After spending a few days without incident, Chen Yuan put down his urgent thoughts and turned his full attention to practice!
It is true that his cultivation has reached the peak of Qi absorption, but he can still polish his foundation, or practice wind-controlling body techniques and other methods.
He has finally figured it out. Luck cannot be forced. Judging from past experience, maybe if he doesn't take the initiative to look for it, luck will come to him.
That being the case...
Just practice slowly and it will be fine.
But as soon as Chen Yuan made up his mind, Tao Qingyuan summoned him with a waist card and wanted to give him a new task. For this... Chen Yuan was somewhat looking forward to it.
The whereabouts of the Son of Destiny cannot be said to be related to this mission.
Just like the last time we captured Ren Changyi, his grandson was brought out.
"This mission requires you to track down a person!"
Tao Qingyuan's expression was as calm as ever, and he could not see any emotion, anger, sorrow or joy.
"Trace?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuan was a little surprised. He thought it was still the same as last time, which sect was he going to destroy? Relatively speaking, it takes too long to track down the prisoners.
There is great instability, and it may even drag down Chen Yuan's time. It is far less simple than exterminating a family and killing people.
"Not bad..." Tao Qingyuan nodded.
He knew Chen Yuan quite well. Whether he was tracking down prisoners in Ping'an County or in Nanling Prefecture, Chen Yuan's methods of solving mysteries were very extraordinary.
So when he received this task, the first thing that came to his mind was Chen Yuan.
"I wonder who the prisoner is?"
Chen Yuan asked.
But there was one sentence that Chen Yuan kept in his heart but did not say out loud, that is, he suspected that the person he might be tracking down was related to his luck. Thinking of this, Chen Yuan became somewhat interested.
"A big case happened in Cao County two days ago. Not only the prefect was angry, but also the governor was a little concerned. You have to take on this responsibility well.
If the case can be concluded in a short period of time, your name will probably appear in Lord Zhou Mu's mouth, which will be of great use to your future development. "
"And Mr. Zhou Mu is good at promoting people with potential..."
At this point, Chen Yuan had already understood clearly.
If he can be appreciated by Lord Zhou Mu, Chen Yuan's future development will be better, and he can even be transferred to work beside Lord Zhou Mu.
A state shepherd of a state, a third-grade official with real power. Although he is a civil servant, his status is very high. He is stronger than the higher-level patrolling golden envoys. He is a real official of the frontier.
Compared with the county lieutenant and the county magistrate who are equal, the Xuntian Qingshi and the magistrate are not subordinate to each other. The Yizhou State Shepherd is also half the supervisor of the Xuntian Golden Envoy in name.
Sometimes you have to do what you are told.
Looking around the world, there are less than ten such powerful officials, and some state capitals have no such concept of state pastor at all...
It was a new position created by the emperor a few years ago to deal with the increasingly unstable situation in the world.
"My lord, despite your orders, I will do my best in my humble position."
Chen Yuan said quickly.
Tao Qingyuan said "hmm" and began to describe the specific matters of the case:
"Two days ago, a man in green shirt from Cao County..."
After listening, Chen Yuan was quite shocked.
Several big families were slaughtered, no chickens or dogs were left, all the county officials were killed, and the swordsman in blue walked away.
This was quite a shocking case of massacre of the county government. No wonder Lord Zhifu was furious, because this was completely contempt for the majesty of the imperial court.
When Wu Shengjiao did this before, they were also severely punished by the imperial court.
The imperial court can allow some political forces to be arrogant to a certain extent, but it will never tolerate such a serious crime similar to treason. Otherwise, once someone follows suit, the imperial court will be doomed.
Nowadays, Jianghu is so powerful that the imperial court turns a blind eye and will not act arbitrarily in order to stabilize the overall situation, but this kind of thing cannot be tolerated.
Even some powerful factions would not provoke the imperial court so nakedly. At most, they would just kill a few officials.
If there is trouble, the court will even whitewash it as a corrupt official.
After being shocked, Chen Yuan turned his attention to 'Cao County'.
Chen Yuan was somewhat familiar with this county not far from Ping'an County. After all, he personally led the annihilation of the Liu family and had dealt with some forces.
When he suddenly heard the news that they were dead, Chen Yuan did not gloat or feel sorry for them. He just suddenly thought of a possibility.
The swordsman in blue shirt slaughtered these families so purposefully, he definitely had deep hatred, and even lost his mind and destroyed the county government.
Could this... be the person he had imagined before?
Yes, when he destroyed the Liu family, Chen Yuan had thought of a great possibility, that is, Liu Changkong, who was rumored to have been missing for three months, was actually not dead!
One day he will come back for revenge.
Don't blame him for thinking this way, it's just that this routine is too old.
The dog author only has so much talent, so isn’t it easy for people to think of him?
Of course, this is only a possibility at the moment. For details, he still needs to take a look at the files in the Tianxian Division to find out who the dead people are!
