Chapter Thirty-ninth: Immortals Division handles the case, irrelevant people avoid retreat
Rong Fei realized something and returned to the door of the document room and knocked on the table filled with books. The middle-aged scholar raised his head and stared at Rong Fei impatiently.
"Who else was here just now?"
Rong Fei asked.
"General arrest."
The scholar replied angrily and continued to copy.
really!
Rong Fei secretly thought in his heart.
No wonder he just said that he wanted to find the case in Dunzhou ten years ago. The scholar directly reported the exact location without thinking. It turned out that Yu Qingzhi got there first.
But, what did Yu Qingzhi do with the case of the Dunzhou disaster?
Rong Fei hurriedly left the document room with a murmur in his heart, and when he came to the courtyard, he saw the thirteen police officers standing in a row as before, their eyes flickering, hesitating as if they had something to say.
However, Rong Fei was only concerned about the case about the Dunzhou disaster that Yu Qingzhi had taken away at this time, and had no time to pay attention to them. He asked Yu Qingzhi which room he worked in, then turned around and rushed into the two-story building facing south.
The door to the innermost room on the second floor was open. Rong Fei walked to the door and looked in. He saw Yu Qingzhi sitting behind the table, looking through the cases with great interest.
"explain."
Rong Fei walked to the chair opposite Yu Qingzhi and sat down, pointing at the dozen or so cases on the table.
Yu Qingzhi brushed his long sleeves across the table, put away all the cases, and then said with a smile.
"It just occurred to me that knowing some truths too soon might be detrimental to you, so it's better to wait a little longer."
"What do you mean? What other shocking secrets are hidden in the Dunzhou Catastrophic Path?"
Rong Fei's heart moved and he asked tentatively.
"It's hard to say, it can't be said. When your cultivation is enough to protect yourself, it won't be too late to come back and ask for these cases."
Yu Qingzhi shook his head and said.
"You have to let me know who my opponent is. To what extent can I be able to protect myself?"
"At least surpass me."
"What grade are you?"
"Fourth grade."
"so serious?"
"Cultivation beyond mine only allows you to barely protect yourself. If you really want to seek an explanation and seek justice, you need to go to a higher level."
Rong Fei stopped asking questions and lowered his head to sort out and analyze the information revealed in Yu Qing's words.
Yu Qingzhi stared at Rong Fei for a while. Seeing that he had no intention of asking questions, he stood up, walked around the table and patted Rong Fei on the shoulder.
"The other rooms have been abandoned for a long time and it would be troublesome to clean them up. You can work here from now on. I don't come here often anyway."
After that, Shi Shiran left with his hands behind his back.
Yu Qingzhi seemed to have said nothing just now, but in fact, his words revealed a lot of information. This made Rong Fei, who had probably guessed the answer, feel dizzy.
Why?
how come?
While he was making random guesses, there was a knock on the door behind him.
Rong Fei turned around and saw the thirteen police officers. Then he remembered the cowardly expressions on their faces when he saw them before, and felt strange in his heart.
He stood up and waved to the detectives to let them in, then went to sit down at Yu Qingzhi's seat behind the table.
"What's up?"
Rong Fei asked.
None of the detectives dared to meet Rong Fei's eyes. They winked at each other and after tugging at each other a few times, they all took out an envelope from their arms and placed it in front of Rong Fei.
A total of thirteen envelopes were arranged neatly, with two words written on each envelope - resignation.
Rong Fei glanced at the thirteen resignation letters, feeling a little funny in his heart.
I was originally thinking about how to get rid of these unpleasant looking guys, but I never thought that they would take the initiative to join in. It's just that they really don't want to continue to waste their youth in Jixian Division, or...
"There are a total of fourteen military agents in the Jixian Division. Except for Gu Fengxiao, who was seriously injured and unable to take up his post, the remaining thirteen people submitted their resignations. Haha, are you trying to intimidate Mr. Rong?"
Rong Fei sneered.
"My lord, please don't misunderstand us. We have absolutely no intention of doing so. What we did today is really helpless."
The eldest detective named Hou Chunhua bowed his body and answered with a grimace.
Rong Fei raised his eyebrows but did not answer.
Hou Chunhua licked his chapped lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then explained.
"Sir, you don't know something. Our Jixian Division has not paid out wages for half a year. Although there have been stagnations in previous years, half a year is always a limit, otherwise our brother's family will have to go to the northwest to drink.
Today is the day when wages are distributed, but when I went to the household department to collect the money in the morning, I was kicked out. The manager also said that the treasury was short of money recently and asked him to collect it in three months.
Sir, the brothers have managed to survive the past six months by borrowing money from relatives and neighbors at home. They originally expected to pay off the famine with the payment of wages today, and they all swore to them. But...but there is no money for this.
How are we going to explain this when we go back? We have to wait another three months before we can pay out the salary. I'm afraid that by then the whole family will be starving in the winter."
"Kicked out? Are there monks in the household department? What level of cultivation are they?"
Rong Fei asked.
"No... no... no monks, just ordinary soldiers."
Hou Chunhua blushed and stuttered back.
"Haha, I'm surprised. After all, you are also a ninth-grade monk. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with ten or eight ordinary soldiers. How come you were kicked out?"
"Sir, this is the Ministry of Finance after all. I don't dare to make mistakes in my humble position."
