Chapter 7: A hundred Song Ci were powerless
The gambling house is a mixed place, a lot of underworld news will appear here, and all kinds of ruthless and bad guys are also frequent visitors here, so here Chen Zhuo feels that it is possible to find clues to the mastermind behind the scenes.
In addition, Chen Zhuo did have a few news that he wanted to inquire, so the gambling house really had to come.
Chen Zhuo stayed in the gambling house for most of the day, and lost all the money on his body before leaving.
This time, Chen Zhuo did not gain much, and there were no clues about the mastermind behind the scenes, but there were some clues that Chen Zhuo wanted to inquire about.
After leaving the gambling house, Chen Zhuo did not go home, but continued to walk around the city, restaurants, tea shops, and many of these places Chen Zhuo went.
Seeing that it was going to be evening again, Chen Zhuo hurried home, and he didn't feel that anyone was following him or paying special attention to him that day.
When he returned home, he found a piece of white cloth, then picked up a piece of unburned wooden stick in the kitchen, and drew it on the white cloth with charcoal ink, and it was soon clear that he had drawn a map.
"Maybe Guan Lao San died, and the mastermind behind the scenes hasn't reacted yet, right? That's fine, I have more chances for one more day, I don't know what card I can get tonight? I'll have to change my strategy tomorrow. Chen Zhuo drew a map while briefly analyzing it, he felt that it was probably like this, it is estimated that even if he does not act tomorrow, the other party will know that the third child is hiccuping.
After the map was drawn, Chen Zhuo collected it personally, leaving these things behind for the time being, Chen Zhuo prepared dinner again with his heart, and soon Chen Yuwei also returned.
Chen Yuwei saw that her brother was already busy in the kitchen, so she hurriedly ran in, helping to light the fire, and chatting happily with Chen Zhuo.
In Chen Yuwei's opinion, the peaceful day ended happily, and it will always be like this in the future, although she has suffered a lot in the past few years, but it is worth it in exchange for all this.
Chen Zhuo continued to exercise his fists and feet in the yard after his sister fell asleep, and now he can improve his strength a little.
This practice soon came to the early hours of the morning, and a new card in the sea of consciousness arrived as scheduled, and now Chen Zhuo is a little used to it, and he is not as much looking forward to it as the previous times.
However, he still looked at the new card for the first time.
This card shows an ancient official wearing a long-winged hat (Song Dynasty official hat), with a grim face but compassionate eyes, a goatee, and a righteous face.
"Could it be him? How come you even have this kind of card? Chen Zhuo recognized the person on the card, and the appearance of this character was honestly really beyond Chen Zhuo's expectations.
And the line of annotations at the bottom of the card really told Chen Zhuo that he was not mistaken.
The originator of forensic science - Song Ci
"Song Ci's biggest ability of the experience card is the autopsy, which is completely useless to me now, but judging from the appearance of the experience card in the past few days, at least there is a pattern for now, that is, a combat experience card, and then a life assistance experience card, although this law has yet to be verified, it may also be eight or nine." Chen Zhuo is now becoming more and more calm, and his understanding of the experience card mechanism is also increasing little by little.
Song Ci's experience card was temporarily put aside by Chen Zhuo, and then went back to the room to sleep until dawn the next day.
still made breakfast for Chen Yuwei as always, about someone wanting to kill him, Chen Zhuo didn't say a word to his sister.
As soon as Chen Yuwei went out today, Chen Zhuo followed out, but he didn't wander around the city, but went straight out of the city.
When he arrived at the city gate, Chen Zhuo also looked on the city wall and saw the wanted portrait that was already a little tattered, and it was Zhou Hu.
Chen Zhuo tore off the wanted warrant, then carried it in his arms, and went straight to the mountains to find the body of Zhou Hu that he had covered.
Finding some wooden sticks and vines, Chen Zhuo made a simple plank, then tied Zhou Hu's body to the plank, and dragged the body to the way back to the city alone.
At first, there was nothing in the wilderness, but when they arrived near the county seat of Qinghe, someone saw Chen Zhuo, and even saw him dragging a person.
This time the pot exploded, and when he arrived at the city gate, Chen Zhuo was already followed by more than a dozen people watching the excitement.
"It's amazing, Chen Muddy actually killed Zhou Hu."
"It's amazing, Gambler Chen has thirty taels of silver now."
"What about thirty taels? Even three hundred taels are not all Nangong officials. ”
All kinds of voices of discussion continued, Chen Zhuo continued to walk forward as if no one was around, others asked him how he killed Zhou Hu, he didn't say, and the onlookers were fierce, saying that they should not hinder themselves from receiving the reward.
