The 17th Survey

When Zhang Tiemian heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he asked, "Manager Le, do you want to protect Zhao Zheng?" ”

"No, I'm not shielding Zhao Zheng, I just don't want to wronged good people. I, like the sword slave, also think that Zhao Zheng is not that kind of person, this matter is still in suspense, and it should be investigated. Master Zhang, I also hope that you are a master, don't overdo it and enforce the law excessively. Le Bu shook his head, and airway.

"If he is not imprisoned, what if he is afraid to abscond?"

"If he is really afraid of absconding, I will bear this responsibility, and I will take the blame to the head of Jin in person."

Zhang Tiemian had a gloomy face, staring at Le Unknown for a long time, and finally because of Le Unknown's identity, he still had to suppress his anger, nodded and said, "Okay, since Manager Le has spoken, it will be done according to your wishes." But my ugly words are in the front, if I find more evidence to prove that Zhao Zheng is a thief, no one will try to stop me at that time, I must punish him severely! ”

"Don't worry, if the matter comes to light and there is a conclusion, I will never interfere with your law enforcement, and I will help you with all my might. Although the old man is not talented, he thinks that in the past few years as the head of the dispatch, he has done things fairly. Le didn't know how to say leisurely. What he said is true, since the head of Jin came out of retreat, he has been taking care of the Taishan faction on his behalf, and he has been working diligently over the years, taking care of the Taishan faction in an orderly manner, although it has not made the Taishan faction prosperous, but it has not gone downhill.

"Let's go!" Zhang Tiemian snorted coldly, waved his hand heavily, and left the room angrily.

The other three companions said goodbye to Le Bu one after another, and then went their separate ways, some picked up the unconscious wolf dogs on the ground, and some rolled up the mess of stolen goods on the ground, and then left the room together, catching up with the angry Zhang Tiemian.

When Zhang Tiemian and the others were far away, Zhao Zheng bent down, picked up the two eldest brothers, put them on the chair, raised his hand and pointed at the acupoints on the two of them, and kneaded them a few times in the middle of the person.

Wang Er and Ren Qianqiu woke up slowly, opened their eyes, and since Zhang Tiemian released that overwhelming momentum, the two of them fainted, completely unaware of what had just happened, and they both showed a blank look. After the two came back to their senses, they hurriedly asked about what happened just now, and Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and explained briefly. After listening to the story, both of them were so angry that they scolded.

This is the territory of the Taishan faction, and Le Buzhi is standing aside, how can he scold Zhang Tiemian in front of Le Buzhi. Zhao Zheng didn't want to cause more trouble, so he hurriedly reprimanded two sentences and told the two eldest brothers to shut up. Wang Er and Ren Qianqiu quieted down at this time, got up from their chairs angrily, and stepped aside.

Zhao Zheng made a gesture of invitation to the first place, please sit down and discuss, Le Bu out of respect, did not sit directly, but instead asked the sword slave to sit first, the two postponed for a while, and then Le did not know to sit in the first place, and the sword slave sat on another chair. Zhao Zheng asked the two eldest brothers to go over to make tea, and he stood aside to accompany him.

"Second Master of Sword Slave, Zhang Tiemian is a straightforward person with a rough temper, I offended you a lot just now, and I hope you look at my thin face, adults don't remember villains, don't worry about him." Le Bu leaned on the table with one hand and apologized to the sword slave beside him.

"You weren't there just now, you didn't see his fierce look, it's even more arrogant than a bald-tailed dog, I really don't understand why your faction would let him be the hall master of the Criminal Law Hall with such a person. The whole mountain is up and down, and whoever is looking for to be the hall master of the Criminal Code Hall is stronger than him. The sword slave's anger did not subside.

