Chapter 213 Greedy

"yes."

As early as on the way to return to life, Shen Qing had already prepared his words.

He pondered for a while, then slowly opened his mouth, telling the story one by one about the Zhou family's collusion with demons in Changqiao Town.

In the process of narrating, he happened to blame the death of Guan Yunjian and others on the wolf demon, and there was no proof of death.

Shen Qing had speculated in his mind that as a secret agent of Huang Tianjiao, Zheng Yuanqiu should be eager for the death of his subordinates. In his eyes, Yongzhou should be more chaotic, the better.

After all, the officer is just an ordinary martial artist. For Wei Wusi, it doesn't hurt at all if the officer dies.

There are many martial artists out there.

Just as he thought, Zheng Yuanqiu didn't care about the death of the officer.

"That's unreasonable!" After listening to Shen Qing's narration, Zheng Yuanqiu stood up and said, "As a local upright, he dares to collude with demons and cause harm to one party. It is really not a pity to die."

Seeing Zheng Yuanqiu's righteous and awe-inspiring look, if he had not known his identity beforehand, he would have just thought that he was really a good and upright official.

Now, Shen Qing only thinks that his acting skills are really good.

He took a step forward and said, "Sir, I heard that Li Zheng from Changqiao Town is a branch of the Zhou family. I don't know..."

Zheng Yuanqiu waved his hand and said: "The Zhou family has a great business, and I don't know how many branches it has. The Changqiao Zhou family has been away from the master's family for I don't know how many years. I, the Zhou family, have their own laws. They colluded with demons. This matter is reasonable enough to be punished." They sealed the deal."

Shen Qing's face was deliberately happy and he said: "With these words from the adults, I feel relieved."

Zheng Yuanqiu snorted coldly: "Don't be too happy first."

When Shen Qing heard this, a hint of unnoticeable vigilance flashed between his brows, and he waited for the next words.

"I say it stands to reason... There are a lot of trivial matters in this yamen. Sometimes even the warmth of a bowl of tea can affect the progress of the document, let alone one involving a high-ranking person like the Thirteenth Line."

Chief Inspector Zheng Yuanqiu gently caressed the finely carved jade pendant around his waist. His eyes quietly wandered over Shen Qing's body, with some deep meaning: "This matter can be big or small, it all depends on whether the Zhou family wants to make a big deal out of it. If the Zhou family really wants to pursue it, I can’t say whether you will live or die. "

Shen Qing vaguely guessed some of Zheng Yuanqiu's intentions, and he said with a serious look on his face: "What should Master Yi think of me?"

Zheng Yuanqiu was not very satisfied with Shen Qing's performance. Even though he was talking about it, he still didn't understand it.

"We have to nip it in the bud, deal with the Zhou family in advance, and build a good relationship." He nodded at the table and said with a touch of sophistication and tact: "Don't you know the rules of our yamen?"

His eyes glanced at the money bag on Shen Qing's waist intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Shen Qing knew in his heart that he wanted money!

It has long been heard from other colleagues that Zheng Yuanqiu was particularly fond of making money, and it was also mentioned in the secret book of Huang Tianjiao Anzi.

Today, I saw it once, and asked for it directly, without any concealment.

Shen Qing said with caution: "It's always true what you say makes sense."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, presented them with both hands and said, "Sir, these are the banknotes and harvest I collected from the Zhou family. I hope you will accept them with your smile."

Zheng Yuanqiu heard that his five fingers were clenched emptyly.

Shen Qing only felt the force of Shen Qing's sucking, and the banknotes in his hand clattered into Zheng Yuanqiu's hands.

"I remember you said you also killed three wolf monsters, right?" Zheng Yuanqiu asked with a hint of anger in his words.

Shen Qing nodded and said: "When I return to the General Chai, there are three wolf demons. I peeled off their furs and put them outside the door."

"Where's the demon pill? Do you still want to keep it?"

Zheng Yuanqiu's voice was not loud, but every word carried unquestionable majesty.

As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic momentum surged out of Zheng Yuanqiu's body like a substance, filling the world silently.

To be more precise, it fell on Shen Qing.

Shen Qing's expression suddenly changed.

He only felt an indescribable weight falling from the sky, as if ten thousand mountains were pressing down on his shoulders at the same time, making his spine groan unbearably and bend a little bit.

Shen Qing's feet sank deeply into the stone slabs on the ground, and even the surrounding stone slabs could not withstand the force, making bursts of tiny and clear clicking sounds.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and dug his nails deeply into his palms. All the energy in his body began to circulate involuntarily to resist such power.

The candlelight on the long desk was swaying violently, as if it was going to go out at any moment, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Shen Qing knew that Zheng Yuanqiu was very powerful. He was already at the alchemy level. The true energy in his body had transformed into a real elixir, which was far beyond what he could handle now.

He didn't expect that this person would fall out at once.

Shen Qing took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Yuanqiu solemnly. After some weighing, he took out two demon pills with trembling hands, held them in his palm and said, "Go back to Mr. Boss, the demon pills are here."

As he spoke, Shen Qing slowly opened his palms, and a faint light gradually condensed in his palms. It was the demon elixir he had obtained by killing two wolf demons.

When Zheng Yuanqiu saw this, his eyes finally became satisfied.

He nodded slightly, and the aura that enveloped Shen Qing also dissipated, as if it had never existed.

"Shen Chasi is really a man of sense." Zheng Yuanqiu's voice returned to its usual calmness: "You are just an ordinary citizen who cannot compare to those young masters and ladies. You can only rely on me. In the future, you should be self-aware and know more about the rules. Don't let me be so naked with you. It's hard for you, and it's hard for me."

"Yes, sir, I remember it."

Shen Qing slowly held up the demon pill with both hands, and Zheng Yuanqiu waved his sleeves and took it with both hands.

"Don't worry, I won't accept it in vain. You don't have to be afraid of these high-ranking families in the future. I will take care of it for you if there is any problem."

If you can't bear it, let me die, right?

Shen Qing couldn't help complaining in his heart, and he had no interest in eating the cake drawn by Zheng Yuanqiu.

But despite thinking about it, he still maintained his intuition as a subordinate, and said with a "touched" face: "Thank you, sir."

"It's getting late, is there anything else?"

"No."

Zheng Yuanqiu said: "Then go down. I will make up for your subordinates' errands another day. During this period, you should handle it by yourself."

"Yes, thank you, sir, then I will take my leave."

"Leave the wolf demon fur outside."

Shen Qing bowed his hand in response, walked out of the door and strode away.

"Really a bit ungrateful." Looking at Shen Qing's back as he left, Zheng Yuanqiu snorted coldly: "Fortunately, he is a person with no background and easy to deal with. Otherwise, if it was those children of high-ranking families, I would really have to spend some time and effort."

...

In the night, Shen Qing's face gradually became cold, and he said nothing.

"This Zheng Yuanqiu is really greedy. It's okay for the others because they are all from high-class families and can handle it with the support of their families, but I have no one to rely on and can only rely on myself. With such an appetite, I'm afraid I won't have peace under his control."

"Next, I still need to work harder on my martial arts progress. Only when I have the cultivation to rely on myself can I be stable."
