Chapter 32: Wouldn't You Say That?
"Gather everyone in the front yard and you watch it yourself."
"No one is allowed to enter the inner courtyard regardless of any movement."
"Understood?"
As soon as he entered the gate of Xu's mansion, Xu Chong gave Lao Li an order.
"Understood."
Lao Li held back his words and bowed down to receive the order.
Not long after, Xu Chong met Zhou Ze in the main hall of the inner courtyard.
He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his hair was messy like a chicken nest, and his face was dirty.
"Doesn't it look like a begging for food?"
Zhou Ze smiled.
"It's not necessary to ask for food, it's true to commit a crime."
Xu Chong stood at the door, his eyes cold: "If you dare to come back, you are not afraid of being arrested?" β
"Hush."
Zhou Ze smiled disdainfully, "Don't try to bluff me, I delayed coming back for so long, just to confirm that Fu Yuanlong is not there." β
"He's gone now, who can arrest me?"
"Are the officials who can catch me? Or are you the ...... A real anti-thief? β
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chong's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?" β
"Okay, don't pretend, after so long, if I still can't figure it out, I'll be the master of this book for so many years."
Zhou Ze couldn't stop laughing, and his mouth was full of slurp, "I have to say, you really surprised me a lot, for the sake of martial arts, you really took refuge in Taiping Dao like this." β
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Xu Chong was secretly vigilant, ready to explode at any time.
"Don't know?"
Zhou Ze seemed very patient, "Then I'll talk more about it." β
"You, Xu Chong, used to be a righteous gentleman, jealous and hateful, upright."
"It wasn't until I learned the secret of the existence of martial arts and household registration from Wang Hezhi that I changed."
"You are eager to embark on the martial arts, you are eager to have power."
"At the same time, you don't want to wait for another three years in vain, so when you hear that Youde Bookstore is secretly hiding evil laws, you are more active than ever."
"It's a pity that Zhang Youde died before you found him, and you didn't get martial arts exercises from him."
"Until the bloody guards chased and killed the Taiping Dao thieves to Canglong, Wu Wenjing and I didn't want to risk our lives, and wanted to put our responsibilities on you."
"But you're not stupid, you know there's danger, and you don't want to take it alone."
"But why did you say yes in the end?"
"Because I told you, the thief may be carrying martial arts techniques."
"In order to start cultivating martial arts as soon as possible, you finally chose to take a risk."
"Tut-tut, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, you must know that it is a Tongmai realm powerhouse that Wu Wenjing and I dare not come out."
"Oh no, you can't say that."
"You know too little about martial arts, you can't judge that the thief is a Tongmai realm, and you don't know that ordinary people can't pose a threat to Tongmai martial artists."
"You're nothing but a wretched worm blinded by greed."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ze smiled mockingly, "I'm sorry, it's too far." β
"In short, you took advantage of the prestige of the Bloody Guards to search and arrest in the city, pretending to be doing your best."
"Actually, I'm afraid you found the female thief in the first few days."
"You don't know what method you used, either bribery, or coercion, and a part of the officials to hide Fu Yuanlong."
"Then, you cooperated with the female thief, diverted Fu Yuanlong's attention, and asked her to find the right time to infiltrate the county government, kill Wu Wenjing, and kidnap me to pretend to be a water ghost, and finally successfully escaped."
"Tut-tut, one ring after another, blinding everyone with encouragement, it's just seamless."
Smack, smack, smack!
Zhou Ze slapped his face, his face full of admiration, "Xu Chong, Xu Chong, you impress me too much, if I'm not mistaken, you have already joined the Taiping Dao, right?" β
"So, you came back to kill me, to avenge your calculations?"
Xu Chong did not admit it, nor did he deny it.
"Kill you? No, no, no! β
Zhou Ze's expression suddenly turned cold, "There is something you may not know yet." β
"Once the crime of the thief is reviewed by the Criminal Department, the imperial court will reduce the person's household registration to the craftsman's registration."
"When the time comes, what enlightenment, what vein, what martial arts, will all disappear from my memory."
"Even if I have the strength to open the eightfold, I can't show it at all."
"I don't even dare to think about what I'm going to become!"
"You've caused me to fall to this point, wouldn't it be too cheap for you to kill you so simply?"
Zhou Ze stood up and walked towards Xu Chong step by step, endless resentment boiling in his eyes: "I will use all the cruelest and most vicious punishments on you, so that you will regret being born in this world!" β
"Wait."
Xu Chongyi raised his hand, frowned and asked, "You said that the thieves are all craftsmen?" How can a person from the Taiping Dao cultivate the Martial Dao? β
"Heh, it's naΓ―ve, this kind of secret is something that everyone can know?"
Zhou Ze smiled and got closer and closer.
"Hmm, so, Taiping Dao has a way for people to avoid the fifth-class household registration, and you ...... Didn't join Taiping Road? β
Xu Chong suddenly relaxed and hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, Taiping Dao said that people like me are not worthy of joining...... Hehe, didn't you, who deserve to join, fall into my hands? β
Excitement and madness mixed with despair, making Zhou Ze's face distorted to the extreme, looking extremely terrifying.
But Xu Chong was more relaxed, and said lazily: "Didn't you say that earlier?" Waste this half a day's work. β
Fu Yuanlong had explained to him the big medicine and the treasure medicine, and through this, he deduced that Zhou Ze only had the highest eightfold enlightenment.
So he wasn't worried about Zhou Ze's strength from the beginning.
He was only worried that Zhou Ze joined the Taiping Dao, and if he was killed, would it attract retaliation.
It's good now.
Taiping Road does not accept it.
Kill it, kill it.
Xu Chong loosened his suppression of Zhengyang Jin.
"Half a day's work? What do you mean ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ze's pupils shrank to the extreme.
This feeling!!
No way!!!
In Zhou Ze's perception.
Xu Chong has changed from an ordinary person with nothing special to a supreme existence that cannot be looked at directly.
That kind of majesty and dignity was something he had never experienced in his life.
Even when he met the heavenly officials when he participated in the official assessment in the capital, he didn't have such an exaggerated feeling!
A Xu Chong, no matter how special he is, can he be compared with the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials?
No way!
This must be a delusion!
Zhou Ze fell into great doubts about himself and the world.
"Meaning, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you anymore."
Zhengyang was vigorously drumming, and Xu Chong's figure disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, he had already grabbed Zhou Ze's neck with one hand.
Bang - click!
One punch.
With just one punch, he broke Zhou Ze's collarbone.
It was only at this time that Zhou Ze finally came back to his senses, and then fell into an even greater shock.
"Ninefold !! of Enlightenment"
"How is that possible?!"