"Zhang Tiemian is indeed a little straighter, this is his shortcoming, but it is also his advantage. Since he became the hall master of the Criminal Regulation Hall, there has never been a situation of favoritism, and he has never accepted bribes. I think it's still very appropriate for him to be the hall master of the Criminal Regulation Hall. ”

"Suitable bullshit, a person like him who makes presumptuous conclusions will only wronged good people. I don't care what happened to your faction before, just this time, he concluded that Zhao was a thief based on just a few broken dogs and a pile of stolen goods, which was too arbitrary. I've been in contact with Zhao Zheng for a while, and I know him well, and he will never do such a dirty thing as stealing women's underwear. And Zi Chujian can also prove that Zhao Zheng hasn't done these things these days. The stolen goods that were turned out today are obviously someone secretly planting blame and deliberately harming Zhao Zheng. ”

In fact, even if Zhao Zheng left with Zhang Tiemian just now, he would never be treated unfairly, although Zhang Tiemian spoke a little rudely, he would never lynch people indiscriminately when the evidence was insufficient. As for the planting of false accusations you mentioned, there is indeed such a possibility, so I only came forward to mediate just now to prevent Zhang Tiemian from taking Zhao Zheng away. Le Buzhi said and looked at Zhao Zheng who was standing aside, "Zhao Zheng, I have a lot of trust in your person, and I don't believe that you will do that kind of thing." This time, I will try my best to help you clear the suspicion and rescue the real culprit behind the scenes. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Le, for speaking up just now, and thank you for your help." Zhao Zheng solemnly thanked him.

"Zhao Zheng, do you think who will frame you in secret? Have you made enemies with people in your sect these days? Le Bu asked.

Zhao Zheng fell into deep thought when he heard this, and thought of various possible surnames, he mainly thought about it from two aspects, one is the relationship between himself and the people in the door, and the other is the background of the people in the door. Although the Taishan faction is a famous and decent family, there are too many disciples under the sect, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixed situation, and there is no shortage of some villains. He thought of a few of the people with the worst surnames, but he didn't say it directly, because there was no evidence at all now, and it didn't make any sense to say it. He finally shook his head and said, "I have been very self-disciplined these days, and I have always been easy-going in dealing with people and things, and I have not made enemies against anyone. ”

"It's strange, if you're not against someone, why would anyone frame you?" Le didn't know how to twist his white beard and frowned.

"I don't know, everything can only be said to be a disaster from the sky." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly......

Everyone chatted and chatted, and it didn't take long for Wang Er and Ren Qianqiu to bring the brewed tea and put it on the table one by one. Le Buzhi and the sword slave each took a glass, took a few sips, and then continued to talk about the matter of framing Zhao Zheng, but they didn't talk about anything, but they just agreed on a general investigation strategy.

No one knows who framed Zhao Zheng is, and there is not even a suspect, so everything can only be fished with large nets, mainly from looking for clues. Le Bu promised to investigate the matter thoroughly, and let the people in the Criminal Regulation Hall interrogate everyone up and down the door to see if they could find witnesses. In addition to this, a large bounty will be given, and whoever can provide a useful clue will be credited and the actual monetary reward will be given.

The title of the underwear thief suspect is too ugly, and Zhao Zheng implored Le Bu to temporarily block the relevant news, so as not to spread it and cause rumors. Le didn't know how to agree happily, and there was no shirk.

After discussing all aspects, Le didn't know how to get up and say goodbye, and Zhao Zheng and the others kept sending it to the door.

When he walked to the door, Zhao Zheng found that there were three or three disciples gathered not far from Chaoyangju, and these people were pointing at Chaoyangju and whispering, and they knew that they were saying bad things about Chaoyangju at a glance. Zhao Zheng sighed secretly, good things don't go out, bad things go thousands of miles, I'm afraid that this news will not be so easy to block, and it will soon spread throughout the entire Taishan faction. At that time, all those who don't know the truth will mistake him for an underwear thief. This kind of gossip is like a soft knife to him, and soft knives sometimes hurt more than hard knives.

The people standing outside didn't know how to come out when they saw Le, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Le Bu waved his hand and ordered these people not to watch, keep their mouths shut, and go back to where they should be. And the crowd scattered as birds and beasts, and walked away cleanly.

After sending Le Bu away, there were only four Zhao Zheng left in the courtyard.

