The Great Martial Saint!

"This Wang Lingzhi is quite capable."

Wei Yiqi, the alternate director of the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office, had a gloomy face and was leaning comfortably on a big chair, listening to the reports from his subordinates.

Not long ago, Wang Lingzhi, who was investigating Xue Kunsheng's death in Beicang, sent back news that he had successfully eliminated two evil sects and one Wanmo Sect stronghold. In addition, he followed the clues and investigated carefully, and had already grasped a lot of clues. He already had some clues about Xue Kunsheng's death. He believed that he would be able to completely solve the case in the near future.

Xue Kun was born in an important town in Beicang and died unexpectedly, which caused extremely bad effects and made people panic.

Even the high-ranking giants in an important town died in such an unclear manner. How could the people under them feel at ease?

Under such circumstances, if Wang Lingzhi can really solve the case and find the murderer behind the scenes, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement.

With Wang Lingzhi's realm, he basically meets the requirements for promotion to the position of Chief Supervisor. What he really lacks is merit and experience. If he can get this merit, it will undoubtedly be much easier for the Wang family to arrange a promotion for him.

If everything goes well, I think after a while, the Canglongzhou Pacification Office will hold another promotion celebration.

As long as he is promoted to the candidate for the position of Director of the State Pacification Office, it means that he has truly entered the ranks of the giants of the Canglong State Pacification Office system.

Although he is not as majestic as the deputy director, he is definitely a top-notch powerful figure!
Even though they are both masters, they still have to show some respect to the candidate for the head of the provincial pacification office.

Wei Yiqi belongs to the Wang family camp in the State Pacification Office. Although his relationship with Wang Lingzhi is not necessarily very good, he is happy to see his camp's strength increase.

Wang Lingzhi, who went to the important town of Beicang, received news that it would be hard for Chen Pingan, the nominal deputy governor of Beicang, to not come to the State Pacification Office to show his concern.

Actually, he had been staying in Canglongzhou City these days on a vacation, but his monthly salary had not been deducted at all and was paid in full as normal.

Of course, at his level, the monthly salary is just a small part of the income, and the real benefits come from the first-hand profits.

For Chen Pingan, this is a relatively stable source of income.

Before he took office in Beicang, the gifts from various forces were also considered as the extra income brought by his position. In addition, there were some condolences during festivals, extra withdrawals and calculations, which were all counted as his income.

If Chen Pingan was just an ordinary Grandmaster, these profits would be considered generous. But for him at the level of Grandmaster, this kind of profit is undoubtedly not enough.

To be precise, it is quite different.

Although his reliance on external objects was limited, he still needed a large amount of Yuanjing whether it was to buy magic weapons or practice martial arts. And these Yuanjing, of course, could not be expected to be sold every now and then, and there needed to be regular and fixed returns.

"After all, it's still a little short of this level. If I can get promoted again, it would make up for it a little." Chen Pingan thought to himself.

His promotion speed was not actually slow. On the contrary, it could be said to be a rapid promotion.

But for Chen Ping'an's needs, no matter how fast it was, it could not keep up with his progress.

I wonder if this trip to Canglongzhou City can help him find a future.

When Chen Ping'an arrived at the Canglongzhou Pacification Office, he first went to look for Lu Yuanzai.

Lu Yuanzai was in charge of important town business and was his nominal superior. When Wang Lingzhi got the news back, he would naturally come to him first.

I don’t know if it was because of the good harvest from selling the monster egg, or because of the news from Wang Lingzhi that major progress had been made, but when he saw Chen Pingan this time, Lu Yuanzai didn’t have a stern face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Of course, according to Chen Ping'an's guess, it should be both.

Come to think of it, he was a little curious about what this major breakthrough that Wang Lingzhi mentioned was.

