The Great Martial Saint!

"Lao Zhong!"

Chen Pingan called out familiarly.

The man who came had a handsome face, a broad forehead and a calm expression. Who else could it be but Zhong Zeyu?

"Master Chen."

Zhong Zeyu also saw Chen Pingan at the first moment, and immediately quickened his pace and trotted over.

More than half a month ago, after Chen Ping'an came to the state pacification office to meet Ning Zhengyue, he met with Zhong Zeyu.

When they met again at this time, the two of them felt very familiar with each other.

"Sir Chen, what brings you here?" Zhong Zeyu smiled.

"Come here to take care of something."

Chen Pingan didn't say it directly, but Zhong Zeyu obviously reacted. He restrained the smile on his face and seemed much more stable.

"Lao Zhong, you look so anxious, what are you busy with?" Chen Pingan asked with a smile.

Chen Pingan was quite optimistic about Zhong Zeyu's personality and style. As a colleague in the Sanqi Mountain encirclement and suppression, Chen Pingan's attitude towards him was much better than that of other people.

Before this, he had thought of making Zhong Zeyu his confidant.

"Master Chen, you may not know that I have been busy with the affairs of the Inner City Fusi recently."

Zhong Zeyu spoke respectfully and exchanged a few words. During the conversation, he solved Chen Pingan's confusion.

Not long ago, the Canglongzhou Pacification Office once again brought up the old-fashioned concepts of standardization, compliance, and systematization.

What the superiors like, the subordinates must follow. After the tasks were assigned layer by layer, the provincial pacification office began its vigorous routine inspections, summarizing gains and losses, and reviewing and refining the work.

Zhong Zeyu was unlucky as he was in charge of the inspection work of the Inner City Pacification Office and had to make trips to the inner city from time to time.

According to common sense, he drew the Neicheng Town Pacification Office, which is close and convenient for patrolling, so he should be extremely lucky.

But the bad luck lies here. In Canglong Prefecture, there are many pacification offices in various counties and towns.

His Neicheng Town Fusi seemed close, but in fact it was better to go out.

Being sent out for patrol is not only an easy job, but there is also plenty of money to be made.

But the situation is quite different in the Neicheng Town Pacification Office. Located in the Canglongzhou City, many of the staff and relationship networks of the Neicheng Town Pacification Office are connected with the Canglongzhou Town Pacification Office.

If his inspection work is too heavy, and pressure from all sides comes, then he doesn't know how to behave. They are all in the same organization and network, so why would he offend people for no reason?

But if he writes lightly, it means he is not doing his job well. He can find a lot of problems in other places, but why is there no problem with him? Is the Neicheng Town Fusi doing such a good job?

It would be fine if nothing was found out later, but if something was accidentally discovered, it would mean that he was derelict in his duty and did not do his job well!
Not only is it difficult to strike the right balance between the severity of the investigation and the minor details of the case, there isn't much profit to be made.

First of all, we are all in the state capital, so people are not that afraid of you! It's not like going to the county, the pacification offices in various places treat you as a distinguished guest, not to say that they are obedient, but they are very considerate, for fear that if they cause you displeasure, a stroke of the pen will cause a big trouble.

Secondly, since they are all working in the same state capital, there are not so many interpretations of many policies and systems, and the overall understanding tends to be the same, so the space for maneuvering is greatly reduced. Without such space, how can he take the lead in inspections and make money?

three times
There are many reasons.

Overall, Lao Zhong is quite miserable.

Of course, his misery is within a certain degree. Generally speaking, he is definitely much better than the minions below.

But this is how people are. They don't worry about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. The colleagues around him have all gone to other places to make money, while he is suffering here. Who can stand this?

Chen Pingan listened to Zhong Zeyu's explanation, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Okay, Lao Zhong, think positively. This time we're at the Neicheng Town Pacification Office, next time we'll be at a local place."

"Thank you for your kind words, sir." Zhong Zeyu bowed his hands in gratitude and said, "I hope so."

Looking at Zhong Zeyu, Chen Pingan felt a sigh in his heart.

These different butts determine different heads and different expectations of pleasure.

The people below saw that the inspection team from higher authorities was coming and they were very awe-inspiring.

The above often only requires one sentence: they have to run around a lot, not only to prepare materials, but also to be prepared to be scolded at any time.

All parties worked wholeheartedly and cooperated with great trepidation, fearing even the slightest mistake.

The inspection by the higher-level agencies is authorized by the Fusi, and they have the power to “act first and report later”!
For those below, being able to pass this inspection safely was great news. But who would have thought that the people who came to inspect had all kinds of dissatisfaction and calculations in their hearts.

