Chapter 54 The Martial Arts Will Begin

Xu Chuan sighed, and said in a very light tone: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and even the emperor's family is no exception."

Zhang Xiyun was silent, he couldn't understand the truth Xu Chuan said, even before going down the mountain, he also had the same doubts, why the emperor couldn't save his son.

"I shouldn't have talked to you so much today, but I have a problem, that is, I can't control my mouth. After Xu Chuan finished speaking, he instructed again.

Zhang Xiyun nodded and responded: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who is talkative."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, but he was stunned again, how did he seem to have become that kind of talkative person

The two talked all the way, and then they arrived at the courtyard where the criminal department interrogated, and after Xu Chuan led him in, he ordered someone to lead Zhang Xiyun to one of the rooms.

"There will be other officials of the Criminal Department entering the house later, you just need to explain to that lord what happened in the Martial Pavilion that day. Xu Chuan said.

Zhang Xiyun agreed, and followed the criminal department official into a room.

The interrogation room of the Criminal Department is simply furnished, only tables and chairs are placed in it, and there are not even windows, and the whole room is sheltered from the sun, but it is a bit like a so-called small black room.

Not long after Zhang Xiyun entered, a white-haired old man came in, he was dressed in the official office of the Criminal Department, holding a scroll in his hand, which seemed to be the case file.

The official of the Criminal Department sat directly opposite Zhang Xiyun, spread out the file, took out another brush, lightly wrote a few strokes on it, and said to Zhang Xiyun without raising his head: "You can start talking." ”

Zhang Xiyun was stunned, immediately reacted, sat up straight, and began to tell what happened in the Wu Pavilion. I don't know who he is, but he is telling the truth.

He was afraid that the old man would not be able to keep up with his speech, and deliberately slowed down a little, but found that the old man could write even faster than he spoke, and almost every word he spat out of his mouth, the old man had finished writing.

Zhang Xiyun couldn't help but speed up his speech, but the old man was still fast. Every time he spoke, the old man finished writing on the file.

"It is worthy of being the most unreasonable criminal department of the six departments, and even an old man who is responsible for recording the case is deeply hidden!" Zhang Xiyun was secretly surprised, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

After about a quarter of an hour passed, Zhang Xiyun roughly explained the things in the Wu Pavilion, and the old man took back the brush, closed the file, and then stood up and walked outside the house, and said at the same time: "You can leave." ”

"When you meet a resolute old man, it won't be a rush to get off work," Zhang Xiyun said in his heart. He also stood up and walked out.

Xu Chuan was still waiting for him outside the door, and when he saw the old man coming out, he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Old Chen, go slowly." ”

When Zhang Xiyun saw this scene, after the old man left, he leaned in front of Xu Chuan and asked, "Who is that old man?" Even Brother Xu, you respect him so much. ”

Xu Chuan smiled, but shook his head and said, "I've told you too much today." You don't need to inquire about his old man, even if I said it, you don't know."

Zhang Xiyun smiled. said: "Brother Xu, if you are willing to introduce me, I won't know"

Xu Chuan gave him a blank look, then walked towards the door with a smile, "I don't want to be a talker anymore!"

Zhang Xiyun couldn't help but roll his eyes and left with him.

The two of them went back and forth on their way, laughing to themselves as they walked. Suddenly, Xu Chuan's expression changed and he stopped.

Zhang Xiyun looked at it suspiciously, only to see two middle-aged men walking in front of him.

Both of them are wearing the flying fish robe that catches fast, but it is different from Xu Chuan's navy blue, but a golden dress. The cloak behind him is also gold-edged white satin, and a jade order hangs from his waist.

Xu Chuan hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiyun to the side and respectfully waited for the two to walk by.

Zhang Xiyun secretly raised his eyes and looked, these two men were about forty years old, but if they were monks, I am afraid that it would be difficult to say if they had lived for hundreds of years, but they could not be judged by this.

One of them is ordinary-looking, but with a upright temperament, while the other is dignified, but always frowning, when Zhang Xiyun looks at him, he always feels a sense of déjà vu between his eyebrows.

When the two of them walked by, Xu Chuan hurriedly saluted and said, "Xu Chuan, the head of the North City Silver Order, has seen Lord Zhang and Master Sheng!"

Zhang Xiyun's heart was shocked, these two people are the gods of the criminal department!

Sheng Yufang!

The two heard Xu Chuan's voice, stopped, and looked at Zhang Xiyun and the others.

"I know him, I heard that the three people of the Hua family were arrested by him yesterday and returned to the criminal department. The ordinary-looking man preached to another god.

"Oh?" said the other god, his tone cold and indifferent.

"Yes, the matter involves the Forbidden Dan, and it is better to kill by mistake than to let it go. The ordinary-looking god hunt said again, and then looked at the god hunt beside him.

The god caught a moment of hesitation and said, "It's considered meritorious, and in five days, I will go to Nanshi." ”

Xu Chuan was immediately overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Xu Chuan has thanked Lord Zhang and Master Sheng for their promotion!"

can be promoted from the North City to the South City, even if it is still only a famous silver order, but the future is definitely greater than wandering in the North City for a lifetime, no wonder Xu Chuan is so excited.

