Chapter 167: This kid's technique is too proficient, really don't know where he learned it

The middle-aged scholar who came to deliver the invitation was stunned by Zhao Xing's answer, and couldn't recover for a long time.

Until he reacted to what Zhao Xing said, a flash of annoyance flashed in his eyes: "Since this is the case, I will go back and explain the reason, and I will definitely bring Lord Zhao's words back exactly!"

After saying that, he intended to flick his sleeves and leave.

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and the gale instantly trapped the middle-aged scholar: "Did this official let you go?"

The middle-aged scholar was stunned: "I am Shao County Magistrate's person, what are you doing!"

"You, a dog-headed strategist, have no official position, no merit, and dare to clamor in front of this official?" Zhao Xing stared at this person: "Really treat yourself as an official? Kneel down!"

Plop~

The middle-aged scholar was instantly oppressed by a huge force and knelt straight down.

"Crack~"

Just this one, his legs were abolished, and his knees were completely shattered.

He didn't enter the rank at all, and he was used to showing off his power with Shao Wanjie, and even Eighth Rank officials had to treat him as a guest of honor.

Today, meeting Zhao Xing, he knew that official authority was like a prison, making him recognize reality instantly.

"Lord Zhao, spare my life, Ha-hiss~ small, small person was wrong." The middle-aged scholar broke his bones, his face was pale, and he immediately begged for mercy.

This person in front of him didn't play cards according to common sense at all. What a strategist fears most is a greenhorn, a madman!

Because he couldn't guess what the other party was thinking at all.

"Rest assured, this official will not kill you." Zhao Xing smiled, "Come, write down Shao Wanjie's crimes properly, you should know a lot."

The middle-aged scholar opened his mouth and wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide.

How could Zhao Xing let him get his wish? He immediately hit his jaw with a gale, directly dislocating his jawbone.

"Whether you write it or not doesn't matter. Shao Wanjie's crimes are countless, and it is very easy to collect evidence. The imperial court is rectifying the border army this time, and Shao Wanjie will surely die."

"I heard people say that you have a wife and children here, presumably they are held by him. If your wife and children are not deeply involved, you make a confession, this official can guarantee that they can live, and they will be rescued within two hours."

"Of course, if you don't believe it, and insist on sinking with Shao Wanjie's ship, just move your neck three inches forward, this official's gale can fulfill your foolish loyalty."

The middle-aged scholar's heart trembled. He never thought that sending a banquet invitation would reach this point.

But everything in front of him indicated that Zhao Xing was telling the truth.

He, a Water Control Commissioner, had no grievances with himself, why kill him?

Isn't it just determined to handle Shao Wanjie?

Daring to move a Senior Seventh Rank as a Junior Seventh Rank, either Zhao Xing's background is terrifyingly big, or it is true as he said, the imperial court wants to rectify the style, otherwise it can't be explained at all.

After the impulse just now, he used his brain, and he didn't want to die anymore.

Although he couldn't speak, his hands could still write, so he immediately wrote on the ground with his fingers: Let them live.

Zhao Xing nodded, and then Long Xiao set up the middle-aged scholar to the side hall to write a testimony.

He picked up the written official document and walked toward another side hall of the Water Control Office.

Due to the high specification, a row of statues was enshrined inside the Water Control Office.

But these statues were very short, as if they were fireplaces.

The things he received from the prefectural city included incense for inviting gods and a stack of special paper money.

He lit three sticks and immediately burned them in front of the statue of Dai Zong, the God of Travel.

This is the medium for inviting gods, and the price is incense for inviting gods and paper money.

"Hu~"

The incense burner in front of the Dai Zong statue suddenly burned, and the Dai Zong statue opened its eyes.

"Yuncheng Water Control Commissioner Zhao Xing, what do you have to call this god?"

"One urgent official document, sent to the Prefectural Water Control Office."

"The urgent order needs to specify the first recipient."

"Prefectural Water Control Office Lord Tantai Ming."

"Can."

Zhao Xing burned the document in.

Chi chi chi~ three sticks of incense and a piece of paper money quickly burned out.

At the same time, the Prefectural Water Control Office.

In Tantai Ming's official room, there were three rows of statue fireplaces, constantly spitting out official documents. After these documents flew out, they were automatically folded, and soon piled up into a small mountain.

"Clatter~"

Tantai Ming sat at the desk. He had hundreds of official documents spread out in front of him, and a sparrow feather command token slid across the official documents at high speed.

Constantly opening, closing, and flying into the fireplace again.

Just in an instant, he completed the approval of hundreds of official documents. Even so, there were still quite a few official documents waiting to be signed and replied in front of him.

