About an hour has passed, and the scene of the incident has gathered the Surveyor Office and the state army, what happened here has alarmed the entire Nanping County, and the death of more than 30 people at a time is definitely the biggest murder case in more than ten years, especially the only son of the county lieutenant, and the county magistrate has to pay attention to it.

Far away, a team of errands rode bicycles from the east, and just got off the bike, and before they could catch their breath, a burly middle-aged general in leather armor couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?" Did you find the murderer? ”
Seeing the other party's face full of anger, the messenger cautiously replied: "Lord Hui County, we have traced all the way and lost their traces in the area of Wangwu Mountain, they should have entered Wangwu Mountain." "That's right, this person is the county lieutenant of Nanping County, Chen Chong's father Chen Xing.
Chen Xing grabbed the errand by the collar and said angrily: "Since you know that they went to Wangwu Mountain, why didn't you chase them, what are you doing when you come back?" As he spoke, he pushed hard and pushed the errand to the ground. The errand office called a grievance in his heart, there were only five of them, and there were six people on the other side, they were still the kind of bandits who killed people without blinking, they didn't dare to chase them in, Wangwushan was not a good place.
Chen Xing said to the officers beside him: "Captain Deng, you take two hundred, no, five hundred people to Wangwushan, even if you turn the entire Wangwushan around, you must find out the murderer, and if you resist, you will immediately kill him." As he spoke, he slapped him on the shoulder.
Captain Deng responded to the order: "Yes, Lord County Lieutenant." ”
Chen Xing is still very relieved about this Deng Guangtian's ability to do things, Deng Guangtian was originally just a squad leader, he was picked up by him, he can be regarded as his own person, there are some things that need not be said explicitly He believes that Deng Guangtian understands what he means.
The errand guessed correctly, Yuan Fang and they were in Wangwu Mountain at this time, there were no horses, it was easy to be caught up by walking on the country road or post road, and making such a big deal, Yuan Fang didn't think that the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Nanping County would easily let him go, so, according to the plan that had been studied before, after leaving Mai Qinghe, they entered Wangwu Mountain, and while avoiding the errand office, they were also evading the surveillance in the shadows.
Wangwu Mountain, specifically it should be the Wangwu Mountain Range, the mountains are undulating, stretching for thousands of miles, running through the eastern part of Nanzhou and the western part of Dongzhou and the southern part of Dongping County, the mountains are full of dangers, wild beasts are everywhere, many hunters are hunting in Wangwu Mountain for a living, even if these hunters enter Wangwu Mountain, they have to be careful, and they will die here if they are not careful, which shows the danger.
In addition to a large number of poisonous insects and beasts, Wangwu Mountain also has a lot of other naturally formed dangers, such as some karst caves and cellars, you look at the ground is solid rock, but that is only the appearance, it is likely to be just a thin layer, and you may fall into the bottomless abyss if you step on it.
On the third day after the Maiqinghe tragedy, in the Wangwu Mountains, Yuan Fangzheng took a map drawn with a few lines and flipped it over, then looked up and around, then looked at the map again, and finally said helplessly: "We seem to be lost." ”
Ouyang Xianxue was startled and said, "No." As he spoke, he walked to Yuan Fang's side and looked at the map in his hand, and then looked at the surrounding environment, and gradually, his brows furrowed.
Wang Tiezhu couldn't believe it and said, "You can't really get lost, right?" Didn't you confirm it yesterday? ”
Zhao Shuigen rubbed his buttocks, looked at the sun in the sky through the gap in the branches, and said disapprerovitically: "The general direction is right, it's not much worse anyway." "The map was drawn by the local state army when he was in Dongzhou, and it is said that the man was hunting in Wangwu Mountain, which is the area where he often hunts, and most of the dangers can be avoided by following the route of the map.
Yuan Fang reluctantly put the map into his arms and looked at the sky: "Let's go, try to find a place to settle before dark, at least you have to get out of this forest, this place is too depressing." Zhao Shuigen led the horse and followed behind Yuan Fang, looking back from time to time, he always felt that something was peeking behind.
The group set off again, Wang Tiezhu brandished his sword to open the way, Ouyang Xianxue and the three women protected Yuan Fang in the middle in a triangle, and after Zhao Shuigen was broken, this was the formation they had maintained since entering the mountain.
At the beginning, Yuan Fang felt very uncomfortable, he was a big man and was protected by three women, which hurt his self-esteem, but everyone insisted again and again, Yuan Fang couldn't help it, fortunately, he almost didn't encounter any danger along the way, at most, he was scratched by the thorns on the side of the road and scratched his clothes or trouser legs, and he didn't even encounter a pheasant and hare, so that he had to gnaw on a dry steamed bun.
In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the Mai Qinghe tragedy, and the news has spread throughout Nanping County, whether it is the merchants in the county or the people outside the city, they all remember the names of Yuan Fang and several of them, these names represent killing in cold blood in their hearts, and gradually become a terrifying existence, and the female soldiers of Nanping County are also implicated, and the people see that the female soldiers who enter the city to purchase are hiding far away, for fear of provoking them to be slaughtered.
Fortunately, on the fifth day of the crime, the figure of the female soldiers disappeared from the sight of the people, and some people saw that the female soldiers had left the camp and did not know where they went, but these did not attract the attention of the people. Chen Xing, as the county lieutenant of Nanping County, has been very depressed these days, very depressed, the female soldier left silently, did not say any hello to him, the county lieutenant, only left a letter in the camp, saying that he was sent by His Royal Highness the Third Prince to the front line in Dongzhou, which made Chen Xing extremely angry and helpless, he knew the affairs of the three princes, although not much, but he did not feel that his face was bigger than the face of the three princes, and his power was greater.
And that's not all, there was something that made Chen Xing even more annoyed, that is, he almost lost control of the state army under his command.
Here's the thing, on the fifth day after the Mai Qinghe bloodbath, Captain Hengjing, who was sent to the front line in Dongzhou, came back with the surviving recruits and the orders of the three princes, no, it should be called veterans, they are not very numerous, but Hengjing has excellent personnel in the local state army system, and he is a veteran captain, and the veterans who stayed behind are very convinced of him, which is nothing, and there is one more general and a helper.
It stands to reason that Chen Xing should be happy, but I don't know how, Heng Jingyang, who was obedient to his words before, disobeyed him, and then he went to Wangwu Mountain to arrest the murderer, but what about him, he always finds various reasons to delay time, and refuses to enter the mountain, influenced by him, the new lieutenant Deng Guangtian's subordinates also began to slack off, Deng Guangtian several bullet pressure was ineffective, and finally punished a few leading guys, but almost made a mutiny, scared Chen Xing into a cold sweat, and finally had to personally lead the team into the mountain to collect, but whenever he entered the mountain, Seeing the soldiers under his command frowning and looking weak, Chen Xing was worried for a while, and the result was that he had been busy for so many days in vain, and he had nothing to gain.
