Chapter 16: The Shadow

"Last night's ......" After hearing the news, Bai Ya's eyes immediately showed a cold light, and he also felt a little more annoyed.

Obviously, while he was going to test the others, the others also took action.

Zeng Cen and Zeng Hui disappeared last night, and it was definitely not accidental. It was someone else who seized this opportunity when he and Chen Ming were fighting.

"Who could it be?" White Cliff peeked at the crowd present.

Now everyone else in the field is here, except for Qiao's and her personal maid Peach Blossom, even Kong Qing and Zeng Si are standing next to Zeng Xian.

Zeng Xian is a Confucian disciple and has a very deep kung fu for cultivating qi, but he can't help but feel sad at this time.

As for Zeng Si, whose granddaughter disappeared, he was even more old than before, a pair of old eyes that were originally dull and dim, but now they are inadvertently shining between opening and closing, which makes Bai Ya look a little awe-inspiring.

"It's a coincidence, just when Chen Ming and I are out......" Bai Ya knew in his heart and thought secretly.

"This should be the result of the combination of the inside and the outside, it is very simple to arrest Zeng Cen and Zeng Hui, but if you want not to alarm everyone in the house, you need an internal response. No wonder Zeng Xian invited this Pang Dianjian and many soldiers, it seems that the general sentence has not been done in vain in the past few years......"

The responsibilities of the state magistrate are many, but the most important is to manage the litigation case, and it also has the responsibility of supervising the governor. If this official position falls on an upright person, then it will definitely offend people.

Of course, this official position is also very good at training people, and throughout the ages, many Qingtian lords who have been praised by all the people have held similar official positions.

"However, this Pang Dianguan looks good at kung fu, but he doesn't seem to be very good at investigating cases......!

Bai Ya looked at the "black whirlwind" in front of him with some confusion, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Slow, Zeng Xian himself is a general judge who is good at investigating cases, why do you have to let this big bear come to interrogate, could it be...... His focus is not on us?"

"Yes...... No wonder I've always felt weird, isn't this a common routine in detective TV dramas?"

“...... Some of the soldiers should have searched the backyard wing, so let's all concentrate in the front yard! Maybe Zeng Xian is still suspecting that the kidnappers didn't send Zeng Cen and the others out of the house, and the dark light is a common thing in kidnapping cases, and a master investigator like him will investigate this first!"

Thinking of this, Bai Ya was determined, there was nothing suspicious about the things in his room, they were all in the mustard seed bag in his arms!

This thing is nothing unusual for a true sect disciple, but it is definitely not for ordinary Green Forest Jianghu guests. It would be great if Zeng Xian's search could reveal the true colors of Kong Qing and Ning Sangu.

"It's a pity, if it was really Kong Qing and Ning Sangu who did it, how could they leave such an obvious clue, I'm afraid they would take this opportunity to plant the blame!" Bai Ya thought a little gloatingly.

"Wait, I might be framed if I say that......"

Bai Ya's face tightened, and he suddenly thought that if the hidden gangsters wanted to plant the spurs, he and Chen Ming would be the key targets, and at most one of Kong Qing and Ning Sangu would be added, which was a one-third probability.

Besides, Kong Qing and Ning Sangu have been in Zeng's Mansion for a while, and if they are framed, Zeng Xian will give them a chance to explain, only he and Chen Ming are difficult to explain.

In other words, this seems to be a one-in-three probability, but in fact, it is definitely planted for one of him and Chen Ming, or even two of them in one go. Because the hidden gangsters know 100% that he and Chen Ming are not in the same group as them.

"Headache, let me think about it...... First of all, this matter was definitely not done by the local sect martial artists, and those people refused to even arrest Zeng Si, a former wanted criminal, to provoke Zeng Xian, let alone kidnap Zeng Cen. ”

Therefore, it can only be done by Zeng Xian's opponent who hired the Jianghu guest, but Zeng Xian is a six-rank official who is about to be promoted after all, and he has real power in his hands, so it is not a good idea to startle the snake. Unless ......"

"My identities with Liu Ming have been exposed, at least one of them...... That's why they're in a hurry to get rid of us!"

Bai Ya's face was slightly gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Chen Ming next to him, but saw that the other party suddenly showed a strange smile and winked at him.

Obviously, what Bai Ya had just figured out, Chen Ming seemed to have figured it out.

"Huge ......"

"What does he want to do?"

Bai Ya suddenly watched in amazement as Chen Ming stepped forward, leaned over and whispered to the "Black Whirlwind", and pointed at him.

"Could it be...... Peat, Chen Ming, this guy wants to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and sell his brother!"

As everyone turned their suspicious eyes to him, especially Black Whirlwind and Zeng Si staring at him intently, Bai Ya only felt that Alexander, he knew that he would become the main suspect.

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back...... Bai Ya gave Chen Ming a middle finger fiercely, jumped up without hesitation, turned around in the air, and flew towards the courtyard wall not far away.

"Don't let him run!" Seeing Bai Ya escape, the black whirlwind perked up, and pounced on him with a cruel smile, and the surrounding soldiers also quickly ran, trying to block Bai Ya's escape route.

However, they were not the fastest, and they saw a person shoot past Pang Dianjian's side like an arrow, and the last to arrive was the first, and they actually caught up with him at the moment when the white cliff jumped over the courtyard wall.

"Hmph, leave it for the old man!"

