"Isn't this inappropriate?"
Zhang Mingtu was a little confused.
Originally, he didn't know much about Rui Hai. He only knew that his son had returned and seemed to have captured one of his chief clerks.
However, there should be no follow-up personnel investigation, which means that Ruihai did not find the real mastermind and related people.
It makes sense. Daring to use such a taboo magic against a court official is extremely sensitive and will attract the attention of the capital of Daxia.
Back then, many members of the royal family in the area around the capital of Daxia died in the Witchcraft Rebellion, and countless other people were implicated.
Even though witchcraft still exists, no one dares to expose such things in public.
I think the other party has handled the aftermath of this matter very cleanly. Once the clue reaches the chief clerk, it will definitely be cut off completely.
There is a high possibility that the chief clerk will be killed and silenced without leaving any trace.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Using one person's life to protect the safety of hundreds is a good deal. My son is no more noble than others. Go ahead and do it."
Zhang Mingtu received the order and left. He was quite relaxed when he came, but his steps were quite heavy when he left.
However, he did not leave the county government office immediately, but wandered slowly inside the county government office.
Well, he used the Dragon and Tiger External Pill to conceal his aura, and combined it with the military's unique reconnaissance method of concealing his aura, and walked inside the county government office. He clearly walked in front of many people, but no one discovered Zhang Mingtu.
This is a skill that Zhang Mingtu has acquired after spending more than three years outside the border, hiding during the day and moving at night.
If you can't hide your aura, you will be hunted down by the great wizards and grandmasters of the northern barbarians.
Before the life-and-death crisis, Zhang Mingtu mastered many little tricks.
It is also simple and appropriate to use it within the county government.
Zhang Mingtu’s first target was the chief clerk brought by Ruihai to help him handle government affairs in the county government.
The chief clerk was a typical scholar, with a fair complexion and a perfect beard on his chin. His body was quite thin, but not frail, and he looked strong overall.
Thanks to the method of cultivating literary energy created by the saints back then, as long as the scholars can pass the imperial examinations normally, they will have talent infused in their bodies and their physique will definitely not be weak.
Those who are sent to serve as officials in various places are usually considered to be in good health.
Even though he had already identified the chief clerk, Zhang Mingtu did not rush to his room to investigate the situation.
The art of witchcraft is quite sensitive. Once involved, the entire nine clans will be punished, which is not the lightest punishment. All those who have a connection with this line may be punished with the entire nine clans, and they will not ask too many questions. They will kill those who made a mistake and will not let them go.
Therefore, once the people involved choose to intervene in this incident, they will definitely be extremely cautious.
Zhang Mingtu's ability to conceal his breath and voice was at the master level, and he was considered outstanding among the masters, but he still watched carefully from a distance and did not approach hastily.
The actions of the military often give people the impression of being rude and arrogant.
After all, the army only cares about force, as if all they have in their heads is chicken, but that's only for soldiers at most. The generals who can truly lead a side are extremely delicate in form.
You even need to know yourself and your opponent thoroughly. Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win every battle. You cannot be careless at any time.
Many generals in the army seem to act rudely and recklessly, but in fact they only attack after understanding everything in detail. If they don't move, it's fine, but when they move, it's like thunder.
Zhang Mingtu's brother had been active at the border for more than ten years. Even though many of his memories were not brought into Zhang Mingtu's body, the cautious nature of his character was also imprinted in Zhang Mingtu's mind.
Faced with the witchcraft that he had never dealt with before, Zhang Mingtu seemed quite careful.
He did not make any other moves the whole day. He was just observing the chief clerk, keeping a distance of several dozen meters away.
After a day of observation, Zhang Mingtutu was quite surprised. This chief clerk was basically either handling government affairs or on his way to handle government affairs.
He is quite dedicated, no wonder Ruihai keeps him by his side.
In terms of professionalism alone, this chief clerk can be said to be quite qualified.
Zhang Mingtu observed him for a whole day but found no flaws or traces on him.
But Zhang Mingtu is not in a hurry, as there is still a lot of time.
Originally, this chief clerk was in the dark, and he did many things quietly without anyone knowing. But now the situation has been reversed, and Zhang Mingtu and Ruihai are already standing in the dark.
Just wait quietly and the other party will naturally reveal their true colors.
That special poisonous insect needs talent to take root and sprout, and in order to let Ruihai's child die silently, there will basically be no major problems before the child is born.
Now the insects haven't really hatched yet, so it's not a big problem.
After observing this side, Zhang Mingtu secretly visited Ruihai again late at night.
The main thing is to look at the specific situation of Ruihai’s wife.
Originally, when officials took up their posts, their families would not accompany them, mainly because they were afraid that the journey would be too long and the travel would be tiring. In ancient times, it was easy for the officials to suffer from acclimatization problems and die on the road.
In this day and age, colds and fevers can be fatal.
But Ruihai was transferred between Jianyi and Xingguo County, the journey was not far, and the waterway between the two counties was extremely developed. Ruihai's wife also followed him in the past few days.
"I beg your pardon for visiting me so late at night."
"But how are things progressing?"
During the late night visit, Ruihai still hadn't rested and was still handling government affairs by the oil lamp.
Ruihai's wife served two cups of tea and turned to leave, mainly to avoid suspicion, but was stopped by Zhang Mingtu.
"I heard that Madam is several months pregnant. My medical skills are quite good among my colleagues. Could I take Madam's pulse?"
Mrs. Wang stood there in astonishment and glanced at Ruihai.
It was quite taboo in official circles for a subordinate to suddenly approach his superior's wife for some reason. Rui Hai was stunned when he heard it, but then he nodded when he thought of the poisonous insect mentioned in the letter.
Although Mrs. Wang did not understand the secret communication between the two, she knew that Ruihai would not harm her. She sat down aside calmly and extended her hand to Zhang Mingtu.
Zhang Mingtu bent slightly and placed his right index and ring fingers on his pulse.
His medical skills can be said to be quite good. After ten years at the border, his medical skills have been honed quite well, and he is still able to save lives and heal the wounded.
But his main purpose was not to take Mrs. Wang's pulse, but to find out the poisonous insect in her body.
Since he has taken over this matter, he must deal with the problem of the poisonous insects.
The chief clerk couldn't find out many things, so he could only start with Mrs. Wang.
