Legend of Zhan Zhao

Chapter 55 Willing to Obey the Commander Zhan

Seeing that Zhan Zhao was about to leave, the four hall masters and deputy hall masters chased after him.

The constables, who had been extremely indignant just moments before, couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Many people even showed expressions of contemplation and shame.

It must be admitted that Zhan Zhao's words just now were truly moving.

So the head hall master had considered things in such detail?

He truly deserves to be called the de facto leader of the Six Doors, and the person most admired by everyone.

However, due to prejudice, they rejected the headmaster's good intentions, only thinking about guarding against him and preventing him from entering the Six Doors.

In the end, they didn't want to come!

Why would an ordinary person be willing to enter the Six Doors?

Besides the recognition based on principles of justice and shared ideals, the main reason for joining the Six Doors is that it is a major sect that spans both the imperial court and the martial arts world. Joining it means receiving government funding, which is more secure than ordinary martial arts sects.

But Zhan Zhao is now a high monk at the Great Xiangguo Temple, and with such martial arts skills, why should he need to seek fame and fortune from the Six Doors?

Moreover, the leader of the Four Great Constables has now disappeared, and the Six Doors have been hit by one storm after another. It's a complete mess, and while that sounds harsh, it's not an exaggeration.

"Brother Zhan has already started dealing with these people!"

Lian Caiyun's eyes darted around, a secret smile playing on her lips, while she tried her best to keep a straight face.

She clearly sensed that when Su Wuqing's secret letter was revealed, inviting him to temporarily assume the position of Divine Constable in the Six Doors, Brother Zhan's calm emotions underwent a noticeable fluctuation.

Since both sides have already taken action, Zhan Zhao has no intention of cooperating with the Six Doors to solve the case.

But Zhan Zhao was actually quite interested in taking charge of the Six Doors, even though there were many difficulties.

He enjoys challenges.

'This is the heart of chivalry!'

But in Lian Caiyun's eyes, isn't this quality of facing difficulties head-on and daring to take responsibility precisely the heart of chivalry?
Regardless of what she saw and thought, upon discovering four high-ranking officials standing in front of him, Zhan Zhao still refused to budge: "Please step aside."

"Young Master Zhan, we were truly wrong just now, but my elder brother trusts you implicitly and surely considers you a confidant!"

Zhou Wuxin had no choice but to appeal to his emotions and reason with him, even resorting to some earnest persuasion: "Young hero, solving the case and capturing the culprit is not for our sake, but only to rescue my elder brother, is that alright?"

He saw it too.

This person didn't have a good impression of the other members of the Six Doors, but he still had some respect for Su Wuqing.

"If it's specifically for rescuing Detective Su..."

Zhan Zhao's expression softened slightly: "I can offer an idea."

Zhou Wuxin quickly said, "Please speak."

Zhan Zhao said, "With Su Shenbu's wisdom, it would be impossible for 'Zhong Kui' to capture him without anyone noticing, unless his martial arts are truly extraordinary and unbelievably powerful. I think it's more likely that he deliberately left with the murderer..."

"Wastedly following the murderer away?"

Zhou Wuxin was initially shocked and angry, but then quickly realized: "Young Master Zhan, do you mean that my elder brother has been blackmailed?"

Zhan Zhao asked, "Has Li Wuxing returned?"

Zhao Wujiu shook his head: "We have already dispatched a large number of people, almost the entire Fengjun Hall has been mobilized, but we still have no news of Second Brother."

Zhou Wuxin asked in a trembling voice, "Big Brother's disappearance... is it because of Second Brother?"

"good."

Zhan Zhao nodded: "I think the murderer is likely using Li Shenbu's safety to blackmail Su Shenbu and force him to comply."

Zhao Wujiu's body trembled: "Eldest brother seems to be infallible, but in reality he is the most compassionate and soft-hearted, especially regarding us as his own brothers. This is his only weakness! But... but how did the murderer manage to capture Second Brother?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Regarding the disappearance of Detective Li, after contacting Yunqi Manor, I have a basic hypothesis—"

"At that time, Constable Li rushed out of the manor, seemingly searching for the whereabouts of 'Great Hero of Jiangnan' Yun Heming, but in reality, he may have been poisoned by the 'Black Water Palace's' deadly poison, 'Soul-Running Moon-Howling Water'!" "Is that so?"