Because the entire Nine Heavens Yingyuan Prefecture had too many things to deal with, especially in a state of combat readiness, it was even busier.

"Patta~"

Just at this time, seven official documents fell directly into Tantai Ming's arms.

Urgent official documents can jump the queue, but this is not the main reason. After all, there are quite a few urgent official documents now.

Being able to be processed first was mainly because Tantai Ming had pre-set this mechanism.

Which places' official documents should be read first were all set in advance.

Tantai Ming read the urgent official documents a little slower, but the seven official documents were also replied to quickly, taking only one minute.

Although Tantai Ming is Junior Fourth Rank and has the help of the three-flower golden top gemstone crown, his brain's processing speed is comparable to a small Earth Mirror.

Zhao Xing intended to leave, because Tantai Ming couldn't see it immediately. The vast Nine Heavens Yingyuan Prefecture didn't know how many messages were sent to him every day, and it would take time to finish reading them.

But before he walked out of the door, the Dai Zong statue opened its eyes again, the fireplace burned again, and an official document flew out, heading straight for Zhao Xing's arms.

"Hmm? So fast?"

Zhao Xing was stunned. He hadn't even crossed the threshold yet, and Tantai Ming replied?

Open it and look.

The official document reply had only eight simple words: Quietly observe the changes, can catch, do not interrogate.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and found that Tantai Ming gave him two choices.

One is to do nothing and wait for the process above to send someone over.

Two is to catch Shao Wanjie first, but do not interrogate him.

Both choices make sense. Zhao Xing is the Water Control Commissioner and has no obligation to catch people. He only needs to wait for the processing result.

Zhao Xing is not an ordinary Water Control Commissioner. He is also a military agricultural official, currently executing military world tasks. As a military agricultural official with strong combat power, he can prevent this Shao Wanjie from running away according to the instructions above.

Military agricultural officials have this obligation. After all, military agricultural officials can fight, just like Old Chen acted as the main force when dealing with the Profound Heaven Sect in Gucheng.

However, interrogation is not Zhao Xing's business.

Tantai Ming deliberately wrote the words "do not interrogate," which is both a reminder to Zhao Xing and a protection for him.

"Shao Wanjie is involved with the Fifth Rank Prefectural Assistant Liu Junliang, and even more people. Knowing too much is not good for me, so let me not interrogate."

"I don't interrogate, just assist in catching people according to Tantai Ming's instructions, then there will be no trouble."

"In addition, Tantai Ming may also be hinting to me that the top may only intend to kill Shao Wanjie and does not intend to further expand the situation. At least it is impossible to bring down Liu Junliang through this report of mine. This matter shouldn't be done by me even if it is done."

Zhao Xing thought about it, holding the official document and walking out of the hall: "If it were normal, I would just wait after reporting. But now I have to fight for time. The sooner Shao Wanjie is solved, the better. Dragging it for ten days or half a month will be quite unfavorable to my subsequent development."

"In addition, I catch Shao Wanjie and lock him up, which can also protect Yuncheng's assets."

Shao Wanjie falls, and he is the biggest official, so Yuncheng's assets, isn't it Master Zhao's money?

To develop, how can it work without money?

"Catch! Catch hard! Fighting crime, I, Zhao, am duty-bound!"

Zhao Xing immediately found Long Xiao.

At this time, he had just finished interrogating that strategist.

"Prepare, go to the banquet."

"Ah?" Long Xiao was stunned, "We just detained his people, and now we are going to the banquet?"

"He doesn't know." Zhao Xing said, "I am not just going to the banquet this time, but also to catch Shao Wanjie."

"Just like what Old Chen did in Gucheng last time?"

"Exactly." Zhao Xing said: "Can you fight? This dog thing Shao Wanjie is both civil and military. He is Senior Seventh Rank, has martial artist's martial skills, and can use ritual cultivation methods."

"Is he a sword cultivator?" Long Xiao asked.

"No."

"Then does he have a hundred Seventh Rank protections?"

"Are you that tough?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise. "Can you fight a hundred?"

"Are you insulting me?" Long Xiao sneered: "It's as if you are the only genius in the world. When you fight those non-four-academy military agricultural officials of the same rank in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, how many can you fight?"

Zhao Xing pondered: "A hundred seems to be no problem."

Long Xiao patted the sword and said proudly: "Then that's it? Among the 87,000 people in the Divine Might Army, excluding the Marquis, there are only five sword cultivators. I am one of them. You ask me if I can fight? Isn't it insulting me?"

"Sorry, it's subordinate's eyes that are low, please forgive me, brave captain."

"That's more like it." Long Xiao pulled his belt, "But do you think I can make a move? I am your protector, this test is yours, not mine. You want to speed up the rectification of Yuncheng's internal affairs, don't you have to do it yourself? Will my move reduce your evaluation?"

