Dongshan Park.
Inside a luxury tent.
The wind is howling outside and the bitter cold is biting.
A set of gray crystal heating equipment was installed in the tent, and a large number of heat-transfer wires were embedded in the thick pile carpet. The heat was continuously emitted, making the place as warm as spring.
This is exactly the treatment of a big shot.
Cheng Han thought of Qian Qingqing's beautiful face and every detail of getting along with her, and couldn't help but whisper: "Maybe it's time to give her an explanation."
When he first came to this world, his female deskmate gave him a lot of help.
Since we have known each other since childhood, how can we forget each other in the world?
As a human being, you must never forget your roots!
Ying Beibei stood nearby, watching the glass on the wooden table turn into a stone cup, and couldn't help but ask: "Director, did something happen just now?"
Cheng Han nodded and said, "The guard Xuanshi is here."
The female secretary couldn't help but click her tongue.
It is extremely difficult for other officials to seek an audience with the guarding Xuanshi.
But luckily for the director, the guard Xuanshi came to his door every now and then.
Cheng Han seemed to be talking to himself or asking for advice: "The guard Xuanshi hinted that some officials actually found connections with Xuange to put pressure on me. What should I do?"
Ying Beibei was shocked when she heard this.
She naturally understood that the matter had developed to this point and had evolved into a confrontation between the director and Xuanshi. The matter had really become serious.
Although his boss is a rare genius, his strength is not as good as Xuanshi after all. If there is a conflict between the two parties, they will probably suffer a big loss.
The female secretary moved her lips and boldly added: "Your purpose of shocking the council hall has been achieved, why not..."
The following words were not said, but it is not difficult to guess - it is better to leave it at that and stop escalating the problem.
Cheng Han smiled and said: "The officials currently arrested will be escorted to Black Mountain Fort soon. When Xuanshi says another word, they will be released."
He shook his head: "With all my busy work, wouldn't it all be in vain?"
Ying Beibei said nothing, with a default attitude.
She felt that since Xuan Shi intervened, this was the inevitable outcome.
Cheng Han sighed: "If I stop now, won't I have to watch a group of scum jumping around in front of my eyes all day long?"
The female secretary hesitated and said softly: "Director, no one can do it better than you."
Although these are words of comfort, another meaning is that accepting reality is a wiser choice.
Cheng Han stood up slowly: "Let's go to the political meeting hall."
Ying Beibei was stunned for a moment.
Since the Administrator concurrently served as the Grand Consul, he has never set foot in the Council Hall. Why did he suddenly want to go there today?
Could it be that the Director is planning to compromise?
"Uh-huh!"
The windproof curtain made of transparent resin was lifted open.
The cold air rushed in immediately.
Cheng Han took a breath of cold air, and his face showed a hint of coldness: "'Zongchang', right?"
just now.
He quietly made a deduction.
The results showed that the root cause of this incident was a mysterious scholar named "Zong Chang".
After the Omniscient Eye was promoted to level 7, his deduction ability became more powerful. Even though he had never seen the other party, he still obtained a lot of information.
Master Zongchang was promoted to Xuanshi at the age of thirty-six. He is now more than 160 years old. He has experienced more than two decades of ups and downs and is quite powerful.
So far, Zongchang has married nearly thirty wives and fathered no less than fifty descendants.
This is not surprising.
According to the law, Xuanshi was not limited to only five wives in his lifetime, but officially registered living spouses, with a maximum of five.
An important point needs to be drawn here - being alive.
In other words, if one of the wives unfortunately dies, or the marriage contract is terminated by agreement between the two parties, Xuanshi can marry another one.
As for Zong Chang, who lives so long, he also loves beauty. After so many years, he has accumulated so many spouses on his personal resume.
*
Half an hour later.
Winter Garden.
Plum Blossom Building.
This two-story building was originally a residence for the Fang family's servants, but has now been transformed into a temporary prison for criminals.
The thirty-eight officials who were dismissed were all imprisoned in Meihua Building.
at this time.
Former Director of Finance, Wei Shenghao, is on trial.
"We have checked the accounts of the Finance Department. In the past ten years, at least 36,000 gold coins have gone missing."
A burly arbitrator looked at the fat middle-aged man who was handcuffed on the chair and shouted sternly: "Wei, please tell me the truth!"
Wei Shenghao looked calm and answered the question: "My cousin is married to Mr. Zongchang Xuanshi of Xuan Pavilion. You'd better be polite to me."
The arbiter immediately choked.
Wei Shenghao's tone showed a hint of pride: "Now that a bigger figure has intervened, no matter how powerful the authority of the Cheng Dynasty is, can it be greater than Master Xuanshi?"
"I said that you have been in the Arbitration Office for so long. You should know how to check the direction of the wind before doing anything, right? I advise you not to rush to take sides!"
obviously.
Although Wei Shenghao was imprisoned in Winter Garden, some powerful bureaucrats still found a way to pass the news to this guy.
The arbitrator's expression changed continuously, and finally he said: "The interrogation lasted too long in the morning, let's take a quarter of an hour's rest."
This person took the lead and walked out quickly.
The other arbitrators looked at each other and then poured out of the interrogation room.
This is undoubtedly an excuse.
The real reason is that the arbitrators need to report to the deputy director immediately and discuss the next countermeasures.