According to his previous conjecture, Xue Kunsheng should have died at the hands of the Seventh Elder. And the Seventh Elder died at his hands, so what would be Wang Lingzhi's breakthrough?
Could it be that he had guessed wrong before, and Xue Kunsheng’s death and the visit of old man Qi Jue were just a coincidence, and the real murderer was someone else?
In addition, Li Xiangjun was a stingray of the Tianluo Sect, nailed in the important town of Beicang and lurking beside him. He simply did not believe that the Tianluo Sect had no plans.

Could it be that Wang Lingzhi found that clue?

As the deputy commander of the important town of Beicang, Chen Pingan naturally has the right to inquire about the details of Xue Kun's life and death and the content of Wang Lingzhi's investigation.

Lu Yuanzai did not hide anything from him and directly told him the progress of Wang Lingzhi's investigation.

"Two evil sect strongholds, and one Ten Thousand Demon Sect stronghold?" Chen Ping'an's eyes were slightly stern: "Is there anything about the Ten Thousand Demon Sect involved?"

In a few months, the important city of Long'an will be preparing for the Long'an Event, which involves exchanges between the two states. Could it be that these evil demons are preparing to make some big move?

Chen Ping'an knew about the Tianluo Sect and was more sensitive to the news.

After exchanging the news, Lu Yuanzai and Chen Pingan didn't talk for long. He mainly asked him when he planned to go back and how long it would take.

During the previous communication, Lu Yuanzai also knew that he was in the state capital, mainly to cooperate with the Gu family's marriage promotion. So this time, he also asked him a few questions, which was considered to be caring for his subordinates.

Although Lu Yuanzai was asking questions, he was not actually very curious. He was more looking for a topic to express his closeness.

With Chen Ping'an's reputation, there are only a few legitimate daughters of similar age in the Gu family who can marry out. It's either Gu Minglan or Gu Shuxuan, anyway, it can't be Gu Qingcheng!
Strictly speaking, Lu Yuanzai was not a member of the Gu family's faction in the State Pacification Office, but he was very close to the Gu family and could be considered an assistant to the Gu family in the State Pacification Office.

"I think there will be clear news in a few days." Chen Pingan replied with a smile.

He didn't say much about the specific details. The Gu family hadn't said anything yet, but he was eager to say that Gu Qingcheng was going to marry him. This was inappropriate.

Since the Gu family is warming up in an orderly manner, he should also cooperate.

"Then wait and drink your wedding wine." Lu Yuanzai said with a smile.

"Lord Lu, it's still too early to get married." Chen Pingan also responded with a smile. Overall, the atmosphere was good.

The marriage of a noble lady from an aristocratic family involves many steps and is extremely complicated.

Just like when Chen Ping'an went to Gu's house and was witnessed by Gu Qingchan and signed the marriage certificate, according to the normal procedures, there were actually a lot of red tape.

In addition, taking the normal steps of an engagement as an example, there are the early stages of Nacai and Wenming, the middle stages of Naji and Nazheng, and the later stages of asking for the date and welcoming the bride, each step requires a lot of preparation.

Like a wild goose that represents loyalty, like a valuable betrothal gift, or like something else.
In these aspects, the Gu family also took Chen Ping'an's actual situation into consideration and made a lot of simplifications to promote the marriage more quickly.

Of course, if it is to be communicated to the outside world and involves the reputation of the Gu family, then the Gu family will naturally not lose face and will hold a grand ceremony.

However, it is too early to do so. According to the normal procedure, after the engagement is confirmed, the first thing to be held is the engagement banquet, and then the wedding. The time interval between the two processes varies, depending on the agreement between the two parties and the actual situation.

Of course, this kind of ceremony is mostly enjoyed by Taoist couples only, and is a special treatment for the first wife. The later marriage of wives and concubines will not have such high standards.

"Speaking of which, Ping'an, you are really lucky. This fairy of flowers, who is famous and renowned in Canglong, ended up being..." Lu Yuanzai teased with a smile.

He was talking about the romantic affair between Chen Ping'an and Fairy Yunmeng, which had been widely circulated in recent days.

With Lu Yuanzai's status, he would not treat such a romantic affair as a joke with a junior. What he really cared about was the game and reaction caused by this incident.

