number one leader

Chapter 84 Questioning
The door opened, Fei Xing and Cen Liang led the head catcher into it together, and what they saw in person was that Qingshuang was sitting on one side, pouring tea with bare hands, just like a jade gentleman sitting face to face, looking over , calm and moderate.

The head catcher looked solemn, with his right hand on the handle of the oxtail knife, his eyes fixed on Chu Sheng.

It was the one who sent someone to investigate, and it was found that there were many conflicts between Chu Sheng and Jiang An in the past two days.The latter rushed directly into the martial arts hall with his soldiers, so Chu Sheng's suspicion was naturally the greatest.What's more, Chu Sheng is also a man of the rivers and lakes, and has the ability to kill Jiang An.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Cen Liang frowned and thought about it, and then waited for Fei Xing to come with him.It was a coincidence that the two of them came to Luolong City with the intention of visiting Chu Sheng. On the contrary, they solved the case just by hand, and they never thought that they would be together.

"No need to be like this." Cen Liang held down the hand of the head catcher, turned his eyes away from Chu Sheng, and said calmly: "The head of Chu came from a famous mountain, and he is in charge of a faction. He is an upright gentleman. You don't need to be so vigilant."

With a good reputation, it is natural. Chu Sheng smiled, but just looked at it. After all, the head catcher still hesitantly let go of the hand holding the knife.

"Please sit down." Chu Sheng stretched out his hand, but Cen Liang sat down calmly in front of him, Qingshuang poured him a cup of tea, and Fei Xing and the head catcher stood behind him.

"Are you all looking for me?"

"Exactly!" As the most direct person in charge of the homicide case, the head-hunter opened his mouth without hesitation, and the guarded look on his face still did not dissipate. Bringing soldiers into the Longshoumen Martial Arts Hall has many conflicts with the head of Chu, isn't it possible?"

"Yes..." Chu Sheng looked calm, while sipping his tea, he said calmly: "Then Jiang An has many conflicts with a friend of mine, and he took this opportunity to forcibly occupy his house after his friend left after darts on his own. , wanting to ruin his family.”

"I was entrusted by others, so I naturally wanted to cover up a little more, which caused Jiang Junwei to be unhappy."

When Cen Liang came here, he didn't say a word, he just sipped his tea and looked at Chu Sheng.

"Yesterday night, Jiang Junwei was killed in an alley in the city. Do you know about this?"

Chu Sheng raised his eyebrows, shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know."

"Since you don't know, why are you so calm when you hear the news? Where were you that night?"

"He is arrogant and domineering, and he does not know how many enemies he wants to offend, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself. Naturally, he will die on the street one day. How am I surprised?" Facing the aggressive question of the headhunter, Chu Sheng The tone was neither salty nor dull, and the words were all speechless, and he was speechless, and said a little annoyed: "Then where were you last night?"

"It's right here." Chu Sheng knocked on the table, and although he was answering the head catcher's words, his eyes fell on Cen Liang, "Miss Qingshuang is my confidante, and I entered this place early last night. Drunken Lotus Garden, rest here for one night, and today you found it."

Even though she knew that Chu Sheng was only using herself as a shield, Qingshuang's heartbeat still slowed down by a beat, she lowered her head with a flushed face, and said softly, "That's true."

The head catcher frowned, which meant that he had witnesses, proving that Chu Sheng was not present when the crime happened.

His aggressive aura couldn't help but stagnate, and he looked at Cen Liang as if asking for help. The latter turned his head slightly, waved his hand lightly and said: "In this case, let's investigate it. If this is the case, then this matter will be settled Naturally, it has nothing to do with the head of Chu."

The head catcher looked stagnant, and immediately nodded helplessly, then turned and left.

Cen Liang still had a serious expression on his face, as if his expression hadn't changed much, but he also changed his tone, and said: "After talking about the idle things, let's talk about some serious things with Master Chu."

Immediately, he briefly introduced the identities of the two of them, took out the tokens to show their identity, and said: "The inquiries in this room are just incidental, but the two of us are actually here specifically to find the leader of Chu."

"What did Cen Yizhu teach me?"

"Dare to ask Master Chu, the group of the Five Rats during the day were beheaded by Master Chu's sword?"

Chu Sheng looked at the two people in front of him, doubts flashed across his mind, and he said vaguely: "It's roughly the same."