Chen Zhuo didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with these people, and secondly, he spent his main energy on observing the people around him, and he wanted the people behind the scenes to see this scene, and his expression should have changed somewhat.
Soon Chen Zhuo came to the county office, and after explaining his intentions, the two officials helped carry the trailer into the lobby, and when they came to the lobby, the county commander and the master, as well as the head catcher and a group of catchers were all there.
Chen Zhuo estimated that this was not because the county government was efficient, but because the county government might get the news when he entered the city.
"People under the hall, why did you come to the county office?" As soon as Chen Zhuo stood in the hall, the county magistrate wearing an official robe asked loudly after the public case.
The surname of this county commander is Jia, and the specific name is not clear about such a small person as Chen Zhuo.
Fortunately, Jia County's order did not let Chen Zhuo kneel and reply like in TV.
Chen Zhuo hurriedly took out Zhou Hu's wanted warrant from his arms, then raised it above his head and bowed down and replied: "Back to the master's words, little Chen Zhuo, lucky to kill the wanted criminal Zhou Hu." ”
"Oh? But the murderer Zhou Hu who offered a reward of thirty taels of silver in Jiangning Mansion? Jia Xianling seemed to be interested, and actually stood up from his chair.
"It's this person, the little one, who has come to receive the reward." Chen Zhuo hurriedly replied, receiving the reward is the right thing.
"Let's wait for this official to see." Jia County Ling didn't say anything clear, and walked towards Zhou Hu's corpse as he spoke, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with this process.
When Jia Xianling came, the master on the side also followed.
This master Chen Zhuo has also heard of it, his name is Zhen Youcai, of course, except for the county order, everyone calls him Master Zhen.
Jia Xianling and Master Zhen stood beside Zhou Hu's corpse left and right, both of them looking up and down carefully.
After a long while, Jia County Lingcai said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "What did you say you were doing?" ”
"Reward? Received a bounty on the wanted criminal Zhou Hu. Chen Zhuo replied almost instinctively, does this still need to be asked?
However, what happened in the next moment was something that Chen Zhuo didn't expect before he came.
I saw Jia County's face solemn, and he scolded in a stern tone: "Bold Diao Min, where did you get this nameless corpse?" If you dare to take the risk of receiving a silver reward, I think you are bold! ”
"What?" Chen Zhuo was suddenly blindfolded, looked at Zhou Hu's face, and compared it with the wanted warrant in his hand, he was sure that this was really Zhou Hu.
At this time, Master Zhen on the side hurriedly said, "Chen Zhuo, are you this nameless corpse found on the mountain?" Fraudulently receiving a bounty is a felony, you have figured it out! ”
Master Zhen's tone softened slightly, as soon as he said this, Chen Zhuo immediately understood, this was clearly Jia County's order wanting to swallow the reward.
For a while, Chen Zhuo was angry in his heart, but he still hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's all strange that Xiao Xiao was confused for a while, seeing this nameless corpse on the mountain, he was fascinated for a while, and he won't dare to do it again." ”
Hearing Chen Zhuo say this, Jia County Ling and Master Zhen both smiled, and then Jia County Ling said in a soothing tone: "It's okay to remember that you are young this time." ”
"Thank you, my grandfather, for your kindness." Chen Zhuo had no choice but to accompany the smiling face.
After a while, Chen Zhuo came out of the county office, his mood was very depressed, he knew that this world was dark, but he didn't expect it to be so dark.
In the lobby just now, for a moment, Chen Zhuo really wanted to use Song Ci's experience card, but in the end he gave up.
Chen Zhuo understood that even if he used Song Ci's experience card, he could reasonably say that the corpse was Zhou Hu, and he could even use Song Ci's aura to suppress Jia County's order.
But then what?
It would be really unwise for him to provoke Jia County's order without even finding out the black hand hidden in the shadows.
As an ordinary person, Jia County Ling has 100+N ways to rectify himself.
Even ten Song Ci in a world like the Great Song Dynasty can't change it, and Song Ci in this world for three minutes still wants to return to the world for a clear day?
Dream!
That's it, isn't it just thirty taels of silver, and it should be taken away by a dog.
However, this account has to be recorded, and there will be more experience cards in the future, and then the field will be recovered.
Along the way, Chen Zhuo comforted himself, and today's incident gave him a clearer understanding of the world, and of course he was even more disappointed.
