Chapter 120: Receive the Reward and Meet the County Governor

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground to become their disciples, Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled: "You two get up first."

"No, if you don't accept us as your disciples, then we won't get up." Big Eyed Damp said very stubbornly.

"Yes!" Er Qiangzi also said.

"It's impossible to accept you as my disciples. Even if you kneel and die here, it won't change." Zhao Ya said calmly.

Hearing this, the faces of Big Eyed Lantern and Er Qiangzi showed disappointment.

"But I can teach you some self-defense martial arts first. If you can really achieve something in the future, I can't accept you as my disciple." Zhao Ya said.

Big Eyed Lantern and Er Qiangzi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This result was beyond what they dared to ask for, so they kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhao Ya waved his hand to signal them all to stand up, and then took out more than twenty taels of silver.

"With how skinny you are now, you may not be able to complete a set of punches before you have to lie down from exhaustion. With this money, you can buy some rice, noodles and meat to eat, and take care of your body first."

The big-eyed lantern refused to answer, "Master Zhao, you have already given me one hundred taels of silver before, how can I still ask for it from you?"

"That's what you deserve, it's extra, and this money is not just for you two. Don't you have many little brothers? Then buy more things so that your little brothers can also Eat a few full meals, including at home," Zhao Ya instructed.

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Big Eyed Deng and Er Qiangzi just took over the money.

"Go ahead, take care of your health first, and use the remaining money to buy some clothes. Come to Ping'an Fang to see me when you feel strong."

With tears in their eyes, the two of them nodded solemnly, and then left.

Looking at the backs of these two children, Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He really couldn't accept these two children as his disciples.

First of all, it's because they are still too young. Even though this big-eyed lantern is quite methodical in doing things, he is actually only nine years old this year. The second strongman is even younger, at most eight years old this year.

How can you practice martial arts with yourself at this age?

The second and most important reason is that without the support of family background, the flesh and blood they need to practice martial arts is a problem.

If you don't even have enough to eat, how can you afford the massive consumption of flesh and blood during martial arts training?

Zhao Ya can help at the beginning, but what about later?

You must know that even Zhao Ya himself has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he have the power to help them?

This is also the reason why classes in this world are so solidified.

It is extremely difficult for children from ordinary families to get ahead through martial arts.

Not to mention anything else, just the consumption of the flesh and blood of alien beasts can directly bankrupt an ordinary family.

However, rich families have no scruples in this regard. They can eat dried meat from exotic animals as they like, hire famous teachers for guidance, or simply spend a lot of money to join a large martial arts sect. In this way, the gap is not limited to Yunni.

Even Zhao Ya himself might still be a bodyguard in the escort agency today if it weren't for the blessing of Golden Finger, and he wouldn't even be able to break through to the second level.

However, although he could not accept these two people as his disciples, Zhao Ya decided to help them within his ability.

This was not just out of good intentions, but more importantly, through the arrest of Jade Butterfly, Zhao Ya found that it was extremely efficient to use these children to find out information.

After all, no matter how cautious Lao Jianghu is, he will not deliberately be wary of these seven, eight or nine-year-old children.

At this time, Zhao Ya searched Lu Jicheng's residence again, but found nothing.

Not to mention gold, not even a golden hair was seen.

Zhao Ya was not surprised by this.

If Lu Jicheng had not lied, he would certainly not have put the gold in his residence.

Instead, place it in a hidden foothold for escape in case of emergencies.

As for where this hidden foothold is, only Lu Jicheng himself knows.

Zhao Ya left Tongyifang and returned home.

Although the rain was much lighter at this time, it was still pouring down, but Zhao Ya's home was very lively.

Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng, Xu De, even Meng Shiwen and Shi Qingqing were there.

Before leaving, Zhao Ya asked Zui'er to inform Miao Shaocheng and the others that he was going to catch the jade butterfly.

After hearing the news, they rushed over immediately.

Miao Shaocheng even clamored several times to help, but had no choice but to give up because he didn't know where Zhao Ya had gone.

So when Zhao Ya came back, Miao Shaocheng couldn't wait to ask: "How was it?"

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.

Zhao Ya smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

After hearing this, the whole place was in commotion.