"That being the case." Cen Liang stood up, took a heavy package from Fei Xing behind him, and put it on the table, "This is 100 taels of gold, and it was my reward for taking over the matter with the six doors. silver."

While talking, he took out another thing from his arms, and when he took it apart, it turned out to be a thin official document, and pushed it in front of Chu Sheng.

Glancing over, the content on it was exactly the same, it was detailing the evil deeds of the five rats.Then it was said that the government entrusted the matter of chasing the five white rats to the six gates, and it was also clearly recorded that the reward for each rat was 200 taels of silver.

Usually, people in the Jianghu can bring someone to the government to receive the reward, but most of it is after the event, but the six doors first get the money and then find the person, which is equivalent to paying the reward in advance.From this, it can be seen that the relationship between the six doors and the government is profound.

Chu Sheng looked away and landed on the 100 taels of gold on the table, feeling amazed in his heart.

It's strange, it's so fair to act in the six doors.If they didn't send people to come, how could Chu Sheng know that there was a reward?Furthermore, even if they had embezzled the reward money privately, Chu Sheng would have nothing to say.But unfortunately, they sent people to pay the reward.This behavior is full of integrity and dignity, no wonder the Jianghu people are so courteous to the six-door righteous arrest. They have traveled all over the nineteen states, and it is not just because of the secret support of the imperial court.

Second, it is strange that the six doors in this world are different from those that Chu Sheng heard in his previous life. In this world, this organization is more like a trade union organization or a bounty organization. Registered members (for charity), they will be rewarded with silver after completing the task.

The gold was presented on the table, but Chu Sheng just glanced at it, then took it back, and did not take it, but said modestly: "The death of the five rats is not entirely dependent on me, this money is really for me. I am ashamed."

"Then how does Master Chu think to deal with it?"

Chu Sheng's face was calm, and he said in his mouth: "On the way, those reckless and reckless bodyguards in the bodyguard bureau contributed a lot of effort and suffered a lot of casualties. Of course, Hong Xuan, the mighty chief bodyguard of the bodyguard bureau, took care of the funeral. The rivers and lakes who came here died in obscurity."

Speaking of this, he still had a compassionate expression on his face, although his heart was bleeding naturally, but he was obliged to say: "If the two of you have no objections, I hope that this money can be distributed to those reckless family members, or It is more important for them to take care of their funeral than in my hands."

"I have no objection to how Sect Master Chu will deal with this money." Cen Liang's expression also warmed up, and he sighed, "Sure enough, it is a gentleman's sword, and he behaves like a gentleman, and I admire it in my heart."

"Don't dare"

"Since that's the case, there is one more thing." Cen Liang nodded, then returned to his serious look, and said in a deep voice: "My six sects would like to invite Sect Master Chu to serve as a guest in the sect, I don't know what Sect Master Chu wants? "

As he said that, he took out another letter, but it was signed by the head of the Ningzhou branch of the six sects, and the content was obviously not different from what he said.

Picking up the letter and looking at it carefully, Chu Sheng looked troubled, frowned and said, "I admire the noble family's free arrest, and I also want to help. But I am already the leader of a faction."

"It doesn't matter." Cen Liang waved his hands with a smile, and said, "It's because Sect Master Chu doesn't know much about our six sects, so he has such doubts."

"Keqing, you are not a member of my six sects. In fact, even the righteous arrests are often performed by children from other sects; just like my brother Fei Xing, even if he comes from another sect, he is also walking in the rivers and lakes. When I was young, I went down the mountain and entered my six gates to work as a righteous arrester. Being a disciple of the Wulei Mountain Gate and a righteous arrester of the six gates, but it is not a problem, it is not an act of betraying the sect, but an act of righteousness. "

"And the so-called Keqing is just a nominal name. You are not restricted on weekdays. You don't need to accept missions on a regular basis. You can do whatever you want, and you don't need to sit in the gate. There are only two things that need to be coordinated. One is to ensure that the children of the sect go down the mountain to travel around the rivers and lakes. There are several disciples who enter the six gates to work for the righteous arrest; and on weekdays, if there are six gates righteous arresters visiting the territory, they can help each other appropriately; the two are when there is a big movement in the gate, and the master of the gate summons them When the situation arises, they should obey orders and take part in actions together.”

"But even so, compared with these two obligations, Ke Qing still enjoys all the resources in the six doors, and there are many martial arts classics for you to choose to practice, but you can't pass them on to others." Cen Liang is not in a hurry. Without delay, he explained to Chu Sheng in detail: "In fact, most of the 16 guest ministers in the Ningzhou branch are headed by other sects, and there are very few idle tourists in the world."

