As usual, Chu Zheng and Wu Anran walked around the alley for a few circles before entering the Yingtang Main Hall.
When we arrived at the meeting hall, all the deacons of the Eagle Hall had arrived. Chu Zheng looked at the teacup beside everyone, and there was no heat at all. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
Chu Zheng sat on his head and laughed: I have delayed something on the road, so I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please don’t be surprised.
Zhang Bochang and others said they didn't dare
The deacons of Lan Zi Second Hall Chu Mingzu and Xuan Zuhe looked bad. If they were in the past, these two would have made a mockery, but today such a big thing happened in the capital, they were not stupid. They knew that Chu Zheng had summoned the deacons here to settle the score with them, so he remained silent.
Chu Zheng glanced at these two people and sneered in his heart. He thought that you two had learned their lesson today and wanted to avoid them without showing off. It was not so easy.
Chu Zheng looked around everyone and said: Are Deacon Chu of Lan Tang and Deacon Xuan of Zi Tang coming?
Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zu and cursed in their stomachs. They were obviously sitting at the boy's head, but he turned a blind eye. It was obvious that they were deliberately looking for trouble and they barely stood up and said: "Subordinate is here."
Chu Zheng snorted coldly: Both of you know what happened today, right?
Chu Mingzuo coughed and said: I heard a little
Chu Zheng said: Then do you two know the crime?
Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe were angry when they saw that Chu Zheng did not give them any face. They looked at each other without answering
On the way to the court, the Minister of Justice was assassinated by a group of men in black on the street. This is something that my Great Zhao has never experienced since the founding of the country. Chu Zheng glanced down and said, "You Lan Tang and Zi Tang are responsible for inquiring about the information in the capital and my Great Zhao." There was no news in advance. It is said that there were dozens of assassins. If they were from the capital, would you know nothing about it? If they were from outside the capital, then you would be even more unforgivable. So many killers entered the capital. If their assassination target was not Liang Shangyun, but the leader of the Chu family, you two said, what else does the Eagle Hall have in the world?!
Chu Zheng became more and more angry as he spoke. Suddenly he slapped the desk in front of him. With a loud bang, the desk made by mahogany was suddenly broken into pieces.
Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe were startled. Looking at the broken book case in front of them, a look of horror flashed in their eyes.
They always thought that Chu Zheng could control the Eagle Hall because his father was the leader of the Chu family, and let a child point fingers on their heads. The two of them were really dissatisfied. Today, they realized that Chu Zheng was actually carrying martial arts skills and was quite powerful.
If the book case was knocked into two with just one palm, Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe thought they could do it, but it would be better than they knew.
It was not until this time that the two felt a little fear
Several guards hurriedly walked up and sorted out the debris in front of Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng's anger seemed to fade away with that palm. He sat down again and leaned on the back of the chair, and said lightly: It has been nearly half a day since Liang Shangshu was stabbed. Can the two deacons know who did this?
Xuan Zuhe replied: I am incompetent, and who has not yet been found out?
Chu Zheng snorted and said: What about you, Deacon Chu?
Seeing Chu Zheng's arrogant look, Chu Mingzuo said dissatisfiedly: I have ordered all the subordinates of Lan Tang to inquire about this matter. There is no news yet.
Chu Zheng opened his eyes and said: There is no news yet? Then please ask the two deacons to give this hall a certain date. When will this matter be investigated clearly?
Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe looked at each other. At present, there was no clue at this case. Based on some general clues, they only knew that it was a group of men in black who killed Liang Shangyun. It was estimated that these people had great martial arts skills and knew nothing except these two points. Chu Zheng asked them to confirm a time and it was really difficult for them.
After a long time, Xuanzu and Caiqiqi said in a vain: It will take about half a month
Half a month?
Chu Zheng stretched out his hand and wanted to take pictures of things again, but suddenly found that there was nothing to hit in front of him except these two people, so he had to take back his hand awkwardly. How many more people can these murderers kill in the past half month? Maybe they will kill our Chu family. Deacon Xuan, you have been in charge of Zitang for many years, and you can say this.
Chu Mingzuo knew that Chu Zheng didn't want to let them go today, so he said coldly: How much time does the master think we can find out the case?
Chu Zheng thought for a while and said: Three days, at most three days
Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but scream: Three days? Master, you're too much
Chu Zheng sneered: The Lord of the Hall felt that there were too many people in the city. Now the Imperial Guards are searching for the city. Those killers will hide in the next two days to avoid the limelight. When the Imperial Guards relax a little, they are very likely to attack again. It is unknown who they are targeting this time. There are so many officials in the court, and no matter how many troops the Imperial Guards have, they cannot protect the officials of our three major families one by one. No matter which one dies, they will attract suspicion. The court in the Great Zhao Kingdom will be turbulent again. Therefore, the Lord of the Hall ordered you to find out who did it in three days.
Deacon Chen Zhenzhong, the deacon of Chitang, stood up and said: What the master said is that if you can't find these men in black in one day, the capital will not be peaceful for a day. The Imperial Guard will continue to search for many hidden places in the capital, and most of them are not known. Although there are many Chu children in the Imperial Guard, there are also many people around the other two major families and the emperor. Moreover, the existence of the Imperial Guard is a secret itself. Even among the senior officials of the Chu family, there are not many people who know it. Not to mention those young children for a long time, the Imperial Guard will sooner or later find our Imperial Guard. At that time, the Imperial Guard will probably make people flip the sky.
