Chapter 123 Adding fuel to the flames, Chu Tang sets the flag

"Master Catcher, if you don't let anyone stop the rumors outside, aren't you setting me on fire?"

Chu Tang hurried to Zhuo Lien's office. There was no polite greeting. The first thing he said when he came up was to question the other party.

After a month or two of recuperation, Zhuo Lien gradually recovered from the sequelae of Tiangang's disintegration. He has regained more than half of his skills, and his overall complexion looks much better.

As if he had expected Chu Tang to ask this question, he smiled faintly and said, "Just to spread the news about you becoming famous in Shi County?"

"What else can happen? This is it!" Chu Tang looked impatient.

Having just heard Zhou Xiang say that he was famous in both black and white, Chu Tang felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

Zhou Xiang told the whole story with excitement and admiration.

It turns out that three or four days ago, a story suddenly spread among the martial arts people in the county——

The head of the Shi family in Meng County led people to search for a copy of the Five Realms Kung Fu in Shi County. They were arrogant and domineering, causing anger and resentment in Shi County.

Chu Tang, the head of the county police team, was ordered to go to Shi County to deal with him. Who would have thought that Shi Junpei, the head of the Shi family, not only did not listen to the advice, but also injured the head police officer of Shi County.

Team Chu came to question him and received a report from an insider of the Shi family, saying that their head was connected to a mysterious organization and had done many evil things.

In order to uphold the law, Chu Tang wanted to take Shi Junpei back to the county government for interrogation.

Shi Junpei never stopped doing anything, and together with the family masters, they openly resisted the arrest of the Yamen and started fighting.

And Chu Tang, with one sword and one man, not only killed the masters Shi Junpei invited to help him, but also took down all of Shi Junpei's men.

Secrets of the Five Realms, Five Realms Family.

One person and one sword, kill and capture four or five masters of the four realms...

Young hero!

All kinds of elements, as long as one or two of them come together, can shake the world, let alone all the factors gathered in one person.

Therefore, the story of Chu Tang's great display of power immediately caused a sensation in Gui County.

Martial arts schools, sects, and even gangs, all three religions and nine streams, all spread his reputation.

In fact, even restaurant storytellers took advantage of such a hot topic and made stories about his experiences at that time, adding fuel and jealousy to them and exaggerating them to the best of their ability, telling them as legends.

Some people don't believe it, some people question it, but there are also people who envy and yearn for it.

In short, in the past few days, the most popular person in the county martial arts community is Chu Tang, the young team leader of the county government.

Especially when Chu Tang escorted Shi Junpei and others all the way through the county, he was seen by someone who was interested. After a little inquiry, he heard that Chu Tang had returned from a great victory, and there were prisoners to prove it. The news spread immediately.

This time, more people believed.

For such a story, the happiest and most excited person is the county police officer.

After all, Chu Tang is theirs, and now that he is so powerful, everyone feels proud.

Especially those who were on the fast track, under the envious eyes of everyone, they raised their heads a bit when walking, looking very dignified.

This is why Zhou Xiang was so excited when he saw Chu Tang just now.

When Chu Tang heard such a story, he felt uncomfortable and a bit dumbfounded.

First he feels bad!

As a Taoist, what I hope most is to buy time and grow obscenely along the way. I can't show off, let alone attract attention.

However, he is really famous now.

Now he is only in the county town. It can be expected that soon, his reputation will spread throughout Gui County, and even spread to surrounding counties.

There is no shortage of legends in the world.

What everyone is most concerned about are all kinds of legendary stories.

A twenty-year-old detective from all over the world!

Is there anything more striking than this?

I can no longer happily pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!

From now on, let alone trying to trick others, it would be good if he doesn't let others trick him.

Over the years, the more powerful and prestigious the police officers are, the easier it is to be targeted by people in the world, especially thieves and strongmen, and many people die inexplicably.

It is not difficult to understand. The policemen work for the imperial court. In the eyes of many people in the martial arts world, they are the imperial eagles. It is not a pity to die ten times.

When they see someone who wants to deal with the police, even a white man may secretly provide some convenience.

Many of the police officers who were targeted died with their eyes open!

When Chu Tang thought about this, his head felt big and his brain ached.

In addition, he also thought of other questions——

The stories circulated in the city are generally consistent with his experiences. Even if there are discrepancies, they are one part false and nine parts true, just as if the storyteller saw it with his own eyes and witnessed the scene at that time.

Someone must be spreading this deliberately!

Chu Tang hated this and gritted his teeth. In his plan, he secretly escorted Shi Junpei and others to the county government office, handed them over to the superiors, and then let people from Zhoucheng take over. He would then ignore the flood.

