294~295, great virtue and great goodness? Great evil!
Well?
Hearing the cell leader's words, Chen Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, and he stepped forward quickly and leaned over to check.
Under a check, Xue Ruhai's face was pale, his whole body was dyed red with bandages, his body was stiff, and his heart was completely empty, obviously he was already dead and could not die again.
Outrageous......
Chen Zheng suddenly raised his head and said sharply:
"Go and get the two jailers who executed yesterday!"
The cell boss didn't dare to say much, so he left in a hurry, and soon found Lao He and Lao Li with dark circles on their faces.
When they came to the cell, the two of them saw Xue Ruhai who had no breath on the ground at first glance, and they both said in disbelief:
"Chen, Master Chen, what is this?"
"You ask me?"
Chen Zheng's eyes stabbed at the two of them like knives:
"Tell me, aren't you very skilled in your so-called craft? Why did he die!?"
Lao He and Lao Li's faces turned pale, and they stepped forward tremblingly and looked at them carefully.
Then, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two:
"It looks like you died from blood loss?"
"No, we obviously used the best hemostatic powder, how could it be ......?"
Chen Zheng stared at the two of them tightly:
"Just because of blood loss?"
In front of him, Chen Zheng was like a fierce beast that wanted to choose people to devour, exuding an indescribable oppressive aura, Lao Li stubbornly said, "It seems to be ...... Whether it is possible to check it out or not."
Lao He gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Master Chen, we can't go wrong with our two experiences. This man has cultivated profoundly, and when he treated his wounds, he was given the best hemostatic medicine, and last night's punishment would never have cost him his life, and normally speaking, this would never be the case!"
Chen Zheng glanced at the two of them coldly, and then said to the cell leader, "Go and find them together!"
The cell boss should be busy, so he ran out again and brought back an old man in sackcloth who was over fifty years old.
The old man carried a wooden box on his back, hurried over, and saluted Chen Zheng:
"The villain is the supervisor of the department, I don't know what Lord Chen commands?"
Chen Zheng didn't have time to talk nonsense, and pointed to the corpse on the ground:
"Check for me what caused this person's death, and when it was about to die!"
After a continuous sound, he squatted down, opened the wooden box, and began the autopsy.
After a moment, he stood up solemnly:
"My lord, this man did die of blood loss, and there are no signs of poisoning or fatal wounds on his body."
Chen Zheng said coldly, "When did he die?"
He replied:
"According to the degree of blood clotting, it should be about an hour."
"How can this be.....
Hearing this, Lao He and Lao Li suddenly felt numb in their scalps, and they couldn't argue anymore, so they could only half-kneel on the ground and say with a sad face:
"Great, forgive your sins......
"I've never made a mistake before, and this accident wasn't intentional! We were clearly ......."
"I'll settle the account with you later!"
The dead man obviously couldn't speak anymore, Chen Zheng's thoughts flashed rapidly, and he didn't have time to hold the two responsible, so he left with a cold snort.
After leaving the prison, when he came to the school, he immediately summoned two officials:
"Inform Huang Shihu and Shen Li, bring someone with you, and go out with me to investigate the case!"
The two officials immediately agreed to leave, and after a while, Huang Shihu and Shen Li, two inspectors, each with more than 20 subordinates, rushed to the school field:
"Lord Chen, but the torture of that Blood Spirit Dao Demon has a result?"
The matter of capturing Xue Ruhai has been learned by other people in the division in the morning, and Chen Zheng faced the two of them:
"Not yet, but according to the available information, it is very likely that the Deshan Hall in the north of the city is related to the Blood Spirit Dao
, I want you soldiers to divide into two ways, all the way to Baiyulou, all the way to Deshan Hall with me to search, if anyone dares to resist, kill him!"
White Jade Building, Deshan Hall?
Huang Lihu Shen Li and the two of them felt a pang in their hearts: "Obey!"
Subsequently, under Chen Zheng's arrangement, Huang Shihu took people to Baiyulou, and he himself led Shen Li and went straight to Deshan Hall.
Deshan Hall is not too far from here.
Everyone traveled all the way, and after a while, they came to their destination, and directly surrounded Deshan Hall.
Deshantang is now famous in the city, and has gained a lot of people's hearts, so the battle of such a solemn battle suddenly alarmed many people on the street, and they paid attention to the salute.
And when he arrived at the Shantang, Chen Zheng led people to drive straight into the Shantang, and at this moment, the people in the Shantang heard the movement, because a large group of people hurriedly greeted them, with a look of fear:
"What is going on, this man?"
Among these people, there are beggars with missing arms and legs, and there are beggars who are as scrawny as wood, and it seems that most of them are helpers who have just joined the Shan Tang.
