Chapter 58: The Case of the Disappearance of a Juvenile

Previous Chapter

What Shen Li didn't know was that Feng Geng of the Criminal Department and the other three servants of the Criminal Department were all dissatisfied with him being the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the four people who were not dealing with him had formed an alliance in private.

"The rule of my dynasty has been to choose Shangshu from the squire, this kid has not been a squire in the criminal department for a day, just relying on the relationship between the prime minister, parachuting into my department as the leader, I Feng Mou is not satisfied anyway!" Feng Gengyu said to the three waiters.

"Not only Lord Feng is not convinced, but I, Yao, am not convinced! Shen Li is young, what can he do? We waited for the country and the people, tried our best, and died, and never thought that we would finally let the related households pick peaches! Yao Min, the waiter of the Criminal Department, said.

"Since he Shen Li didn't follow the rules, the four of us are now grasshoppers on a rope, we must unite and weigh how many catties and taels this kid weighs first!" Wei Cong, another servant of the Criminal Department, said indignantly.

"I do have an idea to try Shen Li's level. Recently, there have been many cases of missing boys and girls in various parts of our Suzaku Empire, and I have followed up on this case for a while, and I have confirmed that this case is related to the cult in southern Xinjiang, and the missing boys and girls are just the children of some civilian families, and the cult can have a master of the Jindan period. Why don't we let our newly appointed Lord Shen personally drip the troubled waters of the Southern Xinjiang cult? Squire Wang Xuan sneered and said.

"Lord Wang, what a plan! What a plan! The people in the cult are vicious and vicious, and Lord Xiao Shen is young and vigorous, which can be described as thunder and thunder, and he will definitely fight to the death! Feng Geng gave a thumbs up and praised.

Wei Cong and Yao Min also praised Wang Xuan again and again.

Shen Li wandered around the yamen of the Criminal Department for a while, but he didn't see the trace of the four waiters for a long time, so he released his consciousness and accidentally heard the conversation between Feng Geng and the others.

Shen Li frowned and asked a blue-robed official:

"Do you know where the four squires are?"

The blue-robed official said: "Master Hui Shangshu, the four squires should be in the office at this time, what do you command?" ”

Shen Li said, "You go and summon the four of them to the conference hall, and I am going to hold a meeting for them." ”

"Yes, Lord Shangshu, the next official will do it."

The blue-robed official saluted respectfully to Shen Li, and then walked away.

Shen Li was sitting in the conference hall waiting for the four of them, when the ring spirit suddenly spoke:

"Master, the spirit beast is breaking its shell, you open your divine sense, and I will lead you into my secret space."

"Okay."

Shen Li's divine sense entered the unique small empty space in the spirit ring space, and the space was very dark, and I saw that the eggshell of the spirit beast egg that had been purchased with a lot of money was slowly cracking.

"It's coming out!" Shen Li said excitedly.

In just a minute, the spirit beast's eggshell had all cracked, and a small head came out of a crack.

"Haha, my blue-yellow griffon." Shen Li said happily.

It wasn't until the little guy completely broke open the eggshell, revealing most of his body, that Shen Li could see it clearly, only to see that this spirit beast was yellow-brown, with a pair of small fluffy horns on its head, the little griffin was this color, and the griffin also had horns when he was a child, which was true, but seeing that the back of this spirit beast was bare and without wings, Shen Li was dumbfounded.

Shen Li looked at this wingless "griffin", and Shen Li said with emotion:

"How can a blue and yellow griffin cub not have wings? This is clearly not a griffin, I'm afraid the beast taming hall got the wrong egg for me! Isn't it a trick for my sect points? ”

"Master, don't worry, this is an extremely rare atavistic griffin, awakened to the bloodline of the ancestor unicorn, the griffin is the descendant of the ancient divine beast unicorn and the low-level spirit beast after the hybridization, after a long time, the griffin clan was gradually formed, the unicorn has no wings, master, you have made a fortune." The Ring Spirit said hurriedly.

"Huh? Atavism? Awakening the bloodline? Am I still making a lot of money? I want a flying mount, not a war pet! Will this thing fly? Shen Li asked.

"I don't know if this little guy can fly, I don't know, you go back and ask Tang Qingshan, this atavistic griffin should be raised here first, you can get it some food, don't starve to death." The Ringwraith said.

Seeing that this atavistic griffin cub that looked a little like a fawn was gnawing on eggshells, and its movements were cute and cute, Shen Li was also relieved.

"Okay, I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce and buy it some rations for the griffin cubs in a moment." Shen Li said.

At this time, the four servants of the Criminal Department entered the conference hall in a hurry.

"I heard that Lord Shen summoned me and others?" Feng Geng was the first to speak.

"Yes, I just came to our Criminal Department, and I want to have a brief chat with the four servants of our Criminal Department." Shen Li stood up and greeted him.

"Lord Shen, we still have official business to do, if you have something to do, please hurry up." Wei Cong said.

Wei Cong's implication is "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”

"Well, I actually don't have anything to do, delay the four adults a little time, although my official position is above you, but there are indeed a lot of things I don't understand, I hope the four adults can help me get familiar with the business, let's scoop up food in a pot in the future, first of all, we must do a good job of unity." Shen Liqiang said with a smile.

"That's natural, please rest assured that Lord Shen is this." Feng Geng said.

Shen Li thought to himself: "I can rest assured that you are evil, the four of you have a small meeting together to calculate me, let me go against some bullshit cult, think I don't know?" ”

"Four adults, this is an extraordinary period, the first emperor collapsed, the whole country is mourned, the new emperor will be crowned in 15 days, the gift of sacrifice to heaven, the work of our criminal department can be described as the top priority, we must maintain the stability of the empire, strictly investigate reactionary elements, and actively crack down on crime, during this period must not go wrong, if the four adults have any difficulties in their work, please be sure to tell me, I can still say a few words in front of the prime minister." Shen Li said in an official tone.

"Lord Yushangshu, I have a case in my hand that is extremely tricky, involving the Southern Xinjiang Cult, I heard that the Lord is a master of the Jindan Period, I hope the Lord can come out in person." Wang Xuan got up and said respectfully.

"Lord Wang, but it's okay to talk about it." Shen Li said.

"Here's the thing, recently there have been a number of cases of missing boys and girls all over the country, and it has been verified by many parties that they are related to a certain sacrificial ritual of the cult in southern Xinjiang, and there are masters of the Jindan period in the cult, and we have more than enough heart and strength to bring the murderers to justice, and the parents of the missing boys and girls are very anxious, and they wash their faces with tears every day, and go to the yamen to cry and cry for help every day, which has affected the normal work of our criminal department in the yamen of various cities, and the frequent occurrence of such cases has also caused a certain panic throughout the country, and everyone is in danger." Wang Xuan said with an embarrassed expression.

Shen Li said: "I will handle this case myself!" I want to let these vicious cults taste my Shen Li's youthful vigor! ”
