Chapter 446

In the courtyard of the military supplies headquarters.

Including Zhang Anwu, over a hundred guards all fell down!

The key is that from beginning to end, Li Fei did not move a single finger.

This scene made the rest of the officials of the military supplies department feel their scalps tingle!

The group of martial artists following Li Fei were also stunned.

They witnessed with their own eyes that day that Li Fei defeated Chen Fei, who possessed four divine abilities; that was a "high-and-mighty" battle for them, and the distance between the realms of the two sides was too far from them; they actually didn't understand much, just "didn't know why but felt it was powerful."

At this moment, seeing Li Fei not even needing to move his hands, making over a hundred martial artists lie down at once.

Everyone felt intuitively just how powerful Li Fei really is!

This kind of ability, let alone against ordinary people, even for the vast majority of martial artists present, is already like an immortal or a demon!

Slap, slap, slap, slap

Li Fei's footsteps sounded in the courtyard; his expression was as usual, and he continued to walk forward.

The guard force of the Northern Territory military supplies headquarters is naturally more than this, but the guards who came later were all shocked when they saw the scene of Li Fei making over a hundred martial artists fall down at once.

For a time, no one dared to come forward to stop this Marquis of Jing'an.

Li Fei scanned the whole scene, very satisfied with the effect he caused.

Just now he used 【Blood Might】.

The first enhancement of 【Blood Might】 changed from a single-target attack to a group attack, which can attack up to ten targets at the same time.

The second enhancement, after being enhanced to the limit, the attack target of 【Blood Might】 increased from ten to one hundred!

Li Fei's current maximum number of blood souls is 3765; just now he directly consumed 376 blood souls to activate 【Blood Might】, and integrated his own true power and mental power, forming a combination of law and martial arts.

This strike targeted one hundred guards present at the same time, and then Li Fei quickly added a second strike to attack the remaining dozens of guards.

True power, mental power plus the power of 【Blood Might】 itself, even if dispersed into one hundred parts, is enough to cause a powerful mental shock to martial masters of the Qi-Transformation stage!

Several martial masters of strength training among the over a hundred guards were "taken care of" by Li Fei alone, and an extra strike was added.

This created the spectacle of over a hundred guards falling down one after another just because Li Fei "looked" at them.

After Li Fei walked a distance, he turned to look at the martial artists behind him and asked indifferently:

"Not following?"

This made the group of martial artists stunned for a moment.

Some quick-witted people reacted immediately: this change is a test for Li Fei, and isn't it also a test for them?

Now it is time to choose a side.

The martial artists from Datong Prefecture and the Nightmare Sect, as well as those from forces on good terms with the Nightmare Sect, did not hesitate and ran to follow.

Once these people moved, others chose to follow one after another.

Of course, there were also some people in the crowd who were still hesitant, and some who had made up their minds not to follow.

"Xue Chen, take a team to the Jia-sized warehouse and check the 7th shelf of warehouse No. 3."

"Huang Yong, you take a team to the Yi-sized warehouse and check the 2nd shelf of warehouse No. 6."

"."

Li Fei began to give orders, asking people to lead teams to check the over a dozen warehouses of the military supplies headquarters, and precise to the specific shelves!

The people he named immediately began to gather manpower and ran toward the corresponding warehouses.

There are guards outside and inside these warehouses, so it is naturally impossible to let people in just like that; if they were let in, these guards would have to take responsibility afterward!

"Stop!"

"Back off!"

"No one is allowed to move!"

"."

Scolding sounds were heard everywhere.

"The Blue Patrol Special Envoy is handling a case; those who dare to stop me will be executed first and reported later, kill for me—"

Li Fei's voice instantly overwhelmed everyone's voice and resounded throughout the entire military supplies headquarters!

Clang, clang, clang, clang—

As Li Fei's voice fell, a series of sword-drawing sounds rang out in the military supplies headquarters!

The martial artists named by Li Fei were the first to draw their weapons, and the martial artists selected by them to act together also drew their swords one after another, confronting the guards of the military supplies headquarters!

What is called choosing a side?

This is what is called choosing a side!

Although at this time only a few hundred Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists really dared to draw their swords and confront the guards of the military supplies headquarters, the sense of oppression Li Fei brought to people was completely different.

