Chapter XXII: Supervision Division
The night was already dark, and it was deep in the county government of Anlin County at this time.
Chen Dingfang, who had lost his official uniform, sat on a chair, smeared his swollen cheeks with good ointment, and hissed from time to time gasping for air.
Suddenly, there was a strange distortion in the space outside the county office, and a man wearing a gorgeous costume and a white jade on his waist walked straight over.
After a few breaths, he came to the inside of the county office.
The cyan official seal on the left hand side of the table suddenly emitted light, and Chen Dingfang felt a sense of it, and walked towards the door.
"I don't know that the state pastor is here, and the lower officials have lost their welcome, and they still hope to atone for their sins."
Chen Dingfang hurriedly ran to the man, and hurriedly saluted and worshipped, his tone and demeanor were extremely respectful.
The man in fancy clothes waved his hand and sat down unceremoniously in the main seat, he stared at Chen Dingfang, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Lord Chen, what's wrong with your face?"
Chen Dingfang's face felt hot again when he heard this, and before he could speak, Qingzhou Prefecture Mufu said again.
"It's been so many days, I don't know the sour Xiucai that Lord Right is looking for, can you find out whether it is life or death?"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Dingfang's expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed down, and said stubbornly: "Back to Lord Bai, I haven't found it yet." ”
"Humph!"
When Bai Xingzhou heard this, a cold surged between his eyebrows, and he said coldly.
"I can't imagine that you can't even do this little thing well, if Ye Shu is not dead, do you know what will happen to you!"
Tick tock!
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Chen Dingfang's forehead, his head hung lower, and he regretted it in his heart.
That day, it was originally a stable situation, but he coveted Wang Mo's three thousand taels of silver, and originally thought of secretly sending a killer to kill Ye Shu.
never thought that not only did he not find Ye Shu's whereabouts, but his son disappeared together with the three arresters in Qingzhou, and his life and death are still uncertain.
Quack!
"This official has exhausted his connections during this period of time, and he has done his best to deal with the beast tide for you, is this how you repay me?"
Bai Xingzhou's face was grim, spiritual power poured out between his fingers, and the corners of the table were even more shattered into powder by the strength of his fingertips.
If it weren't for the fact that this Chen Dingfang was still useful, he really wanted to slap it to death.
"Lord Bai, please give the lower official some more time, the lower official will definitely ......"
Bai Xingzhou slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, trying to ease his tone as much as possible.
"Okay, okay, now is not the time to talk about this, let's think about how to find that poor scholar, right?"
Chen Dingfang hesitated for a moment and said, "...... My lord, the dog went to assassinate Ye Shu that day, if he finds his whereabouts, he will naturally be able to determine the life and death of Ye Shu. ”
"Under that fire, if the dog and the others are still alive, then Ye Shu is probably dead."
After Chen An and others assassinated Ye Shu that day, he received news the next day that Ye Shu's house was on fire.
The fire spread throughout the mountain, causing quite a stir at first.
In connection with all kinds of strange things that have happened recently, the people suspect that they are the monsters, so he has killed a lot of "demon spies", but supernatural things continue to happen.
Bai Xingzhou smiled coldly and said, "You can't hide anything from me, let me tell you the truth, this incident has been spread to Lord Youxiang." ”
"Lord Liu is quite dissatisfied with your behavior, so he used some of his connections to get the officials of the Qingzhou Supervision Department to assist us."
Chen Dingfang's heart suddenly cooled, his back was already wet with cold sweat, the right minister actually knew about it, if he didn't like that adult, I was afraid that his head would have to move.
The Supervision Department is an institution established by the imperial court in order to rule the states, avoid regional autonomy, reward and punish local officials, supervise the power of the sect, and deal with monsters and supernatural incidents.
It can be said that the Supervision Department is the eye of His Majesty the Emperor in all the states of the world, because Anlin County is located in a remote area, and in recent years, there are often demon attacks in the southern part of the Great Zhou, and the Supervision Department has been frequently dealing with the tide of beasts, so it has not had too much contact with these officials in the lower counties.
Unexpectedly, when the right minister would dispatch the Supervision Department, it can be seen that he will kill Ye Shu.
The thought of him messing things up made Chen Ding's heart chill.
He had no doubt that if he couldn't atone for his sins this time, the right minister would definitely kill him.