"I have heard that you have got married. I would like to congratulate you today."

As he spoke, Zhong Zeyu couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He lived off the grandmaster and married a noble daughter of the Gu family.

While living a comfortable life as a gigolo, you can also get married in a grand manner.

ability?

What is ability? Sir Chen, this is ability.

Lord Feng is really powerful.

But it is still impossible to get what you want, and even if you marry into the wife's family, you still can't get any favor.

Look at Lord Chen in front of him. He doesn't need to plan or work hard in Canglongzhou City. The overall situation is settled so easily.

In such a comparison, one cannot help but admire Mr. Chen’s “extraordinary qualities”.

What is a role model? Mr. Chen in front of us is a role model.

With the favor of a female grandmaster, Lord Chen's future prospects are simply invaluable.

Zhong Zeyu's eyes became more and more strange, full of envy, admiration, admiration and a hint of barely visible jealousy.

Seeing that Zhong Zeyu's eyes were getting more and more strange, Chen Pingan wondered if Old Zhong had started again.

After a brief greeting, he left.

"Goodbye, Lord Chen." Zhong Zeyu bowed and watched Chen Pingan leave.

Looking at Chen Ping'an's back, Zhong Zeyu secretly made up his mind that he would keep this secret for the rest of his life!

With this support, your future will be limitless!
Thinking of the stunning appearance of the Gu family's elder, Zhong Zeyu's eyes were filled with envy again.

Ahhh. I'm so envious!

Chen Pingan came to the Canglongzhou Zhenfu Division this time, but he did not see Ning Zhengyue, the master of the Five Thunders. As the deputy director of the Canglongzhou Zhenfu Division, Ning Zhengyue naturally did not have so much free time to do everything himself.

This time, Chen Pingan met the candidate for the director of the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office, Lu Yuanzai.

As a candidate for director in charge of important town affairs, Lu Yuanzai is also an extremely senior candidate among the many candidates for director of the provincial pacification office.

His cultivation had already entered the middle stage of Yuheng. According to outside rumors, Lu Yuanzai was a top master.

Without absolute strength to suppress it, Lu Yuanzai would not be able to take charge of the business of important towns.

Lu Yuanzai had considerable power and could dispatch the masters for offerings with just one decree.

Among the three important towns, except for the control of Long'an Town, the power to control the rest nominally belongs to Lu Yuanzai.

Long'an Town is located at the pass and has a special status. As the garrison commander of Long'an Town, Nie Yunlong can be regarded as a frontier official in Canglong Prefecture. His rank in the Zhenfu Division has reached the level of deputy director.

Theoretically, he could be on par with Ning Zhengyue, the master of the Five Thunders.

Chen Ping'an paid a visit to the man in charge of important town business, who was Chen Ping'an's direct superior in theory, did not act in a hostile manner and basically did not put on airs.

After Chen Ping'an explained the relevant matters, his request to stay in Canglongzhou City temporarily was quickly approved.

"If that's the case, then you should stay in Canglongzhou City first, and then go to Beicang after things are settled." Lu Yuanzai looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, whose energy was beginning to decline.

"Thank you, Lord Lu. I understand." Chen Pingan said in a calm voice and bowed.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect that the matter would be completely resolved after just a few explanations. No wonder everyone said that Lu Yuanzai could belong to the Gu family faction.

"However, while in Canglongzhou City, you still need to cooperate with relevant matters. If necessary, be ready to be dispatched at any time." Lu Yuanzai reminded.

"Thank you, Lord Lu, for your advice. I understand."

Chen Ping'an bowed and said a few words, then left Lu Yuanzai's public housing.

This Lv Yuanzai's spiritual platform is full of spiritual energy, and the actual situation is far from what it appears on the surface. He is not a middle-aged or elderly person who is about to decline, but a top master in his prime.

However, these don’t matter to Chen Pingan.

Be it a senior master or a top master, they are all the same in his eyes, the only difference is five or ten moves.

As for threats, that was out of the question. After the matter was settled, Chen Pingan was in a good mood as he could continue to stay in Canglongzhou City with a legitimate reason.

Not long after walking out of Lu Yuanzai's public housing, Chen Pingan met a handsome young man head-on.

"Lord Feng." Chen Pingan smiled and bowed.

This person was none other than the one who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect at Mount Sanqi, and whose sword was hidden in the sky and left no trace.

