From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

"How's the investigation going? Can there be any progress?"

In the study room, Cao Xing looked at the person below, took a sip of tea lightly, and asked leisurely.

"Returning to the Holy One, I have sent people to investigate around the capital, but there is no news yet, and we may have to wait."

The man was shocked, and immediately bent his waist even deeper.

"Hmph, how did you become the admiral of the Nine Sects? Assassins attacked Prince Rong and killed several household officials, but now you have no clue.

Three days, three full days, if the assassin escapes, I am afraid he will leave Yanzhou now, get out, if there is no progress, don't come to see me again. "

Cao Xing showed a look of warmth and anger, and the person below trembled, but when he heard the word "get out", he retreated respectfully as if he had been pardoned.

When they came to the gate of the imperial city, there was a team of chariots and horses waiting here. The man who was blasted out by Cao Xing lost his fear, raised his chest and raised his head, showing a haughty look.

"Lord Admiral."

When everyone saluted, the man nodded, then got into the carriage and left slowly under the guard of a group of people.

Ding Yi, the admiral of the Nine Gates, has been a little annoying recently.

The assassin murdered a member of the household department, and the emperor ordered the Sanju Department to be in charge, so he, the admiral of the nine sects, took advantage of it and cooperated with it.

But after Prince Rong was assassinated, the matter was handed over to him. There was no clue about the case, and there was no way to investigate it.

Prince Rong is recovering from his injuries in the mansion. As a small admiral of the nine sects, he only goes to visit at most, and dare not ask too many questions.

Moreover, the servants in the mansion didn't know much about the assassin. They all said that he was just recruited as a mansion guard, and they didn't know the details, they only knew that he was good at martial arts.

Most importantly, the assassin's appearance was extremely ordinary, and he seemed to be disguised.After the portrait came out, the police went all over the capital to inns and shops, but no one saw him, as if he appeared and disappeared out of thin air.

"Hey, could it be that this assassin came out of the soil?"

Ding Yi shook her head, sighed, and talked to herself.

"Wait? It came out of the soil, what if the assassin is not human?"

Suddenly, Ding Yi thought of something, and immediately called the driver to stop.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

The carriage stopped, and a policeman came up immediately behind, asking in a low voice.

"I won't go back for now, I'll change my way to the demon town."

Ding Yi said in a cold voice, the patrolman was immediately taken aback.

"My lord, what are you going to do to suppress demons?"

The patrolman asked a question, but was reprimanded by Ding Yi.

"I will go wherever I say, so I don't need you to talk too much?"

After speaking, Ding Yi put down the curtain of the car, and the patrolman learned his lesson, and retreated immediately.

Ever since, the group of people changed their way and went straight to Zhenyaosi.

Today's Demon Suppressing Division is relatively peaceful, Li Chunyu is in the Bugui study, Xue Qin is processing official documents in the scribes' courtyard, and Bai Ruyi is arranging things for the fish scale guards.

A few days had passed since the Xishan incident, when Guo Ren and the others went back, Bai Ruyi couldn't help being dumbfounded, he didn't expect the tomb in Xishan to be so dangerous, nearly half of the fish scale guards sent out were killed or injured.

Fortunately, she has already figured out the ins and outs, especially the news about Taoist Jin Ling, the masked man with four fingers, she has kept it in her mind.

However, Xishan is still not calm, and the demons and ghosts are still entrenched. It is obviously unrealistic to send a large group of people into the mountain to clear it up. So Bai Ruyi sent someone to contact the Xishan County Government to order them to close the mountain and notify the villages at the foot of the mountain to organize night vigils. Patrol to avoid being killed by those demons and goblins.

In the peaceful atmosphere of Zhenyaosi, Ding Yi, the admiral of the Nine Gates, suddenly arrived.

"Master Zhen Fushi, there is a lot of trouble, there is a lot of trouble."

Entering the main hall, Ding Yi, the admiral of the Nine Gates, and Li Chunyu greeted each other with smiles all over their faces.

Li Chunyu hated being woken up while sleeping, her complexion was not very good-looking, typical wake-up annoyance, but facing Ding Yi who was smiling, she had to deal with it twice, after all, they were considered equal.

In the capital city, the top ones are Sanfasi, Shenchuangmen, Zhenyaosi and the nine-door admiral's mansion.

Each of these six yamen is in charge of a stall, but they often get together because of cases, so they are fairly familiar with each other, but the relationship between them is a bit subtle.