Chu Mingzuo was so angry that he had nowhere to speak. Seeing that Chen Zhenzhong, who had been serving as a deacon for a few days, also pointed at him, he couldn't help but scolded: What are you? There is no room for you to speak in front of me, Chu Mingzuo.
Chen Zhenzhong's expression remained unchanged and said: Chu Mingzuo, you are the deacon of Lan Tang, and I, Chen Zhenzhong, is the deacon of Chitang. The ranking of each hall is still before you, Lan Tang. Is this deacon unable to speak in front of you?
Chu Zheng said in a deep voice: Deacon Chu, you are a little presumptuous.
Chu Mingzuo snorted, not speaking
Chu Zheng said to Chen Zhenzhong again: Deacon Chen, you have said something. The nine branches of Yingtang each have their own responsibilities to support the sky of Yingtang. There is no ranking.
Chen Zhenzhong accused him of guilt and sat down again
Chu Zheng didn't want to get entangled with Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe anymore, and said: Two deacons, you can find out the whereabouts of those men in black within three days. You will organize all the masters of the Eagle Hall to be ready to attack at any time.
Chen Zhenzhong stood up to accept the order, but Chu Mingzuo said: Master, what if you can't find out within three days?
Chu Zheng said lightly: If you can't find out within three days, then don't be like a deacon again.
Chu Mingzuo laughed in anger and said: If the master wants to deprive us of the two of us, he will clearly say, why should we use this to make things difficult for us.
Chu Zheng said: If you two can't do it, you are incompetent. There are many people in the hall who can do this.
Chu Mingzuo laughed and said: If anyone in the Eagle Hall can do it, I, Chu Mingzuo, are willing to give up the position of deacon of the Blue Hall.
Chu Zheng sneered: Well, within three days, the master of this hall will be able to find out who did it. But if you need the staff in Lan Hall to find out the news, you can hand over Lan Hall first.
Chu Mingzuo thought that most of the people in the Lan Hall were cultivated by themselves, and they could still make trouble for these people at the critical moment, so he said: OK! But the master, if the case is not found out within three days, what should he do?
Chu Zheng said decisively: The master of the hall will not blame you, and you will continue to be your Lan Hall deacon, and the annual cost of Lan Hall will be doubled.
Seeing that Chu Zheng was speaking so firmly, Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and said: Master, you have already received news about those black-clad killers, right?
Chu Zheng said: Joke, this case happened this morning. How can I have any news about this master? Lan Tang has personnel in all departments in the central government of the court? Have you ever heard of this case?
Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but nodded and said: OK, this matter is determined in one sentence
Chu Zheng asked to the hall: Where is the deacon of the Chitang?
A red-faced man stood up and clasped his fists and said: I'm here
Chu Zheng said: I will order you to take charge of Lan Tang from today and to investigate the assassination of Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Please hand over the token of Lan Tang to him.
Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but sneer, took out a jade seal of a big finger from his arms and handed it to Wei Shi
Chu Zheng turned to Xuan Zuhe and said: Deacon Xuan, what about you?
Xuan Zuhe thought about it, but he was not sure to find out the matter within three days. It would be better to learn from Chu Mingzuo and bet on it, saying: I am willing to follow the example of Deacon Chu.
Chu Zheng nodded and said: OK, Chitang is the deacon Nanfengchan, you will temporarily take charge of Zitang
Chu Zheng and Nanfeng Chan took the token of Zitang and shouted: Where is the person coming
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten masters from the Red Hall walked in from outside the house.
Chu Zheng stood up and said slowly: The former Lantang deacon Chu Mingzuo, and the Zitang deacon Xuan Zuhe, were guilty of dereliction of duty in the assassination of Liang Shangshu. According to Yingtang's rules, the two of them were taken to the punishment room for imprisonment for half a month.
Chu Mingzuo struggled and shouted: Chu Zheng, you have no faith!
Chu Zheng said coldly: You two are dereliction of duty first. Has the master of this hall said that you would not punish you? But the agreement was as usual. In three days, Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan couldn't find out the case. The master of this hall will let you out.
After Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe were taken down, Chu Zheng looked at Huang Tang deacon Gao Xun and Green Hall deacon Lu Nayan, with a kind smile on his face and said: Two deacons, this hall master will not be unfair to deal with Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe like this.
Lu Nayan hurriedly said: It is very appropriate for the master to be lenient and strict with the two of them.
Gao Xun said in a muffled voice: Yes, but in three days, I will ask the master of the hall to keep his promise today
Chu Zheng laughed: Deacon Gao said very well, the master of this hall will remember the two deacons, please go back.
Gao Xun and Lu Nayan looked around. Except for them, the rest were already Chu Zheng's confidants. They sighed secretly and said with their fists: "I will leave."
After leaving the gate of the main hall, Gao Xun sighed: Brother Lu, it seems that we are underestimating this young man.
Lu Nayan nodded and sighed: It's Ah, look at Lao Chu and Lao Xuan. If the slightest handle falls into his hands, he will be so cruel that this young man is cruel. It will be difficult for Lao Chu and Lao Xuan to turn over again.
Gao Xun snorted coldly and said: What is difficult? I think they can never turn over again. Old Chu and Lao Xuan are really. The boy set up a trap, and they both insisted on getting into it. Isn’t this asking for death?
Lu Nayan said in confusion: It may not be possible. If the young man could not find out where the men in black were located in three days, wouldn’t he still have to let Lao Chu and Lao Xuan come out?
Gao Xun shook his head and said: Since this young man has done this, he will not let them come out safely, even if the whereabouts of the black-clad killer cannot be found in three days, he will have another way to deal with Lao Chu and Lao Xuan.