After hearing his analysis, everyone was both shocked and furious.

"With this clue, you should all have a plan for solving the case. The Four Great Constables are renowned throughout the martial arts world. Although two of them are now missing, I believe you can still deal with 'Zhong Kui'. Please!"

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, everyone became anxious. Even Xin Li and Leng Feng, who were reluctant, completely changed their minds and said in unison, "Young Master Zhan! We have been very rude just now! Please stay!"

As it turns out, the other party was indeed very capable.

The clues to solving the case, presented in just a few words, were much clearer than the previous tangled mess.

If such a person were truly let go, and Su Wuqing and Li Wuxing could not be saved, the entire Six Doors would inevitably regret it, and there was even a risk of them becoming completely devastated.

Compared to the rise and fall of a sect, what does that little bit of face matter?

Zhan Zhao knew the time was right, so he stopped and looked around: "If I were the Divine Constable, the first thing I would do is to rectify the situation and root out the lawbreakers!"

"You probably can't accept this..."

"How can someone who interrogates and examines prisoners all day long be able to accept interrogation from others, especially when there are mutual favors and cover-ups!"

Zhao Wujiu retorted angrily, "Young Master Zhan, you are underestimating us. Even if you target the Six Doors, as long as it is in accordance with justice and morality, why should we stop you?"

Zhou Wuxin sighed softly and continued, "Young Master Zhan's words about human relationships are not without merit. My elder brother's decision is probably because we are too familiar with each other, and out of consideration for our feelings, we are ultimately unwilling to harm our fellow disciples. Therefore, we have made little progress, which is why the thieves took advantage of us..."

He paused, then his voice sharpened: "Now that my elder brother is missing, I don't know if it's too late to mend things, but I will never sit idly by and wait to die!"

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

I don't know if it's because of guilt or unease.

But at that moment, Pang Wen stepped forward and said resolutely, "I, Pang Wen, the head constable of Zhenyue Hall, am willing to accept the investigation. As long as the real culprit can be found and the head constable can be rescued, I will do anything!"

"I, Shi Wei, a constable from the Juefeng Hall, am willing to cooperate with the investigation, as long as the real culprit is found and the Hall Master is rescued!"

"I, Dai Qing, a constable of the Juefeng Hall, am willing to accept the investigation, as long as the real culprit is found and the Hall Master is rescued!"

With the first leader in place, the second and third constables immediately stepped forward.

Then there were more and more.

Finally, the sounds converged, leaving only the roar of a mountain and the roar of a tsunami:

"Find the real culprit!! Rescue the Grand Master!!"

Witnessing this scene, Zhan Zhao was deeply moved: "I take back what I just said. As long as we have this breath left, the Six Doors will definitely not be a mess!"

These words brought tears to the eyes of countless constables.

Finally, I've gained recognition.

Zhou Wuxin realized that the opportunity could not be missed, so he quickly stepped forward and led the way by bowing and saying, "We are willing to obey the orders of Constable Zhan!"

"That's fine."

Zhan Zhao declined three times, thus establishing his authority and launching a direct investigation into the Six Doors. He then extended his hand in a gesture of support.

At the same time, Lian Caiyun heard his voice transmission: "Sister, go back to Daxiangguo Temple first and call Chen Xiuhan, Dinghai and Dingyi. Then go to the Gu family mansion and invite your third senior brother and fifth senior sister."

"I can't rely on enthusiasm alone; I need trustworthy people, and you are my helpers."

"understand!"

Lian Caiyun nodded emphatically and left lightly.

As she stepped out of the Six Doors and looked back, the constables roared in agreement, especially the one who had just been beaten the most, who inexplicably shouted the loudest: "We are willing to obey the orders of Constable Zhan!!"
