The next day.

Tanzhou Prefecture Government Office.

The seats are full of high-ranking officials.

The civil servant headed by Shan Yanwu, the governor of Tanzhou, and the military general headed by Zhou Bin, the general of Tanzhou, were clearly distinguished from each other.

Dozens of people, with serious expressions, silent and no one spoke.

There are occasional calls in the air to serve tea and blow the tea foam, which seem deliberately suppressed.

A prelude to the depression that is about to come.

Shan Yanwu looked tired, his eyes were dark and swollen. I don’t know if he didn’t sleep all night last night or because of the situation in Tanzhou that made him exhausted.

He coughed lightly, touched the tea bowl, making a crisp sound, raised his head and swam, deliberately staying on a Taoist priest for three more breaths.

The priest understood and pointed his chin in slightest, cleared his throat, took out a roll of paper from his cuffs, slowly unfolded, and said loudly:

"My dear sir, I believe everyone has a letter of complaint from Anonymous last night. What is said above is shocking and incredible. We are the emperor's herders, and we are here to report the emperor's kindness to the people. Why are there any state army wearing official skins and doing treasons? The situation in Tanzhou is so decayed. Should we give an explanation?"

The Taoist sergeant took the lead in attacking, his words were vague, and he did not tell who he was not clear about what was going on or who he knew. He first used a side-click, followed step by step, and then finally won. The civil servants have been extremely skilled in playing routines since ancient times.

The general of Tanzhou, Zhou Bin, sat down with a golden sword, and his posture was neither humble nor arrogant. When he heard the words of the Taoist, Kong Wu's powerful body was slightly tense, and his heroic eyebrows gradually became restrained. Before he could speak, the general beside him sarcastically sarcastically and laughed: "What do you want the general to say?"

The general also took out a roll of paper from his arms, followed it into the top and said:

"In the name of disaster relief, the magistrate of Dingcheng Prefecture used grain as bait to lure refugee families and serve as concubines. They have names, names, time, place, number of people, and accomplices. They are listed one by one, and they are sure of them. There are also the disaster grain he is responsible for, and there are 30% missing. This big rat traitor, dare to ask the governor, what crime is going to be punished."

A military officer is a military officer. First, you have a tricky axe. If you use an axe, you will see blood. If you don’t make the circles around with your civil servant, you will be on the first floor, and I will jump directly to the third floor. Just like in a war, aiming at the enemy’s key is reckless.

"When it comes to punishment, I have something to say." The Taoist shaking the roll of paper in his hand, not responding directly to what the general said, and adopting the same strategy.

"The garrison and the state army were involved in selling the bodies of refugees in Tanzhou, but it was quite clear that even the lives of the dead were simply written, which shows its credibility. Not only that, the state army killed good people and made great contributions and acted as a rebel against the Jigu Sect. There are so many things. I dare to ask the general, can there be such a matter?"

The two sides seem to be tit-for-tat, but in fact they are still in the defensive counterattack stage. The generals launch a fifth-grade Tongzhi, and the civil servants use the opportunity to launch a fifth-grade garrison. The official rank is equivalent. They are all above the fourth-grade or above and below the fifth-grade are not present. It is reasonable to use those who are not present as bargaining chips and more in line with the interests of everyone present.

Shan Yanwu rubbed his eyebrows, his head ached faintly, and said with fatigue: "You don't have to say too much. The situation in Tanzhou is like this. We are all colleagues in the state. We should work together to quickly quell the rebellion. In the situation in Tanzhou, I have written to the court many times, but the court has no accurate letter. I am not afraid of you laughing at you. I am really panicked. At present, the so-called report letter should not be fully trusted in this situation. Maybe it is the trick of the Jigu Sect's rebels, which is to cause internal struggles and have no time to quell the rebellion. This trick of chasing the enemy and the art of war, I believe Lord Zhou is familiar with it."

Zhou Bin didn't know what to do, but there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. He knew that Shan Yanwu had the idea of ​​calming down the situation. No matter what purpose he was for, it had to be said that the current situation was indeed not suitable for internal strife. The water could be muddy, but it could not be muddy. It was time for Jigu to teach this catfish.