Lu Nayan said: Brother Gao, since you have seen it, why don’t you remind them?
Gao Xun was stunned and said: I only saw it at the last moment. At that time, Old Chu had already said nothing, so how could he stop him?
Lu Nayan thought for a while and sighed: After dealing with Lao Chu and Lao Xuan, it should be your turn to me.
Gao Xun smiled bitterly and said: You don’t have to worry so much. His last sentence just now expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with me. I am in charge of various industries in Yingtang. The next one must be me.
Lu Nayan said: Otherwise, let’s retire and retire. We can no longer fight him by the two of us.
Gao Xun was silent for a long time before saying: Let's talk about it after these three days.
Seeing Gao Xun and Lu Nayan leave the conference hall, Chen Zhenzhong couldn't help but say to Chu Zheng: Master, are we really sure to find out the whereabouts of those killers within three days?
Chu Zheng glanced at him and said simply: No
Chen Zhenzhong was stunned and said: What should we do in those three days?
Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan have always had a good relationship with him, and the three of them were also very happy to be deacons together. But when Chu Zheng answered this, he felt a little uneasy.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Haven’t these three days arrived yet? Let’s talk about it later.
Chen Zhenzhong was stunned. He didn't expect the master to be so sarcastic about this matter.
Chu Zheng thought to himself that it was really inconvenient to tell you, so he turned around and said to Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan: I don’t care what methods you two use, clean up and down Lan Tang and Zi Tang within these three days. Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe’s confidants cannot be kept. If anyone refuses to leave, he will be killed without mercy.
Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan are not good men and women. After Chu Zheng ordered them to start a killing, they did not feel strange at all. They all bowed down to receive their orders.
Nan Fengchan was a little worried and said: Master, who should do the matter of tracing those men in black?
Chu Zheng shook his head and said: In the past few days, you only need to assign low-level personnel in the hall to monitor the movements in the capital, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.
Chen Zhenzhong was a little anxious, and wanted to ask Chu Zheng again, waved his hand and said: You all go down.
After the three left, Wu Anran said to Chu Zheng: You forgot to invite someone today
Chu Zheng said: Who is it?
Wu Anran said: Chu Tiancheng, the former head of the Eagle Hall, logically speaking, you are not the leader of the Eagle Hall, so he should be with you
Chu Zheng said: Today's matter is so urgent, there is no time to notify him
Wu Anran didn't touch her, she just looked at Chu Zheng
Chu Zheng couldn't stand it because he saw it, and said dryly: OK, I admit that he deliberately did not call the second grandfather. If he had him there, Chu Mingzuo would probably not be so easy to surrender.
Wu Anran said: Then aren't you afraid that he will be dissatisfied? After all, Chu Tiancheng is still quite influential in the Eagle Hall.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: I don’t care about so many things. If I wait until I become an adult, it will be even more difficult to eliminate the power of Chu Mingzuo and others. Now I can only adopt a lightning momentum to remove the old ministers of Yingtang.
Wu Anran said: You have taken the word "reason" today, but you imprisoned Chu Mingzuo and others. If you cannot find out the whereabouts of the assassins in three days, Chu Tiancheng will definitely intervene. Are you really sure about this matter?
Chu Zheng sighed and said: I only have a vague guess, but I am not sure. I think Fang Zhongcheng is right. Those men in black will never hide in the market, otherwise the Eagle Hall and the Wolf Hall will have noticed that the second hall cannot find any news now. It’s not that they are incompetent, they just didn’t expect it…
Wu Anran walked out without waiting for Chu Zheng to finish his words. Chu Zheng was stunned and said: Master, where are you going?
Wu Anran said without looking back: I, Wu, will never participate in this matter. Don’t call me Master again, you have been cleared out of the door.
Chu Zheng stayed in place immediately
Chu Fanghua and the other four walked out, and Chu Fangxin said wonder: Master, why did Mr. Wu leave alone?
Chu Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed: My master doesn't want me anymore, and you will be the only one who protects me from now on.
Chu Fanghua bowed and said: The guardian was originally the responsibility of our four swords.
Chu Zheng saw Chu Fanghua's answer in a mechanical manner, and felt that it was boring. When he got along with these girls, he could not talk and laugh with Wu Anran, the emperor's elder sister.
Seeing that Chu Zheng didn't say anything, Chu Fanghua asked: Master, are we going back to the mansion now?
Chu Zheng shook his head and said: You guys open the secret room and find out all the information of officials transferred from other places to the court in the past three months, and take them back to the mansion.
Although Chu Fanghua and others didn't understand why, they still took the order and left.
Chu Zheng walked around alone in the huge conference hall
Wu Anran left nothing at all, Chu Zheng felt empty in his heart
Since he took over the Eagle Hall, only Wu Anran can truly trust and help, and the master and apprentice cooperate without a fight. Even if he meets the woman Chu Zheng, the woman in Yemen, has the courage to fight.
Unfortunately, the opponent this time is the Western Region Demon Sect. Wu Anran is right to be incense. Although Chu Zheng is his apprentice, after all, there are several friends in the Demon Sect for many years, so she can only help each other.
Chu Zheng couldn't help but think of Liu Qingru, a hint of warmth surged in his heart, and thought of her shy and lewd appearance last night, Chu Zheng smiled even more
She is also an absolutely trustworthy person. It’s a pity that she doesn’t know how to do martial arts. Chu Zheng doesn’t have the heart to let her do too much trouble, but today she has to ask her to help.
