298~299, tear your face!
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Zheng received the news that he had been suspended for reflection.
The Supervision Department was in an uproar and shocked, and the vast majority of the officers did not understand why Chen Zheng, who had a promising future before, was suddenly knocked into the dust because of such a trivial matter.
But Chen Zheng himself didn't have much reaction to this.
A mere deputy commander was originally bought with money, and in his opinion, it was like a joke, even if he completely took off this official robe, there was no pity.
And the next day, in the evening.
Thunder Martial Arts Dojo.
Yun Lan and Ji Xunyi hurriedly walked into the backyard house, and Chen Zheng, who was waiting in the house, immediately got up:
"Senior brother and sister, how is the situation?"
Yun Lan quickly said: "Just like a few days ago, that Bai Ruyan still personally led people out to give porridge today, and has just returned to Deshan Hall. ”
"I'm still in the mood to give porridge, it seems that I have no fear."
Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes:
"Are there any suspicious people around her, including the White Jade Tower?"
Yesterday's manhunt was a failure.
Including the Yellow Lion Tiger who went to Baiyulou, only halfway through the search, he was ordered by Liu Yuanming to call a meeting.
In addition, Chen Zheng was suspended today, so he naturally didn't know about Bai Yulou's situation, so he could only rely on the investigation of the disciples of the martial arts dojo.
"At the moment, no. The stewards of Shantang are all natives of Lingqiu County. ”
Ji Xunyi sneered:
"But I bought two helpers and asked carefully, whether it is Shantang or Bai Yulou, there are two or three groups of people to take turns to rest, presumably when I get the news, Bai Ruyan has already replaced the people in question, so it is naturally difficult to find."
In the house, Lei Yunting frowned when he heard this:
"No wonder this woman has no fear, it seems that she thinks we can't take her?"
Chen Zheng's eyes flashed, and he smiled:
If she did, she was very wrong. Since I don't wear that skin, I don't have to tell them any rules when I act. Master, I'm going to go and capture that white as smoke directly at night, so I naturally know what the Blood Spirit Dao is plotting about. ”
Ji Xunyi was very moved when he heard this:
"This is a good way to cut through the mess with a quick knife, looking at the appearance of the Blood Spirit Dao, it is obvious that the plot is wrong, this Bai Ruyan's identity is not low, and he has been captured, I am not afraid that the Lord of the Blood Spirit Dao Altar will not show his feet."
Lei Yunting also nodded slightly:
"Extraordinary times do extraordinary things, and what Lao Wu said is reasonable. However, the situation in the good hall is unknown, so it is too risky for you to go, so I will accompany you for the teacher. ”
Chen Zheng, Ji Xunyi, and Yun Lan were stunned, and looked at Lei Yunting in front of them hesitantly:
"Master, will you come with us too?"
"Of course."
Lei Yunting smiled:
"What if the Blood Spirit Dao Altar Lord is ambushed in the Good Hall? They have already taken precautions, and it is natural for the teacher to add a layer of insurance for you. Also, your senior brother, as the deputy lieutenant of the Evil Division, although he can't completely get out at night, he can patrol the surroundings, and he can also lead people to deal with any situation. ”
Lei Yunting's arrangement was meticulous, even if Chen Zheng was not afraid of the Blood Spirit Dao Altar Master at all, he would not refuse this kindness, and immediately nodded:
"Okay, then my Senior Brother Ji, Master goes in, Senior Sister stays outside to respond!"
Everyone nodded.
After waiting for a while, Yun Lan took out the black daze that had been prepared and asked everyone to put it on.
Outside, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is full of darkness, which is a good time.
Seeing that the time was about the same, the four people who had changed their clothes pushed the door out, silently crossed the wall of the martial arts arena, and swept in the direction of Shantang.
Not to mention Lei Yunting and Chen Zheng, even the weakest Yun Lan had the cultivation of exchanging blood twice, and the four of them were like ghosts in the dark, fluctuating, and the patrols that walked by from time to time on the street were not aware at all.
It's just a moment of effort.
Chen Zheng returned to the street where Deshan Hall was located, and came to the back door with familiarity.
Listening attentively, he made sure that there was no one behind the wall, Yun Lan stayed outside, and Chen Zheng and the other three figures jumped and fell into the backyard of Shantang, and their eyes sparkled with cold light and looked around.
Collecting information has already known the general layout of the interior of the Shan Tang, and Chen Zheng is now a master of the arts, so he went straight to the front of the main house and listened attentively.
As for Ji Xunyi, he just looked on guard, guarding the surroundings, and Lei Yunting stepped forward to Chen Zheng's side to escort him.
I heard a faint aroma of fat powder and a slight breathing sound coming from the room, which was obviously a room where a woman lived.
