Chapter 45

Qingqin is dead, but there are still many things that have not been sorted out. Zhou Zheng didn't plan to give up.

After finally convincing Qingyun and getting her consent, Zhou Zheng led Cheng E and the Department of Law and Punishment to gather all Qingqin's henchmen and cronies and people close to her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Qingqin has already subdued the Fa, but she explained a lot of things before she died. Your patriarchs are merciful, and do not want to kill more. When the first evil is removed, you will no longer be held responsible.

As long as you truthfully confess your crimes, you will not be blamed for the past and write off all of them. That is, it is a complete turnover!

However, if any of you are still lucky, you feel that you will avoid punishment by avoiding the serious, or hiding your crimes. Once discovered, the Qingluan clan has your clan rules, and the Law and Punishment Division has the punishment of the Law and Punishment Division, and you should know what the consequences are. Moreover, there is a further degree of sin!

Now, we are the Judicial Division, and each of you is in a room, where there is pen and ink, and you write it yourself. If you don't know how to read, then dictate, and we have special personnel to record it for you!

You'd better think it through! What does the future hold for you? It's all in your own hands! ”

After taking all these people away, Zhou Zheng beckoned, and after a while, a person came out of a side door on the side.

"Zhenjun, I can see clearly!"

"Who?"

"Standing in the first row, counting from the left is the eleventh person. There is also a third row, the third person from left. ”

Zhou Zheng flipped through the flower roster, "Xi'er, the maid of Qingqin Bixi Palace." Chu Wei, the chief of the guard of the Bixi Palace, was sent to the Rainbow Pontoon Bridge and was responsible for the operation of various checkpoint organs. ”

Zhou Zheng slowly closed the roster. "Have you seen them?"

"Yes. When my son-in-law and I first met the man in the black cloak, it was the woman who accompanied the man in the black cloak. ”

"What time is that?"

"More than two months ago."

"That is, a month before the recruitment competition?"

"Yes, exactly a month. I remember that my son-in-law deliberately calculated it at that time, exactly one month! ”

"Then this Chu Wei, when did you see it?"

"A few days before the recruitment competition, we just arrived at Sanwei Mountain. One night he burst into our guest house, and after asking for the identity of my son-in-law, he threw him a wax pill and left. ”

"Wax pills? What's written in it? ”

"I don't know about that. However, my son-in-law was very happy after reading it, and said that he would definitely be able to taste Qingyun this time... Little damn it! These are all my son-in-law's drunken words! What he meant, he can sit back and relax this time, and he will definitely succeed! ”

Zhou Zheng didn't care about these vulgar words.

"Are you sure you're seeing this Chu Wei?"

"That's right! Because he came in, I thought he was going to assassinate my son-in-law, so remember clearly. ”

"In addition to these two people, are there any other people from the Qingluan clan who have any contact with your son-in-law?"

"Nope. Anyway, when the villain was by my son-in-law's side, I never saw anyone else! ”

"Good! Xue Luo, well done! You've done a great job! Although your assassination of the True Monarch of the Law and Punishment Division is an unforgivable felony, today's credit can atone for the crime! When you make new contributions, you will be able to reduce all your guilt and acquit you! Well done! ”

Xue Luo knelt on the ground, "Xie Zhenjun's grace not to kill!" You are my reborn parents! In the future, the little one must be a cow and a horse to repay the true king! ”

Xue Luo snorted and cried, moving himself to the core.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and ordered someone to take him down.

How could Xue Luo be here? Since he is here, is Shang Da also here?

Sure enough, not long after Xue Luo left, a servant brought out a person from another side door, it was Shang Da.

"Did any of these people you see just now?"

"Nope. I've seen a member of the Qingluan clan, but he's not among them. ”

Zhou Zheng thought about it and asked Cheng E to get two portraits.

"Is there that person in the middle of the two?"

Shang Da carefully discerned for a long time, pointed to one of the portraits, and replied with certainty, "It's him!" I'm sure he was the one I saw that day! ”

Zhou Zheng put away the portrait. The two people in the portrait are Zhang Meng and Huang Lu. And Shang Da pointed out the yellow furnace, the pheasant's small hair, and the pheasant's best friend.

"When did you see the Yellow Furnace? In what place? ”

"It's in our Black Dragon Pond. Time, about half a year ago. ”

"What is he looking for Long Hai for?"

"I don't know what. I remember that the demon king was arranging affairs for us a few days that day, and when this person came, the demon king immediately let us disperse first. At that time, he was also wearing a black cloak. I was able to recognize him because when he entered the main hall, a wind blew his veil and I accidentally saw his face. ”

"Half a year ago?" Zhou Zheng carefully calculated this point in time, and at that time, it seemed that he had no plans to come to Kunlunxu. He laughed at himself, "Shouldn't you be discussing how to harm me?" ”

Zhou Zheng's self-deprecation woke Shang Da up.