The footsteps behind him interrupted Chu Zheng's thoughts. When Chu Zheng heard that the foot sound was Chu Fanghua and others, he was surprised and said: Why did he find them all so quickly?
Chu Fanghua said behind her: Go back to the hall master, no one has sorted out the information of these new officials in the secret room, and they are only stacked according to the time they enter Beijing, which saves the power of the maid.
Chu Zheng turned around and couldn't help but be shocked. He saw Chu Fanghua and the other four carrying a big bag, Chu Zheng took a breath and said to Chu Fanghua: Why are there so many?
Chu Fanghua replied: Usually there are not so many, but in the past few months, the sect leader has released dozens of officials, so the vacancies left behind have to be selected from the officials in various places. The maid counted it and there were 73 people transferred to the capital in the past three months. They are all here. Will the master take a look?
Chu Zheng sighed, looked up and suppressed the sky, and thought to himself that this time he wanted God to bless him. If the seventy-three officials went to investigate one by one, it would take at least several months.
Thinking about Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe who were locked up, Chu Zheng smiled bitterly. God wouldn't force himself to be a trustless person, right?
Chu Zheng sighed: No need, open it after returning to the mansion.
As soon as he walked into the outing garden, Liu Qingru came up and said happily: Young Master is back
Chu Zheng didn't understand why and asked: Sister Qingru, what's wrong?
Cui Ling curled her lips aside: The young master went out after dawn, and he was just back now. The lady has been waiting for a long time.
Liu Qingru spat and said: You are just gossiping
Although Chu Zheng was moved, he nodded slightly and said: Go into the house first.
The table in the house was filled with dishes, and Zijuan stood aside with a slight sweat on her forehead. Seeing Chu Zheng coming back, her face showed joy, she hurriedly placed the bowls and chopsticks.
Chu Zheng sat down and said to Chu Fanghua and others: You guys are hungry, sit down and eat together.
Chu Fanghua said: Where is the four maids in front of the hall master
Chu Zheng sighed and said: You are my people too. You don’t have to be too restricted when you arrive in this mansion. Zijuan and Cuiling often eat with me.
Chu Fanghua insisted on refusing, Chu Zheng had no choice but to give up and asked Zijuan to divide some of the food for them. He thought to go with them in his heart. After all, it was still short of time to follow him and was not too familiar. Let's talk about it in the future.
Chu Zheng didn't know what he thought of, and looked lewd and mean.
Chu Zheng ate several big bowls like a wind blowing the broken clouds, touched his stomach, stood up satisfied, and carried several bags into the study.
Liu Qingru followed in and couldn't help but wonder: Young Master, what are these?
Chu Zheng said: It is the information of some officials in the court.
Liu Qingru said in confusion: What is the young master bringing these back?
Chu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: Do you know, something big happened in the capital today, and Lord Liang, the Minister of Justice, was assassinated in the street.
Liu Qingru couldn't help but say, "There is such a thing, no wonder the young master left the mansion so early and found the assassins?
It's not that easy. Chu Zheng piled up a few books from his bags on the desk. The police officers from the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Justice almost searched the capital with no clue at all.
Liu Qingru looked at the books like a hill and said: What did the young master think of these things?
Chu Zheng talked about meeting the man in blue and told Liu Qingru that Liu Qingru almost got assassinated when he heard that Chu Zheng was so scared that he was so scared that he was so scared that he was so scared that he was so scared.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Sister Qingru, don’t worry. At that time, I was with my master, and there were probably not many people in the world who could kill me.
Liu Qingru said: By the way, didn’t the adopted mother go out with you? Why didn’t she see him back home?
Chu Zheng said vaguely: She has something to do
Liu Qingru didn't doubt him and said: When the young master saw that the man was dressed in the clothes of a subordinate from the official's mansion, did he suspect that they were entourages of officials who were transferred to the court recently?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Yes, only this can make the Eagle and Wolf Hall not get any news. As long as these assassins are careful, no one will find out that these servants will be a group of experts. However, Eagle and Wolf Hall are in Beijing and have many ears and ears. They stay for a long time, some clues will be revealed. So I think they didn't go to Beijing for long, at most three months. And I think that official must have nothing to do with Xi Qin. Eagle and Wolf Hall are either spies in Xi Qin or Li Daitao Zombie. Those assassins killed the official who went to Beijing and found someone else to pretend.
Liu Qingru said: Probably not. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Personnel has portraits of officials from all over the country, so it cannot be pretended to be.
Chu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: I'm just guessing, but there are so many strange tricks in the world, so it's not impossible to find someone to disguise himself as an official.
I couldn't help but think in my heart that if the master was there, I could ask him if anyone in the Demon Sect was proficient in disguise.
Chu Zheng said as he flipped through the table, took out a book, and said to Liu Qingru: I'll read this one first, please let Sister Qingru ask Zijuan and Cuiling to come in too, and help check where these officials are from. Then divide them into four parts according to the Western Line, the South Line, the Northern Xinjiang and the rest of the country, and put them in their own hands.
The power of Eagle Hall is indeed extraordinary
Chu Zheng looked at the information about an official in his hand and couldn't help but secretly admired. It not only recorded his official achievements and living habits in detail, but also involved his family's situation.
Chu Zheng weighed this book and thought that even the information from the Ministry of Personnel might not be so complete.
Zijuan walked to him and reported: Young Master, you have already classified it as you said
Chu Zheng handed Zijuan the book in his hand. The official should have no doubts, at least he couldn't see it from the book.