This means that he had only come to the Northern Territory for a mere few days, and already hundreds of martial artists dared to take their swords and risk their lives with him!

"Marquis of Jing'an—"

Just as the atmosphere at the scene was on the verge of breaking out, a steady voice came.

A middle-aged man with a very festive appearance wearing an official robe walked toward this side.

This person was followed by a group of people, and beside him was an heroic man with a sword at his waist.

The person who came was Zhao Hongcai, the Northern Territory Transport Commissioner, the true person in charge of the Northern Territory military supplies headquarters.

Things had reached this point, and he could not afford not to show up.

The sword-wearing man following him was the person who was playing chess with him in the office just now, Wang Bufan, a Martial Arts Master responsible for guarding the military supplies headquarters.

Li Fei noticed Wang Bufan at the first moment; the aura on the other party was obscure, difficult to lock onto, and faintly brought him a sense of threat.

To be able to bring a sense of threat to him now, at least it must be a Martial Arts Master, and not that kind of single-ability or double-ability Martial Arts Master.

"Northern Territory Transport Commissioner Zhao Hongcai, greets the Marquis of Jing'an."

Zhao Hongcai walked to Li Fei with a group of people and took the initiative to salute with his hands cupped.

Li Fei returned the salute: "Lord Zhao, nice to meet you."

Zhao Hongcai looked around, glanced at Zhang Anwu who had fallen to the ground, and said:

"Is the Marquis of Jing'an determined to make a scene in my military supplies headquarters today?"

Li Fei: "Lord Zhao misunderstood; this Marquis has no intention of despising the military might of the Northern Territory, but today's matter involves the Blue Patrol Pavilion, and embezzling military supplies is a major matter, so this Marquis has to investigate, otherwise I would be sorry for the Emperor's trust in me!"

Zhao Hongcai looked at Li Fei and said unhurriedly: "The Marquis of Jing'an said someone embezzled military supplies; I wonder who exactly it is?"

Li Fei: "Supervisor of the military supplies headquarters, Zhang Anwu."

Zhao Hongcai nodded: "Where is Zhang Anwu?"

"My Lord, Lord Zhang... is still lying on the ground."

A subordinate reported.

Zhao Hongcai's expression did not change: "Wake him up and bring him over."

Soon, Zhang Anwu was brought over; he had already woken up from his coma.

After waking up, the first thing he saw was Zhao Hongcai, and he immediately shouted loudly:

"Lord Zhao, you must make the decision for us!"

Zhao Hongcai raised his hand to stop Zhang Anwu's wailing:

"The Marquis of Jing'an said you embezzled military supplies; do you have anything to say?"

"Absolutely not! He is slandering me!"

Zhang Anwu said sternly.

Zhao Hongcai heard this and still turned to look at Li Fei unhurriedly:

"I wonder if the Marquis of Jing'an has evidence?"

Li Fei: "Yes, the evidence is in the warehouse of the military supplies headquarters."

Zhao Hongcai frowned: "Do you mean that in order to find evidence, I have to open the entire military supplies headquarters for you to search?"

Li Fei: "No need for that; I already know where the evidence is, and only need to go to a specific warehouse and check a specific shelf."

Zhang Anwu was in a coma just now and didn't hear the order Li Fei issued; hearing Li Fei say this now, his face changed suddenly.

He looked at Li Fei in surprise, and then turned to say to Zhao Hongcai:

"Lord Zhao, how absurd is this matter? Ten thousand..."

But Zhao Hongcai raised his hand again to stop him from continuing, which made Zhang Anwu finally realize that something was wrong.

Zhao Hongcai looked at Li Fei seriously:

"Only check a few specific shelves?"

"Not bad, Lord Zhao can send people to supervise the whole process to ensure that my people don't mess around."

"What if nothing is found in the end?"

"Then today it is this Marquis who took people to break into the military supplies headquarters, and this Marquis is willing to be dealt with by military law!"

"Good!"

Zhao Hongcai finally raised his volume, "Someone, follow the Marquis of Jing'an's people and see with your own eyes how they find the evidence of the crime!"

"Yes!"

The group of subordinates he brought quickly dispersed and ran toward various warehouses.

"Lord Zhao!"

Zhang Anwu was about to protest loudly, but Wang Bufan, who had been standing quietly beside Zhao Hongcai, suddenly looked at him.

