The prison was kept tightly guarded inside and outside, but after Chen Zhi reported his name, he immediately unobstructed, which made him sigh at the convenience of the privileges of the aristocratic family.

"Even such a serious criminal cell can be unobstructed by saying hello in advance. The power of this aristocratic family is really amazing."

Despite this, there were still two steps along the way. In addition to Zhou Tian, ​​two prisoners followed Chen Zhi, accompanied him to see the confiscation, and then went to the deepest part of the cell, in the most closely guarded prison.

Chen Zhi noticed that the cells along the way were all empty. Of course, this was not because no one committed a crime, but to reduce variables, the rest of the criminals were all transferred to other places to be detained.

At this time, only the thieves involved in the Zhuge case were locked in the prison.

The prison head was walking and laughing, "Junzi Chen, the thief is cruel, his mouth is very tight, and his nature is hard to tame. Don't be too close to you. If you want to ask questions, you can let the prison work and do not dirty your hands."

In this and beyond, Chen Zhi was completely regarded as a family seeking excitement, and just came to take a walk.

They also knew that Chen Zhi showed his strength that day and killed the thieves, but martial arts and torture were different things, not to mention that sometimes, the results could be obtained by just torture. Therefore, they did not think that Chen Zhi could gain anything, but just thought that he was accompanying him for a walk.

While I was talking, I had already arrived at the place.

Several thieves with high martial arts were shackled and handcuffed. Not only did they look pale, but they also had traces of being punished, but they were all very shallow.

From the complexion of several people, it can be seen that although they were caught for a few days and interrogated several times, they did not hurt their muscles or their lives. When Chen Zhi came, several people looked over in the voice, their eyes were bright.

"So it's you!"

Seeing Chen Zhi's appearance clearly, these people showed a ferocious look through the railings. The two closest to them even stood up and tried to reach out and grab Chen Zhi.

These thieves also knew that they could not catch people. The reason for their behavior was to show their courage and intimidate Chen Zhi.

"Bold! Go back to me!" When the prison chief saw it, he was furious, took out an iron rod and knocked it over, forcing the thieves back, then turned around and smiled, "Master Chen, the thief is rude, if you hit you, I will definitely punish them heavily!"

"Oh!"

As soon as the prison chief finished speaking, a thief sneered. The man had a scar on his face and had a bald head. He heard him say, "Do you dare to punish us? Don't think I don't know. If the people from the court don't come, how dare you kill us, and the one named Chen..."

The man stepped forward two steps and came to the railing, showing a cruel grin: "I know you, you killed Wang Mi, don't be proud, you will be in trouble sooner or later!"

When the prisoner heard this, he felt angry. He was both impressed and afraid that Chen Zhi would blame him, so he was determined to rebuke him.

But before they could speak, Chen Zhi suddenly said, "You have such a good understanding, and it is not an ordinary thief."

The thief in the prison was slightly stunned, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What do you mean?"

Chen Zhi also laughed and said, "Do you know that what happened just now has exposed your origin?" He followed a few steps forward.

Zhou Tian was stunned and followed and advised: "Nephew, the thief is cruel and should not be approached. He will be pulled to the open room later and take out the torture instruments to greet him. It is not too late to interrogate him." He didn't think Chen Zhi could gain something, so he planned to have someone interrogate him. Chen Zhi listened and walked through the motions.

Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry. This man is so stupid. Before I could speak, he had confessed. How could he still need torture instruments?"

As soon as this said, Zhou Tian was certainly confused, the bald thief sneered, "I'm stupid? I'm even confessing? It's a joke! If you ask the waste from there, you want to ask for information from me, you can't think of it. I advise you not to waste your time. This kind of thing is not something that a young man like you can do."

"Do you think that only those who say it clearly are confessions?" Chen Zhi shook his head and pointed at the bald thief, "What did you say just now? You said that I killed Wang Mi. The thieves under Wang Mi called him the "master's boss". The most important time, they were brothers. A few of them called you the name of this? Moreover, Wang Mi was awarded the head and the thief army was scattered. Why would I be in trouble sooner or later? Who came to me? How do you know?"

After a few words, the bald thief jumped.

Zhou Tian's expression also changed slightly, and his eyes at Chen Zhi changed a little.

Chen Zhi continued: "This means that at least there is an organization that will cause trouble for me. The word "morning and evening" is very interesting. It represents time. There is some information hidden behind it, such as making plans and choosing a time to take action. The thief army is scattered. How can there be organizations that plan and retaliate unless..."

