Shi Ziling looked at Bai Qingshuang's pretty back and sighed, I don't understand why this little witch always shouts to seek revenge on herself?

I didn't expect that I had been hiding for so many days, but Bai Qingshuang had my hiding exposed. I knew that even if I covered my face, I should have changed my face first.

At this time, more and more auxiliary defense troops and defenders had rushed to Chen's house, and Shi Ziling was worried about the safety of Ma Yu and Chen Zhongping, so he hurriedly returned to Chen's backyard.

Fortunately, Ma Yu and Chen Zhongping were safe and sound, and Chen Zhongping was lying on the bed talking to Ma Yu.

The two of them were stunned when they saw Shi Ziling coming in, Ma Yu saw that Shi Ziling had taken off the face towel covering his face, and he didn't feel a little strange, and asked, "Why have you put the ...... on your face?"

Shi Ziling said: "I met Bai Qingshuang outside the Chen Mansion just now, and I was accidentally recognized by her, so I simply didn't hide." ”

Chen Zhongping looked at Shi Ziling's figure and dress, and then heard him call Bai Qingshuang's real name, and said in surprise: "You are ...... Shi Ziling? just now...... You saved me?"

Shi Ziling said: "Exactly, I originally wanted to come to see your sword wound, but I didn't expect to meet someone who wanted to take your life." That man's strength is extraordinary, do you know who he is?"

Chen Zhongping was silent, he couldn't imagine that their Chen family's father and son had repeatedly wanted to put Shi Ziling to death, but today it was Shi Ziling who saved his life, and he was a little dazed for a while.

Ma Yu said: "I asked him just now, and he was silent. Forget it, he is seriously injured now, let's let him rest more, and we will ask him later. ”

Shi Ziling said: "Brother Chen, it's okay if you don't want to say it for the time being, can you let me see the sword wound on your chest?"

Chen Zhongping was still silent, but silently closed his eyes, which could be regarded as acquiescence.

Shi Ziling stepped forward to carefully inspect the sword wound on Chen Zhongping's chest, in addition to seeing that Chen Zhongping was injured by a very narrow sword blade, he couldn't see anything too famous, so he had to walk out of the room with Ma Yu.

The two found a doctor to go in and re-bandage Chen Zhongping's wounds, and planned to leave Chen's mansion and go back.

At this time, a large number of sergeants had arrived one after another, surrounding the Chen Mansion. The first to arrive was Gu Fei, the deputy commander of the city defenders, and then Su Bairen, Zhao Xiong, Ma Dai and others all arrived one after another.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that the Chen family had another accident, and according to the sergeants on the periphery, several groups of masked people infiltrated the Chen Mansion that night, and Xu Sihai, the general of the assistant defense army who was responsible for protecting Chen Zhongping, and a doctor were killed on the spot, but Chen Zhongping was lucky to hold on to his life.

After Su Bairen arrived with all the officials, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Shi Ziling and Ma Yu standing outside Chen Zhongping's door, and then he was overjoyed.

Su Bairen stepped forward and grabbed Shi Ziling's hand and said, "General Shi, you are back, why are you here?"

Ma Yu said: "Ziling just returned to Songhu City today, and he was very interested in what happened to the Chen family after hearing me, and wanted to quietly come and see Chen Zhongping's injury. ”

"Master Su, you know that we have always had a lot of grievances with the Chen family, so we deliberately wore night clothes to come over, originally I didn't want to alarm anyone. I didn't expect it to be so lively here tonight, several groups of night walkers sneaked into Chen's mansion, and one of them had a top master who wanted to kill Chen Zhongping. Fortunately, Ziling arrived in time to make a move, and finally saved Chen Zhongping's life. ”

Although Xu Sihai died, but fortunately, Chen Zhong was safe and sound, everyone was very happy to see Shiziling come back, Songhu City finally had a mainstay, and everyone came forward to congratulate Shiziling.

Gu Fei said: "Ziling, congratulations on your promotion to the five-rank orthodox, your letter of appointment has already come down, just wait for you to come back, Lord Luo can officially confer the seal for you, and in the future, you will be the master of the stone." ”

Although Shi Ziling had already heard the news of his promotion in the "Proud Building", he could only make a rather surprised appearance at this moment, expressing great surprise.

Many officials and generals stepped forward to congratulate Shiziling, and everyone forgot for a while what they were here for.

After the congratulations were over, everyone came to the Chen family's living room and sat down, and Su Bairen said, "Ziling, do you know who is coming tonight and what their purpose is?"

Shi Ziling said: "There are indeed several groups of masked guests tonight, the most powerful one is the guy who wants to kill Chen Zhongping, I fought with this person for a short time, and I feel that this person's strength is not much different from mine." ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, it is said that Shi Ziling is now a top master who can tie with Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, even if the legend is exaggerated, but Shi Ziling's strength can also be seen. Shi Ziling actually felt that this assassin was not much different from him, so wouldn't this assassin at least have the strength of the top 20 in the United States?"

