After a full quarter of an hour, Xia Ji made a hoarse voice: "What did Master Zhang say?"
If Xia Jing from Xunyang County Wu Mansion was brought back and let him know what happened here, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling him that Ping An County Wu Mansion was incompetent?
It is also equivalent to indirectly showing that Zhang Tianshuo is incompetent.
This will affect Xia Jun's future career in the Wu Mansion of Ping'an County.
No matter what the facts are, this face-saving job cannot be ruined.
"The palace master said to wait."
"wait?"
"Not bad." Xia Jun took a breath: "At noon, after Gu An deposed Senior Brother Liu, I followed him to the Wu Mansion.
What the Palace Master means is that Tao Yu wants to see Gu An alive even more than we do."
Xia Ji thought for a moment and said slowly: "Have Master Zhang mentioned Yang Ling's problem?"
"Yang Ling has been in seclusion for the past month, leaving his affairs to Tao Yu and Dongfang Runhong to take care of.
Since Dongfang Runhong was able to come over at noon, he should have asked Yang Ling for instructions, explaining that Yang Ling has only just reached the point where he can release his inner energy."
Breakthrough from the Dan Ning realm to the Gang Qi realm.
The first step is to release the solidified internal Qi in the body.
The second step is to condense the released inner Qi into body-protecting Qi, and during this period, there should be no interference from the outside world.
"When the day when Yang Ling recalls the three small flags outside and begins to coordinate their rotations, it will probably be the time when he needs to gather his body-protecting energy.
Just wait until then and take action again.”
…
The next morning, at Mao Shi, the city gate had just opened.
Gu An and other county government officers carried the coffins of Qin Li and eight others, and headed out of the east city gate under the leadership of Yuan Shan and Tang Li.
Half an hour later.
Gu Jing looked at Qin Li's tombstone quietly and remembered Qin Li's words.
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and those who go to the capital cannot reach Ping'an County."
Is it that it cannot reach Ping'an County, or that it cannot reach all places like Ping'an County...
Ping'an County has Tao Yu and Tao San, but what about other places?
After a long silence, he slowly moved away and looked at the tombstones of the other seven detectives. Gu An seemed to understand something.
Over the past hundred years, Daqian's Zhenxie Division, Wu Mansion, and County Government have become somewhat different from the original ones.
Maybe, I should do something, change something... While blasting away all the monsters, weirdness and other things that threaten me, I can try to blast these rotten things together!
And the foundation is strength.
It is definitely not possible to continue to be a handyman disciple. It takes up too much of your time that could be used to complete tasks and improve your strength, so it is time to move up and become the main candidate.
He withdrew his gaze and looked up at the rising sun on the horizon, showing a faint glow through the thin clouds.
He turned around, said goodbye to Yuan Shan, Tang Li and others, and left, carrying the heads of the three bandits of the Peng family towards Ping'an County.
…
On the way back, the distance was the same, but Gu An's footsteps were much lighter.
Within a quarter of an hour, he returned to Zhenxie Division.
When the disciple guarding the door looked at him like a monster, he walked inside.
Soon, the news of Gu An's return spread throughout the Evil Suppression Department.
Gu An first came to the weapons department.
Yue Feng had just gotten up and was moving his fists and feet at the door.
"Deacon Yue."
"Back."
"Back."
"Okay." Yue Feng looked at what Gu An was holding: "Go and hand over the task and get ready to start working.
Let me tell you, I won’t let you go until you pay off the debt you owe me.”
Yue Feng knew that Gu An's ability to kill the three Peng family bandits showed that he had the ability to be a regular member of the team.
In addition to what An Yuan reported yesterday when he came back, Gu An directly deposed Liu Yue of Wu Mansion.
Yue Feng knew that Gu An had not been staying at the weapons department for a long time.
Gu An nodded, said nothing more, turned and left the weapons department.
Mission Office.
It was not yet Chen hour, and apart from Sun Gui, who was on duty, the mission office only had two handyman disciples who were sorting out the recent mission situation.
"Plop."
Gu An placed the heads of the three Peng gangsters on the table.
"Guanshi Sun and handyman disciple Gu An are here to hand over the task."
"Hey, there is no need to be so anxious about the tasks of the handyman disciples, wait..."
Sun Gui didn't sleep well last night due to something. He was lying on the table taking a nap. Halfway through mumbling, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wait, what's his name?
When he raised his head, what came into view were three dark-colored bundles that exuded an inexplicable stench, and through them was that familiar face.
When he was lying on the table just now, he didn't feel anything with his nose down. When he raised his head, the strong smell penetrated directly into Sun Gui's brain, making him wake up instantly.
Fortunately, Sun Gui had been at the mission office for so many years and was well-informed, so he was not fainted by the smell.
He slapped his nose with his right hand and frowned: "I heard yesterday that you had returned from completing your mission. At first, I thought it was Dongfang Xiaoqi and An Yuan who were encouraging you.
Later, more and more people spread the rumor, and I began to believe it."
While talking, Sun Gui opened the three bags and checked: "Well, it is really demonized. How much demon blood and tranquilizers are there?"
Gu An nodded and took out a few tubes of demon blood and tranquilizers from his arms.
"Yes, these are your trophies; but demon blood is a special thing, so we will help you exchange it for corresponding points."
It's useless to keep it originally, but it's good to exchange it for points.
"Can."
Seeing Gu An's response, Sun Gui took the demon blood and tranquilizer.
"Less than."
A handyman disciple who was sorting out mission information came over, covered his nose, and said sadly: "Steward Sun."
Sun Gui handed over the three tied bundles and the tubes of demon blood sedatives: "Take it, take it to the medical department, and give it to Manager Xie, saying it is the demonized head of the three bandits of the Peng family.
As for these, there are nine tubes in total. Remember not to throw them away. If you throw these away, you will lose your life."
"Well, yes, yes, don't worry, Manager Sun."
The handyman disciple responded repeatedly and took it.
Gu An frowned slightly and stared at the leaving disciples.
"In recent years, demon blood has appeared again.
You probably also know that anyone who has used demon blood, even if they take tranquilizers later, can only temporarily suppress the violent factor in it.
Therefore, the department has also launched corresponding research, hoping to develop a product that can permanently eliminate the violent factor in those who have used demon blood."
Seeing Gu An's confused look, Sun Gui explained.
Gu An lowered his eyebrows and thought: "Did someone in the department use demon blood?"
Sun Gui looked at Gu An in shock. After two breaths, Sun Gui nodded slowly and entered the points information for Gu An in a low voice.
"Yes, it was a certain gentleman above who was plotted against when fighting against those aristocratic families.
He ingested a large amount of demon blood.
At first, because it was so powerful that it could suppress those violent factors without tranquilizers, it was not taken seriously.
But one day ten years ago, that gentleman suddenly changed his temper and became violent, killing more than a hundred members of his family that night."
