In the following days, several powerful men from Tiandao Academy stayed in Qingyun City, the imperial capital.
They collected information from various channels for investigation, and checked all the women around Jun Wuxie.
Among them, An Ning has the most information, followed by Xu Yanning.
Regarding Jingya, they found very limited information.
Although Jingya has always been with Jun Wuxie, she has been in the eyes of the world for too little time, so people rarely know her.
"His senior sister can directly exclude all the women around Jun Wuxie, including those geniuses who only appeared next to him this year."
"Among the remaining people, An Ning is definitely not there. Judging from the life trajectory and experience of this princess, there is no sign of reincarnation at all."
"That Xu Yanning once entered the Seven Kills Tower. Based on the analysis of various information, she should be a person from the lower world, so it can be ruled out."
"Now only Nanli Jingya is left. We haven't figured out why this previous-generation saint of the demon clan is hiding in Qingzhou. If it is because of her quarrel with Tangshe, she won't be hiding in Qingzhou. Where can’t I go to a place like this, on the vast ancient planet Canglan?”
"The problem now is that all the news says that Jun Wuxie is in this city, but no trace of him has been found in the palace or Qingyun Cave, and Nanli Jingya is not there either. We can't carry out any investigation on him. Observe carefully, it’s hard to make a judgment.”
"Hmph! Those elder kings know who Tiandao's reincarnation is, but they refuse to tell them. Otherwise, there would be no such trouble!"
"Okay, don't complain. The elder kings can't get answers from them. What's the use of you and me complaining here. If they don't tell us, can't we find it? It just takes more time. Lord Tiandao Why should you worry about the art of discerning the heavens taught to you?”
"Why are you anxious? Take your time, there is plenty of time. Master Tiandao only asked us to complete such a task, and did not set a time limit, so we just need to wait. Jun Wuxie and Nanli Jingya, even if they are not in this city, will eventually We are going to come back. We have lived for tens of thousands of years, so many years have passed, why do we still care about waiting for this long time?"
"In this way, I will stay in this city, and you can go and see other cities."
A strong person made such a suggestion, and the other strong people did not object, as if they had reached a consensus.
…
Time flies, day after day.
The weather of the dynasty is getting better and better, people are full of passion for life and full of hope for the future.
The Dawn Dynasty seemed harmonious and prosperous, not like it had just experienced a war for a few months.
But in this seemingly harmonious environment, there is also an undercurrent hidden.
Since the dynasty had just been established, there were too many things to do, and various things were prioritized.
For example, although the investigation of former and current officials and military generals has been ongoing, it is still in the verification stage.
The results of the investigation have not been announced, but those under investigation have become anxious as time goes by.
Some people have already begun to prepare for how to deal with the incident, and some have even begun to transfer assets, flee the city, and hide to avoid disaster.
In recent times, many unjust and wrongful cases have been re-accepted and investigated, and a number of people have been punished, but they are all petty officials and minor officials, and the superiors involved have not touched them.
In the imperial study room of the palace, An Ning stood in front of the desk, flipping through the memorials presented by the Supervision Department. Her breathing was so angry that her breathing was disordered, and her eyes flashed with cold light.
"These bastards!"
She threw the memorial on the table, then picked it up and handed it to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu flipped through it, his face also livid.
For more than half a year, the Inspection Department led by Holy Son of the Void and Holy Son of Kamikaze has traveled around the cities of the dynasty, collected too much information, and obtained all the criminal evidence of most officials in each city.
What these people did was simply shocking.
Before seeing the contents of the memorial slips, Rao Shi'an Ning and Yun Shu had already made psychological preparations and tried to think of the matter in a serious direction beforehand. However, after they truly learned the truth, they were extremely shocked. I can’t even believe it!
Inside the jade slip is a summary of the inspections by the Supervision Department. There is so much content in it that if you read it all side by side, it will be thousands of times more exciting than reading a folk novel.
There are so many jaw-dropping things in it.
Take a random example, such as the county magistrate of a small city, a seventh-grade sesame official, but his willfulness towards power is simply outrageous.
It is recorded above that the county guard had a dream one night. The next day, he told his subordinates about the dream, and the people around him helped him realize it.
Cover the sky with one hand and do whatever you want!
This kind of thing is more likely to happen in cities farther away from the imperial capital.
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I really think of myself as the local emperor who manages one-third of an acre of land!"
An Ning was so angry that her body was shaking.
Although I had been exposed to anti-corruption when I helped Prince Ning manage political affairs in the past, because the verification manpower at that time was far less powerful than those in the Supervision Department now, many things could not be investigated clearly, and most of the information obtained was false.
In some places, in order to make money, nearly ten kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been added without authorization, causing people to live in dire straits and bones often frozen to death on the roadside.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in remote counties.
