Su Yu got up refreshed, washed up, dressed neatly, went to the front yard to have breakfast, and then went out in the direction of Zhenwu Si.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhenwu Division, Su Yu saw a dense group of people surrounding the gate of Zhenwu Division.
These people were all warriors in powerful attire, and their expressions looked a little indignant.
"Come out, you must give us an explanation today!"
"I told you before that after Xia Shou, I gave us an explanation. Now that Xia Shou has passed, we must give us an explanation!"
"Dog Officer, come out!"
"come out!"
"Yes, you must give us an explanation today!"
"come out!"
"."
What's going on?
Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Warriors in the martial arts world have always tried their best to avoid dealing with the Zhenwu Division.
Now that so many warriors from the martial arts world are surrounding the gate of the Zhenwu Division, aren't they afraid that the Zhenwu Division will send out the Zhenwu Guards to suppress them all?
Of course, if these densely packed martial arts warriors really fight, it will probably be a big battle.
These martial arts warriors may also be aware of Zhenwu Si's tactics, but they just surrounded the door of Zhenwu Si and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
As for both sides of the street, they were crowded with people watching the excitement.
Su Yu frowned slightly and did not continue to approach.
As a Qianhu member of the Zhenwu Division, once he got close to him, these warriors would probably surround him in an instant.
After observing for a moment, Su Yu jumped up to the high wall of Zhenwusi, and then walked in the direction of Zhenfufu.
When Su Yu came to the living room, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui had already arrived.
"Brother Su, good morning."
Seeing Su Yu come in, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui smiled and greeted each other.
"Brother Liang, good morning, Brother Sun."
Su Yu smiled and said hello, and then couldn't help but ask: "Brother Liang, Brother Sun, so many martial arts warriors gathered around the gate of Zhenwu Division, what happened?"
Half a month has passed since he was sent by Wei Lianyi to patrol the Qingtan Monster Forest. Most of the situations in the Zhenwu Division can only be understood from Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui.
When Su Yu mentioned this matter, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui both had strange expressions on their faces.
"Hey, Brother Su, you've been out for more than half a month, so I'm afraid you don't know anything about everything that happened in Jingzhou during this time."
Sun Xichui said with a wry smile: "During this period in Jingzhou, in the past few months, warriors from the martial arts world often disappeared for no reason."
"There were relatively few missing people before, and since they are warriors from the martial arts world, the Zhenwu Division is naturally not in the mood to deal with them. After all, our Zhenwu Division itself is in charge of these people."
"I even thought for a while that these guys were secretly mutilated and their traces wiped out."
"But as time goes by, more and more Jianghu warriors disappear for no reason, and people in the Jingzhou Jianghu are beginning to panic."
"Because no one knows when they will suddenly 'disappear'?"
"During this period, many warriors from the martial arts world even left Jingzhou and went to other eight states to seek life."
"But as more and more martial artists are missing, some family members of the missing warriors still come to our door and ask our Suppressing Military Division to investigate the matter thoroughly."
"Hey, brother Su, it's strange that these guys from the martial arts world actually want our Zhenwu Division to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of these martial arts warriors."
"Before, our Zhenwu Division was busy with the summer hunting, so naturally we were not in the mood to deal with these guys, so we excused ourselves and said we would give these guys an explanation after the summer hunting."
"No, once the summer hunting is over, these guys will come to your door."
After listening to Sun Xicui's description, Su Yu frowned slightly.
A large number of warriors from the martial arts world disappeared for no reason?
What is going on?
Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "Approximately how many warriors in the martial arts world have disappeared in the past few months?"
Liang Yuxuan replied: "As expected, there are probably three to four hundred people who came to Zhenwu Division to report the crime."
"But these are the people who came to report the crime. Most of them didn't want to deal with the Zhenwu Division, so they never came to report the crime."
"Totaling all of these missing people, I'm afraid there must be thousands of them."
Thousands of people?
Su Yu's brows jumped.
Could it be said that it was the work of Hell Gate and the Nian Organization?
Secretly recruiting an army of warriors to overthrow the rule of Wei?
Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "What are the cultivation levels of most of these missing people?"
Sun Xichui said: "Most of them are in the body refining realm and the copper skin realm. Of course, there are also some iron bone realms."
Most of them are in the body refining realm and the copper skin realm?
Su Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
In just a few months, so many martial artists have disappeared in Jingzhou. You don't need to guess to know that something is wrong.
What made Su Yu curious was that so many martial artists were missing. What were the intentions of the people behind this incident?
Are these missing warriors already dead, or what happened to them?
All of this made Su Yu feel like a storm was about to come.
It turns out that such a big thing happened in Zhenwu Division during his absence?
