Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2796 Searching the entire city
Zheng Lu, in his rage, was like a demon god, making everyone present feel cold in their hearts.
Among the four great priests, if you ask which one is the strongest, I'm afraid no one present can name it, but if you ask everyone which one has the worst temper, I'm afraid everyone will think of the fire priest Zheng Lu.
Fire priests act impulsively, and sometimes they can even be said to be reckless. Not only are they ruthless to their enemies, but they are also their own people. If they offend him, he will also deal with them mercilessly, and his means of dealing with them are extremely cruel. Many people even secretly call him "the elder of the beast tribe."
Even ordinary people who have no cultivation can feel the rapidly warming air around them and the overwhelming pressure. Everyone seems to be riding a small boat in the midst of stormy waves, and their lives may not be saved at any time and anywhere.
Zeng Jiang, Lin Hu and Jiang Xin almost dared not hesitate and immediately issued orders to their subordinates. The order is actually very simple, to find a group of people led by Shan Ji and Zuo Feng.
However, when Lin Hu mentioned the name Lin Zhi, Zheng Lu's face changed a little. He obviously had some impression of this name, and after a little thought, he remembered who the person with this name was, and therefore his doubts in his heart became stronger.
"Lin Zhi...? What is this Lin Zhi?" Since he had remembered Lin Zhi's identity, Zheng Lu had to ask. It was not that he cared much about Lin Zhi's identity and background, but he wanted to clarify the doubts in his heart.
After this period of adaptation, Lin Hu was finally able to calm himself down. Lin Hu, who calmed down again, sorted out his thoughts a little and began to explain.
"Tonight's incident has a deep relationship with Duobao Trading House. High Priest, you saw so many rampant monsters before, but in fact, a large part of them were secretly hidden by Duobao Trading House. They were going to sell them secretly, but they released them all to save Zuo Feng, and controlled the monsters to attack us."
These messages were thrown out continuously, which directly confused Zheng Lu. This is not because Lin Hu is still confused at this time. On the contrary, it is precisely because Lin Hu has calmed down now that he deliberately narrated the matter in such a haphazard way.
Zheng Lu's reaction was indeed as he expected. The fire priest had already had stronger doubts in his heart. Driven by curiosity, the other party would continue to ask for details. And as long as he slowly threw out the news, Zheng Lu would be more likely to believe his words.
The most advantageous point for him is that Zheng Lu now obviously does not know what happened in the Acropolis. In this case, whether the "process" he narrated is true or false, it will leave a deep impression in the other party's mind. This is the benefit of preconceived ideas.
Lin Hu knew this benefit, so at this moment he was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he put on a look of fear and trepidation and began to narrate in detail.
From Lin Hu's mouth, the whole thing naturally changed completely. First, a few days ago, he accidentally found a person who looked like Zuo Feng in Yixianglou in the city. When he was going to verify it further, not only did Mo Shangyou, the manager of Duobao Trading House, stop him, but even Lin Zhi came forward to excuse Zuo Feng.
Not to mention Benxiao Pavilion and the city guards, many other people in Yixianglou clearly saw the scene at that time, and Lin Hu was not worried that he could not confirm it.
The following things were Lin Hu's calm investigation, and he planned to find a way to capture Zuo Feng, and then use this as evidence to reveal the "true face" of Duobao Trading House.
The action was scheduled tonight, but his action was eventually destroyed by Duobao Trading House. Not only did he encounter a deadly resistance in Duobao Trading House, but they also protected Zuo Feng and others and escaped first.
At this time, Lin Hu said that he didn't understand why Duobao Trading House had a relationship with Zuo Feng. As a result, Duobao Trading House used special means to cause a beast tide in the city. At this time, thanks to the timely response of Pavilion Master Wu Tian and City Lord Jiang Xin, the riot was ultimately confined to the inner city of the Acropolis and did not spread to the outside.
When telling this, Lin Hu deliberately played a trick. He deliberately said that Wu Tian and Jiang Xin controlled the riot in the inner city. Jiang Xin would certainly not refuse his "contribution" and would definitely admit it actively, but Zheng Lu would determine that it was Wu Tian who launched the formation ban based on this information.
When talking about this, Lin Hu had quietly completed his three important goals. First, he completely linked Duobao Trading House and Zuo Feng together, so that the crimes of Duobao Trading House were completely confirmed, and all the "evidence" found in the future would confirm this.
Secondly, Lin Hu secretly hid the monster and created the beast tide tonight. This can give the most reasonable explanation for the actions of Benxiao Pavilion and City Lord's Mansion.
