"Okay, you go and do your work."
Ning Yue wanted to get angry, but he was extremely calm in his heart. After thinking about it, he dismissed everyone.
These people who stayed behind were all "old, weak and remnant soldiers". Basically, none of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm could fight, and they couldn't do much to help him.
What's even more abominable is that they are also human beings. They talk to people and ghosts, but they can't ask anything.
"Brother Yue, this is so outrageous. Now you have become the polished commander."
Xiao Ruobing wanted to get angry, but when she saw this situation, she couldn't help but smile.
Snapped!
Ning Yue slapped her on the hip: "Can you still laugh?"
Xiao Ruobing blushed and said with a smile: "Actually, this is also a good thing. Then we can safely and boldly place our own people."
"But these people alone are not enough. Now I am completely deaf and blind."
Ning Yue sighed.
In fact, he didn't care about the strength of those pickets and just left.
But these pickets have been in Cangnan City for many years, and they have developed many informants.
Now that all these intelligence networks are broken, wouldn't he become deaf and blind?
"I heard that there is a place in Cangnan City where you can get information, but it costs spirit stones to buy. The higher the value of the information, the higher the price."
Xiao Ruobing suddenly remembered and said hurriedly.
"If it's a spiritual stone, that would be easy."
Ning Yue chuckled.
Previously, in Linxian City, he also saved more than 100,000 top-quality spiritual stones in addition to those used for cultivation.
Later, he also gained a lot in Hedong City. He obtained more than 20,000 top-quality spiritual stones from Zhuang Yutang's storage ring alone.
There were also 50,000 top-quality spiritual stones obtained from corrupt officials in Hedong City.
He also has various elixirs on him, including five hundred Jin Yuan Dan alone, and many other elixirs as well.
Most of it was refined by him, and some was obtained from Zhuang Yutang and corrupt officials in Hedong City.
However, to compensate for the loss of the building and ship, it costs 30,000 pieces of top-quality spiritual stones.
For Ning Yue, this is nothing.
However, he still needs to prepare a lot of spiritual stones to attack the Nascent Soul Realm.
He feels that he will be able to break through the Nascent Soul within a year.
Ning Yue and Xiao Ruobing went to Wanbao Tower, compensated for the loss of the building boat, and then returned to the inn.
He also used the fingers of yin and yang to heal everyone's injuries.
Then, he told everyone about the things in the picket department.
When Fang Jianyuan heard this, he became furious and shouted: "I didn't expect this Jiang Zuolong to be so sinister. He would do such a thing when my young master is not around. This is clearly making things difficult for you!"
Ning Yue asked: "Fellow Daoist Fang, when Master Fang is here, do you have some trustworthy people or followers?"
"My young master has been in business for thirty years, and naturally there are many trustworthy people. But when the young master went to the secret realm, those people followed him. If I hadn't been weak, I would have followed him.
However, I remembered someone. This person had a criminal record in the past, and the young master helped him settle it. The young master had saved his life, so this person might be trustworthy. "
Fang Jianyuan said in a deep voice.
"Who is he?" Ning Yue asked.
"He is a Qianhu under Jiang Zuolong. I will try to contact him to see if he can help you?" Fang Jianyuan said.
"That's good."
Ning Yue nodded.
In the next month, Cangnan County was quiet, and Ning Yue concentrated on doing his own things.
He is now the deputy governor, so he naturally has his own official residence, but he needs to set up a spirit gathering array and some defensive formations.
In addition to moving the official residence, official positions must also be appointed.
Xu Beihai, Xu Zhen, and Lu Yongan all obtained the post of Thousand Households.
A deputy governor can set up four thousand households, and now, he still has one thousand households vacant.
In addition, it is to select monks to join the picket department.
After Ning Yue issued three requests for talents, he reluctantly recruited 200 people.
The main reason is that the monks in Cangnan City are not optimistic about Ning Yue. Most of the applicants are monks from other places, and their cultivation levels are uneven. Most of them are golden elixir or foundation building. There is not a single Nascent Soul monk who signed up.
It is unclear whether there are other forces secretly blocking it.
Of course, these monks must also undergo selection and assessment.
Within this month, Ning Yue also received reports from local inspection bureaus or some monks, exposing official corruption, but Ning Yue was unable to send out personnel.
In this current situation, Ning Yue could only suppress it.
On this day, Fang Jianyuan led a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a tall and straight figure over.
Fang Jianyuan smiled and said: "Master Ning, this is the Master Zhao Feihu and Zhao I told you."
Zhao Feihu bowed his hands towards Ning Yue and said, "Greetings to Mr. Ning."
"You're welcome. I heard Fellow Daoist Fang talking about you before. Mr. Fang trusts you very much. Now Mr. Fang's life and death are uncertain. Are you willing to help me find out the truth?"
Ning Yue asked directly.
"Sir Ning, I am really quick to speak. I won't hide it from you. This matter is definitely related to the major forces and the four major sects in the city. However, I am in a humble position and I don't want to wade into this muddy water.
And I heard that your Excellency suppressed some cases, so I am willing to come and help you visit other places to investigate these cases, and for other things, I..."
Zhao Feihu's square face showed an awkward smile.
Ning Yue understood that Zhao Feihu was afraid of the forces behind this and did not want to get involved.
However, it is also a good thing to help him share the pressure.
Ning Yue said: "Then you come over here and take up the post of Qianhu. If you need anything, let me take care of it. I will tell Master Jiang."
"Thank you very much, sir. I will bring more than twenty brothers here soon to assist you in investigating these cases in other places."
After Zhao Feihu finished speaking, he left.
Fang Jianyuan watched Zhao Feihu leave, shook his head and said, "It's such a pity."
"Fang Qianhu, from now on, the task of getting to know the forces in the city and the four major sects will be left to you."
Ning Yue smiled.
Fang Jianyuan's job is Qianhu, Fang Hao's attendant, but he is the communication channel between the Fang family and himself, so Ning Yue prefers to call Fang Daoyou.
"Sir, in fact, my master has also recruited a group of experts. If we add the cooperation of our Yamen, we will definitely be able to find some clues."
Fang Jianyuan nodded.
"Okay, you go ahead. I'll go to the Chunfeng Pavilion later."
Ning Yue smiled.
Chunfeng Pavilion?
That restaurant where I asked for information?
It seems that Master Ning is starting to investigate the young master's case.
Fang Jianyuan felt happy and said, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Ning."
Spring Breeze Pavilion.
It is a very inconspicuous small restaurant in Cangnan City, located next to Mingyue Lake, but many monks come here to inquire about news.
I heard that the master behind the Chunfeng Pavilion is very mysterious, and even the county guard dare not touch him easily.
Ning Yue and Xiao Ruobing came to Chunfeng Pavilion.
This small restaurant is built near the lake, surrounded by green trees, the lake is misty, and there is a tall tower next to it, just like a fairyland on earth.
Ning Yue pointed to the tower and asked curiously: "Ruobing, why does the spire of that tower emit a little starlight?"