Liu Qingru also took a book and looked at it carefully. Chu Zheng said: Sister Qingru, let’s take a look at the officials who were transferred from the Western Front to the capital. They are closest to the Western Qin Dynasty and are the most suspected; secondly, the northern border, as for the southern front, there should be no possibility. My father has been on the Southern Front for many years, and he has promoted all the officials of all sizes. These officials will definitely come to see my father when they arrive in the capital. If there is anything wrong, my father will have discovered it long ago.
Liu Qingru nodded and said: What the young master said is reasonable, but please read it. I think some books have different handwritings. Ah, it seems that they were not written by one person.
Chu Zheng stepped forward and looked at it. As expected, he thought for a while and said: Maybe when these officials were local officials, his information was written by the local Yingtang people. After arriving in the capital, he was written by the Yingtang people in the capital.
When we arrived at the meeting hall, all the deacons of the Eagle Hall had arrived. Chu Zheng looked at the teacup beside everyone, and there was no heat at all. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
Chu Zheng sat on his head and laughed: I have delayed something on the road, so I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please don’t be surprised.
Zhang Bochang and others said they didn't dare
The deacons of Lan Zi Second Hall Chu Mingzu and Xuan Zuhe looked bad. If they were in the past, these two would have made a mockery, but today such a big thing happened in the capital, they were not stupid. They knew that Chu Zheng had summoned the deacons here to settle the score with them, so he remained silent.
Chu Zheng glanced at these two people and sneered in his heart. He thought that you two had learned their lesson today and wanted to avoid them without showing off. It was not so easy.
Chu Zheng looked around everyone and said: Are Deacon Chu of Lan Tang and Deacon Xuan of Zi Tang coming?
Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zu and cursed in their stomachs. They were obviously sitting at the boy's head, but he turned a blind eye. It was obvious that they were deliberately looking for trouble and they barely stood up and said: "Subordinate is here."
Chu Zheng snorted coldly: Both of you know what happened today, right?
Chu Mingzuo coughed and said: I heard a little

Chu Zheng became more and more angry as he spoke. Suddenly he slapped the desk in front of him. With a loud bang, the desk made by mahogany was suddenly broken into pieces.
Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe were startled. Looking at the broken book case in front of them, a look of horror flashed in their eyes.
They always thought that Chu Zheng could control the Eagle Hall because his father was the leader of the Chu family, and let a child point fingers on their heads. The two of them were really dissatisfied. Today, they realized that Chu Zheng was actually carrying martial arts skills and was quite powerful.
If the book case was knocked into two with just one palm, Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe thought they could do it, but it would be better than they knew.
It was not until this time that the two felt a little fear
Several guards hurriedly walked up and sorted out the debris in front of Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng's anger seemed to fade away with that palm. He sat down again and leaned on the back of the chair, and said lightly: It has been nearly half a day since Liang Shangshu was stabbed. Can the two deacons know who did this?
Xuan Zuhe replied: I am incompetent, and who has not yet been found out?
Chu Zheng snorted and said: What about you, Deacon Chu?
Seeing Chu Zheng's arrogant look, Chu Mingzuo said dissatisfiedly: I have ordered all the subordinates of Lan Tang to inquire about this matter. There is no news yet.
Chu Zheng opened his eyes and said: There is no news yet? Then please ask the two deacons to give this hall a certain date. When will this matter be investigated clearly?

It was estimated that these people had great martial arts skills and knew nothing except these two points. Chu Zheng asked them to confirm a time and it was really difficult for them.
After a long time, Xuanzu and Caiqiqi said in a vain: It will take about half a month
Half a month?
Chu Zheng stretched out his hand and wanted to take pictures of things again, but suddenly found that there was nothing to hit in front of him except these two people, so he had to take back his hand awkwardly. How many more people can these murderers kill in the past half month? Maybe they will kill our Chu family. Deacon Xuan, you have been in charge of Zitang for many years, and you can say this.
Chu Mingzuo knew that Chu Zheng didn't want to let them go today, so he said coldly: How much time does the master think we can find out the case?
Chu Zheng thought for a while and said: Three days, at most three days
Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but scream: Three days? Master, you're too much
Chu Zheng sneered: The Lord of the Hall felt that there were too many people in the city. Now the Imperial Guards are searching for the city. Those killers will hide in the next two days to avoid the limelight. When the Imperial Guards relax a little, they are very likely to attack again. It is unknown who they are targeting this time. There are so many officials in the court, and no matter how many troops the Imperial Guards have, they cannot protect the officials of our three major families one by one. No matter which one dies, they will attract suspicion. The court in the Great Zhao Kingdom will be turbulent again. Therefore, the Lord of the Hall ordered you to find out who did it in three days.
Deacon Chen Zhenzhong, the deacon of Chitang, stood up and said: What the master said is that if you can't find these men in black in one day, the capital will not be peaceful for a day.

Chen Zhenzhong's expression remained unchanged and said: Chu Mingzuo, you are the deacon of Lan Tang, and I, Chen Zhenzhong, is the deacon of Chitang. The ranking of each hall is still before you, Lan Tang. Is this deacon unable to speak in front of you?
Chu Zheng said in a deep voice: Deacon Chu, you are a little presumptuous.
Chu Mingzuo snorted, not speaking
Chu Zheng said to Chen Zhenzhong again: Deacon Chen, you have said something. The nine branches of Yingtang each have their own responsibilities to support the sky of Yingtang. There is no ranking.
