Chapter 115
Zhou Zheng frowned. Suddenly, he looked at Hu Yi and smiled, "Hu Yi, how do you know so much about obsidian?" ”
Hu Yi immediately said, "Zhenjun, don't hide it, my master used to be the personal guard of the Demon King, and because of his great achievements, he was once rewarded with an obsidian by the Demon King. Later, Master passed it on to me. At first, I also wanted to use obsidian to improve my strength, but my Dao heart was unstable and I was afraid of going mad, so I didn't dare to use it. In the end, I spent a lot of money to hire a well-known swordsmith to help me make a magic weapon. That's it. ”
As he spoke, Hu Yi took out a jet-black and shiny Fei Lian from his body.
Seeing this Fei Lian, Zhou Zheng immediately thought of the jet-black short knife in Ying Yu's hand.
The knife used to be navy blue, and later, Lan Qin took the initiative and gave it to Yingyu.
It seems that the knife is also made of obsidian, no wonder it can hurt the immortal body of the Dao Ruins.
"How faithful are those three men to you?"
Zhou Zheng basically believed what Hu Yi said. However, this made him even more confused. He then asked about the three of them.
"The three of them are absolutely loyal to me!"
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
"Do you know where these pieces of obsidian come from?"
Hu Yi shook his head, "This villain really doesn't know. After speaking, he suddenly realized something, "It's the three of them?" ”
"No, it was found from two people."
"Impossible!"
"Why?"
"Impossible! Ahem, Zhenjun, let me tell you that. I may not be good in other aspects, but in terms of righteousness, my brothers are all obedient! I have never coveted their good, nor have I taken credit for their work! If they have anything good, they will give it to me as soon as possible! Especially a priceless treasure like obsidian, they'll give it to me first! ”
"Why?" Yang Shan, who was standing on the side, teased unconvinced.
"Whether they want to make a move, or they want to refine divine weapons, I have more ways than them! Moreover, there is no deception! ”
"Then, could it be that they want to use obsidian to cultivate and want to improve their respective cultivation behind your back?"
"More unlikely! Cultivating with obsidian is fast, but the conditions are extremely harsh. There must be a special exercise to guide it! My master spent his whole life, and it took me most of my life to find a few fragments. This is also the main reason why I can't make up my mind to cultivate with obsidian! This exercise alone is worth a thousand times more than obsidian! How could a few of them get such exercises? ”
"But these pieces of obsidian were indeed found from those two men! They really didn't tell you about it? ”
"Not really! I really don't know! ”
"Have they told you the details of this trip to the Wasteland?"
"Debriefed. However, there is nothing special! ”
"What's that leopard's name?"
"They all call her Xiaomeng, it doesn't seem to have a big name."
"You go back and send someone to find Xiao Meng immediately. Perhaps, the truth will only be known after she is caught! ”
"I'll arrange it right away!"
Seeing Hu Yi away, Zhou Zheng was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. This time, he originally planned to secretly investigate whether it was possible for Xiao Meng and the three of them to bring back the borer? Is it possible to kill someone to get angry for Hu Yi?
Unexpectedly, no borer was found on the three of them, but they found a treasure like obsidian!
Zhou Zheng has basically ruled out the possibility that Hu Yi did it, or arranged for his subordinates to kill Zhou Yue. Because, with the character of seeking advantage and avoiding disadvantage, he will never put himself in the position of the biggest suspect in order to vent his anger for a while!
So, are these three of his subordinates behind his back, wanting to kill people for him?
But judging from Hu Yi's performance just now, although these three people are not separated from Hu Yi, at least their loyalty to Hu Yi has been greatly reduced. Do you still obey him? Has it been violated by the yang and the yin? Have to put a big question mark?
From this point of view, it is extremely unlikely that they will come out to vent their anger for Hu Yi!
The cultivation of the three people is equivalent to the level of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Order. With such a weak strength, touching the tiger whiskers of the Tu Shan clan is tantamount to looking for death without measuring your strength! If they are really the murderers of Zhou Yue, then there must be someone behind them! However, it will not be Hu Yi who is behind the scenes!
So who could it be?
Obsidian! Is this related to this case?
Let's put aside the case, even if the three of Xiaomeng are not murderers, they have such a huge treasure, and the reason behind it will never be simple!
First of all, where did they find such precious obsidian? Moreover, each person has two or three pieces on them, which can be described as a huge amount.
This is a huge amount of wealth, and with the small cultivation of the three of them, they can't eat it at all! It is impossible for them not to know the truth that "the husband is not guilty and is guilty". So, supposedly, they should secretly tell their master Hu Yi as soon as possible, right? With Hu Yi's current strength, he has the ability to keep this wealth! And the three of them can also get the most benefit from it.
But why did they hide it from Hu Yi?
Unless, behind them, there is now a more powerful master than Hu Yi!
