Chapter 465 – You think of a way

An Zheng’s gaze seemed to always be outside the window, but in his heart, he was actually thinking about where he made a mistake. As the head of the Da Xi Ming Fa Si, he had been investigating for so many years, if he could not even find out what was happening, then An Zheng would not be An Zheng. Initially, there were many people who wanted to kill An Zheng, but it was actually extremely rare for anyone to do so. This was not only because An Zheng’s strength was tyrannical, it was also because he had sufficient experience.

His fingers drummed on the windowsill as he tried to figure out where these people were from. What part of him did not do well enough to attract the attention of others?

According to common sense, the major powers of the Great Xi Empire should not be concerned about him. Although he had a high profile in the first courtyard, it was still only a matter between youngsters for the major powers. An Zheng could tell that the people around him were definitely not from the same origin, because they were all on guard against each other.

Could it be that the three people he killed had been exposed?

An Zheng rejected this idea in his heart. If it was exposed, then Mu Ziping’s father was a general of the Great Xi Empire, there was no need for him to do this. He could directly bring people to the Three Academies to denounce them for their crimes. The Three Academies would definitely not offend a general for the sake of someone from the State of Yan. An Zheng should already be waiting for his head to be chopped off in the Ministry of Justice’s prison.

Since this wasn’t the matter with Mu Ziping, then was it the helpers of the people he defeated that wanted to teach him a lesson?

However, this was not right. If he wanted to teach Chu Feng a lesson, there was no need for him to show up at such an occasion. As he walked forward, the enemy would have plenty of opportunities to strike.

There were people from the Ming Fa Si s.

This was the only thing that An Zheng was sure of, the person at the table where most people gathered was from the Ming Fa Si. Whether it was the location or the distance, An Zheng was very familiar with them. Furthermore, that man and woman who did not seem to have any legitimate relationship were definitely not from Ming Fa Si. The distance was too close, and that was not Ming Fa Si’s method of handling cases. As for the person selling candied fruits who seemed to be tired of sitting and resting downstairs, he was most likely in the same group as the couple.

An Zheng’s gaze moved away from the candied flakes that were being sold, and discovered that there was an old man wearing a grey robe standing right opposite the restaurant. From his bearing, he seemed to be the leader of one group. Upstairs and down the stairs, even the streets were filled with the other party’s people.

An Zheng pondered for a long time. The other party did not make a move, but An Zheng suddenly reacted... Perhaps he had thought too much and thought too much into things. Sometimes, the wicked did things without any complicated reasons, and they did it as they pleased. These people were, of course, organized and premeditated, but there was no definite purpose behind the premeditated plot.

If those young people seated around the table were from Ming Fa Si, An Zheng guessed that they were probably related to Fang Xing. However, the one sitting behind Fang Zhen was Ou Yangduo, and he had always been in charge of the Intelligence Division. If this conjecture was correct, then the people at that table would not have to worry at all.

What about the rest? In the past two days, other than challenging and offending people, the only person he had interacted with was Vice Principal Sun Zhongping. When Sun Zhongping was looking for An Zheng, he once asked around about An Zheng being attacked in the State of Yan. A person who has done something shameful can easily do something impulsive.

Just then, An Zheng realised that he was lucky.

The servant in Chen Zhongqi’s residence, who was in contact with Sun Zhongping, actually walked out of Chen Zhongqi’s courtyard. After tidying up his clothes, he headed in the direction of the restaurant.

When An Zheng saw this person, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile. Now he was sure that those people were indeed found by Sun Zhongping. Against someone who had an unknown origin and did not pose much of a threat, Chen Zhongqi would not call upon his own people. Therefore, these people were most likely Chen Zhongqi’s external strength. And this servant clearly had some status within the Chen Zhongqi Palace, so the one leading the fight today was him.

There weren’t that many coincidences in this world. Most of them thought it was a coincidence that they had their own plans. Why did that servant appear at this time? Of course it was towards An Zheng.

An Zheng no longer thought about who these people were, and instead thought about how he could make use of this situation. The more sensitive Sun Zhongping was, the more it was clear that he had been absolutely involved in that matter at the time.

