Gao Han turned his head and found that the voice came from Zhongli Tingzhou, who was lying on the sofa with a lazy look.
Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at the communicator and sat up lazily.
Turning on the communicator, the majestic appearance of Patriarch Zhongli appeared on the floor-mounted holographic screen, as if the entire person was standing in front of him.
"What's with the video on the Internet? Have you been tricked?" The head of the Zhongli family frowned, and the majestic aura between his brows became even stronger.
But it is useless to Zhongli Tingzhou.
Gao Han came over, "Master Zhongli..."
Zhongli Tingzhou interrupted him, "Call me brother."
Patriarch Zhongli also agreed and said, "Call me Big Brother. It sounds better."
Gao Han: “…Brother.”
"Okay." Patriarch Zhongli nodded with a smile, and the next second, his expression became serious again, "What's going on?"
Gao Han helped Zhong Li Tingzhou explain, "She is Chen Jiaqing's sister. I suspect that the Yuan family arranged for her to go to Penglai. This is the first move of the Yuan family. There should be other means in the future."
"With Yuan Zhengshan's ability, he won't stop there. The reason he's so anxious is also related to the Yuan family being summoned by the Elders' Council. Yuan Zhengshan can't wait any longer." The head of the Zhongli family said thoughtfully.
"Council of Elders?" It was the first time that Gao Han heard such a new word.
Zhongli Tingzhou said lazily on the side, "It is the highest decision-making body of the Chinese government. There are no ordinary humans, and they are all composed of spirit cultivators."
Patriarch Zhongli said, "Yes, the Yuan family made a big mistake in City No. 2 this time, and the Sima family lost a top-class warrior because of this. They will not let the Yuan family go, which is why they pushed for this summons."
"If the Yuan family cannot give a satisfactory answer, the Elders Council will definitely impose sanctions on the Yuan family in order to appease the anger of the Sima family."
"Then what benefit will it bring to the Yuan family if they make a big fuss about Zhongli Tingzhou?" Gao Han asked.
"The matter of Tingzhou will inevitably distract the Zhongli family. The one who wants the Yuan family to be sanctioned the most is definitely the Zhongli family. The Yuan family does not want to give the Zhongli family the opportunity to stand on the same front with the Sima family to deal with them."
There are many complex relationships and various interests involved here, which cannot be explained clearly in a short time.
Gao Han did not continue to ask, as asking further would involve more things. "Since the incident has become so serious, will Tingzhou be in trouble?"
The head of the Zhongli family sneered, "With the Zhongli family here, they won't be able to touch Tingzhou at all. However, before the investigation is thorough, Tingzhou will have to pay a price."
Gao Han's heart tightened, "What's the price?"
Patriarch Zhongli saw his expression change and smiled instead, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, he's just restricted in his freedom and under investigation. With the old man here, they dare not do anything to Tingzhou. Even if they take him away, they will treat him like a Buddha."
"Do I have to be taken away for investigation?"
"We have to take him away. Before the incident became a minor issue, we could still negotiate, but now it has become such a big issue, the government can do nothing about it. We have to make a gesture first, for everyone to see."
Speaking of this, the face of the head of the Zhongli family became more serious.
"The main disaster area is ready to make a move, and a bigger disaster may break out at any time. If the people are not appeased, once the disaster breaks out, it will be guided by people with ulterior motives and trigger a chain reaction. The worst case scenario is that China may fall into chaos."
Gao Han had already thought of it. For example, the evil spirit was a potential threat.
"The best thing to do now is to find evidence as soon as possible to prove Tingzhou's innocence." Patriarch Zhongli said again.
"Don't worry about this. I have already asked someone to investigate and now we have some clues. Just leave this matter to me and you can just focus on dealing with the Yuan family." Gao Han said immediately.
Patriarch Zhongli raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was also investigating, but he didn't know as much as Gao Han because Zhongli Tingzhou didn't tell him part of what happened. The information he got was limited. "Are you sure?"
"Of course, the biggest commotion right now is between Chen Jiaqing and Wang He. I already have evidence on Chen Jiaqing's side, and now I'm just waiting for Wang He's case."
