Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 26

When Chu Tang arrived outside Wang Yuanwai's mansion, the You Hour was almost over, and it was already dark.

There is no moon in this night, and the autumn dew is pleasant, only the occasional lights on the long street outside the mansion.

The vermilion lacquer gate of Wang's mansion was closed tightly, and two white paper lanterns were hung under the eaves. The pale light swayed and swayed in the swishing autumn wind, making it extremely creepy no matter how you looked at it.

It was only then that Chu Tang remembered that, after careful calculation, today is the seventh day after Wang Juncheng's death, which is exactly the famous "first seven"!
"It's a bit unlucky!" Chu Tang smiled wryly, as if he had come at the wrong time.

However, it took him half an hour from the east city to come here to the west city, how could he go back without achieving his goal?
If it's all here, then we can only bite the bullet and go on.

He went forward and knocked on the door, saw the porter, announced his identity, please see Wang Yuanwai, and asked the other party to report.

The concierge didn't make things difficult for him, let him wait for a while, closed the door again, and went inside to ask for instructions.

Standing outside the door, Chu Tang was full of thoughts, thinking about what he would say after meeting Wang Zhiquan.

In fact, before coming here, he was quite hesitant whether to tell Mr. Wang the truth.

What truth?
It is the truth about the death of Wang Zhiquan's son Wang Juncheng - the woman in Tsing Yi and the cat man Xiao Ming have left, and only he, Chu Tang, in Shixian County knows the reason.

Regarding this, he, Chu Tang, was caught in a dilemma.

Don't say anything, I feel hard to understand, after all, strictly speaking, the murderer was let go by him.

Although Wang Juncheng was guilty of death, Wang Zhiquan didn't know about it after all, and Chu Tang had also inquired about the other party's character, he was not the kind of rich and unkind person, and he had a good reputation among the people of Shi County.

It is really not very benevolent to let someone else's son die in an unclear manner.

Well, here comes the problem: The prisoner was robbed, and the Yamen said before that there was no result of the interrogation, so how did you, Chu Tang, know the truth?

The yellow mud fell off the crotch, it was either shit or shit!

After struggling with his conscience for a long time, Chu Tang decided to come over.

Just when his thoughts were chaotic, with a creak, the door opened again, and two people walked out.

One was the concierge who went back and forth, and the other was beyond Chu Tang's expectations.

Wang Zhiquan went out to greet him in person?
At this time, Mr. Wang was dressed in plain clothes, sad and haggard, and lack of energy, but his gaze was still bright.

The only thing that surprised Chu Tang was that Wang Zhiquan didn't welcome him in, but instead walked up to him and asked expressionlessly, "Boss Chu, what are you looking for with Wang?"

Chu Tang froze for a moment, looked around, and asked, "Are you talking here?"

Wang Zhiquan sent the porter away first, and then said calmly: "There is a funeral in the mansion, it is inconvenient to receive guests, the porter said you have something to tell me, so just tell me here."

Chu Tang smiled wryly, well, he wasn't even interested in letting him in, so he just gave him a non-stop door.

"It's fine." Chu Tang didn't force it, and he organized his words before expressing his intention, "The murderer who hurt your son was taken away by someone, and Wang Yuanwai must have heard about it."

"Why, the head of the Chu team still wants to show off the incompetence of the county government?" Wang Zhiquan said sarcastically.

Chu Tang shook his head and said, "He is highly skilled in martial arts. I am not an opponent, and my skills are not as good as others. There is nothing to say. Chu came here today to inform Wang Yuanwai of the murderer's motives."

"Motive?" Wang Zhiquan's face changed drastically, "What did the thief say?"

Chu Tang continued to consider his words and said: "Actually, before the prison was robbed, Chu was interrogating the cat man. The guy was a little crazy, and his words didn't match up. Figured it out."

"Say it quickly!" Wang Zhiquan was anxious.

"His surname is Chang, his name is Xiao Ming, and he is from Shi County."

"Is it?"

"Ten years ago, he was in Shixian County. His sister, at that time, had entered the noble mansion as a maid. The story began at that time..." Without any concealment, Chu Tang simplified the story told by the woman in Tsing Yi and continued. Paraphrased again.

This lecture is the work of a cup of tea.

After listening, Wang Zhiquan stood there in a daze, various complex expressions flashed in his eyes, he lost his mind and couldn't control himself, and after a while he murmured: "It's like this? It's like this..."

Chu Tang felt a little sympathetic to him, and sighed: "That's what the other party said. As for whether it's true or not, Chu can't prove it. But your wife is still there, and the servants who handled it back then should also be there. Wang Yuanwai can verify it himself."