An Zheng suddenly stood up, and then directly swept out of the window. In an instant, everyone upstairs was stunned. That man and woman, who didn’t seem to have any proper relations with each other, suddenly stood up and looked downstairs. The young men and women sitting around a table in the distance quickly stood up. The two groups of people looked at each other and were stunned.

This situation was simply too easy to take advantage of.

On one side was An Zheng, on the other side was the people from the Ming Fa Si, and on the other side was Chen Zhongqi’s people. The other two groups of people obviously knew that the other person wasn’t one of their own, so they were on guard against each other. This was one of the things that An Zheng wanted to take advantage of. They were wary of each other, so they would be cautious when doing things. If it was a group of people, the moment An Zheng dashed down, the other people would have followed along and rushed down as well.

Now, however, they had only rushed to the window for a split-second to look down before taking precautions against another group of people.

An Zheng did not leave. After he jumped down, even the seemingly carefree old man dressed in gray robes was about to move. As for the candy seller, he was about to pull out the sword that was hidden inside, but An Zheng suddenly stopped beside him.

An Zheng took ouiece of broken silver from his sleeve and passed it to the person buying the candied fruits, and laughed: “What a coincidence, your candied fruits are really delicious, and you didn’t eat enough, and just as I was regretting not buying another one, I saw that you were down there, what a coincidence.”

He thrust the money at the man. “Come on, two more.”

Then, he pretended to inadvertently look at the man’s sword that was already half drawn out. “Aiya, this Great Western Jinling is truly filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Even someone like you uses your sword to sell candied fruits.

He pulled out two skewers of candied fruits and walked back to the entrance under the stupefied gaze of the man. Then he went upstairs and sat down where he had been sitting. But when An Zheng went down, that servant from Chen Zhongqi’s residence coincidentally walked to the stairs, and as An Zheng walked in from the back, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He couldn’t go up, nor could he. In the end, he could only brace himself and go up.

This was f * cking embarrassing.

A bunch of people were standing by the window. They looked at each other, then pretended as if nothing had happened and sat back down. Even idiots knew there waroblem, but they had no choice but to sit back down.

An Zheng returned to his seat and smiled as he ordered some dishes. At this time, just as Chen Zhongqi’s servant was about to leave, the restaurant’s waiter accompanied him with a smile and ran up to the servant: “Ninth Elder, what wind blew you here today?”

The servant was called Wang Jiu, he looked around, then looked at An Zheng and sat down: “The food in the residence today is not right, I told the butler to leave it for you guys. It’s the same as always. I’m going back after I finish eating. ”

The waiter hurriedly ran down the hall. The dishes served even faster than the people who arrived earlier. Wang Jiu did not look back and just sat there eating.

An Zheng just jumped down from the stairs and messed up everyone’s plans. Wang Jiu started to eat, An Zheng got up to settle the bill and left. This time, the situation was even more chaotic.

Wang Jiu gave a look, and the couple stood up and followed him out. As for Ming Fa Si’s group, they could only follow them out. An Zheng had no choice but to say in his heart that the quality of the newbies was not good. It seemed that all the experts in Ming Fa Si had been transferred away. In a sense, Ou Yangduo waerfectionist. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had no one in his possession, he wouldn’t use this kind of person to do things.

After An Zheng walked out of the door, the old man in the grey robe looked up the stairs, Wang Jiu who was standing by the window waved his hand, and the old man turned around and left. An Zheng had a small mirror in his hands, and didn’t turn around to see the old man leave. He knew that after messing up his opponent’s plan, they would have to give up their initial plan, and from this moment onwards, the initiative would be returned to An Zheng.

An Zheng began to increase his pace. He was fast, and the people behind were also fast.

Two minutes later, An Zheng suddenly disappeared. After he rushed into a small alley, the people at the back ran in and he could no longer see An Zheng.

After half a minute, An Zheng returned to the restaurant with the yaksha umbrella. He flipped Wang Jiu over in one strike, then placed him intortable space tool and walked out boldly.

20 minutes later, An Zheng was back in his own room in the Three Academies. Once he entered the room, An Zheng sealed the room with his Holy Fish Scale. No one outside would be able to hear or sense any sound coming from inside.

