......

Early the next morning, the Privy Council Department ushered in an "uninvited guest".

Facing Xia Fan, who was nominally at the same level as him, Xue Zhiji arched his hand at him, "I don't know what Lord Xia is doing here? If there is no important matter, I hope not to interfere with other colleagues......"

"No, I'm here for you. Xia Fan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Lord Xue, I want to check the files from the past twenty years. As long as it's related to evil cases, I want to see it. ”

Xue Zhigen's brows were about to wrinkle into a ravine. It's so unruly, even if the two have the same official position, but the age difference is at least more than 20 years, how can anyone ask him so directly.

However, as if he didn't see his rejection at all, the other party took another step closer to him, and saw that the hand was about to rest on his shoulder.

What a system this becomes!

Xue Zhieven had to take a step back, "Twenty years? This is not a small amount, and it has to be agreed by Fu Cheng." ”

"So who is Fu Cheng?"

"This ......," he coughed dryly, "if the file is lost, you and I will be in trouble, so—wait, Lord Xia, what are you going to do?"

I saw Xia Fan stretch out his hand, and there was a flash of lightning on his fingertips, "I have read the laws of this mansion before, and the order department is engaged in matters related to the management of evil spirits, whether it is to eliminate or investigate, this official has the right to intervene." You don't hide anything if you dow it like this, do you?"

"Of course, I'm doing it in a dignified way, how can I collude with evil spirits?" Xue Zhi said more urgently.

"Then why are you so obstructive? I don't doubt my lordship, but I heard that there are demons that can control your mind, and I may be able to use the shock technique to awaken your mind. ”

This kid is serious.

Xue Zhigen looked at the hand that was stretched out again, and felt the sweat on his forehead come out.

He has been engaged in the recording department for so many years, how can he be treated like this!

But the other party is not wrong - the original intention of the establishment of the recording department is to serve the other three, and it is reasonable for Xia Fan to check the file, but it is his prevarication at the beginning that puts him in a disadvantageous position.

If it was Lord Yuan, Xue Zhi would naturally not be like this, but in the face of Xia Fan, who was more than twenty years younger than him, he subconsciously said his refusal because of contempt and disdain.

He is a five-rank tester, and the other party is also a five-grade, and the last time he drove a spell to fight with evil spirits was more than ten years ago, and the person in front of him had just protected the princess from the hands of evil spirits. The young man was impulsive, and he didn't take it seriously, coupled with the other party's shocking heart, Xue Zhiwei weighed the situation again, and decisively chose to give in. "Hey, you don't have to, I don't know how clear my mind is?"

He glanced at his subordinates, "Take the adults to the library and help him select the files." ”

At the last word, he bit hard.

The subordinate understood, "Yes!"

Then Xue Zhigen looked at Xia Fan, "Lord Xia, if you want to check, please feel free, I still have something to do, so I won't go with you." ”

......

Soon Wen Xingyuan and Kwon Gu learned about it.

"Master Xue, why did you let him in!" "Xia Fan, that guy must not have any good intentions! At this time, we should do our best to resist all his actions in the Privy Council." ”

"What can I do, he's doing it. Xue Zhigen wanted to get support from the other two colleagues, but he didn't expect Wen Xingyuan to reprimand him when he saw him, "If I stop him for a while, that kid's seismic technique should be on me!"

"He dare!" Wen Xingyuan blew his beard and glared, "Committing murder against an official of the same level, even if he has the great merit of saving the princess, he can't save him!"

Yes, I really can't keep it, but it's he Xue Zhigen who eats the seismic technique!

If he was knocked down on the spot, what was the point of defeating Xia Fan?

"Now that things have come to this point, no amount of talk will help. Wen Lao, you better take a breath. Quan Gu interjected, "Lord Xue, are you sure that Xia Fan only checked the evil case?"

"Rest assured, I still know what is important. Xue Zhigen nodded, "I specially explained to my subordinates before I agreed, and he reported that the other party only took away the case file, and did not touch anything else, and he did not even approach the secret door of the library." ”

"That's not a big deal. Kwon Gu said slowly, "The case itself does not involve confidential matters, and it poses little threat to us. I'm just a little curious, what does he mean by suddenly wanting to see this?"

"Probably to find something to do for the Command Department?" Xue Zhi speculated, "As far as I know, Xia Fan did not take the file out of the Privy Council, but sent it to the Command Hall. ”

"And then?"

Then the boy called in all the men he had gathered. Xue Zhigen snorted, "Even that rabble can participate, it must not be a big deal." ”

"It seems that our command department is indeed a little idle. Kongu smacked his lips.

"If Xia Fan wants to come up with some trick to retry an unjust case, maybe it can become our opportunity. The school engaged in narrowing his eyes, "There are so many grievances in this world that can be redressed, and it may be good to use this method to increase his reputation, but if he makes a mistake, I will definitely make him discredited." ”

The Privy Council still attaches great importance to the signboard of "slaying evil spirits and eliminating evil spirits".

"Keep keeping an eye on him, but remember, don't give in easily next time. Wen Xingyuan finally commanded.

When the two left, Xue Zhi clenched his fists even more hatefully.

......

In the lobby of the Ministry of Order, Xia Fan was taking Wei Wushuang, Luo You'er and others to quickly flip through the files that recorded evil events, and mainly focused on the period from ten to twenty-five years ago.

Due to the large number of volumes, he had no intention of going through them in detail, and asked everyone to copy only the three records of the case: the date, location, and type of evil spirit, and gather them together on a complete map of Jinxia City.

"Can you really find out the whereabouts of the East China Sea Gang by doing this?" asked Luo You'er curiously.

"Not necessarily, but it's better than searching all over the city. Xia Fan replied.

The princess's men had interrogated the Tokai Gang captives he had brought back, but received very little valid information - not that they were so brave and would rather die than give in, but that they really did not know the specific hiding place of the gang.

According to the captives, the gang is divided into outer circle members and core elements, and even if anyone can enter the gang's important place, they must be blindfolded and led inside. Only by carving a blood pattern on his body can he be regarded as entering the core layer of the East China Sea Gang.

A street gangster who pays so much attention to secrecy and order is obviously a bit beyond the scope of ordinary ruffian street fighters.

Considering the background of the Donghai Gang, their fighting for territory, provocation and brawls are probably just a cover.

Uprooting them is by no means as simple as sweeping up ordinary gangs.

And the first problem in front of Xia Fan is to find the other party's hiding place in this ancient salt city!