Su Yu asked again: "How did these people disappear?"
Liang Yuxuan smiled bitterly and said: "There are all kinds of strange ways of disappearing. Many of them went into groups to hunt monsters and disappeared accidentally."
"Think about it, with this kind of unexpected disappearance, our Zhenwu Division must think that they have all fallen into the belly of the monster."
"There are also those who say goodbye to their families and go to visit friends, and then disappear on the way. The family members of the missing warriors find their friends, but the friends also say that they have not received a visit from the warrior during this period. In other words, this warrior is in
On the way to visit, he unexpectedly disappeared."
"In addition, there are also people who have disappeared for various reasons, which I can't explain for a while."
"Brother Su, we have to be careful during this time. I'm afraid the origins of this group of people are not simple."
Su Yu nodded and then said, "Did Mr. Wei say anything?"
Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui both shook their heads.
"Master Wei has been busy with Xia Shou during this period. How can he be in the mood to pay attention to these martial arts warriors? It's not too late to be happy that someone has helped us clear the order in the Jianghu in Jingzhou."
Sun Xichui shook his head and continued: "But now that Xia Shou has passed, I guess Master Wei will focus on this."
"If all the warriors in Jingzhou's arena go to other states one after another, and no one hunts monster beasts, the people will not be able to obtain monster meat to improve their health, but there will be no way for new warriors to continuously appear."
When people train their children to become warriors, the first step is to improve the child's blood.
The main way to obtain blood energy is to rely on eating monster meat.
Monsters need warriors in the world to hunt them down, thus forming a perfect closed loop.
With the large-scale disappearance of warriors in Jingzhou, the warriors in Jingzhou have undoubtedly become panic-stricken.
No one can guarantee whether they will become one of the missing persons.
Since you can’t afford to offend, you can always afford to hide, right?
Once a large number of warriors from the Jingzhou arena flee, it will inevitably lead to no one hunting monsters, and it will become more and more difficult for ordinary people's children to obtain monster meat. In the end, there will be no fresh blood to join from the source.
If everything in Jingzhou's Jianghu is clear, then the real crisis for Jingzhou Zhenwu Division is probably coming.
Therefore, no matter what, Zhenwu Division must find out the matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to Jingzhou Jianghu.
Then the three of them chatted for a while, until the sun rose and Wei Lianyi walked into the living room.
Behind her, there was a middle-aged man wearing a gold flying fish suit.
Seeing this person, Su Yu and the other three were startled, and immediately understood that this person must be the newly promoted Qianhu.
The three of them stood up together, then clasped their fists and bowed, bowing and saying, "Sir."
"Um."
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Qu Kongzhang, from Yunzhou Zhenwu Division, and now holds the position of Qianhu in Jingzhou Zhenwu Division."
"Please introduce yourselves."
"Lord Qu, I'm Su Yu."
"Master Su."
"Master Qu, I'm Liang Yuxuan."
"Master Liang."
"Lord Qu, I am Sun Xicui."
"Master Sun."
Qu Kongzhang clasped his fists at the three of them and said with a smile: "Haha, Qu is new here. Please give me your advice in the future."
The four of them each greeted each other politely.
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, it was really a new generation replacing the old ones.
The four of them have been in charge of Qianhu for just over half a year, and now a new Qianhu has arrived.
Su Yu glanced at Sun Xicui and Liang Yuxuan. Their expressions were also somewhat sad. Presumably, they were thinking of He Bohong who shared weal and woe.
Now I see that He Bohong's position has been replaced by someone else, and I don't know if my position will be replaced by someone else in the future.
If possible, the two of them naturally don't want that day to come.
After both sides finished their introductions, Wei Lianyi looked around and said, "I will talk about some work-related matters next."
"Just half an hour ago, His Majesty informed my officials to launch an anti-corruption purge."
"The Zhenwu Division accepts reports from the people. If the people report officials who have accepted corruption and bribery, the Zhenwu Division can take people to the homes of the officials who have been reported to conduct investigations. If there is a huge amount of property in the official's home, the source is unknown, and the property in the home does not match the official's rank and salary.
Take him to the martial arts prison for interrogation."
"In this purge, the people provide evidence to prove that officials have committed corruption and bribery, and 90% of the confiscated officials' property will be put into the national treasury, and the remaining 10% will be owned by the people who provide evidence and report!"
After hearing Wei Lianyi's words, Su Yu, Liang Yuxuan, and Sun Xicui suddenly looked a little strange.
Obviously, Wei and Jin were putting small shoes on their civil and military officials.
Although they all expected that Wei and Jin would be disgraced in the Xia Shou, they would definitely find fault with these officials next, but they did not expect that the action would be so fast.
