I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 82: Disloyalty, dishonesty, hypocrisy, and deceitfulness are deeply hidden and pose a great threat!
The last day of August.

The four most famous constables of Jiujiang Criminal Investigation Department gathered at Zhenguan Dongshan, the blessed land of the Danyang School.

Zhao Xiongzhao looked at Gui Songzi with a mocking expression: "Daoist Gui Songzi, do you think we are three-year-old children? This is a perfectly good blessed land. It would have been fine if something had happened earlier or later, but it just happened after people exposed that your Danyang Sect was abducting people and placing them in the blessed land. Do you think we are particularly easy to fool?"

Gui Songzi felt bitter: "Officer Zhao, what the old Taoist priest said is all true!"

He pounded his chest and stamped his feet: "It must have been the underground society! On the very night Meng Lou was attacked, something happened at Fudi, and the internal passages were blocked. There was no one else but the underground society!"

Shen Tingwen surveyed the surroundings, his brow furrowed, and he said with great displeasure, "Gui Songzi! I advise you not to resist the court's investigation! If you are truly innocent, then quickly open the blessed land for us to see for ourselves! These petty tricks are nothing but a laughingstock!"

Gui Songzi protested, "I really didn't!"

He would swear on his life!

Seeing that he refused to admit it even in death, Fu Yijian's face turned cold: "Even your lies are inconsistent! There are no signs of a struggle here. Daoist, tell me, how exactly did the Underworld Society seize your blessed land? Could it be that they possess the art of invisibility?"

absurd!

Full of loopholes!

Do you really think that the Four Great Constables are as easy to fool as those corrupt officials who are only interested in money and collude with each other?
"..."

Gui Songzi remained silent, unable to defend himself.

He also wanted to know who had taken away the blessed land! Was it the underground society? How did they take it? What exactly happened that night when the incident occurred at the other end of the passage to the blessed land?
However, no one escaped from the blessed land.

After the incident, the Danyang Sect was never able to enter the blessed land again.

That end is blocked.

What can be done?

This is the situation.

"If the three constables don't believe me, there's nothing this old Taoist can do."

Gui Songzi lay flat and let the mockery continue.

He doesn't care about proving his innocence anymore. The blessed land is gone. Where will he get precious meat to offer to the masters in the Danyang Sect?
Should we go around looking for it?

Why should someone give it to you?
We're still at the mercy of others!
Finished!

It's all over!
The Danyang Sect's most pressing need now is to find another blessed land and occupy it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, without the intervention of underground organizations or government investigation, the Danyang Sect would have rapidly declined and even perished.

……

"Going back on your word!"

"Resisting investigation!"

"They dare not let us into the blessed land to investigate. What are they afraid of? They're guilty!"

"Disloyal and dishonest to the Great Yan, two-faced, outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, deceiving superiors and subordinates, playing double games, and causing a bad influence in the local area. Saying one thing and doing another, one way in public and another in private, one way to your face and another behind your back. I think this Tongtian faction is deeply hidden and very harmful!"

Far away at Iron Gall Mountain, Ke Qian and Sun Xian, two brilliant constables from the Six Doors, also ran into trouble with the Tongtian Sect.

Sun Xian was very displeased.

As soon as an investigation is mentioned, something goes wrong at Fudi?

Does it have to be this fake?

There are experts both inside and outside the blessed land. Moreover, the Tongtian Sect has occupied this blessed land for more than just one or two years. How come nothing happened for so many years before, but something happened to this blessed land only after they started the investigation?
The answer is laid out on the riddle itself.

Isn't the answer obvious?

Ke Qian, utterly loyal to the court, was also furious: "Violating the laws of the court, damaging its unity and cohesion, harming the interests of the court and the people, disintegrating its organization, eroding its credibility, and damaging its image—this isn't just the Tongtian Sect's doing; I think the two families and three factions of Shangyang Prefecture are all extremely harmful. Whether in the martial world or in business, everyone must strictly abide by the legal requirements, adhere to the provisions of the 'Great Yan Law,' and truly be loyal and honest to the court, open and honest, and consistent in word and deed. This is the most basic requirement!"

