I’m Being Held Captive by Demons Chapter 125: Evil
Zhang Rong was very happy to see Kong Ning.
That kind of joy is clearly a kind of feeling that I meet someone in a foreign land and I can't wait to vent.
It's just that this Hejian Mansion is Zhang Rong's hometown. Shouldn't he be happy when he returns to his hometown?
It seems that this former boss was not happy after returning to Hejian Mansion?
Kong Ning thought about it.
And Zhang Rong had already greeted several other arresters and told them to go first, then dragged Kong Ning away.
As for the two corpses on the ground, almost no one paid any attention to them, except for one of the arresters who stayed behind to guard them.
Zhang Rong asked curiously as he walked.
"Why did you come to Hejian Mansion? Did Master Liu send you on business?"
"Also, who is the girl doll on your back? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Zhang Rong asked curiously.
Kong Ning smiled and said, "This is my apprentice, Xu Caiwei... Caiwei, say hello to Uncle Zhang."
The little girl timidly called out, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Rong smiled suddenly, nodded and said, "Okay, okay... This little girl is quite cute. But your apprentice? When did you accept an apprentice? You also accepted a female doll, wouldn't you be? Do you want to pass on your family's martial arts to her?"
"Also, what about your daughter-in-law? Su Yan is such a beautiful new daughter-in-law, you won't let her stay alone in the vacant room, will you? You have to travel so far alone and stay in Hejian Mansion for a long time? Leave your new daughter-in-law in the At home? You are also big-hearted..."
"Why not take her with me?"
"But it's better if you don't bring it, it's not a good place outside, which can compare to the safety of Shanlan County..."
Zhang Rong rambled on and took Kong Ning into a tea shop on the side of the road.
In the lobby on the first floor, there are some tea drinkers sitting here and there. But like on the street outside, these tea drinkers were equally silent, whispering at most, while most were drinking tea in silence and not saying a word.
The entire lobby of the tea shop is filled with a sense of oppression.
The few Dr. Teas who were leaning against the wall all looked helpless. They didn't shuttle between the tables and chairs, but glanced around coldly, wondering what they were thinking about.
Only a storyteller sat on the stage, telling aloud the story of a martial arts practitioner who went up the mountain to meet evil spirits.
But the voice fell in the silent tea shop lobby, but it was inexplicably empty and strange.
It seems that there is only this storyteller left in the entire teahouse.
Zhang Rong walked into the tea shop with Kong Ning, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "Master Zhang came so early today..."
But even if the shopkeeper warmly welcomed the guests, his voice was lowered a few degrees, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise at all.
Such a strange situation made Kong Ning frown slightly.
The residents of the Hejian Mansion are full of evil spirits.
On the official road outside the city, the people coming and going were all silent and afraid to talk.
People walking on the streets of the city, even when watching the excitement, no one pointed and talked. They all kept their mouths shut and watched everything.
Nowadays, even a place like a teahouse, which should be supposed to be noisy and noisy, is so eerily quiet... These people come to the teahouse to drink tea, and they don't shout or talk loudly. It's just not right.
But Zhang Rong is used to it.
His voice, also not loud, said to the shopkeeper: "Set up a private room for me."
So under the personal guidance of the shopkeeper, Kong Ning and Zhang Rong went up to the second floor and entered a private room facing the street.
Above the second floor, quieter. The entire second floor was filled with individually closed private rooms. After Kong Ning and Zhang Rong entered the private room, they ordered a pot of tea, two plates of cakes, and a plate of cold dishes. Send the shopkeeper out.
Kong Ning asked after watching the shopkeeper leave.
"Zhang Tou, this Hejian Mansion, why is there an evil spirit everywhere..."
Kong Ning asked straight to the point.
Zhang Rong sighed when he heard it, and said, "The evil nature is right... Now the world is really messed up to the extreme."
"A few years ago, I lived in Shanlan County for a long time. Occasionally, I didn't stay too long. I only reunited with my family. Although I noticed something weird, I didn't care too much."
"But after I came back and lived for a long time, I realized that the outside world has become the ghost it is now."
"Sixteen years ago, when I followed Mr. Liu to Shanlan to take office, the Hejian Mansion was still prosperous and lively, living and working in peace and contentment, and there were not many murders throughout the year."
"But today's Hejian Mansion seems to be haunted, killing people everywhere and every three days."
"The people in the city are also like powder kegs, just a little bit. The trivial things can lead to killing people with knives. Blood is often splattered on the streets, or the whole family is wiped out."
"Every month the people who are brought back to the yamen and sentenced to death can fill up the cells in Shanlan County."
"There are also those martial arts people who are high and high, who are rampant everywhere, killing villagers, humiliating women, and bringing disaster to one side. The official documents issued by the yamen for sea arrests can hardly be posted on the notice board."
"But it's useless. Those people in the martial arts are still messing around without restraint."
"In order to suppress those robbers from Jiangyang and Yangzhou, the yamen issued another reward, attracting a group of people who are greedy for money to hunt down the criminals with the reward."
"Those guys carry big knives and long spears every day, roaring with one party, swaggering around the city, gathering crowds to fight, and from time to time they will make a few murders for you."
"It's **** disgusting!"
As soon as Zhang Rong opened his mouth, he couldn't help but pour out bitterness and ramble about the yamen's hard work and the sinister chaos of the world.
The more Kong Ning listened, the more frowned he became.
Because from what Zhang Rong said, the outside world is like a purgatory on earth.
Everyone lives with fear and fear, and at any time, unexpected disasters may fall from the sky.
Maybe it's just because I looked at my neighbor twice, that the other party held a grudge and came into the house in the middle of the night to kill you all over the place.
Or if you were walking on the road, someone in the martial arts who passed by didn't like it, and he was slashed to death with a knife...
"This world is so sinister, does the government leave it alone?" Kong Ning asked with a frown.
The chaos in the Hejian Mansion ~IndoMTL.com~ is worse than he imagined.
Originally, he was worried that the demons and ghosts in the city would wantonly kill and cultivate blood, and turn the world into a purgatory on earth.
But now the demons and ghosts haven't blatantly killed people everywhere, the mortals are in chaos first.
This is really...
Kong Ning frowned.
Zhang Rong sighed and said, "The government also wants to manage... but how?"
"Today's world is so chaotic. From the martial arts masters to the mortals in the market, all of them are violent and kill with a knife at every turn."
"Everyone is living a life of being drunk and drunk, with no regard for anything else."
"The yamen basically does not impose punishments other than the death penalty. Most criminals are immediately executed when they are caught."
"It has been considered a heavy code, but it can't stop people from wanting to die."
