Xu Yuan glanced at the roll-shaped paper secret report in front of him and was slightly surprised.
I'm surprised at the efficiency of work here.
It was not Zhou Chen who accidentally handed over this secret to him, but the steward.
He ordered Zhou Chen to do this, and with Zhou Chen's current idle working state, he would probably not miss this opportunity to be diligent. But the fact is that this secret report was not sent by Zhou Chen.
Then there is only one reason left.
The procedures were inconsistent, and Zhou Chen had no right to interfere with the Black Scale Guards, let alone the intelligence agency of the Prime Minister's Office.
In this way, this matter is somewhat interesting.
There are many intelligence systems in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Black Scale Guard who was born in Ying'er is just one of them.
Tian'an Chamber of Commerce's subordinates, such as Goulan, restaurants, and various pawn shops, also have the function of collecting intelligence.
Orders were issued from above, intelligence was collected from below, and the useless ones were filtered through layers of filtering while the useful ones were retained. Finally, the summarized information was transmitted back in cipher text, and the person receiving these contacts turned out to be a mansion steward.
More power than he imagined.
But soon Xu Yuan was relieved.
The influence of the comics and anime I read in my previous life is still somewhat deep-rooted.
It made him subconsciously feel that in an extraordinary world, the power in his hands must be equal to his own strength.
But in reality, spiritual cultivation talent and management ability are not linked. If a group of laymen with brains full of muscles are really allowed to manage the industry, no matter how big the family fortune is, it may be ruined.
This kind of power structure is quite stable for the upper class. The managers of the various industries of the family are like the eunuchs in the palace in previous lives. Without cultivation, they can only blindly rely on the master's family, and there is almost no possibility of becoming bigger and independent.
Reaching out to take the secret report, Xu Yuan was about to open it and take a look, but found that there was a thin layer of source energy fluctuations on it, as well as some simple formation patterns.
After carefully sensing the pattern on the surface of the paper roll, Xu Yuan's eyes became a little strange.
This is....
password?
Seeing Xu Yuan take it, the little old manager immediately smiled flatteringly and said without any pause:
"Third Young Master, if this secret report is opened directly or violently, it will automatically shatter. Special means are required to open it."
Xu Yuan glanced at him: "Can you figure it out?"
It's interesting that the formation can still be used in this way.
Manager Li rubbed his hands:
"You are just joking. How can this little old man know how to decipher the secret patterns of the Black Scale Guard? Moreover, these little secret reports are just a passing trick."
Saying,
He glanced sideways at Ying'er who was following behind.
It seems that secret reports are only classified and kept by these mortal stewards, with access rights.
Presumably, it should be to prevent these mortal stewards from leaking information after being fascinated.
Xu Yuan directly threw the secret to Ying'er behind;
"Untie."
Ying'er silently took it, not paying attention to Xu Yuan's soul observation, and directly untied the formation patterns on it, and handed it back to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan took back the secret report, with Yuan Qi in his eyes and blood shining in his eyes. While browsing, he casually asked the little old man:
"Are you here to get the elixirs from the mansion?"
He ran out of elixirs and had no little green bottle, so he could only manage the property of Father Xiangguo.
"The money and elixirs in the mansion are indeed in charge of the little old man." Manager Li rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a low voice: "Young master, everything in the warehouse belongs to the house, and the little old man doesn't care either. Dare to act rashly..."
"take it easy."
Xu Yuan glanced at him and knew that the other party thought that the third young master was going to fight against him again, so he said softly:
"My father's order will come out soon. Go and see if there are any pills I need in the inventory in the warehouse."
Hearing this, Manager Li smiled nonchalantly:
"Okay, sir, tell me what you need."
Xu Yuan casually reported several pills he needed now.
Manager Li's face turned dark.
Of these things, the fourth-grade Integrated Body Realm priest in the mansion couldn't get more than a few pills in a year, but this third young master just counted them by the bottle.
He made up his mind that it would be best if the Prime Minister ordered him to come down. If there was no order, then he would have to avoid these three young masters in the recent period.
Thinking this way, Manager Li's tone was still humble:
"I'll go get it from you, little old man. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
While they were talking, the three of them had already come out of the basement, and the sky outside was a vast expanse of blue.
Xu Yuan squinted his eyes, glanced at the nurse on duty outside the secret room, and asked softly with a slight hesitation:
"I once arranged for someone to find a man named Qin Mo. Do you know about this?"
"..."
When he heard this, Manager Li's eyes jumped.
Because of this, Xue Yong, the genius at the peak of his iron body, was killed. How could he, the person in charge, not know this?
After a second of silence, Manager Li said cautiously:
"Know."
"Is there any progress?"
"..have."
Answered in the affirmative, but in a weak tone.
Understanding in his heart, Xu Yuan sighed slightly:
"Have you taken action?"
He remembered that the original order was only to monitor and follow up.
Manager Li explained gently:
"The man was quite vigilant and wanted to escape when he realized he was being followed. Our people had no choice but to take action."
"The result of your actions was to let him escape?"
"...Yes." Manager Li observed Xu Yuan's expression.
But Xu Yuan had no expression on his face, and his tone remained calm:
"Tell me carefully about the process."
Manager Li carefully considered his words and said softly:
"After you gave the order, the little old man learned about it and immediately started to make arrangements. During the days when you were in seclusion, we found this person in the east of the city, but this person was quite difficult. Several pulse temperers who found him at that time The guardian was no match for him, and by the time the other guardians of the mansion arrived, this person had already disappeared."
"There's no news about him since then?" Xu Yuan's voice was gentle and gentle.
"Once..." Manager Li said bravely.
"Tell me about it."
"We tracked this person in Changhong Valley, which is more than 20 miles outside the West City, but...he is very strong, but with eighth-level pulse quenching cultivation, two seventh-level bone quenching experts are not among them. opponent."
"Total annihilation?"
"Escape one."
"..." Xu Yuan.
After a second of silence, Xu Yuan looked at Manager Li and asked softly in confusion:
"Why not send more sixth-grade guards? I remember that among my guards there are quite a few who are at the peak of sixth-grade ones, and there should be fifth-grade soul-condensing realms in the mansion."
Upon hearing this question, Manager Li's cheeks twitched and he explained in a low voice:
"Third Young Master, although the monthly salary of the entire Jingjiang Mansion is paid by the young man, the young man does not have the right to directly call the nursing home above the bone training level. According to the rules, your guard cannot stay too far away from you.
"And...and who knew that this animal could kill people beyond the ranks?"
Having said this, Manager Li paused and coughed lightly:
"But don't worry, Sir, there is only one exit from the Changhong Valley. I have reported the matter to the headquarters. After receiving the permission, I have dispatched three strong men in the Iron Body Realm to wait for him outside the entrance of the valley."