Just one look, and Zhang Anwu was like being struck by lightning, unable to make a sound anymore.

With the approval of Transport Commissioner Zhao Hongcai, the guards of the major warehouses let them pass one after another, and Li Fei's people entered them one after another, checking the specific shelves according to what he said before.

Zhang Anwu's face was uncertain, and he felt uneasy.

But even now, he didn't believe that Li Fei could really find the so-called evidence of the crime.

He used the excuse of the Pan Shi City garrison coming to collect Yuan-Replenishing elixirs, but privately kept all the Yuan-Replenishing elixirs that should have been given to the three thousand-plus Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists, and secretly hid them in different warehouses.

Throughout the whole process, he asked himself that he did it very secretly, and they were all trusted aides who had followed him for more than ten years.

These people could not possibly betray him, because if he had an accident, these people would all have to lose their heads!

The military supplies headquarters has over a dozen large and small warehouses, hundreds of storage rooms, and tens of thousands of shelves, storing supplies for over a hundred thousand troops!

In such a complex situation, it is impossible for Li Fei, who has only been in the Northern Territory for a few days, to figure it out.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhang Anwu opened all the inventory records for Li Fei to check, Li Fei might not be able to find out where those elixirs were hidden even if he checked for a year!

This is Zhang Anwu's confidence.

But when the first team carried over a dozen boxes out of the warehouse and piled these boxes in the open space, Zhang Anwu's confidence began to collapse...

Next, people carried boxes out of the warehouse one after another.

Ten minutes later, over a hundred boxes were placed in the open space.

"Open all the boxes!"

Zhao Hongcai ordered.

So over a hundred boxes were opened one after another, revealing ceramic bottles arranged neatly inside.

"What is inside?"

Zhao Hongcai asked again.

"Reporting to my Lord, these boxes are filled with Yuan-Replenishing elixirs of various attributes!"

Whoosh—

Everyone present focused their eyes on Zhang Anwu.

He had just sworn that all the Yuan-Replenishing elixirs in the military supplies headquarters added together would not exceed ten boxes!

As a result, over a hundred boxes were searched from various warehouses now.

Zhang Anwu was bloodless, subconsciously muttering:

"How is it possible... how is it possible..."

He turned to look at Zhao Hongcai.

At this time, the only possibility he could think of was that Transport Commissioner Zhao Hongcai helped Li Fei.

But even Zhao Hongcai could not figure out all the locations where he hid the elixirs in just two days without alerting Zhang Anwu at all.

Could it be that all his trusted aides rebelled collectively?

But in the past two days, Zhang Anwu had contact with his trusted aides and found no abnormalities.

This supervisor of the military supplies headquarters really couldn't figure out how he lost?

Zhao Hongcai glanced at Zhang Anwu, then looked at Li Fei, and a trace of awe for this young Marquis of Jing'an arose in his heart.

He knew very well that he had never helped Li Fei at all, and to quietly find out the elixirs Zhang Anwu hid everywhere, even he could not do it in just two days.

Now, Li Fei actually did what he, the Transport Commissioner, could not do!

"Zhang Anwu, you just kept saying that these Yuan-Replenishing elixirs were all taken away by the Pan Shi City garrison, so what are these now?"

Li Fei asked loudly.

Zhang Anwu gritted his teeth: ". I don't know either, I don't know who hid these Yuan-Replenishing elixirs either."

Li Fei sneered: "At this point, you still want to deny it?"

Zhang Anwu was red-faced: "Everything must be based on evidence; you can't just find something in the warehouse that is not recorded and blame it on me, right?"

He was still unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to struggle a bit more, betting that Li Fei did not have specific evidence of the crime in his hands.

"Tang Congxue, Gong Chen, Fu Yangshu..."

Li Fei called out a series of names.

Hearing these names, Zhang Anwu's face became uglier and uglier.

These people were all his trusted aides in the military supplies headquarters!

These officials were all present, and Zhao Hongcai immediately said:

"Those who were called, all come over."

So a total of eight officials walked out of the crowd anxiously and walked toward this side.

Among these eight officials, five were level 12 martial officers, and three were level 13 martial officers, equivalent to five imperial officials and three imperial seat officials.

"You people, if you confess now, this Marquis can consider dealing with you leniently."

Li Fei looked at these eight officials in front of him and said calmly.

