Chapter 111 Poisoning
Zhou Chen knew that it was not his turn to act recklessly in the Demon Suppression Bureau, so he could only let them take him away.
Seeing that several people were about to come up and take Zhou Chen away, Leng Ningshuang wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Qin Hong. She had no choice but to let Zhou Chen be taken away.
After they left, Leng Ningshuang pleaded, "Sir Qin, you must help Brother Zhou."
"This is the person Lord Xuanwu ordered to be captured. How can you ask me to help him?"
"But didn't you just say you would help him?"
"I said that on purpose for him to hear. Otherwise, how could he surrender so easily? If he runs away, we will suffer too. Okay, let's just leave it at that," he said and left the yard back to his room.
On the way to the prison, Zhou Chen was still confused. He had clearly checked nearby that day and there was no one around, so how did they know it was him who did it?
Only after sending Zhou Chen to jail did they sneer and say, "Hmph, once you're in jail, don't even think about getting out."
Then he said to the person next to him, "Go and serve him well," and then left the cell.
After those people left, several Demon-Suppressing Guards who were in charge of guarding the cell immediately walked in. Zhou Chen immediately asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Haha, you'll know soon."
Zhou Chen felt that they had bad intentions. Looking at the two people who wanted to come up and catch him, Zhou Chen immediately took a few steps back and said, "I warn you not to come over, otherwise I will be rude to you."
Seeing that his words were useless, Zhou Chen immediately raised his foot and kicked the two men one by one. The two men crawled on the ground in pain, "Ouch, it hurts so much, Zhou Chen, you actually sneak attacked us, you are dead."
They just shouted to the outside, and then four people rushed in and wanted to catch Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen realized that these people were deliberately trying to make things difficult for him. Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and immediately changed his expression. At the same time, he took out one hundred silver coins from his storage bag and handed them over.
"Brothers, this is all a misunderstanding. I have some silver here for you to take for tea." Seeing the silver, smiles immediately appeared on their faces. They stepped forward to take the silver and said, "Brother, don't blame us. This is really what our superiors have instructed us to do. So you still have to suffer a little, otherwise we will have a hard time reporting to our superiors."
From what he said, it seemed that this matter could not just let go. Zhou Chen immediately said in a cold voice, "They just suspect me, but have not made a definite conviction. You have no right to torture me."
"This is not my concern." After collecting the silver, he immediately took two steps back, and the five people behind him immediately pounced on Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen would not tolerate them. The moment they pounced on him, a three-meter-tall tiger appeared behind Zhou Chen. The tiger raised its hands and knocked the five people to the ground. These guys were just martial artists who had just entered the eighth rank. They were no match for Zhou Chen.
Seeing the giant tiger behind Zhou Chen, he was so scared that he retreated from the cell door and then locked the door tightly. "Zhou Chen, do you want to escape from prison?"
Zhou Chen retracted his magical powers and spread out his hands, "Which eye of yours saw me escape from prison?" Then he ignored them and sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, concentrating.
Through what happened just now, everyone knew that Zhou Chen was not someone to be trifled with, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being.
Two hours later, a Demon-Suppressing Guard came to Zhou Chen's cell door. Zhou Chen sensed the breath at the door and slowly opened his eyes. Zhou Chen did not recognize the guy at the door, but he discovered that this guy was actually a sixth-grade warrior. However, his strength was not strong, he was just a warrior who had just entered the sixth-grade not long ago.
When that guy saw Zhou Chen was unharmed, he immediately questioned the Demon-Suppressing Guard beside him, "Didn't you tell me to teach him a lesson?"
"Sir, it's not that we don't do our job well, it's just that he is too strong. The six of us put together are no match for him alone."
"Huh, trash."
Zhou Chen looked at the man in front of him and asked, "I don't think we have any grudge against each other, so why are you framing me?"
"Hey, don't say anything nonsense. Who framed you? You were the one who killed someone first and we were just following orders."
Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then bring out the evidence. Didn't you say someone saw me killing someone? Call him over and let me see."
"Don't worry, I will let you confront each other." Not long after he left, Leng Ningshuang came in with a food box. Seeing Zhou Chen was safe and sound, he was relieved. Leng Ningshuang handed the food box to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen asked, "When does Lord Qin plan to rescue me?" Zhou Chen couldn't help but be anxious, after all, Leng Yiyao was still waiting for him to go home.
Leng Ningshuang didn't say anything when she heard Zhou Chen's question. Zhou Chen seemed to see his embarrassment and asked, "Does Lord Qin have no intention of rescuing me?"
"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to rescue you." After hearing his words, Zhou Chen understood everything. It seemed that Qin Hong had no intention of rescuing him at all.
Zhou Chen opened the lunch box and saw the food inside. His appetite was whetted. He immediately tore off a chicken leg and started eating it, saying "Do me a favor" while eating.
"You tell me, and I will definitely help you do it."
"Please give my wife a message, telling her that I have to be away for a few days for something and will be back soon, so she doesn't need to worry about me."
"Well, don't worry, I will definitely bring it to you," said Zhou Chen as he left. He continued to eat the meat with big mouthfuls, not worrying about not being able to get out.
During the time Zhou Chen was in the Demon Suppression Bureau, he had a general understanding of the strength of the bureau. He had never met the four hall masters and did not know their strength, but among the Demon Suppression Guards, warriors who had reached the sixth rank in strength were directly promoted to Demon Suppression Envoys.
The power of the Demon Suppression Envoy is higher than that of the Demon Suppression Guards, and the Demon Suppression Envoys act alone, unlike the Demon Suppression Guards who work in teams of four. There are about fifteen Demon Suppression Envoys in the Demon Suppression Division of Wu'an County, and the rest are all Demon Suppression Guards of the lower three ranks.
Zhou Chen was gnawing on a chicken leg while looking at the cell in front of him. He was confident that he could kick the door open, and as long as he was careful, escaping would not be a problem. However, this was the worst plan, and he would not do it until the last step.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Chen returned to his bed and sat cross-legged to practice. An hour later, Zhou Chen suddenly felt something was wrong with his body, and his body became particularly heavy.
Zhou Chen was secretly shocked, "How could I be poisoned?" As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhou Chen immediately used his magical power to rejuvenate himself. After he reached the sixth level, the effect of this magical power on him was obviously reduced a lot, but fortunately it was still useful.
There were several pairs of eyes secretly watching this place. The poison in Zhou Chen's body naturally came from the food he had just eaten, but the poison was not given by Leng Ningshuang, but was secretly put in by the Demon-Suppressing Guards who were checking him when he came in.
They were secretly monitoring Zhou Chen at the moment, and as soon as he fell down, someone would rush out and attack him.
However, what puzzled them was that Zhou Chen had not fallen down even after such a long time.
In a blink of an eye, another half an hour passed. They were getting a little impatient and sent someone up to check the situation. The guy carefully came to the door of Zhou Chen's cell.
Zhou Chen noticed his arrival and immediately opened his eyes. The guy was startled by Zhou Chen's sudden move.
The guy just ran away without saying a word. Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction he left. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Chen fell directly on the bed. Several people who saw this scene secretly showed joy on their faces and immediately walked towards Zhou Chen.
