Becoming a god starts with one certificate becoming eternal.

Chapter 567 Three Warehouses on the Same Line, Array Room Verification

The underground stone chamber was not large.

Rough chisel marks remain on the wall, and a small array plate sits in the center.

The main formation has stopped; only a few remaining patterns are still flickering.

The path passed through the wall and disappeared underground.

Ye Xiao stopped outside the formation, only watching, not touching.

My gaze followed the array patterns downwards.

Inhale.

Beam.

Turning pulse.

The three-layered array is very simple, but the ends all go underground.

This formation is drawing upon the energy of the earth. At the end of the turning vein pattern, there is an extra, unnecessary inverted curve.

Ye Xiao stared at it for a couple more moments.

This stroke neither enhances the formation's effectiveness nor alters its path; it's more like a habit left by the formation setter when closing the formation.

The battle has stopped.

Amidst the clear sensation, a faint wisp of residual energy still slowly seeped out from the bottom of the array plate.

Ye Xiao shifted his gaze from the array plate:

"Is this formation listed in the warehouse register?"

The warehouse manager shook his head:

"no."

"After the number six was deactivated, no formations were reported underground."

Ye Xiao asked again:

"The old branch has already been sealed off, why is anyone still accepting it?" the manager asked.

"When the old branch is discontinued, its residual energy will not dissipate immediately."

"By receiving them privately, we can bypass official channels and obtain them."

Ye Xiao asked:

"The remaining energy of the abandoned branches also falls under the jurisdiction of the Great Yin?"

"certainly."

The manager's face turned somewhat pale:

"As long as it's still on the map of the royal city, it belongs to the Great Yin."

"The old branches have been discontinued, and it's not something anyone can just take."

"If you want to use it, you must report it."

He glanced at the array plate:

"There are no records for number six." Ye Xiao's gaze returned to the formation:

"What's the point of this formation using this energy?"

The steward shook his head:

"I don't recognize this one."

"We need to have the battle formation inspect it."

Ye Xiao looked at the clerk in charge of the case:

"remember."

"Without registration, illegally accessing underground gas."

"The specific purpose will be determined after further inspection in the array room."

"Yes."

The clerk in charge of the case picked up his pen and put it down.

Ye Xiao withdrew his gaze: "Leave the formation to the formation room."

"Find goods."

Several empty medicine bottles and gray wooden boxes with scratch marks were piled up in the four corners of the stone chamber.

On one of the corners of the box, half of an old seal remains.

Lin Yuan Prefecture City Medicine Pavilion Main Branch.

The clerk in charge of the case tensed up, immediately unfolded the sealing paper, and scraped a bit of dark red powder from the bottom of the box:

"Suspected blood drug residue."

"Take it back to our office for examination."

Ye Xiao's gaze swept from the old box to the empty medicine bottles.

There is a private formation hidden in the underground of No. 6.

The old chests from the Earth Medicine Pavilion are also here.

The blood medicine did arrive. But the stock is gone.

Ye Xiao turned around:

"Ask someone."

……

Tao Huai was pressed alone against the wall.

When he saw Ye Xiao return, his Adam's apple bobbed.

It can't be hidden by a wall.

Even the breathing-blocking talisman couldn't hide it.

Now even the underground secret doors have been discovered.

The ruthlessness in his eyes was still there.

More than anything, there was surprise and doubt.

Ye Xiao stopped in front of him: "Who told you to guard number six?"

"have no idea."

"Who gave you the money?"

Tao Huai's lips moved slightly:

"Receive money according to the ticket."

"No one is here."

"Where's the medicine?"

"It's all been moved out."

"Who will collect it?"

"They were all wearing masks."

Tao Huai spoke much faster:

"One or two at a time, sometimes three." "Someone will deliver a death notice before you arrive."

"My job is just to open the door."

"I really don't know anything else."

Ye Xiao asked:

"Where do I put the dead letter?"

"The location will change."

"Old well in the warehouse area".

"The back alley of Shiyi Street".

"The paper only states which day the store will open."

Ye Xiao turned to the clerk in charge of cases:

"The scorched tent."

Half of the account book was handed over. A corner was burned.

The remaining information includes the date, cargo record, warehouse number, and a few settlement transactions.

Ye Xiao flipped the page backward.

six.

Nine.

Thirteen.

The three warehouse numbers appeared repeatedly.

Several large settlements were followed by the same word.

mysterious.

There is only this one word.

No trace of his identity could be found before or after.

Ye Xiao said, "I'll remember this."

"Don't recognize people."

