Li Huaiyun raised his hand and stopped the guards who came up, "Don't move. This case has been handed over to the Demon Slayer Division. Now we have confirmed that the deceased did die at the hands of a monster!"
"You have no right to take this body away."
When A Tian heard this, he wanted to put his hand on the handle of the knife, and then he realized that the knife was in Li Huaiyun's hand.
The man standing at the front did not speak, but stared at Li Huaiyun with his sharp eyes, thinking that this man was quite brave.
He didn't have any fear of the Demon Slayer Division. He slowly raised his hand and pointed at Li Huaiyun, "I was acting under orders. As for who is responsible for the case, I don't know. Besides, you are only a Class B member of the Demon Slayer Division." The following demon hunters are incapable of taking responsibility for this case."
Li Huaiyun snorted disdainfully, "No one is older or younger here. It just depends on whether they have the right to investigate this case."
"I was personally assigned by Sikyong to investigate. Whether I am capable or not is none of your business."
"Please leave!" Li Huaiyun pointed in the direction of the county government gate.
What he didn't expect was that the man walked up directly, without saying much, pushed him aside, and then ordered the guards to repackage the body and take it away.
Li Huaiyun raised his hand, pointed the sharp tip of the knife at the man, and shouted angrily, "You actually blocked the work of the Demon Slayer Department!"
"What I hate most is when someone points a knife at me!" In the midst of the flash of lightning, the man also took out his own saber.
It was a long knife as black as ink, and the pure black blade made the knife look like a black iron rod. I wonder if it was a color problem, but the knife seemed to have no sharp edge.
In that instant, the two knives collided with each other, bursting into flames.
The saber in Li Huaiyun's hand fell to the ground, his arms kept shaking, and his back was covered in cold sweat. It seemed that the saber was shot at the same time, but in fact, the man's saber went first, and he just passively blocked it.
This guy's knife is too fast!
The man put away his sword and asked others to take away the body on the stone table. He shook his head gently, "You are not a swordsman at all, and you actually pointed the sword at me! If I hadn't been merciful, your hand It’s long gone!”
"Let me try!" After hearing this, A Tian wanted to pick up the saber on the ground, but was stopped by Li Huaiyun. He said softly, "None of us are his opponents."
"Don't resist needlessly."
The two of them could only watch helplessly as the body was taken away by the people from the Ministry of War, and there was nothing they could do.
After the gang left, A Tian asked with concern, "A Yun, are you okay?"
Li Huaiyun waved his somewhat numb hand, "No! This guy should be merciful!" He thought that he might as well use a knife to fight, otherwise he would definitely get a wound on his hand.
At this moment, he felt an urgent urge to improve his cultivation.
A Tian picked up the sword from the ground, only to find a slight chip on the blade, which made him feel disappointed.
For monster hunters, it is very important to carry weapons with them, which can attack and resist monsters. This gap needs to be repaired by going to the weapons shop and spending some silver.
He had just lent some money to Li Huaiyun, but he was too embarrassed to talk to Li Huaiyun, so he thought that this small gap should not be a problem.
The two of them left the county government office and took a carriage directly to the Demon Slayer Division.
After returning to the Demon Slaying Division, Li Huaiyun took A Tian directly to the meeting hall where Sikyong and the helmsman were. The two of them were waiting at the steps outside the hall. The guards just entered the hall and reported inside.
A Tian stood there, holding the saber tightly in his hand, raising his head slightly, staring at the majestic hall above the steps.
He was extremely excited because he could finally meet Sikyong. If he left a good impression on Sikyong, he might be able to get a chance to be promoted, so that both his cultivation and salary could be improved.
Li Huaiyun stood there bored. For him, it was just to report a job and talk about the unfair treatment he encountered. Next time, he would go directly to the Ministry of War, move the body back, and then confront that person. , regain the place.
Before that, he had to quickly reach another level and put on good gloves.
He untied the rope of the glove and then took off the glove. The only advantage of the glove was that it would not touch the body during the autopsy, thus avoiding infection.
He looked at A Tian and found that he looked a little nervous and kept walking back and forth. He also held the saber in his left and right hands alternately.
"What’s wrong with you?"
A Tian was asked, he hesitated for a moment and responded, "No...it's nothing!"
"You're stammering when you speak. Are you worried?"
"Uh!" Seeing that he couldn't hide it, A Tian responded softly, "I can see Sikyong, and I also want to explain the situation at that time. I'm a little worried that I can't speak well."
"Ah? What's there to worry about!" Li Huaiyun laughed, "Don't worry so much. Sikyong is easy to talk to. You just need to tell the truth."
That's you! This is my first time meeting Sikyong, A Tian thought to himself. He was a little injured this time, and even his sword was a little damaged, so he got this opportunity.
He nodded slightly to Li Huaiyun, indicating that he understood.
The guard who reported the news came out of the inner hall and stood in front of the two of them. "Okay! Sikyong has agreed!"
Li Huaiyun and A Tian clasped their fists and saluted, then went up the steps to the meeting hall. As a result, the guard only stretched out his hand to stop A Tian.
"Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong? Brother!"
"Sikyong said that only Li Huaiyun was allowed to go up."
"Ah!" When A Tian heard this, his expression immediately darkened and he became a little overwhelmed. His eyes wandered around, not knowing where to look.
He tried to explain, "But I also went to the water prison with Ayun."
The guard was expressionless and shook his head, "Then I don't know. That's what Sikyong ordered."
A Tian took a step back, and the arm holding the saber shook slightly. His face darkened and his expression became distracted. He had been thinking about it since he came back from the Yamen, and he could think about Sikyong's report to the water prison with A Yun. , this is a great opportunity.
However, after arriving here, I realized that I had no chance at all. Only Li Huaiyun had this ability.
Li Huaiyun walked along the steps and strode towards the meeting hall. Outside the hall, he could see Sikyong, but found that A Tian did not follow him.
He turned around and saw the guard below reaching out to stop A Tian, with a look of reluctance on his face.
Then he guessed what was going on! So he turned around and walked down the steps again.
A Tian looked at Li Huaiyun next to him, his face full of surprise, "Why did you come down?"
Li Huaiyun looked at the guard and asked, "Can't A Tian go up?"
The guard looked at him with a look of curiosity as to why this man came back. "Yes, Sikyong said that you are only allowed to go alone."
"Brother, please inform Sikyong. I hope we can come together. A Tian has also fought fiercely with monsters at the scene."
The guard shook his head in confusion, complained in a low voice, then walked up the steps to the meeting hall to inform the Sikyong.
"Ah Yun, it's enough for you to go alone!"
"What are you talking about? The two of us investigated the case! It's impossible for me to take credit alone."
A Tian was very grateful to Li Huaiyun. His brother did not ignore him just for the sake of credit. "Thank you!"
Li Huai used his fist to push A Tian's chest, "We are brothers who work together, so you will be out of sight!"
"I really don't know how to thank you..."
"If you really want to thank me, brother, just ask me to go to Goulan a few times to listen to small songs."
Li Huaiyun actually wanted to go to Jiaofangsi, but a trip to that place would cost quite a bit of money. He also knew that with A Tian's wealth, he would be able to invite him to Goulan.
"No problem!" A Tian patted his chest and assured, "The Jiaofang Secretary can't afford it, but if you want to hook up, brother, I can still do it."
When this topic came up, the two of them suddenly became interested.
A Tian said softly, "I heard that there are several new oirans coming to the Jiaofang Division this time. They are all beautiful and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"real?"
"Then it's still fake? Anyone who can become an oiran must have outstanding talent!"
Li Huaiyun thought to himself, this is true. It's not like his time, where he couldn't do anything but shout.
"However, this person is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he must be exaggerating."
A Tian asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
"The four skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are very easy to learn, but if you want to master them, you need to spend a lot of time practicing. Do you think all the oirans in the Jiaofang Department are women with a spirit of study?"
"It's already pretty good if you can learn one thing, but I'm afraid it's all half-baked!"
"Half-assed?"
"He's the kind of guy who talks a lot about himself, but when it comes to actual combat, he throws away his armor."
A Tian looked confused, "Your analysis means that those courtesans are not as good as those women in Goulan?"
"Nonsense, for us, spending less is real!"
"Yes, yes!" He agreed with this view.
The guard came back again. He glanced at Li Huaiyun and thought that this guy was just a D-level monster hunter. Why did Sikyong still listen to him?
He cupped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully, "You two, Sikyong lets you go up."
"Thank you!" They smiled at each other and walked down the steps to the hall.
Arriving at the hall, Sikyong was sitting in the middle. Only two helmsmen were present, namely Yuan Xiu from Jiange Pavilion and Liu Pingzhong from Tiebi Pavilion.
The other two helmsmen didn't know why they didn't come.
Liu Pingzhong, the helmsman of Iron Pen Pavilion, practices painting and uses an iron pen as a weapon. This is a spiritual weapon called Xingzhen, which can turn paintings drawn with ink into real objects.
Moreover, this man has an extraordinary memory, is well-read, and is truly a genius.
Ever since Sikyong mentioned the two lines of poems written by Li Huaiyun to him, he has been extremely interested in this person. He also secretly discussed with Menghu Yuan Xiu about bringing Li Huaiyun into his Tiebi Pavilion.
And it offered many good conditions.
However, Yuan Xiu was well aware of Li Huaiyun's ability and flatly refused without any room for negotiation, which made Liu Pingzhong a little unhappy.
Qin Gang picked up the tea cup, blew it gently, and then took a sip of the fragrant tea. He held the tea and glanced at the two people standing, "You seemed to have come up just now!"
"Report to Sikyong. This case was investigated by A Tian and I. Therefore, if we want to report it, it must be two people together."
Yuan Xiu sat there, still in the same posture, holding the sword in his arms, "Speak of loyalty!"
Liu Pingzhong looked at Li Huaiyun and nodded slightly. He had a good impression of this person. He was not the kind of person who takes credit for himself.
Qin Gang put down his cup, "Okay, tell us about the case you found."