"Mr. Shan is right. I believe that even the most experienced case-handling veteran in Dali Temple in Kyoto will not investigate any problems for several months. With such detailed files, with the degree of details in your hands, in my opinion, there is absolutely no way to do it without a team of more than a hundred people. In Tanzhou, who can't have such strength, who can't have a Jigu Sect? Lord. Mr. Shan is right. This file is exaggerated. It is probably faked by the bandits. The person who reported it has ulterior motives. I just want to see the civil strife in my Tanzhou hub. What do you think?"

"What the General Soldier said is very true."

"What Lord Zhou said is indeed reasonable."

Several people present were obviously relieved, and even Shan Yanwu nodded helplessly.

It’s not that he didn’t want to repeat the sacrificial rituals in troubled times, but he wrote to the court many times. The court either did not reply, and he would just reply two words: “Wait, be sure.”

What does waiting mean? Shan Yanwu was confused. Tanzhou was almost in chaos by the Jigu Sect. The court still had to "wait" what to wait, and when to wait.

Shan Yanwu still knows the so-called stability. Jigu Cult can be chaotic, and Tanzhou government cannot be chaotic. It will seriously interfere with internal friction and shake the fundamental operation of the bureaucratic system. It must be temporarily suppressed. For example, this time the letter of complaint, try the depth and the attitude of the general. Yes, he also knows that the bureaucratic system in Tanzhou is a catastrophe. In the situation of calmness and thinking twice,...

Alas... Shan Yanwu sighed helplessly. The governor of Yizhou was also frustrated to achieve his position.

Leave the prefecture government office.

Zhou Bin's face became more and more gloomy.

"The city guards who patrolled last night all were transferred to the vanguard battalion, and the officials in charge were demoted to three levels in a row. After investigation and thorough investigation, they were shot dozens of arrows in different places on the night of curfew. If this person was for assassination, at least half of the civil and military officials in Tanzhou would die last night."

"Sir, I have done everything." The deputy general bowed his fists and said, "The news came from the Soul-Superior Institute that the groom's corpse was transformed last night. Will it be related to the guard's rebellion and sale of corpses?"

"Huh?" Zhou Bin's nasal voice was strong, his eyebrows kicked, and he scolded: "A few days ago, the elite troops of the state army were defeated by the rebels. There were corpse puppets rampant in the rebels. The corpse transformation of the soul-suppressing site must be done by the Jigu Sect, what does it have to do with the garrison?"

The deputy general's brow shrank slightly, wanted to speak but stopped, lowered his head and responded, "Sir, I'll send someone to inform the Soul-Suppressing Center."

"Qingzhou, you have been with me for many years." Zhou Bin bounced the deputy general's shoulder pad, patted it twice, and said earnestly: "Some things, you have something to do in your heart. The Soul-Shenzhen Department and us are not the same. When Taizu started his power, the power of the Soul-Shenzhen Army was stunning the world. If the Jigu Sect rebellion, if the Soul-Shenzhen Department took the opportunity to get up, our Tanzhou Army and even the various military towns in Dashun will never have a chance to make a comeback."

"But, sir, the Soul-Supervised Institute and the Kyoto support are less than 60 people. Why bother making a big fuss and annoy the lieutenant in Kyoto?"

"In the officialdom, you can't help yourself. Some things are not something you can think of." Zhou Bin patted the deputy general's shoulder heavily and sighed slightly, "Qingzhou, remember my words. If one day I'm gone, you must lead the Tanzhou army."

"Sir, how could it be..."

Zhou Bin waved his hand and turned around, looking a little lonely.

He suddenly felt a little cold, tightened his body, and a shadow widened out of the soles of his feet.

"Sir, be careful." The deputy general knocked away Zhou Bin, his feet sank, his legs slapped layer by layer, and his whole body was like a quagmire sinking.

"Qingzhou." Zhou Bin grabbed the backhand, his eyes turned red, and a roar of storm came out.

The general's personal guards responded quickly, and spears came out in one after another, and raised the shadows and street stone slabs together.

The shadow dissipates at the touch, and the light source disappears.

"Yuanying Organization, I want you to disappear forever in Tanzhou." Zhou Bin roared to the sky, and the fierce bear behind him was roaring, and the clouds above his head seemed to be stirred up.

"I want the people from the Yuanying Organization to hide from the city."

"Sir, the elite camp restrains the Holy Son Legion of the Jigu Cult, and you can just move it..."

