Repugnant Gateway

When An Zheng sees Zhou Shen again, he always feels that this person has changed. There was a little bit of flicker in that look, and there was something that could not be seen through. An Zheng has been investigating cases in Mingfa for so many years, and what he is best at is catching the eyes of others. This kind of thing is illusory, but it is indeed a really useful tool.

As long as the person has done evil, no matter how tough the psychological quality, but when faced with the official, the eyes will always change somewhat. Zhou Shen's eyes were open before, without any impurities. But bye-bye this time, An Zheng felt Zhou Shen's eyes were cloudy.

Of course, this is just a judgment, and it does not really represent anything.

Zhou Shenzai looked at An Zheng carefully and carefully, then his face changed slightly: "You are very much like an old man of mine."

An Zheng asked: "Old friend?"

Zhou Shen smiled and shook his head: "It's just that his eyes are very similar, how could you be him, he is already dead."

After talking, Zhou Shen turned around: "Come in. I have basically nothing to do with your people who are fasting. I haven't dealt with you. As for your deep hidden proprietor, I don't know Who is it? I ’m even less interested. I do n’t know what he sent you to tell me. "

An Zheng followed Zhou Shen into the study, and then closed the door of the room: "Master, I am not actually sent by the proprietor of my house. As you said, I know that you have always been clean and clean, and you will never have any business What kind of exchanges of interests. Our proprietor and you never know each other, and there is no intersection. So, how can you send me? "

Zhou Shen stepped in and looked back at An Zheng: "What do you mean?"

An Zheng said: "I came back to Daxi to report my job this time. I am the big shopkeeper of Qingzhai Yanguo Branch. This time I took Zhao Guo to return to Daxi. After entering the customs, I found something very strange."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shen's eyes changed: "What's the matter?"

An Zheng said: "The village near the border ..."

Zhou Shen: "What happened to the village ?!"

There was a slight movement in An Zheng's heart, and he was sure that Zhou Shen must know something, which was not the reaction that Zhou Shen should have had. And at that moment, An Zheng felt a trace of killing in Zhou Shen's eyes. However, this murderous intention was fleeting and was well hidden by Zhou Shen.

An Zheng carefully recounted what he saw near the frontier. Zhou Shen seemed to listen to An Zheng seriously, and then shook his head: "I haven't been out of An Ancient City for thirty years. It ’s always been reported to me by my men. For so many years, I ’ve never heard people say that something strange has happened in the frontier. You are at ease, and I will send someone to investigate. If it is true, I will Will surely find out what happened and give the people an explanation. "

Ann nodded: "Since that is the case, then I will leave."

Zhou Shen: "You can't go first, after all, you found this thing. I will let my men go with you. As for the time delay, I will write a handwritten letter to you, which will delay the time. The reason is clear, then you can just give it to your proprietor, and it is expected that he will not embarrass you because of your assistance in investigating the case. "

An Zheng didn't intend to go so fast. On that day, his mind was like the hungry ghost on Kuo Cang Mountain.

"Well, I will go to the Qingzhai branch of the city to stay. If the master of the city has any instructions, just send someone to the store to find me."

Zhou Shen yelled: "Go, you are a chivalrous person, very good."

An Zhengke made a few remarks, and then left the city's main house and walked toward the direction of Qingzhai in the ancient city. He is a man with a very detailed work. When he pretended to inquire about the city's main palace, he asked where Qingzhai was. So without any delay, he went to Qingzhai with no wrongdoing. An Zheng knew that someone behind him was following, and Zhou Shen's twinkling eyes were very problematic.

Entering Qingzhai, An Zheng directly revealed the token that Dan Taiche gave him. The Qingzhai shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked An Zheng to enter the inner hall.

"Who are you the proprietor?"

The shopkeeper asked, it looks like this is an old man in his fifties, his figure is well maintained, and there are not many wrinkles on his face. Qingzhai ’s shopkeepers are well paid, and most of them are practitioners, so their true age is not obvious. He told Anzheng that he was Niu Su, a native of Angu.

Of course, Anzheng will not say anything casually, and still uses the identity of the shopkeeper of the Yanguo branch, only saying that there is something wrong with returning to Shengting City. He has this token on him, and Niu Su will certainly not doubt anything.

When An Zheng walked along the way, he always felt that there was something wrong with the people here. It seemed that the situation in the city that had been almost unchanged for thirty years also worried him. But before waiting for Niu Su to say something, someone came in to report that someone was coming from the city's main palace. Please fight for the investigation.

Ann went out and saw a group of sturdy men wearing big red brocades, and the person headed looked extraordinarily intrepid. There is a special temperament that only military personnel have, and the whole person looks like a sharp javelin. He looked extremely cold in his eyes, as if he wanted to look directly into his heart.

