Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 12 Conspiracy?Or chance?
Wu Wenjing and Zhou Ze?

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes: "Say."

"At first, it was said by Xian Zun. He turned his back to me at the time, and I only heard a few words, 'unknown origin', 'Wu' or something."

Zhao Liu trembled as he spoke: "Then Master Zhou said that this is a taboo in the imperial court, and he would rather kill the wrong than let it go."

Court taboo, unknown origin?
Xu Chong's pupils shrank suddenly: "Martial arts?!"

"Yes, yes, it seems to be this!"

Zhao Liu nodded repeatedly, and said again: "Master, I went to inquire specifically. Your classmate Zhang Shunyi is currently in the county school and has not been affected for the time being. In addition, my subordinates feel that even if the evidence is convincing, it should not be a serious crime. Decapitate, let alone sit down."

"You have a heart."

Xu Chong glanced at Zhao Liu appreciatively.

"Wherever it is, it is the subordinate's duty to serve the adults."

Zhao Liu withdrew after finishing speaking.

Xu Chong sat on the chair, frowning tightly.

There are books of virtue, martial arts skills?
Even officials like them need to exchange contributions to obtain martial arts skills. How could there be martial arts skills in a small book shop?
There are strange things about this matter, and we can't make a conclusion yet, we have to wait for Zhou Ze to come back.

……

At about the end of the unitary hour, Zhao Liu, who had just left his shift and was about to find Liu Er for a shift, found him again.

"My lord, a few injured brothers have just returned."

Zhao Liu's face was full of surprise, and his voice was a little astringent: "Can you imagine? Master Zhou is actually born with supernatural power!"

"Have you started?"

Xu Chong's expression turned serious, "Be more careful!"

"Yes, Liu Er said that as soon as they surrounded the bookstore, someone suddenly broke out of the window, and even injured several people broke through and left. The speed was so fast that they didn't even have time to see their faces clearly."

Zhao Liu swallowed his saliva, and his voice was a little astringent: "Then, Master Zhou hooked the stone lion with his foot and threw it out..."

"Good guy, that stone lion is half the height of a person, maybe it weighs about five hundred catties."

"It just flew out like that, and the last shot came first, and it just hit the man's vest."

As if afraid that Xu Chong would not believe it, Zhao Liu added: "To be honest, my lord, if Liu Er hadn't patted his chest to ensure that he wasn't exaggerating, I wouldn't have believed it either. How could there be such a powerful person in the world? Isn't it a monster?"

"What about the back?"

Xu Chong didn't express his opinion because it was meaningless.

At dawn tomorrow, those who have seen this scene will completely forget about it.

"Uh."

Zhao Liu was taken aback by Xu Chong's cold reaction, then continued after a pause: "The man was hit by a stone lion, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fled to the south of the city. There is no doubt that people will die, and they can't run very far, and they are still leading people to search for them."

"Is that so."

Xu Chong thought about it, and asked again: "How is Liu Er's injury, can you consult a doctor in time?"

"Thank you for your compassion."

Zhao Liucheng hugged his fists sincerely, and then said: "They went to the medical clinic to see them on the way back. They were all skin traumas. They will be fine in two days, and they don't even need medicine."

The injury is so slight?

It seems that the person's strength is average, at least not much stronger than himself.

Xu Chong nodded, ignored Zhao Liu, and began to pace back and forth in the hall thinking.

When Zhao Liu was telling the story just now, his eyes and movements were very natural, so he shouldn't be lying.

The whole thing seemed normal, after all, Master Zhou had already done it, and it was not the next day, so he could confirm it by just asking around.

'Assume it's a conspiracy. '

'If it's a conspiracy, there must be a special purpose. '

'What is the purpose of making the first and second leaders work together? '

'They themselves occupy the absolute authority of Canglong County. There is no political opponent to speak of, so it can only be a benefit. '

'The benefits that can make their hearts move...could it be the third master's black money? '

'It's very possible. '

'In their eyes, I am the only son of the third master, and I absolutely know where the third master hides the money. '

'So this trap is to catch me? "

Xu Chong's eyes turned cold, and at the same time he was a little puzzled: "But why do they think I will be hooked?" '

'Because of Zhang Shunyi? '

'That's right, Zhang Shunyi is my best friend. For this friend, I will either arrest Zhang Youde and interrogate him personally to prove his innocence, or I will release Zhang Youde under the guise of public aid. '

'No matter which one, I will go to Zhang Youde. '

'But is the existence of martial arts skills superfluous?In their eyes, I should still be an ordinary person who knows nothing...'

