When Mu Yi returned to the inn, he was surprised to find that Xie Zheng was here.
"I've met you, sir." Xie Zheng saluted immediately when he saw Mu Yi. There was clearly a bit of awe in his eyes. From the first time he saw Mu Yi, he felt that Mu Yi was not simple. This was why the two uncles and nephews were willing to give
One of the reasons why Mu Yi worked so hard, and then they came all the way to Cangzhou, just to complete what Mu Yi told them.
But I didn't expect this, but the news came that Mu Yi had shown his great power, and even the famous Bafang Hall was destroyed by him. However, although the Bafang Hall was famous, it was too far away from Xie Zheng.
, he just heard more.
But it was different in Cangzhou City. Whether it was the Xu family or other families, they were all extremely powerful in his eyes. They could crush him to death with just a single move. However, these families joined forces and gathered hundreds of people to surround them.
After killing Mu Yi, news came that the entire army had been annihilated.
During this day, almost everyone in Cangzhou City was discussing this matter. Originally, some people might have looked down upon Mu Yi, thinking that his reputation was just picked up, but at this moment, no one had such thoughts. After all, that was
However, hundreds of lives were lost, including direct descendants of several powerful families, but they were all killed by Mu Yi.
As a police officer in Cangzhou City, Xie Zheng knew more than outsiders. He knew better that there were not only first-class masters, but also several half-step first-class masters. Even the Shenji Battalion was dispatched, but even so, he still
No one could survive, and therefore his awe for Mu Yi grew even stronger.
I feel even more grateful that I made the right choice. Although following Mu Yi involves great risks, there is no doubt that the ultimate reward will be huge.
Xie Zheng was so old that he no longer had any extravagant expectations, but Xie Miao, as his favorite nephew, was regarded as the hope of the Xie family. In order for Xie Miao to have a good future, he would risk his life to fight for it.
Moreover, he knew Mu Yi's character very well. As long as their uncles and nephews served Mu Yi loyally, Mu Yi would never treat them badly in the future.
"No need to be polite, what's the important thing for you to come here at this time?" Mu Yi asked directly. After all, he is getting a lot of attention right now. Xie Zheng definitely took a big risk by coming here. If he was accidentally discovered, Mu Yi
Of course Yi will be fine, but with Xie Zheng's identity, he will definitely not survive.
That's why he asked Xie Zheng if there was anything important. He believed that if it hadn't been for something important, Xie Zheng would definitely not have taken such a risk due to his composure.
"Replying to your lord, I do have something to report." Xie Zheng said.
"Tell me." Mu Yi sat down, then looked at Xie Zheng and asked. Although Xie Zheng was just an ordinary person, Mu Yi had never underestimated him. In just one month since he arrived in Cangzhou City, he could stand up
Once you get a firm foothold and get a job in the government, it won't be easy to get involved completely.
"Sir, do you still remember the Qian family in Shilibao?" Xie Zheng said directly.
"Of course I remember. Are the Qian family planning to settle a score with me?" Mu Yi asked. He had a deep memory of the Qian family, especially Qian Mutong. If it weren't for the power of the copper lamp, he might not be able to win it cleanly.
The opponent, and seize the bronze lamp.
He expected that Qian Bu Tong would settle accounts with him. After all, the two had a deep hatred. However, in the short term, Mu Yi did not think that the other party had that strength. By the time Qian Bu Tong recovered, he would have left Cangzhou City long ago, not to mention that he
If he can defeat the opponent once, he will be able to defeat him a second time, or even a third time, and he will not show mercy again in the future.
Even if it wasn't for Yuxi, he would have killed Qian Butong.
"Everyone in the Qian family has disappeared. My subordinates think this is very strange, so they dare not hide it and come here to report it to your lord." Xie Zheng said.
"Everyone in the Qian family disappeared?" Mu Yi was stunned, a little confused.
"Yes, after learning about this matter, my subordinates sent people to inquire in various places, and finally heard something from someone who was familiar with the Qian family's children." Xie Zheng said with a solemn face.
"Say." Mu Yi was also a little more serious. Although he was definitely not a threat because of lack of money, it didn't mean that he would be arrogant.
"According to what that person said, Qian Butong summoned all the direct descendants of the Qian family to perform ancestor worship." Xie Zheng said.
"Sacrifice to ancestors? If it is just to worship ancestors, then those direct descendants of the Qian family should not have disappeared. Could it be that the whole family escaped?" Mu Yi said doubtfully.
"This is what is strange to me. The Qian family's properties are all there, and there is no news of any sale. Moreover, I have also asked the people guarding the city gate. I have not seen anyone from the rich family leaving in the past few days.
Later, my subordinates sent people to sneak into Shili Fort, and unexpectedly learned that all the Qian family members suddenly disappeared one night." Xie Zheng continued.
"Well, everyone in the Qian family has disappeared for no reason." Mu Yi stood up and walked slowly in the room. He couldn't help but think about the money, or even the Qian family. Is there any conspiracy here?
