Chapter 178 Zhou Qing: I Admit that I Spoke Too Loudly Just Now! (Two in One)

Zhou Qing couldn't help showing joy when he saw Han Wending appear. He hurried forward and saluted respectfully: "Hello, Uncle Han!"

Before he went to Nanli County City, he wrote a letter in advance to prevent any eventuality. He asked the escort agency in the town to deliver the letter to the Han family and give it to Han Qingqing, just to prevent people from the Demon Suppression Division and the Five Poison Sect from coming to cause trouble as soon as he arrived in Nanli County City.

He really guessed it right!

However, Zhou Qing didn't expect that the Demon Suppression Division and the Five Poison Sect would actually send two great martial artists in the blood exchange realm to question him. They really think highly of him.

Of course, he didn't expect that the person who came from the Han family was not Han Qingqing, but the head of the family, Han Wending.

Han Wending turned around, with a gentle smile on his solemn face, and extended his hand to help.

"My dear nephew, please don't be polite. Last time, my dear nephew left in a hurry and didn't let the Han family do their duty as a host. This time when I return, I must stay at the Han family for a while."

"I was rude last time." Zhou Qing said respectfully.

The two Blood Exchange Realm Great Martial Masters on the side all looked grim upon seeing this. They had never expected that Zhou Qing had such a close relationship with the Han family. This was a bit troublesome.

"Let's solve the current problem first." Han Wending nodded. When facing the two Blood Exchange Realm Great Martial Masters, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Wan Guang, you broke into the house of nephew Zhou Xian for no reason and beat up my maid. Are you going to make enemies with my Han family?"

"I" Wan Guang saw Han Wending's tough attitude and his face changed, but he didn't dare to say harsh words to Han Wending, and his attitude softened immediately.

"Nephew Wan Jiang is missing. I came here to ask questions on the orders of the sect master. I want to find out about the situation from the little nephew surnamed Zhou."

"Oh? Wan Jiang is missing?" Han Wending seemed to be thinking about something. He didn't say much, but turned back to look at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Senior, I am not familiar with Senior Brother Wan Jiang. I only know that he has not returned since he went out last month. I don't know anything else. I think Senior Sister and Senior Brother Wei have already informed Master about this matter."

Before coming, they had already prepared their excuses.

Since they insisted that Wan Jiang was missing, the best excuse was that they didn't know.

After all, a living person, a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm, has legs, and no one can stop him.

"Whether it is true or not, you can go back to the Five Poison Sect with me, and the Sect Master will know after asking." Wan Guang's face was slightly gloomy.

"Even if he went to the Five Poison Sect, Senior Brother Wan Jiang's disappearance has nothing to do with me. From what you said, do you want to torture me?" Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.

Hearing this, Han Wending did not speak, but his extremely oppressive eyes fell on Wan Guang.

Wan Guang felt his whole body tense up, and said with a stiff face: "The master will naturally not torture the disciples in the sect, but the elders of the punishment hall in the sect have practiced a "soul-stealing technique", which can be used on warriors below the blood exchange realm, making them tell everything they know."

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said in a deep voice: "Has the sect used the mind-confusing technique on Senior Brother Wei?"

"This... not yet." Wan Guang's expression froze. In fact, he was just trying to trick Zhou Qing. He didn't expect that Zhou Qing was young and didn't panic at all when encountering things.

However, it was mainly because Han Wending was by his side, so he didn't dare to intimidate Zhou Qing with his blood exchange realm cultivation.

"It seems that this soul-stealing technique has a significant negative impact on the recipient, right?" Zhou Qing's face turned cold, he was not scared.

"If you don't resist, you won't be affected. If Junior Brother Zhou has nothing to hide, why not give it a try?" Wan Guang said stubbornly.

"Whoever questions, provide evidence! I am innocent, why do I need to prove my innocence? Besides, if you use such vicious means against disciples just because of suspicion, you don't have to go to the Five Poison Sect." Zhou Qing's attitude became tough.

Private fighting is strictly prohibited in Nanli County City. In fact, it is not Zhou Qing who is protected, but Wan Guang.

If it were in the wild today, Wan Guang, a mere man, would not have the right to question him.

Seeing that Zhou Qing did not give him any face, his words were almost scolding, and he did not regard him as an elder or senior at all, Wan Guang could not help but sneered with a gloomy face:

"From what you said, you don't admit that you are a disciple of the Five Poison Sect?! You are really worthy of being a disciple accepted by Junior Brother Wei, one by one."

"Hmm?" Han Wending on the side raised his eyebrows.

Wan Guang's face suddenly turned green and white, as if he had opened a dyeing factory on his face.

However, he came with the attitude of bullying the weak and using his power to suppress others from the beginning. Now facing Han Wending, who is much stronger than himself, he can only be defeated.