Feng Wuhen's face was pale, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded by an invisible haze. However, his eyes seemed to penetrate Chen Pingan, and he looked into the distance in a vacant manner.

Chen Pingan stepped forward to greet him, but received no response. Feng Wuhen walked over with an expressionless face.

It doesn't seem like a kind of indifference, but rather a kind of despair due to losing everything.

"What's wrong with him?" Chen Pingan thought to himself, remembering the scene when Feng Wuhen went to Gu's house not long ago: "Could it be that he was hit again?"

Everyone knew that Feng Wuhen was pursuing Gu Qingchan, but no one thought he was so persistent. Even though he was rejected several times, he still persevered, pursuing his unattainable love like a moth to a flame.

Looking at Feng Wuhen's appearance, he is handsome, elegant and graceful. With his level of status, I think he should have many little fans. Now that he has become like this, what is the point?

Chen Pingan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Could it be that the world of swordsmen is really like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, which can only thrust forward without any room for detours or turns?
How much unknown bitterness and helplessness are hidden behind the seemingly elegant and graceful sword intent?
"Sir Feng, long time no see!" Perhaps sensing Feng Wuhen's presence, Lu Yuanzai walked out of the public housing.

Although he had a vague sense of it, he was still shocked when he saw Feng Wuhen looking so dispirited.

"Master Feng, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Wuhen raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yuanzai, his gaze lingering on him for a moment. He did not answer his question, but nodded slightly as a greeting, and walked straight past Lu Yuanzai.

Lu Yuanzai stood there, brows furrowed, watching Feng Wuhen leave.

The affairs of the Canglongzhou Pacification Office have been handled properly. There is no need to rush back to the important city of Beicang immediately. You can stay in the city of Canglongzhou and wait for the trading meeting to begin.

Chen Ping'an was in a very relaxed mood.

When they returned to the courtyard, the little girl had not yet left the room, and Shaoyao was cultivating her qi and blood and practicing martial arts.

Chen Pingan didn't disturb her and went straight back to his room.

I just wasted a lot of time outside and delayed my practice. I must make up for it as soon as possible when I come back.

Speaking of wasting time, he thought of Gu Qingchan again.

He had previously been incompetent and had a lot of thoughts, and he suspected that it was the sequelae of the previous spiritual fusion. The spiritual entanglement affected his thoughts.

"You really hurt me!"

Chen Pingan said this in his heart, feeling quite helpless.

However, he was at a loss for the time being and could not find a solution to the matter, so he could only let it go for now. He wondered if this phenomenon could be improved as his martial arts realm improved and his spirituality became more abundant.

hum~
In the room, the Seven Absolutes dim light lit up, and Chen Pingan began to practice the Seven Absolutes magic.

In the next few days, the matter of Xue Kun's life and death continued to ferment in the Canglongzhou Pacification Office.

This incident had a bad impact. Under various factors and pressure from the Xue family, the Canglongzhou Pacification Office attached great importance to it.

In just three days, they selected key members to form a reconnaissance team, which rushed to the important town of Beicang for a detailed investigation.

Taking the impact of this matter into consideration, this investigation team is of extremely high standards and is led by a formal master. The rest of the members either have expertise in criminal investigation or are professionals who are good at tracking, unraveling and analyzing.

In addition, there was also a pseudo-grandmaster with powerful combat power accompanying him.

The strength of the entire team can be said to be extremely strong.

In addition, considering the potential strength of the murderer, this team also has the right to seek help from the important town of Long'an. At critical moments, they can request the power of Long'an and dispatch the master, senior master, and top master.

Even when things escalate to a certain level, they can submit reports through special channels and ask the Grand Master to come forward for help.

It is rumored that the establishment of this reconnaissance team was the result of a number of factions struggling with each other, with the intention of transferring core personnel into the team.

For the Pacification Division, it was to send a team to deal with the problem and find the murderer. But for each team member, it was a gilded journey.

In this matter, if there is any gain, every member of the team will make a contribution and can share a considerable amount of merit.

In addition, you can get extra points in various assessments, and with the added experience, you can definitely be considered for promotion.

With more people than places, naturally there was competition among all parties for places in the team.

If a faction wants to grow bigger and stronger and maintain its influence, it is necessary to cultivate its own people. It is the best way to achieve long-term stability by continuously increasing resources and interests and forming a virtuous cycle within the faction.

According to the previous situation, the establishment of a team like this would require at least a long period of negotiation among all parties.

However, with the pressure from the Xue family and the attention of the State Pacification Office, this matter saved a lot of time.

