176~177, how is this possible?
The fight between Chen Zheng and Xue Ruhai did not cause any storms.
However, the assassination of Qiao Yongpeng, the head of the government office, caused a lot of turmoil in Lingqiu County the next day.
Early in the morning, it was just dawn.
Chang Qing hurriedly knocked on the door and informed the commander Liu Yuanming to summon him.
Chen Zheng simply cleaned up and quickly went to the Supervision Department.
Arrived at the division.
In the meeting hall, Liu Yuanming's face was calm, sitting on the main seat, and the other three inspection envoys such as Huang Shihu, Song Chengjin, and Shen Li had also arrived.
After Chen Zheng sat down, Liu Yuanming looked at it at first glance and said in a deep voice:
"Chen Zheng, I heard that last night, you happened to bump into the chaotic party of Ge Tiandao?"
Chen Zheng nodded:
"Yes, we had just come out of the restaurant, and when we passed by Hengqu Street, we vaguely saw a figure suddenly flying over the roof. At that time, I didn't know the identity of this person, and I thought it was just an ordinary thief, but the people from the defense army chased after me, and we knew that the figure was actually the perpetrator of the assassination of Qiao's main book. ”
Liu Yuanming's calm face:
"Do you have a note of the man's physical features?"
Chen Zheng shook his head: "At that time, it was nearly the third watch, and it was dark, and the place where that person passed was quite far away from us, so his subordinates and others didn't see it clearly. ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Liu Yuanming was a little regretful, but Huang Shihu frowned and asked:
"My lord, dare to ask what happened to Master Qiao's assassination?"
Liu Yuanming's face is not very good-looking:
"According to the investigation, three rebels entered Joe's house last night. At that time, he had just slept in the concubine's house, and as a result, he was poisoned by the rebels;
These rebels were extremely vicious, and they did not kill Master Qiao at the first time, but cut off his limbs and even his lower body, and let him bleed to death, and the methods were extremely cruel. ”
This method can indeed be called cruel, Huang Shihu was surprised:
"What did Master Qiao do to let the people of Ge Tiandao do such a ruthless move?"
Shen Li, who had the most eyesight, said an honest word:
"This Qiao's official reputation is not very good, he likes to peel off his skin and bones, accept money, and cause many people to die, is it ......"
"What nonsense!?"
Liu Yuanming snorted coldly:
"What else can it be, how can you not offend people as an official, it's just that some untouchables are resentful and maliciously spread rumors."
When Chen Zheng heard this, his face was expressionless, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.
Last night, he also informed Ji Xunyi about this matter.
As a result, when the other party heard the news, he also clapped his hands and applauded again and again.
It turned out that although this Qiao Yongpeng was only one of the staff of the county guard, he was greedy for money, lustful, greedy, and greedy, and many powerful and evil gentry took the initiative to befriend him, and colluded to set up a bureau to embezzle other people's property and land, and easily ruined the bitter master's family.
One of his most famous deeds is that when this person was wandering on the street, he accidentally met the wife of a small merchant, who was beautiful and fascinated by him.
Qiao Yongpeng immediately had evil thoughts about him, and after he went back, he investigated the identity of the other party, and then used his own power to influence, and within a few days, he mobilized the Criminal Arrest Division, framed the small businessman as a cultist, and 'searched' the cult scriptures in his home, and then exiled his family.
The small businessman died inexplicably halfway through exile, and his wife and his family business fell into the hands of Qiao Yongpeng after several tosses.
Just an evil idea, a master book can make people without a background easily ruin, and the wolves and beasts are more vicious than snakes and scorpions.
What this person did, the evil of the wind and criticism, how many people mentioned it were gritting their teeth, and being tortured and killed by the Heavenly Dao was completely self-inflicted.
And this Liu Yuanming was in the Huang family's mansion on the spot, and when he caught the opportunity, he also knocked on the bone and sucked the marrow, and he was all the way, otherwise he would not have pretended to be a lake.
"Alright."
No one knew what Chen Zheng was thinking, and Liu Yuanming continued:
"Qiao Yongpeng is a staff member of the county guard, but he was tortured and killed by the rebels, the nature of this matter is extremely bad, the county guard was extremely angry when he learned about it, and he has personally ordered that the Supervision Department and the Criminal Arrest Department work together to find out the real culprit and bring him to justice within half a month.
I want the four of you to mobilize all the forces in your hands, and be sure to find out this gang of rebels, if nothing is found or the Criminal Arrest Division takes the lead, I have no shame to go to see Lord Commander, understand!? ”
Half a month......
Song Chengjin and Shen Li looked at each other:
"Lord Liu, this group of Ge Tiandao is very good at hiding, only half a month, I'm afraid it will ......"