"How much do you know about the Qian family? Especially the money-impaired one. As far as I know, the money-impaired person should belong to the second eldest son of the Qian family, right?" Mu Yi suddenly asked.
"Sir, Qian BuTong is indeed the second eldest brother. Originally, Qian BuTong should have had an eldest brother who was also the head of the Qian family, but it is said that the other man suddenly disappeared a few years ago, and then Qian BuTong succeeded him as the head of the family." Xie Zheng replied.
.
"Missing?" For some reason, Mu Yi suddenly thought of the old man in the secret room under the Iron Lion. At that time, he felt that the other man's behavior of begging for death was a bit strange. He did not even ask for anything until he died, and he did not even ask him to avenge him.
.
Although it was just a guess, Mu Yi had a strong intuition that the trapped person might be the missing brother who had no money.
Mu Yi even vaguely guessed the missing direct relatives of the Qian family, but he still couldn't believe it. Would he really dare to do this if he didn't have enough money? How unconscionable would that be?
"By the way, do you know if Qian Baotong has any heirs?" Mu Yi suddenly asked.
"No, as far as my subordinates know, this Qian Butong never married or had any children," Xie Zheng said.
"Hehe, I have never married and have no heirs." Mu Yi is now 70% to 80% sure, but if he wants to be sure, he may still need to go there.
"I already know about this. I'll sweep away the tail outside later, and then you can leave." Mu Yi glanced at Xie Zheng and said.
"Yes, sir." Xie Zheng said immediately.
Mu Yi originally planned to practice hard tonight. After all, yesterday's battle was still very beneficial to him, but now it seems that he can only postpone it for the time being. If it is as he guessed, I am afraid that this money will not be available immediately.
He would become his formidable enemy, and now that it was almost time to open the King's Tomb, he would never allow any accidents to happen.
Mu Yi believed that Qian Barrier would definitely not let go of King Xian's tomb, let alone him, so the best way was to eliminate this threat before the tomb of King Xian was opened.
He kept his promise and didn't take action at the beginning, but that doesn't mean he still does so now.
After Mu Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand to the Year Bamboo on the table and prepared to go out. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xie Zheng, "By the way, have you been paying attention to the Qian family?"
Xie Zheng was stunned by Mu Yi's question, but then his expression changed drastically. Although he did not answer, Mu Yi vaguely guessed something from his expression.
"I don't dare to deceive you. This matter was suddenly informed by a police officer yesterday. At that time, my subordinate thought that he had just been sent to search for information about the Qian family a few days ago, so he didn't think much about it. Now that you have reminded me, I'm afraid it's not like that.
Simple." Xie Zheng was sweating profusely. In fact, he had thought through a lot of things at this moment, especially why it went so smoothly when he investigated this matter. Everything seemed to be assisted by God, and news came one after another.
Now it seems that it is not that his subordinates are so capable, but that someone deliberately wants him to know. As for the purpose, it is self-evident. They just want to use his mouth to inform Mu Yi.
"Please punish me, sir." Xie Zheng said and knelt down directly on the ground, his head hanging down. Originally, with his character, he should not have made such a mistake, but he was taken advantage of. If Mu Yi really went
If so, wouldn’t it mean that you have fallen into someone else’s trap?
When he thought of this, Xie Zheng felt terrified.
"There is no need for punishment. I have my own thoughts on this matter." Mu Yi pondered for a moment and said. In fact, no matter whether it is a trap or not, I am afraid he has to go there. Without seeing the truth, he will not be able to feel at ease. Of course, there are more
Or because he is talented and bold, and with enough cultivation, he believes that he can break out of traps.
What's more, even if it is really a trap set by Money Barrier, maybe he can add some lamp oil to his copper lamp. After all, Money Barrier's Black Dragon is the only thing he knows that can be turned into lamp oil. Just for this reason,
He absolutely needed to go.
"I'm willing to find out for you, sir." Xie Zheng said immediately, intending to turn his merits into a crime.
"Forget it, just go back and continue to do your job. It's best to recruit some capable people. I will be of great use." Mu Yi then said, with Xie Zheng's three-legged cat skills, let alone being a spy,
I'm afraid any third-rate master can destroy him.
What Mu Yi valued in Xie Zheng was never his kung fu, but his ability to investigate cases and do things. The reason why he asked him to win over some people was for future plans. After all, he would need a lot of people when he took over as the commander of the Suzaku Flag.
It would be difficult for him to feel at ease without some of his own people.
With Xie Zheng's abilities, if he trains himself well, he might not be able to become his right-hand man, similar to a master's staff.
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that Mu Yi did not punish or even alienate him for this, Xie Zheng was relieved, but then he secretly decided that he must not betray Mu Yi's trust anymore. If he messes up the next thing again, I'm afraid he will be in trouble with Mu Yi.
His status in his heart is about to plummet, and that situation is definitely not what he wants to see. (To be continued)
