Chapter 49: You still choose to go back

"Whew!" Handsome for only three seconds, Zhou Zheng only glanced at Wen Siqi, and let out a long strange roar as if he was being strangled by someone's neck. After that, his primordial projection was restrained, and the astonishing momentum dissipated. And he himself, unable to stand, fell to his knees and retched.

"With your cultivation, urging the Yuan Shen projection to rush into the acupuncture path can be described as extremely dangerous. Have you forgotten that I just told you that you must not work so hard unless you have to, have you listened to me carefully? Wen Siqi taught Zhou Zheng a lesson, and at the same time hurriedly flipped through his package and found an elixir to give him a dose.

Zhou Zheng accompanied the tea, took the medicine, squinted slightly, supported himself, and said softly and firmly: "There is no more last resort." After putting away the Yuanshen projection, Zhou Zheng lost his majestic demeanor and turned back into the young man who was a little weak and stupid.

"Okay, you are a saint, as soon as others are in danger, you will have to do it as a last resort." Wen Siqi felt frustrated and angry, she had spent so much time, but when Zhou Zheng heard Jinshui Town, it was still as if she had lost her soul: "I'm really crazy, I took you so seriously, I should have watched you rot in the Golden ...... in the first place"

"When he put his hand on your face, I decided I couldn't bear it." It was rare that Zhou Zheng interrupted others with his mouth, and he looked at Wen Siqi very firmly: "Since then, I have tried to urge the Yuan Shen Projection, but when he mentioned Jinshui Town, my heart trembled, and it happened to be successful." ”

Wen Siqi, who was even more indignant because of being interjected, had already woven countless mocking sentences in an instant, and when Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he was going to spray him with blood. But after she listened to Zhou Zheng's answer, her nose was sour for no reason, her eyes were misty, and she pointed to her face with an incredible expression, and her tone trembled: "You mean...... Are you for me? ”

"I don't know what to say, but I can't watch him bully you. If I do nothing, even if my body is alive, my heart will die. Zhou Zheng's expression was serious and serious, but with a bit of self-deprecation: "You said that no matter what, I have you...... Actually, you're just talking about it, right? I can see that. ”

"This ...... You can't say that......" Seeing Zhou Zheng mention this matter, Wen Siqi was a little uncomfortable. At that time, she really just said it casually, but now, through Zhou Zheng's own words, she didn't have the courage to admit it.

Zhou Zheng shook his head: "Actually, it doesn't matter, I'll take it seriously anyway." Say it and you won't understand...... My past, my stories, my face, my body, none of these things are mine. Or rather, it's not the original mine. In this world, I have nothing but my name, except for the word 'Zhou Zheng'. So no matter how casual your words are, I take them seriously. Because at that moment, the courage and warmth you gave me was the most real, and I will never forget it. ”

Wen Siqi lowered her head and quietly listened to him say this word and sentence, full of emotions. During the whole process, she didn't even dare to respond to Zhou Zheng's eyes, because there was too much light and clarity in those eyes. And she herself carries gloom and conspiracy - her acquaintance with Zhou Zheng is a small corner of this gloom and conspiracy.

Like a liar with a clear conscience, ashamed to face the care of the target of the fraud.

"So, do I matter to you?"

"Very important."

It took Wen Siqi a long time to calm herself down, she raised her head and asked, "Then if I want you to leave the affairs of Jinshui Town alone, will you listen to me?" ”

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, but shook his head.

Seeing this, Wen Siqi's heart sank, sighed, and said, "But even if you are covered in iron, how many catties of nails can you hit when you return to Jinshui?" I said that it is better to report to the official, we have the corpse of the fox spirit in our hands, and we don't worry that they will not believe it. When the time comes, it is not much more useful to upload an urgent official document of 800 miles in front of the official than if you go back yourself? She never wanted Zhou Zheng to go back.

"Huh?" Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Makes sense." He knew his body best, except that he was tired, but he was still tired, and he thought, "I may really be useless when I go back." Anyway, as long as everyone can get right, that's fine. As for whether there are other thoughts mixed in with it, such as not wanting to think about certain people anymore, that is something he doesn't want to think about himself.

"I just hope that Jinshui Town can take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble."

As Siqi wished, Zhou Zheng gave up his personal heroism and took the body of the fox man to the Yiyang Mansion instead. In the middle of the government, in the face of the inquiry of the lord of the government, he explained his wishes in this way.

