The mist is dark, and the fog drifts away.

In the woods, the sound of water droplets splashing on the leaves is faintly heard.

Yao Qianpan sat on the roof, his eyes slightly closed, and he pinched out a series of fingers in his hands.

Suddenly.

A golden light pierced through the mist and shone on his body.

His face moved slightly, and the fingers in his hands pinched faster and faster, and as the fingers in his hands continued to change, golden light broke through the mist and shrouded his body.

Yao Qian immediately felt that with his pinching, there seemed to be a slightly hot fire flowing into his arms.

It's a strange feeling.

If you feel it carefully, it seems to be if there is nothing, but it does not seem to be real.

He knew that this should be the yang qi cultivated in the mental method of the "Wood Burning Knife Method".

That's right, this sword technique has been repaired by the potential point, and it has been re-transformed into a sword technique suitable for him to cultivate.

It took him a full three days to master the technique, and if it weren't for the pagination moves that followed, and a few other things, he might have gotten started faster.

Soon, an hour had passed.

Yao Qian felt that in his arms, two rays of yang qi were inexplicably circulating in his arms.

These two yang qi are extremely weak, if it weren't for the subtle induction, there would be no feeling at all.

"Blue Star"

With a low call in his mouth, his eyes opened slightly, and he looked down at the corner of his eye, and sure enough, there was another martial art.

Wood-burning knife method: the first heavy (special effect: yang fire poison)

"I didn't expect that there would be so much difference between the second-rate sword technique and the third-rate martial arts, but yes, if this wood-burning knife technique wasn't missing the exercises, it wouldn't be placed on the third layer for people to refer to, but I had some luck. ”

After getting the "Wood Burning Knife Method", he also paid attention to other martial arts cheats placed on several other platforms, but he never found martial arts with special effects again.

Obviously, although the "Wood Burning Knife Method" is second-rate, the effect is close to first-class martial arts.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he stood up from the eaves, and with a slight step, several feet high, he jumped down and landed firmly on the ground.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Cen Yaqiu walking in the direction of the Hanging Mirror Division.

Cen Yaqiu also saw him and stood in place waiting for him to come over.

"Why haven't you seen Zhang Zhengyin in the past two days?"

"It's right not to see him, do you think that there is no case in the Hanging Mirror Division, Zhang Zhengyin went out to handle the case, after all, we can live by merit, and every year the imperial court has inspected the branches of the Hanging Mirror Division in various cities, and our side has been at the bottom for several years. ”

Cen Yaqiu didn't hide it in the slightest, and told him about the battle in the Hanging Mirror Division.

You must know that the Hanging Mirror Division is not an ordinary yamen, and it can even be said that the power is at stake, not only is there infighting in the local Hanging Mirror Division, but there are also comparisons in the Hanging Mirror Division everywhere.

In addition, the imperial court still has all kinds of investigations for various hanging mirror divisions, and in this environment, it takes a lot of effort to keep the official position under the buttocks.

Not to mention anything else, just every year there are certain requirements for the detection rate of the Hanging Mirror Division, how many thieves to catch, and so on.

If they can't even complete this, they will be punished by the imperial court, and even if they are the head catchers, they will be hanged.

Even if it meets the requirements of the imperial court, it is not necessarily stable, there are still battles in the Hanging Mirror Division everywhere, in the past few years, the Hanging Mirror Division of Anrui City was the existence of the bottom, and today it is even more miserable, and even the Zhengyin Catcher has died.

It can be said that it is worse, and all kinds of disadvantages are added together, and their days are even more difficult today.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no dead people in the other Hanging Mirror Division branches.

Under this kind of world, there are a large number of casualties in the Hanging Mirror Division, but the results are contrasting.

Through Cen Yaqiu's explanation, Yao Qian also smiled slightly bitterly.

Originally, he thought that controlling the Hanging Mirror Division was still a good errand, but now it seems that it is also cooking oil with fire, and it may not be much better.

On the outside, it looks like a cluster of flowers, but inside it is a variety of swords and swords, contained in it.

"Hey, this year's year-end assessment is not good, we are only able to meet the minimum requirements of the imperial court now, if there are no outstanding results this year, even if Lord Fang is on top, there are a lot of people in the Hanging Mirror Division who want to replace me. ”

Cen Yaqiu complained as she walked.

Yao Qian understood that the resources controlled by the Hanging Mirror Division were too rich, and even he was stunned at the beginning.

This kind of benefits, the accumulation of resources, don't think about it, everyone wants to share the profits.

But there are only so many official positions, and those people must not step on their corpses if they want to be in power.

Yao Qian seemed to be able to feel the vultures hovering above his head at this time, and when you let your guard down, they would fly down and grab their heads.

The two chatted about the Hanging Mirror Division together, and they didn't feel too far on the road, and soon came to the outside of the Hanging Mirror Division's main hall.

Then the two parted, and each walked into his side hall.

Yao Qian had just walked into the side hall, and a group of people were already waiting, and when they saw him coming, there was a loud noise, and the assistant catcher who was standing led the other catchers to retreat to both sides and make way for a passage.

