A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 84 Taiyi Order

Xie Daohan is already 48 years old this year. He has served three county magistrates. The fact that he has been able to maintain his position as the head of the criminal police shows that he has some skills.

He was originally a registered disciple of Taiyi Sect, but he failed to be promoted to an outer disciple and was sent back to his hometown.

Later, through hard training, he broke through the first level of the Qi realm. A few years later, he became the chief constable of Xiangu County, a position he held for more than ten years.

Over the past decade, countless people have died tragically at his hands...

"Mr. Luan, a wanted criminal has escaped from the county dungeon! I have closed the city gates and issued a strict citywide search! You are blocking my way here and not letting my people in! I think you have something to hide? Are you an accomplice of the fugitive?"

Luan Jingfu snorted coldly, and glanced at Jie Daohan's face with anger in his eyes, and said, "I'm sorry that I don't understand what Captain Jie said! When did I say that you can't come in? However, the search requires a warrant for arrest."

"My Yuanshun Escort Agency is not owned by your family! You can come in whenever you want without going out, Mr. Wen!"

In fact, Xie Daohan has quite some influence in the county, and Luan Jingfu does not want to offend him.

But Ruan Fengshan was not there, so he let this group of people in. Although they were constables from the county government, some of them were not clean. The antiques in Ruan Fengshan's backyard were worth a lot of money.

If one item was broken or one or two items were missing, they would come back and ask the person why. They would say that he, the chief, was useless and didn't even have an arrest warrant, so they would let them go into the backyard and rummage around.

Luan Jingfu was so afraid of Ruan Fengshan because there was a relationship between them that was far more secretive than that between superiors and subordinates, so Luan Jingfu knew Ruan Fengshan very well!

Ruan Fengshan had actually already broken through the True Qi Realm, but he had always created an illusion that he was limited by his talent and was trapped in the Inner Breath Realm. This showed how deep his mind was! How could Luan Jingfu not be afraid?
"It's not that I don't want to give you Wen Gong. It's that the county lord went to Yuanyang Prefecture on official business a few days ago, and he is not in Xiangu County now! I will give you the official document later!" Xie Daohan said anxiously.

Luan Jingfu said: "Without Lord Wen, no one can enter my Yuanshun Escort Agency."

"Luan Jingfu, you did this to me on purpose, didn't you?" Xie Daohan became furious when he heard this, and with a "whoosh" he pulled out his knife!

The blades equipped by the yamen constables are of the unified style in Qingzhou, called barrier swords.

The handle is slightly long and can be held with one hand or two hands. The blade is narrow and long, the back of the blade is slightly thick, and the blade is sharp on one side!
"What, you want to fight?" Luan Jingfu raised his foot and kicked lightly, then held the four-sided steel mace in front of him horizontally, but he didn't really want to fight with Jie Daohan, so he put on a defensive posture and asked in a deep voice: "Excuse me, Captain Jie, you want to break into my Yuanshun Escort Agency without official documents, is this proper?"

Xie Daohan was stunned by Luan Jingfu's question, and then he said, "It's okay, Mr. Luan! We'll meet again sooner or later, do you really want to make things difficult for your brother?"

"Captain Jie, my boss is not here. If you want to obey my orders, you have to find him!"

"you……"

The muscles on Xie Daohan's face twitched. He knew that he was not in the right this time. Yuanshun Escort Agency was also one of the major forces in Xiangu County. The taxes it paid to Taiyi Gate every year were second only to Huayinglou and the herbal medicine shop.

Once a fight breaks out, investigation later reveals that it was him who instigated the uprising!
In fact, he was originally the chief constable in charge of criminal law in a county, and he also had the authority to issue documents and arrest criminals at sea.

But since Shen Yanliu took office, he has returned this power to the county government. This is equivalent to sidelining his position as the chief constable in major cases and only allowing him to catch bandits and petty criminals.