Secondly, if they already have a new master, why don't they turn in the obsidian, but take it with them? It's been almost ten days since they've been back, and there's plenty of time to meet their new master in private.
Why not? Is their new master not in Luqi Town? Or are they still wary of their new masters?
In Luqi Town, the only ones who can compete with Hu Yi are the Wood and Grass Alliance of the Great Tsubaki Tree and the Nine-Tailed Fox Family.
For a few pieces of obsidian, he betrayed the lord and threw himself into the enemy, and tore his face with Hu Yi? For the three of them, it doesn't seem to be cost-effective!
Their new master should have a higher status than Hu Yi! Stronger! In this way, the three of them can have the courage to turn their faces against Hu Yi.
Then, in Luqi Town, there is only one such existence, Lin Yuan.
Could it be Lin Yuan?
However, what if the new masters of the three of them are not in Luqi Town? Then, there are many objects to be suspected. There are gods and demons, there are laws and punishments, there are demons, and there is the forgiveness of their demon origin.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengxiang's brain hurts.
Never mind! He thought to himself, let's not make a fuss and focus on the murder case! The matter of obsidian is returned to Wen Ruyuan, let the master worry about it himself!
Zhou Zhenggang wanted to go back to the house to sleep and rest his brain. Suddenly, there was another noise outside the mansion, and this time the movement was even bigger!
Zhou Zhenggang wanted to send someone to see what the situation was, but he saw Yang Shan running in in a panic, "True Monarch, tens of thousands of people from the demon clan have surrounded the mansion and the government. ”
Zhou Zheng was stunned, "Hu Yi is here again?" ”
"No, it was Tu Shanxi and Da Chunshu who took the lead, and Hu Yi's cadres also followed."
"Tu Shanxi?" Zhou Zheng was puzzled and hurriedly came to the outside of the mansion.
There were two groups of people standing in front of the door, one wave was the nine-tailed fox family headed by Tu Shanxi, about one or two thousand people.
The other wave is led by an old man with a face like a heavy jujube, and it is thought to be the big Tsubaki tree. Behind him, in addition to the Wuyangyang tree spirit stone monster, there were also a group of Hu Yi's subordinates who had just come to the mansion, and there were seven or eight thousand people.
Although the two groups of people are surrounding the government, they are clearly distinguished.
"Patriarch Tushan, what do you mean by this?"
Tu Shanxi's face was embarrassed.
"Zhenjun, don't get me wrong. As long as you can come up with evidence, or you can give us a reasonable explanation, arrest Hu Yi, our Tu Shan clan will go all out to support you! ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Zheng was confused. "We didn't catch Hu Yi!"
"Zhou Zhenjun, it's not good if you say that! You ask them, but the mansion where you saw Hu Yi enter with your own eyes has not been released until now. To be honest, as long as Hu Yi is guilty, it is too late for us to be happy! Just like Patriarch Tushan said, we will fully support you! However, are you a bit too much of a bully for our demon clan to arrest and kill people like this? It was the old man who spoke.
"What is the old man's name?"
"Old man Chunfeng is the leader of the Wood and Grass Alliance."
"It turned out to be Tsubaki Fengshengjun, and I have admired it for a long time! Chunfeng Shengjun, how can you be so sure that Hu Yi was arrested by our Law and Punishment Division? I just invited Hu Yi Shengjun to come in and have a cup of tea, and he had already left half an hour ago. If you don't believe him, go to his house and look for him, and you'll see! It's a misunderstanding, we really didn't arrest him! ”
Seeing that Zhou Zheng said so firmly, Chun Feng couldn't help muttering in his heart. Could it really be an oolong this time?
And, after Tu Shanxi heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his footsteps couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Zheng a lot.
At this time, I don't know who shouted, "Hu Yi Demon King is not at home at all!" They didn't release anyone at all! ”
In the midst of the commotion, three people stood up behind Chunfeng, "Zhou Zhenjun, the villain's name is Miao Zhe, the three of us are the generals of the Demon Monarch, and we often follow the Demon Monarch of Huyi." Today, I can swear that since Hu Yi Demon Monarch entered your mansion, we are sure that we have not seen Hu Yi Demon Monarch come out again. If I have a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!
You said that half an hour ago, our demon lord left. However, the brothers searched all over Luqi Town, but there was no trace of the Demon King!
The villain dared to ask Zhenjun, which heavenly rule did our demon monarch violate, and you held people back? Also, what crime did Xiao Meng and the three of them commit, and you want to search all over the city? Moreover, he also killed two on the spot? Zhenjun, don't you think you should give us an explanation?
Didn't our demon lord come here to ask for an explanation for his brothers, why are you holding people around? ”
As Hu Yi's side, General Miao's words are very convincing. Everyone was angry for a while, and muttered that Sima Shang should be released by the law. Everyone's eyes were on Zhou Zheng.