Chen Zhenzhong accused him of guilt and sat down again
Chu Zheng didn't want to get entangled with Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe anymore, and said: Two deacons, you can find out the whereabouts of those men in black within three days. You will organize all the masters of the Eagle Hall to be ready to attack at any time.
Chen Zhenzhong stood up to accept the order, but Chu Mingzuo said: Master, what if you can't find out within three days?
Chu Zheng said lightly: If you can't find out within three days, then don't be like a deacon again.
Chu Mingzuo laughed in anger and said: If the master wants to deprive us of the two of us, he will clearly say, why should we use this to make things difficult for us.
Chu Zheng said: If you two can't do it, you are incompetent. There are many people in the hall who can do this.
Chu Mingzuo laughed and said: If anyone in the Eagle Hall can do it, I, Chu Mingzuo, are willing to give up the position of deacon of the Blue Hall.
Chu Zheng sneered: Well, within three days, the master of this hall will be able to find out who did it. But if you need the staff in Lan Hall to find out the news, you can hand over Lan Hall first.
Chu Mingzuo thought that most of the people in the Lan Hall were cultivated by themselves, and they could still make trouble for these people at the critical moment, so he said: OK! But the master, if the case is not found out within three days, what should he do?
Chu Zheng said decisively: The master of the hall will not blame you, and you will continue to be your Lan Hall deacon, and the annual cost of Lan Hall will be doubled.
Seeing that Chu Zheng was speaking so firmly, Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and said: Master, you have already received news about those black-clad killers, right?
Chu Zheng said: Joke, this case happened this morning. How can I have any news about this master? Lan Tang has personnel in all departments in the central government of the court? Have you ever heard of this case?
Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but nodded and said: OK, this matter is determined in one sentence
Chu Zheng asked to the hall: Where is the deacon of the Chitang?
A red-faced man stood up and clasped his fists and said: I'm here
Chu Zheng said: I will order you to take charge of Lan Tang from today and to investigate the assassination of Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Please hand over the token of Lan Tang to him.
Chu Mingzuo couldn't help but sneer, took out a jade seal of a big finger from his arms and handed it to Wei Shi
Chu Zheng turned to Xuan Zuhe and said: Deacon Xuan, what about you?
Xuan Zuhe thought about it, but he was not sure to find out the matter within three days. It would be better to learn from Chu Mingzuo and bet on it, saying: I am willing to follow the example of Deacon Chu.
Chu Zheng nodded and said: OK, Chitang is the deacon Nanfengchan, you will temporarily take charge of Zitang
Chu Zheng and Nanfeng Chan took the token of Zitang and shouted: Where is the person coming
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten masters from the Red Hall walked in from outside the house.
Chu Zheng stood up and said slowly: The former Lantang deacon Chu Mingzuo, and the Zitang deacon Xuan Zuhe, were guilty of dereliction of duty in the assassination of Liang Shangshu. According to Yingtang's rules, the two of them were taken to the punishment room for imprisonment for half a month.
Chu Mingzuo struggled and shouted: Chu Zheng, you have no faith!
Chu Zheng said coldly: You two are dereliction of duty first. Has the master of this hall said that you would not punish you? But the agreement was as usual. In three days, Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan couldn't find out the case. The master of this hall will let you out.
After Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe were taken down, Chu Zheng looked at Huang Tang deacon Gao Xun and Green Hall deacon Lu Nayan, with a kind smile on his face and said: Two deacons, this hall master will not be unfair to deal with Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe like this.
Lu Nayan hurriedly said: It is very appropriate for the master to be lenient and strict with the two of them.
Gao Xun said in a muffled voice: Yes, but in three days, I will ask the master of the hall to keep his promise today
Chu Zheng laughed: Deacon Gao said very well, the master of this hall will remember the two deacons, please go back.
Gao Xun and Lu Nayan looked around. Except for them, the rest were already Chu Zheng's confidants. They sighed secretly and said with their fists: "I will leave."
After leaving the gate of the main hall, Gao Xun sighed: Brother Lu, it seems that we are underestimating this young man.
Lu Nayan nodded and sighed: It's Ah, look at Lao Chu and Lao Xuan. If the slightest handle falls into his hands, he will be so cruel that this young man is cruel. It will be difficult for Lao Chu and Lao Xuan to turn over again.
Gao Xun snorted coldly and said: What is difficult? I think they can never turn over again. Old Chu and Lao Xuan are really. The boy set up a trap, and they both insisted on getting into it. Isn’t this asking for death?
Lu Nayan said in confusion: It may not be possible. If the young man could not find out where the men in black were located in three days, wouldn’t he still have to let Lao Chu and Lao Xuan come out?
Gao Xun shook his head and said: Since this young man has done this, he will not let them come out safely, even if the whereabouts of the black-clad killer cannot be found in three days, he will have another way to deal with Lao Chu and Lao Xuan.
Lu Nayan said: Brother Gao, since you have seen it, why don’t you remind them?
Gao Xun was stunned and said: I only saw it at the last moment. At that time, Old Chu had already said nothing, so how could he stop him?
Lu Nayan thought for a while and sighed: After dealing with Lao Chu and Lao Xuan, it should be your turn to me.
Gao Xun smiled bitterly and said: You don’t have to worry so much. His last sentence just now expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with me. I am in charge of various industries in Yingtang. The next one must be me.
Lu Nayan said: Otherwise, let’s retire and retire. We can no longer fight him by the two of us.
Gao Xun was silent for a long time before saying: Let's talk about it after these three days.
Seeing Gao Xun and Lu Nayan leave the conference hall, Chen Zhenzhong couldn't help but say to Chu Zheng: Master, are we really sure to find out the whereabouts of those killers within three days?
