Chapter 120: Receiving the Bounty and Meeting the County Guard
Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground to apprentice, Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled: "You two get up first." ”
"No, if you don't take us as disciples, then we won't get up." The big eye lamp said very stubbornly.
"Yes!" The second hadron also said.
"It's impossible to take you as disciples, and even if you kneel to death, it won't change that." Zhao Ya said lightly.
Hearing this, the big eye lamp and the second hadron showed a look of disappointment on their faces.
"But I can teach you some self-defense martial arts first, and if you can really practice some achievements in the future, I don't want to take you as apprentices." Zhao Ya said.
The big-eyed lamp and the second hadron couldn't help but be overjoyed.
This result was already something they didn't dare to ask for, so they kowtowed again and again.
Zhao Ya waved his hand, motioning for them all to stand up, and then took out more than twenty taels of silver.
"With your skinny appearance now, you may not be able to finish a set of boxing techniques and you will have to lie down tired, you can take this money back and buy some rice, noodles and meat to eat, and raise your body first."
The big-eyed lamp refused to answer, "Master Zhao, you have already given me a hundred taels of silver before, how can I still ask for you?" ”
"That's what you deserve, it's extra, and this silver isn't just for the two of you, don't you have a lot of little brothers, then buy more things, so that your little brothers can also have a few full meals, including your family." Zhao Ya instructed.
Hearing Zhao Ya say this, the big eye lamp and the second strong son took the money.
"Go ahead, take care of your body first, buy a few clothes with the rest of the money, and then come to Ping'anfang to find me when you feel strong."
With tears in their eyes, the two nodded solemnly, and then left.
Looking at the backs of these two children, Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It is true that he could not take these two children as apprentices.
First of all, because they are still too young, don't look at this big eye lamp is quite organized, in fact, they are only nine years old this year, and the second strong son is even younger, at most eight years old this year.
How can you practice martial arts with yourself at this age?
The second and most important reason is that without the support of family background, the flesh and blood they need to practice martial arts is a problem.
I usually can't even eat enough, how can I afford the massive amount of flesh and blood consumption when practicing martial arts?
Zhao Ya can help at the beginning, but what about later?
You must know that even Zhao Ya himself is still too busy to take care of himself, where does he have the strength to help them?
That's why the world's classes are so solidified.
It is very difficult for children from ordinary families to get ahead by practicing martial arts.
If nothing else, just the consumption of the flesh and blood of the alien beast can make ordinary families go bankrupt directly.
However, the rich family has no scruples in this regard, the dried meat of foreign beasts can be eaten casually, and they can also hire famous teachers for guidance, or simply spend a lot of money to worship in the big martial arts sect, so that the gap is not more than mud.
Even Zhao Ya himself might still be a dart game handyman if it weren't for the blessing of the golden finger, and he wouldn't even be able to break through the second realm.
However, although he couldn't accept these two as apprentices, Zhao Ya still decided to help them within the scope of his ability.
This is not only out of kindness, but more importantly, through the arrest of the jade butterfly, Zhao Ya found that it is extremely efficient to find out the news through these children.
After all, no matter how cautious Lao Jianghu is, he will not deliberately beware of these seven, eight or nine-year-old children.
At this time, Zhao Ya searched Lu Jicheng's residence again, but found nothing.
Not to mention gold, not even a golden retriever has been seen.
Zhao Ya was not surprised by this.
If Lu Jicheng hadn't lied, he would definitely not have kept the gold in his residence.
Instead, it is placed in a hidden foothold somewhere to run away in case of an emergency.
As for where this hidden foothold is, only Lu Jicheng himself knows.
Zhao Ya left Tongyifang and returned home.
At this time, although the rain was much lighter, it was still falling, but Zhao Ya's home was very lively.
Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng, Xu De, and even Meng Shiwen and Shi Qingqing are there.
Before leaving, Zhao Ya asked Zui'er to inform Miao Shaocheng and them, saying that he had gone to catch the jade butterfly.
When they heard the news, they rushed to the scene.
Miao Shaocheng even yelled several times to help, but he had no choice but to give up because he didn't know where Zhao Ya had gone.
So when Zhao Ya came back, Miao Shaocheng couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" ”
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.
Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”
Hearing this, the audience was in a commotion.
Miao Shaocheng scratched his ears and asked, "What's going on, how did you find the jade butterfly, tell you about it!" ”
So Zhao Ya told what happened.
