The eye-catching portrait of a big tiger with a white forehead covers the entire wall of the Yamen lobby.
In the middle of the hall, Chen Anzhi, the state Yin, frowned and looked hesitant while holding a document in his hand.
Chen Anzhi is an out-of-town official sent from other provinces. He has a gentle temperament and strong coordination skills. Since arriving in Tanyang, he has gotten along well with all forces.
In just ten years, Tan Yang's business has flourished.
Unfortunately...everything can't always be smooth sailing.
Now these troublesome things collided together at once.
The troubles caused by the uprising in the seven counties have not been dealt with properly, and bandits are still wreaking havoc in the forest.
The Moon Chaser Knife is here again.
Chen Anzhi pinched the long beard that reached his chest. He suddenly paused and opened his hand to see another beard falling on his palm.
He sighed.
"Brother An, are you still worried about the Moon Chaser Knife?"
Outside the lobby, the prison warden Li Ran slowly walked in with a jar of wine and sat down in his own seat.
Although Li Ran is now over forty, he still looks like a person in his early thirties due to his naturally excellent physique and abundant energy and blood.
Its body is tall and majestic, like a brown bear.
"Brother...the Zhuyue Sword incident involves many people. There are people from Zhongdu, Xiadu, and Dadu who are involved. There is pressure from many parties. I am not cooperating, and I am not cooperating." Chen Anzhi said helplessly.
"Why do you care so much? Just do what the governor does. He doesn't even worry, so why are you worried?" Li Ran said bluntly.
"You... don't know the hidden truth." Chen Anzhi shook his head, "The Moon Chaser Knife involves a big secret. A secret that only the top leaders of Lingren know. They have kept it secret for so many years and will never allow any mistakes."
"Hey... I understand." Li Ran smiled, and seemed to have thought of something. "Those monsters among the spirits."
"They are the cornerstone of Lingting's suppression of everything, so no danger or threat is allowed to appear." Chen Anzhi nodded, "So, if Zhuyue Sword leaks secrets to me..."
Li Ran fell silent.
There was a similar example once.
That time, the Lingting sent an elite army to besiege, and the top Xuehong Pavilion masters suppressed it, completely annihilating that city.
There were 360,000 people up and down, and none of them were left alive.
Although it is just an example, judging from this, the determination to keep secret must not be underestimated.
"Then who deliberately wanted to leak the secret this time?" Li Ran asked again.
"It's not that I want to leak the secret, but that someone wants Jingying to die. Huang Yu is really just a guard arranged by others, here to repay the favor and promise. The real trouble is Jingying.
She may very well have secret clues to that incident," Chen Anzhi sighed.
"What about the Moon Chasing Knife?" Li Ran frowned.
"She is the key to Jingying. Others think the clues are in Zhuyue Dao, but the real key is actually her." Chen Anzhi explained.
"I have said all this because I hope you will understand when doing things. Don't get too close at this time. The most important thing is to be wise and protect yourself. Anyone who interferes in this matter will not be able to get away in the future."
Li Ran nodded in understanding.
This kind of upper-level game is the most troublesome. You can't see it clearly, you can't figure it out, and if you are not careful, you will confiscate your family and exterminate your family.
"I have strictly ordered my subordinates not to go out and interfere."
"It can't be like this. You don't have to give out the order, but if you don't do anything at all, you will still be dissatisfied. The key is, as long as you don't personally issue the order, then it's okay?" Chen Anzhi suggested.
Li Ran understood immediately.
In this case, we must not only contribute our efforts, but also show that we still obey orders.
We also need to ensure that no leaks are leaked or secrets are leaked.
Otherwise, the entire senior management of Tan Yang will be in danger.
It's quite troublesome to decide the severity of it.
After uncovering this matter, the two chatted for a while about other recent important matters in Tan Yang.
Just when it's time to get up.
Suddenly, a herald hurriedly came in from outside the lobby and knelt down on one knee.
