Chapter 913: Distress

The person in charge just staged a bitter drama in the prefect's study, which looked very embarrassed and miserable.

But in fact, the injury on his forehead was indeed knocked out by himself, and he also suffered a lot outside, so most of the embarrassment on the person in charge was also real and did not hide it.

It's just that he magnified his embarrassment countless times.

But in the eyes of the prefect, it was enough to make him trust himself. This is the most important thing for the master, as long as his goal can be achieved, other things are not the focus.

Now that he has escaped the catastrophe, he doesn't want to worry about other things. Although the loss of so many killers who had worked so hard to cultivate was a heavy blow to the prefect. But for now, as long as the responsibility does not fall on his head, the director does not want to worry so much anymore.

After all, he had been frightened enough today. If he came a little more, he didn't want to accept it.

The head sat in his room, and in the end, he wiped the blood on his forehead with a towel, and looked at the bloodstained towel on his hand, feeling that the wound on his forehead was more painful. He frowned, still planning to find a doctor for himself first.

Anyway, this is his own face, even if he is in charge, he doesn't want to disfigure himself because of such a thing. After all, who doesn't care about their appearance.

Thinking of what happened before, the palm touched his forehead, and his fingers were still a little trembling. The psychological shadow left on him by the previous events was too great. At this time, it is estimated that he will not be able to recover for a while.

The person in charge didn't dare to think about the picture at that time, and for the first time, he found that his courage was so small. He truly realized how weak, pitiful, and helpless he was in the face of death.

He sighed, went out, and called for a doctor to go to him.

The guards and maids who met the people in charge on the road had already discussed it in private.

The person in charge came back in such an embarrassment, and they didn't know what the person in charge was going to do. I just vaguely knew that it seemed that the prefect had ordered him something, and that matter seemed to be quite important. But no one expected that the person in charge would come back like this.

No one knows what he has experienced, but looking at the embarrassed appearance of the master, everyone has doubts and sympathy in their hearts.

Especially, after the person in charge came out of the prefect's study, there was an obvious wound on his forehead. Could it be that he was punished by the adults?

In short, the person in charge doesn't even need to say anything, and the guards and maids outside have already spontaneously made up a lot of plots. But most of the subordinates still have more sympathy and pity in their hearts for this master.

After all, although the person in charge of affairs does not care about them on weekdays, compared with adults, the identity of the person in charge is obviously more amiable.

Approximately, this is the difference between a subordinate and a master. For them, the master is not a master in the end. Seeing that something like this happened to him, everyone didn't have any sense of schadenfreude, just sympathy.

And the one in charge wants this effect. He knew very well that the topics that these guards and maids were discussing in private would one day drift into the ears of the prefect. At that time, the prefect's reproach for him will become less and less, or even disappear.

From that time on, he was still the dutiful and trusted leader of the prefect. In addition, adults will not remember what they did in the first place. What's more, with his own efforts, he has tried his best to put aside his relationship with this matter.

The person in charge is still a little confident in this matter. As long as the relationship with this matter is put aside, it will have nothing to do with him after that. After all, those killers are indeed a pity, but compared to these killers, the person in charge naturally thinks that his life is the most important thing.

As for what kind of measures the adults will take, the person in charge is not too worried. He believes that adults will always have a way, and during this time, he was injured again, and adults would only let him recuperate from his injuries, and would definitely not let him do anything again.

In this way, the matter has nothing to do with you.

Thinking of this, the head of the matter, who was still a little nervous, relaxed again. Anyway, now that he has escaped, he doesn't need to dwell on the past, as long as he does his part, this is enough.

Now that God has allowed him to survive, he will naturally cherish his life more in the days to come.

The person in charge was completely relaxed, but the prefect's side was still frowning, immersed in his own thoughts.

After a while, he clapped his hands lightly and called out.

The air fluctuated, and a man dressed in black appeared in front of the prefect. He respectfully knelt down and saluted the prefect.

"Your Excellency."

The man in black called in a low voice, his voice hoarse.

The prefect nodded at the man in black, his eyebrows still tightly locked, and he did not relax.

"That place, but you've been there?"

