Tang Zheng once again stepped into the courtyard house that represented power, and many auras in the dark firmly locked onto him. It was clear that his actions this time had caused the officials to be even more fearful.
He walked in casually, but this time he did not go to the study. Instead, he went to the living room. Even Number Two did not leave. He stood respectfully behind the Bureau Chief.
As for those auras in the dark, they did not disappear. They were obviously guarding against him.
His actions had completely exceeded the control of the government. They had to be on guard.
The Bureau Chief's face was gloomy, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the sky. He looked at Tang Zheng sternly and said: "You really can't stop for even a day. This time, even the Song and Chu Families have fallen in your hands."
The other party went straight to the point. Tang Zheng did not beat around the bush and said directly, "The Bureau Chief is very observant. Naturally, you know what happened this time. I am at home. These people came to kill me. I can't just stretch my neck and ask them to do it, right?"
"Humph, didn't you promise me that you will not stir up trouble in Beijing?" The Bureau Chief questioned.
Tang Zheng said calmly, "I didn't stir up trouble. I had no choice."
"Whatever you say makes sense."
"Whether it makes sense or not, the Bureau Chief will judge. Moreover, the biggest beneficiary of this incident is the country, isn't it?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.
The Bureau Chief was stunned and fell silent. This sentence hit the nail on the head. Although the Bureau Chief was very angry with Tang Zheng's actions, he also understood that this was very beneficial to the country.
They had long wanted to deal with the big families. However, the government could not act without restraint. Because of this, they did not dare to take action.
"I did what the country could not do. I am a meritorious person." Tang Zheng joked.
The Bureau Chief snorted and said, "Meritorious person? Humph, do you know how serious the consequences are? "
"Is it really that serious? I believe that the country will definitely find a way to calm the situation and maximize its own benefits. "Tang Zheng went straight to the point. Every sentence hit the nail on the head, making the Bureau Chief very passive.
The Bureau Chief understood that he had seen everything clearly, so he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to. Although his words were full of arrogance, he wouldn't fly into a rage just because of that.
In fact, in retrospect, Tang Zheng's series of actions were not harmful to the country at all. Instead, he helped the country eliminate a threat.
However, he was free and undisciplined in his actions, which gave the chief a headache.
The chief wanted to use this opportunity to teach him a lesson so that he wouldn't cause any more trouble.
"You sure have a glib tongue. You make it sound so easy." The Bureau Chief still didn't give him a good look. "Not to mention the Song and Chu families, even the Sword God was defeated by you. Who exactly is that woman in white, and what is her relationship with you?"
This was the main point. There was a super expert like the white-clothed woman in the capital, which made him feel uneasy.
He also wanted to see the face of the heroine, but his subordinates kept dissuading him. Finally, he gave up the idea.
Even the Sword God wasn't a match for the white-clothed woman. If she was brought here, even if there were hidden experts protecting her, the Bureau Chief would still be in danger. Therefore, they couldn't let the Bureau Chief take the risk.
However, finding out the background of the white-clothed woman was a top priority. After all, there was such a powerful person hidden in the capital, which was a hidden danger.
Tang Zheng was very meticulous. Seeing the Bureau Chief take the initiative to mention the Empyrean Fairy, he understood his worries. However, the Empyrean Fairy's background was mysterious, and it was related to Qin Shi Huang. Of course, he couldn't tell the truth.
Therefore, he pondered for a moment and said, "This person's name is Fu Yao. I met her by accident. As for her background, she always kept it a secret, so I don't know."
Seeing him evade everything, how could the Bureau Chief easily believe him? His face darkened and said, "She lives in your house and helped you fight off the enemy. You say you don't know her background. Hehe, do you think you are lying to a three year old child?"
Tang Zheng's expression didn't change. He said unmoved, "I really don't know. As for why she lives in my house, maybe it's because we are both cultivators."
The Empyrean Fairy's identity as a cultivator wasn't a secret. Therefore, he admitted it without hesitation.
"You are not the only cultivator in this world. Why doesn't she live in someone else's house, but yours?" The Bureau Chief asked.
Tang Zheng shrugged, "I don't know about that."
Seeing that he wasn't afraid of boiling water, the Bureau Chief couldn't do anything. He couldn't force him. However, the Bureau Chief didn't give up and continued to ask, "What is her cultivation level?"
Tang Zheng sighed and said, "I really don't know." This was the truth. He also wanted to know the Empyrean Fairy's cultivation level. However, she didn't tell him. He couldn't do anything about it.
The Bureau Chief raised his thick eyebrows and said angrily, "You don't know anything. What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to live a quiet life."
The Bureau Chief was very dignified, but he couldn't oppress Tang Zheng. The Bureau Chief's breathing also became hurried. This time, he specially invited Tang Zheng here. Other than to beat him up, the most important reason was to find out more about the woman in white. Now, he only knew that she was called Fu Yao. He didn't know anything else.
This made him very depressed and angry.
