"My lord, is it really possible to send such a scoundrel with no experience or strength at all to arrest the president?"

After Zhang Ergou received the order to leave, Han Zhi couldn't help but step forward with a little doubt and asked.

Li Yu turned around and looked at him.

"Don't underestimate this person, since he can trap those rich businessmen, and even our secret agents, it means that he knows something about treacherous things and all kinds of news from the rivers and lakes, otherwise, it would never be possible to do this.

As for the treacherous power, is there still a shortage of various available subordinates in the Demon Suppression Division?

Assigning some new aliens to him as his weapons and tools, as long as they can be used reasonably, is equivalent to him harnessing those powers himself. ”

Li Yu This is an empirical matter, because in the treacherous domain of Wangchuan City, he handed over the strange gem heart that he could not use for the time being to Zhou Gui, in exchange for his ability and loyalty.

If this is not the case, the treacherous puzzle on my body at that time was unbalanced, and I was not suitable for this kind of thing, and forcibly controlling it would only be harmful, not beneficial.

Therefore, for those who call the shots, it may not necessarily be a good choice to control the treachery by themselves.

They rely more on their minds and their ability to integrate information.

Of course, with the exception of those top-notch treasures and incomprehensible abilities, those who can ignore any stratagem and mind are too dangerous.

"Don't worry, I can't really hand over this matter to him, it's just a test after all.

It's not so much to count on him to atone for his sins, but to see what he is capable of and what he can do......"

……

"What should I do? If you can't complete this task, it's going to be fatal. ”

On the other side, Zhang Ergou, who was assigned a task, was full of sorrow.

Although he has not been in officialdom, he also understands that Li Yu is testing himself.

The difference is that ordinary officials test the people below, at best, it is a matter of promotion and reward.

On his side, however, it is possible to die.

It is easy to investigate the treacherous cases, but it is really not easy to run around like headless flies in the whole city and find out the true source of those "human sheep".

】

Although Li Yu also allocated a group of people to drive him, he understood that he was soft-spoken, and he did not have any prestige for the time being, and it was impossible to use them as animals.

Those uncles began to shout tired after investigating for a long time, and then ran to various places to laze and rest.

Only with sufficient majesty and sufficient interests can they actively use their lives and treat one manpower as several.

This kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is the use of manpower and material resources, which is equivalent to the cost of doing business.

I don't even have a few capital, how can I make a deal?

"I have to work so hard for myself, his grandmother's, what's this called!"

The first thing Zhang Ergou considered was the dossier left by the Demon Suppression Division.

He took advantage of Li Yu's order to obtain those things, and then found a few scribes to sort them out and think about them carefully.

As it turned out, the road was not easy to follow.

Because if it was so easy to find, those previous Demon Suppressors would have already tracked it down through this clue.

There may be some secrets hidden in those vast and complicated records, but it is impossible to sort them all out in a short period of time.

He began to check the merchants who had received "human sheep" in West City.

As a result, those merchants were secretive one by one, and it took a lot of effort to ask questions before they explained the general situation, but most of them were no different from the files.

They just confessed that it was an old couple who sold "human sheep" to them.

The old couple seems to have opened a teahouse outside the city, where passing merchants could stop and drink tea.

This is also the reason why some people are jealous of them and secretly report it.

Zhang Ergou was so angry that he blackmailed all those merchants, not only to vent his anger, but also to drive himself to accumulate money.

Sure enough, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and in just two or three days, his subordinates began to make love with him.

They suddenly found that this leader who had somehow parachuted down seemed to be quite generous.

is willing to spend money, this is his advantage, and it is also the reason why he was able to eat openly before, and obtained treacherous information in both black and white.

"Lord Zhang, judging from the current situation, the old couple is definitely the most suspicious object, they have earned a lot of silver taels from it, it is possible that the owner who used the strange treasure deliberately left it to them.

Otherwise, start the investigation with their relationship? ”

A cadre reminded Zhang Ergou.

"Didn't someone check it before and didn't get the result?"

Zhang Ergou said a little irritably, and the other people in the Demon Suppression Division are not eating dry rice.

"By the way, where is the old couple now?"

"They have been imprisoned since they were released, but their confessions are not known, and they don't know if Lao Hutu is painting or pretending to be stupid, and they don't know anything about it."

"Hmph, there must be something to hide!"

Zhang Ergou's eyes rolled.

"Let's go and interrogate the old couple."

Soon after, in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division, Zhang Ergou returned to the place where he had been imprisoned.

Because it is very likely that the old couple has colluded with the stranger who holds the strange treasure, and it is impossible for them to be detained in a place like the Chang'an County Ya, but they have been transferred here and guarded closely.

Until now, there have been no robberies or accidents.

When Zhang Ergou found them, he found that the old couple were being held in different cells, and they were both scarred.

When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.

This means that any method he has thought of has been used by the Demon Suppressor before.

Torture?

Who wouldn't do this easy way?

"However, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have such hard bones, this couple must be hiding things, and the secrets they want to hide are either closely related to their own interests, or the closest ones around them may be their children and the like."

Zhang Ergou frowned and took it to heart.

"Come on, set up a pot for me!"

Everyone was a little confused, but they quickly complied.

After a moment's effort, the cauldron was set up, and hot water was boiling in the middle of the courtyard.

Zhang Ergou shook his official authority, sat down on a small wooden bench, and ordered the old couple to be summoned out of the cell respectively.

"You old things, against the government, have no king's law, and use witchcraft to kill passers-by and turn them into human sheep!

This official is going to cook you alive for Heaven today!

But it's too cheap to kill two of them at once, so come on, cut off this old man's hand first, cook it and feed it to the demon woman! ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that the old couple's complexion changed, even the other officials couldn't help but show their expressions of emotion.

Two dogs? Are you coming really?

This is really a vicious dog, there is no bottom line!

"Dog, kill if you want to, what kind of hero is it to torture people with this method? Lao Tzu is not afraid to tell you that the person you are looking for has already flown away, and even if you kill us, you will not be able to get a word. ”

The old man knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so he also scolded angrily.

"Oh? Listening to your conversation, it is impossible for ordinary people to be ordinary people, could it be a demon of the Demon Sect? ”

This point has already been mentioned by the scribe in the transcription volume, and Zhang Ergou knows how to learn and sell now.

The old man's face changed slightly.