Zhao Xing pondered: "No, the third ring task is mainly water control, and I didn't let you help when controlling water. We are helping the top catch people as an obligation, do we have to reduce my evaluation? Even if it affects, this influence is not big. Weighing the pros and cons, solving this tumor quickly is the most important thing for me to get on the right track as soon as possible."

"Fine, you have the final say."

Shao Wanjie's mansion was built very luxuriously, comparable to ten market areas in Yuncheng.

He also didn't allow commoners to live next to him, and gave all the land to his confidants.

When Zhao Xing walked into the surroundings of Shao Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh that this Shao Wanjie really had a way to die.

Because he concurrently held the position of County Lieutenant, Shao Wanjie also sent two teams of guards to patrol around Shao Mansion, and brought the government's soldiers to stand guard at his private mansion.

When Zhao Xing and Long Xiao arrived at the gate of Shao Mansion in a purple-horned carriage, they even saw two teams of barbarian soldiers!

"A team of lion-headed soldiers, a team of bull-headed soldiers? He is just a small viscount, and he dares to raise barbarian soldiers?" Long Xiao's eyes widened.

Barbarian soldiers, it's not that they can't be raised. Barbarian soldiers who have been civilized are not rare in the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Prefecture, but the regulations only allow the private guards of marquises to take barbarian soldiers for their own use.

Besides that, only by serving as a military official in the barbarian soldier establishment can one command barbarian soldiers, but that is a government army, not a private army.

Shao Wanjie transferred lion-headed soldiers and bull-headed soldiers to guard the door, which violated the great taboo.

"This person is simply lawless, the mansion exceeds the system, raises barbarian soldiers, deceives the top and hides from the bottom, corrupts, and arbitrarily transfers officials from the four offices to be his ministers..." Long Xiao looked at those barbarian soldiers and his hand couldn't help but hold the sword.

"If you are an emperor of the earth for a long time, it is easy to treat yourself as a real emperor." Zhao Xing shook his head, "Kill these barbarian soldiers directly in a while, don't show mercy, but leave the whole corpse."

"I know."

Da da da~ The purple-horned carriage entered two miles outside the gate and was stopped by the barbarian soldiers setting up a card.

"Yuncheng Water Control Commissioner Zhao Xing, invited by Lord Shao, came to the banquet."

Zhao Xing wore official robes, lifted the carriage, and showed his official seal.

"So it's the superior official of the Heavenly Dynasty." The bull-headed soldier who stopped the way and asked, had two bull horns on his head, and his nose was also a bull nose, and the rest were still human.

After seeing Zhao Xing, his attitude suddenly became respectful.

"Let, let go quickly!"

Barbarian soldiers are fierce, but civilized barbarian soldiers, when seeing the imperial court officials of the Great Zhou, are as obedient as dogs.

Because in their eyes, the Great Zhou is the Heavenly Dynasty, the master of the Divine Land, and the symbol of invincibility!

Great Zhou officials who cultivate to a very high realm still maintain human form, but they can't, and they worship the Great Zhou in every way.

Civilized barbarian soldiers are all willing to be dogs for the Great Zhou.

In front of Great Zhou officials, they are very inferior.

Conversely, they look down on the Southern Barbarian tribes very much.

Being able to be a dog for the Great Zhou, in their view, is an honor.

Ordinary barbarian tribes want to be but can't!

The group that kills Southern Barbarian alien races the most fiercely is this group of civilized barbarian soldiers.

"My lord, I will lead the horse for you." The bull-headed soldier nodded and bowed, walking in front. After leading the horse rope, he became spirited and shouted while walking: "All get out of the way, get out of the way, don't shock the lord!"

Inside the mansion, in a hot spring.

Shao Wanjie was lying in the arms of a pair of twins, girls with cat ears. He was bare-chested and bare-backed, eating grapes and drinking wine, while his palm reached into the girl's lapels, bringing out the girl's shy laughter.

Looking at the appearance of the twins, Shao Wanjie's beastly nature flared up, and he was about to go further, but heard the servant report.

"My lord, the newly appointed Water Control Commissioner of the Yuncheng Office of the Minister of Agriculture, Zhao Xing, has arrived outside the mansion gate."

"Oh?" Shao Wanjie raised his head from the girl's arms. He had a collapsed nose, squinting eyes, and a bald forehead. "Came quite early. Where is Fang Wen?"

"Lord Fang hasn't returned yet."

"Humph, this guy is getting more and more ignorant. After throwing the invitation, he doesn't know how to come back to report. Don't know where he went to play with women again." Shao Wanjie cursed, never thinking that the strategist had already surrendered to the enemy.

