Seven-star Sword Master

"How did you know about this, Lord Lu?"

Lu Feipeng knew that if he didn't explain the matter clearly, Liu Xiangyang would definitely become suspicious of him;

What's more, this matter has nothing to do with me.

"That's right, Mr. Liu..."

Then Lu Feipeng told Liu Xiangyang in detail about his encounter with the man in black last night and what he heard while following the man in black.

"Snapped!"

After listening to Lu Feipeng's story, Liu Xiangyang angrily slapped his palm on the stone table in front of him and said angrily:

"This is happening!"

He looked at Lu Feipeng with a serious face and said solemnly:

"Master Lu, is what you said true? There are people who use their fellow humans to feed the monsters?"

Lu Feipeng looked at Liu Xiangyang who was full of anger. At first, he was as angry as Liu Xiangyang when he heard about this.

"It's absolutely true. And isn't the black bear we saw earlier a perfect example?"

After hearing this news, Liu Xiangyang's eyes showed a trace of trance;

Yes, if no one helped to hide the black bear before, then he would definitely not be able to avoid the monitoring formation if he wanted to enter Ningtai Township.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiangyang felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body. His body went limp and he fell to the ground.

Lu Feipeng understood Liu Xiangyang's feelings at the moment. Since Liu Xiangyang joined the Inspection Division, he has been working diligently to eliminate demons and monsters.

He did not dare to relax at all and even often led the troops from scratch, for he was afraid that a large number of casualties would occur among the people due to his own laxity.

But in the end, he discovered that there were scum among the people he had been so determined to rescue;

Yet these scums were so audacious that they dared to use the people he was wholeheartedly protecting to feed the demons.

After a long time, Liu Xiangyang finally came to his senses.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go find Master Shen to confirm this later."

It seemed as if he had used up all his strength to say these words.

After Lu Feipeng left, Liu Xiangyang completely collapsed on the armchair and did not move for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Xiangyang seemed to have figured it out. He stood up again full of energy.

He looked up into the sky with a resolute gaze, muttering:

"Sooner or later, I will catch those scums one by one and bring these beasts to justice. Only in this way can the people, whose lives are already difficult, live a more stable life!"

After saying this, he strode out resolutely.

The next moment, his figure appeared in the room where Shen Changming was.

"What's the matter, Xiangyang?"

Shen Changming looked at Liu Xiangyang in some confusion. Why didn't Liu Xiangyang go back to heal his wounds at this time but came to find him instead?

"Sir, there are some things I want to confirm with you."

"You said."

"It's like this. I got the news that the black bear that caused the cholera in Ningtai Township and caused tens of thousands of casualties was cultivated by a mysterious organization. I don't know whether it is true or not, so I came to ask you for confirmation."

After hearing what Liu Xiangyang said, Shen Changming was silent. He did not answer Liu Xiangyang's question, but persuaded Liu Xiangyang:

"Let's stop here with Xiangyang."

In fact, sometimes not answering is also a form of acquiescence.

Liu Xiangyang understood that everything Lu Feipeng told him was true.

"why?"

He questioned Shen Changming.

“Xiangyang, it’s not that I didn’t tell you, since we received the information you reported last time, we have started the investigation;

When we found some clues, we reported the news to our superiors, who then asked us not to continue investigating."

"What information has the county found out?"

"This is not something you can know."

Liu Xiangyang stretched out his hand and slammed the stone table.

"Snapped!"

After the sound, he questioned Shen Changming:

"Master Shen, what do you mean by "it's not something I can know"?

As a result, more than 20,000 people in Ningtai Township have died at the hands of the Changsheng Cult. Don’t I even have the right to know about it?”

"Hey, Xiangyang, don't worry. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the higher-ups have issued an order that this matter stops with us, the Four Security Envoys. You are not allowed to disclose any information to others unless it is necessary."

Shen Changming did not get angry because Liu Xiangyang dared to slam his desk. Instead, he earnestly explained his difficulties to him.

Although Liu Xiangyang was very angry when he learned the truth, he knew that since the order had been given from above, it would be impossible for him to find out anything about the Changsheng Sect from the other party unless it was necessary.

"Since the Immortal Cult cannot speak, what about the Blood Red Alliance?"

Shen Changming still shook his head: "No."

Although he already knew in his heart that he had probably learned the matter of the Blood Red Alliance from Shen Changming, when he knew the answer, his brows still unconsciously frowned.

"This won't work, and that won't work either. But we should be able to find out about the situation in the Death Hall, right?"

"You even know about the Death Palace?"

It can be heard that Shen Changming was quite shocked when he said this.

Liu Xiangyang nodded and said, "Yeah, I just happened to know something."

“To be honest, it was by chance that the county learned of the existence of the Death Hall;

After receiving your report about the Immortal Cult and the Blood Red Alliance, we began to send people to secretly track down the news of these two forces.

