From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zheng Yi hid at the back of the crowd.

There were two taller miners next to him, so he thought he wouldn't stand out too much.

However, he didn't expect that the other party would still notice something was wrong.

He pretended to stand up, forced a smile, and walked towards the special envoy.

But the other party said angrily: "Who told you to stand up? Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm talking about you, not you!"

Although it sounded a bit confusing, Zheng Yi understood that the other party was talking about another person.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, trembled in fear, looked as if he was frightened, and staggered to his knees again.

Of course, Zheng Yi actually just bent his legs. Now he really had no way to kneel down to such a guy.

Zhou Kunshan, who was beside Zheng Yi, said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, are you calling me?"

"Yes, come here." Zhou Kunshan stood up quickly and walked quickly towards the special envoy.

Not only Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Tianming also breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows, when Zheng Yi was ordering people around at the special party just now, Zhao Tianming's heart almost stopped beating several times.

If that guy named Zheng Yi really comes over, he won't be able to hide his aura at all, okay?
By then, I'm afraid everything will be exposed.

Fortunately, the special envoy really didn't seem to have much interest in Zheng Yi.

Before Zhou Kunshan left, Zheng Yi quickly sent him a message: "As long as it does not threaten your life, no matter what he asks, you must agree first."

Zhou Kunshan nodded imperceptibly, walked to the Special Envoy in two steps, and knelt down firmly: "I greet the Special Envoy."

"Oh." The special commissioner's eyebrows twitched twice, his eyes were almost invisible because of the fat, "You are very good."

"I still lack a person who is familiar with the situation. Before I leave, you should stay with me and obey my orders."

Zhou Kunshan was naturally unwilling to do so. Unfortunately, he had no room to refuse the other party's request.

Not to mention that Zheng Yi had reminded him before, even if Zheng Yi had not reminded him, he would never be able to say no to this person's request.

Although the other party is not a real member of the Zhao family, just based on his surname Zhao, this person's status is definitely not low.

In this Cang Yan world, most people would not refuse the request of someone of his status.

Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and he was unable to respond to the special envoy's words for a moment.

The special envoy saw that Zhou Kunshan had no reaction for a long time, and his face suddenly became a little ugly. He said in a shrill voice: "Since you don't want to, then just treat it as..."

Zhou Kunshan secretly blamed himself, wondering what he was thinking about just now.

So he kowtowed hard, making the bluestone floor clang loudly: "Yes... I am willing to stay with you, sir. I was just very happy just now, sir, please don't take it to heart."

His "sincere" statement finally eased the anger in the special envoy's heart.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get up. You don't have to torture yourself like this, you silly boy."

Seeing that Zhou Kunshan was still kowtowing, the special envoy's original unhappiness disappeared: "Get up, don't hurt yourself, otherwise I will have to find someone else to run errands for me."

"I told you to stop knocking, why are you still knocking? If you keep doing this, I'll really get angry."

It was only at this time that Zhou Kunshan stopped and stood up with a simple and honest face: "Sir, you don't blame me?"

If someone else had said this, the special envoy might have published it directly.

But when Zhou Kunshan said it, he just felt that this guy was so stupid that he seemed a little cute.

"You are good and do a good job. I can't do without you."

Zhou Kunshan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, sir."

His seemingly innocent appearance made the special envoy like him even more.

The special envoy admired Zhou Kunshan even more.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Kunshan, and I'm thirty-one years old this year." He not only gave his name, but also eagerly told the other party his age.

After saying this, he puffed out his chest, as if being able to tell one's age was a great thing.

"You..." The special commissioner shook his head helplessly: "From now on, just answer whatever I ask you. Don't take the initiative to say those irrelevant things. Do you understand?"

Zhou Kunshan immediately replied loudly: "I understand. I will answer whatever the special envoy asks. Don't say anything extra."

Maybe because they were welcoming the special envoy, they did not dare to eat too much meat and fish in the morning, so they ate the same thing as before.

Zhou Kunshan was used to having enough meat, rice and noodles for every meal, so now when he was asked to eat those hard-to-swallow things, he really had no appetite.

So after just one morning, I was already starving.

As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach made a rumbling sound.

Zhao Tianming took this opportunity to hurriedly say: "Special Envoy, let's not stand outside. You have come from afar, so come in early to eat something and rest."

When facing Zhao Tianming, the special commissioner returned to his expressionless look: "Let's go. By the way, prepare something for this little guy, don't let him starve."

It was not until the mine was almost closed that Zhao Tianming finally found time to meet Zheng Yi.

"Sir, I have already found out everything. This special envoy is indeed here because of the death of those children of the Zhao family."

"But they couldn't be sure that the person died here. So they investigated several places along the way before coming to our place, which is why it took so long."

Zheng Yi nodded suddenly: "So that's how it is."

He was wondering why those people from the Zhao family, if they wanted to investigate, should not have taken so long to come.

The reason is that they don't know where the person died, so they can only investigate bit by bit.

"In that case, it is very likely that those young masters just happened to pass by here while sightseeing, rather than having any business to deal with." Zheng Yi thought, stroking his chin.

When Zhao Tianming heard this, he was also secretly shocked.

He had suffered at the hands of Zheng Yi and knew what a terrible guy this man was.

But now it seems that he has underestimated the other party. Just one sentence can analyze so many things.

"Do you have any other important information? If not, you should return quickly, lest you leave for too long and arouse suspicion from the special envoy."

"This..." Zhao Tianming hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, I have already had all traces of those people wiped out."

"If they had come to investigate half a month ago, they might have found something. But now, haha..."

With Zheng Yi's promise, Zhao Tianming felt relieved for some reason: "That's good, that's good."