This sudden situation caught Zhou Zheng off guard. He definitely couldn't deal with these people like he did with Hu Yi. Once it is not handled carefully, it will cause the same hatred of the demon clan. In case the demon clan is in chaos because of this, Zhou Zheng's guilt will be great!
Hu Yi led people to besiege the mansion, just representing his own forces, but now, the three forces are combined into one, representing the entire demon clan.
Zhou Zheng's mind turned quickly, and he instantly figured out the reason for the incident.
This matter must have been instructed by the demon lord Lin Yuan, or at least it had been tacitly approved by Lin Yuan.
Thinking about it, the Law and Punishment Division will catch a few or kill a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and Lin Yuan will not care. However, without his permission, the Department of Punishment secretly arrested the demon monarch under his command. This is undoubtedly a contempt for Lin Yuan's identity as a demon master, and it is also a great insult to himself!
It is precisely because of this that the three forces will choose to turn hostility into jade silk and unite with the outside world! And, the Tu Shan clan also had to make their position clear!
They are the bitter masters. If Zhou Zheng has real evidence, let alone just arresting Hu Yi, even if he kills him, Tu Shanxi will stand on Zhou Zheng's side without hesitation. At that time, even the demon lord Lin Yuan had nothing to say!
However, if Zhou Zheng has no evidence and kills people and arrests people indiscriminately, it is indeed suspected that the human race is bullying the demon clan by virtue of his identity as the law and punishment department. As a member of the demon clan, the Tushan clan must stand in the same camp as the other demon clans!
Thinking about the key to this, Zhou Zheng said loudly, "Chunfeng Holy Monarch, Tushan Patriarch, everyone, please listen to me for a while. ”
Zhou Zheng's words sounded, and under the scolding of Chunfeng and Tu Shanxi, the noise around him slowly subsided.
"Ladies and gentlemen. You say that I arrested Hu Yi, but I don't admit that I arrested Hu Yi. What to do? The easiest way is for you to go into my office and search. I'm also willing to prove my innocence and let you search. However, the government is a heavy place for punishment by law, and those who trespass should be punished according to the law! If I really let you in today, I will do you harm. ”
As soon as Zhou Zheng's voice fell, the buzzing sound of the head to ear started again.
"What does he mean? You're not scaring us, are you? ”
"No, no! I've heard of such a rule. ”
"But there are so many of us, can he tell who is who? Besides, he dares to punish more than 10,000 of us together? ”
"That's right! Don't you all say the law and don't blame the public! Why don't we break in together and see whose sin he dares to treat? ”
"Makes sense! Shall we break now? ”
"What's the hurry? Let someone else make the first bird! If you really want to punish the crime, it will also be the few people who take the lead in breaking in! ”
"That's right! Right! There is no hurry. Let's wait! ”
Zhou Zheng pressed his hand, so that everyone's discussion slowly subsided.
"So, I came up with a solution. You elect a representative, and you must be a representative you can trust. I will accompany you to search and see if Hu Yi is in our mansion? ”
Zhou Zheng's move directly threw the contradiction to the three major forces. There can only be one representative, and you can do it yourself!
The Nine-Tailed Fox family definitely doesn't believe in Chunfeng, let alone Miao Zhe. The Mucao Alliance would never trust Tu Shanxi, and they were extremely distrustful of Miao Zhe. If this group of people repeatedly uses the Mucao Alliance as a gunman, Chunfeng will not become the wronged leader!
And, Miao Zhe and they first doubted Tu Shan's position, in case they stood on Zhou Zheng's side and talked nonsense with their eyes open, wouldn't their brothers be fooled? But if Chunfeng is chosen, the two families already have enmity, and the deterioration of the relationship with the Tushan clan is also due to the Mucao Alliance. Who knows if Chun Bong is wearing the same pants as Tu Shanxi now?
The mutual suspicion made the three look at each other, and they really couldn't choose a suitable representative for a while.
But things can't be so deadlocked?
The most anxious is still a group of Miao Zhe. He lowered his posture and saluted Zhou Zheng respectfully.
"Zhenjun, the villain has a reluctant request, and I also ask Zhenjun to let the three of them in, each representing one side, and witnessing to each other."
Zhou was embarrassed.
"Let you go in and search alone, I'm already risking being dismissed. If there are many people, the law will not tolerate it! In addition, the important places in the government are protected by formations, and only the master of the division is qualified to lift these formations. In my capacity, I can only bring one person in. ”
Zhou Zheng did not ignore Miao Zhe's low status, but patiently explained. This won a lot of people's hearts at once.
Many people have a great change in their views on the Law and Punishment Department and Zhou Zheng's bullying from hearsay, and some people see that Zhou Zheng is so frank and believe what he said that he did not arrest people.
