Tang Zheng walked over, nodded slightly, and said, "Bureau Chief, please come in."
The Bureau Chief smiled at Tang Zheng, and there seemed to be less arrogance between his brows than before. He looked up at the house and said, "Your house is really not bad."
"Thank you."
The Bureau Chief nodded at everyone again. "Hello everyone."
Other than Empyrean Fairy and Li Xiaotian, everyone else stood up to respond.
These two people knew each other, but they didn't think much of each other. After all, Empyrean Fairy had even seen Qin Shi Huang, other high officials were no different from ordinary people to him.
Li Xiaotian had lost his memory and didn't recognize him at all. He even stared at him curiously.
"Everyone, sit down. Don't be so reserved. I'm just here to visit everyone." The Bureau Chief said in an amiable and dignified manner.
Tang Zheng was calm and composed. He gestured to everyone, and everyone sat down.
After all, they were born and grew up here, so they subconsciously respected the Bureau Chief.
Tang Zheng had seen it too many times, so he didn't feel anything.
Seeing Number One following behind the Bureau Chief, Tang Zheng knew that they weren't just here to take a look. They had a purpose, so he went straight to the point and said, "Let's go in and talk."
▼.
The Bureau Chief nodded in understanding.
The two entered the study. Number One stayed behind to guard the door, as if he didn't want anyone to come close.
Everyone looked curiously at the tightly shut door and started to murmur curiously.
"Why is he looking for Tang Zheng?"
"Maybe he's here to win over Tang Zheng?"
"No, it must be related to what happened last night. It was such a big commotion."
"Then will Tang Zheng be in danger?"
Everyone's hearts tightened as they looked at each other.
Ye Dingdang gritted her teeth and said fearlessly, "If he really dares to do anything to Tang Zheng, I won't let it go."
"Me too!" Fang Shishi hurriedly said as she shared a common enemy.
Liu Qingmei said 'me too' in her heart, but she didn't say anything.
A bright light flashed in Wu's eyes. Although he did not say a word, his attitude was already very clear.
Princess Anne didn't find it strange and said, "It's not as dangerous as you say. In Europe, it's common for the King's Royal Family to win over the elites. Besides, Tang Zheng isn't just an elite. He wouldn't dare to easily deal with Tang Zheng."
After all, Princess Anne was experienced and knowledgeable.
The Empyrean Fairy looked at her approvingly. Although Princess Anne's cultivation was the weakest among them, there was no doubt that she was more knowledgeable than the others.
"Tang Zheng has been letting her stay at home. Could it be that he's interested in her too? He's really flirtatious."
The Empyrean Fairy secretly shook her head. Men were indeed jackals of the same tribe. Since ancient times, no matter if they were emperors, generals, ministers, or commoners, they were all the same.
Seeing that the others were skeptical of Anne's words, the Empyrean Fairy said lightly, "Don't worry, she's right."
The Empyrean Fairy's prestige was naturally not comparable to the others. Hearing her say this, everyone's worried hearts were relieved. They asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course!"
Everyone was grinning from ear to ear as they looked at the door, trying to guess what was going on inside.
Tang Zheng poured a cup of water for the Bureau Chief and sat down facing him. He asked, "Bureau Chief, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
He had already guessed it. It was probably the matter of the Five Clawed Golden Dragon. He was just asking the obvious.
"Last night, thanks to your help, we were able to defeat the Hundred Change Star Lord and kill that Yamata no Orochi. I'm here to thank you." The Bureau Chief said.
"These people are my enemies. Moreover, their arrival threatened the safety of commoners. Naturally, I can't shirk my responsibility."
"I'm very gratified that you can think this way. There's a saying that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. For you to be able to bravely take on this heavy responsibility, I would like to sincerely thank you on behalf of the commoners in the capital." The Bureau Chief's face was solemn as he said sincerely.
"Bureau Chief, you flatter me." Tang Zheng said modestly and took a sip of water. Since the other party didn't reveal his true intentions, he was happy to play dumb.
The Bureau Chief pondered for a while and looked at Tang Zheng thoughtfully. Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, it seemed that he had to bring up this matter himself.
Helpless, he could only say, "Tang Zheng, about the dragon, do you have anything to tell me?"
Tang Zheng stared at him. Their eyes met, and he said without hesitation, "There's nothing to say."
The Bureau Chief raised his thick eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Tang Zheng to reject him so directly. This almost blocked his next question.
But since he took the initiative to come here, it was impossible for him to leave after hearing this answer. Thus, after pondering for a while, he asked, "The dragon really exists. That dragon's roar can't be faked. Moreover, the Hundred Change Star Lord and Yamata no Orochi came for it. Your words don't seem to be convincing."
Tang Zheng was still unmoved and said, "Did anyone see it?"
"No! But that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. All kinds of evidence have shown that the dragon exists. It's useless for you to deny it. "The Bureau Chief's voice rose a few notches. He seemed to be a little agitated.