This is actually another duty assigned by the emperor to the Zhenwu Division, which is to supervise all officials and identify corruption.
This duty is generally not used. It is usually used when the emperor is dissatisfied with the behavior of court officials.
Whenever the emperor launched an anti-corruption campaign, it was usually the officials in the court who jumped up and down and had to beat them hard and randomly bring out a few big fish to set an example.
Having just lost their prestige in the Xia Shou, Wei and Jin immediately launched an anti-corruption campaign, which was also a disguised attack on civil and military officials.
Since you are doing the first grade of junior high school, I have to do the fifteenth grade.
It seems that during this period in Tai'an City, the officials in the court have to behave with their tail between their legs.
Su Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
When the emperor wanted to beat the officials in the court, the Zhenwu Division, a military organization, was there to assist, so the officials had to keep a low profile during this period.
It would be fine if the Zhenwu Division did not find evidence of corruption and bribery. Once found, it would undoubtedly become the chicken that killed the chicken in the Wei and Jin Dynasties to scare the monkeys.
However, it is not easy to find evidence of corruption and bribery by these guys.
After all, he is a veteran in the officialdom, and there are too many ways to avoid being discovered for corruption and bribery.
As far as Su Yu knows, there are many ways.
When officials know that the embezzled money in their hands will be used as evidence in court if found, they will generally not accept the money directly. Instead, they will directly accept other benefits.
Life in this world is nothing more than power, wealth and sex.
Since you have power in your hands, you will naturally have no shortage of wealth and sex.
But accepting money directly will inevitably lead to the possibility of thunderstorms.
And receiving wealth is nothing more than using the wealth to live a life of fine clothing and food.
If this is the case, then why not just skip wealth and live a life of luxury and good food?
For this reason, civil and military officials from all dynasties and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers!
Anyway, there are many ways to use your position to receive benefits, and it also prevents outsiders from finding any opportunities to take advantage.
Many people will try all kinds of weird ways to bribe these officials.
For example, they specialize in selling various high-priced delicacies from mountains and seas directly to officials at extremely low prices, but what is recorded on the books is just ordinary meat.
Okay, now the step of being well-dressed and well-fed has been completely covered up.
As long as you don't have to worry about good food and clothing, the next step is to look beautiful.
Generally speaking, girls from Jiaofangsi do not go out of court.
But when you add enough money, this rule will naturally cease to be a rule.
Many times, a girl who has just arrived at the Jiaofang Department will be blindfolded and carried into a sedan chair to serve a certain dignitary.
After they are done, they will be sent away secretly. The girl from Jiaofangsi will not even know who is sleeping with her.
It is precisely because of this that officials can live a comfortable life without corruption or bribery. Once new tea is available in the Jiaofang Department, they can taste it as soon as possible.
At this time, it doesn't matter whether you have money or not, because everything you want is at your fingertips. It can be said that it is a dream tonight, and someone will make it come true in the morning.
Naturally, Su Yu learned these things from chatting with Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xichui after he took up the post of Qianhu.
The main thing these officials are doing is a non-stick pan. They have a poor family, but they are well-dressed and well-fed, and they have many wives and concubines. You can't find any way to control them.
However, since there are dedicated people outside who are trying their best to please them, these officials are already very popular ministers in the court.
The emperor would not touch these people easily. As long as he did his job well, it was understandable that he would enjoy some luxury.
What you are afraid of is the kind of guy who is in his position but can't do anything practical. The people support you, but you still try every means to make things difficult and exploit the people.
Are the people afraid that you will live in fine clothes and fine food?
As long as you, as a local official, can make the local people live and work in peace and contentment, travel as extravagantly as the emperor, and have a harem of three thousand beauties, the people will say that you deserve these things.
As for Xia Shou and his party, the civil and military officials really offended the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so the Wei and Jin Dynasties launched this anti-corruption campaign.
Of course, the main purpose of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was also to attack, and it was not to replace all the people in the court. Otherwise, it would not rely on the people to report, but to recall the commanders and use their spiritual consciousness to investigate secretly.
If we really investigate carefully, only 50% of the officials in the court will be in serious trouble.
"In addition to this incident, in recent months, Jianghu warriors have often disappeared for no reason in the Jingzhou arena."
Wei Lianyi looked at the four of them, and then said: "The four of you ask the people below to pay more attention to this news, and at the same time, be more cautious during the execution of the task, and report to the officer immediately if there are any clues."
"yes!"
Su Yu and the four others responded in unison.
Wei Lianyi waved his hand and said: "There's nothing else to do. Let's go back and do our work. Liang Yuxuan, you take Qu Kongzhang to take over the troops of hundreds of households under He Bohong's command."
"yes."
