Chapter 1073: Into the Pit
Although I didn't rest all night, I was surprisingly refreshed.
When I left Tianjin, Lian Lao came to see me off with a complicated expression, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.
He arched his back at me and asked me if I would regret it in the future, maybe the Panlong Jade Pendant could really stimulate the hidden blood in the human body without side effects, and the number of disciples of the Zhang family would definitely increase at that time.
And for this jade pendant, which is known as an ancient treasure, we have not studied it at a deeper level, and there may be other unknown functions.
I shrugged my shoulders and didn't say anything about Lian Lao's words. I know that he is making a final effort, for the sake of Zhang Lao's face, trying to win me over, at least if I really cooperate with them, then I don't need to waste so much manpower and energy, and I can save a lot of things.
It's just that I already have a decision in my mind, so I don't want to deal with him at all.
"Ha, I've even learned the old man's skills, you should have a good harvest from joining forces with the heavens, right, I'm not involved. However, if I encounter a celestial person outside, I will not show mercy, and sooner or later, I will completely drive this greedy race out of the world. ”
I looked at Lian Lao fixedly, and my eyes swept over the people who came out to see me off, including Lian Chen, and a few people from the Ma family, but I never saw Ma Lao.
Presumably stayed by Zhang Lao's side.
The patriarchs of the four major families have a deep friendship with each other, and even now that they are divided into two sides, they still remember the old feelings.
Therefore, although I was extremely reluctant to boldly leave Zhang Lao here as a hostage, I never worried about his safety.
After glancing around, he finally fixed on Lian Chen, who was a little pale.
I know that this incident has hit her hard, but we are all just members of different families, and the most important thing is to obey the command of the patriarch.
Fortunately, although I have not yet officially taken over the Zhang family, Mr. Zhang has always been quite tolerant of me, and he encouraged me to do many things that seemed hopeless to me.
With Lian Chen, I must be very happy.
Thinking of this, I grinned, and all kinds of emotions came to my heart, making my eyes itch a little, "Let's go, I'll have time to contact in the future." ”
Lian Chen smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
"Zhang Yan, why don't you leave?"
Bai Ling, who was pulling my sleeve, looked up and asked me, her shiny eyes were very cute, I touched her head, and thought that I might be a guy with a serious female complex.
"I've told you a few times not to call me by my name, people still think you're rude. I pretended to be unhappy and gave little Lori a white look, but people didn't take me seriously at all, nodded in response and continued to call my name.
"Oh, got it. Now you can go, Zhang Yan. Bai Ling urged, dragging me a little harder.
Chen Ming, who was watching from the sidelines, held back a smile, and his handsome face was reddened.
Fortunately, Xiangxiang was sensible, covered her mouth and laughed for a while, and then took the lead in activating the speed charm, and her figure disappeared in place in a flash.
The brother surnamed Chen followed, and I took Bai Ling helplessly to follow, and the moment I turned around, I seemed to see Lian Chen frowning and glancing at the little girl who was holding me tightly, but the speed charm had already been urged, and I didn't have time to see it clearly.
Five minutes later, I was standing on the land of the Forbidden City, surrounded by familiar faces, all disciples of the Zhang family.
"Hehe, don't be stupid, have you received the task?"
The task in my mouth is naturally the search of suspicious places in the Forbidden City, as well as various supernatural events that have been submitted to the police station but cannot be solved for the time being.
There is also a reason for letting Xiangxiang come back early.
The Forbidden City is the first city I chose to clean up, as a central city, although the area is not as large as Tianjin, etc., but in terms of important hubs, it is not very simple.
Xia Feiyang's movements were quite fast, and in a few hours he gave me the whole piece of ruffian opposite the Zhangjia Hotel, and now everyone in the Zhang family has chosen their favorite house decoration in this brand-new high-end community as their new home in the Forbidden City.
Most of the clansmen knew that this should be their new place to stay, and they should live there for a long time.
Happily, most of the houses in the Xingye community are finely decorated, only the small high-rise buildings leaning on the outside have not been renovated, and the price is not very high.
We discussed it a little, and several clansmen decided that it would be better to rent out those houses that had not been hardcovered, which could be regarded as another kind of income for the Zhang family.
As for the other Zhang family's collaterals, they originally made a living by doing business and so on, and they only needed to transfer these industries to the Forbidden City.
After briefly explaining the peripheral matters, I plan to call it a day. However, Xiangxiang took a lot of information to me, and when I took it, it turned out that all of them were strange cases in the Forbidden City, and even several cases had been accumulated by the police for a long time.
"I'm going, why are there so many things?"
