Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 101 The Eve of the Decisive Battle
"No, look..." Tang Zheng pointed at the flower king who was living a life of luxury, "It has lost a leaf!"
Ban Yiluo almost sat down on the ground.
Tang Zheng's tone was as if he was saying "I lost a hair ahhhh", as exaggerated as it could be.
"Is it that serious?" Ban Yiluo looked at the flower fields that had just been transplanted. All of them had withered. Relatively speaking, the Flower King had only lost a few leaves. That was a small loss, right?
"A flower king that is obsessed with luxury and extravagance will never be able to recover from any damage, no matter how small, that it suffers after it grows up!" Xu Qingyan was knowledgeable and knew that the leaves that the flower king had lost would probably never grow again.
"It's a huge loss, it's really a huge loss this time..." In Tang Zheng's eyes, any problem that can be solved with money will not be considered a loss, but the damage to this decadent flower king is indeed irreparable by money.
Xu Qingyan's face was calm. With a light stroke of his fingertips, a petal of the flower that fell from the sky was instantly cut into two parts: "This assassin must die!"
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed. "Death? That would be too easy for him... By the way, Boss, do you have any truth serum for sale?"
" Veritaserum, what is that?" Ban Yiluo asked somewhat puzzled.
"It's the kind of potion that makes people tell the truth after drinking it ! Don't you have even this kind of essential medicine for home travel, murder and robbery?" Tang Zheng said.
"Really not! Jubao Pavilion is not a black market, how could it sell something that sounds so dark and vulgar..." Ban Yiluo said with contempt.
"Damn it, why is it dark and vulgar to ask people to tell the truth? So in your eyes, virtues like honesty are equal to vulgarity?" Tang Zheng, who had recovered from his injury and was finally able to speak loudly, started arguing with Ban Yilou again.
"I heard that military camps and special departments of the city guards are equipped with this kind of stuff. Of course, this is just a rumor and needs to be verified." Xu Qingyan looked at Tang Zheng and Ban Yilou chatting non-stop. He was used to it and directly told them the information he knew.
When Tang Zheng heard this, he really stopped arguing with Ban Yilou and said with a smile, "As expected, Qingyan is more knowledgeable. Great, I'm just about to go to the City Guard House. Let's set off now without further delay."
So, the three of them went on a non-stop journey, found Chi Bao and Ye Qianhan, and borrowed a new carriage with luxurious configuration and super high defense. This was of course one of the treatments that the owners of Tianxia Minglu could enjoy, so they set off directly.
When Tang Zheng and his companions arrived at the City Guard Mansion, Xu Feng and several soldiers had just returned to the mansion not long ago. They were speechless about Tang Zheng and his three guests who came uninvited.
Several soldiers who had just been at the scene were all shocked to see Tang Zheng's lively appearance - not long ago, this guy was seriously injured and his speech was weak and listless, but just a short time later, he seemed to be reborn.
Some people even thought that they were seeing a ghost, or that the person standing in front of them was not Tang Zheng, but his twin brother or something.
Tang Zhengke didn't bother to care about the surprise of these soldiers, but went straight to Xu Feng. Under his slightly surprised gaze, he said with a smile: "Commander Xu, I came to borrow... no, I came to assist you in the investigation!"
…
Half an hour later, Tang Zheng came out of the City Guard House with a satisfied look on his face, and Xu Feng also came out to see him off with a smile on his face.
"Nephew Tang, are you really sure that you can determine the identity of that person tomorrow and hand him over to us?" Xu Feng asked doubtfully as he walked.
Tang Zheng touched his chin and said, "Don't worry, Commander Xu. With your help, I will definitely solve this case. I will let you know tomorrow who the assassin is!"
Hearing Tang Zheng's guarantee, Xu Feng and the soldiers behind him couldn't help but tremble in their faces. Tang Zheng was being too arrogant. It turned out that he was not the one who came to assist the City Guards in solving the case, but the entire City Guards were cooperating with him to help him solve the case!
However, this assassin is very cunning and quite powerful. The people in the City Guard haven't got many clues about him. If he can't be arrested as soon as possible, and if he makes a few more big mistakes in the streets, even Xu Feng's official position might be affected.
Therefore, they would try not to offend Tang Zheng, the little expert in solving cases who came to their doorstep.
In short, as long as the case can be solved as soon as possible, and the credit for solving the case will go on the shoulders of the city guards, Xu Feng and his team can basically accept anything before that.
"Okay, Commander Xu, after sending you thousands of miles away, we must finally say goodbye. Please stay." Tang Zheng sent Xu Feng and the others back with exaggerated words just after walking down a few steps of the City Guard Mansion.
Seeing that everyone in the City Guard Mansion had returned to the mansion, Ban Yilou curled his lips and said, "I didn't expect that there really was something as sinister and vulgar as truth serum in the City Guard Mansion. The world is really going downhill, and people's hearts are no longer the same as before. This society is too dark and too corrupt! Oh, by the way, kid Tang, if there are any extra bottles after this incident, remember to leave two bottles for me..."
Tang Zheng's answer to Ban Yiluo was just a raised middle finger.
"Hey, Tang boy, what do you mean? Only give me one bottle? Okay, one bottle is just one bottle, don't go back on your word!" Ban Yilou quickly caught up with Tang Zheng and said.
Just like that, Tang Zheng and his companions returned to Tianxia Minglu again. Ban Yiluo did not go back to Jubao Pavilion either, under the pretext of wanting to experience the feeling of living in a mansion. In fact, the assassin had not been dealt with yet, and he was worried about Tang Zheng's safety.
Tang Zheng naturally understood Ban Yilou’s thoughts. He smiled and did not point it out. He just went into the kitchen and prepared a table of delicious dishes himself.
That night, Xu Qingyan played the piano, Tianxiang danced, Daji poured wine, Tang Zheng cooked, and on the huge terrace with a lake view, Ban Yiluo drank until he was drunk and enjoyed it very much.
Early the next morning, Tang Zheng got up Xu Qingyan and Ban Yiluo, and once again got on the carriage with the Tianxia Minglu emblem, and headed towards Yisu Academy in a very ostentatious manner.
It attracted countless envious glances along the way. Those who didn't know thought it was some noble young man going on an autumn outing. Who could have guessed that the guy in the carriage was actually going to fight someone.
"Tang boy, are you confident in fighting with Leng Zhan today?" Ban Yilou seemed even more nervous than Tang Zheng. He asked this question no less than ten times along the way.
"Teacher, can you please stop asking? I've already told you that if I fight a pervert like Leng Zhan, the chances of winning or losing are fifty-fifty!" Tang Zheng replied impatiently.
"Really? It really can't be any higher?" Ban Yilou still didn't give up.
"Okay, to fight a cold war, I only need one hand, and the winning rate is 100%. I can easily kill him! Are you satisfied now?" Tang Zheng said speechlessly.
"Tsk, you brag without thinking. Who would believe you? Hey, do you have any confidence?"