"Humph, coward!"
Rong Fei snorted coldly.
When all the detectives heard this, they all looked unhappy. A young detective named Li Jun suddenly slapped the table and shouted.
"We don't want to be cowardly, but we must have a backer to stand up for us. Mr. Yu stays in Xuanwu Hutong all day long. I have been coming to the Yamen for three years, and I have seen him less than ten times. Your Excellency will not come forward.
, how dare we, small policemen, provoke a powerful person like the Ministry of Revenue?
Also, the reason why you are still holding back your salary today is because yesterday, my lord, you offended the people of Qiankun Temple. The second son of the left minister of household affairs was accepted as a disciple by Qiankun Temple last year, so they made it clear that they wanted to serve Murong Qiu Shui.
Take it out.
Not only that, the only son of Marquis Jingyuan also made harsh words, not allowing any merchants in Kyoto to do Ji Xiansi's business, otherwise they would not be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto.
Sir, to put it bluntly, all this is thanks to you. There is nothing we can do about it."
Li Jun's actions startled the other detectives, and they quickly covered their mouths innocently and apologized to Chao Rongfei.
But Rongfei stood up from his seat, clapped his hands and laughed.
"Okay! You just need this kind of momentum. Being able to say these words shows that you still have some energy and it's not hopeless. Most of what you just said is right, and I can understand your difficulties.
, but one thing needs to be corrected. From the beginning to the end, Ji Xiansi has an unbreakable backer, and this backer is Mr. Yu. If you say that he does not stand up for you, then let me ask you, what have you done to deserve it?
Let him, a dignified fourth-grade monk and the chief arrester of the Immortal Division, come to stand up for you?
Let Mr. Yu go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for your salary? Or let Mr. Yu beat up the soldiers who drove you out? This is what Mr. Ji Xian is used to do?"
The policemen were stunned when they heard this. After careful consideration, it seemed to make some sense, but they also felt that something was wrong.
"Cough cough cough."
Seeing that all the police officers had confused expressions on their faces, Rong Fei was angry and funny. After coughing a few times, he raised his hand and pointed at them one by one.
"You don't understand what I just said, do you? Let me explain. What I mean is, you are all - trash!"
"you…"
The impulsive Li Jun's face changed and he wanted to refute, but was stopped by the person next to him.
"Oh, I'm quite tempered now. Why didn't I have this energy when I was kicked out from the Hubu? Or do you think I'm easier to bully than the soldiers from the Hubu?"
Rong Fei sneered.
"Don't get me wrong, sir. Xiao Li usually has a bad temper. When he went to the Household Department to collect his salary, I was afraid that his temper would be bad, so I didn't take him with me."
Hou Chunhua quickly explained.
"Oh, that's it. Then what were you doing, Detective Li, when Murong Qiu Shui smashed the Ji Xian Si signboard yesterday?"
Rong Fei asked in an unabashedly mocking tone.
"I…"
The expression on Li Jun's face suddenly changed, and he hesitated for a long time before he defended in a low voice.
"Murong Qiu Shui is the Holy Lady of Qian Kun Guan, who walks the world. Her cultivation level is higher than mine. I am no match for her. Even if I come forward, I will be humiliating myself."
"Oh, that's it. I don't dare to take action when I meet someone who is more powerful than me, and I don't dare to take action when I meet someone who is higher in cultivation than me. Hahaha, you still don't admit that you are a waste and a coward."
All the arresters lowered their heads with ugly expressions. They didn't know whether it was because they were hurt by what Rong Fei said, or because they were superior officers and they didn't dare to argue with him anymore.
"Hmph, come with me."
Rong Fei said coldly and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.
The police officers didn't know what Rong Fei meant, so they looked at each other and followed him obediently.
There are three courtyards in Jixiansi. At this time, everyone is entering the second courtyard in the middle. Rong Fei walked through the side corridor and came to the front courtyard. He saw many pairs of shackles hanging on the wooden shelves beside the wall. Judging from the color of the material, they should
Either they are immortal shackles, or they are made of ordinary pig iron.
Rong Fei walked over and took a few shackles in his hands, then went out of the gate, looked around and then headed towards the direction of the Hubu Yamen.
Seeing what Rong Fei had done, the detectives had vaguely guessed something, and all of them suddenly had horrified expressions.
"Brother Hou, this, this, this... I'm afraid something big is going to happen. What should we do?"
The detectives asked Hou Chunhua.
"Follow us and take a look. If something goes wrong, retreat immediately. Since we have decided to leave Jixian Division, there is no need to cause any more trouble."
The detectives nodded quickly and followed Rong Fei from a distance.
Blah blah blah...blah blah blah...
As he walked, the shackles collided with each other, making a rhythmic metal collision sound.
The eight sergeants guarding the door of the Household Department turned their heads when they heard the voice, and saw a young man wearing a gray cloth shirt and holding a bunch of shackles running straight into the Household Department Yamen.
"Stop, where did this stupid young man come from? He dares to break into the Hubu Yamen. Do you want to go to jail?"
Two long spears crossed to stop Rong Fei, and a small flag officer shouted at Rong Fei.
"The Jixian Division is handling the case, and anyone not involved should stay away."
Rong Fei took out the silver medal and shouted coldly.
