Chapter 20: The Light That Leads to Hope

"Is the investigation clear?"

Zhao Gong's face was serious, his eyes were focused on the information collected in his hand, and he didn't look at Fang Zhibai on the side, and asked to himself: "Where is the head of the county government in question now?" ”

"According to the investigation of the secret agents in the city, the down-and-out scholar named Zhang Tao has no problem with his identity, everything is as he said... There was indeed a famous demon hunter in the ancestors, and his information was recorded in the household registration of the government. ”

Fang Zhibai truthfully reported all the information about Zhang Tao, and the Sky Survey Division was very strict in recruiting talents, screening layer by layer, strictly investigating all information about people, etc., to prevent people with bad intentions from mixing into the Sky Survey Division, causing huge losses.

Ever since Zhao Baihu agreed to Zhang Tao joining the Heaven Survey Division, they had secretly begun to collect all the information about each other in Tianwu Town, including a series of information from birth to school.

After a pause, he continued: "However, that Du Hanhai is a bit complicated, after a thorough investigation by the secret agents, it was found that there is a problem with his origin, it seems that it has something to do with the Blood Cloak Hall..."

"Bloody Cloak?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gongping's complexion finally changed, he frowned slightly, immediately put down the information he was reading in his hand, raised his head to look ahead, and said: "Tell me more!" ”

"According to the secret agent's report, Du Hanhai came to Tianwu Town three years ago, and for some reason he climbed to Tianwu Town, and then he was arranged to be the chief catcher... In the city, he is powerful and prosperous, and sometimes colludes with some people from unknown sources. ”

Hearing this, Fang Zhibai replied with a serious expression: "And half a month ago, a secret agent discovered that the people of the Blood Cloak Hall had private contact with the other party..."

"Sure enough, this little catcher is very problematic, no wonder he was hostile to us in the Li Mansion and wanted to kill us while we were injured!"

Hearing the report in his ears, Zhao Gongping's eyes narrowed, revealing an expression that was not what I expected, and then he said in a somewhat cold voice: "Maybe he is the breakthrough for us to find the Blood Clothes Hall." ”

Halfway through speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and wondered: "Hasn't Little Brother Zhang come to the inn yet?" ”

When he thought of yesterday, the ferocious head catcher not only had murderous intent towards them, but also murderous intent towards that talented little brother, and he suddenly became nervous.

"It was just after noon, and I didn't hear the second shopkeeper report."

Fang Zhibai's eyes moved slightly, and he guessed with some uncertainty: "Will something happen to him?" ”

Immediately, he thought that Du Hanhai's whereabouts were unknown, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, maybe it was not impossible for the other party to kill the weak little scholar before leaving because his identity was exposed.

"With Du Hanhai's cultivation in the early stage of the Double Heaven Quenching Bone Realm, Zhang Tao will definitely not survive!" He voiced the speculation in his mind.

"That kid has a strange spell, he shouldn't be able to die!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Gongping waved his hand, directly rejected his speculation, and muttered: "But this matter can't be ignored, that kid is a good seedling that is rare in a hundred years, and he can't let him have any accidents..."

Then he commanded, "Let the fat man go and inspect him, make sure that he is safe, and bring him over by the way." ”

"Yes!"

At the right time, Fang Zhibai's face turned straight, and he clasped his hands into fists and asked, "Then what should the relevant county officials do?" ”

"Don't startle the snake first, just keep an eye on the movements of the county government, if you find the traces of the people from the Demon Gate, then let the secret agent report it in time... I've always felt that this matter is not as simple as it seems. ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Gong said indifferently: "Now everything is waiting to see what happens, and we will act when the support of the Demon Slaying Hall arrives!" ”

"Knock knock~"

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door outside the guest room.

"What?"

Seeing this, Fang Zhibai walked quickly to the door, opened a crack in the door, and found that it was Wu Fatzi knocking on the door, so he couldn't help frowning slightly and looked at the other party, signaling the other party to give an explanation.

"That Li Fu kid woke up, but he was in a bit crazy, and he kept shouting to see the head!"

Fat Wu looked embarrassed, shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and explained: "I really can't stop him, so I came to ask the boss what he meant." ”

"Nonsense, the boss is seriously injured and has not completely healed, at this time he needs to cultivate, how can he be disturbed by inconsequential people?"

Fang Zhibai looked displeased and said, "Just drive him away... By the way, you go and bring that Zhang Tao by the way, the boss is worried that he will be in danger. ”

"Good!"

Fat Wu nodded, and when he heard that there was a task, his eyes were solemn, and his tone was a little surprised, and said, "Brother Zhang is in danger?" ”

"No, with Brother Zhang's 'rough skin and thick flesh' realm of the Mixed Yuan Forging Technique, ordinary attacks can't hurt him..."

He frowned and pondered, and said suspiciously: "If this is dangerous, then it will not help if I go..."

"If you want to go, you'll go, so much nonsense?"

Hearing the chatter in front of the door, Fang Zhibai closed the door impatiently, directly interrupting the other party's posture of opening his mouth to continue talking.

