Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Aftermath
(New week, ask for collections, ask for tickets!)
After Chen Tang left, Gu Le calmed down, quickly picked up his coat, wrapped it on his body, and then ran in the other direction before everyone cameβif she was bumped into like this, her innocence would be ruined. Even if the body is complete, it will not be able to distinguish clearly.
Gu Le was in a mess, his mind was in turmoil, and he didn't know what was going on. I only vaguely remembered that I came out with the five-way son.
So, what about the five-way son?
Who is the chivalrous warrior who killed the demons?
Inexplicably, the cold glance that passed through the other party's departure in his mind was extremely profound.
......
Soon, a group of people rushed to the scene, and under the firelight, they saw the corpses on the snow, and the death was terrifying.
Devil!
How did the demons get to the island?
Although the other party had already fallen, everyone still did not dare to approach, and only gathered outside to watch.
"Look at that costume, this, this looks like the ...... worn by the son of Wutong"
One of them spoke suddenly.
Hearing this, everyone carefully observed and gradually recognized it:
"Yes, it's the son of Wutong. β
"I recognize that jade pendant ......"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking of a possible truth, and their hands and feet gradually became cold.
......
Bang bang bang!
There was a loud knock on the door.
Chen Tang opened the door and saw Tao Hao standing outside, looking anxious: "Don't be careful, something happened, something happened!"
Chen Tang asked, "What's wrong?"
Tao Hao gasped: "It turns out that the Wutong son was transformed by a demon, and I don't know who killed him on the island, many people have seen it, it's a pig demon......
Chen Tang said indifferently: "It's good if you're dead." β
Tao Hao sighed: "You don't know that the Xueyue Society has become a mess. There were two young ladies who had been broken by this demon's way before, and were coaxed by its rhetoric afterwards. I thought that I could marry into a wealthy family and become a noblewoman, but who knew that it was like this...... They couldn't bear the blow, so they ran to the cliff and committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river. β
Chen Tang sighed "ah", and then sighed.
Tao Hao was indignant: "Fortunately, there are chivalrous men who will kill this fang, otherwise, I don't know how many women will suffer from the scourge." β
As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "I heard that Gu Qianjin, who is a scholar of politics, also went out with demons...... However, she appeared just now, but there was nothing unusual, and she may have escaped. β
Chen Tang immediately said: "Ming Jing, don't say too much about these words, it will dirty people and innocence, but it will force people to a dead end." β
When Tao Hao heard this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "If you don't mention it, it's me talking nonsense." β
Chen Tang said: "If such a big event happens, I can't hide it, I'm afraid that the soldiers of the state capital will come over soon." β
Tao Hao nodded: "Yes, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, when I see the appearance of the pig demon, I will feel frightened now, it is better to go back early." Who knows if this demon has a party, it calls itself 'five links', it's just one of them, and there are four links, donkey demons and dog demons or something, if one more jumps out, it will be miserable. β
Chen Tang said: "You are not a woman. β
Tao Hao shouted: "Who can say for sure, what if other demons have a good male style...... paused and glanced at Chen Tang: "But with you, I should still be safe." β
Something happened to Xueyue Island, and the news was quickly reported to the yamen. More than half an hour later, a large group of soldiers and armor took a boat to the island, where martial law was put under full martial law, and various investigations and aftermath work were carried out.
The members of the Xueyue Society on the island were called aside by the armor generals and issued a ban, telling them not to talk about tonight's events after returning to the city, which would cause panic in people's hearts.
In a word: harmony!
Chen Tang saw that there was armor carefully packing the corpse of the demon, escorted by more than ten people, loaded onto an ironclad ship, and transported away.
He thought to himself, "Could it be that this demon corpse is a treasure, can it be eaten, or can it be made of other materials?"
However, there is no answer to these questions at present. Under the circumstances, he would not have been able to take the body with him.
Subsequently, the soldiers sent the members away by boat, and they also thoughtfully sent people to escort them back to their respective homes.
This is mainly because these members all have some identity backgrounds, and there is no room for loss.
After returning home, Su Ling had fallen asleep and woke up.
Chen Tang was afraid that she would be worried, so he only said that the poem would be over, so he rushed back.
Su Ling asked if he was hungry, then went to the kitchen to make a fire, cooked a big bowl of noodles, added a few slices of meat, and put two eggs in.
The food at the poetry meeting was good, big fish and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas, Chen Tang let go of his belly to eat and drink. However, after a fierce battle with Wutong Gongzi, the consumption was not small, and I felt hungry again. When the noodles are ready, take a big bite of them.
Su Ling held his chin in his hand and watched from the side, smiling slightly.
At this time, the heavy snow that had been brewing for a long time finally fell like goose feathers. By tomorrow, it will be a white world covered in silver. If the snow is deep, you have to pick up a tool to remove it.
After eating noodles, clean up a little, and go back to their rooms to rest.
For a while, Chen Tang couldn't sleep, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, recalling the process of fighting with demons:
He first outwitted, took advantage of the characteristics of the qi of heaven and man, sneaked behind the opponent, slapped him heavily, and the attack was successful, seizing the first move. The rest is much easier. Since the breath has grown stronger, the staying power has been greatly enhanced, and there are no worries.
In the final analysis, this demon is not as powerful as rumored and imagined.
Evil is divided into strong and weak, and so are demons, so I don't know how to divide them. You have to ask someone who knows the inside story about this matter to understand a thing or two.
But no matter what, the matter is finally over.
On the part of the government, it is obvious that they want to block the relevant news, so as not to cause a storm in the city and the people's hearts will fluctuate.
In fact, there are certain merits to this. Otherwise, there will be trouble, and it is easy to have a civil uprising, which will be out of control.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Tang began to do the Sunday operation, and then went to sleep.
The snow fell heavily for a day and a night, and when it stopped, it began to rain lightly.
The severe rain and snow weather has had a great impact on the livelihood of the people in Panzhou, and the prices of rice, vegetables, meat, and various daily necessities have risen sharply.
The expenses are very high, and there is no income, Chen Tang once again feels the pressure of life, and after the New Year, he is afraid that he will be stretched thin, and it is very difficult.
If you win the lift, you are still poor!
During this period, something happened in Panzhou Mansion, and many notices were posted on the streets of all sizes, which were looking for people, and even Hanmo Street posted one.
Chen Tang went to see that on the notice, there was a portrait of a person, which was exactly the appearance of Wuji, and the painting was very real.
The notice said that a large amount of money was sought for the whereabouts of this benefactor, and anyone who knew about it would be rewarded with a hundred dollars.
Word spread about the matter, and soon a boxer pointed out that the person who painted the portrait was named "Mowgli" and had served as a seater in the Katsubu Pavilion......
Chen Tang knew that the identity of Mowgli could no longer be used lightly.