Chen Zheng turned around and made a gesture, then slowly drew his knife, easily cut off the deadbolt of the inner buckle, and pushed the door in.
Call!
In a single step, he had already jumped into the house, and then the eagle caught a chicken and grabbed the sleeping figure on the bed in the bedroom.
"Hmm!"
The figure on the bed was covered by Chen Zheng's mouth and nose, and suddenly woke up, and then let out a whimpering sound in infinite horror.
Well?
Not as white as smoke!
The woman who was held didn't seem to have martial arts, and at this moment, Chen Zheng found that the person caught by himself was definitely not white as smoke, and his eyes changed slightly:
"Who are you? Why is it here, where is the white smoke? ”
The other party just shook his head in infinite horror, his eyes full of begging for mercy.
The woman's height and body shape are the same as Bai Ruyan, and her appearance is even more similar, Chen Zheng condensed his voice into a line, and said coldly:
"I will let go of my hand and answer my questions in a whisper, if you dare to hide or alarm others, you will bear the consequences!"
The woman nodded frantically with a desire to survive, and then after Chen Zheng opened her hand lightly, she said in a panic:
"I, I'm Miss Bai's maid, she's not feeling well for the past two days, and she doesn't have time to go out to give porridge, so she will let me pretend to be her, and let me stay in this good hall for two nights......"
Bai Ruyan's move was obviously to guard against himself and others, and Chen Zheng's eyes were even colder:
"Where is Bai Ruyan hiding now? And her secrets, how much do you know? ”
The woman's face was full of panic and panic:
"This, this lord, I am just a maid, if Miss Bai is not here, it should be in my own home, as for what secrets, I have been Miss Bai's maid for three months, I don't know what you are talking about......"
Behind him, Lei Yunting stepped forward and shook his head slowly:
"Forget it, old five, I'm afraid this girl really doesn't know anything. Since that white as smoke is guarding against us, there will be no one here who knows the inside story. ”
Chen Zheng naturally understood this truth, so he could only furrow his brows, and pressed his hand slightly, which instantly made the woman faint.
He followed Lei Yunting out of the main house and gestured
Ji Xunyi, who was guarding outside the house, only heard a few words, and his eyes showed surprise, but he held back his doubts and followed the two, and his figure flew out of the wall of Shantang.
Outside the wall, Yun Lan, who was in response, rushed to the scene, and when she saw the three of them empty-handed, she immediately wondered:
"Master, isn't that white as smoke in the Good Hall?"
"Bai Ruyan guessed that we would come, and the one who stayed here was just an impostor."
Thunder Cloud Thunder shook his head:
"Cunning rabbit three holes, we still underestimate this person's cunning, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to catch her."
Chen Zheng, who ran for nothing, was also a little annoyed:
"It's the disciple who is in a hurry, and he should wait for the information to be determined before making a move, this time he will be in a hurry, and it will be even more troublesome later."
Lei Yunting was comforting:
"It doesn't matter, she is the owner of Baiyulou and Shantang, and she is executing some kind of plan for the Blood Spirit Dao, and when she always shows up, she will go back and improve the information, and she will be captured in one fell swoop next time."
Knowing that this matter was in a hurry, Chen Zheng could only sigh: "What the master said is ......"
......
Half an hour later.
Somewhere in the city.
In the gloomy underground space, the Yin Sect sat expressionlessly on the stone platform, and his voice was indescribably cold:
"He did come for you?"
Bai Ruyan, or rather, Bai Long nodded solemnly:
"Yes, it's not just Chen Zheng alone, he seems to have brought an accomplice here, but he didn't show his face in night clothes, I don't know who it is.
Fortunately, the adults told me in advance, otherwise I might really be captured by this person if I didn't notice it for a while. ”
"Accomplice ......"
Yin Zongnan's face was cold and hard:
"This Chen Zheng has been suspended, and the people who can be used in Lingqiu County are none other than people from the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo, who dare to take the initiative to come to the door knowing my existence...... Could that person be a thunderbolt? ”
"Quite possibly."
The voice as white as smoke is extremely solemn:
"My lord, I must find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise, I will only be afraid and hide all day long, and I will not be able to carry out my plan wholeheartedly. If those people track down even more, and find clues along the vine, it will completely ruin the adult's plan! ”
"They're looking for ...... death"
Yin Zongnan smiled coldly:
"Don't worry, this kid won't be proud for long, as soon as this incident comes out, someone will naturally take care of him......"
Bai Ruyan's heart moved:
"You mean, the county guard? However, this Chen Zheng is a powerful person close to the secret realm of qi refining, and that thunder cloud thunder is a famous martial arts master in Lingqiu County, a genuine martial arts master, even if he is a county guard, it seems that he is ......."
