When An Zheng saw Zhou Shen again, he always felt that something had changed in this person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There was a little more flickering in Info's eyes, and there was something that I couldn't see through. An Zheng has been investigating cases in the Ming Law Division for so many years, and what he is best at is capturing other people's eyes. It's a fantasy to say, but it's a really useful tool.

As long as it is a person who has done evil things, no matter how tough his psychological quality is, his eyes will always change more or less when facing officials. In the past, Zhou Shen's eyes were open, without any impurities. But this goodbye, An Zheng felt that Zhou Shen's eyes were cloudy.

Of course, this is just a judgment and does not really represent anything.

Zhou Shenzai looked at An Zheng carefully for a few moments, and then his face changed slightly: "You are very similar to an old friend of mine." ”

An Zheng asked, "Old man?"

Zhou Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's just that the eyes are very similar, how can you be him, he is dead." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shen turned around: "Come in, I basically have nothing to do with you Qingzhai people, and I haven't dealt with you." As for the proprietor behind you, who has been hiding deeply, I don't know who it is, and I am not interested, I don't know what he sent you to tell me. ”

An Zheng followed Zhou Shen into the study, and then closed the door casually: "Lord City, in fact, I was not sent by the proprietor of my family. As you said, I know that you have always been honest and clean-shaven, and you will never have any interests with any business. Our proprietor and you have never known each other, nor have they intersected. So, how could you send me?"

Zhou Shen paused, and looked back at An Zheng: "What do you mean?"

An Zheng said: "I came back to Daxi this time to report on my work, I am the big shopkeeper of the Yanguo branch of Qingzhai, this time I returned to Daxi through Zhao State, and found some very strange things after entering the customs. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shen's eyes changed: "What's the matter?"

An argued: "The village near the border pass ......"

Zhou Shen: "What's wrong with the village?!"

An Zheng's heart moved slightly, he was sure that Zhou Shen must know something, this was not the reaction that Zhou Shen should have in the past. And it was at that moment that An Zheng felt a trace of killing intent in Zhou Shen's eyes. However, this killing intent was fleeting and well hidden by Zhou Shen.

An Zheng carefully recounted what he saw near the frontier, Zhou Shen looked very serious after listening to An Zheng, and then shook his head: "I haven't been out of Angu City for thirty years, and things outside the city have always been reported to me by my subordinates." For so many years, I have never heard anyone say that such a strange thing happened in the frontier, you can rest assured, I will send someone to investigate, if it is true, I will definitely find out about this matter and give an explanation to those people. ”

An Zheng nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave." ”

Zhou Shen: "You can't leave first, after all, you found out about this matter." I will ask my subordinates to follow you on a trip, and as for delaying your time, I will write a handwritten letter to you, explaining the reason for the delay, and then you can hand it over to your proprietor, and it is expected that he will not embarrass you because you assisted in the investigation of the case. ”

An Zheng didn't plan to leave so quickly, and his mind was full of the appearance of the hungry ghost on Kuocang Mountain this day.

"Okay, I'll go to stay at the Qingzhai branch in this city, and if the city lord has any orders, just send someone to find me in the storefront. ”

Zhou Shen snorted: "Go ahead, you are a chivalrous person, very good." ”

An Zheng politely said a few words, and then walked out of the city lord's mansion in the direction of Qingzhai in the ancient city of An. He is a very meticulous person, and when he pretended to inquire about the location of the city lord's mansion, he had already asked where Qing Zhai was. So he didn't have any delays, he didn't go to the wrong road at all, and went directly to Qingzhai. An Zheng knew that someone was following him, and Zhou Shen's flickering eyes were very problematic.

After entering Qingzhai, An Zheng directly showed the token given to him by Tai Che, and the shopkeeper of Qingzhai was obviously flustered, and then hurriedly invited An Zheng into the inner hall.

"Who are you the proprietor?"

The shopkeeper asked, it seemed that this was an old man in his fifties, with a good figure and not many wrinkles on his face. The shopkeepers of Qing Zhai are well treated, and most of them are cultivators, so I can't tell how old they are. He had previously told An Zheng that his name was Niu Su and that he was a native of Angu City.

Of course, An Zheng didn't say anything casually, and still used the identity of the shopkeeper of the Yanguo branch, just saying that there was something to do when he returned to Shengting City. He has this token on him, and of course Niu Su will not suspect anything.

When An Zheng came along the way, he always felt that something was wrong with the people here, and the situation in the city, which seemed to be almost unchanged for thirty years, also made him a little worried. But before Niu Su could say anything, someone from outside came in to report that someone from the City Lord's Mansion had come and asked An Zheng to come over to assist in the investigation of the case.

An Zheng went out and saw a team of sturdy men in bright red brocade clothes, and the person at the head looked extraordinarily strong. There is a special temperament that only soldiers have, and the whole person looks like a sharp javelin. His eyes are particularly cold when he looks at people, as if he wants to look directly into people's hearts.

