Chapter 124: Return to Hongcun Village! (4 updates for flowers)

  Chasing Red Village! (4 more seeking flowers)

  Finally, Wu Zhengxie made Zhao Guanghua stretch out his hand. Under Zhao's puzzled gaze, Wu Zhengxie grasped his hand and whispered a few spells. "It's done. I've given you three days' advance warning of the calamity that was to befall you. Now, you must donate all 5.86 billion yuan within twelve hours, not one cent less. Of course, the specific implementation still needs your personal supervision, Mayor Zhao. You know the consequences, and Master Wu doesn't want to mention it again."

  "I understand, Zhao thanked the master for his kindness and teachings, and he will definitely remember them in his heart."

  "Hmm, as for the matter of the Fujiang hole, you can look for Guo Shouzheng. With his abilities, he should be able to help you. As for the reward for this time when I, the great master, take action to capture the little Japanese evil cultivator, it naturally cannot be lessened either. You all discuss and handle it yourselves, and finally just hand over the reward money to Xiaojing."

  "Master, is it necessary for the government to dispatch armed police to escort?"

  Zhao Guanghua looked at Wu Zhengxie, he knew that Wu Zhengxie was formidable, and the question now was just a formality.

  Of course, Wu Zhengxie wouldn't think that much, he just waved his hand and said lightly, "Don't bother, your armed forces can't get in there, unless you directly use missiles to bomb it, otherwise however many troops you send in will die inside."

  "Th...!" Zhao Guanghua gasped in shock, "Master, you mean to say......"

  "One of you masters can go in alone, just find an ordinary car to send me on my way."

  "Everything but listen to the master's orders." Zhao Guanghua had a very low posture, basically Wu Zhengye said one and he wouldn't say two, and this attitude also made Wu Zhengye quite satisfied.

  He stood up, Wu Zhengye pushed the door and went out. Under the gaze of many police officers at the South City Police Station, Wu Zhengye waved his hand to Yan Jing, "Xiao Jing, I'm leaving. I'll be back in three to five days at most. Arrange your charity organization well during these few days."

  "Okay, I'll go with you."

  Wu Zhengye was taken aback for a moment, then slightly furrowed his brow. "You can't go to that place, even I'm not sure if I can make it out alive. If I bring you along...I fear I won't be able to guarantee your safety."

  Yan Jing's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she smiled lightly. "You're helping our police department with the case, so naturally we'll arrange for someone to follow you," she said. When Wu Zhengye's eyebrows furrowed, Yan Jing couldn't help but continue, "Of course, we'll only go with you to the ancient tomb. If you enter the tomb, we won't follow and burden you."

  Wu Zhengxie suddenly smiled and nodded his head, "So that's how it is. Well, I'm glad to have someone to talk to on this journey. You're welcome to follow me if you'd like."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Jing turned around and called out, "Now we're preparing to investigate the several unsolved cases from recent times. Who among you is willing to go?"

  "I'm willing to go." The first one to speak up was that 'Legalist' Comrade Wang Hao.

  He had long wanted to come up and chat with Wu Zhengye, but what made him helpless was that there were always big shots in Wu Zhengye's house, Chen Ju, Mayor Zhao, these gods were beyond his reach. Now that Wu Zhengye has come out, Yan Jing has also joined in.

  Yan Jing and Wu Zhengye's relationship had already spread throughout the entire police system. Seeing them standing together, many male police officers could only feel envious, jealous, and resentful, and no one dared to come forward to join in on the fun.

  At this moment, the stern voice that came out of his mouth suddenly made them lively. Although most police officers were jealous and resentful of Wu Zhengxie, they also privately inquired about what he did. Fortune-telling, Feng Shui, and Kan Yu are not unfamiliar terms in the police system, and most of the time, they are the objects of capture.

  But Wu Zhengxie is different, haven't you seen Mayor Zhao and Director Chen following him around all day?

  True talent and solid learning.

  Not bad, these four words are enough to wash the two words "cheat" into "legitimate", once legitimate, interest in this thing will be greatly enhanced, especially for one's own unknown and mysterious future, who would not be extremely curious.

  At this moment, opportunity is right in front of us, who will still be proud?

  "Yan Jie, I'm going too. These cases have always been ones that I've assisted you with, you can't leave me behind."

  The speaker was Wu Zhengyi, who recognized the man as Wang Cheng, the one who had originally pursued him.

  "I'm going too." Next to Wang Cheng, Little Liu also spoke up, "Yan Jie, you know me, usually Wang Cheng and I are partners."

  "Yan Jie, I want to go too..."

  "I'm going too."

  "I also want......"

  The entire police station had dozens of police officers clamoring to go, even the little beauty who managed the document room, He Fang, raised her hands, "Shen Jie, I...I also want to go."