He went straight to the main seat, sat on it, pressed down the thoughts in his heart, and looked at the crowd in front of him.

"I've seen my lord!"

Seeing Yao Qian sitting upright, these people bent down and bowed their heads one after another, and said respectfully.

"Well, three days have passed, how are things going?"

In the past three days, he has been practicing the "Wood Burning Knife Method", and he has not asked about the case excessively, but he has not let go of this matter in his heart.

Especially what Cen Yaqiu said just now, he took this matter to heart.

Now, three days later, he hopes to hear a satisfactory outcome.

Wu Feng bore the brunt of it, brushed his green robe, and agreed.

"In the past few days, my subordinates have checked all over Anrui City, and they have also found several places about the word 'Qixia', but they have not heard anything about Assistant Chen. ”

"Oh, what about the Qixia Temple?"

Yao Qian frowned and continued to ask.

"Qixia Temple is also normal, but these days, the weather is getting colder, and there are many fewer traces of pilgrims, so it is difficult to get accurate news. ”

"In other words, no witnesses can be found, but what about the other places? Is there any clear evidence?"

Wu Feng's face was slightly stunned, but he still replied.

"After investigation, several other places can basically be ruled out. ”

Yao Qian listened to Wu Feng's words, his eyebrows turned, but he didn't continue to ask, but looked at Zhou Li.

Finding his gaze, Zhou Li took a step forward and bowed his head and said.

"Lord Qiqi, after these years of investigation by me and my brothers, we have basically found out the recent whereabouts of Assistant Manager Chen. ”

As he spoke, he took out a document from his arms, walked forward in small steps, and handed it to Yao Qian.

Yao Qian took the document, opened it, and quickly swept all the contents of the document into his eyes.

Placing the paperwork on the table, he groaned and entered into thought.

Before Chen Xin disappeared, he was really investigating a case, and it was still a missing case.

According to his traces in the Hanging Mirror Division, there are also many other quick inquiries, and Chen Xin's actions in the Hanging Mirror Division have been fully figured out.

The disappearance case is also mentioned in the document, and it is not insignificant.

Several of the victims are nothing, either the Qianshou people, or the underworld minions, it is nothing, but they also implicate the descendants of a Wang family in Anrui City.

"It seems that Assistant Chen is willing to investigate this case, and the Wang family has also paid a lot of benefits. ”

Of course, he would not believe Chen Xin's kindness, or ask for his life for the sake of fame.

You must know that some time ago, he had not yet taken office, and the original Shangguan had just died, it stands to reason that these assistant directors are also fighting openly and secretly, and even wavering, and it is too late to think about themselves, how can they still take care of other cases?

Besides, even if it is an investigation, Chen Xin is overstepping the rules.

According to the regulations of the Hanging Mirror Division, at the beginning of each month, there are tiger and leopard catchers who take charge of the overall situation and assign the backlog of cases to the four Zhengyin catchers.

All the cases fell on the four Zhengyin arrest heads, and then the investigation file.

However, Chen Xin's approach was to take the case directly without going through the procedure of Zhengyin to catch the head.

If there is no greasy in this, Yao Qian will not believe it.

The thought flashed in his heart, he looked at Zhou Li and continued to ask.

"Have you investigated these disappearances, and how did you get them?"

Now that Chen Xin's traces have been sorted out into documents, Zhou Li should investigate.

"Lord Qiyu, we have been to the Wang family's mansion yesterday to investigate this disappearance case, Wang Jinglun, the son of the Wang family, has been missing for seven days, no one is alive, no body is dead, even the original friend, I don't know where he went, as for the others, there is no gain. ”

"Oh, since you have checked this Wang family, isn't there the slightest clue?"

Yao Qian looked at this guy and was full of preparation, and he shouldn't be without gains.

Really.

Hearing him ask, Zhou Li said again.

However, I learned from Wang Jinglun's classmates and friends that it turned out that it was not Wang Jinglun who disappeared that day, but two people, and the other person was his classmate and friend, who was a scholar from Ouyue City, Lu Yuanwei, but this person was not from An Ruicheng, and no one noticed it after he disappeared. ”

"Oh, Wang Jinglun, Lu Yuanwei, did this Lu Yuanwei reveal any news?"

"The adult is wise, the villain went to investigate the inn where Lu Yuanwei stayed, and found from the testimony provided by the shopkeeper that on the day of Lu Yuanwei's disappearance, it seemed that he was preparing to go out with his classmates for an autumn outing, and told the shopkeeper that he would not come back at night. ”

Hearing this, Yao Qian's eyes also lit up slightly, and he looked at Wu Feng.

Wu Feng didn't know what he meant, he had also been in the Hanging Mirror Division for a long time, and his ability to investigate cases was not weak.

"Lord Qiyu, Qixia Temple is more than ten miles outside Anrui City, if the literati go on an autumn trip, it is very likely to stay in the temple. ”

"Well, the answer lies in this Qixia Temple!"
