Overnight, he visited the residences of seventeen officials in Wangcheng.

He worked in and out until early in the morning, killing 17 officials and a number of family members.

These family members are usually young and beautiful concubines, and Zhou Xiaozhou didn't deliberately want to kill them, sometimes he wanted to knock people out, but his hands were heavy, and he was knocked to death directly, or he didn't wake up after fainting.

Moreover, after this assassination, it was obviously revealed that his means were not sufficient, and there was no magic weapon suitable for assassination.

There was also a three-inch magic weapon flying sword before, wasn't it forcibly abducted by the Heavenly Rank of the Seven Star Mouth Lin Family, and there was nothing suitable for assassination in his hand.

Don't think that civil officials are powerless, some civil officials are also cultivators, and they are even hidden deeply, and their cultivation has reached the golden pill or above.

Therefore, you can only use water archery to plot and then make up the knife.

But although the water archery technique is said to kill people invisibly, there are still traces to follow, and the arrow shot into the body is also a hole, and the scene will leave a puddle of water traces...

After a busy night, although he did it smoothly with his current strength, he especially wanted to create a flying sword suitable for secret calculations.

The previous one was just three or four formations, and there was nothing to be nostalgic about, so how to build a better one entered his plan.

I went home early in the morning, and drove the carriage out of the city to work, and I was still thinking about a plan on the way.

The flying sword can't just create the same formation, at least there must be a control array to control the flight, and it also needs to break the wind array, break the blood array, break the armor array, etc., in order to increase the probability of success of the plot, there must even be a hidden array and other partial formations.

There are many formations to choose from, and if you want to have a set of combinations, you have to design them yourself.

And you have to understand all the formations you want to carve into thoroughly, and practice them well, so that you can succeed.

It's not easy to create a decent artifact, it takes a lot of time and effort, and it's hard to succeed.

Usually tossing to three or four formations is enough, it is already considered a magic weapon.

Three formations are considered low-grade magic weapons, four formations are considered medium-grade magic weapons, and five formations are also medium-grade magic weapons, and the price of the medium-grade magic weapons of the five formations is not much higher than the medium-grade magic weapons of the four formations, and the difficulty is many times higher.

Therefore, it is no longer interesting to toss again, the difficulty is not to increase a little bit, but to continue to double, even dozens of times hundreds of times growth...

Income, on the other hand, is less.

With this time, you can already create a lot of inferior magic weapons.

"Lord Zhou is back!"

"Yesterday, I heard that Lord Zhou was coming back, and I was so excited that I didn't sleep the next night..."

"I miss Lord Zhou..."

"Get out, you're not a woman..."

Nanda Camp was jubilant because of Zhou Xiaozhou's carriage entering.

This time he came back, not only the blacksmith, but all the people in the entire Nanda camp are now under his control.

Official, it's not big, it's not small.

Normally, it should be regarded as a five-grade unit, hanging under the Craftsman Division of the Ministry of Industry, which is considered a branch.

However, the Craftsman Department of the Ministry of Industry is only a fourth-grade yamen, and Zhou Xiaozhou is a fourth-grade official, which can be regarded as a downgrade.

Because the blacksmith camp has a good relationship with Zhou Xiaozhou, now that Master Lu has intervened here, he is much more enthusiastic about him.

In his own affairs, since he is now in charge of the entire Nanda Camp, he took a good look and sorted out his thoughts.

Although Wu Shengguo has now stabilized, military supplies are still in short supply, and it is necessary to make up for the loss in the previous war, and even to replace it, etc., the task is still very heavy.

The main task of the Nanda Battalion today is actually to make armor.

Whether it is leather armor or metal armor, it is the responsibility of the Southern Battalion.

This is not an easy job to do, whether it is leather armor or metal armor, it needs to be carved into the corresponding formation in order to increase the defense, but because of the shortage of formation mages, most of them are just ordinary armor.

Even ordinary armor is not so easy to make, it is more chaotic, and the previous people in charge have not straightened things out, and there has even been a corruption problem, and several have been removed one after another.

The head of the Ministry of Industry didn't have any good intentions, and threw the things that were not easy to do to a hairy boy to toss, just waiting to see the jokes.

Will Long Yi cure him for his crimes?

Nowadays, there is a large amount of goods in and out of Nandaying, and there are many coins and miscellaneous people, so it is natural that there will be problems such as making false accounts and eating kickbacks.

Qiao Yan said that Zhou Xiaozhou has the talent of the champion, so he will fall in love with him and not make other choices.

It's really not nonsense, it's just that he didn't stay in the school and read it well, and he didn't read it deeply. swayed on the rivers and lakes again, contaminated with some ruffianism, rivers and lakes, and a little nondescript.

However, this kind of nondescript can be combined with theory and practice to a certain extent, and it is easy to understand some small tricks, and a few stewards who have filled their pockets in fraud have been taken down on the spot.

If they are not sent to the relevant yamen in the city, they will be tied to the camp, and the charges will be hung around their necks, and they will be put on a good exhibition.

Then their deputies were promoted on the spot to take over.

I still want to deceive him, and I will do it myself.

Such a process actually has to go through the ministry, there are cumbersome processes, and even the ministry sends someone else, and he has no right to appoint or dismiss officials at will.

He ignored it.

This is his territory, and it's up to him to decide.

Isn't it a waste of time to have to pull things around?

After the appointment and dismissal, it will be submitted for approval.

If others dictate themselves, they must oppose it, and it is natural for them to dominate others.

At dusk, a fast horse ran out of the city, but it was Yan Hanxue, who was dressed in a fast hunting uniform, and looked all the way to the southern camp.

"Lord Zhou hides quickly, it's easy to find people."

Hidden?

Zhou Xiaozhou casually beckoned her to sit and said casually: "This official came here to take office, dignified, what are you hiding?" ”

Yan Hanxue stared at him: "Seventeen officials in the city were killed last night, and it is said that these people all have grievances with Lord Zhou and have conflicts with you in the court. Judging from Lord Zhou's cautious eyes, revenge is inevitable, and it is also very likely to kill people at home.

Moreover, the clues at the scene of the crime are confirmed, and it is confirmed that the same person did it.

The killer seems to have used the water system spell water archery, and there are very few people who have succeeded in cultivating this technique, and Lord Zhou seems to have practiced it, so...

Lord Zhou's suspicion is quite large, and it is likely to be related to this case. ”

Careful eyes?

Isn't it a very atmospheric person...

Zhou Xiaozhou was full of black lines, and looked at her with a tilted head: "Why does Yan Zhutou know so much about this official?"

Could it be that he has been staring at his own official? ”

Yan Hanxue said: "Treacherous people, naturally have to keep an eye on the point, there is a great possibility of doing bad things, once something happens, it is easy to screen out the suspects, which is a necessary requirement for our industry." ”

It is indeed true that once there is a vicious case in the jurisdiction, the old arrester can quickly find out the criminal, because there are only so many people who may commit crimes. Unless it is an accidental or wandering case, the difficulty is as high as blinding.

Although Yan Hanxue is not an old catcher in Wangcheng, doesn't he keep staring at Zhou Xiaozhou, he has a certain understanding of him, and it is easy to suspect him.