The corners of my mouth twitched a little, Xiangxiang hugged several dossiers over, Chen Chong walked over and took them and put them in front of my eyes one by one, that look was just for me to see.
"When I talked to Xia Feiyang about the ownership of the community, he asked me if I wanted to settle in the Forbidden City, and I said that I planned to do so for the time being, so he gave it to me, and said that you will definitely agree. ”
Xiangxiang spread her hands and told me in a good mood, I was embarrassed to say that she was so easy to deceive, and she was fooled by Xia Feiyang's little bastard.
Damn, when did Lao Tzu say that he would agree? It was obvious that he thought Xiangxiang was easier to deceive, so he took advantage of the situation to fool others.
Besides, when I first talked to Xia Feiyang about this, why didn't I see him proposing to deal with so many supernatural events?
Even if it's my job, I can't do it for nothing, especially if he stuffed it into me.
Staring at the file in front of me depressedly, I was embarrassed to say Xiangxiang, after all, Chen Chong, a big man, was still standing straight behind the people, and I had no doubt that if I said the wrong thing, I would definitely be beaten by this guy.
So I had an idea, and directly called Xia Feiyang again, knowing that I wouldn't let Xiangxiang find Xia Feiyang if she had something to do, and it didn't seem so unacceptable that I would have one more messenger in the middle.
Xia Feiyang answered the phone quickly this time, and his tone was extremely polite, almost to the point of patting me on the back.
My eyes blinked, and although it was very useful, I was still a little unaccustomed to it.
So I relieved myself and asked him what was the matter with so many files.
"Ah, what Brother Zhang said is the recent supernatural events in the Forbidden City. I haven't been able to find a suitable person to solve it before, and the Great Xia Kingdom really has a headache, so I can't ignore the life and death of the people, right? However, I don't dare to let people judge the case casually, they are all tendons, wouldn't it be more embarrassing if they make a mistake?"
I didn't wait for Xia Feiyang to finish muttering, and directly interrupted him, "So you threw them all to me?"
"Well, it's not a lot, it's just the most recent......"
The guy spoke like a deflated ball, and the more he talked, the quieter his voice became, and I sneered, "Well, it's recent, it turns out that the case from thirty years ago was also 'recent', I really opened my eyes." ”
Xia Feiyang smiled dryly, and patted me on the back with all his might, what is the most powerful Taoist priest in the Great Xia Kingdom, he has great ability, the Zhang family is mighty or something, I am in a good mood when I hear it.
Who handed over that kid to talk flamboyantly, how do I think the spineless fool I saw for the first time was much more reliable than this not-so-faceless guy on the phone.
Being praised like this all the time, to be honest, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I'm a little embarrassed, so it's worth agreeing vaguely, just a few unclear words, Xia Feiyang is already happy.
Seeing that the dossier in front of me was piling up higher and higher under the efforts of Xiangxiang and Chen Chong, I could only sigh helplessly, and then obediently sat on the sofa and began to pick up and read one by one.
It is important to destroy the base of the celestials, but now that the Lian family and the Ma family have joined forces with the celestials, I can't go and destroy the bases of the celestials with such fanfare.
After all, there may be people from the Lian family or the Ma family in it, right?
I was worried about this, and I was a little depressed, why did Zhang Lao not want to completely break away from the other three families.
Unfortunately, there is no way, and I can only do what Mr. Zhang said.
I chose a single-family villa with some inside, not because the location and decoration style here are the best, but because the feng shui here is good, and it happens to be the place where the yang energy is the strongest in the whole Forbidden City, so there is no wandering soul here, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary work.
With a somewhat drowsy head, I first looked at some of the files that Xiangxiang had given me that were relatively recent, most of them were within this month.
When I looked at it, it was either a missing person, or a love killing, suicide or something like that. At first glance, I really haven't found any souls involved.
Is Xia Feiyang cheating on me?
Think he's thrown all the cases he can't complete at the police station to me?
I flipped a page and looked down at the ten lines.
"Would you like to help?"
With the help of Xiangxiang and Chen Chong, they finally moved all the files given by Xia Feiyang, and both of them were sweating profusely, which shows how terrifying the number of these files is.
"Cheng, you two look there, if you think it's abnormal, take it aside first, and let's just get back together. ”
Oh pointed to the study on the side, this well-decorated villa has very good furniture, it looks empty, so it can pile up a lot of things, I chose a room closer to the location, it just happens that there are high bookshelves installed inside, three walls are like this, it should be able to put a lot.
Watching the two of them move the files in their hands into the study, I pulled my eyes back, but I really saw a problem at this glance.
