Luo Zheng interrogated other people in the county government office, and everyone blamed the crime on the coroner who committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
He was not in a hurry and started to thoroughly investigate other cases in the county government using the excuse that the county magistrate had neglected his duties.
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, but Luo Zheng had not found much progress, which made many people secretly relieved.
Even King Zhou began to doubt Luo Zheng's ability.
He asked Jia Rui, "Luo Zheng has been investigating for so long, but there's still no progress. Sir, do you think he's a loser, or is he just putting on an act?"
Jia Rui laughed sarcastically, "The prince has already cleaned up all traces. Unless Luo Zheng can fabricate something out of nothing, he won't be able to find out anything no matter how capable he is.
What's more, every day someone comes to him to complain about injustice. With so many cases added up, it's simply a mess. How can he have the energy to investigate the prince?"
He had barely finished speaking when someone outside hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, Luo Zheng's men have discovered corpses on the mountain!"
Jia Rui's face froze and his expression became a little ugly.
He had just said that Luo Zheng couldn't find out anything, but Luo Zheng's people discovered the corpses on the mountain, which was a slap in his face!
He looked at King Zhou and saw that his expression was not looking good either. He quickly said, "Your Highness, it seems that Luo Zheng was well prepared and deliberately played a trick of pretending to repair the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang!"
Although King Zhou's face was not looking good, he was not anxious. "It doesn't matter. Even if he found the bones in the mountains, he wouldn't be able to find anything. There are many wild animals in the mountains. I want to see how many bones he can find!"
Luo Zheng's actions this time exceeded many people's expectations.
Upon learning that human bones had been found in the mountains and that tigers, leopards, bears, snakes, and jackals were lurking there, Luo Zheng, acting as an imperial envoy, mobilized the local garrison and summoned local hunters and young men to go into the mountains to hunt in the name of eliminating the tigers and wolves and protecting the local people.
This move immediately caused the King of Zhou to feel uneasy.
He has hidden a group of private soldiers in the mountains, and these people must not be discovered by Luo Zheng!
The King of Zhou sent someone to deliver the message while ordering people to take action.
Luo Zheng gathered too many teams this time, so his men could easily sneak in and take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
As a result, the team assembled by Luo Zheng was soon attacked by poisonous snakes and wild beasts, and many people in the team were injured.
Then some people were unwilling to go deeper into the mountains and forests and clamored to go back.
As more and more people were injured, more and more people started shouting.
Especially when the condition of those who were poisoned by the snake became worse, the voices of opposition from the public became louder and louder.
Luo Zheng had no choice but to let everyone evacuate first and go back to treat their injuries.
Only then did King Zhou secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
After these people withdrew, the people in the mountains had time to clean up their traces and move away as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, that evening, a man covered in wounds rushed into the city and ran to the gate of the county government office, shouting: "Someone is raising private soldiers in the mountains..."
Just as he shouted this, a dart suddenly hit him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground instantly.
Luo Zheng now lives in the county government office with a group of Black Kirin Guards. As soon as the man rushed to the gate of the county government office, the Black Kirin Guards ran out vigilantly, but unfortunately they failed to block the dart.
Seeing that man suddenly fall to the ground, the Black Qilin Guards immediately rushed forward, surrounded him with their bodies with their backs to him, and looked around vigilantly.
The Black Qilin Guards also rushed to the surrounding corners, looking for the person who had just attacked, but unfortunately, that person had already disappeared without a trace.
The Black Kirin Guards could only carry the injured man who fell to the ground into the county government office.
This person is actually also a Black Kirin Guard, but he deliberately dressed up as a hunter.
He was quickly carried in front of Luo Zheng, and then a thin man quickly came forward with a medicine box to check his injuries.
"He's still breathing. The dart was a little off target, but he should be able to be saved."
