Bai Yu looked at the middle-aged man with one eye patch in bewilderment. Since he said this, he must have thought of some solution?
"I'm going to ask Master Zheng for advice."
Bai Yu bowed his hands and bowed deeply.
The middle-aged man with the one-eyed patch smiled meaningfully, "I don't dare to ask for advice. What should I do if Lay Practitioner Xuanyi wants to kill me and I don't want to die? Then I will have to let her die."
Are you asking me to assassinate layman Xuanyi? Bai Yu thinks it makes no sense. layman
Can't get in...
"alright."
The one-eyed middle-aged man put away his smile and said seriously, "What if you were already dead before Master Xuanyi asked the Jinyi guards to kill you?"
Bai Yu's pupils shrank and he understood immediately, "Sir, do you mean to let the lower official Jin Chan escape from his shell?"
The middle-aged man with a one-eyed patch took out a wooden sign from nowhere, "This wooden sign has no meaning or value. It is just my personal collection. If you can escape and become a golden cicada, I can give you a new identity."
Bai Yu quickly took the wooden sign. Apart from many lines, there was nothing special about it.
The middle-aged man with one eye patch said seriously, "Remember my prerequisites. I will give you a new identity only after you have successfully escaped from the golden cicada. If you leave any mistakes, I will definitely not admit it in order not to cause trouble for myself."
I will pass your wooden sign so that you can take care of yourself."
Bai Yu carefully put away the wooden sign, "No matter what, I have to thank Mr. Zheng for telling me this so that I won't die in confusion."
"I am willing to help you because you saved Yan'er's life."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch waved his hand, "Let's go."
Where to go? Bai Yu looked around the six stone walls, "How should I get down to the official position?"
The middle-aged man with the one-eyed patch said, "In the special space of the stone mountain of the Demon Slayer Division, you just need to imagine where you are at the moment."
"Xiaguan should be at the exit at the moment..."
The scene in front of him blurred for an instant, and Bai Yu felt like he was falling.
When he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the exit of Shishan.
"My lord is out."
The captain of the guard came to greet him.
Bai Yu got on his horse and said, "Let's go."
Back in Qifeng County, Bai Yu went back and forth between his workshop, shop and home as usual.
The young Jin Yiwei Qianhu just killed Fang Xian. He should not kill anyone again in a short period of time. Bai Yu can have some time to prepare.
In the separate courtyard of the workshop, Bai Yu called to Tiger in his heart, hoping that Tiger would come to him.
Soon, the tiger came. Obviously, the tiger came so quickly because he was near Jingzhao Mansion.
The tiger is still a fool with a small brain.
It looked at Bai Yu seriously, "After the first two interviews with you, I always felt that something was wrong. When I went back and thought about it carefully, I found that the tone and attitude of you talking to me seemed to be teaching me how to do things. There was no hint of accomplices towards the tiger master.
A sense of awe.”
Have you discovered all this? Bai Yu also looked serious, "Okay, I understand."
Does he already know? It seems that he has realized the problem with his tone and attitude... Cerebellum Ax's expression softened.
Bai Yu said, "I am calling the king to come over this time. There is something very important that the king needs to do."
He talked quickly, first like this, then like that, and finally like that, explaining each step in detail.
Bai Yu asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember clearly?"
Cerebellum nodded, "Clear."
Bai Yu cupped his hands and said, "Best farewell to your Majesty."
Cerebellum happily climbed over the wall and left. This tone and attitude were just right, and it sounded much more comfortable.
Early in the morning a few days later, Bai Yu put on the official robe of the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, rode into the imperial city, came to the Ministry of Punishment, and waited for the arrival of the king.
When Principal Wang arrived, Bai Yu bowed his hands, exchanged a few words, then quietly stuffed a bag of gold into Principal Wang's sleeve, "Xiaguan has been a little busy recently, but I forgot to invite the principal to tea."
Manager Wang weighed the heavy weight in his sleeves. He already knew that he was one of the owners of Tianxiang Yulu, so he accepted the offer without being polite to him.
Bai Yu started to go through the process and reported the situation of the case in Jinhe County. Chief Wang listened as if he was there. In fact, both of them knew that the Criminal Department had received feedback from the Jinhe County magistrate and the case had been closed long ago.
After listening to the report, Director Wang smiled and said, "I have only been working as a clerk in the Criminal Department for a few months. You have already followed up and solved two cases. Your performance is very good. If you feel tired, you can apply for a period of rest."
Bai Yu said, "Xiaguan is still young and wants to work hard."
Director Wang didn't say anything more. He tilted his head towards the mountains of case files on his desk, indicating that he would pick the case himself.
Bai Yu rummaged through it and said casually, "Are these all old cases? Are there any newly reported cases?"
Director Wang selected a few seemingly new case files and handed them to him, and told him the trick, "For long-standing cases, the files will turn yellow after being stored for a long time. Brand-new case files like these must be recent cases."
Bai Yu took it, looked through it, and quickly selected a new case, "I'll take this one."
Mr. Wang just took it and recorded it.
Bai Yu left the Ministry of Justice, rode out of the imperial city, and returned to his home in Qifeng County.
He took a nap, it was a habit, he would do it every time before going on a mission.
At noon, Tao Yulian prepared rice.
The two had lunch and drank tea and chatted for a long time before Bai Yu led the horse out.
Tao Yulian walked him to the door and straightened his collar while giving him some kind words like "be careful on the road".
Bai Yu smiled at her, turned around and strode away. Today's separation is for the sake of better reunion in the future.
"I have taken a case and need to go out. You don't need to follow me for the time being. Just stay in the workshop."
Bai Yu ordered the captain of the guard and two martial arts masters.
After leaving Qifeng County, his thoughts moved slightly, his eyes were cool, and his reconnaissance eyes observed the situation on the road seemingly casually.
Among the pedestrians and tourists, two guys with "green lights" caught his attention. In fact, these two people were well hidden. They were dressed exactly like tourists and could not see any flaws. Unfortunately, the eyes of reconnaissance can see through phenomena.
Looking at the essence, any concealment will appear to be gaudy.
"These two people should be Jin Yiwei's spies."
Bai Yu rode forward calmly, neither revealing the identities of the two spies nor trying to get rid of the two spies. Someone witnessed his death, so the effect would be better...
There should have been no Jin Yiwei spies following him when he went on missions. Otherwise, given Zheng Yan'er's status as a member of the Demon Slayer Division, it is impossible that she would not have been able to discover this.
In other words, Jin Yiwei's spies only started following him during this time.
It's right to think about it. When he went on a mission before, the young Jin Yiwei Qianhu hadn't started killing the government servants yet, and hadn't alerted the "snake" yet.
Now that two government officials had been killed one after another, the "snake" had been frightened. In order to prevent the snake from escaping, it was natural to send a spy to follow.