The more Ren Qianqiu thought about it, the more angry he became, he slammed his palm with his fist, and scolded: "Fuck, which bastard stuffed those bad things into the son's bedroom, his intentions are really vicious, I really didn't expect that there would be such a person in the dignified and decent Taishan faction." ”

"He wants to use this method to ruin my reputation and make me have no place in the Tarzan faction. This person can come and go freely in the courtyard where we live, which shows that his martial arts are not low, at least above the Six Heavens. People who cultivate this kind of cultivation often hold important positions on the mountain, and if they add up, there should be more than 100 people, and we just want to find out the real culprit from these more than 100 people. Zhao Zheng frowned tightly and analyzed in a deep voice.

"Skynet is restored but not leaky, I don't believe he won't leak, once I know who he is, I have to pick his skin!" The sword slave interjected hatefully.

"Although Mr. Lok promised to investigate the matter thoroughly, I think we should not be idle, but also participate in the search for evidence. When that person commits a crime, he will definitely choose to do it when I and the sword slave seniors are not there, because this is the easiest way to attack. In order to wait for such a good time, he had to stay near Chaoyang Ju for a long time. Let's ask people in the neighborhood if there are any suspicious people who have been staying here a lot in recent days. Zhao Zhengdao.

Hearing this, Wang Er looked apologetic, rubbed his hands and said, "Childe, I'm really embarrassed, I blame Lao Ren and I for being blind and not being able to see that thief, which has caused you to suffer." ”

"Where is Brother Wang, this matter has nothing to do with you and Brother Ren, and the responsibility lies all on the thief alone." Zhao Zheng waved his hand.

Zhao Zheng and the others set out to investigate on the same day, leaving the sword slave alone to guard the house so as not to be patronized by thieves again, while the other three went outside to investigate.

Chaoyangju is the closest to Leng Xiangju, and Zhao Zheng led the two eldest brothers to Leng Xiangju first, intending to ask Yu Ling'er and several disciples if they have seen any suspicious characters recently. He knocked on the door, and it wasn't long before the door opened, and it was the beautiful girl who poked her head out.

In the past, when the girl saw Zhao Zheng, she had a very good attitude every time, even if she didn't smile, she would be very kind, but this time she had a small face, as if Zhao Zheng owed her a few hundred taels of silver.

When Zhao Zheng saw the girl's expression, he immediately understood that the girl must have listened to the rumors and regarded him as an underwear thief. As the saying goes, three people talk about tigers, it seems that it is true, if a ridiculous thing is said by three people, the fake will become true.

"Xiaohua, please pass on a message to the Lingshi for me, just say that I have something to ask to see." Zhao Zheng called the girl's nickname and said politely.

"No, the family teacher has said first, saying that he will retreat for alchemy today, and he will refuse to see guests, please go back." Xiaohua pushed the door as she spoke, closed the door without saying anything, and then hid behind the door and scolded in a low voice, "Bah, the silver thief who stole the belly pocket, I will never let you enter Leng Xiangju again in my life." ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little annoyed, this feeling of being wronged was really uncomfortable.

A small disciple of the sect would never dare to be so rude to Elder Keqing, it must be Yu Ling'er who instigated Xiaohua behind her back.

Zhao Zheng was really depressed, if someone he didn't know understood him, it would be fine, why didn't even Yu Ling'er trust him. But after thinking about it again, the two of them didn't get along for a long time, only a few days, and they usually only talked about alchemy, rarely talked about off-topic, and they were not familiar with each other, so it was no wonder that Yu Ling'er didn't trust him.

Thinking of this, he no longer blamed Yu Ling'er, but turned his anger on the unknown thief, all thanks to the thief.

"I must find you out and return my innocence!" Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and crunched, his fists couldn't help but clench, and he secretly made an oath in his heart.

Zhao Zheng suppressed his anger, flicked his sleeves, left Leng Xiangju, and led the two eldest brothers to another residence nearby. There is also an elder living in this house, who is much higher than Zhao Zheng in terms of seniority, status, and seniority. Zhao Zheng knocked on the courtyard door, and got the same result as just now, and ate another closed door, and the elders who lived here didn't want to see him at all......

It is estimated that this elder, like Yu Ling'er, also regarded him as a perverted underwear thief and disdained to meet him.