But when Shen Yanliu went to the capital on official business, a major case of a wanted criminal escaping from prison occurred, which immediately put him, the chief of the criminal police, in a dilemma.

It is his great responsibility to let the criminal escape from prison!

If we can catch him in time, we can make up for our mistake. If we delay, we will miss the best opportunity to search for him!

However, as a criminal police chief, he did not have the power to issue arrest warrants. He wanted to search and arrest in time, but ran into obstacles everywhere!
Fan Yuanhai suddenly walked out from behind a stone lion beside the door of Yuanshun Escort Agency, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luan is worthy of being the head of Yuanshun Escort Agency..."

Although this person was dressed in ordinary clothes, he walked slowly and had a faint smile on his face. As soon as he came out, Luan Jingfu noticed him, but he was unfamiliar and did not seem to be from Xiangu County. Fan Yuanhai walked and talked, and when he came in front of Luan Jingfu, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "...It is indeed a good dog!"

"presumptuous!"

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. When Luan Jingfu saw a stranger humiliating him in public, he became furious. He shook the steel mace in his hand and pointed it at the stranger's face.

Fan Yuanhai, however, remained motionless. He clenched his right hand into a palm and slashed diagonally at the steel mace that was pointing towards his face!

As soon as the handover occurred, Luan Jingfu's knuckles were cracked and blood gushed out. The steel mace in his hand flew backwards and stabbed into the top of the stone lion's head on the left. The stone top was cracked and half of the stone lion's head was blown off!
"The second level of the True Qi Realm!"

Luan Jingfu was shocked. He had already reached the first level of True Qi Realm. To be able to shatter his weapon during their fight, the other party must have achieved the second level of True Qi Realm!

I didn’t expect that this person, who is not that old, has such accomplishments!
"Xiangu County, when did this person come?"

Fan Yuanhai looked at Luan Jingfu expressionlessly, and suddenly took out a token.

The token was all black, and no one knew what metal it was made of. It was only the size of a palm, and was wedge-shaped with a pointed bottom. In the center of the token were two characters in relief, the words Tai Yi!

"Taiyi Order!"

Luan Jingfu couldn't help but take two steps back and saluted Fan Yuanhai.

"Mr. Luan, I wonder if this order is considered an official document?"

"Of course I do!" Luan Jingfu's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he said, "I was reckless and just offended the Imperial Envoy. I hope you can forgive me!"

Fan Yuanhai is an outer disciple of Taiyi Sect.

But although they are both outer disciples, his status is higher than Shen Yanliu.

Because Shen Yanliu was an outer disciple sent out, while he was an outer disciple within the sect.

When the outer disciples of the sect go out on official business, they hold the Taiyi Order in their hands and become imperial envoys, with the power to make decisions on the spot and decide life and death!

The reason why Luan Jingfu was afraid was that even if Fan Yuanhai had executed him on the spot for obstructing the investigation, it was still within the law!

"Since Mr. Luan has already spoken! Captain Jie, why are you still standing here?" Fan Yuanhai turned his head to glance at Jie Daohan beside him, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Xie Daohan clasped his fists and saluted to Fan Yuanhai, then said to the constables behind him, "Brothers, follow me in to search! The rest of you, the front yard! The rest of you, the back yard, the middle yard!"

After Xie Daohan gave the order, the detectives pushed aside the escorts at the door and rushed in!

Luan Jingfu immediately turned around and ordered Luan Bao beside him: "Take a few people to the backyard and accompany the search!"

What Luan Jingfu meant by accompanying the search was to keep an eye on the things. Luan Bao understood and immediately took a few bodyguards and rushed to the backyard!

When Duan Rong saw the detectives rushing in, he immediately thought that this search would inevitably involve looting and smashing things. He was immediately worried that the detectives might cause trouble at the mourning hall, so he immediately slipped out of the crowd and quickly hurried to Xiao Zongting's courtyard in the middle yard.
