Chapter 120 Receive the bounty and meet the county guard

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground to become their disciples, Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled: "You two get up first."

"No, if you don't accept us as your disciples, then we won't get up." Big Eyed Damp said very stubbornly.

"Yes!" Er Qiangzi also said.

"It's impossible to accept you as my disciples. Even if you kneel and die here, it won't change." Zhao Ya said calmly.

Hearing this, the faces of Big Eyed Lantern and Er Qiangzi showed disappointment.

"But I can teach you some self-defense martial arts first. If you can really achieve something in the future, I can't accept you as my disciple." Zhao Ya said.

Big Eyed Lantern and Er Qiangzi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This result was beyond what they dared to ask for, so they kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhao Ya waved his hand to signal them all to stand up, and then took out more than twenty taels of silver.

"With how skinny you are now, you may not be able to complete a set of punches before you have to lie down from exhaustion. With this money, you can buy some rice, noodles and meat to eat, and take care of your body first."

The big-eyed lantern refused to answer, "Master Zhao, you have already given me one hundred taels of silver before, how can I still ask for it from you?"

"That's what you deserve, it's extra, and this money is not just for you two. Don't you have many little brothers? Then buy more things so that your little brothers can also Eat a few full meals, including at home." Zhao Ya instructed.

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Big Eyed Deng and Er Qiangzi just took over the money.

"Go ahead, take care of your health first, and use the remaining money to buy some clothes. Come to Ping'an Fang to see me when you feel strong."

With tears in their eyes, the two of them nodded solemnly, and then left.

Looking at the backs of these two children, Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He really couldn't accept these two children as his disciples.

First of all, it's because they are still too young. Even though this big-eyed lantern is quite methodical in doing things, he is actually only nine years old this year. The second strongman is even younger, eight years old at most this year.

How can you practice martial arts with yourself at this age?

The second and most important reason is that without the support of family background, the flesh and blood they need to practice martial arts is a problem.

If you don't even have enough to eat, how can you afford the massive consumption of flesh and blood during martial arts training?

Zhao Ya can help at the beginning, but what about later?

You must know that even Zhao Ya himself has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he have the power to help them?

This is also the reason why classes in this world are so solidified.

It is extremely difficult for children from ordinary families to get ahead through martial arts.

Not to mention anything else, just the consumption of the flesh and blood of alien beasts can directly bankrupt an ordinary family.

However, rich families have no scruples in this regard. They can eat dried meat from exotic animals as they like, hire famous teachers for guidance, or simply spend a lot of money to join a large martial arts sect. In this way, the gap is not limited to Yunni.

Even Zhao Ya himself might still be a bodyguard in the escort agency today if it weren't for the blessing of Golden Finger, and he wouldn't even be able to break through to the second level.

However, although he could not accept these two people as his disciples, Zhao Ya decided to help them within his ability.

This was not just out of good intentions, but more importantly, through the arrest of Jade Butterfly, Zhao Ya found that it was extremely efficient to use these children to find out information.

After all, no matter how cautious Lao Jianghu is, he will not deliberately be wary of these seven, eight or nine-year-old children.

At this time, Zhao Ya searched Lu Jicheng's residence again, but found nothing.

Not to mention gold, not even a golden hair was seen.

Zhao Ya was not surprised by this.

If Lu Jicheng had not lied, he would certainly not have put the gold in his residence.

Instead, place it in a hidden foothold for escape in case of emergencies.

As for where this hidden foothold is, only Lu Jicheng himself knows.

Zhao Ya left Tongyifang and returned home.

Although the rain was much lighter at this time, it was still pouring down, but Zhao Ya's home was very lively.

Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng, Xu De, even Meng Shiwen and Shi Qingqing were there.

Before leaving, Zhao Ya asked Zui'er to inform Miao Shaocheng and the others that he was going to catch the jade butterfly.

After hearing the news, they rushed over immediately.

Miao Shaocheng even clamored several times to help, but had no choice but to give up because he didn't know where Zhao Ya had gone.

So when Zhao Ya came back, Miao Shaocheng couldn't wait to ask: "How was it?"

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.

Zhao Ya smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

After hearing this, the whole place was in commotion.

Miao Shaocheng even scratched his head and asked, "What's going on? How did you find the jade butterfly? Tell everyone!"