The admiral of the Nine Gates has a pretty good relationship with the Zhenyaosi, that's why Li Chunyu got up to meet him. If it was the God Catcher who came, with Li Chunyu's temper, they might be shut down.

With a few words of politeness, Ding Yi directly explained the purpose of his visit. He felt that the assassin was probably not a human being, but a demon, so he hoped that the demon town master could assist him in this case.

"Well, this case is indeed a bit weird, how about this, I will send a few fish scale guards to assist you in handling the case.

Come on, let Bai Jinwei come over and say that I have something to explain. "

Li Chunyu nodded. Ding Yi and himself are old acquaintances. When he was in the palace, Ding Yi did not show filial piety to himself. It was nothing to help him.

Not long after, Bai Ruyi came. She recognized Ding Yi, so she greeted him immediately.

"Bai Jinwei, I know you've been working hard recently, but Admiral Ding is now going to solve the case of assassinating Prince Rong. He suspects that the assassin is a demon. Send some people to help."

Li Chunyu's words made it clear that this case was "helping", implying, send a few people to deal with it, don't force it.

Of course Bai Ruyi understood and was not hypocritical. He immediately said that he would send two iron guards to help solve the case.

None of the Silver Guards were sent, and the meaning of perfunctory was obvious.

"Um, Master Zhenfu, please forgive me for overstepping. This case is important. If it is convenient for the Secretary, can you send some silver guards to assist."

As soon as Ding Yi heard this, Bai Ruyi sent two iron guards to dismiss him, and immediately quit.

"Master Ding, the Demon Suppression Division is also short of manpower, the matter of the big demon in the capital has not yet been resolved, and there is another situation in Xishan, we are also helpless.

In addition, this matter does not necessarily have to be caused by demons. I heard that the assassin is good at using knives. Although he has evil skills to manipulate people's minds, he mostly relies on knives to hurt people. Why don't you go to the God's Catcher and ask, maybe There will be more discoveries. "

Bai Ruyi also started to play football. This is not the job of the demon boss. Sending two iron guards out to help out is already a great way to save face. What else do you want?

"That's right. I've also heard about the assassin. It's indeed more like a quack warlock. Your lord admiral might as well go to God's Catcher. They may have a better idea."

Li Chunyu also spoke, then picked up the tea, and drank a few sips on his own.

Ding Yi understood that this was driving her away, so she said some polite words and got up to leave.

After leaving the Town Demon Division, Ding Yi also felt that what Li Chunyu and Bai Ruyi said made sense, and immediately led the team straight to the gate of the gods.

In the end, the answer they got from the God Catcher was similar. The God Catcher felt that the assassin was strange, and his methods were more like a demon, so he asked him to ask the demon town master.

"The God Catcher and the Demon Suppressor are going too far."

The two sides played football with each other, on the surface they said to give him a hand, but in the end they just sent a few innocuous little people to deal with it. Ding Yi was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and after thinking for a moment, he thought:
"Since that's the case, then I'll just invite the Holy One, don't you guys just ignore it? Well, then don't blame my brother for using tricks."

Ding Yi returned to the mansion quickly, and then wrote a memorial, bluntly saying that the assassin acted strangely, either a quack warlock or a monster, and the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion was not good at handling this matter, and hoped that the Holy One would let the Zhenyaosi and the God Catcher to assist.

Cao Xing read Ding Yi's request and thought for a long time. This assassin is indeed weird, and it is really difficult for Ding Yi, but let Zhenyaosi and Shenchuangmen get involved. According to past experience, this matter will definitely be a dog eats a dog in the end. The fur of the ground.

After being the emperor for so many years, he knew what was going on between the several yamen. The three jurisprudences were alright, they could still maintain their superficial harmony, and the cooperation in solving cases was smooth.

But the Shenchuangmen, Zhenyaosi and Jiumen Admiral's Mansion are different, especially Shenchuangmen and Zhenyaosi, they are simply enemies.

The two companies kept getting dirty with each other. In a few cases, the culprit was not caught even at the end, but the Shenchuangmen and the Zhenyao Division fought each other. In the end, they all went to him to file a complaint, accusing the other party of wrongdoing.

Rubbing his forehead, Cao Xing couldn't help laughing, thinking that this Ding Yi is also brave enough to drag these two families into trouble at the same time, and he is not afraid of them fighting and tearing down his admiral's mansion.

"Since you want to bring them in, I will follow your wish."

Cao Xing waved his hand, and immediately asked Zhen Jing, who was waiting outside the door, to come over, telling him to send someone to pass an oral order, so that Zhenyaosi and Shenzhumen could assist the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion to solve the case.
