Chapter 178 Zhou Qing: I admit that I spoke too loudly just now! (Two in one)
Seeing Han Wending appear, Zhou Qing couldn't help but look happy. He quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "I've met Han Shibo!"
Before he went to Nanli County, just in case, he wrote a letter in advance and asked the town's escort agency to deliver the letter to Han's family and hand it over to Han Qingqing. This was to prevent the Demon Suppression Department and the police as soon as he arrived at Nanli County. People from the Five Poison Sect came to look for trouble.
He really guessed it right!
However, Zhou Qing didn't expect that the Demon Suppression Division and the Five Poison Sect would send two great martial arts masters from the Blood Exchange Realm to question him. They really thought highly of him.
Of course, he never expected that the person coming from the Han family was not Han Qingqing, but the head of the family, Han Wending.
Han Wending turned around, with a gentle smile on his solemn face, and stretched out his hand to help.
"My good nephew is exempt from courtesy. Last time my good nephew left in a hurry, he did not allow the Han family to fulfill their duties as landlords. When he returns this time, he must stay with the Han family for a longer time."
"It was the junior who was rude last time." Zhou Qing said respectfully.
When the two great martial arts masters of the Blood Exchange Realm on the side saw this, their expressions froze. They didn't expect that Zhou Qing had such a close relationship with the Han family, so this was a bit troublesome.
"Let's settle the current matter first." Han Wending nodded, and the smile on his face gradually faded away as he faced the two great martial arts masters in the blood exchange realm.
"Wan Guang, you broke into nephew Zhou Xian's house for no reason and beat my maid. Are you trying to turn against my Han family?"
"I" Wan Guang's face changed when he saw Han Wending's tough attitude, but he did not dare to say harsh words to Han Wending, so his attitude immediately softened.
"Senior nephew Wan Jiang is missing. I came here to ask questions on the order of the sect master. I want to find out the situation from my young junior nephew named Zhou."
"Oh? Wan Jiang is missing?" Han Wending said thoughtfully, without saying anything more, but looked back at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Senior Brother Wan Jiang and I are not familiar with this senior. I only know that he never came back after going out last month, and I don't know anything else. I want to know about this, Senior Sister and Senior Brother Wei has informed Master."
They had already prepared their rhetoric before coming.
Since it is firmly confirmed that Wan Jiang is missing, the best explanation is that it is not clear.
After all, a big living person, a bone refining realm martial artist, has legs of his own, so no one can see him.
"Whether it's true or not, follow me back to the Five Poison Sect, and the sect master will find out once you ask." Wan Guang's face darkened.
"Even if I go to the Five Poison Sect, Senior Brother Wan Jiang's disappearance has nothing to do with me. Listening to what the senior said, is it possible that he still wants to torture the junior?" Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.
When Han Wending heard this, although he said nothing, his oppressive eyes fell on Wan Guang.
Wan Guang felt his whole body tense up, and said bravely: "The sect master will naturally not torture the disciples in the sect, but the elder of the punishment hall in the sect has practiced a 'soul-taking technique', which can be used on warriors below the blood exchange realm to make them Tell me everything you know, and tell me everything you know.”
A strange color flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Has the sect used the mind-bewitching technique on Senior Brother Wei?"
"Not yet." Wan Guang's expression was stagnant. In fact, he was just deceiving Zhou Qing. Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing was young and didn't panic at all when things happened.
However, mainly because Han Wending was by his side, he did not dare to intimidate Zhou Qing with his cultivation in the blood exchange realm.
"It seems that this soul-obsessing technique has quite a negative impact on the recipient, right?" Zhou Qing's face turned cold. He was not scared.
"If you don't resist, you will naturally not be affected. If Master Nephew Zhou is clear, why not give it a try?" Wan Guang said forcefully.
"Whoever doubts it will provide proof! I am innocent myself, why do I need to prove my innocence? Besides, if I use such insidious methods against my disciples just because of my suspicion, it would be fine if I don't leave the Five Poison Sect." Zhou Qing's attitude Toughened up.
Private fights are strictly prohibited in Nanli County. In fact, it is not Zhou Qing who is protected, but Wan Guang.
If this was in the wild today, a mere Wan Guang would not be qualified to question him.
Wan Guang saw that Zhou Qing didn't give him any face, and his words were almost scolding. He didn't regard him as an elder or senior at all. He couldn't help but sneered with a sullen face:
"Listen to what you mean, don't you admit that you are a disciple of the Five Poison Sect?! You are indeed a disciple of Junior Brother Wei, each one is better than the other."
"Huh?" Han Wending on the side raised his eyebrows.
Wan Guang's face suddenly turned green and white, as if a dyeing workshop had been opened on his face.
However, from the beginning, he came with the attitude of bullying the small and overwhelming others. Now facing Han Wending, who is far stronger than himself, he can only be defeated.