Chu Zheng glanced at him and said simply: No
Chen Zhenzhong was stunned and said: What should we do in those three days?
Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan have always had a good relationship with him, and the three of them were also very happy to be deacons together. But when Chu Zheng answered this, he felt a little uneasy.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Haven’t these three days arrived yet? Let’s talk about it later.
Chen Zhenzhong was stunned. He didn't expect the master to be so sarcastic about this matter.
Chu Zheng thought to himself that it was really inconvenient to tell you, so he turned around and said to Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan: I don’t care what methods you two use, clean up and down Lan Tang and Zi Tang within these three days. Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe’s confidants cannot be kept. If anyone refuses to leave, he will be killed without mercy.
Wei Shi and Nan Fengchan are not good men and women. After Chu Zheng ordered them to start a killing, they did not feel strange at all. They all bowed down to receive their orders.
Nan Fengchan was a little worried and said: Master, who should do the matter of tracing those men in black?
Chu Zheng shook his head and said: In the past few days, you only need to assign low-level personnel in the hall to monitor the movements in the capital, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.
Chen Zhenzhong was a little anxious, and wanted to ask Chu Zheng again, waved his hand and said: You all go down.
After the three left, Wu Anran said to Chu Zheng: You forgot to invite someone today
Chu Zheng said: Who is it?
Wu Anran said: Chu Tiancheng, the former head of the Eagle Hall, logically speaking, you are not the leader of the Eagle Hall, so he should be with you
Chu Zheng said: Today's matter is so urgent, there is no time to notify him
Wu Anran didn't touch her, she just looked at Chu Zheng
Chu Zheng couldn't stand it because he saw it, and said dryly: OK, I admit that he deliberately did not call the second grandfather. If he had him there, Chu Mingzuo would probably not be so easy to surrender.
Wu Anran said: Then aren't you afraid that he will be dissatisfied? After all, Chu Tiancheng is still quite influential in the Eagle Hall.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: I don’t care about so many things. If I wait until I become an adult, it will be even more difficult to eliminate the power of Chu Mingzuo and others. Now I can only adopt a lightning momentum to remove the old ministers of Yingtang.
Wu Anran said: You have taken the word "reason" today, but you imprisoned Chu Mingzuo and others. If you cannot find out the whereabouts of the assassins in three days, Chu Tiancheng will definitely intervene. Are you really sure about this matter?
Chu Zheng sighed and said: I only have a vague guess, but I am not sure. I think Fang Zhongcheng is right. Those men in black will never hide in the market, otherwise the Eagle Hall and the Wolf Hall will have noticed that the second hall cannot find any news now. It’s not that they are incompetent, they just didn’t expect it…
Wu Anran walked out without waiting for Chu Zheng to finish his words. Chu Zheng was stunned and said: Master, where are you going?
Wu Anran said without looking back: I, Wu, will never participate in this matter. Don’t call me Master again, you have been cleared out of the door.
Chu Zheng stayed in place immediately
Chu Fanghua and the other four walked out, and Chu Fangxin said wonder: Master, why did Mr. Wu leave alone?
Chu Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed: My master doesn't want me anymore, and you will be the only one who protects me from now on.
Chu Fanghua bowed and said: The guardian was originally the responsibility of our four swords.
Chu Zheng saw Chu Fanghua's answer in a mechanical manner, and felt that it was boring. When he got along with these girls, he could not talk and laugh with Wu Anran, the emperor's elder sister.
Seeing that Chu Zheng didn't say anything, Chu Fanghua asked: Master, are we going back to the mansion now?
Chu Zheng shook his head and said: You guys open the secret room and find out all the information of officials transferred from other places to the court in the past three months, and take them back to the mansion.
Although Chu Fanghua and others didn't understand why, they still took the order and left.
Chu Zheng walked around alone in the huge conference hall
Wu Anran left nothing at all, Chu Zheng felt empty in his heart
Since he took over the Eagle Hall, only Wu Anran can truly trust and help, and the master and apprentice cooperate without a fight. Even if he meets the woman Chu Zheng, the woman in Yemen, has the courage to fight.
Unfortunately, the opponent this time is the Western Region Demon Sect. Wu Anran is right to be incense. Although Chu Zheng is his apprentice, after all, there are several friends in the Demon Sect for many years, so she can only help each other.
Chu Zheng couldn't help but think of Liu Qingru, a hint of warmth surged in his heart, and thought of her shy and lewd appearance last night, Chu Zheng smiled even more
She is also an absolutely trustworthy person. It’s a pity that she doesn’t know how to do martial arts. Chu Zheng doesn’t have the heart to let her do too much trouble, but today she has to ask her to help.
The footsteps behind him interrupted Chu Zheng's thoughts. When Chu Zheng heard that the foot sound was Chu Fanghua and others, he was surprised and said: Why did he find them all so quickly?
Chu Fanghua said behind her: Go back to the hall master, no one has sorted out the information of these new officials in the secret room, and they are only stacked according to the time they enter Beijing, which saves the power of the maid.
Chu Zheng turned around and couldn't help but be shocked. He saw Chu Fanghua and the other four carrying a big bag, Chu Zheng took a breath and said to Chu Fanghua: Why are there so many?
Chu Fanghua replied: Usually there are not so many, but in the past few months, the sect leader has released dozens of officials, so the vacancies left behind have to be selected from the officials in various places. The maid counted it and there were 73 people transferred to the capital in the past three months. They are all here. Will the master take a look?
