Chapter 773

Zhuang Yunfei also nodded, "What the eldest brother said is, father, I also think Xiao Zhan is suitable."

Pingxi Hou looked at Xiao Zhan and asked:

"Since both of their brothers recommended you, then the matter will be handed over to you for investigation, and whoever you need to cooperate with can be told to whomever I want, and I will give you this right."

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, "Thank you Lord Hou for your trust, I will definitely do my best to investigate this matter, but I don't guarantee that I will be able to investigate the truth."

Pingxi Hou nodded, "Don't worry, just try your best to investigate, even if you can't find out, I won't blame you."

After speaking, Pingxi Hou got up, looked at Zhuang Qiang and said:

"You personally bring someone to the palace to report this."

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhuang Qiang's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will set off for Yin Wang City immediately."

After speaking, Zhuang Qiang turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Zhuang Yunfei smiled at Xiao Zhan and left.

After a while, Xiao Zhan returned to the courtyard where he temporarily lived.

Li Yong had already woken up from the retreat, and when he learned what had just happened from Xiao Zhan's mouth, he immediately became puzzled.

"Big brother, I always feel that something is wrong, there are so many people in the palace, why do you want to investigate?"

"Does Pingxi Hou trust you too much?"

Xiao Zhan chuckled, "Pingxi Hou doesn't trust me."

"Do you really think Pingxi Hou is a fool?"

"Maybe Pingxihou knows everything, but he didn't say it, and on the surface, I asked me to investigate this matter, but in fact, it means that he doesn't want to delve into this matter."

"Why?" Li Yong frowned, "He can actually endure such a big thing?"

Xiao Zhan smiled, "Pingxi Hou is a smart person."

"If you think about the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, the Marquis of Zhenyuan knows that Steward Qin is the female cadre installed by the mighty Marquis in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, didn't he clean up Steward Qin? On the contrary, he has always let Qin Kui's son Qin Hu serve as the commander of the government army."

Li Yong nodded, "I can't figure it out, what kind of psychology are these big shots, is it fun to keep traitors around?"

Xiao Zhan's eyes were deep, "It's not fun."

"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear."

"The people in the bureau treat themselves as dishes."

"As a result, in the eyes of people like Pingxi Hou, they are just clowns jumping off the beam."

"Whether they are alive or dead, they can't make any waves in Pingxihou's heart."

Li Yong nodded as if he didn't understand.

Seeing Xiao Zhan walking into the house to retreat, Li Yong asked in a low voice:

"Big brother, don't you need to pretend and pretend to investigate this matter?"

"No need," Xiao Zhan walked directly into the room, held his breath, and began to practice. ap.

Zhuang Yunfei and Zhuang Qiang both gave a hundred Netherworld Pills, and Xiao Zhan planned to use these Netherworld Pills first.

It's a pity that these Netherworld Pills are just a drop in the bucket for Xiao Zhan.

He became a pauper again, but fortunately, the Netherworld Power of the Hou Mansion was still quite strong and could meet the basic training needs.

For the next period of time, the Hou Mansion seemed unusually calm, and no one came to look for Xiao Zhan, as if the matter had just passed.

On this day, the housekeeper Wu Yong came to the courtyard and said coldly:

"Xiao Zhan, the palace has sent someone over, and the Hou Ye asked you to go over and report on the progress of the investigation."

Xiao Zhan came out of the room, followed Wu Yong away, and soon came to the courtyard of Pingxi Hou.

In addition to Pingxihou, there was also a man with a calm face sitting next to Pingxihou, drinking tea while laughing and talking about something with Pingxihou.

Zhuang Yunfei and Zhuang Qiang are here.

As soon as Wu Yong and Xiao Zhan walked in, the eyes of several people fell on Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan first glanced at Zhuang Qiang and said with a smile, "Prince Zhuang Qiang has returned from Yin Wang City?"

Zhuang Qiang nodded and did not speak.

Pingxi Hou solemnly smiled at this time and spoke, "

Xiao Zhan, let me introduce you."

"The one next to me is Zhuang Yongsheng, the deputy commander of the soldiers of King Yin's Mansion."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and looked at Zhuang Yongsheng, "I've seen Commander Zhuang."

Pingxi Hou said with a smile, "Yongsheng is also my righteous son, he was favored by the commander of the palace soldiers in the last time the palace soldiers were in the competition, and the prince personally spoke, so that Yongsheng stayed in the palace and became the deputy commander of the palace soldiers."

Xiao Zhan knew it in his heart.

