Chapter Ch170 - Sun Lang, Arrested
Through this kind of conversation, Xi Yangyun and Gongyi Tianheng were considered to have established a preliminary friendship. Although one wouldnât go so far as to mention how close they became, at the very least, Tianheng was already a contact whom Xi Yangyun was willing to befriend. In the future, thereâd probably be many more opportunities to cooperate.
Tianhengâs goal was reached. Without a doubt, he was very pleased.
After sitting down again for a short time, Tianheng and Gu Zuo said their goodbyes and left.
As for Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu, they obtained many benefits and each had their own things to do.
Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo travelled side by side.
After roughly getting out of the range of the Violet Tower, a hasty silhouette rushed over to bar the two peopleâs way forward.
Gu Zuo was somewhat bewildered.
This was in broad daylight. It couldnât have been a person from Lu Jiusiâs faction coming to cause them trouble, right?
Tianheng placed a hand on Gu Zuoâs shoulder, and told him not to worry.
That figure stood at the ready. It was a young man who was short and small. After seeing Tianheng, he politely handed over a sealed paper scroll.
Tianheng took the paper scroll and opened it, swiftly skimming over the words within.
Gu Zuo was a bit curious: âBig brother, this is?â
Tianheng smiled and said: âAn invitation from Senior Sect Brother Zhao.â
Gu Zuo thought it over. Being called Senior Sect Brother Zhao, theyâd have to be relatively familiar with that person. It was Captain Zhao Yuheng of a certain enforcement squadron, right? Could it be possible that that side already had some information?
Tianheng saw that Gu Zuo was puzzled, and said to him: âWeâll find out once we go.â
Gu Zuo nodded and went with Tianheng. They followed that short and small young man who turned towards another direction.
That way was Zhao Yuhengâs residence â A comparatively large courtyard.
Only martial artists at the Immortal Realm or above could occupy small mountain tops. For Zhao Yuheng, although he was the captain of a small enforcement squadron, his strength was still only as a Xiantian stage eight Inner Sect disciple. He could only concentrate his efforts on a standard courtyard.
Of course, there were some Inner Sect disciples who burrowed their way through loopholes. For example, the venue of Duanshui Hall was Duanshui Peak. It was a solitary place that Li Duanshui secured thanks to his connections. However, that definitely didnât mean that Duanshui Peak completely belonged to Li Duanshui â Only once he broke through to the Immortal Realm and his rank changed would he be able to truly occupy it.
Returning to the topic at handâŠ
To put it briefly, what Gu Zuo currently saw was a large-scale courtyard that was several dozens of times larger than an ordinary Inner Sect discipleâs courtyard. Looking at it from outside, it was practically a manor unto itself.
There was someone guarding the front of the courtyard. Ahead, that short and small young man went over and called out in greetings. That person naturally let him pass. Tianheng and Gu Zuo lifted their feet and went in. Although they didnât take a look around, their peripheral vision caught glimpses of the particularly beautiful scenery here. A dense ambient qi met them head-on.
Passing through several promenades, they reached the main hall.
There werenât too many other people in the building. Zhao Yuheng, who hadnât yet changed out of his enforcement clothes, seemed to have just returned not too long ago. After seeing Tianheng come in, he stood up in welcome and gave enough face.
And respect was always something given mutually.
Tianhengâs face also promptly revealed a smile. He cupped his hands and sent his regards: âIâve received Senior Sect Brother Zhaoâs summons, but I hope I havenât come too late.â
The corner of Zhao Yuhengâs mouth twitched with an imperceptible smile, and he nodded: âPlease sit.â
Gu Zuo also hurriedly came over to pay his respects.
Zhao Yuheng looked at Gu Zuo, and his expression was somewhat subtle.
Gu Zuo didnât understand too clearly, but didnât speak much. He obediently followed Tianheng and took a seat.
Tianheng held some tea and sipped a mouthful, but his words went straight to the point. He immediately asked Zhao Yuheng: âDid Senior Sect Brother Zhao discover something?â
Zhao Yuheng also had a temper that didnât like to wade through muddy waters. He heard what was said and nodded: âIndeed. There was a discovery.â
Gu Zuoâs interest was suddenly piqued.
Ah, there really was something! In the end, what did the enforcement squadron find?
Tianheng also cast a waiting look.
Zhao Yuheng said: âThe person who ordered the assassins is called Sun Lang.â
Gu Zuo thought it over.
Who was Sun Lang? Gu Zuo didnât know himâŠ
Tianheng similarly didnât know him. The twoâs gazes fell upon Zhao Yuheng.
