Li Ming was punished and held a grudge against Shen Zhui. The head of the Li family conspired to fight back... Of course, Shen Zhui would not know this.
Even if he knew, I'm afraid he would have to wait a month.
Now he was walking on Dongzheng Street in the south of the city, carrying delicious food from a restaurant and rushing back to see his adoptive father Shen Shan.
"Father, I'm back." Shen Zhui pushed the door but did not push it.
"My foster father went out to sell charcoal again." When Shen Zhui saw no one responded, he shook his head helplessly.
Ever since he made some achievements in cultivation and became a sixth-level prisoner, he was actually considered a middle-class family in Heyuan City.
His salary is good, and his adoptive father does not need to go out to work anymore, not to mention that Shen Zhui solves cases quickly for his good deeds and gets rewards from time to time, so the family is not short of money.
However, he had tried to persuade him many times, and his adoptive father Shen Shan promised well every time, but he still went out to sell charcoal every time.
Shen Zhui had no choice but to think that his adoptive father was restless, and after persuading him several times, he let him go.
Just as Shen Zhui was about to climb in, the gate of a nearby courtyard opened with a creak.
A middle-aged man with a big belly and a mink hat came out.
Shen Zhuyi took a look and didn't pay much attention. The floating population in Heyuan County exceeded 10,000 every day. He often saw the neighbors and couples nearby and entertained some relatives from outside the city.
But when the middle-aged man saw Shen Zhui, he was suddenly stunned.
"It's actually him?"
Because he recognized it at a glance, it was the official who assisted the four innate masters in intercepting him at Hongye Villa.
He was quite impressed by Shen Zhui!
Strictly speaking, if it weren't for Shen Zhui and the four great innates joining forces, it would be possible to catch him.
Speaking of which, Wu Gu escaped with his life because of Shen Zhui.
"How could it be him? Did he find me?!" Ugu suddenly became frightened and subconsciously wanted to run away.
"No! He can't have discovered me. Even an innate master can't see through my disguise in this city if he doesn't have the Zhanzi Token with him, even if he stands in front of me."
In a ten thousandth of a second, Wugu overturned his previous thoughts and felt relieved.
His appearance and figure are completely different now from before, and he has treasures to hide his secrets. He still has this confidence, otherwise he would not come to the city.
Then Wu Gu breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered the food box in Shen Zhui's hand.
"I thought I heard him calling me foster father just now? It seems like it was just a coincidence."
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and when he was sure that his identity could not be exposed, Ugu decided to return to the role he was playing now.
What should a normal neighbor, a sociable wealthy businessman, do when he meets a new neighbor?
"I dare to ask, brother, are you a relative of the owner of this house? The owner went out to pick charcoal at noon. It's not a coincidence that you came." Ugu said hello with a smile.
When Shen Zhui saw the other party greeting him, he immediately nodded politely. "Thank you, husband. I just returned from a few days away. This is my home."
As expected, Wu Gu thought, and he immediately felt more relaxed.
"I see. I, Huang Tong, have just moved here to start a small business. From now on, we will be neighbors. Please take good care of me."
"The shopkeeper is very polite." Shen Zhui smiled and nodded.
The two of them smiled and passed each other.
A faint medicinal scent came faintly, and Shen Zhui frowned.
This man's face was rosy, and he didn't seem to be sick.
But he didn't care and walked into the house.
He's just a businessman in the medicinal herb business.
…………
In the evening, my adoptive father Shen Shan returned home.
Shen Zhui prepared a table of delicious food, and while eating, the two chatted about home cooking.
"Father, when did Brother Liu and the others move away?" Shen asked about their original neighbors, a very kind couple who had lived here for seven or eight years. The relationship between the two families was quite good.
"Four days ago," Chen Shan said. "I left in a bit of a hurry and moved to the south of the city."
"You lived well, why did you move out suddenly?"
"I'm not sure about my father. It seems to be because the south side of the city is closer to the work place."
"I see." Shen Zhui was a little regretful. The couple usually took good care of his adoptive father, but this time he didn't have time to say goodbye.
Chen Shan said: "There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. Don't worry about Zhui'er. Just go to the south of the city to see it when you have time."
Shen Zhui nodded: "My foster father is right."
……………
The next day, Shen Zhui met Wu Gu again.
This time, the smell of medicine on Wu Gu's body was stronger. Shen Zhui also chatted for a few words and found that Wu Gu was indeed in the medicinal materials business.
The other party even joked about taking care of business, and Shen Zhui also laughed.
Back in his room, Wu Gu watched Shen Zhui practicing his sword skills in the courtyard through the wall, his brows twitching slightly.
"This sword technique... actually has such an artistic conception that I feel dangerous. Where does this kid come from?"
Although Wu Gu had absolute confidence in his concealment methods, but suddenly a prisoner came to live next to him, and he was also an extremely outstanding genius. Wu Gu still felt a little worried in his heart.
