"Yes, Master." Seeing Wei Sheng just appeared, Zhou Qing bowed respectfully.

"So it's Master Wei Wu, meet Master Wei Wu." The young man lost the momentum he had when facing the apprentice, and his confidence was drained away in an instant.

Wei Sheng ignored the young officer, but put his hands behind his back and looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

"I didn't expect that the matter of the Zhao family even alarmed Chief Constable Su."

"Su Ting greets Senior Wei." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully, with a very humble attitude.

As a martial artist in the bone refining realm and the strongest person in the Heishan Town Yamen, he always said what he meant and acted decisively and domineeringly.

But facing Wei Sheng, he was still a lot shorter.

Originally thought that Zhou Qing was like an ordinary apprentice in other martial arts halls, and was called to the Yamen as usual to scare him and see if he could ask anything.

Now, when he heard the address during the conversation between the master and the apprentice, he immediately changed his mind.

"It's just routine, we'll ask a few questions and leave."

"Yeah." Wei Sheng responded lightly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, where were you on the morning of 21 days ago?" Su Ting asked politely.

"On the morning of 21 days ago." Zhou Qing frowned and recalled, pausing for a moment.

"In most cases, in addition to reeling silk, I should have been picking mulberry leaves in the mountains in the morning. Chief Constable Su, wait a moment, I'll take a look."

As he spoke, Zhou Qing took out a booklet from his arms and flipped through it.

"Well, that day I shot a snow rabbit and two pheasants on the mountain, and sold them for 620 coins at Baiweilou. You can see it in my account book."

"Can I borrow it to have a look?" Su Ting's eyes flashed.

"Please." Zhou Qing handed over the booklet.

Swish

Su Ting flipped through it quickly. In addition to the account, there were also some essays on the day's harvest and martial arts experience.

For literati, writing essays is a normal habit.

After Su Ting's eyes changed slightly, he returned the booklet to Zhou Qing.

Then, he asked several other apprentices on the spot.

"Sorry for bothering you, Senior Wei." After the questioning, Su Ting clasped his fists and said goodbye.

"No problem." Wei Sheng smiled faintly.

"Goodbye."

Su Ting turned and left the martial arts hall.

On the way to the next martial arts hall, the young officer couldn't help asking.

"Sir Su, is the questioning of Baiyun Martial Arts Hall over?"

"What else?" Su Ting said calmly.

"The old lady of the Zhao family offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, is that it?" The young officer looked unwilling.

"If the murderer is really a disciple of a great martial arts master in the six major martial arts halls, what do you think?" Su Ting stopped.

"Of course it is." The young officer's voice weakened.

How can you arrest the disciple of a great martial arts master unless there are witnesses and evidence.

This is not a troublemaker, come up and beat him with 20 boards before questioning.

"This world is getting more and more chaotic." Su Ting looked disappointed and looked at the direction of Black Wind Mountain from a distance.

Recently, in addition to the county town, there have been more and more cases of missing persons in various towns, and the government has been completely short of manpower.

Especially when a nobleman like Zhao Lie disappears, more manpower needs to be deployed to investigate.

Zhao Lie's "disappearance" is still under investigation, but it has nothing to do with Zhou Qing.

To be safe, he stayed in the town for another seven or eight days.

After confirming that nothing happened, he set off for the county town early in the morning.

After staying in the county town for five days, he participated in the auction that afternoon.

With the last item "Purple Gold Hammer" sold for 2,800 taels of silver, this auction ended.

Zhou Qing walked out of the auction hall on the sixth floor in a huff, returned to the counter on the fourth floor, and entered the box to rest under the guidance of the waiter.

After a while, a middle-aged man with an elegant face walked into the box. It was Zhao Sheng, the director of the auction.

He presented 240 taels of silver notes with a smile on his face.

This time, Zhou Qing sold inner armor and boxing gloves inlaid with python scales, so he sold them for a full 70 taels of silver more than last time.

"Did you seem to want to buy weapons? Didn't you find anything you like today?" Zhao Sheng asked tentatively.

"I want to buy a sharper knife." Zhou Qing lowered his voice.

There were no knives for sale at the auction today, only a sword of good quality.

He was going to bid it down to replace the knife, but he didn't expect that the item was favored by a rich young man. The bid was too high, so he gave up.

"I have a good place to recommend to you. There is a 'Strange Weapon Shop' in Anhuafang, east of the outer city. The third shopkeeper of that shop is collecting the flesh and scales of exotic beasts.

If you can meet the needs of the third shopkeeper of the Strange Weapon Shop, you should be able to buy a satisfactory weapon at a lower price."

Zhao Sheng said with a smile.

"You won't leak my information, right?" Zhou Qing asked with a move in his heart.

"How dare I? We, the Zhao's Company, will never do such a thing to damage our reputation.

I am just a middleman. If you have no such intention, I will never reveal your identity." Zhao Sheng apologized with a smile.

"I am overthinking. Please forgive me, Director Zhao." Zhou Qing said in a muffled voice.

"You are too kind." Zhao Sheng smiled.

"In that case, I will go to this strange weapon shop to take a look. Goodbye."

Zhou Qing collected the banknote and left Zhao's Company.

He asked a few passers-by on the way and soon found the strange weapon shop.

This strange weapon shop is much larger than the weapons shop in the town. Zhou Qing stood at the counter in the front hall and could only vaguely hear the sound of iron forging coming from the backyard.

Zhou Qing did not say that it was Zhao Sheng who introduced him, but he only said that he needed a sharp knife, preferably one that is easier to break armor.

After a while, shopkeeper Xu of the Qibing Shop asked his clerk to enter the warehouse and find three knives.

"The iron sword is three feet and three inches long. It is made of iron mixed with black iron and fine iron. It weighs four kilograms and two taels. Four hundred taels of silver."

"The Ice Strength Sword is two feet and seven inches long. It is made of black iron and fine iron, mixed with a small amount of the essence and blood of the alien beast 'Ice Armored Crab'. It can withstand the infusion of true energy. It weighs three kilograms and five taels. Six hundred and five Ten taels of silver."

"The Green Rainbow Sword is worth nine hundred taels of silver!"

"If these three swords are to be fought against a warrior, the Qinghong Sword will naturally be the best.

If you are dealing with strange beasts with powerful scales, I recommend the Bingjin Knife. However, the blade of this knife is a bit brittle, so you have to be careful of heavy blows coming from the side.

As for the iron knife, it has both, but it cannot withstand the infusion of true energy for a long time and is prone to cracks. "

Shopkeeper Xu patiently introduced Zhou Qing, but saw that he was deep in thought and did not urge him.

‘I can only afford the iron sword, and I can also buy the ice sword with gritted teeth, but I have to use the golden beans obtained from Zhao Lie.’ Zhou Qing pondered in his heart.

Zhao Lie is not the only one who has the golden bean, but now that the limelight is tight, it is better to be more stable.

And after using up the golden beans, he would have no money to buy medicinal materials.

"I heard that the third shopkeeper of your store is collecting the essence, blood and scales of alien beasts. Is it true?" Zhou Qing took out a giant python scale from his arms.

The shopkeeper picked up the scales and inspected them. After a while, he called for the assistant.

"Quickly go to the backyard and ask the third shopkeeper to come and ask him to bring the 'Demon Slaying Sword'!"

Thump thump thump.

In less than ten breaths, footsteps sounded from the side door.

Before anyone arrived, a strange aroma of wine wafted over first.

"Um?"

Zhou Qing just smelled it and felt hot all over his body, and his energy and blood surged.

"This is."
