Chapter 53: The Pursuit
Hou Chunhua, Li Jiong and other thirteen catchers, originally thought that leaving the Immortal Division was to escape from the sea of suffering, and from then on they could swim in the sea and the sky. After all, monks are still very scarce talents, even if they are only the first nine grades, there are still a large number of officials, gentry and even small sects who are willing to pay a lot of money to hire them as guest secretaries, either to decorate the faΓ§ade or to improve the strength of the sect.
On the morning of the day he left the Immortal Division, Rong Fei used brutal and unreasonable means to force the household department to admit it, and took the initiative to settle the arrears for half a year, and the arrest and even frightened the people were stunned, but he didn't think too much.
In the afternoon, after the news of Rong Fei's rectification of the Drunken Immortal Residence spread, the crowd realized that something was wrong.
The reason why they insisted on leaving the Immortal Division was because the Immortal Division was despised and targeted by almost the entire Kyoto, and there was no good fruit to eat if they continued to stay there.
But now that Rong Fei is so tossed, the status of the Immortal Division in Kyoto has been reversed in an instant, from the soft persimmon that was originally kneaded by others, to a thorn that cannot be avoided.
And these thirteen people were even more despised because they turned their backs on the Immortal Division, and no one dared to take them in at the risk of offending Rong Fei.
The thirteen people who wanted to create a second spring of their careers suffered a heavy head-on blow.
Before deciding to leave the Immortal Division, everyone had already found a home in advance. Five of them were hired as guest secretaries, and the rest of them also found new jobs that they were satisfied with.
But on the night when Rong Fei made a big fuss in the Drunken Immortal Residence, the new owners of the public arrest repented one after another, and sent someone to tell them that the agreement was invalid and that they should find another high branch.
The crowd suddenly panicked, and now they are really unemployed.
What to do?
What's next?
Although there is a half-year salary that has just arrived, the price of goods in Kyoto is not a joke, and the food and clothing are barely enough for two years, so what will happen after that?
If you can't find a new job, you can't beg on the streets, right?
Or go to the gambling house to watch the scene?
After a few days of hesitation, Li Jiong proposed the most feasible plan at present.
Return to the Wanted Senji!
Although Rong Fei seems to have a non-taboo and unreasonable style, it is for outsiders and other yamen.
He did not take anything for the recovery of the arrears of the people, and he was not embarrassed in the face of the collective rebellion of the people, which shows that he is still quite interesting to his own people.
Everyone was really desperate, and they were reluctant to let Kyoto prosper, and after discussion, only one person couldn't save face, and decided to leave Kyoto to find another way to make a living, while the rest of the people found Gu Fengxiao, who was more familiar with him, and asked him to help mediate it.
Gu Fengxiao naturally hated them because iron could not become steel, and reprimanded them with a cold face, but in the end, he couldn't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles and agreed to give it a try.
After hearing Gu Fengxiao's story about the encounter and request of the crowd, Rong Fei did not immediately refuse.
Regarding their decision to leave the Immortal Division, Rong Fei felt understandable. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and if you are one of them, I am afraid that you will make the same choice.
The reason why Rong Fei really looks down on these people is their casual style, and they don't have the most basic sense of honor and disgrace and responsibility, especially under the backdrop of Gu Fengxiao, the cowardice and incompetence of these people are more and more revealed.
But if you think about it carefully, these people have become such virtuous, and they always have an unshirkable responsibility to arrest Yu Qingzhi.
Rong Fei is a talent that Yu Qingzhi specially went to Fencheng to dig up, but even so, Yu Qingzhi only came to the Immortal Division twice when he was teaching the visualization map and taking the file of the disaster in Xuanzhou. Even those vicious civilian personnel were introduced to Rong Fei after Gu Fengxiao recovered from his injury and went to work, so that Rong Fei was startled by Uncle Peng's grimace. The rest of the time is just to let it go and let Rong Fei fend for himself.
It's the same for Rong Fei, not to mention the fast catches that he can't look down on, pure stocking. Even such a thing as arrears of half a year's salary is ignored, and it is a proper dereliction of duty.
Therefore, the reason why the Immortal Division became the previous bear was that Yu Qingzhi, including the previous chief arresters, was mainly responsible.
Although Rong Fei is not the chief arrester, he is the actual helmsman of the Immortal Division, and he feels that he needs to take on this responsibility.
After a moment of silence, Rong Fei said.
"Skip the meal, let them in."
Gu Fengxiao was overjoyed when he heard this, although Rong Fei didn't say whether he would accept them back to the Wanted Immortals, but being willing to meet was a good signal.
Hou Chunhua, Li Jiong and others were also just as Rong Fei expected, waiting for news in an alley not far from the Immortal Division.
Gu Fengxiao found everyone in a hurry, and after giving a solemn explanation, he took them to Rong Fei's office room.
In the room, Rong Fei was writing something on the desk, and everyone didn't dare to disturb, standing in a row with low eyebrows and waiting quietly.
Soon Rong Fei finished writing, put down the brush and picked up the paper with handwriting to show everyone.
Rong Fei's handwriting is neither beautiful nor ugly, barely decent.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the paper, only to see a line of large characters written on it.
The husband acts, regardless of right and wrong.
"If you can do it, you can start immediately, starting from the registration and arrest. If anyone violates this policy, he or she will be abolished and will not be hired for eternity. I thought I couldn't do it and left now, and after that, the mountains and rivers met and each was fine. β
Rong Fei stared at everyone with serious eyes and said.