It is worth mentioning that the chief person in charge and general coordinator of this investigation team is an old acquaintance of Chen Pingan.

The new master of the Wang family, Wang Lingzhi, is a worshiper of the State Pacification Office.

I don’t know what price the Wang family paid to push him to this position.

With Wang Lingzhi's current situation, if he wanted to be promoted to the candidate for the position of the head of the State Pacification Division, his cultivation level was almost enough, but he still lacked a lot in terms of qualifications and achievements.

He is responsible for the overall coordination of this investigation team. If he can gain something, it will be a great achievement and qualification.

If the murderer behind the scenes can be caught, even if other forces are used in the process, it can greatly shorten the time it takes for him to be promoted to the candidate for the position of Chief.

When Wang Lingzhi set off, Chen Pingan went out to see him off.

The other party was there to investigate Xue Kunsheng's affairs. As the nominal head of Beicang, it was natural for him to go out and see them off.

As the prodigy of the previous generation of the Wang family, although Wang Lingzhi is a master, he is not too old compared to other masters.

This time he is in charge of an entire investigation team, with elite soldiers and experts under his command, and with special permission from the Fusi to be in charge of the investigation. Wang Lingzhi is naturally in high spirits and high spirits.

"Master Wang, take care on your journey, and may everything go well for you and your success be immediate!"

"Special Envoy Wang, I wish you a smooth journey, and may you return with honor and glory!"

"The king offers his services, and all hopes are high."

At the time of farewell, many colleagues from the Provincial Pacification Office bid farewell in unison, creating a warm atmosphere.

Chen Ping'an also stepped forward and exchanged a few words of greeting, basically wishing him a safe journey, victory over enemies, and everything goes well.

This time when they met again, although Wang Lingzhi responded loudly, there was a hint of joking in his words.

Frankly speaking, Lord Chen is very lucky. Not only has he become the son-in-law of the Gu family, but he also doesn't have to work hard and can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor in Canglongzhou City.

"Mr. Chen is very lucky, so there is no need for Mr. Wang to be envious." Chen Ping'an said slowly with a calm expression.

Wang Lingzhi exchanged a few pleasantries, mostly mocking and joking. However, due to the occasion, he didn't want to be too explicit, so as not to hurt his dignity.

As the team leader who went to Beicang for reconnaissance, he was the biggest winner in this game.

The winner must have the bearing and demeanor of a winner, so let’s not mention the little rough knife!
As a senior official of the State Pacification Office in charge of important town affairs, Lu Yuanzai was also present at such occasions. He held a glass of wine and bid farewell to Wang Lingzhi and the entire investigation team.

"Everyone, I hope you will be generous and fair, and when you return with your mission accomplished, you will bring peace to the four directions and be praised by the people. We will also prepare some wine to welcome you and hold a banquet to celebrate your success, so that we can celebrate this joy together!"

"Thank you, Lord Lu, and thank you all. I will live up to your expectations. I will be brave when I meet the enemy and overcome all difficulties!" Wang Lingzhi saluted with his fists clasped, his words were sonorous and powerful, and his brows were full of heroism.

Watching Wang Lingzhi and his team members go away, Chen Pingan felt that this scene was familiar.

When Cao Yingxiong died, the Wei River shook. I wonder if the same situation occurred when the Qiankun Division sent out the reconnaissance team.

Now that so much time has passed, I wonder if Qiankunsi has found the murderer behind the scene?

Chen Pingan smiled calmly, said goodbye to his colleagues, and returned to his own courtyard.

During these days, Chen Pingan has never left the house except for that farewell visit.

The communication with the little girl was normal. The rest of the time, Chen Pingan basically spent on practicing martial arts and refining magic weapons.

In a few days, Chen Pingan successfully refined another magical weapon, the blue scale soft armor.

Wearing the blue scale soft armor close to his body, Chen Ping'an's protective ability is even higher.

However, this kind of soft armor is often weaker in terms of protection among the divine weapons of the same level. However, it is flexible and light, and when he uses his full strength, it does not affect his body movements and combat power.

In addition to the magic weapon, Chen Pingan also regularly studied the monster carving every day, constantly trying to explore the mystery. After all these days, he still did not make a breakthrough.

In terms of the practice of the Seven Absolute Divine Art, Chen Ping'an has made quite good progress, and has accumulated nearly 600 points without realizing it. It is only a few days away from the Seven Absolute Divine Art entering the minor success realm.

In this situation, Chen Pingan finally waited for the trading meeting of Ruyibao Pavilion. (End of this chapter)