The angry Zhou Bin had bloodshot eyes, opened his mouth, blurted out the words, but he still didn't say them.

Source shadow.

Ancient mysterious organization.

Organizational purpose: "Yin and Yang can be used, and the two kills of heaven and earth, there is only a price that cannot be afforded, and there is no X that cannot be killed."

This X means that the target attributes are not limited, both people can do it, even people can do it.

No one saw his true appearance, the only clue is that there is a big X on the mask that changes with the environment.

Therefore, Yuanying is also called X Killer.

Inside the prefecture.

Upon hearing the news, Shan Yanwu held the teacup and did not move at all for a long time.

The Taoist was overjoyed and congratulated Shan Yanwu: "Sir, this is a good thing. Once the general who hides you, the military and political affairs of Tanzhou will be in your hands. If you give an order, why worry about the injustice of Jigu? Sir, why don't we take this opportunity..."

The Taoist master made a knife with his palms and made a cutting gesture quietly.

Shan Yanwu stared at the Taoist's face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually spread. The teacup in his hand splattered on his face with a slight sound, and he angrily shouted: "The situation in Tanzhou is so field, and I need me to teach you the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold? Without General Zhou, the court will not appoint other generals. Should I deal with the familiar General Zhou, or do I deal with the unfamiliar generals? Do I still need me to teach you?"

"Sir, I've taught you a lesson." The Taoist priest lowered his head, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

He bowed silently and stepped back, walked into the official hall, and then retreated back to the corridor. Seeing that there was no one around, he tugged his hands together, and he threw two meatballs in his palm into the flowerbed.

The Taoist priest took a deep breath, looked calm, and as if he had spitted two phlegm on the ground.

There was a squeaking sound of digging the ground in the flowerbed, and under the grass covered by green leaves, there was a squeaking sound of digging the ground.

In a moment, the green leaves swayed and there was no movement. When the breeze blew, a rat hole as big as a walnut appeared.

In the official hall, the Taoist priest greeted his colleagues and made repeated moves of rubbing his eyebrows with one finger at a time.

The few people who received the code ignored it. From time to time, some people took the opportunity to go to the toilet and rub their eyebrows when they came back.

The Taoist sniffed a sigh of relief, looking up at the flowing wind and clouds outside the window, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"The wind is blowing, and the clouds are flowing." The Taoist whispered silently in his heart, tapping his fingers on the desk, counting the speed and rhythm of the clouds, and counting.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The Taoist priest covered up the strangeness in his eyes very well, then looked up, smiled, and the upturned curve of the corners of his mouth was almost as high as the tip of his nose.

Someone covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

The Taoist smiled very calmly, his face was calm, his face was square and powerful, as if he had always been serious.

...

The general of Tanzhou was in broad daylight, and the news that the guards were assassinated and the loss of a deputy general was spread to the Soul-Suppressing Center.

Chen Feng was stunned and thought to himself that it was my letter of complaint last night that had worked? The civil and military officials in Tanzhou began to re-enter, and it was already at the point of buying murderers?

However, the assassination method of the Source Shadow Killer is magical. Without a trace, the true body has not been revealed, and he can kill people invisibly. If he can get a reward for his soul... Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah, don't be targeted by this organization, otherwise it will be endless trouble.

It was not long before the news of the general being stabbed.

There is new trouble in the Soul-Suppressing Institute.

A group of three soul-suppressing envoys did not come back on time to report.

The three-person team is equipped with thirty soul soldiers. Even if the strength of the soul soldiers in the daytime is greatly reduced, it is not something that anyone can control.

The direction of the three-person group to restrain the soul was fixed from the direction from the city to the border. This direction was not as chaotic as the other three directions because the Jigu Cult is afraid of the border army.

The seemingly safest direction has caused trouble, which makes Cao Guangxiao's poker face miserable and a pair of kings.

Chen Feng heard the news and kept silent.

Return to the temporary house and soul, and choose the resentful souls that are bound to the border to depart from the Dingcheng to the border.

I hope to find clues that the Soul-Suppressing Envoy group has not reported for a long time through the way of prostitution.

The clues of the Soul-Suppressing Envoy colleagues were not found.

It is called several resentful souls who have been restrained by the second soul.