The figure held a big hand in mid-air, like a huge umbrella cover pressed on top of Bai Ya's head.

"The fist intent is transformed, Zeng Si is an artistic conception martial artist!"

Bai Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time. Originally, this Zeng Si was supposed to be in the same camp as him, but this would be dealt with by himself first.

"Alas~" Bai Ya sighed secretly, stretched out his hands forward, and the two claw-shaped green mangs in his hands skyrocketed by one foot, like a giant tiger stretching out its tiger claws, and with a slight split from left to right, the umbrella cover composed of qi was torn open a gap, and the figure flashed out.

Compared with a martial artist who has just been promoted to the artistic conception and a qi realm martial artist who has reached the realm of appreciating the void and returning to the truth, the difference is not only between opening the three levels and penetrating the Heaven and Earth Star Bridge, the real difference between them is that the former can control the vitality of heaven and earth, while the latter cannot.

However, the artistic conception of being a Jianghu guest like Zeng Si is not the same as the artistic conception of being born in a sect.

Either because their true qi is not pure, or they don't have a follow-up exercise, or they don't go well when they open the three levels and penetrate the Heaven and Earth Star Bridge, the Dao intentions they achieve will be more or less flawed.

This results in their fist intent incarnations not being solid enough and not being of high quality.

Zeng Si, a martial artist, also had the same flaws, and Bai Ya had already put on his fierce brocade hand at this time, so he broke his transformation fist intent with one move.

It's just that the four of them are old and refined, and when they saw Bai Ya break through the fist intent, the light in their eyes flashed, and their right foot quietly kicked forward, and a black light flashed away from their toes.

"Huh?" Kankan crossed the white cliff at the head of the wall, and suddenly felt a pain in his waist and eyes, and when he looked down, he found that a jet-black triangle iron was embedded in the soft ~ flesh of his waist, and the shape looked very much like the leather sheath in front of the boots.

Of course, Bai Ya, who had often been tested by Tang Hunt's secret weapons before, immediately recognized what this triangular iron was. This is not a boot sheath, but a kind of hidden weapon, which is usually attached to the shoe.

"Fortunately, my brother has hard skills to protect himself, otherwise he would have been seriously injured this time, this old guy is really ruthless!" Bai Ya secretly rejoiced, and looked back at Zeng Si deeply.

After climbing over the wall and landing on the ground, he shook his hand and threw an object at Zeng Si, who was chasing after him, and then used his strength to crash directly into the shop opposite Zeng's mansion.

"Hmph, Banmen has an axe...... Huh?"

Zeng Si snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves, and collected the "hidden weapon" thrown by Bai Ya. It's just that he just glanced at the thing wrapped around his sleeve, and his face changed slightly.

"Where is the thief escaping!" Just when Zeng Si chased into the shop, Pang Dianji, who was invited by Zeng Xian, finally chased over the wall.

This person's martial arts are okay, but his body style seems to be a weakness. When he chased into the shop and came out from the other end, Bai Ya and Zeng Si had already run away without a trace.

"Alas, damn it, the thief was let go in front of him, I'm really ashamed of Zeng Gong!" Pang Dianzhen's expression changed for a while, he stomped his feet with remorse on his face, and walked back towards Zeng's mansion helplessly.

It's just that when he entered Zeng's mansion, he soon found that the person who had told him before, even the servant named Chen Ming, was gone.

"Cheng Ming, didn't he mention the sentry stick in the root mansion and just chased him out with the soldiers?"

"Huh?" Pang Dianzhen was completely dumbfounded this time, and involuntarily looked at Zeng Xian, who was sitting in front of the hall with his eyes closed.

"The door is unfortunate, but I called the inspection and smiled. Zeng Xian showed a good Qi cultivation skill, but he just shook his head and sighed, his face was not worried, and he waved his hand at the servants who were still gathered in front of the courtyard.

"Now that you've found the murderer, you can go away first. Before Zeng Si returned, remember not to leave the house, nor to discuss the matter in private. ”

"Yes, sir!" the servants were still a little frightened, looked at each other a few times, and dispersed as they said.

"Pang Dianzhen, I'm sorry for you!" Seeing that everyone had retreated, Zeng Xian showed a tired face.

"Zeng Gong rest assured, although the lowly position is not good at chasing down the Jianghu guests, but there are lowly officials and the brothers of these inspection departments here, and before the fourth master comes back, he will definitely keep Zeng's mansion safe. The black iron tower-like Pang Dianjian respectfully hugged his fist towards Zeng Xian.

Seeing this, Zeng Xian was a little relieved.

He was able to do an excellent job in the position of general judge, and he was extremely shrewd. As soon as he found out that his only son and Zeng Hui were missing this morning, he summoned this trustworthy Pang Dian.

However, Zeng Xian has been sentenced for several years and knows the difficulty of the Jianghu guest, so he didn't expect this murderer to be caught at all.

The main force to catch the murderer still depends on Zeng Si, and the role of Pang Dianjian is to lead troops to protect him when Zeng Si leaves.

However, no matter how shrewd Zeng Xian was, the countermeasures he could think of in the morning were limited, and he completely fell into the control of someone in the mansion.

Seeing Bai Ya, Chen Ming, and Zeng Si being led away from Zeng's mansion one by one as planned, it finally showed a smug smile in secret......

In its eyes, Zeng Xian has exposed his pink neck like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
