Looking at Zhang Zhongye's luxurious mansion, Su Xin could not help but shake his head and smile. "Director Zhang really knew how to enjoy life when he was alive."
Zhang Xianting laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer.
If he agreed with Su Xin now, he would be suspected of slandering his old master and hitting him when he was down. Therefore, Zhang Xianting could only laugh dryly and did not answer.
In fact, before Su Xin came, he had asked for information about Zhang Zhongye from a spy, so he had a general understanding of his character.
Zhang Zhongye was more than 150 years old. For a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm, if he still did not make any progress at this age, he would enter a stage of decline.
Originally, Zhang Zhongye should have directly retired, but he was a veteran of the military, and he was unwilling to let go of his power, so he used his connections to be transferred to the Northwest to be the Chief of the Army. In any case, it was just a title.
Over the past few years, Zhang Zhongye had hardly been in charge of anything. He was only active in the cities around Flying Dragon City controlled by the Zhou Kingdom. He did not provoke the northwestern foreign tribes and only cared about enjoying himself.
In Su Xin's opinion, Zhang Zhongye had lost his spirit as a warrior. It was more like calling him a stupid insect.
However, everyone knew that this position was for him to enjoy in retirement. If a young warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm were to take up the position, he might not have been willing to do so. Therefore, even if the military knew about Zhang Zhongye's character, no one would care about him.
However, the only thing that Su Xin found strange was that such a useless man who only cared about enjoying himself did not threaten the interests of some people. Who killed him?
Zhang Xianting said, "Lord Su, because it happened so suddenly, the bodies of Lord Zhang and the others are still inside. They did not touch the scene."
Hearing Zhang Xianting's words, Su Xin frowned and said, "What did you say? Them? Who else died besides Zhang Zhongye? "
Zhang Xianting was stunned and said, "Director Zhang's son, Zhang Chen, also died here."
"Zhang Zhongye had a son?" Su Xin frowned. This did not seem to be stated in the information.
Zhang Xianting explained, "Chief Steward Zhang fought with the Zhou Kingdom in his early years, so he didn't have any children. After he became idle, for some reason, he never had any children.
Later, Chief Steward Zhang specially paid a huge price to go to Medicine King Valley to ask for a high-grade medicinal pill. Only then did he have a son in his old age, and he doted on him very much.
It's just that Zhang Chen's talent seems to be a bit lacking. He's only at the middle Houtian stage in his twenties. "
Hearing Zhang Xianting's words, Su Xin immediately understood.
Zhang Zhongye was originally only at the Divine Transformation Realm, so his information was only a few simple sentences.
However, Zhang Chen only had the strength of the Houtian Realm. To put it bluntly, he had no value at all. He was not even qualified for the secret agents of the Six Fan School to inquire about him.
"Let's go, take me to see the corpses of Zhang Zhongye and his son." Su Xin said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhang Xianting hurriedly took him to the most luxurious house in the deepest part of the mansion. Zhang Zhongye's body was lying inside, and he had died in an extremely miserable way.
Su Xin went in front of the body and carefully examined it. Zhang Zhongye had died after fighting with someone. The meridians all over his body were broken, and the surface of his body was covered with hideous bloodstains.
Moreover, Su Xin could conclude that the person who killed Zhang Zhongye was not even at the Divine Transformation Realm!
Among the warriors of the same level, Su Xin's strength was not the strongest, but when it came to battle experience, not many people could compare to Su Xin, especially when it came to the junior overcoming the senior, defeating the strong with the weak.
Therefore, according to some clues at the scene, as well as the wounds and battle marks on Zhang Zhongye's body, Su Xin could tell at a glance that the person who killed Zhang Zhongye was definitely a warrior at the Innate Realm. He was very strong, at least as strong as the top ten on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Although Zhang Zhongye was a general director of the army, his original strength was not very strong. Moreover, he was now old, and his qi and blood had begun to decline. It was not difficult to kill such a person with the strength of the peak of the Innate Divine Palace Realm.
At least, the top ten on the Ranking List of Young Masters in Su Xin's generation could do it.
"Where is Zhang Chen's body?" Su Xin asked in a deep voice.
"It's in the side hall."
Zhang Xianting took Su Xin to take a look at Zhang Chen's body. Zhang Chen's death was very simple. His heart meridian was directly shattered by a palm, and nothing could be seen.
Su Xin turned his head to Zhang Xianting and the others, expressionlessly asking, "Your superior was killed in his own mansion, and from the looks of it, the battle between them didn't last long, yet none of you noticed?"
Zhang Xianting shivered and quickly cried out, "I'm wronged, my lord!
There are many women in Zhang Zhongye's mansion, so it is not convenient for us to come to his mansion on weekdays.
When we heard the noise and came here, Zhang Zhongye had already been killed. "
After listening to this, Su Xin did not say anything. Zhang Xianting and the others did not have the courage to get involved in this kind of thing, so what he said should be the truth.
