Chapter 105.

In particular, the ones who had just ventured out to dislike Zhou An were now like quails, with their heads lowered, not daring to say much.

The member of the Zhen Gui Division who had spoken to Zhou An in the beginning was filled with shock.

The one upstairs was the hand of the entire Yunlai Prefecture’s Zhen Gui Division.

It was too shocking that the head of the division would come downstairs to receive him.

Zhou An did not feel anything, putting the long knife back into the pink money bag, he lifted his foot and walked towards the stairway.

Accompanied by this action of Zhou An, the members of the Zhen Gui Si who were blocking the front silently moved out of the way without saying a word.

Zhou An suddenly stopped and looked towards the member who had spoken to him at the very beginning, with a mocking flavor in his tone.

“Does your face hurt?”

The right side of the Zhen Gui Si member’s face was swollen, having just been slapped by Zhou An.

This sentence was a double entendre.

It was both asking if the place that had been slapped hurt, and referring to whether or not what had just been said had been slapped in the face.

The Zhen Gui Si member was silent, but the other half of his face was red, obviously very embarrassed.

“Alright, Kid Zhou, come straight up and stop talking about this.”

The bearded Si Fu yawned as if he hadn’t woken up, and headed straight upstairs.

Zhou An did not continue to flirt either, but followed along the stairs and went up to the second floor.

The first floor had a lot of things placed on it, making it seem a bit crowded, the second floor was different, it was a lot emptier with less placed here.

Sifu went all the way forward and finally reached a secluded room, opened the door and walked in.

Zhou An also followed behind, and when he walked in, his first glance was attracted by the desk in front of him.

The desk was filled with books and volumes half a person high.

Some of the books and dossiers were also opened, with traces of having been turned over on them, so it was clear that the Sifu should have been checking the dossiers here before Zhou An came.

Zhou An smoothly closed the door and turned around to see the bearded Si Fu taking out objects.

It was two jars of wine, which were placed on the table by Si Fu.

“I never prepare tea here, only wine.” Si Fu pointed at the jars of wine on the table.

“Have a seat.”

“Introduce yourself, my name is Zheng Feng, Zhang Stubborn Bull has already told me about you, I am well aware of it, and I also know something about the post station.”

Zhou An was nothing formal, sitting in his seat, taking a sniff of the wine altar and exclaiming, “Good wine.”

Although he did not drink from time to time, he could taste the goodness of the wine.

“Lord Zheng, at the risk of asking, why am I treated differently when I mention Lord Zhang’s name?”

This was what he was most curious about.

By the looks of it, Zhang Sifu didn’t have good relationships here, but on the contrary, he was deeply trusted by the Sifu, or else he wouldn’t have come down personally.

Zheng Sifu took a sip of wine, his face and beard were full of wine, and he didn’t care, he just wiped it with his sleeve like this.

“Isn’t this normal? This world’s officialdom is like this, when you show that you are different, you will be ostracized by your peers.”

“The reason why he’s called Zhang Stubborn Bull is because he’s acting too different, and he still prefers not to change.”

“Here, everyone else has to do their jobs as well, but while doing their jobs, coveting a little bit of small fortune is considered a tacitly permitted thing, and as long as it doesn’t touch the big picture, it’s harmless.”

“But that guy, Zhang Stubborn Bull, has to be upright, and sometimes he even stabs his peers out, so naturally he is isolated.”

“This kid is capable, at least he’s not bad at investigating cases, so I transferred him out, it’s also a kind of protection for him, otherwise he won’t even know if he’s been put in a sack one day.”

Speaking of this, Zhou An also understood.

To draw an analogy, surrounded by silt, only you are immaculate, these silt does not isolate you, who else can isolate?

Of course, for Zhang Si County’s style, Zhou An was more than complimentary.

Can in the mud to maintain their own purity, this is a kind of ability.

Fortunately, Zhang Si County had met a truly enlightened superior who still knew to protect him.

“Let’s get down to business, let me think about what to say first, since you’ve encountered the stagecoach, let’s start with the stagecoach.” Zheng Si Fu took another sip of wine.

“You’ve experienced the matter of the Chen magistrate before, you should have some understanding of the Five Elements Burial Method, recently there have been quite a few incidents not just at that stagecoach station, and they are all cremation burial methods.”

“Well …… fire is good at burning, it is a branch of the Five Elements Burial Method.”

