Chapter 432: You Are a Robber

Bai Bai Zhiming, once Liao Liao Zihui's capable subordinate, relied on Liao Liao Zihui's promotion and recommendation all the way to sit in the position of Deputy Chief.

He was very loyal to Liao Liao Zihui and handled things very effectively. Arriving in Madame Wuqin Township, it took him only two days to find some clues and send a message to Liao Liao Zihui through a Peeker: Lady Madame Wuqin, the Earth Deity of Madame Wuqin Township, was missing, and it was feared that she was in great danger.

Liao Liao Zihui carefully confirmed with Bai Bai Zhiming: "Is there any possibility that Lady Madame Wuqin is dealing with things elsewhere and is temporarily not in Madame Wuqin Township?"

Bai Bai Zhiming replied: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but the possibility is extremely small. Lady Madame Wuqin rarely associates with others and never easily leaves her own territory."

Liao Liao Zihui picked up the map and thought for a long time: "Could it be because Qiu Qiu Luoye killed Lady Madame Wuqin and merged the two territories into one, so the boundary line in the middle disappeared?"

Bai Bai Zhiming nodded: "Chief, I also think so, but because Qiu Qiu Luoye is not easy to communicate with, I haven't been able to verify this matter yet."

Liao Liao Zihui thought for a moment and asked: "Where are the people who came out of Qiu Qiu Luoye's territory now?"

"Mostly concentrated at the train station. The line from Madame Wuqin Township to the Ink Fragrance Shop is broken, but other lines are still running. He He Yuxiu, Lu Lu Chunying, Ma Ma Junyang, and others are helping them handle travel permits."

At the train station.

They couldn't pass through the boundary lines of other territories.

A blunder!

A serious blunder!

Li Qi didn't have the means to manipulate boundary lines. The disappearance of the boundary line was because these two territories had the same owner.

Liao Liao Zihui let out a long breath. This belonged to a war between Earth Deities within Puluo Continent. The problem was much smaller than previously imagined, and the Guanfang Hall basically had no responsibility here.

Of course, some verification still had to be done next. Let the Guanfang Envoy of Madame Wuqin Township, Liu Guocai, take the initiative to contact Li Qi and discuss the matter of rebuilding the railway with him to see what Li Qi's attitude was.

These were all things for later. The problem in front of him was solved, and a stone fell to the ground. Liao Liao Zihui felt relaxed all over. Looking at the sunset outside the window, he cleared his throat and couldn't help singing a little tune.

"Tianya ya, hai~Mi Jiao, mi ya mi, mi ya me mi zhiyin, xiao meimei..."

"Chief!" Ling Secretary Secretary Ling Sujun suddenly broke in. Seeing Liao Liao Zihui twisting his waist, singing and dancing, the scene was a bit awkward.

Liao Liao Zihui adjusted his state and frowned: "Don't you know how to knock when entering a room? No rules!"

"Sorry, Chief, there is an urgent telegram from above, saying you must answer it immediately."

In Puluo Continent, communication equipment would be strongly interfered with, requiring special forbidden objects, that is, magic treasures, to communicate.

Liao Liao Zihui went to the communication room, took a copper bell the size of a palm in each hand, put one copper bell to his ear and the other to his mouth, revealing a smile:

"Director Du, how long has it been since we last contacted? Last time I went back to report on my duties, I left too hurriedly, and we didn't have a chance to get together..."

After the pleasantries, he entered the main topic. After saying two sentences, Liao Liao Zihui noticed something was wrong and hurriedly explained: "Director Du, things are not what you think..."

After explaining for a while, Liao Liao Zihui didn't say anything more.

Some things had already been decided, and it was too late to explain. Director Du called to give Liao Liao Zihui a reminder: the Outer Continent had already sent people over.

Liao Liao Zihui walked out of the communication room with a dark face. Returning to the office, he said to Ling Secretary Secretary Ling Sujun: "Call Tang Tang Huanjie and Liu Guocai to me."

