Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 77 0077: Request Rejected

After entering the main hall, Captain Zheng gestured for everyone to sit anywhere.

Captain Zheng changed his attitude, poured a glass of water for Cheng Zongyang, and said:
"So you are Cheng Zongyang. My cousin mentioned you. He admires you very much.

This was the first time I saw him help an ordinary person like this. He even came out to help a kid choose a house and gave him a jade pendant.

However, since my cousin gave you this jade pendant, it means he thinks highly of you. Tell me what it is. If it is within my ability and does not violate the rules, I will solve it for you. "

Cheng Zongyang was stunned.

Although he had just guessed that the two might be from the same hometown or relatives, he did not expect that there really was such a relationship.

My cousin is the manager of Tianxianglou, but my cousin is the head of a county police station? What's going on?
But I heard that Tianxianglou has branches in many counties, maybe there is a family behind it?
But he didn't delve into it further. After listening to Zheng Tianhai's words, Cheng Zongyang sighed inwardly.

You've already set the premise before you even start talking about the subject! What else can you say next?
But you have to try.

Then, he slowly spoke out the words he had prepared:
"Captain Zheng, I have a relative who runs a clinic in the south of the city called Cheng's Clinic. His name is Cheng Guangshan, and he is my second uncle.

I heard from my aunt that he was taken away by officials from the government office last night. I don’t know what happened to him and my family is very worried.

So I asked the boy to come and ask about the details and see if I can bring my uncle back."

"Doctor?" After hearing this, Zheng Tianhai was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you know the current situation in the county and outside the county?"

After Cheng Zongyang pondered for a while, he asked tentatively: "Is it about the epidemic?"

Zheng Tianhai stared at Cheng Zongyang. Suddenly, his gaze moved and fell on Cheng Zongyang's temple. He paused for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

“It seems that you know a lot. But since you know this situation, you should know the importance of the doctor in the city.

Now the county magistrate is mobilizing all the doctors in the county to treat the epidemic before it spreads completely.

So your second uncle won’t be able to go back in the short term, unless the epidemic is lifted.”

These words made Cheng Zongyang's heart sink.

Although I anticipated from the beginning that the other party would not help, I never thought that even if I took out the jade pendant, the result would still be the same.

It seems that this cousin doesn't give face to his cousin.

But since the other party is so strict about the rules, I can't force him to do anything. And I don't have the right to ask the other party to break my rules.

Unless his cousin shows up in person.

For a moment, he didn't know how to continue.

Cheng Zongyang pondered again. After thinking for a while, he tried to say:

"Captain Zheng, there are so many doctors in the county, it wouldn't matter if my uncle is missing, right? For a matter like this, one more or one less makes no difference."

"One more person means more strength." Zheng Tianhai said, "You can't take him away. The inspection department has received orders from the county lord to protect the doctor. This cannot be violated."

Protect?

Humph, it must be the guard!

Cheng Zongliang sneered in his heart.

Having said that, Cheng Zongyang said no more, and said:

"In that case, I won't embarrass Captain Zheng. But can I meet my second uncle? So that my aunt at home can rest assured."

Zheng Tianhai pondered over this request for a while, then nodded:

"That's not a problem. You can tell the guard at the gate of the county government office tomorrow. We will take you in then."

Cheng Zongyang stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Captain Zheng."

He was about to leave. However, Zheng Tianhai suddenly asked, "How old are you this year?" Cheng Zongyang was stunned, surprised by this sudden change of topic, and then replied, "I am fifteen this year."

Zheng Tianhai was quite surprised.

A fifteen-year-old warrior!
He looked at Cheng Zongyang with eyes that gradually brightened up, and then asked, "Who is your master?"

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang finally understood the other party's purpose of asking him.

He saw that he was a warrior.

Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment and said, "I am a farmer. I once met a knight-errant in the mountains. Because I helped him with a small favor, he taught me a few moves. It took me two years to become a warrior."

This statement is consistent with what he said about Li Lu, so if they are compared, there will be no mistakes.

Of course, the final right of interpretation lies with him, believe it or not.

Zheng Tianhai didn't think much about it and said with a smile:

"It's rare to see a 15-year-old warrior. He's very talented at such a young age, and he's really a good candidate. No wonder my cousin is so optimistic about him."

Seeing that Zheng Tianhai had said nothing more, Cheng Zongyang stopped asking further questions. He bowed again and said:

"Then I'll take my leave now. I'll come to the county government office to bother you again tomorrow."

Zheng Tianhai nodded and then sent Cheng Zongyang to the door.

Warriors are different from civilians, especially in this special period in the county, they need warriors more! Maybe we can talk about whether we are willing to join.

Outside, it was completely dark.

"Brother Cheng." Before Cheng Zongyang walked out of the alley, he suddenly heard Li Lu's shouting in front of him.

Cheng Zongyang was stunned. He never thought that the other party was waiting for him here. He thought he had gone back.

But the way the other party addressed him made him feel it was quite real.

"Uncle Li, thank you for your hard work."

Cheng Zongyang didn't ask why the other party was waiting here, and he didn't care about the change in the other party's address to him.

If you have a purpose, it's useless to ask.

Li Lu smiled and waved his hands: "Not really. Brother Cheng, I wonder if the conversation went well?"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head as he walked: "Uncle Li, you also know the character of Captain Zheng. What I proposed is contrary to Captain Zheng's philosophy, so I only allow him to meet once."

Li Lu seemed to have anticipated this, but there was also some regret in his anticipation:
"It is said that Captain Zheng is upright and abiding by the rules. This is also his style. But it is really unexpected that Captain Zheng did not give you face when you brought the token with you."

Cheng Zongyang glanced at Li Lu. What does this mean?
Cheng Zongyang pretended to be ignorant of Li Lu's words and nodded:

"Yes. But things cannot be changed. We can only think of another way." Cheng Zongyang sighed and asked, "Uncle Li, doesn't Captain Zheng care about anything?"

Li Lu pondered for a while before shaking his head and saying, "I really haven't thought of this.

Everyone knows that apart from work, Captain Zheng either goes home or eats tofu pudding at Chongling Street. It seems that he doesn’t do anything else.”

Eat tofu pudding?
Cheng Zongyang was stunned. A warrior in his forties often goes to eat tofu pudding?

Do you like something so strange?

He suddenly asked curiously, "Is tofu pudding sweet or salty?"

"What?" Li Lu didn't understand.

"fine."