Common sense says that Misty Rain Boat is the property of the Xue family, so naturally Fairy Yunmeng also carries the mark of the Xue family. Chen Pingan and Fairy Yunmeng are in such a big fuss, but the Gu family didn't say anything at all?
Why is Chen Pingan so valued by the Gu family?

Similar thoughts flashed through Lu Yuanzai's mind many times, but he still kept a smile on his face, and the two of them were chatting happily.

Chen Ping'an was about to become the Gu family's son-in-law, and with his talent shown to the outside world, Lu Yuanzai was naturally happy to make friends with him.

The two chatted for a while, and when it was almost time, Chen Pingan said goodbye and left. Lu Yuanzai symbolically tried to persuade him to stay, but when he saw that Chen Pingan had already stood up, he said no more.

Lu Yuanzai watched Chen Pingan leave, and soon withdrew his gaze. He looked at the official business on the table, and thought of the news that had been widely circulated in the Grandmaster circle in the past few days.

A lot of things happened at the transaction a few days ago, including Gu Qingchan suppressing Chu Kuangxiong, the master of Liuhe Crazy Fist.

News like Gu Qingchan's practice of the supreme magic skills and the Xuannv Heart Method, and that Gu Qingchan possessed the top magic weapons were widely circulated in the circle.

But these news were not as explosive as the one that Gu Qingchan hugged someone closely but was rejected by the black-robed old monster.

Lu Yuanzai left early and did not witness the scene with his own eyes, so he was skeptical about the matter.

The news was so outrageous that it seemed fake.

However, there were many Grandmasters who witnessed this incident at the time, and they undoubtedly confirmed the authenticity of this incident.

In addition, it is said that when the old monster in black robe was making a transaction, he seemed to have insufficient Yuan Crystals, so he called Gu Qingchan to pay the bill.

This matter was also confirmed by several masters who attended the meeting.

It is said that at that time, Gu Qingchan was talking with two great masters. As soon as the news of the black-robed old monster came, he put aside the conversation between the great masters and ran directly to find the old monster. According to the onlookers, the old monster seemed to ask Gu Qingchan to pay Yuanjing to buy precious spiritual objects.

"What a blessing!"

Lu Yuanzai showed envy on his face and yearned for it in his heart.

As an elder of the Gu family, Gu Qingchan's status is valuable enough, far beyond the reach of ordinary grandmasters. Moreover, her talent and potential are enough to make her a top grandmaster!

That old monster was able to gain Gu Qingchan's favor, which saved him many years of detours!

The resources he had gathered with all his efforts and hard work might not be as valuable as a word from that old weirdo.

A secret message can make a great master put down his important tasks and willingly pay for it.

What kind of magic power does this old monster have that can make Gu Qingchan so desperate?

"Hey"

When this thought came to his mind, Lu Yuanzai couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Qingchan is extremely beautiful and dazzling, and is expected to take charge of the Gu family. Such a prominent figure cannot avoid embarking on the path of unrequited love.

The word "love" is truly mysterious and unpredictable.

Lu Yuanzai shook his head slightly, and suddenly he thought of Feng Wuhen.

By the way, this Yunyin swordsman has not come to the State Pacification Office for several days.

After leaving Lu Yuanzai's place, Chen Pingan went to find Zhong Zeyu. Before that, he wanted to ask about the rectification of the academic style of Canglong Academy. This matter was not a high priority for him, so he had never come here specially.

Now that there is a chance, he naturally won't miss it.

Zhong Zeyu's rank is not as high as Lu Yuanzai's, so his public housing is located a little further out, but not on the main road, so Chen Pingan didn't pass by it when he came here just now.

On the way to find Zhong Zeyu, Chen Pingan heard some discussions. Many of them were talking about Feng Wuhen, saying that they hadn't seen Master Feng for a long time and whether Master Feng had been sent out on a mission.