Thinking of this, Xu Chong suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Wang Jiaoyu! '

'If they guessed that Wang Jiaoyu had already informed me of the existence of martial arts, then the martial arts skills would not be superfluous, but an extra layer of insurance to get me hooked! '

'Being stern and selfless, perverting the law for favoritism, enriching one's own pockets. '

'No matter whether my external persona is real or not, all possible actions are counted to death! '

Xu Chong was sweating coldly, and he was extremely afraid of the black hands behind him.

At this point, the logic chain based on the conspiracy theory has been basically completed.

It's just that the conditions are limited and cannot be verified.

Of course, there are other possibilities that cannot be ruled out.

'Assuming this is not a conspiracy, but a normal arrest operation? '

'How should I explain that such a thing as martial arts exercises will appear in an ordinary book store? '

Xu Chong's brain turned wildly, "Could it be... Youde Bookshop is actually an additional channel of the third master, and Zhengyang energy is also obtained from it?" '

Thinking of this, Xu Chong's heart skipped a beat.

He has always been concerned about the source of Zhengyang energy, and wants to open up additional channels, this time may be an opportunity.

Even if you can only get the follow-up of Zhengyang Jin, the harvest is quite large, which can save a lot of spiritual resources and make longevity more possible.

'It's just too risky. '

Xu Chong was a little frustrated, "The possibility of a conspiracy is relatively high. If it falls into the hands of Wu and Zhou Zhou, life and death will be unpredictable." '

Just when he suppressed his heartbeat and was about to give up participating in this matter, a flash of lightning flashed across.

'and many more! '

'Even if it is a conspiracy, this conspiracy is based on the fact that I am an ordinary person! '

'If it is done properly, perhaps this risk can be taken! '

Xu Chong suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes were horrified: "Zhao Liu!"

"Subordinates are here."

.........

In order to hunt down the suspects, Canglong County has been under martial law, the doors of every house are closed, and the streets are empty.

When Xu Chong and Zhao Liu rushed to the south of the city, Zhou Ze was leading a dozen yamen servants to search from house to house.

"Master Xu?"

Zhou Ze was surprised, and said with a smile: "It seems that the rumors are true, Mr. Xu is really sleepy during the day and energetic at night."

"Smiled."

Xu Chong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou has worked tirelessly to search for the suspect himself, which really makes me ashamed."

"Wherever it is, it's all for the imperial court, why should it be so important."

Zhou Ze laughed and suggested, "Master Xu must have known the reason for coming here, why don't we just work together."

"How dare you continue to bother Mr. Zhou?"

Xu Chong looked straight at Zhou Ze, "Master Zhou, you can go back and rest."

"Ok?"

Zhou Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression became ugly: "Master Xu, what does this mean?"

"Means nothing."

Xu Chong spread his hands, "Arrest and prison are the responsibilities of Dianshi. Since the official is here, there is no need for Mr. Zhou to act on his behalf."

"you!"

Zhou Ze's face sank like water, his eyes were burning: "Okay, okay, what a classic history, what a master Xu."

After uttering a harsh word, Zhou Ze seemed ashamed to stay any longer, turned his head and walked towards the Yamen.

"Zhao Liu, take a few brothers to see off."

Xu Chong gave Zhao Liu a wink, and said: "It's getting late, don't let the thieves who don't open their eyes disturb Mr. Zhou."

"Yes, my subordinates will deliver Mr. Zhou safely!"

Zhao Liu showed a knowing smile, and pulled a few yamen servants who were close to him to lead him away.

Xu Chong squinted his eyes, staring closely at Zhou Ze's back as he went away.

Just now, if Zhou Zefei wanted to stay and handle the case together, he would turn his head and leave without hesitation, and would not stay for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ze left so simply.

Could it be that there is no conspiracy?
