"Let you adults wait for a long time, Zou is no longer in the city lord's mansion for a while, and I ask you to forgive me. ”

Before seeing a human figure, Ren Tianxiang heard a sound like thunder outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a strong man walked in from outside the living room and saluted Ren Tianxiang and the three people sitting in the living room.

I saw that this person was about 1.8 meters tall, the hair on the top of his head was slightly thin, and the hairline was also slightly higher. His appearance is very ordinary, probably the standard appearance of an ordinary honest person, and he is absolutely unrecognizable at a glance when he is put in a pile of people.

He was wearing a somewhat shabby uniform, if Ren Tianxiang didn't admit his mistake, it was the general uniform of the city lord of Xifeng Xing Province, but his uniform was really a little shabby, not only the large and small patches on the clothes, but even the color of a pair had faded a lot.

Although he had never seen this person, Ren Tianxiang still recognized this person's identity at the first time. However, the main reason is that the person who came has already revealed his identity in his own words.

Zou Chang, the lord of Linshi City, the main leader of the Panshan Road in Linshi City, and one of the most beloved officials in Linshi City.

But when Ren Tianxiang saw him, he immediately thought of the first-level prosecutor Kou Zhemao who was assassinated, and the killer who wanted to assassinate him that night but was killed by himself.

If you look at it just from the appearance, this Zou Chang doesn't look like a corrupt official at all, and even Ren Tianxiang will think that if it is not the procuratorate, he has made a mistake.

But Xingheng had already secretly reminded himself that there was definitely something wrong with this Zou Chang. Therefore, at the first glance of Zou Chang, Ren Tianxiang felt a trace of disgust in his heart, and always felt that the whole person in front of him was not a good person.

Of course, the saying of good people and bad people is also a subjective perspective, in the eyes of different people, this Zou Chang City Lord is a great good person, and without him, many people may die because of this. But this does not serve as a reason for Zou Chang to escape the prosecution and the Ministry of Justice.

However, these Ren Tianxiang just thought about it in his heart, and he didn't show any disgust on the surface.

Therefore, at the first glance he saw Zou Chang, he cleaned up his expression, stood up with a smile on his face, greeted Zou Chang, and said at the same time: "Zou Chang City Lord, I have admired the name for a long time, what you did for Linshi City has alarmed our procuratorial department." If you want to say that the most accomplished city lord over the years, it should be you, the city lord of Zou Chang. ”

"Your Excellency praised it. Zou Chang was also modest, and he bowed his hand again and again, and said, "Your Excellency suddenly came to Linshi City, and you didn't give us any news about the local officials, and I don't know your name yet. Dare to ask...... What's your last name?"

"Exempt from your surname. Ren Tianxiang also arched his hand towards Zou Chang, with a strong smile on his face, "I am a special procurator of the procuratorial department, following His Majesty's personal orders, leading His Majesty's procuratorial powers, to investigate the assassination of Kou Zhemao, a first-level procurator of the procuratorial department, and I can be regarded as a minister sent by His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"It turned out to be because of Lord Kou's business. Hearing that Ren Tianxiang was going to investigate Kou Zhemao's death, Zou Chang suddenly restrained his smile and showed sadness, "Lord Kou is dutiful and loyal to the empire, but he didn't expect to be killed in my Linshi City...... In this matter, we have an unavoidable responsibility for the City Lord's Mansion in Shicheng, and I ask you to be strict in investigating everything and returning your innocence. ”

"That's nature. Ren Tianxiang's smile remained unchanged, but his gaze became scrutinized, "It's just that on the way here, I heard that it was Lord Kou who was assassinated by the city lord of Zou Chang, and I don't know how ...... this matter."

"My lord, who is slandering me?" Before Ren Tianxiang finished speaking, Zou Chang immediately became emotional, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I have always done my best for the empire, and it is absolutely impossible for me to do something vicious to murder the officials of the empire. Moreover, we are in Stone City, and I am already an immortal-level monk with extremely strong combat power, so it is impossible for me to personally kill Lord Kou, right?

"It's easy to talk about this matter, we came here to find out about this matter. The city lord of Zou Chang is the leader who leads the people of Linshi City to prosperity, and we will naturally not let you be ashamed of such an important official. Ren Tianxiang didn't care about the expression on Zou Chang's face, but just patted the other party's shoulder with his own care.

