Chapter 719 Encounter

"Tuk-tuk-"

Hearing the knock on the door, Che Lin opened his eyes.

There was a knock on the door, and it was Tang Zhao who he hadn't seen for several months with a smile on his face.

"Secretary Che, long time no see. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Che Lin and the others entered Jianlu together, but Tang Zhao had no skills. They were from different places with different purposes. They just happened to be together today. They couldn't go to see Tang Zhao together, so no one could think of it. say. So Wei Se came out and asked several people to go into different halls to wait.

Che Lin thought that his status was not valuable, and his relationship with Tang Zhao was not very close. He expected that he would be the last, so he simply found a chair in the living room and took a nap.

After such a nap, he actually fell asleep, only to wake up when he heard a knock on the door.

Logically speaking, as a swordsman, he shouldn't be so rash and unprepared, but there was no way. He was too sleepy and couldn't hold on once he relaxed.

Che Lin stood up and said: "Commander Tang. Forgive me for being rude, but there have been a lot of things these past two days, and I haven't slept a wink..."

He looked at Tang Zhao and wondered if he had seen it wrong:

Why does it feel like there is a layer of light on Tang Zhao's body?

When I saw Tang Zhao before, I said that he was shrouded in a layer of light. That was literary rhetoric. Now, when I say that he has a layer of light, that is an objective description.

There is really a shimmer on Tang Zhao's body, warm and soft, like the morning sun.

and……

He seems to be stronger again.

This is just intuition. After all, Che Lin's strength is not enough to judge Tang Zhao's strength. He just has this feeling. This young man who was already incredibly powerful has taken a step further in just a few months.

Damn it, someone else's eighteen years old...

At this time, Tang Zhao was also surprised and said: "Che Zhen's cultivation has improved further, congratulations."

Che Lin smiled bitterly and said: "How can we say that we have made further progress? Now I am only as strong as a swordsman, and I am still far away from becoming a swordsman. It's just that after your guidance and being stimulated by my younger brother's matter, Jian Xin has some understanding. That’s all. This little progress is just better than nothing now.”

Tang Zhao said: "It's only a matter of time for Jianxin to make a breakthrough, and it's only a matter of time for Swordsman. Recently...how are you doing?"

He couldn't directly ask Che Lin about matters involving family matters. Che Lin wanted to say a few words, but forget it if he didn't. But looking at Che Lin's state, it seemed that he was going through more than just family matters.

Che Lin sighed and said, "Che Yu is dead."

Tang Zhao said "hmm" and was inconvenient to answer.

Che Lin explained: "I didn't kill him. He didn't commit suicide. After you left, I left him at home to move him emotionally and rationally, and tried to persuade him for several days. Although he didn't completely let go, he still couldn't. He was no longer as resistant as before. I thought that if he was willing to plead guilty and make meritorious service, he might not have no chance of survival, so I quietly went to beg an old superior of mine and asked him to take Che Yu and me to the headquarters of the Prefectural Prosecution and Prefecture Division, and we would imprison him in the headquarters. , and secondly, to protect him from being harmed by the Demonic Cult."

Tang Zhao nodded and said: "Could it be a superior..."

Che Lin shook his head and said: "No. My superior is still reliable. He took us to the headquarters on a small road. Although we slept in the open air along the way, it was peaceful and there was no trace of the demon sect. Although Che Yu made sarcastic remarks, he also remained calm. We were honest and didn't use all our strength to escape. We entered the headquarters smoothly. Then..."

Tang Zhao stared intently and said, "Has he been silenced?"

Che Lin nodded and said: "Yes. He was silenced inexplicably. He just entered the city and reported the matter to the headquarters. He didn't even wait for the commander and the stewards to come to ask, nor did he go down to the cell. While we were waiting for the news down below, Suddenly no one was there."

Tang Zhao was a little angry and said: "The headquarters of the Prosecution Department is not safe either. Is it colluding with the Demon Cult?"

Che Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Yes. I was still confused when my younger brother died violently. My old superior was well-informed and made a decisive decision to tell me to leave quickly. Thanks to his cover, I escaped from Jishan City overnight. I briefly As soon as I repaired it, I immediately understood that even the headquarters of Jishan City had been infiltrated. It was not suitable to stay in Youzhou for a long time, so I fled westward overnight. I encountered three or four groups of enemies along the way. Thanks to me, I made some progress, and thanks to my sword elephant, I made some changes. , realized two life-saving sword skills, chased him all the way, and fled to Yunzhou."

"When they arrived in Yunzhou, they didn't dare to take action openly. In addition, I had contact information with Chi Zhenshou last time, so I asked him to help me, and then I got rid of the pursuers. I want to stay at the border of Yunzhou The only solution is to be a troublesome guard. I am an incompetent person. The world is so big that there is not much room for me. The most people I can turn to for help is you. Besides, I have an agreement with you. So he shamelessly defected."

Tang Zhao didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns. He thought that Che Lin came to get the sword as promised and that he had already prepared the sword, so he was relieved to see Che Lin later. If he had known this, he would have invited him alone. Go to a clean place and don't let outsiders who don't know the details see you.