Zhao Yuheng also didnât keep them in suspense, and immediately said: âSun Lang is a low-level pharmacist of the Pharmacist Hall. His aptitudes are also considered top-notch. In the Sect, apart from the quasi Golden-Level pharmacist Xu Lingxiu who ranks first in all aspects, there are only a few young and remarkable talents beneath him. Sun Lang is one of those talents.â
Gu Zuo absolutely didnât expect that the person to be thrown out would be a pharmacist with excellent prospects!
On the contrary, he didnât feel that Zhao Yuheng lacked the skill to find the right person. Because things like scapegoats could only be substitutes of inferior quality, how could one possibly use someone of such high quality? However, he was completely unaware of any animosity or complaints between himself and Sun Lang!
In this situation, it wasnât any good for Gu Zuo to interrupt. Gongyi Tianheng was good at understanding others, and at this time, he opened his mouth on Gu Zuoâs behalf: âDoes this Sun Lang have anyone behind him?â
Zhao Yuheng said: âFor a pharmacist with such aptitudes, thereâs about seven or eight people in total. The majority are members of the Pharmacist Hall. Because heâs a rare commodity worth hoarding, he isnât easily roped in by others. Sun Lang hasnât yet followed another person. His heart is set on refining medicine, and it seems he wishes to be able to take that Golden-Level pharmacist as a teacher one day.â
Gu Zuoâs heart suddenly thumped loudly.
â Sun Lang hadnât come over to quarrel because Xu Lingxiu wanted to recommend him to that Golden-Level pharmacist, right?
He reconsidered it, and felt it was wrong. Xu Lingxiu had this notion just recently. While theyâd been targeted by Sun Langâs assassins several days ago.
Tianheng revealed a slightly astonished expression: âSenior Sect Brother Zhao is perceptive. Ah Zuo usually stays with me. As for becoming enemies with that Sun Lang, itâs almost impossible.â
Zhao Yuheng heard what was said, and the expression on his face turned a little strange: âI naturally understand this matter. You two can also be consideredâŠto have
extremely bad luck
.â
Tianheng was stern: âIâd like to hear the details.â
After that, Zhao Yuheng gave them a detailed account.
For others, this affair mightâve been quite complicated. However, for the enforcement squadron, they had taken root within the Sect for so many years. Concerning their network, they werenât completely ignorant of the matters, big and small, throughout the Sect; especially in the field of investigating a case. If they came up empty-handed⊠Then, it was either a once-in-a-millennium evil genius whose good luck kept the guy hidden, or it was a âcover-upâ where other reasons forced a compromise.
That Sun Lang had done this kind of thing, and his methods werenât considered sophisticated.
Inside the Sect, there existed a group of people who were normally obscure and unknown, but they would secretly receive this kind of business for murder. Basically, it was a small gang of murderers in the Inner Sect. There wasnât a leader or any definite organization. It was something of a gray area with a wide jurisdiction.
â Generally speaking, if one came across an assassin and found the other sideâs token, one would discover that the other side was very low-key. That person would be a regular hand at this kind of job.
The capture of the threadâs end could initiate an audit. There were so many people in the Inner Sect, so there would always be traces left behind when finding someone. As the saying went, there was power in numbers. Once the enforcement squadron took action, the green light was given along all avenues. After going through a series of investigations, they followed the vine to get to the melon, leading to Sun Langâs identity.
Sun Lang, as a relatively outstanding pharmacist, was someone who originally received deferential treatment. It was a pity that he didnât rely on anyone nor was there a pillar behind him for support. On the contrary, he had some good friends, but those disciplesâ capabilities were insufficient. He also hadnât apprenticed to a master and didnât have relatives with powerful forces⊠When the enforcement squadron arrested him, they werenât polite about it at all!
Afterwards, the enforcement disciples imposed a certain degree of intimidation upon this guy who dared to quibble after being caught. There werenât any excessive methods used. Sun Lang didnât have much courage to begin with and while he hadnât yet been punished, he was already falteringly declaring his own reasons.
With so much foreshadowing, Gu Zuo was even more curious about the âextremely bad luckâ.
