What is the population of Fengyu City's outer urban area?
Eighty million!
A total of 80 million!
The Holy Pilgrimage attracted exiles from all over the world.
If these exiles have identity, status, and ability, they will spend a lot of money to buy courtyard residences in Fengyu City as soon as possible after they flee to Fengyu City.
At that time, the Holy Dynasty also introduced a contribution value system because the exiles carried too much gold and silver, which caused the currency to depreciate...
Just like Blue Star Housing's shared area.
Indirectly doubling the price of goods in the Holy Land, thereby achieving the goal of harvesting the wealth of the exiles to a greater extent.
Under such circumstances, housing prices in the inner city of Fengyu City have reached a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Qian Tiandijie is regarded as the proud son of heaven, who can dominate the Qi Refining Realm of a county. A master of the Ning Gang Realm has to find ways to buy a house in Fengyu City.
Even those who are refining gods and generals who are comparable to great demons will find it difficult to truly enter the upper class society.
At most, they serve as the guards of those big families and the middle-level leaders of some big forces, and they receive higher salaries than those in the Qi Refining Realm, Ning Gang Realm, Bao Dan Realm, and Demon God Warriors.
For this class, some of the things they should have were already there when they fled to Wind and Rain City.
What they shouldn't have, no matter how hard they try, they can't get it.
If you have to live in a luxury house or are unwilling to be ordinary, there is only one way, and that is to stay in the outer city.
Staying in an outer city area with no city walls to defend it and no city guards patrolling at all times is equivalent to the "urban-rural fringe" to some extent.
A careerist who refuses to be ordinary.
A low-to-mid-level warrior who can't survive in the inner city.
Exiles from the outside world but with some abilities.
Coupled with the out-of-control people hiding in the dark and fanning the flames, the demon cultists.
Under these general circumstances, the order in the outer city has never been called stable.
If it weren't for the fact that this is a world with countless powerful forces, any chaos can be quickly suppressed by the strong men in the inner city with overwhelming force, and the outer city would not even be able to maintain the seemingly stable situation like now.
…
At this time, the Southeast Outer City Law Enforcement Court.
He put his hands behind his back and walked in calmly.
With his arrival, the guards and staff of the Law Enforcement Court came out one by one.
Not long ago, Gu Jinlai led the law enforcement officers to raid all parties and raided more than a dozen forces, making everyone in the Law Enforcement Court aware of this powerful King Wu.
Although during the battle of Lei Yuanzong, it was rumored that he had offended the important figures of Wushengyuan in ancient and modern times and was very likely to be dismissed from his post to face charges. However, Lei Jie was later arrested and the city lord's palace publicized it, making the famous names in ancient and modern times flourish again.
Now that he has returned to the Law Enforcement Court, the entire Law Enforcement Court is in a state of excitement, as if he has found his backbone again.
Tang Zhengxiao, An Yu and others immediately put down what they were doing and ran out quickly.
"Master, you are here."
"Have the matters concerning the master of the hospital...Lei Yuanzong, the Fang family, and the Bai family...been over?"
There was expectation and surprise on their faces.
Gu Jin met their gazes and nodded calmly: "It's over."
He said bluntly: "The superiors have appointed me as the head of the Outer City District. You must summon the elite of the Law Enforcement Agency and follow me to take up the post. Law enforcement in the Outer City District must be in our hands, and for now, I only trust you."
"Regional Lord!?"
Tang Zhengxiao and An Yu couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard what Gu and Jin said.
Outer City District Chief!?
Directly promoted from deputy district leader to chief district leader of outer city area, skipping the appointment of district leader!?
They had expected that as long as he could survive the annihilation of the Fang family and the Bai family in ancient and modern times, he would be promoted with his combat power comparable to that of the peak gods, but they never expected that the promotion would be so huge.
Moreover, the key is the position.
Overview of the size of outer city matters.
This is the power of life and death that governs the 80 million people in the outer city.
"Master, you...what you said...is true..."
Tang Zhengxiao felt that his voice was trembling and shaking, and it took him a while to finish his sentence.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately gave himself a slap in the face and said quickly: "Look at what I said, it's true! It must be true! With the ability of the hospital master, he is well-deserved for being promoted to the chief of the district!"
"Okay, go get ready, I'll give you an hour."
Peaceful way through the ages.
"Yes, yes, let's go right away. The master of the hospital will sit inside first."
Tang Zhengxiao said, and quickly led Gu Jinlai into the office, and asked the clerk to bring tea and snacks.
He didn't let them bother too much. He went to his office and sorted out the information he needed to take away.
In less than an hour, Tang Zhengxiao and An Yu had finished cleaning up.
Also selected by them were more than twenty elites.
Although the cultivation level of these twenty or so people is not very high, they basically have the strength above that of Qi refining and formal demon warriors.
The key is that their abilities and character have been verified.
Upright and upright.
In terms of investigating cases, even those military generals and Wu Zong could not compare with them.
Seeing that they had packed up properly, he took them out without wasting any time.
As soon as he left the Law Enforcement Court, he saw the deputy district chief Zhen Chuanzong, who was at the same level as him, rushing over with his people.