"I am the captain of the city lord's mansion, my name is Zhou Zijian. The lord of the city has ordered us to come and fetch you, and we will go to the north to see the situation, and if it is convenient for you now, come with us at once. ”

An Zheng nodded, he turned around and explained a few words to Niu Su, the shopkeeper of Qingzhai, and when he spoke, he found that there was some fear in Niu Su's eyes.

An Zheng is very unaccustomed to riding horses, very unaccustomed to and does not like it.

Zhou Zijian asked a few brief questions along the way, and An Zheng answered truthfully, and there was no communication between the two of them. followed the twenty or thirty red-clothed people who saw Zhou Zi, and they were even more silent, not saying a word along the way. I don't know if it's my own delusion or psychological worry, An Zheng always feels that these people are all weird. It's not just them, everyone who enters the city is weird.

After leaving the city, all the way to the north, these horses are extremely good, like galloping. Zhou Zijian looked around from time to time, but he didn't know what he was looking at.

After walking about a hundred miles to the north, it was almost noon, Zhou Zijian raised his hand, and the team behind him immediately stopped, which shows that these people are really well-trained. Dismounted neatly, stood neatly on one side, and waited for Zhou Zijian's orders.

"Let's take a break. ”

Zhou Zijian handed An Zheng a kettle: "If it's fast, we won't sleep at night, and we can arrive within two days." But the necessary rest is still needed, just eat something, drink some water, and try not to delay time. ”

When An Zheng took the kettle, he summoned Tianmu from the blood bead bracelet and stopped in An Zheng's palm. When An Zheng held the kettle, Tianmu's voice immediately sounded in An Zheng's head.

[The water is poisonous, herbaceous toxin, extremely violent, but colorless and tasteless, and is a top-grade poison. There are herbs corresponding to detoxification in the blood bead bracelet medicine field, which have been extracted. 】

An Zheng remained silent, took the kettle, opened the lid, took a sip and handed it back. Zhou Zi saw that An Zheng's face had obviously eased a lot after drinking the water, and then he found a stone on the side of the road and sat down.

An Zheng knew that he was waiting, but An Zheng, who had already extracted the antidote, naturally would not be poisoned. But he was going to act, so after a few minutes, An Zheng's face became a little pale, and then he squatted down holding his stomach: "You guys...... You're going to kill me!"

Zhou Zijian didn't stand up when he sat there, and glanced at An Zheng lightly: "It's not that we want to kill you, it's you who are looking for death yourself." Even if you come to Angu City, you honestly rest for a night and then go honestly, and there is no intersection here, how good?"

An Zheng clutched his stomach and fell there: "You ...... Why? I'm for the people of Angu, why do you want to kill me?"

Zhou Zijian: "That's your troubles, there is nothing you need to take care of here." Everything is fine here, the people are happy, everyone is following the rules. Even if we all check the yamen, we haven't received a case for a long time, and the people here love each other, and there is no contradiction. If you do anything wrong and destroy the beautiful life of our ancient city of Angu, it will be our dereliction of duty. ”

An Zheng bit the corner of his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Why? Before I died, I wanted to know why!"

In fact, the means of fighting for peace, even if these people are captured and forced to question, can almost be asked. But now, An Zheng still hopes to get something out of Zhou Zijian's mouth. After all, he is about to be a dead man, and often what he can't ask for by torture can be said to the dead. A dead man is a dead man, and of course no secrets will be revealed.

Zhou Zijian looked at An Zheng, and after being silent for a while, he asked An Zheng: "You say, what kind of world is the best world?"

An Zheng pretended to be stunned: "What the fuck does this have to do with me, I just want to know why you killed me, could it be that I did something wrong?"

Zhou Zijian said: "That's right, even if you did something wrong, my problem is not unrelated to you." The most perfect world, of course, is what I just said, where nothing evil happens, and everyone lives in harmony and neighborhood. Everyone smiled kindly, said hello, and lived their lives. There won't be much communication between people, because once there is too much communication, there will naturally be conflicts. As long as there are contradictions, there will be grievances. As long as there are grievances, there will be life and death. ”

Zhou Zijian said: "Angu City is very good, Angu City is a paradise." The people here are all kind, and there are no contradictions and grievances between each other. We don't need help, ever. The maintenance of the local affairs is the business of the yamen, which we all procure. ”

He looked at An Zheng: "I like young people to be chivalrous, but don't be too troublesome." When you die, we'll bury you well, and I'm using the best poison......"

After he finished speaking, his face changed: "This poison attack should not be your reaction now." ”

An Zheng smiled helplessly: "How do I know what the reaction is...... After talking for a long time, you didn't say a word about the point, so I had to ask you in another way. ”

He stood up and patted the dust off his body: "Let's use the method I'm used to, you guys get ready, it might hurt a little." ”