Of the five elements, gold was good at attack, wood was good at recovery, water was good at simulation, fire was good at burning, and earth was good at defense.

Zhou An had seen the simulation of water, and he did not expect that this time, the stagecoach was again related to the Five Elements Burial Sect.

“Has this thing not been extinguished cleanly?”

In the early years, the Five Elements Burial Sect was wiped out, and Zhou An thought that these should just be some remnants.

Who knew that when Zhou An asked this question, Zheng Shifu shook his head.

“It was indeed wiped out clean at that time, but a little bit of news leaked out in the middle, and they spread out their dharma, and then you know, with a shortcut in front of them, no one can hold back unless they are people with extremely high fixation.

“So one after another, a lot of people who had practiced such dharmas came out, and they were utilizing them and started making waves.”

Zheng Sifu put down the wine altar in his hand.

“I also know about this matter, it has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to care.”

Zhou An nodded, since there was news on this side, just let them handle it, his main purpose, was still to come and save Yu Hang.

Thinking of this, Zhou An asked about Yu Hang.

He had only just finished asking this question when Zheng Sifu took out a piece of paper and held it upside down on the desktop.

“This is where your friend is hiding.”

Zhou An frowned and picked up the piece of paper, which had a detailed location written on it.

“So soon?”

He was genuinely surprised that he had only just arrived and had already gotten the information.

“Your brat is still too underestimating the intelligence of the Zhen Gui Si.” Zheng Sifu laughed.

“Back when you guys were dealing with County Magistrate Chen, that guy Zhang Stubborn Bull also helped you find out quite a bit, not to mention that it was only the lowest level Zhen Gui Si.”

“I’m at the Prefectural level here, and I have a much wider intelligence network in my hands, I had already detected that woman when she entered the Yunlai Mansion.”

If the Zhen Gui Division couldn’t even find out this bit of intelligence, then they wouldn’t have made all the people in the Jianghu fearful.

“Many thanks.” Zhou An said his thanks and after memorizing the address on it, he prepared to turn around and leave.

Since he had the information, he would start moving.

Then, according to his thoughts, he might not be able to find out the problem until he participated in the Casting Dao Competition.

What he had never expected was that there was news as soon as he arrived.

Wouldn’t that be just right?

He wouldn’t give the other party time to breathe, and by resolving it as soon as possible, there would be a lot less hassle.

“And slow down.”

But before he could stand up, Zheng Shifu raised his hand, meaning not to rush for now.

Zhou An stopped in his tracks, his gaze tinged with doubt, not knowing what it meant.

Zheng Sifu wiped a handful of wine from his beard and said, “Kid Zhou, if you settle this woman, are you not going to participate in the Casting Dao Competition?”

Zhou An fell into deep thought.

It was indeed the case that if he was able to settle it earlier, it would be meaningless for him to participate in this Casting Dao Grand Competition.

“What Zhang Stubborn Bull means is that you can still participate.” Zheng Sifu said.

“One’s identity is tied to strength, it’s not that identity brings strength, but strength brings identity.”

“If you have a good layer of identity, you can really alleviate a lot of trouble?”

Zhou An nodded, “Let’s talk about it later, I’ll settle this matter first.”

He didn’t want to think about this for now, let’s save Yu Hang first.

Zheng Sifu said, “I received this news just after you arrived, there are already people from the Zhen Gui Si who have gone to keep an eye on it, don’t worry.”

“Many thanks.”

Zhou An didn’t want to continue discussing on this matter, it was still important to settle the matter of Yu Hang first.

Since Zhou An had said so, Zheng Si Fu did not say anything else.

After leaving the Zhen Gui Si, Zhou An rushed to the address he had just given.

At this time of the day, the sky was still bright and there were quite a few pedestrians on the road.

As they walked, the pedestrians gradually thinned out.

Soon, Zhou An arrived at a very remote place.

Even in a prosperous city, there were one or two places where no one passed by.

The one Zhou An was in now was also this location.

When Zhou An arrived at this remote and uninhabited alley, he immediately locked the location.

At the end of the alley, there was a tiny house.

The door to the house there was tightly closed.

Zhou An came to the door and frowned slightly.

Through the cracks in the closed door, he could see a silhouette swaying inside.

Nowadays, he was very, very close to a second-rate expert.

Even if the wind was blowing, he could hear it clearly.

There was only one person’s footsteps inside, and they were familiar.