The two were the most representative "victims" of the Demon King incident. If it could be proven that they were killed by Zhongli Tingzhou because of their evil deeds, then there would be no problem with the others.
For no reason, Zhongli Tingzhou would not have nothing better to do than to kill those small characters.
Patriarch Zhongli had not expected that he was so prepared. He looked at him with increasing admiration, “Then I will leave Tingzhou's affairs to you.”
"Don't worry, big brother. I won't let the Yuan family take advantage of me." Gao Han promised, then paused and said, "But there is something I need your help with."
"you say."
"Wang He supported many people in the past and left a lot of information and data. I would like to trouble you to help check it out..."
The more the Zhongli family head listened, the more satisfied he became. Before hanging up the video, he said to Zhongli Tingzhou, "You have a good eye."
"Of course, it doesn't matter who finds it." Zhongli Tingzhou raised the corner of his mouth.
The head of the Zhongli family was very pleased. He didn't care what Gao Han thought and just hung up.
"How is it, our little brother? The person you like is good, right? Can you rest assured now?"
The head of the Zhongli family put away the communicator and looked at his second brother Zhongli Yunfeng, who had remained silent, with a smile.
"Not bad." General Zhongli said stubbornly. In fact, he had already accepted Gao Han in his heart. It was just that his beloved brother was suddenly taken away by another man. He felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't accept it for a while.
"If you think it's okay, then take another look at this information." The head of the Zhongli family threw Gao Han's investigation materials in front of him.
This information was obtained when we first learned of Gao Han's existence.
In a big family like theirs, everyone who is close to their family members must go through such an investigation.
General Zhongli picked up the document and glanced at it once or twice, then he finished reading the entire content. His body instantly tensed up even more.
"Except for not being able to have children, Gao Han is not inferior to Tingzhou in every aspect. If he is just okay, I'm afraid no one in the world is worthy of Tingzhou. There is one more thing you have to admit."
General Zhongli had to admit that Gao Han's information was extremely incredible. He said irritably, "Anything else? Tell me all at once."
"Gao Han is the only one who can make Tingzhou change. He thought we didn't know and never confessed to us, but he told Gao Han." Thinking of this, the head of the Zhongli family was also full of emotion. "Once upon a time, we were all worried that Tingzhou would always be like that. Now there is someone who can make him change. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Brother, you don't have to keep emphasizing it. I'm not the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong, or urgency from urgency." General Zhongli let out a breath. Of course he would accept anything that was good for his brother.
Patriarch Zhongli stood up and patted his shoulder, "There should be a limit to brother control."
General Zhongli's face suddenly turned black.
The head of the Zhongli family laughed and walked out.
…
Things were just as the head of the Zhongli family said, as the news of Zhongli Tingzhou's "indiscriminate killing of innocent people" spread more and more widely.
Chen Jiaqing's former classmates stood up again when public opinion was not as strong as it was at the beginning, and jointly requested the government to investigate Zhongli Tingzhou and to give justice to the innocent people killed by Zhongli Tingzhou.
The government has to face up to this problem, but they don't really want to get involved in it.
Some time ago, old man Zhongli was fighting to protect humanity in City No. 1. Before he could even claim credit for his contributions, they were already punishing his most beloved youngest son in the imperial capital.
This kind of behavior not only chilled the heart of Old Man Zhongli, but also the hearts of other soldiers defending the city.
But if nothing is done, people will lose confidence in the government, which is not what they want to see. There is no other way but to step in first, stabilize one side, and then solve the problem.
Not long after, the people from the Spirit Refiners Association were ordered to find Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou again.
As if they were afraid that Zhongli Tingzhou would resist, the Spirit Refiners Association sent the strongest man in Genshan, President Yu, and Vice President Zhang also came.
Of course Vice President Zhang had to come. The bald man he sent was killed by Gao Han, and even Li Jun was missing.
Although his body has never been found and no one saw how he disappeared, his intuition told him that it must be related to Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou.
This time he came here with the purpose of asking for an explanation.
