Chapter 233: Chen Zi Ya

Therefore, Guo Dagui could only think desperately, even recalling his memories from childhood to the present.

He hoped to find something that could redeem his life, or some information.

But in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly at Lin Zhangqing, indicating that he had nothing that met the conditions Lin Zhangqing had just mentioned.

Lin Zhangqing wanted to send him on his way immediately; he had no value left. However, considering that Chen Zi Ya was also here, he didn't act immediately.

He just couldn't help but roll his eyes, wasting his breath, and directly knocked Guo Dagui unconscious, putting him back into the spirit beast bracelet.

He wasn't in a hurry to release the next robber, but looked at Chen Zi Ya and said, "Junior Sister, what do you think about what Guo Dagui said just now?"

Chen Zi Ya considered it for a moment before saying, "I think what he said just now should be true; the possibility of it being a coincidence is relatively high."

"I know you suspect the Qi family, but I really can't think of any reason why the Qi family would come to trouble us again?"

"Senior Brother, have you ever thought that if we really had an accident in Qiyun Prefecture, regardless of whether it was the Qi family or not."

"They would definitely be in big trouble, so the possibility of it being them is actually the smallest!"

Hearing her analysis, Lin Zhangqing had to admit that what Chen Zi Ya said made a lot of sense; this time it might really have been his own overreaction.

Lin Zhangqing pondered for a moment and still said, "Then let's interrogate a few more; I still need to continue verifying to be at ease. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and released another robber who had been following them. This person's face was somewhat similar to Guo Dagui's.

Lin Zhangqing estimated that this was Guo Dagui's big brother, but he didn't care about that now; he only wanted to know if any Qi family members were involved.

When he first came out, although he was a bit unaccustomed, his reaction was much faster than Guo Dagui's.

However, after seeing the situation clearly, he sighed, knowing that this time it was definitely a narrow escape.

At the time, when those two people in front were discovered by them on the spot, he felt bad, knowing that this time they had kicked an iron plate.

To be able to discover them from so far away, they were either Foundation Establishment seniors playing the pig to eat the tiger, or people with powerful divine sense and innate talent; such people were the hardest to deal with.

Therefore, he decisively abandoned the target and turned to run, originally thinking of leaving alone and running far away.

However, he was worried about his younger brother Guo Dagui and held onto a fluke, wanting to take him away together. He didn't expect that he still couldn't escape in the end.

At this time, Lin Zhangqing's emotionless voice rang out, "What is your name? Why follow us? Think clearly before answering. There are five of you; if someone says something different, then every day from now on."

"You will experience that kind of extreme pain as punishment. You experienced it not long ago; I believe you haven't forgotten it yet!"

The robber looked at them and said, "My name is Guo Dafu. Falling into your hands, is it true that no matter what, you won't let us go in the end?"

"Since we are destined to die, what is the point of me talking?"

Hearing what Guo Dafu said, Lin Zhangqing sneered, knowing he wanted to bargain to win a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately, Lin Zhangqing wouldn't indulge him.

He was in no mood to waste words with him. With a thought, a Purple Crystal Scorpion pounced toward the base of his thigh.

Afterward, no matter how Guo Dafu screamed and shouted, the Purple Crystal Scorpion still stung him.

After a shrill, sharp scream, Guo Dafu arched his body, then fell heavily, and then like a fish out of water, opened his mouth to breathe desperately.

Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya smiled at each other, then simultaneously lowered their hands covering their ears.

When Guo Dafu had completely recovered, Lin Zhangqing spoke again, "Guo Dagui is your younger brother, right? He has already said everything."

The environment here was good, and the name of the small courtyard was also quite elegant. He couldn't help but nod, feeling very satisfied in his heart, knowing that Chen Zi Ya must have chosen the best residence for him.

"Asking you one last time, why follow us? And after being discovered by us, you ran to our only path to set up an ambush; who instigated you to do this?" Seeing Lin Zhangqing's attitude was so tough, Guo Dafu knew he had to talk; if he didn't, he would probably be killed immediately.

Only then did he say, "We were looking for suitable targets to strike near the Myriad Treasures Pavilion; you were the fat sheep we chose, so we followed you."

"After being discovered by you, we were worried you would report it to the market executive of the Qingyun Sect, so I felt it wasn't suitable to stay in the market for the time being and prepared to hide in another place for a while."

"And the reason we set up the ambush in that place was because someone in the squad suggested pulling one more job before leaving."

"Finally, we chose that only path to the landing field; there are often targets suitable for us to strike there, and it wasn't specifically to ambush you."

Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya looked at each other again, then Chen Zi Ya asked, "Why did you think we were fat sheep?"

Guo Dafu looked at her and said, "Coming in and out of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion early in the morning, and bringing a Dao companion, it was obvious you had business; whether buying things or selling spirit objects, the storage bag must have goods!"

The two were stunned for a moment; sure enough, there is a specialty in every trade. Having robbed many times, they naturally had a set of methods to judge fat sheep.

However, looking at the situation, they must have done this many times before; otherwise, they wouldn't have such rich experience. Therefore, in his heart, Lin Zhangqing had already sentenced them to death.

He knocked Guo Dafu unconscious, put him back into the spirit beast bracelet, and then the other three robbers were released and interrogated one by one.

As expected, those three knew even less, only knowing that the Guo brothers were following fat sheep and were discovered.

Then the few decided to go to another place to avoid the limelight; they knew nothing else.

Having interrogated five people, the results were all about the same, which put Lin Zhangqing and his companion at ease. After putting everyone back into the spirit beast bracelet, Chen Zi Ya closed the array.

The two sat in the living room, drinking the spirit tea Chen Zi Ya had brewed.

"Senior Brother, you should be at ease now!" Chen Zi Ya smiled lightly.

Lin Zhangqing nodded, "It only ruled out the possibility of the Qi family acting, but when out and about, it's better to be a bit cautious."

"I haven't had children with you yet! I can't just die and fall like this."

The first two sentences were quite serious, but the latter part started teasing Chen Zi Ya, making her face turn red again, and then she glared fiercely at Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing laughed "Hehe!", then took out five storage bags from his bosom. As for the two spirit beast bags, he considered it and didn't take them out, because their owners weren't dead yet, so looking at them was useless.

Seeing Lin Zhangqing take out five storage bags, Chen Zi Ya knew what he was going to do and directly reached out to take two to help refine them.

Then they poured the things onto the ground, and soon the contents of the five storage bags were all poured out.

Afterward, the two began to sort them by category. There weren't many things, and they were sorted quickly.

There were just over two thousand low-grade spirit stones, and not a single medium-grade spirit stone.

There were thirty-some bottles of pills, but they were all common pills, nothing unusual, and even less of a surprise.

There were many dharma artifacts; adding attack and defense artifacts together, there were actually as many as twenty-eight, and they were all relatively exquisite high-grade artifacts, and there were even top-grade artifacts.

It should be that after they robbed, they picked out the better ones to keep for themselves, averaging five to six per person. Some of them looked quite good to Lin Zhangqing, but thinking about it, he still didn't dare to use them.

These things were obviously stolen goods; if he took them to use himself and unluckily met the victim's relatives or friends and was recognized, he wouldn't be able to clear his name.

So it was better to put them away first and hand them over to Junior Sister Hu along with the artifacts harvested previously.

Ask her to help change their appearance and process them, or sell them directly through their channels.