"When Zhenjun said this, I remembered it. Not long after that person left, Archmage Mu Su brought the eldest prince Long Hai to me and Bai Er, and asked us to go to the human race to kill you! ”

"You mean, killing me didn't mean to kill me? But an order from Long Hai? ”

"Nope! It was Long Fei Gongzi who asked us to go. However, the status of the archmage is very high, and he is also the most loyal to the demon king Long Hai! If, without the consent of the Demon King, Mu Su would never be driven by Long Fei's temperament! Long Fei can't move a demon master like me and Bai Er! ”

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Have you ever seen the Yellow Furnace other than that time?"

"Nope! But more than two months ago, I saw the black-clothed cloaked man looking for our demon king, whether it was this yellow furnace or not, I really don't know! ”

It was more than two months ago, that is, a month before the recruitment competition, at that time, Zhou Zheng had already set off for Kunlun Xu with great fanfare under Wen Ruyuan's arrangement.

"After that, did Mu Su start arranging for you to intercept me in the middle of the road?"

"Yes. The Archmage has ordered us to keep an eye on your whereabouts. ”

Zhou Zheng now understands that Mu Su, who is in the name of finding the demon pill, doesn't care if Zhou Zheng has a demon pill on him from the beginning, his main purpose is to cause Zhou Zheng to die!

Long Hai said that the person who wants to kill Zhou Zheng is a person that neither Long Hai nor Zhou Zheng can afford to offend! And in the Qingluan Clan, it was that person's apprentice who cooperated with Long Hai. Judging from all the signs now, Qingqin is the one who cooperates with Long Hai! So, Qingqin, is that person's apprentice?

Qingqin, cultivation is in the eighth layer of the immortal level, and the moment the parasitic beast in her body regains its tentacles, Zhou Zheng can clearly feel that Qingqin's cultivation has reached the level of the demon king.

This kind of cultivation is completely in line with the standard of that Golden Immortal apprentice!

Is it really Qingqin? Zhou Zheng still has a lot of doubts.

He remembered Long Hai's vague answer, was it the same person who poisoned Qingji and delivered the news to him? What Long Hai said was, but not exactly.

If yes, then it all makes sense. Qingqin, or Qingqin's master, has been working with Long Hai. Therefore, poisoning Qingji and occupying the Qingluan clan was a long time ago discussed between them.

This is why Qingji has just been poisoned, and Long Hai has raised troops so seamlessly. Moreover, Long Hai would secretly order Long Fei to kill Long Fei early in the morning to blame the Qingluan clan and provide a legitimate excuse and reason for sending troops.

However, "not exactly one person", according to Zhou Zheng's understanding, Qingqin is the culprit who poisoned Qingji, and she is also the one who provided information to Long Hai, but Qingqin is not the apprentice of the golden immortal. That Golden Immortal's apprentice is someone else!

In other words, there is another person, a character who belongs to the core layer of the Qingluan clan and has not been discovered. The people who cooperated with Long Hai were still staring at Zhou Zheng in the dark, ready to take his life at any time!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

However, could this be because you are suspicious and overthinking?

Zhou Zheng decided to ignore these for now. You can't just make a fuss about Long Hai and let yourself be a soldier with a vague word, right?

"Shang Da, you assassinated Benjun, and the crime is not small. But you are also instructed by others, and you have made meritorious deeds. Moreover, I promised you atonement for your sins, and I am a man of my word. Now, you're good to go! ”

Shang Da was stunned, and he deeply thanked Zhou Zheng. After turning and taking a dozen steps, he turned back hesitantly.

"Zhenjun, can you take me in?"

"Why?"

"Our demon king is suspicious and moody. If I went back after such a long time, he would be suspicious of me. If he had known that I had been captured and released by the Disciplinary Division, he would never trust me again, and would even kill me! ”

"It's not impossible for me to take you in, but you should know better than me about the relationship between the Law and Punishment Division and the Demon Clan. If I allow you to join the Department of Laws and Punishments, you will most likely become the public enemy of the demon clan, which is even more difficult than the current situation! ”

Shang Da also understands this truth. He bowed his head and thanked Zhou Zheng again and turned to leave.

"Wait." Zhou Zheng stopped him, "You can go and meet the Plum Feather Demon King." She's in dire need of talent, so you can give it a try. ”

Shang Da's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Thank you Zhenjun for reminding me!" I'm going to meet the Plum Feather Demon King! ”

After speaking, hurriedly said goodbye.

