Chapter 186 Major Cases Gathering

Chapter 186 Major Cases Gathering
Three days later.

Li Mo and his group of twenty-two people, dressed in inspector's bird uniforms, came to the Tianming Division in Anbei County.

Among the six counties of Anbei Commandery, Bai'an City is the fastest to reach because of the construction of the Flying Boat Post Station.

The gate of the Tianming Division in the county town is much more lavish than that of Bai'an County. On weekdays, it is the office of the centurions, responsible for handling many matters of the six counties of Anbei County.

After confirming the identities of Li Mo and others, one of the inspectors who were on guard duty in front of the gate led the small flags and inspectors into the backyard to rest, while the other led two general flags and went straight to the reception hall.

After a while.

Three people strode towards them from a distance.

Upon seeing this, Li Mo and Ma Xuanji immediately stood up and bowed.

"Li Mo, the General Flag of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County, greets the Thousand Household Master, the Palace Guard Master, and the Hundred Household Master!"

"Ma Xuanji, Deputy Chief of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County, pays homage to the Thousand Household Master, the Palace Guard Master, and the Hundred Household Master!"

These three people were Bai Jingjing, deputy chief of the Special Service Hall, and Jiang Feiyan, a centurion and special guard of Muzhou Prefecture.

There is no need to say much about Bai Jingjing and Jiang Feiyan. It was the first time that Li Mo saw the so-called palace guard. He was a middle-aged man with an elegant face, a beautiful beard on his chin, and eyes full of wisdom and philosophy. He seemed to be a man who was well-read in poetry and books.

In the Muzhou official rank system, the Fumingwei was of the fifth rank, and the Qianhu was of the fifth rank.

Although both are Jindan stage cultivators, Qianhu is generally held by cultivators from local sects, and is the highest official position held by local sects in the Tianming Department, while Fumingwei is appointed to the local area by the court, and is the lowest official position directly under the court's jurisdiction over the Tianming Department.

After Bai Jingjing, the palace guards, and Jiang Feiyan sat down in turn, Bai Jingjing looked at Li Mo and Ma Xuanji with a smile.

"You two don't have to be polite, please take a seat."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Mo and Ma Xuanji sat upright.

The two of them didn't know what the emergency meeting was about or what kind of dangers it would involve, so they naturally had to listen carefully.

"This is Liu Wenzhao, the Prefecture Guard from the Tianming Division who is assisting with this case. Sir Liu."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo and Ma Xuanji bowed and saluted.

"This humble official greets Lord Liu!"

Liu Wenzhao stroked his beautiful beard and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite.

"No need to be so polite, both of you. I've heard of General Li's name several times in Anle City. He will surely have a bright future."

At this time, Bai Jingjing couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

"In that case, please, Lord Liu, speak well of the pacification envoy in the future, so that he can achieve great things in the court and serve the country."

Liu Wenzhao smiled lightly.

"It's natural."

After some greetings, Captain Bai Jingjing looked at Li Mo and Ma Xuanji.

"I called you here because something happened in Xiaoyue County. Captain Jiang, please introduce them."

"Yes."

Jiang Feiyan stood up and took out the documents she had brought with her.

"Five years ago, after the White Moon Organization in Bai'an County was dismantled, the prefect took it extremely seriously and began a comprehensive investigation of all prefectures. During their investigation, General Jiang Qingwen discovered that Xiaoyue County was being haunted by a primitive sect from the Southern Frontier region."

"The land of southern Xinjiang?"

Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Anbei County originally had two large counties, namely Bai'an County and Xiaoyue County, both of which had general flags stationed there.

Later, because of the Baiyue Organization case, Beikou County, where Liu Biao was located, was promoted to a large county because it was close to the Great Northern Wilderness area. In addition to the original deputy general flag stationed there, a general flag was added.

As for the southern border area.

He had just been there with Lu Qi five years ago.

Although I only wandered around the marginal area near Muzhou at that time, I was able to get a preliminary understanding of the social culture there. I didn't expect that under the operation of the appeasement envoy, the primitive sect there still dared to cause trouble within the borders of Daqian.

Could it be because of what happened five years ago?
This is not impossible.

"Later, after an investigation by Commander Jiang Qingwen, she discovered that these disappearances began five years ago. Initially, only a small number of people were deceived by the Cangyuan Land God Temple and went there to work, earning high wages. However, once there, they were enslaved by the temple staff. They took some people who had brought their families with them and left them as hostages, then returned to their hometowns to defraud others..."

Li Mo and Ma Xuanji showed expressions of indignation as they listened to Jiang Feiyan's description.

"How dare those barbarians treat the people of Daqian like this? Their crimes are unforgivable!"

After Li Mo's angry scolding, he quickly calmed down.

"Since this incident is outside the borders of Daqian and involves the southern border, why not report it to the court and have the military intervene to rescue the detained civilians?"

"It's not that simple."

Liu Wenzhao spoke, stroked his beautiful beard, and seeing that Li Mo and Ma Xuanji were looking at him, he began to explain in detail.

"Although the imperial court and the State of Lu are currently at a truce, the fighting between the two sides has not ceased. Both sides are adopting a conciliatory policy, trying their best to win over surrounding forces to join their camp. Therefore, it is not appropriate for the military to intervene. We, the inspectors of the Ministry of Mandates, must resolve the issue. Otherwise, it is likely to affect the imperial court's national policy."

