Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That night, everyone commandeered the Zou family's mansion.  Because Zou Fengzhi's incident happened and he confessed to the crime, all his property was confiscated and his family members were driven into a wing and kept under strict supervision.  As for the inspectors of the Wanxiang Yuan Fangtang, as well as a group of county government officials and others, Pei Zhongze had no control over how much windfall they made during the seizure and inspection process, and Zhao Ran had no idea of ??restraint.

    "This group of people work hard, and asking for some benefits is what the question says. If it is too harsh, who will work for you in the future?"  Of course, Hall Master Wei and Team Leader Zhang, who were leading the team, came hand in hand, and the five thousand taels of silver notes they held in both hands were accepted by Zhao Ran with a smile.  The same is true for Pei Zhongze. Who said that monks are really otherworldly?  Without huge financial resources to support it, where can the magic medicine come from?  Where did the talisman come from?  Where did the magic weapon come from?

    ¡°It¡¯s not just the Zou family, it¡¯s the same for Lijiazhuang.  Li Mazi's wife died early, and he himself had no children. All affairs in the village were taken care of by Aunt Zhao. Now that Aunt Zhao is involved in the case, no matter how he is convicted in the end, the Li family's vast wealth cannot be saved.  The inspection team of Wanxiang Yuan and the county government officials rushed to Lijiazhuang overnight in order to capture the suspect Aunt Zhao and take stock of the family property.

    Late at night, Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were sitting in the courtyard chatting. From time to time, the cries of the imprisoned family members of the Zou family could be heard from the wing room in the courtyard next door.  Pei Zhongze sighed: "One person's carelessness affects innocent people, and the Zou family has been defeated. Not only the Zou family, but also the Li family has not been able to get a good deal, so we should not be careless when making friends. If we make friends like Zou Fengzhi, Li Zhong will not only lose his life, but also his family."  It¡¯s really a pity that we don¡¯t even have a successor now.¡±

    Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "I thought senior brother would put the blame on Li Zhong's concubine Zhao."

    Pei Zhongze said: "Although Aunt Zhao is hateful, how can such a weak woman cause so many disasters? It is still Zou Fengzhi's problem"

    Zhao Ran joked: "After all, it's still Li Zhong's problem."

    Pei Zhongze was stunned, and Zhao Ran smiled and said: "If Li Zhong doesn't come back in the middle of the night"

    Halfway through the words, the two of them shouted at the same time: "There is indeed something wrong with Li Zhong!"

    Both of them are practitioners, so staying up late at night is nothing but a hardship to the Taoist priests, inspectors and government officials who followed them.  Everyone was kicked out of the bed by Zhao Ran, and they took Zou Fengzhi with them sleepily, and immediately went to the Li family mansion in Shehong County, arriving early the next morning.

    Most of the powerful martial arts families such as Li Zhong and Zou Fengzhi are also local landlords, so their homes are outside the city.  Li Zhong's body was buried under a river embankment two miles northeast of Li's house. Because it had been many days, when it was dug out, it exuded a putrid smell.

    After Zou Fengzhi went on a killing spree, he had no intention of searching Li Zhong, so the officials easily found a robe from Li Zhong.  He untied the robe and poured out a pile of things, including several large banknotes, a pile of scattered silver, two pieces of yellow paper, and a square-inch silver medal.

    Pei Zhongze picked up the yellow paper and looked at Zhao Ran, and the two of them suddenly became energetic.

    These are two of the lowest-level fireworks talismans. To a practitioner, they are extremely ordinary. However, to a layman who has not yet entered the threshold of spiritual practice, they are very unusual.

    Zhao Ran checked the banknotes and saw that they were all worth one hundred taels, so he naturally stuffed them into his arms. The remaining dozens of taels of broken silver were divided among the inspectors, yamen and others. Everyone was smiling.  , all the fatigue swept away.  He picked up the silver medal and looked at it carefully. Seeing that there were spiritual energy fluctuations on it, he handed it to Pei Zhongze.

    Pei Zhongze took it and looked at it. He frowned and returned it to Zhao Ran when he saw a snake shape engraved on the front.  Zhao Ran asked all the Fangtang inspectors and county government officials of Wanxiang Yuan, but no one knew him. He asked Zou Fengzhi again, and Zou Fengzhi looked equally confused.

    After searching the bodies, everyone entered the Li family mansion again. Aunt Zhao and the Li family servants were detained in the woodshed by the government officials who arrived yesterday.  Zhao Ran gave an order and everyone began to search for clues in various rooms.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT

    Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze looked at the manuscript paper and saw some lines drawn horizontally and vertically on it, along with numbers and the words Tiangan and Earthly Branches.  Zhao Ran wondered: "What is this? Does it look like a geometric figure?"

