Chapter 143: Nail
The mansion was originally a building left over from the Minyue Dynasty, and it was originally the residence of a high-ranking nobleman in Minyue. The huge mansion was taken over by the government and became the place where Chen Sheng worked and lived.
Originally, Min Yue Jun Su Shao tried his best to invite Chen Sheng to live in one of his palaces, but Chen Sheng refused to be wooed by Su Shao on the grounds that he did not dare to trespass. He was dethroned and now continues to live in Minyue as a virtual monarch of the Great Qin Empire, flattering the local county guards so that he can live comfortably.
Originally, Fujian was located in a remote area, wild and backward, and it was difficult to integrate into the imperial system. The emperor was not originally prepared to appoint county guards in accordance with the Qin style, and after removing the titles of the kings of Minyue and Dongou and allowing them to continue to govern, they only needed to remain subordinate to Great Qin.
But after Chen Sheng entered the emperor's field of vision, the emperor had a new plan in his heart. Since the emperor of Minzhong County can allow it to maintain the status quo, then it can also be handed over to Chen Sheng, who is not afraid of heaven and earth and has many wonderful ideas, to manage. If it is handled properly, then all the places in Lingnan can adopt this kind of governance in the future, and even if it is not, it can be rearranged according to the original intention. Therefore, Minzhong County became a testing ground for the emperor to test Chen Sheng's ability. Chen Sheng himself did not know about this. If he knew, he would have pursued his own administrative plan, I am afraid that it would have been more intense.
……
In addition to the excessive stimulation of Xu Wugui's physical energy, which caused weakness, he also suffered a lot of sword wounds on his body. These wounds are not new. Due to improper treatment, these wounds have suppurated, and although it is not difficult to deal with, it is not easy, Chen Sheng has to carefully clean up the pus and rotten flesh, then apply the medicine powder and put a bandage. Fortunately, the wound did not hurt the lungs, and it was much less difficult to rectify.
During the whole process, Ling Zhu'er was on the side to assist in the whole process, watching Chen Sheng dance up and down with the silver knife, his eyes were full of curiosity. There is more to Chen Sheng's admiration and love, and I think that our county guard is really capable of being able to be literate and martial, versatile, and adored with a face. At the same time, Ling Zhu'er also carefully recognized Chen Sheng's knife technique, and the two little hands gestured from time to time, as if they were learning how Chen Sheng operated the scalpel......
The injuries on Xu Wugui's body were not serious, but what was serious was his overdrawn physical strength. Fortunately, the Shouwu brought back by Lingzhu'er, and the remaining part of the old patriarch also gave half of it to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng cut down a little of Shouwu, mixed some medicinal herbs that were perfect for the great tonics, and boiled a bowl of medicinal soup and poured it into Xu Wugui to drink, so that his pulse calmed down a little.
After diagnosing that Xu Wugui's life was no longer in serious trouble, Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully instructed Fan Cheng to stay by Xu Wugui's side and go out of the front office to handle official business. Today, such an incident occurred on the streets of Dongye, and the entire Dongye City has been placed under martial law. From the messages sent back by the officers and soldiers, it is clear that no progress has been made in the arrest of the murderer.
Dongye is surrounded by the sea on one side and mountains on three sides, and the terrain is complex. It's too easy to hide a few people. In addition, the government has not ruled here for a long time, and the local people do not cooperate with the government's arrest work, so the progress is extremely slow. Chen Sheng didn't put his hope on them, his biggest hope was Xu Wugui, who was still asleep. Who are these killers, how could they go after and kill Xu Wugui. Xu Wugui naturally knew it, as long as he interrogated Xu Wugui, he would naturally be able to understand.
However, these killers made Chen Sheng very vigilant. The combat effectiveness of these killers is not first-class, and they are slightly inferior to those Xiong Zhen internal guards encountered in Yangcheng. But these killers are very well organized, and after the mission fails, not even a single one is left alive for the enemy. This is something that is beyond the reach of the Xiong Guard. The autopsy also found that the faces of these killers were disfigured, and their facial features could not be distinguished at all. Chen Sheng has a headache with this kind of enemy, although he is not afraid of trouble, but he has enough trouble now, and he can't be distracted to deal with these guys.
Night falls. In a secluded cave in the mountains and forests, several black-clothed people sat around a bonfire, silent. There are several fat rabbits roasted on the bonfire, and under the frying of the bonfire, the fat drips into the charcoal fire, making a "zizi" sound. There was no sound in the entire cave other than this one. From time to time, though, someone looked back at the entrance of the cave, as if waiting for someone.
These black-clothed men were the killers who attacked Xu Wugui. Due to the interference of Chen Sheng and others, they failed and failed to take Xu Wugui away.
After a while, a man in black who looked as tall as an iron tower strode into the cave, and as he entered, the bonfire inside the cave shook slightly.
I saw the man in black walk in. The rest of the people stood up. But the head was lowered. The men in black who walked in were silent and sat down slowly. Said slowly: "I already know what happened today. The one who rescued Xu Wugui today was Chen Sheng, the county guard of Minzhong County! The man in black spoke in a calm tone, but when he heard it in everyone's ears, he trembled all over. Who came up with the idea to shoot on the street and attract the attention of the government? Now that Xu Wugui is in the hands of the government, not to mention how to get that part of his body, Xu Wugui knows so many secrets about us, if he confesses our affairs, what should we do? ”
The rest of the men in black trembled. They could all hear the murderous aura in the indifferent tone of the man in black.
"Bingyi, you explain." The man in black turned his gaze to the side and said to a man in black. This man in black named Bingyi was the leader of the killers in the afternoon.
Bingyi took a deep breath, stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "Everything is the fault of his subordinates. I thought that Xu Wugui was proficient in mechanical spells, and he could easily deal with us all the way in the mountains and forests, so his subordinates deliberately led him to the downtown area, so that he could not give full play to his strengths and capture him in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the people who killed those people in Minzhong County halfway......" Speaking of this, Bingyi's voice became smaller, and he slowly didn't dare to speak anymore. Under the firelight, it can be seen that his shadow is trembling slightly.
"I thought it was ......," the man in black smiled coldly. Slowly stepping forward, his hand was already stuck on Bingyi's neck, and he said hatefully: "I also thought that you weren't so stupid, but I didn't expect that you were really stupid to this point, how do you tell me to explain to those guys above!" As soon as the black-clothed man exerted his hand, Bingyi's neck made a subtle "click" sound, and Bingyi's eyes bulged wide, with a look of disbelief. Unexpectedly, this man in black actually had murderous intentions towards him.
