Chapter 125 Trimming
"No, I just met Mr. Gu a few times, so I asked a few more questions."

Zheng Hong responded with a smile, there was nothing wrong with the words, as if it was really just a casual question.

Meng Qing nodded, and asked suddenly after a while:
"Then Master Zheng is going to see Master Gu later?"

"You should see him more or less, after all, you are Lord Zhizhou."

Zheng Hong said casually.

Although the Gu family is very powerful in Ningzhou, in fact, the Gu family is only the magistrate of Ningzhou city who works in Ningzhou. The officials are not very big, but they are not small. They can be regarded as the third in command in Ningzhou city.

Zheng Hong is a patrol officer of the Pinghu Division. Although strictly speaking he is not a member of the officialdom, Zheng Hong has to maintain the minimum etiquette for a prefect.

The situation of some cases also needs to be reported to Gu Zhizhou face to face.

Meng Qing stopped talking, Zheng Hongduo glanced at Liu Yuan, and said to him:

"You have a good relationship with Young Master Gu. If you have free time in the future, you can walk around with Young Master Gu more."

"..."

Hearing what Zheng Hong said, Liu Yuan was a little stunned.

He remembered clearly how Zheng Hong doubted Gu Chen when he was in Dan'an City, and why Zheng Hong was ready to show his kindness as soon as Gu Chen arrived in Ningzhou City?

He, Zheng Xunzu, shouldn't be such a follower, right?

Liu Yuan was puzzled in his heart, but on the surface he didn't ask anything, and lowered his head in response:
"Yes."

Zheng Hong stopped talking about this matter, and said to Meng Qing:

"Interrogate Wang Qi carefully. Make sure to catch the people behind him. I'll go out and leave the matter here to you."

After Zheng Hong finished speaking, he left the room. Meng Qing and Liu Yuangong saw him off, and each looked at each other after getting up.

Liu Yuan hesitated for a long time before asking Meng Qing:

"Meng Butou, is Mr. Zheng on good terms with the Gu family?"

Meng Qing glanced at Liu Yuan and replied:
"It can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad. The third master of the Gu family is the local magistrate, and Zheng Tou is the one who handles the most cases in Pinghu Division. He has dealt with this magistrate at least. I am familiar with the Gu family."

"..."

Liu Yuan nodded, a little thought flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Meng Qing asked:

"What? Do you have any questions?"

Liu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly replied:
"No, no, I just asked casually."

Meng Qing didn't doubt that he was there, patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder again, and said:
"Okay, don't think about such a mess, let's go, let's go to the cell to interrogate Wang Qi, brother, I will show you the methods of our Pinghu Division today."

After finishing speaking, Meng Qing took Liu Yuan and turned to Pinghu Si prison.

Liu Yuan followed closely, but he was still thinking about Zheng Hong.

Zheng Hong's attitude towards Gu Chen, as well as his connection with Gu's family, are things that make Liu Yuan extremely puzzled.

If Zheng Hong was really familiar with the Gu family, why was he so suspicious of Gu Chen when he was in Dan'an City?
And if Zheng Hong is really the kind of person who is not afraid of power and will investigate the suspects to the end, then why does he let Liu Yuan and Gu Chen make friends at this time?

If he was that kind of person, Zheng Hong shouldn't be looking for Gu Zhizhou at this moment.

Liu Yuan knew Zheng Hong and was absorbed into Pinghu Division by Zheng Hong. He thought he knew Zheng Hong very well, but now... Liu Yuan felt that Zheng Hong was a little strange.

He couldn't see clearly what kind of person Zheng Hong was.

……

Holding an umbrella, Zheng Hong came all the way to Zhizhou Mansion.

Although Gu Chengli, the magistrate of Ningzhou, was born in the Gu family, but he is the magistrate of Ningzhou at the moment, so he can't live in the mansion of the Gu family, but wants to live in the magistrate's mansion that belongs to him.

Therefore, Gu Chengli and Gu's family lived separately, and in order to avoid suspicion, they were separated by a long distance.

Zheng Hong walked to the backyard of Zhizhou Mansion, was led in by a young man at the back door, and then waited in the main hall.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, a middle-aged man with a beard on his chin and wearing a scarlet robe walked in.

Seeing this, Zheng Hong immediately stood up to greet him:

"Pinghu Division is on patrol to arrest Zheng Hong, and pay homage to Mr. Zhizhou."

"Okay, it's just the two of us here, don't be so formal."

Gu Chengli, the magistrate of Ningzhou, waved his hand to Zheng Hong, then sat casually on the main seat and asked:
"What are you doing here at this time? Are you afraid that the girl from the Bai family will trouble you?"

Zheng Hong suddenly smiled when he heard this, and said:

"Master Bai is probably already going to place Mr. Gu Qianchen, so he probably has no time to trouble me."

"Gu Qianchen? Oh, the adopted son of the fourth brother."

Gu Chengli remembered something, looked at Zheng Hong again, and asked, "Are you here for him?"

Gu Chen arrived in Ningzhou City today and stayed in the Gu Mansion. Gu Chengli knew about this, and he even sent someone to deliver a gift.

It stands to reason that with Gu Chengli's identity, there is no need to pay attention to a collateral illegitimate son, even if this guy is now his nephew in name, Gu Chengli shouldn't care too much.

