Deng Yufeng, who was sleeping lightly with one hand on the table, asked: "It's been all night, hasn't Qiao Zheng come back yet?"
Deng Zhi nodded slowly: "Not yet."
At this moment, Chen Yinting, the new palace master brought by Deng Yufeng on this trip, walked in quickly and said something in Deng Yufeng's ear. Deng Yufeng's expression changed drastically.
He immediately stood up and walked out: "Let's go to the Zhenxie Department."
…
Zhenxie Division.
After being busy for nearly half the night, the members of the second part of the Suppression Department returned to the house.
After Qiao Zheng's body was discovered last night, Song Zhixian made a quick decision because he was worried that the murderer would not go far away and attack again.
Divided all the small flags and the main team members into two parts, led by himself and Song Shenghua respectively, and supplemented by his two small flags, patrolled back and forth in the city.
The value will be exchanged after the fourth watch.
Song Shenghua yawned and Song Xianxian walked to the front hall.
Deng Yufeng and Chen Yinting were already sitting among them.
I saw Song Shenghua still yawning when he came over, and the rumors he heard when he first came in.
Thinking of Qiao Zheng who he had been waiting for all night but had not arrived yet, Deng Yufeng asked seemingly unintentionally: "Xiao Zongqi, is it because you didn't sleep last night?"
Song Shenghua nodded: "The thief who came from nowhere last night was killed on the spot at the back door of our Evil Suppression Department. We were worried that the murderer would attack again, so we searched for him in the city all night."
Deng Yufeng's heart was beating hard: "Really? Do you need help from my Wufu?"
"No need, the man who was killed was also wearing night clothes, and he didn't look like a good person.
The priority is still to find the murderer of Master Du."
Song Zhixian said: "Elder Deng came to see us and set off together?"
As a result of yesterday's discussion at Cuijiang Tower, the next week will be changed to focus on the Wu Mansion, with the Suppression of Evil Division as the auxiliary.
Conduct a large-scale search in the jurisdiction of Ping'an County, including the following towns and villages.
If he is not found within a week, it is likely that the murderer has escaped.
Compile the information on this matter and hand it over to Dongling County Wufu, who will decide whether to search for the murderer throughout the county.
If this is the case, the Wu government can only find it on its own. After all, the Zhenxie Division and other county governments still need to operate normally.
However, Dongling County Wufu will basically not approve this matter, because the deadline given by Chen Jincai is one week...
"Yes, according to what we discussed yesterday, we will divide Ping'an County into four teams, starting from the four city gates, and go to various towns to find the murderer."
Song Zhixian nodded: "Okay."
According to what was discussed yesterday, the two Xiaoqi brought by Song Zhixian and the two mentors brought by Deng Yufeng will lead the team.
Gu An, Lu Feng and others were then divided into four teams, led by four of them respectively to search.
The method of troubleshooting is also simple.
Take people from the county government to a nearby town and ask if there are any outsiders recently.
However, due to the short time, it is not possible to conduct door-to-door inspections.
Song Zhixian and Deng Yufeng were stationed in the county seat to prevent the murderer from sneak attacks while Ping'an County was empty.
…
On the road ahead to Qinghe Town.
Qiu Ren looked at Gu An aside and whispered: "Gu Xiaoqi, I heard that you had a duel with Mr. Song Qi and narrowly failed in the last move."
Gu An naturally knew that he was talking about Song Shenghua, because there were two general banners of Song Dynasty recently.
When they address their immediate superiors, they always address them as "sir", and the other person as the "general flag".
Gu An nodded: "Yes, you are very powerful, I am no match for you."
Qiu Ren smiled: "Really? Before Song Zongqi came to Ping'an County, he said he wanted to fight Gu Xiaoqi to prove himself.
I also saw the picture he gave me yesterday.
But I found that Gu Xiaoqi in the picture did not seem to be using all his strength.
After a competition, the loser is still the loser, but there is no sweat on the body."
Gu An was stunned for a moment: "Qiu Xiaoqi didn't know something. All the sweat on my body was evaporated by the high temperature of blood."
Qiu Ren patted Gu An on the shoulder: "I can still tell whether it was steamed to dryness or not at all.
Gu Xiaoqi doesn't need to hide it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it.
But before returning to the county town, I hope to have a discussion with Gu Xiaoqi, how about it?"
After a moment, Gu An said helplessly: "I only have the strength of the Body Tempering Realm, why does Qiu Xiaoqi want to compete with me?"
"Haha, Gu Xiaoqi didn't know something. Ding Baihu once said something when he returned to the county that day: Among the younger generation in Dongling County today, you, Gu Xiaoqi, must be number one.
The ninth level of Body Tempering can fight against the ninth level of Condensing Pill and be temporarily undefeated. When you reach the Condensing Pill Realm, I am afraid that even the first three levels of the Gangqi Realm will not be your opponent.
Therefore, we all want to have a discussion with you."
Gu An thought for a while: "Qiu Xiaoqi, why don't I wait until I reach Ningdan before I can compete with you Qiu Xiaoqi? I'm only in the Body Tempering Realm now, so it wouldn't be interesting for you to win."
Qiu Ren lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment: "I will go back in a few days. When you arrive at Ningdan, is it possible that I will come to Ping'an County again?"
"That's not necessary. When I reach the Condensing Core Realm, I will take the initiative to go to the county to find Qiu Xiaoqi, okay?"
Qiu Ren nodded: "This is what you said. When you arrive at Ningdan, you must come to me as soon as possible."
Gu An smiled and said, "Don't worry, Qiu Xiaoqi, I, Gu An, always do what I say."
After the conversation ended, the two of them raised their whips and ran towards Qinghe Town.
…
Inside the Wu Mansion.
Deng Yufeng sat in his seat, frowning slightly.
He originally wanted to go out of the city to chase Gu An personally and see if there was any chance to kill Gu An directly outside the city.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhixian said just now that he would come to Wu Mansion to play chess with Deng Yufeng every day to relieve his boredom.
But Deng Yufeng knew that Song Zhixian knew how to play chess!
I just want to use this reason to delay myself from leaving the city.
At this time, Deng Zhi rushed back from outside and whispered in Deng Yufeng's ear: "Elder, the one who died at the back door of the Suppression Department last night was indeed Qiao Zheng."
"Isn't he a mind master? He didn't notice when someone approached him?"
"I asked someone to bribe a handyman disciple of the Suppression of Evil Department. I heard from him that from the time they heard the sound of fighting outside to the end last night, it took less than five breaths.
This shows that the opponents Qiao Zheng encountered were very tough.
Moreover, according to my estimation, this person is not from the Evil Suppression Department.
You think, the order Qiao Zheng received was to use his mental power to find out information about the Evil Suppression Department.
If this person is from the Evil Suppression Department, Qiao Zheng should be aware of it when he comes out.
But if it were someone outside, even if Qiao Zheng found out, he would probably treat him as a passerby and not pay too much attention."
Deng Yufeng frowned and said, "Can he kill Qiao Zheng so quickly? Is it the same person who killed Zhao Xiong before?"
"My subordinates don't know this."
Deng Yufeng lowered his eyebrows and thought for a long time, clenched his right fist, and then hit the table hard.
"Boom!"
"This person is hiding something. I can't figure it out for the time being. Anyway, Gu An must kill him. I will wait for him with pen and ink."
Deng Zhi quickly got a pen and paper and handed it to Deng Yufeng.
Deng Yufeng picked up his pen and wrote vigorously.
After ten breaths, fold it, put it in an envelope, and hand it to Deng Zhi.
"Send someone to pass this letter to Han Qing and ask him to act according to the plan above."