"Lead that Zhao Xing to the side hall to entertain, send a few boxes of treasures to him, look at the reaction first, and report again in a quarter of an hour. Remember, in a quarter of an hour."

After Shao Wanjie finished speaking, he pounced on the twin girls with a lewd face: "Beauty, I'm coming."

Shao Mansion, in an exquisite side hall, Long Xiao looked at the boxes of treasures carried in by the servants, his eyes unkind, while Zhao Xing was closing his eyes and resting.

"Lord Zhao, this is the meeting gift my lord sent to you, to celebrate Lord Zhao's new appointment."

Zhao Xing opened his eyes, but didn't look at the steward who spoke, flicked his finger, and a flame burned this person to ashes.

"Found the person, but that guy is still doing things. Should we wait until he is exhausted before going over?" Zhao Xing just closed his eyes, which was to sense Shao Wanjie's existence and all the masters in the mansion by merging his life soul with heaven and earth souls.

Combined with the clouds in the sky and the wind in the air, he immediately located Shao Wanjie's position.

"This place is foul, I can't wait for a moment, catch him quickly and finish it."

"Fine." Zhao Xing grabbed Long Xiao, escaped into the ground, crossed the rockery and veranda, and immediately arrived under a hot spring.

"Beauty~" Shao Wanjie was still doing things, not noticing the abnormality at all.

"Whew~" Zhao Xing and Long Xiao floated out of the ground, flicked their fingers at the back of Shao Wanjie's head, and an invisible bug flew into Shao Wanjie's body instantly.

"Uh..." Shao Wanjie seemed to have accumulated several years of sleepiness, and immediately fell asleep.

The two cat-eared twin girls were puzzled, but before they could raise their heads, Zhao Xing shot again, instantly knocking the two unconscious.

"Looks like I don't need to make a move at all." Long Xiao sneered, "This guy has rotted in the soft jade of the warm bed for ten years and has completely collapsed... What to do next?"

"Open the box." Zhao Xing said, "There are materials for phantom straw men in the literary bamboo box."

"Oh." Long Xiao immediately put down the box.

"Rise!" Zhao Xing pointed his finger, and a phantom straw man appeared, turning into Shao Wanjie's appearance.

"You stay here with the straw man and act according to the situation, stabilize the others." Zhao Xing said, "I will send the real person to the temple to be locked up."

"Should I send him to the temple? I'm not very good at pretending." Long Xiao felt that this operation was difficult. He was good at killing, but pretending to be others was a bit difficult. "And you have to control the phantom straw man, it's easy to reveal flaws if you are far away."

Zhao Xing thought it was also true, so he threw his seal to Long Xiao: "Go and come back quickly. Remember, you must hand the person to the Yuncheng Temple Priest Shen Mingyu, watch him complete the confession in front of the Judicial Yin God, and lock him in, before you can come back."

"Remembered, I'll be back soon." Seventh Rank Refining Evil, Long Xiao could already fly short distances with evil, and immediately rolled up Shao Wanjie and flew out.

Zhao Xing looked at the sleeping twin alien girls, blew a gloomy wind into their minds, which would make them confused for a short time and forget what just happened.

Then he ordered the phantom straw man to lie on a chair next to the hot spring, and fished the alien girls up and placed them on both sides of the straw man.

He himself quietly escaped into the ground again, returned to the guest hall, and raised another phantom straw man to become the steward's appearance.

"Done." Zhao Xing clapped his hands, and together with the "steward," walked toward the direction of "Shao Wanjie."

Military world, under a sunny land, stood towers hundreds of meters high.

Each tower was rotating according to a unique trajectory.

Inside one of the military towers with ten suns carved on the outside, it was filled with countless mechanism magic arrays. Each floor had many mechanism masters busy. In the highest tower space, there were three virtual shadows up to five meters high, staring at an Earth Mirror.

The Earth Mirror separated many pictures, which were the overlooking scenes of various places in Yuncheng.

In the center picture, it showed a close-up, reflecting Shao Wanjie's mansion.

"Just one straw man method to solve Shao Wanjie. According to the deduction progress of the Creation Disk, he will be much smoother than others next." One of the virtual shadows spoke, his voice like a bell: "Is the third ring task we set for Zhao Xing too easy? He hasn't made a single mistake so far."

"Replacing peaches with plums, stealing the sky and changing the sun, it's easy to say, but hard to do." Another virtual shadow had purple light flickering on his body, "It's not that the task we set has no difficulty, it's that he is smart and capable. The test in politics is enough, no need to increase the intensity in this regard."

"I just think this kid's technique is too proficient, as if he is accustomed to it. Ten Suns Cave Heaven didn't teach these, really don't know where he learned it."