An Zheng let Wang Jiu out, then poured himself a cup of water to drink, then poured another on Wang Jiu’s face. Under the stimulation of the cold water, Wang Jiu suddenly woke up. Then, he looked at An Zheng with a face full of fear. What are you doing?! Do you know who I am?! ”

An Zheng nodded, and pulled over a chair to sit down: “Of course I know, it’s just one of Chen Zhongqi’s servants, so don’t put on an act. I just want to know why you sent someone to follow me. It looks like you want to kill me? There’s no enmity between me and you, there’s no enmity between us. Why? ”

Wang Jiu said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I advise you to let me go as soon as possible. Otherwise, you should know what the outcome will be.”

An Zheng: “So annoying … It seems thaeaceful conversation is not going to work. ”

He put his hand on Wang Jiu’s shoulder and in the next moment, Wang Jiu fainted. Then she woke up in unbearable pain and fainted again a few seconds later. Wang Jiu woke up and fainted. After just three times, he had already collapsed.

“I won’t ask about anything else.”

An Zheng released his hand, “Tell me how you can contact Sun Zhongping, I don’t want to know anything else.”

Wang Jiu’s pale face turned even uglier: “You …” How did you know that I know Sun Zhongping. ”

An Zheng reached out his hand and pressed it on Wang Jiu’s shoulder, “I don’t want to hear nonsense.”

Wang Jiu was immediately terrified, “We use signals to communicate with each other. Use this!”

He took out an item from his pocket and handed it over to An Zheng, his hands trembling violently. This kind of person, his status was not high, his cultivation was average, and relying on his status, of course no one in Chen Zhongqi’s family would dare to provoke him. Therefore, An Zheng was very clear that this kind of person would not keep their mouths shut. Moreover, the methods he used to force himself to confess was not something that ordinary people could compare with.

“A whistle?”

An Zheng took it and looked at it, he was a little doubtful.

Wang Jiu immediately explained: “This whistle does not emit sound. Although I do not know the principles behind it, but as long as I blow it, Sun Zhongping’s whistle will respond. In the same way, he blew, and I reacted. ”

An Zheng acknowledged: “So you are someone who has specifically contacted Sun Zhongping?”

Wang Jiu immediately nodded. “Yes, you’re right. You said just now that it was only a misunderstanding between you and I, and there is no enmity between us. “So, it’s better if you let me go. Otherwise, if I still don’t go back in a while, the manor will look for me. If it really is …”

An Zheng found a pill and stuffed it into Wang Jiu’s mouth, “Don’t be afraid, it’s jusoison. Of course you can try and find someone to cure you of the poison, but if the truth that you’ve caught with me gets out, even if you find someone to cure you, the people in the Duke Chen Zhongqi Palace will not keep you. So you don’t dare to say that you’ve been caught by me. You said that neither I nor your own people would kill you. I don’t like to kill people. The poison will act up 3 days later, I just want to kill Sun Zhongping. Help me arrange for him to be killed. When the time comes, I’ll give you the antidote. Of course there’s a way for you to look as though you don’t know anything. Of course, Sun Zhongping was someone that the Duke Palaces did not care about, it was just that there wasn’t much point in killing him. So, even if Sun Zhongping dies, no one will suspect you. ”

“The Duke Palace will of course investigate carefully, but you will definitely have a way as well. This is because you are the only person connected to Sun Zhongping, and you know his weakness.”

“He’s so perverted!”

Wang Jiu was a smart person, he obviously knew his own situation was just as An Zheng said. If he was captured, regardless of whether or not he had been caught or captured, the manor wouldn’t leave him behind, no matter what. So, it would be better to cooperate with An Zheng to kill Sun Zhongping, even if he did not know why An Zheng wanted to kill Sun Zhongping.

“Sun Zhongping and I haversonal grudge. Back then, he had caught my family members when we were still in Ming Fa Si.”

An Zheng said: “If you kill him, you can pretend that you have killed him. After that, you and I will have nothing more to do with each other.”

An Zheng helped Wang Jiu up: “Since you said he’s lustful, then this accident, you think of a way.”