Having said that, he snorted coldly.

"However, the military is already aware of this matter and will cooperate with our actions at the border. If there is any unrest in the southern border, we won't care about it. At worst, the next war with Lu will be fought in this southern border! The governor, the pacification envoy, the instructor, and several generals in the military have all made their stance clear. Every citizen of Daqian is the cornerstone of the court's legal principles. This matter concerns the dignity of the nation."

"Yes." Li Mo and Ma Xuanji were deeply encouraged and responded yes.

After a while.

As the meeting ended, Bai Jingjing, Liu Wenzhao and Ma Xuanji left. Li Mo followed Jiang Feiyan to her office, and only then did the two of them relax.

"Junior brother, let me introduce you."

Following Jiang Feiyan's call, an old man with white hair and beard and a tall and strong monk came out of the office.

When Li Mo cracked the case of the Canglong Organization, he had met these two generals in Quhe Town.

It’s just that they were following Duan Shu at the time.

"This is General Zhou Bailie. His Red-Eyed Flame Lion is very famous among the Foundation Establishment cultivators in our sect. I remember you seem to know Ding Wei from the Advanced Training Hall. They are close friends."

"Hahahaha!"

After hearing this, Zhou Bailie couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

Li Mo looked surprised.

"When I was in the Enlightenment Hall, it was Fellow Daoist Ding who was in charge of my enlightenment and instruction. Later, Fellow Daoist Ding repeatedly sent people to suggest that I join the Justice Society. Unfortunately, I failed to understand Fellow Daoist Ding Wei's deeper meaning at the time, and later sold Fellow Daoist Ding Wei a pair of ghost-faced insect mothers..."

The events of ten years ago are like a passing cloud.

Zhou Bailie was shocked when he heard this.

"You sold him that pair of ghost-faced insect mothers?"

"Exactly. Any questions?"

Zhou Bailie was stunned for a moment, and then the old man with white hair and white beard slapped his thigh with an expression of surprise.

"He has no use for that pair of ghost-faced insect mothers. They were actually given to me, haha!"

After a brief pause, the two of them burst into laughter.

What a coincidence.

Seeing this, Jiang Feiyan couldn't help but smile in surprise, and then introduced another person.

"This is General Xing Yong. His pair of flying hammers are the nightmare of all offensive magic weapons. In addition, he has also made considerable achievements in body refining techniques. Therefore, he is well-known among the foundation-building cultivators in the sect."

Li Mo noticed Jiang Feiyan's meaningful look.

"Mr. Xing, nice to meet you!"

"Ah."

Xing Yong's reaction was very cold.

His feelings towards Li Mo seemed quite complicated, and coupled with Jiang Feiyan's hint about body refining techniques, Li Mo figured it out almost instantly.

This person probably has a good relationship with Liu Biao, but he is not involved in the cases of the Baiyue Organization.

three days later.

Liu Yin, deputy chief flag of Sihe County, Lv Sheng, deputy chief flag of Datong County, Song Yuan, deputy chief flag of Zunhua County, Zhang Yi, chief flag of Beikou County, and Jiang Qingwen, chief flag of Xiaoyue County and deputy chief flag Dai An, the protagonist of this case, all rushed to the scene with their capable flag officers.

The fact that the Anbei County Tianming Division gathered such a huge force at once shows how much importance it attaches to it.

Among them, Li Mo, Liu Yin and Lu Sheng had fought against members of the Canglong Organization in the Eighteen Mountains of Bai'an County in the early years, and had gained considerable gains and established good relationships. When they met again this time, the three of them naturally asked about each other's well-being and had a small gathering in private.

After the meeting, the three of them went to a small pub on the street and sat down on the street.

Liu Yin is eight feet tall and handsome. He holds a folding fan and looks elegant.

He first looked at Lu Sheng.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I haven't seen you for a few years. I wonder if you've made any new puppets?"

Lu Sheng had prominent features, a square appearance, was less than seven feet tall, and had an arrogant and complacent demeanor.

As a disciple of the Lu family, he entered the art of puppetry. Once he had enough resources, he would naturally invest in this area.

"That mission was quite rewarding, and afterward I received a 10,000 taels of silver reward from the court. Add to that the reward for contribution to the sect, and I'm well-off now. Naturally, I'll have to refine a new set of puppets. Haha, if I do this this time, I'm sure to surprise you!"

"Haha, then I'll be looking forward to it."

Then Liu Yin looked at Li Mo with a smile again.

"General Banner, Li, you're a big name among us now. The case of the demon boss in Bai'an County five years ago was a sensation throughout Anbei County. To be honest, your promotion to General Banner is well-deserved, and I really can't envy you at all. If you make further progress, you'll have the opportunity to ascend to the Qingling Hall of your sect, and your status will undergo a complete transformation. Tsk tsk..."

Li Mo smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, why are you being so modest? I'm sure you've made a lot of progress over the years, right?"

"Hey, it's natural."

Liu Yin had an expression full of confidence.

"To be honest with you, I have indeed gained a lot in the past few years. If this major case goes smoothly, it will be fine. But if we encounter resistance, I will definitely show my strength!"

The three of them had a great conversation and agreed that if any accidents occurred during the next mission, they would support each other and help each other.