There were many discussions about this matter, but from what they said, it was clear that no one knew the specific reason. Some people speculated that it was because of the incident with Fairy Gu of the Ice Soul Needle that made Master Feng quite sad, so...
However, before he could finish his words, he was stopped by someone who told him to be careful about what he said in the State Pacification Office. From his tone, it was obvious that he was thinking of something sad. Later, someone added that Lord Feng should have recovered a few days ago and had come to the State Pacification Office, so it should not be this matter. Lord Feng was like this, I am afraid there is another reason.
Chen Pingan didn't pay attention to what was said next.

The people who were talking were not of low rank, and they were all the backbone of the state's pacification department. The communication between them was not because they were careless or did not do enough privacy work.

In fact, the sound of their conversation was extremely faint. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to hear the sound, let alone hear it clearly.

But Chen Ping'an was spiritually rich and had sharp senses, so he could hear it very clearly even if he just listened casually while passing by.

"Sir Chen, come, come, please come in." After many days, Zhong Zeyu was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Chen Pingan again.

"Lao Zhong, I'm here this time"

Chen Pingan chatted for a few words without much greeting. He went straight to the point and expressed his purpose.

"Master Chen, don't worry about this matter. Everything is progressing in an orderly manner. I was thinking of reporting to you in two days, when there are some interim results. But now, Master Chen, you just happened to be here, so I will briefly explain the situation."

Zhong Zeyu has been following up on the issue of the Canglong Academy's academic style rectification. As soon as Chen Pingan asked, he started to talk, obviously well prepared. "The issue of the academic style of the Canglong Academy is also taken very seriously by the Neicheng Town Fusi. Recently, a total of two unannounced visits and one inspection have been organized for the Canglong Academy. Many problems have been found during the inspections, and the more typical ones are... For these problems, the Neicheng Town Fusi has ordered the academy to make rectifications as soon as possible within the time limit. A few days ago, the academy also issued a corresponding written report, and made detailed explanations on the rectification measures and time limits."

"Regarding the phased rectification time arranged by the school, I have had a series of communications with the Neicheng Town Fusi, and I am preparing to conduct another systematic and comprehensive series of inspections to strictly prevent such phenomena from happening again. The inspection time currently communicated is three days later, and more in-depth and specific rectification results will also need to be tested at that time. In addition, regarding..."

"."

Zhong Zeyu said it was a simple report, but in fact he was very detailed, with corresponding examples to prove specific rectification measures. In addition, there was a detailed explanation of the time limit for rectification.

Although there was no specific written report yet, after Chen Pingan listened to it, it was extremely clear and he had a comprehensive grasp of the matter.

The academic discussion meeting organized by Canglong Academy was also part of the rectification measures, and a written report was issued to the Inner Town Fusi to assure them. The purpose was to establish a joint rectification mechanism for academic style and maintain the relationship between the academy and the family.

In addition, there is a package plan to rectify this matter and solve the problem fundamentally.

Regarding this matter, not only the school, but also the Neicheng Town Pacification Office attached great importance to it to ensure that it was steadily advanced within the deadline.

The source of all this was just a casual thought of Chen Pingan.

Sometimes, what makes the subordinates run around, complain, and work on their hands is often just an idea of ​​the big shots above. A trivial idea.

"Lao Zhong, you're reliable." Chen Pingan praised with a smile.

"I dare not forget Lord Chen's affairs." Zhong Zeyu said modestly with a smile.

In fact, although from the perspective of power, Chen Pingan entered Beicang and took charge of the overall situation, his status was much higher than Zhong Zeyu, who was in an office of the State Pacification Office.

But in terms of rank, Zhong Zeyu and Chen Pingan were at the same level, and there was no difference in rank. In addition, there was no superior-subordinate relationship between the two. Zhong Zeyu could have simply not given Chen Pingan face.

But after several conversations, Zhong Zeyu showed great respect for Chen Pingan. It was obvious that he was optimistic about his future and wanted to make friends with him.