"clear."

The clerk in charge of the case then laid out rubbings of the six contracts from Wan Yao Lou to the side.

He first made the last three strokes:

"These three dates for sealing the vehicle match the dates in account number six perfectly."

This has been confirmed.

He flipped forward again:

"The first three orders were self-pickup, and no delivery address was left."

"But in the past few days, there have been similar shipments on the 9th and 13th."

"These few fragments of the serial number can also be matched with the last part of the serial number that was blocked in the internal treasury."

The clerk in charge of the case raised his head: "The first three entries most likely also went through these two places."

Ye Xiao glanced at it twice:

"First, remember the connections."

"Do not write 'fall into the warehouse'."

The clerk in charge of the case immediately stopped it:

"clear."

Ye Xiao said:

"Warehouse area map"

The catalog was quickly unfolded.

Number six.

Number nine.

Number 13. The three warehouse numbers are located in different positions.

They are not adjacent to each other.

But Ye Xiao's gaze shifted to the next image.

Three warehouses.

They were all pressed down by the same old, abandoned branch.

Half a book of burning embers.

Three warehouse numbers.

Another private formation has just been discovered below number six.

Ye Xiao looked up:

"What's the current status of Number Nine and Number Thirteen?"

The warehouse manager replied:

"Number nine is also out of service." He moved his finger to the side:

"Number 13 is still in use."

"The register lists miscellaneous materials for turnover."

Ye Xiao looked at the picture:

"Keep an eye on the periphery first."

"Don't touch numbers nine and thirteen."

"Make a note of who is coming and going, but don't stop them yet."

The warehouse manager immediately understood:

"I told the outside to continue as usual."

"Yes."

Ye Xiao then looked at one of the guards:

"Return to the fourth location." "Send two teams of men, and ask another person from the battle formation."

His finger landed on number thirteen:

"This one is still in use."

"Once everyone arrives, check it first."

"yes!"

Si Wei turned and left.

The venue will be closed starting on the 6th.

Tao Huai is a single rhyme.

The charred tent, medicine samples, and old boxes were kept separately as evidence.

The underground array will remain on site, with the original array itself untouched.

In less than half an hour.

The fourth reinforcement arrived. A battle sergeant also accompanied them.

Ye Xiao pushed the warehouse map forward:

"Team Nine One".

"Number 13 is with me."

"An anomaly was detected on the 9th; the site is now sealed off."

"If you encounter a formation, do not change the original formation."

"clear."

……

Warehouse No. 13 is still in use.

The warehouse door was open.

Several bundles of old timber, recently unloaded, were piled up outside the door, the marks left by the hemp ropes still fresh.

Dusk was beginning to fall over the warehouse area. In the distance, rows of warehouse eaves cast long shadows.

By all accounts, this place looks like a normal warehouse for miscellaneous materials.

Ye Xiao walked to the front of the warehouse.

He suddenly stopped walking.

A refreshing feeling spreads out.

Below the brick floor.

A pulse was rising up, one beat at a time.

It's much clearer than number six.

The formation here is still in operation.

The staff member in charge of the array, who was following behind, also glanced around.

The base of the wall is clean.

The burst of light and the leaking patterns had vanished. He was still searching.

Ye Xiao had already raised his hand:

"Seal off the back alley."

The officer in charge of the battle formation's eyes flickered.

The guards have dispersed.

next moment.

A voice suddenly came from inside the warehouse:

"Walk!"

The flames then ignited.

The officer in charge of the battle formation changed his expression.

There's definitely a problem.

Ye Xiao stepped into the warehouse. There were two people inside.

One of them was stuffing account books into a brazier.

Another person was crouching in the corner, his broken-line knife already stuck to a line that had just been picked out from a crack in the brickwork.

Ye Xiao glanced at it only once:

"Don't move."

The person has arrived.

The person who burned the tent turned and rushed towards the back window.

boom!

The window had just been smashed open.

The guards stationed in the back alley swung their swords at him, sending him crashing back into the warehouse.

The man in the corner also brought down his broken knife at that moment.

Half a foot short. Ye Xiao placed a palm on his shoulder.

boom!

The man and the knife crashed back to the ground together.

"Sealing the Gang".

The two were quickly bound by wrist cords.

Not a single one left.

The officer in charge of the battle formation quickly followed in, his first glance falling on the line that had been drawn out.

Then he looked up at Ye Xiao.

He was just outside the warehouse.

I didn't notice anything.

Ye Xiao, however, sealed off the back alley first.

He was about to speak when Ye Xiao walked towards the east pillar.

