Chapter 23: Dig deep for clues
The reception room of the City Lord's Mansion is as warm as spring, but it doesn't look hot.
Outside the reception room, the alert attendants had already run away.
Inside, only the heavy gasps of two men could be heard, and the table creaked and creaked.
At this moment, the scholarly elders and the fellow elders were all sweating profusely.
I saw the Elder and the Elder Standing on the opposite side of a table, their hands each pressing the drawing with all their might, glaring at each other angrily.
After a long breath, the acquaintance elder said angrily: "Old bald, according to your idea, renovating that drainage facility will not work at all, I don't know how much manpower and effort it will take to add those few bends to the copper steel pipe of my Yanjia Sect! The time of my Yanjia Sect disciple is the most valuable!"
The elder shouted: "Old bronze hammer, isn't my time valuable? Do you understand space and location? Don't you understand that I am willing to teach you for free! Such a layout suddenly shows that the street space is vast, and you have not been chirping crookedly The street is not wide enough?"
The Fellow Elder also roared: "Yes, I said so, but is it necessary to be so wide? Not the main road? When I am a child? Aren't you just trying to demolish these two houses!"
The elder snorted: "That's what I think, and I don't just think like this, I will do it again! If you don't agree, I'll also change the location plan of this place you just set, as well as this street location plan!"
The elder poked his fingers vigorously at the drawings.
The acquaintance elder couldn't help but be angry: "Okay, you change, you go and do this! Without the help of the puppet magic I sent, you can go and pick up the house by yourself, old bald! Hey, I want to see how strong your big copper plate is." “
The elder was not afraid at all: "Hmph, without my help, you can draw the drawings yourself! “
After speaking, the elder pulled the drawings towards him.
The acquaintance elder was also anxious, and pulled the drawings towards him.
Both of them are not low, and of course their strength is not small.
Sure enough, it's torn. With a bang, everyone had half of the drawings in their hands.
An earth-shattering roar from the elder resounded in the reception room:
"Old Bronze Hammer, you pay me for the drawings! Lao Tzu will paint for two days!
You bastard!"
In the Fengxian City Prison Office, Zhang Jingxuan, who was dressed in a brocade robe, sat relaxed on a chair, and the captain of the city guard next to him, Yu Zhitong, was explaining the results of the interrogation to him.
Not far away, the hesitant Know-it-all hands and feet were firmly fixed on the chair.
I saw Uchitong with a gloomy face and said loudly to the Jack-of-all-trades: "Jack-of-all-trades, this is our city guard Commander Zhang, you say everything you said to me yesterday!
Zhang Jingxuan smiled, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and said to Uchi: "Captain Yu, let me talk to him alone for a while." ”
Uchitsu immediately agreed, "Yes!" As if relieved, he quickly walked into the distance.
Zhang Jingxuan looked at the all-in-one who was like a great enemy, he approached the know-it-all and said in a mysterious voice: "Wang Xiaoyi, known as the know-it-all, you are the sixth in the hierarchy under Beichen Zhenren, your parents were killed by the ancient demons when you were ten years old, and later recruited Beichen Zhenren because of your alertness. In addition, we also found two people in your former residence, nicknamed Old Seven, Old Thirteen!"
The Know-it-all had a look of surprise on his face, as if he remembered something, his expression was extremely complicated, and his voice was hoarse: "Commander Zhang, have you always worked hard like this when you interrogated others? Didn't I just not register with the household registration office? You locked me up for seven days!"
Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but sneered and said, "Just because you are also worthy of me to check you?" Your old seven and thirteen have already confessed, and they also said that they will dedicate twenty taels of gold from the seventh compartment under the bed in the residence. ”
The know-it-all couldn't help but stand up and yelled, "These two bastards! That's my hard-earned money saved by decades of hard work! They even told you this!"
Zhang Jingxuan's face couldn't help but sink, and he shouted: "Sit down for me! Why do you want to do so much when you fall into my hands? Tell me, what are you doing when Beichen Zhenren takes you in? Do you know this person?"
After speaking, he took out a portrait from his arms, which was exactly what Xu Hui described on the pursuit warrant!
Know-it-all looked at this portrait, his face changed, he quickly bowed his head and said: "I've seen him, but I know a big man like the captain of the city guard, he doesn't know me!"
Zhang Jingxuan said lightly: "It doesn't matter, you don't say that your seventh and thirteenth elders will also say it, and they will say it more comprehensively than you." During this time, Captain Yu has been quite polite to you, if you think that I am so merciful to people who collude with the ancient demons, it is really too underestimate me!