"how?"
After Tao Qingyuan finished speaking, he paused for a moment to give Chen Yuan enough time to react.
Talking loudly is not a skill, being able to practice what you say is the real skill.
"Since the swordsman in blue shirt slaughtered those people, it must not have been for no reason. I guess he may have some deep hatred. Starting from this, it is not difficult to find out his identity.
But if you want to find him, unless he continues to come out and take action, it will be really difficult to hide somewhere..." Chen Yuan whispered.
"I know it's difficult, so I summoned you. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"You must do your best in your humble position."
"Um."
"I want to see the specific files on the matter as the most basic clue."
"That's what it's supposed to be like, go ahead."
"I resign from my humble position."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Watching his back, Tao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, hoping that Chen Yuan could live up to his expectations and handle this case beautifully.
Only by showing his own value can he better support Chen Yuan.
Tao Qingyuan still valued him quite a lot, especially after he was on the Qianlong Ranking. Otherwise, he would not have gone to Tingyuxuan to stand up when he heard that he had killed Beile.
Ordinary patrol angels don't get this kind of treatment, which is almost as good as Jian Zhangxuan.
Regarding Zhang Xuan, Tao Qingyuan hoped that he would be safe so that he could communicate with his superiors. He was not someone he could bet on, and at most it was just for good luck.
But Chen Yuan is different. He has no background. The only deep relationship he has is with Zhang Xuan. If he supports Chen Yuan wholeheartedly, he will most likely be rewarded in the future.
Provided he didn't die.
That's why he first thought of Chen Yuan when this case shocked Nanling Mansion. In addition to his own abilities, he also hoped that he could stand out.
Even showing up to Mr. Zhou Mu...
Oh, what a worry!
...
Xuntian Division's Documents Library.
Chen Yuan easily found the files on the massacre case in Cao County. These files were all dictated by some people in Cao County and information obtained by the Supervision Department of the Sky Patrol Division.
Very detailed.
They didn't know who the blue-shirted swordsman was with his face covered, but the identities of the dead were still very easy to find out.
After reading through all the families carefully, Chen Yuan's previous thoughts became stronger and stronger, because these families, including the people from the county government, had one thing in common.
That is, they once threatened the Liu family together!
He forced them to give up their interests, forced the Liu family to give in, and even got all the Liu family's properties!
Almost all the evidence points to the man who was once rumored to be missing, Liu Changkong, the eldest son of Liu!
He is said to be the number one genius in Cao County in decades, the hope of the Liu family's rise.
Chen Yuan curled his lips and looked slightly cold.
Even these people who oppressed the Liu family are dead, then...
He, the culprit who destroyed the Liu family, would Liu Changkong miss him?
The answer is of course impossible!
Fortunately, Chen Yuan didn't have any flaws or worries. Liu Changkong probably wouldn't kill Wang Ping and others. After all, no one in Cao County knew that they had a good relationship.
Just a superior and a subordinate...
Chen Yuan has a great reputation, especially in Caoxian County, Ping'an County. His qualifications are easy to check. His parents died without any worries. He was transferred to Nanling Mansion as a patrol angel.
He guessed that if nothing unexpected happened, Liu Changkong should be on his way to Nanling Mansion now, preparing to intercept and kill him for revenge.
He had some knowledge of Liu Changkong's strength. Before he disappeared, he was at the Ning Qi level. According to the routine... Bah, if nothing unexpected happens, the guy will only be able to break through to the Ningsha realm at most.
He can handle it!
Of course, some preparations must be made in advance. If he dares to come, he will definitely die!
For this reason, Chen Yuan decided to stay in Nanling Fucheng for three days. If the person didn't come to him within three days, he might have guessed the wrong person.
Or he didn't dare to come to Fucheng to fight.
After all, there are powerful men like the Qingshi Duwei who know the secrets of the imperial court.
The government won't talk to him about loyalty. Once he shows up, he will definitely end up attacking him.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan felt relieved.
Now he was worried that Liu Changkong would not dare to come, and he would have to come forward as a bait, but in that case, it would be a bit troublesome.
...
...
North of Nanling City.
On the broad Yunjiang River, a passenger ship swam down from other state capitals. A young man in a green shirt, carrying a long sword, stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, looking at the gradually growing Nanling City. .
He...Liu Changkong will avenge dozens of members of the Liu family today, and use Chen Yuan's head to pay tribute to the spirits of his parents, brothers and sisters!
"I am coming..."
Liu Changkong said to himself with a cold expression.
He did not think about assassination, but killed Chen Yuan openly and openly, as a challenger.
Chen Yuan is on the Hidden Dragon List. It is normal for a genius to challenge him. I am afraid no one will know his true purpose in a short time.
"call..."
A cold wind howled.
Liu Changkong stared at the figure wielding a sword in front of him with wide eyes.