"Senior Wan, if you have nothing else to ask, please come back. This junior comes from a poor family and doesn't have any decent tea to entertain senior, so I won't keep senior as a guest." Zhou Qing looked indifferent and said goodbye directly.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I will tell the sect master what happened today truthfully!" Wan Guang gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Qing hatefully.
"Farewell!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands at Han Wending and walked away immediately.
At this time, the other remaining demon-suppressing officer in purple official uniform looked slightly embarrassed.
"Xiao Yun, what about you? Why did you come to see Zhou Xian's nephew?" Han Wending looked at the other party. Although he called him by his first name, his attitude softened.
"Lord Han, Xiao Kang, the general in charge of Ping'an County, has disappeared inexplicably. He investigated a large number of files about Zhou Qing before his disappearance, so my subordinates came to Zhou Qing to find out some information."
Xiao Yun saluted respectfully.
Although the Demon Suppression Division and the Nanli County Governor's Office are not in the same system, Han Wending, as the Nanli County Commander, has a higher official position and stronger strength than him, so he naturally dares not neglect it.
Han Wending's heart moved, and he said calmly: "Before Xiao Kang disappeared, he investigated a lot of files about Zhou Xianzhi. This can't mean that his disappearance is related to Zhou Xianzhi?"
"Of course, I'm here just for routine inquiries." Xiao Yun said seriously.
"Okay, ask." Han Wending nodded.
"Yes." Xiao Yun looked at Zhou Qing and asked him a few basic questions, such as where he was on the day Xiao Kang disappeared, what he was doing, and whether there were other people around.
Zhou Qing responded one by one.
In fact, Xiao Yun and Zhou Qing knew that the questioning was just a formality.
Zhou Qing had been in the Demon Suppression Division, so he naturally knew how many ways to interrogate prisoners in the imperial prison. If you don't consider the degree of perversion, many punishments are simply beyond the imagination of normal people in terms of creativity.
Even a tough man can't stand more than a dozen tortures.
But such punishments will naturally not be used on Zhou Qing.
Many times, it doesn't matter whether you did it or not.
If Zhou Qing has no strength and no background, he will confess as long as he enters the prison of the Demon Suppression Division.
This is the same as being stabbed eight times in the back and committing suicide.
Death may be the easiest result at that time.
The point is not the truth, but completing the task.
"I have finished asking questions, and I will go back to report." After Xiao Yun finished asking questions, he did not delay, bowed respectfully to Han Wending, and was about to leave.
"Sir Xiao, take care." Zhou Qing bowed and said, and was about to see Xiao Yun out.
"Brother Zhou, please stay." Xiao Yun signaled him not to see him off, and walked out of the mansion quickly.
Zhou Qing watched Xiao Yun leave, his eyes changed for a while, today was just the first level, it was the beginning of trouble, not the end.
He pursued stability, but there were always people who didn't let him have stability.
Zhou Qing looked at Han Wending, "Uncle Han, actually this matter."
"You don't need to explain, I believe what you said." Han Wending raised his hand to interrupt him. For him, the truth was not important.
"You saved Qingqing and Lu Yan, I must repay this favor, even if it means making enemies with the Five Poison Sect. Besides, the Wan family today is no longer the Wan family of the past."
"Thank you, Uncle Han!" Zhou Qing bowed respectfully.
"No need to do that." Han Wending held Zhou Qing's wrist, "Qingqing has shown me the letter you wrote to her. I plan to arrange a position of lieutenant general for you in the Shenwei Camp. In this way, both the Han family and the Su family will become your backers, and you can practice with peace of mind before you break through the blood exchange realm."
"Lieutenant general? This is probably against the rules, right?" Zhou Qing was stunned. Lieutenant generals are generally military officers who can only be great martial artists in the blood exchange realm.
"It is against the rules. However." Han Wending nodded, revealing an unquestionable domineering tone in his words: "In the Shenwei Camp, my rules are the rules!"
"Of course, you are now a lieutenant general, and it is definitely difficult to convince the public, so you will not be given real power or salary at the beginning. I believe that with your ability, you will soon be able to stand out in the battle with the barbarians. By then, you will be the legitimate lieutenant general of the Shenwei Camp."
Han Wending said with a smile.
"Yes!" Zhou Qing said seriously. Joining the Shenwei Camp will make it much easier to contact the Wuxi Barbarians.
"The camp set out yesterday, and there are still some things to deal with in the camp. I will go back to the camp first and come to you in a few days." Han Wending nodded.
"Uncle Han, you are too polite. When Uncle Han returns, it will be the younger generation who will visit you." Zhou Qing said respectfully.
"That's good. Qingqing has been talking about you in my ears for a while!" Han Wending smiled.
"Dad! What are you talking about? You are making up stories about your daughter behind her back again." At this time, a coquettish voice came from the gate.
