Chapter 113 Panic Spreads
"Brother Tang, have you heard that? A man in the city was killed last night."
"Is it the one who was dug up in his heart? Alas, I know this!"
"It turns out that Brother Tang had known it, that's right. Brother Tang, you have someone in the yamen. It's my brother who is here to show his ugly face."
"Brother Wang is so serious. My wife's brother is only a little yamen official. But I really heard from my wife's brother about what you said. It is said that a little clue has been found. It seems that the person who is digging his heart is using a sharp sword, and his technique is very clever. He digs out his heart with one sword!"
"So it was made by a swordsman, and I thought it was a monster?"
"What monster? Brother Wang is joking. Where does the monster come from in this world?"
"Brother Tang said it, but why did this swordsman get his heart out? Is there any grudge against the deceased?"
...
Ye Xuan sat on the second floor of a restaurant, listening to the conversations of the guests around him while eating dishes. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, what just happened in the morning can be heard in the restaurant now, and it is not just a person talking about it. At least Ye Xuan heard it with his internal strength. There were three people on the upper floor talking about the heart-digging thing in the morning.
Didn’t it mean that all information in ancient times could be sluggish? Why did this incident of someone being killed and heartbroken all over the streets just in the morning?
Is it because the world is different, or are the guys in the yamen who are too unreasonable and just leak the news.
However, Ye Xuan soon heard the reason. It turned out that the county magistrate and county magistrate of Jiangdu City were transferred, and two people were transferred at once. Now the entire Jiangdu City, the people from the Supervisor's Office, are guarding and exercising the responsibilities of the yamen.
It is no wonder that the news spread so quickly when a group of war-stricken warriors are used to manage a county town.
However, Ye Xuan was speechless. When the Hong Dynasty officials were too casual, they just threw away the burden, and they didn't look reasonable no matter how they looked.
Is it certain that it was not the director or screenwriter who let all the officials in Jiangdu City run away to save trouble, leaving only the Supervisor's Office to guard it?
Anyway, Ye Xuan felt that this world seemed to have brought him a destructive attack.
Of course, this matter had nothing to do with him. He curled his lips and Ye Xuan continued to eat while listening to what was outside.
Three more days passed. When Ye Xuan woke up that morning, he suddenly heard the inn guy talking about the heart-digging swordsman again.
"Woman, what's going on? People are dead in the city again?" Ye Xuan asked the waiter next to him and asked directly.
Because Ye Xuan is a big dog in the inn, he not only booked a room in the inn for two months, but also often rewarded him. When the waiter saw Ye Xuan more friendly than seeing his father, he hurried over and said, "Yes, young master, I heard that people died again last night, and there were still two, all of them were poached, and the news spread all over the world. Now the people in Jiangdu City are in panic!"
"Are there two this time?" Ye Xuan blinked his eyes when he heard the waiter's words, and then asked, "By the way, two people died. Didn't anyone see who was committing the murder?"
"Who knows this? No one seems to have seen it. The young man heard that the two who died this time seemed to go out to do business at night, but ended up dying outside. If you stay, you shouldn't go out tonight." The waiter said.
"Okay, thank you, brother!" Ye Xuan smiled slightly, took out another piece of silver and threw it to the waiter, and said, "Old rule, help me prepare a breakfast and give you the rest."
"Okay, thank you, young master, thank you!" The waiter happily took the piece of silver, and his mouth was almost cracked behind his ears.
There is no way. Although Ye Xuan had only been in the inn for less than ten days, he had received a reward of nearly ten taels at this time, which was equivalent to his salary of four or five months. How could he be unhappy? (A flop writer expressed his envy, jealousy and hatred. Why didn’t I meet such a reward boss!)
Seeing the waiter leaving with excitement, Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, then went outside the inn to find a table to sit down.
Sure enough, as the waiter said, although the two people who died were discovered in the early morning this morning, it only took not long and the entire Jiangdu City has spread all over the city.
The same injuries and the same techniques can be seen from this that the last time the murderer who took action to kill someone was not accidental, but purposeful.
If it is just an ordinary murder, it will naturally have no impact on the common people. At most, it will only add some topics of conversation after tea breaks. Everyone should do whatever they should do. Anyway, ordinary people will not have any deep grudges with the murderer.
However, the two murders that happened in the early morning of last night, the two who died were like the one who died three days ago, were dug up by a sword, which proves that the murders three days ago were not accidental, but were likely to be a swordsman who came to Jiangdu City who was dedicated to digging his heart, and this swordsman was specifically attacking ordinary people.
If it was a revenge by the people of the Jianghu, it naturally had nothing to do with the people. However, this time the murderer was specifically targeted by ordinary people, so how could he not let ordinary people panic? In addition, the county government has been taken over by the group of people in the Supervisor of the Guard Office, and these people don’t know how to keep it confidential. The news spread throughout Jiangdu not long after.
Sitting by the window, Ye Xuan could see that compared to a few days ago, there seemed to be fewer people walking on the street, and even if there were, many people were in a hurry, as if there was a dark cloud above everyone's head.
In addition, he also found that there seemed to be more Wang family troops on the streets and the number of inspections was more frequent. Ye Xuan had noticed that the Wang family troops had patrol videos of the streets in about one hour, but now it has become half an hour. Even in the city, these people were wearing armor, wearing spears, shields and crossbows, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
However, Ye Xuan knew that this was useless because their opponent was not ordinary people, or even humans, but a monster that could be invisible. Even if the monster really killed people in front of them, just because of these ordinary people, let alone stopping them, it is still a question whether they can see it.
Sure enough, two days later, a murder occurred in Jiangdu City. It was also a sword to dig the heart, and this time it was even worse. There were three people in total, and two of them died in the same room.
In other words, the murderer is no longer limited to outdoor murder!