Accompanying him were two other district leaders, Qiu Mengsheng, the True Lord of Yuanshen, and Qu Yuan, who had already become King of Martial Arts.
As soon as they met, Zhen Chuanzong smiled enthusiastically and said: "Warmly welcome the ancient district master to visit our southeast outer city... The southeast outer city district master's palace will always be the home of the ancient district master..."
"Of course, I am quite familiar with the situation in the southeastern outer city."
He said softly throughout the ages.
Zhen Chuanzong looked a little embarrassed: "Although the ancient district leader has served here for a short time, the great achievements he has made are astounding to all of us..."
"Don't be so amazed. I will hold a meeting of district owners in three days and will report on it at the meeting."
Talking about ancient and modern times, he glanced not far away: "Fang Jianfei, District Master Fang, has such a big air."
"This... District Lord Fang heard that someone was misappropriating public funds, and left the District Lord's Mansion to investigate below, so he didn't have time to welcome the Ancient District Lord for inspection..."
Zhen Chuanzong quickly helped explain.
"Why didn't I know that District Leader Fang was so diligent? If District Leader Fang feels that the position of District Leader of the Southeast Outer City is not enough for him to use his full talents, he might as well go elsewhere."
Talking about the past and the present, he withdrew his gaze and quickly led Tang Zhengxiao and others towards the headquarters of the region.
This scene immediately made Zhen Chuanzong worried.
On the other hand, Qu Yuan, who had just entered the stage of King Wu, his eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
…
The main headquarters of the region is located in the North Outer City District.
This urban area is also the most prosperous area in the outer city.
Because heading north, you will enter the inner circle of Night City, and then cross the Midnight City urban circle to reach the core of the Holy Dynasty - the Imperial Capital.
Most of the wealthy caravans also come from the north. As the gateway to Fengyu City, the North Outer City District must manage its image well.
The main palace of the general area and the main palace of the North Outer City District are less than three miles apart. It is a manor covering an area of about four to five square kilometers.
Outside of this manor, there are many departments in the outer city.
There are branches of the Demon Slayer Palace, the Martial Arts Academy, the Public Security Academy, the Law Enforcement Academy, the Business Academy, etc.
This area of ten square kilometers is basically the office area in the outer city.
Ancient and modern, with manpower, they directly found the original regional master.
This regional leader is a disciple of the city lord Zhao Hua. He is known as Yu Shengzhi and is a top celestial being.
Facing the ancient and modern warrior whose combat prowess has been verified and is indeed comparable to that of a peak heavenly being, he did not show much of the arrogance of a heavenly being and helped him understand the District Lord's Mansion.
Practitioners always pay attention to efficiency in their actions.
In just one day, Gu Jinli has officially entered the main palace of the region.
Two days later, accompanied by Yu Shengzhi, the district chief meeting was held.
In this meeting, ancient and modern officials formally took office and fulfilled their rights as regional lords.
At the same time, we also had a general understanding of the situation in other districts.
Of course, this understanding only comes from the written reports of the major district owners. How true it is is unknown.
…
Time passed again for several days.
Workspace.
Tang Zhengxiao and An Yu quickly brought the files one by one to Gu Jinlai: "Sir, this is a serious and important case that we selected from the archives of the General Court of the Law Enforcement Agency."
They also graded the files.
In addition to the crimes they committed, the criteria for these classifications also include the background they are involved in.
Throughout the ages, I have taken these case files and looked at them one by one.
What you see is shocking.
It took him a while to read the files one by one and then put them on the table.
"Stablize."
Gu Jinlai said, seemingly a little mockingly: "The so-called stability means starting from all aspects. First, not letting those who have been wronged make a voice. Second, all the righteous people who are pursuing the truth will be punished in various ways.
He will be imprisoned for the crime and deported from the country in the third place. In addition, there is a final method..."
His eyes fell on one of the forms.
Demon attacks, out-of-control attacks, and demon cultist attacks.
Nos. 182 to 190, No. 14 Street, Beiwai City District, were attacked by demons, killing 394 people.
Nos. 405 to 432 of Sixth Street in the Northwest Outer City District were attacked by demonic cultists, resulting in 622 casualties.
Twelfth Street, Northeast Outer City...
This form is full of similar information.
Through collecting and organizing this information, Tang Zhengxiao finally came to an extremely cruel phenomenon.
More than 30% of the steadfast reporters and accusers recorded in many case files ended when demon attacks led to the death of the accusers.
More than 40% of them will die at the hands of out-of-control people and demon cultists.
Therefore, the accusations against out-of-control persons and demonic cultists in these case files can be said to be full of evil deeds. From ancient times to the present, if one does not look at the identity of the person being attacked, one would think that these out-of-control persons and demonic cultists should all deserve to die.
"It's really..."
What do you want to say from ancient to modern times?
But in the end...
Nothing to say.
He looked at the files and took out five of them.
These three parts respectively involve the Jin family, where the master of the Demon Slayer Palace is located, the Cao family, where the city guards are located, and the Zong family, Hai family, and Yue family among the nine martial saints.
It's not time yet.
Then he selected four more pieces of information.
The forces involved in these four documents also have King Wu and even heavenly beings behind them.
but……
"I want detailed information and evidence on the involvement of these four forces."
