Pucheng, the most central place, is a tall and majestic official area. In a remote and hidden place at the back, a middle-aged man in casual clothes is closing his eyes and concentrating. It seems peaceful, but his fingers are constantly tapping on the armrest of the Taishi chair.
But it revealed the anxiety in his heart.
Something happened today that made him very uneasy. He needed an answer, an answer whether to continue or to stop here!
Although his words are almost the only voice in this city, there are still some mysterious existences in this world. You can dismiss them as worthless in a big sense, but the real high-ranking people know very well what those mysteries represent.
That's not something you can easily offend, not just him, but also many big shots in Zhaoye Kingdom who are above him!
Now, he has to rely on the help of that power. Otherwise, with the abilities of the wastes under his hands, it will take an unknown amount of time to figure out this matter? The most important thing is that even if there are some secrets, it will not be possible.
Let these big-mouthed house arresters know that it is better not to investigate than to do this.
Only those with mysterious abilities have the ability to obtain the truth in a short period of time. The most reassuring thing is that they are not interested in the intrigues in the world. They only do things without asking the reason. This is what he seeks from them.
The real reason to help.
His eagerness did not receive the fastest response. Nearly six hours had passed since the incident, and it was already the dead of night. Even the Gou-Lanzhuo Pavilion had stopped, but he was still waiting.
To this day, it is his habit to eliminate hidden dangers that he cannot identify. Without an answer, he cannot sleep.
Because he knows that for those with mysterious abilities, the night is no obstacle to them,
His waiting did not disappoint him. When he started to pour himself the seventh cup of strong tea, there seemed to be a wind blowing outside the door, bringing with it the sound of fallen leaves flying. The lights in front of him dimmed and brightened, and a man covered in black robes appeared.
The man in the middle stood in front of him.
He stood up without any airs. People from different worlds cannot compare themselves with status and wealth. He felt superior to others, and others thought he was not worth mentioning.
"Master Yong, how are you? Have you found out?"
"I've checked it out! I haven't checked it out yet! This matter is totally weird. I advise you, sir, not to investigate it any further!" Master Yong's answer was not very respectful, as if he didn't know the other party's status in Pucheng. Of course he knew.
, just don’t care.
The middle-aged man felt furious. If the executioner below him dared to talk to him like this, he would have to go to the streets to catch the thieves the next day, but the person in front of him was not within his scope of restraint.
"How to say?"
Master Yong was very calm and didn't care about the dissatisfaction in his tone.
"I found out, it means this person is a practitioner!
I didn't find it because I couldn't determine who this practitioner is! Did he practice in Pucheng? Or was he passing by by chance?"
The middle-aged man tried his best to suppress his anger, "You don't know how many practitioners there are in Pucheng? Can't you ask them all? It's not such a troublesome thing!"
Master Yong was a little disdainful, "Sir, our world is different from yours! You rely on the power of the system, the so-called status; while we rely on pure personal strength!
You are distinguished by superiority and inferiority, but among us, in the practice circle at this level in Pucheng, we are all equal!
I have no right to ask about their behavior, and they will never tell me their movements easily. This is the rule of practitioners!
It’s not worth it for a trivial matter in this world that is not worth mentioning!”
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "Okay, even if I don't ask your fellow practitioners, can't we draw conclusions from the murder scene?"
Master Yong also softened his tone. After all, he was a parent official, so he couldn't be too harsh, so he explained:
"This person is extremely careful, and the killing methods he uses are also ordinary methods. It's very weird, and he kills without showing any blood! In my circle, I have never heard of anyone having such a habit.
The way he came from cannot be traced because he changed carriages at least once!
The way back was also impossible to identify, because not only did he change carriages, but he also changed his clothes, voice and appearance!
If it weren't for the fact that he was rewarding the rich boy with a piece of silver coin that he cut off casually, I wouldn't even know that he was a spiritual practitioner!
All we can say is that this person definitely came with a purpose, a clear mission, a clear target, and no sloppiness in his actions.
So I think that if you want to find the murderer, the secret in your heart can actually help you! From a technical point of view, I can't do it, and no one in the entire Pucheng practice circle can do it. That person is really too powerful. Be careful!"
Master Yong's words hint both inside and outside that this is a dirty intrigue within the officialdom. You know the secrets of it all too well, so why should you let other practitioners sit on the wax in it?
No one is stupid. If it is a simple murder, as a practitioner, it is necessary to help catch the murderer, and it is a meritorious deed. But since there are also practitioners involved, that is another matter!
The battle between cultivators is extremely dangerous, and failure means the loss of decades of practice. Therefore, there must be a sufficient reason! How is it possible to expect cultivators to work hard in an ugliness in the mortal officialdom?
Master Yong started the investigation in the afternoon and was very diligent at first. He was practicing in Pucheng and had the obligation to clean up the cancer in the city. Therefore, he cooperated with the police and had a preliminary impression of the murderer's general movements. , but all traces mysteriously disappeared after the incident, which makes people have to admire the murderer's meticulousness.
It wasn't until he had an idea and got the silver coin that the murderer rewarded, and immediately felt the very subtle fluctuations of spiritual power on it, which would probably disappear completely after a few hours, that he finally realized that the murderer was actually a fellow practitioner.
He immediately gave up the investigation because it was not in line with the rules of spiritual practice.
What mortals officially focus on is the motive, but practitioners need to look deeper. What is the cultivation level of the murderer? Is there any force behind it? Is this murder related to practice?
If you don't understand these things and just stupidly interfere, you won't even know how you lost your life!
He had been back a long time ago, but he just couldn't stand the pressure from the officials, otherwise he would have been too lazy to make this trip tonight.
He has said everything that needs to be said. If it weren't for the care he received from the officials in Pucheng over the years, he would not be too lazy to say such nonsense.
"Why are you so concerned about this murder? If you don't tell me, I won't ask!
But you know very well why the victim died! You also know who probably did it!
You come to me just because you want to use the power of spiritual practice to solve your troubles! If the opponent is just an ordinary mortal, I will accept this stupidity, but if it is a practitioner, I will not accept it!
In Pucheng, no cultivator would risk his life against another cultivator for such a trivial matter in the world!
not worth it!"
Master Yong turned around and left, turning back at the door.
“For us practitioners, the most profound influence on our path of practice is choice!
The same goes for you! Is the death of a chess piece worth such a big fanfare?
In addition, pay attention to your own safety. If he can kill a housekeeper, he can definitely kill you!
In our eyes, your value is no different from that of the butler!"
Master Yong disappeared without a trace, leaving the middle-aged man standing there, his face turning red and white. This thing's words were so hurtful. Do you really think that the kingdom has no power to check and balance them? It's just that he can't mobilize it!
But one thing he said is right. No one knows the inside story better than him!
I thought that after nearly twenty years of accumulation, the Lou Mansion had lost its glory and its connections had gone by with time, like a paper tiger, strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
It is precisely because of this that he, who has always been cautious, is preparing to attack the once famous Sima Mansion. It is not that he is looking for trouble on his own, but that there is a big shot in the court who is very angry about the humiliation suffered by Lou Sima in the court twenty years ago.
Yu Huai, now that Lou Sima is gone, of course the father's debt must be repaid by the son!
And he wanted to go further, at least to change to a prosperous and beautiful place instead of ending his life in this ordinary and featureless place!
He does not have a strong backing in the government, so he can only earn everything by himself! If you don’t get a certificate of surrender, how can others pave the way for your advancement?
