Chapter 252: Heavy Punch
The clerk on duty outside the door was drowsy. When he heard Zhao Jue's voice, he hurried over to bow.
He smiled and said, "Does your lord have any dietary restrictions? Or is there any dish you want to eat?"
"No!" Zhao Jue waved his hand and leaned against the door frame to block the clerk's sight. He whispered, "Just send some food in. Oh, and a pot of warm rice wine! Go!"
The clerk nodded, replied "yes", and hurried out.
Zhao Jue waved at the door and reminded, "Remember, the rice wine must be hot!"
"I understand, don't worry, Lord Zhao!" The clerk's voice came through the wall.
Hearing the clerk's voice, he put down his hand. Taking this opportunity, he secretly threw a white jade flesh-regenerating pill into his mouth, and then turned back to the house and closed the door.
Seeing that Wangshu's expression on the bed did not change, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Is this okay?"
"Okay!" Wangshu on the bed thought he was talking to himself and nodded with satisfaction.
But Zhao just smiled and sat down calmly. Since there is no way, just accept it with a smile, and then find a way to solve it. The top priority now is to heal the wound and restore the true energy first.
Glancing at Wangshu, he slowly closed his eyes and waited quietly for the clerk to bring in wine and food.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, there was a knock on the door. Zhao took the wine and food, asked the clerk to go down, locked the door and set the food, and then drank wine by himself.
"Let's eat together?" Wangshu asked.
"No."
......
The night passed quickly, and the sun rose again, shining all over the earth. Nothing has changed, and there is no difference between today and yesterday.
People entering the city can find that many soldiers have been added to several gates of Bianzhou. Moreover, these soldiers were not as casual as before. They all looked serious, and no one even accepted the tribute.
Seeing this, several people carrying loads stopped in surprise, wondering what happened today? Fortunately, they soon saw an acquaintance, and quietly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Military, what happened today?"
"Old Li." The soldier and the man were from the same hometown, and hurriedly pulled him aside, looked around, and made sure that there were not many people.
Then he explained in a low voice, "Old Li, you don't know. Last night, a senior official from the capital was assassinated in Mingyue. The assassin has not been found to this day, and the superiors asked us to keep a close eye. As long as someone leaves the city, no matter who it is, we must search!"
"Hiss!" The man gasped in fear.
How high an official is this? It is not enough for a prefecture governor to investigate all night, and the search continues at dawn. He must be a third-rank official, right? No, no, at least a second-rank official.
"How high is his position?"
The soldier frowned and sighed, "How should I know? Anyway, Lao Li, be careful and don't cause trouble!"
Lao Li nodded and smiled, "I'll save it, save it."
After saying goodbye, Lao Li led a few people to the city.
At this time, several people from the rivers and lakes rode their horses and galloped all the way. Yesterday, three small masters fought, and they had to go back to the sect to report the news.
"Get off the horse! Search!" Several gatekeepers stepped forward to stop them and shouted.
Several people pulled the reins and stopped. They were all a little puzzled. Wasn't it fine yesterday? Why is it going to be searched today?
But because of the government, they still got off the horse obediently. Anyway, they didn't do anything bad, so they searched if they wanted to, which would only take some time.
"Come on, search them."
The captain waved his hand, and several soldiers stepped forward to search them. He pulled out the letter from the man in front and asked, "What is this?"
"A letter to my uncle." The man responded frankly.
The captain stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What is it written?"
"It's not convenient to say it openly!"
The man was already a little angry. How can he say such a thing? He can't just read it out openly, right?
If he could read it out openly, would he still need to write it on paper?
"Heh." The captain sneered and shouted coldly, "Is it inconvenient to say it openly, or do you dare not say it openly?"
"You!" The man's expression changed, and he pointed at the captain angrily.
"What do you mean you? I think you are asking for help, right? It can be seen that you are the accomplice of the assassin last night!"
The captain raised his hand to slap his fingers away, drew out his long knife, and shouted, "Catch him for me!"
Several soldiers stepped forward with weapons in their hands. The man's face changed and he hurriedly stepped back. He didn't expect that this group of people would not only make excuses, but also dare to arrest people at random.
"Looking for death!" the man said softly.
He opened the driving, circulated his internal energy and wanted to take action. Several people behind him also took their positions and looked at several soldiers with a fierce look.
They were ready to hurt people if they disagreed with each other.
"How dare you! You dare to provoke the government! Take them down, take them all down!" The captain's face condensed, and the blade pointed directly at several people.
But the soldiers just clenched their weapons and stared at them, but did not dare to take action. They knew clearly that their lives were their own.
How much salary is a month? Is it worth risking your life?
Several people laughed disdainfully, and just when they were about to retreat, several waves of true energy came from behind them. Before they could react, they were knocked to the ground by the people behind them.
Seeing this, the captain waved his hand and shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Arrest them all and check them slowly!"
This scene happened at several city gates. In just one day, the empty prison in Bianzhou was instantly filled, and it was not even enough.
In Bianzhou, everyone was in danger. The number of soldiers patrolling the streets increased by an unknown amount in just one night.
The restaurants, brothels, and restaurants were extremely lively. The people from the underworld who could not leave the city gathered here and discussed with confusion.
"What do you think is going on? Are you not allowed to leave the city?"
"That's not to say that you are not allowed to leave the city. As long as you can tolerate a few pairs of big hands touching you, leaving the city is not a big problem."
"Ah? Is it a man or a girl?"
"Girl? Oh, do you want the prefect to search you? What are you thinking?"
Someone asked in confusion: "What should we do? Force your way out of the city?"
Someone immediately answered him, "Go. Today, when it was just getting dark, a first-class wanted to fly out with light skills. Oh, he was held down in mid-air. Do you know what the result was?"
"What? Arrested?" Everyone asked in unison.
"Arrested? He was beaten to death on the spot! I was there!"
Beaten to death on the spot? Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected the government to take such a big action. What had happened? Could the government take such a heavy hand?
At this time, a team of soldiers passed by, and the tavern immediately became quiet. One by one, they lowered their heads and pretended to eat, fearing that they would be arrested if they were not careful.
Although they had martial arts skills, they certainly did not want to be at odds with the court and the government.
They did not dare to be willing.