"I received a tip-off that you are suspected of harboring important court criminals here, and the Supervision Department is here to search!"
Chen Zheng glanced around:
"Whoever is in charge here, let him come out!"
Chen Zheng's voice just fell.
In the hall, a woman dressed in white walked out with several plainly dressed stewards: "The concubine is the founder of Deshan Hall, what does this master of the Supervision Department have to say?"
The woman's appearance is quite beautiful, like a hollow valley orchid, and her voice is also crisp and pleasant.
Chen Zheng, who saw the person who came, narrowed his eyes:
"You are the boss of the White Jade Building, white as smoke? Why are you here?"
"It's the concubine."
Bai Ruyan bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant:
"My lord said and laughed, this good hall is the same as Bai Yulou, it is the work of the concubine, and the concubine is now eating and living here most of the time, I don't know ...... you, adult?"
"Deputy Commander of the Supervision Department, Chen Zheng."
Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Bai Ruyan:
"I received a tip-off that there are suspected court criminals hiding bloody spirits in your good hall, and I am here to search today."
Bai Ruyan was taken aback and said:
"A key criminal of the Bloody Path? Could it be that you're mistaken?"
"Make no mistake, you don't count."
Chen Zheng sneered and glanced around:
"All of you are here? Huzi, dog, where are these two teenagers?"
Hearing these two names, many of the old and young people in the Shantang looked at each other, surprised and suspicious, as if they were curious about how Chen Zheng knew these two names.
No one answered for a long time, Shen Li took a step forward very cooperatively, glanced at everyone, and said sharply:
"Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, answer my family's questions!"
Many helpers were taken aback, but Bai Ruyan looked at them very calmly:
"Who are Huzi and Dogwa, why don't they come out?"
Among the helpers, a few teenagers hesitated and said:
"Sister Bai, the two of them seem to have run away last night......
"They were still there when we went to bed last night, and when we came this morning, we found that they were gone, and even their clothes were taken away."
"Very good......
If it was just a suspicion at the beginning, now Chen Zheng is sure that there is something wrong with Shantang, and looks at Bai Ruyan and sneers:
"These two teenagers provided some information to our Supervision Department at noon yesterday, and they disappeared at night? Boss Bai, do you think they ran away, or were they killed and killed?"
When the helpers of Shantang heard this, they were in an uproar.
Bai Ruyan was calm and composed, but frowned:
"Lord Chen, the concubine doesn't know what you're talking about. Deshantang comes and goes freely, and some of the helpers who come here are indeed not used to being here
The life of choosing to leave. You said that it is normal for these two teenagers to say goodbye even if they don't say goodbye, how can they be said to be murderous?"
Chen Zheng said indifferently:
"At this point, you're still talking so well here, are you taking all of us for fools? It's not just Huzi and Gouwa, these two teenagers, I have two subordinates who disappeared mysteriously because of the investigation of your Shantang, is it all a coincidence?"
"This ......"
Bai Ruyan's eyes condensed slightly:
"My lord, I don't know what you suspect of our good hall and what happened, but the concubine is doing a good job, and everything she does is to help the hard-working people, and she will not hide the dirt!"
"Really?"
Chen Zheng smiled:
"In that case, including you, everyone in the Shan Tang should come with us, if you haven't done it, the Supervision Department will naturally give you justice!"
No matter if it is as white as smoke, whether everyone present has anything to do with the Blood Spirit Dao or not, after bringing it back, there are means to check it.
And as soon as these words fell, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the helpers in Shantang all panicked.
In this world, in the eyes of the people, a place like the Supervision Department is by no means a good place, and if you go in, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, who dares to enter it without knowing it?
Chen Zheng naturally understood these people's worries, turned his head and shouted:
"Don't make a noise! The Supervision Department only arrests the evil demons related to the Blood Spirit Dao, and has nothing to do with ordinary people! The main purpose of bringing you people back is to investigate and inquire about the disappearance of people in the Shan Tang one after another, and I will let you back after the inquiry!"
Hearing Chen Zheng say this, the many helpers present were finally appeased a little and were not so afraid.
Bai Ruyan said slowly:
"Lord Chen, your so-called disappearance is just some chasing after the wind and shadows, and it has nothing to do with our Shantang, so you just come to the door to get people, is it unreasonable?"
"If you say it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant?"
Chen Zheng sneered:
"Again, since your Shantang has not hidden dirt, then go with us, and you will naturally return your innocence! Shen Li, search first to see if there is anything suspicious, and then take all the people away!"
"Yes!"
Shen Li immediately agreed, and then led a team of officials to scatter and search around.
Faced with such a situation, Bai Ruyan's eyes just flashed, and he didn't say anything.