Of course, based on his understanding of Zhongli Tingzhou, he may not surrender this time, and then will be his chance.
"Nice to meet you again." President Yu said to Gao Han with a smile. He didn't seem like he was looking for trouble at all. His attitude was gentle and friendly.
Gao Han nodded slightly, glanced at Vice President Zhang, and said, "President Yu, are you here to see Tingzhou?"
President Yu did not beat around the bush. "That's true. We are just following orders. I hope you two will give us some face. Until the matter is resolved, we will not be able to live in peace. Don't you think so?"
Gao Han had a good impression of President Yu and was willing to give him this face, even though he had already discussed it with the head of the Zhongli family.
"What do you say?" Gao Han looked at Zhongli Tingzhou. He was willing to give face to President Yu, but he would not take the initiative to ask Zhongli Tingzhou to go with them.
Zhongli Tingzhou's powerful aura did not subside even though there were two first-class strong men standing in front of him. On the contrary, he burst out with even more powerful momentum, and his target was Vice President Zhang.
President Yu obviously felt it, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, thinking it was just a previous grudge.
Vice President Zhang's face turned red, he was angry.
"It's not impossible for me to go with you, but I have a condition." Zhongli Tingzhou raised the corners of his mouth arrogantly and said lazily.
President Yu asked, "What are the conditions?"
"I hope that your association will give an explanation for the matter of Vice President Zhang sending Li Jun and a bald man to assassinate Gao Han." Zhongli Tingzhou stared at Vice President Zhang with gloomy and cold eyes.
President Yu immediately looked at Vice President Zhang with a cold gaze, "What's going on? Did you send Li Jun to assassinate Gao Han?"
Vice President Zhang gritted his teeth. He originally wanted to take the initiative to deal with Li Jun, but he didn't expect that Zhongli Tingzhou would get there first. He immediately lost the initiative and had to explain: "President, you can't conclude that it was me based on his one-sided statement. Whatever Li Jun wants to do is his personal behavior."
Although President Yu was not clear about what happened, he had already figured out something was wrong since Li Jun had been missing recently.
Vice President Zhang said that it was not him who did it, and the possibility was very low, but the result would most likely be a loss.
"Don't worry, I will thoroughly investigate this matter of Li Jun and give you a satisfactory answer." President Yu promised Zhongli Tingzhou and Gao Han.
He decided to ask someone to investigate what Li Jun had done when he got back. He had been annoyed with Vice President Zhang for a long time.
If it were peacetime, he could ignore it, but when humanity is facing the threat of the main disaster area, he is still thinking about intrigue all day long, which is intolerable.
"I hope President Yu will keep his word." Zhongli Tingzhou said meaningfully, then walked away with his head held high.
Gao Han almost wanted to pull him back, but then he realized that the head of the Zhongli family would never lie to him.
"Be careful."
When he reached the door, he couldn't help but give another reminder.
Zhongli Tingzhou waved at him from behind his back, looking cool and confident.
Vice President Zhang followed behind with a gloomy face, staring at his back with flickering eyes.
With another enemy plotting behind his back, Gao Han realized that he had to speed up.
On the afternoon of the day Zhongli Tingzhou was taken away, he also dragged Fugui away and left the school. Based on the information and address given by his aunt, he found the mercenary market.
The mercenary market is not in the imperial capital. The threshold of the mercenary world is low, and there are people from all walks of life. They are active under the nose of the imperial capital, just like bandits wandering under the feet of the emperor, so the market is set up on the edge of the imperial capital.
Gao Han flew over and arrived in less than half an hour.
Unlike some serious circles in the capital, the air here is fishy, but the atmosphere is more lively, and the bustling streets are like an ordinary vegetable market.
At the entrance of the street, he met the person arranged for him by Yuan Yuxian, a young man in his twenties, whose eyes were rolling around as if he was looking for someone.
When the young man noticed Gao Han approaching, his eyes lit up like light bulbs.
“Are you the savior?”
Hearing this code name full of middle school vibe, Gao Han's mouth twitched slightly. He rejected it in his heart, but Yuan Yuxian didn't give him a chance to protest.