Those small cities were too far away from each other. In the past, there was no teleportation array, and the news was blocked and it was difficult to spread.
Both An Ning and Prince Ning were shocked because they didn't know until today that people were actually starving to death and freezing to death.
Although the dynasty was now established and new laws were promulgated, the officials and merchants in various cities had restrained themselves a lot due to the power of the kings and gods, and people no longer froze to death and starved to death.
But these things were real once, and not too long ago.
The direct culprit that caused this human tragedy is still sitting in his position, enjoying a generous life and high-quality resources!
"I! I wish I could cut them into pieces right now!"
An Ning's face was full of frost. There were too many people recorded in the memorial slips. This was an extremely astonishing number.
There are more than 10,000 cities in the entire dynasty. To date, the Supervisory Department has investigated only more than 1,000 cities. In just these more than 1,000 cities, the number of people involved in the case is already over one million.
On average, there are more than a thousand salary earners in a city who know how to break the law, play with power, and prey on the common people. This number accounts for almost four-fifths of the total number of officials in each city.
"Hmph! Do they think they can get away with the bad things they did in the past if they calm down now? Keep these accounts in mind, and when the time is right, they will be settled together! You two continue to investigate, and every city must be investigated. It is clear that the emperor’s dynasty cannot tolerate the existence of such filth!”
"Follow the emperor's orders!"
After the Holy Son of the Void and the Holy Son of the Wind bowed down and bowed, they exited the imperial study.
"When will the Emperor plan to take action?"
King Ning looked at An Ning and said that this matter was not a trivial matter, because there were so many people involved in the case, and he could not go to war without making sufficient preparations.
Otherwise, the order of each city will fall into chaos.
"This matter cannot be solved perfectly by us. It needs to be reported to the King and God for his decision."
An Ning responded like this, and Prince Ning and Yun Shu both nodded in agreement.
…
Qingyun Cave Sky, Zhenwu Peak, Jun Wuxie and Jingya's courtyard, in front of the stone table under the tree.
In the past, Jingya often liked to sit here, but now that Jingya is not here, the person sitting in front of the stone table is replaced by the extremely beautiful Linglong.
She stretched out her palms as white as gelatin, holding some white petals that had fallen from the tree.
"It seems these people won't let it go..."
She whispered to herself, her eyes indifferent.
She had already sensed the arrival of several powerful men in the realm of the Holy Ancestors from the imperial dynasty. She knew about these people before they even set foot in the imperial capital.
The aura of these powerful men was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, because it had been a long time since he had sensed this aura.
The true energy cultivated from the [Haoran Tiangang Jue] of Zhongjing Tiandao Academy has an extremely special aura.
This eternal force has a long history and a profound foundation.
When she was in charge of Yi Dao Sect, Tiandao Academy had already existed for a very long time.
To this day, this force is still strong.
It is said that their existence has some connection with the way of heaven.
A few months ago, several Saint Ancestor Realm masters from Tiandao Academy suddenly came to Qingzhou. The purpose was self-evident and there was no need to think about it. It was related to Jingya.
However, these people have not verified yet and are not yet sure that Jingya is the person they are looking for.
"I thought that Senior Sister would be able to rule the dynasty for you for a long time without any worries. But I didn't expect that people from Zhongjing Tiandao Academy would come to Qingzhou. If there was a conflict, Senior Sister would be able to resist for a while. …”
The exquisite palm fingers were tilted slightly, and the white petals in the palm of the hand fell down.
In the realm of the Holy Ancestor, she is very confident in her own strength. One-on-one, she does not think that she will be weaker than others.
But what they are facing is the eternal level Tiandao Academy. This is a powerful force that cannot be competed by an individual.
The current Saint Ancestors are easy to deal with, but what if there are stronger people?
"If you can do this without being barbaric, then try not to do it. The dynasty needs time to grow now, and my junior brother needs time to grow even more. It's best if a behemoth like Tiandao Academy can't offend..."
Linglong thought this way in her heart. Tiandao Academy is different from other forces. They have always claimed to be the right path of Xuanmen. Although they sometimes do dishonorable things for their own benefit, compared to other forces, they are still There will be a better bottom line.
Intersecting with such forces may not be the only way to confront them head-on.
"It will depend on the situation at that time. I have to tell my junior brother that Aunt Jing must not be allowed to come out before the people from Tiandao Academy leave Qingzhou, otherwise I am afraid there will be no room for maneuver."
Linglong made a decision in her heart and immediately stood up and walked into the house, arriving at Jun Wuxie's bedroom.
The bedroom was empty. Linglong didn't know what had become of the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, so she had to cover the entire room with her spiritual thoughts, and then tried to communicate with Jun Wuxie.
