".Maybe it has something to do with me?"
Su Yan, who was stopped by Grand Master Sumire, walked to the office with a puzzled look on his face. He was thinking about how he had not caused any trouble recently. He paid the fine for the last fight and Princess Wuxi went home. At the same time, I also settled it for myself.
Besides, if you cause trouble yourself, you won’t be able to get into the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and the Demon Suppression Department, right? At most, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites has some opinions.
"It's not directly related, but I think that given your luck, it should be possible to bump into you." Master Sumire said slowly: "You may need to pay more attention."
Grand Master Sumire motioned Su Yan to sit aside, looked at the Minister of War, continued the previous topic, and said:
"We already know what happened. You will work with the Ministry of Industry to submit a memorial. I will quickly approve and stamp it for you to process."
The Minister of War and the Commander of the Demon Suppression Department came here when Taishi Sumire first came on duty because each department encountered something that they could not handle alone and needed to get a nod from Taishi before they could formally issue an approval document.
In the early winter of the Xia Yu Dynasty, the Xia Yu Dynasty encountered successive high temperatures. At the local government level, it was no longer possible to continue to provide relief from the effects of the summer drought. County magistrates and officials from various places saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ran to the local army garrison to ask them to go up. Approval of disaster relief work at all levels.
The Xia Yu Dynasty was a country with a large agricultural and animal husbandry industry. It had a large land and abundant resources and was not short of resources. However, due to the high temperature weather for a month, there has been a shortage of water for agriculture and animal husbandry in areas where the population is resident. On weekdays, local government offices can also organize manpower transfers. Water source comes.
And a month has passed, and the water monk's rain spell cannot affect the weather. Obviously, it is no longer something that the county magistrates can handle alone. They can only look to Xia Yu's garrison in various places and ask them to send fairy boats and personnel. Transfer a large amount of water resources, otherwise spiritual plants and agricultural products will be short of water, which will cause greater problems.
Such a large-scale troop deployment requires the personal nod of Emperor Wusheng or Grand Master Jin. Otherwise, even the Taibao cannot mobilize troops on such a nationwide scale.
Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of War came to the Grand Master early in the morning to explain the problems that the Ministry of War was facing and made reasonable arrangements.
The Ministry of War mobilized troops to transport water, and asked the Ministry of Industry to temporarily build some magical structures to store water resources and block part of the scorching sun, so as to ensure that the living environment of the high-value spiritual plants could be improved.
Before coming here, the Minister of War had already communicated with the Ministry of Industry to ensure the feasibility of the plan, and then came to report to Master Sumire. He did not just leave all the problems to Master Sumire to think about and solve.
". After receiving the order, I will contact the Ministry of Industry to formulate marching regulations and memorials."
Seeing that Master Sumire didn't add anything, the Minister of War did not show politeness or flattery. He stood up from his seat, said goodbye and ran out to deal with the matter.
Xia Yu's third-grade officials, without a breakthrough in cultivation or some special qualities, would have been unable to move forward. What they were thinking about had changed from promotion to how to hold on to their positions and obtain resources to improve themselves.
Any words, deeds or actions that are out of line may be stabbed by your subordinates.
One minister fell, and dozens of others in the same department were promoted.
Now that the commander of the Demon Suppressing Division is beside him, the Minister of War feels uneasy. Considering Xia Yu's promotion method and the donation system, it is impossible for anyone in the imperial court to have a clean fortune. In this way, it is equivalent to the Demon Suppression Division having always held everyone's thumb.
The donation system is completely a trap, a big pit that holds the ministers in place. Once the ministers go out of line or touch the bottom line, they can be directly eliminated. By the way, it can also demonstrate the responsibility and majesty of the Wusheng Emperor and eliminate harm for the people.
Sister Xi'er described Xia Yu as a court official, which was actually an extremely appropriate adjective. From top to bottom, the imperial court were all capable and capable villains.
