The huge Xunji began to become chaotic because the Shuling Office was struck by lightning. The members of the Blade Saber were flying all over the sky, hunting down the sinful spirits who escaped from the Shuling Office during the chaos.
Every street was filled with the sound of fighting, and those who escaped were brought back after only a few seconds of fresh air.
Such a large-scale escape was the first time in the history of Shulingchu.
Under such circumstances, Sunda's management was naturally relaxed a lot.
Mu Qian and Chi Si planned to return to the Yun family after meeting Yun Zaichun. She still needed to seek confirmation from the old man about relevant matters.
Walking out of the street closest to Shu Ling, the two of them were just near the exit when someone fell from the air.
It was impartial and just blocked their way.
Looking at the person in front of her, Mu Qian chuckled.
"Are you going to catch up with me?"
Qiu Yuerong stared at the person in front of her. Now half of her face was exposed under the brim of her hat. Although it didn't look like that, she was 100% sure of the identity of the person in front of her.
This person is Hong Zhi, that’s right.
"Follow me back to Shu Ling's place," Qiu Yuerong said.
Mu Qian looked at her serious look and took a step forward, "Why should I go back with you?"
"Now you are the most wanted criminal in Shuling Department. If you don't hide around, you happened to be at the scene when you were struck by lightning in Shuling Department. I have to suspect that this matter has something to do with you." Qiu Yuerong said very calmly.
Express your doubts.
It would be fine if she didn't see Hong Gardenia, but she did. If she said it had nothing to do with her, how could Qiu Yuerong believe it?
"Your suspicion is not unreasonable, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that what happened today has nothing to do with me and was not done by me." Mu Qian said.
Qiu Yuerong had no intention of moving away, "Even if today's matter has nothing to do with you, you still need to go to Shu Ling's office to explain the matters regarding the Pure Demon Tower."
After hearing her words, Mu Qian laughed out loud, "Team Qiu, let me ask you, did anyone see me taking away the Demon Pure Tower with their own eyes?"
Qiu Yuerong did not answer. There were indeed no witnesses. Even outside Mingyang Mausoleum, she could not see Hong Zhi taking away the Pure Demon Pagoda.
"Second, is the Demon Purification Tower something from the Shuling Department? Did I break into the Shuling Department and snatch it away?"
When Mu Qian mentioned this, he thought it was ridiculous. It was because the people at Shu Ling Chu didn't have the ability to enter the Mingyang Tomb themselves, but in the end they wanted to steal things from others.
They are just a group of so-called robbers who do evil things in the name of justice.
Qiu Yuerong lowered her head and sorted out her chaotic thoughts. She was able to memorize all the laws and regulations in the Soul-binding Department. No matter what the sinful spirit said, she could use the laws to suppress them without hesitation.
But this time, she couldn't refute.
"The Shuling Department protects the stability of Nanzhou. The Demon Purification Tower has the ability to destroy the world. It is the responsibility of the Shuling Department to eliminate hidden dangers for the entire Nanzhou."
The righteousness of these words, especially when spoken from Qiu Yuerong's usually expressionless face, is really very easy to believe.
"You said this yourself, do you believe it?" Mu Qian stared at her.
I have dealt with Qiu Yuerong several times. This person, who always has a cold face in the eyes of outsiders, is always fair and never shows mercy.
But she is not a pure machine, she only works without thinking.
She has seen everything that happened in the past few days, even more so when she is inside the Shuling Office, and the information she can hear is clearer than what is outside.
Some things can naturally be seen more clearly.
"No matter what, you can't leave today." Qiu Yuerong said, taking out the long whip wrapped around his waist.
Mu Qian glanced at Chi Si and silently took a step back.
Chi Si lowered his head and looked at her movements, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"She and I have a relationship over tea, and I don't like to fight with acquaintances," Mu Qian explained.
She has a legitimate reason, so it is most appropriate to go to the hospital late at this time.
"You are quite reasonable."
Qiu Yuerong had already rushed over with a long whip in hand. The man chuckled at Mu Qian and gently raised one hand.
…
When Yan Ji came after hearing the news, what he saw was a man sleeping next to the stone monument with his eyes closed.
The team members looked around vigilantly. There was no trace of any spirit beings. There was no smell in the air, making it impossible for spirit beings who were good at tracking to find out.
