Chapter 35: The Spy

The atmosphere in the study was suddenly a little depressing.

Ji Zhifu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Shen Lian was attacked, and it was just an accident that had nothing to do with the case he was thinking.

After all, currently under his command, Shen Lian is a rising star.

The Criminal Division has always been an important place for the yamen, and if it is not very good, the position of the prefect will be unstable.

The prefect of Ji attaches great importance to the official reputation, so he greatly appreciates Shen Lian's recent achievements.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Ji Zhifu was troubled again.

In just a few days, five prisoners died, plus a chief criminal officer.

Although Liu Neng died of drunken intercourse, he was involved in the case after all, and he had to be a little suspicious.

And he, the prefect of Xicheng, has no clue.

"During the interrogation of Du E, did Chief Officer Liu leave a case file?" Cao Wuxian suddenly asked.

Ji Zhifu calmed down and said:

Du E's confession said that it was the largest Yunmengze Weaving Hall in the imperial capital, and he attacked dissidents, bribed her with money, and asked her to damage Xiang Ayaji's tribute. ”

"In other words, the main culprit of the case is still Du E, and Dijing Yun Mengze is just spending money to do things, and he can't take responsibility?" Cao Wuxian whispered.

Du E personally admitted that everything was done by her. Even if there is Yun Mengze behind him, he is not enough. Besides, the dispute between shopping malls is really normal, and Yun Mengze naturally does not have to bear any responsibility. ”

Ji Zhifu nodded worriedly.

Cao Wuxian smiled and said:

"The case has been solved, the main culprit has been punished, and the gangsters have all committed suicide. This case was successfully completed and there was no concern, so why did Governor Ji bother?"

Ji Zhifu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned:

"Yes, I'm worried about Shen Lian's attack, I'm afraid there is something else to hide. Listening to Lord Cao's order like this, Ji is really a mediocre person and so troubled! Hahaha......"

Shen Lian listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but secretly slander himself in his heart.

A pair of old foxes!

got the answer he wanted, and Ji Zhifu smiled comfortably:

"Okay, this official will return to the government immediately and conclude this case! Shen Lian, you are recuperating, the matter of the Criminal Division of Xicheng Mansion will require you to contribute more in the future!"

Shen Lian got up and hugged his fists:

"I will do my best to live up to the high expectations of the prefect. ”

"Master Cao, then Ji Mou said goodbye and took the first step. ”

Governor Ji bowed his hand and left hurriedly.

Cao Wuxi sat on the chair, watched Ji Zhifu walk away, and then smiled lightly after a while:

"No wonder Ji Zhinan has been able to serve as the prefect of Xicheng for nearly ten years, and the governor favors him. With his ability to push the boat along the water, many people are inferior to him. ”

Shen Lian was naturally not easy to answer, and was silent.

Cao Wuxi pondered for a moment and looked at Shen Lian:

"If I'm right, you've already stimulated your cultivation bloodline and embarked on the path of cultivation, right?"

"Yes, the lowly position has only recently been promoted. Shen Lian nodded and replied.

"Did the Aquarius Temple give you the 'Gidan', or did you take the 'Demon Blood Secret Fruit' to become a Zen monk?"

Cao Wuxi looked at Shen Lian indifferently, and added:

"Your second brother is the successor I cultivated, you don't have to worry about anything, tell you the truth. ”

Shen Lian didn't expect Cao Wuxian to actually say 'Aquarius Temple'.

The thought in his heart turned, and he clenched his fists and said:

"It was a wandering senior of the Aquarius Temple, who guided me on the path of cultivation. Stimulating the bloodline is 'Gidan', and promotion is indeed the practice of Zen monks. ”

Cao Wuxi was not surprised, nodded slightly, and suddenly said:

"Come, you use all your strength, with the blood of a Zen monk, to punch me. ”

Shen Lian was stunned.

Is this trying to test my strength?

But now is not the time to be cranky, after all, Cao Wuxian still has more kindness.

Shen Lian got up and faced Cao Wuxi:

"Lord Cao, forgive me for being rude!"

He immediately sank his shoulders and moved his veins, and the power of the Heavenly Demon was instantly activated.

Heaven and earth are powerful!

The right palm is a fist, and the dragon elephant gong is used to fight, and it is punched out without any tricks.

Cao Wuxi's face changed from calm to surprise.

In front of him, Shen Lian was already like a bloody Vajra with tendons and bones. Just a punch came, and there was a cold and murderous aura, which made people breathe suffocating.

"Not bad!"

Cao Wuxian raised his palm, and he also grabbed it without any tricks.

Bang –

The sound of the waves went on and off, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Lian was hit by the aftershocks, couldn't stand on his feet, and took a step back.

"You are the one with the most murderous potential among the Nine Rank Zen monks that Cao has seen with his own eyes! Moreover, your Vajra casting body is different, it seems to be the unique secret method of the Aquarius Temple!"

Cao Wuxi smiled slightly:

"The Han family actually produced two extraordinary seedlings, and in the future, they will definitely be famous in Luodu. Very good!"

Shen Lian adjusted his breathing and said modestly:

"Lord Cao has won the award, and he is ashamed to be ashamed!"

