Chapter 43 Arrest
After kicking, the incompetent old mage moved and ran along the official road at a speed that was no less than that of Old Dao Wang.
"Old bald man, stop me."
"What's wrong with kicking you? I didn't even bother with the one you played me just now."
The old mage's figure gradually ran away, but Old Dao Wang did not chase after him. He just looked at the back of his friend with a little loneliness in his eyes and sighed.
"Senior Wang, I've said goodbye!"
Walking near to Old Taoist Wang, Bajie raised his hand and gave a big gift to the old Taoist priest.
"Okay, that old Taoist will give it to you soon."
After hugging Bajie, Old Dao Wang gently stroked the other party's bald head while speaking earnestly.
"Bajie, do you know if you want to learn to avoid eating and let yourself lose weight? I remember that before the old bald man entered the Dharma, he was a pretty master who fascinated thousands of women. But look at you... what's the thing? He was so cute when he was a child, why did he look like this bird now?"
"Hahaha~ I know Senior Wang."
Bajie was not angry about Old Dao Wang's words. He laughed and responded, then raised his hands to Chen Jin and bid farewell to each other, and then chased his master.
Looking at the backs of the two mages gradually fading away, Old Dao Wang stopped by the official road for a long time until the incompetent master and disciple completely disappeared, and then he sighed and withdrew his gaze.
"Master, the incompetent senior has known you for decades, why have you never heard you mention it before?"
"Some things are not yet time for you to know. I only hope that you can live an ordinary life now."
Chen Jin had actually guessed the answer given by his master in the morning, so he stopped asking about this topic.
The master and apprentice walked into the city one by one, and finally, they stopped in front of a morning tea shop.
After entering the shop, he ordered some food casually. Just as Chen Jin was holding a piece of pastry and stuffing it into his mouth, two officials from the government office walked in outside the morning tea shop.
Since Old Dao Wang and Chen Jin were both dressed in red, the two servants noticed them as soon as they entered the tea shop.
In the south of the city, Old Dao Wang is a sensible figure, so the two officers knew him, but they had never seen Chen Jin sitting next to the Old Dao.
He stared at Chen Jin from afar and looked up and down. Then, one of the officers opened a painting in his hand and looked at Chen Jin a few more times.
Afterwards, the officer put away the painting and walked directly towards Chen Jin.
"Child, come back to the government office with us."
The officer pointed the knife in his hand at Chen Jin and said this at the same time.
Seeing this, Old Dao Wang on the side was unhappy. He swung the chopsticks in his hand casually. The tip of the chopsticks was not tilted or oblique, and directly stabbed the officer's crotch. Then, the steel knife in the other party fell to the ground with a "clang~" and covered the bird with both hands and started to scream.
Seeing this, another officer took two steps back with tactfulness and did not come forward.
"Why should I detain my disciple? Are you not going to give me an explanation? If you don't want to give me an explanation, then kneel down and apologize to him."
After scanning the two officers who retreated aside, Old Dao Wang said this in a very unkind tone.
It's no wonder that the old Taoist priest felt a little uncomfortable just after sending off his close friend. At present, these two unopposed officers attacked Chen Jin indiscriminately.
"Master Wang, don't get angry. I am Hu San. Do you still remember it? You solved the problem of my sister two years ago."
The tactful employee retreated aside and spoke up with Old Dao Wang.
"Hu San, well, no wonder I think you look familiar. Let me tell you, why should I detain my little disciple?"
"Master Wang, we are also on orders. Don't blame us for this." After a pause, Hu San continued to explain: "This is the thing. A corpse was found in Taiping Valley Field yesterday, and later..."
After roughly explaining the story, Hu San saw that the clutch-covering officer was in a slightly better condition, and then winked at him.
"I'm too reckless. Master, don't be surprised."
Another officer quickly apologized.
Why this is the case is entirely because in their eyes, Mr. Wang is not a good person to mess with.
They can't afford to offend such people. After all, Old Dao Wang has a very famous reputation in the south of the city, and after taking action just now, he knew that his skills were not simple.
If you don’t know how to contradict it and offend such a person, you won’t even know how you died.
"The dead body of Taiping Valley Field?"
After hearing Hu San's explanation, Old Dao Wang looked at his apprentice: "Jin'er, they said you killed someone. Did you do this?"
"No, Master, don't you know? I have only been living in Gusu City for half a year. Every day, I will go to the institution to study literature, and follow you at home to learn Taoism. I occasionally stroll on the streets, so what kind of enemies will there be?"
After listening to Chen Jin's explanation, Old Dao Wang took out another pair of chopsticks from the chopstick basket on the table, picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his apprentice's bowl, and then glanced at the two officers.
"Didn't you hear it clearly? Let's go back and investigate it carefully. This is not done by my little disciple."
Seeing that the two officers had not left, Old Dao Wang said this in an impatient tone.
"Master Wang, I also believe that this matter was not done by your disciple, but look at this painting."
As he finished speaking, Hu San unfolded the painting in his hand and came to Laodao Wang, explaining: "Looking at this painting, this is a description of the witnesses in Taiping Valley Field at that time. It was painted by our Yanei painter, and it was exactly the same as your master."
After glanced at the painting that the officer got in front of him, Chen Jin found that the person in the painting was indeed very similar to him.
At this point, he only remembered the incident when he encountered Gou An and Qin Hu five days ago.
"The Taiping Valley site refers to the farmland outside the moat in the south of the city?"
"Yes, has the little master ever been to that valley ground?"
Hearing Chen Jin's question, Hu San quickly replied.
"I have been there. Five days ago, two rogues wanted to rob me of my wealth. Out of interest, I led the two to the outside of the city and gave them a small lesson, but they absolutely did not kill me."
"My little master, but the person who surrendered did not say that. He said that you wanted to kill someone to silence him. It was all his brother who dragged you down and he saved his life."
Having said that, Chen Jin could roughly understand the whole story.
"It's meaningless for me to argue with you here. Let's do this. I'll go back to the government office. You can find the thug. How about we confront each other in the hall?"
"Okay, then the little master will go back with me."
Seeing that Chen Jin was relieved, Hu San quickly responded.
Old Dao Wang, who was standing beside him, heard his apprentice’s remarks, and a hint of praise appeared in his eyes.
"Let's go in, and I will go to the government office with you."
