Practice Remembering You

Chapter 341: Evidence Collection and Settlement

"That's not the case. I still believe in City Lord Zhang." Huang Zuo responded.

Zhang Yu continued, "If you don't believe it in your heart, then Brother Huang can ask around to see how credible I am."

Huang Zuo was at a loss for words for a moment.

Zhang Yu continued, "Besides, if you think about it a little, you will know that there is no need for me to do this. You are at the border of Zhongzhou in the East Region, which is too far away from me. I am the mayor of Xiaoshi City. Without permission from above, I do not have the right to expand. It does not make any sense for me to disturb you. Although thinking too much is sometimes useful, most of the time, it is useless."

Huang Zuo pondered for a long time, and seemed to have figured it out. He looked at Lei Chu again, and the previous emotion was gone in his eyes. He was much calmer now.

Then he bowed to Zhang Yu and said, "City Lord Zhang is right. Now it seems that I misunderstood you. Here, I apologize to City Lord Zhang. When I came here, I attacked City Lord Zhang directly, which was really offensive. I hope City Lord Zhang will forgive me."

"They are all minor issues. I can understand Mr. Huang. After all, after what happened before, it is normal to be a little anxious. And in the end, no one was injured, so it's easy to deal with."

Huang Zuo pointed at Lei Chu and said, "After City Lord Zhang's advice, I think we were too impulsive in this matter. There are many unconfirmed points, so I want to take this young friend back to verify it so as to clear his name."

Lei Chu was originally listening attentively, and even thought that the other party really realized his mistake, but suddenly he heard what Huang Zuo did, which made Lei Chu so angry that after all, wasn't he going to kill himself?

To be honest, the method Huang Zuo used was not very clever. Even Lei Chu, a kid who was less than 30 years old, could see through it, so Zhang Yu could naturally see through it at a glance as well.

Lei Chu was about to refuse harshly, but Zhang Yu spoke first. Zhang Yu smiled and said, "This kid is in danger and he came to me specially. This shows that he trusts me. I can't let him down. I can't just let him go with you."

Huang Zuo's expression was determined: "What does City Lord Zhang want to say? Don't you trust me?"

"I believe in Fellow Daoist Huang now, but after the conversation just now, although I believe that Huangyashan is a reputable and upright sect, I don't believe that this reputable and upright sect will give him a fair judgment."

"If I don't take him back, I'm afraid this matter won't end so easily." There was a hint of threat in Huang Zuo's words.

"Friend Huang, you don't have to be so difficult. I didn't say that you can't go with me. I'm just a good person, so I'll go with you."

After these words were spoken, Lei Chu and Huang Zuo were both stunned. Lei Chu did not expect that City Lord Zhang Yu would be willing to take the risk and go there with him. He was just a small cultivator of the second rank. At first, he thought that it would be enough if City Lord Zhang could defend him. He really did not expect this step.

Zhang Yu's words now gave Lei Chu a strong sense of security. He was about to reject it, but now he didn't say anything.

The reason why Huang Zuo was stunned was that Zhang Yu's action really disrupted his thoughts, because at the beginning, he never expected that Zhang Yu would actually follow him directly.

However, if he disagreed at this time, it would seem like something really happened, so after a pause, he finally agreed.

What Huang Zuo is thinking now is that he originally did not intend to investigate so much. After bringing Lei Chu here, he would do some superficial work and then execute him directly. As for whether he is really Lei Chu or not, it is not important. He is just a small second-level cultivator, so if he dies, he dies.

But now that Zhang Yu is going with us, we have to investigate carefully, which will be troublesome. But now that things have come to this, there is no other choice.

After the matter was decided, Zhang Yu used his spiritual consciousness to transmit information to the four cultivator officials in the city, and then took Lei Chu and Huang Zuo to Huangya Mountain.

The monks traveled much faster, and since they were on the right roads, they arrived at the village where the incident happened after about a week.

Zhang Yu and Huang Zuo went to the village together to collect evidence and investigate.

Fortunately, Shen Sheng's cultivation was not very high, and his entire body had not yet been solidified by the true qi, and there were still some scattered remains of his body.

There are no secrets in the bones of a dead person. If you use your spiritual sense to investigate inside the corpse, you can feel the subtle evil spirit.

In this way, it was immediately confirmed that Lei Chu was wrongly accused, and the person who practiced the evil skills was Huang Yashan's disciple, Shen Sheng.

Huang Zuo's face suddenly turned dark. The core disciples of Huangya Mountain practiced evil skills and sacrificed mortals. It would be a huge disgrace if this matter got out.

When Lei Chu saw the truth, he was about to mock Huang Zuo, but Zhang Yu saw what Lei Chu was going to do, so before Lei Chu opened his mouth, he stepped forward and grabbed Lei Chu's shoulders, stopping him from saying anything.

Lei Chu was startled and looked at Zhang Yu. At this time, Zhang Yu stared at him calmly with a pair of eyes emitting blue light, and shook his head slightly.

Lei Chu seemed to understand something, but he didn't quite understand. Since City Lord Zhang didn't let him do that, there must be a reason.

Huang Zuo looked at Shen Sheng's body for a long time, and finally looked at Zhang Yu with complicated eyes: "City Lord Zhang, you have experienced a lot, you should know what will happen next."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Let's go, let's finish it sooner and end it sooner."

"Anyway..." Huang Zuo's expression was complicated. He didn't finish his words, but just sighed: "City Lord Zhang, have you anticipated this?"

"Not exactly what I expected."

At this time, Lei Chu was still confused and had no idea what the two were talking about.

Huang Zuo looked at Lei Chu and pursed his lips: "You are so lucky, your City Lord Zhang is definitely a noble person in your life. You don't know how much City Lord Zhang paid to save you. This price cannot be explained in a few words."

Although Lei Chu didn't know what had happened, he could tell from Huang Zuo's words that City Lord Zhang must have paid a lot for him.

Then he looked at Zhang Yu and bowed quickly: "Thank you very much, Lord City Lord. I will never forget your kindness!"

Zhang Yu smiled and patted Lei Chu's shoulder: "In fact, you saved yourself. Karma is really amazing. I hope you can also abide by your heart and not be polluted in the future."

After saying that, he took Lei Chu to Huangya Mountain, and Huang Zuo also took Shen Sheng's body with them.

Looking at Zhang Yu's figure, Huang Zuo sighed: "City Lord Zhang, Chen Sheng is the disciple of our sect master, and our sect master is a fifth-level cultivator. Chen Sheng also has the support of people from the same lineage."

Zhang Yu nodded after hearing this: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for the reminder. If you come to Xiaoshi City in Dongzhou in the future, you can come and have a drink."

"You should pass the previous hurdle first." Huang Zuo glanced at Zhang Yu helplessly.