In the Guanfang Hall, Liao Liao Zihui usually addressed subordinates by their titles, occasionally calling them by their names. Calling them by their full names was very rare.

Before long, Tang Tang Huanjie and Liu Guocai entered the office. Liao Liao Zihui let Ling Secretary Secretary Ling Sujun go out and locked the door.

Tang Tang Huanjie and Liu Guocai were somewhat uneasy. After sitting in the office for a long time, they only heard Liao Liao Zihui ask: "Who reported this over the heads of superiors?"

Reporting over the heads of superiors was a taboo in the Guanfang Hall and also a taboo in the Outer Continent. The two looked at each other and shook their heads at Liao Liao Zihui together.

"Not admitting it?" Liao Liao Zihui laughed, scanning their faces, and lowered his voice: "This is not the Outer Continent; this is Puluo Continent. Do you think I really don't dare to move you?"

Liao Liao Zihui's face seemed to have suddenly turned black.

It wasn't an illusion; his face really turned black, and layers of black clouds were lingering around his body.

A pressure struck, making the two tremble all over, sweating like rain.

Tang Tang Huanjie shook his head repeatedly: "Chief, it's impossible for me to do such a thing!"

Liu Guocai was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said: "Chief, such a big thing happened, I was afraid that chaos would break out, I was afraid I couldn't bear it."

It was him.

It was Liu Guocai who reported the matter to the superiors.

Liao Liao Zihui stared at Liu Guocai for a long time.

Liu Guocai was about to pee his pants.

Silent for a moment, Liao Liao Zihui opened his mouth: "Guocai, why bother? Things you can't bear, we bear together. You rushed to tell the superiors about this, making us very passive now."

The familiar Liao Liao Zihui was back. Liu Guocai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I, I was really afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Liao Liao Zihui laughed. "The matter has been investigated clearly. It was two Earth Deities who fought a battle. Two places became one place, and the boundary line in the middle is gone. Other boundary lines are all there. This matter has nothing to do with Li Qi at all."

Liu Guocai hurriedly stood up: "Chief, it's all my fault. I will explain it to the superiors immediately. I am willing to accept punishment."

Liao Liao Zihui sighed: "Now the superiors attach great importance to this matter and want to send a working group to investigate. It is said that the Balancers are also coming over. Our work will not be easy to carry out next."

Liu Guocai said: "I will contact the superiors immediately and explain it clearly to them."

"No need," Liao Liao Zihui shook his head. "In our work, there are indeed many areas that are not solid. It is a good thing to let the superiors give us guidance. When we arrive at Madame Wuqin Township, the reception task will be handed over to you. You must not have any mistakes."

Liu Guocai stated his position in public: "Chief, rest assured, there will be no mistakes!"

Tang Tang Huanjie and Liu Guocai left the office. Looking at Liu Guocai's back, a trace of coldness flashed in Liao Liao Zihui's eyes.

Liu Guocai had lingering fears. At the stairwell, Liu Guocai lowered his voice: "Deputy Chief Tang, do I still need to talk to Chief Liao alone?"

"What did you just say?" Tang Tang Huanjie looked at his watch. "I still have to rush to a banquet. Let's talk later."

Flower Lake Park, He He Jiaqing dyed his hair white, dressed up as a sixty-year-old man, and was exercising by the fitness equipment.

Seeing Datou sat by the treadmill and lowered his voice: "I'm going to Puluo Continent in two days."

"What are you going to Puluo Continent for?"

"Xiao Zhengong is going to Puluo Continent's Madame Wuqin Township to perform a mission as a Balancer, and he needs an assistant by his side. The bureau sent me."

He He Jiaqing stood on the waist-turning machine and asked: "What happened in Madame Wuqin Township?"

"A piece of land appeared near Madame Wuqin Township, and a section of the boundary line disappeared inexplicably. It is said that this matter is related to a person named Li Qi..."

Seeing Datou told He He Jiaqing the news he knew. He He Jiaqing exhorted: "Puluo Continent is different from the Outer Continent. Be extra careful."

