Chapter 56: County Magistrate Zhang Is Panicking
Translator: 549690339
Not only was he panicking, but he was also feeling fear.
“He should be looking for me. Why didn’t he come looking for me?”
The oil lamp flickered in the room. County Magistrate Zhang’s voice was filled with confusion and confusion. He could not understand.
Lin Fu was dead, but he still knew nothing about the account book. The box of the bodyguard agency was empty. Someone had stolen the account book before this, so it must be the mysterious person who had sent him the news.
Not only did this person get the account book, but he also wanted to send him a message to prevent himself from being tricked by Lin Fu.
The result was obvious. This person probably had a favor to ask of him or wanted to grab hold of his weakness so that he could use his power to make things convenient.
At the very least, he could use his own hands to kill Lin Fu.
Other than these, County Magistrate Zhang really couldn’t figure out what else was possible.
However, it was already night time, and the surroundings were still silent. No one came to look for him. “Does he not Imow what happened today?”
“No, it’s absolutely impossible.”
“Since this mysterious person has set his sights on me, he must be closely observing the changes around him.”
“But why didn’t he come to me?”
Staring at the oil lamp in front of him, County Magistrate Zhang felt his head spinning as if he had fallen into a dead end.
The night was very long, but if one’s heart was thinking, the night would be very short.
County Magistrate Zhang did not sleep for the entire night.
He could not sleep. As long as the matter was not resolved, he could not sleep peacefully.
The mysterious person had become a sore spot in his heart. Now, every time he thought about it, he felt a splitting headache.
“Lord Zhang, did you not sleep the whole night?”The advisor woke up early and arrived at the county office. He saw Magistrate Zhang sitting on the chair weakly with a haggard face.
Usually, this lord was glowing with glory, but why did he seem to have aged a few years today?
County Magistrate Zhang did not answer. He leaned back on the chair and rested his head weakly on it, his eyes lifeless.
Seeing this, the advisor did not ask any more questions. He thought to himself that everyone had a difficult problem to solve, so he should hurry up and do his own thing.
“Why didn’t he come? Could it be that he was still harboring some schemes?”
“The enemy is in the dark, while I am in the light. I don’t even know his identity.”
“If this person doesn’t give himself away, how can I find him?”
Many thoughts ran through County Magistrate Zhang’s mind. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. In the end, he came to a conclusion.
There was no other way.
Anything could leave a trace, but if this person didn’t come looking for him and didn’t do anything, he really wouldn’t be able to find him.
“Let’s wait a little longer.” County Magistrate Zhang thought.
Time waited for no one. No matter what changes happened in the world, time would always move forward. It would not retreat or stop.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Over the past few days, County Magistrate Zhang had been tortured by the distracting thoughts in his heart.
As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything wrong on weekdays, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Once a person with a guilty conscience felt that their matter had been exposed, it would be the greatest torture.
“Ahhhh! I’m going crazy. Are you coming or not?”
In the study, County Magistrate Zhang threw all the ink, paper, and inkstone on the table to the ground and overturned the table.
He punched the ground with both fists. His eyes were red, his hair was disheveled, and a crazy aura flowed around his body.
Five days!
Five whole days!
It was as if nothing had happened during these five days. It was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
County Magistrate Zhang knew very well that this was just the calm before the storm. The calmer it was, the bigger the storm would be.
Country Magistrate Zhang didn’t know how big the storm was. but he felt like he was a dangerous building that could be destroyed at any time.
The torture was like a bone-corroding wind, making him increasingly haggard and constantly ravaging him.
A knife hanging over one’s head was the most terrifying thing because one did not know when it would fall.
“Don’t let me catch you… If I catch you, I’ll make you suffer all kinds of punishments in prison!”
County Magistrate Zhang sat on the ground, looking at the mess in the house. The torment in his heart did not lessen, but instead deepened.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” County Magistrate Zhang was shocked. He got up from the ground and questioned sternly.
“Sir, there’s… Someone is coming to find you
Outside the door, the advisor’s voice trembled slightly.
“Someone is looking for me?” County Magistrate Zhang was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed.
After such a long time, the mysterious man finally couldn’t take it anymore!
I knew it!
This guy was torturing me, and now he has lost his patience. I won!
It’s finally my turn!
County Magistrate Zhang looked at his disheveled clothes and tried his best to calm himself down. He took a deep breath and said, ” Let him wait. I’ll go and find him after I pack up.””
Haha.
You made me wait for so long in vain. Now it’s my turn.
With this thought in mind, County Magistrate Zhang decided to clean up.
However, before he could do anything, he heard another voice coming from outside the door.
“Sir, you should hurry up. Yes… The Dao token is here.”
The advisor’s voice was trembling. He was obviously very afraid.
“Dao…Dao Token?” County Magistrate Zhang sat on the ground, his face blank.
The Great Chu Country had a total of four major categories of places-Jingzhou
Prefecture Road.
And below the road is the county.
The so-called Dao Order was in charge of a Dao Domain, and there were countless counties under it.
Rusheng County was one of the counties under the jurisdiction of Jingyun Dao. At this moment, Li Daoling was sitting in the hall with an account book in his hand.
There was no need to flip through it, because he had already flipped through it countless times on the way.
This account book was jointly submitted by the competent disciples of the
Qingyun Academy and the Titanium Temple. Even Li Daoling could not be rash.
On one side was the Green Cloud Academy, which continuously provided scholars to Great Chu.
On the other side, the Titanium Temple was one of the ten great temples in Great Chu.
With the combined efforts of these two parties and the conclusive evidence, Li Daoling had already sentenced County Magistrate Zhang to death in his heart.
When he came to Sheng County, he had already learned about the history of each sum of money from the bank.
When it came to money, County Magistrate Zhang was very careful. He thought that every sum of money was done flawlessly.
Of course, that was what he thought.
If he hadn’t found out about any serious bribery in his jurisdiction, he would have been fine. Now that he had found out, he would definitely be punished.
As a Daoist order, if there was a similar situation involving the beheading of an official of the imperial court, he could send a pigeon straight to the capital. Before he came, he first sent a message.
The capital replied that if the matter was true, he would be executed immediately.
Li Daoling felt that County Magistrate Zhang’s days were over.
With this thought in mind, the unkempt County Magistrate Zhang was pushed in. Two Rank-8 martial artists were holding County Magistrate Zhang.
“Zhang Yi, you are guilty!”
In the hall, Li Daoling slammed the table.
County Magistrate Zhang tried hard to raise his head. This scene seemed familiar.
He already understood why that mysterious person did not appear.. It was because…The other party wanted to kill them all!
