"Mr. Shangguan."

Facing the young man in fancy clothes in front of him, Captain Zhang also frowned.

"What are you doing here?"

"I heard that you captured several high monks, so I came here."

"What monk?"

Listening to the inexplicable words of the young man in fancy clothes, Captain Zhang was also stunned. The big man didn't believe in Buddhism, so he didn't know what monks and nuns were. When he heard this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him. If he guessed correctly, this young man should be the son of a high-ranking official, and he actually called those guys high monks in his words...

Great, your damn preaching has reached my territory...

"Those are the people you arrested earlier!"

"You mean those bald guys?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhang’s face darkened.

"Mr. Shangguan, may I ask what is your relationship with these bald men?"

"This...this...what happened? What does it have to do with you?"

After all, the man opposite was the son of an official who lived a life of luxury. Seeing Captain Zhang's face sank, he suddenly became less confident.

"These bald guys are suspected of harboring serious criminals of the imperial court. If you have no special relationship with them, please leave."

Having said that, Captain Zhang stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

"please."

“You…you…”

Looking at Captain Zhang in front of him, the young man in fancy clothes was shaking with anger.

"How dare you do this? Do you know that my father is the county magistrate? He can make you get out with just one word!"

Oh, it turns out he is the son of the magistrate of Guiyang.

Fang Zheng silently took out the little black notebook in his mind.

Dear Davarishi, is your name ready to be put on the purge list?

"Master Shangguan, you don't know that the person these people are hiding is not an ordinary murderer, but the bloody butcher Wang Wu! Not only that, they also confessed that they took Wang Wu in with knowledge of the situation. Master Shangguan, you should know the crime of taking in a serious criminal of the imperial court and not reporting it."

“This, this…”

Faced with Captain Zhang's question, the young man in Chinese clothes didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You must have forced me to confess!"

"That is absolutely not the case, Master Shangguan."

Seeing that the young man in fancy clothes in front of him was so stubborn, Captain Zhang had no choice but to repeat what the bald men had said before to him.

"…That's it, Master Shangguan, do you understand? They admitted that they were harboring a serious criminal of the imperial court for such an inexplicable reason, so they should be arrested and tried for harboring a serious criminal."

“…This is really great.”

"……Um?"

“Those masters are indeed great monks!”

However, what Captain Zhang did not expect was that the young man in fancy clothes became even more excited.

"Even a ruthless person like Wang Wu, the Bloody Hand Butcher, has submitted to the Buddha's teachings. This is what it means to put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly!"

“……???”

What the hell?

Seeing the psychotic reaction of the young man in fancy clothes in front of him, Captain Zhang looked at the bailiff beside him blankly, not knowing what to say. However, the young man in fancy clothes looked at Captain Zhang again as if he had taken drugs.

"So Captain Zhang, since you know this, why don't you release him?"

"...? Master Shangguan, I don't understand what you mean..."

"Hasn't Wang Wu been inspired by Buddhism? So he has become a good person and will not commit crimes again! This is all thanks to those monks! Why do you still want to lock those monks up!?"

“……???”

At this moment, Captain Zhang looked at the young man in fancy clothes with a look that was like "Is this kid mentally ill?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about, Master Shangguan. In any case, it is a fact that these people are hiding the murderer. No matter what their reasons are, it cannot change this."

“But, but…”

"Alright, take Master Shangguan out now. I still have some notes to take."

Captain Zhang also found an excuse, and then two bailiffs came out and smiled and asked the young man in fancy clothes to leave. Captain Zhang then sighed and sat on the chair opposite Fang Zheng.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I made you laugh."

"Nothing, but that person just now was..."

"That's the son of Shangguan Long, the magistrate of Guiyang. Sigh... I don't know what's wrong with him. He even dares to provoke such a thing..."

At this point, Captain Zhang sighed helplessly. You know, this is not just a simple case of harboring a serious criminal. Wang Wu is a serious criminal in the court and has killed many people. Some of them were hired by high-ranking officials to assassinate in order to eliminate their competitors. So this is not just a civilian case, but also involves the officialdom.

Because of this, no matter how nicely the bald men who took Wang Wu in said, they would not just let it go. Next, they would have to conduct a secret investigation of the sect called Jingnian Zen Temple to confirm whether there was any inside information about this sect.

And in this situation, this second-generation official actually dared to come and intervene... Did he think his father had lived too long?

"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Captain Zhang."

Fang Zheng chuckled and stood up.

"I have to attend the martial arts conference, so I won't accompany you."

"Please rest assured, Master Fang. Leave it to me. I promise I won't let Wang Wu get away... Of course, he can't get away either."