But the people who couldn't help but pay attention to Gu Chen were very important, so Gu Chengli had to say something, after all, they were all from the Gu family.

As soon as Gu Chen entered the city, Zheng Hong rushed over despite the rain... Although it has been raining these days, even if Zheng Hong has something important to do, there is no need to rush at this moment, after all, Gu Chengli is not Zheng Hong's direct superior.

So now that Zheng Hong came over and mentioned Gu Chen, it must be for Gu Chen.

To Gu Chengli, Zheng Hong did not hide anything, nodded and said:
"Yes, I still doubt him."

"You suspect that he is involved in the case of Dan'an's Gu family extermination."

Gu Chengli saw what Zheng Hong was thinking, and said slowly.

Zheng Hong nodded and said:
"Yes, the more I thought about it afterwards, the more I felt that something was wrong. It just happened to be such a coincidence that he was the only one alive. It just happened to be such a coincidence that all the people or things related to him disappeared.

"The demon girl Zitong, the owner of the Feiyan knife, and even the Tao family and the Zhen family who have something to do with him, this..."

Zheng Hong expressed his worries, but was interrupted by Gu Chengli:
"No matter how much you say, it's just suspicion, and for me, what does it matter to me if the sidelines are destroyed or even something happened to those small families in Dan'an? Zheng Xunbu, if you really have nothing to do, You can check the abnormal rain instead of focusing on Gu Ningshun."

"Master Gu, Yu Gong, there is still no result in Dan'an Gu's family extermination case. I need to find out a result. Yu private..."

When Zheng Hong said this, he looked up at Gu Chengli.

"Master Gu, this Young Master Gu Ningshun is the one who pays attention to it. It can be seen that he will definitely come into contact with that matter in the future. If you don't investigate the matter of this Young Master clearly, will you rest assured?"

Gu Chengli paused while drinking tea. He put down the teacup, pondered carefully, and then turned his head to look at Zheng Hong:

"It doesn't matter if I don't worry about it, the important thing is that he can rest assured."

"If that one is not at ease?"

Gu Chengli was silent again. He stroked his mustache and thought for a long time, and finally let out a sigh of relief:
"It's a critical juncture right now, don't make extra troubles..."

"We're just investigating. If Mr. Ningshun really has no other purpose, then I won't pursue this matter any further."

Zheng Hong said so.

Gu Chengli sighed and said:

"Okay, since that's the case, let Jiang Wen come back. He is Gu Chengping's son. If Ning Shun really has any problems, he will definitely not let Jiang Wen go."

Gu Jiangwen, Gu Chen's half-brother, is currently studying in an academy in the capital and is preparing for the coming spring.

In order for Gu Jiangwen to study with peace of mind, he never told Gu Jiangwen about such a big event in Dan'an City, and Gu Chen organized the entire funeral of Gu's family in Dan'an.

But now, in order to confirm Gu Chen's problem, Gu Chengli had to let Gu Jiangwen come back.

Compared with Gu Chen's affairs, a mere year of Chun Wei is nothing.

……

Staying in the small courtyard that the Gu family arranged for him, Gu Chen let out a breath slowly.

After being on the road for so long, he finally settled down now. Next, Gu Chen only hoped that there would be no more troubles. Winter was coming soon, and Gu Chen wanted to spend this winter safely.

When he came to the Gu family's home in Ningzhou, Gu Chen realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Perhaps it was because of the inscription given to him by a certain important figure in the court, the whole Gu family respected Gu Chen very much, and this was when Gu Chen had no ability to use it.

There are a few guys who are very hostile to Gu Chen, and they are all young boys and girls. They seem to be the young masters and ladies of the Gu family, and they feel that Gu Chen has come and taken away their interests.

But under the influence of Gu Chen's ability, these people were also quickly dealt with by Gu Chen. Several people shouted from brother to brother, allowing Gu Chen to experience a 'family warmth'.

After finally being free, Gu Chen also had the opportunity to reorganize his own strength.

At present, apart from superpowers and powers, Gu Chen's only means of attack is the breath of flowers.

After Gu Chen practiced for so long, the breath of flowers [Complete Concentration·Chang Zhong] can also maintain the breathing technique all the time, officially reaching the level of Zhu.

Next, if you want to advance further, you need to activate [zebra pattern] and master [transparent world].

Of these two things, one can greatly improve a person's physical fitness, and the other can be regarded as a kind of clairvoyance ability, which is only for the clairvoyance ability of living things.

Zebra and Gu Chen don't think about it, after all, according to the setting in the original book, if there is no accident after this thing is opened, the person who opens it can live up to 25 years old.

Gu Chen is such a life-saving person, he would not use his life to grasp something that has not had much effect when it is improved.

Therefore, without becoming a ghost, mastering the transparent world has become Gu Chen's goal now.

The transparent world is a special state in the world of Demon Slayer: Blade. People who open the transparent world can restrain all their "Qi", predict the opponent's actions in advance, and even "see" every part of the opponent's body. Blood vessels, and all that blood flows.

It is also easy to 'see' the operation of the breathing method through the ups and downs of the lungs.

After mastering this ability, Gu Chen's strength will be improved step by step, even if it can't reach the level of Hei Si Mou, at least it can be compared to the string ghost of Twelve Ghost Moons in the original book.