The martial arts world is also a good place.

Businesses too.

Everyone must work together towards a common goal, under the unified leadership of the Great Yan Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor.

Two surnames and three factions.

They clearly failed.

……

The Lü family, the Fu family, the Danyang faction, the Tongtian faction, and the Tieshen faction all displayed a hostile attitude, outwardly complying while inwardly resisting investigations by the Six Doors, the Criminal Investigation Department, the Jinwu faction, and other official or martial arts organizations, causing the situation to deteriorate rapidly and their reputations to be severely damaged.

Someone spread this story around, but no one knows who it was.

This time.

Even if it's not shit, it's still shit.

There's absolutely no way to explain it.

Not to mention that these two families and three factions were already tainted, and now that one place has caused trouble everywhere, it has become a good place for many government officials, famous constables, and martial arts heroes to flaunt their reputation.

This is an external threat, very deadly. Internal troubles are equally deadly—

……

"Lying would be better."

"It just couldn't be more real."

"Without the blessed land and the precious meat, what will the two families and three factions use to win over those experts? How will they smooth things over with all the connections?"

After accomplishing his task in Zuojing, he left without a trace, concealing his merits and fame.

After this battle.

He finally managed to remove the underground organization from the eye of the storm.

If he was under immense pressure before, now that the two families and three factions have been dragged into this mess, everyone is splitting the burden, and Zuo Jing is only under pressure to a fraction.

or even less.

Because the pressure he was previously put on him mainly came from the two families and three factions, and now they are too busy dealing with their own problems to handle them, which greatly reduces the pressure on the underground association.

"It's finally over."

This time, Zuo Jing used the opportunity of eliminating Meng Lou and upgrading Can Yu to achieve several predetermined goals, including "eliminating Meng Lou", "drawing out opponents from all sides", "publicizing the crimes of the two surnames and three factions", "seizing the blessed land of the two surnames and three factions", "making the two surnames and three factions suffer in silence", and "reducing the pressure on the underground society".

It's perfect!

Next.

It's time to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and focus on developing our own business.

blessed land.

Jiujiang.

Nine sides.

"Great chaos is about to break out, and I need to accumulate even more energy to deal with it calmly!"

……

August 30th.

"what happened?"

"Going to see my eldest sister with great joy?"

Why are you so downcast when you come back?

That afternoon, Zuo Jing saw Zuo Cheng return, limping and silent, unlike his usual cheerful self.

Zuo Chengqiang smiled and said, "It's nothing."

They went inside to rest after exchanging only a few words.

After he left.

Zuo Jing asked the two level-eight assassins who were protecting Zuo City, "What happened?"

The assassin replied, "Yang Bing, the son of the second son of the Yang family, called Yang Dabao a motherless bastard and insulted Fourth Master as a cripple, a down-and-out, and a beggar who comes to beg for food."

Zuo Jing frowned: "Wang Sanyi, tonight, pull out all his teeth one by one, break his legs, or better yet, break his arms and cripple his manhood."

Zuo Cheng is lame, so even if you want revenge, try not to target his leg.

"Yes!"

Wang Sanyi, an eighth-level assassin known as "Knife King," who was sweeping the courtyard, accepted the order.

Zuo Jing went inside to find Zuo Cheng: "If you don't want to be looked down upon, and don't get upset because of it, you must make your heart strong. And inner strength comes from your self-cultivation, wisdom, and ability."

He asked Zuo Cheng, "Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, swordsmanship, horsemanship, archery, and all the trades—whatever you want to learn, I have connections with you."

Zuo Cheng rubbed his lame leg: "Second brother, I want to study medicine."

Zuo Jing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll find you a good mentor in a few days."

Among the 34 newly recruited level-eight assassins, 'Wang Eryi' was skilled in 'medical arts', but he was assigned by Zuo Jing to Huangsha City.

Fortunately, he didn't die.

He is still alive.

'But there's no need to transfer him back.'

'Among this batch of level nine assassins, there are also those skilled in medicine.'