Thinking back to Wang Wu, who was lying on the bed and wailing like a dough man, Captain Zhang also showed a bitter smile. Although they did not express anything on the surface, in private, most of the constables and yamen runners applauded Fang Zheng's actions.

After all, they also have to hunt down these criminals, but because of their lack of strength, people often die at the hands of these criminals. Because for criminals like Wang Wu, Captain Zhang and others are also gritting their teeth in anger but can do nothing. Even if the other party is really caught, due to their status, they can't really torture the prisoners to vent their anger.

Therefore, it feels very comfortable to make the other party suffer a dilemma like Fang Zheng does.

After that, Captain Zhang also sent two people to escort Fang Zheng to the venue of the martial arts conference. Although the incident with Wang Wu happened before, it was already the end and most people had already gone to the arena to watch the next competition, so it did not cause any impact on the martial arts conference itself.

When Fang Zheng arrived at the venue of the martial arts conference, the martial arts performance that served as the opening act had just ended, and the next part was the free arena part.

Of course, this arena is not an arena for martial arts competitions and win marriages. It is just like the ones in martial arts novels. Anyone who wants to challenge can just jump up, introduce themselves, and then express who they want to challenge - originally this part was mainly for the exchange of martial arts, but later it evolved into a refereeing arena mostly used to resolve disputes in the martial arts world.

After all, if you fight privately, it is hard to say whether you will win or lose, but in the martial arts conference, it is in the public eye, and it is difficult for anyone to cheat. Therefore, many people also regard this session as a stage to resolve grudges.

Of course, most of the cases that can be solved here are family grudges that are difficult for an honest judge to settle. After all, this era still emphasizes the rule of law. If it is really a case like the one in martial arts novels where someone kills someone else's entire family or wipes out someone's entire clan, there is no need for this kind of solution at all. You can just report to the police directly.

For example, in the case of Lin Pingzhi and Liu Zhengfeng's entire family being wiped out in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, there is no need for the protagonist to practice martial arts for revenge. If it were in the Han Dynasty, it would be treated as a major case and handled for you.

For example, the two brothers from Haihu Villa are now competing. The younger brother fell in love with the older sister-in-law and had sex with her, but was discovered by his older brother, and the two brothers turned against each other. So now the two are cursing at each other on the stage.

My brother said that I entrusted my wife to your care because I trusted you, but you ended up taking care of her for nothing?

However, my younger brother retorted that after you married my sister-in-law, you spent all day drinking and partying outside and never came home, leaving my sister-in-law a widow. I withdrew from her at the beginning because she truly loved you. But now that you have married my sister-in-law, not only are you not behaving like a human being, you are also having a mistress outside. Of course I have to get my sister-in-law back!

So the two brothers started fighting in the ring after a disagreement, which made the onlookers below watch with relish. Only the owner of Haihu Villa had a face as black as coal. It was estimated that after this martial arts conference, there would be another bloody incident when they returned home...

In the end, this battle between brothers ended with the younger brother winning the beauty. However, the next two to come on stage were a pair of disciples from Emei, and this time it turned into a love entanglement between a senior brother and two junior sisters.

Junior Sister A said that I was the one who came first. Whether she was calling him senior brother or taking care of him, it was obviously me who came first. But why was this so?

Junior Sister B said that although we are best friends, love has no reason, I just fell in love with Senior Brother and can't help myself...

In the end, both sides decided to fight it out.

What followed was a series of actions by both sides on the ring. The senior brother watching below was also sweating coldly. However, when Junior Sister A was about to win, she suddenly threw down her sword, hugged Junior Sister B and told her the truth - it turned out that the one she really liked was not the senior brother, but Junior Sister B!

Because she didn't want Junior Sister B to marry Senior Brother, so she chose to sacrifice herself!

Why? I obviously like you, but why do I want to fight you?

After Junior Sister A's confession, Junior Sister B finally confessed her true feelings. In fact, she had always had a crush on Junior Sister A, but Junior Sister A did not show any special feelings for her. So in desperation, she chose to marry the senior brother and force herself to forget her feelings for Junior Sister A.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and walked off the stage in a loving embrace, leaving the senior brother alone, dumbfounded, staring at the two junior sisters walking away...

Your circle is so chaotic!

Fang Zheng, who was sitting in the audience, was enjoying the show while holding his peanuts and sunflower seeds. He felt like he was watching a show about morality and law. However, just as he was waiting for the third show, he saw a white shadow flash by, and then a young man in tight clothes flew onto the stage and raised his hands.

"I am the wanderer Zhao Yide! I challenge the Jade-faced Young Master Fang Zheng!"

"Um?"

Fang Zheng was eating melon seeds and singing a song. When he heard the other party shouting, he was stunned.

What's going on?

The girls I have flirted with in the past few decades probably don’t have boyfriends…