"If you have nothing else to ask, please go back. My family is poor, and I don't have any decent tea to entertain you, so I won't keep you as a guest." Zhou Qing looked indifferent and said to send him away.

"Good! Good! Good! I will report today's events to the master truthfully!" Wan Guang gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Qing hatefully.

"Goodbye!"

He bowed to Han Wending beside him, and then left.

At this time, the other lieutenant general of the Demon Suppression Division in purple official uniform looked a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Yun, what about you? Why did you come to see my nephew Zhou?" Han Wending looked at the other party. Although he also called him by name, his attitude was a little softer.

"Report to Lord Han, the lieutenant general Xiao Kang in charge of the Ping'an County area disappeared inexplicably. Before he disappeared, he investigated a lot of files about Zhou Qing, so I came to find Zhou Qing to understand some situations."

Xiao Yun bowed respectfully.

Although the Demon Suppression Division and the Nanli County Governor's Office are not in the same system, Han Wending, as the Nanli County Commander, has a higher official position and stronger strength than him, so he naturally dares not neglect it.

Han Wending's heart moved, and he said calmly: "Before Xiao Kang disappeared, he investigated a lot of files about Zhou Xianzhi. This can't mean that his disappearance is related to Zhou Xianzhi?"

"Of course, I'm here just for routine inquiries." Xiao Yun said seriously.

"Okay, ask." Han Wending nodded.

"Yes." Xiao Yun looked at Zhou Qing and asked him a few basic questions, such as where he was on the day Xiao Kang disappeared, what he was doing, and whether there were other people around.

Zhou Qing responded one by one.

In fact, Xiao Yun and Zhou Qing knew that the questioning was just a formality.

Zhou Qing had been in the Demon Suppression Division, so he naturally knew how many ways to interrogate prisoners in the imperial prison. If you don't consider the degree of perversion, many punishments are simply beyond the imagination of normal people in terms of creativity.

Even a tough man can't stand more than a dozen tortures.

But such punishments will naturally not be used on Zhou Qing.

Many times, it doesn't matter whether you did it or not.

If Zhou Qing has no strength and no background, he will confess as long as he enters the prison of the Demon Suppression Division.

This is the same as being stabbed eight times in the back and committing suicide.

Death may be the easiest result at that time.

The point is not the truth, but completing the task.

"I have finished asking questions, and I will go back to report." After Xiao Yun finished asking questions, he did not delay, bowed respectfully to Han Wending, and was about to leave.

"Sir Xiao, take care." Zhou Qing bowed and said, and was about to see Xiao Yun out.

"Brother Zhou, please stay." Xiao Yun signaled him not to see him off, and walked out of the mansion quickly.

Zhou Qing watched Xiao Yun leave, his eyes changed for a while, today was just the first level, it was the beginning of trouble, not the end.

He pursued stability, but there were always people who didn't let him have stability.

Zhou Qing looked at Han Wending, "Uncle Han, actually this matter."

"You don't need to explain, I believe what you said." Han Wending raised his hand to interrupt him. For him, the truth was not important.

"You saved Qingqing and Lu Yan, I must repay this favor, even if it means making enemies with the Five Poison Sect. Besides, the Wan family today is no longer the Wan family of the past."

"Thank you, Uncle Han!" Zhou Qing bowed respectfully.

"No need to do that." Han Wending held Zhou Qing's wrist, "Qingqing has shown me the letter you wrote to her. I plan to arrange a position of lieutenant general for you in the Shenwei Camp. In this way, both the Han family and the Su family will become your backers, and you can practice with peace of mind before you break through the blood exchange realm."

"Lieutenant general? This is probably against the rules, right?" Zhou Qing was stunned. Lieutenant generals are generally military officers who can only be great martial artists in the blood exchange realm.

"It is against the rules. However." Han Wending nodded, revealing an unquestionable domineering tone in his words: "In the Shenwei Camp, my rules are the rules!"

"Of course, you are now a lieutenant general, and it is definitely difficult to convince the public, so you will not be given real power or salary at the beginning. I believe that with your ability, you will soon be able to stand out in the battle with the barbarians. By then, you will be the legitimate lieutenant general of the Shenwei Camp."

Han Wending said with a smile.

"Yes!" Zhou Qing said seriously. Joining the Shenwei Camp will make it much easier to contact the Wuxi Barbarians.

"The camp set out yesterday, and there are still some things to deal with in the camp. I will go back to the camp first and come to you in a few days." Han Wending nodded.

"Uncle Han, you are too serious. When Uncle Han returns, it will be the younger generation who will visit you." Zhou Qing said respectfully.

"That's good. Qingqing has been talking about you in my ears for a while!" Han Wending smiled.

"Dad! What are you talking about? You are making up stories about your daughter behind her back again." At this time, a coquettish voice came from the gate.