He and Zheng Yi are now in the same boat, and he hopes from the bottom of his heart that nothing will go wrong if possible.

Zhou Kunshan was still kept by that person, and no one knew what he was supposed to do.

It was naturally impossible for Zheng Yi to do anything that would go against his current identity and to inquire about Zhou Kunshan's whereabouts without authorization.

Although he felt a little uneasy, he had no choice but to take the people of Hewan Village back.

That night, Zheng Yi, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a barely perceptible sound. The person who came was a master, at least at the crystallization stage.

There is absolutely no way that other people in the village would be aware of the other party's existence.

This person is very good at hiding his aura.

Even Zheng Yi only realized the existence of this person when the other party made some noises unintentionally.

"They actually came to my door? Could it be that Zhou Kunshan revealed something?"

"That's unlikely. If that's the case, there must be more than just one or two people coming."

"Or did Zhou Kunshan directly betray me?"

"Wait...it still doesn't seem right."

There was too little information at hand, and even Zheng Yi could not guess the other party's intentions out of thin air.

So Zheng Yi simply pretended not to notice the other party's existence.

Continue to doze off with your eyes closed.

Although he seems defenseless, his whole body is tense and he is ready to launch a thunderous counterattack at any time.

He wanted to see what this sneaky guy was up to.

Click!

There was a sound of someone using spiritual energy to turn the door latch.

The other party also deliberately eliminated the sound, so that even in the middle of the night, the sound was so low that it was almost inaudible.

At this point, Zheng Yi can rule out the possibility that there is something wrong with Zhou Kunshan.

If Zhou Kunshan revealed his true colors, or if this guy betrayed him.

It is impossible for the other party to sneak in this way.

Because although this person was very good at hiding his aura, he was obviously a novice in other aspects. Any cultivator who practiced seriously would not be able to hide his actions just now.

Obviously, this guy also thought of him as an ordinary villager of Hewan Village.

Zheng Yi deliberately turned over, narrowed his eyes quietly, and looked in the direction of the door.

When the people outside heard the sound of him turning over, they suddenly became silent.

After waiting for a while, probably when he heard no more movement in the room, he cautiously pushed open the door.

Squeak!

The sound of the wooden door was still well hidden. Unfortunately, Zheng Yi still heard it clearly.

A thin figure slowly walked into the house.

The other party obviously did not notice Zheng Yi's gaze and started searching the house on his own.

Instead of rummaging through boxes and cabinets to look for something, he took out a jade pendant and quickly walked around the room.

Seeing that the jade pendant did not react at all, he quietly retreated and closed the door.

It seems that this jade pendant should be able to detect something.

Zheng Yi felt that it might be able to react with certain items on the Zhao family.

Fortunately, after killing the Zhao family, he did not take their belongings for himself.

These people are monks after all. Who knows what items can be used to track them?
So to be on the safe side, burn anything that can be burned.

For those that could not be burned, Zheng Yi asked Feng Haitao and others to dump them far away in the deep mountains elsewhere when the moon was dark and the wind was strong.

It is estimated that it will take a considerable amount of time for the Zhao family to find their relics.

The reason why Zheng Yi dared to do this was thanks to the two members of the Zhao family who came to find Zhao Mingtang.

The arrival of these two people revealed too much information to Zheng Yi.

Like searching.

If the Zhao family really had some kind of magical tool that could easily locate their own people remotely, these two people would not have gotten lost in the mountains around Hewan Village.

Therefore, apart from being able to determine the life and death of their own family members, even if they have a way to search, the scope will definitely not be too large.

Now, he can completely confirm his speculation.

After the searchers walked away, Zheng Yi got out of bed carefully, leaned against the wall and looked out of the window.

"As expected, there aren't that many people."

There were four figures gathered in the middle of the village. From their appearance, it was clear that the entire village had been searched almost completely.

And these people also gained nothing.

After a few whispers, they suddenly quickened their pace and quickly left the village.

Obviously, we should continue searching in the next village.

To be on the safe side, Zheng Yi did not follow them. He was not sure whether these people stayed behind to monitor him.

With his current level of cultivation, he might not be able to sense those guys who are hiding well.

If these people hadn't made the noise just now, he wouldn't even have noticed that someone had entered the village.

"It's better to have less trouble than more."

Anyway, these people didn’t find any problems in the village, so Zheng Yi simply ignored other things.

For the next few days, the mine was peaceful.

It seemed as if the special commissioner didn't care about finding someone at all. Every day he either stayed in Zhao Tianming's room drinking tea and chatting, or followed him around the mine.

It seemed as if he cared more about the mine than finding the person.

Zhao Tianming had no idea what this guy was up to, so he could only patiently try to please the special envoy.

"Damn it, what on earth does this guy want to do?" Taking advantage of the fact that the special envoy had no time to care about him, Zhao Tianming found Zheng Yi to complain.

This smiling tiger seems to have put a lot of pressure on Zhao Tianming.

Zheng Yi smiled faintly: "What else can you do? It's obvious that he is suspicious of you."

"Three members of the Zhao family died without a sound. If you were in his position, wouldn't you think it had something to do with the local forces?"

"After all, there hasn't been any uprising here this year."

"Besides them, who else could kill so many people from the Zhao family quietly?"

"You know, they are quite powerful themselves, and they have powerful guards around them. Even if they are few in number, not just anyone can kill them."

"The most important thing is that after the murder, no news was leaked out, and not a single person was left alive."

The more Zheng Yi talked, the uglier Zhao Tianming's expression became: "Damn it, this has nothing to do with me, okay." (End of this chapter)