At this time, Zhang Xiyun's heart was also not calm, from the short conversation between the three of them, he had already heard that the man in front of him with a dignified appearance and a cold tone was his uncle, Zhang Tianyi, the first of the gods!

No wonder I always feel like I've seen him somewhere when I look at him? It's all because my uncle has the shadow of his grandfather Zhang Yong.

"Who is this person next to you?" Sheng Yufang asked Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan was overjoyed, and forgot Zhang Xiyun beside him for a while, and when he heard Sheng Yufang's question, he hurriedly signaled Zhang Xiyun with his eyes.

"The junior Zhang Xiyun has seen two gods. He saluted.

Xu Chuan took over and said: "Two adults, he is the one who worshiped the Hua family in the Wu Pavilion yesterday, and he was the first to discover the evidence of the Hua family's collusion with the Lingwu faction. ”

Zhang Xiyun listened to him in a cold sweat, although the Hua family did collude with Zuo Dao, but it was Taoyuan Township that colluded, not the Lingwu faction, Xu Chuan introduced himself in front of the two gods, which really made him a little embarrassed. for fear of being seen through by these two people

"Oh, that's you?" Sheng Yu said.

Zhang Xiyun smiled and said, "Lord Shenzhu recognizes me?"

Sheng Yufang turned his head to look at Zhang Tianyi, his tone was slightly ridiculous, and said, "I have also heard a little about the person who let Yan Jiujun scold Zhang Shenzhu in the air. ”

Zhang Xiyun had just stopped in a cold sweat. It came out again, and his face was full of embarrassment.

Zhang Tianyi didn't care, just said lightly: "Let's go, Old Chen is still waiting for us." ”

Sheng Yufang heard this and nodded.

Xu Chuan hurriedly said: "My subordinates also sent Zhang Xiyun away." ”

The two of them hummed and left.

When Zhang Tianyi left, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhang Xiyun's side face, but he was suddenly stunned.

When Zhang Xiyun and the others left, he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

"What?" Sheng Yufang asked.

Zhang Tianyi frowned. Turned around and said, "Nothing"

Sheng Yufang smiled: "Come less, I can't see if you have something in your heart?"

Zhang Tianyi sighed and said, "I just had a delusion, and from that young man's face, I seemed to see the shadow of Tianfan."

Sheng Yufang restrained his smile when he heard this, sighed to himself, and said, "For so many years, you haven't let go, and you want to come for another ten years." I still can't persuade you."

"I just don't understand why he didn't save Tianfan?"

"Is it really cold-blooded enough to watch Tianfan die?"

"But he never explained it to me, not even half a sentence"

Sheng Yufang understood. Zhang Tianyi's mouth is the first person in the world to be the emperor, even though he and Zhang Tianyi have been friends for many years, but they don't dare to judge the emperor, whenever this happens, he can only shut up.

Zhang Tianyi laughed as if laughing at himself. He knew the difficulties of his friends next to him, and he didn't mention it again, just said goodbye.

Sheng Yufang remembered the appearance of Zhang Xiyun and joked: "That young man is also surnamed Zhang, can't you say that Tianfan left a son back then?"

Zhang Tianyi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped his pace.

The speaker has no intention. Zhang Tianyi was the listener's intention

A few days have passed since Zhang Xiyun went to the Criminal Department, and it finally came to the day when the martial arts announced the list.

According to the previous rules, this martial proclamation should be announced on the outer city wall at noon.

It was almost noon, Zhang Xiyun set off from the inn and headed towards the city wall.

By the time he arrived at the city wall, there were already a lot of people gathered here, but not all of them were Wuju people, but there were more people who ran errands for Wuju people and did good deeds.

"I knew that I would also find a junior to run errands for me and bring back news, so I didn't have to come stupidly by myself. Zhang Xiyun sighed.

"I heard that this martial arts move is very likely to be a demon!"

Some people scoffed at this, "Punish the demon, you should know more about the situation if you talk nonsense, the demon has long been considered the most unlikely martial arts attempt!"

"That's right, don't listen to this person's nonsense, according to the information I have got, this martial arts is most likely to be a big competition in the ring, purely a competition of strength!"

"Hmph, Long Ting has long stopped recruiting people like you without brains, if you want me to say that the most likely thing is to let many martial artists go to a small secret realm!"

Zhang Xiyun listened to the eager discussion of the people around him, and became more and more curious in his heart, how will this martial arts exercise assess many martial arts people?

"The officials of the Ministry of Rites are here!" I don't know who shouted, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and many people looked behind them, and sure enough, they saw a man in the official uniform of the Ministry of Rites, slowly walking towards the city wall.

As soon as he approached, the crowd consciously gave way for the official of the Ministry of Rites to pass.

He walked under the city wall, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, slowly opened it, and placed it on the city wall.

Everyone hurriedly leaned over to look, and many of them read aloud as they watched.

"Wuju people went to the Ministry of Rites to verify their identity"

The martial arts are really strict, and it takes three times to check your identity alone.

"After that, listen to the examiner's arrangement"

"The location of this martial arts, the extreme west of Zhonghuangzhou"

"The content of the martial arts, enter the tomb of the ancient monk!?"

Zhang Xiyun finally saw the paper, but he never expected that this martial arts move would be selected in the tomb of an ancient monk, could it be that he was going to start a journey of tomb robbery notes in this land of five continents!? )
