As the heavy door closed tightly, the noise from outside was completely cut off. Jiang Tian took advantage of the situation and held a brief meeting with the gathered subordinates. Listen to a series of events and project progress that occurred during this period, and also reassign and dispatch them.
"Because the incident happened suddenly, these days have been well spent." Only Deputy Supervisor Yu Cong was left alone. Jiang Tian then spoke with relief: "I heard that some people are also very interested in the Xijing branch? Now that I'm back, I can do the math."
"It's pointless to work hard. The main thing is that I'm a little troubled." Yu Cong also smiled bitterly and said: "I just don't want the prosperous situation of the Xijing branch to be disturbed by some individuals' selfish selfishness and excessive demands for power and profit. And it’s just destroyed.”
"Can you please tell me about the courtesy? In these days, there are several kind-hearted people who have taken the time to provide help to the headquarters in times of need. I can repay them one by one in the future!" Jiang Tian followed the trend and asked: "Mr. You can’t ask people to give money to others, it’s a waste of effort.”
"To be fair to the prisoner, I mean, now that you have returned home safely, these have actually become irrelevant side issues." However, after hearing this, Yu Cong became more helpless and said: "After all, now The funding and additional manpower we received are real benefits.”
"On this point, you have nothing to worry about." Jiang Tian shook his head slightly and said: "Why I try to maintain the relative autonomy of my headquarters is not to prevent these men from being involved in the struggle for power between the government and the opposition. I am more able to contribute to the country without any distractions.”
"What Jian Zheng said is... it's because someone has not thought carefully." After hearing this, Yu Cong couldn't help but his eyes flickered slightly, and then he said seriously: "Actually, these days, the main pressure comes from Luodu's headquarters and the imperial government. Shitaiyuan; proposes that the imperial censor be stationed to review internal and external activities."
"It's just the Luodu headquarters. Why does Yushitaiyuan participate in it? Do you think you can get a share of the pie?" Jiang Tian was slightly startled. This was unexpected, but he figured out the joints not surprisingly: "Or Are you just a pioneer and want to open a gap in the branch?"
"In any case, after hearing the news about the return of Jianzheng, no matter what the other party's intentions are, it is all in vain." Yu Cong smiled relievedly after hearing this: "Just yesterday, the Liu Shi Yushi announced that the investigation has been completed At the end, we quietly withdrew from the branch with our personnel.”
"But this is not enough!" Jiang Tian shook his head slightly and said: "Of course, Li Rong, you are from a legitimate background in the imperial court, so naturally you have concerns about the decency and rules established by the imperial court; but I don't need to care so much. I will write a letter later to request a counter-investigation against the relevant people.”
"On the grounds that they may be suspected of espionage and leaking the confidential internal secrets of the Xijing branch, conduct loyalty and confidentiality reviews on related parties; if the yamen and forces behind them cannot pay enough price and compensation; then don't Blame me for using extraordinary interrogation techniques.”
"Jian Zheng, this... I'm afraid it's going to be very involved!" Yu Cong couldn't help showing worry when he heard this: "After all, official business is the most important thing..."
"It doesn't matter, you just need to be responsible for letting the word out and let those people taste and consider the pros and cons on their own." Jiang Tian said confidently: "This is the most basic attitude; otherwise there will not be enough price and punishment. , wouldn’t it be endless in the future?”
"As the saying goes, the strategy of asking for a high price and then paying back the money is as long as you are willing to give in and give in, you don't necessarily have to do a thorough investigation. Of course, the stupid people who are really stubborn can just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. I don't believe it. This person is deliberately doing this. If you intervene, can you really make no mistakes?"
"What Jian Zheng said is true." Yu Cong nodded and said, "It's just that there has been no news from Jian Zheng for more than a month, and there are still some obstacles in the court. Even the Ouchi sent people I came here to ask, and I don’t know if the supervisor has any explanation or reason for this?"
"Ceremony, are you asking on behalf of the court or yourself?" Jiang Tian laughed when he heard this, thinking that this is the key: "If you are asking on behalf of the court, I can only say that you entered by mistake. A remnant of the cave heaven and paradise left over from ancient times, it took a lot of effort to find the exit."
"What if it's just a question from a certain family?" Yu Cong immediately understood what he meant, which obviously involved inside information and secrets that were not suitable for public disclosure. He immediately answered without hesitation: "Can I ask the prisoner to I am revealing more details..."
"Actually, it's very simple. After receiving help from Wuwei on the way, I followed the whereabouts of the evil spirits, went deep into the mountains, and finally found the source." Jiang Tian nodded and said, "That was a large-scale blood sacrifice that someone secretly carried out. The scene of an attempt to gain the power of evil."
"It seems that something went wrong in the blood sacrifice process, and those monsters and beasts and ghosts were backlashed on the spot. Therefore, not only evil spirits escaped one after another, but the leakage of miasma also caused the birds and beasts in the mountains to mutate; only then did the evil beasts and ghosts in the mountains begin to wreak havoc. A scourge of beasts. I am trying to seal the source."
