The seventh round, Lianghe County

"What else can you do for, it's nothing more than wealth, even if you don't ask, you can guess the approximately. I guess they had a bad plot against you a long time ago, and the two of us showed up halfway and disrupted their plans, so they want to kill us together. Zhao Zheng snorted.

"Could it be that all the dart masters in the Heaven and Earth Dart Bureau are bad people like Zhou Kui and them? The scale of that dart game is not small, there are dozens of dart masters. If they are all bad guys, will the other dart bearers also be framed? Xu Hong worried.

"I'm not familiar with this dart game, I don't know the truth, and if I want to know the answer, I can only extract a confession from his mouth." Zhao Zheng set his eyes on the dart master. The master was still tied under the tree, and he hadn't woken up yet, his head hanging and snoring.

"But he has a hard mouth and doesn't say anything, what should I do?" Xu Hong asked.

"Master Xuanxuan is soft-hearted and doesn't let me force a confession, and I don't have any good ideas, so I just send him to the yamen in Lianghe County and let the yamen deal with it." Zhao Zheng replied.

"The poor monk can have a good talk with him and persuade him to tell him everything." Xuan Xuan interjected on the side.

"I didn't let go of his punches and kicks last night, and he will say it with a few words from you." Zhao Zheng shook his head, not reporting much confidence. It's a pity that he has just learned to point acupoints, and he won't point some special acupoints, otherwise he can rely on points to force the dart master to loosen his mouth.

Such as laughing acupoints, crying acupoints and other tormenting special acupoints, in the point technique has a unique point, not by brute force can be successful, if the point is not only not effective, but also may put people to death. Since he promised Xuan Xuan to leave the dart master with a life. Then you can't experiment randomly.

"The poor monk will know what he does. Move with emotion. I hope he will come to his senses. "Xuan Xuan Dao.

"Then you can slowly understand him on the way. It's not far from Lianghe County, so we have to hurry up. There are good doctors in the county, you can take care of your wounds, and I have a little thing to do. After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he walked under the tree and patted the dart master's face to wake him up.

The dart master had committed a capital crime and was seriously wounded. Of course, the attitude was not much better, and after waking up, he glanced at Zhao Zheng and turned his head.

Zhao Zheng ignored it, untied the rope tied to the tree, grabbed the dart master and threw it into the carriage of a carriage.

The number of people in the team was less than three, and the extra horses were unridden, so Zhao Zheng led the extra horses into the forest, opened the stable warehouse, and tied them one by one. Back on the road, he became a coachman with Xuan Xuan. He rushed to the carriage in front, and Xuan Xuan to chase the carriage behind. The team is back on the road.

The master was locked up in the back carriage. On the way forward, Xuan Xuan talked to the dart master while driving the horse, sometimes asking about the purpose of the crime, and sometimes giving lectures. The dart master remembered Xuan Xuan's life-saving grace last night, and his attitude towards Xuan Xuan was quite polite, although he still refused to answer, but at least he did not insult Xuan Xuan.

On the way, Xuan Xuan talked endlessly, even if his voice was hoarse, he didn't stop, and he was even more chatty than Song Kuai. Not to mention the dart master, even Zhao Zheng was tired of hearing it. The dart master's ears were like a swarm of flies, buzzing incessantly, and he was so annoyed that paper could not contain the fire, so he relented, and told everything he knew that night.

Zhao Zheng was quite surprised, he didn't expect that Xuan Xuan could convince the dart master at all.

In fact, Zhao Zheng's previous guess was basically correct, Zhou Kui and others were indeed trying to make money and color, and after taking Xu Hong's dart, they had bad intentions, and planned to tie Xu Hong up halfway and sell it to the Qinglou in Lianghe County, so as to collect both wealth and sex.

However, they decided to commit the crime privately this time, and it had nothing to do with the Heaven and Earth Dart Bureau. Several of them were originally bandits in the mountains, but because the government increased the intensity of suppressing bandits, they changed their careers to become dart masters. In the dart game, they are a small gang, and every time there is a suitable dart, they will take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the bodyguard.

They are all bandits who kill people without blinking, even if they become dart masters, they will not settle down, and they will assassinate the dart man on the way to the bodyguard several times, and swallow the property of the dart man himself. If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and they finally planted a fight this time.

