Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 62 The Big Joke

In the dark of night, Nanshan Town, which had returned to tranquility with time, fell into hustle and bustle again this night.

There were nearly a thousand inspections in Nanshan Town. Except for the guards at the mine, the rest of the inspections were carried out overnight under Li Jinghong's order.

Teams of inspectors searched from house to house, and after the search, they stuffed vividly drawn arrest warrants into the hands of the sleepy-eyed people.

The generous rewards that most ordinary people may not be able to earn for a lifetime, coupled with the temptation of the family to be exempted from corvee for life, this night, the entire Nanshan Town seemed to be completely boiling.

And this boiling, under Li Jinghong's will, also spread rapidly towards the outside of Nanshan Town, and even the entire Qinghe County.

As a member of the inspection team in Qinghe County, Chu Mu was naturally moved by Li Jinghong's will.

Compared with the ordinary inspections in the past, to the present, the official performance of duties, leading a team of more than a dozen inspections, in this Nanshan Town, it can barely be regarded as somewhat powerful.

In this inspection station, there is a lot of calmness in his actions.

If it was before today, Chu Mu would definitely have to be happy.

But in just over half an hour, the impact on Chu Mu was obviously too great.

It took several months to barely establish a cognition of this world, but it was almost instantly shattered!
What kind of power or status, compared to the higher level of transcendence... seems to be insignificant.

This point can be clearly seen from Li Jinghong, who is a county lieutenant and the highest military rank in Qinghe County, Qianhu.

If it were a few ordinary rebels, would he have made such a big move?

A considerable part of it has even exceeded the scope of the county lieutenant's authority, and its meaning is extremely clear.

Chu Mu leaned against the corner of the wall with the long knife in his arms, staring blankly at the bloody sight in front of him.

The old man's body had already been disembowelled, and the patrol inspector was still watching Li Jinghong, biting the bullet and cutting up the old man's body non-stop.

Although it has been dead for a long time, the flowing blood is still bright. Along the cut open knife, the blood flowed down the wooden table, dyeing the wooden table red and eroding the ground.

In this dark dungeon, this scene is undoubtedly extremely dazzling and terrifying.

Chu Mu looked at it very seriously, from the beginning to the end, he didn't take his eyes off the slightest bit, as if he wanted to engrave all the details in his heart.

In fact, so is nature.

Li Jinghong wanted to dissect the old man's body, obviously unwilling to let go of any possibility.

I'm afraid the old man himself didn't expect that he would be dug out so long after his death and undergo such detailed...slicing and dissection...

Chu Mu watched silently. In comparison, he hoped that Li Jinghong could gain something from the old man's corpse.

Even if Li Jinghong's harvest has nothing to do with him, at least, Li Jinghong...is something he can get in touch with, not something beyond his cognition.

This different world version of the autopsy lasted for more than half an hour, and the old man's body had already been dismembered and dissected into pieces.

The thick smell of blood filled this not-so-spacious dungeon, mixed with the musty smell of the dungeon, it was disgusting enough.

"Put the corpses together and hang them on the archway in the north of the town."

"Wait until the corpse is finished, Wu Shuo, take someone to guard it."

Li Jinghong looked at the fragmented corpse indifferently, and after a while, he turned and left after leaving such a sentence.

"How long will it take to finish?"

After Li Jinghong left, Wu Shuo stepped forward to ask the assistant.

"Responding to my lord's words, it can be done in half an hour."

Wu Zuo quickly responded.

Wu Shuo frowned, and then signaled for the work to start quickly, without further words, walked to the side and sat down, like a statue, silent and silent.

Obviously, the matter of Fengyue Tower had a great impact not only on Chu Mu, but also on the rest of the inspections involved.

Chu Mu hesitated for a while, then walked to Wu Shuo's side, and asked with some hesitation:
"Chief Wu, what does Qianhu mean by... Nanshan Li's family?"

"do not know."

Wu Shuo let out a long breath, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, after I entered this inspection, the county magistrate and county lieutenant in our county are all surnamed Li."

"Many counties and county towns around us seem to be like this."

"Our current Qianhu came to work in our county six years ago. It is said that the previous Qianhu was his uncle. I don't know if it is true or not..."

Chu Mu frowned, but recalled the scene of Fengyue Tower again. He could see clearly that Li Jinghong was the first to attack after the resentful spirit appeared.

The result was a burst of crackling lightning, which directly shattered the resentful soul.

It was obvious that Li Jinghong had some kind of defense against mysterious attacks like wraiths.

In addition, when Li Jinghong faced the resentful soul, he still relied on the Li family in Nanshan.

This undoubtedly clearly shows that the Nanshan Li family that Li Jinghong is talking about must exist at another level.

The focus of such a family with a mysterious and extraordinary level must always be above the mysterious and extraordinary.

Secular, it should only be a side issue.

Let's look at Li Jinghong's greedy attitude toward the mysterious and extraordinary...

Li Jinghong, in the so-called Nanshan Li family, is obviously not taken seriously, and even belongs to an insignificant existence...

"So...the mundane...is controlled by a higher level of mystery and transcendence?"

Among the vague guesses, Chu Mu suddenly became enlightened.

If you look at it this way, everything that is unreasonable seems to be reasonable.

It doesn't matter if the production and transportation of the mine do not conform to common sense, as long as it conforms to the mysterious and extraordinary interests.

Wantonly oppressing the people at the bottom, treating human life like nothing, forcing people to rebel again and again, seems to be inconsistent with the order of secular rule, but as long as it is in line with the interests of the mysterious and extraordinary, who cares about mere human life?

Subconsciously, Chu Mu suddenly thought of the original owner's father, a thousand corvée and escort patrols, no one survived!

Moreover, according to the news he heard during this period, Qinghe County was not alone.

In the surrounding counties, the corvée conscripted by the county town and the patrol escorts seemed to have all gone... and never returned.

Is this... also in line with the interests of higher levels of mystery and transcendence?

Suddenly, Chu Mu's scalp felt a little numb. If everything is as he expected...

In this world...

Chu Mu raised his head, wanting to look at the night sky, but only the moldy roof came into view.

A world covered by a higher-level mysterious net, everything serves the higher-level mysterious and extraordinary service!
Chu Mu's face turned pale.

If this is the case, this patrol skin, this seemingly good position of power... is simply a big joke...