Everyone didn't react for a while, and looked at Rong Fei in amazement.
"Don't hurry up, thank you Rongtou for not being guilty of the past."
Gu Fengxiao hurriedly jumped to his feet on the side.
"Oh oh oh... Thank... Lord Xie is magnanimous, and we will do our best to repay your kindness in the future. β
The crowd came to their senses and shouted on their knees.
"It's useless to say that you are beautiful, show me your actual deeds. Give you thirty breaths of time, change your clothes, bring all your belongings, and gather in front of the Zhenxian Stone. β
"Yes."
Everyone thought that they would be made difficult, but they didn't expect Rong Fei to be so easy to speak.
Walking out of the room, Hou Chunhua was even a little incredulous, and said to Li Jiong beside him.
"Pinch me."
"Pinch your fart, hurry up and change your clothes, if it's too late, I won't kick your ass."
β¦β¦
Fifty miles southwest of Kyoto, a dark shadow pierced the night sky, breaking the silence in the mountains and forests, startling countless birds.
As soon as the previous black shadows left, fourteen more black shadows followed, tracking them down.
Birds in the mountains and forests are constantly startled, exposing the traces of those who have fled.
Rong Fei poured spiritual power into his feet, coupled with the help of the wind supernatural power, so that he could stand on the top of the treetops and look into the distance, but Gu Fengxiao, Hou Chunhua and others did not have this ability, so they could only stay on the ground obediently and wait for Rong Fei's instructions.
Tonight is fifteen, the silver moon hanging in the night is big and round, through the clear moonlight, Rong Fei saw that the black shadow was quickly fleeing to the west, not far in front of the black shadow, there seemed to be a small town.
The town is surrounded by towering cliffs on the left, right and back sides, and only the east-facing side is passable, like an urn city. A few lights flicker through the town, indicating that this is not an uninhabited dead town.
After chasing for a day and a night, even if that person has the help of a magic weapon that can increase his speed, the spiritual power in his body should be exhausted, and he wants to enter the town to hide and take the opportunity to recover his spiritual power.
The night before yesterday, when Gu Fengxiao, Li Jiong and others were arresting a group of murderers who abducted women by means of incense and other means, they actually killed a black-clothed and masked monk from the small courtyard where the murderers were hiding.
Caught off guard, Li Jiong was severely injured by the masked monk, if it weren't for Gu Fengxiao's quick help when he saw the opportunity, Li Jiong was afraid that he would die on the spot.
At that time, Rong Fei was taking Hou Chunhua and others to investigate the scene of another murder, and immediately came after learning the news.
The interrogation of the leader of the prisoners revealed that the masked monk was the buyer behind the purchase of the captive woman, but his true identity was unknown.
There would be monks involved in human trafficking, Rong Fei was puzzled at the same time, and faintly felt that this matter was not simple. So he put aside the case at hand for the time being, and led the thirteen arrests to search for the masked monk.
With the help of the Partition Insight, Rong Fei soon discovered the traces of the masked monk. However, the masked monk was extremely vigilant, and with the help of a magic weapon that could increase the speed of running, he actually escaped from the siege of the crowd.
Magic weapons were scarce in the cultivation world, and Rong Fei suddenly became more curious about the identity of the masked monk, and chased after him all the way.
This chase is a whole day and a night.
The twelve catchers who returned to the Immortal Division no longer had the usual distraction at this time, even if they were exhausted and soaked by a day and a night's travel, they still maintained a vigilant posture, always keeping an eye on possible dangers around them.
After all, no one dared to guarantee that the masked monk with a mysterious identity had no accomplices. The arrest of the Immortal Division here may be intentional.
Jumping from the treetops to the ground, Rong Fei was just about to give an order, but after seeing the state of everyone, he temporarily changed his mind.
Running around non-stop day and night, never closing his eyes, never drinking or eating, that is, relying on the support of spiritual power in his body, his physique is far beyond ordinary people, otherwise he will die of exhaustion.
Everyone rested for a stick of incense, then went to a town five miles to the west, where they blocked the entrance and exit of the town in pairs to prevent the suspect from escaping. Remember, the first thing is to save your own life, and if necessary, you can kill the suspect directly. I'll go into town first. β
After explaining, Rong Fei raised his feet and wanted to act, but was caught up by Gu Fengxiao.
Xu is because he has followed Rong Fei to solve nearly a thousand cases and accumulated and absorbed a large amount of criminal reputation, Gu Fengxiao's cultivation is now significantly higher than that of the other twelve colleagues, and there is a faint trend of advancing to the eighth grade.
Therefore, although Gu Fengxiao was also sweating profusely, he still looked like he had spare energy.
"Head, life is not familiar, it is too dangerous for you to go alone. Take me with you, and take care of me. β
Rong Fei thought about it for a while and agreed, the last time he almost lost his life in the fox's mouth is still vivid, and he should indeed be cautious.
"Hou Chunhua, you will be in charge of the command when we are away."
"Subordinate Order."
The mountain road was difficult to walk and the light was dim, so the two walked for a long time before they came to the outskirts of the town.
Gu Fengxiao raised his head and looked at the plaque on the archway outside the town by the moonlight.
"Keitan Town, so close to Kyoto, how come I've never heard of it."
After finally seeing the handwriting on the plaque, Gu Fengxiao muttered strangely.
"Ahh
Terrible screams came from the town.