Yan Ji channeled his spiritual power and took a step back when he saw the person waking up.
"I heard someone said that you got into a fight with two spiritual beings here, but they were defeated and knocked down." Yan Ji looked at her.
There wasn't a single scratch on his body, he seemed to have just been knocked unconscious.
"Is she here?" Yan Ji spoke first.
There is only one person who has the ability to knock Qiu Yuerong down without hurting her.
"What's going on over there in the building?" Qiu Yuerong rubbed her head and stood up. She almost fell down when her body tilted due to dizziness.
Yan Ji subconsciously reached out to give him a hand, "Director Qin has held an emergency meeting. We still have ten minutes."
Hearing this, Qiu Yuerong chuckled, and even Director Qin was alarmed. It was really lively.
"Let's go."
Seeing her like this, Yan Ji reminded, "Now that Hong Zhi is the most wanted criminal, Director Qin will definitely make demands against her. You..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Qiu Yuerong could guess it.
"I will follow the rules of the Shuling Department, so you don't have to worry."
Yan Ji followed her to Shulingchu Building. Looking at her cold side face, he suppressed what was in his heart.
In the meeting room of Shuling Office, Shuling Office has only held two meetings this year. Today is the second time they have met Director Qin.
The people from the Pursuit Department and the Investigation Department have also arrived. The two chief ministers took their seats on the left and right sides of Director Qin, and the rest of the subordinates lined up along the two sides.
Qiu Yuerong and Yan Ji were sitting below Chu Zhou, and the faces of the police officers across from them were more or less stained with black dirt that had not been wiped clean.
The people who entered the door were full of momentum. They stood above and glanced at the people sitting there. The originally not good atmosphere became even lower.
"The Shuling Department gathers the talents of the entire Nanzhou. It is known as the most difficult place to break into. It was broken into once within three months. The formation was broken and became a joke across the continent. Today is even better. It was directly beaten by thunder.
Damn it? I'm really interested in hearing how the two ministers want to explain it to me."
Qin Hui said and sat down above the two of them, while the people below looked at each other.
Director Qin is not too old, not even as old as Director Lin, and is a whole round younger than Director Lin. However, he is very capable and capable, and at the age of fifty, he has taken the current position of Director of the Shu Ling Division.
He always respected these two seniors during every meeting, and no matter what mistakes he made, he would never get angry with them in front of his subordinates.
But this time Qin Hui's attitude already showed his current mood.
"Why, you can't give me a reasonable explanation?" He stared at the person below.
Minister Lin glanced at Xiao Yi opposite him and decisively admitted his mistake, "What happened this time was that the people in the pursuit department didn't notice it in advance. I, the pursuit department, are willing to take responsibility."
Xiao Yi stared at his nemesis and said, "The Police Department is responsible for the security of the entire building. Although this lightning strike was unpredictable, we cannot avoid the damage caused and we are willing to take responsibility."
Director Qin almost laughed angrily when he heard what the two said. However, there were many things to do in the whole building, and he didn't want to get entangled in these minutiae.
"The Inspectorate failed to prevent the attack in time, and the formation was broken twice within three months. All team members had their salaries deducted for one year, and all benefits were withheld. The Pursuit Department lost the guilty souls, and it has not yet been able to clear the net.
The demon tower is recovered, and all team members will have their salaries deducted for two years. If Hong Garden is not caught within a month, all team members will be punished with twenty lashes."
After hearing this, Minister Lin's expression was really bad. Such unequal punishment showed partiality.
"The two ministers stay, everyone goes out." Director Qin said coldly.
There were only two people left in the huge conference room, and the two ministers looked at each other. Compared to Minister Lin, Minister Xiao's expression was better here.
"Brother Lin, you should give me an explanation today." Director Qin stared at the people below.
Director Lin sat up straight with his back straight, "What does Director Qin want me to say?"
They are all people who have been through strong winds and waves. They have never seen any kind of situation, and have never been exposed to any kind of rain. They have lived for half of their lives, and they are all people who have stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.
Qin Hui pushed the document in front of Minister Lin, "I respect you as seniors. No matter how hard you fight over the years, I can turn a blind eye. But what I hate most is those who have different intentions."
people."
If he can't be loyal wholeheartedly, he doesn't need such people under his command.