However, facing Tang Zheng, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't vent it. He was like a ball of cotton. When he punched him, he was soft and didn't have any place to exert force.
The Bureau Chief stared at Tang Zheng. Seeing that his expression was as calm as a rock, he knew that he couldn't get anything out of him. Therefore, he changed the topic and said, "The Sword God was defeated. He definitely won't let this go. How are you going to deal with this?"
"I have to correct you. The Sword God wasn't defeated. He was seriously injured and will definitely die." Tang Zheng corrected him.
"What, the Sword God will definitely die?" The Bureau Chief's eyelids twitched. He held the armrest of the chair with both hands and almost stood up in shock.
Number Two was also shocked. He looked at Tang Zheng in disbelief.
However, looking at his calm and confident expression, it was obvious that he wasn't lying.
Tang Zheng had already expected their reaction. After all, the Sword God was famous, so he didn't think that he would die so easily. He lightly nodded his head: "Yes, this is Fu Yao's judgement. I believe in her judgement."
"She killed the Sword God so easily …" The Bureau Chief was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Tang Zheng nodded heavily. "The Bureau Chief should know that the Azure Dragon Palace is behind the Sword God. This is the target we need to guard against. The Azure Dragon Palace has always been mysterious."
"The Azure Dragon Palace." The Bureau Chief's eyes twitched. "Although the Azure Dragon Palace is mysterious, they abide by the rules, unlike you who always break the rules."
"Haha, does the Azure Dragon Palace really abide by the rules? I don't think so. " Tang Zheng smiled disapprovingly. "Since the country is so afraid of the big clans, isn't it worried about the Azure Dragon Palace?"
The Martial Arts Organization, Li Palace, and the Azure Dragon Palace were three big mysterious organizations. If they caused trouble, it would be extremely dangerous. They were the ones the country should be wary of. However, the country had always let them do as they pleased. This made Tang Zheng somewhat suspicious.
"You think the Azure Dragon Palace will come to the capital to avenge the Sword God?" The Bureau Chief asked.
"I can't rule out this possibility." Tang Zheng stared at the Bureau Chief with a burning gaze. "When that time comes, I'm afraid the world will really turn upside down."
If the Azure Dragon Palace came to avenge him, Tang Zheng would of course use all his skills and fight to the death. When that time comes, the battle wouldn't be as simple as this one.
The momentum would definitely be greater, and the range of influence would be wider. The shock and impact on the ordinary people would also be greater. Moreover, for something like this to happen in the capital, it wouldn't be a glorious thing for the country.
Tang Zheng made it clear in advance so that the government wouldn't think that it was all his fault.
"You don't have to worry about this. If the Azure Dragon Palace dares to come to the capital, then we naturally won't sit idly by." The Bureau Chief said solemnly.
Tang Zheng looked at him suspiciously. Could it be that the country had some method to deal with the Azure Dragon Palace? But even if he asked, the other party definitely wouldn't say it out loud. He simply didn't ask and said, "That's for the best."
As long as the Azure Dragon Palace didn't come to the capital, then the woman by his side would at least be safe.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave." Tang Zheng said.
The Bureau Chief looked at him sternly and said, "Calm down. If you continue to cause trouble, hmph, it won't be so easy to get away with it."
Tang Zheng understood that if it wasn't for the fact that the country could profit from this and didn't harm the government's interests, it wouldn't be so easy for Tang Zheng to escape so easily.
In short, Tang Zheng's actions didn't touch the country's bottom line. In fact, the country even profited from it.
This was the reason why the balance between the two sides wasn't broken.
Number Two sent Tang Zheng away. The Bureau Chief returned to the study. There was a person sitting lazily on the chair, wearing a mask — the Lord of the Azure Dragon Palace.
He was actually also in the capital.
If Tang Zheng knew, he would definitely be very surprised and even afraid. If the Lord of the Azure Dragon Palace had participated in this battle, the outcome would have been uncertain.
The Bureau Chief looked at the Lord with shining eyes and said, "The Sword God is already dead."
The Lord's eyes flickered slightly, but he said calmly, "The Sword God was only one step away from the Martial King realm, but he stopped here. What a pity."
"Aren't you surprised and angry?" The Bureau Chief asked curiously.
The Lord said indifferently, "I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect that without Tian Chanzi by his side, Tang Zheng would have the help of a woman in white. I'm afraid he didn't tell you who she was, right? "
"You guessed correctly. He's tight-lipped. It's not easy to get information from him." The Bureau Chief paused. "But why didn't you make a move this time?"
"How can a mere Song family be worthy of me making a move? Moreover, this time was also out of my expectations. "
"Haha, there are times when you make a mistake," the Bureau Chief said with interest. "You lost such a great general. What are you going to do?"
The Lord smiled meaningfully and didn't answer.
"No matter what your reaction is, the capital is the center of the country. The eyes of the whole world are watching here. There can't be a big mess, understand?" the Bureau Chief said in a deep voice.
The Lord looked at him deeply and said, "You want me to wait for Tang Zheng to leave the capital before killing him?"
