Cultivation of Immortals: Begin with a Heart-warming Barrister

Chapter 435
Chapter 434
When hearing the words of Zhou county magistrate.

Both Pu Botao and Huo Chengji silently looked at each other.

Although the two are divided into two places.

It can also be used as a dedicated official.

Both of them have enough accumulation in the officialdom.

Naturally, one can know that the county magistrate is now ready to reveal the details this week.

So, hear that.

Both fell silent.

Just listen, Magistrate Zhou said:
"Now, Shi Defense has been taken into custody.

However, things need to be investigated first.

And the most important thing is the people of that village.

What happened.

So, for that.

We can't judge either.

This is our present difficulty. "

I heard that Magistrate Zhou is still going around here.

Pu Botao is obviously not ready to waste any more time.

Just listen to him say directly:
"Since it's not sure yet.

So why not investigate first.

Moreover, as far as the old man knows.

A case of the level of the Tongyao case.

The matter involves the monster race.

Even if you don't want to investigate yourself.

Then you can ask the Lawyers Association for help.

Just send an invitation to the court.

Could it be that Magistrate Zhou didn't know about this? "

Pu Botao's words can be said to be completely rude.

This sentence, translated directly, is.

If you want to investigate.

Then send your own people to investigate.

And the prisoner will not sit idly by.

In this kind of case, there will naturally be a suitable lawyer to defend him on his behalf.

Therefore, this case is under investigation by two parties, the open and the dark.

Naturally, it will become more and more clear.

And this is the easiest way for you.

Why, Magistrate Zhou, are you telling us that you can't even think of such a simple solution?

That is an insult to our IQ.

It's just that it's really hard to say this too bluntly.

That's why Pu Botao said it in this way.

And hear so.

The eyes of everyone present also lit up.

Afterwards, County Magistrate Zhou and County Cheng Wang glanced at each other.

The eyes of both of them are full of brilliance.

Obviously, this coincides with the previous arrangement of the two of them.

Hearing this, Magistrate Zhou made up his mind.

Then the magistrate Zhou said:
"Actually, as early as two days ago, we had already asked the court about this matter.

It is said that the imperial court will also arrange for suitable lawyers to come.

Moreover, we also know that Shi Xinrong is also looking for a suitable agent.

We estimated the time.

The lawyer appointed by the court.

It should come today.

Therefore, we arranged for the county police to pick him up in person.

But in fact, these things are all good.

Our problem now is that we don't know how to report this matter for the time being.

After all, the people of a village disappeared all at once.

It would be nice if they could come back.

But if they never come back. . . . "

Magistrate Zhou obviously didn't say anything about the latter words.

But that meaning is already very obvious.

This matter is indeed big or small.

This is indeed related to the black hats of everyone present here.

If it is really a village, the people are completely killed.

Then these people here want to get away.

Someone has to be able to take responsibility.

But now, it was obvious that Shi Xinrong was the best choice.

Hearing this, Huo Chengji and Pu Botao also looked at each other.

Then, Huo Chengji said:

"Since County Magistrate Zhou has made arrangements.

In fact, from the old man's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it.

For the current plan, it is indeed necessary to find someone first and thoroughly investigate.

What happened to the disappearance of this village?

And as for other things.

Indeed, only later on. "

I heard Huo Chengji being so perfunctory.

Wanxian Cheng was obviously a little unhappy.

Today they invited veteran officials from these two counties.

In fact, there are several purposes.

First, tell them the general case.

Avoid these people out there chasing rumors.

Although these dedicated officials have no errands in the court.

But they still have the right to play.

To put it bluntly, it's just rumors.

Now, the whole village is dead or just missing.

Not sure yet.

If the official who became an official made the matter public before the county magistrate.

Then everyone would be embarrassed.

Therefore, they must communicate with these two officials before that.

The second is to ask them for advice on how to follow up on this matter.

Since the case happened.

Then naturally it is an investigation.

However, who will investigate.

This is a bit complicated.

In fact, Magistrate Zhou and the others were quite worried.

If you just rely on these few catchers in your own county.