So Zhao Ya told what happened.

When he heard that Zhao Ya actually found another way, he first narrowed down the suspects through the lines and footprints of the jade butterfly.

Then he inquired about the information through a group of children and successfully targeted Nalu Jicheng and captured him at home.

Finally, he used words to break through his psychological defense and made him admit his identity in front of all the government agents. Miao Shaocheng couldn't help but slap his thigh.

"Awesome, awesome, why didn't I think of that!"

Xu De smiled and said: "There are many things you didn't expect."

Shen Dao even sincerely praised him: "Fourth junior brother is really resourceful and resourceful, I am far behind."

Even Meng Shiwen's eyes looking at Zhao Ya became much softer.

At this moment, Shi Qingqing walked up to Zhao Ya and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, for avenging Aunt Xue and bringing the murderer to justice."

Although Shi Qingqing is older than Zhao Ya in terms of age, she has always called people at Dingtai Martial Arts School senior.

Zhao Ya hurriedly returned the courtesy, "You're so polite, Shi. This is just what martial arts practitioners like us should do."

"No, this is not polite, but my sincere gratitude. Without Senior Brother Zhao, not only Aunt Xue would be filled with hatred in heaven, but also other women who were harmed by Lu Jicheng would be wronged." Shi Qingqing said seriously.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Miao Shaocheng was even more excited and suggested having a few drinks to celebrate.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone suddenly agreed.

It was already getting late and it was raining outside, so I cooked a few simple dishes at Zhao Ya's home.

The wine was temporarily sent by Xu Deming's men. Although it was not as good as Feixianju's Feixianjiang, it was still quite good.

Everyone had a great time enjoying this meal.

Miao Shaocheng even asked Zhao Ya how he came up with these methods.

Zhao Ya could only smile helplessly at this.

He can't say that he learned this from watching criminal investigation documentaries in another world.

So I can only find excuses to deal with it.

Late at night, the wine was gone and everyone dispersed.

Zui'er had already gone to bed after clearing the rest of the table.

After Zhao Ya sobered up a little, he took out a piece of dried golden-spotted black eel and swallowed it, and then started practicing.

He just took a King Kong Dali Pill the day before yesterday, and now he still has plenty of energy and blood in his body.

Coupled with the blessing of this golden-spotted black eel stem, the effect of Zhao Ya's practice is very obvious.

In particular, the liver unlocking progress finally exceeded the 90% mark, reaching 91%.

Zhao Ya estimated that if there was a sufficient supply of flesh and blood, it would not take long for him to completely unlock the liver.

After catching Jade Butterfly Lu Jicheng, Zhao Ya believed that at least for a period of time in the future, he would no longer have to worry about money.

Early the next morning, head catcher Du Hu came to Zhao Ya's residence.

When he saw Zhao Ya, Du Hu was all smiles.

"Master Zhao, congratulations. After we went back last night, all the people named Lu were recruited. The Sheriff is very happy and sent me specially to invite you over."

Zhao Ya was not surprised by this.

After all, if vicious criminals like Jade Butterfly are not eliminated, it will put a lot of pressure on the county guard and the entire government.

Zhao Ya nodded, "Then let's go."

After following Du Hu to the government office, he saw many people gathered at the door of the government office.

People were talking a lot about Jade Butterfly being caught.

"Damn, I really didn't expect that the Jade Butterfly who killed so many women would actually be a lame old man."

"I heard that this guy is also the concierge of Chenfeng Martial Arts School. Does this matter have anything to do with Chenfeng Martial Arts School?"

"Shh, you don't want your life. Are you allowed to say such nonsense?"

"Look, look, people are coming!"

Someone noticed Zhao Ya following Du Hu on the street in the distance and quickly reminded him.

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Zhao Ya.

When they saw that the legendary Zhao Ya was actually a young and handsome boy, many people had a look of surprise on their faces and started talking in low voices.

"Oh my god, are you so young? He looks at least eighteen or nineteen years old."

"Looking at the power in his movements, he is at the peak of the three realms at the very least. Plus he is so young. It seems that Dingtai Martial Arts School is about to produce another famous figure."

Of course, there is also the acidic vinegar.

"Tsk, tsk, these days, practicing is really not as good as playing. If you can play so well at such a young age, isn't Dingtai Martial Arts afraid of something happening?"