Tang Zheng was still as calm as an ancient well. Without batting an eyelid, he said, "Since you already believe in its existence, isn't it superfluous to ask this question again?"
In this world, only Tang Zheng dared to say that the Bureau Chief's words were superfluous.
The Bureau Chief wasn't angry. Even if he was, it would be useless. Moreover, he was more than that.
Instead, he curled up the corners of his mouth and said, "Are you worried about something? The dragon is the totem of the Hua Xia people. If we really find the dragon, it will be of great help to boost the spirit of our people. "
"I have nothing to worry about. The dragon isn't something that you can control or even control."
"I think you've misunderstood. We have never meant to control the dragon. We don't even dare to think about it." The Bureau Chief denied.
However, Tang Zheng didn't think so. The words of these superiors couldn't be completely trusted. Moreover, from Number One's grand actions and his drive to dig three feet into the ground, it could be seen how much importance he attached to the dragon.
Moreover, the dragon was a huge temptation. It evoked people's most primitive instincts. For the superiors, the most primitive instinct was to consolidate their position.
To many people, the dream of lasting generations was a castle in the air. However, if there was a dragon, then it might really be possible to achieve it.
Tang Zheng could imagine how great of a temptation this was.
"Since you don't mean to do that, then there's even less need to see the dragon. Moreover, if the dragon really appears in the eyes of the world, I'm sure you know better than I do how much panic it will cause. "
"No, you're wrong about that. We are the descendants of the dragon. If the dragon really appears, then our faith will have a true sustenance. This is a good thing and won't cause panic. "The Bureau Chief said solemnly.
Regarding this, Tang Zheng was skeptical. The other party wanted to use all kinds of seemingly high-sounding reasons to convince Tang Zheng.
Unfortunately, Tang Zheng didn't buy it.
Seeing that Tang Zheng was stubborn, the Bureau Chief frowned even more. He gradually looked at Tang Zheng aggressively and said, "You want to monopolize the dragon?"
Tang Zheng thought for a while and decided to admit it openly. Otherwise, the other party would definitely keep pestering him.
"I already monopolized it." “
"What?"
The Bureau Chief turned pale with fright and stood up with a whoosh. He looked down at Tang Zheng with a condescending gaze.
At this moment, the aura that he tried so hard to hide was finally completely released. However, the aura of a superior was completely ineffective against Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng was still unfazed. He looked into the Bureau Chief's eyes and said, "You've heard it clearly."
"Monopolize the dragon?" What do you want to do? The dragon is Hua Xia's spiritual totem. Do you know what this means? "The Bureau Chief questioned.
"I only know that if it's in my hands, it won't cause a disaster to this world."
The Bureau Chief was skeptical. "We are the descendants of the dragon. Why would the appearance of the dragon bring a disaster to us?"
"That's because it was imprisoned by humans back then. That's why it hates humans so much. Do you think it'll be grateful to humans or take revenge after it escapes?"
"This …" The Bureau Chief was speechless for a moment. Because, this was beyond his knowledge.
He didn't know that the dragon was imprisoned by humans. He subconsciously thought that the dragon was very close to humans.
That was why he was so confident that he could control the dragon and use it for himself.
Looking at his changing expression, Tang Zheng's head moved. He suddenly thought of a plan and asked coldly, "Are you related to the Great Lord?"
"Yes … Ah … What did you say?" The Bureau Chief's mind was completely immersed in the world of the dragon. He didn't expect Tang Zheng to throw this question out of the blue.
His subconscious answer immediately exposed the truth. Although he immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly tried to remedy it, it was still too late.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed. This was just a guess in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be able to trick the Bureau Chief into revealing the truth.
At that moment, the shock in his heart could be imagined. The Bureau Chief was actually related to the Great Lord. Was it him or the government that was related to the Great Lord?
How deep was this relationship?
No wonder he rejected the idea when he mentioned the Azure Dragon Palace. It turned out that they were together.
He had been fooled for so long and had been kept in the dark for so long.
A strong sense of vigilance surged in his heart. However, because the other party had a close relationship with the Azure Dragon Palace, he definitely knew a lot about the Azure Dragon Palace. Let's see if we can trick him again.
The Bureau Chief was confused by Tang Zheng's question. Only then did he realize the big problem. He frowned and stared at Tang Zheng. With an unfriendly expression, he said, "Are you tricking me?"
Tang Zheng said with a fake smile, "I just don't want to be kept in the dark."
"Then, have you always been telling the truth? When I asked you about the dragon, you should remember how you answered me, right? "The Bureau Chief asked back.
Of course, Tang Zheng remembered. They didn't open up their hearts to each other. They were wary of each other and tried to cheat each other.
No one could blame the other because their positions and interests were different.
Tang Zheng wasn't a saint. Of course, he wouldn't stand on the moral high ground and criticize anyone.
