The next day.
early morning.
County Lieutenant Li Mingqi had a gloomy face. His eyes slowly swept across the bodies of the police officers in front of him, and he felt a sense of sullenness in his heart. He thought he would be able to leave safely until the end of his term.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan found him early this morning and used the power of the patrol angel to order all the county police officers to obey orders. Even he had to obey orders.
Even if you have any opinions, you have to wait until afterwards to report them to the superior.
As for now, just obey!
He was much lower than Zhang Xuan in terms of power and strength, and he really didn't dare to resist.
But I still have a lot of complaints in my heart.
After serving as an official for a long time, I really don’t want to work hard anymore. Who are the monsters from the Wu Sheng Sect? Those are demonic people who kill without blinking an eye. Fighting against them is a life-and-death fight!
He never expected that Zhang Xuan would tell him that the hiding place of the Wusheng Cult thieves in Ping'an County was actually Ci'en Temple!
When Li Mingqi looked at everyone, Chen Yuan was also looking at Li Mingqi calmly.
Zhang Xuan did not send people to besiege Ci'en Temple alone, but planned to let the county government's policemen try the water of those Wu Sheng Cult monsters. As for whether they would get the news in advance...
To be honest, it's difficult.
First of all, the news about Wusheng Cult in Ci'en Temple only spread today.
Secondly, Chen Yuan didn't think Zhang Xuan would not send someone to keep an eye on Ci'en Temple in advance.
Through yesterday's brief contact, Chen Yuan initially judged that Zhang Xuan was as cautious as him.
"This officer has received definite news that the traces of the Wu Sheng Cult demons have been discovered..." Li Mingqi briefly said a few words to boost morale.
It's nothing more than rewards for killing the enemy, caressing for injuries, and heavy punishment for those who escape from battle!
"Set off!"
Li Mingqi got on a tall horse and led the way.
Behind him was Chen Yuan leading a dozen cavalry, followed by nearly a hundred fast yamen servants and more white servants divided into two teams, following behind.
In the county government office.
County Magistrate Wu Qingfeng sipped tea with calm eyes.
Soon, a government servant hurried in:
"Sir, County Lieutenant Li has already set off with his people."
"I know, let's go down."
"I resign from my humble position."
County Prime Minister Zhao Shuping, standing next to Wu Qingfeng, frowned and said:
"Sir, once the Wusheng Cult of Demons is revealed, it will be your fault. County Lieutenant Li took action without even saying hello. It is simply contempt for you."
"Moreover, they haven't reported any information to us yet."
Wu Qingfeng put the tea cup on the table and said calmly:
"Shu Ping, do you really think so?"
"The Wusheng Cult demon spreads cholera in the county, and everyone has it and punishes it. County Lieutenant Li has done something important that can benefit the people. How can he be punished solely for his fault?"
"This..." Zhao Shuping's tone was concealed.
"Shu Ping, you and I have been together for a long time, right?" Wu Qingfeng turned to Zhao Shuping.
"When your Excellency took office in Ping'an County, the lower official saw that Your Excellency was a good official who asked for orders for the people, so he naturally attached himself to me." Zhao Shuping immediately handed over his hand.
"Haha...I treat you well, right?"
Zhao Shuping had a vague premonition in his heart and whispered:
"My lord, it is good for you to treat humble positions."
"Then how did you repay me?"
"Dedicate yourself to your humble duties..."
"boom!"
Wu Qingfeng moved the teacup in his hand and dropped it directly to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, several police officers rushed out of the door and put their knives on Zhao Shuping's neck.
"Sir...this...why is this?"
Zhao Shuping said in a panic.
"Hmph, I have received the exact information that you are the secret agent of the Wu Sheng Cult hiding in the county government. I am so confused that I didn't realize that you had already colluded with Huang Xing."
"Now that I think about it, you were the one who silenced Huang Xing behind his back. How cruel!"
"I'm afraid Huang Xing is still dreaming about you rescuing him in prison, right?"
Wu Qingfeng stared at Zhao Shuping and scolded.
"My lord... I'm the official, I'm the official who was wronged..." Zhao Shuping stuttered a little, and he had lost his sense of control.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later, suppress it!"
Wu Qingfeng waved his hand, and several government officials pressed Zhao Shuping out of the lobby.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Qingfeng said to the screen on the side:
"When you get back, don't forget to tell Mr. Zhang that the traitor Zhao Shuping has been captured."
Li Mingqi met Zhang Xuan, and Wu Qingfeng was no exception. If they wanted to take action, they had to take action together to arrest all the people hiding in the county government.
It was Chen Yuan's guess that Zhao Shuping had colluded with Wusheng Cult, but through his story, Zhang Xuan basically concluded that there must be a relationship, so he directly found Wu Qingfeng and sent his patrol guards to follow him.
On the surface it was to protect his safety, but in reality it was to monitor him.
...
Ci'en Temple.
Back mountain.
There were several people standing in front of a pool of blood that was several feet wide. They looked at the smelly blood pool in front of them, with mixed expressions of excitement and awe in their eyes.
In the center of the blood pool, there was an altar with various mysterious lines carved on it, which extended into a palm-sized depression at the altar. It was wrapped in blood and seemed to be gestating something.
"Subordinate, I have seen the Holy Envoy!"
The eyebrowless monk standing at the front, with some uncontrollable excitement on his face, bowed to the blood pool in front of him.
His name is Jie Nan, and he is now the supervisor of Ci'en Temple.
Several men in black robes standing next to him, wearing masks with ghost faces on their faces, followed Jie Nan and said in unison:
"My subordinates have seen the Holy Envoy!"
The voices of several people echoed in the empty cave.
After a long time, a hoarse voice came out from the blood pool:
"It's difficult to quit, four ghosts, you did a great job!"
"When I fully recover from my injuries, I will be generous with my reward!"
"It is our honor to serve the Holy Envoy!"
Jie Nan said loudly.
"Jie Jie Jie...Jie Nan, I did not misjudge you. Don't worry, you will get what you want. It's quick. I will be able to recover in three days at most."
"And this evil thing will eventually be controlled by me!"
Under the blood pool, the sound of sinister laughter continued, seeming to be very proud.
In order to get this evil object, he was seriously injured and had to hide here for more than two months. In the past two months, he tried to control this evil object several times, but unfortunately they all failed in the end. end.
For this reason, he had to use the secret method of the holy religion to completely suppress the evil nature of this thing, but the price was that until he succeeded, he could not move at all and could only draw some blood for food every day.
Even when a disciple he valued very much was killed by the Yamen, he chose to endure it.
He suppressed his bloodthirsty desire. As long as he recovered from his injuries and took control of this spiritual object, he would have a trump card that could make a comeback.
No matter how bad it is, if you dedicate it to the above, he can still get great benefits!