"You're underestimating the guardian of a county."
Yin Sect Nan said with a smile:
"Of course, a single county guard is nothing, but with Ouyang Ji's background, it is very different. Two martial arts powerhouses with no background foundation are nothing in his eyes. Ouyang Ji is even more interested in the matter of refining the secret art of the soul than I do. Now that someone wants to interfere with and sabotage this matter without opening their eyes, he naturally won't allow it.
Bailong, if you are wronged for a few more days, don't show your deeds, with the means of this county guard, you will definitely deal with this trouble soon. ”
The white dragon nodded, then frowned:
"But my lord, if the spirit refining secret technique succeeds in refining the blood spirit root, does it really have to be handed over to Ouyang Ji first? This person is by no means an easy person, should we take precautions in advance? ”
"Of course!"
Yin Zongnan said with a playful smile:
"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. This county guard has a clear idea in his heart, and when the blood spirit root is successfully refined, it will depend on who has the best means......"
......
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
The sun rises as usual.
Among the government offices.
After the book, Ouyang Ji, who had just received the news, crumpled the letterhead in his hand into pieces, his face was cloudy, and he reprimanded coldly:
"Ignorant erectors, don't know whether to live or die!"
Beside him, a personal guard with a cold face immediately bowed down: "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing."
Ouyang Ji's face quickly returned to normal, and he commanded:
"Pass my order, summon Liu Yuanming, the commander of the Supervision Division, to come to the mansion!"
The guards immediately took the order to leave.
After about two or three quarters of an hour, the guards went and returned, singing loudly:
"Lord County Guard, the commander Liu Yuanming has been brought!"
Ouyang Ji nodded: "Let him in!" ”
When the words fell, Liu Yuanming's figure trotted out, and then walked into the hall in three steps and two steps, bowed and saluted:
"Xiaguan Liu Yuanming has seen the county guard, I don't know what the adults are calling, what is the matter?"
"No need to be polite, sit down."
Ouyang Ji appeared and retreated, and then said:
"The official received a tip-off that a thief sneaked into Deshantang last night to plot misdeeds and was discovered. This person is extremely vicious, and before he escaped, he deliberately set fire to the house and burned to death many beggar helpers who were taken in by the good hall, and the situation was extremely bad! ”
Liu Yuanming was shocked:
"Is there such a thing? Xia Guan has just arrived in the department, and he doesn't know about this situation yet! ”
"Then you know now."
Ouyang Ji said coldly:
"Deshan Hall, which is a good place that thousands of people in this city yearn for, has suffered this calamity. As a county guard, this official is heartbroken to hear this news, and I want you to mobilize all your forces to track down the murderer, and bring him to justice, and give an explanation to everyone! ”
This is obviously not a good errand, Liu Yuanming's face twitched, but he immediately agreed:
"The lower officials will definitely do their best to arrest the murderer as soon as possible!"
"Good."
Ouyang Ji nodded, and said slowly:
"On the side of Deshantang, it is said that there are eyewitnesses left, who can help you lock down the murderer as soon as possible, you can go and ask first. Also, the previous deputy commander Chen Zhengcai failed to search and interrogate Deshan Hall, and such an evil thing happened in the blink of an eye, is there any connection between the two?
The official has only one request for this, that is, no matter what the murderer's previous identity and achievements are, he will be severely punished and will not be tolerated! ”
This...... What do you mean?
Do you want me to ......?
Hearing what Ouyang Ji said, Liu Yuanming was stunned for a moment, and an unbelievable thought rose in his heart.
Ouyang Ji stared at him indifferently:
"Why, didn't you understand what the official said?"
Say you are, you are, and you're not.
Say you're not, you're not, yes and no!
Liu Yuanming's mind was racing, and he hurriedly lowered his head, gritted his teeth and promised:
"The lower officials understand that they will not disappoint the adults! Even if the culprit under investigation is strong, the strength of the Supervision Department may be insufficient......"
"Don't worry."
Seeing that Liu Yuanming understood what he meant, Ouyang Ji smiled slightly:
"Take my warrant, in addition to the Supervision Department, the Criminal Arrest Department, the Defense Army, and even the Evil Punishment Division, you can mobilize all the masters. Is there a problem with even borrowing Teng's power when necessary? ”
After determining what Ouyang Ji meant, Liu Yuanming's eyelids jumped wildly, and he complained bitterly in his heart, but he said:
"No problem, the next official will do it."
As he spoke, after Ouyang Ji bowed slightly, he bowed and left in a hurry with a solemn face.
Behind him, Ouyang Ji stood high above the temple and smiled lowly:
"If the official can pick you up, he can smash you, Chen Zheng, Chen Zheng, how will you choose......"