He looked up at the thieves.

"You are not Wang Mi's subordinates, they come from other forces. This can be seen from your position. You are divided into two camps with these three people. You are not familiar with each other, and you can see the difference between them. You can see the location, details, and eyes."

Chen Zhi pointed at the three people in a corner of the prison, two of whom were the ones who besieged Zhao Xing and Guan Xian.

"Whatever you want!" The bald thief just snorted coldly, but Chen Zhi had an answer from this person's expression and eyes.

Zhou Tian also saw some signs, and even the two prisoners were shocked and suspicious.

Chen Zhi said again: "I have seen your weapons and armor. The soft skin of the armor includes wild boars and wild deer skins, and the corner decorations are bone tools, stone horns, and horn teeth. As far as I know, the Central Plains leather armor is not such a structural ornament. However, the northern tribes often produce such ornaments and like this. And your long swords also have strange features. Although the smelting method used is a stacking technique, it is lacking in details. It is not learned by regular means. It should be learned by stealth. The buckle at the tail of the knife is slightly narrow, not like the shape of the Central Plains. All signs are not enough to explain the origin?"

When Chen Zhi spoke, his eyes were fixed on the faces of several thieves. He noticed that although they were determined to control their expressions, there was still a look of shock and surprise flashing in his eyes, and his heart suddenly became sank.

Really a foreigner?

For various reasons, the level of the four ethnic groups at this time was more profound than in history, and the costumes and behaviors of many alien races were almost the same as those of the people in Middle Earth.

In addition to the wars in the north, forces such as Cao Wei, Yuan Zhao moved to the Central Plains one after another to increase the population. Many tribes lived in the Central Plains for a hundred years and had several generations. For these people, the land under their feet had long become their hometown.

For example, the territory occupied by the Xiongnu Liu Yuan in rebellion was not the grassland, but the land of Bingzhou, because the Xiongnu tribes were rooted in their territory for a long time.

"If it really matters to the alien race, then the problem is a bit complicated. What is the legitimate son of the Wuxiang Marquis sent by the alien race? What is the purpose? Why is the new Han Dynasty also a unified dynasty? The situation is different. What is the point of killing a noble heir alone?"

Chen Zhi thought, and looked at the men in prison who were no different from those of the Middle-earth people and began to ponder.

"However, as a unified dynasty, the New Han Dynasty immediately quelled in the face of local rebellion? It seems that there is still some development in this rebellious area? Well, right, it is impossible to unify the dynasty once and for all. As long as the times develop, there will always be problems. Otherwise, there will be no dynasty rotation, and there will be problems in the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The unified dynasty is also inevitable..."

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Tian next to him heard what Chen Zhi said, suddenly said: "So that's it. No wonder you have to look at the confiscated items first. It turns out that you are judging the origin from this. It's really well-known, but... are these people just?"

Afterwards, he didn't dare to say it clearly. If it was the same as the guess, the matter would be complicated.

The two prisoners looked even more unrelated and did not dare to speak out, but there was a hint of awe in their eyes when they looked at Chen Zhi.

On the other side, the bald thief was shocked and quickly calmed down, snorted coldly: "What are you talking nonsense, I'm too lazy to listen!" After saying that, he turned around and returned to a corner of the cell, but he was unwilling to speak again. His eyes were full of scruples when he looked at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi simply stopped asking and gave Zhou Tian a wink. The latter was thinking about Chen Zhi's words, but he was a little surprised and confused. When he saw Chen Zhi's actions, he immediately put aside his thoughts.

"Have you finished asking?" He tried to ask, "If you finish asking, then let's leave as soon as possible. This place is a place to be violated and should not stay for a long time." Zhou Tian was already in trouble, but he was unwilling to have trouble. He didn't want to know the secrets of these thieves at all, so he was determined to urge him.

Chen Zhi nodded. This question should not be in-depth, otherwise it would be involved. Just know a rough idea. Be careful so that you won’t be blinded.

"I don't have enough foundation now, so it's not a good thing to get involved too early, but I know that it's related to alien races, and at least it can be arranged in a targeted manner. However, there is still something strange about this. alien races will not be rampant in the middle of the journey. Perhaps there is still the possibility of internal people colluding with them, so I have to make more preparations and be prepared for everything."

After making up his mind, he naturally would not stay here. After thanking the prison head, he left with Zhou Tian. The two prison heads respectfully sent Chen Zhi out. Their respect was different from when Chen Zhi came, and they had a little from the heart.

