Chapter 42 Seizure
Chapter 42 Seizure
The Zhao family is a prominent and long-standing family in Yongkang County.
They came from an official family during the previous dynasty, and maintained their official status even after the establishment of the Republic of China.
The head of the family, Zhao Xingzhou, is also the police chief of Yongkang County Police Station.
In Yongkang County, Zhao Xingzhou was one of the most powerful people under County Magistrate Yang Changhong.
However, today, the people gathered at the Zhao family mansion from the police station are led by Yang Changhui, the chief inspector of the Inspectorate.
Zhao Xingzhou did not appear.
"That old bastard Zhao Xingzhou really slipped away quickly."
"When the Divine Talisman Society caused trouble yesterday, he immediately took his family and fled Yongkang County by boat."
"His biological son, Zhao Chenguang, ran away and was simply abandoned!"
Yang Changhui looked at the Zhao family mansion, which no longer had any direct descendants of the Zhao family, and his lips twitched slightly.
When Zhao Xingzhou fled yesterday, he only took the direct descendants of the Zhao family with him. He claimed to the people in the mansion that he had personally led the people to repel the Divine Talisman Society, and he also arranged for the elders of the collateral branches and the steward to guard the Zhao family.
When Yang Changhui arrived with his men, the people inside the Zhao family mansion were still unaware that Zhao Xingzhou had already run away with the Zhao family's direct descendants!
These people were deliberately left behind by Zhao Xingzhou to buy him and his group more time to escape.
"Zhao Chenguang, the eldest son of the Zhao family, colluded with the evil cult Shenfu Society and took advantage of the chaos to lead the people of Shenfu Society to besiege the inner city. His crimes are heinous."
"Police Chief Zhao Xingzhou fled before even engaging in combat when the Shenfu Society caused chaos; his crime is unforgivable."
"When the cult was causing trouble, the Zhao family did not send out aid personnel as required, and the Zhao family will no longer be a member of the city's friendship association."
"Today, Yang Changhui, the chief inspector of my office, in the name of the county magistrate, announced the confiscation of the Zhao residence."
"The crimes of Zhao Xingzhou and others have been reported to the provincial capital, and the governor will personally determine their sentences."
Yang Changhui immediately announced the confiscation of the Zhao residence.
He originally brought so many people here because he wanted to personally capture Zhao Xingzhou and the others.
Zhao Xingzhou's previous actions had disgusted him, so he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
He just didn't expect that Zhao Xingzhou would actually run away with the direct descendants of the Zhao family, and that he would run away at the first moment when the Divine Talisman Society was causing trouble in the city!
The time he held off the people from the Divine Talisman Society yesterday was the time for Zhao Xingzhou and the others to escape.
When Yang Changhui learned of these circumstances, he was so angry he laughed!
Yesterday he was puzzled as to why Zhao Xingzhou and the others hadn't shown up to provide support. Now it seems they were just trying to draw the cult's attention away from him, so that Zhao Xingzhou could take the opportunity to escape with the Zhao family's direct descendants.
Zhao Xingzhou timed his departure so well that even a dog wouldn't believe he wasn't connected to the Divine Talisman Society.
After Yang Changhui gave the order, the police began to seal off the Zhao residence.
The remaining people in the Zhao residence couldn't believe the outcome and started causing trouble. They even threatened to sue Changhui and others, and some even threatened suicide, just to prevent the police from sealing off the Zhao residence.
Seeing this, the police didn't tolerate it.
Those who cause trouble should be beaten up.
The person who wants to file a complaint will be detained and taken to the police station.
As for those who threaten suicide, they are satisfied with the truth.
The other party tried to seize the truth, and the police officer "had no choice" but to fire, and everything proceeded as expected.
After all that, the remaining people in the Zhao household behaved themselves and allowed the police to seal off the Zhao residence.
"All the good stuff was taken away by that old bastard Zhao Xingzhou, leaving only these junk."
With the help of the shrewd servants in the Zhao family mansion, Yang Changhui also found the location of the Zhao family's treasure vault.
However, after glancing at the scene inside, his expression turned rather unpleasant.
The shelves in the treasure vault were all askew, and many things were on the ground with no one cleaning them up.
Clearly, Zhao Xingzhou and his group had visited the treasure vault before leaving and taken away all the valuable items.
What remained were some worthless items that were inconvenient to carry, which, although of some value, were far from what Yang Changhui had envisioned.
He brought so many people here today not only to take down Zhao Xingzhou, but also because he was very interested in the Zhao family's accumulated wealth over the years.
It should be noted that before the Republic of China era, the Zhao family had accumulated more wealth than the Yang family, and must have possessed many valuable items.
Given the current state of the treasure vault, the chances of finding good items are greatly reduced.
Yang Changhui's gains from this trip were certainly much less than he expected, which is why he looked so unhappy.
Despite this, Yang Changhui still arranged for people to begin cleaning up the Zhao family's treasure vault.
The items in the treasure vault still have some value, and you might even find some hidden gems.
......
Fengnian Street.
In the old courtyard.
"I'm not joking!"
Yang Jian said with a serious expression.
"The curse is completely unfounded."
"I didn't even take it seriously, but you did!"
"Do you really intend to sacrifice twenty children for your evil exorcism ritual?"
As Yang Jian spoke, the coldness on his face intensified.
The old sorceress actually thought he had come to resolve the issue of his inconsistent soul and body.
In a way, he also came here to resolve the issue of his inconsistent soul and body, just in a different way than what the old sorceress said.
"Young Master is joking. Last time, it was my fault for not considering things carefully."
"Now I have a new way, without being so strict, to help you solve your physical problems, Second Young Master."
"It just requires a little more money."
When the old sorceress heard about the deaths of twenty children, her expression changed slightly, and then she spoke with a fawning smile.
At this point, the situation was beyond her control, and she had no choice but to lower her stance.
Furthermore, if we can get a large sum of money, everything will be fine.
As for her wanting revenge afterward, that's easy too.
As long as she is prepared to leave, she can send the vengeful spirit to the Yang family mansion to take revenge at any time. After taking revenge, she can leave Yongkang County directly. By then, the Yang family will be unable to do anything about it.
"Can't you understand?"
"Hand over the two vengeful infants, or you won't be leaving and will stay here!"
"The feng shui of the place you chose is good; it's very suitable for a final resting place."
Yang Jian stopped talking about other things and directly stated his position.
If we can obtain the two vengeful infants without lifting a finger or shedding blood, that would be ideal. If not, then we'll have to take action.
The fact that the old sorceress took out these two vengeful infants and controlled them so deeply proves that she is not an innocent person.
Naturally formed vengeful infants don't look like this, nor are they likely to be so obedient.
There is only one exception: if one participates in the entire process of creating the vengeful infant from the very beginning and subdues it as soon as it is born, then one will have a strong ability to control it.
The wounds on the old sorceress's palms, her pale face, and the two obedient, resentful infants all demonstrate the strength of the old sorceress's control over her.
Ordinary vengeful infants would have already turned on the old witch in her current state and retaliated!
The Ghost Chapter of "The Book of Strange Things" records that even if a fierce ghost is subdued, it will always seek an opportunity to retaliate, unless the ghost and the host have a special relationship.
The old sorceress's face turned very ugly when she heard Yang Jian's words.
She truly hadn't expected that Yang Jian wasn't looking for her to resolve the water ghost curse, but rather to target the vengeful infant in her possession.