Everyone couldn't help but be a little frightened at the thought of such a powerful assassin lurking in Songhu City.

Shi Ziling said, "In addition to this assassin, there are two groups of people, one of whom is acting alone, and the other four are together. One of these four people was captured by Mu Baishuang, the deputy general of the general battalion who patrolled here, outside the Chen Mansion, and after tomorrow's interrogation, everyone should be able to know the identities of the four of them. ”

The officials were very excited when they heard that one person had been captured, but Su Bairen was a little worried when he heard it, and he asked Shi Ziling: "Ziling, do you know who these four people are?"

Of course, Shi Ziling knew that these four people were Luo Linhai and Qingcheng Sanjie, but because Ma Yu had already said that he had just returned to Songhu City today, he should not have seen Luo Linhai and the four before, so it was inconvenient to say it.

He had no choice but to shake his head and said, "I don't know where they come from, they don't seem to be here for Chen Zhongping, I saw these four people outside the house where Chen Gongzhao had an accident, maybe they went to that house to find out something?"

At this time, someone came to report that a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and passes were found in the room where Chen Gongzhao had an accident, and according to Chen's family, it should be the same batch of property that the Chen family was robbed ten days ago.

Ma Yu smiled when he heard this: "It turns out that after these four robbers heard the news of Chen Gongzhao's assassination, their conscience found that they secretly came back to return their property. Such robbers are really interesting, but it's a pity that when they fled, they were accidentally caught by Vice General Mu of the main camp, and now their details are about to be exposed, Ha Lu Ha ......"

The more Su Bairen listened, the more frightened he became, it seemed that the news that the Duanmu family got was not wrong at all, and after listening to it, the four robbers who came to return the property were clearly Luo Linhai and his three followers, and now that one of them was captured, he was bound to tear his face with Luo Linhai, how could this be good?

Su Bairen thought about it, he really had a headache, although he wanted to catch the murderer of Chen Gongzhao, but he didn't want to offend a big man like Luo Linhai and Luo Wangye.

In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "Ziling, you are now the commander of the five grades, and you can lead more than 30,000 troops alone according to the law." The assassination of Chen Gongzhao is not a trivial matter, and I have decided to give you full authority to take charge of this matter, I hope ...... I hope you can find out the real culprit as soon as possible, so that the people of Songhu City can rest assured. ”

Shi Ziling and Ma Yu both saw that Su Bairen was afraid of offending Luo Linhai directly, and pushed this problem to Shi Ziling, at least Shi Ziling had enough strength to face Luo Linhai, the number one master in the capital, even if Luo Linhai wanted to turn his face, the first person to deal with was Shi Ziling.

As for who the real culprit is, it is not so important in Lord Su's heart at this moment.

Shi Ziling said: "I haven't officially granted the seal yet, so I think it's better for Master Su to personally supervise such an important case." ”

Su Bairen hurriedly said: "I will go and ask Lord Luo to give you a seal early tomorrow morning, so that you can rightfully supervise this case." Ziling, you also said that the assassin who assassinated Chen Gongzhao was very strong, besides you, who else in Songhu City could take on this important task? ”

"By the way, I'll give an order later, and let Deputy General Mu of the general camp send the captured person to your southern camp for you to dispose of first, and we'll make up our minds. ”

"It's already late today, except for the person responsible for protecting Chen Zhongping's safety, everyone else should go back and rest early, early tomorrow morning, I will go and ask Lord Luo to come to officially seal the Ziling, everyone remembers to come and participate." Okay, now everyone is gone. ”

When the officials heard that Su Bairen had handed over the investigation and assassination of Chen Gongzhao to Shi Ziling, they were all greatly relieved. These people are all human spirits, although they don't know the truth, they also know that this matter is not trivial, and they also implicate the prince of the dynasty, Luo Linhai, one is careless, but it is endlessly troublesome.

Shi Ziling's strength is indisputable, and now that a new official has taken office, it is really good that he has full power.

Everyone stepped forward again to congratulate Shi Ziling on taking on the responsibility, and then dispersed one by one.

Shi Ziling and Ma Yu looked at each other, and secretly sighed that these guys are very good at shirking responsibility, and they handed over all such difficult cases to Shi Ziling alone so quickly.

Shi Ziling sighed: "It seems that being an official is really a science, and I can be regarded as a teacher today." ”

Ma Yu said with a smile: "You have been promoted and made a fortune recently, and it is time for you to do more things, you can't let you take advantage of all the good things, right?" We're going to give the seal tomorrow, so let's go back early." ”