Zhou Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Han Qingqing wearing black armor and with long hair tied into a high ponytail. Compared with her previous arrogance, she looked heroic.

"You didn't have time to hear me praising you before, but you heard it when I said this." Han Wendi teased.

"Who told you not to bring me when you came back? I don't have the same body skills as you." Han Qingqing said unhappily.

"You are asking me to help my nephew Zhou Xian." Han Wendi didn't act like a master in front of Han Qingqing, just like an old father who doted on his daughter.

"What are you talking about?!" Han Qingqing's face turned red and she stamped her feet anxiously.

"Okay, you young people, talk more. I have to deal with the affairs in the camp." Han Wendi saw that his daughter was anxious, and he disappeared in the field with a flash.

"So fast!" Zhou Qing's eyes focused, and he almost didn't have time to react before Han Wendi disappeared from his sight.

Such speed is far beyond the reach of Mu Renjie.

Han Wending is very likely to be a top martial artist who has exchanged blood more than six times, and his strength may be stronger than Wei Sheng in his prime.

"Brother Zhou, how are you doing recently?" Han Qingqing came to Zhou Qing and looked at him coquettishly.

"Thank you Miss Qingqing for your concern. I am doing well recently." Zhou Qing smiled and bowed, then ordered the two maids: "Hurry up and serve tea to Miss Qingqing."

"Yes." The two maids hurried to the backyard.

At this time, Han Qingqing noticed the slap mark on Lanlan's face, and her face darkened: "Lanlan, who hit you."

"Fourth Miss" Lan Lan saw Han Qingqing and told her what happened just now with a crying voice.

"The people of the Wan family are really bullying!" Han Qingqing's face was full of indignation.

"This matter will not be let go, I will definitely make Wan Guang pay back a hundredfold!" Zhou Qing comforted her. Since Wan Guang had ill intentions towards him, he had no choice but to let him die.

"Mr. Zhou" Lan Lan was a little moved. She believed that Zhou Qing would have this ability sooner or later.

"Lan Lan, you were beaten for me today. Go find Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu and go to the warehouse to get fifty taels of silver as a little compensation for you." Zhou Qing nodded.

"Mr. Zhou, how can this be possible." Lan Lan waved her hands repeatedly. Even though she was a maid of the Han family and the most favored fourth lady's close person, her monthly salary was as much as two taels of silver. Fifty taels of silver was enough for her to save for several years.

"Of course, I, Zhou Qing, deserve more than 50 taels of silver. If it weren't for the recent high expenses and insufficient silver in the treasury, even 500 taels would not be a big deal." Zhou Qing said seriously.

He never treated people who did things well unfairly.

With his current expenses, an extra 50 or 500 taels would not do much.

But for the people below, this money is a huge sum.

It's too mean to make so much money and still be stingy with the people around you.

"Lan Lan, since Brother Zhou said so, you should keep the silver. Brother Zhou is much more generous than me." Han Qingqing echoed.

"Miss, you are too kind. Miss treats me very well!" Lan Lan said hurriedly.

"Go." Han Qingqing motioned Lan Lan to go quickly.

"Yes." Lan Lan bowed and left the front yard.

Han Qingqing waited until Lanlan left before she said, "Brother Zhou, if you are short of money, you can tell me."

"I am short of a lot of money. You should keep your money for yourself. I have my own way." Zhou Qing waved his hand. Han Wendi had helped him so much this time, and he was embarrassed to borrow money from Han Qingqing again.

Besides, although Han Qingqing was the most favored one in the Han family, he was still young after all. A few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver would be a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that many of his things were temporarily inconvenient to sell, he would not be short of money.

Some of the items on Mu Renjie and Wan Jiang alone could be sold for nearly 10,000 taels of silver.

Han Qingqing nodded and walked to the front hall: "Okay, if you need anything, just let me know. I have the property my mother left me, all of which are my private money. Although I don't earn much, I can lend you 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver for emergency use. When you have money, you can consider paying me back."

"Squeak!"

Han Qingqing talked to herself. She walked into the front hall and found that Zhou Qing didn't follow her in. There was a "squeak" behind her.

"Brother Zhou?" Han Qingqing looked back and saw Zhou Qing standing at the door with a stunned expression.

"Miss Qingqing, I admit that I spoke too loudly just now." Zhou Qing showed a bright smile on his face, and his eight white upper teeth were dazzlingly white under the sunlight.

"Actually, this." Zhou Qing made a fly rubbing his hands gesture.

30,000 taels of silver!

Enough for him to make a big breakthrough in martial arts and Gu refining at the same time.

If he rushed to the blood exchange realm in one breath, his strength would increase greatly, and it would be much easier to make money.

"."Han Qingqing was confused by Zhou Qing's sudden enthusiasm.
