Chapter 56 Threats!

"This"

"Since the Five Path Masters are practicing, it doesn't matter if we wait here."

Seeing that the government servant behind him wanted to say something else, Wang Wei knew Zhao Jiuniu's character quite well and immediately interrupted.

"Everyone, please have tea!"

Although Zhao Jiuniu accepted death, he was not a person without discernment. Seeing that his refusal aroused resentment among the government officials, he quickly brought benches and tea from the house, which somewhat appeased everyone's dissatisfaction.

It is true that even if he did nothing, these government officials would not dare to do anything to him, but Zhao Jiuniu knew very well that this was just for Deng Yang's sake. As for himself, he was just a boy from Yizhuang. , he still knows his identity well.

"What do you call me Chaoye? If Brother Zhao thinks highly of me, just call me Brother Wang."

Taking the tea handed over by Zhao Jiuniu, Wang Wei immediately recognized his brother with a bold look on his face.

Zhao Jiuniu just smiled at Wang Wei's words of intimacy, but he didn't dare to take it seriously at all.

Although he is young, he has experienced the ups and downs of the world, and his temperament is quite precocious. He can still tell clearly whether the other party is sincere or polite.

While everyone was chatting, the sun soon reached its peak, and Deng Yang slowly walked out of the backyard.

"Master, you are out of seclusion"

Looking at Deng Yang who appeared, Zhao Jiuniu immediately put down his work and stepped forward to greet him.

"Um"

"Wang Putou is here, but do you have something to convey to the county magistrate?"

Deng Yang nodded calmly to Zhao Jiuniu and looked at Wang Wei who also quickly stood up to greet him.

After agreeing to take up a post in the county government, although Deng Yang did not need to go to the county government on weekdays, Wang Wei became Hu Boda's mouthpiece.

Whenever there was something happening in the county government that Hu Boda wanted to inform Deng Yang, Wang Wei would do it for him.

"Hey, it's not a big deal."

"It's just a branch of the county Zun's family. Yesterday, he suffered a sudden disaster in the city. The county Zun was deeply saddened, but he wanted to ask the head of the fifth channel to help him see if he could find any clues on his body. What kind of crazy thieves did this?"

Faced with Deng Yang's inquiry, Wang Wei subconsciously turned his gaze to the corpse truck behind him, with a hint of vague heart palpitations flashing deep in his eyes.

"Oh, someone actually dares to attack the county magistrate's fellow sect."

"Bring the body in first. I can't guarantee whether we can find clues. I can only say that we will do our best."

After hearing this, Deng Yang subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Then please ask the leader of the fifth channel."

After hugging Deng Yang, Wang Wei immediately ordered his servants to carry the corpse on the corpse truck into the morgue.

"You also come in and take a look."

Looking at the straw mat that was still overflowing with stinking blood, Deng Yang immediately gave instructions to Zhao Jiuniu beside him.

In the past half month, with Zhao Jiuniu's help, he had been able to escape from those complicated chores.

Although Zhao Jiuniu has a slightly dull personality, he is fortunate to be honest, down-to-earth and willing to work. Most of the tasks assigned to him can be completed with stumbling steps.

The only drawback may be that he is not smart enough and is a little timid.

However, in Deng Yang's view, these shortcomings are nothing. Lack of cleverness means lack of thinking, and it does not mean that timidity cannot be exercised.The former disciples of the original body ended up on the road of killing their masters because they were too clever and had too many thoughts. Therefore, in Deng Yang's view, not being clever enough was not a bad thing.

After leading Zhao Jiuniu into the morgue, Deng Yang slowly uncovered the straw mat wrapping the body.

"You said this person is a branch of the county lord's family."

Looking at the corpse in front of him that was covered in blood and flesh and covered with bite marks, Deng Yang looked calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little amusement in his heart.

"vomit"

"Ugh! Ugh"

On the other hand, Zhao Jiuniu, who was on the side, looked at the body that had been disemboweled, with no trace of the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs, and exuded a disgusting stench. He couldn't help but feel his stomach churn, and he lay on the side and vomited wildly.

Seeing this scene, Deng Yang just glanced at him subconsciously and didn't say much.

After all, he is only a young man in his teens. Although he is considered to be calm-minded and dead people are not uncommon, people with such a death appearance, let alone him, even the government officials who are responsible for collecting dead bodies every day, are at this time. They all looked like they couldn't bear to look at them.

"Yes, this person is indeed a branch of the County Lord's clan."

Wang Wei, on the other hand, although his face was a little pale at this time, his expression was still barely normal.

"Well, that's strange. A member of the county's clan would actually be bitten to death by a wild dog."

"You can go back and report to the county magistrate. The wild dogs around Beifeng County are too rampant. They dare to sneak into the county to prey on living people. It is simply lawless. You can ask Mr. Huang to send troops to clean up the surrounding mass graves. Wild dogs can just make the area around this county clean."

"Does the Taoist mean that people are killed by wild dogs?"

Hearing Deng Yang's words, Wang Wei suddenly looked in disbelief.

Although the body was incomplete, the wounds did not look like it had been chewed to death by dogs. Instead, it looked like it had been dismembered by some large beast.

But this is Beifeng County, so why are there large beasts roaming around? Wang Wei always thought that this was man-made, deliberately pretending to be like this to confuse the officials, but he never thought that this was the work of wild dogs.

"You just need to bring my words to the county magistrate."

Faced with Wang Wei's disbelieving expression, Deng Yang didn't bother to explain. After all, there were some things that ordinary officials like them couldn't intervene in. The more explanations he had, the more confusing he would become.

However, the identity of this corpse surprised him. Although its face was already bloody, Deng Yang could still tell from its bones that this person was the mage who performed the illusion in Juxian Tower that day.

But I didn't expect that this person would be a tribesman of the county magistrate Hu Boda, which is quite interesting.

As for the bite marks on the corpse, although the corpse aura was not obvious, Deng Yang could tell at a glance that it was the work of those hybrid cadaver dogs.

It seems that his guess is not wrong. The barbarians of the Xin tribe are indeed colluding with the families in Beifeng County, but they don't know which family is colluding with these barbarians.

Or maybe the three major families in Beifeng County are all connected with these barbarians.

And when he settled in Beifeng County, he did not hide his whereabouts. If the barbarian of the Xin tribe really colluded with the families in Beifeng County, he would definitely not be able to hide it from him.

He had just agreed to take up a post in the county government not long ago, and now that barbarian dared to bring the corpse to his door openly. The threat was simply obvious.

"It seems that the lesson learned last time was not enough. I just don't know which family is responsible for this, or maybe all three families in the county have a hand in it."

After Wang Wei and others left, Deng Yang's thoughts turned around, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