When he heard that Zhao Ya actually found another way, he first narrowed the scope of the suspect through the lines and footprints of the jade butterfly.
Then through a group of children to find out the news, he successfully locked Nalu Jicheng and captured him at home.
In the end, after breaking through his psychological defense line with words, and letting him admit his identity in front of the government, Miao Shaocheng couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"Awesome, awesome, why didn't I think of it!"
Xu De smiled: "There are many things you haven't expected. ”
Shen Dao even praised from the bottom of his heart: "The fourth junior brother is really resourceful, and I am far behind. ”
Even Meng Shiwen's eyes when she looked at Zhao Ya softened a lot.
At this moment, Shi Qingqing walked in front of Zhao Ya and bowed to him.
"Thank you Senior Brother Zhao for avenging Aunt Xue and bringing the murderer to justice."
Although Shi Qingqing is older than Zhao Ya in terms of age, she has always been called senior brother by the person in charge of the Dingtai Martial Arts Pavilion.
Zhao Ya hurriedly returned the salute, "Everyone is polite, this is just what people like me who practice martial arts should do." ”
"No, this is not polite, but my sincere gratitude, if it weren't for Senior Brother Zhao, not only would Aunt Xue be hated in the spirit of heaven, but even other women who were mutilated by this Lu Jicheng would also be wronged." Shi Qingqing said very seriously.
Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this.
Miao Shaocheng was even more excited and proposed to drink a few glasses to celebrate.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone agreed.
At this time, it was getting late, and it was raining outside, so I simply fried a few dishes at Zhao Ya's house.
The wine was temporarily sent by Xu Deming's subordinates, although it was not as good as the Feixian Brew in Feixian Ju, but it was also quite good.
Everyone had a great time eating this meal.
Miao Shaocheng asked Zhao Ya even more softly and hard, how did he come up with these methods.
In this regard, Zhao Ya could only smile helplessly.
He can't say that he learned it all by watching criminal investigation documentaries in another world.
Therefore, I can only find excuses to prevaricate in the past.
In the middle of the night, the wine is gone.
The drunken child has already slept after cleaning up the remaining seats.
After Zhao Ya sobered up slightly, he took out a dried golden-spotted black eel and swallowed it into his stomach, and then began to practice.
The day before yesterday, he only ate a Vajra Pill, and now the qi and blood in his body are still very abundant.
Coupled with the blessing of this golden-spotted black eel, Zhao Ya's cultivation has a very obvious effect.
In particular, the progress of liver unlocking has finally broken through the 90% mark, reaching 91%.
Zhao Ya estimated that if the supply of flesh and blood was sufficient, it wouldn't be long before he could completely unlock this liver.
And after catching the jade butterfly Lu Jicheng, Zhao Ya believed that at least for a period of time in the future, he would no longer have to worry about money.
Early the next morning, Du Hu, the head catcher, came to Zhao Ya's residence.
When he saw Zhao Ya, Du Hu smiled all over his face.
"Master Zhao, congratulations, after I went back last night, the surnamed Lu was all recruited, and the county guard was very happy, and specially sent me to invite you over."
Zhao Ya was not surprised by this.
After all, if a vicious criminal like Jade Butterfly is not eliminated for a day, it will be a lot of pressure on the county guard and the entire government office.
Zhao Ya nodded, "Then let's go." ”
After following Du Hu to the mansion, he saw that many people had gathered at the door of the mansion.
There was a lot of talk about the Jade Butterfly being caught.
"Damn, I really didn't expect that the jade butterfly that killed so many women would be a lame old man."
"I heard that this guy is still the gatekeeper of the Chenfeng Martial Arts Pavilion, does this matter still have anything to do with the Chenfeng Martial Arts Pavilion?"
"Shhhh
"Look, look, people are coming!"
Someone noticed Zhao Ya who was following Du Hu on the street in the distance, and hurriedly reminded him.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Ya.
When they saw that the legendary Zhao Ya was actually a young and handsome young man, many people's faces showed surprise, and then they whispered.
"Oh my God, so young? He looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old at most. ”
"Looking at the majesty of that gesture, the lowest is the strength of the peak of the Three Realms, plus so young, it seems that the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall is going to produce another man of the hour."
Of course, there are also those that sip vinegar that are sour.