However, Su Xin did not know how to evaluate Zhang Zhongye. This man was addicted to wine and women, and his cultivation was almost ruined.
If it were not for the fear that some eunuchs would be impeached, he would have hired some eunuchs to serve in the mansion.
This man was really arrogant to a certain extent. He actually drove all his subordinates out of the mansion. He really thought that no one in the Northwest Circuit would dare to touch him.
If Zhang Xianting and the others were in his mansion, it would be impossible for the person who killed him to succeed.
Although Zhang Xianting and the others were not very strong, they had the advantage in numbers. Unless the Xiantian Realm killer was as strong as Su Xin, it would be impossible for him to escape.
After looking at these things, Su Xin asked, "Did any strangers enter the city during this time? Or did Zhang Zhongye have any enemies?"
Zhang Xianting said with a bitter face, "My lord, we really don't know about this. You should also know about the situation in the Northwest Circuit. The people from the imperial court are just here to put on a show. They basically do not care about anything.
So even we are the same. Besides cultivating and playing, we don't participate in anything. Especially Zhang Zhongye. We don't have the qualifications to ask about his matters. "
Su Xin waved his hand and had Zhang Xianting leave. He also cleaned up Zhang Zhongye's mansion. It was quite an eyesore to have these corpses placed here.
These people from the Northwest Circuit's army were already crippled. Even Zhang Xianting himself knew that they were placed here by the imperial court to put on a show.
Therefore, Su Xin did not waste any more words with them. He directly arranged all of his subordinates to various parts of the Flying Dragon City and officially took over the Flying Dragon City. Zhang Zhongye's previous steward's mansion also began to be rebuilt and became Su Xin's Jiedu Fu.
"Boss, this is the information collected by the Six Fan School's secret agents." At this time, Li Bo walked into the house and handed a stack of information to Su Xin.
Su Xin flipped through it. Most of it was just detailed information about the forces in the Northwest Road, but there was not much valuable information.
In the Northwest Road, the Six Fan School's strength was actually not strong. They did not even have a headquarters.
The forces in the Northwest Road were extremely exclusive, so in other places, the secret agents of the Six Fan School could disguise themselves and secretly investigate. However, in a place like the Northwest Road, other than disguising themselves as loose cultivators and monitoring the periphery, it was impossible to enter the interior of the Northwest Circuit.
Some of the Northwest Circuit's people were very small, even only a few hundred people, and everyone knew each other. If the secret agent of the Six Fan School could still sneak in under these circumstances, then this person's strength could even become one of the Four Great Divine Arresters.
Knocking on the table, Su Xin said in a deep voice, "Li Bo, take some people to find the three great martial arts forces of the Flying Dragon City and see if you can pry open their mouths. They might know something.
After all, these people are the local tyrants of the Northwest Road, and they even have some dealings with the Northwest Circuit's people. Even if they don't know the specific information, they will definitely know some clues. "
Li Bo said in a low voice, "What if they don't say it?"
Su Xin said indifferently, "What's the use of keeping trash who don't know anything?"
Li Bo nodded and directly turned to leave with his people.
He had followed Su Xin for so long, of course, he knew Su Xin's way of doing things, and it was also the one he liked the most, simple and direct.
Compared with being a ruler, Li Bo was more willing to be a sword, a killing sword!
After receiving Su Xin's order, Li Bo directly sent an invitation in his own name, inviting the people of the three great families of the Flying Dragon City to the original military camp of the Northwest Road for a while. Of course, now it was going to become the headquarters of the Shadow Guard.
When Zhao Lan and the other two received the invitation, they were immediately shocked and quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Zhuo Dongtian of the Donglin Sect held the invitation and said in surprise, "The Deputy Director of the Shadow Guard, Li Bo? Who is this guy? Isn't this Su Xin a bit too arrogant? Does he think he can order us around with just a nameless subordinate of his? "
If this invitation was sent by Su Xin, then Zhuo Dongtian and the others would definitely come immediately without saying a word. They didn't dare to be disrespectful at all. After all, Su Xin's strength and status were obvious.
However, if a nobody under Su Xin dared to do so, it would be an insult to the three sects.
Zhao Lan glanced at Zhuo Dongtian. This person was a little short-sighted. He only cared about the land in front of him and didn't care about the news of the outside world at all. Sooner or later, he would fail miserably.
Therefore, Zhao Lan coughed and explained, "This Li Bo is Su Xin's number one confidant. He followed Su Xin to slaughter countless sects in Jiangnan Road and later served as the chief of detectives of Jiangnan Road and Jianghuai Road. Recently, he was conferred the title of the Four Great Super Arresters and served as the Deputy Director of the Shadow Guard newly established by Su Xin. Although his cultivation is only in the Divine Transformation Realm, his strength is unfathomable. Even the people of the Xiao Family have suffered losses in his hands."
Hearing such a series of titles from Li Bo, Zhuo Dongtian immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Even if he were an idiot, he knew what being a confidant of Su Xin and the Four Great Super Arresters meant.
