"Exalted man, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!" The man in black named Jie Tu immediately begged for mercy. In their profession, strength is the most respected principle.
Sang Qian on the side opened her mouth and looked at Zu An as if looking at a god. All this happened too fast. The mysterious man in black who was full of oppression a second ago, the enemy who made them despair, unexpectedly turned around in the blink of an eye.
Was he defeated by Zu An with one hand?
And that powerful Tianlong move just now, the way he spoke was majestic and so handsome...
She suddenly understood her sister-in-law a little, no wonder she couldn't help but fall in love with this man, he was indeed very charming sometimes.
Zu An didn't know that his image in other people's minds had begun to reverse. He just stared at Jie Tu and asked, "What's your name?"
"The younger one's name is Gui Li." The man in black robes replied flatteringly, trying hard to squeeze out a smile on his face. Unfortunately, it was even uglier than crying. He didn't have the slightest sense of superiority just now.
"Huh?" Zu An looked cold, and then the other party screamed, his arm was broken, and the other party sealed all the holes in his body in an instant, leaving him no longer able to resist at all.
"Jie Tu, if you dare to play tricks on me again, your hand won't be broken next time." Zu An looked at him indifferently.
Jietu couldn't help being shocked, thinking that very few people knew my name, how did they know it?
Originally, he was a little afraid of the purifying power of the other party, but now that his true identity has been exposed, the image of the other party in his heart has become more and more unpredictable, and he dares to hide even a little bit: "Excellent man, forgive me, superior man, forgive me,
I have used Guili as a pseudonym for a long time, and I have almost forgotten my real name, so I didn’t mean to deceive."
Zu An was noncommittal: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Jietu hurriedly replied: "That's right, I received a commission from a silk merchant some time ago. He paid a heavy sum of money and asked me to help deal with a person..."
"Ah~" Zheng Dan exclaimed and asked hurriedly, "Is that silk merchant's surname Hu?"
"I didn't ask him his name, and he was very sneaky and didn't want anyone to know his identity." Jian Tu noticed that Zu An looked wrong and hurriedly added, "But I have seen his appearance..."
Then he gave a rough description of the man's appearance.
Zheng Dan's face turned pale: "It is indeed him!"
"What's going on?" Zu An asked.
After Zheng Dan explained it, and combined with the confession from Jie Tu, it was not difficult to deduce the truth of the matter. It was obvious that Zheng Dan had brought the Zheng family's business to the capital some time ago, and this would obviously harm the interests of the local silk and satin merchants in the capital.
The other party uses various commercial methods to suppress and squeeze out Zheng's trading company, but Zheng Dan has so much experience. He not only managed the Zheng family's business in Mingyue City, but also secretly controlled the largest gangster. What troubles have he not seen?
Using tricks along the way, not only did the other party fail, but it also took advantage of the trend to increase its market share.
So they relied on the fact that they were local snakes in the capital and had some background, so they used some official means to suppress and target Zheng Dan.
But no matter how poor the Sang family was, she was still considered a high-ranking member of the imperial court. Sang Qian felt a little guilty for her sister-in-law. After all, she had to be left a widow at such a young age, so she naturally had to help the Zheng family in the business world.
Seeing that the methods in shopping malls and official circles were not working, so he turned to evil and found Jietu.
Zha Tu Gan was already familiar with this kind of thing, so they hit it off immediately.
He was conceited about his cultivation, and he was secretive. Even if something happened, it would only be the death of the ghost puppet he raised and would not affect his body. Who would have expected that someone would come to his door so quickly.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. I hope you, hero, since this girl has no real damage, can you please let go of the younger one. The younger one will leave the city immediately and will no longer harm anyone in the future." Jie Tu begged for mercy.
He was very surprised as to why the other party could lock onto his existence so quickly.
Unfortunately, in the encounter just now, the shock the other party gave him was so strong that he didn't even dare to ask.
As for not harming people in the future, that's just talk. Practicing his kind of skills often requires blood and corpses. How can it be possible not to harm people?
Zu An obviously knew this, and said directly to Sang Qian: "Xiao Qian, send this person to the government, and leave the rest to your Sang family to handle, is that okay?"
Now that he is leaving Beijing, and Zheng Dan is also the daughter-in-law of the Sang family in name, it would be better for them to come forward.
"Don't worry, not everyone in our Sang family can be bullied!" Sang Qian glared at Jie Tu fiercely, obviously very upset about what he had just scared her.
Zu An nodded. In the past few years, due to the emperor's instructions, many families had been destroyed by Sang Hong. They were very familiar with this routine. What's more, all the evidence for this certification was available. If this couldn't be done,
, and it was a waste of the great reputation of Sang Hong and his daughter.