But can we easily get rid of this relationship now?

So, who is actively spreading the story and pushing the rumors?

The first thing Chu Tang thought of was Shi Junfeng!

He has a motive!

This person is the protagonist in the Shixian matter, but his role is very disgraceful, and he can even be said to be a villain.

Even if he is a martial arts person, colluding with the imperial court to arrest the police is not good in itself.

Not only that, what he did was to rebel against the family leader and betray his own brother. If the news spread, he would be embarrassed and would be unable to move forward in the world.

In order to take himself out, or divert everyone's attention, Shi Junfeng took the initiative to tell stories to everyone, which is easy to understand.

If you think carefully about some details of the story, you can understand the mystery:

In the whole story, it is only said that someone from within the Shi family reported the matter, and it did not mention Shi Junfeng, the second master of the Shi family, by name. From this, we can imagine the insidiousness in it.

Then, there was the smear campaign - or Shi Chui Shi Junpei, saying that he colluded with the evil sect, committed murder and swindled goods, harmed the natural world, and placed him in the position of a villain.

And the insider who reported the matter to the Shi family became a being in darkness with a bright mind.

The most important thing is to reshape a protagonist-Chu Tang!

Making his role more positive and majestic, making him a young martial arts genius, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In short, this is outrageous and natural!

"Shi Junfeng!" Chu Tang gritted his teeth at him. He thought the matter was coming to an end, but he didn't expect to be tricked by the other party!

He is truly worthy of being the person who endured for decades and finally overthrew his own brother!

Cunning, cunning, and far-sighted are not enough to describe his city.

Another point that Chu Tang was unhappy about was that the county government did not prevent such stories from spreading.

He didn't believe that Zhuo Lien couldn't see that someone was up to something.

This was also the reason why after he took Shi Junpei and others into prison, he hurried to Zhuo Lien to question them before even having lunch.

"Captain Zhuo, you should have stopped the rumors as soon as possible. Now it will be difficult for me to carry out my work in the future!" Faced with Zhuo Lien's indifference, Chu Tang complained endlessly.

Zhuo Lien first stretched out a finger and said: "First, I am too late and I can't stop it."

Of course Chu Tang didn't believe it.

Zhuo Li'en has been a head hunter for decades, and has long since mastered his control over the three religions and disciplines in the county and city.

He could find anyone who could do it in a short time, let alone stop the spread of some rumors.

Zhuo Lien smiled bitterly and said: "Chu Tang, you really don't believe me! The other party has obviously been prepared for a long time, and has even written the story. Such stories have been spread in restaurants, gambling stalls, brothels, and even martial arts gangs at the same time. Come on, it’s not an exaggeration to say it broke out suddenly. I can block one, two, or even three points, but I can’t block everyone’s mouths!”

Well, even the reason why it is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river has come out.

Chu Tang said: "But you really didn't do anything. You just watched it spread for several days, and it even tended to get worse. Zhuo Captou, what are you planning on doing?"

Chu Tang is not stupid either. Of course he knows that if Zhuo Lien really wants to make some efforts, he can definitely control things within a smaller scope.

And Zorian did nothing.

Chu Tang even wondered if the other party was adding fuel to the fire, otherwise he would not be able to explain the admiring looks he received from so many police officers along the way.

Seeing Chu Tang's suspicious look, Zhuo Lien's face gradually became serious and said: "Chu Tang, I won't hide it from you. I did allow your affairs in Shi County to be spread."

"Why?" Chu Tang was surprised.

Zhuo Lien sighed and said, "I'm old."

Chu Tang was even more confused.

Does your old age, Zhuo Lien, have anything to do with this matter?

Zhuo Lien added: "I used the Tiangang Disintegration Technique. Even if I recover, I will not be able to return to my peak. If you are unlucky, there may still be hidden dangers."

Chu Tang frowned: "Zhuo Captou, I still can't understand."

Zhuo Lien sighed and said: "It means that I can no longer suppress the Guijun martial arts people like before. To put it bluntly, it took me, Zhuo Lien, decades to suppress the Guijun martial arts people. However, the news that I was injured must have spread out, and as I am older, those forces in the world who are ready to move around will probably think of ways to test me and test the bottom line of the Yamen."

Chu Tang said in confusion: "No matter how you say it, Zhuo Baantou, you are still in the fourth realm, not to mention that Fang Bantou is in the fourth realm!"

Zhuo Lien shook his head and said: "Fang Kai has only broken through the four realms in the past few years. In addition, I have suppressed the Guijun Jianghu in these years. There have not been many big fights. Fang Kai has not personally experienced the test of blood and fire. His prestige If it’s not enough, people won’t obey him.”