"Report! There is an urgent order from Fucheng!"
The herald held up a rolled cloth with both hands and announced the order.
State Yin Chen Anzhi and Li Ran stood up quickly, walked around the desk, stepped forward to pick up the order, and unfolded it gently.
The fine handwriting on it made Chen Anzhi's expression change slightly.
"What?" Li Ran saw this and felt bad.
"It's an urgent order from Mr. Fuyin Shangguan, asking me to fully cooperate with Ouyang Jianrong... If you need people, you need to use your strength!" Chen Anzhi frowned. "This Ouyang is so capable."
Fu Yin Shangguan regards him as his mentor. If it were someone else, even his superior official, Chen Anzhi, as a high-ranking official in the city, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he really might not care.
After all, this depends on the faction behind the scenes.
But now, Fu Yin Shangguan Shi is his backstage, and the people behind him speak directly.
Chen Anzhi was helpless and could only look at Li Ran in embarrassment.
"Trouble."
"As of now, we can only cooperate." Li Ran nodded, "It's best to hand over the transfer rights. This matter is difficult. Regardless of success or failure, it will be very detrimental to us. It is best to let him transition to other places."
"That's all."

Pingya Temple.
Zhang Rongfang flipped through the information in his hand.
All of this information is written with washable ink, so it is easy to smudge and erase at will.
This is the information he collected and applied for, corresponding to his own level.
"Can't you find it?"
With his own authority, he could only collect such superficial information.
There is very little information about the Moon Chaser Knife.
Huang Yuzhen came out.
"Unexpectedly, this Huang Yu is really extraordinary. He has mastered martial arts to the extreme. He comes from the sect of Lingsong Mountain. Six years ago, he defeated the wind swordsman Zhao Silong in a place called Xiashi County. He has martial arts, sword skills, and body skills.
Hidden weapons tend to reach their peak. Most likely they are ninth grade!"
Zhang Rongfang put down the information in his hand and looked shocked.
"Sir, the confidentiality level of Zhuyue Dao is too high, and even you can't change it. This shows that this matter is dangerous, so it's better for us not to take action." Qing Su said in a deep voice behind him.
After Wuji's death, she succeeded him and took control of some of the vacated resources.
He became one of the three owl-level leaders of the White Eagle lineage.
On the other side, the owl-level Chixia seems to be eager to express herself in front of the new leader.
He took a step forward and said hurriedly: "Sir, Huang Yuzhen is extremely powerful. Based on the summary and evaluation of his performance, my subordinates found that this person has at least a seventh-level strength. His movement skills are also extremely fast."
"....The grade is just a rough estimate." Zhang Rongfang shook his head.
"Winning or losing depends not only on grade."
He looked at the two people.
"Where is Jaune now?"
"There is a place called Baiyin Valley outside the city. This place naturally has a mysterious effect, and the numerical advantage cannot be used. It is very suitable for hiding." Chixia has obviously done a lot of work.
"Where is the special envoy Ouyang Jianrong?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.
"This person was born in Xuehong Pavilion, and his strength is also very strong. It cannot be measured by level alone." Chixia paused.
"The martial arts of Xuehong Pavilion Sect are mostly superior martial arts, and it is even said that there are some unique skills. If you master one or two unique skills, it is not uncommon to kill someone even if you surpass one or two levels.
Therefore, when facing people from Xuehong Pavilion, even if you are extremely powerful, you must be careful."
"The secret skill...is this secret skill even more powerful than the best martial arts?" This was the first time Zhang Rongfang had heard of it.
"Exactly, the conditions for cultivating a secret skill are generally harsh and can only be practiced by people with a specific physique and understanding. But once it is mastered, its power is extremely astonishing.
In addition, unique skills are only one of the factors. Then Ouyang Jianrong has to be careful that he has special equipment."
Chi Xia whispered: "Masters born in Lingting often have sophisticated equipment and secret backhands to kill. Therefore... they are extremely dangerous."