Chen Pingan was quite optimistic about Zhong Zeyu, both as a person and as a capable person. There was no conflict of interest between the two of them, and Chen Pingan was happy that the other party was interested in making friends with him.

If there is a chance in the future, Chen Pingan doesn't mind helping Zhong Zeyu.

After finishing talking about the serious matters, Zhong Zeyu looked a little more relaxed, and he talked about the Fairy Yunmeng with an envious tone.

Fairy Yunmeng had won the title of Hundred Flowers Fairy for several consecutive terms. He was in Canglongzhou City, so he had naturally heard of her reputation. The Hundred Flowers Banquet a while ago had caused a lot of uproar and everyone knew about it.

The famous Fairy of Flowers was finally won over by the Rough Blade Chen Pingan. Once this was spread, who wouldn't be envious! ?
Zhong Zeyu was really envious.

But his envy did not stop there.

Some time ago, the unclear news that Fairy Gu, the Ice Soul Needle, and the old monster in black robe had a secret meeting under the moon became the most hotly discussed news in Canglongzhou City.

He knew too well the relationship between Fairy Gu and Chen Ping'an.

After such news came out, one can imagine how big a blow it was to Chen Pingan.

At that time, he knew the inside story and comforted Chen Pingan.

Tell him not to worry about it, some things are over and done with.

Even if things don't pass for a while, don't worry too much. Just live your life peacefully.

Besides, rumors stop at the wise. Just because a piece of news spreads widely doesn't mean it is true. Lord Chen, there is no need to worry about it. These words are very comforting.

But I never thought that it would not be long before Lord Chen caused such a big fuss.

He slept with the famous Yunmeng Fairy directly!

The whole state knew about it.

As soon as he lost his gigolo, he slept with a handsome man.

Moreover, it happened at a time when the Gu family was about to announce the marriage news.

Sir Chen, support!

Zhong Zeyu felt respect from the bottom of his heart.

Speaking
Zhong Zeyu looked at Chen Pingan in front of him and hesitated for a moment.

"Is this Lord Chen's revenge? Revenge for Fairy Gu, the Ice Soul Divine Needle."

Fairy Gu and the old monster in black robe had a secret meeting under the moon, which caused such a big commotion. The romantic affair between Chen Pingan and Fairy Yunmeng also became known to everyone.

He couldn't help but think that this was Chen Ping'an's deliberate revenge against Gu Qingchan.

Chen Ping'an made such a big fuss, I'm afraid he is targeting Gu Qingchan, the Ice Soul Divine Needle!

If you can be ambiguous with other men, then of course I can also be affectionate with other women.

If so, this matter.
There is also the Gu family's marriage, I'm afraid it is also true.
Zhong Zeyu's eyelids twitched and he dared not think about it any further.

The water here is very deep!

Seeing that Chen Pingan had no intention of chatting more, Zhong Zeyu's mood changed and his thoughts ran wild.

No wonder, I thought!

Chen Ping'an's attitude of not wanting to talk more at this time also confirmed his guess.

"Sure enough!"

Zhong Zeyu understood it all. Seeing Chen Pingan like this, he didn't continue chatting with him, but deliberately changed the topic and talked about other things.

How could he bear to expose Mr. Chen's scars?

Outsiders thought that Lord Chen had finally won the beauty and was in high spirits, but only Lao Zhong understood Lord Chen's helplessness and disappointment.

"This old Zhong Guli is weird."

Coming out of the State Pacification Office, Chen Pingan felt that Zhong Zeyu's words and deeds were a little strange. It was normal at the beginning, but it was a little bit wrong later. Although it was not particularly obvious, as the other party in the communication, Chen Pingan still felt it very keenly.

"Last time he was talking nonsense, this time he's getting weird." Chen Pingan thought to himself, "Did Lao Zhong run into trouble?"

He had a good impression of Zhong Zeyu, and he was really helping him wholeheartedly. If Zhong Zeyu really encountered any problems, he wouldn't mind helping him.

His current power is even more terrifying than others can imagine.