The truth of what the dart master said is unknown, and he can't fully believe it for the time being, as for the specific situation, he can only hand it over to the government of Lianghe County for interrogation slowly.

Although the master said something about the crime, Xuan Xuan did not let him go, and he still talked on the way, persuading him to put down the butcher knife, abandon evil and follow good, and recite several scriptures to him. At first, the dart master couldn't listen to it at all, but after listening to it, he gradually understood some of the mysteries of Zen in the Buddhist scriptures, his attitude changed, and he was able to listen patiently. Xuan Xuan was very happy and explained it carefully.

When he rested halfway, Xu Hong would also listen to Xuanxuan's lectures, but Zhao Zheng was not interested in it.

Three days later, in the afternoon, they finally arrived in Lianghe County, a small county like Qibao County, with only a few thousand households in the county.

Zhao Zheng went to Changchun Mansion with the primary purpose of obtaining a good sword from the Sword Casting Villa. The middle and lower grade swords could not satisfy him at all, what he really wanted was the top grade swords. Swords of this quality, even if they are forged in Sword Casting Villa, are rarely produced, and they cannot be bought by money alone, and can only be obtained through some special means.

In the course of the game, if nothing else, after half a year, the Sword Forge Villa will release a high-grade sword "Zichu Sword", and hold a competition that only young people can participate in, and give this sword to the winner. Zhao Zheng just wanted to win this precious top-grade sword by participating in the competition.

The high-grade sword not only surpasses the middle-grade and lower-grade sword in terms of sharpness, but also has a "sword spirit" in the sword body.

The sword spirit can be understood as a kind of spirituality, with a certain degree of autonomy, and can communicate with the user. In fact, not only the sword, but also the other blades may be born after reaching the top grade. The spirits born from the sword are called sword spirits, while the spirits born from other blades are collectively called machine spirits. The names of the two are different, but the concepts are basically the same.

If you want to use a blade with a machine spirit, you must get the approval of the machine spirit, otherwise you will be resisted when you pick up the blade, and the blade itself will shake violently, hindering its use. Once you have the approval of the machine spirit and become the owner of the blade, you can use it freely.

The sword spirit itself can communicate with the master, and can also absorb the master's internal force, accumulate strength, and perform a powerful blow. In normal times, you can also act as a guard for the master, alert the surrounding situation, if someone suddenly attacks, will take the initiative to release the hidden internal force, to fight back.

It can be seen that the high-grade sword has many advantages, and this kind of sword is very rare and rare, and almost every high-grade sword is born, which will cause a competition. As for the top-grade swords above the top-grade swords, they are even more rare and unavoidable, and if you count the top-grade swords in the entire Great Yan Country, there will be no more than ten.

Among the few medium-grade swords, Zichu Sword can be regarded as the best among them, whether it is hardness, flexibility, sharpness, and sword spirit, it is an extremely rare good sword.

If you want to get Zichu Sword, the process is not simple, not just to participate in a competition to succeed, you have to do some preparatory work in the early stage, and the first step is to get a good wood carving work.

Aoki Mansion is rich in trees, and there are many woodcarving artists, and the level of wood carving is second to none in Dayan, and there is a powerful woodcarving artist in Lianghe County.

Zhao Zheng came to Lianghe County this time to get a good wood carving from the hands of this wood carver for later use. This will be the starting point for him to get the Zichu Sword.

After entering the city gate, Zhao Zheng got out of the car, found the soldiers guarding the gate, and made it clear that he had caught a gangster. This case was not trivial, and the soldiers did not dare to slack off, so they immediately took Zhao Zheng and two carriages to the mansion. Just as the official gate is as deep as the sea, it is extremely cumbersome to deal with this kind of case, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Zheng wanted to kill the dart master directly.

In order to simplify the process, Zhao Zheng secretly stuffed money for the county order and asked the county order to deal with it by itself.

The master was put in prison, tried repeatedly, and confessed everything he knew.

The local county magistrate sent two groups of people, one group went to search for the buried body, and the other group rushed to Qibao County to inform the yamen of Qibao County of the incident.

Zhao Zheng and several others, as witnesses, need to stay in Lianghe County temporarily. Xuan Xuan needs to recuperate, and he also needs to buy wood carvings, and he also has to stay for a period of time, and he will not delay time. (To be continued.) )