They really don't have much confidence.

And now, the case is still in their own hands.

It is not yet possible to say how many people were killed.

Naturally, the imperial court cannot be allowed to send people to investigate.

Then, naturally, you can only use your own people to investigate.

But since these people have limited abilities.

Then foreign aid is bound to be needed.

Therefore, they just said that there was a case of exorcism.

However, they didn't say anything about the specific things.

So, according to the rules of Qingsong Kingdom.

They wanted to find a serious lawyer for Shi Xinrong to protect his rights.

And this, of course, can use the ability of this lawyer.

Help them investigate what's going on now.

Actually, for them.

Now this feeling of not being able to get up or down is the most chaotic.

Therefore, calling Pu Botao and Huo Chengji was just to check for gaps and make up for gaps.

However, it seems that there is really no big problem with what they did.

Since Pu Botao has said this, it should be done.

Then it's right to deal with it this way.

But for the third point, they still want Pu Botao and Huo Chengji to help them come up with an idea today.

That's the number of people killed now, what should be said.

can face this problem.

Both Pu Botao and Huo Chengji avoided talking about it.

This is a bit unkind.

If you don't talk about this matter, it's not easy for us to speak in unison here.

Therefore, Wang Xiancheng also said:

"You two gentlemen, you are all senior officials.

Those of us may not be in the eyes of the seniors.

To be honest, this is the first time we have encountered such a thing.

Now, we really don't know how to report to Fuchu.

Really, these people, you said they were killed.

That's a dead body.

But you have to say that they have nothing to do.

But it is completely invisible.

This matter is really difficult.

So, the students implore the two gentlemen.

But you must give us a way.

How to tell Fuchu about this matter now.

If you are a little careless, it can't be said that it is a panic.

Also please the two gentlemen, for the sake of thousands of people, give us some advice. "

With these words, Wang Xiancheng's attitude was already very low.

But because of this, he can be considered to have made the problem clear.

Two old men, just talk about it.

How should we report this matter to the government now?

It's been a few days.

If you procrastinate any longer, if things get serious.

It's really a monster attack or something.

If we don't report this kind of knowledge, will it lead to catastrophe?

And if we report it now, what should we say?

It means that more than 300 people have been killed.

Then, everyone panicked because of the Yaozu.

Or we don't say how many people, just wait for further confirmation of the news.

This matter, although it seems simple.

But this is what tests the ability of officials the most.

If one is not handled well, the future will be worrying.

Sure enough, I heard this.

Both Huo Chengji and Pu Botao were a little embarrassed.

Both of them quickly picked up the teacups in their hands to cover up.

In fact, Pu Botao was also scolding his mother in his heart.

They came here today because they just wanted to see the general situation of this hot case recently.

seriously.

Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with them at all.

Can be used as a dedicated official.

Caring about government affairs and local governance is a form of cultivating prestige.

Nor did they expect it.

When I came here today, the county magistrate Zhou just threw such a big pot over.

If they gave their advice now.

So in this matter, more or less there is indeed something about the two of them.

If more than 300 people were killed.

But in the end it turned out that there was none at all.

Then they need to take responsibility.

That's going to cause panic.

But if you don't say that someone was killed.

So how can the Yaozu take action again?

At that time, who else can take the blame.

So, the two quickly demonstrated it.

Then, Huo Chengji, the oldest person, said:
"Magistrate Zhou, since the matter has not been investigated clearly yet.

So it's too early to say these things.

Now that the lawyer is on the way.

Well, we might as well wait.

Let the lawyers and our police officers investigate together.

Let's not talk about investigating things clearly.

At least, a village can also look for it. "

Hearing this, Magistrate Zhou's expression darkened obviously.

I already had bad thoughts in my mind.

Sure enough, I heard Huo Chengji say:

"Wait until they find out something.

Let's see how to report. "

Sure enough, Magistrate Zhou guessed right.

The old man really had an idea.

That is procrastination.

That's right, dragging.

However, this old man is very bad.

He also comforted Magistrate Zhou.

Things are not clear now.

Talk nonsense.