Chen Zhi left the prison and walked while thinking about the meaning behind it. Suddenly, his heart moved, wondering if this matter would be related to the disaster.

"If the forces behind these people can be wiped out, can the disaster be eradicated once and for all?"

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Tian suddenly spoke out, interrupting his thoughts

"Nephew..." Zhou Tian asked carefully, "I was in prison just now. I heard what you meant. Could it be that these people were Hu people?" His expression was gloomy and he knew it was of great importance.

The thief in prison is related to the Zhuge family. If Hu people are involved again, the problem will be complicated. If they know about it, they may cause trouble.

Chen Zhi knew his concerns and turned around and smiled, "This matter is left to the imperial envoy for a headache. Didn't the thief say nothing just now?"

"Ah? Yes! He didn't say anything." Zhou Tian immediately felt relieved. As he walked, he left the yamen. He hesitated for a while, but he stopped talking, but he was unable to speak in the end.

Finally, Chen Zhi asked, "Uncle Zhou has anything to say."

Zhou Tian blushed and said, "To be honest, it's because I have something to ask for, but because my position is unstable. Someone breathes me out and says that it may be taken away in a few days. Can the nephew tell me about it? I know you have a good relationship with the county magistrate and the county magistrate..." He quickly added, "Of course it's not trouble them, it's better to just get angry with Mr. Chen Ba. If it really doesn't work, then forget it..."

Chen Zhiqi said: "That day, you have made great efforts to encircle Wang Mi, Uncle Zhou, why would you want to take your position?"

"well!"

Zhou Tian sighed and explained.

It turned out that his position of wandering had been targeted by someone. On that day, Chen Bian said that he would ask him to help him keep an eye on Xu Fang, and that Zhou Tian's position was unstable and that he would be invalid if he didn't need it. This is one of the manifestations.

Later, Chen Zhi rose and the Chen family was stable. Zhou Tian relied on the Chen family's relationship to settle down again. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Although Wang Mi's disaster was based on the contribution of siege, it was the trump card of the county magistrate and county magistrate. When it fell to the grassroots, a few people had to be removed as scapegoats.

The man who had already seen the position last week exert his strength again, which made this Youzi unlucky again.

After hearing the explanation, Chen Zhi asked, "So that's the case. I wonder what excuse I used to remove Uncle Zhou from his position? I can't just get rid of his position for no reason, right?"

Zhou Tian said with anger: "What else can I do? Isn't it just that the case is not good? There are so many cases in this yamen, so I will just hold me and not let go!"

Chen Zhi probably understood that Zhou Tian had helped him this time, and he always remembered the favor. The other party asked to come to the door this time, but Chen Zhi had no reason to ignore it, so he said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhou, leave this matter to me."

Zhou Tian was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, nephew! Thank you!"

……………………

"Chen Zhi went to see the thief offense?"

At noon, when Chen Zhizhuo saw the news of the thief, he came to Wobing Tower. A group of young celebrities from aristocratic families gathered together to discuss.

"What's the matter when he went to prison?" Tao Ya sat upright and asked the person who reported the news. The man shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Does Chen Zhi feel that his reputation is not enough and he wants to go to the next level?" Wei Ou was puzzled and said that Chen Zhi had a bad tone.

Just as Wang Mi said, some things were grateful at the time, but when they thought about it, they often didn't taste that way. Moreover, everyone wanted to gain a reputation before Wang Mi died, but in the end they were useless. All the benefits were taken by Chen Zhi. Apart from embarrassing and frightened, they only got the wounds on their bodies, so they naturally had complaints.

Wang Mi is dead, and it is inevitable that Chen Zhi will take his anger.

Tao Ya shook his head and said, "From Chen Zhi's actions, he is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. He gave up his credit to Junjun Xu. Why should he beat the thief? I guess there is something else."

Wei Ou said, "Chen Zhiqian, have you ever been willing to do so? Because of his reason, our reputation is hard to make up. When he goes to see the thief, he may have any plans and cannot be underestimated. Maybe it is an opportunity."

"So what if you are unwilling to give up?" Nanyang Pangxiang glanced at him, "No matter what, Chen Zhi saved me. He has this name, so I can't do something ridiculous. Otherwise, how do people think of us? Instead of plotting against Chen Zhi, it is better to think about how to deal with the imperial envoy. If one does not respond well, his reputation will be even worse."

Several people were still talking, and suddenly a servant came over in panic. When they saw everyone, they bowed and said, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, then... the special envoy of the court has arrived!"

"What?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