In this regard, Lord Futai was naturally full of praise, he stroked his beard, and praised: "You young man has a heart." ”

As he spoke, the three classes of officials he had sent before had brought the innkeeper and his daughter. As for why this is the case...... You can't just say what is because Zhou Zheng brought a big fox, right?

When the innkeeper was approached by the officials, he was terrified, after all, the so-called "you can't go to court if you are born, you can't go to hell if you die", how dare the common people go to these two places if they have nothing to do. This time he was named by the officials, and he almost didn't scare the already depressed boss out of his illness.

Fortunately, the official spoke simply, and simply explained to the innkeeper, saying that he had caught the sinner who had harmed his daughter, and he wanted to take his family to recognize it. To be honest, the innkeeper didn't want to go, it was useless to talk about this kind of thing, and the more he talked about it, the more damage it would do to his family.

However, the official doesn't care about this, and makes it clear that this is an order personally issued by the lord of Futai, and it is best to be willing to go, if you are unwilling, hehe, then you will be shackled. The innkeeper had no choice, so he could only take his daughter and go to the mansion.

When he arrived at the mansion, the innkeeper just knelt down and recognized Zhou Zhenglai, he pointed to Zhou Zheng's nose, and he was angry: "You brute ......" It turned out that because Zhou Zheng said "there is a smell on his body", the innkeeper's daughter threw herself into the well as soon as she ran back, but fortunately she was rescued in time. Now that he saw Zhou Zheng, he was naturally an enemy meeting, and he was very red-eyed.

The innkeeper pounced on him and was about to fight Zhou Zheng, but he was forked open with a fire stick by the quick-eyed servant on the side, and warned: "In front of the lord, how dare you roar in the court?" ”

The people were three points lower in front of the official, and they were sprayed with spit, and the innkeeper also calmed down, but a pair of eyes were still staring at Zhou Zheng, full of anger. Zhou Zheng said that he was very helpless, so he had to arch his hand to Lord Futai: "I hope that the Lord will return my innocence." ”

Lord Futai had heard Zhou Zheng talk about the ins and outs of the past before, and knew that there was a misunderstanding here, so he didn't mean to pursue it. He coughed lightly, put on an official posture, his voice was loud, and he said slowly and carefully: "This government has summoned you to come, not only to repay you justice, but also to return your innocence." Then, he repeated what Zhou Zheng said.

After listening to the story of Futai, the innkeeper's eyes were still a little incredible, his face was strange, and he stopped talking. Futai naturally knew that these few words could not be counted, so he said again: "Zhou Zheng, you said that you wanted to find someone's daughter to come over to testify, and now she has brought it, and she is in the middle of the ya, so you will go over to speak at this moment." You see, if she thinks you're not right......" The meaning is not finished, but the meaning is reached.

Zhou Zheng bowed his hand towards the mansion and went to the side office, in which in addition to the second lady of the inn with tears in her eyes and a loveless expression, she was the wife of the innkeeper. Needless to say, as soon as Zhou Zheng entered, he was naturally scratched by the innkeeper first.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng is also a martial artist, and he tried his best to protect his face, but he finally did not break his appearance. After the other party's mood stabilized a little, Zhou Zheng talked about the part he had hidden in front of the mansion - the details of the fox man's evil.

This thing is simple to say, but because it is too unbearable, Zhou Zheng chose not to say it in front of the house, so as not to spread it, which is not good for other girls. He made a bet with Futai instead, saying that if the innkeeper's young lady didn't approve of him, then he was the bastard who came with the fox corpse to swindle and deserve to eat the board.

"That night......" Zhou Zheng tried his best to make his narration sound serious, but the blame was that the fox man was too perverted, which led to Zhou Zheng's narration, which means that he is also responsible.

"Get out of here!" The young lady didn't speak, and Zhou was smashed out by her mother.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng escaped from the yaya in embarrassment, Futai's face was not very good-looking. When he had seen the fox corpse before, he thought it was as big as a calf, and he knew that it must be a demon. I felt that Zhou Zheng had no reason to lie to him at all, this was all a performance sent for nothing, and I was full of joy, so I agreed to Zhou Zheng's request, found the innkeeper and so on.