Zhao Yuheng paused: âHas Junior Sect Brother Gu previously refined pills at the Medicine Pavilion?â
Gu Zuo felt a bit discouraged, and nodded: âI took the evaluation there before.â
Zhao Yuhengâs eyes carried a bit of sympathy: âAt that time, because Elder Huo respected you greatly, Sun Lang was already displeased. After Sun Lang saw that your medicine refining skills werenât below his, he was worried that you would affect his position. In addition, he had many previous grievances with Xu Lingxiu. However, Sun Lang vastly fell short of Xu Lingxiuâs status, and was incapable of doing anything to him. As a result, his resentments were placed on you.â
To put it bluntly, that Sun Lang was petty-minded and didnât want any pharmacistâs level to exceed his. Originally, there were several others who were similar to him, and he wasnât too resigned. With Xu Lingxiu pressing down from above, he felt suffocated for many years. Even aside from these people, there came along Gu Zuo, a person whose potential was stronger than Sun Langâs. He basically couldnât endure it any longer!
It was the soft persimmons that people chose to squeeze.
Gu Zuo was a nominal disciple, and his identity was a lowly one. Sun Lang couldnât afford to provoke Xu Lingxiu, but what about Gu Zuo? So, Gu Zuo became a punching bag.
Gu Zuo: ââŠâ
Sure enough, it was extremely bad luck. He absolutely didnât remember the guy!
Moreover, he already kept a low-profile⊠His big brother liked to pretend to be the pig to eat the tiger, and when he conducted himself, he wouldnât take the limelight when one shouldnât. However, just because they were playing dumb, didnât mean they were really dumb! With so much caution, someone still showed up to make trouble!
It was no wonder why Zhao Yuhengâs expression was so strange.
On one side, Gu Zuo was in a helpless and furious mood. On the other side, Gongyi Tianheng was deep in thought.
One would find out from Zhao Yuhengâs words. After Sun Lang was punished, he hadnât confessed to any matters pertaining to Lu Jiusi, but it was impossible for this affair to be unrelated to Lu Jiusi. Sun Lang sounded like he was only interested in saving his own neck. Could it be that they still had some other plans? This was also something they had to defend against.
After thinking it over, Tianheng said to Zhao Yuheng: âThis person, Sun Lang, did such a thing. What will the enforcement squadron do to discipline him?â
Zhao Yuheng said: âEverything will be carried out according to the Sect Regulations.â
Gu Zuo recalled the Sect Regulations.
It was written in Article 12: If a Sect disciple conspires to murder a fellow disciple and they arenât sworn enemies, regardless of whether they are a martial artist or pharmacist, they will be sentenced with capital punishment.
In other words, murder meant paying with oneâs own life!
Of course, this type of matter was only used when the other party was capturedâŠ
Tianheng seemed relieved, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes: âThe enforcement squadron enforces the law impartially. Truly a model for my generation.â
As a member of the enforcement squadron, Zhao Yuheng was certainly pleased once he heard these words.
After that, Tianheng lowered his voice: âOnly, Senior Sect Brother Zhao, although this matter is already over, my heart is still somewhat uneasy⊠In the capacity of a pharmacist, when Sun Lang plotted against Ah Zuoâs life, the strength of the requested killers far exceeded our own. This makes me feel rather unconvinced. I think that Sun Lang doesnât necessarily lack a backer.â
Zhao Yuheng listened to Tianhengâs words and his gaze slightly moved. Immediately following which, he patted Tianhengâs shoulder: âThis conjecture of yours is very reasonable. Rest assured, Junior Sect Brother Gongyi. Now that Iâve basked in the light of that Life Extension Pill of yours, the authority I possess has increased. Iâll certainly pay attention for you in private. Iâll also postpone that Sun Langâs execution for more time to interrogate. No matter who is backing him, he wouldnât dare act that brazenly after we get involved.â
After he finished speaking, the two exchanged glances and smiled. It was a tacit, mutual understanding.
Indeed, for a weak chicken like a pharmacist, just find a few people who were Xiantian stage one or two to handle it. When Tianheng was away, one person could restrict Gu Zuoâs protector while another person assassinated Gu Zuo. Why go so far as to find a Xiantian stage four martial artist? It seemed to be unfavorable to Gu Zuo, but in actuality, it mightâve been targeting Tianheng.
Enforcement squadrons would frequently judge cases, so how couldnât they see that there was something fishy going on? It was just that the present case had been heard, and theyâd also given a verdict. If Tianheng hadnât figured this out, then the case wouldâve been closed like this. As Tianheng had figured it out⊠Zhao Yuheng was rather pleased with Tianhengâs IQ, and didnât mind getting a bit closer to him.
Tianheng expressed his thanks once more: âIâve inconvenienced Senior Sect Brother Zhao.â
While he spoke, he handed over a small gourd. Inside was naturally a top grade Revitalization Pill.