    Pei Zhongze was puzzled: "Geometry?"

    Zhao Ran said: "Well, it's just the knowledge of calculating the area, shape, and length of land"

    The yamen servant praised: "The immortal master is really knowledgeable. This is the art of traps. I have captured a thief who dug a grave before and I have seen something like this."

    Zhao Ran came to his senses and asked someone to bring Zou Fengzhi over and asked, "Is Li Zhong good at the art of mechanism?"

      Zou Fengzhi replied: "Li Zhong used to make a living by visiting tombs when he was young. He claimed that the martial arts he learned were secrets obtained from tombs."

    Pei Zhongze also figured it out. He was overjoyed and urged everyone to step up the search for more clues.

    They searched everything but found nothing of value, so they pulled Aunt Zhao over for interrogation.  Aunt Zhao had never seen this battle before, and she really knew everything about it.

    At that moment, according to Aunt Zhao's confession, the Taoist inspection team and the county government officials were divided into two teams. One team rushed to the county seat to inspect the house of Zhang Dekun, a wealthy family in the county, while the other team went to the western store of the county to search for the martial arts master.  Chen Dajiang.

    These two people have close contacts with Li Zhong, especially the wealthy Zhang Dekun, who is a well-known tycoon in the martial arts world of Tongchuan Prefecture. His kung fu has reached the advanced level and he is a top figure in the world.  According to Aunt Zhao's identification, Li Zhong has been to Zhang Dekun's house twice this year, and it took him three to five days at least and ten days and eight months at most to return.

    As soon as Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze discussed it, they focused on Zhang Dekun and led most of their men to the county seat.

    Zhang Dekun¡¯s family is located in Zhongyifang, the county seat. The house occupies a small half of the alley. It is really a big family and a big business.  Arriving outside Zhang's house, Tangtou Wei and Team Leader Zhang immediately divided their manpower into four teams. One team blocked the back door, and two pairs of people circled the house for surveillance to prevent Zhang Dekun from jumping over the wall. The team with the most people,  Then he entered through the main entrance and searched for the suspect Zhang Dekun.

    After the assignment was decided, dozens of people, each holding a weapon, broke into the alley and blocked both ends of the alley, blocking it tightly.  A government official came forward and knocked on the door loudly. When Zhang Mansion's concierge came out and took a look, he shrank his neck in fright: "What's the purpose of your coming here?"

    The yamen servant shouted: "Is your master here? Is Zhang Dekun here?"

    The porter timidly said: "My master is taking a nap. If you have any questions, please tell me. I will go and report to the master right now."

    The officer grabbed the concierge by the collar and pushed him straight into the house: "Something happened to Zhang Dekun! Where is he? Lead the way and don't shout, otherwise I'll let you go to the dark prison and have a taste of it!"

    The Daomen Fangtang inspector and the county government officials were all experienced in handling cases. They immediately swarmed in and sealed all the doorways and corridors. When they encountered the screaming servants, they were kidnapped and escorted to a row in front of the main hall.  Platoon kneels.

    The concierge of Zhang House was scared out of his wits by the wolf-like patrols and government officials. He did not dare to resist at all. He was pushed by the government officials and soon came to a small courtyard, and then pointed to the wing in the middle.

    Team leader Zhang winked, and five or six government officials came out in large numbers. Iron rulers, water and fire sticks, ropes and other various objects that could be used to hold people were all displayed, and they closed the door.

    Tangtou Wei also ordered his seven or eight men to inspect the square halls and blockade several key locations to prevent Zhang Dekun from escaping.

    Several government officials had just tiptoed outside the door when they suddenly heard a "snap" sound and the door fell down from the inside out.  The explosion was sudden, and one of the government officials was immediately pushed to the ground by the falling door, while the other government officials fled away in great embarrassment.

    I saw an old man with white beard and white hair standing in front of the door. Although he was old, he was quite strong, especially his eyes were bright, and he looked very majestic.

    Team leader Zhang shouted: "Zhang Dekun, you have committed a crime, are you still trying to resist?"

    This old man is Zhang Dekun, a famous martial arts tycoon in Tongchuan Prefecture. He looked at Team Leader Zhang and said scornfully: "Zhang, you are the only one who wants to stop me?" With a glance, he saw Wei Tang in the square hall of Wanxiang Courtyard.  He turned his head, his face became solemn, he nodded slowly and said: "It turns out that the Eight-Armed Magical Power is also here, it's great!"

    Tangtou Wei said coldly: "Zhang Dekun, it is said that two fists are difficult to beat with four hands. No matter how good your kung fu is, there are so many of us, do you think you will be lucky today? It's better to put aside your thoughts and just capture him without any effort."