Chu Zheng sighed, looked up and suppressed the sky, and thought to himself that this time he wanted God to bless him. If the seventy-three officials went to investigate one by one, it would take at least several months.
Thinking about Chu Mingzuo and Xuan Zuhe who were locked up, Chu Zheng smiled bitterly. God wouldn't force himself to be a trustless person, right?
Chu Zheng sighed: No need, open it after returning to the mansion.
As soon as he walked into the outing garden, Liu Qingru came up and said happily: Young Master is back
Chu Zheng didn't understand why and asked: Sister Qingru, what's wrong?
Cui Ling curled her lips aside: The young master went out after dawn, and he was just back now. The lady has been waiting for a long time.
Liu Qingru spat and said: You are just gossiping
Although Chu Zheng was moved, he nodded slightly and said: Go into the house first.
The table in the house was filled with dishes, and Zijuan stood aside with a slight sweat on her forehead. Seeing Chu Zheng coming back, her face showed joy, she hurriedly placed the bowls and chopsticks.
Chu Zheng sat down and said to Chu Fanghua and others: You guys are hungry, sit down and eat together.
Chu Fanghua said: Where is the four maids in front of the hall master
Chu Zheng sighed and said: You are my people too. You don’t have to be too restricted when you arrive in this mansion. Zijuan and Cuiling often eat with me.
Chu Fanghua insisted on refusing, Chu Zheng had no choice but to give up and asked Zijuan to divide some of the food for them. He thought to go with them in his heart. After all, it was still short of time to follow him and was not too familiar. Let's talk about it in the future.
Chu Zheng didn't know what he thought of, and looked lewd and mean.
Chu Zheng ate several big bowls like a wind blowing the broken clouds, touched his stomach, stood up satisfied, and carried several bags into the study.
Liu Qingru followed in and couldn't help but wonder: Young Master, what are these?
Chu Zheng said: It is the information of some officials in the court.
Liu Qingru said in confusion: What is the young master bringing these back?
Chu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: Do you know, something big happened in the capital today, and Lord Liang, the Minister of Justice, was assassinated in the street.
Liu Qingru couldn't help but say, "There is such a thing, no wonder the young master left the mansion so early and found the assassins?
It's not that easy. Chu Zheng piled up a few books from his bags on the desk. The police officers from the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Justice almost searched the capital with no clue at all.
Liu Qingru looked at the books like a hill and said: What did the young master think of these things?
Chu Zheng talked about meeting the man in blue and told Liu Qingru that Liu Qingru almost got assassinated when he heard that Chu Zheng was so scared that he was so scared that he was so scared that he was so scared that he was so scared.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Sister Qingru, don’t worry. At that time, I was with my master, and there were probably not many people in the world who could kill me.
Liu Qingru said: By the way, didn’t the adopted mother go out with you? Why didn’t she see him back home?
Chu Zheng said vaguely: She has something to do
Liu Qingru didn't doubt him and said: When the young master saw that the man was dressed in the clothes of a subordinate from the official's mansion, did he suspect that they were entourages of officials who were transferred to the court recently?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Yes, only this can make the Eagle and Wolf Hall not get any news. As long as these assassins are careful, no one will find out that these servants will be a group of experts. However, Eagle and Wolf Hall are in Beijing and have many ears and ears. They stay for a long time, some clues will be revealed. So I think they didn't go to Beijing for long, at most three months. And I think that official must have nothing to do with Xi Qin. Eagle and Wolf Hall are either spies in Xi Qin or Li Daitao Zombie. Those assassins killed the official who went to Beijing and found someone else to pretend.
Liu Qingru said: Probably not. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Personnel has portraits of officials from all over the country, so it cannot be pretended to be.
Chu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: I'm just guessing, but there are so many strange tricks in the world, so it's not impossible to find someone to disguise himself as an official.
I couldn't help but think in my heart that if the master was there, I could ask him if anyone in the Demon Sect was proficient in disguise.
Chu Zheng said as he flipped through the table, took out a book, and said to Liu Qingru: I'll read this one first, please let Sister Qingru ask Zijuan and Cuiling to come in too, and help check where these officials are from. Then divide them into four parts according to the Western Line, the South Line, the Northern Xinjiang and the rest of the country, and put them in their own hands.
The power of Eagle Hall is indeed extraordinary
Chu Zheng looked at the information about an official in his hand and couldn't help but secretly admired. It not only recorded his official achievements and living habits in detail, but also involved his family's situation.
Chu Zheng weighed this book and thought that even the information from the Ministry of Personnel might not be so complete.
Zijuan walked to him and reported: Young Master, you have already classified it as you said
Chu Zheng handed Zijuan the book in his hand. The official should have no doubts, at least he couldn't see it from the book.
Liu Qingru also took a book and looked at it carefully. Chu Zheng said: Sister Qingru, let’s take a look at the officials who were transferred from the Western Front to the capital. They are closest to the Western Qin Dynasty and are the most suspected; secondly, the northern border, as for the southern front, there should be no possibility. My father has been on the Southern Front for many years, and he has promoted all the officials of all sizes. These officials will definitely come to see my father when they arrive in the capital. If there is anything wrong, my father will have discovered it long ago.
Liu Qingru nodded and said: What the young master said is reasonable, but please read it. I think some books have different handwritings. Ah, it seems that they were not written by one person.
Chu Zheng stepped forward and looked at it. As expected, he thought for a while and said: Maybe when these officials were local officials, his information was written by the local Yingtang people. After arriving in the capital, he was written by the Yingtang people in the capital.
