Heavenly Dao Formula

Master doesn't have many other advantages, but he is definitely first-class in terms of prudence, and he is sophisticated, so it is definitely the best choice for leading a group of rookies who are new to the industry.

It's just that he's used to being comfortable, and it's hard to say whether he is willing to help him or not. It may be difficult to persuade him simply by writing a letter, and he may have to come to the door to try it himself.

Xia Fan pressed down on this thought, and wrote another word herringbone under the person.

To tell you the truth, I took over as the commander for one purpose - I hope that in the area under my jurisdiction, such things will never happen again. Evil spirits should be banned, and they can be banned!

He spoke loudly.

The expressions of Wei Wushuang and Luo Youer also became serious.

Brother Xia, this is not an easy task.

Well, it may take many years, but if no one starts, we will never see that day.

After the Privy Council became independent with six departments, it has indeed greatly strengthened its own resources and strength, so that the evil disaster brought about by the fall of Yongguo did not destroy the entire human settlement. But a hundred years has turned it into a behemoth, and at the same time it has also made it no longer pure. Too many interest entanglements may have caused a distance between the local Privy Council and Gyeonggi Province.

What he cares about is whether this is unique to the Qi country, or is it the same for the other five countries?

If you want to intervene effectively, you have to intervene in local affairs—at least the criminal investigation part has to be done by ourselves. If you believe in the judgment of the local government, it is easy to be kept in the dark. Xia Fan clicked on the second character, We have to form a criminal investigation team to work with alchemists.

I see. Wei Wushuang suddenly said, You are really thoughtful.

Luo You'er blinked, This should be much easier to recruit than alchemists.

That's right. Xia Fan smiled, It's hard to recruit people who are angry, but there are as many ordinary arrests as there are.

As long as he is paid properly.

In this day and age, there are no professional criminal investigation colleges, and detectives are also low-status positions in the government. The so-called experienced detectives are all fed by cases. They also have no establishment and will not be named in the official department, so it is very convenient to dig a corner.

The first candidate that came to Xia Fan's mind was Li Xing, whom he had met once in Fenghua County.

Although he didn't have much contact with him, he left a good impression on the first meeting. He has a flexible mind and a clear logic in doing things. It is a rare figure in the police team to be able to do these two things.

Since I have to go back to Fenghua County to find my master, I might as well stop by and meet this head catcher.

However... I have one concern. Wei Wushuang paused, The source of those evil spirits—what are you going to do with them? The government will definitely not accept this kind of hot potato, and even go further, as in the case of Gaoshan County , they themselves are inseparable from the source.

Xie Chong is an enemy, so the source of Xie Chong is naturally an enemy. Xia Fan said after a moment of silence, Since the other party is an enemy comparable to Xie Chong, it is very clear what to do.

Treat your friends like a spring breeze, and treat your enemies like a cold wind.

Alchemists should not only carry mahogany swords, medicine guides and talismans, they need to be equipped with another weapon.

The two did not answer the conversation, they may have realized Xia Fan's determination.

——a gold and iron weapon, it is not used to infuse energy to slay demons, but to slay wicked people. In the first class after the introduction of new alchemists, we should also clearly tell them that it is not only evil spirits that alchemists are fighting against. , is also the evil of the world.”

...

It takes two days to go to Fenghua County, and one day to ride a horse. Today is more than half past, and Xia Fan plans to start again tomorrow morning.

Since the headquarters was empty, he simply spent the afternoon shopping with Li.

One can imagine the feeling of being bored at home alone. Going out for a walk can not only understand the people's livelihood in Jinxia City, but also see if there is a chance to encounter clues of the flower imprint.

After buying two bunches of candied haws for Li to eat, Xia Fan walked along the street to the dock area.

According to Wei Wushuang, there is a mixed flow of people there, and it is also a gathering place for various gangs. If you go alone, don't go into alleys or unmanned lanes, otherwise you may be robbed. In addition, don't carry a money bag with you to avoid pickpocketing.

In short, it is a place that normal residents rarely go to.

In order not to attract attention, Xia Fan also changed into a set of ordinary clothes on purpose. The plain linen underwear is just like ordinary people's attire. Li Ye is roughly the same, just with an extra bamboo hat.

He originally thought that the dock area would be empty, after all, it was a lawless place, but when he arrived, he realized that there were more people here than the market. A large number of sailboats were piled up around the trestle, and shirtless porters continued to load the goods onto the ships. And these goods are exactly white salt.

Similarly, he also found that it was impossible to tell which gang these porters belonged to just by looking at them from a distance—after all, they didn't have names on their heads, nor did they have marks that symbolized the faction on their bodies.

As for the white petals I saw that day, there was no trace of them.

The smell here is terrible. Li said suddenly.

Xia Fan agreed, There are too many naked ones.

After the end of summer, it is the beginning of autumn, and it is inevitable to run around the pier under the sun, sweating profusely. Coupled with the belt and pants that are hardly changed, the habit of defecating everywhere, and the smell of firewood smoke, the smell is naturally not much better.

I'm not talking about sweat, Li shook his head. There's a stench of blood here, as well as the stench of decaying corpses.

Now? Fresh?

No...it should be old and new. She stepped on the bricks and stones under her feet, For example, the ground here has been soaked in blood.

It turned out to be the case.

Probably what she smelled were the traces left by the hacking and killing between gangs. As long as no one cleaned it, the smell of flesh and blood soaked into the crevices of the stone would last for a long time.

Then let's go, don't watch it. Xia Fan turned around and said.

Anyway, it's hard to get anything if you stay any longer, so it's better to go to the market and buy a new dress for Li.

The reward above is not only an official position, but also a reward of up to 500 taels, as well as compensation for picking two lightning strike logs from the Ministry of Finance of the Privy Council. His technique does not rely on lightning strike wood, so he didn't cash it out immediately, but the money is already in his hands. Not only can he pay off all his debts, but he can also leave a large sum of money.

For ordinary farmers, it may take more than ten years to save this money. Hearing the news of Xie Chong's appearance, Zhang Shenpan's first reaction was anticipation, perhaps because of this.

The Privy Council's reward is much higher than the fixed salary.

Be careful! Li suddenly reached out to stop Xia Fan.

Then he heard a soft whoosh.

A dagger flew obliquely and inserted into the gap between the stone slabs in front of the two of them.

Li Zheng wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Xia Fan, Wait a minute, don't act alone, there may be fraud!

The fox demon immediately took back the steps it had taken.

This dagger should not be aimed at us, Xia Fan looked towards the direction where the hidden weapon was thrown - a group of people over there were busy unloading goods, and it was impossible to see who was suspicious for a while. But the dagger's route is low and its speed is not fast. Even if Li Bu stopped it, it could only fall to his feet at most.

What is that for?

Xia Fan picked up the dagger, inspected it a little, and soon found that there was a groove at the end of its wooden handle, and there was a thread attached to the outside.

He grabbed the end of the thread and pulled it, and a thin roll of paper fell into his hand.

The person who throws the dagger should be for this.

Xia Fan unfolded the scroll, and there was only one sentence on it. If you want to know the truth about Gaoshan County, come to the harbor pier at midnight tonight.
