…

Jiang Zhou returned to his residence and couldn't help but sigh when he recalled You Xu's attitude towards him.

Now he really has someone on his head, not only a person, but also a giant Buddha.

Even Lao Youtiao was a little flattering towards him.

This is good, his life will be much easier in the future, he won't have to bear the pressure all the time and worry about cold arrows coming from nowhere.

However, the stability gained by relying on other people's names is still too empty after all, and it cannot give Jiang Zhou a sense of security.

No matter how long this kind of stability can be maintained, at least there is a witch in front of me, and I'm afraid she won't buy it.

He can't relax yet.

Jiang Zhou thought for a while and then temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts.

He took out the demon-slaying sword and started practicing in the courtyard.

It wasn't until nightfall that he stopped.

After resting for a while and recuperating enough energy, I took the gold-gilded post.

Prepare to go to Chen Mansion for a banquet.

Although You Xu asked him not to be responsible for Miss Chen's case, since Jiang Zhou had already started and made some progress, it was impossible for him to give up just like that.

Yi Sanliu's death was a small obstacle in his heart. Finding out the truth personally was an explanation for Yi Sanliu and himself.

Moreover, the so-called wealth is gained through risk.

With Taiyi Wu Yan Luo and Long Cuo Cao around, Jiang Zhou is still confident that he can at least save one life as long as he is not a demon that exceeds the lower third level.

If he could successfully kill that thing, his harvest would probably not be lower than that of the sprite.

The worst case scenario is losing half your life.

Well worth the fight.

Tongjifang belongs to the wealthy area of ​​Wu County and is very famous.

He found the Chen Mansion easily.

Chen Yuanwai is worthy of being a wealthy businessman in Wujun City, and his residence is very luxurious.

The two red-lacquered doors are more than three or four feet wide, and two stone sculptures of exotic animals stand in front of them.

When Jiang Zhou arrived, he saw Yuan Chen's fat figure already waiting on the steps outside the door.

I couldn't help but walk over a few steps faster.

"Mr. Chen."

Chen Yuwai heard the sound and looked over. When he saw it was Jiang Zhou, he suddenly smiled.

He quickly came down the steps to greet him: "Oh, Mr. Jiang is here. I apologize for the delay in greeting Mr. Chen."

"Why is Mr. Chen so polite?"

Jiang Zhou cupped his fists and said, "How dare I ask you to wait here in person?"

Chen Yuanwai laughed: "Hahaha, it should be true. Mr. Jiang is now famous all over Wu County. It is really a great honor for Mr. Chen to be able to join my family, which is full of copper odors!"

As he said this, he ordered the butler behind him: "Old Wu, Mr. Jiang has arrived. Hurry up and call for a banquet."

Then he extended his hand to Jiang Zhou and said, "Master Jiang, the banquet is ready. Please move forward."

"good."

Jiang Zhou nodded and followed him through the door.

"Chen Santong! Wait!"

Suddenly a shout came from behind.

Chen Santong is the nickname of Chen Yuanwai.

Jiang Zhou and Chen were both stunned and turned around.

It turned out to be an agent from the Criminal Division.

Not only were there more than a dozen policemen in black clothes, but there was also a headman in green clothes.

Yan Xiaowu is also among them.

The captain in green clothes led a group of people and walked over quickly and aggressively.

Then they directly surrounded the gate of Chen Mansion.

Chen Yuanwai's face turned pale in shock: "Master, why is this!"

"Hmph, Chen Santong, you've done something wrong."

"ah!"

Mr. Chen's fat trembled and his face turned pale: "Where do you start talking about this? Mr. Chen has always kept his own rules and is a childlike person when doing business. He never dares to go beyond the limit. How could he commit a crime?"

Jiang Zhou asked Yan Xiaowu in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Yan Xiaowu sighed and explained to him in a low voice.

Only halfway through speaking, there was suddenly another burst of messy footsteps.

Jiang Zhou then saw You Xu walking quickly towards here with many demon patrol guards.

I couldn't help but feel shocked secretly.

I just learned from Yan Xiaowu that an official son of the Taishou Mansion was brutally murdered.

The body was skinned and disemboweled, leaving only an empty shell hanging in front of his house.

The subordinate official was the official of Jin Cao of Wu County, named Wei Shou.

In charge of the gold, silver, salt and iron affairs of Wu County.

It can be said to be a high-ranking position.

His son was killed in such a bad way. It was a major case that could shock Nanzhou!

When the prefect got the news, he was immediately furious and ordered the Sujing Division and Tixing Division to come forward together and arrest the murderer within three days.

When You Xu saw Jiang Zhou present, he was slightly startled, came to his senses, nodded to him, and then waved his hands to surround Chen's house.

The Criminal Division and the Sujing Division, a total of more than 30 people from the two divisions, surrounded all the entrances and exits of the Chen Mansion.

Jiang Zhou stood next to Yan Xiaowu, watching You Xu and the Qing Yi police officer interrogate Mr. Chen.

Yan Xiaowu said to the thin Tsing Yi policeman: "That is the strength of our Xing Chief, Xing Changgong, the eighth level of martial arts. You, the captain of Sujing Division, may not have any match for him."

Jiang Zhou frowned and said, "What's going on? What does the death of the young master have to do with Chen Yuanwai?"

Yan Xiaowu said: "You have also seen the young master of the Wei family, Wei Yuanzhao, in Yanbo Tower. He is the slutty and mean-spirited scholar who is covered in gold, silver and jade ornaments."

Jiang Zhou remembered it as soon as he heard it.

That man was standing next to Xu Wenqing at first, and others called him Mr. Wei.

Actually died?

"Didn't I tell you? The two paintings you left in Yanbo Tower are now treasures that are fought over by many people. Even a rubbing can be fetched hundreds of taels of silver by those booksellers.

!”

Yan Xiaowu said, looking at Jiang Zhou with a glowing look.

"..."

This was the first time Jiang Zhou knew about this. To be honest, at this moment he had the urge to switch to selling letters and poems.

Yan Xiaowu continued: "You don't know that last night, the boy named Wei Na secretly approached Mr. Chen to buy the jade screen."

He curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Although the bid is very high, how can such a shrewd person as Mr. Chen do business at a loss? Can you buy that thing with money now?"

"The boy surnamed Wei relied on the power of his old man and was used to being arrogant. When he saw that he was too weak, he threatened Chen Yuanwai that if he didn't sell it to him, his family's property would be difficult to operate in Wu County."

"He's not bragging. His father is in charge of Wu County's gold and silver casting, ironware and salt transportation. Even the prefect has to give him a third. Although Chen Yuanwai does a lot of business, but against the Wei family, it's simply

It's an egg hitting a rock."

"It's just that this guy has misjudged the person. Don't look at how friendly Mr. Chen is to everyone. If he was a kind person, how could he be like this?"

"Of course I won't be frightened by him so easily. The man surnamed Wei can't even use threats or inducements, nor can he tell Yuan Chen what he wants, so he can only leave harsh words and leave angrily."