"Ambush."

The clerk in charge of the case didn't even ask any questions this time, and simply waved his hand:

"Pry it open here."

The newly arrived guards nearby were taken aback for a moment:

"here?"

The brick surface has been turned over.

Sure enough, there was another hidden panel below.

Si Wei stopped mid-sentence.

The clerk in charge of the battlements looked at the hidden entrance and finally asked:

"Vice Envoy Ye."

"You noticed it while you were outside?" Ye Xiao asked.

"There is a pulse underground."

The clerk in charge of the battle formation glanced at him.

This time, I didn't ask again.

They followed directly down into the hidden passage.

……

The array inside the stone chamber was still spinning.

The patterns alternate between light and dark.

The fine ash around the array plate was also trembling slightly with the airflow.

The clerk's expression turned solemn:

"Active Formation".

He squatted down: "Seal it first."

Four sealing nails fell in succession.

The light gradually dimmed.

Ye Xiao stood to the side.

His gaze swept over the array patterns.

Inhale.

Beam.

Turning pulse.

Then it stops at the last closing line.

That reverse cut.

appeared again.

Just like number six. The extra stroke is exactly the same.

Ye Xiao's gaze lingered for only a moment.

The array operators have begun testing the array.

Three pulse-testing needles were dropped.

After a while.

The needle tip was simultaneously deflected to the west side of the ground.

The clerk in charge of the battle room said:

"It was that old, abandoned branch."

The clerk in charge of the case immediately unfolded the rubbing of the sixth array pattern:

"Let's compare this next."

The officer in charge of the battle formation looked around one by one.

Qi-guiding pattern. Turning point.

ending.

The fingers finally stopped on that reverse hook.

His brow twitched:

"This stroke of the pen..."

The clerk in charge of the case said:

"Number six is ​​also available."

He tapped the rubbing:

"Vice Envoy Ye was the first to pick it out."

The officer in charge of the battle formation raised his head.

The formation at number six has stopped.

The remaining patterns were badly scattered. The one in front of him was still in operation, and only after careful examination could he see this extra closing pattern.

Ye Xiao remembered Number Six at first glance.

The officer in charge of the battle formation bowed his head again.

This time I looked at it in even greater detail.

A moment later, he pressed the two rubbings together:

"Same style."

The clerk in charge of the case asked:

"To what extent can the price be set?"

"The same tactics."

The clerk in charge of the battle room said:

"Even some unnecessary habits are the same."

"You can write the same battle formation and the same technique." "What about the same person?"

"no."

The clerk in charge of the battle formation shook his head:

"Insufficient evidence."

Only then did the clerk in charge of the case begin to write.

When the officer in charge of the battle formation looked up again, his gaze toward Ye Xiao had changed.

Previously, it was merely a polite gesture towards the new deputy envoy.

Now I'm more serious.

Ye Xiao asked:

"Both of these formations borrowed energy from the same source?"

"right."

The clerk pointed to the pulse-testing needle: "What we can determine at the moment is that it's the same old, discarded branch."

"it is good."

Ye Xiao said:

"The document only goes this far."

"Yes."

This sound was much crisper than when we first met.

The voice just fell.

The team from number nine also returned:

"Vice Envoy Ye."

Number nine is empty.

"But there's also a dark room down there."

"The formation has stopped." "A few medicine bottles remain."

"The array pattern rubbings are back."

A new map is laid out.

The officer in charge of the battle room took it.

I only glanced at it a few times.

The finger then stopped at the end of the swirling vein.

It was that same reverse slam.

He paused for a moment:

"The third one."

The three rubbings of the array pattern were put together.

Number six.

Number nine. Number thirteen.

Three darkrooms.

Three privately set up array plates.

The same tactics.

The gas extraction also all occurred on the same section of the old, abandoned branch.

And in the half-book of the scorched tent number six.

What happens repeatedly is exactly what—

six.

Nine.

Thirteen.

Not a single one was missed.

The clerk in charge of the case looked at the three rubbings and suddenly remembered two words from warehouse number six: "Come out."

Here.

At the time, none of them knew why Ye Xiao was so certain.

just now.

The third formation diagram is already in front of us.

The clerk in charge of the case slowly exhaled:

"Vice Envoy Ye."

"This line has already passed through three warehouses."

……

Southeast Business District.

Dusk had already fallen over the rooftops.

Lights illuminated each floor of the main building of the Wan Yao Lou (Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion). A manager quickly entered the meditation room:

"OP."

"Something has happened in the southwest."