"I'm the captain of the city's government office, and my name is Zhou Zijian. The city master told us to come and pick you up and go to the north to see the situation. If you are convenient now, just follow us."

Ann nodded his head. He turned back to Niu Su, the treasurer of Qingzhai, and when he spoke, he found some fear in Niu Su's eyes.

Anzheng is very unaccustomed to horse riding and very unaccustomed to it.

Zhou Zijian briefly asked a few words along the way, and An Zheng answered truthfully, except that there was no communication between the two people. The twenty or thirty red clothes that Zhou Zi saw were all checked, and each one was even more silent, saying nothing along the way. I don't know whether it is my own illusion or psychological worry. An Zheng always feels that these people are all strange. It's not just them, everyone after entering the city is strange.

After going out of the city all the way to the north, these horses are extremely good, the same speed. Zhou Zi looked around from time to time and did not know what he was looking at.

Walking north for about a hundred miles, it was almost noon. Zhou Zi saw his hand raised, and the team behind him stopped immediately, which shows that these people are really well-trained. Dismount the horse neatly, stand neatly on the side, waiting for Zhou Zijian's instructions.

"Let's rest for a while."

Zhou Zijian handed An Zheng a kettle: "If it's fast, we can get to it within two days without sleeping at night. But the necessary rest is still needed, take a bite, drink some water, and try not to delay the time. . "

When Anzheng took over the kettle, he called Tianmu away from Xue Peizhu's bracelet and stopped in Anzheng's palm. When An Zheng held the kettle, the sound of Tianmu immediately sounded in An Zheng's brain.

[Poisonous, herbal toxins in water, extremely violent, but colorless and tasteless, it is a top grade poison. There are herbal medicines corresponding to detoxification in the medicine field of the blood culture beads bracelet, which have been extracted. 】

An Zheng didn't say anything, took the kettle, opened the lid and took a sip, then handed it back. After seeing Anzheng drinking the water, Zhou Zi's face apparently eased a lot, and then he found a stone by the road and sat down.

Anzheng knew that he was waiting, but Anzheng, who had already extracted the medicine, would naturally not be poisoned. But he was going to act, so An Zheng's face became a little white after a few minutes, and then squatted down covering his stomach: "You ... you want to kill me!"

Zhou Zi saw that he did n’t stand up, and looked at Anzheng lightly: “It ’s not that we are going to kill you, but that you are looking for your own death. The Qingzhai shopkeeper does n’t do a good job, and does n’t have a good future. Why do you have to come to Angu? ? Even if you come to the ancient city of An'an, you can rest honestly for one night and then walk honestly, there is no intersection with this place, how good? "

Anzheng clutched her stomach and fell there: "You ... why? I'm for the people of Angu, why do you want to kill me?"

Zhou Zi saw: "That's your trouble. There's nothing you need to take care of here. Everything is fine here, the people are very happy, everyone is following the rules. Even if we have all gone to the government office, we haven't received the case for a long time. The people here love each other, and there is no contradiction. If you act rashly and destroy the beautiful life in our ancient city, it is our negligence. "

An Zheng bit the corner of his mouth and sipped a bit of blood: "Why? Before I died, I wanted to know why!"

In fact, the means of contention can be asked almost even if these people are forced to interrogate. But now, An Zheng still hopes to get something out of this Zhou Zi seeing mouth. After all, he was immediately a dead person, and often things that could not be asked by torture confessions could be said to the dead. A dead person is a dead person, and of course no secrets will be revealed.

Seeing Anzheng, Zhou Zi asked Anzheng after being silent for a while: "You said, what kind of world is the best world?"

Ann contended for a moment and said, "What does this **** have to do with me, I just want to know why you guys want to kill me, is it something I did wrong?"

Zhou Zi saw: "Yes, you did it wrong, and my problem is not about you. The most perfect world, of course, is what I said just now, no evil happened, everyone lived in harmony, The neighborhood is in harmony. Everyone smiles and greets each other kindly, then greets each other, and then live their lives. There will not be much communication between people, because there will be conflicts once there is more communication. As long as there are conflicts There will be grudges. As long as there are grudges, there will be life and death. "

Zhou Zi saw: "An Gu is very good, An Gu is a paradise. The people here are all kind, there are no conflicts and grievances between each other. We do n’t need help from others, we never need it. It ’s up to us to maintain the place. Everyone inspects Yamen. "

He looked at An Zheng: "I like young people to be chivalrous, but don't worry about anything. After you die, we will bury you well, and I use the best poison ..."

After his words were over, his face changed: "This poison attack should not be your current reaction."

Anzheng smiled helplessly: "How do I know what the reaction is ... I haven't said a single point for a long time, so I have to ask you another way."

He stood up and patted the dust on his body: "Still use the method I am accustomed to, you are prepared, there may be a little pain."