Liu Yuanming raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but suddenly saw a figure and suddenly strode into the conference hall.
When he came to the hall, he smiled and bowed his hand, and said:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, please forgive me."
Chen Zheng swept his gaze and saw that it was a young man with starry eyebrows and sword eyes and a heroic appearance, no more than thirty years old.
Although the people are wearing the same brocade robes as them, there is an indescribable rebelliousness between Gu Pan, even if they are saying sorry, they are equal and even condescending to Liu Yuanming, a superior.
Is this person ......?
"Teng Qilong?"
Sure enough, as he thought, Liu Yuanming looked at the person who came, and his expression was unhappy and a little helpless:
"Why, you finally remembered that you are still a member of the Supervision Department?"
Teng Qilong smiled slightly, and his eyes swept over the faces of Chen Zheng and the others present one by one:
"Lord Liu laughed, how can I not remember this? I was at the moment of breakthrough before, so I went back to retreat and practiced for a while, but when I came out, I learned that the thieves of the Heavenly Dao had actually appeared, so I was ordered by the head of the family to make a contribution. ”
Liu Yuanming's eyes were a little unsettled:
"So, you've broken through three blood exchanges?"
Teng Qilong said indifferently:
"I just broke through, and I made the adults laugh."
As soon as these words came out, except for Chen Zheng, the eyes of Huang Shihu and the others suddenly changed.
To sum it up in one word, it is envy, jealousy and hate.
Teng Qilong in front of him is the third son of the Teng family, and he is still less than thirty years old.
At the age of less than thirty, he was promoted three times and changed blood, such an amazing achievement, how can people not be jealous?
Even if their top boss Liu Yuanming is over forty years old now, he has only changed blood three times so far!
Of course, all of them knew that the Teng clan's power was so strong that it was extraordinary, and Teng Qilong must have taken an unknown amount of treasure medicine in addition to his superior talent.
Even if you are jealous, you can't be jealous.
"Very well, since you are here, then our Supervision Department has another strength."
People are more popular than people, Liu Yuanming is also jealous in his heart, and said with a smile:
"Okay, time is limited, you guys hurry up and start acting, whoever finds the first accurate clue will definitely be rewarded!"
The people immediately agreed and dispersed.
When it comes out.
Song Chengjin, who was the best at drilling, wanted to go over and make friends with Teng Qilongtao, but he didn't know that the other party didn't look at him and left proudly.
Of course, including Chen Zheng and Huang Shihu and several other colleagues, the other party also ignored them completely, as if they didn't bother to talk to them.
Looking at the back of the other party leaving proudly, Chen Zheng's eyes were a little playful:
"This Teng disciple is really arrogant enough."
Huang Shihu on the side seemed to be commonplace, and sneered:
"Nine out of ten people from the Celestial Clan are like this, nothing unusual. If this Teng Qilong hadn't been born in the Teng clan, it wouldn't be a big deal! ”
These words were full of sourness and resentment, Chen Zheng shook his head and diverted the topic:
"How about it, do you have any news channels for Ge Tiandao?"
Huang Shihu sighed and said:
"The channels are still those, I can only say that I do my best, the Heavenly Dao has developed over the years and has become deeper and deeper, but it is much more difficult to find than those evil Dao and demon Dao forces, I want to find the murderer in half a month, unless they are stupid and take the initiative to jump out."
Chen Zheng also thought so: "That's what I said. ”
After saying a few words, the two dispersed.
Chen Zheng found Chai Tiefeng, Chang Qing, Ding Laiyou, and Han Kaiyun, four of his subordinates, and also ordered them to go down.
It's just a command.
Whether these four people can find it or not, whether they can find it or not, he doesn't care at all.
After all, he is not a real court eagle dog, and Ge Tiandao has no grievances with him, and what he does is quite appetizing to him, so why should he bother to find trouble with him?
So, for the next few days, he was in a hurry on the surface, and he couldn't see anyone every day, and he seemed to be going all out to investigate the clues of the chaos of the Heavenly Dao;
In fact, after he finished ordering, he was routinely rotten and went home to practice.
At the same time, inquire about the news from time to time, and pay attention to whether there are high-quality internal cultivation methods;
On the other hand, it is also waiting for the poisonous snake hidden in the shadows of the Blood Spirit Dao, in order to solve the problem once and for all.
But as time passed, there was no news of either of them.
In a hurry, Chen Zheng had no good way to do this, so he could only cultivate silently and wait for the opportunity.
"Not Bad King Kong", "Heavenly Providence Four Elephant Knife", "Fire and Thunder Fist", "Celestial Star Stepping Step", "Heavenly Eye Alchemy" ......
Although the days of skipping work are leisurely, he has almost no leisure.
The cultivation of these martial arts alone took up a lot of time, making him eager to conjure up a spiritual time house, and use it as a year a day.