"As a result, I was desperately blocked by a dormant giant monster. Although I killed it in the fight, it also caused a large-scale collapse of the mountain. I just happened to stumble into the ruins of such a cave heaven and paradise, and I saw more dormant people. And the dormant monsters, and the god they worship."
"The cave heaven that has survived from ancient times, and the monsters and gods hidden within it?" When Yu Cong heard this, he felt that his three views were once again impacted, and his voice became a little hesitant and difficult: "Is the ancient legend true? In this world Does such a thing really exist..."
"Such an existence may not have existed in the past, but it exists now." Jiang Tian said meaningfully: "The so-called cave heaven and blessed land may be nothing more than a secret realm where the ancients secluded themselves; with the changes in the celestial phenomena, some people in the Only the ruined remnants of ancient times were able to return to this world."
"At least, the secret realm I entered earlier was quite vast, and there were huge skeletons and ruins of huge cities everywhere. It took me a lot of exploration to find the key. The remaining living beings had gone through countless years, It has transformed into a grotesque monster."
"There are even some giants who are suspected to be the remnants of the ancient Sanmiao tribe, but they have lost their minds and are only left with bloodthirsty beasts. Driven by the idea of the god who is lingering underground, he has been raising monsters and trying to break through the world to plunder blood food; so during the negotiations After getting no results, I could only lure it out and kill it.”
"But this also led to the collapse and collapse of the secret realm. It was not until it was completely integrated into reality that I was able to escape; but it has been a long time. There are still many ruins and wreckage buried in the collapse. What about the underground just waiting to be excavated by future generations?”
"There is such a tortuous inside story." After hearing this, Yu Cong let out a big sigh of relief and said: "Of course I believe in Jian Zheng's methods, but the relationship is really important, and the situation is too tortuous and bizarre, and I don't know Jian Zheng." But are there any other means of supporting evidence to win the court’s trust?”
"Of course..." Jiang Tian smiled more and more contentedly when he heard this. After all, he had made up and fabricated a lot of true and false stories in advance; wasn't it just to wait for such a sentence! "It's just that it's not convenient for indoor display and requires a wider space."
Subsequently, part of the old ghost market/city square area at the bottom of the underground space outside was temporarily cleared, and all sides were guarded and cordoned off by directly-affiliated team members who had been physically strengthened, covered in body armor and armed to the teeth. Then Jiang Tian waved his hand towards the void...
In an instant, a whirlwind rose from the ground, whistling and flying up a large amount of dust; it also blew everyone's eyes open, and then quickly dissipated. On the originally empty ground, a huge gray stone ball with pits appeared; then the stone ball began to move faintly.
】
Then, under the gaze of nervous and suspicious eyes, the cobweb-covered exterior quickly cracked. As the stone fragments continued to peel off, the being that was originally wrapped in the stone ball slowly stretched out its body and stood upright little by little amidst the friction of teeth.
What finally appeared in front of everyone was a huge humanoid stone monster with gray lines all over its body, seven or eight meters tall, with limbs as thick as a water tank, and abnormally flat facial features; it was far higher than all the buildings. It slowly stretched out its body and wanted to show off its filial piety...
The next moment, it was suddenly violently whipped by an invisible force, and the fragments from its head suddenly shattered and tilted to the side; then its huge round eyes blinked and noticed Jiang Tian flying in the air to look at him. In an instant, his huge body fell down without any hesitation.
But he clumsily put on a prostrate and submissive posture. This was the stone monster that Jiang Tian unexpectedly surrendered when he was quelling the rebellion in Lyon City; and after continuous attempts to feed it with various strengthening minerals, it became its current form.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian stepped on its huge head that dared not move, and said to his subordinates gathered nearby: "Look, this is one of my gains in the secret realm; a descendant of an ancient earth spirit. , is extremely powerful, and can loosen earth and rocks, and dig into mountains and rocks; but it is relatively docile in nature and makes a living by swallowing earth and rocks. And no matter how seriously injured it is, it can be recovered by swallowing a large amount of minerals."
"Next, this guy will be left to your careful study and application." Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tian said to the chief medical officer Bai Bohuan, whose eyes were dazzling: "I still have a bunch of suspected ancient books here. I hope you can Through this, more uses and benefits can be discovered.”
Later, Jiang Tian privately handed over a pile of various mechanical design drawings and related data records from another world to Geng Shu, the director of the Industrial and Camping Department; and asked him to try to use the existing technical means of this time and space to recreate the Steam engine prototype, and a series of related mechanical equipment.
After all, Jiang Tian has not forgotten that he still has a branch scene mission in this time and space: "The Dawn of Iron and Fire/A Thousand Miles Begin with a Single Step, Completion Degree (7.4%)..."