These eight people looked at each other and denied it one after another:

"We don't know what the Marquis wants us to confess? We also don't know why these Yuan-Replenishing elixirs are in the warehouse."

Zhang Anwu on the side breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

These eight people were deeply tied to him, almost sharing honor and disgrace.

Once he had an accident, these eight people would definitely lose their heads, so no one would stand up and point him out at this time.

"Tang Congxue, on the night of June 16th at 9 o'clock, you were responsible for putting a batch of grenades into warehouse No. 2 of the Jia-sized warehouse. During this period, you secretly added seven boxes, and these seven boxes were filled with Yuan-Replenishing elixirs.

On the morning of June 17th at 10 o'clock, you took the opportunity of internal cargo transfer to transfer a batch of bullets in warehouse No. 2 of the Jia-sized warehouse together with those seven boxes of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs to warehouse No. 3 of the Jia-sized warehouse, and finally arranged for people to organize warehouse No. 3, transferring the seven boxes of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs to the 7th shelf, and putting them together with a batch of elixirs that assist in cultivation.

If nothing goes wrong, these seven boxes of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs will be transported out of the military supplies department in three days together with the other elixirs on the shelf, and by then you will naturally have a way to quietly take these seven boxes of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs away."

Li Fei used a calm tone to tell a complete criminal process.

His voice clearly reached the ears of the thousands of people present, making people gasp!

Even Zhao Hongcai, the Transport Commissioner, showed surprise.

What he was surprised by was not Zhang Anwu's methods, but how Li Fei could understand everything in such detail?

This batch of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs went through several transfers from secretly entering the warehouse to secretly leaving the warehouse, and every time it was transferred, there was definitely no problem with the list records. Even the staff responsible for loading and transporting the goods, as well as the officials responsible for checking and signing in each process, might not know that other things were mixed into the goods they handled.

This is why Zhang Anwu was confident that even if all the account books were given to Li Fei to check, he might not be able to find out where this batch of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs was hidden even if he checked for a year!

As a result, Li Fei actually found all the hidden elixirs first, and then stated the detailed criminal method.

This is too creepy!

It's like there is a ghost witnessing everything from the side.

"Lord Zhao, I think there must be detailed records of what I just said."

Li Fei suddenly looked at Zhao Hongcai and said.

Zhao Hongcai immediately ordered: "Go and get the entry and exit records of all warehouses for the past week!"

Taking advantage of the time when someone went to take the entry and exit records, Li Fei looked at the official named Tang Congxue:

"Tang Congxue, do you still need this Marquis to say something more specific?"

Tang Congxue suddenly felt his knees go soft and knelt directly to Li Fei.

His body shook like a sieve, and he shouted with a crying voice:

"Marquis, this subordinate is guilty! It was indeed Zhang Anwu who instructed this subordinate to hide that batch of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs!"

Zhang Anwu's face changed drastically.

Li Fei looked at the others:

"What about you? Still not planning to confess?!"

His voice was like thunder, and his terrifying aura was like a sharp sword, deeply piercing the hearts of the others!

The remaining seven officials all changed their faces and knelt down one after another:

"This subordinate is guilty!"

"Marquis, spare my life, this subordinate is willing to plead guilty!"

"It was indeed Zhang Anwu who instructed us to act like this."

"."

Up to this point, all eight of Zhang Anwu's trusted aides had confessed!

It was not that they were too stupid to understand the principle of "when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold," but that Li Fei's methods were too terrifying!

Even such details were mastered by Li Fei; who knew how many inside stories and evidence of crimes he had in his hands?

The most critical thing was the sentence Li Fei said to Tang Congxue—do you still need this Marquis to say something more specific?

These eight people were all smart people and understood the hint in Li Fei's words:

If you confess obediently now, the matter will only stop at the Yuan-Replenishing elixirs.

If you continue to be stubborn, then I will say more things that can make you lose your heads!

Is it to choose to continue to be tied to Zhang Anwu and wait for death, or to choose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, stand on Li Fei's side, and hope that this Marquis of Jing'an can let them go in the end and fight for that glimmer of life?

All eight officials made a wise choice.

With a thud, Zhang Anwu also knelt down.

His face was ashen.

Li Fei looked down at this supervisor of the military supplies headquarters from a high position.