The four people responded, then turned and left.
After returning to his Qianhu Mansion and explaining the two things Wei Lianyi ordered to his subordinate Ma Zai, Su Yu returned to his study and took out more than ten bottles of Nirvana blood water and poured it into his stomach.
It wasn't until the third attribute appeared on the attribute panel that Su Yu stopped taking it.
"The first time I took the Nirvana Blood Water, I gained some attributes in ten bottles. Now, before the second time I take it, I already need thirteen bottles. I estimate that I will need twenty bottles the next time."
Looking at the jade bottle on the table, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
If it weren't for the antique blood ginseng beard, these hundred bottles of Nirvana blood water might not last long.
Then Su Yu created a clone, first disguised himself, then put on a black robe and walked towards the direction of Wanbao Tower.
Regarding the disappearance of the warriors in the Jingzhou arena, Su Yu faintly realized that the matter might not be that simple.
Wanbaolou has branches in various large cities, so it may not be certain that he knows some relevant inside information.
In addition, after he went to the Qingtan Demonic Beast Forest, he had indeed not refined the Calming Pills for a while. He just took advantage of this leisure time to refine a few more pills. After all, his wife and concubines did not have one yet.
What about.
Let them often stay up late at night with you, but they will grow old easily...
"Sir, how can I help you?"
Su Yu stepped into Wanbao Tower and was immediately greeted by a maid.
"I'm looking for the medicine shopkeeper."
Su Yu said calmly.
"Senior, please come with me."
Under the leadership of the maid, Su Yu came all the way to Yao Hongshang's room.
"Senior, you are finally here. Several customers are still waiting to buy Dingyan Dan."
Su Yu's arrival made De Yao Hongshang's eyes light up.
After ordering the people below to prepare the medicinal materials for formulating Yan Dan, the two began to chat.
While waiting for the people below to send the medicinal materials to the alchemy room, Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "During this period, I heard that there have been martial artists disappearing for no reason in the Jianghu in Jingzhou. Has Wanbao Tower received any news?"
Hearing this, Yao Hongshang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I don't know the specific situation very well, but there are rumors in the world that a certain warrior in the world has practiced evil skills and can use other warriors to improve his cultivation.
"
Use other warriors to improve your own cultivation?
Su Yu couldn't help but be startled. Doesn't that mean he wants to eat people? Or is he practicing to absorb energy?
Can you inhale the vitality from other people's Dantian into your own body?
But if there really is such an evil technique, there is no need for him to capture Jingzhou Jianghu, right?
Once it attracts the attention of the Zhenwu Division and dispatches a commander to conduct a thorough investigation, wouldn't it mean that he would be left with nothing to eat.
The safest way is undoubtedly to travel around the three countries. Every time you arrive at a place, wait for the situation to get serious before going to other places to develop.
However, Su Yu has always believed in things that cannot be understood, so don't think about it and wait for time for the truth to come out.
Anyway, he has plenty of time.
Su Yu put away his thoughts and then asked: "During this period, did anything strange happen in the Three Kingdoms?"
"Weird things?"
Yao Hongshang shook his head and said with a smile: "Really speaking, two major things happened."
"Senior must still remember something that junior once said, that is, two ten thousand-year-old blood ginseng essences appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"According to the news from Wanbao Tower in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is said that all the bad guys have been dispatched, and all the thirty-six heavenly gangs and seventy-two earth evils have been killed. The bad commander Yuan Xiao has successfully pocketed the essence of two thousand-year-old blood ginseng."
"According to widespread rumors in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the bad handsome Yuan Xiao is already using these two thousand-year-old blood ginseng essence to attack the Martial Saint."
"In addition, bad guys are also recruiting warriors from the Qianlong Realm and Yuyue Realm in the world, presumably to re-establish the Thirty-six Tiangang and the Seventy-two Disha."
After hearing the news, Su Yu's expression under the black gauze hat couldn't help but be a little strange.
In that accident, the entire Xingguang Island was razed to the ground, and everyone in the city died. There was no way for the news to spread, and the warriors in the world could only make guesses.
But he, the person who really took away the Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng, didn't even say a word.
"I guess Yuan Xiao will be furious when he knows this news. He didn't get anything, but he got the news that he has obtained the ten thousand-year-old blood ginseng essence to attack the Martial Saint."
Su Yu felt secretly happy, and then continued: "What about the second thing?"
Yao Hongshang continued: "It is said that a guy named Xing Jincheng from the Northern Qi Dynasty accidentally obtained a map recording the tomb of the Martial Saint. He was hunted down by warriors from the martial arts world in the Northern Qi Dynasty. There are rumors that Xing Jincheng has secretly gone to Da Da.