Wang Zhiquan was silent, his eyes were wet, and his voice was sobbing: "Thinking of me, Wang, although I am not benevolent, I often build bridges and pave roads, donate to the people, dare not do anything wrong, and live in peace all my life. , this misfortune will happen, and the white-haired person will send the black-haired person when he is old!"

"My condolences to the royal family!"

Wang Zhiquan endured his grief and said, "Thank you, Team Leader Chu, for telling the truth. Wang is very grateful!"

Chu Tang was surprised: "Wang Yuanwai believed that man's words?"

Wang Zhiquan lamented: "More than ten years ago, Wang was busy with business matters, neglected to teach the dog, and developed his surly temper. I thought he was just young and willful, but I didn't expect him to do such absurd things. Later, as he got older and read some books, he was indeed more sensible, but he never expected... Well, it's all retribution! Retribution!"

"My condolences to the staff!" Chu Tang didn't know how to comfort him, and there was only one sentence back and forth.

"Thank you..." Wang Zhiquan smiled bitterly, said no more, cupped his hands in salute, and then staggered and staggered back to the mansion.

Seeing the other party's sad shadow getting longer and longer under the night, the stone in Chu Tang's heart fell, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Retribution?" He shook his head and laughed, "Maybe it really is retribution."

Yesterday's cause, today's fruit.

Ten years of revenge, now revenge.

Maybe this is the rivers and lakes.

Chu Tang's goal was achieved, and he didn't want to delay any longer, so he set off to go home, walked a few steps, and looked back, the gate of Wang's mansion was still closed, and the pale lights outside the door flickered on and off, everything seemed to have not changed .

Taking advantage of the dim lights on the road, he returned home all the way, and Chu Tang, who had put down his affairs, soon fell asleep.

Silent all night.

When he came to the county government office the next day, he found that many police officers from other classes were giving him envious and jealous looks, which made Chu Tang confused.

But soon he understood:
Mr. Wang sent 100 taels of silver to the county government, indicating that 1000 taels would be donated to the county government, and the other 100 taels was the reward promised to the Dingban police.

The other 50 police officers in the Ding class are 100 taels each, while the head of the squad is [-] taels!

Chu Tang was stunned for a long time before he realized that Mr. Wang was really a promise.

This person can get along, and he will really give it to him if he has money!

When he went to the palace to capture the cat demon, Wang Zhiquan promised 20 taels per person at first, but later in the process of arresting the cat people, he mentioned 50 taels in one fell swoop.

When Wang Juncheng was assassinated, Chu Tang thought the matter was in vain, but he didn't expect the turn of events to turn around.

After getting a full 100 taels of silver in his hand, Chu Tang was in a daze: "Could it be because I told him the truth last night?"

A windfall is gratifying.

This is also the mentality of all Ding Ban's catchers, who are in a state of excitement all day long.

When he was on duty, Xu Jin found Chu Tang again, and said with a cheap smile, "Old Chu, come with me to Yihonglou to celebrate?"

"Get out!" Chu Tang rolled his eyes at him, visiting brothels, how can it be as fun as going home to practice martial arts!
There is no woman in the heart, and the sword is naturally God!
Chu Tang, who returned home, really practiced the knife all night, and felt that the blood knife technique had improved a little.

Two days later.

Chu Tang, who was still rushing to the county government office as usual, suddenly found that there were many people from all walks of life on the street, men and women, old and young, monks, priests, scholars and heroines, you name it.

They are armed, walking on the street, or in a hurry, or look vigilant, or maverick, or form gangs, it is very lively.

He has almost never seen these people.

Chu Tang looked serious, and his heart came to his throat.

"What happened in Shixian County?" As a police officer, what worries me the most is that people from the Jianghu are gathered and fight frequently.

Not daring to be negligent, he rushed to the county government office and immediately received Xu Wei's summoning order.

Hundreds of arresters from the entire county government gathered in the martial arts arena.

Xu Wei glanced at everyone, with an extremely serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I just received the exact news that the grave of a former five-level warrior in Meng County next door was dug up a few days ago. A martial arts secret book that can be practiced to the fifth level was rediscovered, and after a fight, it was snatched by a person. It is said that the person was hunted down all the way, entered our Shi County jurisdiction and disappeared!"

"Fifth Realm Martial Artist? Awesome!"

"Cheats of the Five Realms? Do we have hope?"

"What did the headhunter call us to do, let us also grab this cheat book?"

"Stupid, we're the police!"

"..."

All the policemen were also sensationalized, and there were many discussions, and they couldn't agree on what to do.

"Shut up!" Xu Wei yelled, "Don't you guys understand how serious the situation is? Our Shixian County is facing a big event!"

Yes, Shi County has never been as eye-catching as it is today in the past few decades.
