where the corpses of the rich people in Nazhi County and the rich families were hung on the trees, which was too terrifying, causing serious psychological trauma to these people, so they all subconsciously stayed away from this place.

There were several officials standing at the entrance of the county office, with a listless look, and there was hardly a single figure within a radius of ten zhang from the county office.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, the officials raised their heads, and after seeing Bai Qing and his party, their faces suddenly became vigilant, until Bai Qing's carriage stopped in front of the county government, and they glanced at each other, and then stood there with a somewhat introverted look and shouted loudly: "What person! The county government is heavy, and idle people are not allowed to approach! ”

As he spoke, Bai Qing had already come out of the carriage, and after casually looking at the surrounding situation, he stood there with a calm look, but for those officials, it made them feel a little awe from the bottom of their hearts.

"My lord is an innocent man who came from the imperial capital to investigate the assassins, why don't you hurry in and spread the word, so that your stewards can come out to greet you!" One of the guards shouted at the officials.

From the capital? After hearing the guard's words, those officials were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the outfits of Bai Qing and the others, seeing that their dress was really not like ordinary people, especially the momentum on Bai Qing's body, but it couldn't be faked, thinking of this, they immediately believed a little, and their faces were replaced with a somewhat flattering smile: "It turned out that the Qin Cha arrived, and please ask the Qin Cha to stay for a while, and the little one will go to pass on my county Cheng!" ”

As he spoke, one of the officials rushed into the county office, while the other people looked a little at a loss with a smile on their faces.

In a few moments, the official who had just entered appeared in everyone's eyes again, and at the same time, behind him, there was a hurried figure......
