Ghosts and Gods Division Yamen.
The four senior officials of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, including Taoist Xu Ping, deputy director, Taoist Qingyun, Zen Master Liaokong, and Huang Mei, gathered together in the side hall to hold candlelight talks at night and discuss important matters.
Taoist priest Xu Ping looked serious: "How are the investigations of the previous clues conducted by each class going?"
Taoist Qingyun shook his head: "Our Class A is responsible for three clues. In the past two days, Pindao sent capable officers to investigate one by one, and caught five criminals who colluded with the White Bone Demon, a little demon, but it is a pity that they are just little guys, right? The superiors knew nothing, and the clues were cut off.”
Zen Master Liao Kong recited the Buddha's name and said leisurely: "The three clues that the poor monk was responsible for were also broken, and he didn't even catch the little demon."
"It's useless for you to look at me. I want to have clues and be able to sit here until now. I'll start yelling as soon as I enter the door."
Being stared at by everyone, Huang Mei felt a little dumbfounded.
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded.
As expected, he was not too disappointed.
However, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull.
The four senior officials of the Ghosts and Gods Department were silent, their brows furrowed, and they were feeling quite stressed.
The case of White Bone Empress has alarmed the higher authorities.
Not only did the superior Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Department repeatedly intervene, the Qingzhou Ghosts and Gods Department also ordered many times to speed up the investigation of the case, demanding that the White Bone Empress be captured and killed as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people.
It is said that even Qingzhou State Shepherd also asked about this matter.
If things go wrong, or if there is no breakthrough, the Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Department will probably be criticized, not to mention the four of them, Taoist Priest Xu Ping, who are at the center of the storm.
The governor of Guangping County often inquires about the case and follows the progress of the case.
This made Taoist Xu Ping, Taoist Qingyun and others extremely stressed and had trouble sleeping and eating.
The case of the "White Bone Empress" has become the biggest challenge since Taoist Priest Qingyun took over as the director of the Ghost and God Department of Xin'an County.
If he does a good job and catches the "White Bone Lady" as soon as possible, then Xu Ping's position as director will be firmly secured. His meritorious service will be added to his resume, and he will also have a strong support for future promotions and transfers. .
Of course, the case is big and has wide influence.
If he doesn't do his job well, I'm afraid Taoist Xu Ping won't be able to hold on to his position of responsibility, and it is inevitable that he will leave office in disgrace.
Leader Xu Ping was unlucky, and the fate of Taoist Master Qingyun, Zen Master Liaokong, and Huang Mei was not much better.
How many people are watching eagerly as a real official.
Usually there is no chance, but if there is a reason, there will be forces secretly pounce on them like a pack of wolves, kick them away and replace them.
Therefore, the four chief and deputy officers of Xin'an County's Department of Ghosts and Gods are in charge of both prosperity and loss. They are all worried about the case of the "White Bone Lady".
"Damn it! This Bone Lady is getting more and more sophisticated. Not only does she not show up, but even her subordinates and close men are dormant. They try to lure some smelly fish and rotten shrimps to use as shit sticks, causing peace in several counties around us. "
Huang Mei cursed. He was a native of Xin'an County. The Huang clan was a large clan in the local area. It had multiplied and multiplied for many years, with tens of thousands of clan members spread throughout the surrounding counties.
The people who were harmed by this White-bone Empress were all his clan members and fellow villagers. He felt the deepest and hated her the most.
Zen Master Liao Kong recited the Buddha's name, while Taoist Master Qingyun shook his head.
The former director of Xin'an Ghosts and Gods Department was dismissed because the White Bone Empress stole the souls, resulting in too many premature deaths of the people and the spread of unjust ghosts. The reason could not be found out and he was dismissed.
Now the reason has been found, but it's a pity that the White Bone Empress can't catch it, and the matter is equally difficult.
Taoist priest Xu Ping had firm eyes and encouraged morale:
"Don't be discouraged. The evil will not suppress the good. Tomorrow I will trouble three of you and continue to send the old officials who have been handling the case for many years to investigate carefully. No matter what, we must find clues!"
"As you command!"
The three lieutenants all bowed their hands and accepted the order.
At this time, there were civil servants hurriedly reporting outside the hospital.
"I would like to inform you all, my lords, that Deputy Team Leader Liu of Class B would like to see you!"
Everyone looked at Zen Master Kong.
Zen Master Lokong shook his head: "The poor monk doesn't know, so why not call him over and ask him about it."
Not long after, Deputy Team Leader Liu from Class B hurried in.
"What happened? What a shame to be in such a panic!"
Taoist priest Huang Mei was in a bad mood and his tone was a bit harsh.
Being scolded from the head, Deputy Team Leader Liu would have felt uneasy in the past.
But at this moment, Deputy Team Leader Liu didn't care at all. Instead, he said excitedly:
"For your information, everyone, our Class B caught a big fish!"
When they heard "big fish", the four of them were surprised and happy, and they immediately became energetic.
Taoist Master Xu Ping sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, and asked hurriedly:
"What a big fish, tell me quickly!"
Taoist Master Qingyun, Zen Master Liaokong, and Huang Mei all laid their eyes on Deputy Supervisor Liu with expressions of anticipation on their faces.
Deputy Team Leader Liu was suddenly stared at by the four managers of the Ghosts and Gods Department. He felt nervous and excited at the same time, as if his life had reached a climax.
Because of his excitement, his voice was slightly hoarse:
"Everyone, please take care of it. Here's the thing. Today, our Inspector Chu Chen from Class B brought his concierge to the class room to report that the house of the concierge Ding's brother-in-law was haunted. I thought this was a trivial matter. So I asked Inspector Chu to go to the countryside to handle the case..."
"Wait, what did you say? You let Chu Chen handle the case alone? Bastard! Do you know..."
When Huang Mei heard this, he couldn't help but break out.
Chu Chen has a good relationship with his nephew Huang Fugui, and he loves his house very much. He is also very concerned about Chu Chen's affairs and understands the inside story.
However, he stopped talking midway through his words, sat back in his seat, and said no more words.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
Deputy Team Leader Liu was confused, his smile faded, he was sweating profusely, he didn’t know what he had done wrong, he was stunned and at a loss.
Zen Master Lokong and Taoist Qingyun vaguely guessed something and frowned slightly.
However, Taoist priest Xu Ping waved his hand and ordered:
"Deputy Team Leader Liu, please continue."
Deputy Squad Leader Liu touched the cold sweat on his forehead and stuttered a little: "Just...just now, the Chu Inspector came back. He was escorting a white-bone goblin and a little female ghost..."
Zen Master Liao Kong quickly asked: "How is Chu Chen? Is he not injured?"
Deputy Team Leader Liu finally understood why he was scolded by Huang Duguan, and quickly replied: "No, Inspector Chu is not injured, not at all, he is very good."
After hearing this, Xu Ping and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Once they heard that Chu Chenren was fine, the four of them stopped worrying too much and focused their attention on the Bone Demon, each of them showing expressions of surprise.
Most of the White Bone Demons in the surrounding areas of Xin'an County are under the command of the White Bone Empress, and they are likely to be close subordinates.
The "big fish" mentioned by Deputy Team Leader Liu is not an exaggeration.
I have to say, this was an unexpected surprise.
One moment, they were still worried about not being able to find clues about the "White Bone Empress Case", but in the blink of an eye, such a big surprise fell from the sky.
I really answered that sentence and gave him a pillow when I felt sleepy.
The four governors seemed quite excited, and each of them headed straight to the prison cell of Guishensi Yamen with a gust of wind in their footsteps.