It turns out that the organization of these six sects is really loose, and there are very few direct forces that belong to the sect, and there are many disciples or heads of their other sects who join them as righteous arresters and so on.In other words, if this is the case, Keqing will benefit more, not to mention what is on the surface, but what is hidden is that the six sects of the world are working together. A word of benevolence, righteousness and decency is really impossible to escape, and the reputation among the sects is also different.

If this is the case, it is not impossible to do a little comparison.

What's more, Chu Sheng also had one thing he couldn't say and said, that is, he took a fancy to the so-called martial arts classics provided by the six doors for the guest.If you don't want to cultivate, you just have to memorize it carefully, so that replacing others in Hao Shanju should be a sure profit deal.

While thinking about it, Chu Sheng had already made up his mind, and with a face full of righteousness, he was obliged to say: "Since that is the case, I am willing to do my part!"

"That's very good!" Cen Liang nodded with a smile, and said, "Since that's the case, I have to trouble Sect Master Chu to follow me to Ningzhou City once, and I have to meet the Sect Master and make an appointment. Come, and receive the order from the guest."

"Of course it should be." Chu Sheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's just in a hurry, but it can't be done. Can you allow me to clean up some trivial matters in the next three or two days?"

"Of course!" Cen Liang said, "Brother Fei Xing, even though I was born in the Wulei Mountain Gate, will take this opportunity to go to the Cixi Mansion and return to the clan. In this way, we will wait When the two of us return from Cixi Mansion, Sect Leader Chu can go with us to Ningzhou City."

Speaking of this, the three of them settled the matter, and then Chu Sheng also left Zuiheyuan, and found a restaurant to treat the two of them, and finally said goodbye to them.

When he was about to leave, Fei Xing frowned and said: "The perpetrator, have you stopped looking for it?"

Cen Liang shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I know this matter well, let's let it go for now."

"Why?" Fei Xing was confused, but couldn't help asking.

"Do you think the head of Chu is suspected?"

"Of course not!" Fei Xing looked serious, and he couldn't suppress his respect for Chu Sheng in his words, "Master Chu is a modest and gentleman, how could he do such a trivial thing!?"

Chu Sheng gave up the reward and took care of the aftermath for Jianghu Caomang, which made him feel extremely admired and cared, and his favor for Chu Sheng soared.

No one can criticize Chu Sheng's handling of this method, and Cen Liang actually admires it in his heart.But he didn't speak. Unlike Fei Xing, he is a direct descendant of the six schools. Apart from practicing martial arts since childhood, he also learned the techniques and methods of solving crimes, so he has his own intuition for this matter. .Although Chu Sheng never showed any flaws and there were witnesses, in Cen Liang's heart, there was always some suspicion.

The only thing is, what a coincidence, it happened to be staying in the Zuihe Garden, as if someone was expected to come looking for it.

But it was just what he thought in his heart, and there was no definite evidence in his hand, so what can he do.Furthermore, Chu Sheng is a person who has entered the eyes of the masters of the six gates of Ningzhou. Faced with this unclear suspicion, if we really investigate it, we may not be able to draw any conclusions, but it will offend him. , It is a small loss that makes a big difference.

What's more. Cen Liang shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then Jiang An Jiang Junwei is not a good person in the first place, and it is normal to die in a vendetta. There is no need for us to spend so much time looking for flaws to solve the case."

When he was going from the scene to the government office, Fei Xing went to inquire about Jiang An's deeds, and what he heard was of course unsavory reviews. The people in the city had long suffered for the lieutenant, and he died. Most of them are happy.Although they often pursue criminals for the government to solve cases, they are also divided into right and wrong, and divided into targets. Of course, they don't have much interest in facing such villains.Therefore, when he said this, Fei Xing was speechless. After a while, he changed the subject and praised sincerely:
"The Gentleman Sword really lives up to its reputation. It treats people with hospitality and acts benevolently."

Cen Liang smiled, and sighed sincerely: "I don't know the level of martial arts. If you want to kill the five rats in the daytime with a sword, and kill the golden swordsman who splits the mountain, the skill is not weak. Besides, apart from martial arts, his character and virtue , but it is also excellent, and what Yingzhou chanting tourists preached is true, it is indeed a gentleman's sword."
