One night, he visited seventeen official residences in the royal city.
Working in and out until early morning, he killed seventeen officials and several family members.
These family members were usually young and beautiful concubines. Zhou Xiaozhou didn't mean to kill them. Sometimes he wanted to knock someone unconscious, but his hand was too heavy and he knocked them to death directly, or they fainted and didn't wake up.
Moreover, after this assassination, it was obvious that his methods were insufficient and he had no magic weapon suitable for assassination.
There was a three-inch flying sword before. Wasn't it forcibly abducted by the Lin family of Qixingkou on that day? There was nothing suitable for assassination in his hand.
Don't think that civil servants are incapable of tying chickens. Some civil servants are also cultivators, and they even hide it secretly, and their cultivation has reached the level of golden elixir or above.
So I can only plot with water arrows and then hit the target with last hits.
However, although the water arrow technique kills people invisible, there are still traces to follow. The arrow is also a hole when it enters the body, and a pool of water will be left on the scene...
After a busy night, although he was doing pretty well with his current strength, he especially wanted to create a flying sword suitable for assassination.
The previous one was just a gadget with three or four formations, and there was nothing to miss. How to build a better one entered his plan.
I went home early in the morning and drove the carriage out of the city to work. I was still thinking about the plan on the way.
Flying swords cannot just create the same formation. They must at least have an object-controlling formation to control flight, as well as a wind-breaking formation, a blood-breaking formation, an armor-breaking formation, etc. In order to increase the chance of a successful assassination, there must even be The invisible formation and other more obscure formations.
There are many formations to choose from, and the weapon refiner has to design what kind of combination he wants.
And you have to thoroughly understand all the formations you want to engrave and practice them well before you can succeed.
It is not easy to create a decent magic weapon. It requires a lot of time and energy, and it is also difficult to succeed.
Usually, it's enough to work on three or four formations, it's already considered a magic weapon.
Three formations are considered a low-grade magic weapon, four formations are a mid-grade magic weapon, five formations are also a mid-grade magic weapon, and a mid-grade magic weapon with five formations is more expensive than a mid-grade magic weapon with four formations. The magic weapon is not much higher, but the difficulty is many times higher.
Therefore, it is no longer interesting to continue struggling. The difficulty does not increase a little bit, but continues to double, or even increase dozens or hundreds of times...
Income is actually less.
With this time, I can already build many inferior magic weapons.
"Master Zhou is back!"
"I heard yesterday that Mr. Zhou was coming back. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep the next night..."
"I miss Mr. Zhou so much..."
"Go away, you are not a woman..."
South Camp was filled with joy as Zhou Xiaozhou's carriage entered.
When he came back this time, he was not only in charge of the blacksmith, but now everyone in the entire Nanda Camp was under his control.
As an official, it doesn't matter whether it's big or small, it's not small either.
Normally, it should be regarded as a fifth-grade unit, hanging under the Craftsmanship Department of the Ministry of Industry, and regarded as a branch.
However, the Craftsmanship Department of the Ministry of Industry is only a fourth-rank yamen, and Zhou Xiaozhou is a fourth-rank official, which is considered a downgrade.
Because the Blacksmith Camp has a good relationship with Zhou Xiaozhou, now that Master Lu is no longer involved, they are much more enthusiastic towards him.
Let him do whatever he wants. Since he is now in charge of the entire Nanda camp, he should take a good look and sort out his ideas.
Although Wu Shengguo has now been stabilized, military supplies are still in short supply. It is necessary to make up for the losses in previous wars, and even to replace them, etc. The workload is still very heavy.
The main task of Nanda Camp now is actually to make armor.
Whether it is leather armor or metal armor, it is all the responsibility of Nan Daying.
This is not an easy job either. Whether it is leather armor or metal armor, corresponding formations need to be engraved into them to increase the defense. However, due to the shortage of formation masters, most of them are just ordinary armors.
Even ordinary armor is not that easy to make, and it is quite chaotic. The previous people in charge failed to straighten things out, and there were even corruption problems, and several of them have been replaced one after another.
The head of the Ministry of Industry didn't have any good intentions. He just left the difficult task to a young boy and waited to see the joke.
Will Long Yi punish him when he comes back?
Nowadays, there is a large amount of goods coming in and out of Nandaying, a lot of money is handled, and there are many people and many hands, so naturally there will be problems such as falsifying accounts, taking kickbacks, etc.
Qiao Yan said that Zhou Xiaozhou had the talent to be number one, so she would fall in love with him and not make other choices.
It is indeed not nonsense, it is just because he did not stay in school and study hard, and he did not read the book deeply. Wandering around in the arena again, I became tainted with a bit of ruffianism and charlatanism, and became a bit nondescript.
But this kind of nondescriptness can be combined with theory to a certain extent. It is easy to see some little tricks, and several stewards who were cheating and enriching their own pockets were caught on the spot.
Instead of sending them to the relevant yamen in the city, they tied them up in the camp, hung the charges around their necks, and put them on display.
Then promote their deputy on the spot to take over.
I still want to deceive him, so I have to figure it out myself.
Such a process actually has to go through the Ministry of Personnel, which involves various complicated procedures. The Ministry of Personnel even sends someone else to come over, and he has no right to appoint or remove officials at will.
He didn't pay any attention.
This is his territory, and he has the final say.
Isn’t it just a waste of time to go on and on about a few things?
After appointment and dismissal, submit for approval.
If others tyrannize you, you must oppose it. If you tyrannize others, it is natural.
At dusk, a fast horse ran out of the city, but it was Yan Hanxue in a police officer's uniform, looking for him all the way into Nanda Camp.
"Master Zhou hides very quickly. Harmful people are easy to find."
Did you hide?
Zhou Xiaozhou casually asked her to sit down and said casually: "I am here to take up my post. I am upright and upright. What are you hiding?"
Yan Hanxue stared at him and looked at him: "Seventeen officials were killed in the city last night. It is said that these people have grudges with Mr. Zhou and had conflicts with you in the court. Judging from Mr. Zhou's cautious eyes, revenge is inevitable. Door-to-door killings are also possible.
Moreover, based on the clues at the crime scene, it is confirmed that the crime was committed by the same person.
The murderer seemed to have used water-based magic, water archery. There are very few people who are successful at practicing this magic, and Mr. Zhou seems to have mastered it, so...
Mr. Zhou's suspicion is quite high and he may be related to this case. "
Are you being petty?
Isn’t he a very generous person?
Zhou Xiaozhou's head was covered with black lines and he tilted his head to look at her: "Why does Yan Captou know me so well?
Could it be that you have been staring at me? "
Yan Hanxue said: "It is natural to keep an eye on treacherous people. They are very likely to do bad things. Once something happens, it is easy to screen out the suspects. This is an essential requirement in our line of work."
What he said is indeed true. Once a vicious case occurs in the jurisdiction, the veteran detective will be able to find the criminal quickly, because there are only so many people who may have committed the crime. Unless it is an accidental or circulating case, the difficulty is as high as catching someone blind.
Although Yan Hanxue is not yet an old policeman in the royal city, she has been keeping an eye on Zhou Xiaozhou. She knows him to a certain extent and can easily cast suspicion on him.