"Tsk, it's better to be able to practice than to blow this year, blowing so hard at such a young age, isn't Dingtai Martial Arts Hall afraid of accidents?"
"Walked away, I thought what a great character, that's all?"
For these positive or negative discussions, Zhao Yaquan did not hear them.
At this time, a servant dispersed the crowd at the door, and then Zhao Ya followed Du Hu into the mansion.
I didn't enter the lobby, but came to the inner study at the back.
This also represents the importance that the county guard attaches to Zhao Ya.
Because generally only important guests or confidants and friends will be allowed to meet in the study.
When he walked in, the county guard of Yunxiao County, Shang Jingchuan, was already waiting here.
This was the first time Zhao Ya had seen this county guard of Yunxiao County.
I saw that he was wearing civilian clothes, about forty years old, with a fair complexion, a wisp of whiskers under his chin, and he looked polite.
However, Zhao Ya could clearly feel the power of the qi and blood on this Shang Jun Shou.
It's actually a Three Realms martial artist.
It can be seen that in Dayan, even if he is a civil official, he must have good strength in martial arts, otherwise he will not be able to control the scene at all.
After all, there is a huge difference in the strength of ordinary people and martial artists in this world, and if they are really powerless, it is impossible for the martial artists under them to obey orders.
"Zhao Ya, I've seen the county guard!"
Although he was the nominal highest official in Yunxiao County, Zhao Ya only made a simple fist salute.
Shang Jingchuan didn't care about this, but walked forward with a laugh and reached out to pat Zhao Ya's shoulder.
"Okay, sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager, and it's really capable!"
"Lord Gunshou has won the prize, I'm just lucky, it's just a coincidence."
"Why do you have to be so modest, thinking that the jade butterfly has been evil for many years, and how many old hunters who have been famous for a long time can't find any clues about him, Zhao Shaoxia found out the culprit as soon as he made a move, isn't this ability?"
Shang Jingchuan smiled, and then waved his hand.
"Someone, bring it up."
Someone brought up a tray with a stack of golden tickets in the tray.
Shang Jingchuan picked up the golden ticket and handed it to Zhao Ya.
"This is a golden ticket of eight hundred taels, which is the bounty for capturing the jade butterfly this time, in addition to this, I will personally reward you with another hundred taels, don't shirk, this is purely out of my personal gratitude, after all, if the jade butterfly is not removed for a day, I will not be able to live in peace for a day." Shang Jingchuan sighed.
Several major cases committed by Jade Butterfly before were all related to the wealthy families in the county town, so these wealthy families have been putting pressure on the government, which has given Shang Jingchuan a headache.
Zhao Ya didn't shirk it when he heard this, and after thanking him, he put the golden ticket into his arms.
Then Shang Jingchuan smiled and chatted with Zhao Ya.
At this moment, someone outside reported it.
"My lord, the people of the five major families outside ask to see me."
"Let them in."
"Yes!"
After a while, I saw a group of people walk into the study, and the man led by him first greeted Shang Jingchuan, and then looked at Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.
"This must be Zhao Ya Zhao Shaoxia, I am entrusted by my master and several masters, I am here to thank you."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of golden tickets.
"This is six hundred taels of gold, of which five hundred taels is the reward amount, and the remaining one hundred taels are the additional thanks of the head of my family and the masters to Zhao Shaoxia, please accept it."
This is what Zhao Ya deserves, so naturally he will not refuse.
After Zhao Ya accepted it, the man smiled and talked a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.
After this group of people left, Shang Jingchuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiaoya, you can achieve such an achievement at a young age, it is really impressive, I believe that after today, your name will spread throughout the county." ”
Now Shang Jingchuan is not called Zhao Shaoxia, but directly calls him Xiaoya, which seems quite close.
Zhao Ya didn't say anything, just nodded and smiled all the time, but he was thinking about how to say goodbye and leave.
At this moment, a catcher hurried to the study to report.
"My lord, that Lu Jicheng suddenly made a noise in prison, and kept saying that he wanted to see Zhao Shaoxia, and said that if he couldn't see him, he wouldn't confess his crime."
Shang Jingchuan's face sank when he heard this, "Bastard, this little thing can't be done, what is polite to this kind of person, if he refuses to confess, he will be punished." ”
The head catcher looked embarrassed, "But we have already used all the torture tools, and if we use them again, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the court." ”
"I'll go!" Zhao Ya stood up and said.
