Martial Boss Chapter 163

As soon as he left the dungeon door, he heard Lin Fujiwara’s loud apology, “Lord Luo, Lord Bu, I’m really sorry that I couldn’t come in time to support you.

I’m sorry that I couldn’t come to your aid in time. It’s because these easterners are very clever, and they have colluded with the Zheng family, the local powerhouse in Linchuan. The head of the Zheng family personally led his men to intercept our supporters. It took a lot of effort for Lin to take them down.”

“The Zheng family?” Luo Yan raised an eyebrow, “Coincidentally, on this side of the dungeon, it was also the Zheng Family’s youngest master, Zheng Yihu, who led the way, so it seems that this Zheng Family is really determined to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. Only Zheng Yihu died of poison after being captured, I wonder where the head of this Zheng family is again?”

“Carry him up.”

With a wave of Lin Tuoyuan’s hand, his men carried up a corpse. Even though Qing Yu had already seen the portrait of the Zheng family’s master and had excellent eyesight, he dared not admit that he could recognise the body of the Zheng family’s master.

He said, “This is the corpse of the Zheng family head. I don’t know what kind of medicine the Japanese fed him, but when he stopped Lin and the others, he would rather die than retreat, risking his life to block the way of Lin and the others. Faced with such a situation, I could not stop for a while, but I was unable to leave them alive.”

Rather die than retreat? Oh ——

A cold laugh escaped from Qing Yu’s three hearts in unison. Just by looking at Zheng Yihu’s appearance, they knew that the Zheng family would never be die-hard loyal to the Eastern Japanese, or else they would not have seen that things could not be done and did not even have the intention to fight for their lives and surrendered directly.

With the son like that, it was also conceivable that the head of the Zheng family, who was a labourer, was in a state of mind towards the eastern Japanese, and loyalty was a no-brainer.

“So, the Zheng family is dead, not a single living soul has come. Even such a prestigious family as the Zheng family is so devoted to them…” Luo Yan lengthened his words, looking a bit eerie, ostensibly saying that the Easterners were superior, but in fact staring at Lin Fujiwara, the implication of each was self-explanatory.

The divine element realm is a big realm above the innate realm, and it is too much to say that the innate can be destroyed with a snap of the fingers with a lift of the hand, but if, as Lin Fujiwon said, there is no choice but to stop, that would be an exaggeration in another direction.

Even if the head of the Zheng family refused to give in, Lin Tuoyuan could have broken his limbs and destroyed his kung fu, which would have been easy for a Divine Origin expert. This would not have been easy for an expert of the Divine Origin Realm to do, but he would not have beaten the man into such a bloody mess that even someone as sharp-eyed as Qing Yu could not see the original form.

The Zheng family head had died in such a state, and Lin Teng Yuan had done it with a deadly hand, simply with the intention of putting him to death.

When he heard Luo Yan’s strange words, Lin Tuoyuan still had an unruffled expression and said with a light smile, “Naturally, the Zheng family is not dead, far from it, Zheng Tu, the second young master of the Zheng family, who is the righteous son of the Zheng family, is here.”

“Zheng Tu, come out.”

Behind Lin Teng Yuan, one of the constables from the Department Six Division of Lin Chuan Province stepped forward and saluted Luo Yan and Bu Leng Chuan respectively, “Lord Luo, Lord Bu, my name was originally Xiao Tu, but three years ago, I was adopted by the Zheng family’s master as his righteous son and changed my name to Zheng Tu. In fact, I am a constable under the command of Lord Lin Fujiwara, and was ordered to go undercover in the Zheng family to spy on the Zheng family’s collaboration with the enemy and treason.”

“Three and a half years ago, Lord Lin suspected that the Zheng family was secretly sending supplies to trade with the Japanese through their business dealings with the East China Sea. Therefore, he sent his subordinates to hide their identities and secretly infiltrate the Zheng family to investigate. After much effort, I was accepted by the head of the Zheng family as his rightful son and was able to infiltrate into the Zheng family and begin my career as a secret agent.

After three years of investigation, I have confirmed that the Zheng family has not only been engaged in smuggling transactions with the Japanese, but has also been manufacturing armaments privately and selling them to the Northern Zhou, which is a heinous crime.

Tonight, the master of the Zheng family has gone mad because his crime has been exposed and he is desperate to die with his subordinates. Because of his concern for the safety of his subordinates, Lord Lin was unable to stop for a moment, so he accidentally killed the master of the Zheng family. This is all my fault, not Lord Lin’s.”

Then, Zheng Tu, or Xiao Tu as he should be called now, told them everything that the Zheng family had done, clearly with solid evidence, and thanked Lin Tuo Yuan profusely for taking the death of the Zheng family head on himself to defend himself.

Xiao Tu’s words had cleared Lin Tuoyuan of any involvement and earned him a good reputation for being a caring person.

This should be the end of the matter, but Qingyu feels that Lin Fujiwara’s actions will not stop here. A single Xiao Tu could not easily dispel Luo Yan and Bu Leng Chuan’s suspicions of him.

This was something that Luo Yan and the others knew, and so did Lin Fujiwara. After all, Xiao Tu’s existence was all on Lin Fujiyuan’s side. Who knew if Xiao Tu was really an undercover agent sent by Department Six, or if Lin Fujiyuan had him disguised after recruiting him.

Sure enough, the next thing you know, Lin Fujiwara starts to make his move. He said with a happy face, “The Zheng family, who had colluded with the Japanese, have all been killed. In that case, let’s bring back the brothers who are watching the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce. They have worked hard these past few days, and it is time for them to rest.”

With the withdrawal of the surveillance, the suspicion of the East Sea Chamber of Commerce was removed, and with the demise of the Zheng family, it would be smooth sailing for the East Sea Chamber of Commerce to enter the Linchuan province, and to take over the Zheng family’s plate.

Luo Yan opened his mouth to object, but closed it helplessly.

This was Lin Chuan Province, Lin Tuoyuan’s territory, and Luo Yan’s words did not carry the same weight as Lin Tuoyuan’s. Moreover, in terms of position, Lin Tuoyuan was at the same level as him, and his seniority was far superior to his, so his previous subservience was just an attitude.

He said, “If that’s the case, then let’s withdraw our surveillance of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

The attackers this evening, despite their cunning, were still unable to rob the prison and only wounded one of the Eastern Ying prisoners.

Luo still needs to interrogate him more, and try to get some useful information out of him in the next few days, in case there are still fish in the Linchuan Prefecture that have slipped through the net and are taking advantage of the Zheng family’s downfall to make waves again.”

“If that is the case, then let us help Lord Luo’s heart to be fulfilled, and we will go to rest first.”

Up to this point, Lin Tuoyuan had still not revealed any obvious breakdowns, and the existing suspicions were only suspicions, with no tangible evidence.

Qing Yu stood behind Luo Yan and watched as Lin Tuoyuan led the group away.

The undercurrents in Lin Chuan House had not yet subsided, and after tonight, they had become even more raging.