If what Wei Shenghao said is true, the Arbitration Bureau should avoid getting involved in the fight between big shots, otherwise it will be shattered if not careful.
"boom!"
The door is closed.
Wei Shenghao showed a proud smile: "You bastard named Cheng, Mr. Xuanshi can crush you to death with one finger. How dare you continue to be so arrogant on horseback?"
The guy snorted again: "I heard that Xuan Ge only plans to let this bastard serve as the chief consul for half a year. It seems that Xuan Ge is not too satisfied with him.
"As long as I wait for half a year, wait for this bastard to be ousted, and then find a way to clear things up, what's the difficulty in returning to the Finance Department?"
at this time.
Wei Shenghao suddenly discovered that in the large mirror hanging on the opposite wall, his own appearance had undergone extremely terrifying changes.
His fat face actually melted away like a candle.
Large black hairs quickly sprouted from the pores all over his body.
The former director fell into a state of extreme panic.
What happened?
How did I become like this?
After a moment.
Wei Shenghao felt overwhelming pain, as if he had been swallowed by a monster and his body was being crushed by countless teeth.
No.
This is not physical pain.
But it comes from the extreme pain of the soul.
Wei Shenghao instinctively realized that this should be some terrifying existence that was devouring his soul and occupying his body.
He screamed desperately for help, but only a small sound came out of his throat.
"Ho~ho~"
Wei Shenghao saw again that the figure in the mirror had undergone even more horrifying changes.
The facial features disappeared, leaving only a pair of red eyeballs and a terrifyingly big mouth. The black hair on the skin grew to one finger long, and then seemed to come alive, twisting like a snake.
This moment.
A thought popped into Wei Shenghao's mind - could I have turned into a weird "faceless monster"?
Subsequently.
His consciousness was completely swallowed up.
It can also be said that this guy is dead.
"Hiss~"
The blood-curdling roar instantly spread throughout the Plum Blossom Building.
*
Government building.
Inside the Grand Archon's office.
A brilliant halo of light was suspended in the air out of thin air.
Cheng Han sat comfortably on the luxurious seat, feeling the right soft touch under his buttocks, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He snorted in his heart: "The idiot named Wei had a chance to survive, but you dragged Xuanshi into it. Isn't this looking for death?"
A living person suddenly turned into a faceless monster. It was naturally Cheng Han's secret manipulation.
Previously, the omniscient eye analyzed the crystallization of Ms. Snake's magical power, and combined with the knowledge of the three divine objects, unexpectedly deduced a method that gave rise to strangeness.
Go into more detail.
Each snake pupil of Ms. Snake has millions of strange vertical pupils, and they have a strange name - Faceless Pupils.
If any creature with insufficient strength is glanced at by the Faceless Pupil, it will be instantly contaminated by divine power and completely transformed into a terrifying faceless giant monster.
The so-called faceless monster is equivalent to the "lower version" of the faceless monster.
Cheng Han muttered secretly: "If you can dig out a faceless pupil from Ms. Snake, maybe you can figure out how to create a faceless monster."
He wrote it down and included it in his collection list.
Although the current strength is insufficient, it does not matter, the future is long!
In the halo screen.
"Hiss~"
The faceless monster opened its mouth wide and spit out a large set of black tentacles, each with serrated teeth, as if it was sensing the scent of its prey.
This scene looked extremely horrifying.
soon.
The monster retracted its tentacles, ran a few steps on all fours, and slammed into the wall.
"boom!"
Just heard a bang.
A big hole was broken into the wall.
Bricks and gravel flew out, and large amounts of dust spread, completely blocking the view.
On the other side was a temporary prison, and several retired officials detained in it all screamed in panic.
"It hurts!"
"Someone is coming!"
next moment.
The shouts turned into shrill screams.
The faceless monster knocked down a middle-aged man fiercely, spit out a tentacle and "licked" the target's face, scraping away the flesh and blood in an instant, revealing the pale bones.
"Ah~"
The wail lasted for only a moment.
Then it stopped abruptly.
Because the big tentacles quickly penetrated into the middle-aged man's mouth, penetrated deep into the other party's internal organs, and began to greedily suck the flesh and blood from the organs.
It can be clearly seen that this guy's belly is bulging high, and his belly is also rising and falling.
This was an extreme pain beyond imagination. The middle-aged man was shaking violently in pain, but he couldn't even shout a single word out of his mouth.
Cheng Han immediately looked away and cursed in his heart: "It's so disgusting to step on a horse!"
There was no warmth in his eyes: "What about Xuanshi? Xuanshi can't save the people I want to kill!"
According to the order issued by the Black Armor Army, criminals sentenced to more than ten years in prison must be transferred to the Black Mountain Camp. If the normal process is followed, this group of people will fall into the hands of Xuanshi.
He couldn't tolerate this and simply decided to kill them all in one go.
In fact.
The reason why Cheng Han did not return to the Winter Garden but suddenly came to the Council Hall was to create an excuse for "not being present".
A strange creature suddenly appeared in the prison and killed all the prisoners.
It's not my business?
Cheng Han's heart moved.
Another round of halo emerged.
The shot in the center shows a pretty figure with a ponytail.
It was Qian Qingqing.
"Hey! Ha!"
As before, the little girl held a big gun in both hands and was practicing sweating profusely.
Cheng Han glanced at it and felt slightly surprised: "The source sense seal is about to be condensed. This is faster than I expected."