"Let's go, let's go. What kind of great person did I think this is?"

Zhao Ya pretended not to hear all these comments of praise or criticism.

At this time, some government officials dispersed the crowd at the door, and then Zhao Ya followed Du Hu into the government office.

Instead of entering the lobby, he came to the inner study room at the back.

This also represents the importance the county guard attaches to Zhao Ya.

Because generally only important guests or close friends and relatives are allowed into the study to meet each other.

When he walked in, Shang Jingchuan, the governor of Yunxiao County, was already waiting here.

This was the first time Zhao Ya met the governor of Yunxiao County.

I saw him wearing casual clothes, about forty years old, with a fair complexion, a wisp of beard on his chin, and he looked gentle and gentle.

However, Zhao Ya could clearly feel the power of Qi and blood in this Commander Shang.

He is actually a third-level warrior.

It can be seen that in Dayan, even a civil servant must have good strength in martial arts, otherwise he will not be able to control the situation at all.

After all, there is a huge difference in strength between ordinary people and warriors in this world. If you are really powerless, it will be impossible for your warriors to obey orders.

"Zhao Ya, I've met the county guard!"

Although he was the nominally highest official in Yunxiao County, Zhao Ya only gave a simple fist-cup salute.

Shang Jingchuan didn't care about this. Instead, he laughed and walked forward, reaching out and patting Zhao Ya on the shoulder.

"Okay, it turns out that a hero comes from a boy, he is really super capable!"

"Your Excellency the Sheriff, thank you very much. I'm just lucky. It happened by chance."

"Why be so modest? Thinking that Jade Butterfly has been doing evil for many years, and there are many famous old detectives in the government office who can't find any clues about him. Young Master Zhao found out the culprit in one move. What is this if not ability?"

Shang Jingchuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Someone, bring it up."

Someone brought a tray with a stack of gold tickets.

Shang Jingchuan picked up the golden ticket and handed it to Zhao Ya.

"This is a golden ticket of eight hundred taels, which is the bounty for catching Jade Butterfly this time. In addition, I will personally reward you with another one hundred taels. Don't refuse. This is purely out of my personal gratitude. After all, the Jade Butterfly If it is not removed, I will not be able to live in peace for a day." Shang Jingchuan sighed.

Several major cases committed by Jade Butterfly were related to the wealthy families in the county. Therefore, these wealthy families have been putting pressure on the government, giving Shang Jingchuan a headache.

Zhao Ya didn't refuse after hearing this. After thanking him, he put the gold ticket in his arms.

Then Shang Jingchuan laughed and chatted with Zhao Ya.

At this moment, someone reported outside.

"Sir, people from the five major families outside want to see you."

"Let them in."

"yes!"

After a while, a group of people walked into the study. The man in the lead bowed to Shang Jingchuan first, and then looked at Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.

"This must be Young Master Zhao Ya, Zhao Ya. I am entrusted by my master and several other gentlemen, so I come here to express my gratitude."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of gold tickets.

"This is 600 taels of gold, of which 500 taels are the reward amount, and the remaining 100 taels are the extra gratitude to Young Master Zhao from the head of my family and all the masters. Please accept it."

This is what Zhao Ya deserves, so naturally he will not refuse.

After Zhao Ya accepted it, the man laughed and chatted for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

After the group of people left, Shang Jingchuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiao Ya, you are so young and can achieve such achievements. It is really amazing. I believe that after today, your name will be spread throughout the county."

Now Shang Jingchuan no longer calls him Zhao Shaoxia, but directly calls him Xiaoya, which seems quite close.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, he just kept nodding and smiling, but he was thinking about how to say goodbye and leave.

At this moment, a police officer hurried to the study to report.

"Sir, Lu Jicheng suddenly made a noise in the prison. He kept saying that he wanted to see Zhao Shaoxia, and said that if he could not see him, he would not confess the crime."

Shang Jingchuan's face darkened when he heard this, "Damn, you can't handle such a small thing. Why should you be polite to such a person? If he doesn't confess, then he will be punished."

The head catcher looked embarrassed, "But we have already used all the torture instruments. If we use them again, we are afraid that he will not be able to survive the execution."

"I'll go!" Zhao Ya stood up and said.