"Humph! What an attitude~"

Seeing this, Fat Wu snorted arrogantly, looked at the closed door in front of him, muttered a few words, and turned around and walked towards the first floor of the inn.

"Li Feipeng, right, our boss is healing, and I can't see you for the time being, so you better step down first!"

Walking to the noisy lobby, he went straight to a young man in a brocade robe, and explained in a gentle manner: "It's not too late to come back after a while..."

I saw that the young man was in a trance, his face was pale, there was no blood, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his mouth kept thinking in pieces: "Dead, all dead... Ghosts, all ghosts! ”

"Help us, help help.... I want to see my sister... Sister..."

He turned a deaf ear to the words in his ears, and stood at the wine table by himself, staring blankly at the wine glass in front of him, showing no sign of leaving.

"Hey..."

Wu Fatzi couldn't bear it, and when he saw the other party's crazy appearance, he couldn't help but sigh.

He knew in his heart that if the other party's mansion was tragic, he could survive alone, and no one could bear such a heavy blow, and it was normal for him to become insane.

"You're lucky to survive the scourge of monsters!"

The fat man didn't know how to comfort the other party, so he could only shake his head, pick up a glass of wine and drink it all, and sighed: "In this difficult world, if you can live one more day, you will earn it!" ”

"Without my family, I'd rather die than live alone!"

Suddenly, Li Feipeng, who had been in a state of madness, suddenly stopped muttering to himself, stared at him with red eyes, and made a hoarse sound from his throat.

The hoarse and deep voice made it impossible to tell that it was the voice of a vigorous young man.

"Peng Shao, if you don't want to live anymore, then you have really ruined all the hope of Li Mansion's life!"

At that moment, a gentle, magnetic voice came from the door of the inn.

"You don't live for yourself now, but with the hope of those souls who died miserably... If you want to die, then the Yanran girls will not agree if they know under the spring. ”

The sound was not loud, but it was ringing in the ears of everyone in the noisy inn.

Li Feipeng was shocked, as if every sentence and every word had turned into starlight, and every word was clearly falling in the depths of his soul, allowing him to see the light of hope in the dead darkness.

"Brother Ziqian!"

Hearing the sound of a spring breeze in his ears, Li Feipeng finally couldn't help it, and he called out the other party's name with a crying voice.

"Brother Zhang, you're finally here!"

Hearing this, Fat Wu turned around happily and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a young man in a Confucian robe wearing a simple green shirt standing at the door of the inn, carrying a bamboo and rattan book basket behind him, hanging a piece of cyan ancient jade around his waist, and holding a simple and low-key eight-sided iron sword in his hand, with a graceful demeanor and refreshing appearance.

"I've seen Brother Wu!"

Zhang Tao saluted slightly, and then strode up to Young Master Li, who was crying like a child, patted the other party's shoulder and comforted: "The deceased is gone, please mourn!" ”

"Brother Ziqian, my sister is dead... I've become a homeless person..."

Li Feipeng cried loudly, and the bitterness and grief that had accumulated in his heart were all vented the moment he saw him.

At this moment, Zhang Tao's appearance seemed to have become the light in the other party's heart, making him feel warm and hopeful!

"The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!"

Zhang Tao looked at his eyes sincerely, and said in a soft tone: "As long as you survive well, that is the greatest comfort to the deceased!" ”

Hearing the comfort in his ears, Li Feipeng was silent for a long time, falling into silence, his dead heart gradually began to beat, and the light in his dull eyes slowly flashed.

Seeing the other party standing in place and silent, Zhang Tao knew that he could only help this, if a person has a knot in his heart that cannot be dissolved, then only the other party can untie it, and the bell must be tied to the bell...

Everything needs to come out on his own, and no one else can help him!

"Brother, are you alright?"

Wu Fatzi stepped forward quickly, looked at him eagerly, looked his eyes up and down, as if to see if there was any injury from him, and said with concern: "Did the head catcher trouble you yesterday?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm worried about Brother Wu."

Hearing this, Zhang Tao smiled slightly, with a smile like a spring breeze, he could feel sincere concern from the other party, and that kind of sincere expression of his eyes was not a fake.

Seeing this scene, he was a little moved, and his heart felt warm, as if there was a hot current flowing through his heart, which was a feeling he had never had in his memory.

He didn't explain too much about Du Hanhai, so as not to be heard by people with a heart, he didn't forget that there were still people in the Demon Gate Blood Cloak Hall in the city, and danger was everywhere.

He changed the subject and said, "Your injuries have healed, what about Lord Zhao?" ”

"Hehe, my old Wu has rough skin and thick flesh, and he is resistant to beating, that little injury is not in the way, and he has already recovered!"

Wu Fatzi took his hand enthusiastically, came to the wine table and sat down, ignoring Li Feipeng, who was struggling in his heart on the side, smiled, and explained quite proudly: "Zhao Tou's injury is not light, and now he is still in the guest room to heal his injuries, and he won't be able to wake up for a while..."

"But before we do that, we can take advantage of this time to have a drink."

As he spoke, Fat Wu took the wine jug in his hand, squeezed his eyebrows, like a big rat stealing oil, showing a happy expression, and the fat on his face trembled with joy, looking extremely funny.