Although this gift was one used repeatedly, this didnât affect the guyâs fondness for such repetition!
After that, Zhao Yuheng invited Tianheng and Gu Zuo to drink some wine.
At this feast, they found out how Zhao Yuheng relied on the Life Extension Pill to increase his authority.
First of all, what needed to be mentioned was the Disciplinary Hallâs composition.
The leader was called the Disciplinary Hallâs Hall Master, who was also a veteran Elder. Because the Sect needed a balance, a member of the Sect Masterâs bloodline would take charge under normal circumstances. That personâs strength didnât reach the Atomic Realm, but the distance was normally half a step to the Atomic Realm â This was abbreviated to a half-step Atomic Realm.
After all, if they really reached the Atomic Realm, the stage of a Grand Elder, and violated any of the sect rules, wouldnât only the combination of several Grand Elders be able to hold a trial?
As a result, half-step Atomic Realms were sufficient.
After that, there were three commanders under the Disciplinary Hallâs Hall Master. Each commander had three vice-commanders on their control.
A vice-commander was in charge of two enforcement squadrons. The commander was solely in charge of four squadrons â Of course, according to common sense, the enforcement squads under the vice-commanderâs control also had to listen to the commanderâs words. While the commander shouldâve been in control of ten squads, the other six were classified in their own separation of powers and could be withdrawn.
Merely, this was according to common sense, but the true state of affairs wasnât so simple.
Then, there were the squadrons themselves.
Each enforcement squadâs captain managed a number of people that didnât exceed one hundred â For Zhao Yuheng, because his background was very firm, he became an enforcement squad captain at a young age. There were fifty to sixty people under him. Among the thirty enforcement squad captains, his foundations were considered to be above average.
In the entire Disciplinary Hall, the number of people was between two to three thousand.
At first, Zhao Yueheng thought that rising to the next rank would be quite difficult. There was no way with the strength exhibited here. If he wanted to reach vice-commander or higher, without the strength of the Immortal Realm, then it was absolutely impossible. Even for an enforcement squad captain, Zhao Yuhengâs Xiantian stage eight just barely reached the set standard â One needed to know that if an enforcement disciple wasnât strong, then there wasnât any way to enforce the law!
But while there was no way to get promoted, there werenât any problems with increasing oneâs own manpower, making preparations in advance, and fillings the gaps when there were vacancies.
The position of a Disciplinary Hallâs vice-commander was a delicious cake, but what was even more interesting was that, among the presently known nine vice-commander positions, there just so happened to be an opening in the branch that Zhao Yuheng resided in! Many enforcement disciples were all thinking about it â Even though it couldnât be officially appointed, that hole could be occupied.
Zhao Yuheng was naturally no exception. Merely, it was a pity that he didnât have the right social connections.
However, Zhao Yuhengâs luck also wasnât bad. He unexpectedly obtained a low grade Life Extension Pill from Tianhengâs hands! This was like someone gifting him a pillow as he went to take a nap. It was simply too timely!
The more Gu Zuo listened, the curiouser he became. Could the Life Extension Pill he refined really have a use? Truth be told, this thing looked very high-end, but in fact, it could only extend the lifespan of a martial artist below the Immortal Realm. This was mostly used by people who had poor aptitudes for practicing martial arts. As for those genuine talents, it was basically useless.
Zhao Yuheng quickly talked about the following matters. At this point, his mood became a bit excited.
Because the Life Extension Pill wasnât as
chicken-rib
as Gu Zuo thought â Yes, talented people wouldnât use it, but didnât talents have friends and family? Most of all, after a talent became a powerhouse, could every one of his descendants and companions be martial arts geniuses like him?
Absolutely not!
In that case, the Life Extension Pill had a big use.
The boss of Zhao Yuhengâs boss was their branchâs commander. His powers were extraordinarily strong. At a hundred something years old, he became a high Immortal Realm character. And his crowds of wives and concubines had birthed him many sons and daughters. However, his most beloved first wife had long passed away leaving him with an eldest son. Unfortunately, he was a poorly qualified, semi-waste. Commander Zhou, known as Zhou Changqing, used many resources to upgrade his beloved eldest sonâs strength.
It was a pity that even though it was like this, his son, who was only twenty years younger than him, was now already over a hundred forty years old. His strength was still only at Xiantian stage seven. Moreover, forty to fifty years had already passed without even a hint of a breakthrough. It was basically impossible to reach the Immortal Realm within the remaining ten years!