The prefect suddenly came up with this sentence out of nowhere.

The man in black lowered his head, still maintaining a half-kneeling posture, but only opened his mouth to answer: "Lord Hui, my subordinates have gone to investigate, and there is indeed no trace of life." The subordinates took the antidote in advance, so they went in and out smoothly, and nothing happened to them for the time being. ”

After hearing this, the prefect nodded slightly. Although he had heard about it from the mouth of the person in charge, after really letting his people confirm it again, it made him even more uncomfortable.

None of his killers survived. That's not one or two, but a hundred and fifty! He spent so much time and so many silver taels on this, and in the end it ended up like this!

When the prefect thought of this, he couldn't help but feel another throbbing pain in his heart.

He let out a long sigh before he spoke, "What is going on, is the situation really as the master said?" ”

The man in black seemed to hesitate, but he quickly spoke.

"Yes, it is true, as the master said, that their bodies bear stab wounds and sword wounds, and these marks match the weapons they hold in their hands. Therefore, they did kill each other to the death. ”

When the prefect heard this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart. He didn't expect that these people were really killing each other to death, which sounded even more heart-wrenching and suffocating.

If he is killed by others, it doesn't matter, he has a debtor and a debtor, and he can still know who he should seek revenge with. But now, it was his own people who killed each other, and in the end, he could only suffer this dumb loss.

After all, this matter was what he ordered his subordinates to do. As a result, this kind of thing happened in the end, so that even if the prefect was angry, he didn't know who to turn to.

Now that Mrs. Pei is no longer in this city, even if he wants to ask her, there is no other way. The prefect remembered at this time that when Mrs. Pei left, he did not tell him the exact address, and he did not know where Mrs. Pei's hometown was.

As a result, even if he wanted to write a letter to ask, he didn't know where to send it.

In this way, if he can't get those stones, how should his gambling stone shop be good?

Thinking of this, the prefect couldn't help but slap his thigh fiercely, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes. Knowing this, he shouldn't have been so confident, and let Mrs. Pei leave without asking anything.

At the beginning, he just let his subordinates investigate at random to make sure that there was indeed this place, and he didn't think about the rest of the things at all.

Even, I didn't let people go in to investigate.

At the end of the day, he was too complacent.

In fact, the prefect didn't realize that there was another deep-seated reason, that is, he trusted Mrs. Pei too much. He never even thought about whether this matter was a bureau from beginning to end.

But in the end, it was the prefect who trusted himself too much. He believes in everything he sees, trusts his judgment more, and does not doubt his ability to see people.

However, Su Wanqing is disguised like this, and the prefect can't see it, and it's not surprising. After all, he is still too shallow compared to Su Wanqing's Taoism. Even though he is much older than Su Wanqing, in front of Su Wanqing, his IQ is obviously not enough.

"Even so, do you think there's something wrong with the white mist?"

The prefect sighed and asked.

The man in black was silent for a moment, and replied in a flat tone, "Lord Hui, this matter ...... It is difficult for subordinates to judge, because subordinates have already taken the antidote in advance, and the white mist has no effect on subordinates. But based on the situation on the ground, there seems to be no better explanation. The subordinates think that the white fog probably still has some influence. There was nothing else around but the white mist. ”

It is rare for the man in black to say such a long sentence, but this also makes the prefect understand that the person in charge of this matter is indeed not lying. However, there was really no need for him to joke about such a serious matter, unless he was tired of being alive.

The prefect couldn't help but sigh again, waved his hand at the man in black and said, "That's the case, that's it, Lord Ben thinks about it again, you go down first." ”

The man in black hesitated.

"Your Excellency."

"What else?"

"It's okay, my subordinates will retire."

The man in black was silent for a moment, but he still saluted, turned over neatly, and disappeared into the air in an instant.

Originally, he also wanted to report to the prefect that some parts of those corpses seemed to have small white spots, but they were inconspicuous. He didn't know what it was, but maybe he was too worried, and the white spot might be because of the white mist.

The man in black thought about it, but he still didn't say anything, and retreated silently.

Only the prefect was left alone in the study.
