Zhao Zheng showed an extremely vigilant expression on his face, and while slowly moving towards the door, he asked coldly.
There were five hundred guards outside the inn, and all around this room were his personal guards. He really couldn't figure out how the old man broke through the guards and came in here?
The masked old man waved his hand, and the chopsticks in his hand shot out, passed Zhao Zheng's eyes, and fell deeply into the door frame.
He looked at the prince, who had a distinguished status in Qi State, and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Looking at the two easily broken jade chopsticks inserted straight into the door frame, Zhao Zheng knew that it was no longer important how the other party entered the courtyard under heavy guards.
The important thing is that if the jade chopsticks can be inserted into the door, they can also be inserted into Zhao Zheng's head, heart, or other places.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes had regained his composure. He walked over, cupped his hands to the masked old man, and said, "Junior was rude just now. Senior, I'm here late at night. What can I tell you?
"
Since the other party has such terrifying strength, but did not kill him immediately, it means that he is not here to kill him. From now on, everything will be easy to discuss.
The masked old man took a sip of wine, then looked at him and asked: "I heard that you have obtained a wonderful method these days. Are you using that method to investigate cases and catch corrupt officials?"
Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows, and for a moment he didn't know the old man's real intention.
Is there someone on that roster that he cares about, or has this matter touched some of his interests?
He looked at the old man and said tentatively: "If this offends senior, I will apologize to senior. If senior has any request, Zhao Zheng will definitely try his best to satisfy it."
Snapped!
The masked old man slammed the table, making a crisp sound, which also made Zhao Zheng's heart tighten.
The masked old man raised his brows, looked at him, and said in a cold voice: "Did you know that the method is called the "debit and credit accounting method", and it is an undisclosed secret that my master spent thirty years researching.
It was just stolen by a traitor. When I chased the rebels out, I discovered that this thing was actually given to you. Tell me, where did you get this method?"
When Zhao Zheng heard this, his expression was startled, and he immediately realized something.
Sure enough, sure enough, the God of Money is just a lowly businessman. How could he come up with such a wonderful method? He must have gotten it from somewhere, made it his own, and then claimed credit in front of himself...
How could such a clumsy method be concealed from him? Zhao Zheng seemed to have seen through everything.
He hugged the old man's fists and said apologetically: "Senior, I'm really sorry. I really don't know. This is a secret that is not passed down by my sect. I hope you will forgive me. I am willing to compensate you. I didn't know that I have
What can you do for your seniors?”
What he fears most at the moment is that this old man has extremely high martial arts skills, a stubborn mind, and is not interested in gold, silver, and power. As long as he wants something, he will be safe.
"Shut up! I am a person who is greedy for power and wealth. I know you are the eldest prince of Qi, but you cannot humiliate me like this!"
Snapped!
The masked old man said something coldly and slapped the table again, which made Zhao Zheng's heart skip a beat and he subconsciously wanted to shout loudly.
"Give."
The masked old man took out something wrapped in black cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng opened his mouth halfway, his back was wet with cold sweat, and his heart was tangled, but when he saw that the old man just handed over something, he was stunned for a moment.
After a long time, when he saw that the old man really had no intention of killing him, he finally felt relieved and asked carefully: "Senior, I wonder what this is?"
The masked old man said slowly: "My whole sect has been studying hard for thirty years before developing this secret method. The purpose is to dedicate it to the imperial court, eliminate the corrupt officials in Qi State, and restore the world to one sea."
Yan Heqing, I just didn't expect that there was a traitor in the door and the secret method was stolen. I was worried that this method would be used by other countries, so I chased him out. I just rushed to Fengzhou when I heard about it."
Zhao Zheng was stunned again and asked: "What does that senior mean..."
"You are very good. You have eliminated corrupt officials without any mercy. You have done good things for the country and the people. I have seen it these days." The masked old man stood up, patted his shoulder and said
: "What the traitor stole was only the fragment of the first chapter of the secret law. What is inside is the entire secret law. I will pass it on to you now. I hope you can maintain your true intentions in the future and don't let people with ulterior motives get involved.
Give up, and don't let me and my master down. If corrupt officials continue, the people will never have peace..."
Things turned around so suddenly that Zhao Zheng couldn't react for a while.
The killer who attacked the inn at night suddenly became selfless for the country and the people. He needs time to digest it.
"Thank you, senior, Zhao Zheng will definitely live up to senior's expectations!"
Soon, Zhao Zheng understood that he was probably going to be lucky today. A mere fragment of the upper part could have such an effect. If he could get both the complete upper and lower parts, wouldn't he be able to dominate the court?
Although I don’t know who this old man is, the person who can study this method must be extraordinary. It is impossible to say that there is something more powerful in it. If he can get it...
The masked old man said in a deep voice: "Here are the complete "debit and credit accounting method", as well as a wonderful way to govern the country and fill the national treasury. You must keep it properly and remember not to spread it. If it is obtained by other countries, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhao Zheng was happy in his heart, but a look of solemnity appeared on his face. He nodded and said: "Senior, don't worry. After seeing it, I will burn it completely without leaving any trace."
The old man nodded and asked: "Now tell me, where did you get this method?"
Zhao Zheng replied without hesitation: "The God of Money, Fengzhou God of Money, this method was dedicated to him."
"The God of Money..." The masked old man nodded and said, "The things have been delivered and I'm leaving. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Zhao Zheng said hurriedly: "I don't know the name of my senior yet. He has made great contributions to our country of Qi. Please leave your name. In the future, Zhao Zheng will definitely write a book and erect a monument for my senior so that people all over the world can admire him."
"Hahaha, I have done my best for the country, am I, Xu Tian, a vulgar person who has done good deeds and left a name everywhere?" The old man laughed and said, "We'll see each other again forever!"
He waved his sleeves, and the door opened immediately. Zhao Zheng blinked, and there was no one at the door.
Zhao Zheng walked out quickly, and a guard immediately came over from the courtyard and bowed: "Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Zheng glanced at them and asked, "Did you see someone leaving my room just now?"
The two guards looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "No, just His Highness..."
"Okay, it's okay. You go down. In a quarter of an hour, let the person in charge of the guard station come to see me." Zhao Zheng waved to them, went back to the room, and looked at the table wrapped in black cloth.
Something, a trace of unconcealable heat appeared in the eyes...