Commander Zhouâs emotions for his eldest son were extremely deep. How could he be willing to send off his white-haired son when he was still black-haired? Lately, he had been using his authority as a commander to make his subordinates search everywhere for prescriptions or medicinal pills that would extend oneâs lifespan. Merely, ending up empty-handed caused his disposition to gradually change.
When Zhao Yuheng offered the Life Extension Pill, that truly touched the bottom of his heart. It couldnât be said that the position of the vice-commander was currently left open. After leaving his post, Commander Zhou intended to directly have Zhao Yuheng take over this position!
With such a medicinal pill, Zhao Yuhengâs status within the Disciplinary Hall suddenly underwent an enormous change! The difference in the change was like heaven and earth, which was also separated by a huge gutter!
Thus, how couldnât Zhao Yuheng regard Tianheng as important? He considered Tianheng his lucky star.
Gu Zuo listened to all this and was speechless.
Zhao Yuheng unexpectedly obtained such a huge benefit⊠It was no wonder why he was even more patient today than every time before. Zhao Yuhengâs attitude towards his big brother was also several times better.
After all, benefits moved peopleâs hearts.
Gongyi Tianhengâs hand fiddled with the wine cup. His gaze was serene and deep. He appeared to still be seriously listening to Zhao Yuhengâs expressed emotions.
Gu Zuoâs mind suddenly moved.
He couldnât help asking in his mind: Big brother, did you know about this beforehand?
Tianhengâs brows slightly rose.
[Prior to asking Zhao Yuheng for help, Iâve always been thinking about his requirements. The matter of that commander isnât really a secret. One would know with a few discreet inquires. With regards to this, you and I are lucky.]
Gu Zuo couldât help wanting to ridicule â Of course, he wouldât dare to tease Tianheng.
What was this about them being lucky? It was basically the luck of his big brotherâs Tiandu Body⊠It was simply the fate of the leading role. Anything which they needed would come. Anything which they lacked would be promptly obtained. It was rather serendipitous.
Gu Zuo only silently said a sentence: Big brother is very capable.
After that, he continued eating.
Zhao Yuheng was very considerate as he received his two guests. After they ate and drunk to their heartsâ content, he personally escorted Tianheng and Gu Zuo to the door. He opened his mouth and pledged: âWith the authority in my hands now, I will certainly strive my hardest. If I can pry out anything from Sun Langâs mouth, Iâll inform you, Junior Sect Brother Gongyi.â
Tianheng naturally replied: âMany thanks, Senior Sect Brother Zhao.â
Gu Zuo followed Tianheng and departed.
With Zhao Yuheng, Xi Yangyun, and Xu Lingxiu taking care of things now, he didnât believe that Lu Jiusi could target them in secret! The best scenario was that he made a stupid mistake and
revealed his cloven feet
. When that moment came, Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu would feel his deception. They definitely wouldnât let him get away with it. Gu Zuo had nothing to worry about.
Leaving aside that Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo had obtained so many helpers, they were more or less certain about future matters. Lu Jiusi, whoâd said his goodbyes in advance, was now in a really bad mood.
After he returned to his own Jiusi Pavilion, he waited until only his trusted aide remained to flick his sleeve onto a wooden chair to the side. He used qi energy to shatter that thing to pieces!
Despite his shrewdness and forbearance, the unwitted goading of Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu inevitably made him gloomy.
â Too despicable!
He actually had to investigate himself with those two idiots! When their dispatched forces operated with his manpower, he had to set up new arrangements again. Otherwise, if a careless mistake was discovered, his plan of many years would be completely wasted!
After ruthlessly venting his feelings, Lu Jiusi sat down on a large chair behind him and leaned heavily into it.
This time was a miscalculation.
Although the matter of looking for assassins was one originally proposed by Sun Lang, heâd done the calculations for the level of the assassins. Based on his considerations, the one who shouldâve had the highest strength was Xiantian stage three. Tianhengâs strength surpassed ordinary martial artists of equivalent realms. This shouldâve led to Tianheng being severely injured, but it also couldâve allowed Tianheng and the others to stand their ground for a period of time. By the time bystanders discovered signs of activity and came to the rescue, Tianheng and Gu Zuo wouldnât have died. However, Tianheng wouldâve greatly lost face â Even crippling his meridians was also possible.
Yet, Sun Lang, that stupid thing, replaced the Xiantian stage three with a Xiantian stage four!
This was obviously an attempt on Gu Zuoâs life!