Speaking
Chen Pingan thought of something.

After the conversation with Zhong Zeyu, the other party mentioned Wei Yiqi, the candidate for the director of the Provincial Pacification Office.

Today, I have learned a lesson from Wei Yiqi's words that he was disrespectful to his elders and acted recklessly. Afterwards, it caused quite a stir in the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office.

The reckless Chen Ping'an has no respect for his elders and becomes enemies with Wei Yiqi, the deputy chief.

Many offices and messengers in the State Pacification Division had heard about this incident, including many high-ranking officials and candidates for the position of Director of the State Pacification Division, who had also heard such rumors.

This incident brought a lot of negative impact to Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan had previously killed the Canglong envoy Qi Guangshan, and many people had a bad impression of him. And now Wei Yiqi's words of disrespecting elders have exacerbated the impression of him, and it has become completely negative.

Fortunately, Chen Ping'an is valued by the Gu family and has the overt and covert support of people in the Gu family faction, so although the impression is negative, there are no blind people who jump out to create momentum.

At most, they would discuss it secretly in private, and even open discussion and criticism would rarely occur.

They had all worked in the provincial pacification office, and the people below them were more or less cautious, fearing that they might get into trouble.

but now
But the situation has changed.

It is well known that the Gu family is interested in marrying Chen Pingan.

Not long ago, the Gu family had been warming up and hyping up the marriage, which had thoroughly confirmed the matter. Obviously, in a short while, the news that Chen Ping'an was about to become the Gu family's son-in-law would be officially announced and become a done deal.

But at this juncture, the love affair of Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade, was reported. This incident was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Gu family, making them lose face.

Under such circumstances, let’s not talk about the attitude of the Gu family for now, but the attitude of the members of the Gu family faction towards Chen Pingan can be imagined.

It is inevitable that you will be evaluated as lustful and ungrateful.

Under these factors, although the forces that had previously protected Chen Pingan overtly or covertly would not turn around and teach him a lesson, there was no doubt that some things had changed from resistance to welcome.

The impact caused by the previous Wei Yiqi incident has begun to explode in recent times.

The discussions and criticisms that were originally held in private gradually became public, and Zhong Zeyu heard it more than once.

Zhong Zeyu mentioned this matter, so he told Chen Pingan to be careful and not to act impulsively if he heard similar words. If he really got angry because of this, it would be really troublesome.

The forces that protected him before may not show up at this time.

For many people in the State Pacification Office, if Chen Pingan really gave them a chance in this matter, they would settle all the new and old grudges together.

"By then, even if Master Chen's life is not in danger, he will inevitably be questioned and severely punished. If this is the case, Master will not only lose face, but also damage his foundation, and his bright future will be ruined."

Zhong Zeyu advised earnestly.

In short, no matter what sound Chen Pingan heard, he must not act impulsively. If he took action, he would be playing into those people's hands.

Without the support of the Gu family faction, Chen Ping'an would only end up being severely punished. Under the severe punishment, the high wall of power that Chen Ping'an had built for so long would completely collapse.

After a failure, many wait-and-see emotions will gradually rise. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. This is an eternal truth.

In short, the solution is to take it step by step and plan for the long term.

As long as the marriage between Chen Pingan and the Gu family is not affected, no matter how difficult this matter is or how big the impact is, it will eventually be resolved satisfactorily.

Chen Pingan didn't expect that such a small episode would have such aftereffects.

However, Chen Pingan did take note of Zhong Zeyu's reminder.

Whether inside or outside the State Pacification Office, he certainly would not act impulsively when hearing some bad remarks or adverse influences.

They are just chess pieces that have been pushed out. It would be ridiculous for him to care about them.

But letting this matter develop and have an impact is not his style.

The trouble should end it!
"Wei Yiqi."

Chen Ping'an's eyes were deep, like an ancient well, without any ripples.

The tyrant sword is just formed, and can be used to strike down enemies.
Are there any dead souls? (End of this chapter)
