Jiao Kaicheng heard Zhang Shaoqi's question.
There was a moment of silence.
He said calmly: "As a prefect of a county, how can I kill a meritorious subordinate unless he has committed a serious crime?"
The meaning is obvious.
It's okay to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
But he won't do it himself.
Zhang Shaoqi smiled, turned around and left.
But in my heart I was extremely disdainful.
This person named Jiao is stupid, greedy, cowardly, and self-righteous, so it is difficult for him to become a great person.
If he hadn't had a good cultivation level and was sitting in the position of prefect, he wouldn't have said a word to him.
But it’s okay, this kind of person is easy to handle.
It's much easier to deal with than Xia Xueyi.
It took a lot of effort to deal with Xia Xueyi.
Zhang Shaoqi left the prefect's mansion in a swaggering manner.
There were so many people at the gate of the prefect's mansion, but they all turned a blind eye to him, like a transparent person.
This made him quite proud.
Until I saw the wanted poster posted on the street opposite.
snort!
Xu Taiping!
Let’s see how long you can be proud of!
Thinking of Xu Taiping, Zhang Shaoqi could no longer keep calm and cursed through gritted teeth.
a long time.
Wave.
Immediately, a close guard approached and whispered: "Third Master."
Zhang Shaoqi pointed to the wanted order: "Tear off all those things."
The confidant nodded quickly, but then said: "Third Master, the housekeeper just sent a message saying that there is important information."
As he spoke, he handed over a letter.
Zhang Shaoqi opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper.
There was a simple map drawn on the paper, with four locations marked on the map.
The map is very simple, like the scribblings of a three-year-old child.
But Zhang Shaoqi only glanced at it and felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
My head is buzzing.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Xu Taiping has only been in Yingyin County for about ten days, how could he possibly find out the top secret information about my Zhang family.
This information is top secret within the Zhang family, and only a few people know it.
Now, fewer people know better.
Why can Xu Taiping find out?
Grass!
Damn little bastard!
Zhang Shaoqi was angry and scared.
Looking around, I felt that everyone around me might be Xu Taiping's spy.
Thinking of this, he turned around and left.
After going around in a circle, he went straight to another hiding place.
He also asked his trusted guards to send a message to the housekeeper to change the contact location to avoid those four hiding places.
snort.
The Zhang family has been operating in Yingyin County for thousands of years, how can it only leave four escape routes?
There are plenty of them.
Just look for it slowly.
I'm in Yingyin City, waiting for the good news that your little bastard was beheaded by Qiyun Village.
at the same time.
Xu Taiping left the police squad.
Be invisible and change your appearance to avoid possible tracking and surveillance, and go straight to the Zhang family's fifth hiding place.
The map given by Zhang Changan only had five hiding spots.
There were four groups of detectives, each one responsible for one. The purpose was to frighten the enemy and drive Zhang Shaoqi to his fifth hiding spot.
Zhang Shaoqi.
Don't let me down.
Xu Taiping rushed to the first hiding spot.
Um?
Quite an ordinary yard?
Don't quite believe it.
Fierce eyes and golden eyes.
As soon as his sharp eyes were opened, the courtyard in front of him suddenly showed its original shape, transforming from an ordinary small courtyard of ordinary people into an exquisite and compact mansion of a wealthy man.
Formation!
Unfortunately, I have a sharp eye.
Xu Taiping sneered, observed from a distance for a moment, found the most suitable place to hide, and quietly waited for Zhang Shaoqi to show up.
Tired of waiting.
He even turned on automatic cultivation.
Being idle is also idle.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly became energetic and stared at the middle-aged man walking from a distance.
That person passed by for the second time!
The first time I passed by, I only glanced at the gate, like a passerby.
But this time the speed was obviously slower, and the gate was watched longer and more carefully.
Could it be Zhang Shaoqi?
Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes, braced himself, watched the middle-aged man leave, suppressed the urge to go out immediately, and waited patiently.
If it were Zhang Shaoqi, he would definitely pass by or even enter for the third time.
If it weren't for Zhang Shaoqi, there wouldn't be much point in catching him.
I said, kill Zhang Shaoqi first, and I will do what I said.
Kill Zhang Shaoqi, and then overthrow Qiyun Village.
After killing these two, the remaining bad guys in Yingyin County will not dare to move around for the time being.
I'll pick up the rest once I've really found my feet.
snort.
Want to cause trouble in Yingyin County?
welcome.
But I can only do things under my control and give me tasks and rewards.
Xu Taiping waited patiently.
really.
The middle-aged man passed by at a slower pace for the third time, and lingered at the door for a while. When no one was around, he quickly walked to the door and muttered something.
The door opens automatically.
The middle-aged man quickly stepped in.
The door quickly closed again.
Everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping strolled over like a passer-by, and walked directly to the door without lingering. He stretched out his right hand and placed it on the door panel that looked like an ordinary piece of wood.
Bamboo book.
Crack.
In the bamboo book, the yellow aura surged out along Xu Taiping's arms and spread silently on the door panel. The spreading lines were like complex circuit diagrams, layered on top of each other, and soon covered the entire door and extended. to the walls on both sides.
Like tentacles.
Also like electric current.
After a few breaths, the yellow aura covered the entire yard.
Cracked successfully.
The yellow aura retracted into the bamboo book like an electric shock.
The color is more intense than before.
The small courtyard that originally looked ordinary suddenly revealed its true colors.
It was silent, yet extremely shocking.
The simple and even shabby wooden door panels were transformed into extremely expensive seven-grade black iron wood door panels.
The rusty iron door knocker turned into a golden alluvial gold door knocker.
The old brick walls turned into spotless white walls with blue tiles and stained glass windows.
Even the ordinary bluestone threshold has turned into an azure color that is extremely high-grade and valuable at first glance.
But at this moment, no one noticed this scene.
Xu Taiping pushed the door open and entered.
Put your hands behind your back.
As he walked, he looked at it curiously.
And secretly admired it.
It is worthy of being a hiding place built by a wealthy family for thousands of years. Every brick and tile here is no worse than a house. Although the area is small, it is still valuable.
Almost all the furnishings in the yard are made of natural materials and treasures.
The flowers, plants and trees are all precious species that you can’t afford to play with at first glance.
At this time.
Zhang Shaoqi, who had just entered the door, heard the movement and immediately observed quietly and alertly.
Um?
do not know!
Wait, how did he get in?
The courtyard itself is a mysterious seven-illusion array, which can create illusions to hide people's ears and eyes, and has the functions of warning, trapping and even killing enemies.
Without a password, anyone trying to break in will be alerted.
But there was no response just now.
So, who is this person?
Zhang Shaoqi calmly took two steps back, patted the old servant beside him who had drawn his sword, made a gesture of cutting his throat, and slowly backed away, hiding in the dark.
The old servant adjusted his expression to look sad.
He put away the knife again, bent down, raised his body, pushed open the door, put his head on the door frame with one hand, and asked in a feeble voice: "Who are you looking for?"
When Xu Taiping heard the sound, he looked up and down at the old servant in front of him who seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and said with a smile: "Look for your master."
When the old servant heard this, he looked dazed and murmured: "My master has not been back for decades. This house and the old man are very old. I don't know if I can see my master again in my lifetime. I wonder if anyone can." Found here."
At this point, he tried his best to open his cloudy eyes and stared at Xu Taiping, and asked with difficulty: "Hunter, what is your relationship with my master?"