In the end, however, Gongyi Tianheng and company killed all the assassins. This let him discover that he had still mistakenly estimated Tianhengâs strengthâŠ
If it was only this, then it wouldâve been fine. At the very least, Gu Zuo was still safe and sound. He had many other ways of dealing with Tianheng. The hidden hand he used would definitely play a big role in the future.
However, Tianheng had immediately taken this matter and told Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu. This momentarily put him in a passive state, and mobilizing the manpower under his control wasnât good.
Just as he was thinking about how to enact the schemes in his mind, someone suddenly came to report from outside.
Lu Jiusi impatiently waved his hand, allowing the person to enter.
After that person came in, he immediately bowed and saluted. He opened his mouth and plainly said: âPavilion Master, Sun Lang was taken away by an enforcement squadron!â
Lu Jiusi stood up at once, and a palm smashed a table to pieces: âWhat did you say?â His heart suddenly boiled up with a surge of anger, âAn enforcement squad? How did he get involved with an enforcement squad?â
The person who arrived was also part of Lu Jiusiâs trusted aides. Having heard what was said, he promptly stated: âYesterday, an enforcement squadron was investigating the details of a case in the Inner Sect. Although we took note of it, we didnât realize that it was actuallyâŠâ His tone became ambiguous, ââŠThis event. We also donât know what methods they used, but they had verified this matter within four hours, and Sun Lang was captured. Currently, Sun Lang was arrested and placed within the Disciplinary Hall. He has already been questioned via torture.â
Lu Jiusiâs fingers squeezed the armrests of the large chair. His voice was gloomy: âThen, what did he say? What did our person say?â
That trusted aide replied: âOur hidden seed within the Disciplinary Hall seized an opportunity to entice Sun Lang so that he wouldnât reveal the Pavilion Masterâs full name. Sun Lang believes that the Pavilion Master is still thinking of a way to save him. Naturally, he wonât disclose the truth.â
Lu Jiusiâs fingers loosened: âHave the hidden seed find a chance to kill him!â
The trusted aide hesitated somewhat: âSun Langâs medicine refining skills are extremely strong. Wonât the Pavilion Master think it over?â
Lu Jiusi sneered and said: âStupid and impulsive. No matter how good his aptitudes are, itâs useless! Heâs petty-minded, and unlikely to have too many accomplishments in the future. Iâve been coming up with this plan for a long time. If itâs leaked by him, then itâll hard to avoid drawing peopleâs suspicions. My previous reputation will also be damaged somewhat⊠He seriously isnât worth it.â
The trusted aide understood clearly, and responded: âThis subordinate will have that person act at once.â
Lu Jiusi nodded his head. After that, he recalled something and asked: âWhich enforcement squadron was responsible for capturing Sun Lang?â
The trusted aide replied: âThe enforcement squadron led by Zhao Yuheng.â
Lu Jiusi pondered: âZhao Yuheng? He has a bit of fame, but he shouldnât be of any cause for concern. There arenât many people in his control, so how could he investigate Sun Lang so fast?â
The trusted aide also recalled this matter, and promptly reported: âZhao Yuheng is very different now. According to the hidden seedâs report, he offered a type of medicinal pill to Commander Zhou Changqing, which resolved his desperate situation. Currently, Zhao Yuheng is already a potential candidate for the vice-commander post. When he went to investigate the matter of Sun Lang this time, he brought no less than three enforcement squadrons. Besides the ones from his own branch, he also borrowed people from Commander Zhou. This was how he was so fast.â
Lu Jiusiâs voice dropped: âWhy had Zhao Yuheng investigated this case, which shouldnât have attracted peopleâs attention, with such fanfare?â
The trusted aide said: âBased on the hidden seedâs words, Gongyi Tianheng had formerly sought out Zhao Yuheng to report a case to the authoritiesâŠâ
Lu Jiusiâs expression suddenly changed: ââGongyi Tianheng?â
That youngster had the capabilities to make Zhao Yuheng work for him?
The trusted aideâs expression was also grave: âIt really is him.â
Lu Jiusi contemplated for a short time.
Immediately following which, he raised his head and solemnly said: âOrder the hidden seed to deeply investigate this matter. It must be fully clarified. How did the friendship between Zhao Yuheng and Gongyi Tianheng come about?â
The trusted aide naturally complied immediately. After that, he hurriedly turned around and bustled away.
After he left, Lu Jiusi closed his eyes.
âIt looks like I still underestimated that Gongyi Tianheng.â