Miao Shaocheng even scratched his head and asked: "What's going on? How did you find the jade butterfly? Tell everyone!"

So Zhao Ya told what happened.

When he heard that Zhao Ya actually found another way, he first narrowed down the suspects through the lines and footprints of the jade butterfly.

Then he inquired about the information through a group of children and successfully targeted Nalu Jicheng and captured him at home.

Finally, he used words to break through his psychological defense and made him admit his identity in front of all the government agents. Miao Shaocheng couldn't help but slap his thigh.

"Awesome, awesome, why didn't I think of that!"

Xu De smiled and said: "There are many things you didn't expect."

Shen Dao even sincerely praised him: "Fourth junior brother is really resourceful and resourceful, I am far behind."

Even Meng Shiwen's eyes softened when she looked at Zhao Ya.

At this moment, Shi Qingqing walked up to Zhao Ya and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, for avenging Aunt Xue and bringing the murderer to justice."

Although Shi Qingqing was older than Zhao Ya, she always called everyone in Dingtai Martial Arts School "Senior Brother".

Zhao Ya hurriedly returned the greeting, "Master Shi, you are too polite. This is just what we martial artists should do."

"No, this is not politeness, but my sincere gratitude. If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhao, not only would Aunt Xue's spirit in heaven be filled with hatred, but also the other women who were harmed by Lu Jicheng would be wronged." Shi Qingqing said very seriously.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Miao Shaocheng was even more excited and suggested drinking a few glasses to celebrate.

As soon as this was said, everyone agreed.

It was late at night and it was raining outside, so they simply fried a few dishes at Zhao Ya's home.

The wine was temporarily delivered by Xu Deming's men. Although it was not as good as Feixian Brew in Feixianju, it was also quite good.

Everyone enjoyed the wine very much.

Miao Shaocheng even asked Zhao Ya how he came up with these methods.

Zhao Ya could only smile helplessly.

He couldn't say that he learned all these from watching criminal investigation documentaries in another world.

So he could only make excuses to get away with it.

Late at night, the wine was gone and everyone dispersed.

Zui'er had already gone to sleep after cleaning up the remaining banquet.

After Zhao Ya sobered up a little, he took out a golden-spotted black eel and swallowed it, and then began to practice.

He had just taken a Vajra Power Pill the day before yesterday, and now his blood and qi in his body are still very abundant.

With the blessing of this golden-spotted black eel, Zhao Ya's practice was very effective.

Especially the progress of liver unlocking, which finally broke through the 90% mark and reached 91%.

Zhao Ya estimated that if the blood and flesh were adequately supplied, it would not take long for him to completely unlock the liver.

After catching Jade Butterfly Lu Jicheng, Zhao Ya believed that, at least for a period of time in the future, he would not have to worry about money.

The next morning, the head of the police, Du Hu, came to Zhao Ya's residence.

When he saw Zhao Ya, Du Hu smiled.

"Mr. Zhao, congratulations, the man surnamed Lu confessed everything after returning last night. The county magistrate was very happy and sent me to invite you over."

Zhao Ya was not surprised by this.

After all, if a vicious criminal like Jade Butterfly is not eliminated, it will be a great pressure for the county magistrate and the entire government office.

Zhao Ya nodded, "Let's go."

After following Du Hu to the government office, many people had gathered at the gate of the government office.

People were talking about the capture of Jade Butterfly.

"Damn, I never thought that the Jade Butterfly who killed so many women would be a lame old man."

"I heard that this guy is the doorman of Chenfeng Martial Arts School. Is this matter related to Chenfeng Martial Arts School?"

"Shh, you are going to die, how can you say this casually?"

"Look, look, people are coming!"

Someone noticed Zhao Ya walking with Du Hu on the street in the distance and hurriedly reminded him.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Ya.

When they saw that the legendary Zhao Ya was actually a young and handsome boy, many people showed surprise on their faces and whispered.

"Oh my God, so young? He looks like he is only eighteen or nineteen years old."

"Look at the power in his gestures, at least he is at the peak of the third realm, and he is so young, it seems that Dingtai Martial Arts School is going to have another celebrity."

Of course, there are also those who are jealous.