Cheng E, who was standing on the side, gave a thumbs up to Zhou Zheng, "Shang Da is indeed a talent, and it will be helpful to the Plum Feather Demon King." ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered something, "Cheng E, I remember that at the earliest, I heard that there were four demon kings in Kunlun Xu. It's not Xiao Yu. Why, now it's all the three demon kings of the three forces? ”

"Zhenjun doesn't know that Kunlun Xuan does have four demon kings. I heard that the demon clan was divided into three back then, and Qingji, Linshi, and Longhai each occupied their own territory and divided the good Kunlun from the three parties. The demon king couldn't stand it anymore and retreated. ”

"He didn't establish his sphere of influence?"

Cheng E shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." On the contrary, back then, Qingji, Linshi and Long Hai tried their best to win him over! For this reason, the three parties also fought and fought for several years! ”

"What's the name of this demon king?"

"I don't know. Our Law and Punishment Division has very little information about that demon king, and even most of the demons of the various clans don't know the name of that demon king, let alone see his true face. ”

"And where is he now, I don't know?"

"I heard that more than 200 years ago, no trace of him was known. Some people say that he lived in seclusion in Kunlunxu; Some people also say that he has long left Kunlun and gone to the human race; Some people even say that he has been feathered and ascended to immortal and entered the heavenly court. Say anything! ”

"It's a pity!" Zhou Zheng sighed.

"Zhenjun, what is the pity?" Cheng E didn't understand.

"It's a pity for me, if he can help Xiao Yu, Kunlun Xuan will be able to unify one day earlier! Forget it, let's not talk about it! You go and see them, are they all finished? ”

Cheng E received the order and turned to leave.

Speaking of which, we need to add a few words, that is, why Shang Da and Xue Luo are here.

This matter also needs to start with Bai Er pretending to have a recurrence of the old illness and asking Zhu San to send him back to Sanwei Mountain.

Soon after Bai Er and Zhu San left, Zhou Zheng, who came out of the secret realm space, rushed to the Sanwei Mountain Pass.

Zhou Zheng soon discovered Shang Da and Xue Luo who were ambushed in the forest, quietly touched behind them, and easily captured them with no effort.

After being captured, Xue Luo was so frightened that he gave full play to his flattery, not only telling Zhou Zheng everything he knew and not knowing, but also taking it upon himself to help Zhou Zheng come up with the idea to kill his master Long Fei.

If people who don't know the truth see it, they will definitely not think that Long Fei is his master, but Zhou Zheng is the master he has followed for many years!

Shang Da was captured, knowing that he had no power to return to heaven, and finally chose to cooperate. He saw that Xue Luo had told all the secrets, and he didn't hide it, and told it out. At the same time, he also told Zhou Zheng the news that the demon king ordered them to secretly kill Long Fei. It's just that Shangda's level is too low, and he doesn't know the specific time, so he can only wait for Xiong Hong's signal.

This is why after Zhou Zheng saw Qingji being poisoned, he asked the Holy Fang to quickly protect Long Fei. However, it was still a step too late, and it failed to stop Xiong Hong and them from killing Long Fei.

At that time, Zhou Zheng faintly felt that these two people were still useful, so he sent them to the Law and Punishment Division to be imprisoned, and then returned to Sanwei Mountain, used magic to hide their identities, concealed everyone, and participated in the recruitment competition.

After that, Qingqin slowly surfaced. Zhou Zheng quietly ordered Cheng E to take Shang Da and them to Sanwei Mountain.

Originally, Zhou planned to let the two of them privately recognize the core figures of the high-level Qingluan clan, whether they had any contact with Long Hai and Long Fei's father and son.

Unexpectedly, when Xiu'er was caught that night, Xiu'er was surprisingly calm, and soon confessed to Qingqin, and agreed to expose Qingqin's true face in public.

This saved Zhou Zheng a lot of heart!

However, Qingqin's henchmen and cronies are still there, and Zhou Zheng does not intend to let them go. However, Qingyun repeatedly begged him to let him open the net and let these people go.

Zhou Zheng had no choice but to take such a method as he did today. However, he also deliberately arranged for Shang Da and Xue Luo to observe in the dark to ensure that an important person involved in the case would not be spared.

How to deal with others, Zhou Zheng plans to do exactly what Qingyun wants. After all, Qingyun is the patriarch and needs to maintain her authority. In addition, Qingyun is also her own woman, and she must follow her heart in whatever she asks for and whatever she says!

However, the maid named Xi'er and the chief guard Chu Wei, Zhou Zheng will never let it go easily!

He still has a lot of doubts in his heart, and he needs to find answers from these two people!
