Longevity starts with learning

As night fell, Nanshan Town, which had returned to peace over time, fell into hustle and bustle again this night.

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

Teams of patrols searched house to house. After the search, they put lifelike wanted notices into the hands of the sleepy people.

With the generous silver reward that most ordinary people may not be able to earn in a lifetime of hard work, coupled with the temptation of the family being exempted from corvee for life, the entire Nanshan Town seemed to be completely boiling that night.

And this excitement, under Li Jinghong's will, spread rapidly outside Nanshan Town and even to the entire Qinghe County.

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

Compared with the team leader who was an ordinary patrol officer in the past and now officially performs his duties and leads more than a dozen patrol officers, he can barely be considered to have some power in Nanshan Town.

In this inspection station, I feel a lot more calm when I act.

Before today, Chu Mu would have never been happy.

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

It took several months to barely build up an understanding of the world, but it was shattered almost instantly!

Any power or status seems to be insignificant compared to the higher level of transcendence.

This can be seen clearly from Li Jinghong, who is a county captain and has the highest military position in Qinghe County.

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

Quite a few of them are even beyond the scope of authority of the county captain, and their meaning is extremely clear.

Chu Mu held the long knife in his arms and leaned against the wall, staring expressionlessly at the blood in front of him.

The old man's body had been disemboweled, and the inspector of the inspection station was still cutting up the old man's body with all his strength under the watchful eyes of Li Jinghong.

Although he had been dead for a long time, the blood flowing was still bright. Following the incision, 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, and did not move his eyes from the beginning to the end, 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 corpse, and he obviously did not want to let go of any possibility.

I'm afraid the old man himself didn't expect that he would be exhumed so long after his death and subjected to 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 gains have nothing to do with him, at least Li Jinghong... is within his reach, rather than beyond his cognitive reach.

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

The thick smell of blood filled the not-so-spacious dungeon, and when mixed with the musty smell accumulated in the dungeon, it was enough to make people sick.

"Piece the bodies together and hang them on the archway in the north of the town."

"When the body is put together, Wu Shuo, take someone to guard it."

Li Jinghong looked at the broken corpse indifferently. After a moment, he turned around and left after saying these words.

"How long will it take to spell it out?"

After Li Jinghong left, Wu Shuo stepped forward and asked the man.

"If you tell me, you can finish it in half an hour."

Wu Zuo responded quickly.

Wu Shuo frowned, and then motioned for Wu Zuo to start quickly. Without saying any more, he walked to the side and sat down, as silent as a sculpture.

Obviously, the Fengyue Tower incident had a big impact not only on Chu Mu, but also on the other inspections involved.

Chu Mu hesitated for a while, then walked to Wu Shuo and asked with some hesitation:

"Chief Wu, what does Qianhu mean by...the Li family in Nanshan?"

"have no idea."

Wu Shuo took a long breath, glanced around, and whispered: "Anyway, since I joined this inspection, the county magistrate and county lieutenant in our county are all named Li."

"Many counties and counties 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 whether it is true or not..."

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

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

It is obvious that Li Jinghong has some kind of defense method to deal with mysterious attacks such as resentful spirits.

In addition, when Li Jinghong faced the resentful souls, he relied on the Nanshan Li family.

This undoubtedly clearly shows that the Nanshan Li family mentioned by Li Jinghong must be on another level.

For a family with such a mysterious and extraordinary level, its focus must be on the mysterious and extraordinary.

The secular world should only be a side detail.

Let’s look at Li Jinghong’s greedy attitude towards 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 secular world...is controlled by a higher level of mystery and transcendence?"

While he was vaguely guessing, Chu Mu suddenly became enlightened.

If you look at it this way, all the unreasonable things seem to be reasonable.

It doesn't matter if the production and transportation of the mines are not in line with the secular common sense, as long as it is in line with the interests of the mysterious and extraordinary.

Wantonly exploiting the lower-class people, treating human lives as worthless, and forcing the people to revolt again and again, it seems that it is not in line with the order of secular rule, but as long as it is in line with the interests of the mysterious and extraordinary, who would care about a mere human life?

Subconsciously, Chu Mu suddenly thought of the original owner's father, who had one thousand corvées plus the escorted patrols, but none of them survived!

Moreover, according to the news he heard during this period, Qinghe County is not an isolated case.

In the surrounding counties, the corvées and escorted patrols conscripted by the county city seemed to have gone... and never returned.

Is this... also in line with the interests of the higher-level mysterious and extraordinary?

Suddenly, Chu Mu felt his scalp tingling. If everything was really as he thought...

Then this world...

Chu Mu looked up and wanted to look at the night sky, but all he saw was a roof full of mold spots.

A world covered by a mysterious net of a higher level, everything, all served the mysterious and extraordinary of a higher level!

Chu Mu's face seemed a little pale.

If this is true, this patrol skin, this seemingly good power and status... is simply a big joke...