"Tsk tsk, these days, it's really better to practice than to play. You can play so well at such a young age. Isn't Dingtai Martial Arts School afraid of accidents?"

"Let's go, I thought he was such a great person, but this is it?"

Zhao Ya pretended not to hear these comments, whether they were praise or criticism.

At this time, a yamen runner dispersed the crowd at the door, and then Zhao Ya followed Du Hu into the government office.

He didn't go into the lobby, but came to the inner study at the back.

This also shows that the county magistrate values ​​Zhao Ya.

Because generally only important guests or close friends will be allowed to meet in the study.

When he walked in, Yunxiao County Magistrate Shang Jingchuan was already waiting here.

This was the first time Zhao Ya met the Yunxiao County Magistrate.

He was wearing casual clothes, about forty years old, with a white complexion and a wisp of beard under his chin, looking gentle and refined.

But Zhao Ya could clearly feel the blood and power of Shang County Magistrate.

He was also a third-level warrior.

It can be seen that in Dayan, even if you are a civil official, you must have good martial arts skills, otherwise you can't control the situation at all.

After all, the strength of ordinary people and martial artists in this world is very different. If you are really powerless, it is impossible for your martial artists to obey your orders.

"Zhao Ya, meet the county governor!"

Although he is the highest official in Yunxiao County in name, Zhao Ya just performed a simple fist-clasping salute.

Shang Jingchuan didn't care about this. Instead, he walked forward with a laugh and patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder.

"Well, it's true that heroes come out of youth. You are really capable!"

"You are too kind, county governor. I am just lucky and it happened."

"Why be so modest? Thinking that Jade Butterfly has been doing evil for many years, and all the famous old detectives in the government office can't find any trace of him. Young Master Zhao found out the culprit as soon as he took action. What is this other than ability?"

Shang Jingchuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Someone, bring it up."

Someone brought a tray with a stack of gold tickets.

Shang Jingchuan picked up the golden ticket and handed it to Zhao Ya.

"This is a golden ticket of eight hundred taels, which is the bounty for catching Jade Butterfly this time. In addition, I will personally reward you with another one hundred taels. Don't refuse. This is purely out of my personal gratitude. After all, the Jade Butterfly If I don't get rid of it, I won't be able to live in peace for a day." Shang Jingchuan sighed.

Several major cases committed by Jade Butterfly were related to the wealthy families in the county. Therefore, these wealthy families have been putting pressure on the government, giving Shang Jingchuan a headache.

Zhao Ya didn't refuse after hearing this. After thanking him, he put the gold ticket in his arms.

Then Shang Jingchuan laughed and chatted with Zhao Ya.

At this moment, someone reported outside.

"Sir, people from the five major families outside want to see you."

"Let them in."

"yes!"

After a while, a group of people walked into the study. The man in the lead bowed to Shang Jingchuan first, and then looked at Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.

"This must be Young Master Zhao Ya, Zhao Ya. I am entrusted by my master and several other gentlemen, so I come here to express my gratitude."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of gold tickets.

"This is 600 taels of gold, of which 500 taels are the reward amount, and the remaining 100 taels are the extra gratitude to Young Master Zhao from the head of my family and all the masters. Please accept it."

Zhao Ya deserves this, so naturally he won't refuse.

After Zhao Ya accepted it, the man laughed and chatted for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

After the group of people left, Shang Jingchuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiaoya, you are so young and can achieve such achievements. It is really amazing. I believe that after today, your name will be spread throughout the county."

Now Shang Jingchuan no longer calls him Zhao Shaoxia, but directly calls him Xiaoya, which seems quite close.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, he just kept nodding and smiling, but he was thinking about how to say goodbye and leave.

At this moment, a police officer hurried to the study to report.

"Sir, Lu Jicheng suddenly made a noise in the prison. He kept saying that he wanted to see Zhao Shaoxia, and said that if he could not see him, he would not confess the crime."

Shang Jingchuan's face darkened when he heard this, "Damn it, you can't handle such a small thing. Why should you be polite to such a person? If he doesn't confess, then he will be punished."

The head catcher looked embarrassed, "But we have already used all the torture instruments. If we use them again, we are afraid that he will not be able to survive the execution."

"I'll go!" Zhao Ya stood up and said.