The anger he had suppressed was rising again, and it was the first time since he left the Sword Forged Villa that he was so angry.

Before, he planned to start an investigation from the surrounding area, but now it seems that this matter is not so easy, those who don't know the truth now all believe that he is an underwear thief, how can they talk to him, let alone provide clues. With his current status as a suspect, there is no way to pry open other people's mouths.

Not willing to give up, he cheekily went to several other nearby residences and knocked on the doors, but the result was the same, no one wanted to see him. And many people are whispering some bad things about him in secret, and the words they say are more and more ugly than the other.

He had no choice but to give up the investigation with hatred, and led the two eldest brothers back to Chaoyang Ju sullenly.

As soon as the sword slave saw them coming back, he hurriedly asked if there were any clues. Everyone shook their heads together and told what had happened just now, and the sword slave became even more angry after hearing it. Although the sword slave is not a party, he also lives in this courtyard, and if he doesn't catch the real murderer, he will be embarrassed even with him.

Zhao Zheng frowned, thinking hard about the identity of the real murderer, and thought of a few people who misbehaved, but he felt that it was not these people, because these people had nothing to do with him, and they had no stakes, so there was really no reason to harm him. As he walked, his eyes fell on the footprints on the side of the road, and suddenly he remembered something, and proposed: "By the way, the thief planted me to blame, maybe he will leave some traces in the courtyard, let's investigate it in the courtyard." Although the chances of finding a clue are small, it is better than doing nothing. ”

Everyone felt justified, and immediately launched a vigorous search in the courtyard, even the thatched house was not spared, but in the end there was still nothing, the thief did it very neatly, leaving no traces. After tossing for so long, the sky was completely dark at this time, the moon climbed up the branches, and the stars twinkled endlessly. Zhao Zheng and the sword slave are okay, not to mention being hungry, it doesn't matter if they are hungry for a day, but Wang Er and Ren Qianqiu can't.

Ren Qianqiu is a chef, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he proposed to make a fire to cook first, and then find a way after he was full of food and drink. For this kind of proposal, there was really no reason to refuse, and although Zhao Zheng had no appetite, he nodded and agreed. Ren Qianqiu entered the kitchen alone, and soon there was the sound of kitchen knives chopping and pots and pans colliding, and a simple dinner of four dishes and one soup was prepared in a short time.

After eating, everyone didn't put away the dishes and chopsticks, and sat directly around the dining table to discuss, but they still couldn't discuss what happened.

After the banquet was dismissed, Zhao Zheng returned to the bedroom with a calm face, lay on the bed and continued to meditate. He originally had three chances to enter the dungeon today, but when he encountered those things during the day, he was in a low mood now, so how could he still have the heart to practice. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't sleep all night, until dawn.

Since he had no way to investigate, he could only pin his hopes on Manager Le, and the next morning he went out without eating and went straight to Manager Le's house. He waited in the living room for about half an hour before he saw Le Bu. After the two sides exchanged greetings, he immediately expressed his thoughts and asked Le Zhi to investigate from the vicinity of Chaoyangju first.

Le didn't know how to agree immediately, but said that he was busy with his own affairs, and it was impossible to put all his energy on this matter, and it stands to reason that all such things would have to be handed over to the Criminal Regulation Hall for investigation. He also said that he would convey this order to the Criminal Regulation Hall for execution.

Zhao Zheng had a dispute with Tiemian of the Criminal Regulation Hall before, thinking that Zhang Tiemian might slack off on the matter because of his grudge, so he proposed that someone from the court should be in charge of the investigation.

However, Le didn't know that he didn't accept this proposal, because it would offend Zhang Tiemian, and it was impossible for him to offend an old hall master like Zhang Tiemian for a new guest elder like Zhao Zheng. He was able to stop Zhang Tiemian from arresting Zhao Zheng before, and he had already done his duty.

Zhao Zheng had no choice but to accept the matter and returned to Chaoyang Ju depressedly. Halfway through, he heard several times others pointing at his backbone and poking and whispering, naturally all about stealing women's underwear. It sounded harsh at first, but as he heard more, he gradually became numb. (To be continued.) )