It's good now, he brought people to Futai, but they didn't testify to Zhou Zheng at all, which is not good. Fu Tai coughed heavily, and the expression on his face became stern: "Zhou Zheng, this mansion can tell you before...... This is to settle the account."

Zhou Zheng was also sweating, because this matter was not only related to the case of Yiyang, but also related to whether Futai was willing to use the post station to send an urgent warning letter of 800 miles to Pingjiang Mansion.

Fortunately, the good people finally got a good reward, and just when the water and fire stick was getting closer and closer to Zhou Zheng, a figure of Ping Ting staggered out of the side ya, and fell to the ground with a thud.

It was none other than the second lady of the innkeeper's family who knelt down; It was none other than Zhou Zheng, who was about to be forked out and beaten.

"Zhou Zheng, this government can tell you before, there is no need for such trouble. As soon as we look at your bearing, we will know that you are a young man who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and there is no lie. Futai temporarily changed his lines, shook his head, and looked like he knew this was the case.

And the innkeeper and the proprietress who chased her daughter out of the yaya were a little shocked, and their faces were incredible. When they came back to their senses, they kowtowed to Zhou Zheng like their own daughters: "Gongzi Gaoyi, we have eyes without beads, we have eyes without beads!" ”

This is the end of this matter. Futai shouted "retreat", introduced Zhou Zheng to the back office, and asked about Jinshui Town in more detail. Zhou Zheng naturally knows everything about this, and he doesn't know much, of course, he doesn't know much.

"You find a place first, and you can cultivate for the time being, and I will write a letter to inform Pingjiang Mansion."

"Then I'll take my leave." Zhou Zheng has not yet learned to say "grass people".

After Zhou Zheng retreated, the prefect of Yiyang ordered someone to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write his own letter. And just as he was about to finish writing, footsteps suddenly sounded outside his study.

"Proprietor, I'm back, the matter has been done, don't worry." The person who came was the prefect's number one staff, that is, the master in general.

The master has followed the prefect for many years, and from the time when the prefect was still the prefect, he saddled the horse before and after. To this day, he still occupies the first position around the prefect with his qualifications and wisdom.

"Ah, master, come in and help me see how my letter is written?"

"No."

The master entered the study, took the prefect's handwritten letter, only glanced at it briefly, and then made his own judgment, and even commented: "If I were here, I would never let the proprietor be contaminated with this kind of right and wrong." ”

The prefect was stunned and asked, "Why did Mr. say that, if it is because of my faith, I can save the people of Jinshui Town." This is not only a merit, but also my ......."

"If all this is true, the proprietor, you will naturally have a great merit, but what if it is not true?"

"Probably not, this young man worked hard to subdue the fox spirit, he doesn't need to joke with me with his life."

The master glanced at his proprietor and explained: "I also don't think he will deceive the proprietor, but what he said, in the final analysis, he heard it from the fox spirit." The fox spirit's original words just said that the demon clan has something to do in Jinshui, but has it been said that when and what scope is it, will it harm people's lives? If the proprietor writes this letter, uses a stagecoach, and rushes for 800 miles, which makes the people of Pingjiang Mansion panic, and in the end nothing happens in Jinshui Town, how do you say it should be ended? ”

"......"

"If you are not in your position and do not seek your own government, you are the official of the Henan Domain, so why should you think about the affairs of the Jiangnan Domain? Over the years, I have been advising you that more is better than less. ”

"Alas......" The prefect pondered for a long time, and finally showed a helpless expression: "After all, it is difficult to settle!" ”

"The proprietor is kind-hearted!"

……

Soon after, the master went to the inn where Zhou Zheng was staying, expressed his 120,000 admiration to Zhou Zheng, and expressed endless regret: "Lord Futai fell unconscious after you left, and now he can't see things. ”

"The Epistle?"

"What letters?"

"It's ......" Looking at the master's professional face, Zhou Zheng suddenly stopped, did not continue the topic, but said: "I know, master, please go back." ”

"Young heroes worry about the country and the people!"

"Please go back!"

Standing at the window, Zhou Zheng looked at the back of his master in the distance; Behind him, Wen Siqi also looked at his lonely back.

"You're still going back?"

"Yes."

"She stings your heart......"

"Nothing to do with any of that."

"You won't wake up......"

"Awakening?" Zhou Zheng turned around, and the natal star behind him was shining red, like the sun: "Like who, like the master of Futai?" ”