However, they were all tied to the boat by Emperor Wusheng. Emperor Wusheng could deal with anyone at will, and there was no need to worry about things like public opinion.
With the word "greed" attached to it, I can kill whoever I want without worrying about killing the wrong good minister.
The Demon Suppressing Division killed all the ministers, which was a just act that was well-known and applauded by the people.
The power of the Xia Yu Dynasty corresponds to obligations. If you are incapable, you should know how to retire, instead of forcing the Demon Suppressor to come forward and remove the last remaining dignity from you.
………………
"How is the investigation of the disappearance case going?"
After watching the Minister of War leave, Master Sumire looked at the commander of the Demon Suppression Division who was sitting in the office and asked about the disappearance case.
"The source has been found, but there are some things that still need to be judged by the Grand Master and His Majesty."
Aunt Chao Tianjian glanced at Su Yan, then took out the photo crystal and put it on the table and said:
"In the past half a month, a total of more than 1,600 people have disappeared in various parts of the Xia Yu Dynasty, and all the disappeared people are herb collectors in remote villages and mountains and forests. We followed the clues and traces on the scene to trace them."
Chao Qi was in remote villages and mountains, raising his voice slightly as if there was something in his words.
"After investigation by the spies, our Demon Suppressor recorded this scene." Chao Qi turned on the photo crystal to project a scene of a remote mountain village.
There is no light in the mountain village at night. They live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. At this moment, the night sky over the mountain village in the picture gradually became weird. The night sky that was originally full of stars became pitch black. The mountain village gradually disappeared into the darkness, and a large amount of soil also completely disappeared.
A crack in space swallowed up the mountain village without leaving any trace.
This is the first picture, and the image crystal plays another picture again.
The scene is still deep in the mountains, and the spies of the Demon Suppression Division are following a group of people who go up the mountain to collect herbs.
But just as the image crystal was recording, the Demon Suppressor detective seemed to have encountered something. He paused and gradually began to float into the air. A liquid-like black mist emerged from behind the spy and spread to his whole body, including his fingertips. Hidden in the darkness, finally, the spies of the Suppressing Demon Division let out a shrill scream.
The image crystal fell to the ground, and blood-red liquid spilled from high altitude onto the surface of the image crystal, covering the image with a layer of blood.
"Gudu."
Su Yan looked at the playing scene, swallowed secretly, and asked:
"Grandpa, these things should have nothing to do with me, right?"
The picture recorded by the photo crystal was extremely strange, which reminded Su Yan of what Taishi Jin had said earlier, that what happened later might have something to do with him.
Su Yan didn't think that the things on the picture had anything to do with him.
"Now when I'm on duty, call me Taishi." Taishi Jin looked at Su Yan to correct his title problem, and then said: "When I say it's related to you, I don't mean that you were involved in the disappearance case, but I think it's related to you. , depending on your luck, you may be involved in it."
"It's not that I'm going to use you to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, a little fox with no body, but I won't be able to catch a big fish."
Grand Master Jin looked at Chao Qi and said, "I can understand that what you are saying is that there is no black hand behind Xia Yu's disappearance, but it is caused by our Xia Yu's special earth connection?"
The space gap that swallows up the mountain village does not appear to be an ability exerted by heavenly beings, nor does it express the natural characteristics of heavenly beings themselves.
Based on the location of the missing persons and the randomness of the gaps in the space, it does not seem like the Nightmare Town Sect or the Demonic Cultivators are capturing the blood stains of living beings. In this way, the Demon Town Division can only deduce a conclusion based on the existing information.
The only thing that more than 20 disappearance cases and more than a thousand people have in common is that their areas are not covered by Xia Yu's deep earth veins.
"Yes."
Chao Qi said calmly: "The final investigation and inference result is just as the Grand Master said. As for the underlying factors, we don't need to investigate. After that, it is beyond the scope of our Demon Suppression Department's functions."
"But here, I would like to add that the space gap can swallow living beings today, and the space gap may spit out some creatures that have never been seen before tomorrow."