One time, they found a member of the Immortal Cult, and when they were trying to capture him, they accidentally caught a member of the Death Hall;

This is how the county learned that there was such a person secretly. "

"Can you tell me more about the Death Palace?"

Shen Changming shook his head to indicate that he still couldn't tell.

Seeing that he could not get any information from Shen Changming, Liu Xiangyang could no longer sit still. He stood up and said to Shen Changming:

"I want to ask Lord He."

In response, Shen Changming could only smile bitterly and nodded, "It's up to you."

To be honest, he said this only because he had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The Lord He he mentioned was He Shiqiang, the Andong envoy of Fanyang County. He Shiqiang was also a member of their Inspection Department and belonged to the same department as Liu Xiangyang.

But when Liu Xiangyang heard Shen Changming say this, he already had the answer in his mind, and it would be useless even if he really asked He Shiqiang.

But even so, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if He Shiqiang really told him about the matter because he was from the same inspection department?

So under the gaze of Shen Changming, he took out an intermediate communication talisman and sent it to Envoy Anton in front of Shen Changming.

Intermediate communication talismans can transmit messages within a county, while the communication talismans used in Sanjia Village are elementary communication talismans.

The transmission distance of primary communication talismans is limited and they can only transmit messages within one township. In addition, the production cost is cheap, so they are widely circulated between towns and villages.

A primary communication talisman costs five silver coins, and an intermediate communication talisman costs one gold coin. You can buy twenty primary communication talismans.

Not long after the communication talisman was sent out, there was a reply. Liu Xiangyang glanced at Shen Changming, and then checked the content of the reply in front of him.

There were just a few words written on it, and it said: All matters are subject to the arrangements of Lord Shen.

This shows that He Shiqiang and Shen Changming have the same opinion on this matter, that is, this matter is not something he can know yet.

Actually, sometimes not telling is also a disguised form of protection.

Let’s talk about Hu Juncai again.

After the meeting, he found Bai Haiqing's former trusted subordinate and asked him to introduce the current situation of the Inspection Department to him.

When he learned that there was only one third-rank patrol guard in the Ningtai Township Patrol Office, a barely perceptible flash of disdain flashed across his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

A small place is a small place, and there is only one third-level patrol guard.

When he was in the Fanyang County Inspection Office, there were over a hundred level three patrol guards, and even three or four level four patrol guards.

But he had not thought about the difference between Fanyang County and Ningtai Township. The two places were simply worlds apart, and the staffing was naturally different;

However, there is one thing Hu Juncai forgot, that is, when he was in Fanyang County, he was only a third-level patrol guard.

But when Hu Jun heard that this third-level patrol guard's previous partner was also a third-level patrol guard, and therefore did not join that faction in the Si Mansion, he immediately had other ideas.

I only heard Hu Juncai say to that person:

"Go and invite Inspector Zhao over and tell him I have something important to discuss."

He could understand that Zhao Lei did not take sides before because of his partner, but now that you are alone, why don’t you take sides?

Thinking of this, Hu Juncai began to think of winning him over.

Zhao Lei's eyes turned when he got the news, and he immediately knew what the newly appointed Pingbei envoy wanted to see him about.

But he was not greedy for power and had no intention of relying on any party. He only wanted the people to live a stable life.

In this regard, his purpose is the same as Liu Xiangyang's.

"Master Hu, I heard that you have something to ask me?"

Hu Juncai pretended to have just learned of Zhao Lei's arrival, and he quickly came back to his senses from checking the jade slip and looked at Zhao Lei.

"Oh, it's Inspector Zhao."

After saying that, he quickly stood up and walked towards Zhao Lei, saying as he walked:

"Inspector Zhao, I have just arrived in Ningtai Township and I am still a little unfamiliar with the affairs of the office. I wonder if Inspector Zhao has time to accompany me to inspect Ningtai Township today?"

"What does it mean?"

Zhao Lei originally felt a little unhappy when he heard Hu Juncai's tone of voice.

But from what Hu Juncai said, it seemed that he wanted me to go out with him so that others would think that he, Hu Juncai, had just arrived in Ningtai Township and had already recruited a third-level patrol guard. You should think carefully about whether you want to join me or not.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei frowned and cursed in his heart:

"What the hell, you don't even give me a small reward, you don't even give me a big cake, right?

Bah! Do you really think I can’t do anything to you? If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being rude.”

However, Zhao Lei remained calm on the surface and said:

"Since you have invited me, I will accompany you today. But can I bring a few colleagues with me?"

"Huh? What's going on?"

I had just shown my intention to win him over, and this person was already rushing to climb up. Could it be that he saw something extraordinary about me?

Or was he overwhelmed by his own domineering aura?

Thinking of this, Hu Juncai couldn't help but feel proud, and said to himself: It seems that I really have the potential to become a high-ranking official.

"Okay, Inspector Zhao, go quickly."