Then he pointed to Hu Yaoyu, who was still sitting on the chair, with a meaningful smile on his face, and then said: "This is Inspector Hu Yaoyu, you should have seen it before." This time, I came over to lead this team of investigators and continue to complete the tasks that Master Kou did not complete. I'm afraid this matter still needs the strong support of the city lord Zou Chang. ”

"I support support and support the work of adults and the Imperial Court by all means. Zou Chang nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that he would be convicted by Ren Tianxiang if he was slow to respond.

Nodding slightly, Ren Tianxiang looked outside the living room and said seemingly casually: "Zou Chang City Lord, it's not my egg that picks a bone, the administrative efficiency of your Linshi City City Lord's Mansion seems to be a little low."

"When we came, we had your people prepare all the financial information for the past twenty years in Linshi City, and now that you have returned, they have not yet sent the materials......

"Or are they deliberately stalling for time and trying to hide something from us?"

Ren Tianxiang deliberately said the last sentence very slowly, and approached Zou Chang, wanting to give him a nervous feeling.

This is what Ren Tianxiang learned from modern TV dramas, although he knew that it was only for film and television shooting, so it was so exaggerated, but Ren Tianxiang still learned to use it. After all, Zou Chang has not watched those modern TV series, and he doesn't know the routines.

In fact, Ren Tianxiang's real intention was actually to prevent Zou Chang from seeing that he had no experience.

He was a minister appointed by the emperor himself, so naturally he couldn't show how young he was in front of Zou Chang, he was sure that even if Zou Chang knew his identity and sent someone to assassinate him, most of them wouldn't know his details - after all, he hadn't shown up in the procuratorial department of the Star Emperor before, and Zou Chang couldn't find out even if he wanted to.

And his actions seem to have really worked.

He saw the corners of Zou Chang's mouth twitch, and then showed an ugly smile, and then he explained:

"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood my subordinates. In fact, they have already prepared the information to be handed over to you, but I still have to hand over such important information to you in person, so let them wait for me to come back. ”

While speaking, Zou Chang took out a storage ring and handed it to Ren Tianxiang.

"Because the financial information for 20 years is really complicated, I asked my subordinates to install it with storage rings, otherwise the whole living room would not be able to fit. ”

Speaking of this, Zou Chang let out two honest whispers, he pointed to the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, and continued to say to Ren Tianxiang: "My lord, I have asked my subordinates to prepare office rooms for your adults, the space there is spacious, and you can go there to complete the procuratorial work. ”

"You have a heart. Ren Tianxiang nodded and took the storage ring, then turned around and walked a few steps, handing the storage ring in his hand to Hu Yaoyu.

Hu Yaoyu hurriedly took the storage ring, for fear that he would lose it by accident.

Among the four people present, I am afraid that only he and Zou Chang know how important these materials are, these materials are related to all the financial trends of Linshi City in the past 20 years, and those who know can easily read the business trends of Linshi City in recent years from these materials.

If you take these materials and sell them on the black market, I am afraid that the high price of 10,000 gold coins will not be able to take this vital information, and if you add a zero after this price, Hu Yaoyu can barely feel that it is possible.

This is enough to prove how important this information is, but Ren Tianxiang still has to act like he doesn't care, which really makes Hu Yaoyu feel a little painful.

After Hu Yaoyu put away the storage ring, Ren Tianxiang stretched out a hand and said to Zou Chang: "Then Zou Chang, city lord, lead the way." ”

Zou saw Ren Tianxiang so refreshing, so he immediately made a "please" gesture and took Ren Tianxiang and the three out of the living room.

Ren Tianxiang didn't have any objection to Zou Chang arranging their office space in the City Lord's Mansion, even if their actions would be monitored by the City Lord's Mansion because of this.

Ren Tianxiang actually knows very well how complicated all the financial information in Linshi City will be in the past 20 years, and Zou often said that a whole living room may not be able to fit this sentence, maybe it is also true.

And it is not easy to find a suitably sized office in Linshi City, since Zou Chang has already prepared it for them, Ren Tianxiang will not be polite.

As for the question of the possibility of being monitored by Zou Chang...... Ren Tianxiang has Wang Hongyu, a saint-level monk, by his side, if Zou Chang dares to insert eyeliner, I am afraid that Wang Hongyu will find out at the first time.

As Zou Chang turned left and right in the complex of the City Lord's Mansion, they finally entered an office that had been vacated. The office was three times the size of the meeting room, and it wouldn't be too crowded even if their entire team of seven inspectors were to enter it.

"Nice office. Ren Tianxiang nodded lightly, then bowed lightly to Zou Chang and said, "Then we won't delay Zou Chang's city lord in the future." We will carry out the investigation on our own, Lord Zou Chang, please go back. ”