"I understand..." Zhang Rongfang understood in his heart.
But he was more concerned about his unique skills.
"Where can this unique skill usually be found?"
"Lingting, the top sects and gangs all have them, but not many. For example, the very famous Zhenyi Sect's Ji Xuan Yin Finger and the Confucian School's Pure Heart for Jade are all unique skills. But there are very few people.
Can be practiced.
This kind of unique martial arts, even if you master one and a half moves, it is still very powerful." Chixia explained.
After all, he is in his thirties, and his experience and understanding are indeed far superior to those of Qing Su beside him.
"Okay..." Zhang Rongfang nodded, "You can go down."
Chixia glanced at Qingsu beside her and nodded. "My subordinates, please leave."
She turned around, tiptoed a little, and the figure in the light red tights quickly disappeared into the night.
"Sir, my subordinates have received news that the Lin family and the Black Ten Sect are investigating the news about you."
Unlike Chixia, she had just taken over here and her power was not yet stable, so Zhang Rongfang did not let her be responsible for too secretive intelligence investigations.
Just let him be responsible for observing the Black Ten Sect and the Lin family.
Both of these forces may cause trouble for him.
"Still investigating me?" Zhang Rongfang pondered for a moment, "As long as they don't let them find out about the Yang family, don't worry about the rest.
Now let’s solve the problem on my side first. This time about the Moon Chaser Knife, tell me how I can benefit from it?”
Qingsu thought for a moment.
"My subordinates believe that we can first discuss this matter with the Xu family and exchange agreements, and then cooperate with special envoy Ouyang Jianrong to quickly capture Huang Yuzhen.
Judging from the previous intelligence, Ouyang Jianrong was almost crazy about seizing the Moon Chaser Sword.
If we exchange this with him, we may be able to obtain greater benefits."
"He is a special envoy, how could he be willing to cooperate with me, a small ninth-grade official?" Zhang Rongfang raised his eyebrows.
"Then we have to let you show your importance. Without you, we will not be able to complete the task. Then I believe that the special envoy will definitely be willing to cooperate with you." Qingsu said in a deep voice.
Zhang Rongfang nodded slightly.
The power of the Golden Wing Tower can only be mobilized by a dozen or so people. Although these ten people are all masters of level three or above.
But the number of people is very small. And since they are in everyone, it is the best to just mobilize them and use them as thugs.
These are all real members, and the information they provide does not need to be exchanged.
The members of the auxiliary building are purely responsible for providing intelligence, but this kind of intelligence requires the expenditure of resources and money in exchange.
The treatment enjoyed by these two types of members is also completely different.
Therefore, the best way is to use information gaps to leverage more benefits.
"The suggestion is good. If it succeeds, you will be credited." Zhang Rongfang agreed. "Next, continue to observe the movements of the Black Ten Sect, the Lin family, and Hai Long. Wait until I have my hands free, and then deal with it properly."
The Black Ten Sect is a behemoth that spans the Great Spirit, and must be dealt with carefully.
The Lin family is also involved in the Tianxuan Palace behind them, which is the front door of Zhenyi Sect and is also a powerful force.
Once they find out that he is the murderer of the previous murder, the result...
Zhang Rongfang understood the trouble in his heart.
That's why he is so eager to increase his power and strength.
Only if you have enough weight can you completely solve and avoid such troubles in the future.
When he has enough power, then, the matter of the Black Cross Sect will no longer be the matter of the entire religion, but just a personal grudge between him and Anova.
In the same way, the same is true for the Lin family.
It may even become Lin Hong's personal grudge.
"Well, I don't have much free time these days. I'll go out as little as possible at night. It might attract attention.
If something happens, you can hire someone to drop a ball of paper into my home, compile it in code and then send a message."
Zhang Rongfang warned.
"My subordinate understands!"
Zhang Rongfang nodded, and immediately his figure flashed, his clothes fluttered, and he disappeared into the night, heading back towards Tan Yang.