  Seeing this overwhelming response, Yan Jing's heart was also quite pleased, but he couldn't possibly take all these people away. Firstly, the police station still needed to operate, and secondly, this case was just a mere formality, just going through the motions.

  It just so happened that Yan Jing chose five people to follow, and these five people were almost all familiar with Wu Zhengye. They were Wang Cheng, Wang Hao, Liu Yun, Zhang Qinglun, and Yang Dong. These five men had seen Wu Zhengye's skills in the snowy terrain last time, and choosing them could also minimize rumors and gossip.

  The five people who were quietly called out were all excited, with Yang Dong being the most enthusiastic. He immediately ran out to bring over the bread police car, and then several people got on the bread truck and rushed to the big mountain east of H City.

  A journey of over 120 miles is not far, if it were a highway, it would take just over an hour to arrive, but unfortunately, where is the highway?

  The first 30 kilometers were okay, it was National Highway 236. The next 50 kilometers after that were rural dirt roads, and the 50-kilometer drive took a full two and a half hours.

  There are still forty kilometers, and there is no highway at all.

  Helpless, Yan Jing and seven others had no choice but to get off the bus and walk, taking more than four hours to complete this section of mountain road.

  "We're finally here." Wang Hao plopped his butt down on the mountaintop and let out a loud whoop, they had spent almost the entire day rushing along, several big men were all panting with exhaustion, in contrast Yan Jing and Wu Zheng Ye were also tired, but compared to Wang Hao and the other five big men, they were much better off.

  "Yan sister, there's a village down the mountain. Shouldn't we eat something before heading out?" Wang Cheng said, pointing to a cluster of flat houses below the mountain. From morning till now, their group of seven hadn't eaten anything. Originally, Wu Zhengye had said it was only over 120 miles away, but who knew this 120 miles would be like this?

  "Yan Jie, I feel like we've taken the wrong road..." Driver Yang Dong sighed incessantly, pointing to the winding path leading to the distance in front of the village, "That small path should have been built recently in response to the 'Village-to-Village Highway' policy. We...have wasted a whole day's journey."

  Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Zhengyi with a mixture of disappointment and resentment. He also couldn't help but scratch his head, "This... actually I don't know either. This time we rushed out, only focusing on heading east to find our target, didn't even look at the map. Sorry, really sorry."

  Yan Jing heard the words, and immediately turned cold, scanning the crowd with a stern face. "Alright, take a look at yourselves, you big men, what kind of state are you in after this journey? Your physical quality still needs to be strengthened through tempering. Let's go, head down the mountain to eat."

  "Oh." The five big men nodded, but in their hearts they were secretly grumbling. "Sister Yan, you're having a great time chatting with Master Wu, but we five big men are exhausted from walking this whole way. In the distance there's a mountain, and nearby there's still a mountain. We can't even see a little sister singing a mountain song, just us five big men staring at each other...and to make matters worse, we're out of food and energy. It's already impressive that we've made it this far.

  At the foot of the mountain, there is a small village that can be said to be the most remote in H city. The environment here is elegant and free from urban pollution. The green trees, clear streams, and lush mountains make people feel as if they have entered a paradise on earth. Birds chirp and fly back and forth in front of Wu Zhengyi and his six companions, chattering excitedly and curiously.

  As they arrived at the entrance of the village, Wu Zhengyi and his seven companions looked up to see that above the entrance, in ancient seal script, were written two large characters: 'Shu Hong'.

  Xu Hong Village

  Seven people entered the village of Sui Hong, and most of the tile-roofed houses they passed by were surrounded by smoke and fire, apparently preparing dinner.

  It's just that it feels a bit unnatural, the people in this village seem to be very introverted. Wu Zhengye and his group of seven have been walking around the village for so long, they've seen over ten people, but not one has come forward to greet them. When Wu Zhengye and his group try to initiate a greeting, no one responds.

  "This village feels kind of strange, doesn't it?"

  As the sky was getting darker, Yan couldn't help but lean in closer to Wu Zhengyi and said in a low voice.

  "It's a bit strange," Wu Zhengxie nodded slightly, "This village has a small population of only 40 or 50 people. The large mansion in the center should be where their leader lives. We'll understand what's wrong soon."

  Having said that, Wu Zhengyi quickened his pace...

  "Sir, what's your surname? We're a few police officers from H City, we've been tracking some murderers and arrived here. Now we're also hungry, I wonder if you could do us a favor?"

  "The clan leader is over there."

  "Grandpa, we are good people, we will pay for eating your things."

  "Go find the clan leader."

  "Then let me ask, doesn't this Hongcun Village have any restaurants or anything?"

  "The clan leader knows."

  "Damn it!" Wu Zhengxie finally got angry.

  "You're also too ignorant of courtesy, aren't you? Ben Da..." Wu Zhengxie's words were left unspoken, and his expression changed in an instant.