The original poster is still going through the accounts:

"Is it under lockdown on the 6th?"

"It's sealed off."

"Let them investigate."

The person in charge remained standing in the same spot.

"Tao Huai has also been arrested."

The hand that was turning the page stopped.

The original poster looked up:

"Didn't hide it?" "The breath-blocking talisman wasn't broken."

The person in charge lowered their voice:

"Tao Huai also suppressed his blood and qi."

The original poster finally put the account pages down:

"How were you exposed?"

"After Ye Xiao entered the warehouse, he only took a few steps."

The steward paused for a moment:

Then he said to the wall between the two walls, "Come out."

The quiet room fell silent.

The head of the inner treasury was also present.

How was that partition wall in number six constructed?

He knew perfectly well what the purpose of the two layers of breathing-isolating talismans was.

Even if a person stands outside the wooden frame, all they will see is a dead wall.

Ye Xiao directly pointed out Tao Huai.

The steward continued:

"Tao Huai pulled the rope to destroy the evidence."

"Only a corner of the tent was burned."

"They didn't escape either."

The casualness on the poster's face faded.

"besides."

The steward said:

"A hidden room was discovered beneath number six."

The original poster frowned: "A darkroom?"

"right."

"There is a privately set up array inside."

"The half-ledger of number six led to numbers nine and thirteen."

The original poster has completely abandoned the account pages:

"All three were hit?"

"They touched them all."

The steward said:

"Number 13 is the most direct."

"Before Ye Xiao even entered the warehouse, he had the back alley sealed off."

"They didn't let anyone search us after we went inside."

"He directly pointed out the hidden entrance." The poster stared at him:

"Straight to the point?"

"right."

"There's one below number nine as well."

The quiet room fell silent for a moment.

The original poster mentioned this in the morning.

Ye Xiao had just arrived in the royal city.

They weren't even familiar with the old roads in the southwest warehouse area.

We arrived at the scene.

The people in the warehouse area did not find Tao Huai.

The people in the array room stood outside number thirteen, but they couldn't touch the array underground.

But Ye Xiao found it first. The steward continued:

"The battle chamber has already been tested."

The original poster looked up:

"They've even admitted to using the battle chambers?"

"I admit it."

"The three formations are of the same style."

The person in charge spoke even softer:

"Moreover, the gas extraction all occurs on the same old, abandoned branch."

The poster's hand stopped at the edge of the account page.

After a long pause, he finally asked:

"Has the conclusion from the analysis room already been submitted?"

"It's already over." The poster closed his eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the composure she had shown earlier was gone.

"Three private formations."

"The same section of scrap."

"The training room has also officially recognized the same style..."

He tapped his fingertip lightly on the table:

"This case will most likely not be handled as a regular case tomorrow."

The head of the internal treasury lowered his voice:

"The Major Cases Hall?"

The original poster remained silent for a moment:

"At least it involves the pulse."

The head of the inner treasury's expression immediately changed. Blood medicine was a forbidden drug, involving human lives and criminal cases.

However, privately connecting with the pulse is another level altogether.

That was done underground in the royal city, bypassing the imperial court, and targeting the things belonging to the Great Yin Dynasty itself.

If this line continues forward, the Town City Division will inevitably have to go back and review all the procedures that were handled.

The original poster finally stood up:

"Starting now."

"Don't touch anyone in the southwest."

"Don't send a single person over."

He looked at the head of the inner treasury:

"Report who handled what in the building, according to the records."

"It's already been verified, don't be foolish enough to deny it."

"But what happened after the 6th?" "Without evidence, no one should utter a single word on behalf of others."

The head of the inner treasury's expression turned solemn:

"clear."

The original poster added:

"The old deed houses, the inner treasury, and the people who handled them all remain as usual."

"Who would dare to move at this time?"

"It's like telling the town's commander himself—there's still something to dig up here."

The quiet room fell silent.

The poster walked to the window.

It was already dark outside.

The lights of the main building were reflected on the window paper.

In the morning. He still thought Ye Xiao could only find out up to the sixth.

In less than half a day.

Tao Huai was exposed.

The charred tent wasn't completely burned.

The dark room was opened.

Number 9 and Number 13 were exposed together.

Even the Lianzhenfang (a type of warehouse) officially recognized the three warehouses as being of the same type.

This is no longer just about speed in the investigation.

That was the place he originally thought would break.

Ye Xiao forcefully broke through it.

The original poster stood for a moment before slowly speaking:

"This newly appointed deputy envoy is more troublesome than I expected."