Unfortunately, it can't be conjured.
However, even though the time was so tight, the progress of each of his exercises was like a flying progress.
The first is "Not Bad King Kong", after passing the tempering of this time, the promotion is finally completed, and he has completely entered the level of the red bronze body, and his strength defense has been taken to the next level.
As for the knife technique, fist technique, and footwork, they have gradually developed from entering the hall to the level of perfection.
Not to mention the Tianmu Alchemy Technique, Chen Zheng spent one of the best time and energy on this technique, not only had the realm reached the point of being a small one, but the strange nightmare that affected the spirit never appeared again.
It is in such a steady growth and change of strength.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month has passed.
this day.
"What?"
Chen Zheng looked at Chang Qing who came to spread the news with some surprise:
"The Assassin of the Heavenly Dao has been caught? Who caught it? ”
As if he felt that he had been busy all these days in vain, Chang Qing sighed and said:
"Naturally, it's the Teng Commander."
"Teng Qilong?"
Thinking of this person, Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows:
"That Second Ancestor, how can you still have this kind of ability? How did he get caught? ”
Chang Qing hesitated:
"I don't know, it is said that the commander of the morning Teng personally went out and led people to arrest him. I only heard that those few Revolutionary Heaven Dao rebels used a small martial arts hall as a cover, the leader was called Ying Zong, who was the owner of the small martial arts hall, and the other two accomplices were his disciples, pretending to teach disciples in the martial arts hall on weekdays, but in private they were recruiting troops and assassinating officials. ”
Chen Zheng frowned:
"These three people are hiding so deeply, how did Teng Qilong find them out?"
Chang Qing shook his head:
"This subordinate doesn't know. However, the Teng clan has been operating in Lingqiu County for nearly a hundred years, and the influence is so great that it is unimaginable that it would not be surprising if he traced any clues through the Teng clan. ”
Chen Zheng also nodded and said in a deep voice:
"That's right. So, those three people are going to be imprisoned and beheaded? ”
"Not only is it to ask for beheading, is it going to be Ling Chi, and it is at the entrance of the Dongcheng vegetable market the morning after tomorrow, or the order of the county guard himself!"
Chang Qing quickly said:
"But the only one who will be Ling Chi is that Ying Zong, it is said that his two disciples were killed in the process of resistance, and Ying Zong survived. It's a pity that the legal net is restored, and he still can't escape the pursuit of our Supervision Department, and this time Commander Liu is afraid that he will show his face in front of the county guard. ”
Chen Zheng was not very happy when he heard this, and only sighed regretfully in his heart:
"Okay, I see, you can go."
Chang Qing asked with great interest:
"My lord, the day after tomorrow, the market entrance is chaotic, are you going?"
Chen Zheng glanced at him:
"Flesh and blood, what's there to see?"
After saying that, he waved it away.
Chang Qing retreated, staring at the other party's distant figure, Chen Zheng shook his head slightly and turned around, continuing to practice behind closed doors.
It is certainly regrettable that the members of the Heavenly Dao who want to be Ling Chi are choked, but he really can't do anything.
If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world, and he is far from having the capital to meddle in things.
Moreover, the Lingqiu County Government arranged for the Caishikou to be watched by people, and it was very likely that it was deliberately arranged to lure other possible members of the Heavenly Dao to come to the rescue.
Commonly known as fishing.
If someone really tries to save them, they will be caught in the net.
All kinds of thoughts flashed one after another, Chen Zheng took a deep breath, eliminated distracting thoughts, and prepared to continue the tempering of "Not Bad King Kong".
However, as soon as the posture was opened, a familiar sound came from outside the hospital.
He went to open the courtyard gate, and saw Ji Xunyi standing in front of the door, smiling and groaning:
"Brother Chen, are you free tonight, let's go have a few drinks?"
Among the several restaurants in Lingqiu County, the best wine tastes very good, and Chen Zheng has been cultivating for a long time these days, and he is very quiet:
"Okay, let's go!"
In fact, the wine in Xiangyulou is also very good.
A few fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged girls are fed, which is even better.
However, Ji Xunyi has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his style is decent, and he is embarrassed to take the other party to that kind of place to wander.
Soon, they came to a rather lively restaurant and sat down on the railing on the second floor.
After serving the wine and food, the two first drank a glass, and then Ji Xunyi opened the topic:
"By the way, Brother Chen, your Supervision Department has been tracking down Ge Tiandao recently, and it's been almost half a month, but what clues are there?"
Chen Zheng shook his head slightly:
"The people of the Heavenly Dao have been caught, and they will be executed by Ling Chi the day after tomorrow."
When Ji Xunyi heard this, he suddenly drank and was stunned:
"How is this possible?"