After speaking, the blue light flashed in his hand, and one of the thumbs of the know-it-all had already fallen off at the root!
"Ah!" Five fingers connected to the heart, the know-it-all who lost his thumb shouted, he gasped, looked at Zhang Jingxuan with a distorted face and said: "You dare to lynching! Captain Yu, Zhang Jingxuan wants to kill me! Help!"
"Keep shouting! Shout out to the sky, I will see who dares to disobey my orders and come in to save you! Now you are the only one who can save you!" Zhang Jingxuan couldn't have a good mood in his heart, whether it was the resentment of collusion with the ancient demons or the fierce eye of the green snake protector.
Zhang Jingxuan looked at Pepsi Channel with a sneer: "If it weren't for the fact that you were still measured in your work, and you hadn't intervened too deeply, you would have returned to Huangquan like your old seven and thirteenth people!"
Know-it-all's face finally sank, he opened his mouth, but closed it anyway.
The blue light in Zhang Jingxuan's hand flashed again, and another thumb fell to the ground!
"Ahh Then the two of them went out together!" explained Know-It-all quickly, tears glistening in his eyes, and he tried his best to keep his eyes open.
Zhang Jingxuan's face relaxed slightly, and he continued to ask, "What did they say when they met?"
Know-it-all shook his head slightly and said, "Where did I hear clearly about the things of the cultivators, and I vaguely remember that afternoon when Captain Xu Hui looked for Master Beichen with a panicked face to save him, what kind of well of sentient beings." Then he quickly left the city, and Master Beichen also went out with him. I don't really know about the rest!"
Zhang Jingxuan nodded slightly, took what he said to heart, and then continued to ask: "What do you do with the daily affairs of Beichen Zhenren?
Know-it-all couldn't help but be stunned, even in the face of Zhang Jingxuan, who was much higher than him, he still shook his head firmly.
"I can't say this thing, I made a heart oath when I was at the beginning of my cultivation, and I would have died without Beichen Zhenren!"
Zhang Jingxuan looked at the know-it-all and said softly: "I can tell you that Beichen Zhenren is long gone. If you provide me with useful information, you can save more people who may have been killed by the ancient demons because of the leakage of the Fengxian City Affairs. Xu Hui fled to the Western Boundary Mountain, do you understand?"
Know-it-all had a lot of thoughts in his heart, his body couldn't help but tremble, and many things seemed to finally have answers.
It's no wonder that the captain of the Gao Gao Shangcheng Guard deliberately befriended the Beichen Lord, and no wonder the Beichen Captain took them in, but let them pay more attention to the movements of the middle-level officers of the city guard.
Therefore, Beichen Zhenren's intelligence network is composed of children from orphans or poverty, luring them to practice the Tao and make them willingly follow it.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally sighed and said, "Actually, we didn't know that Master Beichen was doing things for the Ancient Demon Viscount at first!"
The captain of the Uchitong detachment was chatting with the warden Li Jindou at the door about the girl in Guangling Sanli, a newly opened dojo in the city, when he saw Deputy Commander Zhang Jingxuan walking out quickly in anger.
The leader of the Uzhitong detachment, he quickly greeted Deputy Commander Zhang Jingxuan and said, "Commander Zhang, do you need a little help for you?"
Zhang Jingxuan looked at Yu Zhitong, his face relaxed slightly, and said lightly: "I already know about everything, and it's okay." Release him immediately, and arrange for him to be sent to my house. ”
Li Jindou couldn't help but be stunned, while Uchitong said loudly: "Yes, the subordinates will do it immediately!" At the same time, he constantly signaled Li Jindou with his eyes.
The situation is stronger than people! Li Jindou sighed secretly, and he also bowed.
Zhang Jingxuan nodded with satisfaction and walked out quickly.
At this moment, Zhang Jingxuan, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but regret secretly regretting that a scum like Beichen Zhenren had killed early.
When Gu Xuantang's boss reported the information, Zhang Jingxuan knew that Beichen Zhenren actually had a very secret past with Xu Hui, and the original source of the Heart-Eating Soul Mist turned out to be Xu Hui!
When did the tentacles of the ancient demons extend so long?
How many more such organizations are there?
How many people are there like Beichen Zhenren?
Zhang Jingxuan sighed deeply, he hated people who did things for the ancient demons more than the ancient demons!
At this moment, in Zhang Jingxuan's mansion, the old manager of Gu Xuantang has been waiting for a long time.