He muttered: "No matter what, you stay first, my Zhuoyu Villa is safe. In this world, unless the Imperial Master comes to take your life in person, I, Tang Zhao's sword, will never cause you any trouble." Giving Che Lin reassurance, Tang Zhao continued: "However, we can't just let it go. Firstly, he is your younger brother after all. He should not say anything according to the law. If someone kills someone privately, it is a mortal enemy. Secondly, we are doing this together. The person who was uncovered was captured by us together, so how could it be left unexplained without any explanation? Let alone a rake. Moreover, the Inspector has fallen to this level..."

He stood up, walked slowly, turned around and asked, "Are you wanted?"

Che Lin said: "Not before I escaped from Youzhou. I don't know these days."

He understood the meaning of Tang Zhao's question, which determined how polluted the Youzhou District Inspectorate was.

Tang Zhao is not only powerful, but also has a high status on the surface. If he wants to solve this matter, he can do it in an official way, or he can simply use force to suppress others.

If Che Lin is really wanted, it means that the Youzhou District Prosecution Department is rotten to the core, and the top management is blatantly confusing right and wrong. Unless it is demolished and rebuilt, there will not be so much nonsense to talk about.

Now that Che Lin is not wanted, Tang Zhao continues to ask: "How is your old superior doing?"

Che Lin smiled bitterly and said: "We have also lost contact. I don't know his situation."

Tang Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "Well, let me say two things first. I will protect your people and take care of your affairs. You stay in the mountain first, and I will inquire about Youzhou and collect more information. Get to know the details first, and then make plans. Furthermore, I will ask someone to take your family out and solve any worries first."

After hearing this, Che Lin burst into tears and said, "With your words, what else do I have to be afraid of? If it weren't for you, Che Lin would have died several times. I don't want to thank you for my kindness, I can only repay it with my body in the future." .”

Tang Zhao comforted him for a few words, and then found a Baiyu disciple to send Che Lin to the guest room to rest. He also asked someone to prepare hot water and hot meals to send over. He also sighed in his heart: one more difficult thing has been added to the problem.

He just said that a few months of leisure in the forest was stolen, right? As soon as it came out, there were a lot of things. Nothing can be shied away from.

After leaving the room, Tang Zhao returned to the back hall.

As soon as I entered the back hall, I felt white air filling the air. The white air is mixed with water vapor and the aroma of meat.

There was a small table in the middle of the hall, and in the center of the table was a copper pot with water boiling. Piles of mutton, fat beef, fresh shrimps, meatballs, fresh fish, sheep tail oil were piled around the copper pot... Vegetables and tofu were placed on another small shelf.

At this time, the vegetable plate was still full, and the meat plate was mostly empty. Half of the meat on the plate was in the pot and half in the stomach.

Jiang Shenyi used his chopsticks to scoop up a large amount of fat and thin mutton, and dipped it into the sesame sauce bowl in front of him. When he saw Tang Zhao, he smiled and said, "Junior brother is here? Hurry, I will give you a plate of tofu."

Hearing this, Wei Se and Wei Changle, who were feasting, quickly took out a large pile of mutton from the pot to make room for Tang Zhao's tofu.

Tang Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "Thankfully I came back early, otherwise this mutton-boiled meal would have been like boiled tofu. Where are the two children?"

Wei Changle swallowed a mouthful of mutton and said, "They have finished eating. I think we will definitely have to drink some wine soon, so I let them go to rest first." After saying that, he took out the wine bottle that had been scalding in hot water and started Pour Tang Zhao a glass of wine.

Tang Zhao sighed and said: "When I went out, I was excitedly waiting for us to drink together. Now that I have gone out, I have added a few worries. This wine will relieve my worries." After that, he drank the amber color in the cup. Drink all the wine in one gulp.

Jiang Shenyi looked at him sideways and said, "Is the sky falling?"

Tang Zhao said: "Not yet."

Jiang Shenyi smiled and said: "Yes. Since it didn't collapse today, I'll drink the wine today. How many things will bother you when you get up tomorrow morning? It's just the two of us. We came all the way from Changle, so we don't have to be seen. Are you looking sad? This mutton doesn't even taste good anymore."

Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Senior brother is saying, if the sky is not falling, why bother to sit still all night? Let's go have a drink first!" After that, have another drink. Several people at the table drank with him.

Wei Changle said: "Master, don't worry about me. Since we are not outsiders, we don't need to hide our emotions and anger. If you can talk to us, even if we are weak, we can help you relieve your worries. Besides, you know my sword. , sometimes it is somewhat useful. If you are of any use to me, please don’t be embarrassed."

Tang Zhao muttered: "I do have something to trouble you." He knew that Che Lin was in big trouble. He was being watched by someone, and his family needed help to move him quickly. He originally wanted Wei Se to go, but now that he thought about it, Wei Changle was more suitable. If Che Lin's family disappears, there will be more room for change in this matter.

As for Wei Changle, who is now the deputy governor of the District Prosecution Department and is not suitable for activities in other states and counties. If Tang Zhao refused to trouble Wei Changle because of this, Changle would be sad.

He explained a few words to Wei Changle and said: "In that case, please Changle make a trip for me. Weise can help me collect some information. The Chinese New Year is almost here. Let's have a solid year first. I have to go to the capital next year. Wei Se, come with me."