"There's me too!" Chu Tang was unconvinced.

In the entire Gui County, the organizational ceiling of all organizations is the warriors of the Four Realms. I have never heard of any force having more than two warriors of the Four Realms.

Now that there are three warriors from all four realms in the county government office, they can definitely intimidate the entire world of Gui County.

Zhuo Lien still shook his head and said with a smile: "You have only joined for a few days, and you have no prestige!"

"Prestige..." Chu Tang seemed to have some realization as he muttered. He raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhuo Li'en seriously, and spoke with difficulty, "So, Capt. Zhuo is trying to establish prestige for me?"

Zhuo Lien said: "You finally understand. For the peace of Gui County and the safety of the county government, after me, we need to set up a big flag!"

"But..." Chu Tang felt bitter in his heart. He didn't want to be this flag.

As the saying goes, the first person will die first. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. The first person will be killed with a gun!

Zhuo Lien explained: "Actually, I originally wanted Fang Kai to carry this flag. As for you... such a young warrior of the Four Realms, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you!"

Chu Tang rubbed his nose, not sure what to promise.

He knew in his heart that he could not stay in this small place like Guijun forever because he had a cheat.

The world is so big and he wants to see it.

Of course, the premise is that he has absolute strength!

Zhuo Lien added: "It's a pity that Fang Kai never waited for the opportunity. Instead, this happened to you, so I had to go along with the situation!"

Chu Tang was depressed. Sure enough, the person behind the scenes was Zhuo Lien!

Seeing Chu Tang's depressed look, Zhuo Li'en said apologetically: "Chu Tang, please forgive me for making a decision privately without communicating with you. Just think of me as selfish. I really don't want to see anything happen to Gui County." Chaos. You have also noticed, right? There is no peace in Gui County recently. Even people from the Five Realms appear frequently. I don’t know what kind of ghosts and monsters will come out to wander around in the future. "

Chu Tang responded silently.

Zhuo Lien smiled bitterly and said: "I already feel powerless, and Fang Kai can't cope with these situations. Chu Tang, you are the only one who has this ability and hope. I just hope that you can calm everyone down before a big chaos occurs, so that they don't Dare to act rashly!"

Chu Tang raised his head and said faintly: "Zhuo Captou, it is easy to set up the flag, but it is difficult to keep the flag. If you lift me high, there will be many people in Guijun Wulin who don't like me. Can they be convinced? Are you? You really put me on the fire!"

Zhuo Lien said solemnly: "Chu Tang, even Fang Kai is no match for you. If you can't control the situation, no one in the entire county can take on this important task. If our county police can't control the people quickly, not only Many people will die outside, and even our brothers are in more danger."

Chu Tang was silent, unable to refute.

It is true that if the county government loses its prestige, everyone will dare to take action against the police. If there are more fights, it is natural that more police officers will die in battle.

Seeing Zhuo Lien's solemn look, Chu Tang smiled bitterly. Not only did Zhuo Lien wear a tall hat, but he also threw a big pot over.

Can his small body withstand it?

With a sigh, Chu Tang said helplessly: "Zhuo Captou, the matter has come to this, what else can I say?"

Chief Zhuo Da really had nothing to say to him.

Not only did he value him, but he did it for the class leader as soon as he came, and he even gave him several kilograms of priceless black iron, and even wanted him to be his successor.

Such a great favor made it difficult to refuse his request.

Zhuo Lien glanced at Chu Tang and said solemnly: "If you want the horse to run fast, you must feed the grass frequently. Chu Tang, I will report to the county governor and open the county government treasury to you, whether it is Weapons, elixirs, or martial arts, you can take whatever you want!"

This commitment seems especially expensive to ordinary people.

After all, it is the gathering place of a county. It has accumulated over dozens of hundreds of years, and there should be a lot of weapons, elixirs, and martial arts.

In the past, even if Fang Kai and others wanted to get something from the county government's treasury, they had to exchange it for merit, and it was rare to get involved.

Now that Zhuo Lien had given him such a gift, if he were an ordinary person, he would have shed tears of gratitude.

However, Chu Tang tightened the magic weapon Yitian in his hand and said calmly: "To make iron, you need to be strong yourself, external objects are just icing on the cake."

"Chu Tang, I'm very happy that you have this realization." Zhuo Li'en smiled happily, then remembered something and said again, "By the way, Chu Tang, the governor told me that when you come back, let me take care of you." You go see him."

"Lord Sheriff?" Chu Tang was stunned.

It is said that he has been in the county government office for so long, but he has never met the most powerful person in the county!

Neither of them knew each other, let alone have any friendship, but the other party suddenly wanted to see him. Why?