"Maybe it's because I'm too injured now and I'm suspicious."
Ugu was thinking about whether he should change places, but after a second thought, he gave up the idea.
It's not because of anything else, but because of the battle at Hongye Villa. He escaped in a hurry and didn't have much cash with him. At this time, he didn't have any extra money to buy another mansion.
"It's better to concentrate on recovering your strength and leave the county as soon as possible." After muttering to himself, Wu Gu slowly started practicing with his legs crossed.
………………
Wu Gu began to practice.
However, Shen Zhui stopped practicing his sword skills and couldn't help but glance at the neighbor next door.
Just when Wu Gu looked towards him curiously, Shen Zhui suddenly felt a wave of heart palpitations.
This palpitation comes inexplicably and seems to be there but not at all.
If it hadn't been for the recent recitation of divine allusions, which had strengthened his spiritual awareness, Shen Zhui would almost have thought it was his own illusion.
Even now, Shen Zhui was not sure whether the feeling just now was due to the fact that he had experienced too many battles recently.
Shen Zhui frowned slightly. "I have been in contact with my adoptive father and the wealthy businessman Huang Tong all day today. How can I feel the danger? This is the city..."
Shen Zhui could tell at a glance that the wealthy businessman was just an ordinary person, not even a warrior.
"I must be overthinking." Shen Zhui shook his head and continued practicing his sword.
But at this moment, it was hard for him to calm down. Originally he had some idea of the second move of the Luoxue Knife Technique, but now he couldn't feel it at all.
"The person who can make me feel palpitations must at least be an innate warrior."
"Is there an innate master around here spying on me?"
"It's unlikely. Who would be stupid enough to take action in the city? Even people from the two major families would never dare to enter the city and act arrogantly. Because it is easy to be discovered. And it is difficult to escape."
Two big families...
Although there is the blessing of the ancestors and gods, if an innate master who is guilty of sin enters the city, he will be easily detected and will be given special attention.
Once the county leader pays attention, given the current situation, the county leader can directly break the cover on their bodies, let their sins appear, and then kill them openly and justly.
Therefore, the two major families would never dare to send known innate masters into the city.
Unless there is an innate master who has never shown up and is hiding his secrets, then even if the county magistrate notices, he will not easily offend the innate master who passes by if he is not sure that the other party is indeed guilty.
"Unless there is a master who can hide his sins and conceal his strength at the same time, then if the county lord is not here personally, I am afraid that even if he comes to the city openly, he will not be discovered."
Shen Zhui was startled by his own thoughts.
There are two types of concealment.
One is to cover up the exploration of gods and Taoism. Generally, as long as the innate master does not commit any crime in the city, then the county magistrate discovers that there is an innate master entering the city... He will not explore other people's privacy for no reason. Of course, once he commits a crime, there will be no one in the city. There is absolutely no need to discuss it, and you will definitely be caught.
The second type is to cover up the exploration of the gods and Taoism while also concealing one's own strength.
In this case, it is equivalent to an innate master entering the city as an ordinary person.
It won't attract attention at all!
"Could it be that the two major families are so insane that they want to send a master of double concealment to the city to kill me?"
Shen Zhui couldn't help but think about it.
Is it possible to hide one's own strength? Shen Zhui has never seen it, but he thinks it should exist in this world.
In the past, he would never have guessed like this. He was not so arrogant that he was worthy of being killed at the expense of an innate warrior.
But after experiencing the interception outside the city and the Hongye Villa incident, Shen Zhui felt that it was not impossible for such a thing to happen.
After thinking wildly for a while, Shen returned to the room and lay on the bed, seriously thinking about Huang Tong's actions.
"I came back from Hongye Villa five days ago, and this new neighbor moved next to my house four days ago. It happened to be the day after that incident."
"Brother Liu and his wife have lived here for seven or eight years. If they wanted to change the house for the convenience of work, they should have changed it long ago. What a coincidence, but they have waited until now?"
"He said that he was a medicine merchant, but his adopted father said that he only saw him coming back from buying medicines, but never took them out to sell. If he had just moved here and was still getting familiar with the environment, he should at least go out and walk around more, right? But he didn't. Rarely go out."
The more Shen Zhui thought about it, the more he felt that there was something strange about the arrival of the new neighbor.
Combining the feeling of palpitations with various coincidences, Shen Zhui gritted his teeth secretly.
"Suppose this is true as I think, then he is here to arrest my adoptive father? Or is he threatening me with my adoptive father's life like he threatened He Tong?"
The more Shen Zhui thought about it, the more frightened he became.
You have to find an opportunity to use the system's sin value judgment to observe it!
If there is no sin value, it means that you are overthinking it. If there is a sin value, you can be almost 100% sure that this person is here for you!