This seems to be done for Jiang Xin, and it seems that it does not mean much to Lin Hu. But in fact, the reason why Lin Hu did this was to pull Jiang Xin and himself on the same boat. If the other party wanted to protect his own interests, he had to help confirm the information he said.
From this point, it can be seen that Lin Hu is not a fool without any schemes. At this critical moment, he knew very well that he had to pull Jiang Xin and Boka to his side in order to survive the danger safely.
Another important reason is that Lin Hu must clear himself of the matter of the forbidden formation. Fortunately, Wu Tian has been killed, so he can talk to himself.
In fact, when Lin Hu told this, he was very nervous, because as long as Zheng Lu accepted this information, he would be more likely to accept other things.
After a period of silence that made Lin Hu depressed, he finally saw Zheng Lu nodded to accept it, and Lin Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While feeling relieved, Lin Hu immediately began to tell the following things. Lin Zhi and his men acted together with Zuo Feng. This was seen by countless people and was very easy to verify.
In particular, Lin Hu remembered the origin of the seventh-level flash wolf beast. It was brought into the Weicheng by Mo Shangyou and others, and it had been placed in the trading house.
The flash wolf beast first killed Zeng Han, and then seriously injured Wu Tian. These were all seen by everyone. In this way, the charge of collusion between Duobao Trading House and Zuo Feng was completely confirmed.
When he finished his statement, Lin Hu couldn't help but secretly admire himself for being able to arrange things so perfectly that even a big man like Zheng Lu was played in his palm.
However, he didn't know that the reason why Zheng Lu chose to believe, or was willing to believe what Lin Hu said, was actually another deeper reason.
Many people only know that the governor of Xinshu County is behind Duobao Trading House, but they don't know that there is another person behind the governor of Xinshu County. Strictly speaking, the shadow of the Sacrifice Hall is behind the governor of Xinshu County, and the Sacrifice Hall where Zheng Lu is located happens to be opposite to it.
Now there is such a good opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Sacrifice Hall, how could Zheng Lu let it go easily. So it is better to say that Zheng Lu chose to believe what Lin Hu said than to say that Lin Hu's words convinced Zheng Lu.
If the entire Acropolis was not in chaos now, Zheng Lu was even worried that he would not be able to control his laughter. His sight subconsciously swept down. The scene would probably make most people feel cold. In addition to a thick layer of blood on the ground, there were all kinds of broken limbs and arms.
The blood was from both monsters and humans, and the broken limbs and arms were also a mixture of humans and monsters, as if it was a slaughterhouse.
However, such a tragic scene, in Zheng Lu's eyes, could not cause too much ripples in his heart. His sight was somewhat blank and swept around.
No one knew what Zheng Lu was thinking, and no one dared to ask. Everyone didn't know that Zheng Lu still had a lot of questions in his heart that had not been solved.
He rushed back to the Acropolis in a hurry, and even destroyed the formations of the outer and inner cities. All he did was because of the order of the high priest Kuang Zhan. However, Kuang Zhan was so anxious to urge him to come back, was it because Zuo Feng and Duobao Trading Company joined forces, or because the monsters were making trouble in the Acropolis?
Obviously, these are not the reasons. Not to mention that it was just a big commotion in the inner city, even if the monsters were rampaging and killed all the people in the inner and outer cities, it would never be so urgent that Kuang Zhan used "Ten Thousand Miles Transmission" to order himself to put down everything and rush back to the Acropolis.
'There must be something else, something more serious than what I see and know. It's just that it's still unknown now, and these idiots must not know it at all. '
Sighing secretly, Zheng Lu coldly swept around everyone around and said, "You should arrange people now to keep an eye on the two city gates and two passages, and then concentrate more people to search the whole city. No matter how big or small the matter is, all suspicious situations must be reported to me as soon as possible."
After Zheng Lu gave the order, Lin Hu and Jiang Xin were both slightly startled. They just thought that Lin Hu's words had completely convinced Zheng Lu. But now Zheng Lu's order did not clearly point to Zuo Feng, Lin Zhi and others, but to report anything suspicious as soon as possible.
Such an order was somewhat intriguing. How could they know that there was another reason for Zheng Lu's return? What he was eager to find out now was what happened in the Weicheng that made the high priest Kuangzhan pay so much attention to it.
Although they were full of trepidation, Jiang Xin and Lin Hu did not dare to hesitate for a moment. While quickly sending people to deal with the defense of the city gate, they quickly mobilized manpower.
Jiang Xin directly mobilized the city guards stationed in the outer city, and Zeng Jiang had already started to act on Benxiao Pavilion, sending out all the people who could be mobilized in Yu Pavilion to conduct a comprehensive search of the entire inner city.