Outside the good hall, the onlookers have already gathered a large area, and when they see the scene inside, they can't help but be surprised and discussed:
"What are the old men of the government doing? Boss Bai founded Deshan Hall, what a great merit this is, and how can it be investigated?"
"It seems to say that there is a bit of an evil sect in this Deshan Hall, not only are the helpers missing, but the officials who investigated are also missing?"
"What is missing is not missing, the official word has two mouths, is what they say is what it is!"
"Then what does this mean, are these officials ...... Did you deliberately use this as an excuse to scrape the oil and water?"
"Quite possibly...... Boss Bai's Bai Yulou is making money every day, otherwise it won't be able to support this good hall, and these officials are eyeing this piece of fat if they can't keep it!"
"Alas, how can this be, Boss Bai is a great good person, with mercy and compassion, such a good person is rare, if he is really targeted by these black skins, it will not be good......
"I heard that Boss Bai also has a wide range of contacts and connections, so he won't be ruined, right?"
"That's not necessarily, have there been fewer people who have been ruined by those old men over the years!"
The noise and discussion gathered together, and most of them had great sympathy and concern for Bai Ruyan, and secretly belittled and scolded the officials led by Chen Zheng.
In this regard, Bai Ruyan Deshan Tang's good deeds for nearly three consecutive months have gained people's hearts and gathered a large number of people's hope;
On the other hand, in today's world, corrupt officials and cruel officials are rampant, and ordinary people have become commonplace, and they dare not speak out.
In the courtyard, Chen Zheng's ears naturally heard outside the gate
buzzed and discussed, but he didn't have time to reprimand and argue, but secretly focused all his attention on Bai Ruyan, and a few people who looked like stewards in the Shan Hall.
Among these people, Bai Ruyan obviously has martial arts.
Although the other party's aura concealment skills are quite high, there is nothing to hide under Chen Zheng's inhuman perception.
Even if it is difficult to judge the specific cultivation realm, it can indeed be determined that it is at least above the level of blood exchange.
Of course, even if the other party has a blood exchange level cultivation, it won't mean anything for the time being, unless the other party directly shows the martial arts of the Blood Spirit Dao.
As for the other good hall stewards, one or two of them are also ordinary in blood and blood, not like people in the blood and spirit path.
That's it.
A moment later.
Shen Li and the other subordinate officials had already searched the entire Shantang, and came back to report, "Lord Chen, after the search is completed, we have found nothing suspicious, and there is no one else hiding."
"Okay."
It has been a night since the incident, and what is really has already been dealt with, Chen Zheng nodded without surprise, looked at Bai Ruyan, and said indifferently:
"Boss Bai, then please come with me!"
Bai Ruyan's willow eyebrows were slightly lame, and he said with a cold face: "The government investigates the case, and I and the common people should cooperate, since Lord Chen is suspicious, then let's take a trip."
After speaking, she flicked her sleeves coldly and took the initiative to walk towards the door.
Under Chen Zheng's gaze, Shen Li personally stepped forward and escorted him to the left and right.
The other errands took the stewards and helpers out of the church in batches.
Outside the good hall, the street was already crowded with people, and most of the people saw Bai Ruyan being escorted out, and they all looked at each other angrily and scolded one after another:
"What do you want to do! Why do you want to take Boss Bai away?"
"There are not many good people in this world, do you want to kill her too!?"
"Let go of Boss Bai, let go of Boss Bai!"
Maybe it's because of the overwhelming number of people, or maybe it's because Bai Ruyan's good deeds have indeed established great prestige, and the humble and timid peddlers, pawns, men, women, and children all shout and shout.
In the face of such a crowd, Shen Li's face was ugly, and he scolded again and again, pushing the blocking crowd away.
Bai Ruyan said in a loud voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for speaking for me. However, I am only here to cooperate with the Investigation Department. I'm as white as a cigarette and I'm not afraid of shadows, so let's all disperse, let's disperse!"
Behind her, Chen Zheng was expressionless and his eyes were cold.
These ordinary people don't know what's going on, so it's normal for them to react like this, and he has never regarded himself as a master, so there is no anger.
But this white as smoke behaves like this...... It's not like great virtue and great goodness, but like a big girl doing great evil!
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, the blocked crowd was rudely separated by a group of people who had always come, and then Liu Yuanming, the commander of the Supervision Department, led more than ten officials to appear in Chen Zheng's sight.
Well?
Chen Zheng was puzzled just now, and before he could speak, Liu Yuanming's eyes swept over, and he said urgently:
"Deputy Envoy Chen, what are you doing here, who allowed you to come to Deshan Hall to do anything?"
"Don't let them go yet!"