–Yu Hang.

Zhou An was wondering why Yu Hang was able to walk around freely.

By all rights, he should have been kidnapped.

However, the current situation was special, so Zhou An didn’t bother to think about it in detail and took out a long knife or a pan from the pink money bag.

A murderous aura began to emanate from his body.

Just at this time, the door but slowly opened.

Zhou An carried his knife and frowned deeper when he saw the scene inside.

Inside the room, the lights were dim.

But as the door was opened, a few rays of light shone in, allowing Zhou An to see the scene inside.

Inside was empty, a four-square room with a bed and tables and stools.

Other than that, there was no other furniture.

It looked as if it had been improvised.

Due to the fact that he was able to look over his head at a glance, Zhou An saw that Yu Hang was the only person inside, and the door was opened by Yu Hang.

Yu Hang was also surprised, clearly not expecting Zhou An to come here, but quickly reacted.

He already knew Zhou An very well, and now he also knew that Zhou An must have followed the trail and came over to rescue himself.

“Old Zhou ……”

Yu Hang was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhou An.

“Where are the people?” Zhou An asked.

Yu Hang’s face showed a tangled color as if he was thinking about something.

How could Zhou An not know what was going on with Yu Hang, so he continued.

“That person ran away, but you’re standing in front of me in one piece, Old Yu, I don’t want you to do something else, the relationship between you and I, if I do it, it will be very painful.”

Yu Hang laughed bitterly, “Old Zhou, it’s still you who understands me, the people did leave, and I was lucky to survive, but paid a small price, not a price to be precise, but gained something.”

Zhou An looked around for a glance, although the place was empty and deserted, there was no guarantee that other people would appear, to be on the safe side, he told Yu Hang to go into the house.

“Go in and talk.”

Yu Hang nodded and waited until Zhou An walked in before closing the door behind him.

Zhou An stood next to the table and waited for Yu Hang to continue.

Obviously kidnapped, but now standing in front of him in a good way, to say that there was nothing wrong in here, I’m afraid that no fool would believe it.

The tangled color on Yu Hang’s face became even more intense, but after a while, the tangles on his face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a calm face.

“That woman is called Mi Mo, and comes from a casting sect, and later, she united the remnants of the Five Elements Burial Sect, causing both to lose, and then profited from it, obtaining the Hundred Changes Casting Bead, their sect’s supreme treasure, as well as the Five Elements Burial Method of the Fire Burial Method.”

Just the beginning alone made Zhou An feel slightly surprised.

He didn’t expect the matter here to have a connection with that already faded sect.

“She told you so much and let you go, what did you pay?” Zhou An asked.

These could be major secrets.

For no reason at all, how could they be told?

If one were to follow Zhou An’s temperament, if he were to say a secret, he could only say it to a dead person.

And also make sure to beat the other person to death before saying it.

After all, on certain movies, it was because they didn’t beat the other person to death, told some secrets, and then let the other person run away, and in the end, everything was exposed.

Of course, this was just an analogy, and he wasn’t stupid enough to say secrets, even to a dead person.

However, it was such a situation where Yu Hang had gotten these secrets.

This situation, Yu Hang was still alive.

Zhou An felt that there was definitely something going on here, and it was something big.

“Old Zhou, just hear me out.” Yu Hang continued.

Zhou An did not continue to answer, waiting for Yu Hang to speak down.

“That woman learned the cremation method and also has superior casting skills, she used the fire from the cremation method to refine the metal, and with the superior casting skills, the things she built became stronger.”

Yu Hang rubbed his forehead with the forehead of his hand, trying to recall.

“As for the purpose of her coming here, I don’t know, I only know that she’s here to make things happen, and ……”

While speaking, Yu Hang came under a wall and gently knocked on the wall bricks.

The wall bricks began to shake.

The wall opened up and there was actually a dark compartment inside.

After the dark compartment was opened, two members of the Zhen Gui Si fell out of it, looking like they were still alive.

However, on their bodies, they already had severe burns and were pumping one by one.

“These are the members of the Town Guile Division that were guarding the outside, and had already been discovered by her long ago, and it took me a great deal of effort to keep them alive.”

Zhou An examined them and found that they were indeed unharmed, they just looked heavily injured, people in the line of work could recover quickly.

After checking, he stood up and clapped his hands.

“Old Yu, what exactly did you pay for, why do I feel more and more uneasy?”