He said that this deputy commander was also surnamed Zhuang, and it turned out to be the righteous son of Pingxi Marquis.

Zhuang Yunfei and Zhuang Qiang were not very old and didn't know about it, so now they hurriedly hugged their fists at Zhuang Yongsheng and respectfully shouted "big brother".

Zhuang Yongsheng nodded, looked at Xiao Zhan and said:

"Stepfather said, now you are investigating the robbery of the Netherworld Pill, and the killing of twenty royal palace soldiers, how are you investigating now?"

Xiao Zhan hugged his fists:

"There are too few clues, and the investigation is still ongoing, but it's not for nothing."

Zhuang Yongsheng is a burly man, with dark skin, and when he is not smiling, he looks a little scary.

He frowned and looked at Xiao Zhan, and asked in a deep voice:

"Find out what, tell the truth."

Xiao Zhan slowly spoke:

"According to my investigation, among the displaced people within a radius of thousands of miles, there is a team of about 500 people."

"In that team of displaced people, there are not only hundreds of Nethered Vein Realms, but also dozens of Netherwater Realms, and even the Nethered Lake Realm."

Zhuang Yongsheng's eyes flashed with cold light, "Such a team is no longer considered a homeless person, and it can completely cause casualties to the government army."

"Where are those people, have they all been exterminated?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "These are all things I've heard from other homeless people."

"But there is no wind and no waves, and that group of homeless people who are not weak must exist, but for a while, there is no way to find their traces."

"But now that each Hou Mansion is clearing out the homeless people within their respective territories, that group will definitely not be able to escape, and sooner or later they will be exterminated."

Zhuang Yongsheng nodded, "Does this have anything to do with the killing of twenty royal soldiers?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head:

"It's okay."

"Whether it is the case of the theft of the Nether Pill or the murder of the soldiers of the royal palace, the case has been closed."

"After my investigation, the people who were caught by the commanders of the government army last time, Xie Jing and Zhuang Qianggongzi, are the real murderers."

Zhuang Yongsheng frowned and looked at his father-in-law.

Pingxi Hou nodded, "I have personally interrogated those people, and they have confessed to the crimes they have committed and have been brought to justice."

Whether it is true or not, as long as it is what Pingxi Hou said, Zhuang Yongsheng will not continue to ask.

Zhuang Yongsheng looked at Xiao Zhan again and said:

"When the government army was in a big competition, I saw you, and the commander of our palace army praised you, and said that he wanted to apply to the prince to leave you in Yin Wang City and let you join the palace army."

"It's a pity that you Zhenyuan Marquis don't seem to agree."

"Since the Marquis of Zhenyuan values you so much, how can you appear in the Pingxi Marquis Mansion?"

Xiao Zhan hugged his fists and didn't speak, but looked at Pingxi Hou.

Pingxi Hou said truthfully:

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan has a strange temperament, and he suddenly left the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion some time ago, and he doesn't know where to go."

"Xiao Zhan thought that the Marquis of Zhenyuan had come to me, so he came to look for it, so I let Xiao Zhan stay in my Pingxi Marquis Mansion by the way."

Zhuang Yongsheng smiled and nodded, "That made my father-in-law pick up a fairly good talent."

Pingxi Hou smiled and waved his hand, "Last time when the government army was in a big competition, I didn't have time to talk to you for a while."

"I'll have someone prepare good wine for you to wash the dust."

Zhuang Yongsheng shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"I didn't come here specifically to my father-in-law this time, and I still have military affairs in place."

see

Zhuang Yongsheng's expression was solemn, and Pingxi Hou frowned and asked, "What military affairs?"

Zhuang Yongsheng didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Father-in-law doesn't know, not only on your side, but also on the territory of other Hou Mansions, there have also been looting Netherworld Pills."

"This has happened hundreds of times in recent times."

"After all, the number of Nether Pills that have been snatched away has exceeded one billion."

Pingxi Hou solemnly frowned, "What is the attitude of the prince?"

Zhuang Yongsheng rubbed his eyebrows:

"The storm is coming."

"If it's really a rebellion among the homeless, it can be suppressed, after all, in front of the palace army and the various Hou government armies, the homeless people will never be able to have an advantage."

"But this is clearly not a rebellion of the outcasts."

"The prince suspects that there is some force behind the manipulation of those displaced people."

The Pingxi Marquis Mansion looked at him, "The other Marquis will definitely not dare, and they don't have the strength to go against the prince."

"Could it be King Kurosawa who is behind the trouble?"