Cao Wuxian suddenly changed his words and said in a deep voice:

"The masked woman who assassinated you, named Yahime, is the favorite daughter of the prince of the Fuwang Palace. She wants to kill you, and I've already helped you stop it once. What if there is a second time?"

Shen Lian's heart continued to spin with thoughts.

Listening to this meaning, why does it seem like trying to win me over?

But I'm already a Zen monk on the surface, what is his intention in pulling me?

"I implore Lord Cao for guidance on how to get out of the humble position!"

Shen Lian stopped thinking, took a step forward with his fists clenched, and said respectfully.

Cao Wuxian looked at Shen Lian with a smile:

"In Luodu, the palace of King Fu is the throne of the vassal king. You are targeted by Yahime, and your life is always in danger, and there is only one way to save yourself. ”

Shen Lian listened carefully, hugged his fists and said, "Please Lord Cao for advice!"

"Join the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division!" Cao Wuxian said lightly.

Shen Lian was stunned again.

"Lord Cao, the humble position is already a Zen monk, inherited from the 'Shakya Ancestral Garden', how can you join the Jinyi Guard?"

Cao Wuxian smiled:

"Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division is a first-class force in the world. In those days, it was called 'Wufu' in ancient times, and Kuang Fu Emperor founded the country! If all of them were martial artists, how could they last for hundreds of years and stand tall in the Qianxi Dynasty without falling?"

Shen Lian pondered for a while, this is indeed the truth.

I am afraid that the founding emperor changed Wufu to Jinyiwei, which also has this meaning. Break the shackles of martial arts and form a military system bound to the state.

"I am the Jinyi Guard Zhenfu Division, and I have a clear job and a secret spy. ”

Cao Wuxian slowly explained, "The Ming position is the authentic martial artist, and the Jinyi Wei who has entered the division with a waist card is the main position. As for the secret spy, there is no distinction between the cultivation system, as long as you pass the assessment, you can join!"

Shen Lian also heard about it for the first time, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart.

Cao continued:

"Ming Jinyiwei belongs to the Zhenfu Division, and the world knows it. But the secret spy has other responsibilities, each doing his own thing, and is not under the command of the Suppression Division. ”

Shen Lian popped up a noun in his heart:

25 Tsai ......

Is this to win me over and be a spy outside the Jinyi system?

Cao Wuxi said with some appreciation:

"Han Qingtian is better than you in terms of qualifications and talents. But if you want to be thoughtful and pursue the matter, you have to outperform him!"

Because of this, Cao has a heart to cherish talents. ”

"Besides, you are a cultivator outside the Jinyi Guard system, which is in line with the purpose of the secret spy's material selection. If you become a spy, I will be able to keep you safe in Luodu!"

Shen Lian listened, and his thoughts flew again.

If you want to survive the murderous threat of the Fu Wang Palace, there are only two ways:

The first is to strengthen itself, have the strength and power of self-preservation, and are not afraid of the Fuwang Palace at all.

But in Luodu, there is a small cell leader, and the time is tight and the task is heavy, so it is completely too late to expand the strength and power.

Besides, in the face of such a behemoth as the Fuwang Palace, if you want to fight against it, the difficulty and time cost are too high, and Shen Lian can't afford to play for the time being.

The second way is to hug your thighs!

Finding a backer with your back to a big tree to enjoy the shade will give you plenty of time to develop yourself. You can also fish in mixed waters and get more and more benefits from it.

In the Qianxi Dynasty, the backer of Jinyiwei is definitely a golden thigh!

In Shen Lian's imagination, the Aquarius Temple could not be called a thigh, but only half an arm that could block things.

If you add the Jinyi Wei backing mountain, there is also the Aquarius Temple to assist the force.

"Double insurance protection, I can have a life to develop! If I am quietly killed by the Fu Wang Palace, then all the hard work and plans will become a joke. ”

Shen Lian made a decision.

Immediately clasped his fists and said respectfully:

"Lord Cao, I am willing to join the secret spy!"

Cao Wuxi's face was happy, and he got up and laughed:

"Your talent is the best choice to be a spy in Luodu! Don't worry, as long as you become a secret spy, I will keep you fine!"

"Thank you, Lord Cao!"

Cao Wuxian obviously came prepared, took out a thin card with the length of a single finger, like a golden leaf, and handed it to Shen Lian:

"This is the spy identity card, which can be urged by the power of cultivation, and can call the secret spy Grey Falcon messenger to convey secret messages. ”

Shen Lian took it and put it away.

Cao Wuzhi said again:

"I'll present your assessment news, and after tonight, you'll be an official spy member. Remember, don't divulge!"

Shen Lian nodded and said, "Remember the humble duty!"

"Actually, we, who are full-time brocade guards, still envy a spy like you. After all, all the tasks you take on are well paid!"

"The more you do, the higher your status, the greater the benefits. When the time comes, you'll know that it's wise to join the spy!"

"Well, without further ado. In the future, you will be enlightened. ”

Cao Wuxian laughed, patted Shen Lian on the shoulder, and left with his hands.