"This official came here to tell you that after several investigations, the Supervision Department has come to a result."
Looking at Chen Dingfang, who had a dull look in his eyes, Bai Xingzhou's tone paused.
"One of the three arresters that day almost stepped into the Ning Gang realm, the yamen had his identity waist card, and the Supervision Department made an exception to urge the Xuanji Jade, and the result of the investigation was that this person's life was shattered."
"The same is true of your son."
When Chen Dingfang heard this, he was suddenly like a thunderbolt, and the whole person stood in place, his face like ashes.
A layer of mist appeared in his old eyes, and after a long time, a voice full of murderous intent and sadness sounded.
"Can the Supervision Department find out who the murderer is?"
Chen An is his only son, and over the years, he has allowed him to be arrogant and lascivious, rampant and domineering, and has enjoyed blessings that ordinary people can't enjoy in a few lifetimes.
Unexpectedly, now that the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, he couldn't wait to cut the murderer with a thousand knives to thank him for his anger.
He first thought of Wang Mo, but there were already his spies in the Hongzhi Martial Arts Hall, and Wang Mo didn't go out of the martial arts hall that day, but if it wasn't Wang Mo, who would it be?
Hearing Chen Dingfang's tone, Bai Xingzhou's face also changed, and he shook his head.
"Chen Anai is an official of Anlin County, relying on the power of Xuanji Jade and being able to find out his life and death, as for the rest, it will take some time."
"Whether the poor scholar is dead or alive is not yet known."
Chen Dingfang said in astonishment: "Could it be that the adult is the dog and others killed by Ye Shu?" ”
Bai Xingzhou shook his head, he also felt that this idea was too absurd.
"During these days, in addition to assisting the Supervision Department and others in finding the poor scholar, you also need to pay attention to various forces."
"In recent days, Tianqing Prefecture will not be peaceful, especially in your Anlin County, where many big forces will gather. I have received news that the fourth son of the Liu family may also come, you have to be careful. ”
"We must make sure that the poor scholar is dead before Prince Yanagihara comes."
"The lower officials don't know something, why are they here?"
Chen Dingfang was puzzled, he had received news half a month ago that some nobles would come to Anlin County, and at that time, he would just open the city gate and let him go for the necessary reception.
As far as the identities of most of the people he came into contact with had already shocked him as a county honor, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Among them, the most inferior strength is not under the Evergreen Sect.
"These are not for you to ask, you just need to make sure that there are no demons or evil cultivators among these people."
Bai Xingzhou waved his hand impatiently.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Dingfang smiled bitterly in his heart, the identities of those people were higher than the other, if the other party intended to conceal it, where would he dare to inquire about their roots!
"Don't worry, this official will stay in Anlin County these days to assist you in this matter."
As if he had insight into Chen Dingfang's thoughts, Bai Xingzhou handed him a pitch-black token and said.
"This is the token for the Supervision Department to mobilize a ghost sword guard."
Chen Dingfang was shocked, tremblingly took the pitch-black token, and was pleasantly surprised.
This Ghost Sword Guard is the most elite team of the Supervision Division, although the number is small, but it is well-trained, and they are all at the level of the Condensation Realm! It is the biggest reliance of the Supervision Division to mediate the forces of the sect and deal with the supernatural events of monsters.
On weekdays, even the Qingzhou Thorn Shi has no right to directly order the Ghost Sword Guard, and the only possibility is that it was granted by the right minister Liu Yuanju.
"Thank you, sir!"
Chen Dingfang immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to the worship.
With this ghost sword guard, his hope for revenge was suddenly infinitely magnified.
"You don't have to be like this, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, and helping you is also helping me. However, this token can only mobilize a team of ten people. ”
Bai Xingzhou helped Chen Dingfang up and reminded.
Chen Dingfang was stunned: "Why is this? ”
Qingzhou had three ghost sword guards, each with twenty people, and he had never heard of a well-disciplined ghost sword guard being divided.
"Don't be dissatisfied, even these ten people are squeezed out of the teeth of the Supervision Department."
Bai Xingzhou pursed his lips and said, "The entire Supervision Department has sent out the greatest force except for the necessary stays. ”
"What's bigger than the right minister's business?" Chen Dingfang secretly slandered.
"It's said to be looking for someone......"
