Chapter Seventy-Six: Iron Shoes Have Nowhere to Be Found, and the Soil is the Official
Chen Anmo clutched the bronze medal in his hand, his eyes flickering.
No one even around him knew that in addition to being the branch leader of the Cao Gang, he was actually a member of a mysterious organization "Tu Zhengguan".
Or rather...... A new member who finally passed the test not long ago.
Zhengguan, one of the "ten gods" in the divination bureau, represents the official fortune number.
Among the five elements, those who take soil as the official are thick and straight, and the laws and regulations are clear.
In other words, the so-called "Tuzheng Guan" is the official who is said to be the official of the Heavenly Patrol, and the supervisor who is the law and the law is the supervisor.
Chen An vaguely knew that this organization had existed in the Liang State for a long time, and it should have a strong connection with the imperial city, and in the eyes of some high-ranking officials, it was even a distorted existence.
But at the same time, the "Tuzheng Guan" is independent of the imperial city, has its own set of operating logic, and can decide most of the affairs on its own.
However, its larger actions may often depend on the will of someone in the Imperial City.
Among the "Tuzheng officials", there are almost no mortals.
Even if you are a cultivator, if you want to join it, the conditions are very harsh, because you must ensure the confidentiality of the entire organization, so the first thing to consider is the character of the heart, and then the status and strength.
If the heart is not up to par, then no matter how high the status and strength are, it will not be taken into consideration.
But having said that, if you don't have status and strength, you will naturally not be noticed by the "Tuzheng Official"......
Chen An became the head of the Cao Gang about a year ago, and at the same time, he also caught an assassin who intended to assassinate the county guard due to a smuggling incident, and accidentally became acquainted with a member of the "Tuzheng Guan".
It was also the current boss who introduced him to join the "Tuzheng Official".
Chen An got out of the carriage, and in front of him was a private mansion, surrounded by prohibitions, and anyone who did not have a token on his body would be directly judged as an enemy.
The token on his body represents a member of the C class.
It is said that the "positive" word token is divided into four levels, the more simple and simple, the higher the status of the representative, the more bells and whistles, but the lower, to be close to the "thick and straight" proud.
The highest-level Grade A token, with only one piece, appears to be made of wood......
But that kind of big man is not something he can see.
There is nowhere to verify the truth of this rumor.
When Chen An entered the mansion, he saw layers of shelves densely filled with paper scrolls, and even the light of the windows seemed a little dim.
In the mansion, it was unusually quiet, and only a few members of the second class were responsible for sorting out and calling these documents, and sending the required information to those who needed it using the Qiankun Technique Number Formation all over the mansion.
Chen An quickly found his boss.
Class B member Pei Xiu.
Pei Xiu was a middle-aged man, dressed in a crumpled gray-green robe, with his eyelids always drooping and half-closed, looking a little listless and decadent, chatting with another female member.
In the eyes of others, the two of them only opened and closed their mouths, and they couldn't hear any sound.
In fact, it was affected by the ban.
In this mansion, this effect can be produced by wearing a token and moving your mind.
"If nothing else, the people entrusted by the general should have arrived at Yedu in a few days, but our people didn't wait for someone to come over to connect ......."
Pei Xiu grabbed his hair and frowned: "The sword yesterday is confirmed to be from the Xuanshen Daozi, will it have anything to do with it?" ”
The female member pondered for a moment and shook her head: "The possibility is very small, as soon as that person has escaped from the imperial city, Shen Xingzhu has no reason to get along with him." ”
"Second, if Shen Xingzhu really wants to do it, it shouldn't affect others."
"Maybe something else happened."
Pei Xiu was about to scratch his head: "Isn't that more troublesome?!" ”
"When the king of Ji Qi finishes the night barbarian and comes back with soldiers and horses, it will be even more difficult to leave the Liang country......"
He frowned: "Alas, forget it, now we can only continue to wait...... Ask people to search, especially near Dongting Lake, and notify me as soon as there is news. ”
The female member nodded: "Okay." ”
Chen An waited for them to finish talking, and watched the female member leave, before he stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Pei, I want to use the intelligence network of the 'Tuzheng Official' to investigate someone."
Pei Xiuzheng was upset, and waved his hand casually:
"Whatever you want, don't say that you want to send one person with your authority, it's enough to check a bunch of people, and you don't have to report to me."
Chen An said in a low voice: "I understand, I just want to check more carefully." ”
His tone sounded wrong, and Pei Xiu raised his head at this time: "What's the matter, I'm in trouble?" ”
Chen An nodded: "I have a big brother who has been missing for thirteen years, you should know this Mr. Pei." ”
"Just today, he came back out of nowhere."
"Coming back?"
Pei Xiu raised his eyebrows, he finally became a little interested, thinking that things would not make much progress in a short period of time, and it was useless to think about it.
asked Chen An for details.
Chen An said truthfully: "My eldest brother is called Chen Kuang......"
Before he could say the first sentence, Pei Xiu stiffened his back and interrupted him: "Wait, what is your eldest brother's name?" ”
Chen An was stunned: "Chen Kuang, Kuang is ......"
"Needless to say."
Pei Xiu stared at him twice with a strange expression, until Chen An's scalp was a little numb.
Then he coughed twice, and pretended to mutter: "I know about this matter, I will check it for you, you go home and wait for the news." ”
Chen An didn't think that he would encounter any obstacles, but Pei Xiu actually took the initiative to help investigate, which was really a bit unbelievable.
According to his experience with Pei Xiu in the past year, this person is clearly a fish-seeking maniac who can be as lazy as he can.
He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Pei, do you really want to check?" Why don't you leave it to someone else......"
Seeing Chen An's suspicious face, Pei Xiu twitched the corners of his mouth: "I said that I would investigate, so naturally I will definitely investigate, do you believe me?" ”
Chen An hurriedly shook his head: "Don't dare." ”
He hesitated, but decided to believe the other party: "Then please ask Mr. Pei as soon as possible, I am in a hurry." ”
I'm in a better hurry than you!
Pei Xiu didn't say this, but just changed the topic and said: "The indoctrination officer has arrived at the county guard's mansion, how did you check before?" ”
Chen An said solemnly: "There are some signs. ”
"That county guard invited a middle and third-grade cultivator a month ago, according to that Fan Hailong's tone, it seems that he is preparing to restart the sacrifice to the Lake Dragon King!"
Pei Xiu's pupils constricted: "Restart the sacrifice?" He wants human sacrifice?! How dare he, isn't he afraid of the Jishao County riot when the time comes?! ”
Chen An said in a low voice: "I don't know either, but I can be sure that this Ji Shao County Guard has been in contact with Zhou Guo earlier. ”
Pei Xiu took a breath: "Explore again!" Again! How bold is this county guard, and how dare to do it again...... What's more, in the case of the loss of the dragon in the East Garden. ”
He watched Chen An leave, and his face changed.
"The second Chen Kuang? There are absolutely no such coincidences! I didn't expect to have nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get them. ”
Pei Xiu thought of Chen An and muttered to himself:
"This kid really got shit lucky......
……
Chen Kuang followed the maid to the guest room, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in, and put the food box in his hand on the table.
In the room, Shen Meinan was lying on the table playing with teacups, and the green house was standing against the wall, silently.
Chu Wenruo was taking care of the unconscious little princess.
Hearing the movement, she turned her head and was stunned.
Chen Kuang took out the food and said with a smile: "Come here and try my craftsmanship?" ”
