Chapter 61 Investigation



Chapter 61 Investigation

Ding Zhigang and Lu Anfu each looked at Fang Zhixing, observing his breath, his posture, and his muscle lines.

The two looked at each other for a while and couldn't help but look at each other.

Then, the two of them went into the house and sat down with Master Yun Chen in silence.

Ding Zhigang spoke first: "Fang Zhixing, I am here on the orders of the county magistrate to investigate the assassination attempt by pirates. I would like to ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

Fang Zhixing said, "I will definitely cooperate. Lord Ding, please feel free to ask."

"I don't deserve the title, just call me Captain Ding."

Ding Zhigang smiled, changed to a comfortable sitting position, and said slowly: "Before coming here, we checked the roster of Tieshanmen, including official and non-official personnel, but we didn't find you. What's going on?"

Hearing this, Fang Zhixing was prepared for this and said calmly: "Perhaps I did not express myself correctly and caused misunderstanding. I only learned martial arts from Iron Palm Cheng Tianen and did not officially join the Iron Mountain Sect."

Ding Zhigang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Oh, then how did you and Cheng Tianen know each other?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "I escaped from the mountains and came to Xiaoqinghe Town. I heard that Cheng Tianen was recruiting disciples, so I went to learn martial arts from him. I paid for it."

Lu Anfu suddenly narrowed his eyes and questioned: "You were able to kill fifteen pirates, one of whom was a warrior, so you must be quite powerful. Cheng Tianen, didn't he introduce you to join our Tieshanmen?"

Fang Zhixing's mind was moved.

When Lu Anfu mentioned Cheng Tianen, his voice became noticeably sharper.

In this respect, he is very similar to Wang Yitong.

After a moment of silence, Fang Zhixing decided to take a gamble and sighed, "To be honest, I had a conflict with some refugees and killed several who tried to rob me. After Cheng Tianen heard about it, he concluded that I had bad intentions and drove me out."

He spread his hands and said, "Alas, I had nowhere else to go. Fortunately, the village head Luo Kexian appreciated me and accepted me as his personal bodyguard. Therefore, Cheng Tianen and I have not been in contact with each other for a long time."

After hearing this, Lu Anfu's eyes lit up inexplicably, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he laughed: "This is very much like Cheng Tianen's style."

Ding Zhigang did not comment and asked, "Where is Guo Dingshan?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "I shot him with an arrow, and when he was dodging the arrow, he lost his footing and fell off the cliff and into the Qingshui River."

Ding Zhigang's face changed and he asked, "Are you sure he's dead?"

Fang Zhixing said, "My arrow hit his chest. He was only half dead before he fell off the cliff. He was most likely dead."

Ding Zhigang understood, and stood up and said, "Come on, take us to see where the incident happened."

Only then will you know that there is nothing wrong with doing it.

The group walked out of Songlin Temple, passed through the woods, and came to the cliff.

It was daybreak, dew had condensed, the ground was sticky with blood, and headless corpses were scattered all over the place.

Ding Zhigang carefully inspected the scene and suddenly asked, "Were you alone when the incident happened?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "Besides me, there are two other people traveling with us. They are disciples of the Iron Mountain Sect and serve as guards on Qian Jiyun's merchant ship. Their names are Lin Ziguang and Ma Yongtang."

Lu Anfu quickly turned around and asked, "Where are they?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "Lin Ziguang was shot to death by arrows, and Ma Yongtang jumped off a cliff and escaped. His life or death is unknown."

"What, escape by jumping off a cliff?"

When Lu Anfu heard this, his face twitched and he was speechless for a while.

A disciple of Tieshan Sect, fleeing without a fight? Fang Zhixing observed Ma Yongtang's words and said, "Ma Yongtang is not afraid of death. He was forced to jump from this place. His courage is commendable."

Lu Anfu looked down at the cliff and said nothing.

After a while, they returned to Songlin Temple.

On the way, Fang Zhixing asked, "My two lords, do you know what the current situation of the village chief Luo Kexun is like?"

Ding Zhigang said calmly: "Missing, still looking for him."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

Before I knew it, it was already noon.

Accompanied by the sounds of gongs and drums, a group of people marched towards Songlin Temple in a mighty manner.

Master Yunchen and a group of monks lined up to greet them with solemn expressions.

Ding Zhigang, Lu Anfu, and Fang Zhixing also walked out together, stood in a row, and greeted the county magistrate Luo Peiyun.

From afar, Luo Peiyun was riding in an exquisite and luxurious carriage, surrounded by two hundred guards, one hundred strong yamen runners, and one hundred sturdy disciples of Tieshan Sect.

The carriage slowly stopped and Luo Peiyun got out.

"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate!" Everyone saluted in unison.

"No need to be so polite." Luo Peiyun smiled and raised his hand.

Then, Ding Zhigang walked to Luo Peiyun and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, Luo Peiyun glanced in Fang Zhixing's direction.

Afterwards, he swaggered into Songlin Temple and went through the process of burning incense and praying amid the monks' chanting and beating of wooden fish.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Fang Zhixing, the county magistrate wants to see you." Ding Zhigang waved his hand.

Fang Zhixing immediately stepped forward, bowed again, bowed his head and said, "I, Fang Zhixing, greet the county magistrate."

Luo Peiyun stood on the steps, looking down at Fang Zhixing, raised his eyebrows and said, "Fang Zhixing, right? How old are you this year?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "Eighteen, almost nineteen."

"Well, heroes emerge from youth!"

Luo Peiyun sighed and said with a smile: "Do you have parents or relatives at home?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and replied, "No, both my parents are dead, and I am the only one left."

Luo Peiyun understood and nodded, saying, "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. You have done a great job in killing the pirates and reporting the crime, so you deserve a reward!"

Fang Zhixing said: "I don't ask for rewards, I just ask you to give me a chance to work for you."

Luo Peiyun laughed and said playfully: "Oh, you really know how to judge the situation."

Fang Zhixing shouted solemnly: "Although I am not talented, I am loyal and willing to serve the court and be loyal to you. Please understand me."

“Hahaha, funny!”

Luo Peiyun raised his head and laughed, nodding repeatedly, "What realm are you in now? Do you have any special abilities?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "Iron Mountain Kungfu is at the Great Python level, and he is also proficient in archery!"

Luo Peiyun said "oh".

Ding Zhigang reminded: "Those pirates were all shot to death by arrows without exception."

Luo Peiyun suddenly realized and tilted his head and said, "Someone, bring me my ebony bow."

Soon, a yamen runner tremblingly took out a black longbow and raised it above his head.

Luo Peiyun said: "Fang Zhixing, do you see the wooden man at the end of the yard? If you can shoot its head with an arrow, I will give you a chance to rise to prominence."

Fang Zhixing took the ebony bow, glanced at the wooden man a hundred meters away, and then drew the bow and shot an arrow.

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows! All in one go ! Whoosh , whoosh, whoosh! Three arrows flew across the yard, and the wooden man made a dull clanging sound.

Everyone's eyes fixed, and the sound of people gasping for air was heard in the world.

I saw that the three arrows all hit the center of the wooden man's eyebrows.

Moreover, all three arrows pierced through the head of the wooden man! (End of this chapter)