After reading all the documents with a calm expression, Minister Lin's face darkened.
"I know you have a lot of experience in personal training, but I didn't expect that he has reached the point where he can freely enter and exit the chasing department. Could it be that Minister Lin has forgotten who you belong to and who you should take orders from."
Minister Lin leaned back in his chair with a relaxed posture, "I don't know who is so boring and stares at me all day long to pursue things like department statistics. The Yinjue Institute and the Shuling Department cooperate. This is something that the entire Nanzhou knows.
, every year at the beginning of the semester, we will contact the college and get the list of students with excellent grades and good foundation to observe for later use. The reason why I got closer to Dean Fu is because of work. Is there any problem?"
The person opposite sneered and said unceremoniously, "Minister Lin is really good at quibbling. Who doesn't know that Dean Fu has been in and out of the department frequently recently, and the Yun family is also making a fuss, let alone Qin Chu.
Sir, even I have received a lot of complaints, can you provide a reasonable explanation for this issue?"
Minister Lin looked at the person above him and said very seriously, "Everything I did was to recover the Pure Demon Tower. Yun Zaichun is indeed related to Hong Zhi. Give me some more time and I will definitely bring him back."
.”
Minister Xiao raised his hand to interrupt him, "Since we have been involved for so many days with no results, it is better to release the person early. Today there was an unprovoked lightning strike, and we don't know what it will be next time."
"Xiao Yi, it was your people's poor guarding that allowed those who were interested to take advantage of it. Do you want to put all the responsibility on the chasing department now?"
"Otherwise, can you explain clearly whether you and Fu Yunliu really colluded with each other to do things that harmed the Soul Shuling Department?" Minister Xiao said coldly.
Director Qin slapped his hand on the table, and his gentle and gentle sound stopped the two of them from moving.
"I only give you one week. If you can't catch Hong Zhi and get to the Pure Demon Tower, you will all get down from this position!"
After Director Qin said this, he opened the door and walked out. The remaining two and a half old men glared at each other and neither of them spoke.
The secretary waiting at the door came forward and saw that his face was not very good.
"When will the people sent out get news?"
The secretary hurriedly replied, "Three days at the latest."
Director Qin stopped, with a grim look on his face, "Send someone to retrieve the files of all members and send them to my office, especially those of all the members of the Pursuing Department. Those who want to start from the Shuling Department will be sent."
The secretary followed behind him and hurriedly issued instructions. This time, the entire Shuling Department was afraid that things would really change.
The message that Director Qin received was not entirely a trap.
Minister Lin really has different intentions. Over the years, he has placed many of his own people at Shu Ling Office, and has been quietly encroaching on it step by step.
In the conference room, the two people who were left behind looked at each other, but after a moment, the smell of gunpowder in their eyes came out.
"The top priority of the police department now is to repair the damaged formations, sort out the damage in the building, and provide comfort to the outside world. Arresting people has always been a matter for our police department. You are stretching your hand too far.
.Minister Lin looked at the person opposite and snorted.
Director Xiao had no intention of arguing with him, so he stood up and walked out the door, "The director has agreed to the procuratorate's involvement in this case. Let's each rely on our own abilities. Let's catch the person first and then go wild."
Minister Lin stared at his back and watched coldly as the man disappeared into the conference room.
The subordinate who walked in from outside the door hurriedly approached, "Minister, what should we do if the director really doubts us?"
Director Qin is not a suspicious person by nature, but if someone really shows him the way, something might not be right.
Qin Hui has been able to sit in this position for so many years, but he is not a loser.
"What can he doubt about me? Selling away the spiritual office? Lining his own pockets?" Minister Lin sneered.
"But many of the things we do are to avoid Director Qin." The subordinate reminded.
By bypassing his superiors in doing things, the minister directly bypassed Director Qin on many matters and acted directly without getting the approval slip.
This is truly an overstep.
"Qin Hui knows better than anyone else that I, Lin Renqi, have never obeyed him. I allowed him to take this position. Otherwise, how could he have taken it?"
The subordinates shut up after hearing such words.
"The top priority is to catch Xiao Yi before he does." Minister Lin said and walked out of the conference room, "Let Chu Zhou and Qiu Yuerong come to the office to find me."
No matter what, the things must not fall into Xiao Yi's hands.