Of course, let the so-called lawyers and police officers investigate and investigate first.

It may not be easy to detect the original appearance of the case.

But if you just look for the missing village.

Then it shouldn't be difficult.

Although this is a relatively safe method.

But now it's a case involving the Yaozu.

If so perfunctory.

Then, at that time, I and others will have to bear the charge of dereliction of duty.

But here goes.

Several people also know.

This time I brought these two people here, it can only be said to report the situation.

At least, with this exchange, these two old fellows should stop talking nonsense.

To some extent, this is also a kind of gain.

Since you can't get what you want.

After a while, County Magistrate Zhou brought tea to see off the guests.

County magistrate Zhou still respectfully sent the two out of the county office.

Although I didn't get what I wanted.

But the necessary courtesy is still there.

Seeing Magistrate Zhou being so enthusiastic.

Pu Botao felt a little embarrassed.

However, he said:
"Magistrate Zhou, please stop.

Thank you today, then I will leave with Mr. Huo first.

If you have something to do in the future, call us again. "

Several people reluctantly bid farewell, but they were extremely polite.

And Huo Chengji got into his carriage.

The carriage had just started for a while.

It stopped suddenly.

Indeed, Pu Botao got off his carriage.

He stopped Huo Chengji's carriage.

He was not polite at the moment, and sat in directly.

"Huo Lao, excuse me.

Actually, you probably didn't tell the truth just now.

Mr. Huo, I remember that you should have handled similar cases before.

Didn't you solve the Chongzhou Nightmare Curse case with your own hands?

Why are you not talking about sex today? "

Pu Botao didn't write any ink, and he directly said the most important thing when he came up.

I heard that Pu Botao even mentioned his own case back then.

Huo Chengji's cloudy eyes also seemed to have a little more brilliance all of a sudden.

So he said:
"Actually, it's not that the old man is hiding something.

But just now, the people in there, the old man really can't trust too much. "

"how do I say this?"

"You also know that when the old man became an official, it was because of the Chongzhou Nightmare Curse case.

In this case, the local officials were colluding.

The case was dragged on and on.

In the end, although the case was solved.

But no one was caught. "

Hearing what Huo Chengji said, Pu Botao became interested for a while.

It was really the case back then, although he had heard about it.

But because things involve weirdness.

Therefore, the details were not disclosed.

"Then, is this case also a case of ordinary demon clans?"

I heard Pu Botao ask this question.

Huo Chengji showed a troubled expression on his face.

Then he said:
"Actually, there was something just now that I didn't say.

If this is the case, it is really the monsters who cannibalize people.

Then it's a good thing.

What I'm most afraid of right now is. . . . "

I heard Huo Chengji say that cannibalism is actually a good thing.

Pu Botao was also surprised.

This somewhat exceeded his cognition.

"Is there anything worse than cannibalism?"

Hearing this, Huo Chengji's eyes darkened and he said:
"The Chongzhou Nightmare Curse Case back then was actually a group of lunatics from the monster race and the demon race.

What to say to restore grace.

Therefore, they are actually using extremely cruel methods to keep finding victims.

Also, what they did was not too covert.

Their purpose turned out to be a sacrifice. "

Hearing this, Pu Botao was also shocked.

His beard trembled.

Said:

"what's the situation.

Sacrifice the human race, what else can they get.

It is simply nonsense. "

Hearing this, Huo Chengji smiled wryly and shook his head, saying:
"But you can't stand it, people believe it.

Therefore, people dare to play like this.

But this time, no matter how I look at it, I can reveal that it is weird.

I see, if they don't rush to report.

Undoubtedly, something big is going to happen here. "

Hearing what Huo Chengji said so confidently, Pu Botao frowned tightly.

asked:

"Sacrifice, who are they offering sacrifices to?

Or, they want to shout what can. "

Hearing this, Huo Chengji sighed and said:

"There are too many specific things, and I can't say too much.

However, the group of lunatics I was in contact with at the time.

Then the gods to be called.

It is said to be an ancient demon god.

And his name is Jiu Ri. "

"Nine days?"

"Nine days!"