In fact, he did not master more evidence of crimes; even with the information he had mastered now, as long as the eight trusted aides refused to let go, it would only make Zhang Anwu a suspect and could not nail the other party directly.

What truly sent Zhang Anwu to his death was the suspicion and fear of his trusted aides.

Li Fei did not have any intelligence network in the Northern Territory, and even more so inside the military supplies department.

The reason he could master so many details was all because of the "Dream Realm."

In the past two days, he seemed to have stayed in the camp and didn't go anywhere.

In fact, that was just a clone he deliberately left behind.

He himself used the Sword State: Shadowless and Formless, quietly sneaked into Sha Man City, entered the military supplies headquarters, and then entered the Dream Realm, sneaking into the subconscious of Zhang Anwu and others.

If it was content restricted by oath spells, or if it was too long ago, or secrets hidden deep in the person's heart, Li Fei could not obtain information in the subconscious without alerting the person.

But the embezzlement of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs happened only in the last few days, and such things were already routine operations for Zhang Anwu and others, which could not be considered secrets at all.

So Li Fei easily obtained the content he wanted to know in the subconscious of these people.

It's just that key human evidence and physical evidence were still lacking.

Today he took over three thousand martial artists to break into the military supplies headquarters aggressively.

Deceive with power.

Then find the hidden Yuan-Replenishing elixirs.

Attack with reality.

Then choose Tang Congxue, who had the weakest mental defense observed through the subconscious among the eight trusted aides, as a breakthrough, and point out the other party's criminal process.

Attack the enemy's weakness.

Finally, use words to hint to these people, making them feel that there is still a glimmer of life.

Surround three sides and leave one open.

Step by step like this, Li Fei successfully broke through the psychological defenses of Tang Congxue and others, making them have an illusion—that he possessed an intelligence network they couldn't imagine, and held more evidence of their crimes in his hands.

The way of using troops, attacking the heart is the best!

That's how Zhang Anwu's crime was nailed down.

"Lord Zhao."

Li Fei no longer looked at Zhang Anwu, whose face was ashen, and looked up at Zhao Hongcai:

"What is the crime of embezzling military supplies?"

Zhao Hongcai glanced at Zhang Anwu, his expression serious:

"It depends on the quantity, value, and urgency of the supplies."

Li Fei pointed to the over a hundred boxes opened in the open space:

"He embezzled this batch of Yuan-Replenishing elixirs, how should it be calculated?"

Zhao Hongcai hesitated: "This official is only responsible for military supplies; it is better to leave this matter to the Military Law Department to deal with."

A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of Zhang Anwu, who was kneeling on the ground.

He is Luo Xu's son-in-law; even if he enters the Military Law Department, he still has a chance to survive!

But Li Fei sneered when he heard this:

"Military law? This Marquis just said, today this Marquis is executing the King's law as the Blue Patrol Special Envoy!"

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Anwu:

"You embezzled the Yuan-Replenishing elixirs needed for the training of over three thousand martial artists, and your methods were so skillful, which shows that you have done similar things many times. As the supervisor of the military supplies headquarters, shouldering the logistics responsibility for over a hundred thousand border army soldiers on the front line, the soldiers are fighting for their lives in front, but you are a worm in the rear.

For this alone, you should be executed immediately!"

Zhang Anwu's face changed drastically and he was about to speak, but he couldn't speak after being glanced at by Li Fei.

Without seeing Li Fei make any move, Zhang Anwu suddenly "rose from the ground" and flew into the air.

"This Marquis has the Emperor's trust and represents the imperial court to inspect the world; now that I see a worm of the country like you, if I don't behead you, I would be sorry for the Emperor above, and sorry for the over a hundred thousand border army soldiers fighting for their lives on the front line below!"

Li Fei said while rising into the air, flying to the front of Zhang Anwu.

He drew his Ghost-Slaying Blade, which had not been out of its sheath for a long time, with a swish:

"Today, this Marquis acts on behalf of the Son of Heaven to punish, so that worms like you can know—above military law, there is still King's law!"

As soon as his voice fell, a thunderous explosion came from afar:

"Spare the person under the blade—"

But Li Fei turned a deaf ear and did not hesitate at all; the Ghost-Slaying Blade crossed Zhang Anwu's neck in an instant.

Swish!

The head flew up.