After Seeing Datou left, He He Jiaqing immediately found He He Haisheng: "Third Uncle, I'm going to Puluo Continent. I'll leave the affairs of the Outer Continent to you for now."

He He Haisheng was somewhat worried: "That person on Sage Peak is still watching you. It's dangerous for you to return to Puluo Continent now. If you are not careful, you might encounter their people as soon as you show up."

"I must go back. This matter is very important!"

He He Haisheng looked at the sweat on He He Jiaqing's forehead: "He Jiaqing, I see your body is a bit weak. Why not wait a few days before going back?"

"Can't wait. I must set off today."

He He Haisheng helped He He Jiaqing handle the train ticket and travel permit. He He Jiaqing changed his identity and appearance and boarded the train that same night.

Upon arriving in Madame Wuqin Township, He He Jiaqing immediately went to the desolate village where Lan Qiao Lan Qiao Shaofen lived.

This was a forbidden area of Madame Wuqin Township, and very few people dared to come here usually. He He Jiaqing circled the entrance of the village and picked up a piece of dry, hard mud from the weeds.

He smelled the mud and knew the source of the mud.

This was Lan Qiao Lan Qiao Shaofen's corpse.

Things were getting closer and closer to what he had anticipated.

He He Jiaqing entered Lan Qiao Lan Qiao Shaofen's bedroom, crawled under the bed, and looked for a moment.

Although Li Li Banfeng had restored the scene perfectly, He He Jiaqing still saw the flaws.

He had already guessed everything that happened, but he still couldn't help confirming it.

He opened the secret compartment and took a look. It was empty, and the Earth Deity Seal was gone.

There was a hole under the secret compartment. No need to ask, the contract had already been dug away.

He He Jiaqing slowly crawled out from under the bed, his expression dull, standing by the bed for a long time.

A wave of dizziness struck. He He Jiaqing sat slumped by the bed. He first clenched his fists, then his eyes turned red, and he shed tears.

He could endure anything, even losing an ear.

But he couldn't endure this. This was the foundation of all his plans.

"Robber! Shameless robber behavior!" He He Jiaqing wiped his tears and couldn't help cursing.

"If you kill, you kill, but you still snatch other people's things. I have never snatched other people's things. I hate this kind of shameless robber behavior the most!"

In his hatred, He He Jiaqing gritted his teeth: "Li Li Banfeng, if you don't return the contract to me today, I will take your life!"

Achoo!

Li Li Banfeng was eating noodles in the noodle shop when he suddenly sneezed.

Who is missing me?

After the sneeze, Li Li Banfeng shivered again. This time he had an epiphany.

It was his wife missing him, waiting for him to go home to apply oil.

Every time after applying oil, he would shiver. He was satisfied, and his wife was comfortable too.

Thinking of this, Li Li Banfeng felt a bit urgent.

He walked to the counter and asked the noodle shopkeeper: "How much?"

The shopkeeper was still the old lady. She took two hundred yuan from the counter and handed it to Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng checked the banknotes and nodded: "No need to change."

The old lady respectfully sent Li Li Banfeng out the door.

Finding a quiet place, Li Li Banfeng hid the key, entered the Portable Residence, first pinned down the Phonograph, and then picked up the oil pot.

The Phonograph shouted: "Madman! Slower, I, I'm not ready..."

He He Jiaqing came to the noodle shop, looked around, and the shopkeeper, the old lady, stepped forward and asked: "Are you eating noodles?"

"I'm looking for someone." He He Jiaqing laughed. He didn't see Li Li Banfeng's figure, turned around and was about to leave, when he saw a person enter the noodle shop entrance.

That person was wearing a gray-white overcoat, wearing a gray-white hat.

He He Jiaqing found him familiar, but couldn't recognize him for a moment.

Chu Shaoqiang took off his hat and said: "He Jiaqing, what a coincidence, I was just looking for you. Sit down and have a bowl of noodles together."

PS: He Jiaqing should have listened to his Third Uncle; he shouldn't have come to Puluo Continent, but those two contracts were too important to him.