He was about to take Zheng Dan away to rest for a long time. During this period, Zheng Dan was mentally and physically damaged and should not work any more.
As a result, the butcher shouted: "Don't send me to the government, I...I have a big secret that I can give to you."
He knew that the imperial court was currently suppressing the art of hating victory, and would impose the harshest punishment upon discovery.
If he was handed over to the government, death would be the best outcome.
"A huge secret?" Zu An sneered, obviously not paying attention to what huge secret such a shady guy could get.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the king hurriedly shouted: "It's related to Yunzhong County Duke!"
Zu An's leaving steps suddenly stopped. If it were someone else, he really wouldn't care much, but this time his mission was to investigate the disappearance of the Yunzhong County Duke, and he would not let go of any clues.
"Oh, tell me, what's wrong with Duke Yunzhong?" Zu An turned around and asked.
"You promise to let me go first." Seeing the other party turn around, Zhantu immediately understood that he was interested in him because of his leverage.
However, Zu An did not relent, and sneered: "What kind of person is Lord Yunzhong? How can you, an evil cultivator who can't walk the streets openly and openly, have anything to do with him? Xiaoqian, just send him to the official."
Sang Qian immediately understood: "Okay."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and led him out.
Jietu became anxious: "I really know. On the way to the capital, I met a seriously injured and dying man. I learned from him that he was a close associate of Yunzhong County Duke. This time he came to the capital to file a complaint.
Yes, I didn’t expect to be robbed and killed on the way.”
After hearing his words, Zu An actually believed it in his heart: "What about the guards?"
"The injury was too severe and he is already dead." Zhan Tu's face looked a little unnatural.
"I'm afraid you refined his soul." Zu An sneered.
Jietu hurriedly defended: "People who practice our lineage do need the souls of strangers. The guard was fatally injured anyway. I just helped him to be freed as soon as possible, so I learned from his soul.
A huge secret."
Sang Qian and Zheng Dan both felt chills in their hearts, thinking that if they died in the hands of these people, their souls would be enslaved by them. It would be a worse life than death.
"Tell me what that secret is. If it holds enough weight, I will spare your life." Zu An said calmly.
"No, unless you swear an oath, if I tell you and you regret it later, I won't be able to do anything about it." It was a matter of family and life, so Jietu had to be tough.
Zu An fell into silence, and Sang Qian and Zheng Dan on the side hurriedly advised him not to swear an oath. After all, this thing is not a joke.
But Zu An had his own plan: "Okay, I, Zhao Zhi, swear here that as long as the secret you tell me is indeed valuable, I will let you live, otherwise, Zhao Zhi will be punished by heaven and earth."
Sang Qian and Zheng Dan originally wanted to persuade him again, but when they heard his oath, their eyes suddenly went straight.
Zheng Dan pursed his lips and laughed, while Sang Qian spat secretly. She was indeed a bad person.
But Jingtu was shocked: "It turns out that you are the Crown Prince of Qi!"
The name of King Qi is resounding throughout the world, and his name as the crown prince is naturally no secret.
Zu An said coldly: "Why, does anyone dare to pretend to be my prince?"
"No, no, that's not what I mean by being young." Jingtu hurriedly apologized with a smile, thinking that it was no wonder he was so powerful at such a young age. He was trained from an early age by the vast resources of the Qi Prince's Palace, which was definitely not comparable to that of a casual cultivator like himself.
And to have such two beauties willingly accompany them, no other man except Prince Qi has such great charm.
Seeing that he had sworn such a poisonous oath, Ji Tu no longer had any doubts and whispered: "The guard came to the capital to report that Duke Yunzhong was not missing that year, but was murdered."
"By whom?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
Jing Tu hesitated for a moment, but then replied: "He was killed by his brother Jian Taiding."
Zu An was shocked. Although everyone suspected that there was something fishy about the disappearance of Duke Yunzhong, they did not expect such bloody brothers fighting against each other.
Once this matter spread, it would definitely cause an uproar, and he did not dare to be careless: "Is there any evidence?"
"The guard seemed to have some evidence on him, but he was taken away by the killer." Jie Tu replied.
Zu An asked for some more details, but it was a pity that he had sacrificed the soul of the guard, causing him to lose his memory. A lot of the information was just scales and claws, and there was nothing more useful.
"Can I leave?" Jietu looked at him hopefully.
Zu An ignored him at all, but said to Sang Qian: "Take him back to Sang Mansion and lock him up. Don't send him to the government yet."
Jie Tu suddenly changed his expression: "Zhao Zhi, you actually went back on your word, aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"
Zu An smiled and said: "What does Zhao Zhi's oath have to do with me?"
