Chapter 40 Catching a Thief
"Reporting to Lord Hou, I came here under the order of Duke Ji to hunt down the traitors in my Pei Yinlang's yamen."

Zhang Shenxing straightened his body, with a meticulous expression on his face, and a serious look in his eyes when he looked at people. Although he looked respectful at this time, he could not see a trace of servility, but revealed that he was neither humble nor overbearing.

Looking at Zhang Shenxing's appearance, Wu Zhaoyun narrowed his eyes. He carefully looked at Zhang Shenxing's appearance, and then his face became a half-smile:
"Then you didn't look for your traitor, how did you find me here?"

Although Chongbei County is not big, it is not that small either.

Wu Zhaoyun didn't believe that it was a coincidence that Pei Yinlang's Feng Yin met him here.

It's just that when he just said this, Shen Xing's face became weird, even a little stiff, he didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth, and then closed it.

Seeing Zhang Shenxing's behavior, Wu Zhaoyun paused slightly, his face became ugly, he seemed to think of something, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, looked at Zhang Shenxing, and said mockingly:
"It must be that old thief Ji didn't say anything good. Tell me, I don't blame you."

Hearing what Wu Zhaoyun said, the corners of Zhang Shenxing's mouth twitched, and he coughed dryly in embarrassment, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhang Shenxing's hesitation, Wu Zhaoyun's face became more and more ugly.

There was also a hint of toughness in the voice: "Say!"

Only then did Zhang Shenxing hesitantly say: "Ji Gong said that your coming to Northern Xinjiang this time will definitely hurt your vitality, so please take care of your health."

"That's it?" Wu Zhaoyun raised his eyebrows a little, he didn't believe Pei Yinlang's nonsense.

"Ah."

There was a twinkle in Zhang Shenxing's eyes, and he lowered his head slightly.

"Heh." Wu Zhaoyun sneered, how could he not notice Feng Pei's dodging appearance?
However, he didn't blame this little character, since the old thief Ji Xuan was willing to disclose his whereabouts to Feng Pei, it proved that Feng Pei was a trustworthy person, and he would not use his identity to bully Feng Pei.

"Then have you found any clues?"

"found it."

As soon as the business was mentioned, Zhang Shenxing's aura became fierce, and his eyebrows that pierced into the sky showed seriousness, "Yesterday, a murder case occurred in Chongbei County. I secretly observed the corpse, and it was because of the moves of my Pei Yinlang Yamen."

"Oh?" Wu Zhaoyun's face became interested, he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Shenxing: "Where is the murderer?"

"I don't know." Zhang Shenxing answered honestly.

"Furthermore, according to my humble investigation, the county magistrate of Chongbei County is looking for the murderer. From yesterday to today, the whole city searched for the location of the murder weapon, but they found nothing. The murder weapon seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Ha ha."

spy?

It sounds nice, it must have done the work of the gentleman on Liang.

Wu Zhaoyun curled his lips in disdain, but he didn't expose it. After all, Pei Yinlang's reputation in the capital has never been very good.

"Go and track down the murderer yourself, the Marquis can't help you much."

Wu Zhaoyun was not interested in this matter, so he ordered Ju Lei to turn the horse's head around, and the two rode together towards the county seat of Chongbei.

Seeing the backs of the two going away, Zhang Shenxing hurriedly bowed to see them off.

It wasn't until the two of them disappeared that Zhang Shenxing got up, looked towards the direction of the county with melodious eyes, and disappeared in the same place with a dodge, and the figure had appeared ten feet away.

Dongpokou blacksmith shop.

"Bang" with a loud noise.

The door of the blacksmith shop was kicked open by Lu Yuanzhi.

Then a group of people came in from behind Lu Yuanzhi. It was a group of fast hands, and the leader was Zhao Laoliu. Zhao Laoliu was as strong as a bear, with a fierce expression, holding a saber like Lu Yuanzhi in his hand, and his face was extremely solemn, especially his eyes, which were staring round like copper bells.

"Tiejiang Liu, something happened to you! If you are arrested now, you can still leave your whole body!"

Zhao Laoliu wanted to vent all the bird anger he had received on Hai Rui these two days on the things in the blacksmith's shop.

They really smashed everything they saw, just like bandits who rob houses.

Before Mr. Zhao came here, he had already heard from the county lord that the purpose of this trip was the old Liu Tou of the blacksmith shop. Although he didn't know how Mr. Hai solved the case, it was not important to him at all.

I just need to be Lord Hai Rui's most loyal running dog. Wherever the Lord tells me to go, I will bite there. Don't care about his right and wrong?
Don't look at that Zhao Laoliu's naive appearance, but he is a real martial artist at the pinnacle of the Suo Jing Realm, and his strength will surely surpass those dealers, who knows how simple and honest.

There are many people in this world who have the talent to practice martial arts, but there are also many talented warriors who can't pass the level of lust, and the state of lock essence hastily broken, which leads to the helpless end of their martial arts. Zhao Laoliu is one of them.

A group of people rushed into the house and searched everywhere.

But the house was silent.

The fires in the smithy were all out.

Lu Yuanzhi's companion has been honestly guarding Hai Rui's side since he kicked open the door, patrolling around with vigilant eyes, guarding against all possible sudden dangers, he is a warrior in the reclamation zone, so he is not afraid of any surprise attacks, but uncle is a real ordinary person.

Therefore, he followed Hai Rui every step of the way to protect his uncle's personal safety.

Hai Rui quietly watched Kuaishoumen's search.

Until everyone searched, but there was no trace of Liu Tiejiang.

"My lord, no one was found."

Zhao Laoliu returned to Hai Rui with an ugly expression on his face, buried his head, and dared not raise his eyes for fear of being punished.

Absconded in fear of crime.

The four words immediately appeared in Hai Rui's mind.

His face was a little ugly.

"You searched for the murder weapon and the thieves for a day, but no one came here? Don't you know if the person left??" Hai Rui's gloomy voice was full of uncontrollable anger.

"My lord, the villain came to investigate yesterday."

A Kuaishou came out of the battle submissively, his face did not dare to look up, and he lowered his head and clasped his fists to report:

"First, I came to the blacksmith shop with Master Wu and asked about the murder weapon, and then I came to interrogate again at noon today. I didn't find anything wrong with it both times, and the blacksmith old head Liu also answered fluently."

What Xiao Kuaishou said made Hai Rui frowned.

This damn cunning thief.

For a while, the uncle was in a dilemma.

If no one can be found, there is only one possibility, and that is that the thief ran away.

"You said you just asked at noon?" Lu Yuanzhi suddenly asked the Kuaishou just now.

"Yes, boss." Kuaishou looked respectful.

"Then he must have not run far, or at all!"

 I have all chased here, let me collect it, Mr. Cao.
