In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

The City Lord's Mansion moved quickly, and had already set up people at the four city gates to check for people entering and leaving.

And, following Chen Ning's meaning, he only investigates civilians, and basically does not investigate the major forces that have heads and faces.

It should be useless to survive like this.

And the news that Lingquan was poisoned also spread.

The most anxious person is Murong Fan, who is anxious to know the direction of the academy's investigation at all times.

After learning about Chen Ning and the City Lord's Mansion's investigation method, the second monk was even more confused.

"Dean Chen, what kind of name is this?"

"Why do you only check civilians?

"Didn't I already give a rough idea of who I suspected?"

"Didn't the old man say it?"

Murong Fan paced quickly in the hall, this matter was very important, and the investigation must be done quickly, and changes will occur later.

If it drags on for a long time, the real culprits will have plenty of time to clean up the aftermath.

But no matter how you look at it, Dean Chen's method doesn't look like he can quickly catch the poisoner.

But it is impossible for Dean Chen to deliberately let the tiger return to the mountain.

After all, now the two sides can have a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

He couldn't ignore the reputation of the Academy.

"Master, the apprentice has met Dean Chen. ”

Outside, Li Changqing's voice sounded.

Only then did Murong Fan remember that he had just sent Li Changqing to visit Chen Ning and take the opportunity to learn about the latest progress of the academy's investigation, thinking that there was news.

"What did Dean Chen say?"

Murong Fan asked earnestly.

Dean Chen said......"

Li Changqing hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Dean Chen said that Master should eat and drink, and don't put it in your heart in case of trouble, the academy is investigating in an orderly manner. ”

Murong Fan shook his head and sighed: "How can you not be in a hurry as a teacher, so let's do it, you still keep an eye on the Kwai Sect, the Yu family, the Mo family, including the Wind and Fire Gang, if there is any suspicious move, report it to the teacher in time." ”

"Obey the teacher's orders. ”

............

East City Gate.

The autumn is crisp, the breeze is light, and under the city gate, the people and horses of the city lord's mansion are checking the civilians one by one.

Chen Ning sat lazily not far from the city gate, glancing in the direction of the city gate out of the corner of his eye.

A small jewelry merchant in Lincheng stepped into the city gate after layers of investigation, and he happened to see Chen Ning sitting leisurely in the sun, so he cleared his throat and leaned over.

"This lord, pass through the precious land, see that you have an extraordinary bearing, make a friend. ”

He took out a stack of golden tickets and handed them over respectfully.

When the merchant came, he knew in advance that the young man sitting here with a good look and bearing that would make the heavens and the earth lose color was the dean of the Taiping Academy in the city.

Seeing that the golden ticket he took out was wrapped in a round and full bead, Chen Ning was suddenly unhappy.

What is the operation of having someone send money while sitting?

It also makes people not lose their prestige.

You can't let him send it.

If you accept it with embarrassment at this time, what if someone follows suit?

We have to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and completely put an end to this unhealthy trend!

Chen Ning pretended to be indifferent.

He didn't speak, and sneered.

His eyes motioned to the attendants of the City Lord's Mansion on the side, and the attendants saw the opportunity to act and blasted the merchant away.

The merchant was driven away, and although the back of the departing was calm, he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this young dean to be so rebellious.

This pearl, but the best sea pearl, rare treasure, is difficult to change, and it did not even make him have the slightest interest.

"Could it be that what I want in my heart has been seen through by him?"

"It seems that Hanyan City is going to be slowly drawn. ”

The merchant broke out in a cold sweat and focused on the Taiping Academy.

Then he hurried away.

At the gate of the city, Chen Ning squinted his eyes and took a nap, and the city guards were still checking in an orderly manner, and at this time, a familiar face, the dean of Dongyang Academy, came.

Dean Dongyang led his disciples out to practice, and when he returned to the city today, he met the city guards to check the crowd, so he planned to take his disciples to accept the interrogation.

Unexpectedly, the city guard directly ignored Dean Dongyang.

Dean Dongyang felt that it might be the other party's eyes were not good, so he moved his steps again and stood firmly in front of him.

"Ahem......"

"Hello Dean Dongyang, you can bring your disciples in. ”

As soon as the city guard arched his hand, he motioned for the other party to enter the city directly.

"Isn't there a need for an interrogation?" asked Dean Dongyang in confusion.

"Of course not, please come in. ”

So, Dean Dongyang straightened his waist and strode into the city gate.

The disciples in the back also followed.

"When did I become so famous?"

"Could it be that the city lord has instructions to give way to Dongyang Academy?"

"That's right, Dongyang Academy is getting bigger and bigger, and even the City Lord's Mansion is starting to have preferential treatment. ”

............

In the evening, Chen Ning, who had been basking in the sun for a day, returned to the academy.

Not long after sitting in the dean's study, Wu Hong hurriedly came over to report.

"Dean, there are some not very good voices about the academy's United City Lord's Mansion investigating several city gates in the past two days. ”

Wu Hong, as the lowest-ranked student in the college, was highly valued by Chen Ning, so he was specially given an important task to collect some intelligence information on weekdays.

Although the Yu family and the Mo family, who are keen on wall repair, have been sharing information with the academy out of gratitude after they each purchased a Nine Shadows puppet.

If there is any news, the college will be informed in time.

But the Mo family is an outsider after all, and Chen Ning still believes in his own family more.

And it's always good to have an extra hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Dean, there are many people in the city who know that the academy is tracking down the poisoning of Lingquan. ”

Chen Ning was not surprised by this, this matter could not be hidden.

What's more, with the size of the Taoyuan Sect, every move will be noticed.

So Chen Ning nodded and motioned for Wu Hong to continue.

"Moreover, most of them are laughing at the Academy, saying that the Academy's methods are simply conniving at the poisoners behind the scenes. ”

He also said that the investigation of the academy was unorganized, and said that he ...... Say dean, you...... The School of Management is okay, but the real strategy is not as good as theirs. ”

As he spoke, Wu Hong couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Dean, it's all nonsense outside! They don't understand how difficult this is, they're just talking cool things. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Chen Ning patted the latter on the shoulder, and only after Wu Hong left did he close the door.

Stretched out his hand and snickered with joy!

There is a smile on his face that he has won the battle!

These guys are too sweet in their mouths.

It's like honey.

"Heck, it's not in vain that I have such a brilliant plan. ”

I've been here for so long, and it's been a good fight!

"Hey, hey, guard against arrogance and rashness, and then look at the information sent by the Yu family's Mo family, and see what the outside says about me?"

Chen Ning came to the book case and took down a pile of news sent by Yu's Mo family in the afternoon......