Zhou Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Han Qingqing wearing black armor and her long hair tied into a high ponytail. Compared with her previous arrogance, she looked heroic.
"You didn't have time to hear me praising you before, but you just happened to hear it when I said this." Han Wending teased.
"Who told you not to bring me when you came back? How can I have such a body movement as you do?" Han Qingqing said unhappily.
"You are asking me to help my nephew Zhou." Han Wending didn't have the airs of a master in front of Han Qingqing, just like an old father who doted on his daughter.
"What are you talking about?!" Han Qingqing's face turned red and she stamped her feet anxiously.
"Okay, you young people, talk more. I still have to deal with the affairs in the camp." Han Wending saw that his daughter was anxious, and he disappeared in the field with a flash.
"So fast!" Zhou Qing's eyes fixed, and he almost didn't have time to react before Han Wending disappeared from his sight.
Such speed is far beyond what Mu Renjie can match.
Han Wending is very likely to be a top martial artist who has exchanged blood more than six times, and his strength may be stronger than Wei Sheng in his prime.
"Brother Zhou, how are you doing recently?" Han Qingqing came to Zhou Qing and looked at him coquettishly.
"Thank you Miss Qingqing for your concern. I'm doing well recently." Zhou Qing smiled and bowed, then ordered the two maids: "Hurry up and serve tea to Miss Qingqing."
"Yes." The two maids hurried to the backyard.
At this time, Han Qingqing noticed the slap mark on Lanlan's face, and her face sank slightly: "Lanlan, who hit you."
"Fourth Miss" Lan Lan saw Han Qingqing and told her what happened just now with a crying voice.
"The people of the Wan family are really bullying!" Han Qingqing's face was full of indignation.
"This matter will not be let go, I will definitely make Wan Guang pay back a hundredfold!" Zhou Qing comforted her. Since Wan Guang had ill intentions towards him, he had no choice but to let him die.
"Mr. Zhou" Lan Lan was a little moved. She believed that Zhou Qing would have this ability sooner or later.
"Lan Lan, you were beaten for me today. Go find Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu and go to the warehouse to get fifty taels of silver as a little compensation for you." Zhou Qing nodded.
"Mr. Zhou, how can this be possible." Lan Lan waved her hands repeatedly. Even though she was a maid of the Han family and a close friend of the most favored fourth lady, her monthly salary was as much as two taels of silver, and fifty taels of silver was enough for her to save for several years.
"Of course, I, Zhou Qing, deserve more than 50 taels of silver. If it weren't for the recent high expenses and insufficient silver in the treasury, even 500 taels would not be a big deal." Zhou Qing said seriously.
He never treated people who did things well unfairly.
With his current expenses, an extra 50 or 500 taels would not do much.
But for the people below, this money is a huge sum.
It's too mean to make so much money and still be stingy with the people around you.
"Lan Lan, since Brother Zhou said so, you should keep the silver. Brother Zhou is much more generous than me." Han Qingqing echoed.
"Miss, you are too polite. Miss treats me very well!" Lan Lan said hurriedly.
"Go." Han Qingqing motioned Lan Lan to go quickly.
"Yes." Lan Lan bowed and left the front yard.
Han Qingqing waited until Lan Lan left before speaking: "Brother Zhou, if you are short of money, you can tell me."
"I am short of a lot of money, so you should keep your money for yourself. I have my own way." Zhou Qing waved his hand. Han Wendi had helped him so much this time, and he was embarrassed to borrow money from Han Qingqing again.
Besides, although Han Qingqing was the most favored one in the Han family, he was still young after all, and a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver would be a lot.
If it weren't for the fact that many of his things were temporarily inconvenient to sell, he would not be short of money.
Some of the items on Mu Renjie and Wan Jiang alone could be sold for nearly 10,000 taels of silver.
Han Qingqing nodded and walked to the front hall: "Okay, if you need anything, just let me know. I have the property my mother left me, all of which are my private money. Although I don't earn much, I can lend you 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver for emergency use. When you have money, you can consider paying me back."
"Squeak!"
Han Qingqing talked to herself. She walked into the front hall and found that Zhou Qing didn't follow her in. There was a "squeak" behind her.
"Brother Zhou?" Han Qingqing looked back and saw Zhou Qing standing at the door with a stunned expression.
"Miss Qingqing, I admit that I spoke too loudly just now." Zhou Qing showed a bright smile on his face, and his eight white upper teeth were dazzlingly white under the sunlight.
"Actually, this." Zhou Qing made a fly rubbing his hands gesture.
30,000 taels of silver!
Enough for him to make a big breakthrough in martial arts and Gu refining at the same time.
If he rushed to the blood exchange realm in one breath, his strength would increase greatly, and it would be much easier to make money.
"."Han Qingqing was confused by Zhou Qing's sudden enthusiasm.
